Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purifiers, and in particular to a front door decorative panel installation structure for a water purifier and a water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] A water purifier is a water treatment device that performs deep filtration and purification of water according to the requirements for water use. It contains components such as a power supply and a water circuit board. For example, Chinese invention patent application number CN202411256687.5 (publication number CN118954650A) entitled "A Water Purification System and Water Purification Equipment", and Chinese invention patent application number CN202410374061.8 (publication number CN118021145A) entitled "A Hot and Cold Integrated Water Purifier".

[0003] Decorative panels are placed on the front of the water purifier to enhance its appearance. Furthermore, for convenient water filling, some water purifiers on the market feature a height-adjustable spout, and correspondingly, the decorative panel has a window for this movement. For example, Chinese invention patent ZL 201910897431.5 (authorization announcement number CN111198578B) entitled "Water Purifier and Control Method Thereof". However, existing decorative panels for water purifiers suffer from cumbersome assembly and unstable assembly structures, requiring further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water purifier front door decorative panel installation structure that is stable to assemble and easy to operate, in contrast to the existing technology.

[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water purifier with the above-mentioned front door decorative panel mounting structure, in contrast to the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is as follows: a front door decorative panel installation structure for a water purifier, comprising a front door decorative panel and a front wall of a housing frame, the front wall extending vertically in the left-right direction, and the front door decorative panel being disposed on the front surface of the front wall in the left-right direction, wherein a sliding opening for the water outlet to slide up and down is provided on the front door decorative panel along its own height direction, and the front wall is provided with windows corresponding to the sliding opening, characterized in that...

[0007] The front door trim panel and the front wall are provided with a connecting component on the first side along the left-right direction, and a positioning component on the second side. A latching component is provided on both the connecting component and the positioning component. The connecting direction of the connecting component is opposite to the positioning direction of the positioning component in the left-right direction, and also opposite to the latching direction of the latching component in the left-right direction.

[0008] Furthermore, when the first and second connectors in the plug-in assembly are plugged into place in the left-right direction, pressing the second side of the front door trim panel backward causes the first and second positioning components of the positioning assembly to contact each other and position the front door trim panel. At the same time, the first and second latching components of the latching assembly are latched together.

[0009] Furthermore, the system also includes a fixing assembly, which comprises a first fixing member disposed on the front door trim panel and a second fixing member disposed on the front wall. With the front door trim panel positioned on the front wall, the first and second fixing members face each other in the front-rear direction and are fixed to each other by fasteners. Fixing the front door trim panel to the front wall using this fixing assembly further ensures the stability and reliability of the assembly. Furthermore, with the front door trim panel positioned on the front wall, the first and second fixing members facing each other in the front-rear direction facilitates the fasteners' secure connection.

[0010] Furthermore, the latching assembly and the fixing assembly are respectively disposed on both sides of the aforementioned sliding opening and window, with the latching assembly adjacent to the aforementioned connecting assembly and the fixing assembly adjacent to the aforementioned positioning assembly. In this way, the connecting assembly and the latching assembly cooperate to securely connect the first side of the front door trim panel to the first side of the front wall, while the fixing assembly and the positioning assembly cooperate to securely position and fix the second side of the front door trim panel to the second side of the front wall, which helps to better ensure the stability of the assembly between the front door trim panel and the front wall.

[0011] Furthermore, the front door trim panel includes a main board and a trim panel detachably covering the front of the main board. The aforementioned sliding opening sequentially passes through the main board and the trim panel. The main board has through holes extending laterally. The first latching member is a latching strip disposed in the through hole, extending laterally, with one end fixed to the edge of the through hole and the other end having a latching block protruding from the back of the front door trim panel. The second latching member is a latching opening formed on the front wall.

[0012] The aforementioned latching strip has a certain degree of elasticity. When the first and second connectors in the plug-in assembly are plugged in, the latching strip deforms due to the latching block abutting against the front wall, causing the latching block to tend to move backward. When the front door trim panel is positioned on the front wall, the latching strip releases its elastic force, causing the latching block to engage in the latching hole and abut against the corresponding side of the hole edge in the left-right direction. In this way, during the plugging process of the first and second connectors, the latching strip deforms and accumulates potential energy. When the plugging is in place, because the latching strip and the latching hole are aligned front to back, the latching strip releases its potential energy and engages in the latching hole. This not only facilitates the engagement of the first and second latching components but also helps to ensure a secure connection between them.

[0013] Furthermore, the first fixing member is a fixing post protruding along the front-rear direction on the back of the aforementioned front door decorative panel, and the fixing post has a fixing channel that runs through the front and rear. The second fixing member is a fixing groove formed by the front wall being recessed towards the rear, and a fixing hole is provided on the rear wall of the fixing groove.

[0014] With the front door trim panel positioned on the front wall, the fixing post is inserted into the fixing slot, and the fixing channel and fixing hole are aligned front to back. Fasteners are then inserted through the fixing holes and fixing channels from back to front to fix the front door trim panel to the front wall. In this way, the first and second fixing members are used for positioning, and the fasteners are used to accurately fix the front door trim panel to the front wall from back to front.

[0015] Furthermore, the first connector is a connector block protruding from the back of the aforementioned front door decorative panel. This connector block extends in the front-rear direction and then bends in the left-right direction. One side of the aforementioned front wall is fixed to the side wall of the housing frame. This side wall is vertically arranged in the left-right direction. The aforementioned second connector is a connector hole opened at the corner of the front wall and the side wall.

[0016] When the first connector and the second connector are connected, the bent part of the first connector is engaged in the second connector, while the left and right extensions of the first connector abut against the back of the front wall. This design ensures that the first connector is securely connected to the second connector, which facilitates a stable connection between the first side of the front door trim panel and the first side of the front wall.

[0017] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib extending along its own length is protruding from the inner surface of the first connector. This not only makes the structure of the first connector more robust, but also further enhances the stability of the connection between the first connector and the second connector.

[0018] Furthermore, the first positioning element is a positioning piece protruding from the back of the aforementioned front door trim panel, which is vertically positioned along the front-rear direction. The second positioning element is a positioning groove recessed inward on the corresponding side of the front wall, into which the positioning piece is inserted. Thus, when the second side of the front door trim panel is pressed backward, the first positioning element can be inserted into the second positioning element, thereby achieving positioning of the second side of the front door trim panel and the second side of the front wall.

[0019] The technical solution adopted to further solve the second technical problem mentioned above is: a water purifier, including the water purifier front door decorative panel mounting structure as described above.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves the assembly of the front door trim panel on the front wall through a plug-in assembly, a positioning assembly, and a snap-fit ​​assembly. Furthermore, the plug-in direction of the plug-in assembly is opposite to the positioning direction of the positioning assembly in the left-right direction, and also opposite to the snap-fit ​​direction of the snap-fit ​​assembly in the left-right direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the assembly between the front door trim panel and the front wall. During assembly, the first plug-in member and the second plug-in member are plugged in from the first side to the second side of the front wall. When the plug-in is in place, the second side of the front door trim panel is pressed backward, and the first positioning member and the second positioning member contact each other, positioning the front door trim panel on the front wall. Simultaneously, the first snap-fit ​​member and the second snap-fit ​​member are interlocked. The assembly of the front door trim panel and the front wall can be completed in two steps, making the operation convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0033] A water purifier, including such Figures 1-10 The diagram illustrates a front door decorative panel mounting structure for a water purifier. This structure includes a front door decorative panel 1 and a front wall 21 of the housing frame 2. The front wall 21 extends vertically in the left-right direction, and the front door decorative panel 1 is positioned on the front surface of the front wall 21 in the left-right direction. The front door decorative panel 1 has a sliding opening 10 along its height for the water outlet to slide vertically, and the front wall 21 has windows 210 corresponding to the sliding opening 10.

[0034] Furthermore, both the front door trim panel 1 and the front wall 21 are provided with a connecting component 3 on the first side along the left-right direction, and a positioning component 4 on the second side, and a latching component 5 is provided on the connecting component 3 and the positioning component 4. The connecting direction of the connecting component 3 is opposite to the positioning direction of the positioning component 4 along the left-right direction, and also opposite to the latching direction of the latching component 5 along the left-right direction. Furthermore, when the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32 in the connecting component 3 are connected in the left-right direction, pressing the second side of the front door trim panel 1 backward causes the first positioning member 41 and the second positioning member 42 of the positioning component 4 to contact and position the front door trim panel 1. At the same time, the first latching member 51 and the second latching member 52 of the latching component 5 are latched together.

[0035] This invention achieves the assembly of the front door trim panel 1 onto the front wall 21 using a connecting component 3, a positioning component 4, and a snap-fit ​​component 5. The connecting direction of the connecting component 3 is opposite to the positioning direction of the positioning component 4 in the left-right direction, and also opposite to the snap-fit ​​direction of the snap-fit ​​component 5 in the left-right direction, thus ensuring the stability of the assembly between the front door trim panel 1 and the front wall 21. During assembly, the first connecting component 31 and the second connecting component 32 are connected from the first side to the second side of the front wall 21. When the connection is in place, the second side of the front door trim panel 1 is pressed backward, causing the first positioning component 41 and the second positioning component 42 to contact and position the front door trim panel 1 on the front wall 21. Simultaneously, the first snap-fit ​​component 51 and the second snap-fit ​​component 52 are snapped together. Therefore, the assembly of the front door trim panel 1 and the front wall 21 can be completed in two steps, making the operation convenient. In this embodiment, the first side specifically refers to the left side, and the second side specifically refers to the right side.

[0036] Preferably, the assembly further includes a fixing component 6, which comprises a first fixing member 61 disposed on the front door trim panel 1 and a second fixing member 62 disposed on the front wall 21. When the front door trim panel 1 is positioned on the front wall 21, the first fixing member 61 and the second fixing member 62 face each other in the front-rear direction and are fixed to each other by fasteners 63. Fixing the front door trim panel 1 to the front wall 21 using the fixing component 6 further ensures the stability and reliability of the assembly. Furthermore, with the front door trim panel 1 positioned on the front wall 21, the first fixing member 61 and the second fixing member 62 facing each other in the front-rear direction facilitates the fasteners 63 in securing the two together.

[0037] More preferably, the aforementioned snap-fit ​​assembly 5 and fixing assembly 6 are respectively disposed on both sides of the aforementioned sliding opening 10 and window 210, with the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 adjacent to the aforementioned connecting assembly 3, and the fixing assembly 6 adjacent to the aforementioned positioning assembly 4. In this way, the connecting assembly 3 and the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 cooperate to securely connect the first side of the front door trim panel 1 to the first side of the front wall 21, while the fixing assembly 6 and the positioning assembly 4 cooperate to securely position and fix the second side of the front door trim panel 1 to the second side of the front wall 21, which helps to better ensure the stability of the assembly between the front door trim panel 1 and the front wall 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are four connecting assemblies 3 spaced apart along the height direction of the front door trim panel 1 and the front wall 21, three snap-fit ​​assemblies 5 spaced apart along the height direction of both, and four positioning assemblies 4 spaced apart along the height direction of both. Furthermore, there are two fixing assemblies 6, one disposed at the upper end of both, and the other disposed in the middle along the height direction of both, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the aforementioned front door trim panel 1 includes a main board 11 and a trim panel 12 detachably covering the front of the main board 11. The aforementioned sliding opening 10 sequentially penetrates the main board 11 and the trim panel 12, and the main board 11 has through holes 111 extending laterally. Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the first latching member 51 is a latching strip disposed in the through hole 111. The latching strip extends in the left-right direction, and one end is fixed to the edge of the through hole 111, while the other end has a latching block 511 protruding from it. The latching block 511 protrudes from the back of the front door trim panel 1. The second latching member 52 is a latching opening opened on the front wall 21. The latching strip has a certain elasticity. When the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 in the connector assembly 3 are connected, the latching strip deforms due to the latching block abutting against the front wall 21, so that the latching block has a tendency to move backward. When the front door trim panel 1 is positioned on the front wall 21, the latching strip releases its elastic force, causing the latching block to engage in the latching opening and abut against the edge of the hole on the corresponding side of the latching opening in the left-right direction. In this way, during the process of inserting the first connector 31 and the second connector 32, the buckle strip deforms and accumulates potential energy. When the insertion is in place, the buckle strip releases its potential energy and snaps into the buckle opening because the buckle strip and the buckle opening are aligned front to back. This not only facilitates the snapping of the first buckle 51 and the second buckle 52, but also helps to ensure that the two are firmly snapped together.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the first fixing member 61 is a fixing post protruding along the front-rear direction on the back of the front door trim panel 1. This fixing post has a through fixing hole 610. The second fixing member 62 is a fixing groove formed by the rearward indentation of the front wall 21. A fixing hole 620 is provided on the rear wall of this fixing groove. With the front door trim panel 1 positioned on the front wall 21, the fixing post is inserted into the fixing groove, and the fixing hole 610 and fixing hole 620 are aligned front-rear. Fasteners 63 pass through the fixing holes 620 and 610 sequentially from back to front to fix the front door trim panel 1 to the front wall 21. Thus, the first fixing member 61 and the second fixing member 62 are used for positioning, and the fasteners 63 accurately fix the front door trim panel 1 to the front wall 21 from back to front.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, the first connector 31 is a connector block protruding from the back of the front door decorative panel 1. This connector block extends in the front-rear direction and then bends in the left-right direction. One side of the front wall 21 is fixed to the side wall 22 of the housing frame 2. This side wall 22 is vertically arranged in the left-right direction. The second connector 32 is a connector hole opened at the corner of the front wall 21 and the side wall 22. Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown. With the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 connected, the bent portion of the first connector 31 is engaged with the second connector 32, while the lateral extensions of the first connector 31 abut against the back of the front wall 21. Figure 7 As shown. The above design allows the first connector 31 to be securely inserted into the second connector, facilitating a stable connection between the first side of the front door trim panel 1 and the first side of the front wall 21. Preferably, the inner surface of the first connector 31 is provided with a reinforcing rib 311 extending along its own length direction, such as... Figure 8 As shown. On the one hand, it can make the structure of the first connector 31 more robust, and on the other hand, it can further enhance the stability of the connection between the first connector 31 and the second connector 32.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first positioning member 41 is a positioning piece protruding from the back of the front door decorative panel 1, which is vertically arranged in the front-rear direction. The second positioning member 42 is a positioning groove formed by an inward recess on the corresponding side of the front of the front wall 21, which is used to engage the positioning piece. Thus, when the second side of the front door decorative panel 1 is pressed backward, the first positioning member 41 can be engaged in the second positioning member 42, thereby achieving positioning of the second side of the front door decorative panel 1 and the second side of the front wall 21.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 8 As shown, mounting pieces 121 are provided at intervals along the height direction on the left and right sides of the decorative panel 12. Each mounting piece 121 extends vertically along the front-back direction and has a mounting hole 1210. The right side of the main board 11 has a protrusion 112, which is vertically arranged along the front-back direction and is spaced at intervals along the height direction of the main board 11, corresponding one-to-one with the mounting pieces 121. Each protrusion 112 has a latching protrusion 1121. Meanwhile, the left side of the main board 11 has recessed slots 113 at intervals along the height direction, corresponding one-to-one with the mounting pieces 121 on the left side of the decorative panel 12. Each slot 113 has a latching protrusion 1121 protruding from it. When the decorative panel 12 is connected to the main board 11, the snap-fit ​​protrusions 1121 on each protrusion 112 are respectively snapped into the mounting holes 1210 of the corresponding mounting pieces 121 on the right side of the decorative panel 12 to form the aforementioned first positioning member 41. At the same time, each mounting piece 121 on the left side of the decorative panel 12 is inserted into the corresponding slot 113, and the mounting holes 1210 on each mounting piece 121 are snapped into the snap-fit ​​protrusions 1121 in the corresponding slot 113.
