Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purifier cleaning technology, specifically to an Internet of Things (IoT) water purifier that is easy to clean internally. Background Technology
[0002] A water purifier, also known as a water filter or water purifier, is a water treatment device that performs deep filtration and purification of water according to the requirements of water use. Water purifiers generally refer to small purifiers used in homes. The core technology of a water purifier is the filter membrane in the filter cartridge device. The main technologies come from three types: ultrafiltration membrane, RO reverse osmosis membrane, and nanofiltration membrane. Internet of Things (IoT) water purifiers combine the water purifier itself with a computer, making the water purifier more intelligent in use. After the filter cartridge has been used for a long time, it is necessary to replace or clean the internal filter cartridge.
[0003] However, due to prolonged use of water purifiers, impurities and scale that accumulate on the inner wall of the water tank can easily accumulate. Manual cleaning is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and of poor quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an IoT water purifier that is easy to clean internally, which has the advantage of making it easy to clean the water purifier's storage tank and avoids the problem of the storage tank being difficult to clean.
[0005] To facilitate the cleaning of the water purifier's storage tank, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An IoT-enabled water purifier that is easy to clean internally includes a water tank, a filter assembly installed on the inner wall of the water tank for preliminary filtration of drinking water, and a purification assembly installed on the side wall of the water tank for purifying the filtered water. It also includes:
[0007] The filtration assembly includes a first filter plate and a second filter plate, both of which are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank. A rotating column is rotatably connected to the side wall of the water tank, and the rotating column passes through the first and second filter plates. A fan blade is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating column, and an inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank above the fan blade. Multiple sets of scrapers are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating column, and the scrapers are in contact with the inner wall of the water tank. A backflow pipe is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water tank.
[0008] According to some embodiments, the inner wall of the water tank is provided with a first water cavity, a second water cavity and a third water cavity respectively. The first water cavity is located to the left of the first filter plate, the second water cavity is located between the first filter plate and the second filter plate, and the third water cavity is located to the right of the second filter plate. Multiple sets of sewage pipes are fixedly connected to the side wall of the water tank, and the sewage pipes correspond one-to-one with the first water cavity, the second water cavity and the third water cavity.
[0009] According to some embodiments, the purification component includes a water pump, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of a water tank. A connecting box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank. Multiple filter cartridges are snapped into the bottom of the connecting box, and a connecting pipe is fixedly connected between the connecting box and the water pump.
[0010] According to some embodiments, two sets of rotating plates are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating column, and the two sets of rotating plates are respectively attached to the surfaces of the first filter plate and the second filter plate. Control devices are installed on the side walls of the sewage pipe and the backflow pipe. Beneficial effects
[0011] This utility model provides an IoT water purifier that is easy to clean internally, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] (1) When water is flowing through the inlet pipe of this IoT water purifier that is easy to clean internally, the water will hit the side wall of the fan blade, causing the fan blade to drive the rotating column to rotate. The rotating column will drive the scraper to rotate on the inner wall of the water tank, thereby preventing impurities from adhering to the inner wall of the water tank and keeping the impurities in the water tank. Water is injected into the inner cavity of the water tank through the backflow pipe, and the water will flow in the reverse direction in the inner cavity of the water tank, which can flush out the impurities adsorbed by the inner cavities of the first filter plate and the second filter plate, and combine with the impurities remaining in the inner cavity of the water tank, and discharge them through the drain pipe, thereby cleaning the inner cavity of the water tank.
[0013] (2) The IoT water purifier that is easy to clean internally uses a rotating column to drive the rotating plate to rotate. Since the rotating plate is in contact with the surfaces of the first filter plate and the second filter plate, the rotating plate can remove the impurities filtered on the surfaces of the first filter plate and the second filter plate, thus avoiding blockage and affecting the filtration effect.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Reference Figures 1-4 An IoT-enabled water purifier that is easy to clean internally includes a water tank 1, a filter assembly 2 installed on the inner wall of the water tank 1 for preliminary filtration of drinking water, and a purification assembly 3 installed on the side wall of the water tank 1 for purifying the filtered water. It also includes:
[0021] The filter assembly 2 includes a first filter plate 201 and a second filter plate 202. Both the first filter plate 201 and the second filter plate 202 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank 1. A rotating column 203 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the water tank 1, and the rotating column 203 passes through the first filter plate 201 and the second filter plate 202. A fan blade 204 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating column 203. An inlet pipe 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 1 above the fan blade 204. Multiple sets of scrapers 206 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating column 203, and the scrapers 206 are in contact with the inner wall of the water tank 1. A backflow pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water tank 1.
[0022] The inner wall of the water tank 1 is provided with a first water cavity 208, a second water cavity 209 and a third water cavity 210 respectively. The first water cavity 208 is located to the left of the first filter plate 201, the second water cavity 209 is located between the first filter plate 201 and the second filter plate 202, and the third water cavity 210 is located to the right of the second filter plate 202.
[0023] Multiple sets of drain pipes 211 are fixedly connected to the side wall of water tank 1, and the drain pipes 211 correspond one-to-one with the first water chamber 208, the second water chamber 209 and the third water chamber 210;
[0024] It should be noted that: water is introduced into the inner cavity of water tank 1 through inlet pipe 205, and then the water is initially filtered by first filter plate 201 and second filter plate 202. Subsequently, the water is purified by purification component 3. When water flows through inlet pipe 205, the water will hit the side wall of fan blade 204, causing fan blade 204 to drive rotating column 203 to rotate. When rotating column 203 rotates, it can drive scraper 206 to rotate on the inner wall of water tank 1, thereby preventing impurities from adhering to the inner wall of water tank 1. The impurities are respectively collected in the inner cavities of first water cavity 208, second water cavity 209 and third water cavity 210. Water can be injected into the inner cavity of water tank 1 through backflow pipe 207. The water will flow in reverse in the inner cavity of water tank 1, which can flush out the impurities adsorbed in the inner cavities of first filter plate 201 and second filter plate 202. The impurities are then discharged through drain pipe 211, thereby cleaning the inner cavity of water tank 1.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 The purification component 3 includes a water pump 301, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the water tank 1, and a connection box 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 1.
[0026] Multiple filter elements 303 are snapped into the bottom of the connecting box 302, and a connecting pipe 304 is fixedly connected between the connecting box 302 and the water pump 301.
[0027] It should be noted that: the water pump 301 draws out the water that has been preliminarily filtered in the inner cavity of the water tank 1, and flows through the connecting pipe 304 to the inner cavity of the connecting box 302. The water is then purified by multiple sets of filter elements 303, and the water quality can be ensured by replacing the filter elements 303.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 Two sets of rotating plates 4 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating column 203, and the two sets of rotating plates 4 are respectively attached to the surface of the first filter plate 201 and the second filter plate 202.
[0029] Control devices are installed on the side walls of both the sewage pipe 211 and the backflow pipe 207;
[0030] It should be noted that when the rotating column 203 rotates, it can drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate. Since the rotating plate 4 is in contact with the surfaces of the first filter plate 201 and the second filter plate 202, the rotating plate 4 can remove the impurities filtered on the surfaces of the first filter plate 201 and the second filter plate 202, thus preventing them from becoming blocked and affecting the filtration effect.
[0031] Operating method: Water is introduced into the inner cavity of water tank 1 through inlet pipe 205, and then the water is initially filtered by first filter plate 201 and second filter plate 202. Water pump 301 is used to extract the water initially filtered from the inner cavity of water tank 1 and flows into the inner cavity of connecting box 302 through connecting pipe 304. The water is purified by multiple sets of filter elements 303, and the water quality can be ensured by replacing filter elements 303.
[0032] When water flows through the inlet pipe 205, the water impacts the side wall of the fan blade 204, causing the fan blade 204 to drive the rotating column 203 to rotate. When the rotating column 203 rotates, it can drive the scraper 206 and the rotating plate 4 to rotate on the inner wall of the water tank 1, thereby preventing impurities from adhering to the inner wall of the water tank 1. The rotating plate 4 can remove the impurities filtered on the surface of the first filter plate 201 and the second filter plate 202, preventing them from becoming blocked and affecting the filtration effect. The impurities are respectively collected in the inner cavities of the first water cavity 208, the second water cavity 209 and the third water cavity 210. Water can be injected into the inner cavity of the water tank 1 through the backflow pipe 207. The water will flow in the reverse direction in the inner cavity of the water tank 1, which can flush out the impurities adsorbed in the inner cavities of the first filter plate 201 and the second filter plate 202, and then discharge them through the drain pipe 211, thereby cleaning the inner cavity of the water tank 1.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
