[0018] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the regulating valve assembly of this utility model. [Detailed Implementation]

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-best," etc., in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "preferred" or "second-best" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a water purifier regulating valve assembly includes a housing 1, within which a second filter assembly 2 for sterilization and disinfection is sequentially connected, and a third filter assembly 3 for intercepting organic matter, heavy metals, minerals, and trace elements in the water and generating wastewater for discharge. A regulating valve assembly 4 is connected between the outlet end of the second filter assembly 2 and the filtered water outlet end of the third filter assembly 3. The regulating valve assembly mixes the filtered water, which retains its own minerals and trace elements after filtration by the second filter assembly, with the filtered water, which does not retain its own minerals and trace elements after filtration by the third filter assembly, so that the filtered water consumed by the user retains the minerals and trace elements naturally present in the local area. At the same time, the regulating valve assembly can adjust the content of the minerals and trace elements naturally present in the local area in the filtered water.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the regulating valve assembly 4 includes a valve body 41 connected to the outlet of the second filter assembly 2 and the outlet of the third filter assembly 3. Inside the valve body 41 is a valve core 42, one end of which extends out of the valve body 41 and can move within the valve body 41 by rotation to adjust the water flow rate. A knob 43 is connected to the protruding end of the valve core 42 on the top surface of the outer casing 1. In actual use, rotating the knob 43 on the top surface of the outer casing 1 moves the valve core 42 within the valve body 41, adjusting the output flow rate of the valve body 41. This changes the flow rate of the filtered water from the second filter assembly to the third filter assembly, thus regulating the retention of minerals and trace elements naturally present in the filtered water. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a housing groove 11 is provided on the top surface of the housing 1, and a knob 43 is set in the housing groove 11. The protruding end of the valve core 42 passes through the bottom surface of the housing groove 11 and is connected to the knob 43.

The upper side of the outer casing connecting protrusion 12 is provided with an outer casing positioning groove 13. The bottom of the valve body mounting seat 5 is provided with a mounting seat positioning protrusion 51 that cooperates with the outer casing positioning groove 13, so that the valve body mounting seat 5 together with the valve body 41 is positioned and installed on the outer casing 1. The inner side of the outer casing 1 is provided with a connecting post 14 near the outer casing connecting protrusion 12. The top surface of the connecting post 14 is provided with a connecting post threaded hole 15. The valve body mounting seat 5 is provided with a mounting seat through hole 52 corresponding to the connecting post threaded hole 15. The mounting seat through hole 52 is provided with a screw 6 that is threadedly connected to the connecting post threaded hole 15. The screw locks the valve body mounting seat 5 together with the valve body 41 onto the outer casing 1, and the knob 43 is accurately positioned and installed in the outer casing groove 11, ensuring that the top surface of the knob 43 and the top surface of the outer casing 1 form a plane.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom connection end of the valve body 41 is connected to the water outlet end of the second filter component 2, and the side connection end of the valve body 41 is connected to the filtered water outlet end of the third filter component 3. The bottom connection end of the three-way valve body and the protruding end of the valve core 42 extend from the top of the valve body 41, which facilitates the connection of water pipes and the accurate adjustment of the output flow of the valve body 41.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer casing 1 is provided with a first filter component 7 connected to the water inlet of the second filter component 2 for filtering impurities in the water, and at least one fourth filter component 8 can also be connected to the water outlet of the third filter component 3 for filtering impurities in the water.
