[0034] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 1 A water system includes an inlet water path 10, a filter element 20, and an outlet water path 30. The inlet water path is connected to the inlet end of a diversion valve 40. The first outlet water path 41 of the diversion valve is connected to the first purified water path 21 of the filter element, and the second outlet water path 42 of the diversion valve is connected to the second purified water path 22 of the filter element. The first and second purified water paths can be connected to the outlet water path. The diversion valve can distribute the flow rate of water flowing into the filter element through the first and second outlet water paths. A one-way valve 50 is provided on the inlet water path and / or the outlet water path. This water system distributes water at different flow rates into the filter element through the diversion valve; after filtration by the filter element, the water flows out from the outlet together, achieving different proportions of filtration effects. The filter element has two types of filter media to filter the water flow. The water quality after purification by different filter media is different, and the water quality is adjusted by controlling the ratio.

[0035] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figures 1-4 In the first embodiment of this water system, the filter element is provided with a housing 60, and the housing is provided with an inlet chamber 61 that can communicate with the inlet water passage. Of course, an inlet nozzle and an outlet nozzle can also be provided on the housing. The inlet water flows to the inlet chamber through the inlet nozzle. A rotating component 62 is provided in the inlet chamber, which constitutes the main component of the diversion valve. The inlet chamber is provided with a first purified water passage inlet 23 and a second purified water passage inlet 24. The end face of the rotating component can seal with the two inlets and can be irregularly shaped. The sealing ring 63 is connected by end face sealing. The end face of the rotating part is also provided with a groove 64 that can pass water. The groove can connect the water inlet chamber and the water inlet of the first purified water path and the water inlet of the second purified water path. The groove can realize the flow of water into the filter element at different flow rates. By rotating the rotating part, the water output ratio of the first water outlet path and the second water outlet path is adjusted. When the first water outlet path contains filter element resin and the second water outlet path contains filter element carbon rod (or no filter material), the hardness of the output water is adjusted, and the impact of water quality on the taste of coffee is improved.

[0036] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figures 5-7In the second embodiment of this water system, the filter element is provided with a housing 60, and the housing is provided with an inlet chamber 61 that can communicate with the inlet water channel. The inlet water channel is provided with a movable shaft 65 that can move axially. The movable shaft is a major component of the diversion valve. The axial direction is drawn in the figure as up and down. The inlet water channel has a first purified water channel inlet 23 and a second purified water channel inlet 24 that are axially distributed. The movable shaft is provided with an axially distributed sealing ring 66. The axial movement of the movable shaft can make the sealing ring seal with the first purified water channel inlet and the second purified water channel inlet, thereby blocking the first purified water channel inlet and the second purified water channel inlet. By moving the movable shaft up and down (axial movement), the water output ratio of the first outlet water channel and the second outlet water channel is adjusted. When the first outlet water channel is filtered with filter resin, the second outlet water channel is filtered with filter carbon rod (or no filter material), thereby adjusting the water hardness and improving the impact of water quality on the taste of coffee.

[0037] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 8 This utility model discloses another water system, including an inlet water path 10, a filter element 20, and an outlet water path 30. The inlet water path can be connected to the first purified water path and the second purified water path of the filter element, allowing water to flow simultaneously into both filter media of the filter element. The outlet end of the first purified water path can be connected to the first inlet water path 43 of a diversion valve, and the outlet end of the second purified water path can be connected to the second inlet water path 44 of the diversion valve. The outlet end of the diversion valve can be connected to the outlet water path. The diversion valve can control the outflow rate of the filtered water from the first and second purified water paths to the outlet water path. By controlling the outflow rate of the filtered water after filtration by the diversion valve, different proportions of filtration effects can be achieved. A one-way valve 50 is provided on the inlet water path and / or the outlet water path. This water system uses a diversion valve to combine water from the two purified water paths of the filter cartridge at different flow rates, controlling the flow of the diversion valve to allow the water to flow out from the outlet path. After being distributed by the diversion valve, the water flows together into the outlet path, achieving different proportions of water filtration effects. The filter cartridge has two types of filter media to filter the water flow, and the water quality after purification is different depending on the type of filter media. The water quality can be adjusted by controlling the ratio.

[0038] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figures 9-10In another embodiment of the water system, the filter element is provided with a housing 70, and the housing is provided with a mixing water chamber 71 that can be connected to the water outlet. The mixing water chamber is provided with a rotating component 72, which constitutes the main component of the diversion valve. The mixing water chamber is provided with a first purified water outlet 25 and a second purified water outlet 25. The end face of the rotating component can be sealed with the two outlets, and the same end face sealing as described above can be used. The end face of the rotating component is also provided with a groove 73 that can pass through water. The groove can connect the mixing water chamber with the first purified water outlet and the second purified water outlet. By rotating the rotating component, the groove can allow water from different purified water paths of the filter cartridge and at different flow rates to flow into the mixing chamber, thereby adjusting the water output ratio of the first purified water path and the second purified water path. When the first purified water path is filter cartridge resin and the second water output path is filter cartridge carbon rod (or no filter material), the hardness of the output water is adjusted, thus improving the impact of water quality on the taste of coffee.

[0039] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figures 11-12 In another embodiment of the water system, the filter element is provided with a housing 70, and a mixing chamber 71 that can communicate with the outlet water channel is provided inside the housing. An axially movable shaft 74 is provided inside the mixing chamber, which constitutes the main component of the diversion valve. A first purified water channel outlet 25 and a second purified water channel outlet 26 are axially distributed within the mixing chamber. An axially distributed sealing ring 75 is provided on the movable shaft. The axial movement of the movable shaft allows the sealing ring to seal against the first and second purified water channel outlets, thereby blocking them. By moving the movable shaft up and down (axially), the water output ratio of the first and second purified water channels is adjusted. When the first purified water channel passes through the filter element resin, and the second purified water channel passes through the filter element carbon rod (or no filter material), the water hardness is adjusted, improving the impact of water quality on the coffee's taste.
