Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine technology, specifically a track-type reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine with a flip-up front panel. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of reverse osmosis water purifiers, most currently available models use a screw-fixed, openable rear cover. Since reverse osmosis water purifiers are mostly wall-mounted, this design requires moving the machine for filter replacement and maintenance. Replacing filters and performing maintenance on the back of a reverse osmosis water purifier with multiple inlet and outlet pipes is inconvenient. Reverse osmosis water purifiers with openable front panels use a manual pull-out design. In larger reverse osmosis water purifiers, the heavy front panel is particularly difficult to remove, requiring significant manpower and time. Another option, a small door opening from the center of the front panel, would affect the overall appearance of the reverse osmosis water purifier. Furthermore, the traditional front panel flip structure, which mainly uses a pin mechanism, is prone to structural interference due to its relatively fixed center position under different overall machine structures and installation environments. Moreover, this structure lacks flexibility in controlling the front panel flip angle. Generally, its flip angle lacks a fixing device and cannot be adjusted according to actual needs. This may not meet the operational requirements during filter replacement and equipment maintenance. Excessive opening and closing angles may cause collisions, resulting in scratches on the product's appearance and affecting the normal use and maintenance of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a track-mounted, flip-up front panel reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a track-type front panel flip-up reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine, including a reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine body, a panel is hinged to the front of the reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine body, a telescopic support component and a retainer are connected together between the reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine body and the panel, both ends of the telescopic support component are rotatably connected to the reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine body and the panel, one end of the retainer is fixedly connected to the panel, and the other end can slide relative to the reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine body.

[0005] Furthermore, the telescopic support component has a damping function and can be any one of a gas spring, a hydraulic rod, or a pneumatic rod.

[0006] Furthermore, a lower seat is installed on the inner side of the reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine body, an upper seat is installed on the inner side of the panel, the telescopic end of the telescopic support component is rotatably connected to the lower seat, and the non-telescopic end of the telescopic support component is rotatably connected to the upper seat.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine body is symmetrically equipped with self-locking switches, which can lock the panel with the self-locking switches when it is closed.

[0008] Furthermore, the retainer has an arc-shaped structure, and the interior of the retainer has guide slots that are also arc-shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, a screw is installed on the inner side of the reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine body. The screw is inserted into the guide groove, and a bearing and a limiting washer are respectively sleeved on the outside of the screw. The bearing rolls inside the guide groove, and a nut is connected to the end of the screw. The retainer and the limiting washer can slide relative to each other.

[0010] Furthermore, bearing washers are provided between the screw and the bearing, and between the bearing and the limiting washer.

[0011] This utility model provides a track-mounted, flip-up front panel reverse osmosis direct drinking water machine. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0012] This reverse osmosis water purifier avoids the traditional pin-type fixed-center flip structure. Instead, it uses a track-type flip structure, allowing for flexible adjustment of the center position and raising the height of the front panel after flipping. Compared to the traditional pin-type flip structure, this avoids structural interference that may occur when flipping at a fixed center. It uses hydraulic, pneumatic, or spring-powered support rods as the main power source for the front panel's flipping, avoiding the difficulty of disassembling and assembling large reverse osmosis water purifiers due to the weight of the front panel. Furthermore, the front panel can be limited by changing the length of the arc-shaped slide rail, controlling the maximum flipping angle. A hidden self-locking switch ensures the integrity of the overall appearance. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a track-type reverse osmosis water purifier with a flip-up front panel, comprising a reverse osmosis water purifier body 1, a panel 2, a telescopic support component 3, a retainer 4, and a self-locking switch 5. The specific structure and working principle of the reverse osmosis water purifier body 1 are existing known technologies and will not be detailed here. The telescopic support component 3 has a damping function and can be any one of a gas spring, hydraulic rod, or pneumatic rod, with its two ends rotatably connected to the reverse osmosis water purifier body 1 and the panel 2, respectively. When the panel 2 needs to be opened, the user only needs to apply a light force, and the gas spring will slowly unfold under the damping force, allowing the panel 2 to flip smoothly. Similarly, when closing the panel 2, the gas spring will also provide appropriate damping force to ensure that the panel 2 can close smoothly and slowly. A lower seat 101 is installed inside the reverse osmosis water purifier body 1, and an upper seat 201 is installed inside the panel 2. The telescopic end of the telescopic support component 3 is rotatably connected to the lower seat 101, and the non-telescopic end is rotatably connected to the upper seat 201. This design allows the telescopic support component 3 to stably support the panel 2 and allows it to be flipped over;

[0020] The retainer 4 is designed with an arc-shaped structure, and its interior has a guide slot 401 with an arc-shaped structure. This design allows the retainer 4 to slide along a specific trajectory, thereby ensuring the stability of the panel 2 during the flipping process;

[0021] Screws 6 are also installed inside the main body 1 of the reverse osmosis water purifier, and the screws 6 are inserted into the guide slot 401. In order to reduce friction and improve sliding efficiency, bearings 8 and limiting washers 9 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the screws 6. The bearings 8 roll inside the guide slot 401, thereby realizing the relative sliding between the retainer 4 and the main body 1 of the reverse osmosis water purifier. At the same time, the limiting washers 9 are used to limit the sliding range of the retainer 4 and prevent it from falling off the track;

[0022] A nut 10 is attached to the end of the screw 6 to secure the bearing 8 and the limiting washer 9. Furthermore, bearing washers 7 are provided between the screw 6 and the bearing 8, and between the bearing 8 and the limiting washer 9, to further reduce friction and improve the durability of the components.

[0023] When panel 2 is closed, it engages with self-locking switch 5 (self-locking switch 5 uses existing technology; its specific structure and principle will not be detailed here), thus ensuring the stability of panel 2 in the closed state. When the user needs to open panel 2, simply press the unlock button on self-locking switch 5 to easily release panel 2.
