Background

The water tank is used as a water storage device and can be used as a transportation device, a temporary water source and the like. The water tank is widely applied to various devices such as water purifiers, water heaters, coolers and the like, and the use frequency is very high.

In the process of discharging water from the water tank, air can enter the water tank from the air-permeable channel. In order to prevent air from polluting the water tank, an air filter is arranged on the air-permeable passage. The filtering layer of the existing air filter is mostly single-layer or double-layer non-woven fabric, or the combination of the non-woven fabric and carbon. Thus, impurities such as particles and dust in the air can be prevented from entering the water tank. However, the above air filter cannot perform the intercepting and filtering function for bacteria. Therefore, the problem that microorganisms exceed standards after the water tank is used for a period of time generally exists. Microorganism breeds and leads to the water tank inner wall to adhere to bacterial colony mucous membrane, and then the water in the polluted water tank.

In order to solve the above problems, some water tanks use chlorine or chemicals containing chloride, iodine resin, bromine resin, silver ion, etc. as a bactericide. The sterilizing effect of the agents is not obvious, and side effects such as over-standard trichloromethane, hypochlorite, bromate and silver ions in water are often generated; some water tanks adopt ozone and ultraviolet rays for sterilization. Therefore, the water tank needs to be electrified, so that the structure of the water tank is complex, and the application limitation is large. Moreover, the ozone sterilization can affect the taste of the water, and can cause the problems that the water can damage gastric mucosa, increase free radicals, generate disinfection byproducts and the like, thereby being harmful to human bodies. The ultraviolet sterilization can cause the quartz tube to be easily polluted by bacterial secretion to form a mucous membrane layer, thereby greatly reducing or even eliminating the sterilization effect of the ultraviolet. Therefore, the sterilization and bacteriostasis effects of the water tank are not ideal.

As shown in fig. 1, the water tank may include a water passage 110, an air-permeable passage 120, and an air filter 200.

The water tank may store and discharge water through the water passage 110. The structure of the water passage 110 may be arbitrary, such as a circular opening, a rectangular opening, etc. The number of water channels 110 may be arbitrary. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the number of the water passage 110 is 1, and the water passage 110 can have both water inlet and water outlet functions. In other embodiments not shown, the number of the water passing channels 110 may be multiple, multiple water passing channels 110 may be used for water inlet or water outlet, respectively, and the structures of the multiple water passing channels 110 may be the same or different. The water passage 110 may be provided at any position on the water tank. Preferably, the water passage 110 may be provided at a lower position of the water tank, which facilitates the clean discharge of water.

As is well known to those skilled in the art, during the water storage process of the water tank, air in the water tank may be discharged through the air-permeable passage 120.
