Description

Water softener and dish washing machine applying same

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the technical field of dish washing machines, in particular to a water softener and a dish washing machine applying the same.

Background

With the increasing development of science and technology and the improvement of living standard, especially with the rapid development of household appliance technology, a special dish washing device is provided for the aspect of tableware cleaning. A multifunctional dish washing machine generally has the functions of spraying, drying, sterilizing and the like, a user only needs to put tableware such as bowls and chopsticks into the dish washing machine, the dish washing machine can automatically complete a series of cleaning works according to the setting of the user, the use is convenient, the automation is full, the operation of the user is effectively reduced, and the dish washing machine is more and more loved by general users.

In the related art, a water softener is generally provided to soften inputted tap water, thereby reducing water hardness and thus extending the lifespan of the dishwasher. The water softener comprises a resin cavity and a salt cavity, and after the dishwasher is used for a period of time, salt needs to be added into the salt cavity again to improve the water softening capacity of the resin in the resin cavity.

The water softener of the prior art is provided with a cover assembly, and a sealing structure is arranged between the cover body and an opening of the water softener. In order to ensure the sealing performance, the sealing structure in the prior art is roughly divided into two types, one type is that a sealing ring is arranged on the bottom surface of a cover body, and the lower part of the sealing ring is pressed on an opening of a water softener when the cover body is closed, so as to realize sealing; the other is that the sealing ring is arranged on the plug head which extends from the bottom of the cover body to the opening of the water softener, so that the sealing ring is positioned in the opening when the cover body is closed, thereby realizing sealing. The structure of the cover component is too complex due to the two sealing structures, production and manufacturing are not facilitated, and the mold opening cost is too high. In addition, the opening sealing structure designed by manufacturers is not provided with the sealing structure on the cover component, but is provided with the sealing structure inside the opening of the water softener, but the opening of the water softener is reduced due to the sealing structure, so that the salt adding operation of a user is not facilitated, and the practical application is very difficult. Therefore, the sealing structure of the water softener in the prior art has a plurality of defects, which is a research problem of manufacturers at present.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

An object of the utility model is to provide a dish washer of water softener and applied this water softener under the mouth of pipe structure prerequisite that does not change original water softener, improves the structure of water softener, has both simplified the lid structure of water softener in order to reduce manufacturing cost, can ensure sealing performance again effectively.

In order to realize the purpose, the utility model discloses a technical scheme is:

a water softener comprises a shell, wherein a pipe orifice communicated with the inside of the water softener is arranged on the shell, and a salt adding cover is arranged on the pipe orifice; the water softener also comprises a retaining ring sleeved on the periphery of the pipe orifice, and an inner convex ring is arranged in the retaining ring; the pipe orifice is provided with a sealing ring, the sealing ring is supported in the buckle ring through the inner convex ring and is spliced with the pipe orifice, and the sealing ring is abutted to the salt adding cover.
