Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purifier technology, specifically to an external water tank water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] A water purifier, also known as a water filter or water purifier, is a water treatment device that performs deep filtration and purification of water according to the requirements for water use. Water purifiers can effectively filter out rust, sand, colloids, and adsorb residual chlorine, odors, discoloration, pesticides, and other chemical agents in the water. They can also effectively remove bacteria, germs, toxins, heavy metals, and other impurities from the water.

[0003] For example, the Chinese Utility Model Application provides "A Water Purifier with an External Water Tank" (Announcement No.: CN220360811U). This application includes a water purifier tank, which has multiple filter elements inside. The top of the water purifier tank has symmetrically arranged inlet pipes at the front and back. The right side of the inlet pipe is fixedly connected to a tap water valve. The bottom center of the water purifier tank has a fixedly connected outlet pipe. The bottom outer side of the outlet pipe is threaded with a drain valve. The bottom of the drain valve is fixedly connected to a drain pipe. The lower left side of the outlet pipe is fixedly connected to a water supply pipe. The middle of the water supply pipe has an inlet valve. The left end of the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to a water storage tank. By setting a bottom cover and a water valve at the bottom of the water purifier tank, residual water in the water purifier tank is diverted out through the outlet pipe, preventing it from being trapped in the filter elements for a long time, causing contamination and reducing the lifespan of the filter elements.

[0004] Although the water purifiers described above can store water through an external storage tank, the lack of an effective pressurized water supply structure in the tank means that when the tap water supply is interrupted, the purifier stops storing water in the tank. As a result, the water level in the tank continues to drop during water usage, leading to a decrease in water pressure and flow. This is especially noticeable when using external pipes to supply water to the living room or kitchen separately, where the increased pipe length causes significant changes in water pressure and flow, thus failing to meet the user's needs.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an external water purifier, including an external water tank 5. A water purifier body 1 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the front surface of the external water tank 5. A water purification pipe 6 is fixedly installed between the upper right side of the water purifier body 1 and the upper right side of the external water tank 5.

An L-shaped fixing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the left end of the bottom of the flow guide plate 9. A magnetic block 21 is fixedly connected to the middle end of the bottom of the L-shaped fixing plate 10. A crossbar 23 is movably connected to the middle of the right side of the L-shaped fixed plate 10. A movable plate 19 is fixedly connected to the left side of the crossbar 23. A magnetic switch 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable plate 19. The bottom of the magnetic switch 20 is movably connected to the surface of the L-shaped fixed plate 10. A receiving hole 16 is opened at the middle of the flow guide plate 9. A pressure plate 14 is movably connected to the upper end of the receiving hole 16. Support springs 17 are fixedly connected between the two ends of the bottom of the pressure plate 14 and the lower ends of both sides of the receiving hole 16. A guide frame 18 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the pressure plate 14. A guide groove 4 is opened at the lower end of the guide frame 18. A roller 24 is movably connected between the right end of the crossbar 23 and the upper end of the guide groove 4 through a bearing.

[0026] In this technical solution, the connection pipe 7 allows users to easily connect to the external pipes in the living room and kitchen during overall use, facilitating water access in either location. The design incorporates a pressure plate 14, support spring 17, receiving hole 16, guide frame 18, guide groove 4, roller 24, crossbar 23, moving plate 19, magnetic switch 20, and booster pump 13. This ensures effective pressurization and water supply when the water level inside the external water tank 5 is low, effectively preventing low water levels from affecting water pressure and flow, and improving the user experience.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown, a silicone sealing gasket 15 is fixedly connected around the pressure plate 14. The surface of the silicone sealing gasket 15 is movably connected to the upper end of the receiving hole 16. Support seats 11 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the inner cavity of the external water tank 5. The bottom of the water supply pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the support seat 11. A guide slide rod 22 is movably connected to the upper end of the moving plate 19. The right side of the guide slide rod 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the L-shaped fixing plate 10. A filter bottle 2 is fixedly installed on the right side of the water purifier body 1. A sealing cap is threadedly connected to the right side of the filter bottle 2. A display screen is fixedly installed on the upper end of the front surface of the water purifier body 1. Wall brackets 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of the back of the external water tank 5. Mounting holes are opened at both ends of the wall brackets 8. A storage rack 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the front surface of the external water tank 5. There are three storage racks 3. A rubber pad is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting pipe 7. The rubber pad is annular in shape.

[0029] In this technical solution, the silicone sealing gasket 15 effectively improves the sealing performance between the pressure plate 14 and the receiving hole 16. The support base 11 provides support and fixation for the water supply pipe 12. The guide slide rod 22 guides the moving plate 19, preventing it from tilting during movement. The sealing cover seals the right side of the filter bottle 2, facilitating easy replacement of the filter element inside the filter bottle 2 during long-term use. The wall-mounted bracket 8 and mounting holes facilitate wall-mounting of the external water tank 5. The hanging rack 3 allows for hanging personal belongings or cups. The rubber gasket effectively improves the sealing performance of the connection between the connecting pipe 7 and the external pipeline.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By setting the connecting pipe 7, it is convenient for users to connect to the external pipes in the living room and kitchen during overall use, allowing users to draw water from either the living room or kitchen. When the tap water supply is interrupted, causing the water purifier body 1 to stop storing water in the external water tank 5, the water level inside the external water tank 5 gradually decreases due to continuous water draw by the user. This reduces the water pressure on the top of the pressure plate 14. Furthermore, under the pre-compression tension of the support spring 17, the pressure plate 14 can move upwards along the surface of the receiving hole 16. The movement of the pressure plate 14 can move the guide frame 18 and the guide groove 4. Under the action of the guide groove 4, the roller 24 can move to the right along the inclined plane. The movement of the horizontal bar 23, the moving plate 19, and the magnetic switch 20 causes the magnetic switch 20 to contact the top of the magnetic block 21. Under the magnetic force of the magnetic block 21, the contacts inside the magnetic switch 20 are closed. During subsequent water extraction operations using the external switch, the magnetic switch 20 connects the circuit of the booster pump 13, allowing the booster pump 13 to quickly extract drinking water from the external water tank 5 and supply it to the user's water container through the water pipe 12, the connecting pipe 7, and the external pipeline. This effectively pressurizes and supplies water to the user when the water level in the external water tank 5 is low, effectively preventing the water pressure and flow rate from being affected by low water levels and improving the user experience.
