Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water purifier technology, and more specifically, to a line conversion system and a water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the continuous changes in user needs and the continuous improvement of product performance, the functions that need to be implemented or equipped in water purifiers are also increasing accordingly, and therefore the number of electrical components used in water purifiers is also constantly increasing.

[0003] However, in practical applications, it has been found that, considering factors such as optimizing the internal space layout of water purifiers and user habits, the main control board and various electrical components of water purifiers are not concentrated in one location. Sometimes, they are even distributed near two opposite sides of the water purifier, with a relatively large distance between them. Therefore, to connect the various electrical components to the main control board, it is often necessary to reserve long wires. At the same time, the wires need to bypass the complex internal structure of the water purifier before connecting to the main control board, making the installation operation more complicated and troublesome. Moreover, the increasing number of electrical components will make the internal wiring of the water purifier messy, which will affect subsequent maintenance work and may also affect the connection status of the wires and the normal use of the electrical components.

[0018] In this application, the wires of the electrical components on the water storage tank can be connected to the adapter plate, thereby facilitating the conductive connection of the electrical components on the water storage tank and the wire management operation.

[0019] In some embodiments, the water tank includes a tank cover, and the wiring box is disposed on the tank cover.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention; the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. Similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following figures; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0036] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only for distinguishing descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or requiring or implying any actual relationship or order between entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a line switching system, including: A plurality of electrical components 1, wherein each of the plurality of electrical components 1 is provided with an electrical component terminal 11; The adapter assembly includes an adapter plate 2 and an integrated wiring harness 3. The adapter plate 2 is provided with a plurality of first mating connectors 21 and second mating connectors 22. The plurality of first mating connectors 21 and second mating connectors 22 are electrically connected through lines etched on the adapter plate 2. The electrical component terminal 11 is connected to the first mating connector 21. One end of the integrated wiring harness 3 is provided with a first wiring harness terminal 31, which is connected to the second mating connector 22. The main control board 4 is provided with a main control board terminal 41, and the other end of the integrated wire harness 3 is provided with a second wire harness terminal 32, which is connected to the main control board terminal 41.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electrical component 1 can be configured as a solenoid valve, sensor, water pump, or other application forms. The electrical component 1 can be configured in multiple different types, such as temperature sensors, water level sensors, and solenoid valves. Furthermore, the number of the same type of electrical component 1 can also be multiple. For example, depending on the location of action, taking the application of the line adapter system in the water purifier 5 as an example, one or more temperature sensors can be installed on the water storage tank 51 of the water purifier 5, or one or more temperature sensors can be installed on the heating tank 52 of the water purifier 5.

[0039] There are no restrictions here on the specific types of applications of the electrical device 1 or the number of applications of each type.

[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4As shown, the number of first mating connectors 21 corresponds to the number of electrical component terminals 11. The specifications, dimensions, and models of each of the plurality of first mating connectors 21 can be different, thereby enabling each first mating connector 21 to form a dedicated mating application with its corresponding electrical component terminal 11.

[0041] The adapter plate 2 facilitates the independent installation of the plurality of first mating connectors 21 on the adapter plate 2. By placing the adapter plate 2 near the plurality of electrical components 1, the connection of the electrical component terminals 11 can be achieved through convenient, centralized plug-in operation, eliminating the need for long wires between the electrical components 1 and their terminals 11. The integrated wire harness 3 enables the plug-in connection between the second mating connector 22 and the main control board 4, thus achieving conductive communication between the plurality of electrical components 1 and the main control board 4, facilitating the main control board 4's control over the operation of the plurality of electrical components 1. In this application scheme, the original method of winding the wires of several electrical components 1 can be changed to winding only a single integrated wire harness 3, making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0042] As one application example, the outer periphery of the integrated wire harness 3 is covered with a protective layer.

[0043] In some embodiments, the number of the first wire harness terminals 31 is adapted to the number of the second mating connectors 22, and the number of the second wire harness terminals 32 is adapted to the number of the main control board wiring terminals 41.

[0044] In some embodiments, the integrated wire harness 3 has only one first wire harness terminal 31 and one second wire harness terminal 32 at each end, and the protective layer is wrapped around the outer periphery of the integrated wire harness 3 to form a single wire harness.

[0045] In some embodiments, one end of the integrated wire harness 3 may be provided with one or more first wire harness terminals 31, and the other end may be provided with one or more second wire harness terminals 32. The protective layer is wrapped around the outer periphery of the integrated wire harness 3 to form a single wire harness. In this application form, different types of first mating connectors 21 can be integrated according to actual application requirements to form one or more second mating connectors 22 and the main control board wiring terminals 41. Electrical conduction is then achieved by plugging in the corresponding first wire harness terminals 31 and second wire harness terminals 32.

[0046] In some embodiments, the protective layer is made of an insulating material.

[0047] The protective layer can better constrain the integrated wire harness 3 into a single wire harness, thereby facilitating the subsequent winding operation of the integrated wire harness 3 and improving the protective performance of the integrated wire harness 3, such as toughness and wear resistance.

[0048] On the other hand, continue to refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment also provides a water purifier 5, in which a line conversion system as described above is provided.

[0049] In some embodiments, the specific structural form of the water purifier 5 can be found in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] By applying the wiring conversion system provided in this embodiment within the water purifier 5, the layout of the wires within the water purifier 5 can be effectively simplified, making the winding of the wires within the water purifier 5 simpler, more orderly, and more convenient to operate.

[0051] As one application example, see reference Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the water purifier 5 is provided with a cable box 6, which includes a box body 61 and a box cover 62 movably disposed on the box body 61. The adapter plate 2 is disposed inside the housing 61.

[0052] In some embodiments, the adapter plate 2 is fixedly installed inside the housing 61 by fasteners such as bolts.

[0053] In some embodiments, the adapter plate 2 is snapped into and fixed inside the housing 61 by a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0054] The cable box 6 can be used to install the adapter board 2, thereby improving the stability of the adapter board 2 in actual applications and preventing accidental contact from affecting its application.

[0055] As one application example, the lid 62 and the body 61 are snap-fitted together; Alternatively, one end of the lid 62 is hinged to the box body 61, and the other end of the lid 62 is detachably connected to the box body 61.

[0056] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, both the box body 61 and the box cover 62 are rectangular, and the shape of the adapter plate 2 is adapted to the shape of the box body 61.

[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of latching protrusions 621 are provided on the outer peripheral edge of the box cover 62, and a plurality of latching grooves 611 are provided on the inner side wall of the box body 61 corresponding to the latching protrusions 621. Thus, the detachable connection of the box cover 62 to the box body 61 is achieved through the latching connection between the latching protrusions 621 and the latching grooves 611.

[0058] In some embodiments, one side of the lid 62 is hinged to the opening edge of the box body 61, and the other side of the lid 62 can be installed on the box body 61 by means of snap-fit ​​or bolt connection, thereby facilitating the swinging application of the lid 62 on the box body 61 and preventing the lid 62 from accidentally falling off during installation.

[0059] By designing the connection method between the cover 62 and the body 61, the efficiency of operators in performing related wiring operations can be improved.

[0060] As one application example, see reference Figure 6 As shown, the side wall of the box 61 is provided with a plurality of reserved slots 612 for wires to pass through, and a sealing element is provided between the wire and the reserved slot 612.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the box body 61 are respectively provided with the reserved slots 612, one of the reserved slots 612 is provided facing the water storage tank 51 of the water purifier 5, and the other reserved slot 612 is provided facing the hot tank 52 of the water purifier 5, thereby further facilitating the wire and the lead wire operation of the integrated wire harness 3.

[0062] In some embodiments, the seal is configured as a silicone block.

[0063] The sealing element can seal the gap between the wire and the housing 61, thereby preventing external objects from entering the interior of the housing 61 through the gap and improving the safety protection performance of the wire assembly box 6.

[0064] As one application example, see reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water purifier 5 includes a water storage tank 51, and some of the electrical components 1 are mounted on the water storage tank 51.

[0065] In some embodiments, the specific structural form of the water storage tank 51 and the specific structural form of the electrical device 1 applied to the water storage tank 51 can be found in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] In the above application scheme, the wires of the electrical components 1 on the water storage tank 51 can be connected to the adapter board 2, and then the electrical components 1 on the water storage tank 51 and the main control board 4 can be connected through the integrated wire harness 3, thereby realizing the conductive connection between the electrical components 1 on the water storage tank 51 and the main control board 4. The wire management operation in the entire connection process can be simpler and more convenient.

[0067] As one application example, see reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the water storage tank 51 includes a water tank cover 511, and the wire assembly box 6 is disposed on the water tank cover 511.

[0068] In some embodiments, the box body 61 and the water tank cover 511 are integrally formed, for example, by injection molding, machining or 3D printing.

[0069] In some embodiments, the housing 61 is disposed on the water tank cover 511 and is located near the hot tank 52 of the water purifier 5.

[0070] By placing the wire assembly box 6 on the water tank cover 511, the structural strength of the water tank cover 511 can be improved, and the wiring distance of the wires can be effectively shortened.

[0071] As one application example, see reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water purifier 5 includes a heating tank 52, and some of the electrical components 1 are disposed on the heating tank 52.

[0072] In some embodiments, the specific structural form of the hot tank 52 and the specific structural form of the electrical device 1 applied to the hot tank 52 can be found in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0073] In the above application scheme, the wires of the electrical components 1 on the hot tank 52 can be connected to the adapter board 2, and then the electrical components 1 on the hot tank 52 can be connected to the main control board 4 through the integrated wire harness 3, thereby realizing the conductive connection between the electrical components 1 on the hot tank 52 and the main control board 4. The wire management operation in the entire connection process can be simpler and more convenient.

[0074] As one application example, the water purifier 5 includes a device housing, and the wiring box 6 is disposed on the device housing.

[0075] In some embodiments, the box body 61 and the device housing are integrally formed, for example, by casting, machining or 3D printing.

[0076] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, the device housing includes a housing frame 521 for assisting in positioning the hot tank 52 of the water purifier 5, and the box body 61 is disposed on the housing frame 521.

[0077] By placing the wiring box 6 on the device housing, more wiring layout options are available. For example, the wires of the electrical components 1 on the water tank 51 and the heating tank 52 can be first connected to the adapter plate 2, then the integrated wiring harness 3 can be attached to the wall of the device housing and finally connected to the main control board 4. In this application, the integrated wiring harness 3 does not need to be wound inside the water purifier 5, providing better independence. As another example, when the heating tank 52 is located in the space between the water tank 51 and the main control board 4, placing the wiring box 6 on the housing frame 521 not only facilitates the internal wiring layout of the water purifier 5 but also allows for better load-bearing capacity utilization within the internal frame structure of the water purifier 5, thereby improving the space utilization rate within the water purifier 5.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
