[0043] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or related technologies, a clear and complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] In related technologies, water purifiers integrate many water purification functions, which makes the overall product size larger and occupies more installation space, thus making subsequent installation difficult.

[0045] For the above situation, please refer to Figures 1-3 This application proposes a water purifier 001, including a housing assembly 10, a soft water system 002, a water purification system 003, and a hot water system 004.

[0046] The housing assembly 10 includes a middle shell 12. A water softening system 002 is arranged with the middle shell 12 along a second direction Y. The water softening system 002 includes a water softening valve 020, a resin tank 010, and a brine tank assembly 030. The resin tank 010 and the brine tank assembly 030 are arranged along a first direction X and are connected. The water softening valve 020 is located on one side of the resin tank 010 along a third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. A water purification system 003 is located within... The middle shell 12 contains a water purification system 003, which includes a filtration system 50 and a water circuit board 60. The filtration system 50 and the water circuit board 60 are arranged along a first direction X, and the inlet of the filtration system 50 is connected to the soft water valve 020 through the water circuit board 60. A hot water system 004 is located in the middle shell 12. The hot water system 004 and the water purification system 003 are arranged along the first direction X, and the hot water system 004 and the soft water system 002 are arranged along a second direction Y. The inlet of the hot water system 004 is connected to the outlet of the water purification system 003.

[0047] Specifically, the water softening system 002 is used to convert externally input hard water into soft water, the brine tank assembly 030 is used to store softening salt, the resin tank 010 is filled with resin particles, which can effectively remove calcium and magnesium ions from the water, and is externally connected to the brine tank assembly 030 to periodically regenerate the resin, ensuring a continuous and stable water softening effect, and the water softening valve 020 can control the direction of water flow; the water purification system 003 is used to purify the soft water output from the water softening system 002 to form pure water and output it; the pure water flowing out of the water purification system 003 can be introduced into the hot water system 004 to heat the pure water, so that the water purifier 001 can finally output hot pure water. The water purification system 003 is located in the middle shell 12, and the water softening system 002 is arranged along the second direction Y with the middle shell 12. In other words, the water softening system 002 and the water purification system 003 are arranged along the second direction Y. Taking the water purifier 001 in use as an example, the first direction X is the length direction of the water purifier 001, the second direction Y is the width direction of the water purifier 001, and the third direction Z is the height direction of the water purifier 001. The water softening valve 020 can be located on the top of the resin tank 010.

[0048] It should be noted that the resin tank 010 and the brine tank assembly 030, as the parts occupying a large amount of space in the water softening system 002, are arranged closely along the first direction X. This results in a larger overall length of the water softening system 002 in the first direction X, but a smaller length in the second direction Y. In other words, the overall structure of the water softening system 002 is roughly flat, reducing the space occupied by the water softening system 002 in the second direction Y. Similarly, the filtration system 50 and the water circuit board 60 in the water purification system 003, along with the hot water system 004, are also arranged closely along the first direction X. This results in a larger overall length of the water purification system 003 and the hot water system 004 in the first direction X, but a smaller length in the second direction Y. In other words, the overall structure of the water purification system 003 and the hot water system 004 is also roughly flat, reducing the space occupied by the water purification system 003 and the hot water system 004 in the second direction Y, thereby reducing the size of the middle shell 12 in the second direction Y. Based on this, the water softening system 002 and the middle shell 12 are arranged along the second direction Y, which reduces the size of the water purifier 001 in the second direction Y, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the water purifier 001 in the second direction Y. This makes the overall structure more compact and allows for flexible arrangement in narrow installation environments, meeting the needs of small and medium-sized households. In addition, the resin tank 010 and the brine tank assembly 030 have approximately the same width in the second direction Y, and the filtration system 50 and the water circuit board 60 also have approximately the same width in the second direction Y, which facilitates a coordinated overall layout and improves space utilization.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, both the resin tank 010 and the brine tank assembly 030 extend along the third direction Z. It can be understood that the resin tank 010 is typically a cylindrical tank, and its extension along the third direction Z results in a relatively high height, facilitating the containment of more resin particles and enhancing the softening effect. The brine tank assembly 030, also extending along the third direction Z, can be a cuboid structure, allowing for the storage of sufficient softening salt to ensure efficient resin regeneration. The softening valve 020 is positioned above the resin tank 010. Therefore, the height of the brine tank assembly 030 along the third direction Z is greater than that of the resin tank 010, providing space for the installation of the softening valve 020. This makes the structure of the softening system 002 more compact.

[0050] Since the length of the soft water system 002 in the second direction Y is the sum of the lengths of the resin tank 010 and the brine tank assembly 030, the filtration system 50 extends along the second direction Y to increase its length in this direction. This ensures that the lengths of the water purification system 003 and the soft water system 002 in the second direction Y are similar, thus maintaining the overall structural harmony. The water circuit board 60 extends along the third direction Z, meaning its height in this direction is relatively large. This ensures that the heights of the water circuit board 60 and the soft water system 002 in the third direction Z match, ensuring smooth water flow. The hot water system 004 extends along the third direction. The larger space-consuming part of the hot water system 004 is the heat tank assembly, which also extends along the third direction Z to increase its height. This ensures that the heights of the hot water system 004 and the soft water system 002 in the third direction Z match.

[0051] In some embodiments, the length of the middle shell 12 along the first direction X is the same as the length of the soft water system 002 along the first direction X, thereby matching the length of the middle shell 12 and the soft water system 002 in the first direction X. In other words, the space inside the shell assembly 10 can be fully utilized, making the overall structure more compact and thus improving space utilization.

[0052] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the filtration system 50 includes a primary filter element 501 and a secondary filter element 502. The primary filter element 501 and the secondary filter element 502 are arranged along the third direction Z. The inlet of the primary filter element 501 is connected to the resin tank 010 through the water circuit plate 60, and the inlet of the secondary filter element 502 is connected to the outlet of the primary filter element 501.

[0053] Specifically, the soft water flowing out of resin tank 010 enters the primary filter element 501 through water circuit plate 60 for filtration. The primary filter element 501 is mainly used to remove large particulate impurities from the soft water. The water that has undergone preliminary filtration then enters the secondary filter element 502 for further purification, thereby ensuring that the impurity content in the final output water meets the standards. The primary filter element 501 and the secondary filter element 502 are arranged along the third direction Z to ensure that the length of the filtration system 50 in the first direction X and the second direction Y is minimized.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the middle shell 12 has a second mounting groove (not shown in the figure), which is located on the side of the filtration system 50 along the third direction Z; the secondary filter element 502 is a reverse osmosis filter element, and the water purification system 003 also includes a booster pump 70 disposed in the second mounting groove. The outlet of the booster pump 70 is connected to the inlet of the reverse osmosis filter element. The booster pump 70 is used to pressurize the liquid flowing into the reverse osmosis filter element to provide sufficient pressure so that the liquid flowing out of the primary filter element 501 can pass through the reverse osmosis filter element more quickly.

[0055] It should be noted that the pre-filter and post-filter can be integrated into the primary filter 501 to reduce the space occupied by the pre-filter and post-filter. The second mounting slot on the middle shell 12 can be used to fix the booster pump 70, ensuring its stable and vibration-free operation. The booster pump 70 and the filtration system 50 are arranged along the third direction Z, thereby preventing the overall structure of the water purification system 003 from increasing in the second direction Y. The booster pump 70 is preferably a variable frequency booster pump 70. At the same time, the filtration system 50 and the water circuit board 60 have a height difference in the third direction Z. The booster pump 70 can be set in the height difference space between the filtration system 50 and the water circuit board 60, which saves space and ensures the stable operation of the booster pump 70, further optimizing the overall structural layout of the water purification system 003, improving space utilization, and making the structure of the water purification system 003 more compact.

[0056] Please continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the middle shell 12 has an insertion groove 121 and a first mounting groove. The insertion groove 121 extends along a first direction X. The filter system 50 is disposed in the insertion groove 121, and the water circuit board 60 is disposed in the first mounting groove.

[0057] Specifically, the middle shell 12 provides installation space and a foundation for both the filtration system 50 and the water circuit board 60, thereby ensuring that the components in the water purification system 003 work efficiently and collaboratively within a limited space. The middle shell 12 and the soft water system 002 are arranged along the second direction Y, and both the filtration system 50 and the water circuit board 60 are embedded in the middle shell 12, improving space utilization to form a compact structure and reducing the space occupied by the water purification system 003. At the same time, the depth of the insertion groove 121 matches the length of the filtration system 50 in the first direction X, ensuring that the filtration system 50 is securely embedded. Since the water circuit board 60 extends along the third direction Z, the first mounting groove can be set at the bottom of the middle shell 12, so that the bottom of the water circuit board 60 is located in the first mounting groove, and the water circuit board 60 is fixed to the side wall of the middle shell 12 by bolts and other fasteners, thereby ensuring that the water circuit board 60 is stable and not easily displaced.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the middle shell 12 also has a hot tank cavity 102, in which the hot water system 004 is disposed, and the water circuit board 60 is located between the hot water system 004 and the filter system 50. Similarly, the middle shell 12 can also provide installation space and a foundation for the hot water system 004. The hot water system 004 is embedded in the hot tank cavity 102 of the middle shell 12 to make full use of the installation space on the middle shell 12, forming a compact structure and reducing the space occupied by the hot water system 004.

[0059] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the water softener valve 020 has a first side facing away from the resin tank 010; the water purifier 001 also includes a control board 80, which is disposed on the side of the water softener system 002 and the water purification system 003 along the third direction Z, and the control board 80 has a second side facing away from the water softener system 002 and the water purification system 003, the second side being located in the same plane as the first side.

[0060] Specifically, the control board 80 is equipped with a control circuit, which is responsible for receiving user input commands and controlling the operation of the soft water valve 020 and the water purification system 003. The first side and the second side are flush, that is, the top surfaces of the control board 80 and the soft water valve 020 can contact the top plate 14 in the housing assembly 10, so as to make full use of the installation space in the housing assembly 10, thereby improving the space utilization rate and making the structure of the soft water system 002 more compact.

[0061] In some embodiments, the control board 80 is also equipped with a display screen for displaying the real-time operating status of the water purifier 001, such as water pressure and water temperature, so that users can monitor it at any time. In this way, the water purifier 001 can achieve intelligent management, which improves the user's convenience and the system's reliability.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the housing assembly 10 further includes a panel 11, a side plate 16, a back plate 13, and a top plate 14. The panel 11, side plate 16, back plate 13, and top plate 14 together enclose a receiving cavity. The middle shell 12, the soft water system 002, and the water purification system 003 are all located in the receiving cavity. The panel 11 and the back plate 13 are arranged along the first direction X. The back plate 13 is provided with a relief groove 131. The soft water valve 020 includes a first connector 021 for water inlet and a second connector 022 for water outlet. The first connector 021 and the second connector 022 are disposed in the relief groove 131.

[0063] Specifically, the recessed groove 131 on the back plate 13 is recessed. The recessed groove 131 can provide installation space for the first connector 021 and the second connector 022 of the soft water valve 020, reducing the length of the first connector 021 and the second connector 022 protruding from the back plate 13, thereby reducing the space occupied by the whole machine. At the same time, the setting of the recessed groove 131 can also reduce the conflict between the first connector 021 and the second connector 022 and external components. Therefore, the design of the recessed groove 131 takes into account the maximization of space utilization, while ensuring that the connector part of the soft water valve 020 will not be accidentally interfered with or damaged during operation.

[0064] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, a first plug-in portion 017 is provided on the side of the resin tank 010 facing the middle shell 12; the water circuit board 60 is located on the side of the middle shell 12 away from the soft water system 002, and a second plug-in portion 52 is provided on the side of the middle shell 12 facing the soft water system 002. The second plug-in portion 52 is connected to the first plug-in portion 017, thereby fixing the resin tank 010 and the middle shell 12 together and preventing relative movement between the resin tank 010 and the middle shell 12.

[0065] Specifically, the water circuit board 60 is located on the side of the middle shell 12 away from the soft water system 002, which prevents the water circuit board 60 from interfering with the connection between the middle shell 12 and the resin tank 010, and facilitates the snap-fit ​​connection between the middle shell 12 and the resin tank 010. In addition, a connecting hole is provided on the side wall of the middle shell 12 facing the soft water system 002, through which the water circuit board 60 can be connected to the resin tank 010 via a water circuit. Furthermore, multiple bolts can be installed between the resin tank 010 and the middle shell 12, so that in addition to the connection between the first insertion part 017 and the second insertion part 52, the resin tank 010 and the middle shell 12 are further secured by multiple bolts, further improving the stability of the connection between the resin tank 010 and the middle shell 12.

[0066] In some embodiments, the resin tank 010 includes multiple outer cylinders arranged along a first direction X. A first mounting cavity can be provided in the gap between the multiple outer cylinders, meaning the first mounting cavity can be inserted into space to save space. Preferably, the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity are racetrack-shaped. A slot is provided on the racetrack-shaped periphery of the first mounting cavity, and a protrusion is also provided on the racetrack-shaped periphery of the second mounting cavity. When the second mounting cavity is inserted into the first mounting cavity, the protrusion on the periphery is fully inserted into the slot on the periphery, to better fix the resin tank 010 and the middle shell 12.

[0067] Please see Figure 3In some embodiments of this application, the middle shell 12 also has an opening communicating with the insertion groove 121, the insertion groove 121 extends along the first direction X, and the filtration system 50 can enter and exit the insertion groove 121 through the opening; the shell assembly 10 also includes a first cover 18 corresponding to the opening, the first cover 18 being movably connected to the middle shell 12 to open and close the opening.

[0068] Specifically, the filter system 50 is detachably connected to the middle shell 12. When the first cover 18 is opened, the opening is open, and the filter system 50 can be detached from the insertion slot 121. For example, the inner wall of the insertion slot 121 can be provided with internal threads, and the outer surface of the filter system 50 can be provided with external threads. After the filter system 50 is inserted into the insertion slot 121, the filter system 50 is rotated to fix the filter system 50 in the insertion slot 121. The connection between the first cover 18 and the middle shell 12 can be a magnetic connection, a rotating connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, or a screw connection, etc.

[0069] Please continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the salt box assembly 030 includes a box body 032 and a door body 033. The door body 033 is connected to the box body 032 and is movable relative to the box body 032 to open and close the box body 032.

[0070] Specifically, the interior of the housing 032 can have a salt-containing chamber, and the top of the housing 032 can have a salt inlet communicating with the salt-containing chamber, allowing salt particles to be stored in the salt-containing chamber. When the resin tank 010 of the water softening system 002 needs to be replenished with salt, the salt particles in the salt-containing chamber can be drawn into the resin tank 010, enabling the resin tank 010 to continuously soften water. When the salt particles in the salt-containing chamber are used up, salt particles can be replenished into the salt-containing chamber through the salt inlet. The connection between the door 033 and the housing 032 can be a magnetic connection, a rotating connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, or a screw connection, etc.

[0071] Furthermore, the door 033 is located on the side of the housing 032 away from the resin tank 010, and the first cover 18 and the door 033 are arranged along the second direction Y, so that the opening positions of the first cover 18 and the door 033 are both located on the same side of the housing assembly 10, and the opening directions of the first cover 18 and the door 033 are the same, thereby reducing the opening operation space reserved for the water purifier 001.

The hot water system 004 and the water purification system 003 are arranged side by side on the middle shell 12 along the first direction X, so that the structure of the middle shell 12 is generally flat, reducing the space occupied by the middle shell 12 in the second direction Y, thereby reducing the size of the hot water system 004 and the water purification system 003 in the second direction Y. The purified water flowing out of the water purification system 003 can be introduced into the hot water system 004 to heat the purified water, so that the water purifier 001 can finally output hot purified water.

[0079] In summary, the overall working principle of the water purifier 001 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0080] The first connector 021 of the water softener valve 020 is used to receive raw water, which is then passed into the resin tank 010 for softening treatment. The second connector 022 of the water softener valve 020 can directly output a portion of the softened water after treatment. Alternatively, the water softener valve 020 can also pass a portion of the softened water through the water circuit board 60 into the primary filter element 501 of the filtration system 50 for preliminary filtration before outputting it. Alternatively, the water softener valve 020 can pass a portion of the softened water through the water circuit board 60 into the primary filter element 501 and the reverse osmosis filter element for multiple filtrations, and then the water purification system 003 outputs pure water that can be directly consumed. Alternatively, the pure water output by the water purification system 003 can be passed into the hot water system 004, and after being heated by the hot water system 004, hot pure water is output.
