Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, and in particular to a water purification device. Background Technology
[0002] In water purification equipment such as water purifiers, the filtration mechanism plays a major role in filtration. This mechanism includes multiple filter bottles fixed in mounting slots within a central frame, requiring regular cleaning or replacement. In existing filtration mechanisms that use a screw-on method to replace filter bottles, the filter bottle consists of a cap and a body. The cap has a latch that engages with the central frame to secure the filter bottle.
[0003] Existing pressure caps typically have a larger outer diameter at the top than at the bottom, with the clip positioned on the outer circumference of the bottom so that the top of the pressure cap can cover the clip. This structure results in a larger outer diameter for the pressure cap, which in turn increases the axial distance between the two filter bottles fixed to the middle frame, affecting the size of the middle frame and ultimately increasing the overall size of the unit, thus reducing the feasibility of installing the water purification equipment. Utility Model Content

[0015] As an optional solution for the above-mentioned water purification equipment, the snap-fit groove includes a sliding section and a snap-fit section arranged and connected along the circumference of the mounting groove. The sliding section passes through the top surface of the middle frame along the axial direction of the mounting groove. The snap-fit section is connected to the bottom end of the sliding section. The snap-fit part can enter the snap-fit section from the sliding section.
[0016] As an optional solution for the above-mentioned water purification equipment, the snap-fit section extends obliquely towards the bottle body along the axial direction of the cap, in the direction of screwing the snap-fit part into the snap-fit groove.
[0017] Along the direction from the sliding section to the snap-fit section, the snap-fit groove extends obliquely towards the bottom end along its axial direction.

[0035] This embodiment provides a water purification device, which includes a filtration mechanism for filtering water to improve drinking water hygiene and ensure drinking safety. The water purification device can be a water purifier, water purifier machine, or water purifier dispenser.
[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the filtration mechanism includes a middle frame 200 and at least two filter bottles 100. The middle frame 200 has mounting slots 210, the number of which is the same as the number of filter bottles 100. Each mounting slot 210 contains one filter bottle 100, integrating at least two filter bottles 100 into a central control unit, resulting in a high degree of modularity in the filtration mechanism. The at least two filter bottles 100 are connected in series to perform multi-stage filtration of water, improving the water purification effect.
[0037] In this embodiment, there are two filter bottles 100, which are connected in series to achieve secondary filtration. In other embodiments, there may be three, four or more filter bottles 100.
[0038] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the filter bottle 100, a snap-fit groove 220 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 210. The filter bottle 100 includes a snap-fit part 122, which can be rotatably inserted into the snap-fit groove 220 to prevent the filter bottle 100 from coming out of the snap-fit groove 220. Specifically, the filter bottle 100 includes a bottle body 110 and a cap 120 connected to the bottle body 110. The cap 120 includes a cap body 121 and a snap-fit part 122 protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the cap body 121. The snap-fit part 122 is used to cooperate with the snap-fit groove 220.
[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the snap-fit groove 220 includes a sliding section 221 and a snap-fit section 222 arranged circumferentially and connected to the mounting groove 210. The sliding section 221 passes through the top surface of the middle frame 200 along the axial direction of the mounting groove 210, and the snap-fit section 222 is connected to the bottom end of the sliding section 221. When fixing the filter bottle 100 and the middle frame 200, the snap-fit part 122 on the filter bottle 100 is aligned with the sliding section 221, and the filter bottle 100 is inserted into the mounting groove 210. As the filter bottle 100 is gradually inserted into the mounting groove 210, the snap-fit part 122 will enter the sliding section 221. Then, the pressure cap 120 is rotated, causing the snap-fit part 122 on the pressure cap 120 to move circumferentially along the mounting groove 210, thereby moving from the sliding section 221 into the snap-fit section 222, completing the assembly.
[0040] It is understandable that after the filter bottle 100 is installed into the mounting groove 210, the snap-fit part 122 is located between the two side walls of the snap-fit section 222. The two side walls are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, which has a limiting effect on the snap-fit part 122, preventing the snap-fit part 122 from separating from the snap-fit section 222 along the axial direction of the mounting groove 210, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the filter bottle 100 and preventing the filter bottle 100 from coming out of the mounting groove 210.
[0041] When it is necessary to disassemble the filter bottle 100, rotate the pressure cap 120 in the opposite direction so that the snap-fit part 122 enters the sliding section 221 from the snap-fit section 222. Then the filter bottle 100 can be taken out. Disassembly is convenient and the operation is simple.
[0042] To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the pressure cap 120, a screwing part 123 is provided on the top surface of the pressure cap body 121. The screwing part 123 drives the pressure cap body 121 to rotate, simplifying the operation.
[0043] To improve the fixing effect between the filter bottle 100 and the middle frame 200, in this embodiment, the number of snap-fit parts 122 on the cap body 121 is two. The two snap-fit parts 122 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the cap body 121. Each snap-fit part 122 can be fitted with a snap-fit groove 220 to increase the fixing position and contact area between the filter bottle 100 and the middle frame 200, thereby improving the fixing effect.
[0044] In other embodiments, the number of snap-fit portions 122 may also be three, four or more.
[0045] In the prior art, the outer diameter of the cap 120 is designed to be larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, with the snap-fit part 122 located at the bottom of the cap 120, so that the snap-fit part 122 is completely below the top of the cap 120 in the axial direction, thus blocking the snap-fit groove 220 by the top of the cap 120. However, this structure increases the size of the cap 120, with the outer diameter of the top of the cap 120 being larger than the outer diameter of the bottle body 110, and the difference in outer diameter is generally around 20mm. This results in a larger axial distance between the two filter bottles 100 on the middle frame 200, leading to a larger size of the middle frame 200, which in turn results in a larger size of the filtration mechanism and the overall water purification equipment, greatly reducing the feasibility of installing the water purification equipment.
[0046] To solve the above problems, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the cap body 121 is a cylindrical surface of equal diameter, and the snap-fit portion 122 protrudes from the cylindrical surface. By setting the outer peripheral surface of the cap body 121 to a cylindrical surface of equal diameter, the cap body 121 does not need to block the snap-fit portion 122 along the axial direction, thereby reducing the size of the cap body 121. Correspondingly, the inner diameter of the mounting groove 210 will also be reduced, thereby reducing the axial distance between the two filter bottles 100 on the middle frame 200, reducing the size of the filtration mechanism and the overall water purification equipment, thereby reducing the requirements of the water purification equipment for installation space and increasing the feasibility of installing the water purification equipment in different environments.
[0047] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the capping body 121 can be adapted to the outer diameter of the bottle body 110. Specifically, the outer diameter of the capping body 121 can be equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the bottle body 110.
[0048] To make the distribution of filter bottles 100 on the middle frame 200 more compact, the middle frame 200 forms an adjoining area 230 between two adjacent mounting slots 210. The adjoining area 230 is the physical position between the two mounting slots 210. The snap-fit slots 220 in the two adjacent mounting slots 210 are staggered from the adjoining area 230, thereby reducing the size of the adjoining area 230 and reducing the axial distance between the two filter bottles 100.
[0049] It should be noted that the snap-fit grooves 220 in the two adjacent mounting slots 210 are offset from the adjacent area 230. This means that the inner wall of the mounting slot 210 containing the snap-fit groove 220 is located outside the position of the adjacent area 230. The adjacent area 230 is essentially the side wall portion shared by the two adjacent mounting slots 210. The dimensions of the adjacent area 230 along the arrangement direction of the two mounting slots 210 directly affect the axial spacing between the two mounting slots 210. The snap-fit groove 220 is located on the inner wall outside the shared side wall portion. This allows the snap-fit part 122 to cooperate with the snap-fit groove 220 to fix the filter bottle 100 and the middle frame 200. The snap-fit part 122 is located outside the adjacent area 230, and the adjacent area 230 does not need to accommodate the snap-fit part 122. This reduces the radial dimension of the adjacent area 230 along the mounting slot 210, allowing the two mounting slots 210 to be closer together, resulting in a more compact structure and smaller overall size of the filter mechanism.
[0050] In other embodiments, among two adjacent mounting slots 210, only the snap-fit groove 220 in one mounting slot 210 may be staggered from the adjacent area 230, and the snap-fit groove 220 in the other mounting slot 210 may extend into the adjacent area 230. Alternatively, the size of the adjacent area 230 may be reduced to a certain extent to reduce the axial distance between the two filter bottles 100.
[0051] In one embodiment, the axial distance between two adjacent mounting slots 210 is H, the outer diameter of the cap body 121 is d, and the radial dimension of the snap-fit portion 122 protruding from the cap body 121 is R. Then Hd = N * R, where N is 0.5-1.5. Through the above arrangement, while ensuring the middle frame 200 has a certain strength, the size of the adjacent area 230 can be minimized, thereby making the filter bottles 100 more compactly distributed on the middle frame 200, thus reducing the size of the filtration mechanism and water purification equipment. For example, N can be 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5.
[0052] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the mounting groove 210 within the adjacent area 230 is the adjacent inner wall. Along the direction in which the snap-fit part 122 is screwed into the snap-fit groove 220, the snap-fit groove 220 and the adjacent inner wall are adjacent to each other circumferentially along the pressure cap 120. That is, along the direction in which the snap-fit part 122 is screwed into the snap-fit groove 220, one end of the snap-fit groove 220 is connected to the adjacent inner wall. This arrangement allows the snap-fit part 122 and the adjacent area 230 to be staggered, reducing the radial dimension of the adjacent area 230 along the mounting groove 210. After the snap-fit part 122 is screwed into the snap-fit groove 220 and the filter bottle 100 and the middle frame 200 are fixed, the snap-fit part 122 and the adjacent inner wall are connected circumferentially along the pressure cap 120. This facilitates the rational use of the circumferential inner wall space of the snap-fit groove 220, maximizing the length of the snap-fit part 122 along the circumferential direction of the pressure cap 120, thereby improving the fixing effect.
[0053] It should be noted that the direction in which the snap-fit part 122 screws into the snap-fit groove 220 refers to the direction along the circumference of the pressure cap 120 from the sliding section 221 to the snap-fit section 222. Along the direction in which the snap-fit part 122 screws into the snap-fit groove 220, one end of the snap-fit groove 220 is in contact with the adjacent inner wall; specifically, this means that the snap-fit section 222 is in contact with the adjacent inner wall.
[0054] In another embodiment, the snap-fit groove 220 is screwed into the snap-fit portion 122 along the direction in which it is screwed into the snap-fit groove 220, and the snap-fit groove 220 and the adjacent inner wall are spaced apart circumferentially along the cover 120 to form a gap region. Specifically, the gap region is located between the snap-fit portion 222 and its adjacent inner wall.
[0055] By setting an interval area, the distance between the snap-fit part 122 and the adjacent area 230 after the filter bottle 100 and the middle frame 200 are fixed can be increased, thereby minimizing the radial dimension of the adjacent area 230 along the mounting groove 210 to make the structure more compact.
[0056] Optionally, the central angle corresponding to the length of the interval region along the circumference of the pressure cap 120 is a third central angle, which is less than or equal to 60°. Preferably, the third central angle is 15°-35° to ensure the length of the snap-fit portion 122 along the circumference of the pressure cap 120. Exemplarily, typical non-limiting values for the third central angle are 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 55°, and 60°.
[0057] In one embodiment, the central angle corresponding to the length of the snap-fit portion 122 along the circumference of the pressure cover 120 is the first central angle, and the central angle corresponding to the length of the adjacent area 230 along the circumference of the pressure cover 120 is the second central angle, wherein the second central angle is greater than or equal to the first central angle. By setting the second central angle to be greater than or equal to the first central angle, the distance between the snap-fit groove 220 and the adjacent area 230 can be increased, ensuring that the middle frame 200 at the adjacent area 230 has a certain thickness, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the middle frame 200.
[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the cap body 121 is provided with two snap-fit parts 122. The central angle A corresponding to the length of the snap-fit part 122 along the circumference of the cap 120 is 35°-45°. Within this range, on the one hand, it can ensure that the snap-fit part 122 and the middle frame 200 have a larger mating dimension, thereby improving the fixing effect between the filter bottle 100 and the middle frame 200; on the other hand, the central angle corresponding to the minimum movement path of each snap-fit part 122 between the two positions of fully engaging with the snap-fit section 222 and fully disengaging from the snap-fit section 222 is 70°-90°, which can ensure that the central angle corresponding to the distance between the two corresponding snap-fit grooves 220 is 90°-110°. That is to say, the central angle corresponding to the contact area 230 is 90°-110°, so as to ensure that the contact area 230 has sufficient strength.
[0059] For example, the central angle A corresponding to the length of the snap-fit portion 122 along the circumferential direction of the pressure cover 120 is 35°, 36°, 37°, 38°, 39°, 40°, 41°, 42°, 43°, 44°, or 45°.
[0060] To ensure the fixation effect of filter bottle 100 and middle frame 200, the central angle corresponding to the length of snap-fit section 222 along the circumference of cap 120 can be equal to or slightly larger than the central angle corresponding to the length of snap-fit part 122 along the circumference of cap 120. This ensures that snap-fit part 122 can fully enter snap-fit section 222, increasing the mating area between snap-fit part 122 and middle frame 200, thereby making the fixation effect of filter bottle 100 and middle frame 200 more stable.
[0061] To reduce assembly difficulty, the central angle corresponding to the length of the sliding section 221 along the circumference of the cap 120 can be greater than the central angle corresponding to the length of the snap-fit section 222 along the circumference of the cap 120. In other words, the length of the sliding section 221 along the circumference of the cap 120 is greater than the length of the snap-fit part 122 along the circumference of the cap 120, allowing the snap-fit part 122 some room to move within the sliding section 221. This facilitates the snap-fit part 122 entering the sliding section 221 during the assembly of the filter bottle 100 and the middle frame 200, thus reducing assembly difficulty.
[0062] In addition, designing the length of the sliding section 221 along the circumference of the cover 120 to be greater than the length of the snap-fit part 122 along the circumference of the cover 120 can also improve the structural tolerance and avoid the problem that the snap-fit part 122 cannot be assembled with the snap-fit groove 220 due to the dimensional error of the snap-fit groove 220 or the snap-fit part 122.
[0063] Optionally, the central angle corresponding to the length of the snap-fit groove 220 along the circumference of the cover 120 is 105°-125°, wherein the central angle corresponding to the sliding section 221 is 70°-80° and the central angle corresponding to the snap-fit section 222 is 35°-45°.
[0064] For example, the central angle corresponding to the length of the snap-fit groove 220 along the circumferential direction of the cover 120 can be 105°, 106°, 107°, 108°, 109°, 110°, 111°, 112°, 113°, 114°, 115°, 116°, 117°, 118°, 119°, 120°, 121°, 122°, 123°, 124°, or 125°.
[0065] For example, the central angles corresponding to the length of the sliding section 221 along the circumference of the cover 120 are 70°, 71°, 72°, 73°, 74°, 75°, 76°, 77°, 78°, 79°, and 80°.
[0066] For example, the central angles corresponding to the length of the snap-fit segment 222 along the circumferential direction of the cover 120 are 35°, 36°, 37°, 38°, 39°, 40°, 41°, 42°, 43°, 44°, and 45°.
[0067] To reduce processing difficulty, in this embodiment, two snap-fit portions 122 are provided on the cap body 121, and the two snap-fit portions 122 are arranged opposite each other along the radial direction of the cap body 121; correspondingly, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, two snap-fit slots 220 are provided on the side wall of the mounting slot 210. The two snap-fit slots 220 are symmetrically arranged to ensure that the two snap-fit parts 122 enter or disengage from the corresponding snap-fit section 222 simultaneously.
[0068] Optionally, the central angle corresponding to the length between two adjacent snap-fit slots 220 is 55°-75° to ensure the strength of the contact area 230. For example, the central angles corresponding to the length between two adjacent snap-fit slots 220 are 55°, 56°, 57°, 58°, 59°, 60°, 61°, 62°, 63°, 64°, 65°, 66°, 67°, 68°, 69°, 70°, 71°, 72°, 73°, 74°, and 75°.
[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two snap-fit parts 122 on the pressure cap 120 are located on opposite sides of the screw-on part 123, and the two snap-fit parts 122 are centrally symmetrically arranged.
[0070] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the outer peripheral surface of the bottle body 110 is provided with a protrusion 113. The mounting groove 210 includes an upper groove section 211 and a lower groove section 212 that are connected. The inner diameter of the upper groove section 211 is larger than the inner diameter of the lower groove section 212. The snap-fit groove 220 is located on the inner wall of the upper groove section 211. The inner diameter of the lower groove section 212 is adapted to the outer diameter of the bottle body 110. The inner wall of the lower groove section 212 is provided with a guide groove 2121 extending downward from the top. The protrusion 113 can slide into the guide groove 2121.
[0071] Specifically, the connection between the upper groove section 211 and the lower groove section 212 forms a connecting surface, and the guide groove 2121 extends downward from the connecting surface so that the top surface of the guide groove 2121 and the side facing the center of the mounting groove 210 both form openings. When assembling the filter bottle 100, the protrusion 113 on the filter bottle 100 is aligned with the guide groove 2121, and the filter bottle 100 is placed downward, so that the protrusion 113 enters the guide groove 2121 from the top of the guide groove 2121, thereby playing a guiding role in the installation.
[0072] In addition, the protrusion 113, in conjunction with the guide groove 2121, can restrict the filter bottle 100 from rotating or shaking within the mounting groove 210, thereby improving the stability of the filter bottle 100 after installation.
[0073] In this embodiment, the bottle body 110 is vertically inserted into the mounting groove 210 to ensure that the protrusion 113 cooperates with the guide groove 2121. The cap 120 needs to be fixed to the middle frame 200 by rotation. In order to avoid interference between the cap 120 and the bottle body 110 during assembly, the cap 120 and the filter bottle 100 are detachably connected and can rotate relative to each other. When assembling the filter bottle 100, align the protrusion 113 on the bottle body 110 with the guide groove 2121, and align the snap-fit part 122 on the cap 120 with the sliding section 221. Then, move the filter bottle 100 downwards so that it is inserted into the mounting groove 210. After the bottle body 110 is in place, the protrusion 113 can abut against the bottom surface of the guide groove 2121, and the snap-fit part 122 enters the bottom of the sliding section 221. Rotate the cap 120, and the bottle body 110 will stop under the action of the protrusion 113 and the guide groove 2121. The snap-fit part 122 on the cap 120 will move from the sliding section 221 into the snap-fit section 222, preventing the filter bottle 100 from coming out of the mounting groove 210, thus completing the assembly of the filter bottle 100.
[0074] To achieve axial fixation of the bottle body 110 and the cap 120 while allowing relative rotation, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, a boss 111 is provided on the top of the bottle body 110, and a groove 112 extending circumferentially is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the boss 111. An inlet notch is provided on the top edge of the boss 111, and the inlet notch communicates with the groove 112. A limiting part 124 is also provided on the cap body 121. The limiting part 124 can enter the groove 112 through the inlet notch and can slide along the groove 112. Through the cooperation of the groove 112 and the limiting part 124, the bottle body 110 and the cap 120 can be constrained to move relative to each other in the axial direction. The limiting part 124 can slide along the groove 112, so that the cap 120 can rotate relative to the bottle body 110 to meet the disassembly and assembly requirements of the filter bottle 100.
[0075] In this embodiment, a central groove is provided on the bottom surface of the capping body 121. The central groove is used to avoid the protrusion 111 on the bottle body 110. The limiting part 124 is provided on the inner wall of the central groove so as to facilitate the engagement of the slot 112.
[0076] Optionally, at least two limiting parts 124 may be provided, and the at least two limiting parts 124 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the central groove to improve the connection effect between the cap 120 and the bottle body 110.
[0077] In this embodiment, the snap-fit portion 122 is parallel to the cross-section of the cap body 121. That is, the snap-fit portion 122 extends in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cap 120. During the process of fixing the cap 120 to the middle frame 200, the cap 120 rotates in a planar manner without any displacement in the axial direction. The cap 120 rotates relative to the bottle body 110 after the bottle body 110 is inserted into place, thus completing the assembly.
[0078] In other embodiments, the snap-fit portion 122 extends obliquely towards the bottle body 110 along the direction in which it is screwed into the snap-fit groove 220. Correspondingly, the snap-fit groove 220 extends obliquely towards its bottom end along its axial direction in the direction from the sliding section 221 to the snap-fit section 222. With this arrangement, during the process of inserting the bottle body 110 into the mounting groove 210, rotating the cap 120 causes the cap 120 to move towards the bottom of the mounting groove 210 along with the bottle body 110 as it rotates relative to the bottle body 110. In other words, the cap 120 performs a combined motion of planar rotation and linear movement.
[0079] To illustrate the effect of the filtration mechanism in this embodiment on reducing the axial spacing between adjacent filter bottles, a comparative example is used, where the top diameter of the existing capping body is larger than the bottom diameter and the snap-fit part is located at the bottom of the capping body. The axial spacing between adjacent filter bottles in the comparative example and the axial spacing between adjacent filter bottles using the structure in this embodiment are listed below for two different filter bottle models:
[0080] When using filter bottles with a flow rate of 1200G, the outer diameter of the bottle body is 115mm, the outer diameter of the protruding part on the bottle body is 123mm, and the outer diameter of the cap is 133mm. In the comparative example, the outer diameter of the cap is the outer diameter of the top of the cap, and the axial distance between two adjacent filter bottles on the middle frame is 138mm. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the cap is the outer diameter of the snap-fit part, and the axial distance between two adjacent filter bottles on the middle frame is 128mm.
[0081] When using filter bottles with a flow rate of 400G, the outer diameter of the bottle body is 88mm, the outer diameter of the protruding part on the bottle body is 96mm, and the outer diameter of the cap is 106mm. In the comparative example, the outer diameter of the cap is the outer diameter of the top of the cap, and the axial distance between two adjacent filter bottles on the middle frame is 111mm. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the cap is the outer diameter of the snap-fit part, and the axial distance between two adjacent filter bottles on the middle frame is 101mm.
[0082] The cap structure provided in this embodiment can reduce the axial distance between the two filter bottles, thereby reducing the overall size of the machine. At the same time, by sharing a smaller axial distance, the caps used for filter bottles in the 400G-1200G flux range and the overall appearance of the machine can be standardized. For example, a 128mm axial distance can be used to standardize the use of a single set of caps and the overall appearance of the machine for filter bottles in the 400G-1200G flux range.
[0083] The assembly process of the above-mentioned filter mechanism is as follows:
[0084] Align the protrusion 113 with the guide groove 2121, and insert the bottle body 110 into the mounting groove 210; during this process, hold the screw-on part 123 to rotate the cap 120, adjust the position of the locking part 122 on the cap 120, so that the locking part 122 can slide into the sliding section 221 of the locking groove 220. At this time, as Figure 1 As shown in the lower filter bottle 100, the screw part 123 extends approximately horizontally, that is, the screw part 123 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two mounting slots 210.
[0085] After the bottle body 110 is inserted into the mounting groove 210, the pressure cap 120 is rotated by the screwing part 123, causing the locking part 122 to slide from the sliding section 221 into the locking section 222, thus fixing the filter bottle 100 and the middle frame 200. At this time, the screwing part 123 is rotated to a vertical position, and the screwing part 123 extends along the arrangement direction of the two mounting grooves 210.
