Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment, and in particular to a magnetic bypass valve cover structure used in water treatment equipment (water purifier or water softener). Background Technology

[0002] In water purifiers, the bypass valve serves the following functions: It allows for easy switching between softened or purified water and tap water, adjusts the mixing ratio of softened and tap water, and facilitates future maintenance and repairs. When the bypass valve is fully open, tap water enters the central unit; when it is fully closed, tap water still flows but does not enter the machine; when the bypass valve is not fully open, the treated water mixes with the tap water. The degree of valve opening determines the mixing ratio. Therefore, the bypass valve knob needs to be operated relatively frequently.

[0003] In existing technology, to facilitate the installation and connection of the bypass valve to external pipelines and the frequent operation of the bypass valve switch, the bypass valve usually extends out of the machine housing. A certain amount of space is generally reserved at the top of the bypass valve to facilitate the rotary switch operation. However, this inevitably leaves a large space between the top cover and the bottom housing. While this space facilitates the operation of the bypass switch, it also allows small animals such as mice to crawl into the machine, damaging the cables and potentially causing machine malfunctions.

[0004] In order to solve the problem of mice crawling into the machine, some existing technologies use a high cover to completely cover the bypass valve. However, when the bypass switch needs to be operated, the high cover needs to be completely removed, which greatly reduces the convenience of operation and results in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model description section introduces a series of simplified concepts, all of which are simplifications of existing technologies in the field, and will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. This utility model description section is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a magnetic bypass valve cover structure that can cover the space between the bypass valve and the cover of a water treatment device (water purifier or water softener), prevent small animals from entering the water treatment device, and is easy to remove and install.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a magnetically attracted bypass valve baffle structure, including...

[0008] The high cover 1 is mounted on the bypass valve 3 on the top of the bottom shell 2;

[0009] A bypass opening 4 is formed on one side of the high cover 1, which allows the bypass valve 3 to connect to the external pipeline via its horizontal and top interfaces.

[0010] The upper bypass cover 5 has its plug-in cover installed on the upper part of the bypass opening 4, and its exposed surface is flush with the side wall of the high cover 1.

[0011] The lower bypass cover 6 has a magnetic cover installed at the lower part of the bypass opening and located below the horizontal interface of the bypass valve 3. Its exposed surface is flush with the side wall of the high cover 1.

[0012] The connection port is formed between the upper bypass baffle 5 and the lower bypass baffle 6, and is jointly enclosed by the upper bypass baffle 5 and the lower bypass baffle 6, which exposes the horizontal interface of the bypass valve 3.

[0013] The horizontal and top interfaces of the bypass valve 3 are both located within the plane of the bypass opening 4.

[0014] Preferably, the magnetic bypass valve cover structure is further improved, wherein the first plug-in structure 8 is formed on the inner side wall of the bypass opening 4, and it cooperates with the second plug-in structure 9 to form a plug-in fixation.

[0015] The second insertion structure 9 is formed on the inner sidewall of the upper bypass cover 5.

[0016] Preferably, the magnetic bypass valve cover structure is further improved, and the first plug-in structure 8 is formed as a plug-in post.

[0017] The second plug-in structure 9 is formed as a plug-in sleeve.

[0018] Preferably, the magnetic bypass valve baffle structure is further improved, wherein the first magnetic component 7 is fixedly installed at the position where the lower bypass baffle 6 contacts the top of the bottom shell 2, and is fixed to the second magnetic component by magnetic attraction.

[0019] The second magnetic component is formed at the position where the top of the bottom shell 2 contacts the lower bypass baffle 6;

[0020] Preferably, the magnetic bypass valve baffle structure is further improved, wherein the first magnetic element 7 is formed as a ring magnet;

[0021] The second magnetic element is formed as a cylindrical magnet that can be inserted into the first magnetic element 7.

[0022] Preferably, the magnetic bypass valve cover structure is further improved, and the high cover 1 above the bypass opening 4 is formed as a first arc surface;

[0023] The upper part of the upper bypass baffle 5 is formed into a second arc surface that is flush with the first arc surface.

[0024] Preferably, the magnetic bypass valve baffle structure is further improved, and the lower bypass baffle 6 includes:

[0025] The lower cover 6.1 has extensions 6.2 on both sides for inserting the bypass opening 4;

[0026] The first magnetic element 7 is formed at the position where the bottom of the extension 6.2 contacts the top of the bottom shell 2.

[0027] The usage process and technical effects of this utility model are as follows;

[0028] First, it should be noted that the shape of the bottom shell and bypass valve of the water treatment equipment is not limited, as long as the bottom shell can be installed together with the cover and the cover and its auxiliary structures can cover the bypass valve. That is, the cover of this utility model can be any shape that can be adapted to the bottom shell and bypass valve.

[0029] In use, the lower bypass cover is fixed by magnetic attraction between the first magnetic component mounted on it and the second magnetic component mounted on the bottom shell.

[0030] The upper bypass cover is fixed to the high cover by inserting and fixing the upper bypass cover with the first insertion structure on the inner side wall of the bypass opening through the second insertion structure provided on it.

[0031] At this point, the gap between the bypass valve and the high cover is blocked by the upper and lower bypass baffles, and the upper bypass baffle also prevents dust from falling into the top interface of the bypass valve.

[0032] When the user needs to operate the bypass switch, simply lift the upper bypass cover upwards to expose the bypass valve operating port for switching operations. After the operation is completed, lower the upper bypass cover back onto the high cover, and the machine will resume its function of blocking the bypass valve.

[0033] If it is necessary to remove the lower bypass cover, the operation is more convenient because the lower bypass cover is fixed by magnetic attraction.

[0034] This invention effectively blocks the gap between the bypass valve and the cover, and its simple structure greatly improves the convenience of opening and closing the bypass valve. It solves the shortcomings of existing water softener bypass valves, which often lack sufficient protection against rodents or other animals, or offer adequate protection but poor installation and operation convenience. It effectively prevents rodents and other animals from entering the cover and damaging the water softener cables, thus avoiding water treatment equipment malfunctions. Attached Figure Description
