[0092] Please see Figures 1 to 22This utility model provides an improved structure for a filter cartridge holder (A), which includes a filter cartridge holder body (1). The filter cartridge holder body (1) has a first side part (11), a second side part (12), a top part (13), and a back part (14). The back part (14) is provided with a wall-mounting part (141). The interior enclosed by the first side part (11), the second side part (12), the top part (13), and the back part (14) forms an accommodating space (15). The accommodating space (15) is provided with a connecting part (151). The connecting part (151) is provided with a water inlet (152) and a water outlet (153). The water inlet (152) and the water outlet (153) are arranged in a vertical direction. The face (11) is provided with a water inlet (111), which is connected to a water inlet channel (112) and communicates with the water inlet hole (152). The second side face (12) is provided with a water outlet (121), which is connected to a water outlet channel (122) and communicates with the water outlet hole (153). The first side face (11) and the second side face (12) are provided with pivot posts (113) (123) and channels (114) (124). The channels (114) (124) are transverse channels. There is also a cover (2). The cover (2) has a front cover (21), a top (22) and two side walls (23). The two side walls (23) are provided with pivot holes (231). The cover (2) is assembled with the filter element seat body (1), and the pivot hole (231) is pivotally connected to the pivot post (113) (123). At this time, the cover (2) covers the accommodating space (15). The cover (2) is rotated upwards and opened with the pivot post (113) (123) as the center, and the accommodating space (15) is in an open state. The filter element seat (A) is further assembled with a filter element (3). The filter element (3) is composed of a filter element cover (31) and a filter element tube (32). The filter element cover (31) is provided with an inlet pipe (311), an outlet pipe (312) and an outwardly extending rod (313). The inlet pipe (311) is inserted into the inlet hole (152) and connected to the inlet channel (112). The water outlet pipe (312) is inserted into the water outlet hole (153) and connected to the water outlet channel (122). The rod body (313) is assembled on the channel (114) (124). When the filter element (3) is assembled on the filter element seat (A), the rod body (313) slides on the channel (114) (124) to move the filter element (3) towards the assembly part (151) until the water inlet pipe (311) and the water outlet pipe (312) are connected and fixed to the water inlet hole (152) and the water outlet hole (153). By the above-mentioned assembly method of the filter element seat (A) and the filter element (3), the problem of the prior art that the filter element needs to be moved up and down to remove or assemble the filter element because the filter element seat and the filter element adopt a spiral connection method is improved.

[0093] Since the filter element (3) slides on the channel (114) (124) via the rod (313), in order to prevent the filter element (3) from falling off when it is removed, the channel (114) (124) is provided with anti-slip ends (115) (125), so that the filter element (3) can stop sliding by abutting against the anti-slip ends (115) (125) when it is removed. In addition, the anti-slip ends (115) (125) and the channel (114) (124) are connected by arc-shaped curved surfaces (116) (126), so that when the rod (313) slides on the channel (114) (124), whether assembling or disassembling the filter element (3), it is smoother and there is no feeling of obstruction. Furthermore, the top surface (13) of the filter element seat body (1) is provided with a locking part (131), and the filter element cover (31) is provided with When the filter element (3) is assembled in the filter element seat (A), the snap-fit ​​part (314) is securely engaged in the snap-fit ​​part (131).

The snap-fit ​​part (131) is further provided with a guide groove (133), and the snap-fit ​​part (314) is further provided with a guide slider (316). When the filter element (3) is assembled in the filter element seat (A), the guide slider (316) is engaged in the guide groove (133). The assembly method of the snap-fit ​​part (314) and the snap-fit ​​part (131) allows the filter element (3) to be hung on the filter element seat body (1), preventing the filter element (3) from falling directly when it is removed, thus avoiding the risk of injuring the cabinet or the user.

[0094] The side wall portion (23) of the cover (2) is provided with a notch (232), and the notch (232) has an abutment surface (233). When the cover (2) is pivotally mounted on the filter element seat body (1), the notch (232) is located outside the channel (114) (124). When the cover (2) is lifted, an open area (B) is formed between the notch (232) and the channel (114) (124), allowing the rod (313) to be assembled onto the channel (114) (124). The rod (313) slides towards the assembly portion (151), and the rod (313) abuts against and fits against the abutment surface (151). When the rod (313) slides continuously toward the joint (151), the rod (313) continuously pushes the abutment surface (233), causing the cover (2) to rotate around the pivot (113) (123) until the water inlet pipe (311) and the water outlet pipe (312) are connected and fixed with the water inlet hole (152) and the water outlet hole (153). The cover (2) is then closed. At this time, a closed area (C) is formed between the notch (232) and the channel (114) (124), and the rod (313) is then firmly fixed in the closed area (C).

[0095] The first side portion (11) and the second side portion (12) are provided with positioning portions (117) (127). The positioning portions (117) (127) are interlocking structures formed by protrusions (118) (128) and recesses (119) (129). The two side wall portions (23) of the cover (2) are further provided with extension portions (234). When the cover (2) is pivotally mounted on the filter element seat body (1), the cover (2) is connected to the filter element seat body (1) by the pivot post (117) (128). Rotate the cover (2) around the center (13)(123) to lift it up and open it. The extension (234) will then engage with the positioning part (117)(127). At this time, the extension (234) will be fixed in the recess (119)(129), so that the cover (2) will not close automatically when assembling or disassembling the filter element, thus avoiding the chance of injuring the filter element or the user's hand. It also achieves the purpose of assembling or disassembling the filter element (3) with one hand.

[0096] The structure of this utility model greatly improves the shortcomings of the prior art. It not only makes the operation simple, allowing users to assemble or disassemble the filter element (3) with one hand, but also solves the problem of insufficient space under the cabinet through the horizontal assembly method of the filter element seat (A) and the filter element (3) of this utility model. The above embodiments are only for illustrating the principle and function of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Therefore, modifications and changes made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments are still within the spirit of this utility model. This utility model has industrial applicability, novelty and progress and meets the requirements of a utility model patent. Therefore, an application is filed in accordance with the law.
