[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a water purification device 200, which includes an integrated filter cartridge mounting housing 100. The mounting housing 100 is used to install filter cartridges and various water purification functional components. Specifically, the mounting housing 100 is provided with a filter cartridge mounting position 110 for installing filter cartridges, a first interface module 120 located on the outer side, an internal water circuit module 130 located between the filter cartridge mounting position 110 and the first interface module 120, and a second interface module 140 communicating with the internal water circuit module 130 and the filter cartridge mounting position 110. The first interface module 120 is located on the outer side of the mounting housing 100 and protrudes from the outside of the water purification device 200. The first interface module 120 is used to connect to an external water circuit, and the second interface module 140 is used to connect to the water purification functional components. The water purification functional components include, but are not limited to, external water pipes, flow meters, solenoid valves, pressure switches, proportional valves, etc. This utility model does not make specific limitations. In practical applications, the first interface module 120 can connect to the external water circuit of the water purification device 200 to achieve... With the same quality of water input and output, the built-in water circuit module 130 can connect the first interface module 120 and the filter element mounting position 110. The filter element mounting position 110 can install the filter element. The second interface module 140 can connect different water purification functional components to connect the filter element and the built-in water circuit module 130, thereby forming the filtration system of the water purification device 200. By integrating the filter element mounting position 110, the first interface module 120, the built-in water circuit module 130 and the second interface module 140 in the mounting housing 100, the internal layout and assembly of the water purification device 200 can be simplified and organized, making the filter element and various water purification functional components installed in an orderly manner and easy to disassemble and assemble, which helps to reduce the difficulty of later maintenance of the water purification device 200. In addition, the first interface module 120, the built-in water circuit module 130, the filter element mounting position 110 and the second interface module 140 in the mounting housing 100 adopt a modular design, which can reduce the production and assembly difficulty of the water purification device 200, and facilitate manufacturers or users to flexibly adjust the filtration system according to actual needs.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, there are several filter element mounting positions 110, and each filter element mounting position 110 is arranged along a first direction relative to the mounting housing 100. The filter element assembly direction in each filter element mounting position 110 is perpendicular to the first direction. Optionally, the first direction is set as the length direction of the mounting housing 100. The arrangement of several filter element mounting positions 110 along the first direction allows the mounting housing 100 to install multiple different types of filter elements in an orderly manner, achieving multi-stage filtration. It also reduces the width dimension of the mounting housing 100, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the mounting housing 100 and thus reducing the volume of the water purification equipment 200. Furthermore, the filter element assembly direction in the filter element mounting position 110 is perpendicular to the first direction. The filter element assembly direction can be set as the height direction of the mounting housing 100, so that the filter element can be directly installed in the filter element mounting position 110 from top to bottom, which is beneficial to simplify the disassembly and replacement of the filter element.

[0031] In other alternative embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, each of the filter element mounting positions 110 has an assembly structure 111 at its top. The inner cavity 112 of the filter element mounting position 110 extends into the inner side of the assembly structure 111. The assembly structure 111 is used to connect the filter element end cap. In practical applications, after the filter element is installed in the filter element mounting position 110, it can be directly connected to the assembly structure 111 through the filter element end cap to fix the filter element. This simplifies the disassembly and assembly of the filter element and improves the connection stability of the filter element. Furthermore, the mounting housing 100 can directly utilize the filter element mounting position 110 as a filter bottle, filter cartridge, or other structure, further simplifying the disassembly and replacement of the filter element and reducing the weight of the water purification equipment 200. Optionally, the assembly structure 111 can be configured as a threaded assembly structure 111, an L-shaped groove screw-on assembly structure 111, or other assembly structures 111 that are connected to the filter element end cap. This utility model does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0032] In other alternative embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mounting housing 100 is also provided with a support bracket 150 located on the lower side of each of the assembly structures 111. The support bracket 150 is disposed outside the plurality of filter element mounting positions 110, which helps to increase the structural strength of the mounting housing 100, thereby improving the connection stability of the mounting housing 100 in the water purification equipment 200. In addition, the support bracket 150 can support the filter element end cap, further improving the connection stability between the filter element end cap and the filter element.

[0033] Furthermore, to further reduce the assembly difficulty of the mounting housing 100, the support frame 150 is provided with a mounting part 151. The mounting part 151 is used to connect the outer shell of the water purification equipment 200. The mounting part 151 can be configured as a bayonet or other structure, which helps to further reduce the assembly difficulty of the mounting housing 100, thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the mounting housing 100 in the water purification equipment 200; further optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are several mounting parts 151. Each mounting part 151 is distributed at intervals on both sides of the support frame 150 relative to the mounting housing 100 along the first direction. Each mounting part 151 is arranged close to the edge of the support frame 150, so that the mounting housing 100 can be subjected to uniform force during installation, which is beneficial to improving the connection stability of the mounting housing 100.

[0034] Furthermore, to facilitate manual disassembly and assembly of the mounting housing 100 by assemblers or users, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 150 is also provided with a notch 152. The notch 152 passes through the support frame 150 along the height direction of the mounting housing 100, and extends inward from the outer edge of the support frame 150 along the width direction of the mounting housing 100. The notch 152 can accommodate at least one finger, providing a force point for disassembly for assemblers or users, so as to facilitate the disassembly and movement of the mounting housing 100 as a whole. Further, optionally, there are several notches 152, and each notch 152 is distributed at intervals on both sides of the support frame 150 relative to the mounting housing 100 along the first direction, which is beneficial for assemblers or users to move the mounting housing 100 stably through each notch 152. In addition, at least one notch 152 may be provided between two adjacent mounting parts 151.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the first interface module 120 includes a plurality of first interfaces 121 disposed outside the mounting housing 100, and the built-in water circuit module 130 includes a plurality of flow channels 131. Each of the first interfaces 121 is connected to a corresponding flow channel 131. In this embodiment, the plurality of first interfaces 121 may be configured as at least a raw water inlet, a pure water outlet, a concentrated water outlet, and a purified water outlet, and the plurality of flow channels 131 may be configured as at least a raw water flow channel connected to the raw water inlet, a pure water flow channel connected to the pure water outlet, a concentrated water flow channel connected to the concentrated water outlet, and a purified water flow channel connected to the purified water outlet, so as to realize the connection between the mounting housing 100 and the external water circuit. This allows for the input and output of water of different qualities. In practical applications, tap water or other raw water can be input into the filtration system of the water purification device 200 through the raw water inlet and raw water flow channel. The raw water flows through the raw water flow channel to the filter element installation position 110 and is filtered by one or more filter elements to form purified water, pure water, and concentrated water. The purified water, pure water, and concentrated water are output to the outside of the water purification device 200 through their respective flow channels 131. In addition, in the mounting housing 100, different water purification functional components are connected through the second interface module 140 to connect the water path between the filter element and the built-in water path module 130 and the first interface module 120, thereby constructing the filtration system of the water purification device 200.

[0036] In other alternative embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, each of the first interfaces 121 and each of the flow channels 131 are arranged and distributed relative to the mounting housing 100 along a second direction, and each of the flow channels 131 extends relative to the mounting housing 100 along a third direction, which is perpendicular to the second direction. By arranging each of the first interfaces 121 relative to the mounting housing 100 along the second direction, and by placing each of the first interfaces 121 on the outer surface of the mounting housing 100 and exposing it to the outside of the water purification device 200, it is convenient for users to connect multiple water circuits centrally, reducing the installation difficulty of the water purification device 200. Furthermore, the flow channels 131 are arranged one-to-one with each of the first interfaces 121, which helps simplify the internal water circuit of the mounting housing 100, thereby improving water delivery efficiency. Optionally, the second direction can be set as the width direction or the height direction of the mounting housing 100. Each of the flow channels 131 is configured to correspond one-to-one with each of the first interfaces 121. The third direction can be set to the length direction of the mounting housing 100, that is, the third direction can be consistent with the first direction, so that the first interface module 120 and the built-in water circuit module 130 directly form a connectable water circuit layout in the three-dimensional direction of the mounting housing 100, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the mounting housing 100, thereby reducing the volume of the water purification equipment 200. Moreover, each of the flow channels 131 extends from the first interface module 120 toward the filter element mounting position 110, which is beneficial to shorten the built-in water circuit path of the mounting housing 100 and further improve the water delivery efficiency of the mounting housing 100. On the other hand, the filter element mounting position 110 closest to the built-in water circuit module 130 can be used to install a reverse osmosis filter element, which is beneficial to improve the output efficiency of pure water and concentrated water.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the second interface module 140 includes multiple second interfaces 141, which are respectively located outside the filter element mounting position 110 and outside the built-in water circuit module 130. In practical applications, the multiple second interfaces 141 can be used to connect different water purification functional components to facilitate the construction of the filtration system of the water purification device 200. Specifically, some of the second interfaces 141 can be connected to the outside of each filter element mounting position 110 and directly communicate with the inner cavity 112 of the filter element mounting position 110, while other second interfaces 141 can be connected to... The built-in water circuit module 130 is external and directly connected to the flow channel 131. These second interfaces 141 located at different positions can be connected to each other through external water pipes, solenoid valves and other water purification functional components. Further optionally, several second interfaces 141 are provided on opposite sides of the mounting housing 100 to organize and simplify the installation of water purification functional components, thereby improving water delivery efficiency. On the other hand, the mounting housing 100 can be provided with reserved second interfaces 141 on opposite sides, which is beneficial to improve the assembly flexibility of the mounting housing 100, thereby facilitating the modification of the filtration system.

[0038] In other alternative embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the mounting housing 100 also includes a base plate 160 and a pump mounting position 170 located on the upper part of the base plate 160. The filter element mounting position 110 and the built-in water circuit module 130 are respectively located on both sides of the pump mounting position 170. The pump mounting position 170 also has a first assembly port 171 and a second assembly port 172 communicating on both sides. In this embodiment, the base plate 160 can be installed inside the water purification device 200, or the base plate 160 can directly serve as the base plate 160 of the water purification device 200, which helps to simplify the assembly of the water purification device 200. The pump mounting position 170 is used for installation. A water pump 300 is installed, with the first assembly port 171 and the second assembly port 172 respectively located on opposite sides of the pump mounting position 170, and one assembly port being larger than the other. For example, the first assembly port 171 is larger than the second assembly port 172. In practical applications, the water pump 300 can be installed in the pump mounting position 170 through the first assembly port 171. Both the first assembly port 171 and the second assembly port 172 can be used to make way for the assembly of water purification functional components, further reducing the assembly difficulty of the water purification equipment 200 filtration system and improving the connection flexibility of the water purification functional components.

[0039] Optionally, the first interface module 120 and the built-in water circuit module 130 are located on one side of the pump mounting position 170 and connected to the base plate 160. Each of the filter element mounting positions 110 is located on the upper side of the pump mounting position 170. Since the water pump 300 is heavy, setting the pump mounting position 170 close to the bottom of the mounting housing 100 is beneficial to improving the assembly stability of the mounting housing 100.

[0040] In other alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base plate 160 is also provided with a connecting part 161 for connecting the outer shell of the water purification device 200. There are several connecting parts 161, each of which is provided on opposite sides of the base plate 160 and is distributed at intervals along the length of the base plate 160. This facilitates the direct installation of the outer shell of the water purification device 200 on the base plate 160, that is, using the base plate 160 as the bottom of the water purification device 200, which helps to simplify the structure of the water purification device 200 and further simplify the assembly of the water purification device 200.

[0041] In other alternative embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting housing 100 also has a power interface module 180 located on its outer side. The power interface module 180 is located on one side of the first interface module 120. The power interface module 180 is located on the outer side of the mounting housing 100 and can be exposed outside the water purification device 200, which is convenient for users to operate the switch and connect the power supply. Further optionally, the power interface module 180 is located on the upper side of the first interface module 120. By raising the power interface module 180, the convenience of the power interface module 180 is improved, and water leakage from the first interface module 120 to the power interface module 180 can be effectively prevented, thereby protecting the power interface module 180.

[0042] In other alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting housing 100 is further provided with a first reinforcing part 191 on one side of the filter element mounting position 110 and the pump mounting position 170, a second reinforcing part 192 on the upper side of the first interface module 120, and a third reinforcing part 193 on both sides of the built-in water circuit module 130. The first reinforcing part 191 is connected to the base plate 160 and the support frame 150, the second reinforcing part 192 is connected to the support frame 150 and the first interface module 120, and the third reinforcing part 193 is connected to the built-in water circuit module 130 and the base plate 160. By setting the first reinforcing part 191, the second reinforcing part 192 and the third reinforcing part 193, it is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the mounting housing 100 and enhance the assembly stability of the water purification equipment 200 filtration system.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the mounting housing 100 is configured as an integrally molded structure, which helps to further enhance the structural strength of the mounting housing 100, improve the assembly stability of the water purification equipment 200 filtration system, and extend its service life.
