Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purification equipment installation technology, specifically to a side-insertion filter cartridge installation structure and a water purification system. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, water purifier filter cartridges generally adopt the direct insertion type. The direct insertion type of filter cartridge means that the filter cartridge body is directly and vertically inserted into the water circuit board. Although this connection method allows the water to flow directly between the filter cartridge and the water circuit board without turning, and the water flow turbulence is less, this connection method has some drawbacks: (1) The filter cartridge body and the water circuit board are connected at a right angle. In the actual structure, since most filter cartridges are placed vertically, the water circuit board is also placed vertically, making the shape of the entire water purifier cuboid, which is not conducive to the diversified design of the water purifier shell; (2) The filter cartridges have a service life of several months. After the filter cartridge reaches the end of its service life, it needs to be replaced. The bottom of the filter cartridge body with this connection method will generally abut against the shell of the water purifier, making it more difficult to replace the filter cartridge.

[0026] The filter bottle mounting position 10 uses a side-insertion filter element mounting structure to meet the side-insertion installation application of the filter element, and has the characteristics of simple and efficient installation and disassembly, and stable installation effect.

[0027] Specifically, the filter bottle structure 2 includes a bottle body 201 with an upper opening. An installation end cap 202 is provided on the upper side of the bottle body 201. The installation end cap 202 includes a cap base 203 that mates with the bottle body 201. A positioning part 204 extends from the center of the upper side of the cap base 203. The insertion tube 23 extends horizontally from the outer periphery of the positioning part 204. The positioning part 204 is provided with abutting blocks 21 on both sides of the insertion tube 23 along the extension direction and close to one side of the insertion tube 23. A second fastening component 22 is provided on the positioning part 204. The second fastening component 22 includes a snap-fit ​​member 221 at the other end corresponding to the position of the insertion tube 23.

[0028] The upper end of the frame 1 is rotatably connected to the flip-up connecting part 11, and the flip-up connecting part 11 is integrally fitted with the mounting end cover 202.

[0029] The flip-connecting part 11 includes a U-shaped connecting handle 111. A lifting handle 114 is provided on the outer side of the lateral extension of the connecting handle 111. The inner side of the connecting handle 111 is adapted to the outer peripheral shape of the positioning part 204. Rotating shafts 112 are provided at the bottom ends of the vertical extensions on both sides of the connecting handle 111 facing outward. Rotating connecting holes are provided on both sides of the frame 1 corresponding to the rotating shafts 112. The rotating shafts 112 pass through the connecting holes, so that the connecting handle 111 can be rotatably flipped and connected to the frame 1.

[0030] The connecting handle 111 is provided with two pushing blocks 110 on both sides below the rotating shaft 112 on both sides, and the pushing blocks 110 are in contact with the abutting block 21.

[0031] The connecting handle 111 is provided with a first fastening assembly 12; specifically, the lateral extension portion of the connecting handle 111 is provided with a guide groove 113 towards the inward side, the first fastening assembly 12 includes a fastening member 121 provided inward on the lateral extension portion of the connecting handle 111, the fastening member 121 is movably connected in the guide groove 113, the fastening position of the fastening member 121 is provided towards the inward side, and a pull handle 1211 is provided on the upper side of the fastening member 121; a spring member 122 is connected between the guide groove 113 and the end position of the fastening member 121.

The flip-connecting part 11 (connecting handle 111) is in the second working position at this time.

[0034] When the pull handle 1211 is turned and the fastener 121 is pushed toward the connecting handle 111, the fastener 121 and the latching member 221 are released and the latching relationship is unlocked. Then the lifting handle 114 can be turned and the connecting handle 111 is flipped upward and rotated relative to the frame 1 to the first working position (to the side of the mounting end cover 202). The pushing block 110 contacts and pushes the abutting block 21 as the connecting handle 111 flips. The pushing action of the pushing block 110 pushes the filter bottle structure 2 away from the frame 1 and pushes it out, so that the filter bottle structure 2 can be detached from the frame 1.

[0035] When the filter bottle structure 2 is installed in the filter bottle installation position 10, the insertion cylinder 23 is set corresponding to the water circuit board assembly 3; force is applied to push the filter bottle structure 2 against the frame 1, the abutment block 21 contacts and pushes the push block 110, the push block 110 is linked with the push action of the abutment block 21 to rotate the flip connection part 11 relative to the frame 1 to the second working position (relative to the side away from the mounting end cover 202), the fastening part 121 on the connecting handle 111 in the second working position is fastened to the locking part 221, the spring part 122 applies an elastic force to the fastening part 121 to the locking part 221, and the filter bottle structure 2 is stably installed on the frame 1.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, modifications can still be made to the embodiments without departing from the implementation principle of the present utility model, and the corresponding modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
