AI Technical Summary
The efficiency of filter cartridge installation and removal in existing water purification equipment is low, mainly because the filter cartridge and water tank are connected by threads, requiring precise alignment and multiple rotations to complete the installation or removal, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The filter cartridge employs a sliding fit structure with positioning protrusions and positioning channels. By setting connecting protrusions with positioning channels and inlet/outlet channels on the water tank and filter cartridge, as well as connecting protrusions with positioning protrusions, the filter cartridge can be locked and unlocked with a single rotation, simplifying the disassembly and assembly process.
It improves the efficiency of filter element installation and removal, ensures a stable connection between the filter element and the water tank, simplifies the installation and disassembly process, and enhances the overall volume utilization and ease of operation of the equipment.

Abstract
Claims
1. Water production plant, characterized in that, include: A water tank, the water tank having a cavity, a purified water inlet channel and a first connecting protrusion, the cavity being used to hold water to be filtered, the purified water inlet channel being connected to the cavity, the first connecting protrusion being arranged around the purified water inlet channel, the first connecting protrusion having a positioning channel and an inlet / outlet channel, the inlet / outlet channel being connected to the positioning channel; as well as A filter element is located within the cavity. The filter element has a water inlet to be filtered, a purified water outlet channel, and a second connecting protrusion. The water inlet to be filtered communicates with the cavity, and the purified water outlet channel communicates with the purified water inlet channel. The second connecting protrusion is arranged around the purified water outlet channel and is movably inserted into the first connecting protrusion. The second connecting protrusion has a positioning protrusion that enters and exits the positioning channel through the inlet / outlet channel. The positioning protrusion has a first state and a second state, and can switch between the first state and the second state as the filter element rotates. The first state is that the positioning protrusion engages with the positioning channel to confine the second connecting protrusion within the first connecting protrusion; The second state is that the positioning protrusion is located on the inlet / outlet channel, so that the second connecting protrusion can detach from the first connecting protrusion.
2. The water producing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein The positioning channel extends circumferentially along the first connecting protrusion, and the inlet / outlet channel extends axially along the first connecting protrusion. The first connecting protrusion also has a guide channel located between the positioning channel and the inlet / outlet channel, the guide channel connecting the positioning channel and the inlet / outlet channel, and the guide channel inclined downward toward the positioning channel.
3. The water producing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein There are at least two positioning channels and at least two entry / exit channels. The at least two positioning channels are arranged at intervals around the axial center line of the first connecting protrusion, and the entry / exit channels are connected to the corresponding positioning channels. There are at least two positioning protrusions. The at least two positioning protrusions are arranged at intervals around the axial center line of the second connecting protrusion, and the positioning protrusions cooperate with the corresponding positioning channels.
4. The water producing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein A sealing component is provided on the inner wall of the first connecting protrusion and the outer wall of the second connecting protrusion. The sealing component is sandwiched between the inner wall of the first connecting protrusion and the outer wall of the second connecting protrusion, and the sealing component is arranged around the purified water outlet channel.
5. The water producing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein The outer wall of the second connecting protrusion has a mounting groove, which surrounds the purified water outlet channel. The inner end of the sealing member is adapted to the mounting groove, and the outer end of the sealing member extends outside the mounting groove and abuts against the inner wall of the first connecting protrusion.
6. The water producing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein The filter element is provided with a water inlet end, which is arranged around the second connecting protrusion, and the water inlet to be filtered is located on the water inlet end; The end of the first connecting protrusion is provided with at least two supporting protrusions, which are arranged around the first connecting protrusion at intervals. At least two supporting protrusions abut against the water inlet end, and a water inlet channel is formed between the end of the first connecting protrusion and the water inlet end, which connects the cavity and the water to be filtered inlet.
7. The water producing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein The water purification equipment also includes: The body, wherein the water tank is mounted on the body; A water pump, which is mounted on the machine body, has its inlet connected to the purified water inlet channel; A water outlet is provided on the machine body and is connected to the outlet of the water pump.
8. The water producing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein The water tank is detachably connected to the machine body.
