Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purification technology for water dispensers, specifically to an RO water purification tank structure applied to water dispensers. Background Technology

[0002] Bottled water dispensers are a common product in daily life, generally used in offices and homes. However, traditional bottled water dispensers have several core problems, including high frequency of water changes (30-50 times per year for households / businesses), risk of secondary contamination of the water tank (industry reports show excessive microbial growth rates), and complex installation of RO water purifiers (requiring modification of water pipes and occupying space). In addition, there are frequent instances of untimely bottled water delivery leading to water shortages, making water changes very difficult and troublesome for people with mobility issues.

[0003] Therefore, in order to correct the above-mentioned defects, we propose an RO water purification tank structure for use in water dispensers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to propose an RO water purifier tank structure for use in water dispensers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an RO water purifier tank structure for use in a water dispenser, comprising a water tank, a connecting base, and an outer cover. The outer cover is mounted on the water tank via the connecting base. A wastewater interface and a water inlet interface are installed on the outer wall of the connecting base. An RO reverse osmosis processor is installed at the upper end of the connecting base. The other end of the water inlet interface is connected to the RO reverse osmosis processor. The drain outlet of the RO reverse osmosis processor is connected to one end of the wastewater interface. The purified water outlet of the RO reverse osmosis processor is interconnected with the water tank. A drain connector is connected to the bottom of the water tank.

[0006] Furthermore, an LED germicidal lamp is also installed on the connecting base.

[0007] Furthermore, a display window is provided on the outer wall of the connecting base, and a mechanical float is provided at the bottom of the connecting base. The floating status of the mechanical float can be observed through the display window. The water tank is made of transparent material, so the water level and the floating status of the mechanical float can be observed in real time. The display window is the LED indicator display window of the electronic control board, which can be used to observe the machine's operating status, TDS value display, filter life, etc. in real time.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the outer cover is provided with a hook position, and the upper end of the connecting base is provided with a hook position hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting base is provided with a fastener, and the top of the water tank is provided with a fastener hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a water level probe is also provided at the bottom of the connecting base.

[0011] Furthermore, the RO reverse osmosis processor includes a filter element support, a booster pump installed inside the filter element support, an inlet solenoid valve connected to the booster pump, the inlet solenoid valve connected to the inlet interface, a power adapter, a high-pressure switch, and a wastewater solenoid valve installed on the filter element support, the wastewater solenoid valve connected to the wastewater interface, and a PP cotton filter element, an activated carbon filter element, a reverse osmosis RO membrane filter element, and a post-carbon filter element installed outside the filter element support. The water flow pattern is → PP cotton filter element → activated carbon filter element → reverse osmosis RO membrane filter element → post-carbon filter element →.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This device, used in conjunction with a water dispenser, solves the pain points of traditional drinking water scenarios. Addressing the core issues of traditional bottled water dispensers, such as high water change frequency (30-50 times per year for households / businesses), secondary contamination risk in the storage tank (industry reports show excessive microbial growth rates), and complex installation of RO water purifiers (requiring pipe modifications and space occupation), this device uses an RO reverse osmosis water purification system to continuously produce water without frequent replacements, saving manpower. The water tank has a built-in LED ultraviolet sterilization lamp for long-lasting sterilization, inhibiting bacterial growth and ensuring drinking water safety. A water level probe and mechanical float provide double protection, reducing the risk of leakage. Municipal tap water and well water can be directly consumed after machine treatment, resulting in low costs. It also allows for portable filter replacement and tank cleaning.

[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] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0021] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an RO water purifier tank structure for use in a water dispenser includes a water tank 1, a connecting base 2, and an outer cover 3. A drain connector 12 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 1, allowing the water tank 1 to be directly mounted on the water dispenser and connected to the water inlet via the drain connector 12. The outer cover 3 is mounted on the water tank 1 via the connecting base 2. A wastewater inlet 15 and a water inlet 16 are installed on the outer wall of the connecting base 2. An RO reverse osmosis processor 4 is installed at the upper end of the connecting base 2. The other end of the water inlet 16 is connected to the RO reverse osmosis processor 4. The drain outlet of the RO reverse osmosis processor 4 is connected to one end of the wastewater inlet 15, and the purified water outlet of the RO reverse osmosis processor 4 is connected to... Water tank 1 is interconnected. The RO reverse osmosis processor 4 used here is an existing technology structure, which mainly includes a filter element support. A booster pump is installed inside the filter element support. The booster pump is connected to an inlet solenoid valve, which is connected to the inlet interface 16. A power adapter, a high-pressure switch, and a wastewater solenoid valve are installed on the filter element support. The wastewater solenoid valve is connected to the wastewater interface 15. PP cotton filter element, activated carbon filter element, reverse osmosis RO membrane filter element, and post-carbon filter element are installed outside the filter element support. The water flow is → PP cotton filter element → activated carbon filter element → reverse osmosis RO membrane filter element → post-carbon filter element →. The structure and principle of the RO reverse osmosis processor 4 will not be described in detail in this case.

[0022] Tap water enters the RO reverse osmosis processor 4 through the inlet 16. The RO reverse osmosis processor 4 purifies the tap water. The wastewater produced by the RO reverse osmosis processor 4 is discharged through the wastewater inlet 15. The purified water enters the water tank 1 and then enters the water dispenser. The front-end treatment process is the same as that of a conventional RO reverse osmosis water purifier. Pure water flows into the lower water tank through the center hole of the mechanical float. The water tank enters the water dispenser through the drain connector. According to the electronic control program, when the water level reaches the water level probe, the machine stops when it is full. If the water level probe fails, the machine continues to produce water. When the water level rises to the point where the mechanical float is lifted and the center hole of the mechanical float is completely closed, the machine stops producing water, and the high-pressure switch is disconnected, achieving the effect of overflow protection.

[0023] An LED sterilization lamp 14 is also installed on the connecting base 2 to prevent bacteria from growing in the water tank 1.

[0024] The outer wall of the connecting base 2 is provided with a display window 13, and the bottom of the connecting base 2 is provided with a mechanical float 11. The water tank 1 is made of transparent material, so the water level and the floating status of the mechanical float can be observed in real time. The display window 13 is the display window of the LED indicator of the electronic control board, which can be used to observe the machine operation status, TDS value display, filter life, etc. in real time. At the same time, the bottom of the connecting base 2 is also provided with a water level probe 9 to promptly remind of water level changes.

[0025] In addition, the bottom of the outer cover 3 is provided with a hook position 5, the upper end of the connecting base 2 is provided with a hook position hole 6, the bottom of the connecting base 2 is provided with a buckle position 7, and the top of the water tank 1 is provided with a buckle position hole 8, that is, the water tank 1, the connecting base 2, and the outer cover 3 can be separated.

[0026] The water tank 1, connecting base 2, and outer cover 3 are all equipped with tightening rib position indicators between each pair. Rotate the outer cover counterclockwise until the hooks are completely disengaged, then lift the outer cover upwards. Pull the filter element outwards and rotate the filter element counterclockwise to remove it. Take out the new filter element and rotate it clockwise to tighten it. When the two ribs are aligned, it means the filter element replacement is complete. Take out the outer cover, align the four hooks with the hook holes on the base, and place it downwards into the base. Rotate the outer cover clockwise until the indicator arrow on the outer cover is aligned with the rib indicator on the base, which means the outer cover installation is complete.

[0027] Rotate the base counterclockwise until the latches are fully disengaged, then lift the entire base upwards to clean the water tank. Once the water tank is clean, align the entire base with the latch holes in the water tank and tighten the base clockwise. The installation is complete when the base and the water tank ribs are aligned.

[0028] In addition to the above, sealing rings are embedded at all connection points to ensure airtightness.

[0029] 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.
