Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet equipment technology, and in particular to a mixing container. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of society, people are paying more and more attention to the quality of water. Generally, faucets are connected to filter devices, which filter water through filter cartridges. Filter cartridges are consumables and need to be replaced regularly. Usually, when replacing filter cartridges, the water inlet valve on the water source needs to be closed. Otherwise, water in the pipeline will flow out from the connection between the faucet and the filter device, causing water leakage and making it inconvenient to replace filter cartridges and filter canisters. Therefore, a filter cartridge device that can prevent water leakage when replacing filter cartridges has appeared on the market.

[0003] For example, patent CN211562051 U discloses a filter cartridge device. When replacing the filter cartridge or filter canister, the connecting end is detached from the connecting seat, and its protrusion moves away from the inlet control valve. The inlet control valve closes the first inlet of the connecting seat, thereby shutting off the water circuit. The water pressure acting on the outlet control valve decreases, and the outlet control valve automatically resets and closes the outlet of the connecting seat. Thus, the entire water circuit is shut off through the inlet control valve and the outlet control valve. When replacing the filter cartridge or filter canister, no water will flow out, overcoming the leakage problem and making it convenient to replace the filter cartridge or filter canister.

[0004] The problem with the above technology is that when replacing the filter element or filter canister, the connecting end needs to be removed from the connecting seat first. The connecting end is used to open the water inlet control valve so that the first water inlet of the connecting seat is connected to the filter element. However, there is usually water remaining inside the filter element. During the replacement process, water can easily flow out from the connecting end, causing the filter element to leak.

[0005] To address these technical problems, a hybrid container is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mixing container that can prevent water leakage when replacing the filter element.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the problem is as follows: a mixing container, including a main body, on which an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are provided, and a downward-opening through groove is also provided on the main body. The inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are respectively provided with an inlet hole and an outlet hole. A first water blocker and a second water blocker for sealing the inlet hole and the outlet hole are elastically connected inside the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, respectively. A tank body is dynamically sealed inside the through groove. The tank body is provided with a first inlet and an outlet communicating with its interior. The first inlet is connected to the inlet hole, and the outlet is connected to the outlet hole. A first closure and a second closure for sealing the first inlet and the outlet are elastically connected inside the tank body. The first closure abuts against and opens with the first water blocker, and the second closure abuts against and opens with the second water blocker.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the tank body includes an outer tank and an inner tank disposed inside the outer tank. The first water inlet is disposed on the outer tank, and a first receiving cavity communicating with the first water inlet is formed between the outer tank and the inner tank. The water outlet is disposed on the inner tank, and a second receiving cavity communicating with the water outlet is disposed inside the inner tank. A through hole communicating with the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity is disposed on the side wall of the inner tank. A platform located below the water outlet is disposed inside the inner tank, and a spring is disposed between the second closure and the platform. A first protrusion located below the first water inlet extends upward from the outer end of the inner tank, and a spring is disposed between the first closure and the first protrusion.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the water inlet pipe is provided with a first groove above the water inlet hole, and a spring is provided between the first water blocker and the first groove; the water outlet pipe is provided with a second groove above the water outlet hole, and a spring is provided between the second water blocker and the second groove; the lower parts of the first water blocker and the second water blocker respectively extend downward with a first push rod and a second push rod, the first push rod abutting against the top of the first closure, and the second push rod abutting against the top of the second closure.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the outer tank is provided with a second water inlet, which is connected to the water inlet hole and the first receiving cavity. The outer end of the inner tank extends upward with a second protrusion located below the second water inlet. A third closure device for sealing the second water inlet is provided at the second water inlet. A spring is provided between the third closure device and the second protrusion. The inner end of the through groove extends downward with a protrusion, which abuts against the top of the third closure device and opens it.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lower part of the main body is sealed with a bottom cover, and the bottom of the outer tank abuts against the bottom cover.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a buckle is provided on the outer side wall of the lower part of the main body, and a fastening position is provided on the inner side wall of the bottom cover, and the buckle and the fastening position are engaged.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a limiting hole is provided on the outer side wall of the lower part of the main body. The limiting hole is located above the buckle. A pin is movably inserted into the outer side wall of the bottom cover, and the end of the pin is inserted into the limiting hole.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When replacing the tank, the tank is removed from the through groove, causing the first closure device to disengage from the first water blocker. The first closure device can reset and block the first water inlet, and the first water blocker can reset and block the water inlet hole. The second closure device and the second water blocker disengage from each other, and the second closure device can reset and block the water outlet. The second water blocker can reset and block the water outlet hole. At this time, both the main body and the tank are in a closed state, and water cannot flow out from the main body or the tank. This can effectively prevent water leakage during the replacement of the tank. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 8A mixing container includes a main body 1, on which an inlet pipe 11 and an outlet pipe 12 are provided. The main body 1 also has a downward-opening through groove 13. The inlet pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 12 are respectively provided with an inlet hole 14 and an outlet hole 15. A first water blocker 21 and a second water blocker 22 for sealing the inlet hole 14 and the outlet hole 15 are elastically connected in the inlet pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 12, respectively. A tank body 3 is dynamically sealed in the through groove 13. The tank body 3 is provided with a first inlet 31 and an outlet 32 ​​communicating with its interior. The first inlet 31 is connected to the inlet hole 14, and the outlet 32 ​​is connected to the outlet hole 15. A first closure device 23 and a second closure device 24 for sealing the first inlet 31 and the outlet 32 ​​are elastically connected in the tank body 3. The first closure device 23 abuts against the first water blocker 21 and opens with each other. The second closure device 24 abuts against the second water blocker 22 and opens with each other.

[0030] When replacing the tank 3, the tank 3 is removed from the through groove 13, so that the first closure 23 is disengaged from the first water blocker 21. The first closure 23 can reset and block the first water inlet 31, and the first water blocker 21 can reset and block the water inlet 14. The second closure 24 is disengaged from the second water blocker 22, and the second closure 24 can reset and block the water outlet 32. The second water blocker 22 can reset and block the water outlet 15. At this time, the main body 1 and the tank 3 are both in a closed state, and the water cannot flow out from the main body 1, nor can the water flow out from the tank 3. This can effectively prevent water leakage during the replacement of the tank 3.

[0031] The tank 3 can be equipped with a filter element or anhydrous citric acid. The filter element can filter the water flow to improve the water quality, or the water flow can be mixed with anhydrous citric acid to form an acidic solution in a certain proportion, which can be used to remove scale from the pipes.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the tank body 3 includes an outer tank 33 and an inner tank 34 disposed inside the outer tank 33. A first inlet 31 is disposed on the outer tank 33. A first receiving cavity 35 communicating with the first inlet 31 is formed between the outer tank 33 and the inner tank 34. An outlet 32 ​​is disposed on the inner tank 34. A second receiving cavity 36 communicating with the outlet 32 ​​is disposed inside the inner tank 34. A through hole 341 communicating with the first receiving cavity 35 and the second receiving cavity 36 is disposed on the side wall of the inner tank 34. A platform 37 located below the outlet 32 ​​is disposed inside the inner tank 34. A spring is disposed between the second closure 24 and the platform 37. A first protrusion 342 located below the first inlet 31 extends upward from the outer end of the inner tank 34. A spring is disposed between the first closure 23 and the first protrusion 342.

[0033] The filter element or anhydrous citric acid is placed in the second receiving cavity 36, and a sealing ring is fitted on the outer side wall of the outer can 33, forming a seal between the outer can 33 and the through groove 13.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the water inlet pipe 11 is provided with a first groove 16 located above the water inlet hole 14, and a spring is provided between the first water blocker 21 and the first groove 16. The water outlet pipe 12 is provided with a second groove 17 located above the water outlet hole 15, and a spring is provided between the second water blocker 22 and the second groove 17. The lower parts of the first water blocker 21 and the second water blocker 22 respectively extend downward with a first push rod 211 and a second push rod 221. The first push rod 211 abuts against the top of the first closure 23, and the second push rod 221 abuts against the top of the second closure 24.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, in order to increase the water flow rate into the outer tank 33, the outer tank 33 is provided with a second water inlet 38, which is connected to the water inlet hole 14 and the first receiving cavity 35. The outer end of the inner tank 34 extends upward with a second protrusion 343 located below the second water inlet 38. A third closure device 25 for sealing the second water inlet 38 is provided at the second water inlet 38. A spring is provided between the third closure device 25 and the second protrusion 343. The inner end of the through groove 13 extends downward with a protrusion 131, which abuts against the top of the third closure device 25 and opens it.

[0036] The first water blocker 21, the second water blocker 22, the first closure 23, the second closure 24 and the third closure 25 mentioned above all use sealing plugs.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, a bottom cover 4 is provided on the lower part of the main body 1, the bottom of the outer can 33 abuts against the bottom cover 4, and a sealing ring is provided on the outer side wall of the lower part of the main body 1, forming a seal between the bottom cover 4 and the main body 1.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a buckle 18 is provided on the outer side wall of the lower part of the main body 1, and a buckle position 41 is provided on the inner side wall of the bottom cover 4, and the buckle 18 and the buckle position 41 are engaged.

[0039] By rotating the bottom cover 4, the buckle 41 and the latch 18 can be switched between a self-locking state and an unlocked state.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting hole 19 is provided on the outer side wall of the lower part of the main body 1. The limiting hole 19 is located above the buckle 18. A pin 42 is movably inserted into the outer side wall of the bottom cover 4. The end of the pin 42 is inserted into the limiting hole 19.

[0041] By inserting the pin 42 into the limiting hole 19, the rotation of the bottom cover 4 can be restricted, preventing the bottom cover 4 from falling off the main body 1.

[0042] Under water flow conditions, as referenced Figure 3The first push rod 211 abuts against the top of the first closure 23. The first water blocker 21 moves upward to compress the spring and open the water inlet 14. The first closure 23 moves downward to compress the spring and open the first water inlet 31, so that the water inlet 14 is connected to the first water inlet 31. The protrusion 131 abuts against the top of the third closure 25. The third closure 25 moves downward to compress the spring and open the second water inlet 38, so that the water inlet 14 is connected to the second water inlet 38. The second push rod 221 abuts against the top of the second closure 24. The second water blocker 22 moves upward to compress the spring and open the water outlet 15. The second closure 24 moves downward to compress the spring and open the water outlet 32, so that the water outlet 15 is connected to the water outlet 32.

[0043] Water enters from the inlet pipe 11 and flows through the inlet hole 14 and the first inlet 31 or the inlet hole 14 and the second inlet 38. Then the water flows into the first receiving cavity 35 and through the through hole 341 into the second receiving cavity 36. Through the filter element or anhydrous citric acid in the second receiving cavity 36, the water quality can be purified or the pipe can be cleaned. Finally, the water flows through the outlet 32 ​​and the outlet hole 15 and is discharged from the outlet pipe 12.

[0044] When replacing tank 3, refer to Figure 4 By rotating the bottom cover 4, the buckle 41 and the latch 18 can be rotated to the unlocked state. The bottom cover 4 and the tank 3 can be moved downwards, causing the first push rod 211 to disengage from the top of the first closure 23, the protrusion 131 to disengage from the top of the third closure 25, and the second push rod 221 to disengage from the top of the second closure 24. The first water blocker 21 can move downwards and block the water inlet 14 due to the spring force, the second water blocker 22 can move downwards and block the water outlet 15 due to the spring force, the first closure 23 can move upwards and block the first water inlet 31 due to the spring force, the second closure 24 can move upwards and block the water outlet 32 ​​due to the spring force, and the third closure 25 can move upwards and block the second water inlet 32 ​​due to the spring force. At this time, the main body 1 and the tank 3 are in a closed state, and the water inside the main body 1 cannot flow out, nor can the water inside the tank 3 flow out, which can prevent water leakage during the replacement of the tank 3.

[0045] When installing tank 3, refer to Figure 5First, install the tank body 3 into the through groove 13, and then place the bottom cover 4 on the bottom of the tank body 3. By rotating the bottom cover 4, the buckle 41 and the latch 18 are rotated to the locked state. During the rotation of the bottom cover 4, the bottom cover 4 can gradually drive the tank body 3 to move upward, so that the top of the first closing device 23 abuts against the first push rod 211, and the top of the second closing device 24 abuts against the second push rod 221. Since the pressure in the water inlet pipe 11 and the water outlet pipe 12 is greater than the elastic force of the springs on the first closing device 23 and the second closing device 24, the first closing device 23 moves downward to squeeze the spring and open the first water inlet 31, and the second closing device 24 moves downward to squeeze the spring and open the water outlet. When the first closure 23 and the second closure 24 move downwards to the bottom, the tank body 3 continues to move upwards. Their interaction force can push the first water blocker 21 to move upwards to squeeze the spring and open the water inlet 14. The second water blocker 22 moves upwards to squeeze the spring and open the water outlet 15. At the same time, the protrusion 131 can abut against the top of the third closure 25. The third closure 25 moves downwards to squeeze the spring and open the second water inlet 38, so that the water inlet 14 is connected to the first water inlet 31, the water inlet 14 is connected to the second water inlet 38, and the water outlet 15 is connected to the water outlet 32. The water flow can flow as described above in the water flow state.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
