Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purifier technology, specifically to a kettle and a water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, they are paying increasing attention to the health of their drinking water. Water purifiers have become an indispensable kitchen appliance in modern homes. Water purifiers filter various impurities from raw water using filter cartridges to obtain purified water. However, while removing impurities, the filter cartridges also remove beneficial minerals from the raw water. Long-term consumption of purified water lacking beneficial minerals can affect the body's immune function and cause the loss of some beneficial nutrients.

[0003] Currently, water purifiers with mineralization functions typically achieve remineralization of purified water by incorporating a mineralization filter cartridge. When water flows through the mineralization filter cartridge, the mineralizing material components inside release a certain concentration of minerals into the water, thus producing mineralized water. The mineralization filter cartridge is usually installed in the water purifier in a detachable manner using threaded connections or other methods; however, this method is not very convenient and does not allow for quick installation or removal of the mineralization filter cartridge. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, according to one aspect of the present invention, a kettle is provided, the technical solution of which is as follows.

[0005] The kettle includes a kettle body and a mineralizing filter element. The kettle body has a kettle side wall and a kettle bottom wall, which together form a water storage cavity. The mineralizing filter element is placed inside the water storage cavity. The mineralizing filter element has a shell and a mineralizing material assembly. The shell together form a filtration cavity, and the mineralizing material assembly is placed inside the filtration cavity. The shell has a connecting part, and the kettle side wall has a mating part. The mating part and the connecting part are detachably connected. The mating part or the connecting part has a through-hole for water flow, and when the mating part and the connecting part are connected, the through-hole for water flow is connected to the filtration cavity.

[0006] The kettle of this utility model, on the one hand, is based on a mineralization filter element, and because the water passage is connected to the filter chamber when the mating part and the connecting part are connected, water can flow into or out of the filter chamber through the water passage, thereby mineralizing the water through the mineralization material component; on the other hand, the mineralization filter element is an independent component with a simple structure, and users can choose whether to install it as needed, making it flexible in use. Moreover, since the mating part and the connecting part are detachably connected, the mineralization filter element can be quickly installed or removed, making it convenient to operate.

[0007] For example, the mating part is constructed as a protrusion extending into the water storage chamber, and the connecting part is constructed as a slot; or, the connecting part is constructed as a protrusion extending outward from the filter chamber, and the mating part is constructed as a slot; the protrusion passes through the slot, and the water passage hole is provided on the protrusion. This facilitates the detachable connection of the mating part and the connecting part. When installing the mineralizing filter element, only the protrusion needs to mate with the slot; when removing the mineralizing filter element, only the protrusion needs to be separated from the slot. The operation is convenient, allowing for quick installation or removal of the mineralizing filter element, while also possessing a simple structure that is easy to manufacture.

[0008] For example, the housing includes a shell body and a partition. The shell body is divided into a first part and a second part by the partition. The filter chamber includes a first chamber and a second chamber. The partition and the first part enclose the first chamber to form the first chamber, and the partition and the second part enclose the second chamber to form the second chamber. The mineralizing material assembly is disposed in the first chamber. A water outlet is provided on the partition, and a water hole is provided on the first part. The second chamber communicates with the first chamber through the water outlet, and the first chamber communicates with the water storage chamber through the water hole. In this way, on the one hand, water can enter the second chamber through the water outlet, flow through the mineralizing material assembly located in the first chamber, and be mineralized. The water after initial mineralization can be stored in the water storage chamber for convenient use by the user. The water stored in the water storage chamber can also re-enter the first chamber through the water hole, flow through the mineralizing material assembly located in the first chamber, and be mineralized a second time. Then, it enters the second chamber from the first chamber and flows to the outside through the water outlet for use by the user. On the other hand, the water outlet and water hole can reduce water resistance, allowing unpressurized water to flow smoothly through the mineralizing filter element to achieve mineralization.

[0009] For example, the connecting portion is a slot provided on the second part, and the mating portion is a protrusion extending into the water storage cavity. The second part has an extension portion extending into the second cavity at the edge of the slot. Alternatively, the connecting portion is a protrusion extending outward from the filter cavity, and the mating portion is a slot provided on the side wall of the kettle. The side wall of the kettle has an extension portion extending into the water storage cavity at the edge of the slot. In this way, when installing the mineralizing filter element, the extension portion can position the mineralizing filter element, facilitating its installation.

[0010] For example, the extension has multiple reinforcing ribs protruding from it, at least one of which is U-shaped, and / or at least one of which is straight. This effectively ensures the sealing of the connection between the mineralization filter element and the body of the container.

[0011] For example, a filter element is provided between the mineralizer assembly and the partition; or / and, a filter element is provided at the water inlet; or / and, a filter element is provided at the water passage. In this way, the problem of mineralizer assembly residue remaining in the water taken by the user can be avoided. When the filter element is provided between the mineralizer assembly and the partition, or at the water inlet, the filter element can also provide support for the mineralizer assembly.

[0012] For example, the filter element includes at least one of a non-woven fabric component and a wire mesh. Thus, the wire mesh can perform primary filtration of water and support the mineralizer assembly, while the non-woven fabric component can perform fine filtration of water. When the filter element includes both a non-woven fabric component and a wire mesh, the dual filtration effectively avoids the problem of mineralizer assembly residue remaining in the water taken by the user.

[0013] For example, the water passage hole has a diameter D, which is between 0.8 mm and 1.5 mm. With the diameter D set within this range, water can pass smoothly through the water passage hole, and the problem of mineralized material components leaking into the water storage cavity due to a larger diameter D is avoided.

[0014] For example, a cover is detachably connected to the end of the first part away from the separator. This facilitates the replacement of the mineralizer assembly and filter elements, effectively ensuring the mineralization effect of the mineralizer filter element.

[0015] According to another aspect of this utility model, a water purifier is provided, including a main unit and a kettle as described above. The main unit has a purified water outlet, which is connected to a filter chamber through a water inlet. Since the kettle described above has the aforementioned beneficial effects, the water purifier including the kettle also has the aforementioned beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated further here.

This utility model description 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.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] In the following description, numerous details are provided to enable a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the following description merely illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, which may be practiced without one or more of these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well-known in the art have not been described in detail.

[0029] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.

[0030] This utility model provides a kettle. The kettle of this utility model can be used in water purifiers. The following will describe in detail a kettle according to an embodiment of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 7The kettle 1 may include a kettle body 10 and a mineralizing filter element 20. The kettle body 10 may have a kettle side wall 110 and a kettle bottom wall 120. The kettle side wall 110 and the kettle bottom wall 120 may enclose a water storage cavity 130. The mineralizing filter element 20 may be disposed within the water storage cavity 130. The mineralizing filter element 20 may have a housing 210 and a mineralizing material assembly 220. The housing 210 may enclose a filter cavity 211. It should be understood that the filter cavity 211 is a cavity structure capable of achieving filtration. In order to achieve filtration, the housing 210 may be provided with perforations or other water passage structures. The mineralizing material assembly 220 may be disposed within the filter cavity 211. The housing 210 may have a connecting portion 212. The kettle side wall 110 may have a mating portion 111. The mating portion 111 may be detachably connected to the connecting portion 212. A water passage hole 30 may be provided on the mating part 111 or the connecting part 212, and when the mating part 111 and the connecting part 212 are connected, the water passage hole 30 and the filter chamber 211 may be connected.

[0032] The kettle 1 of this utility model, on the one hand, is based on a mineralizing filter element 20. When the mating part 111 is connected to the connecting part 212, the water passage 30 is connected to the filter chamber 211. Water can flow into or out of the filter chamber 211 through the water passage 30, thereby mineralizing the water through the mineralizing material component 220. On the other hand, the mineralizing filter element 20 is an independent component with a simple structure. Users can choose whether to install it as needed, making it flexible in use. Moreover, since the mating part 111 and the connecting part 212 are detachably connected, the mineralizing filter element 20 can be quickly installed or removed, making the operation convenient.

[0033] It should be understood that after connecting the mating part 111 and the connecting part 212, in order to prevent water from leaking out from the connection between the mating part 111 and the connecting part 212 during the process of water flowing into or out of the filter chamber 211 through the water passage 30, the mating part 111 can be press-fitted with the connecting part 212 to enhance the sealing of the connection and ensure the stability of the connection between the mating part 111 and the connecting part 212, thus avoiding the problem of the mineral material assembly 220 easily falling off the side wall 110 of the pot. Furthermore, sealing elements such as rubber strips (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the mating part 111 or the connecting part 212 to further ensure the stability and sealing of the connection.

[0034] Specifically, a lid 50 can be detachably connected to the end of the side wall 110 of the kettle away from the mineralization filter element 20. This prevents contaminants from falling into the water storage chamber 130 and thus contaminating the water.

[0035] Furthermore, the body 10 of the kettle can be made of polypropylene. In this way, the shell body 213 made of polypropylene has good water permeability, which facilitates water passage, and has strong impact resistance, while also being easy to process and shape.

[0036] In some embodiments, the mineralizing component 220 can be ore particles. Mineralization of water can be achieved simply by contacting the ore particles with water; the operation is simple, requiring no complex equipment or technology, and the ore particles have a long service life, ensuring the mineralization effect for an extended period. Of course, the mineralizing component 220 can also be other structures capable of achieving water mineralization. Specifically, the mineralizing component 220 can be strontium-containing ore particles. Strontium's main function in the human body is closely related to bone formation, being a normal component of human bones and teeth. Strontium can reduce the body's absorption of sodium, thus playing a role in disease prevention. The mineralizing component 220 can also be ore particles containing other mineral elements.

[0037] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figures 2 to 7 The mating part 111 and the connecting part 212 can be constructed as a mating slot and a protrusion. The protrusion can pass through the slot. The water passage hole 30 can be provided on the protrusion. In this way, the mating part 111 and the connecting part 212 can be detachably connected. When installing the mineralizing filter element 20, only the protrusion needs to mate with the slot; when removing the mineralizing filter element 20, only the protrusion needs to be separated from the slot. The operation is convenient and can achieve quick installation or removal of the mineralizing filter element 20. At the same time, the structure is simple and easy to process.

[0038] For example, in conjunction with reference Figures 2 to 7 The mating part 111 can be configured as a protrusion extending into the water storage cavity 130. The connecting part 212 can be configured as a groove.

[0039] Specifically, the mating part 111 can be configured as a protrusion extending into the water storage cavity 130. The second part 2132 can have an extension 410 extending into the second cavity 2112 from the edge of the slot. The connecting part 212 can be a slot provided on the second part 2132. In this way, when installing the mineralizing filter element 20, the extension 410 can position the mineralizing filter element 20, which facilitates the installation of the mineralizing filter element 20 and results in a compact structure.

[0040] For example, the connecting portion 212 may be configured as a protrusion extending outward toward the filter chamber 211. The mating portion 111 may be configured as a slot.

[0041] Specifically, the connecting portion 212 can be configured as a protrusion extending outward from the filter chamber 211. The mating portion 111 can be configured as a slot provided on the side wall 110 of the kettle. The side wall 110 of the kettle can extend into the water storage chamber 130 from the edge of the slot to form an extension portion 410. In this way, when installing the mineralizing filter element 20, the extension portion 410 can position the mineralizing filter element 20, which facilitates the installation of the mineralizing filter element 20.

[0042] In embodiments not shown, the mating part 111 and the connecting part 212 may also be configured as other mating structures. A water passage hole 30 may be provided through the mating part 111 or the connecting part 212. Understandably, in this case, it is only necessary to ensure that water can flow into or out of the filter chamber 211 through the water passage hole 30 on the mating part 111 or the connecting part 212, and that the stability and sealing of the connection are good.

[0043] In some embodiments, multiple reinforcing ribs 420 may protrude from the extension 410. This effectively ensures the sealing of the connection between the mineralization filter element 20 and the pot body 10.

[0044] For example, at least one reinforcing rib 420 may be U-shaped.

[0045] For example, at least one reinforcing rib 420 may be in a straight line.

[0046] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The reinforcing rib 420 may include at least one U-shaped reinforcing rib 420 and at least one straight reinforcing rib 420. This further ensures the sealing of the connection between the mineralization filter element 20 and the kettle body 10. Specifically, it may include three U-shaped reinforcing ribs 420 and one straight reinforcing rib 420. The straight reinforcing rib 420 may be positioned between two U-shaped reinforcing ribs 420. Furthermore, a water inlet 2141 may be formed between the two U-shaped reinforcing ribs 420, thereby increasing the water flow area and reducing water resistance. Understandably, the figure only shows the case where the second part 2132 extends into the second cavity 2112 from the edge of the groove to form an extension 410. In embodiments not shown, the above features also apply to the case where the kettle sidewall 110 extends into the water storage cavity 130 from the edge of the groove to form an extension 410.

[0047] Specifically, the reinforcing rib 420 can be press-fitted with the protrusion, thus effectively ensuring the stability and sealing of the connection. Furthermore, sealing elements such as rubber strips (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the reinforcing rib 420 or the protrusion to further ensure the stability and sealing of the connection. Understandably, when the mineralizing filter element 20 is installed relative to the body 10 of the container, the end of the shell body 213 furthest from the first cavity 2111 needs to abut against the bottom wall 120 of the container.

[0048] See also Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The shell 210 may include a shell body 213 and a partition 214. Since the shell 210 can be provided with perforations or other water-passing structures to achieve filtration, the water-passing structures can be located on the shell body 213. Specifically, the shell body 213 can be divided into a first part 2131 and a second part 2132 by the partition 214. The filtration chamber 211 may include a first chamber 2111 and a second chamber 2112. The partition 214 can be enclosed with the first part 2131 to form the first chamber 2111. The partition 214 can be enclosed with the second part 2132 to form the second chamber 2112. The mineralizer assembly 220 can be disposed within the first chamber 2111. A water outlet 2141 can be provided on the partition 214. A water passage 2131a can be provided on the first part 2131, meaning that the water passage 2131a can form a water-passing structure to achieve filtration. The second chamber 2112 can communicate with the first chamber 2111 through the water outlet 2141. The first chamber 2111 can be connected to the water storage chamber 130 through the water passage 2131a. Thus, on the one hand, water can enter the second chamber 2112 through the water passage 30, flow through the mineralization material component 220 located in the first chamber 2111, and be mineralized. The water after initial mineralization can be stored in the water storage chamber 130 for convenient user access. The water stored in the water storage chamber 130 can also re-enter the first chamber 2111 through the water passage 2131a, flow through the mineralization material component 220 located in the first chamber 2111, and be mineralized a second time. Then, it enters the second chamber 2112 from the first chamber 2111 and flows out through the water passage 30 for user access. On the other hand, the water passage 2131a and the water outlet 2141 reduce water resistance, allowing unpressurized water to flow smoothly through the mineralization filter element 20 for mineralization. Specifically, the separator 214 can be connected to the extension 410. This enhances the structural strength of the partition and extension 410, avoiding the problem of easy damage to the partition 214 or extension 410.

[0049] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 A filter element 230 can be installed between the mineralizer assembly 220 and the separator 214. This avoids the problem of residue from the mineralizer assembly 220 remaining in the water used by the user, and also facilitates the installation of the filter element 230. The filter element 230 can also provide support for the mineralizer assembly 220. In this case, the filter element 230 needs to cover the water outlet 2141.

[0050] In an embodiment not shown, a filter element 230 may be provided at the water outlet 2141. This avoids the problem of residue from the mineralizer assembly 220 remaining in the water taken by the user, and the filter element 230 can also provide support for the mineralizer assembly 220.

[0051] In an embodiment not shown, a filter element 230 may be provided between the mineralizer assembly 220 and the shell sidewall. This avoids the problem of residue from the mineralizer assembly 220 remaining in the water used by the user, and also facilitates the installation of the filter element 230. In this case, the filter element 230 needs to cover the water passage 2131a.

[0052] In an embodiment not shown, a filter element 230 may be provided at the water passage 2131a. This avoids the problem of residue from the mineralizer component 220 remaining in the water taken by the user.

[0053] In an embodiment not shown, the filter element 230 can simultaneously filter water flowing through the inlet 2141 and the water passage 2131a. This effectively avoids the problem of residue from the mineralizer assembly 220 remaining in the water used by the user. In this case, the filter element 230 needs to cover both the inlet 2141 and the water passage 2131a.

[0054] See also Figure 2 and Figure 7 The filter element 230 may include at least one of a non-woven fabric element 231 and a wire mesh 232. Specifically, the wire mesh 232 may be 50 mesh, which can effectively filter water without significantly obstructing water flow. Of course, the wire mesh 232 may also be of other specifications. In this way, the wire mesh 232 can perform primary filtration of water and also provide support for the mineralizer assembly 220, while the non-woven fabric element 231 can perform fine filtration of water. When the filter element 230 includes both the non-woven fabric element 231 and the wire mesh 232, the dual filtration effectively avoids the problem of residue from the mineralizer assembly 220 remaining in the water taken by the user.

[0055] For example, the water passage 2131a can have a diameter D. The diameter D can be from 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm. For example, the diameter D can be 0.8 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, etc. With the diameter D set within this range, water can pass smoothly through the water passage 2131a, and the problem of leakage of the mineralizer component 220 into the water storage chamber 130 due to a larger diameter D is avoided. In one embodiment of this utility model, the diameter D is 1 mm. In this case, it is effectively ensured that water can pass smoothly through the water passage 2131a, and the problem of leakage of the mineralizer component 220 into the water storage chamber 130 due to a larger diameter D is avoided.

[0056] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The first part 2131 can be provided with multiple water passage holes 2131a. The multiple water passage holes 2131a can be evenly distributed. In this way, water resistance can be effectively reduced.

[0057] In one embodiment of this utility model, in conjunction with reference to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The first part 2131 can have four side walls. Each side wall can have 121 water passage holes 2131a. In this case, the first part 2131 can have 484 water passage holes 2131a, which further reduces water resistance.

[0058] Understandably, in different embodiments, the first portion 2131 may have a different number of sidewalls. In different embodiments, the area of ​​the sidewalls may also vary, and the number of water passage holes 2131a that can be formed on the sidewalls may also vary. For example, in an embodiment not shown, the first portion 2131 may have five sidewalls, and when the sidewall area is small, each sidewall may have 80 water passage holes 2131a, in which case the first portion 2131 may have 400 water passage holes 2131a.

[0059] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 The first part 2131, at the end furthest from the separator 214, can be detachably connected to a cover 240. This facilitates the replacement of the mineralizer assembly 220 and the filter element 230, effectively ensuring the mineralization effect of the mineralizer filter element 20. When the cover 240 is closed, it can be secured by a snap-fit ​​or other structure to prevent the cover 240 from being washed open by water flow.

[0060] Specifically, when the filter element 230 and the mineralizing material assembly 220 are installed in the first cavity 2111, after opening the cover 240, the non-woven fabric element 231 can be laid on the separator 214 first, then the wire mesh 232 can be laid on top of the non-woven fabric element 231, then the mineralizing material assembly 220 can be placed on top of the wire mesh 232, and finally the cover 240 can be closed to complete the assembly of the mineralizing filter element 20.

[0061] According to another aspect of this utility model, a water purifier is provided, including a main unit (not shown in the figure) and a kettle 1 as described above. The main unit may have a purified water outlet. The purified water outlet can communicate with the filter chamber 211 through a water inlet 30. Since the kettle 1 described above has the aforementioned beneficial effects, the water purifier including the kettle 1 described above also has the aforementioned beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0062] The following section details the mineralization process of water in a water purifier, in conjunction with relevant references. Figures 1 to 7The main unit removes impurities from the water through the filter element, filtration the raw water into purified water. The purified water flowing from the outlet flows through the water inlet 30 into the second chamber 2112, then through the water outlet 2141 into the first chamber 2111. After initial mineralization by the mineralizing material component 220, the purified water flows through the water outlet 2131a into the storage chamber 130. It should be noted that the water after mineralization by the mineralizing material component 220 is micromineralized water. Users can directly use the micromineralized water in the storage chamber 130. The micromineralized water can also re-enter the first chamber 2111 through the water outlet 2131a, flowing through the mineralizing material component 220 again for secondary mineralization, thus increasing the mineral content of the water. It should be noted that the water after secondary mineralization by the mineralizing material component 220 is mineralized water, and the mineral content in the mineralized water can meet the human body's mineral requirements. Specifically, mineralized water can re-enter the second chamber 2112 from the first chamber 2111 through the water inlet 2141, and then flow to the outside for user consumption through the water outlet 30. Understandably, when the user does not need mineralized water, the water purifier can prepare a trace amount of mineralized water and store it in the water storage chamber 130. This saves time in preparing the trace amount of mineralized water when the user needs it. Specifically, the water purifier can also have a mineralized water outlet. The water outlet 30 can be connected to the mineralized water outlet via a pipe, thus connecting the second chamber 2112 and the mineralized water outlet. The mineralized water outlet can be a faucet, etc. The user can then consume mineralized water at the mineralized water outlet.

[0063] When mineralization of the purified water is not required, the user can remove the mineralization filter cartridge 20. Understandably, the kettle 1 can then be used solely for water storage. Purified water can enter the water storage chamber 130 directly through the water inlet 30. In this way, the purified water prepared by the main unit can be stored in the water storage chamber 130, and when the user needs to use purified water, there is no need to wait for the main unit to prepare purified water; the user can directly use the purified water stored in the water storage chamber 130.

[0064] Specifically, the main unit can be equipped with a booster pump and a diaphragm pump. The booster pump can be positioned between the purified water outlet and the water inlet 30. In this way, the booster pump can pump the purified water output from the main unit through the water inlet 30 and the mineralization filter element 20 into the water storage chamber 130, effectively ensuring that the purified water can flow through the mineralization filter element 20 for initial mineralization. The diaphragm pump can be positioned between the mineralized water outlet and the water inlet 30. In this way, the diaphragm pump can pump the trace amount of mineralized water stored in the water storage chamber 130 through the mineralization filter element 20 and the water inlet 30 to the mineralized water outlet, effectively ensuring that the trace amount of mineralized water can flow through the mineralization filter element 20 for secondary mineralization, and facilitating user access to the mineralized water.
