Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purifiers, specifically a rotatable water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] A water purifier is a device used to filter and purify water, providing safe drinking water. Currently, some water purifiers on the market have adjustable outlet angles. However, most current models rotate the main unit via a rotating base, with the inlet and outlet pipe on the main unit rotating together. This relative rotation of the inlet and outlet pipe allows the main unit's inlet and outlet to rotate with it, while the outlet pipe remains fixed to the base. However, this design has certain problems in practical applications. Because a sealing structure is required between the inlet and outlet pipe, the constant relative rotation can cause wear and tear on this seal, increasing the risk of leakage.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a rotatable water purifier to solve the problem of seal wear and leakage caused by relative rotation between the water inlet and the water inlet pipe. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem mentioned above in the prior art where the sealing mechanism is prone to wear due to relative rotation between the water inlet and the water inlet pipe, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A rotatable water purifier includes a main unit, which has an outlet and an inlet. The main unit also includes a rotating base fixedly connected to the main unit, a fixed base for mounting the rotating base, and an inlet pipe fixedly connected to the inlet. The rotating base and the fixed base are rotatably connected so that the main unit drives the outlet and the inlet pipe to rotate horizontally relative to the fixed base.

[0006] Furthermore, in the rotatable water purifier described in the solution, the rotating base is provided with a first through hole, and the fixed base includes a first fixed base assembly rotatably connected to the rotating base. The first fixed base assembly is provided with a second through hole communicating with the first through hole and a second mounting cavity communicating with the second through hole. The water inlet is located in the second mounting cavity, and the water inlet is connected to the water inlet through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence, so that the main unit drives the water inlet to rotate around the central axis of the second through hole. A rotation gap is provided between the water inlet and the second through hole.

[0007] Furthermore, in the rotatable water purifier described in the solution, the first fixed base assembly is further provided with a limiting groove for the water inlet pipe to extend and rotate, the limiting groove has an elongated cross-section, and the water inlet pipe is further provided with a limiting end that cooperates with the limiting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, in the rotatable water purifier described in the solution, the inlet pipe is L-shaped, and the limiting groove is located on the periphery of the rotating seat.

[0009] Furthermore, in the rotatable water purifier described in the solution, the first through hole is located at the central axis of the rotating base, the second through hole is located at the central axis of the fixed base, and the limiting groove and the limiting end cooperate so that the main unit rotates around the central axis of the fixed base at an angle between 0 and 120°.

[0010] Furthermore, in the rotatable water purifier described in the solution, the rotating base is provided with a first rotating end extending to one side of the first fixed base assembly at the first through hole, and the first fixed base assembly is provided with a second rotating end rotatably cooperating with the first rotating end at the second through hole.

[0011] Furthermore, in the rotatable water purifier described in the solution, the water inlet is provided with a positioning groove at the end extending into the second mounting cavity, and the main unit also includes a positioning member fixed in the positioning groove, the positioning member abutting against the fixed seat so that the first rotating end abuts against the second rotating end.

[0012] Furthermore, in the rotatable water purifier described in the solution, the fixed base further includes a second fixed base assembly detachably connected to the first fixed base assembly, the second fixed base assembly being located on the side away from the rotatable base.

[0013] Furthermore, in the rotatable water purifier described in the solution, the rotating base is further provided with a first mounting cavity for mounting the fixed base and a clearance groove for the water inlet pipe to extend out, and the limiting groove is connected to the clearance groove.

[0014] Furthermore, in the rotatable water purifier described in the solution, the inlet pipe is also provided with a seal and a connecting end that extends into and mates with the inlet. The connecting end is provided with a sealing groove for installing the seal, and the seal abuts against the inner wall of the inlet.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention provides a rotating base fixedly connected to the main unit and a fixed base for mounting the rotating base, and a fixed connection between the water inlet pipe and the water inlet. This allows the main unit to rotate together with the water outlet, water inlet, and water inlet pipe, thus avoiding relative rotation between the water inlet and the water inlet pipe. This effectively solves the problem of wear on the sealing structure caused by long-term relative rotation between the water inlet and the water inlet pipe in the prior art, thereby reducing the risk of leakage.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1: As Figure 1-8 The present invention discloses a rotatable water purifier, including a main unit 1, wherein the main unit 1 is provided with an outlet 11 and an inlet 12, and further includes a rotating base 2 fixedly connected to the main unit 1, a fixed base 3 for mounting the rotating base 2, and an inlet pipe 4 fixedly connected to the inlet 12. The rotating base 2 and the fixed base 3 are rotatably connected so that the main unit 1 drives the outlet 11 and the inlet pipe 4 to rotate horizontally relative to the fixed base 3.

[0028] This utility model sets up a rotating base 2 fixedly connected to the main unit 1 and a fixed base 3 for mounting the rotating base 2, and fixes the water inlet pipe 4 to the water inlet 12. When the main unit 1 rotates, it drives the water outlet 11, the water inlet 12 and the water inlet pipe 4 to rotate together, thereby avoiding the situation where the water inlet 12 and the water inlet pipe 4 rotate relative to each other. This effectively solves the problem of wear of the sealing structure caused by the long-term relative rotation of the water inlet 12 and the water inlet pipe 4 in the prior art, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage.

[0029] In existing water purifier designs, the inlet pipe is fixed to a base and cannot rotate with the main unit. To enable the main unit to rotate while maintaining a proper connection between the main unit and the inlet pipe, current technology typically places the inlet at the bottom of the main unit and inserts one end of the inlet pipe into it. The inlet pipe and inlet are connected by a rotational joint, allowing the inlet pipe to remain fixed to the base while the inlet rotates with the main unit. The other end of the inlet pipe is then connected to an external water pipe. While this design achieves the function of the main unit rotating the outlet relative to the base, it requires a sealing structure between the inlet and inlet pipe to prevent leakage. The constant relative rotation between the inlet and inlet pipe can cause friction and wear on this sealing structure, potentially damaging it and increasing the risk of leakage. The present invention fixes the water inlet pipe 4 to the water inlet 12 of the main unit 1, so that the water inlet pipe 4 can rotate with the rotation of the main unit 1, effectively avoiding the relative rotation between the water inlet 12 and the water inlet 11, preventing the sealing structure between the water inlet 12 and the water inlet 11 from being worn due to long-term relative rotation, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage.

[0030] Example 2: Further, such as Figure 1-8 The illustrated rotatable water purifier has a rotating base 2 with a first through hole 21. The fixed base 3 includes a first fixed base assembly 31 rotatably connected to the rotating base 2. The first fixed base assembly 31 has a second through hole 32 communicating with the first through hole 21 and a second mounting cavity 33 communicating with the second through hole 32. The water inlet pipe 4 is located in the second mounting cavity 33. The water inlet 12 is connected to the water inlet pipe 4 by passing through the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 32 in sequence, so that the main unit 1 drives the water inlet pipe 4 to rotate around the central axis of the second through hole 32. A rotation gap is provided between the water inlet 12 and the second through hole 32.

[0031] This embodiment includes the features of Embodiment 1, the difference being that, in this utility model, a first through hole 21 is provided in the rotating base 2, and a second through hole 32 communicating with the first through hole 21 is provided in the first fixed base assembly 31. The central axis of the first through hole 21 and the central axis of the second through hole 32 coincide, so that the water inlet 12 passes through the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 32 in sequence and connects to the water inlet pipe 4, so that the water inlet 12 acts as a rotating shaft and rotates around the central axis of the second through hole 32, thereby realizing the rotation of the main unit 1 and driving the water inlet pipe 4 to rotate; furthermore, the first fixed base assembly 31 also provides a second mounting cavity 33, and the water inlet pipe 4 is located inside the second mounting cavity 33. This setting provides a protective space for the water inlet pipe 4, preventing the water inlet pipe 4 from being interfered with or damaged by external forces during rotation; furthermore, a rotation gap is provided between the water inlet 12 and the second through hole 32, effectively preventing friction between the main unit 1 and the fixed base 3 when the water inlet 12 rotates, ensuring smoothness during rotation and reliability for long-term use.

[0032] Example 3: Further, such as Figure 1-8 The illustration shows a rotatable water purifier, wherein the first fixed base assembly 31 is further provided with a limiting groove 34 for the water inlet pipe 4 to extend and rotate, the limiting groove 34 is elongated in cross section, and the water inlet pipe 4 is further provided with a limiting end 41 that cooperates with the limiting groove 34.

[0033] This embodiment includes the features of Embodiment 2, the difference being that the present invention provides a limiting groove 34 on the first fixed base assembly 31 for the water inlet pipe 4 to extend and rotate. The limiting groove 34 has a long strip-shaped cross-section, so that when the host 1 drives the water inlet pipe 4 to rotate, the water inlet pipe 4 can move inside the limiting groove 34. The limiting groove 34 restricts the water inlet pipe 4, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the host 1 and preventing structural damage caused by the rotation angle exceeding the predetermined range. Furthermore, the water inlet pipe 4 is provided with a limiting end 41 that cooperates with the limiting groove 34. Through the mutual cooperation between the limiting groove 34 and the limiting end 41, not only can the water inlet pipe 4 only move within the space limited by the limiting groove 34, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the host 1, but the limiting end 41 also strengthens the structural strength of the water inlet pipe 4, avoiding damage caused by long-term contact between the water inlet pipe 4 and the limiting groove 34.

[0034] Example 4: Further, such as Figure 1-8 The illustration shows a rotatable water purifier, wherein the water inlet pipe 4 is L-shaped and the limiting groove 34 is located around the rotating base 2.

[0035] This embodiment includes the features of Embodiment 3, the difference being that the present invention designs the water inlet pipe 4 as an L-shaped structure and sets the limiting groove 34 on the periphery of the rotating seat 2. This setting allows the end of the water inlet pipe 4 used to connect to the external water pipe to extend from the side of the rotating seat 2, which facilitates the user's connection and disassembly of the external water pipe and improves the convenience of installation and maintenance.

[0036] Example 5: Further, such as Figure 1-8 The illustration shows a rotatable water purifier, wherein the first through hole 21 is located at the central axis of the rotating base 2, the second through hole 32 is located at the central axis of the fixed base 3, and the limiting groove 34 and the limiting end 41 cooperate so that the main unit 1 rotates around the central axis of the fixed base 3 at an angle between 0 and 120°.

[0037] This embodiment includes the features of Embodiment 4, the difference being that, by setting the first through hole 21 at the central axis of the rotating seat 2 and the second through hole 32 at the central axis of the fixed seat 3, the main unit 1 can rotate around the central axes of the rotating seat 2 and the fixed seat 3. This arrangement ensures the balance and stability of the main unit 1 during rotation and also enhances the symmetrical aesthetics of the overall structure. Furthermore, the cooperation between the limiting groove 34 and the limiting end 41 enables control of the rotation angle of the main unit 1, allowing the main unit 1 to adjust the position of the water outlet within an angle range of 0 to 120 degrees. This not only meets the user's needs for adjusting the direction of the water outlet in different usage scenarios but also avoids problems such as the external water pipe easily getting tangled due to excessive rotation of the main unit 1, further enhancing the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0038] Example 6: Further, such as Figure 1-8 The rotating water purifier shown has a first rotating end 22 extending to one side of the first fixed seat assembly 31 at the first through hole 21, and a second rotating end 35 rotatably cooperating with the first rotating end 22 at the second through hole 32 of the first fixed seat assembly 31.

[0039] This embodiment includes the features of Embodiment 5, the difference being that the present invention provides a first rotating end 22 extending to one side of the first fixed seat assembly 31 at the first through hole 21 of the rotating seat 2, and a second rotating end 35 rotatably engaging with the first rotating end 22 at the second through hole 32 of the first fixed seat assembly 31, so that one end face of the first rotating end 22 and the second rotating end 35 abut against each other, and the relative rotation between the end faces is realized to achieve the relative rotational movement between the rotating seat 2 and the fixed seat 3; further, in some embodiments, the rotating seat 2 and the fixed seat 3 can be made of plastic material, or can be made of metal material; further, in some other embodiments, the first rotating end 22 or the second rotating end 35 can be a bearing, so that the end face of the first rotating end 22 or the second rotating end 35 can abut against the rotor of the bearing to achieve rotation.

[0040] Example 7: Further, such as Figure 1-8 The present invention relates to a rotatable water purifier, wherein the water inlet 12 is provided with a positioning groove 121 at one end extending into the second mounting cavity 33, and the main unit 1 further includes a positioning member 13 fixed in the positioning groove 121, the positioning member 13 abutting against the fixed base 3, so that the first rotating end 22 abuts against the second rotating end 35.

[0041] This embodiment includes the features of Embodiment Six, the difference being that, in this utility model, a positioning groove 121 is provided at one end of the inlet 12 that extends into the second mounting cavity 33, and the positioning member 13 is fixed in the positioning groove 121. At the same time, the positioning member 13 abuts against the fixed seat 3, thereby achieving the effect that one end of the fixed seat 3 abuts against the first rotating end 22, while the other end abuts against the positioning member 13. This restricts the movement of the fixed seat 3 away from the rotating seat 2, ensuring a firm and stable connection between the fixed seat 3 and the rotating seat 2. This setting effectively prevents accidental separation between the fixed seat 3 and the rotating seat 2.

[0042] Example 8: Further, such as Figure 1-8 The illustration shows a rotatable water purifier, wherein the fixed base 3 further includes a second fixed base assembly 36 detachably connected to the first fixed base assembly 31, the second fixed base assembly 36 being located on the side away from the rotating base 2.

[0043] This embodiment includes the features of Embodiment Seven, the difference being that, by setting a second fixed base assembly 36 on the side of the first fixed base assembly 31 away from the rotating base 2, and using the second fixed base assembly 36 to cover the second mounting cavity 33, the water inlet pipe 4 in the second mounting cavity 33 is protected from external interference or damage; furthermore, the second fixed base assembly 36 is also used to directly contact the placement surface, thereby increasing the contact area with the placement surface, thus improving the overall stability of the water purifier and reducing the risk of tipping over due to external forces; furthermore, the first fixed base assembly 31 and the second fixed base assembly 36 are connected by a detachable structure, thereby facilitating the user or technician to inspect, maintain or replace the water inlet pipe 4 located in the second mounting cavity 33 when needed.

[0044] Example 9: Further, such as Figure 1-8 The rotatable water purifier shown has a rotating base 2 with a first mounting cavity 23 for mounting the fixed base 3 and a relief groove 24 for the water inlet pipe 4 to extend out. The limiting groove 34 is connected to the relief groove 24.

[0045] This embodiment includes the features of embodiment eight, the difference being that the present invention provides a first mounting cavity 23 for mounting the fixed seat 3 on the rotating seat 2. This setting not only provides positioning space for the fixed seat 3, but also effectively protects the connection between the rotating seat 2 and the fixed seat 3 from the influence of external impurities, preventing external impurities from entering the first rotating end 22 and the second rotating end 35.

[0046] Example 10: Further, such as Figure 1-8 The illustrated rotatable water purifier includes an inlet pipe 4 with a seal and a connecting end 42 that extends into and engages with the inlet 12. The connecting end 42 has a sealing groove for installing the seal, and the seal abuts against the inner wall of the inlet 12.

[0047] This embodiment includes the features of embodiment nine, the difference being that the connection end 42 of the water inlet pipe 4 and the water inlet 12 in this utility model is provided with a sealing groove for installing the sealing element, ensuring that the sealing element is correctly installed and remains in the same position, preventing accidental movement that would lead to poor sealing effect; furthermore, in this embodiment, there are three sealing elements, and by setting the sealing element to abut against the inner wall of the water inlet 12, multiple sealing methods are achieved, thereby improving the sealing effect and reducing the risk of water leakage at the connection between the water inlet pipe 4 and the water inlet 12.

[0048] The above examples are merely illustrative of the technical content of this utility model to facilitate reader understanding, but do not imply that the implementation of this utility model is limited to these embodiments. Any technical extensions or re-creations made based on this utility model are protected by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims.
