TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water purifier, especially a water purifier joint and a water purifier comprising the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] Now with people's living standards are getting better and better, water softener also entered the thousands of households become more and more popular.But the current industry in the whole house water purification, soft water and kitchen under the reverse osmosis water purifier installation is complicated, multiple water equipment needs multiple branch pipeline, these pipelines need to be in a small space and different equipment interface docking.Because the equipment installation position is scattered and the interface specification is different, the pipeline trend is often multi-angle bending, leading to complex pipeline layout, the number of joints increases.This kind of complex structure not only occupies the kitchen cabinet internal space, but also significantly improves the risk of leakage due to interface misalignment, poor sealing and other problems, especially after long-term use, it is easy to cause leakage due to stress concentration or material aging.

[0003] In order to solve the connection problem of complex pipeline, the prior art usually adopts the scheme of connecting multiple parts by rotating and fastening, for example, connecting through multiple three-way joints, adapter joints or hoses by bolts.However, the above method still has obvious defects: simple rotating and fastening connection depends on a large number of joint splicing, and the rotating and fastening method has a slight gap, that is, the joint connection place potentially increases the leakage points, and the compression strength is low, which increases the leakage risk in long-term use. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0004] The utility model solves the technical problem that the kitchen water joint has many leakage points, which leads to easy leakage, and provides a water purifier joint and a water purifier comprising the same.

[0005] The utility model solves the above technical problems by the following technical scheme:

[0006] The utility model provides a water purifier joint, it includes water inlet joint, first water outlet joint, second water outlet joint and third water outlet joint, one end of water inlet joint is water inlet, the other end of water inlet joint extends to the direction away from water inlet and sets up, water inlet is connected to water purification equipment, water inlet still is provided with first locking piece, first locking piece is used for locking water inlet with water purification equipment, one end of first water outlet joint is welded to the lateral wall of water inlet joint and is connected with water inlet, the other end of first water outlet joint is connected to direct drinking machine, first water outlet joint still is provided with second locking piece, second locking piece is used for locking first water outlet joint with direct drinking machine, one end of second water outlet joint is welded to the lateral wall of water inlet joint and is connected with water inlet, the other end of second water outlet joint is connected to water softener, second water outlet joint still is provided with third locking piece, third locking piece is used for locking second water outlet joint with water softener, one end of third water outlet joint is welded to the end of water inlet joint away from water inlet and is connected with water inlet, the other end of third water outlet joint is connected to domestic water tap, third water outlet joint still is provided with fourth locking piece, fourth locking piece is used for locking third water outlet joint with domestic water tap.

[0007] In the scheme, the water purification equipment needs to deliver purified water to multiple water using equipment such as the water softener, and the three water outlet joints are connected through the water inlet joint, that is, multiple water delivery pipelines are integrated on one joint to realize "one-to-many" water path, thereby simplifying the complexity of the pipeline. Meanwhile, the water inlet joint and the water outlet joint are connected by welding to form an integral whole, thereby minimizing the leakage points at the connection and reducing the possibility of water leakage. In order to facilitate replacement of the water purifier joint, the water outlet joint and the water using equipment are not welded, and therefore the first to third locking pieces are provided to improve the fastening of the connection and increase the sealing of the connection.

[0008] Preferably, the edge of the water inlet extends radially outward to form a flange, the first locking piece is sleeved on the water inlet, and the flange is used to abut against the first locking piece, and the flange is used to limit the movement of the first locking piece along the axis of the water inlet.

[0009] In the scheme, the water flow in the water inlet joint will produce slight vibration, which will damage the locking effect of the first locking piece after long-term use. The flange limits the first locking piece to improve the locking effect, which helps to prevent the first locking piece from falling off the water inlet, thereby further reducing the risk of water leakage.

[0010] Preferably, the first locking member is a locking nut, and an inner thread matched with the water purification device is arranged in the locking nut.

[0011] In this scheme, the repeated disassembly and reassembly of the water inlet joint and the water purification device through the inner thread connection facilitates the maintenance, repair or upgrade of the device.

[0012] Preferably, the second locking member is an outer thread opened on the first water outlet joint, and the outer thread is matched with the water inlet end of the direct drinking machine; and / or, the third locking member is an outer thread opened on the second water outlet joint, and the outer thread is matched with the water inlet end of the water softener; and / or, the fourth locking member is an outer thread opened on the third water outlet joint, and the outer thread is matched with the water inlet end of the domestic water faucet.

[0013] In this scheme, the outer threads arranged on the first to third water outlet joints improve the stability of the connection of the water outlet joints and the water using devices.

[0014] Preferably, the thread hole diameter of the end of the locking nut away from the water inlet is larger than the thread hole diameter close to the water inlet.

[0015] In this scheme, the larger outer diameter hole plays a guiding role when the bolt is screwed in, making the bolt more easily aligned with the central axis, reducing the risk of misalignment during initial installation, and ensuring tighter thread engagement. The "horn mouth"-like thread structure gradually increases the engagement depth of the thread, avoiding stress concentration caused by sudden stress, and allowing the load to be more evenly distributed on multiple turns of the thread, rather than only the first few turns of the thread bearing the main load.

[0016] Preferably, a sealing ring is arranged between the locking nut and the flange, and the two sides of the sealing ring are respectively in abutment with the locking nut and the flange.

[0017] In this scheme, the sealing property of the connection between the water inlet joint and the water purification device is further improved.

[0018] Preferably, the first water outlet joint, the second water outlet joint and the third water outlet joint are arranged on the same side relative to the water inlet joint.

[0019] In this scheme, arranging the first to third water outlet joints on one side of the water inlet joint releases the space on the other side of the water inlet joint, improves the utilization rate of space in the limited space under the kitchen, and saves horizontal space.

[0020] Preferably, the first water outlet joint, the second water outlet joint and the third water outlet joint are arranged at intervals on the water inlet joint.

[0021] In this scheme, by setting the first to third water outlet joints at intervals, the water flow is split within the pipe of the water inlet joint, reducing turbulence interference and ensuring the stability of the water flow at each water outlet joint.

[0022] Preferably, the water purifier connector further includes a first elbow, one end of which is welded to the side wall of the inlet connector, and the other end of which is welded to the first outlet connector; and / or, the water purifier connector further includes a second elbow, one end of which is welded to the side wall of the inlet connector, and the other end of which is welded to the second outlet connector; and / or, the water purifier connector further includes a third elbow, one end of which is welded to the end of the inlet connector away from the inlet and communicates with the inlet connector, and the other end of which is welded to the third outlet connector.

[0023] In this solution, by setting the first bend to the third bend, the flow channels of the first, second and third water outlet connectors are turned, thus making it suitable for more water-using equipment layouts and meeting the needs of various under-sink spaces.

[0024] This utility model also provides a water purifier, which includes the water purifier connector as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0025] In this solution, the water purification equipment needs to deliver purified water to multiple water-using devices such as a water softener. Three outlet connectors are connected via an inlet connector, integrating multiple water supply lines into a single connector to achieve a "one-to-many" water circuit, thus simplifying the piping complexity. Furthermore, using welding to connect the inlet and outlet connectors creates a unified whole, minimizing potential leaks at the connection points. First to third locking components are installed at points where welding is difficult, such as between the outlet connector and the water-using devices, to improve the tightness and sealing of the connection.

[0026] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0027] This utility model discloses a water purifier connector and a water purifier including the connector. Since the water purifier needs to deliver purified water to multiple water-using devices such as water softeners, it connects three outlet connectors through an inlet connector, integrating multiple water supply lines into one connector to achieve a "one-to-many" water circuit, thus simplifying the complexity of the piping. Simultaneously, using welding to connect the inlet and outlet connectors allows them to form a single unit, minimizing leakage points at the connection and reducing the possibility of leaks. First to third locking elements are installed at points where welding is difficult, such as between the outlet connector and the water-using devices, to improve the tightness and sealing of the connection.

[0046] The present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present embodiment provides a water purifier connector 100, which comprises a water inlet connector 1, a first water outlet connector 2, a second water outlet connector 3 and a third water outlet connector 4; one end of the water inlet connector 1 is a water inlet 5, the other end of the water inlet connector 1 extends away from the water inlet 5, the water inlet 5 is connected to a water purifying device, and the water inlet 5 is further provided with a first locking member 6 for locking the water inlet 5 and the water purifying device; along the flow direction of the water flow, one water path of the water inlet 5 is divided into three water paths, i.e. the water inlet connector 1 connects three water outlet connectors.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1As shown, one end of the first water outlet connector 2 is welded to the side wall of the water inlet connector 1 and communicates with the water inlet connector 1, and the other end of the first water outlet connector 2 communicates with the direct drinking machine. The first water outlet connector 2 is also provided with a second locking member 7 for locking the first water outlet connector 2 and the direct drinking machine.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 As shown, one end of the second water outlet connector 3 is welded to the side wall of the water inlet connector 1 and communicates with the water inlet connector 1, and the other end of the second water outlet connector 3 communicates with the water softener. The second water outlet connector 3 is also provided with a third locking member 8 for locking the second water outlet connector 3 and the water softener.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 As shown, one end of the third water outlet connector 4 is welded to the end of the water inlet connector 1 away from the water inlet 5 and communicates with the water inlet connector 1, and the other end of the third water outlet connector 4 communicates with the domestic water faucet. The third water outlet connector 4 is also provided with a fourth locking member 9 for locking the third water outlet connector 4 and the domestic water faucet.

[0051] In this way, the water purification equipment needs to deliver purified water to multiple water-using equipment such as water softener. The three water outlet connectors are connected through the water inlet connector 1, that is, multiple water delivery pipelines are integrated into one connector to realize "one-to-many" water path, thereby simplifying the complexity of the pipeline. At the same time, the welding method is used to connect the water inlet connector 1 and the water outlet connector, so that the water inlet connector 1 and the water outlet connector form a whole to minimize the leakage points at the connection, thereby reducing the possibility of water leakage. In order to facilitate the replacement of the water purification machine connector 100, it is not appropriate to weld the water outlet connector and the water-using equipment. Therefore, the first to third locking members 8 are provided to improve the fastening of the connection, so that the connection between the water outlet connector and the water-using equipment is more secure, thereby improving the sealing of the connection.

[0052] In this embodiment, the water inlet connector 1, the first water outlet connector 2, the second water outlet connector 3, and the third water outlet connector 4 are all stainless steel straight pipes. In other embodiments, the above structure can also be other metal materials. The welding method is argon arc welding, and other welding methods suitable for those skilled in the art can also be used.

[0053] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 The edge of the water inlet 5 extends radially outward to form a flange 10, the first locking member 6 is sleeved on the water inlet 5, and the flange 10 is used to abut against the first locking member 6. The flange 10 is used to limit the movement of the first locking member 6 along the axis direction of the water inlet 5. Because the water flow in the water inlet connector 1 will produce slight vibration, which will damage the locking effect of the first locking member 6 after long-term use. The flange 10 limits the first locking member 6 to improve the locking effect, which helps to prevent the first locking member 6 from falling off the water inlet 5, thereby further reducing the risk of water leakage.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2 the first locking member 6 is a locking nut 11, and the locking nut 11 is internally threaded to match the water purification device. The threaded connection allows the water inlet connector 1 to be repeatedly disassembled and reassembled with the water purification device, facilitating equipment maintenance, repair or upgrade. In this embodiment, one side of the folded edge 10 clamps the locking nut 11 on the water inlet 5, preventing the locking nut 11 from moving towards the water purification device, and the other side of the water purification device is screwed into the locking nut 11 to clamp the folded edge 10 with the locking nut 11, thereby further improving the stability of the water inlet connection. In other embodiments, the first locking member 6 can also be a clamping member or other suitable locking structure as deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art.

[0055] Further, the thread hole diameter of the end of the locking nut 11 away from the water inlet 5 is larger than the thread hole diameter near the water inlet 5. The larger outer diameter acts as a guide when the bolt is screwed in, making it easier to align the center axis, reducing the risk of misalignment during initial installation, and ensuring a tighter thread engagement. The "horn" like thread structure gradually increases the engagement depth of the thread, avoiding stress concentration caused by sudden force, and allowing the load to be more evenly distributed over multiple threads, rather than being borne primarily by the first few threads.

[0056] Further, a sealing ring (not shown in the figure) is provided between the locking nut 11 and the folded edge 10, and the sealing ring is in abutment with the locking nut 11 and the folded edge 10 on both sides. Such a structure can further improve the sealing performance of the connection between the water inlet connector 1 and the water purification device.

[0057] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 the second locking member 7 is an external thread provided on the first water outlet connector 2, which matches the water inlet end of the direct drinking machine; or the third locking member 8 is an external thread provided on the second water outlet connector 3, which matches the water inlet end of the water softener; or the fourth locking member 9 is an external thread provided on the third water outlet connector 4, which matches the water inlet end of the domestic water faucet.

[0058] Preferably, the second locking member 7, the third locking member 8 and the fourth locking member 9 are provided simultaneously and are respectively external threads. By providing external threads on the first to third water outlet connectors 4, the stability of the connection between the water outlet connectors and the water using devices is improved. In other embodiments, the second locking member 7, the third locking member 8 and the fourth locking member 9 can also be nuts with internal threads or clamping members or other suitable locking structures as deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art.

[0059] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 the first water outlet connector 2, the second water outlet connector 3 and the third water outlet connector 4 are arranged on the same side relative to the water inlet connector 1.

[0060] In this way, by placing the first to third water outlet connectors 4 on one side of the water inlet connector 1, the space on the other side of the water inlet connector 1 can be freed up, thereby improving the utilization rate of space in the limited space under the sink and saving horizontal space.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first water outlet connector 2, the second water outlet connector 3, and the third water outlet connector 4 are respectively arranged perpendicular to the water inlet connector 1, and the first water outlet connector 2, the second water outlet connector 3, and the third water outlet connector 4 are parallel to each other. This structure can further save space and improve space utilization.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first water outlet connector 2, the second water outlet connector 3, and the third water outlet connector 4 are spaced apart on the water inlet connector 1.

[0063] Thus, by setting the first to third water outlet joints 4 at intervals, the water flow is split within the pipe of the water inlet joint 1, reducing turbulence interference and ensuring the stability of the water flow at each water outlet joint.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first water outlet connector 2, the second water outlet connector 3, and the third water outlet connector 4 are spaced apart in a direction away from the water inlet 5.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water purifier connector 100 further includes a first elbow 12, one end of which is welded to the side wall of the inlet connector 1, and the other end of which is welded to the first outlet connector 2; or, the water purifier connector 100 further includes a second elbow 13, one end of which is welded to the side wall of the inlet connector 1, and the other end of which is welded to the second outlet connector 3; or, the water purifier connector 100 further includes a third elbow 14, one end of which is welded to the end of the inlet connector 1 away from the inlet 5 and connected to the inlet connector 1, and the other end of which is welded to the third outlet connector 4.

[0066] Preferably, a first bend 12, a second bend 13, and a third bend 14 are provided simultaneously. By setting the first bend 12 to the third bend 14, the flow channels of the first water outlet connector 2, the second water outlet connector 3, and the third water outlet connector 4 are turned, thereby accommodating more water-using equipment layouts and meeting the needs of various under-sink spaces.

[0067] In this embodiment, the welding method for each elbow to the inlet connector 1 and each outlet connector is also argon arc welding, or other welding methods that are deemed suitable by those skilled in the art.

[0068] This embodiment also provides a water purifier, which includes the water purifier connector 100 as described above.

[0069] Thus, the water purification device needs to deliver purified water to multiple water using devices such as a water softener, and the three water outlet joints are connected through the water inlet joint 1, that is, multiple water delivery pipelines are integrated into one joint to achieve "one-to-many" water path, thereby simplifying the complexity of the pipeline. At the same time, the water inlet joint 1 and the water outlet joint can be connected by welding to form a whole, thereby minimizing the leakage points at the connection and reducing the possibility of water leakage. The first to third locking members 8 are respectively arranged between the water outlet joint and the water using device, so as to improve the fastening and sealing of the connection.

[0070] Although the specific embodiments of the present application are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that this is only an example, and the protection scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present application, and these changes and modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
