Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated water purifier and dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional water purifiers typically employ one of two structures for filter replacement: The first structure involves the main unit being installed in a cabinet, with the filter located at the rear of the unit. In this case, the main unit is usually equipped with a sliding rail. To replace the filter, the user needs to manually pull the main unit out of the cabinet until the filter is exposed. This method requires additional sliding rails, resulting in higher costs and installation requirements.

[0003] The second structure involves a service plate on the front of the water inlet area of ​​the unit. To replace the filter cartridge, the user must manually remove the service plate. Understandably, this second structure has several drawbacks. First, placing the service plate in the water inlet area compromises the integrity of the product's front surface and imposes significant space constraints. Specifically, due to the depth of the water inlet area, to meet assembly requirements, either the filter cartridge length must be shortened or the product depth increased. However, the filter cartridge length limits its water production performance, while the product depth affects the installation environment. Therefore, the above structures cannot achieve a balance between filter cartridge length and product depth. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated water purifier and beverage dispenser, which effectively solves the problem of complex filter disassembly structure in related technologies.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical problems are solved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A water purifier and dispenser combo machine, comprising:

[0007] The body has a water receiving part and a mounting part located below the water receiving part. The mounting part has a mounting cavity extending along the front-rear direction of the body and an opening located on the front side of the body and communicating with the mounting cavity.

[0008] A filter element, which is detachably mounted in the mounting cavity through the opening;

[0009] A door panel is slidably installed at an opening in the body for closing or opening the opening.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the integrated water purifier and beverage dispenser of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] On the one hand, the front opening and closable door panel allow users to easily replace the filter cartridge simply by opening the door, eliminating the need to move equipment or damage the structure. Simultaneously, the filter cartridge installation cavity is located below the water inlet, avoiding its placement in the water inlet area, thus improving the integrity of the product's front. This reduces the number of steps involved in filter cartridge replacement and enhances its convenience. Furthermore, by separating the filter cartridge installation cavity from the water inlet—that is, placing the water inlet at the top of the body and the installation cavity and inlet at the bottom—the depth of the installation cavity matches the thickness of the body in the front-to-back direction. This allows for flexible adaptation to filter cartridge sizes, eliminating the need to increase the overall product depth due to filter cartridge length limitations. This design supports longer filter cartridges to improve water purification performance while reducing product space requirements, meeting the dual requirements of integrated water purifiers for filter cartridge length and product depth.

[0044] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, introduces an integrated water purifier and beverage dispenser based on this invention.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the water purifier and beverage purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body 1, a filter element 2, and a door panel 3.

[0046] The main body 1 has a water receiving part 11 and a mounting part 15 located below the water receiving part 11. The mounting part 15 has a mounting cavity 101 extending in the front-rear direction of the main body 1 and an opening 102 located on the front side of the main body 1 and communicating with the mounting cavity 101. The filter element 2 is detachably installed in the mounting cavity 101 through the opening 102. The door panel 3 is installed at the opening 102 of the main body 1 and can be opened and closed to close or open the opening 102.

[0047] The specific structure of the integrated water purifier and beverage dispenser according to an embodiment of this utility model is described below:

[0048] The main body 1 includes a water receiving section 11 and a mounting section 15 located below it. The water receiving section 11 provides a platform for the user to receive water. The mounting section 15 has a mounting cavity 101 extending in the front-rear direction, which is used to accommodate the filter element 2. An opening 102 is located on the front side of the main body 1, communicating with the mounting cavity 101 and serving as a channel for installing and removing the filter element 2. A door panel 3 is closable and installed at the opening 102 to seal or expose the mounting cavity 101.

[0049] The filter element 2 can be inserted into the mounting cavity 101 through the opening 102 and fixed in the mounting part 15. The door panel 3 and the body 1 can be connected by a hinge structure, magnetic structure, fastening structure, snap-fit ​​structure, or other connection structure. This utility model does not impose any special restrictions, as long as the door panel 3 can be opened and closed relative to the opening 102. For example, the door panel 3 and the body 1 can be connected by a hinge structure, which can rotate around the hinge axis to open or close the opening 102.

[0050] It is understood that the mounting cavity 101 provides installation space for the filter element 2, ensuring its stability and sealing. The opening 102 serves as the path for installing and removing the filter element 2, allowing replacement operations to be completed without moving the entire machine. The door panel 3 is used to cover the opening 102 when closed, maintaining the integrity of the equipment's appearance; and to expose the mounting cavity 101 when open, facilitating user operation of the filter element 2.

[0051] Based on the above structural description, the specific working principle of this utility model's integrated water purifier and beverage dispenser is as follows:

[0052] This invention, by providing an opening 102 on the front side of the body 1 and combining it with the openable design of the door panel 3, allows users to directly access the mounting cavity 101 without disassembling the entire machine or damaging the equipment structure. When closed, the door panel 3 forms a sealed structure, preventing external contaminants from entering the mounting cavity 101 and maintaining the cleanliness of the equipment's appearance. When open, the door panel 3 provides sufficient operating space, allowing the replacement of the filter element 2 without relying on external tools or complex procedures. Furthermore, since the mounting cavity 101 extends in the front-to-back direction, it ensures that the insertion and removal path of the filter element 2 aligns with the opening 102, while avoiding an increase in the machine's depth due to filter element 2 replacement, thereby reducing the space required for replacement operations.

[0053] Further, taking the hinged connection between the door panel 3 and the body 1 as an example, the operation process of replacing the filter element 2 in this utility model's integrated water purifier is as follows: The user manually rotates the door panel 3 to the open state, exposing the opening 102 and the mounting cavity 101. Then, the user pulls out the old filter element 2 through the opening 102 along the front-back direction of the mounting cavity 101, and then inserts the new filter element 2 along the same path into the mounting cavity 101, ensuring a sealed connection with the water system. Finally, the door panel 3 is rotated back to the closed state, at which point the door panel 3 blocks the opening 102, and the device returns to its initial state.

[0054] As described above, this utility model solves the problem of inconvenient filter replacement in traditional embedded water purifiers by linking the opening 102 with the door panel 3, while also considering the aesthetics and functionality of the device. Specifically, the directional extension of the mounting cavity 101 ensures that the insertion and removal path of the filter 2 is aligned with the opening 102, thereby reducing the required operating space; while the door panel 3 protects the filter 2 from contamination when closed and facilitates user operation of the filter 2 when open.

[0055] In summary, according to the embodiments of the present invention, the integrated water purifier and refrigerator, by providing an opening 102 on the front side of the body 1 and combining it with the openable design of the door panel 3, allows users to directly access the mounting cavity 101 to replace the filter element 2 without disassembling the entire machine or damaging the equipment structure. It is understood that, since no complicated disassembly steps are required, filter element 2 replacement becomes simpler and faster, reducing operational difficulty and time costs. At the same time, it reduces the risk of loosening or damage to the equipment structure due to frequent disassembly, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0056] Specifically, on the one hand, through the front opening 102 and the openable door panel 3, the user only needs to open the door panel 3 to replace the filter element 2, without moving equipment or damaging the structure. At the same time, the installation cavity 101 of the filter element 2 is located below the water receiving part 11, avoiding its location in the water receiving operation area, thus improving the integrity of the product's front side. This reduces the number of steps involved in replacing the filter element 2 and enhances the convenience of filter element 2 replacement.

[0057] Furthermore, by separating the mounting cavity 101 of the filter element 2 from the water receiving part 11, i.e., placing the water receiving part 11 at the upper part of the body 1, and placing the mounting cavity 101 and the mounting part 15 at the lower part of the body 1, the depth of the mounting cavity 101 can be flexibly adapted to the size of the filter element 2, without increasing the overall depth of the product due to the length limitation of the filter element 2. This allows for the support of longer filter elements 2 to improve water purification performance while reducing the space occupied by the product, thus meeting the dual requirements of the integrated water purifier / drinker for both filter element 2 length and product depth. It should also be noted that because this invention uses a door panel 3 design, which covers the opening 102 when closed, the integrated design of the device's appearance is maintained, ensuring the integrity and aesthetics of the device's appearance when not being replaced. Furthermore, since the mounting cavity 101 extends in the front-to-back direction and is sealed by the door panel 3 during non-replacement periods to prevent external contaminants from entering, the aforementioned closed design effectively prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the mounting cavity 101, ensuring a clean working environment for the filter element 2, thereby guaranteeing the safety of water quality and the service life of the filter element 2.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, when the door panel 3 is open, the surface of the door panel 3 is parallel to the axis of the filter element 2, and when the door panel 3 is closed, the door panel 3 is attached to the front side of the body 1 and perpendicular to the axis of the filter element 2.

[0059] In this embodiment, the door panel 3 is designed to be openable and closable, allowing it to be opened or closed from the front of the body 1. The opening and closing mechanism can be hinged, latched, or other forms, ensuring that the door panel 3 can smoothly transition from a closed position to an open position. The filter element 2 is installed in the mounting cavity 101 inside the body 1 and extends in the front-to-back direction. The axis of the filter element 2 is defined as its major axis direction, which is typically aligned with the direction of water flow.

[0060] When the door panel 3 is open, its surface is parallel to the axis of the filter element 2. At this time, the door panel 3 is moved to a position that avoids interfering with the user's operation of the filter element 2, thus facilitating the user's easy replacement or maintenance of the filter element 2. When the door panel 3 is closed, it fits tightly against the front of the body 1, and at this time, the door panel 3 is perpendicular to the axis of the filter element 2. This not only helps maintain the integrated design of the equipment's appearance but also effectively prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the installation cavity 101, thereby ensuring water quality safety.

[0061] In summary, when open, the door panel 3 provides users with an unobstructed operating area, facilitating quick replacement or inspection of the filter element 2 without the need for complicated tools or procedures, thus improving user convenience. When closed, the door panel 3 fits seamlessly with the front of the main body 1, maintaining the integrated design of the equipment's appearance. Simultaneously, it effectively protects internal components from external contamination, enhancing the safety of the equipment.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, further, when the door panel 3 is opened, the projections of the filter element 2 and the door panel 3 in the horizontal direction do not intersect.

[0063] It is understandable that when the door panel 3 is opened, the projections of the filter element 2 and the door panel 3 in the horizontal direction do not overlap, that is, there is no physical interference between the two. This ensures that when replacing or maintaining the filter element 2, the door panel 3 will not block the user's operation path, avoiding the risk of inconvenience or damage caused by potential interference between components, thereby improving the user's operation convenience and efficiency.

[0064] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the door panel 3 is rotatably connected to the body 1.

[0065] The rotatable connection between the door panel 3 and the body 1 can be achieved through a hinge structure. The hinge structure can be a conventional hinge, a damping hinge 4, or a rebound hinge, etc., and this invention does not impose any special limitations on this. Simultaneously, the door panel 3 can also be hinged to the body 1 at different positions to achieve a rotatable connection, and this invention also does not impose any special limitations on this. For example, the door panel 3 can be hinged to the upper side wall of the opening 102, or the door panel 3 can be hinged to the lower side wall of the opening 102.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the door panel 3 is hinged to the upper sidewall of the opening 102, and the door panel 3 rotates downward to close the opening 102.

[0067] In this embodiment, the door panel 3 is connected to the upper sidewall of the opening 102 of the body 1 via a hinge structure, and the axis of rotation is located at the upper part of the door panel 3. The door panel 3 rotates downward around the upper hinge to fit against the front side of the body 1 to close the opening 102. When closed, the bottom edge of the door panel 3 is completely fitted against the front side of the body 1 to form a sealed structure.

[0068] Under the above structure, the opening and closing process of the door panel 3 is as follows: When it needs to be opened, the user lifts the door panel 3 upwards, using the hinge structure to rotate it around the upper axis, exposing the opening 102 and the mounting cavity 101. When it needs to be closed, the door panel 3 rotates downwards under the action of gravity, fitting against the front side of the body 1 and sealing the opening 102; at this time, the bottom edge of the door panel 3 forms a tight contact with the front side of the body 1, thereby preventing dust or foreign objects from entering the mounting cavity 101.

[0069] This downward closing motion is ergonomic, allowing users to operate it with one hand, making it suitable for scenarios requiring frequent filter replacements. Simultaneously, the door panel 3's own weight assists in closing, reducing reliance on seals and extending its lifespan.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, in some other embodiments, the door panel 3 is hinged to the lower sidewall of the opening 102, and the door panel 3 rotates upward to close the opening 102.

[0071] In this embodiment, the door panel 3 is connected to the lower side wall of the opening 102 of the body 1 via a hinge structure, and the axis of rotation is located at the lower part of the door panel 3. The door panel 3 rotates upward around the lower hinge to fit against the front side of the body 1 to close the opening 102. When closed, the top edge of the door panel 3 is completely fitted against the front side of the body 1 to form a sealed structure.

[0072] Under the above structure, the opening and closing process of door panel 3 is as follows: When it needs to be opened, the user pulls down on door panel 3, using the hinge structure to rotate it around the lower axis, exposing opening 102 and mounting cavity 101. When it needs to be closed, the user operates it manually, or door panel 3 automatically rotates upward through rebound device 5 or elastic structure, thereby fitting against the front side of body 1 and sealing opening 102; at this time, the top edge of door panel 3 forms a tight contact with the front side of body 1, thereby preventing contaminants from entering mounting cavity 101.

[0073] In this way, the user can open the door panel 3 smoothly by using its own weight, making it easier and less strenuous for the user. At the same time, the door panel 3 is located at the bottom of the body 1 after it is opened, which can avoid affecting the user's operation of the body 1, such as filling a tall cup with water.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water purifier also includes a damping hinge 4. The damping hinge 4 is located at the hinge joint between the door panel 3 and the opening 102.

[0075] In this embodiment, during the closing process of the door panel 3, the damping hinge 4 can play a buffering and automatic reset role, that is, slow down the closing speed of the door panel 3 during the process of automatically closing the door panel 3 by relying on the elastic force to avoid impact.

[0076] Taking the damping hinge 4 as an example of a concealed, top-and-bottom hinge, its structure is roughly as follows: The damping hinge 4 includes a first hinge assembly and a second hinge assembly. The first hinge assembly includes a hinge box, a mounting bracket, a drive shaft, a damping assembly, and a spring assembly. The hinge box is the outer shell of the overall structure, fixed and hidden on the body 1. The mounting bracket is fixed inside the hinge box and supports other components. The damping assembly typically consists of a hydraulic damper and damping fluid, providing cushioning force. The spring assembly provides the restoring force when closed. The drive shaft connects the damping assembly and the spring assembly.

[0077] The second hinge assembly is fixed to the door panel 3 and hinged to the first component via a connecting arm. The connecting arm includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm abuts against the damping assembly via a drive shaft, providing a buffering force when the door panel 3 is closed. The second arm abuts against the spring assembly via a drive shaft, providing a restoring force when the door panel 3 is opened or closed to a preset angle.

[0078] The working principle of the damping hinge 4 is as follows: When the door panel 3 is closed, the first lever arm pushes the piston rod of the damping assembly, forcing the damping fluid to flow through the micro-holes on the piston, generating resistance, thereby slowing down the closing speed of the door panel 3 and avoiding impact. When the door panel 3 is opened to a preset angle, the second lever arm applies a restoring force through the spring assembly, causing the door panel 3 to automatically and slowly close. The elastic coefficient of the spring assembly can be adjusted according to actual conditions to match the weight and closing speed requirements of the door panel 3.

[0079] In this way, the damping hinge 4 ensures that the door panel 3 closes slowly and smoothly, avoiding the sudden impact that may occur with traditional hinges. At the same time, the damping hinge 4 can also enable the door panel 3 to automatically close and reset when it reaches a specific opening angle, improving the user experience.

[0080] like Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of this utility model, the integrated water purifier also includes a rebounder 5. The rebounder 5 includes a rebound fixing seat, an elastic element, and a movable rebound element. The movable rebound element is movably connected to the rebound fixing seat through the elastic element. The rebound fixing seat is fixed to one of the door panel 3 and the body 1. When the door panel 3 is closed, the movable rebound element abuts against the other of the door panel 3 and the body 1, and the elastic element is in a compressed state.

[0081] In this embodiment, the rebound fixing seat is the fixed part of the rebounder 5, installed on one of the door panel 3 or the body 1. Its function is to provide a support point, thereby ensuring that the entire rebounder 5 is stably fixed on the body 1 or the door panel 3. The movable rebound member contacts and abuts against the other of the door panel 3 or the body 1 when the door panel 3 is closed. Through the action of the elastic member, the movable rebound member generates a reverse thrust when the door panel 3 is opened, thereby assisting the door panel 3 to open.

[0082] The elastic element can be a spring or other elastic material, used to connect the rebound fixing seat and the movable rebound element. The elastic element can be compressed when the door panel 3 is closed, thereby storing potential energy; when the door panel 3 is opened, the elastic element releases energy, thereby pushing the movable rebound element to reset.

[0083] Based on the above structure, the specific working process of the rebound device 5 is as follows: The rebound fixing seat is fixed on the body 1. When the door panel 3 is closed, the movable rebound component abuts against the door panel 3. At this time, the elastic component is compressed and is in an energy storage state. When the user starts to open the door panel 3, the elastic component releases the previously stored energy, pushing the movable rebound component to move outward. At this time, the movable rebound component applies a certain pushing force to the door panel 3, helping the door panel 3 to open more smoothly.

[0084] In this way, on the one hand, when the user opens the door panel 3, the rebound device 5 can automatically push the door panel 3 open at a certain angle, assisting the door to open more smoothly and making it easier for the user; on the other hand, the rebound device 5 can also prevent the door panel 3 from directly hitting the body 1 when closing, thereby reducing wear and noise and improving service life.

[0085] According to other embodiments of the present invention, the door panel 3 can also be connected by other means such as magnetic connection to achieve openable and closable installation between the door panel 3 and the opening 102 of the body 1.

[0086] In some specific embodiments, the door panel 3 is provided with a magnetic suction component, and the mounting part 15 is provided with a magnetic suction mating component. The magnetic suction component and the magnetic suction mating component are magnetically connected, thereby realizing the magnetic connection between the door panel 3 and the mounting part 15, and thus enabling the door panel 3 to be opened and closed and installed at the opening 102 on the mounting part 15.

[0087] For example, a magnetic attracting component is installed on the inner side of the door panel 3, that is, the side facing the mounting part 15. The magnetic attracting component can be an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, or other structures. A magnetic attracting component is installed on the outer side of the mounting part 15, that is, the side facing the door panel 3. The magnetic attracting component is located near the opening 102. The magnetic attracting component can be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet, etc., that magnetically attracts the magnetic attracting component. It should be noted that this utility model does not impose special restrictions on the structure and specific position of the magnetic attracting component and the magnetic attracting component, as long as the two can achieve a magnetic connection between the door panel 3 and the mounting part 15.

[0088] In this way, the door panel 3 can be opened and closed by means of magnetic connection, which is simple in structure and assembly, while also achieving a stable magnetic connection. Furthermore, the door panel 3 can be removed from the mounting part 15 at any time, which is convenient for the maintenance and replacement of the door panel 3.

[0089] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the number of mounting cavities 101 and openings 102 is not limited to one; that is, the mounting part 15 can be provided with two or more mounting cavities 101 and two or more openings 102. It should be noted that the number of openings 102 is equal to the number of mounting cavities 101, and the two are connected in a one-to-one correspondence. Each mounting cavity 101 requires an externally open opening 102 to realize the extraction and installation of the filter element 2.

[0090] In related technologies, the water system of a water purifier / dispenser typically includes at least two filter cartridges: a pre-filter and an RO filter. During operation, the water to be purified generally first passes through the pre-filter and then undergoes secondary filtration through the RO filter. However, due to limitations in the filter installation structure of existing water purifiers on the market, the current structure does not specifically address the positional relationship between the two filters. This results in the pre-filter and RO filter being typically far apart and lacking a direct correspondence, leading to complex and lengthy piping structures between them. This results in higher overall costs and less stable water systems for the water purifier / dispenser.

[0091] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to solve the technical defects existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, in some specific embodiments of this utility model, the mounting part 15 is provided with two adjacent mounting cavities 101 and two openings 102. The two openings 102 are respectively connected to the two mounting cavities 101 in a one-to-one correspondence. The filter element 2 includes a pre-filter element 21 and an RO filter element 22, which are respectively installed in the two mounting cavities 101. The outlet of the pre-filter element 21 and the inlet of the RO filter element 22 are connected through a connecting pipe 7 located on the rear side of the body 1.

[0092] Specifically, this invention features a dedicated mounting section 15 inside the body 1. This mounting section 15 has two front-to-back aligned mounting cavities 101, which are used to mount the pre-filter 21 and the RO filter 22, respectively. Each mounting cavity 101 has a corresponding opening 102 to facilitate the insertion and replacement of the filter 2.

[0093] It should be noted that the two filter elements 2 extend along the front and rear direction of the body 1, so that they form a direct front-to-back correspondence in space. That is, the front side of the pre-filter element 21 and the front side of the RO filter element 22 correspond to the two openings 102 respectively, while the rear side of the pre-filter element 21 and the rear side of the RO filter element 22 form their water outlet and water inlet respectively, and extend to the rear side of the body 1 and are aligned. Thus, the water outlet of the pre-filter element 21 and the water inlet of the RO filter element 22 can be directly connected through the connecting pipe 7 located on the rear side of the body 1, avoiding the large number of exposed and lengthy pipe structures in traditional designs.

[0094] In this way, because the two filter elements 2 are aligned front to back and connected by a shorter connecting pipe 7, the water path is significantly shortened, reducing the number and complexity of external pipes, thereby lowering manufacturing and assembly costs. Secondly, the shorter connection path improves the system's sealing performance, effectively reducing the risk of leakage and enhancing the stability and efficiency of the water purification process. Furthermore, the modular installation cavity 101 design makes filter element 2 replacement more convenient; users can complete maintenance operations without disassembling a large number of pipes, greatly improving the user experience.

[0095] Furthermore, the two mounting cavities 101 are adjacent yet spaced apart. It can be understood that this invention, while ensuring independent installation space for each cavity, minimizes the distance between the two mounting cavities 101. This not only avoids lengthening the water path due to excessive distance between filter elements 2, but also maintains sufficient structural strength and sealing space through the spaced arrangement, thus balancing compactness and functionality.

[0096] In some specific embodiments, since the two are located close to each other, the connecting pipe 7 between the outlet of the pre-filter 21 and the inlet of the RO filter 22 can be further shortened, and standardized and modular connectors can be used for fixed connection, thereby reducing the complex components such as elbows and joints required by traditional external pipelines, thus simplifying the assembly process and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0097] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting part 15 is further provided with a storage cavity and a pull-out opening 103 that are interconnected. The water purifier also includes a storage drawer 6, which is installed in the storage cavity through the pull-out opening 103. The pull-out opening 103 and the opening 102 are arranged side by side, and the door panel 3 is used to close or open the pull-out opening 103 and the opening 102.

[0098] In this embodiment, the storage drawer 6 is embedded in the storage cavity and communicates with the outside through the pull-out opening 103. When the door panel 3 is open, the user can fully pull out or push back the storage drawer 6 by sliding it to access items; when the door panel 3 is closed, the storage drawer 6 is sealed, thus isolating external dust and extending the lifespan of items. In some specific embodiments, the bottom of the storage drawer 6 may be equipped with slide rails or casters to ensure smooth and stable pulling.

[0099] It is understandable that in the integrated water purifier and dispenser, the storage drawer 6 is connected to the storage cavity via a pull-out opening 103, forming a complete storage system. The storage drawer 6 is embedded into the storage cavity via a sliding rail, with the pull-out opening 103 serving as the passageway between the two. When the user opens the door panel 3, they can pull out the storage drawer 6 through the pull-out opening 103 to access or replenish accessories; after use, the drawer is pushed back and the door panel 3 is closed. In this way, each component is independent and replaceable, facilitating maintenance and upgrades. Simultaneously, the storage function is separated from the core water purification system, thus avoiding mutual interference between the two.

[0100] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting part 15 further includes a storage cavity and two mounting cavities 101, which are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. Correspondingly, the mounting part 15 also includes a pull-out opening 103 and two openings 102, which are arranged side by side in the left-right direction.

[0101] For example, from left to right, the mounting section 15 is provided with a storage cavity, a mounting cavity 101, and another mounting cavity 101 in sequence. Correspondingly, the front surface of the mounting section 15 is provided with a pull-out port 103, an opening 102, and another opening 102 in sequence. The storage cavity and the two mounting cavities 101 extend along the front-rear direction of the body 1, and their central axes are parallel to each other. An RO filter element 22 is installed in the middle mounting cavity 101, while a pre-filter element 21 is installed in the right-hand mounting cavity 101.

[0102] In the above embodiment, the storage chamber is located on the left side and is used to accommodate the storage drawer 6; the middle mounting chamber 101 is used to install the RO filter element 22 to complete the deep purification treatment of water; the right mounting chamber 101 is used to install the pre-filter element 21 as the first-stage filtration unit for water purification. The three functional chambers are arranged linearly in space and all extend along the front-back direction of the body 1, with their respective central axes parallel to each other, thus forming a unified and coordinated spatial structure.

[0103] In this way, the aforementioned spatial layout structure achieves a reasonable distribution of the internal functional modules of the integrated water purifier and dispenser, integrating the core components of the water purification system and auxiliary storage components into the same mounting section 15. This ensures the independence of each functional area while improving the overall compactness and aesthetics of the structure. Secondly, by arranging the installation cavity 101 of the filter element 2 alongside the storage cavity, the door panel 3 can cover all openings 102 and pull-out ports 103, enabling integrated control of multiple functional areas, simplifying the user's operating process, and improving the ease of use of the equipment.

[0104] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water purifier also includes a filter cartridge support 12. The filter cartridge support 12 is installed in the mounting part 15 and extends along the front and rear direction of the body 1. The interior of the filter cartridge support 12 defines a mounting cavity 101. The front end of the filter cartridge support 12 is open and aligned with the opening 102.

[0105] In this embodiment, the filter cartridge support 12 is a frame or shell structure extending along the front-rear direction of the body 1 and is installed in the mounting part 15 inside the body 1. The filter cartridge support 12 can be made of a rigid material, such as metal or high-strength plastic, to ensure load-bearing capacity and durability.

[0106] The filter cartridge support 12 defines an installation cavity 101 for accommodating the filter element 2 assembly. The shape of the installation cavity 101 can be designed to match the geometry of the filter element 2. Furthermore, auxiliary structures such as positioning grooves, limiting ribs, and guide rails can be provided on the inner wall of the installation cavity 101 to enhance the positioning accuracy and installation stability of the filter element 2.

[0107] The front end of the filter cartridge support 12 is provided with an open port, which is aligned with the opening 102 on the body 1. This allows the filter element 2 to be inserted or removed from the front of the body 1, facilitating the installation and replacement of the filter element 2. It also allows users to observe the status of the filter element 2 through the open port, making it easier for users to determine whether cleaning and maintenance are required.

[0108] Understandably, when filter element 2 needs to be installed, the user can insert it into the filter cartridge holder 12 from the front through the opening 102 in a front-to-back direction. When filter element 2 needs to be replaced, simply pull out the old filter element 2 from the front opening 102 and insert the new filter element 2. There is no need to disassemble the machine casing or other components, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency.

[0109] In this way, since the filter cartridge support 12 is arranged along the front-to-back direction of the body 1, it saves lateral space, improves space utilization, and meets the depth requirements of the installation cavity 101, allowing it to accommodate the taller filter element 2. At the same time, the open front design of the filter element 2 support allows users to quickly replace the filter element 2 without tools, improving the user experience.

[0110] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water purifier also includes a water circuit board 13 and a water circuit board bracket 14.

[0111] Water circuit board 13 and water circuit board bracket 14 are both installed in the mounting part 15 and located behind the filter cartridge bracket 12. The rear end of the filter cartridge bracket 12 is open and is aligned with the water circuit board bracket 14 and water circuit board 13 in sequence. One end of the water circuit board 13 passes through the water circuit board bracket 14 and is connected to the rear end of the filter element 2, and the other end is connected to the water circuit system in the water purifier.

[0112] In this embodiment, the water circuit board 13 can be made of high-strength plastic or metal, possessing good corrosion resistance and sealing performance. The water circuit board 13 is provided with a front-end interface, a rear-end interface, and a water passage. The front-end interface is used to connect to the rear end of the filter element 2, the rear-end interface is used to connect to the overall water circuit system, and the water passage guides the water treated by the filter element 2 to the subsequent water circuit system.

[0113] The water channel plate bracket 14 is used to fix and support the water channel plate 13, and provides positioning and limiting functions. The water channel plate bracket 14 is installed in the mounting part 15 and is located behind the filter cartridge bracket 12. The water channel plate bracket 14 is provided with water passage holes, so that the front end interface of the water channel plate 13 can pass through and connect with the rear end of the filter cartridge. It can be understood that the rear end of the filter cartridge bracket 12 is designed as an open structure, aligned front and rear with the water channel plate bracket 14 and the water channel plate 13. In this way, the water outlet of the filter element 2 can be directly connected to the front end interface of the water channel plate 13 through the rear opening 102.

[0114] The specific assembly process is as follows: the filter cartridge support 12 is first installed in the mounting part 15 inside the body 1; the water circuit board support 14 is installed behind the filter cartridge support 12; the water circuit board 13 is inserted into the water circuit board support 14 and kept aligned with the rear end of the filter cartridge support 12; the filter element 2 is inserted into the filter cartridge support 12 from the front end, and its rear end is automatically connected to the front end interface of the water circuit board 13; the rear end of the water circuit board 13 is connected to the water circuit system of the whole machine.

[0115] In summary, this utility model achieves efficient connection between filter element 2 and water system through front-to-back alignment and modular integration, thereby improving the structural stability, assembly convenience and maintenance ease of the whole machine.

[0116] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the water circuit plate 13 is further provided with a receiving groove 131 on the front side, and the rear end of the filter element 2 is detachably fitted in the receiving groove 131. The water circuit plate 13 is provided with a water passage on the rear side, and the water passage connects the filter element 2 and the water circuit system.

[0117] The receiving groove 131 is located on the front side of the water channel plate 13 and is used to receive and fix the rear end of the filter element 2, thereby ensuring that the filter element 2 can be firmly connected to the water channel plate 13. The receiving groove 131 has a shape and size that matches the rear end of the filter element 2 to achieve precise alignment. At the same time, a sealing ring or rubber gasket may be provided inside the receiving groove 131 to enhance the sealing of the connection and prevent leakage. Furthermore, the receiving groove 131 can be designed as a quick-release structure, such as having a snap-on or rotary locking device inside, to facilitate user replacement of the filter element 2.

[0118] The water passage is located on the rear side of the water circuit plate 13. As an internal flow channel connecting the filter element 2 and the overall water circuit system, it is responsible for guiding water flow into the filter element 2 and guiding the water treated by the filter element 2 into the subsequent water circuit system. The water passage contains multiple branch channels to correspond to different flow paths.

[0119] In this way, by setting a dedicated receiving groove 131 on the front side of the water circuit plate 13 to fix the rear end of the filter element 2, the accuracy and stability of the filter element 2 installation can be significantly improved, reducing the risk of leakage caused by improper installation. Furthermore, the detachable assembly method makes filter element 2 replacement simpler and faster, requiring no special tools and greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0120] like Figure 7 As shown, in some specific embodiments, filter element 2 includes a pre-filter element 21 and an RO filter element 22. The rear ends of the pre-filter element 21 and the RO filter element 22 are respectively installed on their respective water circuit plates 13. The pre-filter element 21 and the RO filter element 22 are connected by a connecting pipe 7. The connecting pipe 7 starts from the outlet of the pre-filter element 21, passes through the water circuit plate 13 corresponding to the pre-filter element 21, and further passes through components such as a booster pump. Then it passes through the water circuit plate 13 corresponding to the RO filter element 22 and connects to the inlet of the RO filter element 22, thus realizing the connection between the pre-filter element 21 and the RO filter element 22. The pre-filter element 21 can adopt a PPC composite filter element or other structures, and this utility model does not impose any special limitations on it.

[0121] like Figure 7 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the integrated water purifier has a built-in water circuit board 81 inside. The built-in water circuit board 81 is located on the back of the water receiving part 11 and forms part of the water circuit system. The filter element 2 is connected to the built-in water circuit board 81 and thus connected to the water circuit system. The built-in water circuit board 81 is located above the filter element 2.

[0122] like Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water purifier also includes a booster pump 82 and a refrigeration module. The booster pump 82 is located on the back of the mounting part 15 and on the side of the filter element 2, and the refrigeration module is located on the back of the water receiving part 11.

[0123] In this embodiment, by placing the booster pump 82 and the refrigeration module on the back space of the mounting part 15 and the water receiving part 11 respectively, the back space of the water purifier is rationally utilized, thereby enabling the booster pump 82 and the refrigeration module to have a reasonable spatial arrangement within the water purifier, thus optimizing the spatial arrangement structure and improving the space utilization rate.

[0124] like Figure 7As shown, the refrigeration module further includes a heat dissipation module 83 and a compressor, etc. Specifically, the heat dissipation module 83 includes a cooling fan, heat dissipation fins, and a blower, etc. The heat dissipation module 83 is located on the back of the water inlet 11 and above the booster pump 82. The heat dissipation module 83 is located to the side of the built-in water circuit board 81.

[0125] like Figure 7 As shown, the water purifier further includes a control module, which is also installed on the back of the water inlet 11. The control module is connected to both the cooling module and the booster pump 82. The control module includes a power board 91, a control board 92, and a power adapter 93 that are interconnected. The power adapter 93 is located above the heat dissipation module 83, while the control board 92 and the power board 91 are located above the built-in water circuit board 81, and the power adapter 93 is located to the side of the control board 92 and the power board 91.

[0126] The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
