Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purification equipment technology, and in particular to a multifunctional water purifier and a functional water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology, multi-functional water purifiers have gradually become essential household appliances. Existing multi-functional water purifiers can provide users with purified drinking water. To meet diverse user needs, the market offers various types of machines with purification and additional functions, such as tea purifiers, tea brewing purifiers, ice water purifiers, and coffee purifiers.

[0003] Currently, a situation may arise where users purchase multi-functional water purifiers without additional water purification functions.

[0004] After purchasing a water purifier or a multi-functional water purifier with a single expansion function, if users want to use the purified water for other functions (such as brewing tea), they need to manually add the purified water from the multi-functional water purifier to the corresponding brewing machine (such as a tea brewing machine), or they need to purchase another water purifier with expansion functions (such as a tea brewing water purifier). This results in users spending more money and providing multiple installation spaces. Utility Model Content

[0120] The following describes an embodiment of the multifunctional water purifier of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0121] Reference Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this embodiment discloses a multifunctional water purifier 100, including a main unit 110, an expansion module 120, and an adapter module 160. The main unit 110 includes a water filter cartridge and a water outlet 1110, wherein the water filter cartridge is used to purify the input water source, and then the water flows out through the water outlet 1110 for drinking. The expansion module 120 is provided with a coupler 1210 and a stop valve 1211, and the expansion module 120 can selectively cooperate with a detachable functional water purifier 130.

[0122] The adapter module 160 is equipped with a circuit adapter coupling component 1610 and a water circuit adapter channel 1611. This adapter module 160 serves as a connecting bridge, allowing the expansion function module 120 to selectively cooperate with a detachable functional water purifier 130 via the adapter module 160. Notably, both the expansion function module 120 and the functional water purifier 130 can be detachably coupled to the adapter module 160. The adapter module 160's detachable structure means that during prolonged insertion and removal, contact points may fail. In such cases, simply replacing the adapter module 160 is usually sufficient. Furthermore, the adapter module 160 can be made with a universal structure, eliminating the need for after-sales service and making replacement more convenient. Additionally, the detachable structure of the adapter module 160 allows the installation body to be either a water purifier unit or a functional water purifier, offering greater flexibility in installation options. It is worth noting that, in one embodiment, the number of adapter modules 160 and the number of expansion function modules 120 are set in a one-to-one correspondence. By increasing the number of both accordingly, the water purifier host 110 can be connected to multiple functional water purifiers 130.

[0123] The multi-functional water purifier 100 has at least two operating modes, specifically a multi-functional operating mode and a standalone operating mode. In multi-functional operating mode, the water purifier 130 is installed on the adapter module 160. The main unit 110 supplies power and liquid to the water purifier 130 via the coupler 1210 and stop valve 1211 on the expansion module 120, and the circuit adapter coupler 1610 and water circuit adapter channel 1611 on the adapter module 160. The main unit 110 and the water purifier 130 work together, allowing the water purifier 130 to use water purified by the main unit 110. In standalone operating mode, the water purifier 130 is not installed on the expansion module 120. The water purifier operates independently, purifying the input water source through the aforementioned water filter cartridge and providing purified water for drinking through the outlet 1110.

[0124] With the above setup, users can first meet their need for direct drinking purified water through the water purifier main unit 110; secondly, by connecting the functional water purifier 130 through the expansion function unit, water and liquid can be directly supplied to the functional water purifier 130 based on the water purifier main unit 110, saving some of the structure of the functional water purifier 130. Furthermore, through the additional adapter module 160, which can be made into a universal structure, there is no need to wait for after-sales maintenance time, and the detachable structure makes the replacement process more convenient. It is also worth noting that the use of the detachable structure of the adapter module 160 allows the installation body to be either the water purifier main unit 110 or the functional water purifier 130. That is, the adapter module 160 can be connected to the water purifier main unit 110 first, or it can be connected to the functional water purifier 130 first, and then the three can be connected at the end. The installation method is not limited to one of them, providing more flexible installation options for users. The installation method is more selective, the integration effect is better, and the cost is lower. The functional water purifier 130 can be a chiller, tea maker, tea brewer, ice cube machine, ice water and ice cube machine, or coffee machine. Of course, it can be one or more of these, and can be selectively matched according to actual needs to optimize functions.

[0125] Specifically, coupler 1210 includes at least one of a host power supply terminal, a host detection terminal, and a host signal terminal. The host power supply terminal provides power to the functional water dispenser 130; the host detection terminal determines whether the functional water dispenser 130 is connected; and the host signal terminal sends information to and / or receives information from the functional water dispenser 130. Circuit coupling 1610 includes at least one of a circuit coupling power supply terminal, a circuit coupling detection terminal, and a circuit coupling signal terminal. The circuit coupling power supply terminal is electrically connected to the host power supply terminal to provide power to the functional water dispenser 130; the circuit coupling detection terminal is electrically connected to the host detection terminal to determine whether the functional water dispenser 130 is connected; and the circuit coupling signal terminal is electrically connected to the host signal terminal to send information to and / or receive information from the functional water dispenser 130. In practical applications, different types and numbers of terminals are used depending on product requirements. For example, to facilitate user installation, coupler 1210 includes a host power supply terminal, thus eliminating the need for an additional socket for the functional water dispenser in the installation scenario. For example, to save costs and facilitate user operation through the same interface, coupler 1210 includes a host signal terminal.

[0126] Specifically, the stop valve 1211 is used to close in stand-alone mode to prevent liquid from flowing out of the water purifier main unit 110, and to open in multi-function mode to supply liquid to the functional water purifier 130.

[0127] See Figures 3 to 6The expansion function module 120 can be retractably installed on the water purifier main unit 110. It is known that the multi-functional water purifier 100 includes the water purifier main unit 110, and the expansion function module 120 can be retractably installed on the water purifier main unit 110 of the multi-functional water purifier 100.

[0128] See also Figure 3 When the multi-functional water purifier 100 is in stand-alone working mode and the expansion function module 120 is in a retracted state, at least the coupler 1210 and the stop valve 1211 in the expansion function module 120 are located inside the main unit 110 of the water purifier. Preferably, the expansion function module 120 is completely retracted inside the main unit 110 of the water purifier, which improves the overall aesthetics; secondly, it can avoid bumps and knocks during transportation and use; and finally, it can prevent dust and water damage.

[0129] See also Figure 4 When the multi-functional water purifier 100 is in multi-functional working mode, at least the coupler 1210 and the stop valve 1211 of the extended function module 120 are located outside the main unit 110 of the water purifier.

[0130] Preferably, the multi-functional water purifier 130 is not installed on the extended function module 120, including any of the following situations, in which case the multi-functional water purifier 100 is in stand-alone working mode.

[0131] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 12 One possible scenario is that the expansion module 120 is disconnected from the adapter module 160, and the adapter module 160 is also disconnected from the water purifier 130. The water purifier 130 is not installed on the expansion module 120, and the main unit 110 operates independently, providing purified water through the water filter cartridge and the water outlet 1110. All of the aforementioned expansion modules 120 are housed within the main unit 110, enhancing the overall aesthetics; secondly, it avoids damage during transport and use; and finally, it provides dust and water protection.

[0132] In another scenario, the expansion module 120 is connected to the adapter module 160, but the water purifier 130 is not installed on the adapter module 160. The water purifier 130 is not activated, and the main water purifier 110 operates independently, providing purified water through the filter cartridge and the water outlet 1110. The expansion module 120 can be entirely housed within the main water purifier 110. However, this state is typically used for replacing the water purifier 130, and the adapter module 160 can connect to the water purifier 130.

[0133] In another scenario, the extended function module 120 is disconnected from the adapter module 160, and the adapter module 160 is connected to the functional water purifier 130. The functional water purifier 130 is not installed on the extended function module 120, and the water purifier main unit 110 works independently, providing purified water through the water filter cartridge and the water outlet 1110.

[0134] Preferably, when the multi-functional water purifier 100 is in multi-functional working mode, at least the circuit conversion coupling 1610 and the water circuit conversion channel 1611 in the adapter module 160 are exposed and installed on the main unit 110 of the water purifier for the installation of the functional water purifier 130. It is worth noting that the coupler 1210 and the stop valve 1211 in the extended function module 120 can be selectively exposed or concealed and installed on the main unit 110 of the water purifier for the installation of the adapter module 160.

[0135] Specifically, the expansion function module 120 is located at the bottom left side of the water purifier main unit 110. The bottom of the expansion function module 120 can abut against the installation platform. After connecting to the functional water purifier 130 through the adapter module 160, it can minimize or even avoid bearing the weight exerted on it by the functional water purifier 130, thereby ensuring that the expansion function module 120 has the characteristics of small positional deformation and high docking accuracy during long-term use.

[0136] Reference Figures 9 to 11 In this embodiment, the expansion function module 120 is disposed on the main unit 110 of the water purifier and faces the functional water purifier 130. Specifically, the expansion function module 120 is disposed on the bottom left side of the main unit 110 of the water purifier. The functional water purifier 130 is inserted into and locked with the coupler 1210 and the stop valve 1211 in the expansion function module 120 from left to right. In this embodiment, it is worth noting that the expansion function module 120 is fixedly disposed on the main unit 110 of the water purifier. The extension direction of the coupler 1210 is parallel to the docking direction of the functional water purifier 130, and the extension direction of the coupler 1210 is parallel to the bottom surface of the main unit 110 of the water purifier. The movement direction of the stop valve 1211 is parallel to the bottom surface, so as to allow for lateral insertion of the functional water purifier 130. Figures 3 to 5 In the embodiment shown, the functional water purifier 130 is connected to the water purifier main unit 110 in the vertical direction. The extension direction of the coupler 1210 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the water purifier main unit 110, and the movement direction of the stop valve 1211 is perpendicular to the bottom surface. In this way, the problem of the functional water purifier 130 moving due to the vibration of the booster pump during the operation of the whole machine can be avoided.

[0137] For the storage of the expansion function module 120, the water purifier main unit 110 in this embodiment is provided with a first receiving cavity 1111. The first receiving cavity 1111 can penetrate the side wall of the water purifier main unit 110, so as to facilitate the switching of the relative position of the expansion function module 120 between the standalone working mode and the multi-functional working mode.

[0138] To facilitate easy switching of the relative position of the expansion function module 120, in this embodiment, a slide rail is provided in the first accommodating cavity 1111, and a slide groove is provided on the expansion function module 120. The slide rail and the slide groove cooperate with each other to allow the expansion function module 120 to be slidably mounted on the water purifier main unit 110. Of course, the installation positions of the slide rail and the slide groove can be replaced, with the main purpose of facilitating installation. Alternatively, a pull-out method using a wedge block and a groove, or a pull-out method using a cylinder to push and retract, can be used, with the main purpose of meeting the characteristics of low cost and small installation space occupation.

[0139] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 The circuit adapter coupling 1610 includes a first sub-circuit adapter coupling 1613 and a second sub-circuit adapter coupling 1615, which are electrically connected. The water channel adapter channel 1611 includes a first sub-water channel adapter channel 1614 and a second sub-water channel adapter channel 1616, which are connected by a channel.

[0140] Preferably, the first sub-circuit adapter 1613 is used to interface with the coupler 1210, and the second sub-circuit adapter 1615 is used to supply power to the functional water dispenser 130 via the coupler 1210 and the first sub-circuit adapter 1613.

[0141] Preferably, the first sub-water circuit transfer channel 1614 is used to connect with the stop valve 1211, and the second sub-water circuit transfer channel 1616 is used to supply liquid to the functional water machine 130 via the stop valve 1211 and the first sub-water circuit transfer channel 1614.

[0142] Preferably, the first sub-waterway transfer channel 1614 and the second sub-waterway transfer channel 1616 are configured as valve elements with valve cores, wherein the valve element is in a closed state when its valve core is not triggered, and in an open state after its valve core is triggered. For example, when the first sub-water circuit transfer channel 1614 is connected to the stop valve 1211 and the second sub-water circuit transfer channel 1616 is not connected to the functional water machine 130, the valve element corresponding to the second sub-water circuit transfer channel 1616 is not subjected to the corresponding opening force and is in a closed state; or, when the first sub-water circuit transfer channel 1614 is not connected to the stop valve 1211 and the second sub-water circuit transfer channel 1616 is connected to the functional water machine 130, the valve element corresponding to the first sub-water circuit transfer channel 1614 is not subjected to the corresponding opening force and is in a closed state; or, when the first sub-water circuit transfer channel 1614 is not connected to the stop valve 1211 and the second sub-water circuit transfer channel 1616 is also not connected to the functional water machine 130, the valve elements corresponding to both the first and second sub-water circuit transfer channels 1614 are not subjected to the corresponding opening force and are both in a closed state. In this way, water can be prevented from flowing out when the device is not installed properly, and a water connection channel can be formed after the device is installed properly.

[0143] Preferably, the extension direction of the coupler 1210, the valve core movement direction of the stop valve 1211, the extension direction of the first sub-circuit adapter 1613, and the valve core movement direction of the first sub-water circuit adapter 1614 are the same; the extension direction of the second sub-circuit adapter 1615 and the valve core movement direction of the second sub-water circuit adapter 1616 are the same. This facilitates the docking of the expansion function module 120 and the adapter module 160.

[0144] Preferably, the extension direction of the coupler 1210, the movement direction of the valve core of the stop valve 1211, the extension direction of the first sub-circuit adapter coupling 1613, and the movement direction of the valve core of the first sub-water circuit adapter channel 1614 are all parallel to the bottom surface of the water purifier main unit 110, so that the adapter module 160 can be laterally inserted into the expansion function module 120. In this way, the functional water purifier 130 can be installed on the water purifier main unit 110, or the water purifier main unit 110 can be installed on the functional water purifier 130. Moreover, the adapter module 160 can be connected to the water purifier main unit 110 first, or it can be connected to the functional water purifier 130 first, and then the three can be connected. The installation method is not limited to one of them (for example, the functional water purifier 130 must be inserted vertically into the water purifier main unit 110), providing more installation methods for users to choose flexibly.

[0145] Preferably, the extension direction of the second sub-circuit adapter 1615 and the valve core movement direction of the second sub-water circuit adapter 1616 are parallel to the docking direction of the functional water purifier 130 and perpendicular to the bottom surface of the water purifier main unit 110, so as to allow the functional water purifier to be vertically inserted.

[0146] Preferably, the first sub-circuit adapter 1613 and the second sub-circuit adapter 1615 are provided with male and female connectors. For example, if the first sub-circuit adapter 1613 is provided with a male connector, then the coupler 1210 on the expansion module 120 is provided with a female connector.

[0147] Reference Figure 6 The multi-functional water purifier 100 also includes a decorative cover 140, which closes onto the extended function module 120 when the multi-functional water purifier 100 is in stand-alone working mode. In the method of housing the extended function module 120 within the first receiving slot, due to the design requirements of the assembly space, the functional part of the extended function module 120 is still exposed to the air. For users with high cleanliness requirements, the introduction of the decorative cover 140 allows for complete sealing of the functional part of the extended function module 120 after closing, thereby achieving a better cleanliness maintenance effect and providing users with multiple operational needs.

[0148] In an embodiment where the extended function module 120 is fixedly mounted on the water purifier main unit 110 and housed in the first accommodating cavity 1111, the decorative cover 140 can be inserted into the first accommodating cavity 1111 to achieve the closing action of the extended function module 120.

[0149] Reference Figure 5 The extended function module 120 includes a first housing 1212, wherein a coupler 1210 and a stop valve 1211 are disposed on the first housing 1212. Specifically, the working parts of the coupler 1210 and the stop valve 1211 are both disposed on the upper surface of the first housing 1212. This is so that during the direct connection between the selected functional water purifier 130 and the main water purifier 110, the connection action is vertically downward and conforms to the side wall of the main water purifier 110. Thus, the connection action is completed simultaneously with the connection of the functional water purifier 130 and the extended function module 120, resulting in simple operation and precise connection. Alternatively, the extended function module 120 and the functional water purifier 130 can also be connected via an adapter module 160.

[0150] See Figure 9 In another embodiment, the working parts of the coupler 1210 and the working parts of the stop valve 1211 are both located on the side wall of the first housing 1212, so that they can be laterally connected to the adapter module 160.

[0151] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 The adapter module 160 includes a second housing 1612, and a circuit adapter coupling 1610 and a water circuit adapter channel 1611 are disposed on the second housing 1612. Specifically, the functional parts of the first sub-circuit adapter coupling 1613 and its corresponding first sub-water circuit adapter channel 1614 are both disposed on the side wall of the second housing 1612, so as to be able to laterally dock with the expansion function module 120; the functional parts of the second sub-circuit adapter coupling 1615 and its corresponding second sub-water circuit adapter channel 1616 are both disposed on the upper surface of the second housing 1612, so that during the connection process between the selected functional water machine 130 and the adapter module 160, the connection action is vertically downward to complete the connection action.

[0152] The bottom of the second housing 1612 is at least partially flush with the main unit 110 of the water purifier in the horizontal plane. Preferably, the bottom of the second housing 1612 includes a support portion with an outwardly protruding structure. The protruding structure on the lower end surface of the support portion is located in the same horizontal plane as the lower end surface of the main unit 110 of the water purifier, in order to provide effective support for the functional water purifier 130 installed on the support portion.

[0153] Preferably, the first sub-waterway transfer channel 1614 and the second sub-waterway transfer channel 1616 are connected by a pipe, which is housed within the cavity of the second housing 1612. The second housing 1612 is equipped with a sealing partition, and the sealed chamber formed by the sealing partition is used to house the aforementioned pipe, thus providing a sealed and isolated design for the water and electrical structures.

[0154] In this embodiment, the coupler 1210 includes at least one conductive element, and the stop valve 1211 includes a valve core. At least one waterproof element 1213 is provided on the first housing 1212, with the waterproof element 1213 corresponding to the conductive element, and the at least one conductive element located below its corresponding waterproof element 1213. Preferably, the waterproof element 1213 is an openable waterproof silicone sheet. The waterproof silicone sheet has openings in a cross-shaped, star-shaped, or other structure. During the docking process, the corresponding plug of the functional water dispenser 130 squeezes through the openings of the waterproof silicone sheet, passes through, and docks with the conductive element.

[0155] Preferably, the circuit adapter coupling 1610 includes at least one conductive element, and the water circuit adapter channel 1611 includes a valve core. A conductive element and a corresponding valve core are provided on the side wall of the second housing 1612 for docking with the extended function module 120. A conductive element and a corresponding valve core are also provided on the upper surface of the second housing 1612 for docking with the functional water machine 130.

[0156] The water purifier main unit 110 also includes a purified water tank, and a stop valve 1211 is in fluid communication with the purified water tank. The purified water filter element is located in the water purifier main unit 110, and at least a portion of the water outlet 1110 is located outside the water purifier main unit 110, and the water outlet 1110 is in fluid communication with the purified water tank.

[0157] Reference Figure 1 , Figures 6 to 8 The multi-functional water purifier 100 also includes a functional water purifier 130, which includes a body 1310, a coupling interface 1311, and an attached water circuit connection element 1312. The coupling interface 1311 and the attached water circuit connection element 1312 are disposed on the body 1310. The coupling interface 1311 can be connected to the coupler 1210 on the expansion function module 120, or the second sub-circuit conversion coupling element 1615 on the adapter module 160. The attached water circuit connection element 1312 can be connected to the stop valve 1211 on the expansion function module 120, or the second sub-water circuit conversion channel 1616 on the adapter module 160.

[0158] The functional water purifier 130 also includes a water pump, which is connected to an attached water connection element 1312 and is located inside the body 1310. This water pump, as a drive source, can draw water from the source, effectively introducing purified water from the main water purifier 110 into the functional water purifier 130. This differs from existing tea-brewing water purifiers which do not have a pump structure.

[0159] The functional water purifier 130 also includes a water storage tank, which is connected to an attached water connection element 1312. Its main purpose is to store the purified water introduced into the functional water purifier 130. The functional water purifier 130 also includes a water outlet 1313, which is connected to the water storage tank. Preferably, the water storage tank includes an ice tank. Preferably, the functional water purifier 130 is an ice water dispenser, tea maker, tea brewer, ice cube machine, ice water and ice cube machine, or coffee machine.

[0160] Reference Figure 1 The multi-functional water purifier 100 also includes a display 150, the display interface of which is different when the multi-functional water purifier 100 is in different working modes. The display 150 is located near the water outlet 1110, making it convenient for users to observe the display interface during water dispensing.

[0161] In this embodiment, the purified water tank is detachably installed on the main unit 110 of the water purifier, facilitating replacement, disinfection, and cleaning. The main unit 110 of the water purifier also includes a raw water tank 1112, which is detachably installed on the main unit 110. Preferably, the raw water tank 1112 is located on the side of the main unit 110 away from the functional water purifier 130. This symmetrical arrangement of the raw water tank 1112 and the functional water purifier 130 with respect to the main unit 110 not only shortens the operating distance of the components of the main unit 110, but also conforms to a more aesthetically pleasing design.

[0162] Reference Figures 1 to 13 This utility model embodiment also provides a multifunctional water purifier 100, comprising:

[0163] Water purifier main unit 110;

[0164] An expansion module 120 is installed on the main unit 110 of the water purifier. It includes a main unit electrical connection element 1210 and a main unit water circuit connection element 1211. The main unit electrical connection element 1210 is used to connect with the auxiliary electrical connection element 1311 in the auxiliary connection module on the functional water purifier 130 to provide an electrical signal to the functional water purifier 130. The main unit water circuit connection element 1211 is used to connect with the auxiliary water circuit connection element 1312 in the auxiliary connection module to provide liquid to the functional water purifier 130.

[0165] The adapter module 160 includes a circuit adapter coupling component 1610 and a water circuit adapter channel 1611;

[0166] When the functional water purifier 130 is installed on the multi-functional water purifier 100, the extended function module 120 contacts the attached docking module to dock, the main electrical docking element 1210 contacts the attached electrical docking element 1311 to dock, and the main water circuit docking element 1211 contacts the attached water circuit docking element 1312 to dock.

[0167] Preferably, the main electrical connection element 1210 is connected to the attached electrical connection element 1311 in the attached connection module on the functional water dispenser 130 via a circuit adapter coupling element 1610. The main water circuit connection element 1211 is connected to the attached water circuit connection element 1312 in the attached connection module via a water circuit adapter channel 1611. The above scheme enables the extended functional module 120 to contact and connect with the attached connection module via the adapter module 160.

[0168] With the above setup, before the installation of the functional water purifier 130, users can directly drink purified water using the multi-functional water purifier 100 itself. After the installation of the functional water purifier 130, users can not only directly drink purified water, but also use it to supply water and liquid directly to the functional water purifier 130, eliminating the need for some structural components of the functional water purifier 130. Furthermore, through the additional adapter module 160, which can be made into a universal structure, there is no need to wait for after-sales maintenance. The detachable structure makes replacement more convenient. It is also worth noting that the use of the detachable structure of the adapter module 160 allows the installation body to be either the water purifier main unit 110 or the functional water purifier 130. That is, the adapter module 160 can be connected to the water purifier main unit 110 first, or to the functional water purifier 130 first, and then the three can be connected at the end. This provides more options for installation methods, better integration effect and lower cost. The functional water purifier 130 can be a water chiller, tea maker, tea brewer, ice cube machine, ice water and ice cube machine or coffee machine, or one or more of these. By selecting the number of adapter modules 120, one or more functional water purifiers 130 can be used simultaneously, and selective combinations can be made according to actual needs to optimize functions.

[0169] Specifically, the main electrical connector 1210 includes at least one of a main power supply terminal, a main detection terminal, and a main signal terminal. The auxiliary electrical connector 1311 corresponds to the main electrical connector 1210 and includes at least one of an auxiliary power supply terminal, an auxiliary detection terminal, and an auxiliary signal terminal. The circuit adapter coupling 1610 includes at least one of an adapter power supply terminal, an adapter detection terminal, and an adapter signal terminal. The main power supply terminal provides power to the functional water purifier 130, the main detection terminal determines whether the functional water purifier is connected, and the main signal terminal sends information to and / or receives information from the functional water purifier 130. The auxiliary power supply terminal receives power, the auxiliary detection terminal allows the water purifier main unit 110 to determine whether the functional water purifier is connected, and the auxiliary signal terminal sends information to and / or receives information from the water purifier main unit 110. It is worth noting that the main electrical connector 1210 can also be connected to the auxiliary electrical connector 1311 via the circuit adapter coupling 1610. In practical applications, different types and quantities of terminals are set according to product requirements. For example, to facilitate user installation, the main unit electrical connection element 1210 includes a main unit power supply terminal, thus eliminating the need for an additional socket for the functional water dispenser in the installation scenario. For example, to save costs and facilitate user operation through a single interface, the main unit electrical connection element 1210 includes a main unit signal terminal.

[0170] Specifically, the main unit water circuit connection element 1211 is used to close when the functional water dispenser 130 is separated from the main water purifier 110 to prevent liquid from flowing out of the main water purifier 110, and to open when the functional water dispenser 130 is connected to the main water purifier 110 to supply liquid to the functional water dispenser 130. Furthermore, the attached water circuit connection element 1312 opens the main unit water circuit connection element 1211 after it is connected to the main unit water circuit connection element 1211.

[0171] Preferably, the main unit water circuit connection element 1211 can also be connected to the functional water machine 130 through the adapter water circuit channel 1611.

[0172] It is worth noting that the transfer water channel 1611 includes a first sub-water transfer channel 1614 and a second sub-water transfer channel 1616. When the first sub-water transfer channel 1614 is connected to the stop valve 1211 and the second sub-water transfer channel 1616 is not connected to the functional water machine 130, no corresponding opening force is applied to the valve element corresponding to the second sub-water transfer channel 1616, and the valve element is in a closed state; thus realizing the function of the transfer water connection element 1611 to close and prevent the liquid in the main water connection element 1211 from flowing out.

[0173] Alternatively, when the first sub-water circuit transfer channel 1614 is not connected to the stop valve 1211, and the second sub-water circuit transfer channel 1616 is connected to the functional water machine 130, the valve element corresponding to the first sub-water circuit transfer channel 1614 is not subjected to the corresponding opening force, and the valve element is in the closed state. In this way, water in the functional water machine 130 cannot flow out.

[0174] Alternatively, when the first sub-water transfer channel 1614 is not connected to the stop valve 1211, and the second sub-water transfer channel 1616 is not connected to the functional water dispenser 130, the corresponding valve elements of the first and second sub-water transfer channels 1614 and 1616 are not subjected to the corresponding opening force, and both valve elements are in the closed state. This ensures the cleanliness of the water transfer channel 1611 in the transfer module 160, preventing dirt from entering the water transfer channel 1611 and causing contamination. Furthermore, the user can apply external force to either valve element on the two sub-water transfer channels to drain the liquid from the water transfer channel 1611, preventing the water stored in the transfer module 160 from becoming stagnant water.

[0175] See Figures 3 to 6 The extended function module 120 can be retractably installed on the water purifier main unit 110.

[0176] See also Figure 3 and Figure 12When the expansion function module 120 is separated from the attachment module and in a retracted state, at least the main electrical connection element 1210 and the main water connection element 1211 of the expansion function module 120 are located inside the main unit 110 of the water purifier. Preferably, the expansion function module 120 is completely retracted inside the main unit 110 of the water purifier, which improves the overall aesthetics; secondly, it avoids bumps and knocks during transportation and use; and finally, it is dustproof and waterproof. However, when used with the adapter module 160, at least the circuit adapter coupling element 1610 and the water connection channel 1611 of the adapter module 160 are located outside the main unit of the water purifier.

[0177] See also Figure 4 When the expansion function module 120 is in the docking state, at least the main electrical docking element 1210 and the main water circuit docking element 1211 of the expansion function module 120 are located outside the main unit 110 of the water purifier.

[0178] Preferably, when the expansion function module 120 is in the docking state, at least the main electrical docking element 1210 and the main water circuit docking element 1211 in the expansion function module 120 are exposed and installed on the main water purifier 110 for the installation of the functional water purifier 130.

[0179] Specifically, the extended function module 120 is located at the bottom left side of the water purifier main unit 110. The bottom of the extended function module 120 can abut against the installation platform. After connecting to the water purifier 130, it can minimize or even avoid bearing the weight exerted on it by the water purifier 130, thereby ensuring that the extended function module 120 has small positional deformation and high connection accuracy during long-term use.

[0180] For the storage of the expansion function module 120, the water purifier main unit 110 in this embodiment is provided with a first receiving cavity 1111. The first receiving cavity 1111 can penetrate the side wall of the water purifier main unit 110, so as to facilitate the switching of the relative position of the expansion function module 120 between the storage state and the docking state.

[0181] Reference Figures 9-11In this embodiment, the extended function module 120 is disposed on the housing 1113 of the water purifier main unit 110 and faces the functional water purifier 130. Specifically, the extended function module 120 is disposed on the bottom left side of the water purifier main unit 110, and the functional water purifier 130 is respectively inserted into the main electrical connection element 1210 and the main water circuit connection element 1211 in the extended function module 120 from left to right. In this embodiment, it is worth noting that the extended function module 120 is fixedly disposed on the water purifier main unit 110. Specifically, the main electrical connection element 1210 is a coupler, and the main water circuit connection element 1211 is a stop valve. The extension direction of the coupler 1211 is parallel to the docking direction of the functional water purifier 130, and the extension direction of the coupler 1211 is parallel to the bottom surface of the water purifier main unit 110. The movement direction of the stop valve 1211 is parallel to the bottom surface, so as to allow the functional water purifier 130 to be inserted laterally.

[0182] To facilitate easy switching of the relative position of the expansion function module 120, in this embodiment, a slide rail is provided in the first accommodating cavity 1111, and a slide groove is provided on the expansion function module 120. The slide rail and the slide groove cooperate with each other to allow the expansion function module 120 to be slidably mounted on the water purifier main unit 110.
