[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the water purifier in this embodiment includes a filter assembly, an ultraviolet sterilizer 23, a water inlet pipe 41, a heating water tank 241, an ice-making mechanism 1, a room temperature water pipe 44, a concentrated water pipe 46, and a hot water pipe 45. The water inlet pipe 41 passes sequentially through the filter assembly and the ultraviolet sterilizer 23. A solenoid valve is installed on the pipeline to control the water flow direction, and booster pumps 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 are installed on the pipeline to provide water pressure.

[0023] The filter element assembly includes a PP cotton activated carbon composite filter element 21 and a nanofiltration membrane filter element 22 connected in sequence.

[0024] The connecting water pipe 43 and the cold water pipe 42 of the ice-making mechanism 1 are respectively connected to the inlet water pipe 41; the ambient temperature water pipe 44 is connected to the inlet water pipe 41; and the hot water pipe 45 extends out after heat exchange through the heating water tank 241.

[0025] One branch of the hot water pipe 45 leads into the ambient temperature water pipe 44, and the other branch passes through the heating element 25 to form a hot water outlet. The hot water outlet is equipped with a temperature sensor 251 and a flow meter 252. The heating element 25 can be a thick-film heating element. The inlet pipe 41 has a branch pipe 411 that communicates with the connecting water pipe 43, and a flow meter 51 is installed on the branch pipe 411.

[0026] The heating water tank 241 is heated by an electric heating element 241. The heating water tank 241 is equipped with a temperature sensor 242.

[0027] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ice-making mechanism 1 in this embodiment includes a refrigerator 11, a reaction chamber 13, an ice-making box 12, a cold water pipe 42, and a vacuum drying pump 26.

[0028] The reaction chamber 13 is located inside the refrigerator 11 and has a recess. The inner cavity of the reaction chamber 13 contains an inorganic salt refrigerant and is connected to a water pipe 43 leading into the inner cavity. A stirring mechanism is provided inside the reaction chamber 13. In this embodiment, the stirring mechanism includes a stirring motor 14 and stirring blades 15 located at the power output end of the stirring motor 14. In this embodiment, the inorganic salt refrigerant can be potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, or ammonium chloride.

[0029] The ice-making container 12 is detachably disposed within the groove of the reaction chamber 13; the ice-making container 12 is divided into multiple compartments that can form individual ice cubes. In this embodiment, the ice-making container 12 is provided with a handle 121 on one side for easy handling.

[0030] A cold water pipe 42 is installed through the reaction chamber 13 to exchange heat with the reaction chamber 13; a vacuum drying pump 26 is connected to the inner cavity of the reaction chamber 13. The cold water pipe 42 has a spiral section 421, which is located inside the reaction chamber 13.

[0031] Ice-making principle: During ice making, an ice-making container filled with water is placed in the groove of a reaction chamber. A measured amount of purified water flows into the reaction chamber, dissolving the potassium nitrate crystals within. The potassium nitrate crystals absorb heat from the surrounding environment and the water in the ice-making container during dissolution, lowering the temperature of the purified water to below freezing, thus freezing the water. After freezing, lift the ice-making container by its two handles and remove it from the groove. Place the ice cubes from the small compartments into a spare container for household use.

[0032] After ice making is complete, the vacuum drying pump starts operating, reducing the ambient pressure in the reaction chamber. This lowers the boiling point of the potassium nitrate solution, allowing the solution to evaporate water at a low temperature. The vacuum drying pump continuously draws out water vapor from the reaction chamber and discharges it through a pipeline to the concentrated water pipe. Simultaneously, the solenoid valve on the water inlet pipe is closed to prevent the vacuum drying pump from drawing in room temperature water. The vacuum drying pump continuously and slowly evaporates the water from the potassium nitrate solution, transforming it into potassium nitrate crystals. These crystals then absorb heat for the next potassium nitrate crystallization process to make ice, enabling recycling.

[0033] In the room temperature water circuit, room temperature water in the inlet pipe enters the heating tank for heat exchange. The room temperature water is then heated to the set temperature. The heated water then enters the room temperature water pipe for timed high-temperature sterilization. This kills bacteria in the pipes before returning to the heating tank, ensuring that the first cup of room temperature water is sterile.

[0034] In a warm water circuit, room temperature water in the inlet pipe enters the heating tank for heat exchange, then enters the heating element to be heated to the required temperature, and finally flows out from the hot water outlet, thus obtaining warm water at different temperatures.

[0035] The cold water circuit involves introducing room temperature water from the inlet pipe into the cold water pipe. After passing through the reaction tank, the room temperature water is cooled, and the temperature drops, thus obtaining cold water.
