With the improvement of living standard, the water quality requirement of people on domestic water is higher and higher. There are various water purifiers in the existing market, which are installed on water supply pipelines to filter and purify tap water.

In order to improve the water quality, prolong the service life of the filter element and reduce the use cost, the existing water purifier comprises a plurality of filter elements, such as a front filter element, a reverse osmosis membrane filter element and a rear filter element. Accordingly, a water inlet electromagnetic valve, a concentrated water electromagnetic valve, a booster pump, a high-voltage switch and the like are provided for the filter elements so as to ensure the normal operation of the water purifier. For small-flux water purifiers, a pressure tank is also typically provided. Therefore, the water path structure inside the water purifier is usually complicated. In order to avoid excessive water pipes inside the water purifier, an integrated waterway component is provided. The interior of the integrated waterway member generally has a plurality of straightway channels with a plurality of overflow ports on the surface thereof. One part of the water passing ports is used for connecting external elements or serving as a water inlet and a water outlet of the water purifier, and the other part of the water passing ports is connected with an internal straight flow channel through an external water pipe so as to form a complete water flow channel.

However, at present, the straight flow channel on the integrated waterway component is mostly formed by a core-pulling or drilling process. In order to be able to connect the above mentioned components and form the water inlet and outlet of the water purifier, the existing integrated waterway components usually comprise a plurality of straight channels, which are arranged side by side. On one hand, the increase of the number of the straight flow channels can cause the increase of the processing cost no matter the core-pulling process or the drilling process; on the other hand, a larger number of straight flow passages may result in a larger size of the integrated waterway member.

Therefore, how to reduce the number of the straight flow channels is one of the problems to be solved at present.

Therefore, on one hand, the sealing element is convenient to insert into the division position of the straight flow channel due to the fact that resistance is small in the installation process; on the other hand, whether the sealing element is installed in place can also be judged according to the resistance force applied in the inserting process.

Illustratively, the second section has, along its extension, a third section and a fourth section connected to each other, the third section being closer to the first section than the fourth section, the fourth section having an inner diameter smaller than the third section to form a boss on an inner wall of the second section.

Thus, even if there is a pressure difference between the first section and the second section, the seal member inserted from the first section to the dividing section is restricted from being inserted into position and then continuously advancing in the insertion direction. In addition, the T-shaped shaft section is convenient to process and manufacture.

Illustratively, the third section has an inner diameter equal to the second section.

In this way, whether through the core pulling process or the drilling process, in the process of forming the straight flow passage, only the straight flow passage having three inner diameters needs to be formed.

Illustratively, the axial cross-section of the forward portion of the body of the seal is T-shaped, the seal engaging the boss.

In this way, the seal can be firmly fixed in the straight flow channel in the direction of insertion.

Illustratively, the second seal ring is fitted over a small-sized section of the front portion.

This facilitates, on the one hand, the insertion of the seal into place, since the installation process is less resistant; on the other hand, whether the sealing element is installed in place can also be judged according to the resistance force applied in the inserting process.

Therefore, the connection of external pipelines can be reduced, and the risk of water leakage is reduced. Furthermore, the second section of the first straight flow channel is arranged inside the water channel plate, so that the length of the water channel can be reduced, the resistance of water flow is reduced, and the flow speed and the flow of water are improved. Meanwhile, the water inlet of the concentrated water electromagnetic valve is arranged on the water channel plate, and the concentrated water electromagnetic valve can be directly connected with the water channel plate, so that the connection of a middle water pipe is reduced. Therefore, the connection and the installation are convenient, and the integration level of the circuit board can be further improved.

Illustratively, one end of a water flow channel formed by the first section of one of the at least one straight flow channel is used for being connected to a water inlet of the rear filter element seat and a pure water outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane filter element seat through an external water pipe, and the other end of the water flow channel is used for being connected to the pressure barrel; one end of a water flow channel formed by the second section of the straight flow channel is used for being connected to a water outlet of the water inlet electromagnetic valve, and the other end of the water flow channel is used for being connected to a water inlet of the booster pump.

The second section of the second straight flow channel is arranged inside the water channel plate, and the water outlet of the water inlet electromagnetic valve is connected with the water inlet of the booster pump, so that the length of the water channel can be reduced, the resistance of water flow is reduced, and the flow speed and the flow of water are improved. The water inlet electromagnetic valve can be directly connected with the water channel plate, and the connection of the middle water pipe is reduced. Convenient connection and installation like this, can also further improve the integrated level of water route board.

Illustratively, the water inlet and the pure water outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane filter element seat extend out of the side surface of the integrated waterway component, or/and the water inlet and the water outlet of the rear filter element seat extend out of the side surface of the integrated waterway component.

Because the inside space of purifier is limited, extend by integrated waterway component's side above the mouth of a river, can avoid the below water receiving pipe at integrated waterway component. The height of the integrated waterway component in the water purifier is reduced, the space inside the water purifier is reasonably distributed, and the integration level of the water purifier is improved. Simultaneously, this structure can also play the effect of easy to assemble and maintenance.

The integrated waterway component comprises at least one straight flow channel, wherein the straight flow channel is arranged in the front of the integrated waterway component, and the straight flow channel is arranged in the front of the integrated waterway component.

Therefore, the water source and the front filter element can be connected through the first through straight flow channel inside the water channel plate, and a pipeline is not required to be connected outside the water channel plate.

Detailed Description

In the following description, numerous details are provided to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. One skilled in the art, however, will understand that the following description illustrates only a preferred embodiment of the invention and that the invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In addition, some technical features that are well known in the art are not described in detail in order to avoid obscuring the present invention.

The utility model provides an integrated waterway member 100, as shown in FIG. 1A, this integrated waterway member 100 includes at least one straight-through channel 200 and at least one sealing member 300. At least one straight channel 200 may extend along the longitudinal direction of the integrated waterway member 100. The at least one straight flow channel 200 may be formed by a core-pulling or drilling process. Each of the runners 200 may be split into a first segment 201 and a second segment 202 with two central openings 203 formed at the split, as shown in fig. 1A-1B. Each of the straight flow passages 200 generally has end openings at both ends thereof, and two middle openings 203 may be formed at the cut-off by cutting each of the straight flow passages 200 into two sections at a middle portion thereof.

A corresponding seal 300 is provided for each straight flow channel 200 to seal the central opening 203 of each straight flow channel 200 against the flow of water through the central opening 203. The sealing members 300 correspond to the number of the straight flow passages 200, and each of the straight flow passages 200 has a corresponding one of the sealing members 300. Therefore, the sealing member 300 corresponding to each of the straight ducts 200 mentioned below refers to the sealing member 300 sealing the straight duct 200. The sealing member 300 may be a cock, for example, and is connected to two middle openings 203 of the corresponding straight duct 200 to block the two middle openings, so that the first section 201 and the second section 202 are not communicated with each other. The seal 300 may also be a sealing material, such as an adhesive or the like. The sealing member 300 may be filled inside the middle opening 203, or may wrap the middle opening 203 from the outside, as long as it can seal the two middle openings 203 of the corresponding straight flow passages 200. A preferred embodiment of the seal 300 will be described in detail below.

The straight flow channel 200 sealed by the sealing member 300 forms a first section 201 and a second section 202 which are not communicated with each other. The first section 201 and the second section 202 may also have

water passing openings

201a and 202a, respectively, different from the extending direction thereof, so that the first section 201 and the second section 202 form different water flow passages, respectively. The water flow path of the first section 201 is open from the water passage opening 201a to the unsealed end thereof. The water flow path of the second section 202 is from the water inlet 202a to its unsealed end opening. Illustratively,

water ports

201a and 202a may be provided on the sidewalls of the first and

second sections

201 and 202, respectively. The

excess water ports

201a and 202a may be used to connect other water pipes or devices. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1A, the water passing ports 201A and 202a may face upward of the integrated waterway member 100. In other embodiments not shown, the

water passing ports

201a and 202a may also be oriented downward or in other directions with respect to the integrated waterway member 100, as long as other water pipes or devices can be connected thereto. Thus, two independent water flow passages may be formed for each straight channel 200 by the interception and sealing member 300, so that two water flow passages are formed through one straight channel 200 in the integrated waterway member 100.

One skilled in the art can select the number of the above-mentioned structure of the flow channels on each integrated waterway member 100 according to the requirement.

The utility model provides a divide into two independent rivers passageways with a sprue 200, can reduce the quantity of the sprue 200 that sets up side by side on the water route component 100 under the prerequisite that does not influence the sprue 200 function in the assurance. Since the number of the straight flow channels 200 is reduced, the processing cost thereof can be reduced. The size of the waterway member 100 can also be reduced along with the reduction of the straight flow channel 200, so that the integration level of the water purifier is improved, and the cost of the product is further reduced.

Illustratively, the seal 300 is configured to be inserted into the cutback from one end of the straight conduit 200. In the illustrated embodiment, first section 201 is closer to an edge of integrated waterway member 100 than second section 202, and the length of first section 201 is less than the length of second section 202. Thus, upon installation, the seal 300 may be inserted from the port of the first section 201 until a portion of the seal 300 moves into the second section 202. The two openings 203 of the first section 201 and the second section 202 at the division are blocked by the sealing member 300, so that the first section 201 and the second section 202 of the straight flow channel 200 are divided into two independent water flow channels. Such an internally mounted seal 300 has advantages of ease of manufacture and installation, and is capable of forming a good seal with the first and

second sections

201, 202 of the flow channel 200.

In one embodiment, the seal 300 may be substantially cylindrical, as shown in FIG. 2. The seal 300 may include a body 310 inserted into the direct flow passage 200. The body 310 is divided into a front portion 314 and a rear portion 312 along the insertion direction of the seal 300. A first sealing ring 322 and a second sealing ring 324 are respectively sleeved on the rear part 312 and the front part 314 of the main body 310. As shown in fig. 1B, a first seal 322 forms a seal between the rear portion 312 of the body 310 and the first section 201 of the straight flow channel 200. A second seal 324 forms a seal between the front 314 of the body 310 and the second section 202 of the straight flow channel 200. The number of the first sealing rings 322 and the second sealing rings 324 may be one or more. In the illustrated embodiment, the number of first and second seal rings 322, 324 is two. The sealing member 300 has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacture, convenient installation and the like.

Illustratively, the first section 201 of the straight flow channel 200 has a first section 2011 and a second section 2012 connected to each other along its extension, see fig. 1B and 2 in combination. Second section 2012 is closer to second section 202 than first section 2011. At least the portion of the body 310 that is fitted with the first packing 322 is housed within the second section 2012. The inner diameter of second section 2012 is smaller than the inner diameter of first section 2011. Thus, when seal 300 is inserted into flow channel 200 from first segment 201, first gasket 322 experiences substantially no resistance from the wall of first segment 2011 as it passes through first segment 2011 of first segment 201, and only moves into second segment 2012 experiences resistance from the wall of second segment 2012. Thus, on the one hand, the insertion of the seal 300 into the cut-off of the through-duct 200 is facilitated due to the low resistance during installation; on the other hand, whether the seal 300 is mounted in place may also be determined based on the amount of resistance experienced during insertion.

Illustratively, the second section 202 of the straight flow channel 200 has a third section 2021 and a fourth section 2022 connected to each other along its extension direction. The third section 2021 is closer to the first section 201 of the straight flow channel 200 than the fourth section 2022. The fourth section 2022 has an inner diameter smaller than the third section 2021 to form a boss 204 on the inner wall of the second section 202. That is, the first section 201 and the second section 202 are both T-shaped in axial cross section, and the inner diameter of the straight flow passage 200 is reduced in a stepwise manner in the left-to-right direction in fig. 1B. The benefit of forming the boss 204 is that a stop is formed on the inner wall of the second section 202. Thus, even if there is a pressure difference between the first segment 201 and the second segment 202, the seal 300 inserted from the first segment 201 to the division can be restricted from being inserted into position and then continuously advanced in the insertion direction. In addition, the T-shaped shaft section is convenient to process and manufacture.

The inner diameter of the third section 2021 may be equal to or different from the inner diameter of the second section 2012. The inner diameter of third section 2021 is preferably no greater than the inner diameter of second section 2012 to avoid a gap between seal 300 and third section 2021 after seal 300 is inserted. Preferably, the third section 2021 has an inner diameter equal to the second section 2012. In this way, whether through the core pulling process or the drilling process, in the process of forming the straight flow passage 200, it is only necessary to form a straight flow passage having three inner diameters. Taking the drilling process as an example, a drill with a smaller first diameter is used to form a straight flow channel, and then a drill with a second diameter (larger than the first diameter) is used to drill from the end where the first section 201 is located to the connection between the third section 2021 and the fourth section 2022, and then a drill with a third diameter (larger than the second diameter) is used to drill from the end where the first section 201 is located to the connection between the first section 2011 and the second section 2012. Finally, the straight flow channel is divided into two parts in the section with the second diameter.

Illustratively, the axial cross-section of the forward portion 314 of the body 310 of the seal 300 is T-shaped, and the seal 300 is engaged with the boss 204. In this way, the seal member 300 can be firmly fixed in the straight flow passage 200 in the insertion direction.

Further, a second sealing ring 324 is disposed over the small-sized section of the front portion 314, as shown in FIG. 1B. A second seal ring 324 is located within the fourth section 2022, forming a seal between the fourth section 2022 and the body 310. Thus, when the seal 300 is inserted into the flow passage 200 from the first section 201, the second seal ring 324 experiences substantially no resistance from the wall of the third section 2021 during passage through the third section 2021 of the second section 202, and only when moved into the fourth section 2022 does it experience resistance from the wall of the fourth section 2022. Thus, on the one hand, the insertion of the seal 300 into place is facilitated due to the low resistance during installation; on the other hand, whether the seal 300 is mounted in place may also be determined based on the amount of resistance experienced during insertion.

In the illustrated embodiment, an annular boss 204 is used as the stop portion, but in other embodiments not shown, the stop portion may have various other configurations, such as one or more discrete bumps formed on the wall of the flow channel 200. In addition, the position limiting part may be provided in the second stage 202, may be provided in the first stage 201, or may be provided in both the first stage 201 and the second stage 202. That is, at least one of the first segment 201 and the second segment 202 may have a stopper portion. The stopper serves to restrict the sealing member 300 from further moving in the insertion direction after the sealing member 300 is inserted into position.

Through setting up spacing portion, not only can fixed sealing member 300, can also be easy to assemble sealing member 300. Specifically, when the seal member 300 is inserted into the direct flow path 200, the seal member 300 only needs to be pushed to the stopper portion and stopped. In addition, for the embodiment described below in which the seal 300 is further secured by the clips 400, the stop portions also ensure that the clips 400 engage the annular groove 330 on the seal 300 after the seal 300 is installed in place, without concern that the seal 300 may not be moved in place or may be moved too far to allow the clips 400 to be installed.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the first section 201 and the second section 202 have two sections with unequal inner diameters, respectively. In other embodiments not shown, the first section 201 and the second section 202 may each have a uniform inner diameter. The inner diameters of the first section 201 and the second section 202 may be equal. The inner diameters of the first section 201 and the second section 202 may be different, and in this case, it is preferable that the inner diameter of the first section 201 is larger than that of the second section 202. In general, the configuration of the first and

second sections

201, 202 may be selected as desired by those skilled in the art.

Because there may be a pressure difference between the first section 201 and the second section 202 of the straight flow channel 200 during the operation of the water purifier, if only the sealing element 300 is installed in the straight flow channel, the movement of the sealing element 300 along the axial direction of the straight flow channel 200 is not limited, and even if the limiting part is provided during the operation, the sealing element 300 may be pushed out reversely under the action of water pressure, thereby causing a water leakage phenomenon.

To further enable securing of the seal 300, the integrated waterway member 100 preferably further includes at least one clip 400, each clip 400 being captured between the first section 201 and the second section 202 of one of the straight channels 200 and clamping the seal 300 within the straight channel 200.

In one embodiment, the waterway plate 110 may be formed with a slot 111, as shown in fig. 1A-1B, the slot 111 is located at the intersection of the first section 201 and the second section 202. The clip 400 may have a U-shaped opening. The clip 400 is inserted into the slot 111 and the U-shaped opening is captured on the seal 300. The clip 400 and the seal 300 may be secured together with an interference fit. During installation, the U-shaped opening of the clip 400 is mainly aligned with the gap between the first segment 201 and the second segment 202 and is forcibly inserted into the seal 300. The clip 400 has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation and the like.

Further, a ring-shaped clamping groove 330 is provided on the outer circumference of the sealing member 300, as shown in fig. 2. With seal 300 in place, ring groove 330 is aligned just as the gap between first segment 201 and second segment 202. In this case, a stop, such as boss 204, may be provided to ensure that the annular groove 330 is just in the gap between the first section 201 and the second section 202 when the seal 300 is in place, as previously described. The clip 400 is captured within the ring groove 330, thereby securely securing the seal 300 within the straight flow channel 200.

Fig. 3-5 show a schematic view of an integrated waterway member 100' having the above-described straight flow channels. Two of the previously described straight flow channels are included in the integrated waterway member 100'. For convenience of description, they are referred to as a first straight flow channel 210 and a second straight flow channel 220, respectively, as shown in fig. 4. The first section 211 of the first straight flow path 210 forms a water flow path between the

water passing openings

213 and 216. The water passing opening 213 may be connected to the water outlet 511 of the rear cartridge holder 510 through an external water pipe for drawing direct drinking water. The rear cartridge holder 510 may mount a rear cartridge 540 (see fig. 5). Thus, the overflow outlet 216 may be connected to a straight drinking water outlet of the water purifier by external piping. One end of the water flow channel formed by the second section 212 of the first straight flow channel 210 is located at the water passing port 214, and the water passing port 214 can be connected to the water inlet of the concentrated water solenoid valve 810. The other end of the water flow channel formed by the second section 212 is connected to the concentrate outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane cartridge 550 at the inside of the integrated waterway member 100'.

The straight flow channel 200 is divided into two independent water flow channels by the sealing member 300, so that two water flow channels with different functions can be separated in the space of one straight flow channel 200. The integration level of the waterway plate 110 is improved.

The second section 212 of the first straight flow channel 210 is connected to the concentrate outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane cartridge 520 inside the waterway plate 110. The reverse osmosis membrane cartridge holder 520 may be fitted with a reverse osmosis membrane cartridge 550 (see fig. 5). Therefore, the connection of external pipelines can be reduced, and the risk of water leakage is reduced. Furthermore, the second section 212 of the first straight channel 210 is inside the water channel plate 110, which can also reduce the length of the water channel, reduce the resistance of the water flow, and increase the flow speed and flow rate of the water flow. Meanwhile, the water inlet of the concentrated water electromagnetic valve 810 is arranged on the water channel plate 110, and the concentrated water electromagnetic valve 810 can be directly connected with the water channel plate 110, so that the connection of a middle water pipe is reduced. This facilitates connection and installation and further improves the integration of the circuit board 110.

Illustratively, the water flow passage formed by the first section 221 of the second straight flow passage 220 is located between the water passing openings 223 and 224. The water cut-off port 223 may be connected to the water inlet port 512 of the rear cartridge holder 510 and the pure water outlet port 521 of the reverse osmosis membrane cartridge holder 520 through an external water pipe. The excess water port 224 may be connected to a pressure tank 700, as shown in fig. 5. One end of the water flow channel formed by the second section 222 of the second straight flow channel 220 is located at the water passing opening 225, and the water passing opening 225 can be connected to the water outlet of the water inlet solenoid valve 820, as shown in fig. 5. The other end of the water flow channel formed by the second section 222 is located at the water passing port 226, and the water passing port 226 is connected to the water inlet of the booster pump 900 through an external pipe.

The pressure barrel 700 is mainly directed to a small-flux water purifier, that is, the water flux of the reverse osmosis membrane filter element of the water purifier is small, and under the condition, the pressure barrel 700 can store pure water prepared by the reverse osmosis membrane filter element in advance. The integrated waterway member 100' and the pressure bucket 700 may be connected through an external water pipe. In an embodiment, for a high-flux water purifier, the water purifier may not be provided with the pressure barrel 700, and in this embodiment, the water outlet 224 may be plugged by a plug or the like, and is not used.

Generally, a booster pump 900 is arranged in a water purifier with a reverse osmosis membrane filter element, and the booster pump 900 can ensure the normal work of a reverse osmosis membrane.

The second section 222 of the second straight flow channel 220 is arranged inside the water channel plate 110, and connects the water outlet of the water inlet electromagnetic valve 820 with the water inlet of the booster pump 900, so that the length of the water channel can be reduced, the resistance of water flow can be reduced, and the flow speed and flow rate of water flow can be improved. The water inlet solenoid valve 820 can also be directly connected with the water circuit board 110, so that the connection of an intermediate water pipe is reduced. This facilitates the connection and installation, and further improves the integration of the waterway plate 110.

Illustratively, the water inlet 522 and the pure water outlet 521 of the reverse osmosis membrane cartridge 520 extend from the side of the integrated waterway member 100'. The booster pump 900 is connected between the water inlet 522 and the water outlet 226 through an external pipe. The pure water outlet 521 may be connected to the drain port 223 through an external water pipe.

Illustratively, the inlet 512 and outlet 511 of the rear cartridge seat 510 extend from the sides of the integrated waterway member 100'. The water inlet 512 may be connected to the drain port 223 through an external water pipe. The water outlet 511 may be connected to the water drainage port 213 through an external water pipe.

Because the space inside the purifier is limited, the upper water gap extends from the side surface of the integrated waterway component 100 ', and a water receiving pipe below the integrated waterway component 100' can be avoided. The height of the integrated waterway component 100' in the water purifier is reduced, the space inside the water purifier is reasonably distributed, and the integration level of the water purifier is improved. Simultaneously, this structure can also play the effect of easy to assemble and maintenance.

In the integrated waterway member 100', a through straight channel is further provided, and the through straight channel is different from the straight channel 200, is not divided in the middle, and is a whole through channel.

Illustratively, integrated waterway member 100' further includes a first through straight flow channel 610 disposed alongside straight flow channel 200. One end of the first through straight flow passage 610 is located at the water drainage port 611. The water cut 611 may be connected to the water inlet of the water purifier through an external water pipe to connect to a water source. The other end of the first through straight flow passage 610 is connected to the water inlet of the pre-filter element 560. The pre-cartridge holder 530 may mount a pre-cartridge 560 (see fig. 5). The integrated waterway member 100' and the water source may be connected through an external water pipe.

Thus, the water source can be connected to the front filter element 560 through the first through-channel 610 inside the waterway plate 110 without connecting the pipe to the outside of the waterway plate 110. Not only is the installation and the maintenance convenient, but also the increased interfaces caused by connecting the water pipes are reduced, and the risk of water leakage is reduced.

Illustratively, the integrated waterway member 100' further includes a second through straight flow channel 620 disposed side by side with the straight flow channel 200. One end of the second through straight flow passage 620 is located at the water discharge port 621. The other end of the second through straight flow passage 620 is connected to the water outlet of the front cartridge holder 530 at the inside of the integrated waterway member 100'. The water passage hole 621 may be connected to a domestic water port of the water purifier through an external water pipe to draw out domestic water filtered only by the pre-filter 560. A water passing opening 622 is further formed in the sidewall of the second through straight flow passage 620, and the water passing opening 622 may be connected to a water inlet of the water inlet solenoid valve 820. The water inlet solenoid valve 820 is connected between the water passing ports 622 and 225. The domestic water filtered only by the pre-filter element 560 can also enter the water inlet electromagnetic valve 820 through the water outlet 622, then enter the second section 222 of the second straight flow channel 220 from the water outlet 225, is led out from the water outlet 226, and is sent to the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 550 through the booster pump 900.

In this way, the second through channel 620 may connect the living water gap, the pre-filter 560 and the water inlet solenoid valve 820 without connecting a pipe at the outside of the waterway plate 110. Not only is the installation and the maintenance convenient, but also the increased interfaces caused by connecting the water pipes are reduced, and the risk of water leakage is reduced.

Illustratively, the integrated waterway member 100' further includes a third through straight flow channel 630 disposed side by side with the straight flow channel 200. One end of the third through straight flow passage 630 is located at the water drainage port 631. The other end of the third through straight flow passage 630 is located at a water passing opening 632 connected to the water outlet of the concentrate solenoid valve 810. The water passing port 631 may be connected to a concentrate port of the water purifier through an external water pipe to lead out the concentrate formed by the reverse osmosis membrane cartridge 550. The concentrate solenoid valve 810 is connected between the

drain ports

214 and 632. Thus, the concentrated water generated by the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 550 passes through the second section 212 of the first straight flow channel 210, enters the concentrated water solenoid valve 810 from the water passing port 214, and is then discharged through the

water passing ports

632 and 631 in sequence.

Thus, the pipe connection between the concentrated water electromagnetic valve 810 and the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 550 and the concentrated water port of the water purifier can be reduced. Not only is the installation and the maintenance convenient, but also the increased interfaces caused by connecting the water pipes are reduced, and the risk of water leakage is reduced.

As described above, the concentrate outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane cartridge seat 520 of the integrated waterway member 100 'is connected to the inlet (not shown) of the concentrate solenoid valve 810 inside the integrated waterway member 100'. The pure water outlet 521 and the water inlet 522 of the reverse osmosis membrane cartridge 520 extend from the side of the integrated waterway member 100'.

Referring to fig. 5, raw water enters the integrated water channel plate from the water passing hole 611, is filtered by the pre-filter 560, and then can be discharged from the water passing hole 621 as living water when required by a user. On the other hand, when the user needs to drink pure water, the water filtered by the pre-filter 560 may be transferred to the reverse osmosis membrane filter 550 through the water inlet solenoid valve 820 and the booster pump 900 to be filtered. The concentrated water generated during the water production by the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 550 can be discharged through the water outlet 631 after passing through the concentrated water solenoid valve 810. The pure water produced by the reverse osmosis membrane cartridge 550 may be prestored in the pressure tank 700 connected to the drain port 224. A high-voltage switch 1000 may be connected between the pressure barrel 700 and the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 550. The high-voltage switch 1000 is turned off when the pressure tank 700 is full of water and has a pressure higher than a predetermined pressure, so that the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 550 stops producing water. The high pressure switch 1000 is closed when the water level in the pressure tank 700 is lowered to be lower than a certain pressure, so that the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 550 produces water. When a user needs, the water in the pressure barrel 700 can be filtered by the post-filter 540 and then discharged through the water outlet 216. If the reverse osmosis membrane filter cartridge 550 is producing water, pure water produced by the reverse osmosis membrane filter cartridge 550 may also be simultaneously delivered to the water outlet 216. The

waste ports

621 and 216 may be connected to a dual faucet 1100 for a user to take water as desired.
