[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filtration device technology, and more specifically to a high-efficiency filtration device for commercial direct drinking water machines. Background Technology
[0002] A direct drinking water machine is a device that purifies municipal tap water into drinking water, or simultaneously heats, cools, and dispenses the purified water using electricity. It is a water purifier that filters and purifies municipal raw water (using physical methods) to produce drinking water for direct consumption. Also known as a point-of-use water purifier, direct drinking water machines can be categorized based on their usage and design: countertop, floor-standing, wall-mounted, built-in, commercial, and automatic water vending machines. Commercial direct drinking water machines are large-scale water purification devices specifically designed for public places.
[0003] Existing water purifiers have a heating function, which allows people to get hot water at any time by using the built-in heating device. However, sometimes when people urgently need to drink water, the hot water is too hot, and it is not convenient to control the temperature by adding cold water, so they cannot drink warm water directly. Secondly, tap water contains many different impurities, which requires multiple filtrations to completely purify the water quality. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, a hot water connection pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the water outlet of the inner tank, a warm water connection pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the hot water connection pipe, and a heat exchanger is movably connected to the outside of the warm water connection pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the heater has a structure with an internal food-grade stainless steel pressureless inner liner and uses inner liner heating. The top of the heater is equipped with a top temperature probe, and the bottom of the heater is equipped with a bottom temperature probe.
[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model has a filtration mechanism.

Finally, it enters the tertiary filter 204 and is filtered by the filter element to remove bacteria, viruses, etc. This multi-stage fine filtration improves the filtration effect.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the primary filter 202 uses a PP cotton filter element, the secondary filter 203 uses a granular activated carbon filter element, and the tertiary filter 204 uses a reverse osmosis membrane filter element or an ultrafiltration membrane filter element.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model:
[0029] Tap water enters the primary filter 202 through the inlet pipe 201, where it is filtered by a PP cotton filter element to remove large particles such as sediment and rust. It then enters the secondary filter 203, where an activated carbon filter element removes discoloration, odors, residual chlorine, and some organic matter. Finally, it enters the tertiary filter 204, where a filter element removes bacteria and viruses. This multi-stage filtration process enhances the filtration effect. The filtered water then enters the inner tank of the heater 301 through the outlet pipe 205, heat exchanger 206, and inner tank inlet 303 for heating. The heated water then exits through the inner tank outlet 302 and hot water connection pipe 305 from the hot water outlet 106. When the warm water outlet 105 is activated, the hot water from the warm water connection pipe 306 is cooled by the heat exchanger 206 and released as warm water. Simultaneously, the filtered water absorbs heat in the heat exchanger 206, increasing its temperature and entering the heater 301 as warm water. This process facilitates heat exchange and energy saving, allowing for the immediate release of both warm and hot water for drinking, thus improving efficiency.
[0030] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
