Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purification equipment technology, specifically to a single-water RO machine with a built-in pressure tank. Background Technology
[0002] An RO (reverse osmosis) water purifier, also known as a reverse osmosis water purifier, is a device that integrates microfiltration, adsorption, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, ultraviolet sterilization, and ultrapurification technologies to directly convert tap water into ultrapure water. The core component of a reverse osmosis water purifier is the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. The purified water produced by a reverse osmosis water purifier is fresher, more hygienic, and safer than bottled water.
[0003] Reverse osmosis is a process that uses pressure higher than osmotic pressure as the driving force and the selective permeability of a membrane that allows only water to pass through while blocking solutes, separating water molecules from the solute phase in a water body. Reverse osmosis water purifiers are machines that primarily use the reverse osmosis principle for water treatment. The filter cartridges in these purifiers are consumable parts and must be replaced after a certain period of time.
[0004] As disclosed in the prior art (application number: CN202321710568.3), a stainless steel reverse osmosis water purifier with easy filter replacement includes a body. A second chamber is formed on the inner surface of the lower end of the body. A dual-axis motor is fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom of the second chamber. Second gears are provided on both sides of the dual-axis motor. Lifting grooves are formed on the inner surfaces of the lower ends of both sides of the body. When the filter body needs to be replaced, the dual-axis motor is activated via an external controller. The dual-axis motor drives the second gear to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear to rotate. The first gear drives the threaded rod to rotate, and the threaded rod drives the lifting plate downwards via a lifting block. The lifting plate then drives the base downwards. However, the prior art lacks a pressure tank structure to ensure stable water pressure during the operation of the reverse osmosis water purifier. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a single-water RO machine with a built-in pressure tank. It features a compact structure, convenient assembly and disassembly, and good operational stability. The composite filter element, RO membrane filter element, and post-carbon filter element work together to ensure efficient filtration and pure water supply.

[0014] Preferably, a high-pressure switch with a check valve is provided between the RO membrane filter element and the post-carbon filter element, and is connected to the pipeline of the RO membrane filter element and the post-carbon filter element.

A wastewater solenoid valve 16 is installed between the lower part of the RO membrane filter element 3 and the wastewater connector 11. A composite filter element 5, which is a composite filtration structure composed of polypropylene and carbon rods, is installed between the RO membrane filter element 3 and the inlet connector 8. The lower end of the composite filter element 5 is equipped with an inlet solenoid valve 14 that connects to the RO membrane filter element 3 and the composite filter element 5 via pipeline. A booster pump 19, connected to the RO membrane filter element 3 and the inlet solenoid valve 14 via pipeline, is located between the control panel 1 and the RO membrane filter element 3. The booster pump 19 is located above the wastewater solenoid valve 16 and is fixed to the frame 6 with screws. A post-carbon filter element 18, connected to the outlet connector 10 and the RO membrane filter element 3 via pipeline, is located on the side of the RO membrane filter element 3. A high-pressure switch with a check valve 15, connected to the RO membrane filter element 3 and the post-carbon filter element 18 via pipeline, is located between the RO membrane filter element 3 and the post-carbon filter element 18. A pressure tank 4 is provided between the RO membrane filter element 3 and the composite filter element 5, which is connected to the upper end of the post-carbon filter element 18 via a pipeline. The RO membrane filter element 3, pressure tank 4, composite filter element 5, and post-carbon filter element 18 are all installed with a detachable structure to the machine frame 6. The RO membrane filter element 3 and composite filter element 5 are inserted into the machine frame 6. A buckle bracket 20 is provided between the side of the post-carbon filter element 18 and the machine frame 6, which is snapped into the machine frame 6. The buckle bracket 20 is fixed to the machine frame 6 with screws. The pressure tank 4 is inserted into the machine frame 6 with screws. A three-way pipe connector 12 is provided between the booster pump 19 and the RO membrane filter element 3, and between the post-carbon filter element 18 and the outlet connector 10. A raw water TDS detection sensor 17 is provided between the booster pump 19 and the RO membrane filter element 3, and is threadedly connected to the three-way pipe connector 12.

[0031] Working principle: When the inlet solenoid valve 14 is opened, tap water enters through the inlet connector 8. The water flows through the composite filter element 5 for preliminary filtration, removing impurities such as sediment, rust, and residual chlorine. Next, the booster pump 19 provides pressure to the water flow, forcing it through the RO membrane filter element 3. The RO membrane filter element 3 then removes dissolved solids, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and other contaminants from the water under high pressure, retaining only water molecules and dissolved oxygen. The filtered purified water then enters the pressure tank 4 for storage and subsequent use.
[0032] When the wastewater solenoid valve 16 is opened, the wastewater at the bottom of the RO membrane filter element 3 is discharged from the wastewater connector 11.
[0033] When using water, turn on the tap. The air bladder inside the pressure tank 4 is compressed, releasing the stored purified water. The purified water passes through the post-carbon filter 18 to further improve its taste before flowing out from the water outlet 10. When the water level in the pressure tank 4 drops, the equipment will automatically start the water purification process to replenish the purified water.
[0034] In summary, this single-water RO machine with a built-in pressure tank features a compact structure, convenient assembly and disassembly, and good operational stability. The composite filter element, RO membrane filter element, and post-carbon filter element work together to ensure efficient filtration and pure water supply. With its advanced design and efficient filtration system, it can meet users' high demands for high-quality pure water, while also possessing advantages such as intelligence, water conservation, and environmental friendliness, making it a highly practical water treatment device.
