Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter cartridge installation technology for water purifiers, and in particular to a locking installation structure for filter cartridges. Background Technology

[0002] As people's pursuit of quality of life increases, water purifiers are becoming increasingly common in homes. Water purifiers are primarily used for deep filtration and purification of water, removing harmful substances and excess minerals while retaining only beneficial components. However, with prolonged use, the filter cartridges accumulate more and more dirt. When this dirt reaches a certain level, the purifier will fail to filter water properly, resulting in poorer filtration or reduced water flow. At this point, the filter cartridge needs to be replaced to ensure the purifier's continued operation. However, current water purifiers have a closed casing, and the filter cartridge and its holder are typically fixed with bolts. To ensure a watertight seal, a sealing ring is often installed at the connection point to prevent leaks. However, this bolt-locking method can lead to leaks at the connection point when the sealing ring ages or is installed at a slightly cheaper location. Furthermore, bolt-locking is time-consuming and laborious for filter replacement, and assembly is cumbersome, requiring improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a locking installation structure for filter elements, which has the effects of convenient filter element installation and improved water leakage prevention performance of the filter seat assembly after the filter element is removed.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a locking installation structure for a filter element, comprising a filter element and a filter base assembly, wherein the filter element is provided with an installation part, the installation part is provided with a plurality of water guide holes communicating with the inner cavity of the filter element, and a locking structure is provided between the installation part and the filter base assembly, wherein the filter element can rotate and switch between a locked state and an unlocked state relative to the filter base assembly through the locking structure;

[0005] The filter base assembly is rotatably provided with a water passage connection plate, and the filter base assembly is provided with a water passage pipe corresponding to the water guide hole. The water passage connection plate is provided with a connecting pipe. When the filter element is installed on the filter base assembly, one end of the connecting pipe is inserted into the water guide hole of the mounting part and communicates with it. The filter element can drive the water passage connection plate to rotate relative to the filter base assembly. When the filter element rotates relative to the filter base assembly to the locked state, the water passage pipe communicates with the corresponding water guide hole on the mounting part through the connecting pipe.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, during assembly, the water circuit connection plate is first installed on the filter base assembly. Then, the installation part of the filter element is aligned with the water circuit connection plate and connected to the pre-installation position of the filter base assembly, so that the connecting pipe on the water circuit connection plate is inserted into the water guide hole of the filter element. Then, the filter element is rotated relative to the filter base assembly in the locking direction. When the filter element rotates, it will drive the water circuit connection plate to rotate synchronously. The locking structure locks and fixes the filter element on the filter base assembly.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the ring can improve the installation firmness of the first sealing ring on the side wall of the water connection plate, and the first sealing ring can improve the water leakage prevention performance between the water connection plate and the inner wall of the installation groove.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that a valve structure is provided inside the water guide hole. When the filter element is installed on the filter base assembly, the connecting pipe activates the valve structure to the open state. When the filter element is separated from the filter base assembly, the water guide hole remains sealed through the valve structure.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the filter element is separated from the filter base assembly, the filter element can achieve self-sealing through the valve structure, preventing water leakage after the filter element is removed.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the valve structure includes an elastic element and a sealing element disposed in the corresponding water guide hole.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the filter element is installed on the filter base assembly, the connecting pipe of the water circuit connection plate is inserted into the water guide hole of the filter element. The connecting pipe pushes the sealing element to move away from the opening end of the water guide hole, so that the connecting pipe can communicate with the inner cavity of the filter element through the water guide notch.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that a second sealing ring is provided inside the water guide hole. When the connecting pipe is inserted into the corresponding water guide hole, the outer side of the connecting pipe is sealed to the inner wall of the water guide hole through the second sealing ring.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the second sealing ring can seal and wrap the outer wall of the connecting pipe inserted into the water guide hole, thereby improving the water-proof performance between the outer wall of the connecting pipe and the inner wall of the water guide hole.

[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the base has a groove at the outlet end of the water pipe, and a third sealing ring is installed in the groove. When the filter element is in an unlocked state relative to the filter base assembly, the water circuit connecting plate and the base are sealed together by the third sealing ring.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the filter element drives the water circuit connection plate to be in the unlocked state relative to the filter seat assembly, the connecting pipe of the water circuit connection plate and the water pipe of the filter seat assembly are misaligned. The third sealing ring can be used to achieve water sealing between the water outlet end of the water pipe and the water circuit connection plate.

[0019] A further feature of this invention is that the side wall of the mounting sleeve extends with a snap-fit ​​portion, and the base body has a snap-fit ​​groove corresponding to the snap-fit ​​portion that communicates with the mounting groove. The snap-fit ​​portion engages with the snap-fit ​​groove, thereby preventing the mounting sleeve from rotating and positioning it within the mounting groove.

When the water channel connecting plate rotates relative to the seat body, the protrusion is constrained within the arc groove and guided by it.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the protrusion and the arc groove guide and limit each other, which can limit the rotation angle of the water circuit connection plate on the base. At the same time, since the filter element and the water circuit connection plate are relatively anti-rotating, the limited rotation of the filter element on the base is achieved.

[0025] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The water circuit connection plate is rotatably installed within the mounting groove of the base, while a mounting sleeve is fixedly installed on the base to stop the water circuit connection plate from detaching.

Finally, the filter element is rotated relative to the filter base assembly in the locking direction. The rotation of the filter element drives the water circuit... The connecting plate rotates synchronously, using a locking structure to lock and fix the filter element to the filter base assembly. When the filter element rotates to the locked state, the water pipe, connecting pipe, and water guide hole are connected in sequence. When the filter element needs to be removed for cleaning or replacement after long-term use, the filter element can be rotated relative to the filter base assembly in the unlocking direction. The filter element drives the water connecting plate to rotate, causing the connecting pipe and the water pipe on the filter base assembly to be misaligned. Then the filter element is removed. At this time, the water pipe of the filter base assembly is blocked by the water connecting plate, which can achieve the purpose of keeping the water pipe self-sealing after the filter element is removed.

[0035] like Figure 2-3 As shown, a valve structure is provided inside the water guide hole 111. When the filter element 1 is installed on the filter base assembly 2, the connecting pipe 31 activates the valve structure to the open state. When the filter element 1 is separated from the filter base assembly 2, the water guide hole 111 remains sealed through the valve structure. When the filter element 1 is separated from the filter base assembly 2, the filter element 1 can achieve self-sealing using the valve structure to prevent water leakage after the filter element 1 is removed. The valve structure includes an elastic element 112 and a sealing element 113 disposed in the corresponding water guide hole 111. The elastic element 112 has the ability to push the sealing element 113 to seal the opening end of the water guide hole 111. The connecting pipe 31 has a water guide notch 311 on its side wall. When the filter element 1 is installed on the filter base assembly 2, the connecting pipe 31 pushes the sealing member 113 away from the opening end of the corresponding water guide hole 111, so that the connecting pipe 31 communicates with the inner cavity of the filter element 1 through the water guide notch 311. After the filter element 1 is installed on the filter base assembly 2, the connecting pipe 31 of the water circuit connecting plate 3 is inserted into the water guide hole 111 of the filter element 1. The connecting pipe 31 pushes the sealing member 113 to move away from the opening end of the water guide hole 111, so that the connecting pipe 31 can communicate with the inner cavity of the filter element 1 through the water guide notch 311.

[0036] like Figure 3-5As shown, a second sealing ring 1111 is provided inside the water guide hole 111. When the connecting pipe 31 is inserted into the corresponding water guide hole 111, the outer side of the connecting pipe 31 is sealed to the inner wall of the water guide hole 111 through the second sealing ring 1111. The second sealing ring 1111 can seal and wrap the outer wall of the connecting pipe 31 inserted into the water guide hole 111, improving the water leakage prevention performance between the outer wall of the connecting pipe 31 and the inner wall of the water guide hole 111. The filter seat assembly 2 includes a seat body 21 and a mounting sleeve 22. The mounting groove 212 is opened on the seat body 21. The mounting sleeve 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 212, so that the water connection plate 3 and the mounting sleeve 22 are anti-detached. The water pipe 211 is installed through the base 21. The locking structure is located between the mounting part 11 and the mounting sleeve 22. During assembly, the water connection plate 3 is first rotated and placed in the mounting groove 212, and then the mounting sleeve 22 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 212, so that the lower end of the mounting sleeve 22 stops and prevents detachment from the upper end of the water connection plate 3. The base 21 has a groove 213 at the outlet end of the water pipe 211. A third sealing ring 2131 is installed inside the filter element 1. When the filter element 1 is in the unlocked state relative to the filter seat assembly 2, the water connection plate 3 and the seat 21 are sealed together by the third sealing ring 2131. When the filter element 1 drives the water connection plate 3 to be in the unlocked state relative to the filter seat assembly 2, the connecting pipe 31 of the water connection plate 3 and the water pipe 211 of the filter seat assembly 2 are misaligned. The third sealing ring 2131 can be used to seal the water between the outlet end of the water pipe 211 and the water connection plate 3. The side wall of the mounting sleeve 22 has a snap-fit ​​part. 221, the base body 21 has a snap-fit ​​groove 214 that connects to the mounting groove 212. The snap-fit ​​part 221 and the snap-fit ​​groove 214 engage and cooperate, so that the mounting sleeve 22 is positioned in the mounting groove 212 to prevent rotation. The snap-fit ​​part 221 is locked and fixed to the base body 21 by bolts. By using the snap-fit ​​positioning of the snap-fit ​​part 221 and the snap-fit ​​groove 214, the mounting sleeve 22 can be positioned in the base body 21 to prevent rotation. Then, the mounting sleeve 22 can be firmly locked to the base body 21 by bolts to complete the assembly of the mounting sleeve 22.The locking structure includes several locking blocks 114 and locking grooves 222. The locking blocks 114 are arranged in a ring along the horizontal direction on the side wall of the mounting part 11. The locking grooves 222 are correspondingly opened on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 22. The locking grooves 222 include a connected insertion section 2221 and a locking section 2222. The locking blocks 114 are inserted into the locking grooves 222 through the insertion section 2221 and rotated to lock into the corresponding locking section 2222. By utilizing the locking cooperation of the locking blocks 114 and the locking grooves 222, the mounting part 11 of the filter element 1 can be disassembled and assembled on the mounting sleeve 22, improving the ease of disassembly and assembly between the filter element 1 and the filter base assembly 2. The contact surface between the insertion section 2221 and the locking block 114 in the insertion direction is set as an arc-shaped guide surface 22211. When the locking block 114 is inserted into the insertion section 2221, the locking block 114 is guided into the corresponding locking section 2222 by the arc-shaped guide surface 22211. In addition, in this embodiment, The locking block 114 has a guide portion 1141 extending obliquely at its tail. During the process of the filter element 1 rotating relative to the filter seat assembly 2 from the locked state to the unlocked state, the guide portion 1141, in conjunction with the arc-shaped guide surface 22211, allows the locking block 114 to slide more smoothly from the locking section 2222 of the locking groove 222 to the insertion section 2221, facilitating the separation of the filter element 1 from the filter seat assembly 2. The bottom of the water channel connecting plate 3 has a protrusion 33, and the seat body 21 has an arc-shaped groove 215 corresponding to the protrusion 33. When the water channel connecting plate 3 rotates relative to the seat body 21, the protrusion 33 is constrained within the arc-shaped groove 215 and guided by it. The protrusion 33 and the arc-shaped groove 215 mutually guide and limit each other, thus restricting the rotation angle of the water channel connecting plate 3 on the seat body 21. Simultaneously, since the filter element 1 and the water channel connecting plate 3 are relatively anti-rotating, the limited rotation of the filter element 1 on the seat body 21 is achieved.

[0037] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows: A water connection plate 3 is rotatably installed in the mounting groove 212 of the base 21, and a mounting sleeve 22 is fixedly installed on the base 21. The mounting sleeve 22 is used to stop and prevent the water connection plate 3 from falling off. In addition, a locking structure is set between the mounting sleeve 22 and the mounting part 11 of the filter element 1. The base 21 is provided with a water pipe 211, and a connecting pipe 31 is provided through the water connection plate 3. The mounting part 11 is provided with a water guide hole 111. During assembly, the water connection plate 3 is first installed on the filter base assembly 2, and then the mounting part 11 of the filter element 1 is aligned with the water connection plate 3 and connected to the pre-installation position of the filter base assembly 2, so that the connecting pipe 31 on the water connection plate 3 is inserted into the water guide hole 111 of the filter element 1. Then, the filter element 1 is rotated relative to the filter base assembly 2 in the locking direction. When the filter element 1 rotates, it will drive the water connection plate 3 to rotate synchronously. The locking structure locks and fixes the filter element 1 to the filter base assembly 2. When the filter element 1 rotates to the locked state, the water pipe 211, the connecting pipe 31 and the water guide hole 111 are connected in sequence. When the filter element 1 needs to be removed for cleaning or replacement after long-term use, the filter element 1 can be rotated relative to the filter base assembly 2 in the unlocking direction. The filter element 1 drives the water connection plate 3 to rotate, so that the connecting pipe 31 and the water pipe 211 on the filter base assembly 2 are misaligned. Then the filter element 1 is removed. At this time, the water pipe 211 of the filter base assembly 2 is blocked by the water connection plate 3, which can achieve the purpose of keeping the water pipe 211 self-sealed after the filter element 1 is removed. It has the effects of convenient filter element installation and improved water leakage prevention performance of the filter base assembly after the filter element is removed.
