Abstract

A water filtration manifold integration device of a water filter has a body having multiple apertures and multiple water pathways respectively communicating with the corresponding apertures. By inserting in pins or inlet and outlet of each purification element in the corresponding apertures, all purification elements can be collectively mounted on the water filtration manifold integration device, thereby facilitating assembly and maintenance. Additionally, by arranging the apertures on a top of the body and the inlets and outlets of the corresponding purification elements on a side to replace multiple connection hoses of conventional water filters, the water filter can be organized to be neat inside and reduces human error during assembly of the water filter. The water filtration manifold integration device can serve as a standard part for a water filter.

Dependent claims

A water filtration manifold integration device of a water filter comprising:

a body having:
a top;
a side;
an internal portion;
multiple water pathways embedded in the body;
an inlet, a purified water outlet and a reject water outlet formed in the side and communicating respectively with the water pathways;
and
fifteen apertures formed in the top of the body, communicating with a number of the water pathways and including a 1st aperture communicating with the inlet through at least one of the water pathways, a 2nd aperture and a 3rd aperture, a 4th aperture and a 5th aperture, and a 6th aperture and a 7th aperture communicating with each other through at least one of the water pathways, a 8th aperture, a 10th aperture and an 11th aperture mutually communicating with through at least one of the water pathways, a 12th aperture communicating with the purified water outlet, a 9th aperture and a 13th aperture communicating with each other through at least one of the water pathways, and a 14th aperture and a 15th aperture communicating with the reject water outlet through at least one of the water pathways, wherein each aperture has an opening.
