[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, device, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units need not be limited to only those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products or apparatus.

[0027] The embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which do not limit the disclosure described in the claims in any way.

[0028] A condenser provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below in combination with the accompanying drawings, which is applied to a water purifier. The water purifier includes a hot water generator 1, as shown in Figures 1-3 The water purifier includes:

[0029] The condensing pipeline 2 has a first inlet 21, a first outlet 22, and a bent section 23 between the first inlet 21 and the first outlet 22, and the first inlet 21 is in communication with the air outlet 11 of the hot water generator 1.

[0030] The water storage condenser 3 has a condensate storage cavity, and a second inlet and a second outlet 31 connected to the condensate storage cavity. The second inlet is connected to the first outlet 22 of the condensate pipe 2, and the second outlet 31 is connected to the outside.

[0031] The aforementioned condenser connects the first inlet 21 to the outlet 11 of the hot water generator 1, allowing the steam generated by the hot water generator 1 to enter the condensing pipe 2 through the first inlet 21. The condensing pipe 2 condenses the steam to generate condensate, which is then connected to the first outlet 22 of the condensing pipe 2 through the second inlet. This allows the generated condensate to enter the condensate storage cavity for storage, preventing direct discharge of condensate and avoiding problems such as dampness and mold growth in the cabinet. Simultaneously, the remaining steam after flowing through the condensing pipe 2 enters the condensate storage cavity through the second inlet for re-condensation, further improving the condensation effect. By setting the second outlet 31 of the water storage condenser 3 to connect to the outside, when the hot water generator 1 discharges water, the internal air pressure of the hot water generator 1 decreases, and the condensate in the water storage condenser 3 flows back to the hot water generator 1, further preventing direct discharge of condensate and allowing for reuse of condensate, thus saving water resources.

[0032] Specifically, both the water storage condenser 3 and the condensing pipe 2 can be made of metal. Preferably, both the condensing pipe 2 and the water storage condenser 3 are made of stainless steel. Using stainless steel as the material for the water storage condenser 3 and the condensing pipe 2 is cost-effective and does not easily rust.

[0033] Specifically, the shape of the water storage condenser 3 can be spherical, cylindrical, conical, etc., and this application does not make any specific limitation.

[0034] In some embodiments, the condensing pipe 2 and the water storage condenser 3 are integrally formed.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the position of the bend section 23 is lower than the position of the first inlet 21 and lower than the position of the second inlet of the water storage condenser 3. This arrangement ensures that the condensate generated in the condensation pipe 2 is first stored in the bend section 23. The condensate in the bend section 23 is then pushed into the water storage condenser 3 by the subsequent steam. Before being pushed into the water storage condenser 3, the subsequent steam passes through the condensate in the bend section 23, thus filtering out the water vapor in the steam, further improving the condensation effect of the steam, and preventing the discharge of water vapor.

[0036] In some embodiments, the bend section 23 is provided with a U-shaped portion that extends toward the side opposite to the first inlet 21 and the water storage condenser 3. By defining the U-shaped portion on the bend section 23, the U-shaped portion not only enables water storage but also facilitates the return flow of condensate.

[0037] In some embodiments, the bend section 23 may also be provided with an S-shaped portion, which extends toward the side opposite to the first inlet 21 and the water storage condenser 3. By defining the S-shaped portion, not only can condensate be stored, but the condensation effect of steam can also be improved.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the condenser pipe 2 also includes an air inlet pipe section 24 located between the first inlet 21 and the bend section 23, with the air inlet pipe section 24 positioned higher than the first inlet 21. This arrangement reduces the resistance to steam entering the condenser pipe 2.

[0039] Specifically, the intake pipe section 24 is provided with an inverted U-shaped part, which extends towards the first inlet 21 and the water storage condenser 3.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, two or more bends 23 are provided between the first inlet 21 and the first outlet 22. This arrangement ensures that steam passes through two or more bends 23 before entering the water storage condenser 3, further improving the condensation effect of the condensing pipe 2. This allows most of the steam to condense into water within the condensing pipe 2, while also enabling the condensing pipe 2 to store more condensate, thus filtering out more steam before it enters the water storage cooler.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the condenser also includes a cooling pipe 4, which is arranged around the periphery of the water storage condenser 3. This arrangement further reduces the internal temperature of the water storage condenser 3, allowing the steam in the condensate storage cavity to be fully condensed and preventing steam from escaping and causing problems such as dampness and mold growth in the cabinet.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cooling pipe 4 is spirally wound around the periphery of the water storage condenser 3. By using a spiral winding method to arrange the cooling pipe 4 around the periphery of the water storage condenser 3, the contact area between the cooling pipe 4 and the outer surface of the water storage condenser 3 is increased, further reducing the internal temperature of the water storage condenser 3, so that the steam can be fully condensed.

[0043] Specifically, the cooling pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water storage condenser 3. The fixed connection method can be welding, riveting, etc., as long as the cooling pipe 4 can be fixed to the periphery of the water storage condenser 3. This application does not limit the fixed connection method.

[0044] Preferably, the cooling pipe 4 is wound around the water storage condenser 3 in no less than 5 turns.

[0045] Preferably, the cooling pipe 4 is wound around the water storage condenser 3 in 5 turns.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cooling pipe 4 has an inlet 41 and an outlet 42. The water purifier includes a filter for filtering tap water and a cold water outlet. The filter has a filtered cold water outlet, which is connected to the inlet 41 of the cooling pipe 4, and the cold water outlet is connected to the outlet 42 of the cooling pipe 4. In this embodiment, the filtered cold water flows out from the filtered cold water outlet, passes through the cooling pipe 4, and then flows out from the cold water outlet of the water purifier, enabling the cooling pipe 4 to lower the temperature of the water storage condenser 3.

[0047] In some embodiments, the water purifier also includes a hot water outlet, and the hot water generator 1 has an outlet connected to the outlet of the hot water generator 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the condenser also includes a condenser screen 5, which is installed in the condensate storage cavity. Steam enters from the second inlet and can pass through the condenser screen 5 to reach the second outlet 31. This arrangement allows the remaining steam passing through the condenser pipe 2 to enter the condensate storage cavity and condense on the condenser screen 5, thereby further improving the steam condensation effect.

[0049] Specifically, the shape of the condenser mesh 5 can be circular, rectangular, elliptical, etc., and this application does not make any specific limitation.

[0050] In some embodiments, the condenser includes two or more condensing screens 5, which are spaced apart along the rising direction of the steam in the condensate storage cavity. By setting multiple condensing screens 5 inside the condensate storage cavity, the remaining steam can undergo multi-layer condensation as it rises, greatly avoiding steam leakage and further improving the condensation effect of the condenser.

[0051] Specifically, there are two condenser meshes (5).

[0052] In some embodiments, the condenser mesh 5 is inclined within the condensate storage cavity of the water storage condenser 3. By inclining the condenser mesh 5, the condensate on the mesh 5 can more easily collect at the bottom of the condensate storage cavity, and the inclined mesh 5 has a larger condensation area, which can further improve the condensation effect.

[0053] Specifically, the condenser mesh 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water storage condenser 3. The fixed connection method can be welding, riveting, etc., as long as the condenser mesh 5 can be fixed inside the condenser water storage cavity. This application does not limit the fixed connection method.

[0054] Specifically, the material of the condensing net 5 can be metal. Preferably, the material of the condensing net 5 is stainless steel. By using stainless steel as the material of the condensing net 5, the cost is low and rust is not easy to occur.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The condenser further comprises a secondary condensing part 6, which is arranged on the side of the second outlet 31 away from the second inlet, so that the steam can pass through the secondary condensing part 6 and be discharged after being discharged from the second outlet 31. By arranging the secondary condensing part 6, the steam discharged from the second outlet 31 can be condensed again, thereby further reducing the discharge of steam and avoiding problems such as rotting and mildewing of the cabinet.

[0056] Specifically, the secondary condensing part 6 is formed in the direction away from the second inlet from the second outlet 31 of the water storage condenser 3.

[0057] The specific embodiments of the utility model are introduced based on the above technical solutions.

[0062] The working process of the condenser of the embodiment is as follows: the steam of the hot water generator 1 enters the first inlet 21 of the condensing pipeline 2 from the gas outlet 11, and after condensing in the condensing pipeline 2, the condensed water is collected in the U-shaped part of the condensing pipeline 2; with the subsequent steam continuously entering the condensing pipeline 2 from the first inlet 21, the condensed water collected in the U-shaped part is pushed into the cavity of the water storage condenser 3 through the first outlet 22 under the pushing of the subsequent steam, and the remaining steam in the condensing pipeline 2 also enters the cavity of the water storage condenser 3 to condense; after the remaining steam in the water storage condenser 3 goes out from the second outlet 31, the remaining steam is condensed by the secondary condensing part 6 and then discharged; when the hot water in the hot water generator 1 flows out to the hot water outlet, the internal pressure of the hot water generator 1 is reduced, so that the condensed water stored in the water storage condenser 3 and part of the condensed water stored in the U-shaped part flow back to the inside of the hot water generator 1 through the gas outlet 11.
