Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purifier technology, and in particular to a water purifier that separates water and electricity. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing prominence of drinking water safety issues, people's awareness of drinking water health has gradually increased. Although water meets drinking water standards after filtration and processing at water treatment plants, secondary pollution is unavoidable during transportation, resulting in unclean drinking water. Therefore, water purifiers, as a convenient water purification device, are becoming increasingly widely used. Water purifiers are generally installed in the under-sink space of the user's kitchen. However, this under-sink space is usually not spacious, so water purifiers sometimes need to be placed horizontally, that is, the filter cartridge is placed horizontally with its axis parallel to the horizontal plane. However, it has been found that horizontally placed water purifiers are prone to electric leakage accidents during operation, posing a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water purifier that separates water and electricity.

[0031] The applicant conducted research and analysis on existing water purifiers and found that the reason why existing water purifiers are prone to electrical leakage when placed horizontally is as follows: The water circuit and electrical circuit structures inside existing water purifiers are installed in the same space. When the water purifier is placed horizontally, due to the weight of the water pump and the vibration it generates during operation, the side containing the water pump is usually placed at the bottom, in contact with the ground, to reduce the impact of pump vibration and maintain stability. The electrical circuit structure driving the water pump is thus concentrated at the bottom, while the water circuit structure is located at the top. On the other hand, during use, the filter element in the water circuit structure needs to be replaced regularly. If the connection between the filter element and the water purifier is not sealed tightly during disassembly and reassembly, water can easily leak. Water droplets, under the influence of gravity, drip into the electrical circuit structure, thus causing an electrical leakage accident.

[0032] Based on this, the applicant proposes a water purifier with water and electricity separation. The housing has an internal installation space, and within this space, a support plate extending along the filter element's axis protrudes. This support plate, while supporting the filter element, physically divides the internal installation space into three mutually isolated spaces: a first space, a second space, and a third space. The water pump, filter element, and control unit are respectively installed in the first, second, and third spaces, achieving water and electricity separation. This mutual isolation allows the water circuit and electrical circuit to be separated, regardless of whether the water purifier is installed horizontally or vertically. This prevents electrical leakage caused by moisture affecting the electrical circuit, thus improving the safety of the water purifier. The following is one embodiment of a water purifier with water and electricity separation provided by this utility model:

[0034] This application provides a water purifier with water and electricity separation, including a housing 1, a water circuit board assembly 2, a filter element 3, a water pump 4, a partition 5, and a control unit 6.

[0035] The housing 1 includes a bottom plate 11, a top plate 12, a first side plate 13, a second side plate 14, a third side plate 15, and a fourth side plate 16. The first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, the third side plate 15, and the fourth side plate 16 are sequentially connected to form a frame with openings on opposite sides. The first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15 are positioned opposite each other, and the second side plate 14 and the fourth side plate 16 are respectively connected between the first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15 and spaced apart. The bottom plate 11 and the top plate 12 respectively cover the openings on opposite sides of the frame, and an installation space 10 is provided inside each. The water circuit board assembly 2, the filter element 3, the water pump 4, and the control unit 6 are disposed within the installation space 10. The water circuit board assembly 2 is located near the base plate 11. In the direction from the second side plate 14 to the fourth side plate 16, the water pump 4 is located near the fourth side plate 16, the control unit 6 is located near the second side plate 14, and the filter element 3 is located between the water pump 4 and the control unit 6. The base plate 11 has several first through holes 111 for connecting the water purifier to external pipelines. In this embodiment, the first through holes 111 include an inlet hole 1111, a first outlet hole 1112, a second outlet hole 1113, and a wastewater hole 1114. The top plate 12 has several second through holes 121 through which the filter element 3 passes and is inserted into the installation space 10.

[0036] The water circuit board assembly 2 connects the filter element 3 and the water pump 4, and includes an integrated water circuit board 21 and several interfaces 22. The integrated water circuit board 21 is fixedly installed on the base plate 11, integrating multiple water pipes, and can form a multi-layer internal water circuit to meet the design requirements of different water circuits of the water purifier. Its detailed water circuit structure can be found in existing technology and will not be described in detail here. A filter element mounting groove 211 extending perpendicularly to the surface of the integrated water circuit board 21 is provided at one end of the integrated water circuit board 21 away from the base plate 11 for mounting the filter element 3. Specifically, several water guide columns 212 protrude from the bottom of the filter element mounting groove 211. The extending direction of the water guide columns 212 is parallel to the axial direction of the filter element 3, and the water guide columns 212 are connected to corresponding pipes in the integrated water circuit board 21. In this embodiment, the water guide columns 212 may include raw water columns, coarse filtered water columns, pure water columns, and wastewater columns. The interface 22 protrudes from the side plate of the integrated water circuit board 21 facing the base plate 11. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the interface 22 is perpendicular to the surface of the base plate 11. The interface 22 includes a water inlet 221, a first water outlet 222, a second water outlet 223, and a wastewater outlet 224. One end of the water inlet 221 is connected to the water inlet pipe in the integrated water circuit board 21, and the other end extends from the water inlet hole 1111 to connect with the external water inlet pipe. The raw water to be filtered enters from the water inlet 221. One end of the first water outlet 222 is connected to the coarse filtration water pipe in the integrated water circuit board 21, and the other end extends from the first water outlet hole 1112 to connect with the external first water outlet pipe. The coarsely filtered purified water is discharged from the first water outlet 222; one end of the second water outlet 223 is connected to the pure water pipe in the integrated water circuit board 21, and the other end extends out of the second water outlet hole 1113 and is connected to the second water outlet pipe outside. The purified water after multiple filtrations is discharged from the second water outlet 223; one end of the wastewater outlet 224 is connected to the wastewater pipe in the integrated water circuit board 21, and the other end extends out of the wastewater hole 1114 and is connected to the sewage pipe outside. The wastewater generated during filtration is discharged from the wastewater outlet 224.

[0037] The filter element 3 passes through the second through hole 121 and is installed in the filter element mounting groove 211. The filter element 3 extends in the direction from the bottom plate 11 to the top plate 12. The filter element 3 has a filter unit inside; the structure of the filter unit is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Several first water inlets 31 are formed on the end face of the filter element 3 near the integrated water circuit plate 21. The first water inlets 31 communicate with the filter unit, and each first water inlet 31 corresponds to a water guide column 212. The water guide columns 212 are inserted into the first water inlets 31, connecting and communicating between the integrated water circuit plate 21 and the filter unit of the filter element 3. In this embodiment, there are two filter cartridges 3 and two filter cartridge mounting slots 211. One filter cartridge 3 is an activated carbon filter cartridge in the prior art, which is used to coarsely filter the raw water flowing in from the water inlet 221 to obtain purified water, which can be used for household washing of vegetables, etc. The other filter cartridge 3 is an RO membrane filter cartridge, which is used to further filter the coarsely filtered purified water to obtain pure water, which can be used for drinking by users.

[0038] Furthermore, an O-ring (not shown in the figure) is provided around the outside of the first water inlet 31. The O-ring is used to enhance the sealing between the water guide column 212 and the first water inlet 31 to prevent water leakage.

[0039] Furthermore, the bottom of the filter element mounting groove 211 is provided with several connecting posts 213, and the end face of the filter element 3 near the integrated water circuit board 21 is provided with several connecting holes 32; the connecting posts 213 correspond one-to-one with the connecting holes 32 and are inserted into the connecting holes 32, so that the connection between the integrated water circuit board 21 and the filter element 3 is more stable.

[0040] The water pump 4 is used to direct the water flow within the integrated water circuit board 21 and extend it from the top plate 12 to the bottom plate 11. In this embodiment, the water pump 4 is fixedly installed on the fourth side plate 16, and the inlet and outlet channels of the water pump 4 are connected to the corresponding pipes of the integrated water circuit board 21. The water pump 4 is electrically connected to the control unit 6, which controls the opening and closing of the water pump 4. Specifically, the top plate 12 is also provided with several clearance openings (not shown in the figure). The circuit wires of the water pump 4 can pass through one of the clearance openings, extend out of the housing 1, and then go around the outside of the top plate 12 to another clearance opening near the control unit 6, and then be electrically connected to the control unit 6. The water pump 4 can be a booster pump or a self-priming pump from the prior art, and its detailed structure will not be described in detail again.

[0041] Furthermore, the housing 1 also includes a cover plate 17, which is detachably installed on the side of the top plate 12 away from the bottom plate 11 and has a fourth through hole (not shown in the figure). The cover plate 17 covers the circuit wires of the filter element 3 and the water pump 4, providing protection. The display 61 passes through the fourth through hole and protrudes from the outside of the housing 1.

[0042] At least two partitions 5 are disposed within the installation space, each partition 5 extending from the top plate 12 to the integrated water circuit plate 21. Projected along the direction from the top plate 12 to the bottom plate 11, the two ends of each partition 5 are connected to the first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15 respectively, dividing the installation space 10 into at least three mutually isolated spaces: a first space 101, a second space 102, and a third space 103, with the second space 102 located between the first space 101 and the third space 103. The water pump 4 is installed in the first space 101; the filter element 3 is installed in the second space 102, and correspondingly, the second through hole 121 communicates with the second space 102, with the filter element mounting groove 211 located in the second space 102; the control unit 6 is installed in the third space 103. Thus, the water pump 4, the filter element 3, and the control unit 6 are respectively located in the mutually isolated first space 101, second space 102, and third space 103, achieving water and electricity separation and preventing leakage accidents during operation of the water purifier. In this embodiment, each partition 5 is integrally formed with the top plate 12, the first side plate 13, and the third side plate 15 to ensure the sealing between the first space 101, the second space 102, and the third space 103. In other embodiments, the partition 5 and at least one of the top plate 12, the first side plate 13, and the third side plate 15 are separate structures, connected by screws or other means to reduce processing difficulty, and are not limited to this. Furthermore, the clearance openings communicate with the first space 101 and the second space 102 respectively, realizing the electrical connection between the water pump 4 and the control unit 6.

[0043] Furthermore, the partition 5 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the filter element 3 facing the fourth side plate 16, providing support so that the position of the filter element 3 can be fixed and the weight of the filter element 3 can be supported when the water purifier is placed horizontally.

[0044] Furthermore, the partition 5 is provided with a semi-circular arc portion that matches the outer peripheral surface of the filter element 3 facing the fourth side plate 16, so as to increase the contact area between the support plate 12 and the outer peripheral surface of the filter element 3, thereby enhancing the support effect.

[0045] Furthermore, a partition 5 is provided below each filter element 3 to support each filter element 3. In this embodiment, there are two filter elements 3, and correspondingly, there are three partitions 5. A partition 5 is provided between the filter element 3 and the water pump 4, on the side of the two filter elements 3 facing the water pump 4, and between the filter element 3 and the control unit 6.

[0046] The control unit 6 is installed within the third space 103 and includes a controller (not shown), a display 61, and several solenoid valves 62. The controller is located within the third space 103 and is electrically connected to the water pump 4, the display 61, and the solenoid valves 62, respectively, for receiving input signals and controlling the operation of the corresponding devices. A third through-hole 122 is also provided on the top plate 12, communicating with the third space 103. The display 61 passes through the third through-hole 122 and protrudes outside the housing 1, allowing the user to view the operating status of each device and input control signals. Several solenoid valves 62 are respectively installed in each pipe of the integrated water circuit board 21, for controlling the opening and closing of the pipes between the integrated water circuit board 21 and the filter element 3, and between the integrated water circuit board 21 and the water pump 4.

[0047] The water purifier with water-electricity separation provided by this utility model can be placed vertically or horizontally. Regardless of the placement method, the water pump 4 and the control unit 6 are located on both sides of the filter element 3 and separated by the partition 5 to avoid being affected by possible water leakage from the filter element 3. In addition, when placed horizontally, according to installation habits, the fourth side plate 16, which is fixedly installed with the water pump 4, is in contact with the ground. At this time, the third space 103, the second space 102, and the first space 101 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom and separated by the partition 5. At the same time, the partition 5 provides support to the filter element 3.

[0048] Compared with existing technologies, the water-electricity separation water purifier provided in this application has the following advantages:

[0049] (1) The partition 5 divides the installation space inside the housing 1 into a first space 101, a second space 102 and a third space 103. The water pump 4 is installed in the first space 101, the filter element 3 is installed in the second space 102 and the control unit 6 is installed in the third space 103. The water and electricity are separated by the partition 5, which avoids the control unit 6 from being affected by moisture and causing leakage accidents.

[0050] (2) The partition 5 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the filter element 3 facing the fourth side plate 16, which can fix the position of the filter element 3 and bear the weight of the filter element 3 when the water purifier is placed horizontally.

[0051] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
