也就是说,水箱所占据的净水机空间大于其有效的容积,有相当一部分空间是被浪费掉了
[0008]This invention utilizes a small protrusion above the top of the water tank to house the top of the liquid level sensor. This ensures that the effective sensing point of the liquid level sensor is above or equal to the top surface of the water tank body, thus making the entire volume below the top surface of the water tank body effective. Therefore, this invention makes more rational use of the water purifier's internal space and utilizes the water tank space more effectively.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of water purification equipment, especially water purifiers, and specifically relates to water tanks suitable for water purifiers. Background Technology
[0002] A water purifier includes a filter cartridge, which filters raw water to produce pure water. The pure water is temporarily stored in a water tank for immediate use by the user. In pursuit of filtration efficiency and water flow, the various components required for water purifiers are becoming increasingly larger, while the size of the water purifier itself should be as small as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to design the internal components of the water purifier to be as compact as possible.
[0003] Most components of a water purifier, such as the filter cartridge, water pump, and motor, are standard parts with fixed shapes, while the water tank is a non-standard part that can be freely designed. Therefore, existing water purifiers often design the water tank as a cube to maximize the use of internal space. Of course, this is not a standard cube shape, but an approximate cube. Depending on the model, there may be different protrusions to better utilize space, but it generally has a flat top and bottom surface.
[0004] The drawback of existing water tanks is that a level sensor must be installed inside the tank. The effective sensing point of the level sensor is necessarily some distance from its apex, and the space inside the tank above this effective sensing point is meaningless. In other words, the water tank occupies more space than its effective volume within the water purifier, resulting in a significant waste of space. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide a water tank with a more reasonable structure suitable for water purifiers.
[0006] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a water tank suitable for a water purifier, comprising a cubical tank body, wherein a liquid level sensor is provided inside the tank body; characterized in that: the top surface of the tank body has an upward protrusion, and the top of the liquid level sensor is placed in the cavity formed by the protrusion.
[0007] Inside a water purifier, the area above the water tank is usually used to house other components. Since many of these components are standard parts with fixed shapes, such as cylinders, there will inevitably be some gaps between adjacent components. Although these gaps are not large enough to accommodate larger components, they are much larger than the diameter of the liquid level sensor. Therefore, by changing the shape of the water tank, they can be used to provide cavities for the liquid level sensor.
[0008] This invention utilizes a small protrusion above the top of the water tank to house the top of the liquid level sensor. This ensures that the effective sensing point of the liquid level sensor is above or equal to the top surface of the water tank body, thus making the entire volume below the top surface of the water tank body effective. Therefore, this invention makes more rational use of the water purifier's internal space and utilizes the water tank space more effectively. Attached Figure Description
[0009] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.
[0010] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0011] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 This embodiment includes a basically cubic box 1 with a protrusion 2 on the top surface and a vent 21 on the protrusion 2. The box is provided with a water inlet 4 and a water outlet 5, and a UV lamp 6 is also provided at the bottom of the box.
[0012] The tank is equipped with a liquid level sensor 3. When the liquid level rises, its top 31 can be accommodated in the cavity formed by the protrusion 2. At this time, the sensing point 32 is higher than the top surface of the tank 1, so the volume inside the tank can be fully utilized.
Claims
