[0038] Solenoid valves and electric valves are core components of water purification equipment. They are used to control the flow of water in the water system of the equipment, including its on / off state and direction. In recent years, water purification equipment has been developing towards multi-functionality and integration, which has made the internal water system of the equipment increasingly complex. This has resulted in a cluttered arrangement of solenoid valves and electric valves in the water purifier, making installation more difficult and maintenance and replacement more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0039] Therefore, this embodiment provides a water purifier 100. The water purifier 100 can improve the installation efficiency of the water purifier 100.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 A water purifier 100, comprising:

[0041] Valve body 10, the valve body 10 includes: a first inlet 11, a second inlet 12, a first outlet 13, and a second outlet 14; the first inlet 11 is connected to the first outlet 13; the second inlet 12 is connected to the second outlet 14; the second inlet 12 is arranged perpendicular to the second outlet 14;

[0042] A connecting valve 20 is provided, comprising: a first connecting valve inlet 21, a first connecting valve outlet 22, and a second connecting valve outlet 23; the second connecting valve outlet 23 is perpendicular to the first connecting valve outlet 22 or the first connecting valve outlet 22; the first connecting valve inlet 21 is connected to the first outlet 13.

[0043] The aforementioned water purifier 100 includes a valve body 10 and a connecting valve 20. The valve body 10 and the connecting valve 20 are connected together, forming a whole. The valve body 10 can connect the water circuits of each device through a flexible hose, which can effectively optimize the internal space occupied by the water purifier and make the water purifier easier to maintain, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the water purifier 100 and improving the maintenance efficiency of the water purifier 100.

[0044] As is understandable, the valve body 10 is connected to the connecting valve 20, meaning that water flowing from the valve body 10 can flow into the connecting valve 20; wherein, the first inlet 11 and the first outlet 13 are connected, and the pipeline on the water purifier 100 is connected to the first inlet 11.

[0045] The inlet 21 and outlet 22 of the first connecting valve and the outlet 23 of the second connecting valve are connected. After the water enters the inlet 21 of the first connecting valve, it can be divided into two paths. One path is discharged through the outlet 22 of the first connecting valve, and the other path is discharged through the outlet 23 of the second connecting valve. This can achieve diversion and multiple outlets. The second inlet 12 and the second outlet 14 are connected. The municipal water enters the second outlet 14 through the drain pipe 62 and is discharged through the second inlet 12. After purification, it enters the water system through the first inlet 11.

[0046] Understandably, the inlet 21 of the first connecting valve is connected to the outlet 13. When water flows into the first connecting valve 20, the first connecting valve 20 divides the water flow into two paths. One path is discharged through the outlet 22 of the first connecting valve, and the other path is discharged through the outlet 23 of the second connecting valve. This allows the water purifier to utilize the water flow in the water purifier 100 in multiple ways to achieve multiple functions.

[0047] Optionally, the valve body 10 and the connecting valve 20 can both be solenoid valves or other valves.

[0048] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the water purifier 100 further includes: a booster pump 30 and a filter element 31;

[0049] The booster pump 30 is connected to the filter element 31, and the filter element 31 has a filter element inlet 311, a first filter element outlet 312, and a second filter element outlet 313.

[0050] The first inlet 11 is connected to the first filter element outlet 312, the second inlet 12 is connected to the filter element inlet 311, and the second filter element outlet 313 is used to discharge the wastewater in the filter element 31.

[0051] Understandably, the booster pump 30 is used to pressurize the water flow that has not entered the filter element 31, so that the water flow can pass through the filter element 31 for purification and then flow out of the filter element 31. This is because the filter element 31 is equipped with an RO (Reverse Osmosis) membrane. The water pressure of the water flow itself may not be sufficient to make the water flow through the RO filter element. In order to make the water flow pass through the RO filter element smoothly, the booster pump 30 is set to pressurize the water flow so that the water flow can pass through the RO filter element, thereby ensuring the purification efficiency of the filter element 31.

[0052] Understandably, filter element 31 has a filter element inlet 311, a first filter element outlet 312, and a second filter element outlet 313, wherein,

[0053] Municipal water is connected to the second outlet 14. Water flows in from the second outlet 14 and is discharged from the second inlet 12 before entering the booster pump. After being filtered by the filter element 31, pure water is discharged from the first filter element outlet 312. The filter element inlet 311 is connected to the booster pump 30, which is used to provide pressurized municipal water to the filter element 31. The filter element 31 also includes a first filter element outlet 312 and a second filter element outlet 313. The first filter element outlet 312 is used to discharge pure water and is connected to the first inlet 11 to provide pure water to the valve body 10 and the connecting valve 20.

[0054] The second filter outlet 313 is used to discharge wastewater from the filter element 31. The second filter outlet 313 can be connected to the municipal drainage pipeline to discharge wastewater. It is also connected to the second inlet 12. After the water flows into the second inlet 12, it is discharged through the second outlet 14 and then flows back into the filter element 31 for filtration, so as to reduce the waste of water resources.

[0055] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, a heating tank 40 is also included;

[0056] The heating tank 40 has an inlet water passage 41 and an outlet water passage 42; the outlet water passage 42 is located at the bottom of the heating tank 40, the inlet water passage 41 is located at the top of the heating tank 40, and the inlet water passage 41 of the heating tube is connected to the outlet 22 of the first connecting valve.

[0057] Understandably, the heating tank 40 has an inlet water passage 41 and an outlet water passage 42. The inlet water passage 41 is located at the top of the heating tank 40 and is connected to the outlet 22 of the first connecting valve, so that pure water can be input into the heating tank 40.

[0058] When water flows into the heating tank 40, the heating tank 40 starts to heat the pure water in the heating tank 40 and heats the water to the preset temperature (the preset temperature can be 40° to 90°, which the user can set according to the actual situation). When the user needs to use hot water, it can be delivered to the water-using equipment through the water outlet 42 of the heating tank 40.

[0059] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, it includes: housing 50 and fastener 60;

[0060] The fixing member 60 is fixedly installed inside the housing 50. The fixing member 60 has multiple slots 61 along its length. Multiple drain pipes 62 are installed in the slots 61. The drain pipes can be connected to the second water outlet 14 to provide municipal water to the filter element 31.

[0061] Understandably, the fixing member 60 is fixedly installed in the housing 50. Multiple slots 61 are provided on the fixing member 60, arranged along its length. The number of slots 61 can be determined according to the number of connectors. The slots 61 restrict the movement of the drain pipe 62, allowing the pipe to connect smoothly to the connectors, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the water purifier 100 during installation. The drain pipe 62 has a first connection port and a second connection port. The first connection port is used to connect to the municipal pipeline, and the second connection port is connected to the second outlet 14.

[0062] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the limiting member 63;

[0063] The limiting member 63 is detachably connected to the fixing member 60. The limiting member 63 is provided with a fixing groove 64 that is adapted to the slot 61. The fixing groove 64 and the slot 61 surround each other to form a limiting part 65. The limiting part 65 is used to fix the drain pipe 62.

[0064] Understandably, the limiting member 63 is detachably connected to the fixing member 60, and a fixing groove 64 adapted to the fixing member 60 is provided on the limiting member 63. After the fixing groove 64 and the slot 61 are engaged, a limiting part 65 is formed. The limiting part 65 is used to fix the water pipe. Specifically, during installation, the pipe is first fixed into the slot 61, and then the limiting member 63 is installed onto the fixing member 60. Since the fixing groove 64 on the fixing member 60 corresponds to the slot 61, when the limiting member 63 is installed onto the fixing member 60, the fixing groove 64 and the slot 61 can surround and form the limiting part 65. The limiting part 65 can better limit the pipe, so as to lock the pipe and prevent the pipe from moving, thereby achieving the fixation and limiting of the pipe.

[0065] Please see Figure 1 In some implementations, it also includes: a flow sensor 70;

[0066] The flow sensor 70 is located at the connection between the valve body 10 and the connecting valve 20.

[0067] Understandably, the flow sensor 70 is used to detect the flow rate of water flowing from the first outlet 13 into the first connecting valve 20. The flow rate entering the first connecting valve 20 is the flow rate of purified water from the filter element 31. Therefore, the service life of the filter element 31 can be determined based on the flow sensor 70. When the filter element 31 has purified a preset amount of water, it can remind the user to replace the filter element 31. At the same time, the flow meter can also detect the current amount of purified water from the filter element 31.

[0068] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the housing 50 includes: a first baffle 51, a second baffle 52, and a third baffle 53;

[0069] The first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52 are spaced apart within the housing 50 along a first direction, and the third baffle 53 is disposed within the housing 50 along a direction perpendicular to the first baffle 51 and / or the second baffle 52.

[0070] Understandably, the housing 50 is provided with a first baffle 51, a second baffle 52, and a third baffle 53. The third baffle 53 is disposed in the housing 50 along a second direction (the thickness direction of the third baffle 53), dividing the housing 50 into upper and lower parts. The first baffle 51 and the second baffle 52 are disposed at intervals along a first direction (i.e., the length direction of the housing 50) in the upper part of the housing 50, dividing the upper part into three accommodating cavities. That is, the lower part of the housing 50 has one accommodating cavity, and the upper part of the housing 50 includes three accommodating cavities.

[0071] Please see Figure 6In some embodiments, the first baffle 51 and the side wall of the housing 50 form a first receiving cavity 54, and the second baffle 52 and the side wall of the housing 50 form a second receiving cavity 55; an installation cavity 57 is provided on the side of the housing 50 away from the second receiving cavity 55.

[0072] The filter element 31 is disposed in the mounting cavity 57, the booster pump 30 is disposed in the first accommodating cavity 54, and the heating tank 40 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 55.

[0073] Understandably, the first baffle 51 and the side wall of the housing 50 enclose a first receiving cavity 54, the second baffle 52 and the side wall of the housing 50 enclose a second receiving cavity 55, and the housing 50 is provided with an installation cavity 57 in the part away from the second receiving cavity 55.

[0074] The installation cavity 57 is used to install the filter element 31, the first accommodating cavity 54 is used to install the booster pump 30, and the second accommodating cavity 55 is used to install the heating tank 40. The installation cavity 57, the first accommodating cavity 54, and the second accommodating cavity 55 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. This arrangement can separate the heating tank and the filter element 31. This is because the heating tank 40 generates a large amount of heat when heating the filtered water, and the properties of the active substances in the filter element 31 will change under high temperature conditions, which will affect the service life of the filter element 31. Separating the heating tank 40 and the filter element 31 can significantly reduce the impact of the high temperature generated by the heating tank 40 on the filter element 31, so as to ensure the service life and normal use of the filter element 31.

[0075] The mounting cavity 57 is semi-enclosed, with openings at the top and on the side away from the heating tank 40, facilitating the installation and removal of the filter element 31. The location of the mounting cavity 57 on the side away from the heating tank 40 also insulates it from the heat generated by the heating tank 40, preventing the heat from affecting the filter element 31 and causing deterioration of the filter material, thus affecting its normal use.

[0076] Please see Figure 6 In some embodiments, the third baffle 53 and the bottom wall of the housing 50 form a third accommodating cavity 56, and the valve body 10, the connecting valve 20, and the fixing member 60 are all disposed in the third accommodating cavity 56.

[0077] Understandably, the third baffle 53 and the side wall of the housing 50 enclose the third accommodating cavity 56, which is an accommodating cavity that runs through the entire length of the housing 50. The valve body 10, the connecting valve 20, and the fixing member 60 are all located at the bottom of the housing 50, which facilitates the installation of the water circuit. Furthermore, since the water circuit of the water purifier 100 is complex, placing the valve body 10, the connecting valve 20, and the fixing member 60 in the housing 50 also facilitates the connection and installation of the water circuit.

[0078] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the water purifier 100 further includes: a one-way valve 44; the top of the heating tank 40 is provided with an exhaust port 43, and the exhaust port 43 is provided with a one-way valve 44.

[0079] Understandably, the top of the heating tank 40 is equipped with an exhaust port 43. When heating the water in the heating tank 40, water vapor is generated, which increases the amount of water vapor inside the heating tank 40, thereby increasing the air pressure inside the heating tank 40. The exhaust port 43 is used to discharge the water vapor inside the heating tank 40. The exhaust port 43 is located at the top of the heating tank 40 to ensure that the water vapor can be discharged smoothly outside the heating tank 40 without affecting the storage of hot water in the heating tank 40. A one-way valve 44 is installed at the exhaust port 43. The one-way valve 44 can be a safety valve or a one-way safety valve. When the pressure inside the heating tank 40 exceeds a preset value, the valve core of the one-way valve 44 is pushed up by the air pressure, that is, the one-way valve 44 is opened, thus realizing the discharge of water vapor inside the heating tank 40.

[0080] It should be noted that municipal water enters the water purifier 100 through the drain pipe 62 and flows into the second inlet 12. Then, it enters the booster pump 30 and the filter element 31 through the second outlet 14. The purified water is discharged from the filter element through the first filter element outlet 312 and the second filter element outlet 313. The first filter element outlet 312 is connected to the first inlet 11 to provide hot water to the heating tank 40 in the water purifier, and the second filter element outlet 313 is used to discharge the wastewater in the filter element 31.
