[0037] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] The core of this utility model is to provide a quick-release filter bottle mechanism, which can quickly replace the filter bottle, greatly simplifying the cumbersome steps and improving the user experience.

[0039] Another core aspect of this invention is to provide a water purifier that includes the aforementioned quick-release filter bottle mechanism.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 A quick-release mechanism for filter bottles is provided for the installation and removal of filter bottles 5. The filter bottle 5 includes an inlet nozzle 501 and an outlet nozzle 502, and includes a mounting frame 1 and a clamping assembly 6. The mounting frame 1 is provided with an inlet pipe 2, an outlet pipe 3 and at least one mounting seat 4. The inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are both connected to the mounting seat 4. The clamping assembly 6 includes a clamping plate 601 that is slidably installed on the mounting frame 1. When the clamping plate 601 slides to the locking position, it presses the nozzle of the filter bottle 5 into the mounting seat 4 and connects the inlet nozzle 501 and the outlet nozzle 502 to the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3, respectively.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present invention, both the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are provided with connecting ends, which are used to connect the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 to the inlet end and the outlet end, respectively.

[0042] In addition, in this embodiment of the present invention, the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are arranged in parallel so that the connection ports of the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are located at the same end of the mounting bracket 1, so as to facilitate the user to install and connect them.

[0043] Optionally, in some embodiments, valves may be installed on the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 respectively, so as to facilitate shutting off the pipes when replacing the filter bottle 5.

[0044] Optionally, in some embodiments, the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are mounted on the mounting frame 1 by means of brackets. The brackets are fixed to the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 by welding or bolts, or by means of clamps, so as to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3.

[0045] Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of mounting bases 4 can be selected according to actual usage needs; specifically, the number of mounting bases 4 is selected according to the number of filter bottles 5 required by the user.

[0046] In use, the mounting frame 1 is equipped with an inlet pipe 2, an outlet pipe 3, and at least one mounting base 4. The inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are both connected to the mounting base 4, and the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are respectively connected to the inlet end and the outlet end. Therefore, the mounting base 4 is connected to both the inlet end and the outlet end. The clamping assembly 6 includes a clamping plate 601 that is slidably installed on the mounting frame 1. When the clamping plate 601 slides to the locking position, it presses the nozzle of the filter bottle 5 into the mounting base 4, and connects the inlet nozzle 501 and the outlet nozzle 502 to the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 respectively. In other words, the filter bottle 5 is installed and fixed by the clamping plate 601. When replacing the filter bottle 5, the clamping plate 601 is slid in the opposite direction to remove the filter bottle 5. This is convenient and quick, making it easy for users to replace the filter bottle. It solves the problem of cumbersome steps and allows users to replace the filter bottle independently, greatly improving the user experience.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the mounting base 4 includes a base body 401, an inlet 403, and an outlet 402. The base body 401 has two independent cavities, which are respectively connected to the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3. The inlet nozzle 501 and the outlet nozzle 502 are respectively connected to the inlet 403 and the outlet 402. That is to say, the mounting base 4 has two independent cavities. When the inlet nozzle 501 and the outlet nozzle 502 of the filter bottle 5 enter the two cavities respectively, the filter bottle 5 can be connected to the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3, which is convenient and quick, and further improves the efficiency of disassembly.

[0048] Optionally, in some embodiments, the body of the mounting base 4 is a rectangular structure, and both the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 pass through the mounting base 4.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the mounting base 4, the inlet pipe 2, and the outlet pipe 3 are made in one piece.

[0050] In other embodiments, T-shaped pipes can be provided on both the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3, and the mounting base 4 can be installed on one of the ports of the T-shaped pipe, which can also realize the connection between the mounting base 4 and the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3.

[0051] Optionally, in some embodiments, in order to increase the sealing of the connection between the mounting base 4 and the filter bottle 5, both the inlet 403 and the outlet 402 are provided with seals.

[0052] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sealing element includes a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring. The first sealing ring is installed on the side wall of the mounting base 4, and the second sealing ring is installed on the outer wall of the inlet 501 and outlet 502 of the filter bottle 5. The inner diameter of the first sealing ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the second sealing ring. Therefore, when the inlet 501 and outlet 502 are inserted into the sealing element, they can achieve effective sealing under the action of the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments, the seal further includes a third sealing ring located at the top of the mounting base 4. At the same time, the bottom of the inlet nozzle 501 and the outlet nozzle 502 are provided with bosses. When the inlet nozzle 501 and the outlet nozzle 502 are inserted into the mounting base 4, the third sealing ring contacts and is squeezed against the bosses, which can further improve its sealing performance.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the clamping plate 601 is provided with a groove 602 with a preset trajectory, and the filter bottle 5 is provided with a sliding plate 7 for sliding within the groove 602. In other words, the clamping plate 601 controls the position of the filter bottle 5 by sliding within the groove 602 provided on it and by sliding within the groove 602 via the sliding plate 7.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the slide groove 602 of the clamping plate 601 has a V-shaped structure, and the slide groove 602 includes a lifting part and a clamping part. The included angle between the lifting part and the clamping part is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Therefore, after the water inlet 501 and water outlet 502 of the filter bottle 5 are placed on the mounting base 4, the clamping plate 601 is pushed to slide. The slide plate 7 slides first in the lifting part. At this time, the height of the slide plate 7 is raised so that the water inlet 501 and water outlet 502 of the filter bottle 5 are inserted into the mounting base 4. When the slide plate 7 enters the clamping part, the water inlet 501 and water outlet 502 of the filter bottle 5 are in the final locked position, realizing the connection between the filter bottle 5 and the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 3.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the slide bar 7 may be replaced by a slide rod.

[0057] Optionally, in some embodiments, the contact surfaces of the slide plate 7 and the slide groove 602 are both treated with a smooth surface to improve the smoothness of their sliding.

[0058] Optionally, in some embodiments, in order to improve the stability of the filter bottle 5 when it is inserted into the mounting base 4, the clamping plates 601 are two radially structured plates, located on both sides of the mounting base 4 respectively, which is beneficial to improving the installation effect.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 6 further includes a drive member 603, which is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and used to control the sliding of the clamping plate 601 on the mounting frame 1. The position of the clamping plate 601 is controlled by the drive member 603.

[0060] Optionally, in some embodiments, the drive unit 603 may use an electric cylinder as a power source, and the position of the clamping plate 601 can be controlled by the extension and retraction of the electric cylinder, while the clamping plate 601 has a locking function when it is in the locked position.

[0061] In some other embodiments, the drive component 603 may be a screw. Specifically, the screw axis is set along the moving direction of the clamping plate 601, and a nut is threaded on the screw. The nut is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 601. Therefore, the user can control the position of the clamping plate 601 by turning the screw, thereby controlling the stable insertion of the filter bottle 5 into the mounting base 4. At the same time, the screw has a locking function to ensure the stability of the filter bottle 5 during use.

[0062] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the drive member 603 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 1. When the drive member 603 rotates, it controls the movement of the clamping plate 601. That is, the drive member 603 is a rod-shaped structure. By controlling the rotation of the drive member 603, the clamping plate 601 can be controlled to slide along a preset direction.

[0063] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 In some embodiments, a rotating shaft 604 is fixed on the driving member 603. The driving member 603 is hinged to the mounting frame 1 through the rotating shaft 604. A control rod 605 is installed at the end of the rotating shaft 604. The control rod 605 is connected to the clamping plate 601. That is, there is a certain angle between the control rod 605 and the driving member 603. When the driving member 603 rotates, the control rod 605 rotates, thereby driving the clamping plate 601 to move the cabinet.

[0064] Optionally, in some embodiments, the drive member 603 has an L-shaped structure. The shorter end of the drive member 603 is provided with a rotating shaft 604 and is hinged to the mounting frame 1. The longer end of the drive member 603 rotates to contact the mounting frame 1 when the clamping plate 601 is in the locked position.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a fixing member for fixing the driving member 603 in the position when the clamping plate 601 is in the locked position.

[0066] Optionally, in some embodiments, the fixing element is a bolt. That is, the driving element 603 is provided with a through hole, and the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a threaded hole that mates with the through hole. When the driving element 603 rotates to the clamping plate 601 in the locked position, the bolt passes through the through hole and mates with the threaded hole to fix the position of the driving element 603.

[0067] In other embodiments, the fixing element is a snap-fit, that is, the driving element 603 is provided with a slot that cooperates with the snap-fit. When the driving element 603 rotates to the clamping plate 601 in the locked position, the snap-fit ​​enters the slot to fix the position of the driving element 603.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the control lever 605 includes a mounting groove 607 and a positioning groove 608, and the rotating shaft 604 is provided with a positioning protrusion 606. When the end of the rotating shaft 604 and the positioning protrusion 606 are respectively placed in the mounting groove 607 and the positioning groove 608, the control lever 605 is installed on the rotating shaft 604. That is to say, the control lever 605 and the drive component 603 are detachable and installable, and their fixed connection is achieved through the cooperation of the mounting groove 607 and the positioning groove 608.

[0069] Optionally, in some embodiments, the end of the rotating shaft 604 is a polygonal structure, and the mounting groove 607 is a polygonal structure that mates with the end of the rotating shaft 604 to increase the stability of the rotation of the control lever 605.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the control rod 605 is provided with a connecting post 609, and the clamping plate 601 is provided with a connecting hole 610 that mates with the connecting post 609. When in use, the connecting post 609 is inserted into the connecting hole 610 to ensure the driving stability of the clamping plate 601 when the control rod 605 rotates.

[0071] Optionally, in some embodiments, the filter bottle 5 is detachably fitted with an end cap, and the end cap is provided with a mounting protrusion. The inlet nozzle 501 and the outlet nozzle 502 are both mounted on the mounting protrusion, and the slide plate 7 is also mounted on the mounting protrusion. Therefore, after the filter bottle 5 is disassembled, the internal filter element can be removed for replacement or cleaning by removing the end cap.

[0073] In other words, the key point of this utility model is that: the mounting frame 1 is provided with an inlet pipe 2, an outlet pipe 3, and at least one mounting base 4. The inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are both connected to the mounting base 4, and the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are respectively connected to the inlet end and the outlet end. Therefore, the mounting base 4 is connected to both the inlet end and the outlet end. The clamping assembly 6 includes a clamping plate 601 that is slidably installed on the mounting frame 1. When the clamping plate 601 slides to the locking position, it presses the bottle mouth of the filter bottle 5 into the mounting base 4, and makes the inlet nozzle 501 and the outlet nozzle 502 connected to the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 respectively. That is to say, the filter bottle 5 is installed and fixed by the clamping plate 601. When replacing the filter bottle 5, the clamping plate 601 is slid in the opposite direction to remove the filter bottle 5. It is convenient and quick, and easy for users to replace.
