Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water purifier technology, and in particular relates to filter cartridge components of water purification equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Water purifier filter cartridges are the core components of a water purifier, acting as the "heart" of the device. They achieve layered filtration of impurities in the water through different materials and structures. Common types include PP cotton filters (intercepting large particles such as sediment and rust), activated carbon filters (adsorbing residual chlorine, odors, and some organic matter), ultrafiltration membrane filters (filtering bacteria, colloids, and other tiny contaminants), and RO reverse osmosis membrane filters (deeply removing heavy metals and microorganisms with a precision of up to 0.0001 microns). Different filter cartridges have different functional focuses and need to be replaced regularly according to their usage cycle to ensure water purification efficiency. Their performance directly determines the purification effect and water quality of the water purifier.

[0003] Water purifier filter cartridges consist of an outer shell and an internal filling material. Most filter cartridges have a sealed, non-removable outer shell, making replacement easier. However, some users are frugal and prefer to go through the extra trouble of replacing only the internal filling material to reduce replacement costs. This results in a low degree of compatibility between conventional filter cartridges and user needs.

[0004] Therefore, we propose using filter cartridges in water purification equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of low matching degree between conventional filter cartridges and user needs, and to propose a filter cartridge assembly for water purification equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The filter cartridge assembly of the water purification equipment includes a filter cartridge housing. A sealing cap is threadedly installed on the upper part of the filter cartridge housing, and a spring-loaded buckle is fastened to the side of the sealing cap. The lower part of the spring-loaded buckle engages with the upper part of the filter cartridge housing. The spring-loaded buckle secures the filter cartridge housing and sealing cap, preventing the sealing cap from loosening. After the filter cartridge housing is placed into the target water purifier, the inner wall of the water purifier acts on the spring-loaded buckle, keeping it engaged with the upper part of the filter cartridge housing. This allows the sealing cap's tension to act on the filter cartridge housing, tightening it into the target water purifier. After removing the filter cartridge housing, thrifty users familiar with the internal structure can pry out the spring-loaded buckle, unscrew the sealing cap, empty the filler from the filter cartridge housing, and insert new filler, avoiding waste of the filter cartridge housing, sealing cap, and spring-loaded buckle. Users who prefer convenience can simply discard the filter cartridge housing, sealing cap, and spring-loaded buckle together for replacement, allowing for selection based on user needs.

[0007] Preferably, the filter element housing includes a shell, the upper part of which has a slot, and the upper inner wall of the shell has a threaded opening.

[0008] Preferably, the sealing cap includes a cap body, a threaded block fixedly connected to the lower part of the cap body, a sealing ring fixedly connected to the lower end of the threaded block, the threaded block being threaded into the threaded opening, the sealing ring sealing the upper part of the housing, a knob fixedly connected to the upper end of the cap body, and a groove formed on the top of the cap body. Turning the knob rotates the cap body, which in turn rotates the threaded block, allowing the threaded block to be unscrewed from the threaded opening or screwed back into the threaded opening. The sealing ring seals the upper opening of the housing, facilitating the unscrewing or screwing back of the sealing cap.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the knob has a groove. The groove increases the friction between the knob and the hand.

[0010] Preferably, the snap fastener includes a snap strip that engages within a snap groove or opening. An insert strip is fixedly connected to the upper end of the snap strip, and this insert strip is movably inserted into the snap groove. A spring strip is fixedly connected to the insert strip, and a snap block is fixedly connected to one end of the spring strip. The spring strip slides into the snap groove, and the snap block engages with the snap groove. By using the snap block to engage within the snap groove, the snap fastener is held within the cover body, preventing the snap strip from disengaging from the snap groove or opening, thus improving the stability of the sealing cover and the snap fastener's position.

[0011] Preferably, the spring clip further includes a guide head, which is fixedly connected to one end of the spring strip. The guide head guides the clip block into the clip groove.

[0012] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. Use the spring clips to hold the filter cartridge and the sealing cap in place to prevent the sealing cap from loosening. After placing the filter cartridge into the target water purifier, use the inner wall of the water purifier to engage the spring clips with the upper part of the filter cartridge. This allows the sealing cap's tension to act on the filter cartridge, tightening it into the target water purifier. After removing the filter cartridge, thrifty users who understand the internal structure can pry the spring clips outwards, unscrew the sealing cap, empty the filler from the filter cartridge, and insert new filler to avoid wasting the filter cartridge, sealing cap, and spring clips. Users who prefer convenience can simply discard the filter cartridge, sealing cap, and spring clips together for replacement. This allows for selection based on user needs.

[0013] 2. Turning the knob rotates the cover, which in turn rotates the threaded block. The threaded block can be unscrewed from the threaded opening or screwed back into the threaded opening. The sealing ring seals the opening at the top of the housing, making it easy to unscrew or screw back the sealing cover.

[0014] 3. The buckle is fastened into the buckle groove to keep the spring buckle inside the cover body, preventing the buckle strip from falling out of the buckle groove and improving the stability of the sealing cover and spring buckle. Attached Figure Description
