The invention relates to a candle filter element which comprises an upper end cover, a lower end cove, a center pipe, a filter element framework, less than three filter frames and a filter fabric. A liquid inlet hole is formed in the center pipe and positioned at the bottom of the center pipe, a lower connector and the lower end cover are mounted at the bottom of the center pipe, the lower connector is positioned below the liquid inlet hole, the bottom of the center pipe is plugged by the lower connector, the upper connecting pipe and the upper end cover are mounted at the top of the center pipe, the upper connecting pipe is communicated with the center pipe, the filter element framework is provided with a circular pipe and sleeves the center pipe, filter frames uniformly surround the outer circumferential surface of the filter element framework, gaps are formed among the filter frames, liquid passing holes are formed in the filter frames and parallel to the axis of the filter elementframework, the filter fabric sleeve the filter frames, two ends of the filter fabric are fixed on the upper cover and the lower end cover through hoops, the filter frames are communicated with the upper end cover and the lower cover, and the lower end cover is communicated with the liquid inlet hole. The filter element is good in filtering effect, low in cost and wide in application range.
