[0028] The principles and structure of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7The application provides a water purifier, which comprises a water purifier case and a filter core 3. A plurality of filter core seats 2 for mounting the filter core 3 and a water circuit board are arranged in the shell 1 of the water purifier case, one end of the filter core seat 2 away from the filter core 3 is mounted on the water circuit board, and the water inlet and outlet interfaces at the bottom of the filter core seat 2 are connected with the water circuit board.

[0030] Wherein, as shown in the orientation of Figures 2 to 4 two accommodating cavities are arranged at the two sides of the bottom end of the filter core seat 2, the two accommodating cavities are provided with locking assemblies 21, and the two locking assemblies 21 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the filter core seat 2. This design makes the two ends of the filter core seat 2 bear force uniformly, thereby improving the reliability of the whole.

[0031] The locking assembly 21 is connected with the filter core seat 2 through a first elastic member 211, and each locking assembly 21 is further provided with a limiting hole 212 on the side facing the inside of the filter core seat 2. When the filter core 3 needs to be mounted on the filter core seat 2, the filter core 3 is pressed towards the filter core seat 2, the filter core 3 will contact the locking assembly 21, the locking assembly 21 is extruded by the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter core 3 and moves to the outside of the filter core seat 2, so that the filter core 3 can continue to move towards the filter core seat 2. Since the first elastic member 211 continuously applies force to the locking assembly 21 towards the inside of the filter core seat 2, when the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter core 3 reaches the position where the limiting hole 212 is located, the locking assembly 21 will move towards the inside of the filter core seat 2, at this time, the limiting hole 212 accommodates the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter core 3, so that the filter core 3 is clamped with the filter core seat 2, thereby completing the operation of mounting the filter core 3 in the water purifier case.

[0032] The sliding buckle 22 is arranged in the limiting hole 212 and can move up and down in the limiting hole 212. When the filter element 3 needs to be replaced, the filter element 3 in the water purifier cabinet needs to be disassembled, at this time, the filter element 3 is continuously pressed towards the filter element seat 2, the filter element 3 first contacts the upper end of the sliding buckle 22, and drives the sliding buckle 22 to move downwards in the limiting hole 212. When the sliding buckle 22 reaches the bottom of the limiting hole 212, the sliding buckle 22 cannot move downwards any more, at this time, the sliding buckle 22 is extruded by the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3 and drives the locking assembly 21 to move towards the outside of the filter element seat 2, until the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3 passes the upper end of the sliding buckle 22 and reaches the lower end of the sliding buckle 22, the locking assembly 21 moves towards the inside of the filter element seat 2 under the action of the first elastic element 211, so that the lower end of the sliding buckle 22 abuts against the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3. At this time, the filter element 3 is pulled out in the direction away from the filter element seat 2, when the filter element 3 rises, the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3 drives the sliding buckle 22 to move upwards in the limiting hole 212. When the sliding buckle 22 reaches the top of the limiting hole 212, the sliding buckle 22 cannot move upwards any more, at this time, the sliding buckle 22 is extruded by the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3 and drives the locking assembly 21 to move towards the outside of the filter element seat 2, so that the filter element 3 can pass the locking assembly 21 and continue to move upwards until it is disengaged from the filter element seat 2, thereby completing the operation of disassembling the filter element 3 from the water purifier cabinet.

[0033] Further, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The locking assembly 21 comprises a movable block 213, a locking block 214 and a mounting block 215, the movable block 213 is installed in the accommodating cavities on both sides of the bottom end of the filter element seat 2 and can move left and right in the accommodating cavities. The locking block 214 and the mounting block 215 are installed on the side of the movable block 213 facing the inside of the filter element seat 2, it is noted that the locking block 214 and the mounting block 215 are arranged in parallel, and the locking block 214 is above the mounting block 215, and the gap between the locking block 214 and the mounting block 215 is the limiting hole 212. The first elastic element 211 is installed between the movable block 213 and the filter element seat 2, specifically, one end of the first elastic element 211 is connected to the side of the movable block 213 away from the locking block 214 and the mounting block 215, and the other end of the first elastic element 211 is connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the filter element seat 2, in this embodiment, the first elastic element 211 is a spring. This makes the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3 have a tendency to move close to the inside of the filter element seat 2 when it reaches the limiting hole 212 between the locking block 214 and the mounting block 215, the movable block 213 moves towards the inside of the filter element seat 2 under the action of the first elastic element 211, so that the limiting hole 212 and the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3 are engaged together, to ensure that the filter element 3 can be stably installed on the water purifier cabinet.

[0034] The limiting hole 212 is further provided with a guide rod 216, the two ends of which are connected to the locking block 214 and the mounting block 215 respectively, and the guide rod 216 is arranged perpendicular to the plane on which the locking block 214 and the mounting block 215 are located. The sliding buckle 22 is provided with a through hole for the guide rod 216 to pass through. The sliding buckle 22 is movably mounted on the guide rod 216 through the through hole and can move up and down between the locking block 214 and the mounting block 215 along the guide rod 216.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the top of the locking block 214 is the locking section 217, which has a sloping design. When the filter element 3 needs to be installed on the filter element holder 2, the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3 contacts the locking section 217 at the top of the locking block 214. The movable block 213 will gradually move outward from the filter element holder 2 under the interaction force of the boss 31 and the locking block 214. The sloping design of the locking section 217 makes it difficult for the boss 31 and the locking block 214 to get stuck, ensuring the overall reliability.

[0036] Here, a wedge-shaped block 221 is provided on the top of the sliding buckle 22. The side of the wedge-shaped block 221 facing the locking block 214 is designed to be inclined. At the bottom of the locking block 214, there is also a receiving groove 218 for accommodating the wedge-shaped block 221. The contact surfaces of the bottom of the locking block 214 and the top of the sliding buckle 22 are both flat. When the sliding buckle 22 and the locking block 214 are tightly fitted, the wedge-shaped block 221 enters the receiving groove 218. Specifically, when it is necessary to remove the filter element 3 from the filter element seat 2, the filter element 3 is pressed towards the filter element seat 2. The downward movement of the filter element 3 will drive the sliding buckle 22 to move downward along the guide rod 216 within the limiting hole 212. When the sliding buckle 22 moves to the bottom of the limiting hole 212 and abuts against the mounting block 215, the sliding buckle 22 can no longer move downward, and the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3 will contact the wedge-shaped block 221 on the top of the sliding buckle 22. The movable block 213 gradually moves outward from the filter element seat 2 under the interaction force of the boss 31 and the wedge block 221, allowing the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter element 3 to pass over the top of the sliding buckle 22 and reach the release section 222 at the bottom of the sliding buckle 22. Then, under the action of the first elastic element 211, the movable block 213 moves inward from the filter element seat 2, causing the boss 31 to abut against the release section 222 at the bottom of the sliding buckle 22. At this time, the filter element 3 is pulled out away from the filter element seat 2, and the sliding buckle 22 moves upward along with the filter element 3. When the sliding buckle 22 moves to abut against the locking block 214, the sliding buckle 22 can no longer move upward. The movable block 213 moves outward from the filter element seat 2 under the interaction force of the boss 31 and the release section 222 at the bottom of the sliding buckle 22, allowing the filter element 3 to continue to move upward, thereby removing the filter element 3 from the filter element seat 2. To ensure that the sliding buckle 22 can move together with the filter element 3, the length of the sliding buckle 22 is greater than the length of the locking block 214. In order to avoid the filter element 3 getting stuck with the sliding buckle 22 and thus being unable to be smoothly removed from the filter element seat 2, the release section 222 at the bottom of the sliding buckle 22 is also designed as a slope.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a second elastic element 23 is also provided inside the filter element holder 2. Specifically, one end of the second elastic element 23 is connected to the bottom inner wall of the filter element holder 2, and the other end is a free end. When the filter element 3 is installed on the filter element holder 2, the end face of the filter element 3 facing the filter element holder 2 will abut against the free end of the second elastic element 23. The filter element 3 is constantly inclined to move away from the filter element holder 2 due to the force exerted by the second elastic element 23. When it is necessary to install the filter element 3 on the filter element holder 2, the second elastic element 23 applies an upward force to the filter element 3, thus strengthening the abutment between the upper end of the boss 31 and the lower end of the locking block 214, making the installation between the filter element 3 and the filter element holder 2 more stable and preventing the filter element 3 from shaking during use. In this embodiment, the second elastic element 23 is a spring.

[0038] The application also provides a water purifier comprising the filter element 3. As shown in the orientation, the filter element 3 is provided with a boss 31 on both sides of the bottom, the top of the boss 31 is designed as a plane, and the bottom of the boss 31 is designed as an inclined surface. The plane on the top of the boss 31 can abut against the plane on the bottom of the locking block 214, so that the boss 31 can be clamped in the limiting hole 212, and the inclined surface on the bottom of the boss 31 can cooperate with the locking segment 217 on the top of the locking block 214 and the wedge-shaped block 221 on the top of the sliding buckle 22, so that the movable block 213 can smoothly move towards the outside of the filter element seat 2. Figure 3

[0039] In actual use, as shown in the orientation, Figure 4 and Figure 7 when it is needed to install the filter element 3 into the water purifier case, first, the filter element 3 is aligned with the filter element seat 2 and pressed towards the filter element seat 2, the boss 31 on the bottom of the filter element 3 will first contact the locking segment 217 on the top of the locking block 214 after the filter element 3 enters the filter element seat 2, and under the action of the boss 31, the locking block 214 will drive the movable block 213 to move towards the outside of the filter element seat 2, so that the filter element 3 can continue to move towards the filter element seat 2. When the boss 31 on the bottom of the filter element 3 passes over the top of the locking block 214 to the bottom of the locking block 214, the movable block 213 will move towards the inside of the filter element seat 2 under the action of the first elastic member 211, so that the boss 31 of the filter element 3 is clamped with the limiting hole 212. And the bottom surface of the filter element 3 contacts the second elastic member 23 in the filter element seat 2, under the action of the second elastic member 23, the boss 31 of the filter element 3 is tightly abutted with the locking block 214, thereby completing the operation of installing the filter element 3 into the water purifier case.

[0040] ​When the filter core 3 needs to be replaced, the original filter core 3 in the filter core seat 2 needs to be disassembled. First, press the filter core 3 towards the filter core seat 2, the boss 31 at the bottom of the original filter core 3 is located between the locking block 214 and the sliding buckle 22, the boss 31 at the bottom of the filter core 3 will contact the sliding buckle 22 with the movement of the filter core 3, the sliding buckle 22 moves towards the filter core seat 2 with the filter core 3, when the sliding buckle 22 moves to abut against the mounting block 215, it cannot move again, the bottom of the boss 31 abuts against the wedge-shaped block 221 at the top of the sliding buckle 22, with the continuous movement of the filter core 3 towards the filter core seat 2, the boss 31 extrudes the wedge-shaped block 221 to make the sliding buckle 22 drive the movable block 213 to move towards the outside of the filter core seat 2, until the boss 31 moves to the release section 222 at the bottom of the sliding buckle 22. Because the second elastic member 23 is compressed during the downward movement of the filter core 3, when the filter core 3 is pressed towards the filter core seat 2, the filter core 3 is upwardly moved under the action of the rebound force of the second elastic member 23, at this time the boss 31 drives the sliding buckle 22 to rise together, when the sliding buckle 22 abuts against the locking block 214, it cannot rise again, the release section 222 at the bottom of the sliding buckle 22 is extruded by the upward force of the boss 31, so that the movable block 213 moves towards the outside of the filter core seat 2, so that the filter core 3 can continue to move upwards until it is separated from the filter core seat 2, when the filter core 3 is separated from the filter core seat 2, the movable block 213 is reset under the action of the first elastic member 211, thereby completing the work of disassembling the filter core 3 from the water purifier case.

[0041] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
