[0033] Water purification machines or water purification machines and other water drinking equipment have become indispensable daily necessities in daily life and workplaces, such as homes, offices, etc. These devices provide users with convenient and fast water drinking services by connecting to direct drinking water sources, such as tap water, significantly improving the comfort and convenience of life.

[0034] In the related art field, water drinking equipment is provided with a filter element responsible for removing impurities, residual chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria and other harmful substances in water to ensure the purity and safety of the output water quality. However, in actual operation, the installation position of the filter element is usually hidden and the space is limited, making it difficult for users to operate during installation and removal, especially in the absence of sufficient guidance or unclear instructions, which makes it even more difficult. This not only increases the difficulty of user operation, but also may affect the filtering effect of the filter element due to improper installation, and even cause safety hazards such as equipment leakage.

[0035] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present application proposes a water drinking equipment 1, which can be a water purification machine or a water purification machine, etc., and its core function is to provide clean drinking water to meet the daily drinking water needs of users. In terms of water supply, the water drinking equipment 1 shows high flexibility. It can be connected to a barrel of water to supply drinking water to users by using the barrel of water as a water source. At the same time, it can also be directly connected to a tap water pipe to use tap water as a water supply source. In the embodiments of the present application, the water drinking equipment 1 includes a housing assembly 20, a waterway assembly 30 and a filter element 40.

[0036] The shell assembly 20 is provided with a mounting cavity 221 extending in the up-down direction, and the top wall of the shell assembly 20 is provided with a mounting opening 211 communicating with the mounting cavity 221. The waterway assembly 30 is arranged in the shell assembly 20 and at least partially located in the mounting cavity 221.

[0037] The shell assembly 20 is the main structure of the drinking water equipment 1, which not only plays an important role in bearing and protecting the internal components, but also ensures the overall appearance and durability of the drinking water equipment 1. The waterway assembly 30 is the core component for realizing the water supply function, which includes various necessary water pipes or connectors and other components to ensure smooth and stable water flow. It should be noted that the opening of the mounting opening 211 can be circular or square, which is convenient for processing.

[0038] The filter element 40 is arranged in the mounting cavity 221 through the mounting opening 211 and communicates with the part of the waterway assembly 30 located in the mounting cavity 221. The filter element 40 includes a PAC filter element 40, an activated carbon filter element 40, a nanofiltration membrane filter element 40 and a post-filter element 40 connected in sequence along the water flow direction. In this way, the water flow can be filtered multiple times, thereby improving the water quality. The top end of the filter element 40 can be provided with a handle 43 to facilitate the user to hold, thereby facilitating subsequent replacement.

[0039] In the drinking water equipment 1 of the embodiment, the mounting opening 211 communicating with the mounting cavity 221 extending in the up-down direction is arranged on the top wall of the shell. This design allows the filter element 40 to directly enter the mounting cavity 221 through the mounting opening 211 from the top and communicate with the part of the waterway assembly 30 located in the mounting cavity 221. This improvement greatly simplifies the installation process of the filter element 40. Instead of struggling in a narrow space, the user can conveniently install and remove the filter element 40 through the mounting opening 211 on the top. This not only improves the convenience of installation and reduces the difficulty of operation for the user, but also ensures that the filter element 40 can be correctly and firmly installed in place, thereby fully playing its filtering role and ensuring the purity and safety of the output water quality. At the same time, due to the simplification of the installation process, the safety hazards such as equipment leakage caused by improper installation are also reduced, and the overall use performance of the drinking water equipment 1 is improved.

[0040] Referring to Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the shell assembly 20 comprises a shell 21 and a mounting bracket 22, the waterway assembly 30 is arranged in the shell 21, the top wall of the shell 21 is provided with a mounting opening 211, the mounting bracket 22 is fixed in the shell 21 and located below the mounting opening 211, and the mounting bracket 22 is formed with a mounting cavity 221. The shell 21 can comprise a bottom plate 216, a middle shell 214, a front panel 213 and a rear panel 215, the middle shell 214, the front panel 213 and the rear panel 215 are all connected to the bottom plate 216, the front panel 213 and the rear panel 215 are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the middle shell 214, so as to form the outer contour of the whole machine. The top wall of the middle shell 214 is provided with the mounting opening 211. The mounting bracket 22 can be fixed to the bottom plate 216 by screws or buckles. The waterway assembly 30 comprises a connecting base 31 connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 22, the connecting base 31 is provided with a fixing groove 311 in communication with the bottom of the mounting cavity 221, and the end of the filter element 40 is accommodated in the fixing groove 311 and in communication with the connecting base 31. The connecting base 31 is closely connected to the bottom of the mounting cavity 221, so that when the filter element 40 is inserted into the mounting cavity 221 through the mounting opening 211, the end of the filter element 40 will directly fall into the fixing groove 311 of the connecting base 31 under the action of gravity, and the connecting base 31 is in communication. This design not only greatly improves the installation stability of the filter element 40, avoids the shaking and displacement of the filter element 40 during use, but also ensures that the water flow can be smooth and efficient when passing through the filter element 40. The close fit between the fixing groove 311 and the end of the filter element 40 not only prevents water leakage, but also ensures that the filter element 40 can fully play its filtering role and provide users with more pure and healthy drinking water. It should be noted that the connecting base 31 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 22 by a connecting sleeve 70, the connecting sleeve 70 is sleeved and fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the connecting base 31, and then the connecting sleeve 70 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 22 by screws or buckles.

[0041] By referring to Figure 4 And Figure 5, further, the groove bottom surface of the fixing groove 311 is provided with a first connecting part (not shown), and the end surface of the filter core 40 is provided with a first fixing part 41 corresponding to the first connecting part, and the first fixing part 41 and the first connecting part are clamped and matched. This clamping mode is not only simple and easy to operate, but also can ensure the stability and firmness of the filter core 40 after installation. Specifically, the first connecting part and the first fixing part 41 can adopt the matching form of plug and slot. The plug as the specific form of the first connecting part, its shape and size are closely matched with the slot (i.e. the first fixing part 41). When the filter core 40 is inserted into the installation port 211 and falls into the fixing groove 311, the plug will be accurately inserted into the slot, and the close fit between the two realizes the radial positioning of the filter core 40. This plug and slot matching mode not only improves the installation efficiency of the filter core 40, but also greatly enhances the connection strength between the filter core 40 and the connecting base 31. During the operation of the equipment, even if the water flow generates a certain impact force on the filter core 40, the filter core 40 can be firmly fixed in the fixing groove 311, and the loosening or displacement will not occur. In addition, the plug and slot matching also has good sealing performance. When the plug is completely inserted into the slot, a tight sealing surface 103A is formed between the two, which effectively prevents the leakage of water flow and the invasion of external impurities. This not only ensures the normal operation of the equipment, but also prolongs the service life of the filter core 40, and provides the user with more pure and healthy drinking water

[0042] Optionally, the groove side wall of the fixing groove 311 is provided with a second connecting part (not shown), and the side wall of the filter core 40 is provided with a second fixing part 42 corresponding to the second connecting part, and the second fixing part 42 and the second connecting part are clamped and matched. The existence of the two makes the filter core 40 realize more stable connection through clamping and matching during installation. Specifically, the matching mode between the second fixing part 42 and the second connecting part is not a simple plug-in or push-pull, but a more ingenious rotary matching. This matching mode requires that the filter core 40 needs to be rotated in a specific direction during installation, so that the second fixing part 42 can be accurately aligned with the second connecting part and clamped. Once clamped successfully, the filter core 40 can obtain stable positioning in the axial direction, avoiding shaking and displacement caused by water flow impact or external force. The rotary matching mode not only improves the installation stability of the filter core 40, but also makes the disassembly process of the filter core 40 more convenient. When the user needs to replace the filter core 40, he only needs to rotate the filter core 40 in the opposite direction, so that the second fixing part 42 can be easily released from the second connecting part, thereby realizing the quick replacement of the filter core 40. In addition, the rotary matching mode also has a certain self-locking function. When the filter core 40 is rotated to the correct position and clamped successfully, the second fixing part 42 and the second connecting part will form a state of mutual engagement, which can effectively prevent the filter core 40 from falling off or loosening due to accidental circumstances during use.

[0043] In summary, the first connecting portion, the second connecting portion, the first fixing portion 41 and the second fixing portion 42 can be simultaneously arranged, so that the axial and radial fixation of the filter element 40 after installation can be realized at the same time, and the safety and reliability of the filter element 40 during use are also enhanced.

[0044] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the length extension direction of the installation cavity 221 is arranged vertically to the horizontal direction. From the perspective of space utilization, the vertically arranged installation cavity 221 can make more efficient use of vertical space, especially in a limited space installation environment. This design can significantly save floor space, so that the device can be more flexible to adapt to various installation scenarios. At the same time, the vertical layout also makes the filter element 40 more intuitive to the operator during installation and replacement, facilitating related operations and maintenance. In addition, the vertically arranged installation cavity 221 also helps to improve the overall stability of the device. Since the filter element 40 is vertically installed, the direction of its gravity is consistent with the extension direction of the installation cavity 221, which makes the filter element 40 more firmly fixed in the fixing groove 311 after installation, avoiding shaking or displacement due to inconsistent gravity direction. This stability not only ensures the normal operation of the device, but also prolongs the service life of the filter element 40.

[0045] With reference to Figures 1 to 3 Optionally, the shell assembly 20 further comprises a top cover 23, which is detachably connected to the top of the shell 21 and covers the installation port 211. The presence of the top cover 23 first provides an additional layer of protection for the device. It can effectively shield the installation port 211, preventing external factors such as dust, debris or moisture from entering the interior of the water purifier 1, thereby causing damage to key components such as the waterway assembly 30 and the filter element 40. Secondly, the detachable connection of the top cover 23 also takes into account the convenience of use. When the user needs to install or replace the filter element 40, simply opening the top cover 23 can easily access the installation port 211. This design not only simplifies the operation process, but also enables users to more conveniently maintain and maintain the device. In addition, the top cover 23 is closely connected to the top of the shell 21, forming an integrated appearance.

[0046] With reference to Figures 1 to 3Optionally, the front side of the shell 21 is provided with a visual window 212, and the side of the mounting bracket 22 close to the visual window 212 is provided with a transparent area 222 opposite to the visual window 212, and the transparent area 222 is used to display the filter element 40. The visual window 212 can be made of a light-transmitting material such as a glass plate. The existence of the transparent area 222 of the mounting bracket 22 enables the user to clearly observe the state of the filter element 40 through the visual window 212 of the shell 21. Such a design meets the user's real-time monitoring demand for the state of the filter element 40. During daily use, the user can intuitively see the cleaning degree and remaining service life of the filter element 40 without disassembling the shell 21 or the top cover 23. This visual management mode not only enables the user to have a good command of the state of the filter element 40, but also timely reminds the user to replace the filter element 40, thereby ensuring that the equipment always maintains the best filtering effect.

[0047] Referring to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the water drinking device 1 further comprises an ice tank 50 and a valve assembly 10, the valve assembly 10 and the ice tank 50 are arranged in the shell assembly 20, and the valve assembly 10 and the ice tank 50 are communicated with the filter element 40 through the water channel assembly 30. The ice tank 50 is used to cool water. The ice tank 50 and the valve assembly 10 are carefully arranged in the interior of the shell assembly 20, and they are efficiently connected through the precise water channel assembly 30. The valve assembly 10 is closely connected with the filter element 40, which ensures that the water purified by the filter element 40 can smoothly flow through the valve assembly 10 and then through the ice tank 50 for cooling before being discharged for the user to drink. The existence of the ice tank 50 enables the device to not only provide purified water, but also provide cool water according to the user's demand, greatly improving the user's experience.

[0048] In addition, the water drinking device 1 is also equipped with a control assembly 60, which makes the device more intelligent. The control assembly 60 is electrically connected with the ice tank 50, and the user can accurately control the cooling efficiency of the ice tank 50 through the control assembly 60. This means that the user can adjust the temperature of the cold water at any time according to his own preferences and needs, so as to obtain the best drinking experience. At the same time, the control assembly 60 can also monitor the working state of the ice tank 50 in real time, ensuring that it can maintain stable cooling effect while running efficiently. This highly integrated design not only greatly improves the function of the device, but also makes the overall structure of the device more compact and reasonable. The ingenious combination of the ice tank 50, the valve assembly 10, the control assembly 60 and the shell assembly 20 forms an efficient, stable and intelligent water drinking system. The user only needs to simply operate the control assembly 60 to enjoy the convenience of the integrated purification and cooling service, thereby meeting various needs of daily drinking and cooling.

[0049] Referring to Figures 6 to 9In some embodiments, the valve assembly 10 includes at least two mechanical valves 100 and a valve bracket 200. The valve bracket 200 is configured to be connected to the housing assembly 20, and includes a first mounting portion 201 and a second mounting portion 202 connected together. It should be noted that from the perspective of structural strength, the first mounting portion 201 and the second mounting portion 202 can be designed as an integral structure. This design can ensure that the overall structure of the valve bracket 200 is firm and stable, and can withstand a large external force without being easily damaged. However, for maintainability, the first mounting portion 201 and the second mounting portion 202 can also be connected by screws, buckles, or other detachable means. This design makes the assembly and disassembly of the valve bracket 200 more convenient, facilitating subsequent replacement and maintenance work. When a part fails or needs to be upgraded, it can be easily disassembled without the need to replace the entire valve bracket 200, thereby reducing maintenance costs. When connected to the housing assembly 20, either the first mounting portion 201 or the second mounting portion 202 of the valve bracket 200 is connected to the housing assembly 20 to achieve basic connection and fixation. This design meets the basic connection requirements and ensures the stability of the connection. At the same time, in order to further improve the stability of the connection, the first mounting portion 201 and the second mounting portion 202 can also be connected to the housing assembly 20 at the same time. This double connection design can significantly enhance the connection strength between the valve assembly 10 and the housing assembly 20, ensuring stable operation in various complex working environments.

[0050] Each mechanical valve 100 is mounted to the first mounting portion 201, and the second mounting portion 202 has a water passage pipe 2023, a water inlet 2021, and a water outlet 2022 connected to the water passage pipe 2023, and the water outlet hole 101d of each mechanical valve 100 is connected to the water inlet 2021 through the waterway assembly 30. It can be understood that the water passage pipe 2023 can be a single pipe arranged in a straight line to meet the simple and direct water flow requirements, or can be multiple segments arranged at an angle to adapt to more complex and variable spatial layouts and water flow paths. The direct application of the water outlet 2022 as the water outlet end of the drinking water equipment 1 further improves the practicality and convenience of this design. Users do not need additional conversion equipment or pipelines to directly obtain drinking water after the mechanical valve 100 through the water outlet 2022.

[0051] Thus, by making the valve assembly 10 include at least two mechanical valves 100 and a valve bracket 200, the valve bracket 200 includes a first mounting portion 201 and a second mounting portion 202, each mechanical valve 100 is mounted on the first mounting portion 201, so as to realize the integrated arrangement of multiple mechanical valves 100. This integrated design not only facilitates subsequent modular assembly, but also significantly improves space utilization and assembly efficiency, making the internal structure of the water dispenser 1 more tidy and orderly. At the same time, the second mounting portion 202 also has a water pipe 2023, and a water inlet 2021 and a drain outlet 2022 are arranged in communication with the water pipe 2023, i.e., a waterway is formed on the valve bracket 200, thereby reducing the need for additional waterway components in subsequent assembly, reducing installation difficulty, and further making the overall valve assembly 10 more compact and easy to install, and the subsequent maintenance process also becomes more efficient and convenient.

[0052] With reference to Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some structural forms, the same side of the first mounting portion 201 is provided with a plurality of spaced limiting grooves 201B, and the mechanical valve 100 includes a valve body 101 and a first protrusion 108 connected to the outer side wall of the valve body 101, and the first protrusion 108 is embedded in the limiting groove 201B. Among them, the arrangement of multiple limiting grooves 201B realizes the independent and stable fixation of multiple mechanical valves 100. A close fitting relationship is formed between each limiting groove 201B and the first protrusion 108 of the mechanical valve 100. This close fitting not only ensures the accurate position of each mechanical valve 100 after installation, but also effectively prevents the possible shaking or misalignment of the mechanical valve 100 during operation, thereby greatly reducing the risk of functional failure caused by these factors. This design not only improves the stability and reliability of the entire system, but also exhibits significant advantages in actual operation. The clamping method is more convenient and efficient than the traditional fixing method, greatly improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, when the mechanical valve 100 needs to be repaired or replaced later, this clamping method also makes the operation more convenient, thereby further improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0053] In addition, with reference to Figures 10 to 12In some embodiments, the mechanical valve 100 further comprises a first sealing ring 102, a valve stem 103, a pressing assembly 104, and a spring 105. The valve body 101 has a water inlet cavity 101A and a water outlet cavity 101B, and a communication port 101C that connects the water inlet cavity 101A and the water outlet cavity 101B. The valve body 101 includes a mounting portion 101a located within the water inlet cavity 101A. It can be understood that the water inlet cavity 101A is responsible for receiving input from external fluids, while the water outlet cavity 101B is responsible for outputting fluids to the next stage. This design ensures the orderly flow of fluids within the valve body 101. It should be noted that the flow area of the water inlet cavity 101A is designed to be larger than that of the water outlet cavity 101B, thus achieving throttling and pressure reduction effects. When the fluid passes through the valve body 101, due to the change in flow area, the flow rate and pressure of the fluid will change accordingly. This change can help regulate and control the flow and pressure of the fluid, thus achieving more precise and stable fluid control. The opening shape of the communication port 101C can be a regular shape such as a circle or a square, to facilitate processing and manufacturing.

[0054] The first sealing ring 102 is connected to the mounting portion 101a and is arranged around the communication port 101c. The first sealing ring 102 can be made of materials such as silicone or rubber, so that the first sealing ring 102 has excellent corrosion resistance, tear resistance, and compression deformation resistance. The valve stem 103 is movably arranged in the valve body 101 and at least partially located in the water inlet cavity 101a and the water outlet cavity 101b. The part of the valve stem 103 located in the water inlet cavity 101a has a sealing surface 103a facing the first sealing ring 102. The specific movement of the valve stem 103 is sliding along the arrangement direction of the water inlet cavity 101a and the water outlet cavity 101b. This sliding movement enables the valve stem 103 to accurately control the on-off of the fluid and achieve precise flow regulation. At the same time, the sliding design of the valve stem 103 also facilitates the maintenance and operation of the valve. In terms of material selection, the valve stem 103 can be made of plastic material. Plastic material has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, easy processing, and can meet the use requirements of the mechanical valve 100 in different working environments. In addition, the plastic valve stem 103 also has good wear resistance and anti-aging performance, which can prolong the service life of the mechanical valve 100. The pressing assembly 104 is connected to the valve body 101 and connected with the valve stem 103. One end of the pressing assembly 104 is provided with a mounting hole, and one end of the valve stem 103 is inserted into the mounting hole. Thus, the pressing assembly 104 drives the valve stem 103 to move along the axial direction of the pressing assembly 104 and switches to the first state or the second state. It should be noted that the structure of the pressing assembly 104 is inspired by the existing technology of the pressing type ballpoint pen and similar designs. These designs usually include a ratchet mechanism to ensure the stability and reliability of the pressing action. In a ballpoint pen, a pressing assembly 104 is installed at the tail of the pen. When the user presses the tail, the ratchet structure drives the ink cartridge to move downward and self-locks, so that the ink cartridge is in the extended writable state. When the user presses the tail again, the ratchet structure moves in the opposite direction, so that the ink cartridge retreats into the pen barrel and is in the unwritable state. Applying the structure of the existing pressing assembly 104 to the mechanical water valve can achieve similar functions. The user only needs to press the pressing assembly 104 gently to drive the valve stem 103 to move, thereby changing the state of the mechanical valve 100. This design not only improves the operation convenience of the mechanical valve 100, but also ensures its stability and reliability. The spring 105 is arranged in the water inlet cavity 101a, and the two ends of the spring 105 are respectively in abutment with the valve stem 103 and the cavity wall of the water inlet cavity 101a, and provide a pushing force acting on the valve stem 103 and along the axial direction of the valve stem 103 towards the pressing assembly 104. When the pressing assembly 104 is in the first state, the sealing surface 103A is spaced apart from the first sealing ring 102, so that the water inlet cavity 101a and the water outlet cavity 101b are in a conductive state. When the pressing assembly 104 is in the second state, the sealing surface 103A is in abutment with the first sealing ring 102, so that the water inlet cavity 101a and the water outlet cavity 101b are in a disconnected state.

[0055] In actual operation, the user drives the valve rod 103 to move along its axial direction between the water inlet cavity 101A and the water outlet cavity 101B of the valve body 101 by manipulating the pressing assembly 104, so as to realize the on-off control of the water inlet cavity 101A and the water outlet cavity 101B. Specifically, when the pressing assembly 104 is pressed for the first time and is in the first state, it drives the valve rod 103 to move along the axial direction, in the process, the spring 105 is moderately compressed, and at the same time, the sealing surface 103A on the valve rod 103 and the first sealing ring 102 maintain a certain interval, thereby ensuring the smooth conduction between the water inlet cavity 101A and the water outlet cavity 101B, allowing the water flow to pass freely. When the pressing assembly 104 is pressed again, the pressing assembly 104 enters the second state, at this time, the spring 105 pushes the valve rod 103 to move reversely by using its reset thrust, at this time, the sealing surface 103A tightly abuts on the first sealing ring 102, effectively cutting off the water inlet cavity 101A and the water outlet cavity 101B, realizing the complete cut-off of the water flow. The design of the mechanical valve 100 not only has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost, but also greatly simplifies the structure of the mechanical valve 100 while realizing the effective control of the water flow, and improves the operation convenience. In addition, in the movement process of the valve rod 103, the first sealing ring 102 is always stably located in the installation part 101a, and this design ensures the position stability of the first sealing ring 102, thereby ensuring the sealing effect. At the same time, since the water flow direction of the water inlet cavity 101A to the water outlet cavity 101B is consistent with the axial movement direction of the valve rod 103, and the elastic thrust provided by the spring 105 is also in the same direction, this design effectively reduces the influence of the water flow pressure on the movement process of the mechanical valve 100, thereby significantly improving the pressure-bearing capacity thereof.

[0056] In some structural forms, with reference to Figure 14The installation portion 101a includes a cavity wall surface of the water inlet cavity 101A, which is arranged opposite to the sealing surface 103A and recessed to form a limiting groove 101b. The first sealing ring 102 is embedded in the limiting groove 101b and at least partially protrudes out of the limiting groove 101b. In this way, by forming the limiting groove 101b, a stable support and positioning point is provided for the first sealing ring 102, and the stability and accuracy of the sealing ring after installation are also ensured. When the valve rod 103 moves under the drive of the pressing assembly 104, the contact between the sealing surface 103A and the first sealing ring 102 becomes more close and reliable. The presence of the limiting groove 101b not only prevents the deformation or displacement of the sealing ring under high pressure, but also enhances the pressure-bearing capacity of the sealing surface 103A through its recessed structure. This design not only improves the sealing performance of the water valve, but also prolongs the service life of the sealing ring, thereby reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency. Of course, in other embodiments, the installation portion 101a can also be a sleeve structure arranged directly on the cavity wall of the water inlet cavity 101A. This design allows the first sealing ring 102 to be directly sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve structure for fixation. This sleeve structure not only simplifies the installation process, but also improves the stability and durability of the first sealing ring 102, further reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency.

[0057] Optionally, the sealing surface 103A is arranged in a plane. In this way, the planar sealing surface 103A can provide a more uniform and stable contact area. When the valve rod 103 moves under the drive of the pressing assembly 104, causing the sealing surface 103A to contact the first sealing ring 102, the planar shape can ensure that the contact pressure between the two is evenly distributed, thereby effectively preventing fluid from leaking around the sealing surface 103A. Secondly, the planar sealing surface 103A is relatively simple to process and manufacture, which helps to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency. The planar shape is easy to accurately manufacture through mechanical processing or mold forming, thereby ensuring that the sealing surface 103A of each water valve is consistent and reliable.

[0058] Referring to Figure 12 In some structural forms, the push rod includes a rod body portion 1031 and a sealing portion 1032 arranged around the rod body portion 1031. The peripheral wall of the rod body portion 1031 is arranged spaced apart from the cavity walls of the water inlet cavity 101A and the water outlet cavity 101B. The rod body portion 1031 is connected to the pressing assembly 104. The sealing portion 1032 is located in the water inlet cavity 101A. The sealing portion 1032 abuts against the spring 105. The surface of the sealing portion 1032 facing away from the spring 105 is the sealing surface 103A.

[0059] The rod body part 1031 serves as the main structure of the push rod, and its peripheral wall is kept at a certain interval from the cavity wall of the water inlet cavity 101 A and the water outlet cavity 101 B. This design not only avoids direct friction between the rod body part 1031 and the cavity wall, reducing wear and energy consumption, but also provides a smooth channel for the flow of fluid between the water inlet cavity 101 A and the water outlet cavity 101 B.

[0060] The sealing part 1032, as a key component of the push rod, is located in the water inlet cavity 101 A and abuts against the spring 105. It should be noted that the side of the sealing part 1032 away from the sealing surface 103 A forms a stepped surface, which not only provides a stable support point for the spring 105, but also makes the fixation of the spring 105 more secure and reliable. The surface of the sealing part 1032 away from the spring 105 is designed as the sealing surface 103 A. When the sealing surface 103 A is in contact with the first sealing ring 102 and the sealing surface 103 A covers the communication port 101 C, sufficient sealing pressure can be generated to ensure that fluid does not leak from the sealing surface 103 A. In addition, the ring structure of the sealing part 1032 not only enhances the overall stability of the push rod, but also allows the sealing surface 103 A to be evenly distributed around the peripheral side of the rod body part 1031, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the seal. When the valve rod 103 moves under the drive of the pressing assembly 104, the contact area and contact pressure between the sealing surface 103 A and the sealing element can be evenly distributed, further enhancing the sealing effect.

[0061] Further, the projection of the sealing part 1032 covers the first sealing ring 102 along the axial direction of the rod body part 1031. First, this covering design ensures that the contact area between the sealing part 1032 and the first sealing ring 102 is maximized. When the valve rod 103 moves under the drive of the pressing assembly 104, the sealing part 1032 can tightly fit on the first sealing ring 102, and due to the complete coverage of the projection, the contact area between the two is fully guaranteed. This not only enhances the reliability of the seal, but also improves the pressure-bearing capacity of the sealing surface 103 A, so that the mechanical valve 100 can maintain stable sealing effect in high-pressure environment. Second, this design helps to reduce the risk of fluid leakage. Since the projection of the sealing part 1032 completely covers the first sealing ring 102, even under adverse conditions such as long-term operation of the mechanical valve 100 or external impact, fluid leakage from the small gap between the sealing surface 103 A and the first sealing ring 102 can be effectively prevented. This not only improves the sealing performance of the mechanical valve 100, but also prolongs its service life, reduces maintenance costs and downtime due to leakage.

[0062] Reference Figure 13In some structural forms, the first sealing ring 102 is provided with an annular protrusion 1021 on the side close to the sealing surface 103A, and the annular protrusion 1021 is arranged around the communication port 101C. In this way, when the first sealing ring 102 is in contact with the sealing surface 103A, the annular protrusion 1021 can effectively block the leakage of fluid like a barrier. The presence of the annular protrusion 1021 actually converts the traditional face seal into a more efficient line seal. Compared with face seal, line seal can provide more concentrated sealing pressure. Since the annular protrusion 1021 is arranged around the communication port 101C, when the first sealing ring 102 is under pressure, the annular protrusion 1021 will tightly adhere to the sealing surface 103A, forming a continuous and tight sealing line. This sealing method not only improves the reliability of the seal, but also reduces the risk of leakage caused by uneven or worn sealing surface 103A. In addition, the design of the annular protrusion 1021 also enhances the durability of the first sealing ring 102. In the long-term use process, even if the sealing surface 103A is worn to a certain extent, the annular protrusion 1021 can still maintain its structural integrity and continue to provide effective sealing. This design not only prolongs the service life of the first sealing ring 102, but also reduces the maintenance cost caused by seal failure.

[0063] By way of reference Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 In some structural forms, the mechanical valve 100 further comprises a second sealing ring 106 and a pressing plate 107. The valve body 101 is provided with an annular protrusion 101e on the side close to the pressing assembly 104, and the annular protrusion 101e is provided with a through hole 107B communicating with the water outlet cavity 101B. The valve rod 103 is at least partially arranged through the through hole 107B and connected with the pressing assembly 104. The second sealing ring 106 is sleeved on the peripheral side of the valve rod 103, the pressing plate 107 is connected with the annular protrusion 101e and abuts against the second sealing ring 106 to be fixed in the through hole 107B.

[0064] The structure of the annular protrusion 101e not only enhances the overall strength of the valve body 101, but also the through hole 107B opened on the annular protrusion 101e to ensure that the valve rod 103 can be smoothly threaded therein and stably connected with the pressing assembly 104. The second sealing ring 106 is sleeved on the peripheral side of the valve rod 103, which makes the second sealing ring 106 closely fit on the gap between the valve rod 103 and the through hole 107B, thereby effectively preventing the fluid from leaking from the through hole 107B to the pressing assembly 104. The high elasticity and wear resistance of the second sealing ring 106 enable it to maintain stable sealing performance during long-term use, providing strong support for the reliable operation of the mechanical valve 100. The pressing plate 107 is firmly connected with the annular protrusion 101e and closely abuts against the second sealing ring 106. This design not only ensures that the second sealing ring 106 can be stably fixed in the through hole 107B to prevent it from being displaced or falling off under high pressure, but also further enhances the sealing effect between the second sealing ring 106 and the valve rod 103 and the valve body 101 through the pressing action of the pressing plate 107. The introduction of the pressing plate 107 not only improves the sealing performance of the mechanical valve 100, but also provides strong guarantee for its long-term stable operation.

[0065] Further, the surface of the pressing plate 107 facing the annular protrusion 101e is provided with a clamping groove 107A, and the annular protrusion 101e is clamped in the clamping groove 107A. The introduction of the clamping groove 107A makes the connection between the pressing plate 107 and the annular protrusion 101e more firm. When the pressing plate 107 is installed on the valve body 101, the annular protrusion 101e will naturally be clamped into the clamping groove 107A, forming a tight and not easy to loosen connection. This connection method not only simplifies the installation process and reduces the installation difficulty, but also improves the reliability and durability of the connection. At the same time, the design of the clamping groove 107A also enhances the sealing performance of the mechanical valve 100. Since the annular protrusion 101e is firmly clamped in the clamping groove 107A, the gap between it and the pressing plate 107 is effectively reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of fluid leakage from this gap. This design detail not only improves the sealing effect of the mechanical valve 100, but also provides strong guarantee for its stable operation in various harsh environments such as high pressure and high temperature.

[0066] Optionally, the pressing assembly 104 is clamped and fixed with the valve body 101, and abuts against the side of the pressing plate 107 away from the annular protrusion 101e. The introduction of clamping and fixing makes the connection between the pressing assembly 104 and the valve body 101 more firm and reliable. A tight and not easy to loosen connection is formed. This connection method not only simplifies the assembly process, reduces the assembly difficulty, but also improves the overall strength and durability of the mechanical valve 100. At the same time, the pressing assembly 104 abuts against the side of the pressing plate 107 away from the annular protrusion 101e, which further enhances the sealing performance of the mechanical valve 100. Since the pressing assembly 104 and the pressing plate 107 form a tight contact, the gap between them is effectively reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of fluid leakage from the gap. This design detail not only improves the sealing effect of the mechanical valve 100, but also provides a strong guarantee for its stable operation in various harsh environments such as high pressure and high temperature.

[0067] With reference to Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the valve body 101 includes a valve shell 1011 and an end cover 1012, the valve shell 1011 is provided with a water outlet cavity 101B, the valve shell 1011 is connected with the end cover 1012 and encloses to form a water inlet cavity 101A, the valve shell 1011 is provided with a mounting portion 101a on the side facing the end cover 1012, and the pressing assembly 104 is connected to the end of the valve shell 1011 away from the end cover 1012. The valve shell 1011 is provided with a water outlet hole 101d communicating with the water outlet cavity 101B and a water inlet hole 101c communicating with the water inlet cavity 101A, and the water outlet hole 101d and the water inlet hole 101c are located on the same side of the valve shell 1011.

[0068] It can be understood that the valve shell 1011 is specifically open at both ends, and the button assembly and the end cover 1012 are connected to the valve body 101 and cover the open ends at both ends. The end cover 1012 and the valve shell 1011 can be connected by buckling or screwing or other detachable ways, and the end cover 1012 and the valve shell 1011 together form a water inlet cavity 101A. In this way, during assembly, the first sealing ring 102, the spring 105 and other components can be placed in the predetermined position of the valve shell 1011 or the end cover 1012, and then the valve shell 1011 and the end cover 1012 are tightly combined together. In this way, the first sealing ring 102, the spring 105 and other components can be firmly fixed in the valve body 101, ensuring that they will not displace or fall off during operation, thereby ensuring the sealing performance and stability of the mechanical valve 100. When the first sealing ring 102, the spring 105 and other components need to be repaired or replaced, the valve shell 1011 and the end cover 1012 can be separated, and then the components to be replaced can be conveniently taken out for replacement or repair. In addition, the groove designed on the side of the end cover 1012 towards the valve body 101 is specially used to accommodate the spring 105. Such a detail not only improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the valve body 101, but also further enhances the overall performance of the valve body 101. The water outlet hole 101d and the water inlet hole 101c are located on the same side of the valve shell 1011. This design makes the valve body 101 more convenient to connect with the waterway in the future, reducing the installation difficulty.

[0069] Referring to Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 201 includes a frame body 2011 connected with a connecting block 2012, the frame body 2011 is connected with the second mounting portion 202, and the connecting block 2012 is provided with a plurality of clamping protrusions 201A, and the plurality of clamping protrusions 201A form a limiting clamping groove 201B. The frame body 2011 serves as the basis of the entire first mounting portion 201 and bears the responsibility of connecting with the second mounting portion 202, ensuring the close connection of the mounting portion 101a with other parts of the system. The clamping protrusions 201A of the connecting block 2012 form the limiting clamping groove 201B in a relatively simple and direct way. This simple form not only reduces the manufacturing cost, but also makes the entire first mounting portion 201 have a more lightweight appearance while maintaining high strength. The linear or curved shape of the clamping protrusions 201A is carefully selected according to actual needs, which not only meets the requirements of structural strength, but also facilitates processing and installation.

[0070] Further, the connecting block 2012 has a first through hole 201C, the first protrusion 108 has a first connecting hole 1081 corresponding to the first through hole 201C, and the valve assembly 10 further comprises a first fastener sequentially penetrating through the first connecting hole 1081 and the first through hole 201C to fix the first protrusion 108 with the connecting block 2012. Wherein, the first connecting hole 1081 and the first through hole 201C can be threaded holes, and the first fastener can be a screw, which is used to further fix the first protrusion 108 with the connecting block 2012, thereby further improving the stability of the installation of the mechanical valve 100, and the fixing mode is simple to operate and easy to disassemble, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance.

[0071] With reference to Figure 9 Optionally, the first mounting portion 201 further comprises a support block 2013 connected with the frame body 2011 and located on the same side of the frame body 2011 as the connecting block 2012, and the support block 2013 abuts against part of the bottom surface of the valve body 101 of each mechanical valve 100. It should be noted that the support block 2013 can be an integral structure with the frame body 2011 to ensure the structural strength of the support block 2013. The support block 2013 and the connecting block 2012 are located on the same side of the frame body 2011, which not only maintains the compactness of the structure, but also ensures that the support block 2013 can fully play its supporting role. Through the contact between the support block 2013 and the bottom surface of the valve body 101, the mechanical valve 100 is additionally supported during installation. This support not only shares the pressure of the valve body 101 on the connecting block 2012, but also enhances the stability of the entire installation structure. When the mechanical valve 100 is in a working state, the presence of the support block 2013 can effectively prevent the valve body 101 from deforming or shifting due to uneven stress, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the mechanical valve 100.

[0072] Further, the support block 2013 is provided with a second through hole 201a, and the mechanical valve 100 further comprises a second protrusion 109 connected to a side of the valve body 101 away from the first protrusion 108. The second protrusion 109 has a second connecting hole 1091 corresponding to the second through hole 201a. The valve assembly 10 further comprises a second fastener sequentially penetrating through the second connecting hole 1091 and the second through hole 201a to fix the second protrusion 109 to the connecting portion. The second protrusion 109 can be integrated with the valve body 101 to ensure the structural strength. Meanwhile, the second protrusion 109 is located on the other side of the valve body 101 opposite to the first protrusion 108, forming a symmetrical layout to balance the fixing stress of the mechanical valve 100. A second connecting hole 1091 is arranged on the second protrusion 109 and matched with the second through hole 201a in the support block 2013, which ensures accurate butt joint of the two. In order to firmly connect the second protrusion 109 to the connecting portion of the support block 2013, the valve assembly 10 is further provided with a second fastener. During assembly, the second fastener is sequentially penetrated through the second connecting hole 1091 and the second through hole 201a, and is effectively fixed to the connecting portion through fastening, thereby improving the structural strength and stability of the mechanical valve 100. It should be noted that the second fastener can be the same as the first fastener, i.e. a screw, and the second through hole 201a and the second connecting hole 1091 are screw holes.

[0073] With reference to Figure 9 Optionally, the first mounting portion 201 further comprises a reinforcing rib 2014 connected to the frame body 2011 and the support block 2013. The reinforcing rib 2014 can effectively share the load borne by the frame body 2011 and reduce the risk of deformation or damage caused by external force. Meanwhile, it can more tightly connect the frame body 2011 and the support block 2013 into a whole, improving the cooperative working ability and durability of the whole structure. Therefore, by introducing the reinforcing rib 2014, the load bearing capacity and anti-deformation ability of the frame body 2011 are improved, and the reliability and safety of the whole structure are further ensured.

[0074] With reference to Figure 9In some embodiments, the water inlet hole 101c and the water outlet hole 101d of each mechanical valve 100 are located on the same side of the valve bracket 200. This can greatly simplify the subsequent connection work of the waterway assembly 30, reduce the installation difficulty, and also reduce the potential leakage risk caused by the complex waterway assembly 30. In addition, this layout is also beneficial to improve the flow efficiency of the fluid, because the flow path of the fluid in the valve bracket 200 is more direct and smooth, reducing unnecessary turning and resistance. Furthermore, from the perspective of maintenance, the water inlet hole 101c and the water outlet hole 101d on the same side also facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the staff, improving the overall maintainability.

[0075] Further, the valve assembly 10 further comprises a water inlet member 300, which comprises a water inlet port 301 and at least two water outlet ports 302 in communication. The water inlet member 300 is connected with each mechanical valve 100, and each water outlet port 302 is in communication with the water inlet hole 101c of one mechanical valve 100. Such a design enables the water inlet member 300 to serve as a central node for distributing fluid, effectively introducing fluid from a single water inlet port 301 and distributing it to multiple water outlet ports 302. More importantly, the water inlet member 300 establishes a close connection relationship with each mechanical valve 100, ensuring smooth fluid transmission. Specifically, each water outlet port 302 is in direct communication with the water inlet hole 101c of one mechanical valve 100, thereby achieving accurate distribution and transmission of fluid from the water inlet member 300 to each mechanical valve 100. Such a design not only improves the efficiency of fluid transmission, but also ensures that each mechanical valve 100 can simultaneously and uniformly obtain the required fluid, thereby improving the working performance and reliability of the entire valve assembly 10.
