DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0088] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not used to limit the present application.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 1-2 The embodiment of the present application provides a filter cartridge assembly 100 and a water purifier 1000, wherein the filter cartridge assembly 100 comprises a waterway board 110, a pre-treatment filter cartridge 100a, a reverse osmosis filter cartridge 100b and a waste water valve 180.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 2 The waterway board 110 comprises a board body 111, a plurality of filter cartridge mounting seats 112 arranged on the board body 111 and a waterway configuration piece 113. The board body 111 and the filter cartridge mounting seat 112 can be integrally formed, or the board body 111 and the filter cartridge mounting seat 112 can be detachably connected, which is not specifically limited herein. The board body 111 can be made of various materials. The board body 111 can be made of metal material, or the board body 111 can be made of relatively hard plastic material, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 3The central axes of the plurality of filter element mounting seats 112 define a central axial surface 114, and the plurality of filter element mounting seats 112 at least includes a first mounting seat 1121 and a second mounting seat 1122. It can be understood that the number of filter element mounting seats 112 is at least two, one of which is the first mounting seat 1121, and the other of which is the second mounting seat 1122. The filter element mounting seat 112 can also include a third mounting seat 1123, a fourth mounting seat 1124, etc., which is not specifically limited here. It should be noted that each filter element mounting seat 112 is located on the central axial surface 114, and it can be understood that the plurality of filter element mounting seats 112 are arranged in the same direction.

[0092] The filter element mounting seat 112 can be made of metal material, and the filter element mounting seat 112 can also be made of relatively hard plastic material, which is not specifically limited here. The shape of the filter element mounting seat 112 can be cylindrical, the filter element mounting seat 112 can also be a boss, and the filter element mounting seat 112 can also be other shapes, as long as it matches the corresponding filter element, which is not specifically limited here.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 4 The waterway component 113 has a waterway 1131 that sequentially communicates the plurality of filter element mounting seats 112. The waterway component 113 can be made of metal material, and the waterway component 113 can also be made of relatively hard plastic material, which is not specifically limited here. The waterway component 113 can be integrally formed with the filter element mounting seat 112, and the waterway component 113 can also be detachably connected with the filter element mounting seat 112, which is not specifically limited here. Preferably, the waterway component 113 is integrally formed with the filter element mounting seat 112, so that water in the waterway 1131 can be prevented from leaking out through the gap between the waterway component 113 and the filter element mounting seat 112.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 4 The pre-treatment filter element 100a is coaxially mounted with the first mounting seat 1121 to access the waterway 1131. The pre-treatment filter element 100a can be one or more of a stainless steel filter, a PP cotton filter, a ceramic filter, a compressed filter, and an activated carbon filter, which is not specifically limited here. The pre-treatment filter element 100a can remove visible impurities such as silt, rust, and insect eggs in water. The pre-treatment filter element 100a can be mounted on the first mounting seat 1121 in many ways. The pre-treatment filter element 100a can be inserted into the first mounting seat 1121, and the pre-treatment filter element 100a can also be rotatably buckled to the first mounting seat 1121, which is not specifically limited here.

[0095] Please refer toFigure 4 The reverse osmosis filter 100b is coaxially installed with the second mounting seat 1122 to access the water channel 1131, and is located downstream of the pretreatment filter 100a in the water flow direction. It can be understood that the tap water first passes through the pretreatment filter 100a before entering the reverse osmosis filter 100b. The reverse osmosis filter 100b can be composed of one or more of cellulose acetate, polyamide, etc. The main functions of the reverse osmosis filter 100b include filtering microorganisms, removing suspended solids, removing organic matter, removing heavy metals, etc., thereby effectively purifying water quality and ensuring the safety and hygiene of the water quality. There are many ways to install the reverse osmosis filter 100b in the second mounting seat 1122. The reverse osmosis filter 100b can be installed in the second mounting seat 1122 by plug-in, or can be installed in the second mounting seat 1122 by rotating and buckling, which is not specifically limited here.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 4 The wastewater valve 180 is located on one side of the central axis surface 114. The wastewater valve 180 is arranged on the water channel component 113 and communicates with the wastewater outlet of the reverse osmosis filter 100b through the water channel 1131, allowing the wastewater of the reverse osmosis filter 100b to flow out of the water outlet of the water channel plate 110 in one direction only. Part of the water will flush away the minerals and pollutants deposited on the membrane surface of the reverse osmosis filter 100b, and will be discharged from the water outlet of the water channel plate 110 through the wastewater outlet of the reverse osmosis filter 100b and the wastewater pipeline, thereby ensuring that the water production and desalination of the reverse osmosis filter 100b do not decrease, and ensuring the filtering effect. The wastewater valve 180 can prevent the wastewater of the water outlet of the water channel plate 110 from flowing back into the reverse osmosis filter 100b.

[0097] The filter assembly 100 and the water purifier 1000 in the embodiments of the present application arrange the wastewater valve 180 on the water channel component 113, and the wastewater valve 180 is located on one side of the central axis surface 114. The space on both sides of the central axis surface 114 of the water channel component 113 is fully utilized, thereby reducing the volume of the water channel plate 110, and further reducing the overall volume of the water purifier 1000.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 1 The filter assembly 100 further comprises a pressure tank 150 and a one-way valve 160. The pressure tank 150 communicates with the water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter 100b through the water channel 1131, and stores the water filtered by the reverse osmosis filter 100b when the water purifier 1000 stops discharging water. The more water in the pressure tank 150, the greater the pressure generated, and vice versa.

[0099] Considering that the slow filtering efficiency of the reverse osmosis filter 100b can result in low water outlet efficiency of the water purifier 1000, by arranging the pressure tank 150 downstream of the reverse osmosis filter 100b, the pressure tank 150 can store the water filtered by the reverse osmosis filter 100b, and when the water purifier 1000 resumes water outlet, the pressure tank 150 can quickly supply water to the user, thereby improving the water outlet efficiency of the water purifier 1000.

[0100] The pressure tank 150 and the water channel 1131 can be connected in many ways, for example, the water channel structure 113 has an external interface connected with the water channel 1131, and the pressure tank 150 is connected with the external interface through an external pipe, and for example, the pressure tank 150 is directly installed on the water channel structure 113, and the water inlet and outlet of the pressure tank 150 are directly connected with the water channel 1131, which is not limited here. Since the pressure tank 150 has a large volume, when the pressure tank 150 is directly installed on the water channel structure 113, the water channel structure 113 needs to have a large volume to provide sufficient installation space for the pressure tank 150. Therefore, preferably, the pressure tank 150 is connected with the water channel 1131 through an external pipe, so that the user can place the pressure tank 150 according to the actual needs, thereby facilitating the user to place the water purifier 1000.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 3 The one-way valve 160 is arranged between the reverse osmosis filter 100b and the pressure tank 150, and only allows the water of the reverse osmosis filter 100b to flow to the pressure tank 150 in one direction. The one-way valve 160 can prevent the pressure of the pressure tank 150 from affecting the reverse osmosis filter 100b. The one-way valve 160 can be arranged in many positions on the water channel structure 113, and the one-way valve 160 can be arranged in the water channel 1131 or on the outer circumferential side of the water channel structure 113, which is not limited here. Preferably, the one-way valve 160 is arranged on the water channel structure 113 and located on the side away from the three-way valve 140 of the central axial surface 114, so that the space on both sides of the central axial surface 114 of the water channel structure 113 can be fully utilized, and more space can be provided for the installation of the three-way valve 140 and the one-way valve 160, thereby facilitating the assembly of the filter assembly 100.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 3The filter element assembly 100 further comprises a three-way valve 140, which is installed on the water channel component 113 and located on one side of the central axis surface 114. The first water inlet of the three-way valve 140 is communicated with the water outlet of the pre-treatment filter element 100a through the water channel 1131. The water outlet of the three-way valve 140 is communicated with the water inlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 100b through the water channel 1131. The pressure tank 150 is communicated with the second water inlet of the three-way valve 140 through the water channel 1131. Since the pressure tank 150 is communicated with the second water inlet of the three-way valve 140, the pressure of the pressure tank 150 is the same as the pressure of the second water inlet of the three-way valve 140.

[0103] The installation position of the three-way valve 140 can be various. The three-way valve 140 can be located on the side of the first mounting seat 1121 away from the second mounting seat 1122. The three-way valve 140 can also be located on the side of the second mounting seat 1122 away from the first mounting seat 1121. The three-way valve 140 can also be located between the first mounting seat 1121 and the second mounting seat 1122. Preferably, the three-way valve 140 is located between the first mounting seat 1121 and the second mounting seat 1122. In this way, the length of the water channel 1131, which is communicated between the first water inlet of the three-way valve 140 and the pre-treatment filter element 100a, and the length of the water channel 1131, which is communicated between the water outlet of the three-way valve 140 and the water inlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 100b, can be shortened. Thus, the volume of the water channel component 113 can be reduced, and the volume of the water purifier 1000 can be further reduced.

[0104] The three-way valve 140 can be installed on the water channel component 113 in various ways. The three-way valve 140 can be installed on the water channel component 113 by screw connection. The three-way valve 140 can also be installed on the water channel component 113 by buckling. The specific installation manner is not limited herein.

[0105] It should be noted that when the pressure of the second water inlet of the three-way valve 140 is greater than the pressure of the first water inlet of the three-way valve 140, the three-way valve 140 will disconnect the communication relationship between the first water inlet and the water outlet. When the pressure of the second water inlet of the three-way valve 140 is less than the pressure of the first water inlet of the three-way valve 140, the three-way valve 140 will restore the communication relationship between the first water inlet and the water outlet.

[0106] When the water purifier 1000 stops water output, the filter element assembly 100 will continue to filter tap water under the influence of the tap water pressure. At this time, the pressure of the first water inlet of the three-way valve 140 is the tap water pressure. The tap water will enter the pressure tank 150 in sequence through the pre-treatment filter element 100a, the three-way valve 140 and the reverse osmosis filter element 100b. The water stored in the pressure tank 150 gradually increases, so that the pressure in the pressure tank 150 gradually increases. When the water pressure in the pressure tank 150 is greater than the tap water pressure, the three-way valve 140 will disconnect the communication relationship between the first water inlet and the water outlet.

[0107] When the water purifier 1000 resumes water output, the pressure tank 150 will flow the stored water into the water channel 1131, and the pressure tank 150 gradually reduces the stored water, so that the pressure in the pressure tank 150 gradually decreases, the pressure of the second water inlet of the three-way valve 140 is less than that of the first water inlet, the three-way valve 140 restores the communication relationship between the first water inlet and the water outlet, and the filter element assembly 100 is driven by the water pressure of tap water to filter the tap water.

[0108] In this way, the three-way valve 140 is arranged on the water channel structure 113, and the three-way valve 140 is located on one side of the central axis surface 114. The space on both sides of the central axis surface 114 of the water channel structure 113 is fully utilized, thereby reducing the volume of the water channel plate 110, and further reducing the volume of the water purifier 1000. Further, by arranging the pressure tank 150 downstream of the reverse osmosis filter element 100b, the water output efficiency of the water purifier 1000 is increased. At the same time, the three-way valve 140 cooperates with the pressure tank 150 to realize the on-off of the water channel 1131, so as to avoid the continuous water inlet of the pressure tank 150, which causes the pressure in the pressure tank 150 to be too high, resulting in the rupture of the pressure tank 150 or the water channel structure 113 due to high pressure, thereby improving the reliability of the whole machine.

[0109] Further, the wastewater valve 180 and the three-way valve 140 are located on the same side of the central axis surface 114. It can be understood that the wastewater valve 180 and the three-way valve 140 are located on one side of the central axis surface 114, and the check valve 160 is located on the other side of the central axis surface 114. In this way, the space on the side of the central axis surface 114 where the wastewater valve 180 is arranged can be fully utilized, thereby reducing the volume of the filter element assembly 100, and at the same time, the check valve 160 and the three-way valve 140 can be avoided. Interference, thereby facilitating the installation of the check valve 160, the three-way valve 140 and the wastewater valve 180 on the water channel structure 113.

[0110] The filter element assembly 100 is provided with a pressure pipe 170 to communicate the pressure tank 150 with the second water inlet, one end of the pressure pipe 170 is communicated with the water outlet of the one-way valve 160 and the pressure tank 150, and the other end of the pressure pipe 170 is communicated with the second water inlet of the three-way valve 140. Considering that the pressure pipe 170 needs to cross the second mounting seat 1122 first to be communicated with the three-way valve 140, and the connection positions of the pressure pipe 170 and the three-way valve 140 are all located on the same side of the middle axial surface 114 where the three-way valve 140 is arranged, which will cause the side of the middle axial surface 114 where the three-way valve 140 is arranged to be relatively compact and complicated. Therefore, the pressure pipe 170 is installed on the water channel component 113 and located on the side of the middle axial surface 114 away from the three-way valve 140. At this time, the first water inlet, the second water inlet and the water outlet of the three-way valve 140 are all arranged on the surface of the three-way valve 140 facing the middle axial surface 114. In this way, the space of the water channel component 113 on both sides of the middle axial surface 114 can be fully utilized, and more space can be provided for the installation of the three-way valve 140 and the pressure pipe 170, thereby facilitating the assembly of the filter element assembly 100.

[0111] Further, referring to Figure 3 , the one-way valve 160 and the pressure pipe 170 are partially stacked and spaced apart in the vertical direction. In this way, the space of the pressure pipe 170 in the vertical direction can be fully utilized, thereby reducing the volume of the filter element assembly 100.

[0112] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the three-way valve 140 is located on the side of the second mounting seat 1122 close to the first mounting seat 1121, the one-way valve 160 and the waste water valve 180 are respectively located on both sides of the middle axial surface 114, and the one-way valve 160 and the waste water valve 180 are both located on the side of the second mounting seat 1122 away from the first mounting seat 1121. It can be understood that the second mounting seat 1122 is located between the three-way valve 140 and the waste water valve 180. In this way, the space of the water channel component 113 on both sides of the middle axial surface 114, and the space of the second mounting seat 1122 on both sides in the direction close to or away from the first mounting seat 1121 can be fully utilized, thereby reducing the volume of the filter element assembly 100.

[0113] Please refer to Figures 3-4In some embodiments of the present application, the plurality of filter element mounting seats 112 further comprises a fourth mounting seat 1124, and the filter element assembly 100 further comprises a post-treatment filter element 100d, which is coaxially mounted with the fourth mounting seat 1124 to access the water channel 1131, and downstream of the reverse osmosis filter element 100b in the water flow direction. In this way, by arranging the post-treatment filter element 100d, the substances such as color, odor and taste in the water are removed, and the macromolecular organic matter in the water is also adsorbed, thereby further improving the filtering effect of the water purifier 1000. The post-treatment filter element 100d can be a granular activated carbon filter element, and the post-treatment filter element 100d can also be a compressed activated carbon filter element, which is not specifically limited here.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 4 In this way, the distance between the water outlet of the one-way valve 160 and the second water outlet of the three-way valve 140 is reduced, thereby reducing the length of the pressure pipe 170, and further reducing the volume of the filter element assembly 100.

[0115] In this way, the distance between the water outlet of the one-way valve 160 and the second water outlet of the three-way valve 140 is reduced, thereby reducing the length of the pressure pipe 170, and further reducing the volume of the filter element assembly 100.

[0116] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the plurality of filter element mounting seats 112 further comprises a fifth mounting seat 1125, and the filter element assembly 100 further comprises a mineralization filter element 100e, which is coaxially mounted with the fifth mounting seat 1125 to access the water channel 1131, and downstream of the post-treatment filter element 100d in the water flow direction. In this way, the water quality can be further improved by the mineralization filter element 100e.

[0117] The main function of the mineralization filter element 100e is to supplement minerals and improve water quality. In addition, the mineralization filter element 100e also has the function of adjusting the pH value of the water. By adjusting the pH value of the water to a slightly alkaline environment, the mineralization filter element 100e helps to improve the taste and nutritional value of the water, making it more suitable for human health needs. Such treated water is not only healthier, but also has better penetration, diffusion, solubility, etc., thereby improving the overall quality of the water.

[0118] The mineralization filter element 100e is mainly a medical stone filter element. The medical stone filter element is a kind of compound mineral or medicinal rock which is non-toxic and harmless to organisms and has certain biological activity. In addition to the common Ca, Mg, Si, Al, Fe, K and Na, it also contains a small amount of rare elements, rare earth elements and radioactive elements. The medical stone has the properties of adsorption, solubility, PH regulation, biological activity and mineralization.

[0119] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the filter element assembly 100 further comprises a flow meter 120, which is installed on the waterway structure 113 to access the waterway 1131, and along the water flow direction, the flow meter 120 is located upstream of the pre-treatment filter element 100a, and the central axis surface 114 intersects the flow meter 120. In this way, the flow meter 120 accesses the waterway 1131 to detect the flow of the waterway 1131, so that it can be determined whether the filter element needs to be replaced according to the detection result, and the space in the waterway 1131 can be fully utilized to reduce the volume of the filter element assembly 100. The flow meter 120 and the circuit board 130 can be electrically connected by wires, and the flow meter 120 and the circuit board 130 can also be electrically connected by a wireless connection. Preferably, the flow meter 120 and the circuit board 130 can also be electrically connected by a wireless connection, which can prevent the water in the waterway 1131 from affecting the circuit board 130.

[0120] Further, the filter element assembly 100 further comprises an alarm and a circuit board 130, the circuit board 130 is electrically connected with the flow meter 120 and the alarm, and the circuit board 130 can control the alarm to work according to the detection result of the flow meter 120. In this way, the circuit board 130 can determine through the detection structure of the flow meter 120, when the flow detected by the flow meter 120 reaches the preset value, the circuit board 130 will control the alarm to work to prompt the user to replace the filter element of the filter element assembly 100.

[0121] Specifically, the filter element assembly 100 further comprises a battery, which is electrically connected with the circuit board 130, and the battery is used to power the circuit board 130, the flow meter 120 and the alarm. In this way, the circuit board 130 is powered by the battery, so that the filter element assembly 100 does not need to be externally connected to the power supply, thereby improving the practicability of the filter element assembly 100. There are many types of batteries, and the battery can be a lithium ion button type, or a lithium manganese button type, which is not limited here.

[0122] Referring to Figure 4In some embodiments of the present application, the waterway plate 110 has a receiving groove 115 located at one side of the central axial surface 114, and the circuit board 130, the alarm and the battery are all installed in the receiving groove 115. In this way, the waterway plate 110 can protect the circuit board 130, the alarm and the battery. The shape of the receiving groove can be cylindrical or square, which is not limited here.

[0123] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the receiving groove 115 is arranged adjacent to the flow meter 120, so that the circuit board 130 can better receive the detection results of the flow meter 120.

[0124] Further, referring to Figure 4 , the filter element assembly 100 further comprises a cover 116 covering the opening of the receiving groove 115 to seal the receiving groove 115. In this way, the cover 116 and the receiving groove 115 cooperate to seal and protect the circuit board 130, thereby avoiding the water in the waterway 1131 from affecting the circuit board 130 and causing the circuit in the circuit board 130 to be short-circuited and damaged.

[0125] Referring to Figure 2 , in some embodiments of the present application, the plurality of filter element mounting seats 112 further comprise a third mounting seat 1123, and the filter element assembly 100 further comprises a PP cotton filter element 100c coaxially installed with the third mounting seat 1123 to access the waterway 1131, and along the water flow direction, the PP cotton filter element 100c is located upstream of the flow meter 120. In this way, the PP cotton filter element 100c can filter large particles in the water, thereby avoiding the large particles in the water from affecting the flow meter 120.

[0126] Specifically, referring to Figures 3-4The waterway 1131 includes a first flow channel 113a, a second flow channel 113b, a third flow channel 113c, a fourth flow channel 113d, a fifth flow channel 113e, a sixth flow channel 113g, a seventh flow channel 113h, an eighth flow channel 113i, and a wastewater passage 113f. One end of the first flow channel 113a is in communication with the water inlet of the waterway plate 110, and the other end of the first flow channel 113a is in communication with the water inlet of the PP cotton filter element 100c through the third mounting seat 1123. The water outlet of the PP cotton filter element 100c is in communication with the water inlet of the flow meter 120 through the third mounting seat 1123. One end of the second flow channel 113b is in communication with the water outlet of the flow meter 120, and the other end of the second flow channel 113b is in communication with the water inlet of the pretreatment filter element 100a through the first mounting seat 1121. One end of the third flow channel 113c is in communication with the water outlet of the pretreatment filter element 100a through the first mounting seat 1121, and the other end of the third flow channel 113c is in communication with the first water inlet of the three-way valve 140. One end of the fourth flow channel 113d is in communication with the water outlet of the three-way valve 140, and the other end of the fourth flow channel 113d is in communication with the water inlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 100b through the second mounting seat 1122. One end of the fifth flow channel 113e is in communication with the water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 100b through the second mounting seat 1122, and the other end of the fifth flow channel 113e is in communication with the water inlet of the one-way valve 160. One end of the sixth flow channel 113g is in communication with the water outlet of the one-way valve 160, and the other end of the sixth flow channel 113g is in communication with the pressure tank 150 and the water inlet of the post-treatment filter element 100d through the fourth mounting seat 1124, and is in communication with the second water inlet of the three-way valve 140 through the pressure pipe 170. One end of the seventh flow channel 113h is in communication with the water outlet of the post-treatment filter element 100d through the fourth mounting seat 1124, and the other end of the seventh flow channel 113h is in communication with the water inlet of the mineralization filter element 100e through the fifth mounting seat 1125. One end of the eighth flow channel 113i is in communication with the water outlet of the mineralization filter element 100e through the fifth mounting seat 1125, and the other end of the eighth flow channel 113i is in communication with the water outlet of the waterway plate 110. One end of the wastewater passage 113f is in communication with the wastewater outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 100b through the second mounting seat 1122, and the other end of the wastewater passage 113f is in communication with the wastewater valve 180.

[0127] When the water purifier 1000 starts to produce water, the water in the pressure tank 150 will enter the post-treatment filter 100d through the sixth flow channel 113g, and then sequentially pass through the seventh flow channel 113h, the mineralization filter 100e, and the eighth flow channel 113i to be discharged from the water outlet of the waterway board 110.

[0128] When the water purifier 1000 starts to produce water, the water in the pressure tank 150 will enter the post-treatment filter 100d through the sixth flow channel 113g, and then sequentially pass through the seventh flow channel 113h, the mineralization filter 100e, and the eighth flow channel 113i to be discharged from the water outlet of the waterway board 110.

[0129] When the water purifier 1000 starts to produce water, the water in the pressure tank 150 will enter the post-treatment filter 100d through the sixth flow channel 113g, and then sequentially pass through the seventh flow channel 113h, the mineralization filter 100e, and the eighth flow channel 113i to be discharged from the water outlet of the waterway board 110.

[0130] Generally, the post-treatment filter 100d adopts an activated carbon filter, which may have a slight carbon powder phenomenon when it is just used. The sixth flow channel 113g is connected to the post-treatment filter 100d and the pressure tank 150, so that the pressure tank 150 only stores the pure water filtered by the reverse osmosis filter 100b, thereby avoiding the carbon powder in the water filtered by the post-treatment filter 100d from remaining in the pressure tank 150 to affect the subsequent water quality. Meanwhile, the post-treatment filter 100d is arranged downstream of the pressure tank 150, so that the post-treatment filter 100d can play a role in deodorizing the water discharged from the pressure tank 150.

[0131] Please refer to Figures 3-4 , considering that the waste water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter 100b is located on the central axis of the reverse osmosis filter 100b, the central axis surface 114 transversely intersects the second flow channel 113b, the third flow channel 113c, the fourth flow channel 113d, the waste water passage 113f and the seventh flow channel 113h; the fifth flow channel 113e is located on the side of the central axis surface 114 where the one-way valve 160 is arranged. In this way, the space of the water channel structure 113 on the central axis surface 114 is fully utilized, and the fifth flow channel 113e is located on the side of the central axis surface 114 where the one-way valve 160 is arranged, thereby reducing the distance between the one-way valve 160 and the fifth flow channel 113e, effectively reducing the length of the fifth flow channel 113e, and facilitating the connection between the one-way valve 160 and the fifth flow channel 113e.

[0132] Further, please refer to Figure 5 , the inner wall surface of the sixth flow channel 113g close to the post-treatment filter 100d is concavely provided with an avoiding groove 113j, the groove bottom of the avoiding groove 113j is communicated with the water inlet of the post-treatment filter 100d, and the avoiding groove 113j is located between the connecting port of the water channel 1131 connected to the pressure tank 150 and the one-way valve 160. In this way, when the water purifier 1000 starts to discharge water, the water flowing into the sixth flow channel 113g through the one-way valve 160 will first enter the avoiding groove 113j, and the water of the pressure tank 150 will also first enter the avoiding groove 113j, thereby avoiding the water flowing into the sixth flow channel 113g through the one-way valve 160 and the water of the pressure tank 150 from affecting each other to cause the water to be unable to smoothly enter the post-treatment filter 100d.

[0133] Preferably, the inner wall surface of the sixth flow channel 113g is further convexly provided with two water blocking portions 113k, and the avoiding groove 113j is located between the two water blocking portions 113k, so that the water of the pressure tank 150 and the water flowing into the sixth flow channel 113g through the one-way valve 160 will enter the avoiding groove 113j after crossing the two water blocking portions 113k, respectively, thereby further avoiding the water flowing into the sixth flow channel 113g through the one-way valve 160 and the water of the pressure tank 150 from affecting each other.

[0134] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the central axes of two adjacent filter seat 112 is a, wherein 57mm≤a≤141mm. In this way, the volume of the filter assembly 100 can be reduced, and preferably the distance between the central axes of two adjacent filter seat 112 is 82.5mm.

[0135] For a better understanding of the present application, reference will be made to the following drawings: Figures 6-7 In some embodiments of the present application, the pre-treatment filter 100a comprises a filter body 101a and a driving part 102a, the driving part 102a is installed on the filter body 101a, the filter body 101a can be integrally formed with the driving part 102a, or the filter body 101a can be detachably connected with the driving part 102a, which is not specifically limited here.

[0136] Each filter seat 112 has the same structure, and it can be understood that the structures of the first seat 1121, the second seat 1122, the third seat 1123, the fourth seat 1124, and the fifth seat 1125 are the same. Taking the first seat 1121 as an example, the first seat 1121 comprises a seat body 112a, a rotating part 112b, and a transmission part 112c, the seat body 112a is in communication with the waterway 1131, the rotating part 112b is rotatably installed on the seat body 112a to communicate or block the waterway 1131, and the transmission part 112c is arranged on the rotating part 112b; wherein the driving part 102a can be inserted and matched with the corresponding transmission part 112c to drive the rotating part 112b to rotate. In this way, when the user replaces the pre-treatment filter 100a, the driving part 102a will drive the transmission part 112c to move to drive the rotating part 112b to rotate to block the waterway 1131, thereby achieving the disassembly of the filter and stopping the water outlet. When the user installs the pre-treatment filter 100a, the driving part 102a of the pre-treatment filter 100a is inserted and matched with the transmission part 112c of the rotating part 112b, and then the pre-treatment filter 100a is rotated, the driving part 102a will drive the transmission part 112c to move to drive the rotating part 112b to rotate to communicate the waterway 1131.

[0137] Further, for a better understanding of the present application, reference will be made to the following drawings: Figures 6-7 The pre-treatment filter 100a further comprises a guide part 103a, the guide part 103a is installed on the filter body 101a, the filter body 101a can be integrally formed with the guide part 103a, or the filter body 101a can be detachably connected with the guide part 103a, which is not specifically limited here.

[0138] The seat body 112a is provided with a mounting groove 112d, the rotating piece 112b is rotatably mounted at the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112d, and the transmission part 112c is located at the surface of the rotating piece 112b which is away from the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112d. The shape of the mounting groove 112d can be various, the mounting groove 112d can be cylindrical, or the mounting groove 112d can be boss-shaped, as long as it does not affect the rotation of the rotating piece 112b, and no specific limitation is made here. The rotating piece 112b is arranged at the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112d, so that the driving part 102a of the pre-treatment filter element 100a needs to extend into the mounting groove 112d to cooperate with the transmission part 112c of the rotating piece 112b, so that the seat body 112a can protect the rotating piece 112b and the driving part 102a.

[0139] The first mounting seat 1121 further comprises a guide convex part 112e, which is convexly arranged on the groove wall of the mounting groove 112d and extends along the circumferential direction of the mounting groove 112d, and the guide part 103a can extend into the space between the guide convex part 112e and the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112d. In this way, when the pre-treatment filter element 100a rotates, the guide part 103a is limited in the direction of the central axis of the pre-treatment filter element 100a by the guide convex part 112e and the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112d, so that the guide part 103a can only move along the extension direction of the guide convex part 112e (i.e. the circumferential direction of the mounting groove 112d), thereby facilitating user operation. At the same time, after the pre-treatment filter element 100a is installed, the pre-treatment filter element 100a can be limited by the cooperation between the guide part 103a and the guide convex part 112e, so that the pre-treatment filter element 100a is installed on the seat body 112a.

[0140] Please refer to Figures 6-7 , considering that if the rotating direction of the pre-treatment filter element 100a is not limited, the user cannot determine whether the pre-treatment filter element 100a is installed to the specified position, therefore, the first mounting seat 1121 further comprises a limiting convex part 112f, one end of the limiting convex part 112f is connected with one end of a guide convex part 112e in the circumferential direction of the mounting groove 112d, and the other end of the limiting convex part 112f extends along the axial direction of the mounting groove 112d towards the groove bottom of the mounting groove 112d. In this way, when the pre-treatment filter element 100a is installed, the user rotates the pre-treatment filter element 100a until the guide part 103a of the pre-treatment filter element 100a abuts against the limiting convex part 112f, thereby facilitating user operation.

[0141] Specifically, please refer to Figures 6-7, the number of the guide portions 103a of the pre-treatment filter element 100a is two; the number of the guide protrusions 112e and the limiting protrusions 112f is both two, the two guide protrusions 112e are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the installation groove 112d to form two avoiding channels 112g, and the guide protrusions 112e and the limiting protrusions 112f are arranged one by one; the limiting protrusion 112f is arranged at the end of the corresponding guide protrusion 112e away from the other limiting protrusion 112f. In this way, when the pre-treatment filter element 100a is installed, the pre-treatment filter element 100a is first inserted into the installation groove 112d along the direction of the central axis of the first mounting seat 1121, the guide portion 103a passes through the avoiding channel 112g, and the guide portion 103a is limited by the limiting protrusion 112f on one side in the circumferential direction of the installation groove 112d, so that the pre-treatment filter element 100a can only rotate in the preset direction, thereby avoiding the user from rotating in the wrong direction to cause the pre-treatment filter element 100a to be not installed in place.

[0142] Further, please refer to Figures 6-7 , the side of the guide protrusion 112e and the limiting protrusion 112f is provided with a guide inclined surface 112h, and the guide inclined surface 112h extends from the direction close to the groove bottom of the installation groove 112d to the direction close to the adjacent avoiding channel 112g. In this way, when the pre-treatment filter element 100a is installed, the pre-treatment filter element 100a is first inserted into the installation groove 112d along the direction of the central axis of the first mounting seat 1121, at this time, the guide portion 103a will abut against the guide inclined surface 112h, thereby guiding the guide portion 103a into the avoiding channel 112g, and at the same time, the rotating direction of the pre-treatment filter element 100a can be prompted, thereby facilitating the user operation.

[0143] Please refer to Figures 6-7In some embodiments of the present application, the guide protrusion 112e is recessed with a positioning groove 112i on one side of the bottom of the corresponding installation slot 112d; the pre-treatment filter element 100a further comprises a positioning portion 104a, which is protruded on the surface of the guide portion 103a towards the guide protrusion 112e; wherein when the first mounting seat 1121 is in communication with the waterway 1131, the positioning portion 104a is inserted and matched with the positioning groove 112i. In this way, after the pre-treatment filter element 100a is installed to the designated position, the positioning portion 104a of the pre-treatment filter element 100a is inserted and matched with the positioning groove 112i, so as to limit the circumference of the pre-treatment filter element 100a, thereby avoiding the pre-treatment filter element 100a from being rotated due to the influence of the external environment and causing the pre-treatment filter element 100a to be separated from the first mounting seat 1121. When disassembling the pre-treatment filter element 100a, the pre-treatment filter element 100a needs to be pushed towards the bottom of the installation slot 112d first, so as to make the positioning portion 104a separated from the positioning groove 112i, then the pre-treatment filter element 100a is rotated, and finally the pre-treatment filter element 100a is withdrawn from the installation slot 112d along the direction of the central axis of the first mounting seat 1121.
