Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water purifiers, and specifically to a mounting bracket for a water purifier. Background Technology
[0002] Existing water purifiers include a filter module, a storage tank, and an instant heater. Tap water is filtered by the filter module and then flows into the storage tank. If the user needs purified water, the liquid in the storage tank is pumped through a water pump and a solenoid valve in the corresponding pipeline to deliver purified water. If the user needs hot water, the water pump delivers the liquid from the storage tank to the instant heater for heating, and then outputs hot water. However, the storage tank and instant heater in existing water purifiers are placed separately, resulting in a larger internal installation space and a larger overall size. For example, Chinese Patent No. ZL202322144251.4 discloses an integrated ice-making and water-purifying machine. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model proposes a mounting bracket for a water purifier. The bracket is installed on the water purifier's compartment. The upper part of the bracket is used to mount a water storage tank, the lower part is used to mount a water container, and the side of the bracket is used to mount a heating module. The upper, lower, and side parts of the bracket form the mounting space, allowing all three components to be installed with a single bracket. This compact structure eliminates the need for an excessively large water purifier compartment, effectively reducing the overall size of the water purifier, thereby lowering production costs and reducing the transportation space required for the water purifier.
[0004] A mounting bracket for a water purifier designed for this purpose includes a frame fixed to the water purifier housing. The frame includes a support plate, a connecting plate, and a supporting plate. A first mounting cavity for mounting a first component of the water purifier is formed between one side of the connecting plate and the support plate. A second mounting cavity for mounting a second component of the water purifier is formed between the other side of the connecting plate and the water purifier housing. A third mounting cavity for mounting a third component of the water purifier is formed between the supporting plate and the supporting plate. The first, second, and third mounting cavities are independently and spaced apart from each other.
[0005] The connecting plate extends upward along the upper part of the support plate, and the supporting plate extends downward along the lower part of the support plate, so that the first mounting cavity and the third mounting cavity are separated by the support plate and are arranged vertically.
[0006] The first component of the water purifier is a water storage tank, which is supported on the support plate of the frame and the tank body is limited between the inside of the water purifier compartment and the connecting plate.
[0007] The connecting plate is provided with mounting holes for fixing the second component of the water purifier, and the second component of the water purifier is fixed to the connecting plate through the mounting holes.
[0008] The second component of the water purifier is a heating module, which includes a mounting box and an instant heater. The mounting box is fixed on a connecting plate, and the instant heater is fixed on the mounting box.
[0009] The mounting box is provided with a first mounting block and a second mounting block for fixing the instant heater. Both the first mounting block and the second mounting block extend along the outside of the mounting box, and the instant heater is limited and installed between the first mounting block and the second mounting block. The mounting box is provided with a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the instant heater.
[0010] The first mounting block and / or the second mounting block are respectively provided with anti-rotation positioning parts between them and the instantaneous heater. The instantaneous heater is positioned on the corresponding mounting block by the anti-rotation positioning parts, and the first mounting block and the second mounting block form a disassembly and installation space for lateral disassembly and installation of the instantaneous heater.
[0011] The third component of the water purifier is a water pump. The water pump is equipped with a fixing frame that is fixed to the bottom plate of the water purifier compartment. The fixing frame has a groove for positioning the water pump body. There are two spaced support plates on the left and right sides of the support plate. The fixing frame and the water pump are limited between the two support plates.
[0012] One end of the support plate is bent to form an extension block that abuts against the bottom plate of the water purifier compartment.
[0013] The connecting plate extends vertically onto the support plate, and one end of the support plate that connects to the connecting plate protrudes outward from the support plate, so that a space for taking out and placing the third component of the water purifier is formed below the connecting plate.
[0014] The water purifier compartment is also equipped with a filter module for filtering liquids, an ice-making module for making ice and outputting ice cubes, and a refrigeration device for supplying cold air to the ice-making module; the refrigeration device is located on one side of the frame, the filter module is located on the other side of the frame, and the ice-making module is located above the refrigeration device.
[0015] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] By installing a mounting bracket on the water purifier's compartment, the upper part of the mounting bracket is used to install the water storage tank, the lower part is used to install the water container, and the side of the mounting bracket is used to install the heating module. The upper, lower, and side parts of the mounting bracket form the installation space, and the installation of three components can be accommodated by a single mounting bracket. The structure is compact, and the water purifier compartment does not need to be designed to be too large, which effectively reduces the overall volume of the water purifier, thereby reducing production costs and the transportation space occupied by the water purifier.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0024] See Figures 1-5 A mounting bracket for a water purifier includes a frame 2 fixed to the water purifier housing 1. The frame 2 includes a support plate 3, a connecting plate 4, and a support plate 5. A first mounting cavity 6 for mounting a first component of the water purifier is formed between one side of the connecting plate 4 and the support plate 3. A second mounting cavity for mounting a second component of the water purifier is formed between the other side of the connecting plate 4 and the water purifier housing 1. A third mounting cavity 7 for mounting a third component of the water purifier is formed between the support plate 5 and the support plate 3. The first mounting cavity 6, the second mounting cavity, and the third mounting cavity 7 are independently arranged at intervals.
[0025] By effectively utilizing the upper, lower, and side sections of the mounting bracket to form independent and non-interfering mounting cavities, the previous installation layout of separating the water storage tank and the instantaneous heater is eliminated. The water storage tank 8 and the heating module 13 are separated only by a connecting plate 4, ensuring that the water storage tank 8 and the heating module 13 do not interfere with each other and facilitating pipe connections. The water outlet of the water storage tank 8 is connected to the water inlet of the heating module 13.
[0026] The connecting plate 4 extends upward along the upper part of the support plate 3, and the support plate 5 extends downward along the lower part of the support plate 3, so that the first mounting cavity 6 and the third mounting cavity 7 are separated by the support plate 3 and are arranged vertically.
[0027] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 4 and the support plate 5 extend in different directions, effectively increasing the mechanical strength of the mounting bracket and making the mounting bracket structure more stable. The support plate 5 supports the support plate 3, improving the support strength of the support plate 3, and also utilizes the space between the support plate 5 and the support plate 3 to form a third mounting cavity 7, effectively utilizing the internal space of the mounting bracket.
[0028] The first component of the water purifier is a water storage tank 8, which is supported on the support plate 3 of the frame 2. The tank body of the water storage tank 8 is limited between the inner side of the water purifier compartment 1 and the connecting plate 4.
[0029] The water storage tank 8 is positioned between the inside of the water purifier compartment 1 and the connecting plate 4 using the internal components of the water purifier compartment 1, thus achieving screwless assembly of the water storage tank 8.
[0030] Alternatively, the water storage tank 8 is provided with connecting lugs, and the support plate 3 is provided with screw holes. After the screws are inserted into the screw holes and connecting lugs, the screws, washers, and nuts cooperate to fix the water storage tank 8.
[0031] The connecting plate 4 is provided with an assembly hole 9 for fixing the second component of the water purifier. The second component of the water purifier is fixed to the connecting plate 4 through the assembly hole 9.
[0032] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 9 is a screw hole. The connecting plate 4 has four spaced screw holes.
[0033] The second component of the water purifier is a heating module 13, which includes a mounting box 10 and an instant heater 11. The mounting box 10 is fixed to the connecting plate 4, and the instant heater 11 is fixed to the mounting box 10. The instant heater 11 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] The mounting box 10 is provided with a first mounting block 21 and a second mounting block 14 for fixing the instant heater 11. The first mounting block 21 and the second mounting block 14 are both extended along the outside of the mounting box 10. The instant heater 11 is limited and installed between the first mounting block 21 and the second mounting block 14. The mounting box 10 is provided with a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the instant heater 11.
[0035] The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the instant heater 11, and can indirectly detect the liquid temperature.
[0036] The first mounting block 21 and / or the second mounting block 14 are respectively provided with anti-rotation positioning parts 15 between them and the instant heater 11. The instant heater 11 is positioned on the corresponding mounting block by the anti-rotation positioning parts 15, and the first mounting block 21 and the second mounting block 14 form a disassembly and installation space for horizontal disassembly and installation of the instant heater 11.
[0037] In this embodiment, the anti-rotation positioning part 15 includes a positioning protrusion disposed on the mounting block and a positioning groove disposed on the housing of the instant heater 11. When the instant heater 11 is horizontally installed between the first mounting block 21 and the second mounting block 14, the positioning protrusion is positioned on the positioning groove so that the instant heater 11 is positioned front and back between the first mounting block 21 and the second mounting block 14, and the instant heater 11 is vertically limited between the first mounting block 21 and the second mounting block 14.
[0038] One side of the instant heater 11 is limited on the mounting box 10, and the other side of the instant heater 11 is limited on the inside of the water purifier compartment 1, so that the instant heater 11 is limited to the left and right sides between the mounting box 10 and the inside of the water purifier compartment 1, thus enabling the instant heater 11 to be installed and fixed without screws.
[0039] The third component of the water purifier is a water pump 16. The water pump 16 is provided with a fixing frame 17 fixed on the bottom plate of the water purifier compartment 1. The fixing frame 17 is provided with a groove for positioning the pump body of the water pump 16. The support plate 3 is provided with two spaced support plates 5 on the left and right sides. The fixing frame 17 and the water pump 16 are limited between the two support plates 5.
[0040] In this embodiment, the water pump 16 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 17 by clamps. The clamps are arc-shaped, with both ends fixed to the mounting bracket 17, and the pump body of the water pump 16 is fixed between the clamps and the mounting bracket 17. The mounting bracket 17 is provided with grooves for positioning the pump body of the water pump 16, which can prevent the water pump 16 from easily rolling on the mounting bracket 17. The grooves are arc-shaped.
[0041] One end of the support plate 5 is bent to form an extension block 18 that abuts against the bottom plate of the water purifier compartment 1.
[0042] In this embodiment, the extension block 18 is fixed to the bottom plate of the water purifier compartment 1 by screws.
[0043] The connecting plate 4 extends vertically on the support plate 3. One end of the support plate 3 that is connected to the connecting plate 4 protrudes outward from the support plate 5, so that a space for taking out and placing the third component of the water purifier is formed below the connecting plate 4.
[0044] In this embodiment, the side of the connecting plate 4 is used to install the heating module 13. When the heating module 13 needs to be repaired, it can be removed from below the connecting plate 4. Moreover, the heating module 13 is located above the water pump 16, and there is a gap between the heating module 13 and the water pump 16 to allow the heating module 13 to be installed and removed downwards.
[0045] In this embodiment, the mounting box 10 of the heating module 13 is fixed to the connecting plate 4 by screws.
[0046] The water purifier compartment 1 is also equipped with a filter module 19 for filtering liquids, an ice-making module 20 for making ice and outputting ice cubes, and a refrigeration device for providing cold air to the ice-making module 20; the refrigeration device is located on one side of the frame 2, the filter module 19 is located on the other side of the frame 2, and the ice-making module 20 is located above the refrigeration device.
[0047] In this embodiment, the ice-making module 20 includes an ice-making chamber and a screw conveying mechanism disposed on the ice-making chamber. The refrigeration device includes a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. The pipe connection between the compressor, the condenser and the evaporator forms a closed loop for the refrigerant circulation.
