Description

Water Purifier

The present invention relates to a water purifier, and more particularly to a water purifier that is convenient and quick to maintain on a regular basis and can improve the health effect of the water supply.

According to the World Health Organization survey, 80% of human diseases are related to the unsafe drinking water. However, with the development of economy and industry, the water pollution of drinking water is becoming more and more serious. Today, in the prevalence of prevention of diseases and health, clean water The importance of the device is self-evident.

A conventional water purifier includes the following components: a detachable casing, and a plurality of filter cartridges disposed in the casing. The filter elements can be respectively divided into a filter element or a functional filter element. The general tap water can be safely consumed after removing the impurities in the water through multiple filter elements, but today, people's health awareness gradually rises, for drinking water today. The requirements are also more stringent. Therefore, most of the functional filter cartridges are commonly used in water purifiers to add minerals, ions and other substances beneficial to the body in the filtered water.

However, a typical water purifier may produce the following deficiencies:

1. The filter material of the water purifier is usually housed in a filter cartridge, and needs to be periodically removed for cleaning or replacement, especially the ceramic filter material in the first filter cartridge, which requires higher frequency cleaning and maintenance. However, the first filter filter of the general water purifier is mostly located inside the casing, not only It is necessary to disassemble the entire casing during cleaning, and it is often difficult to directly observe the filter material from the outside.

2. Water remaining in the filter cartridge when the ceramic filter material is cleaned It is very likely that during the process of taking out the filter material, it is contaminated by the dirt falling off the filter material. Therefore, it is necessary to empty the water in the filter cartridge and clean the entire filter cartridge to prevent the sewage from remaining or even flowing into the next filter. However, the net The water is usually a relatively large machine, so the user needs to spend a lot of effort to move the whole machine, so that the water remaining in the filter can be poured out, and the process of cleaning the filter is very troublesome for the user. And laborious.

Third, the casing of the general water purifier is mostly made up of screw joints. Therefore, whenever it is necessary to clean or replace the filter element located inside the casing, it is necessary to unscrew the respective screw joints to disassemble the casing, and then lock them back after cleaning, which is very time consuming and needs to be coordinated in the process. Extra hand tools such as screwdrivers can be disassembled, which is quite inconvenient. In addition, most of the casings are made of plastic. If the materials are aging and deformed under long-term use, the screw holes will be displaced, resulting in screw holes and screws. The correspondence between the hole, the screw hole and the bolt becomes very difficult, and the inconvenience of cleaning and replacing the filter core is doubled.

Fourth, the functional filter in the general water purifier is a string between each other The relationship, that is, after the addition of the beneficial substance by the first functional filter element, the effluent water flows into the second functional filter element for the second addition, and is expected to be synergistic under the function of multiple functional filter elements. The concentration of the beneficial substance can be multiplied. However, each time a functional filter element is passed, beneficial substances such as minerals, metal ions, etc. will partially remain in the filter element, thus causing beneficial substances in practical use. I can't achieve what I deserve. concentration.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a water purifier that is convenient and quick in regular maintenance and can improve the health effect of the water supply.

Therefore, the novel water purifier comprises a casing, a first filter element, and a plurality of functional filter elements.

The casing includes a base, a drain valve disposed on the base and closable, and a cover detachably fixed to the base and surrounding the base to define a housing, the functions The filter elements are disposed in parallel with each other within the chamber. The first filter element is detachably disposed on the base and outside the chamber, and includes a light transmissive cylinder, a cylinder chamber located inside the cylinder and communicating with the drain valve, and an openable The cover of the chamber is closed, and a filter material is disposed in the chamber.

The utility model has the advantages that the process of inspecting, cleaning and replacing the filter element is convenient, quick and easy to operate through the first filter element which is permeable to light and exposed outside the casing, and the drain valve communicating with the barrel; The functional filter elements are connected in parallel, and the concentration of the beneficial substances in the water can be multiplied.
