In addition, in this embodiment, the base 11 includes a pressing member, the filter portion 12 further includes a valve plate that is arranged at the filter element water outlet 128 and capable of blocking the filter element water outlet 128, and the pressing member is capable of pressing the valve plate, so as to implement communication between the water outlet and the water outflow cavity 124. Specifically, when the filter portion 12 is dismounted from the base 11, the valve plate blocks the filter element water outlet 128, to limit outflow of water from the water outflow cavity 124. When the filter portion 12 is mounted on the base 11, the pressing member presses the valve plate, to implement communication between the filter element water outflow channel 14 and the water outflow cavity 124.

Thus, the water is prevented from flowing out from the filter portion 12 when the filter portion 12 is dismounted from the base 11.
As shown in
Specifically, the adapter structure 20 has a cylindrical structure arranged in the vertical direction. The raw water inlet 211 is located at an upper end face of the adapter structure 20, and the raw water outlet 212 is located at a side surface of the adapter structure 20.

The user drives the operation handle 24 to rotate, to drive the bypass valve 23 to rotate. The flow channel of the valve core is T-shaped, a first opening of the flow channel is opposite the second opening, and the remaining opening is the third opening. When the bypass valve 23 is in the purified water state, the water outflow channel 272 is blocked by the valve core, the first opening of the flow channel is arranged corresponding to an inner wall of the adapter structure 20, the second opening of the flow channel is arranged corresponding to the raw water outlet 212, and the third opening of the flow channel is arranged corresponding to the raw water inlet 211, such that the flow channel implements communication between the water inflow channel 271 and the bypass channel 273, and then implements communication between the raw water inlet 211 and the raw water outlet 212, and water can enter the filter portion 12 to be filtered. When the bypass valve 23 is in the raw water state, the bypass channel 273 is blocked by the valve core, the first opening of the flow channel is arranged corresponding to the water outflow channel 272, the second opening of the flow channel is arranged corresponding to the raw water inlet 211, and the third opening of the flow channel is arranged corresponding to the inner wall of the adapter structure 20, such that the flow channel implements communication between the water inflow channel 271 and the water outflow channel 272, and the water is directly discharged from the water outflow channel 272.
As shown in
Specifically, when the bypass valve 23 is in the purified water state, water flows into the filter portion 12, and then into the second flow channel 28 from the filtered water inlet 221. Since the water outflow channel 272 is blocked by the valve core, the water can be only discharged from the first adapter water outlet 222, and thus the user can obtain filtered bubbly water from the faucet 40. When the bypass valve 23 is in the raw water state, water enters the second flow channel 28 through the water outflow channel 272. Since the first check valve 112 is arranged at the water outlet, the first check valve 112 allows the water to flow from the filter element water outflow channel 14 to the second diversion pipe 60 and limits flow of the water from the second diversion pipe 60 to the filter element water outflow channel 14, such that inflow of the water into the filter portion 12 is limited, the water can be only discharged from the first adapter water outlet 222, and the user obtains unfiltered bubbly water from the faucet 40.

When the limiting member 73 is located at the limiting position, the first cambered segment 732 is in limit fit with the connection pipe body 711, so as to prevent the connection pipe body 711 from being separated from the limiting member hole 731. When the limiting member 73 is located at the mounting and dismounting position, the second cambered segment 733 cooperates with the connection pipe body 711, so as to enable the connection pipe body 711 to be separated from the limiting member hole 731.

The limiting member 73 can move in the preset direction b, such that the limiting member 73 can be switched between the limiting position and the mounting and dismounting position. When it is necessary to connect the connection member 71 and the mounting seat body 72, the limiting member 73 is located at the mounting and dismounting position first, such that the connection pipe body 711 can be inserted into the mounting seat body hole 720 and the limiting member hole 731. Then, the limiting member 73 is switched to the limiting position, and since the radius of the first cambered segment 732 is less than or equal to the radius of the outer surface of the connection pipe body 711, the first cambered segment 732 can be in limit fit with the connection pipe body 711, the connection pipe body 711 will not be separated from the limiting member hole 731, and the connection member 71 is stably connected with the mounting seat body 72. When it is necessary to separate the connection member 71 from the mounting seat body 72, the limiting member 73 is switched from the limiting position to the mounting and dismounting position. Since the radius of the second cambered segment 733 is greater than the radius of the outer surface of the connection pipe body 711, the connection pipe body 711 can be separated from the limiting member hole 731, and the connection member 71 can be separated from the mounting seat body 72. The user can switch the limiting member 73 between the limiting position and the mounting and dismounting position by only moving the limiting member 73 in the preset direction b, the connection member 71 and the mounting seat body 72 are connected with and separated from each other, operations of the user to connect the connection member 71 with the mounting seat body 72 or separate the connection member from the mounting seat body are simplified, and the user experience is improved.

Specifically, the mounting opening 15 is arranged on the base 11, and the adapter pipe 723 includes a third pipe body and a fourth pipe body. A first end of the third pipe body is in communication with the first pipe body, a second end of the third pipe body forms the water inlet, a first end of the fourth pipe body is in communication with the second pipe body, and a second end of the fourth pipe body forms the water outlet, such that the adapter structure 20 is in communication with the filtration device 10. The lock member 75 includes a lock plate and two incomplete circular holes provided on the lock plate. An opening is provided between the circular hole and a side wall of the lock plate, and a central angle between the opening and a center of the circular hole is an acute angle. One circular hole fits with an outer contour of one adapter pipe 723. When the lock member is mounted with the adapter pipe 723, part, corresponding to the lock plate, of the circular hole far away from the other circular hole can be elastically deformed in a direction far away from the other circular hole, such that the adapter pipe 723 can be squeezed into the circular hole. The lock member 75 has a simple structure.
It should be noted that the housing 121 has a cylindrical structure. As shown in
In addition, as shown in
Specifically, in this embodiment, when the bypass valve 23 is in the purified water state, water flows into the filter portion 12, and then into the first channel from the filtered water inlet 221. The water can be only discharged from the first adapter water outlet 222, and thus the user can obtain filtered bubbly water from the faucet 40. When the bypass valve 23 is in the raw water state, water enters the second channel through the water outflow channel 272, the water can be only discharged from the second adapter water outlet 224, and the user obtains unfiltered raw water from the lower end of the adapter structure 20.
The embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the disclosure, and various modifications and changes on the disclosure can be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the disclosure should fall within the protection scope of the disclosure.
