Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter technology, specifically a modular filter replacement reminder device. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component in the filtration industry, filter cartridges play an indispensable role in various purification scenarios. They are mainly used to separate solid particles from liquids or gases, or to promote full contact between different substances to accelerate reactions. Their working principle is that when fluid flows into a filter cartridge containing a filter screen of a specific size, impurities are blocked, while clean fluid flows out. Due to their excellent performance, filter cartridges are often used in water purification systems.
[0003] When filter cartridges are used in filter bottles for water purification, many solid particles will be adsorbed onto the filter cartridges. Over time, this can lead to filter cartridge blockage. Existing technologies typically cannot detect filter cartridge blockage and therefore cannot prompt users to replace the filter cartridges. Therefore, a modular filter cartridge replacement reminder device is proposed to address the above problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular filter replacement reminder device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the prior art usually cannot remind users to replace the filter.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A modular filter cartridge replacement reminder device includes a filter bottle, a connecting pipe installed on the top of the filter bottle and communicating with the filter bottle, a mounting frame installed on the top of the connecting pipe, and water pipes disposed on the left and right sides of the connecting pipe. A fixed shell is provided between the water pipes and the connecting pipe. Telescopic flexible hoses communicating with the fixed shell are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the fixed shell. A threaded joint communicating with the telescopic flexible hose is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic flexible hose away from the fixed shell. A pressure sensor communicating with the fixed shell is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed shell. A wire is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressure sensor. A reminder control device is installed between the two wires.
[0007] Preferably, two of the threaded joints are threadedly connected to and pass through the water pipe on the side closest to the water pipe, and the other two threaded joints are threadedly connected to and pass through the connecting pipe on the side closest to the connecting pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the prompting control device includes a controller fixedly connected between two wires, and a buzzer is mounted on the top of the controller.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the controller is fixedly connected to an adsorption magnet, which is magnetically connected to the bottom of the inner side of the mounting frame.
[0010] Preferably, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the controller via a wire, and the buzzer is electrically connected to the controller.
[0011] Preferably, a background plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the fixed shell, and an observation lens penetrating the fixed shell is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed shell.
[0012] Preferably, a laser light penetrating the fixed shell is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed shell, and both the laser light and the observation lens are horizontally aligned with the center of the background plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, by setting a fixed shell, telescopic hose, threaded joint, pressure sensor, wire, prompt control device, controller, buzzer and adsorption magnet, when the filter bottle is used for a period of time, the water pressure difference between the two fixed shells increases, indicating that the filter element in the filter bottle is blocked. At this time, the controller sends a signal to the buzzer, and the buzzer alarms to remind the user that the filter element needs to be replaced. This design can monitor the water pressure in the two fixed shells, thereby determining whether the filter element is blocked and prompting the operator to replace the filter element.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, by setting a background plate, an observation lens, and laser lights, two laser lights can be turned on when it is necessary to detect whether the filter element is damaged. The light column in front of the background plate can be observed through the observation lens. If the filter bottle is working normally, a clear light column can be observed in the fixed shell on the left, and the light column in the fixed shell on the right is almost transparent. If the filter element in the filter bottle is damaged, a clear light column can be observed in both fixed shells. This design allows the operator to intuitively observe the filtration effect of the filter bottle, thereby judging whether the filter element is damaged and replacing it. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] A modular filter cartridge replacement reminder device includes a filter bottle 1, a connecting pipe 2 installed at the top of the filter bottle 1 and communicating with the filter bottle 1, a mounting frame 3 installed at the top of the connecting pipe 2, and water pipes 4 disposed on the left and right sides of the connecting pipe 2. A fixing shell 5 is provided between the water pipes 4 and the connecting pipe 2. Telescopic flexible hoses 6, communicating with the fixing shell 5, are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the fixing shell 5. A threaded connector 7, communicating with the telescopic flexible hose 6, is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic flexible hose 6 away from the fixing shell 5. A pressure sensor 8, communicating with the fixing shell 5, is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing shell 5. A wire 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressure sensor 8. A reminder control device 10 is installed between the two wires 9. Two of the threaded connectors 7 are threadedly connected to and communicating with the water pipe 4 on the side closer to the water pipe 4, and the other two threaded connectors 7 are threadedly connected to and communicating with the connecting pipe 2 on the side closer to the connecting pipe 2. The reminder control device 10 includes components fixedly connected to the two... The controller 101 is connected to the wires 9. A buzzer 102 is installed at the top of the controller 101. An adsorption magnet 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the controller 101. The adsorption magnet 103 is magnetically connected to the bottom of the inner side of the mounting frame 3. The pressure sensor 8 is electrically connected to the controller 101 through the wires 9. The buzzer 102 is electrically connected to the controller 101. Through the fixed shell 5, telescopic hose 6, threaded joint 7, pressure sensor 8, wires 9, prompt control device 10, controller 101, buzzer 102 and adsorption magnet 103, when the filter bottle 1 is used for a period of time, the water pressure difference between the two fixed shells 5 increases, indicating that the filter element in the filter bottle 1 is blocked. At this time, the controller 101 sends a signal to the buzzer 102, and the buzzer 102 alarms to remind the user that the filter element needs to be replaced. This design can monitor the water pressure in the two fixed shells 5 to determine whether the filter element is blocked and prompt the operator to replace the filter element.
[0027] A background plate 11 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the fixed shell 5. An observation lens 12 is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixed shell 5, penetrating the fixed shell 5. A laser lamp 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed shell 5, penetrating the fixed shell 5. The laser lamp 13 and the observation lens 12 are both horizontally aligned with the center of the background plate 11. By using the background plate 11, the observation lens 12, and the laser lamp 13, when it is necessary to detect whether the filter element is damaged, the two laser lamps 13 can be turned on, and the light column in front of the background plate 11 can be observed through the observation lens 12. If the filter bottle 1 is working normally, a clear light column can be observed in the fixed shell 5 on the left side, and the light column in the fixed shell 5 on the right side is almost transparent. If the filter element in the filter bottle 1 is damaged, a clear light column can be observed in both fixed shells 5. This design allows the operator to intuitively observe the filtration effect of the filter bottle 1, thereby judging whether the filter element is damaged and replacing the filter element.
[0028] Workflow: Before use, install all components on the equipment and power it on. First, install the filter bottle 1, placing it between the two water pipes 4, ensuring the connecting pipe 2 and water pipe 4 are horizontally aligned. Secure the mounting frame 3 with expansion bolts to fix the filter bottle 1 in place. Then, install the fixing shell 5 and its connecting components. Place the indicator control device 10 in the center of the bottom inner side of the mounting frame 3, magnetically connecting the adsorption magnet 103 to the inner side of the mounting frame 3. Next, place the two fixing shells 5 between the water pipes 4 and the connecting pipe 2, and use the water pipes 4 and connecting pipe 2 to... The threaded connector 7 at one end of the telescopic hose 6 is fixed so that the side of the threaded connector 7 closest to the water pipe 4 is threadedly connected to and passes through the water pipe 4. The other two threaded connectors 7 are threadedly connected to and pass through the connecting pipe 2, thus completing the installation of all components on the device. When using the filter bottle 1 for the first time, the water valve is opened to allow water to enter the filter bottle 1 through the water pipe 4. Since the filter bottle 1 filters the water, the water pressure in the fixed shells 5 on the left and right sides of the filter bottle 1 is inconsistent. The pressure sensor 8 sends a signal to the controller 101 through the wire 9. The controller 101 records the initial water pressure in the two fixed housings 5. After the filter bottle 1 has been used for a period of time, the water pressure difference between the two fixed housings 5 increases, indicating that the filter element in the filter bottle 1 is clogged. At this time, the controller 101 sends a signal to the buzzer 102, which sounds an alarm to remind the user that the filter element needs to be replaced. The design of the control device 10 and its connecting components enables it to monitor the water pressure in the two fixed housings 5, thereby determining whether the filter element is clogged and prompting the operator to replace the filter element. During the use of the filter bottle 1, the filter element in the filter bottle 1 may be damaged. When the filter bottle 1 is not in use, the user cannot know that it is not filtering. When it is necessary to check whether the filter element is damaged, two laser lights 13 can be turned on, and the light column in front of the background plate 11 can be observed through the observation lens 12. When the filter bottle 1 is working normally, a clear light column can be observed in the fixed shell 5 on the left, and the light column in the fixed shell 5 on the right is almost transparent. If the filter element in the filter bottle 1 is damaged, a clear light column can be observed in both fixed shells 5. This design allows the operator to intuitively observe the filtering effect of the filter bottle 1, thereby judging whether the filter element is damaged and replacing it.
