WATER PURIFYING APPARATUS AND REFRIGERATOR HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17976458 titled 'WATER PURIFYING APPARATUS AND REFRIGERATOR HAVING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The water purifying apparatus described in the patent application includes a head that connects to a filter and has a water inlet and a water outlet. Inside the head, there is a shaft that rotates and has a filtering passage connecting the water inlet to the water outlet, allowing water to pass through the filter.
- The shaft has a shaft inlet and a shaft outlet that connect to the water inlet and the water outlet, respectively, creating the filtering passage.
- The shaft also has water inlet blocking and water outlet blocking portions that shield the opened surfaces of the water inlet and the water outlet.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Residential water purification systems
- Industrial water treatment processes
- Portable water filters for outdoor activities or emergency situations
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a simplified and efficient design for water purification apparatus
- Ensures that water flows through the filter effectively without bypassing it
- Prevents contamination by shielding the opened surfaces of the water inlet and outlet
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved water purification efficiency
- Easy installation and maintenance
- Reduced risk of contamination and improved water quality
Original Abstract Submitted
A water purifying apparatus includes a head that is configured to couple to a filter and defines a water inlet and a water outlet, and a shaft provided inside the head, rotatably mounted between the water inlet and the water outlet, and having a filtering passage configured to connect the water inlet to the water outlet so that water introduced into the water inlet is discharged to the water outlet via the filter. The shaft includes a shaft inlet and a shaft outlet, which are opened to respectively communicate with the water inlet and the water outlet so as to define the filtering passage, and a water inlet blocking portion and a water outlet blocking portion, which are provided between the shaft inlet and the shaft outlet to shield opened surfaces of the water inlet and the water outlet.
