[0039] A water purifier is a household appliance used to improve water quality, remove impurities, harmful substances and odors in water. It provides clean and healthy drinking water for users through various filtration technologies such as activated carbon, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, etc. The water purifier is usually installed under the kitchen sink or on the table, easy to operate and maintain. Using a water purifier can effectively reduce harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metal ions in water, which are harmful to the human body, and ensure the safety of drinking water for family members. In China, with the pursuit of healthy life quality, water purifiers have become one of the essential household appliances for more and more families.

[0040] With the development of the whole water purifier and the improvement of people's living standards, the overall appearance of the water purifier has become one of the standards for people to choose the water purifier, so the appearance of the water purifier is more and more integrated and seamless, that is, in addition to the necessary interface (such as power interface) and heat dissipation channel and other openings that need to be physically connected or contacted with the outside world, the appearance of the water purifier is more and more similar to a regular solid shape, and it is difficult to see the joint or welding position of the appearance panel of the water purifier with the naked eye. Generally, in order to achieve this overall appearance requirement, an integrated panel is used to make the outer covering panel of the whole machine, so that the overall appearance is more regular and flat.

[0041] However, the problem that follows is that if the water purifier needs to be disassembled and repaired due to mechanical failure, the outer covering panel of the water purifier will greatly increase the difficulty of disassembling the outer covering panel due to the characteristics of no joint and integrity brought by the integrated setting, thereby causing inconvenience in repair.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 To solve the above problems, that is, to improve the convenience of repair without damaging the overall appearance of the water purifier, the utility model provides a water purifier, which comprises a machine body 1 and an outer panel 3, and the outer panel 3 is openably and closably connected to the machine body 1. A water storage tank 2 is arranged in the machine body 1, an ice making module 21 is arranged in the water storage tank 2, an opening 22 is formed in the water storage tank 2, and the outer panel 3 covers the opening 22. An operator can repair the ice making module 21 through the opening 22, thereby facilitating the operator to repair the water purifier, and the covering of the outer panel 3 on the opening 22 can minimize the influence of the setting of the opening 22 on the overall appearance of the water purifier.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 It should be noted that in the utility model, the ice making module 21 comprises an ice making box 211, and an evaporator is arranged in the ice making box 211. When there is water in the ice making box 211, the evaporator cools and condenses the water in the ice making box 211 into ice. After ice making is completed, the ice making box 211 is turned over in the water storage tank 2, the evaporator heats to make the ice block fall off the evaporator, and finally the ice block is discharged from the machine body 1. However, in this process, ice blocks may condense on the evaporator or other parts, thereby possibly causing failures such as the ice making box 211 being unable to turn over. Therefore, the ice making module 21 needs to be regularly checked as a whole to ensure normal formation and discharge of the ice blocks.

[0044] Correspondingly, considering that the room temperature of most indoor environments is higher than the freezing point of water, the influence of external temperature on the ice-making module 21 in the water storage tank 2 needs to be insulated, that is, the influence of external temperature on the ice-making efficiency of the ice-making module 21 is reduced, and the water storage tank 2 is provided with a heat preservation cover plate 4 for covering the opening 22. The heat preservation cover plate 4 can insulate the heat exchange between the water storage tank 2 and the external environment, thereby reducing the influence of external temperature on the ice-making efficiency of the ice-making module 21, and ensuring the ice-making speed of the ice-making module 21. Specifically, the heat preservation cover plate 4 is detachably connected to the opening 22, and the outer panel 3 actually covers the heat preservation cover plate 4. Therefore, when the operator needs to overhaul the water purifier, the outer panel 3 can be opened, and the heat preservation cover plate 4 can be opened to overhaul through the opening 22. The openable and closable arrangement of the outer panel 3 can also reduce the joint between the outer panel 3 and the machine body 1 as much as possible, thereby reducing the influence of the opening 22 arranged for easy maintenance on the overall appearance of the water purifier as much as possible.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the utility model, the heat preservation cover plate 4 includes a main body 41 and a heat insulation plate 42, the top surface of the main body 41 is provided with a heat insulation groove 411, and the heat insulation plate 42 is fixed in the heat insulation groove 411. The addition of the heat insulation plate 42 can effectively reduce heat loss, so that the performance of the heat preservation cover plate 4 in heat preservation and insulation is significantly improved, that is, the heat insulation plate 42 can effectively reduce the heat exchange between the ice-making module 21 and the external environment, thereby ensuring the ice-making efficiency of the ice-making module 21 and improving the heat preservation performance of the heat preservation cover plate 4. Correspondingly, since the heat insulation plate 42 is fixed in the heat insulation groove 411 of the main body 41, the cooperation of the heat insulation groove 411 and the heat insulation plate 42 reduces the possibility of displacement of the heat insulation plate 42, improves the stability of the overall structure, and further prolongs the service life of the heat preservation cover plate 4. It should be noted that from the perspective of temperature change, the arrangement of the heat insulation plate 42 improves the heat preservation performance of the heat preservation cover plate 4, thereby reducing the possibility of stress damage of the main body 41 of the heat preservation cover plate 4 due to temperature difference, and further prolonging the service life of the heat preservation cover plate 4. In the utility model, the preferred material of the heat insulation plate 42 is foam, but other heat insulation materials can also be used, which can reduce the heat exchange between the ice-making module 21 and the external environment.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7Further, the heat preservation cover plate 4 further comprises a top plate 43, the top plate 43 is used for shielding the heat insulation plate 42, and the top plate 43 is fixedly arranged on the top surface of the heat insulation plate 42; the arrangement of the top plate 43 can reduce the possibility that the heat insulation plate 42 below is affected by the external environment, for example, reduce the possibility that the external water and dust and other sundries enter into the heat insulation groove 411, or reduce the possibility that the dismounting operation causes damage to the heat insulation plate 42 when the heat preservation cover plate 4 is dismounted, thereby guaranteeing the service life of the heat insulation plate 42; in addition, if the heat insulation plate 42 is made of foam and other flammable materials, the arrangement of the top plate 43 can effectively isolate the possibility that the heat insulation plate 42 contacts the fire source, thereby reducing the possibility that the heat insulation plate 42 is rapidly burned due to contact with the fire source and expands the fire, thereby guaranteeing the safety of the overall structure; based on the above, from another angle, the arrangement of the top plate 43 can integrate other functions or enhance a certain function of the heat preservation cover plate 4, for example, if the top plate 43 is made of fireproof material, the possibility that the heat insulation plate 42 contacts the fire source can be effectively isolated, thereby reducing the risk of fire, but if the top plate 43 is also made of heat preservation material, but the heat preservation material used by the top plate 43 is heat preservation material with higher fireproof performance, the top plate 43 can provide fireproof performance, improve safety, and further reduce heat exchange between the external environment and the ice making module 21, that is, further guarantee the ice making efficiency of the ice making module 21, and improve the heat preservation performance of the heat preservation cover plate 4; from another angle, the arrangement of the top plate 43 actually improves the aesthetics of the overall structure of the heat preservation cover plate 4, and makes the heat preservation cover plate 4 convenient to clean and maintain; when the heat preservation cover plate 4 is dismounted, the operator can only observe the top plate 43 and the main body 41, the same material can be used for the top plate 43 and the main body 41, so that the top plate 43 and the main body 41 have better consistency, thereby having better aesthetics.

[0047] It should be noted that the top plate 43, the heat insulation plate 42 and the main body 41 are fixed with each other, that is, the top plate 43 is fixed on the top surface of the heat insulation plate 42, and the bottom surface of the heat insulation plate 42 is fixed on the groove bottom of the heat insulation groove 411, so that the top plate 43 and the main body 41 are fixed to improve the consistency of the overall structure of the heat preservation cover plate 4; in the utility model, the top plate 43, the heat insulation plate 42 and the main body 41 are fixed by gluing, because the gluing has good fixing performance and low cost, and can also provide a certain sealing effect; the top plate 43, the heat insulation plate 42 and the main body 41 can also be fixed by other fixing modes, and the above is only used for illustration, and is not limited to the fixing mode between the top plate 43, the heat insulation plate 42 and the main body 41.

[0048] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7After the top plate 43, the heat insulation plate 42 and the main body 41 are fixed together, the heat preservation cover plate 4 has a certain thickness, and the integrity of the heat preservation cover plate 4 is stronger, which makes the structure of the heat preservation cover plate 4 more complete, that is, the overall structure of the heat preservation cover plate 4 has better stability, so that the heat preservation cover plate 4 has stronger protection capability, which can further reduce the influence of the external environment on the ice making module 21 in the water storage tank 2; and the thickness of the heat preservation cover plate 4 makes it have a certain structural strength, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the heat preservation cover plate 4; in addition, the increase in thickness can inhibit the noise generated by the ice making module 21 during operation, thereby improving the overall quietness of the water purifier and improving the use experience of the water purifier; and the increase in thickness helps the heat preservation cover plate 4 to inhibit the generation of thermal bridge effect, that is, to prevent external heat from quickly transferring to the water storage tank 2 through the heat preservation cover plate 4, thereby further ensuring the temperature difference between the water storage tank 2 and the external environment, that is, further ensuring the ice making efficiency of the ice making module 21.

[0049] Based on the above description, considering that the ice making box 211 will be turned over in the water storage tank 2, in order to make space for the turning over of the ice making box 211, the bottom surface of the main body 41 is provided with a first avoiding groove 412 for avoiding the ice making box 211, and the first avoiding convex arc 413 is arranged in the heat insulation groove 411, which is used to increase the length of the first avoiding groove 412 in the height direction of the machine body 1. Specifically, the first avoiding groove 412 is arranged to leave space for the turning over of the ice making box 211, so as to avoid the collision and friction between the heat preservation cover plate 4 and the ice making box 211 during the turning over of the ice making box 211, thereby reducing the possibility of structural damage of the heat preservation cover plate 4 and the ice making box 211 caused by collision and friction, protecting the structural integrity of the two, and further protecting the service life of the two. In addition, the arrangement of the first avoiding groove 412 makes the heat preservation cover plate 4 have better heat preservation effect, that is, the heat preservation cover plate 4 can be as close as possible to the ice making box 211 without colliding and rubbing with the ice making box 211. The arrangement of the first avoiding groove 412 actually shortens the straight line distance between the heat preservation cover plate 4 and the ice making box 211, so that the heat preservation cover plate 4 can more closely cover the ice making box 211, so as to obtain better heat preservation effect. In another aspect, the arrangement of the first avoiding groove 412 also reduces the size of the water storage tank 2 to some extent, thereby reducing the size of the whole water purifier, and further reducing the space occupied by the water purifier when arranged. The first avoiding convex arc 413 arranged on the basis of the first avoiding groove 412 actually occupies part of the space in the heat insulation groove 411, thereby increasing the size of the first avoiding groove 412, so that the first avoiding groove 412 has larger avoiding space and can be closer to the ice making box 211, further enhancing the heat preservation effect of the heat preservation cover plate 4. In addition, the design of the first avoiding convex arc 413 helps to reduce the loss of heat at the edge of the groove wall of the first avoiding groove 412, further optimizing the heat preservation effect of the heat preservation cover plate 4 on the inside of the water storage tank 2. It should be noted that the design of the first avoiding groove 412 and the first avoiding convex arc 413 has a certain anti-fumble effect to some extent, and the user needs to align the first avoiding groove 412 with the ice making box 211 for installation, so as to reduce installation errors. In addition, the arrangement of the first avoiding groove 412 and the first avoiding convex arc 413 makes the main body 41 of the heat preservation cover plate 4 have stronger structural strength, further improving the service life of the heat preservation cover plate 4.

[0050] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7, and the first avoiding gap 421 is arranged on the heat insulation plate 42 to avoid the first avoiding convex arc 413, so that the installation personnel is not prone to make mistakes when assembling the heat preservation cover plate 4, that is, the first avoiding gap 421 has a certain fool-proof function; therefore, the first avoiding gap 421 is arranged to avoid interference between the heat insulation plate 42 and the first avoiding convex arc 413, so that the installation obstacle is not prone to be generated, and the thermal expansion problem caused by improper installation is avoided, and the potential safety risk is reduced; in addition, the first avoiding gap 421 is arranged to make the heat insulation plate 42 more fit the main body 41, the air convection is reduced, and the heat insulation effect of the heat preservation cover plate 4 is further optimized.

[0051] In the utility model, in order to install the heat preservation cover plate 4 on the opening 22 of the water storage tank 2, the heat preservation cover plate 4 is fixed on the top of the water storage tank 2 by the connecting piece, so that the heat preservation cover plate 4 covers the opening 22 of the water storage tank 2; specifically, at least one fixing part 414 is arranged in the heat insulation groove 411, and in the utility model, the connecting piece is a screw, the screw is fixedly connected with the water storage tank 2 through the fixing part 414; the second avoiding gap 422 for avoiding the fixing part 414 is arranged on the heat insulation plate 42, and the third avoiding gap is arranged on the top plate 43; when installing, the tip of the screw passes through the third avoiding gap, then passes through the second avoiding gap 422, and then passes through the fixing part 414 to be connected with the water storage tank 2, so that the heat preservation cover plate 4 is fixed on the water storage tank 2; the fixing part 414 and the screw are arranged to make the installation of the heat preservation cover plate 4 simple and fast, compared with other fixing modes, the screw fixing has better structural strength, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and has a certain fool-proof function; in the actual installation process, if the installation personnel does not correctly place the heat preservation cover plate 4 on the top of the water storage tank 2, the screw cannot be connected with the water storage tank 2 through the fixing part 414; in addition, through the screw fixing, the possibility that the heat preservation cover plate 4 is loosened due to vibration during the operation of the whole water purifier is reduced, and the stability of the heat preservation cover plate 4 is further ensured; and the design of the second avoiding gap 422 and the third avoiding gap actually ensures that the top plate 43 and the heat insulation plate 42 do not interfere with the screw during the installation process, and the smooth installation is ensured.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7On the basis of the above, the water purifier body 1 is also provided with a balancer 11, which is used to detect the water level of the ice making tank, avoid the ice making failure caused by the high water level in the ice making tank, and discharge the air in the water storage tank 2 to balance the air pressure inside and outside the water storage tank 2. Since the setting position of the balancer 11 is usually located at the top of the water storage tank 2, the bottom surface of the main body 41 of the heat preservation cover plate 4 is also provided with a second avoiding groove 415 for avoiding the balancer 11. The opening of the second avoiding groove 415 ensures that the heat preservation cover plate 4 will not interfere with the balancer 11 during installation and operation, thereby ensuring the normal work and maintenance of the balancer 11. By avoiding the balancer 11 through the second avoiding groove 415, the damage or failure caused by the mutual interference of components is reduced, and the safety of the whole machine is improved. From another angle, the opening of the second avoiding groove 415 also further reduces the occupied space of the heat preservation cover plate 4, thereby further improving the effective use of the internal space of the water purifier, so that each component can coexist harmoniously without occupying additional space.

[0053] It should be noted that, the same as the first avoiding groove 412, in order to further utilize the overall space inside the water purifier, the second avoiding convex arc 416 is arranged in the heat insulation groove 411, which is used to increase the length of the second avoiding groove 415 in the height direction of the body 1. The arrangement of the second avoiding convex arc 416 further increases the size of the second avoiding groove 415, providing more space for the balancer 11, so that more types and sizes of balancers 11 can be adapted. Moreover, the arrangement of the second avoiding convex arc 416 can enhance the structural stability between the heat preservation cover plate 4 and the balancer 11, and reduce the vibration or noise caused by the interaction between components.

[0054] Correspondingly, the fourth avoiding gap 423 is arranged on the heat insulation plate 42 for avoiding the second avoiding convex arc 416, so as to ensure the perfect fit between the heat insulation plate 42 and the main body 41, and avoid the interference between the heat insulation plate 42 and the main body 41; in addition, from the overall angle of the heat insulation plate 42, the arrangement of the first avoiding gap 421, the second avoiding gap 422 and the fourth avoiding gap 423 has the anti-fumble effect, that is, the installation personnel needs to align the first avoiding gap 421, the second avoiding gap 422 and the fourth avoiding gap 423 with the first avoiding convex arc 413, the fixed part 414 and the second avoiding convex arc 416 respectively when installing the main body 41 and the heat insulation plate 42, so that the heat insulation plate 42 is perfectly attached to the main body 41; in addition, in the utility model, if the heat insulation plate 42 is correctly installed, the notch positions of the top surface heat insulation grooves 411 of the top plate 43 are actually basically flush, so whether the heat insulation plate 42 is correctly installed can also be judged by the alignment degree between the surface of the top plate 43 and the main body 41; similarly, the arrangement of the fourth avoiding gap 423 can make the heat insulation plate 42 perfectly attached to the main body 41, further optimizing the heat insulation effect of the heat preservation cover plate 4 on the ice making module 21 in the water storage tank 2, so as to protect the ice making efficiency of the ice making module 21.

[0055] It should be noted that, in the utility model, in order to further facilitate the installation personnel to install the heat preservation cover plate 4, the main body 41 of the heat preservation cover plate 4 is provided with a convex edge around, and the opening 22 has a groove corresponding to the convex edge, that is, in the installation process, the convex edge will be embedded into the groove, and the groove will support the convex edge, that is, the water storage tank 2 will support the heat preservation cover plate 4, which will facilitate the installation personnel to fix the heat preservation cover plate 4 on the water storage tank 2, thereby improving the installation convenience of the heat preservation cover plate 4; in addition, the cooperation of the convex edge and the groove actually improves the structural consistency and coordination between the water storage tank 2 and the heat preservation cover plate 4, so that the heat preservation cover plate 4 and the water storage tank 2 tend to be a whole, thereby improving the consistency of the overall structure.

[0056] Reference Figure 8 Based on the above, when the heat preservation cover plate 4 is installed, the outer panel 3 can be closed, so that the outer panel 3 covers the heat preservation cover plate 4, to protect the appearance of the water purifier; the opening and closing mode of the outer panel 3 has many kinds, such as flip opening and closing and sliding opening and closing, or direct opening and closing; specifically, the outer panel 3 can be directly removed from the machine body 1, or the outer panel 3 can be rotatably connected or slidably connected with the machine body 1, to facilitate the maintenance personnel to disassemble or install the outer panel 3, and then to maintain the ice making module 21; the above opening and closing mode of the outer panel 3 is only illustrative, and is not limited to the specific opening and closing mode of the outer panel 3.

It is to be explained that from the overall appearance angle, the cooperation mode of the sliding block 32 and the sliding groove 12 is suitable for the outer panel 3 of various sizes and shapes, that is, in the case that the replaceable outer panel 3 is provided, the user can customize the color, pattern and shape of the outer panel 3 according to his own preference, only the outer panel 3 for replacement needs to be provided with the same sliding block 32, and thus the universality and adaptability of the outer panel 3 are improved, and the user's selection is enriched.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9Specifically, the bottom surface of the sliding block 32 is provided with a matching block 33, one end of the matching block 33 is provided with an abutting arc surface 34, and one end of the sliding groove 12 is provided with a lifting inclined surface 13 matched with the abutting arc surface 34. In terms of the installation and removal of the outer panel 3, in the process of installing the outer panel 3 to the body 1, the lifting inclined surface 13 guides the sliding block 32 to enter the sliding groove 12, that is, the outer panel 3 is affected by gravity in the sliding process and the sliding block 32 enters the sliding groove 12 by itself; when the outer panel 3 is removed from the body 1, the abutting arc surface 34 cooperates with the lifting inclined surface 13, so that the outer panel 3 gradually protrudes in the sliding process, facilitating the operator to remove the outer panel 3 from the body 1; in other words, in the process of installing and removing the outer panel 3, the outer panel 3 has displacement in the up-down direction in addition to the front-rear sliding; in combination with the installation and removal process of the outer panel 3, the setting of the lifting inclined surface 13 can guide the sliding block 32 to smoothly enter the sliding groove 12 in the installation process, so that the installation process is more smooth, that is, the user does not need to accurately align the sliding block 32 and the sliding groove 12 when installing or removing the outer panel 3, the lifting inclined surface 13 can automatically guide the sliding block 32 to the position, simplifying the operation process; and the design of the lifting inclined surface 13 helps to reduce the error in installation and ensure the correct alignment between the outer panel 3 and the body 1; and the cooperation of the abutting arc surface 34 on the sliding block 32 and the lifting inclined surface 13 can produce a self-locking effect after the sliding block 32 is in place, preventing the sliding block 32 from being pulled out or falling from the sliding groove 12, that is, reducing the possibility of the outer panel 3 being pulled out under non-human factors after installation is completed, and improving the stability of the structure; and the design of the abutting arc surface 34 and the lifting inclined surface 13 increases the friction between the sliding block 32 and the sliding groove 12, so that the outer panel 3 is more firm after being fixed.

[0059] In order to improve the stability of the outer panel 3 after installation is completed, the other end of the sliding groove 12 is further provided with a limiting block 14, and the limiting block 14 is used to cooperate with the sliding block 32 to limit the displacement of the outer panel 3. Specifically, the limiting block 14 limits the movement of the sliding block 32 in the up-down direction after the sliding block 32 completely enters the sliding groove 12, so as to ensure that the sliding block 32 can only be pulled out of the sliding groove 12 by front-rear sliding, and is not easy to move up and down under external force, thereby ensuring the stability of the outer panel 3; in addition, the movement direction of the sliding block 32 is limited by the limiting block 14, so that the outer panel 3 is more stable after being fixed, and the shaking or displacement of the outer panel 3 that may occur in the use process is reduced; and the design of the limiting block 14 prevents the sliding block 32 from moving in the unintended direction, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by misoperation.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9In order to match the limiting block 14 to limit the up and down movement of the outer panel 3 after installation is completed, one end of the outer panel 3 is bent to form a limiting part 35, and a plurality of positioning blocks 36 are protrudingly arranged on the limiting part 35, and the body 1 is provided with positioning grooves 15 for embedding the positioning blocks 36. The cooperation of the positioning blocks 36 and the positioning grooves 15 will further limit the movement trend of the outer panel 3 in the up and down direction after installation is completed, thereby further improving the stability of the outer panel 3; in addition, the cooperation of the positioning blocks 36 and the positioning grooves 15 can also play a certain protective role for the sliding block 32 and the limiting block 14; specifically, compared with the cooperation of the sliding block 32 and the sliding groove 12, the positioning block 36 needs to be more easily detached from the positioning groove 15 to avoid interference with the sliding of the sliding block 32 in the horizontal direction; and when the outer panel 3 is installed, the positioning block 36 will be completely embedded into the positioning groove 15, so that when the outer panel 3 has a tendency to move up and down, the cooperation of the positioning block 36 and the positioning groove 15 can share part of the pressure for the sliding block 32 and the sliding groove 12, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the structure of the sliding block 32 and the sliding groove 12.
