Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water filtration. More specifically, the filtration system of this utility model is designed to deliver more desirable water directly from municipal water supply sources (such as valves, faucets, or outdoor taps) to standard three- to five-gallon water tanks, while limiting the risk of external contaminants.

[0002] Cross-referencing related applications

[0003] This application is a continuation of U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 714,976, filed November 1, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background Technology

[0004] Over the past few decades, various drinking water filtration and treatment systems have been developed to meet the growing demand for clean and improved water. These systems include faucet-mounted filters, reverse osmosis systems, built-in filtration systems, and gravity filters. While the specific goals of these devices may differ, they all share a common objective: to improve water quality to meet consumer preferences by reducing contaminants, altering chemical properties, or improving taste.

[0005] Despite the availability of home filtration systems, many consumers opt for alternative solutions such as ordering water delivery services or using water refill stations to fill large-capacity water tanks (typically 3 to 5 gallons). For convenience, these tanks are often used with water dispensers. However, both methods have significant drawbacks.

[0006] While convenient, water delivery services are costly and environmentally harmful. The production and transportation of bottled water generate plastic waste and carbon emissions, while recurring costs, contracts, and storage space requirements for spare water tanks further increase consumer inconvenience. Water refill stations, on the other hand, have their own problems. Hidden costs such as fuel, time, and effort incurred by consumers traveling to and from refill stations increase. Furthermore, the cleanliness and maintenance of these stations are crucial but not always guaranteed, potentially jeopardizing water safety. In addition, transporting heavy water tanks is a cumbersome and inconvenient physical task for many consumers.

[0007] For those hoping to bypass water delivery services and refill stations and use municipal water supplies, there are even more obstacles. Municipal tap water often contains excessive levels of chlorine, lead, fluoride, or other chemicals, raising concerns about its quality. Furthermore, there is currently no ideal solution on the market that allows consumers to fill large-capacity water tanks at home while protecting the water from external contaminants such as dirt, dust, or airborne particles during transport.

[0008] This novel device addresses the aforementioned challenges by providing a practical and efficient solution. It allows consumers to fill their three- to five-gallon water tanks directly from municipal water sources such as water valves or taps, while ensuring the water is filtered and free from contamination. This innovative design combines ease of use with improved water quality, offering an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional water delivery and filling station methods.

When tap water 10 flows through the hose 6 into the filter 2, the water tank filtration system 1 effectively filters the water and delivers clean water to the water tank 11, water bottle, or similar water container.

[0049] Reference Figure 1Aand 1B The illustration shows a first embodiment of a water tank filtration system 1 according to the present invention. The water tank filtration system 1 includes a filter 2, a detachable hose 6, and a detachable cover 5, all interconnected. The filter 2 is connected to the hose 6 at the top via a nozzle 4 and one end 7 of the hose. At the bottom, the filter 2 is connected to the cover 5 via a connector, forming a secure assembly.

[0050] In one embodiment, the top and bottom of filter 2 are elliptical, circular, or cylindrical, but not limited to these shapes (see [link to product description]). Figure 1A and Figure 2A-2B In another embodiment, the top surface of filter 2 may be circular, annular, or cylindrical, while the bottom surface may be flat, plain, or other suitable shapes, but is not limited thereto (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 1B and Figure 2C-2D ).

[0051] Figure 1C-1E This demonstrates the integration of multiple embedded filters for enhanced purification. The water tank filtration system 1 can integrate filters of various types, shapes, and functions, making it well-suited to different filtration needs. Multiple filters can be used in series to achieve better or more specific results.

[0052] In one embodiment, filter 2 and filter 2a are connected by a hose 6, with one end 7 connected to filter 2 and the other end 8 connected to filter 2a. Furthermore, one end 7a of a second hose 6a is connected to filter 2a, while the other end 8a is used to connect to a faucet (see...). Figure 1C In another embodiment, filters 2 and 2a are directly connected without the need for hose 6. The second filter 2a is connected to one end 7 of hose 6, and the other end 8 can be used for further integration (see...). Figure 1D In another embodiment, at least two hoses (hose 6 and hose 6a) are used to connect three in-line filters—filter 2, filter 2a, and filter 2b. One end 7 of the first hose 6 is connected to the first filter 2, and the other end 8 is connected to the second filter 2a. Similarly, one end 7a of the second hose 6a is connected to the second filter 2a, and the other end 8a is connected to the third filter 2b. Furthermore, one end 7b of the third hose 6b is connected to the third filter 2b, while the other end 8b can be used for further integration or connected to a faucet or other water source (see [link to documentation]). Figure 1E ).

[0053] For example, in sequence, the first filter could be used to reduce sediment, while the second filter could be used to remove chlorine and improve taste. Alternatively, a more complex arrangement could include a first filter for reducing chlorine and improving taste, a second filter for adjusting pH, and a third embedded filter for removing lead, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and oocysts.

[0054] Figures 2A-2D The present invention describes the detachable filter 2 and cover 5 used in its design. The filter 2 has a nozzle 4 at the top and a connector 3 at the bottom. The connector 3 can have various shapes, not limited to hexagonal, square, circular, or elliptical.

[0055] The lid 5 has a hole in the center, allowing it to be securely fastened to the connector at the top. The bottom of the lid 5 is designed for connecting the water tank 11 or a similar container; each side of the lid has a vent 9 or a small open area to release excess pressure, prevent overflow, and ensure a stable flow of water or liquid during filtration.

[0056] The lid can be made of silicone, polypropylene, polyethylene, or other food-grade safe materials to securely attach the water tank filtration system 1 to the water tank 11. These materials were chosen because they can form a tight seal at the opening of the water tank 11.

[0057] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of filter 2 is circular or annular, while the connecting connector 3 is hexagonal or square. In another embodiment, both the bottom surface of filter 2 and connector 3 are circular or annular.

[0058] In another embodiment, the bottom surface of filter 2 is flat or flat, and the connecting connector 3 is hexagonal or square. Alternatively, the bottom surface of filter 2 may be flat or flat, and the connecting connector 3 may be circular or annular. The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0059] Figures 3A-3B A preferred use of a water tank filtration system 1 is shown, which includes a filter 2, a hose 6, a cover 5, a faucet 10, and a water tank 11 or similar container.

[0060] At the top of filter 2, a nozzle is connected to one end 7 of hose 6. At the bottom, it can be either round or ring-shaped (see...). Figure 3A ), or flat or flat (see Figure 3B Connectors 3 of any shape are connected to the filter 2 and securely fixed to the cover 5.

[0061] One end 7 of the hose 6 is connected to the filter 2, and the other end 8 is connected to the kitchen faucet 10 to ensure smooth water flow. The lengths of the hoses 6 vary.

[0062] The upper side of the cover 5 is connected to the filter 2, and the lower side is connected to the water tank 11 or a similar container to ensure a sealed connection, thereby achieving efficient filtration.

[0063] In one embodiment, the cover 5, filter 2, and hose 6 can be manufactured as a single molded unit, ensuring that these components are inseparable and require no assembly. This integrated design simplifies the manufacturing process, eliminating the need for separate component installations and thus improving durability. In another embodiment, the cover 5 is designed with a built-in vent 9 to release pressurized air or excess water, ensuring proper filtration and preventing water or liquid spillage during use.

[0064] This invention is very simple and convenient to use. After turning on the faucet 10 or other water source, water flows from the faucet 10 and enters the filter 2 through the connected hose 6; the water tank filtration system 1 effectively removes impurities and contaminants. The function of the filter 2 is to purify the water, ensuring that only filtered, clean water flows into the water tank 11 or similar container. When the water tank 11 is full, any excess pressure buildup is released through the vent located on the lid 5. This design prevents overflow and maintains a stable water flow during the filtration process. This process provides users with safe and clean water, offering a healthier lifestyle by reducing exposure to potentially harmful substances commonly found in unfiltered water.

[0065] Figure 4 Another preferred use of the water tank filtration system 1 is shown, which includes a filter 2, a hose 6, a cover 5, a faucet 10, and a water tank 11 or similar container.

[0066] At the top of the filter 2, a nozzle is connected to the faucet 10, and the connector at the bottom of the filter 2 is connected to one end 7 of the hose 6; the other end of the hose 6 is connected to the upper side of the cover 5, and the lower side of the cover is connected to the water tank 11 or a similar container to ensure a sealed connection, thereby achieving efficient filtration.
