Description


[0001] The present application claims the priorities to Chinese Applications No. 201820509893.6, 201810322956.1, 201820509892.1, 201820509862.0 and 201810322967.X, filed at Chinese Patent Office on April 11, 2018, and entitled "WATER PURIFIER", as well as the priority to Chinese Application No. 201820509891.7, filed at Chinese Patent Office on April 11, 2018, and entitled "WATER STORAGE DEVICE AND WATER PURIFIER", the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.

Technical Field



[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of water purifiers, and more specifically, relates to a water purifier.

Background



[0003] At present, the water purifiers which are commercially available, because of too small flow, needs to cooperate with a pressure barrel to store water and pressurize to ensure the flow of the water purifier. The pressure barrel with a sealed structure cannot be cleaned, and will be contaminated after long-term use, so it is unsanitary and cannot guarantee the freshness and cleanness of drinking water. The conventional pressure barrel is large in terms of volume, occupies a large space, and has high cost. Moreover, the water outlet of the conventional water purifier is directly connected to a user's faucet, and the container needs to be placed under the faucet when the user takes water, so it is laborious when the pot or kettle is heavy. At the same time, the user needs to wait for a long time when receiving the water.

Summary



[0004] The present disclosure aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the prior art.

[0005] Thus, one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a water purifier.

[0006] In view of this, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a water purifier is provided, including: a water purification assembly; a water receiving assembly connected with the water purification assembly by a pipeline; a water storage assembly arranged on the water receiving assembly, the water purification assembly delivering water to the water storage assembly through the water receiving assembly; and a sensor arranged in the water receiving assembly and being configured to detect the amount of water in the water storage assembly. When the sensor detects that the amount of water in the water storage assembly reaches a preset amount of water, the water purification assembly is controlled to stop delivering water.

[0007] In the water purifier in accordance with the present disclosure, water purified by the water purification assembly is delivered to the water receiving assembly by the pipeline, and then the purified water is delivered to the water storage assembly by the water purification assembly and stored to meet user's water demand. In addition, the sensor is arranged in the water receiving assembly to detect the liquid level in the water storage assembly. When the liquid level in the water storage assembly reaches a preset position, the water purification assembly stops delivering water, thereby realizing automatic water storage of the water purifier, preventing the purified water from overflowing the water storage assembly without user's guard to liberate the user. Moreover, the water storage assembly is placed on the water receiving assembly, and the water flowing out of the water receiving assembly directly enters the water storage assembly, so that the user can use the water as needed, the time for the user to wait for receiving water is reduced, and correspondingly, the dependence on a pressure barrel can be canceled. The solution that the water flows into the water storage assembly for a long time meets the requirement of the user for a large amount of water. Since the pressure barrel is canceled, the production cost of the water purifier is reduced, and the water contamination caused by the inability to clean the pressure barrel is avoided. At the same time, the water storage assembly is placed on the water receiving assembly, thereby avoiding complicated operation that the user needs to hold a kettle to wait for receiving water.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflicts.

[0103] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure can also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0104] A water purifier 1 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 32.

[0106] In the water purifier 1 provided by the present disclosure, water purified by the water purification assembly 10 is delivered to the water receiving assembly 20 by the pipeline 50, and then the purified water is delivered to the water storage assembly 30 by the water purification assembly 10 and stored to meet user's water demand. In addition, the sensor 40 is arranged in the water receiving assembly 20 to detect the liquid level in the water storage assembly 30. When the liquid level in the water storage assembly 30 reaches a preset position, the water purification assembly 10 stops delivering water, thereby realizing automatic water storage of the water purifier 1, preventing the purified water from overflowing the water storage assembly 30, and eliminating user's guard to liberate the user. The water storage assembly 30 is placed on the water receiving assembly 20, and the water flowing out of the water receiving assembly 20 directly enters the water storage assembly 30, so that the user can use the water as needed, the time for the user to wait for receiving water is reduced, and correspondingly, the dependence on a pressure barrel can be canceled. The solution that the water flows into the water storage assembly 30 for a long time meets the requirement of the user for a large amount of water. Since the pressure barrel is canceled, the production cost of the water purifier 1 is reduced, and the water contamination caused by the inability to clean the pressure barrel is avoided. At the same time, the water storage assembly 30 is placed on the water receiving assembly 20, thereby avoiding complicated operation that the user needs to hold a kettle to wait for receiving water.
