[0004] In this invention, according to a preferred embodiment, a thick-film heating element is installed outside the hot water outlet pipe to form a linear thick-film heating element. The linear thick-film heating element 8 has an inlet end and an outlet end. An inlet water temperature measuring module 81 is installed at the inlet end, and an outlet water temperature measuring module 82 is installed at the outlet end. The linear thick-film heating element 8 has both an automatic temperature control device and a manual temperature control device.

[0005] The linear thick film heating element 8 has the advantages of more uniform heating, less scaling and less cracking after long-term use, and thus a longer service life, which is superior to conventional quartz glass heating elements or stainless steel heating elements.

[0006] Linear thick-film heating elements are commercially available products, and those skilled in the art have mastered the technology of setting temperature control devices for heating elements.

[0007] According to a preferred embodiment, the inlet water temperature measurement module 81 and the outlet water temperature measurement module 82 are NTC temperature sensors.

[0008] Preferably, the raw water tank 1 has a raw water tank inlet and a raw water tank outlet. The raw water tank inlet is connected to the municipal water supply port through a tap water pipeline.

Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a diagram of the water circuit structure of the water purifier of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The following embodiments are used to explain the technical solution of this utility model in a non-limiting manner.

[0017] Example 1

[0018] like Figure 1The water purifier shown includes a raw water tank 1, a booster pump 2, a primary filter element 31 and a secondary filter element 32 connected in series, a reversing valve 4, a purified water tank 5, a concentrated water tank 6, a heating element 7, a linear thick film heater 8, and a water outlet faucet.

[0019] The raw water tank 1 is connected to the municipal water supply port via a tap water pipeline and is equipped with an inlet solenoid valve 11 and a leakage protection device 12. When a leak occurs in the raw water tank 1 or the tap water pipeline, the absorbent cotton in the leakage protection device 12 expands upon contact with water, pushing the inlet solenoid valve 11 to cut off the tap water supply during the expansion process. The inlet solenoid valve 11 is controlled to open to replenish water to the tank when needed by the water purifier, and cuts off the tap water supply when the tank is full to prevent water hammer from damaging the water purifier tank. The raw water tank 1 is also equipped with a high water level sensor 13, a low water level sensor 14, and a raw water TDS meter 15 located at the bottom of the water phase. The outlet of the raw water tank is connected to the booster pump 2 via a pipeline. After tap water enters the raw water tank 1, the water level sensor fixed on the tank controls whether to replenish water. When the water level is high, the inlet solenoid valve 11 is closed; when the water level is low, the inlet solenoid valve 11 is open. In addition, the filter screen at the bottom of the water tank can prevent scale buildup from occurring in areas with poor water quality after long-term use.

[0020] The raw water tank 1 is also equipped with a drainage branch for customers to drain the cleaning water after cleaning the tank or to drain the tap water in the tank when it is not in use for a long time. Customers can also use it in environments without tap water by adding water through a kettle.

[0021] Tap water is pressurized by booster pump 2 and enters primary filter element 31 and secondary filter element 32 to remove large particles and most of the residual chlorine. The resulting concentrated water is discharged from the concentrated water end of secondary filter element 32. The amount of concentrated water discharged can be controlled by a combination flushing valve 61 and a concentrated water solenoid valve 62. The concentrated water is discharged into concentrated water tank 6 or used to set up concentrated water branch lines to rinse products, realizing the reuse of concentrated water. A concentrated water level detection device 63 is installed on concentrated water tank 6.

[0022] The water outlet of the secondary filter element 32, after passing through the reversing valve 4, is either returned to the booster pump 2 via a one-way valve, or connected to the inlet of the water purification tank 5. The water purification tank 5 is equipped with a water purification tank vent 51 and a UV sterilization device 52. It also includes a high water level sensor 53, a low water level sensor 54, and a purified water TDS meter 55 located at the bottom of the tank. The water purification tank 5 has two outlets: one is where the ambient temperature water pump 93 pumps water from the tank through a thick-film heater to the outlet; the other is where the water is sent to the inlet of the heating element 7 via the water supply valve 91.

[0023] The heating element 7 is equipped with a high water level sensor 73, a low water level sensor 74, and a thermometer 72. The heating element also has an exhaust port to prevent excessive internal pressure. The outlet of the heating element 7 is connected to the linear thick film heating element 8 through a purified water / hot water pipeline and is equipped with a purified water / hot water pump 92.

[0024] Water from the purified water tank flows into the heating element through the water supply valve 91, and the water from the heating element outlet 8 is reheated by the thick-film heating element. The first NTC temperature sensor 81 and the second NTC temperature sensor 82 on the thick-film heating element ensure the temperature and speed of the water outlet. Through this reheating method, the temperature of the hot water in Longkou is kept stable.
