[0002] Water purification equipment refers to equipment used to purify water, mainly to remove impurities and harmful substances from water and provide clean drinking water. Water purification equipment usually adopts a variety of filtration technologies, including PP cotton, activated carbon, ultrafiltration membranes, and RO reverse osmosis membranes, to achieve different levels of purification effects. Water purification equipment is widely used in drinking water, chemical, medical, and aquaculture fields. The water filter element is the core component of the water purifier, and its main function is to filter impurities in the water to ensure that the water quality reaches a certain level of cleanliness. There are various types of filter elements, each with its specific function and applicable scenarios. With the continuous development of water purification equipment, various water purification components have emerged, such as a water tank for water purification equipment that facilitates filter element replacement.
[0003] Currently, water tanks for water purification equipment on the market mainly focus on improving filtration efficiency. Existing water tanks for water purification equipment generally consist of a tank body, water pipes, and a purifier. Water is transported through the water pipes to the purifier for purification and filtration before entering the tank body for storage. The purifier's filter cartridge needs to be replaced frequently. Currently, replacing the filter cartridge usually involves unscrewing the threaded outer shell and then removing the filter cartridge for replacement. However, since the purifier is generally inside the equipment, unscrewing the outer shell requires reaching inside to unscrew it, making it difficult to locate the outer shell. Moreover, due to the need for sealing, the outer shell needs to be tightened, which is inconvenient for fixing the filter cartridge and the outer shell in the confined space of the equipment. Therefore, a water tank for water purification equipment that allows for external fixing of the purifier's outer shell is proposed, making it easy to operate and convenient for quick and easy filter cartridge replacement.

[0011] Furthermore, both of the fixing blocks have threaded holes inside, and both of the threaded rods have tapered heads fixedly connected to their front ends.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This water purifier, which facilitates filter replacement, uses a water tank with a disassembly and assembly mechanism. When the filter body needs to be installed, the protective shell is engaged with the filter body via a locking pin. The filter body is then placed in the placement slot, and the pressure plate is pressed down, causing the fixing block to snap into the purifier. A spring temporarily secures the protective shell, and then the threaded rod is turned to firmly fix the protective shell in place through the engagement of the threaded rod with the threaded hole. When disassembling and replacing, the old filter body is removed by reversing the operation. This disassembly and assembly mechanism can secure the purifier shell from the outside, making it easy to operate and convenient for quick and easy replacement. Attached Figure Description
