TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a water purifier, in particular to a water purifier capable of performing two-stage purification on raw water (or tap water). Further, the water purifier of the present application can also control the raw water to perform reverse washing on its first-stage filter element. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasing improvement of people's living standards and the increasing emphasis on health, people's requirements for the quality of domestic water are also getting higher and higher. However, the quality of tap water can also be affected by the external environment and the water supply pipeline. For example, the increase of sand content in the water source of tap water can cause the deterioration of the quality of tap water. The lack of cleaning of tap water supply pipeline network for a long time, aging of pipeline network, etc. can also affect the quality of tap water. Therefore, in many cases, tap water is not suitable for direct drinking. In order to solve the above problems of tap water, various household water purification equipment has appeared on the market, such as ultrafiltration water purifier, RO membrane water purifier, pre-filter, etc. to purify tap water. Among these water purification equipment, faucet water purifier is favored by many consumers because of its small size, easy installation and removal, and automatic purification of tap water under the water pressure without the need of electricity. However, the existing faucet water purifier also has many defects. First, most of the existing faucet water purifiers only use a single purification filter element, for example, only use a ceramic filter element, an activated carbon filter element or an ultrafiltration filter element to purify tap water. The faucet water purifier using a single ceramic filter element or activated carbon filter element is not completely purified because the pore size of the ceramic filter element or activated carbon filter element is relatively large, and the purified water obtained is not suitable for direct drinking. The faucet water purifier using a single ultrafiltration filter element to purify tap water is easily clogged and quickly becomes unusable because the pore size of the ultrafiltration filter element is relatively small. Especially in the case of poor water quality, the ultrafiltration filter element is easily clogged.
[0003] Chinese patent application No. 201811199228.2 discloses a faucet water purifier using microfiltration ceramic, activated carbon and ultrafiltration ceramic to purify tap water. When the faucet water purifier processes tap water, it first uses microfiltration ceramic to microfiltrate tap water, then uses activated carbon to filter the purified water generated by the microfiltration ceramic, and the purified water generated by the activated carbon is further filtered by the ultrafiltration ceramic to generate ultrafiltration purified water. However, the faucet water purifier disclosed in the invention patent lacks a flushing mechanism, especially a mechanism for flushing the microfiltration ceramic and the ultrafiltration ceramic, which will cause a large amount of impurities and microorganisms to accumulate on the surface of the microfiltration ceramic and the ultrafiltration ceramic membrane in a very short period of time, clogging the microfiltration ceramic and the ultrafiltration ceramic membrane. Even, the accumulation of a large amount of microorganisms can cause the faucet water purifier provided by the invention patent to smell bad after a very short period of use. Finally, the water inlet of the faucet water purifier is connected to the water outlet of the faucet. In other words, the water supply and water treatment of the faucet water purifier are controlled by the faucet switch, not by the faucet water purifier itself. This makes it difficult for the faucet water purifier to achieve functions other than water treatment (such as filtration). For example, controlling and adjusting the water flow of raw water flowing through the faucet water purifier and being treated by it.
[0004] Chinese utility model patent application No. 201220080023.4 discloses a faucet water purifier using ceramic and ultrafiltration filter cartridges to purify tap water in two stages. The primary filter cartridge of the faucet water purifier can preliminarily purify tap water, and the secondary filter cartridge further purifies the purified water generated by the primary filter cartridge. However, the faucet water purifier provided by the utility model patent application lacks a mechanism for flushing the primary filter cartridge and a mechanism for cleaning (or flushing) the secondary filter cartridge, which causes the faucet water purifier provided by the utility model patent application to also smell bad after a very short period of use. Finally, the water inlet of the faucet water purifier is connected to the water outlet of the faucet. In other words, the water supply and water treatment of the faucet water purifier are also controlled by the faucet switch, not by the faucet water purifier itself. This makes it difficult for the faucet water purifier to achieve functions other than water treatment (such as filtration). For example, controlling and adjusting the water flow of raw water flowing through the faucet water purifier and being treated by it. SUMMARY
[0005] The main advantage of the present invention is to provide a water purifier, wherein the water purifier of the present invention integrates a primary filter cartridge and a secondary filter cartridge, wherein the primary filter cartridge is adapted to purify tap water in a primary stage, and the secondary filter cartridge is adapted to further purify the purified water generated by the primary filter cartridge.
[0006] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein the raw water inlet of the water purifier is adapted to be directly connected to a raw water source, such as a tap water pipe. In other words, the connection between the raw water inlet of the water purifier and the raw water source, such as a tap water pipe, is no longer through an adapter of a faucet. Accordingly, the water purifier of the present application can independently control the flow of raw water to its filtering device.
[0007] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein the control valve of the water purifier is capable of controlling the size of the raw water (or tap water) flow to the filtering device of the water purifier. Further, the control valve of the water purifier can achieve stepless control of the flow of the water purifier to meet the different water usage requirements of a user or the water usage requirements of different users.
[0008] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein the control valve of the water purifier is capable of cutting off the flow of raw water to the filtering device of the water purifier, thereby avoiding the filtering device of the water purifier being subjected to water hammer from raw water (e.g. tap water) all the time, thereby improving the service life of the water purifier.
[0009] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein the control valve of the water purifier is capable of controlling the reverse flushing of the filter cartridge (e.g. tap water), thereby improving the service life of the filter cartridge of the water purifier.
[0010] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein the water purifier of the present application can be integrated with a faucet. In other words, the water purifier of the present application can be connected to a tap water pipe together with a faucet. Further, the water purifier and the faucet can be connected to a tap water pipe respectively, thereby forming a tee structure of the faucet, the water purifier and the tap water pipe. In addition, the integration of the water purifier with the faucet reduces the installation procedure of installing the water purifier and the faucet respectively.
[0011] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein the purified water generated by the primary filter of the water purifier of the present application can be provided to the user, and when the purified water generated by the primary filter is provided, it can be guided to flow through the outer surface of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments of the secondary filter, so that the outer surface of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments of the secondary filter is washed. Accordingly, the secondary filter is an ultrafiltration filter, and the ultrafiltration filter is an outer pressure type ultrafiltration membrane filament filter. Alternatively, the ultrafiltration filter is an inner pressure type ultrafiltration membrane filament filter, and accordingly, when the purified water generated by the primary filter is provided, it can be guided to flow through the membrane filament channels of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments of the secondary filter, so that the inside of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments of the secondary filter is washed. Those skilled in the art can understand that the secondary filter can also be a filter made of other materials, such as a ceramic filter, a carbon fiber filter, a PP cotton filter, or an activated carbon filter. Alternatively, the secondary filter is a composite filter made of multiple materials, for example, a composite filter composed of any two or more of ceramic, carbon fiber, PP cotton, and activated carbon particles.
[0012] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein the purified water generated by the primary filter of the water purifier of the present application and the purified water generated by the secondary filter are provided through different water outlets, so as to prevent the purified water generated by the primary filter from affecting the purified water generated by the secondary filter. In other words, the channel through which the purified water generated by the secondary filter of the water purifier of the present application flows is independent of the channel through which the purified water generated by the primary filter flows. In addition, the provision of the purified water generated by the primary filter and the purified water generated by the secondary filter of the water purifier of the present application is more in line with the usage habits of consumers.
[0013] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein the control valve of the water purifier of the present application can control the reverse flushing of raw water (e.g., tap water) to the primary filter, so as to improve the service life of the primary filter of the water purifier. It can be understood that the reverse flushing of raw water to the primary filter of the water purifier of the present application can improve the filtering effect of the primary filter, reduce the aggregation of impurities on the surface of the primary filter, and prevent the breeding of bacteria in the water purifier.
[0014] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein the purified water generated by the primary filter of the water purifier of the present application and the sewage generated by the reverse flushing are discharged through different water outlets, so as to prevent the sewage generated by the primary filter from polluting the purified water outlet thereof. In other words, the channel through which the sewage generated by the primary filter of the water purifier of the present application flows is independent of the channel through which the purified water generated by the primary filter flows.
[0015] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a water purifier, wherein purified water generated by a secondary filter cartridge of the water purifier and sewage water generated by backwashing a primary filter cartridge are discharged through different water outlets, thereby preventing sewage water generated by the primary filter cartridge from contaminating a purified water outlet of the secondary filter cartridge of the water purifier. In other words, a passage through which sewage water generated by the primary filter cartridge of the water purifier flows is independent of a passage through which purified water generated by the secondary filter cartridge flows.
[0016] Another advantage of the present application is to provide a control valve for a water purifier, wherein the control valve for the water purifier can control the water purifier to provide purified water generated by a primary filter cartridge, purified water generated by a secondary filter cartridge, and control discharge of sewage water, and the purified water generated by the primary filter cartridge, the purified water generated by the secondary filter cartridge, and the sewage water are discharged through different outlets.

Preferably, the second-stage filter element 23K of the filter device 20K of the water purifier 2 is an external pressure type ultrafiltration filter element. Correspondingly, each ultrafiltration membrane filament 231K of the second-stage filter element 23K forms a membrane filament channel 2310K, and the membrane filament channels 2310K of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231K are all in communication with the purified water outlet 2301K of the second-stage filter element 23K, so that the purified water produced by each ultrafiltration membrane filament 231K of the second-stage filter element 23K can flow to the third communication opening 203K of the filter device 20K under the action of water pressure.
[0238] As shown in the accompanying drawings FIG. 1A 、 FIGS. 2B-4D and FIGS. 10A-10BAs shown, correspondingly, when the filter device 20K of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application is used to treat raw water, the user can control the raw water to flow to the first communication opening 201K of the filter device 20K through the control valve 10K, the raw water flows to the raw water passage 2101K of the filter device 20K under the action of water pressure, the raw water is treated by the primary filter element 22K under the action of water pressure, the generated purified water flows to the water purifying passage 2201K, at this time, if the purified water in the water purifying passage 2201K cannot freely flow through the second communication opening 202K of the filter device 20K under the control of the control valve 10K, while the purified water generated by the secondary filter element 23K can freely flow to the third communication opening 203K, the purified water generated by the primary filter element 22K will be further purified by the secondary filter element 23K under the action of water pressure, and the purified water generated by the secondary filter element 23K will flow out of and be provided from the third communication opening 203K. Correspondingly, at this time, the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application is in a first purification working state. On the other hand, if the purified water in the water purifying passage 2201K can freely flow through the second communication opening 202K of the filter device 20K under the control of the control valve 10K, while the purified water generated by the secondary filter element 23K cannot freely flow to the third communication opening 203K, the purified water generated by the primary filter element 22K will flow out of and be provided from the second communication opening 202K under the action of water pressure. Correspondingly, at this time, the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application is in a second purification working state.
[0239] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, FIG. 1A 、 FIGS. 2B-4D and FIG. 10D As shown, further, the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application also has a backwashing working state, wherein when the water purifier 2 according to the present application is in the backwashing working state, the user can control the raw water to flow to the second communication opening 202K of the filter device 20K through the control valve 10K, the raw water flows to the water purifying passage 2201K of the filter device 20K from the second communication opening 202K under the action of water pressure, at this time, the purified water generated by the secondary filter element 23K cannot freely flow to the third communication opening 203K under the control of the control valve 10K, the raw water in the water purifying passage 2201K reversely washes the primary filter element 22K under the action of water pressure, the generated sewage flows to the first communication opening 201K of the filter device 20K from the raw water passage 2101K under the action of water pressure, and flows out of the first communication opening 201K under the control of the control valve 10K. It can be understood that the backwashing herein refers to that when the primary filter element 22K is washed, the flow direction of the raw water flowing through the primary filter element 22K is opposite to the flow direction of the raw water flowing through the primary filter element 22K when the primary filter element 22K purifies the raw water.
[0240] As shown in the accompanying drawings FIG. 10C Further, the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application also has a standby working state, wherein when the water purifier 2 according to the present application is in the standby working state, the user can control the raw water not to flow to the filtering device 20K through the control valve 10K.
[0241] Noteably, when the secondary filter element 23K of the filter device 20K of the water purifier 2 of the present application is an outer pressure type ultrafiltration filter element, and the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K can flow out of the second communication opening 202K of the filter device 20K freely, when the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K flows out of the second communication opening 202K of the filter device 20K, the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K will flow through the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231K of the secondary filter element 23K, so that the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231K of the secondary filter element 23K are washed by the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K. In other words, at this time, the filter device 20K of the water purifier 2 of the present application allows the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K to be provided while further using the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K to clean the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231K of the secondary filter element 23K. As known by those skilled in the art, a faucet water purifier directly installed on a tap water faucet is small in size due to the limitation of the space where it is used. When the faucet water purifier uses an ultrafiltration filter element, especially an ultrafiltration filter element with ultrafiltration membrane filaments as the main filter element, the ultrafiltration filter element is easy to smell and cannot be used continuously because of the aggregation of impurities such as microorganisms on the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments of the ultrafiltration filter element. The filter device 20K of the water purifier 2 of the present application allows the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K to be provided while further using the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K to clean the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231K of the secondary filter element 23K, thereby preventing the aggregation of impurities such as microorganisms in tap water on the secondary filter element 23K and preventing the secondary filter element 23K from smelling and being unable to be used continuously. In other words, the water purifier 2 of the present application solves the problem of the aggregation of impurities that cannot be discharged in time and causes odor when a conventional faucet water purifier uses an ultrafiltration filter element (or ultrafiltration membrane filaments) to filter water through the ingenious structural design of the filter device 20K of the water purifier 2, so that the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231K of the secondary filter element 23K have better filtering effect and prolong the service life of the secondary filter element 23K. More importantly, since the faucet water purifier is small in size, according to the structure of the conventional faucet water purifier, when it uses an ultrafiltration filter element to treat raw water such as tap water, it will be blocked in a short time. The flushing effect of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231K of the secondary filter element 23K by the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K of the water purifier 2 of the present application significantly improves the problem of the aggregation of impurities that cannot be discharged in time when a conventional faucet water purifier uses an ultrafiltration filter element (or ultrafiltration membrane filaments) to filter water, so that it is possible for a faucet water purifier to use an ultrafiltration filter element to filter and treat water. The greater significance of the water purifier 2 of the present application is that it can enable consumers to get rid of the conventional table-type water purifier which is large in size and expensive. In addition, since the primary filter element 22K of the water purifier 2 of the present application is preferably a ceramic filter element, the purified water filtered by the primary filter element 22K is not suitable for direct drinking, but it has undergone preliminary filtering and purifying treatment on raw water, and can be used for washing vegetables, washing and the like.

In other words, the membrane fiber channel 2310K of the ultrafiltration membrane fiber 231K of the secondary filter element 23K is connected to the first water chamber 2401K of the base 24K and the third communication opening 203K of the filtration device 20K through the purified water outlet 2301K of the secondary filter element 23K, so that the secondary purified water produced by the secondary filter element 23K can flow out from the third communication opening 203K.

[0257] As shown in the attached image. FIGS. 5A-6F and FIG. 10A As shown, the control valve 10K of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a first purification working position. When the control valve 10K is in the first purification working position, the valve core 12K of the control valve 10K forms a first connecting channel 1001K and a second connecting channel 1002K. The first connecting channel 1001K is connected to the first opening 1101K and the raw water inlet 1106K of the valve body 11K, respectively. The second connecting channel 1002K is connected to the fourth opening 1104K and the fifth opening 1105K of the valve body 11K, respectively. Further, when the control valve 10K is in the first purification working position, the second opening 1102K and the third opening 1103K of the valve body 11K are not connected. In other words, when the control valve 10K is in the first purification working position, the second opening 1102K and the third opening 1103K of the valve body 11K cannot be connected. Correspondingly, when the control valve 10K is in the first purification working position, raw water or tap water flows in from the raw water inlet 1106K of the valve body 11K of the control valve 10K under water pressure, flows through the first connecting channel 1001K to the first opening 1101K of the valve body 11K, and then further flows into the raw water channel 2101K of the filter device 20K from the first connecting opening 201K. The raw water flowing into the raw water channel 2101K is filtered by the first-stage filter element 22K, and the resulting purified water flows into the purified water channel 2201K. Furthermore, when the control valve 10K is in the first purification working position, the second opening 1102K and the third opening 1103K of the valve body 11K cannot communicate, thus preventing the purified water in the purified water channel 2201K from flowing freely through the second connecting opening 202K of the filter device 20K under the control of the control valve 10K. Therefore, the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K will be further purified by the secondary filter element 23K. The purified water produced by the secondary filter element 23K flows out through the purified water outlet 2301K from the third connecting opening 203K, and flows sequentially through the fourth opening 1104K, the second connecting channel 1002K, and the fifth opening 1105K, so that the purified water produced by the secondary filter element 23K can be provided through the first outlet 100K connected to the fifth opening 1105K. Preferably, the secondary filter element 23K is an ultrafiltration filter element. Accordingly, the purified water produced by the secondary filter element 23K is drinkable. It can be understood that when the control valve 10K of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is controlled to be in the first purification working position, the water purifier 2 of the present invention is controlled to be in its first purification working state.
[0258] As shown in the attached image. FIGS. 5A-6F and FIG. 10BAs shown, the control valve 10K of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application further has a second purification working position, wherein when the control valve 10K is in the second purification working position, the valve core 12K of the control valve 10K forms a third communication passage 1003K and a fourth communication passage 1004K, wherein the third communication passage 1003K is in communication with the first opening 1101K and the raw water inlet 1106K of the valve body 11K respectively, and the fourth communication passage 1004K is in communication with the second opening 1102K and the third opening 1103K of the valve body 11K respectively. Further, when the control valve 10K is in the second purification working position, the fourth opening 1104K and the fifth opening 1105K of the valve body 11K are not in communication. In other words, when the control valve 10K is in the second purification working position, the fourth opening 1104K and the fifth opening 1105K of the valve body 11K cannot be in communication. Accordingly, when the control valve 10K is in the second purification working position, raw water or tap water flows into the valve body 11K of the control valve 10K from the raw water inlet 1106K under the action of water pressure, flows to the first opening 1101K of the valve body 11K through the third communication passage 1003K, and further flows into the raw water passage 2101K of the filter device 20K from the first communication opening 201K of the filter device 20K. The raw water flowing into the raw water passage 2101K is filtered by the primary filter element 22K, and the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K flows into the purified water passage 2201K. At this time, since the second opening 1102K and the third opening 1103K of the valve body 11K are in communication through the fourth communication passage 1004K, the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K flows into the purified water passage 2201K, flows out from the second communication opening 202K, and flows through the second opening 1102K, the fourth communication passage 1004K and the third opening 1103K in sequence, so that the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K can be provided through the second water outlet 200K connected with the third opening 1103K. It can be understood that when the control valve 10K of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application is controlled to be in the second purification working position, the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application is controlled to be in the second purification working state.

Correspondingly, when the control valve 10K is in the backwashing working position, raw water or tap water flows in from the raw water inlet 1106K of the valve body 11K of the control valve 10K under water pressure, flows through the fifth connecting channel 1005K to the second opening 1102K of the valve body 11K, and further flows into the filter device 20K from the second connecting opening 202K. Under water pressure, the raw water flows into the primary filter element 22K from the clean water channel 2201K of the filter device 20K. After backwashing the primary filter element 22K, the generated sewage flows into the raw water channel 2101K. At this time, since the first opening 1101K and the drain opening 1109K of the valve body 11K are connected through the sixth connecting channel 1006K, the wastewater generated by the backwashing of the primary filter element 22K by the raw water flows into the raw water channel 2101K and then flows out from the first connecting opening 201K, and sequentially flows through the first opening 1101K, the sixth connecting channel 1006K, and the drain opening 1109K, so that the wastewater generated by the backwashing of the primary filter element 22K by the raw water can be discharged through the drain opening 1109K. It can be understood that when the control valve 10K of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is controlled to be in the backwashing working position, the water purifier 2 of the present invention is controlled to be in its backwashing working state.

Further, when the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K is rotated to the first equal part (the first area 2001K) of the second fluid control surface 1220K of the moving valve disc 122K directly opposite the second equal part (the second part 1202K) of the first fluid control surface 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K, the third equal part (the third area 2003K) of the second fluid control surface 1220K of the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K is directly opposite the fourth equal part (the fourth part 1204K) of the first fluid control surface 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K, so that the sixth channel 106K of the flat valve 10K is blocked by the first fluid control surface 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K, the seventh channel 107K is blocked by the first fluid control surface 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K, the first channel 101K, the second channel 102K, the third channel 103K, the fourth channel 104K, the fifth channel 105K, the eighth channel 108K, the ninth channel 109K, the tenth channel 1010K and the eleventh channel 1011K of the fixed valve disc 121K are blocked by the moving valve disc 122K respectively, and the flat valve 10K controls that raw water does not flow to the filter device 20K and also does not provide raw water or purified water to the user, and accordingly, at this time, the water purifier 2 is in the standby working state.When the movable valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K is rotated to the first fluid control surface 1220K of the movable valve disc 122K, the third section (the third area 2003K) of the second fluid control surface 1220K of the movable valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K is opposite to the third section (the third section 1203K) of the first fluid control surface 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K, so that the sixth channel 106K of the flat valve 10K is communicated with the first channel 101K, and the seventh channel 107K is communicated with the fourth channel 104K and the fifth channel 105K respectively, to allow raw water to flow from the raw water inlet 1106K, the sixth channel 106K, the first channel 101K, the first opening 1101K, the first communication opening 201K into the filter device 20K, and the raw water filtered by the primary filter element 22K of the filter device 20K flows into the purified water channel 2201K of the filter device 20K, the purified water filtered by the primary filter element 22K further flows through the secondary filter element 23K to generate secondary purified water, and the secondary purified water flows out of the third communication opening 203K through the purified water outlet 2301K, and then flows out and is provided through the fourth opening 1104K, the fourth channel 104K, the seventh channel 107K, the fifth channel 105K and the fifth opening 1105K, and correspondingly, at this time, the purified water device 2 is in the first purification working state.
[0283] As shown in the drawings FIGS. 11A-12FAs shown, preferably, the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application extend along the first fluid control surface 1210K, and the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K extend in the same direction, and the sixth passage 106K and the seventh passage 107K correspond to each other, so that the flat valve 10K is switched from the standby working position to the first purification working position, when the moving valve sheet 122K of the flat valve 10K is rotated to the sixth passage 106K coincides with the first passage 101K, the seventh passage 107K coincides with the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K at the same time; and the flat valve 10K is switched from the standby working position to the second purification working position, when the moving valve sheet 122K of the flat valve 10K is rotated to the sixth passage 106K coincides with the eighth passage 108K, the seventh passage 107K coincides with the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K at the same time. Accordingly, when the flat valve 10K is switched from the standby working position to the first purification working position (or switched from the first purification working position to the standby working position), the user can control the flow rate of the raw water flowing to the filter device 20K by adjusting the coincidence degree of the sixth passage 106K and the first passage 101K. Further, the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K extend along the first fluid control surface 1210K, and the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K extend in the same direction, so that when the flat valve 10K is switched from the standby working position to the second purification working position (or switched from the second purification working position to the standby working position), the user can control the flow rate of the raw water flowing to the filter device 20K by adjusting the coincidence degree of the sixth passage 106K and the eighth passage 108K. Accordingly, the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K correspond to each other, and the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K correspond to each other. It can be understood that when the user adjusts the coincidence degree of the sixth passage 106K and the first passage 101K, the coincidence degree of the seventh passage 107K and the fourth passage 104K (and the fifth passage 105K) is also adjusted accordingly; when the user adjusts the coincidence degree of the sixth passage 106K and the eighth passage 108K, the coincidence degree of the seventh passage 107K and the second passage 102K (and the third passage 103K) is also adjusted accordingly. Therefore, the user can adjust the water inlet and water outlet of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application, so as to realize the stepless flow control of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application.In other words, when the flat valve 10K switches from the standby working position to the first purifying working position or from the standby working position to the second purifying working position, the degree of coincidence of the passages (the sixth passage 106K and the seventh passage 107K) of the moving valve disc 122K and the passages (the first passage 101K, the second passage 102K, the third passage 103K, the fourth passage 104K, the fifth passage 105K and the eighth passage 108K) of the fixed valve disc 121K can be adjusted by rotating the moving valve disc 122K around the center of the moving valve disc 122K, so as to realize the stepless flow control of the water inlet and outlet of the water purifier 2. Preferably, the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K are both located inside the first passage 101K, the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K are both located inside the eighth passage 108K, and the second passage 102K is located inside the third passage 103K, and the fourth passage 104K is located inside the fifth passage 105K. Alternatively, the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K are both located inside the first passage 101K, the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K are both located inside the eighth passage 108K, and the third passage 103K is located inside the second passage 102K, and the fifth passage 105K is located inside the fourth passage 104K. Preferably, the first passage 101K, the second passage 102K, the third passage 103K, the fourth passage 104K, the fifth passage 105K and the eighth passage 108K are all arc-shaped, and the sixth passage 106K and the seventh passage 107K are both arc-shaped. More preferably, the first passage 101K, the second passage 102K, the third passage 103K, the fourth passage 104K, the fifth passage 105K and the eighth passage 108K all extend arc-shapedly around the center of the first fluid control surface 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K of the flat valve 10K, and the sixth passage 106K and the seventh passage 107K both extend arc-shapedly around the center of the second fluid control surface 1220K of the moving valve disc 122K. Most preferably, the first passage 101K, the second passage 102K, the third passage 103K, the fourth passage 104K, the fifth passage 105K and the eighth passage 108K all extend arc-shapedly around the center part 12101K of the first fluid control surface 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K of the flat valve 10K, the sixth passage 106K and the seventh passage 107K both extend arc-shapedly around the center area 12201K of the second fluid control surface 1220K of the moving valve disc 122K, and the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K correspond to the same central angle, and the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K correspond to the same central angle, so as to facilitate the stepless control of the water flow by the flat valve 10K.Optionally, the first fluid control surface 1210K is circular, and the second passage 102K, the third passage 103K, the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K extend along a tangential direction of the first fluid control surface 1210K. More preferably, the sixth passage 106K and the seventh passage 107K are arranged at two opposite positions of the dynamic valve plate 122K. More preferably, the sixth passage 106K corresponds to a circular central angle equal in size to that of the first passage 101K, the seventh passage 107K corresponds to a circular central angle equal in size to that of the fourth passage 104K, and / or the sixth passage 106K corresponds to a circular central angle equal in size to that of the eighth passage 108K, and the seventh passage 107K corresponds to a circular central angle equal in size to that of the second passage 102K, to facilitate the stepless control of water flow by the planar valve 10K. Most preferably, the first passage 101K, the second passage 102K, the third passage 103K, the fourth passage 104K, the fifth passage 105K, the sixth passage 106K, the seventh passage 107K and the eighth passage 108K correspond to circular central angles equal in size.
[0284] It can be understood that the first passage 101K, the second passage 102K, the third passage 103K, the fourth passage 104K, the fifth passage 105K and the eighth passage 108K of the planar valve 10K of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application are distributed on the first fluid control surface 1210K of the fixed valve plate 121K of the planar valve 10K, so that when the moving valve plate 122K of the planar valve 10K of the water purifier 2 rotates relative to the fixed valve plate 121K to switch the planar valve 10K from the standby working position to the first purification working position (or from the first purification working position to the standby working position), or from the standby working position to the second purification working position (or from the second purification working position to the standby working position), the moving valve plate 122K of the planar valve 10K can rotate relative to the fixed valve plate 121K to realize stable conduction of the flow passage even if the working position switching is not completely switched (or in the switching process). The main reason is that when the planar valve 10K is switched from the standby working position to the first purification working position or from the first purification working position to the standby working position, in the switching process, the sixth passage 106K of the planar valve 10K is always only in stable communication with the first passage 101K, and the seventh passage 107K of the planar valve 10K is always only in stable communication with the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K, respectively; when the planar valve 10K is switched from the standby working position to the second purification working position or from the second purification working position to the standby working position, in the switching process, the sixth passage 106K of the planar valve 10K is always only in stable communication with the eighth passage 108K, and the seventh passage 107K of the planar valve 10K is always only in stable communication with the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K, respectively. The sixth passage 106K of the planar valve 10K is always only in stable communication with the first passage 101K, the seventh passage 107K of the planar valve 10K is always only in stable communication with the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K, respectively, and the sixth passage 106K of the planar valve 10 is always only in stable communication with the eighth passage 108K, and the seventh passage 107K of the planar valve 10K is always only in stable communication with the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K, respectively, which ensures that there is no cross flow when the planar valve 10K is switched from the standby working position to the first purification working position or from the first purification working position to the standby working position, and from the standby working position to the second purification working position or from the second purification working position to the standby working position, thereby ensuring stepless control of the flow of water flowing through the control valve 10K during the working position switching process.
[0285] As shown in the accompanying drawings FIGS. 11A-12FAs shown, notably, when the user needs to switch the water purifier 2 from the backwashing working state to the second purifying working state, the user only needs to rotate the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K counterclockwise by one equal angle, so that the first area 2001K of the second fluid control face 1220K of the moving valve disc 122K is opposite the third part 1203K of the first fluid control face 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K; when the user needs to switch the water purifier 2 from the second purifying working state to the standby working state, the user only needs to rotate the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K counterclockwise by one equal angle again, so that the first area 2001K of the second fluid control face 1220K of the moving valve disc 122K is opposite the second part 1202K of the first fluid control face 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K; when the user needs to switch the water purifier 2 from the standby working state to the first purifying working state, the user only needs to rotate the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K counterclockwise by one equal angle again, so that the first area 2001K of the second fluid control face 1220K of the moving valve disc 122K is opposite the first part 1201K of the first fluid control face 1210K of the fixed valve disc 121K. In other words, the structure of the flat valve 10K of the water purifier 2 makes the backwashing working state, the second purifying working state, the standby working state and the first purifying working state of the water purifier 2 continuously distributed, so that the complete switching between the adjacent working states of the backwashing working state, the second purifying working state, the standby working state and the first purifying working state of the water purifier 2 can be realized only by rotating the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K by one equal angle. The switching mode between the four working states of the water purifier 2 determined by the structure of the flat valve 10K of the water purifier 2 makes the switching between the four working states of the water purifier 2 more in line with the use habits of the user and less likely to cause the user to switch the working state due to different rotation angles. It can be understood that, since the extension part 12102K and the edge part 12103K of the first fluid control face 1210K of the flat valve 10K of the water purifier 2 are quartered, the extension area 12202K and the edge area 12203K of the second fluid control face 1220K of the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K are quartered, accordingly, the water purifier 2, the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K is rotated by 90 degrees for each working state switching. In other words, one equal angle of the moving valve disc 122K and the fixed valve disc 121K of the flat valve 10K is 90 degrees.Optionally, the extension 12102K and the edge 12103K of the first fluid control surface 1210K are counter-clockwise bisected into the first portion 1201K, the second portion 1202K, the third portion 1203K and the fourth portion 1204K, and the extension area 12202K and the edge area 12203K of the second fluid control surface 1220K of the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K are counter-clockwise bisected into the first area 2001K, the second area 2002K, the third area 2003K and the fourth area 2004K. At this time, the structure of the flat valve 10K of the water purifier 2 of the present application is such that the first purification working state, the standby working state, the second purification working state and the backwashing working state of the water purifier 2 are continuously distributed, so that the switching between the adjacent working states of the first purification working state, the standby working state, the second purification working state and the backwashing working state of the water purifier 2 of the present application can be realized by rotating the moving valve disc 122K of the flat valve 10K by one bisected angle. In addition, as mentioned above, when switching from the standby working state to the first purification working state (or the second purification working state) of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application, the stepless control of the flow rate of the water inlet and outlet of the water purifier 2 of the present application can be realized by adjusting the degree of coincidence of the passages (the sixth passage 106K and the seventh passage 107K) of the moving valve disc 122K and the passages (the first passage 101K, the second passage 102K, the third passage 103K, the fourth passage 104K, the fifth passage 105K and the eighth passage 108K) of the fixed valve disc 121K. However, when switching from the standby working state to the first purification working state (or the second purification working state) of the water purifier 2 of the present application, the state switching can also be realized by rotating the moving valve disc 122K by one bisected angle, so that the sixth passage 106K of the moving valve disc 122K is directly opposite the first passage 101K (or the eighth passage 108K) of the fixed valve disc 121, and the seventh passage 107K is directly opposite the fourth passage 104K and the fifth passage 105K (or the second passage 102K and the third passage 103K). At this time, the flow rate of the water inlet and outlet of the water purifier 2 of the present application is the largest.

Further, when the control valve 10T is in the first purifying working position, the second opening 1102K and the third opening 1103K of the valve body 11K are not in communication. In other words, when the control valve 10T is in the first purifying working position, the second opening 1102K and the third opening 1103K of the valve body 11K cannot be in communication. Accordingly, when the control valve 10T is in the first purifying working position, raw water or tap water flows into the control valve 10T from the raw water inlet 1106K of the valve body 11K under the action of water pressure, and then flows to the first opening 1101K of the valve body 11K through the first communication passage 1001T, so as to further flow into the raw water passage 2101K of the filter device 20K from the first communication opening 201K of the filter device 20K. The raw water flowing into the raw water passage 2101K is filtered by the primary filter element 22K, and then the purified water generated by the primary filter element 22K flows into the purified water passage 2201K. Further, when the control valve 10T is in the first purifying working position, the second opening 1102K and the third opening 1103K of the valve body 11K cannot be in communication, so that the purified water in the purified water passage 2201K cannot flow freely through the second communication opening 202K of the filter device 20K under the control of the control valve 10T. Therefore, the purified water generated by the primary filter element 22K is further purified by the secondary filter element 23K, and the purified water generated by the secondary filter element 23K flows out from the third communication opening 203K through the purified water outlet 2301K, and then flows through the fourth opening 1104K, the second communication passage 1002T and the fifth opening 1105K in sequence, so that the purified water generated by the secondary filter element 23K can be provided through the first water outlet 100K which is in communication with the fifth opening 1105K.

Further, when the control valve 10T is in the second purification working position, the fourth opening 1104K and the fifth opening 1105K of the valve body 11K are not in communication. In other words, when the control valve 10T is in the second purification working position, the fourth opening 1104K and the fifth opening 1105K of the valve body 11K cannot be in communication. Accordingly, when the control valve 10T is in the second purification working position, raw water or tap water flows into the valve body 11K of the control valve 10T from the raw water inlet 1106K under the action of water pressure, flows to the first opening 1101K of the valve body 11K through the third communicating passage 1003T, and further flows into the raw water passage 2101K of the filter device 20K from the first communicating opening 201K of the filter device 20K. The raw water flowing into the raw water passage 2101K is filtered by the primary filter element 22K, and the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K flows into the purified water passage 2201K. At this time, since the second opening 1102K and the third opening 1103K of the valve body 11K are in communication through the fourth communicating passage 1004T, the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K flows into the purified water passage 2201K, flows out from the second communicating opening 202K, and flows through the second opening 1102K, the fourth communicating passage 1004T and the third opening 1103K in sequence, so that the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22K can be provided through the second water outlet 200K in communication with the third opening 1103K. It can be understood that when the control valve 10T of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application is controlled to be in the second purification working position, the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application is controlled to be in the second purification working state.

Under water pressure, the raw water flows into the primary filter element 22K from the clean water channel 2201K of the filter device 20K. After backwashing the primary filter element 22K, the generated sewage flows into the raw water channel 2101K. At this time, since the first opening 1101K and the drain opening 1109K of the valve body 11K are connected through the sixth connecting channel 1006T, the wastewater generated by the backwashing of the primary filter element 22K by the raw water flows into the raw water channel 2101K and then flows out from the first connecting opening 201K, and sequentially flows through the first opening 1101K, the sixth connecting channel 1006T, and the drain opening 1109K, so that the wastewater generated by the backwashing of the primary filter element 22K by the raw water can be discharged through the drain opening 1109K.

More preferably, the first passage 101T, the second passage 102T, the third passage 103T, the fourth passage 104T, the fifth passage 105T and the eighth passage 108T all extend around the center of the first fluid control surface 1210T of the fixed valve disc 121T of the flat valve 10T, and the sixth passage 106T (part of the extension area 12202T) and the seventh passage 107T both extend around the center of the second fluid control surface 1220T of the moving valve disc 122T.More preferably, the first passage 101T, the second passage 102T, the third passage 103T, the fourth passage 104T, the fifth passage 105T and the eighth passage 108T all extend arcuately around the center portion 12101T of the first fluid control face 1210T of the fixed valve plate 121T of the planar valve 10T, the sixth passage 106T (at the portion of the extended area 12202T) and the seventh passage 107T extend arcuately around the center area 12201T of the second fluid control face 1220T of the moving valve plate 122T, and the fourth passage 104T and the fifth passage 105T correspond to the same central angle, and the second passage 102T and the third passage 103T correspond to the same central angle, to facilitate the stepless control of the water flow by the planar valve 10T. Optionally, the first fluid control face 1210T is circular, and the second passage 102T, the third passage 103T, the fourth passage 104T and the fifth passage 105T extend along the tangents of the first fluid control face 1210T.

[0322] It can be understood that the first passage 101T, the second passage 102T, the third passage 103T, the fourth passage 104T, the fifth passage 105T and the eighth passage 108T of the planar valve 10T of the water purifier 2 according to the first embodiment of the present application are distributed on the first fluid control surface 1210T of the fixed valve plate 121T of the planar valve 10T, so that when the moving valve plate 122T of the planar valve 10T of the water purifier 2 rotates relative to the fixed valve plate 121T to switch the planar valve 10T from the standby working position to the first purification working position (or from the first purification working position to the standby working position), or from the standby working position to the second purification working position (or from the second purification working position to the standby working position), the moving valve plate 122T of the planar valve 10T can rotate relative to the fixed valve plate 121T to realize stable conduction of the flow passage even if the working position switching is not completely switched (or in the switching process). The main reason is that when the planar valve 10T is switched from the standby working position to the first purification working position or from the first purification working position to the standby working position, the sixth passage 106T of the planar valve 10T is always stably communicated with the raw water inlet passage 1012T and the first passage 101T, respectively, and the seventh passage 107T of the planar valve 10T is always stably communicated with the fourth passage 104T and the fifth passage 105T, respectively; when the planar valve 10T is switched from the standby working position to the second purification working position or from the second purification working position to the standby working position, the sixth passage 106T of the planar valve 10T is always stably communicated with the raw water inlet passage 1012T and the eighth passage 108T, respectively, and the seventh passage 107T of the planar valve 10T is always stably communicated with the second passage 102T and the third passage 103T, respectively. The sixth passage 106T of the planar valve 10T is always stably communicated with the raw water inlet passage 1012T and the first passage 101T, respectively, and the seventh passage 107T of the planar valve 10T is always stably communicated with the fourth passage 104T and the fifth passage 105T, respectively, and the sixth passage 106T of the planar valve 10T is always stably communicated with the raw water inlet passage 1012T and the eighth passage 108T, respectively, and the seventh passage 107T of the planar valve 10T is always stably communicated with the second passage 102T and the third passage 103T, respectively, which ensures that there is no cross flow when the planar valve 10T is switched from the standby working position to the first purification working position or from the first purification working position to the standby working position, and from the standby working position to the second purification working position or from the second purification working position to the standby working position, thereby ensuring stepless control of the flow of water flowing through the control valve 10T during the working position switching process.
[0323] As shown in the accompanying drawings FIGS. 24A-24FAs shown, notably, when the user needs to switch the water purifier 2 from the backwashing working state to the second purifying working state, the user only needs to rotate the moving valve disc 122T of the flat valve 10T counterclockwise by one equal angle, so that the first area 2001T of the second fluid control face 1220T of the moving valve disc 122T is opposite to the third part 1203T of the first fluid control face 1210T of the fixed valve disc 121T; when the user needs to switch the water purifier 2 from the second purifying working state to the standby working state, the user only needs to rotate the moving valve disc 122T of the flat valve 10T counterclockwise by one equal angle again, so that the first area 2001T of the second fluid control face 1220T of the moving valve disc 122T is opposite to the second part 1202T of the first fluid control face 1210T of the fixed valve disc 121T; when the user needs to switch the water purifier 2 from the standby working state to the first purifying working state, the user only needs to rotate the moving valve disc 122T of the flat valve 10T counterclockwise by one equal angle again, so that the first area 2001T of the second fluid control face 1220T of the moving valve disc 122T is opposite to the first part 1201T of the first fluid control face 1210T of the fixed valve disc 121T. In other words, the structure of the flat valve 10T of the water purifier 2 makes the backwashing working state, the second purifying working state, the standby working state and the first purifying working state of the water purifier 2 continuously distributed, so that the switching between the adjacent working states of the backwashing working state, the second purifying working state, the standby working state and the first purifying working state of the water purifier 2 can be realized by rotating the moving valve disc 122T of the flat valve 10T by one equal angle. The switching mode between the four working states of the water purifier 2 determined by the structure of the flat valve 10T of the water purifier 2 makes the switching between the four working states of the water purifier 2 more in line with the use habits of the user and less likely to cause the user to switch the working state due to different rotation angles. It can be understood that, since the extension part 12102T and the edge part 12103T of the first fluid control face 1210T of the flat valve 10T of the water purifier 2 are quartered, the extension area 12202T and the edge area 12203T of the second fluid control face 1220T of the moving valve disc 122T of the flat valve 10T are quartered, accordingly, the water purifier 2, the moving valve disc 122T of the flat valve 10T is rotated by 90 degrees for each working state switching. In other words, one equal angle of the moving valve disc 122T and the fixed valve disc 121T of the flat valve 10T is 90 degrees.Optionally, the extension part 12102T and the edge part 12103T of the first fluid control face 1210T are counter-clockwise bisected into the first part 1201T, the second part 1202T, the third part 1203T and the fourth part 1204T, the extension area 12202T and the edge area 12203T of the second fluid control face 1220T of the moving valve disc 122T of the flat valve 10T are counter-clockwise bisected into the first area 2001T, the second area 2002T, the third area 2003T and the fourth area 2004T. At this time, the structure of the flat valve 10T of the water purifier 2 of the present application is such that the four working states of the first purification working state, the standby working state, the second purification working state and the backwashing working state of the water purifier 2 are continuously distributed, so that the switching between the adjacent working states of the first purification working state, the standby working state, the second purification working state and the backwashing working state of the water purifier 2 of the present application can be realized by rotating the moving valve disc 122T of the flat valve 10T by one bisected angle. In addition, as mentioned above, when switching the water purifier 2 of the first embodiment of the present application from the standby working state to the first purification working state (or the second purification working state), the stepless control of the flow rate of the water inlet and outlet of the water purifier 2 of the present application can be realized by adjusting the degree of coincidence of the passages (the sixth passage 106T and the seventh passage 107T) of the moving valve disc 122T and the passages (the first passage 101T, the second passage 102T, the third passage 103T, the fourth passage 104T, the fifth passage 105T and the eighth passage 108T) of the fixed valve disc 121T. However, when the water purifier 2 of the present application switches from the standby working state to the first purification working state (or the second purification working state), the state switching can also be realized by rotating the moving valve disc 122T by one bisected angle, so that the sixth passage 106T (part in the extension area 12202T) of the moving valve disc 122T is directly opposite the first passage 101T (or the eighth passage 108T) of the fixed valve disc 121, and the seventh passage 107T is directly opposite the fourth passage 104T and the fifth passage 105T (or the second passage 102T and the third passage 103T). At this time, the flow rate of the water inlet and outlet of the water purifier 2 of the present application is the largest. It can be understood that the water purifier 2 can also be quickly switched from the first purification working state to the standby working state (or from the second purification working state to the standby working state) by rotating by one bisected angle, and the water purifier 2 can also be quickly switched from the standby working state to the first purification working state (or from the standby working state to the second purification working state) by rotating by one bisected angle.

[0325] Referring to the drawings of the specification FIGS. 28-40C , a water purifier 2 according to a second embodiment of the present application is illustrated, wherein the water purifier 2 of the present application comprises a control valve 10 and a filtering device 20, wherein the control valve 10 is arranged for controlling the flow of water, such as controlling the supply of raw water (or tap water) to the filtering device 20 and controlling the supply of purified water generated or produced by the filtering device 20.
[0326] As shown in the drawings of the specification FIGS. 28-40C , the filtering device 20 of the water purifier 2 according to the second embodiment of the present application comprises a housing 21, a primary filter element 22 and a secondary filter element 23, wherein the housing 21 forms a first accommodating cavity 210, the primary filter element 22 forms a second accommodating cavity 220, wherein the primary filter element 22 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 210 of the housing 21, the secondary filter element 23 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity 220 of the primary filter element 22, and the housing 21 and the primary filter element 22 form a raw water passage 2101 therebetween, the primary filter element 22 and the secondary filter element 23 form a purified water passage 2201 therebetween (the purified water passage 2201 can be regarded as a part of the second accommodating cavity 220), and the secondary filter element 23 has a purified water outlet 2301. Accordingly, since the secondary filter element 23 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity 220 of the primary filter element 22, when raw water flows from the raw water passage 2101 under the action of water pressure, after being treated by the primary filter element 22, the purified water generated by the primary filter element 22 can flow to the secondary filter element 23 under the action of water pressure and be treated by the secondary filter element 23 to obtain secondary purified water, and the secondary purified water flows out from the purified water outlet 2301 under the action of water pressure to be supplied. Preferably, the primary filter element 22 is a ceramic filter element, and the secondary filter element 23 is an external pressure type ultrafiltration filter element, wherein the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231 of the secondary filter element 23 are arranged in the second accommodating cavity 220 of the primary filter element 22, so that the purified water passage 2201 is formed between the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231 of the secondary filter element 23 and the primary filter element 22. Therefore, the purified water generated by the primary filter element 22 can be further treated by the secondary filter element 23 under the action of water pressure, so as to obtain more purified water (or ultrafiltration filtered water). It can be understood that the primary filter element can also be a filter element made of other materials, or a composite filter element made of multiple materials, such as a composite filter element composed of any two or more than two materials of ceramic, carbon fiber, PP cotton and activated carbon particles.
[0327] As shown in the drawings of the specification FIGS. 28-40CAs shown, the filter device 20 of the water purifier 2 according to the second embodiment of the present application has a first communication opening 201, a second communication opening 202 and a third communication opening 203, wherein the first communication opening 201 of the filter device 20 is communicated with the raw water channel 2101 of the filter device 20, so that the control valve 10 can provide raw water to the filter device 20 through the first communication opening 201, the second communication opening 202 of the filter device 20 is communicated with the purified water channel 2201, so that the purified water produced by the first-stage filter element 22 from the treatment of raw water can flow to a second water outlet 200 of the water purifier 2 under the control of the control valve 10 and be provided to the user, and the third communication opening 203 of the filter device 20 is communicated with the purified water outlet 2301 of the second-stage filter element 23, so that the purified water produced by the second-stage filter element 23 can flow out through the third communication opening 203 and be provided to the user through a first water outlet 100 of the water purifier 2 under the control of the control valve 10. Preferably, the second-stage filter element 23 of the filter device 20 of the water purifier 2 is an external pressure type ultrafiltration filter element. Correspondingly, each ultrafiltration membrane wire 231 of the second-stage filter element 23 forms a membrane wire channel 2310, and the membrane wire channels 2310 of the ultrafiltration membrane wires 231 are all communicated with the purified water outlet 2301 of the second-stage filter element 23, so that the purified water produced by each ultrafiltration membrane wire 231 of the second-stage filter element 23 can flow to the third communication opening 203 of the filter device 20 under the action of water pressure.
[0328] As shown in the accompanying drawings FIGS. 28-40CAs shown, when the filter device 20 of the water purifier 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is used to treat raw water, the user can control the raw water to flow to the first connecting opening 201 of the filter device 20 through the control valve 10. Under the action of water pressure, the raw water flows to the raw water channel 2101 of the filter device 20. Under the action of water pressure, the raw water is treated by the first-stage filter element 22, and the purified water generated flows to the purified water channel 2201. At this time, if the purified water in the purified water channel 2201 can flow freely through the second connecting opening 202 of the filter device 20 under the control of the control valve 10, and the purified water generated by the second-stage filter element 23 cannot flow freely to the third connecting opening 203, then the purified water generated by the first-stage filter element 22 will flow out from the second connecting opening 202 and be provided under the action of water pressure. Accordingly, the water purifier 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is in a filtration working state at this time. On the other hand, if the purified water in the water purification channel 2201 cannot flow freely through the second connecting opening 202 of the filter device 20 under the control of the control valve 10, but the purified water produced by the secondary filter element 23 can flow freely to the third connecting opening 203, then the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22 will be further purified by the secondary filter element 23 under water pressure, and the purified water produced by the secondary filter element 23 will flow out from the third connecting opening 203 and be supplied. Accordingly, at this time, the water purifier 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is in an ultrafiltration working state. As shown in the attached figures... FIGS. 28-40C As shown, the water purifier 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention further has a raw water supply working state, wherein when the water purifier 2 of the present invention is in the raw water supply working state, the user can control the raw water to flow directly to a raw water outlet through the control valve 10 so as to be supplied, without passing through the filter device 20 and being purified by it.
[0329] Noteably, when the secondary filter element 23 of the filter device 20 of the water purifier 2 of the present application is an outer pressure type ultrafiltration filter element, and the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22 can flow out of the second communication opening 202 of the filter device 20 freely, when the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22 flows out of the second communication opening 202 of the filter device 20, the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22 will flow through the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231 of the secondary filter element 23, so that the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231 of the secondary filter element 23 are washed by the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22. In other words, at this time, the filter device 20 of the water purifier 2 of the present application allows the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22 to be provided while further using the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22 to clean the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231 of the secondary filter element 23. As known by those skilled in the art, a faucet water purifier directly installed on a tap water faucet is small in size due to the limitation of the space where it is used. When the faucet water purifier uses an ultrafiltration filter element, especially an ultrafiltration filter element with ultrafiltration membrane filaments as the main filter element, the ultrafiltration filter element is easy to smell and cannot be used continuously because of the aggregation of impurities such as microorganisms on the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments of the ultrafiltration filter element. The filter device 20 of the water purifier 2 of the present application allows the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22 to be provided while further using the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22 to clean the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231 of the secondary filter element 23, thereby preventing the aggregation of impurities such as microorganisms in tap water on the secondary filter element 23 and preventing the secondary filter element 23 from smelling and being unable to be used continuously. In other words, the water purifier 2 of the present application solves the problem of the aggregation of impurities that cannot be discharged in time and causes odor when a conventional faucet water purifier uses an ultrafiltration filter element (or ultrafiltration membrane filaments) to filter water through the ingenious structural design of the filter device 20 thereof, so that the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231 of the secondary filter element 23 have better filtering effect and prolong the service life of the secondary filter element 23. More importantly, since the faucet water purifier is small in size, when a conventional faucet water purifier uses an ultrafiltration filter element to treat raw water such as tap water, it will be blocked in a short time. The flushing effect of the ultrafiltration membrane filaments 231 of the secondary filter element 23 by the purified water produced by the primary filter element 22 of the water purifier 2 of the present application significantly improves the problem of the aggregation of impurities that cannot be discharged in time when a conventional faucet water purifier uses an ultrafiltration filter element (or ultrafiltration membrane filaments) to filter water, so that it is possible for a faucet water purifier to use an ultrafiltration filter element to filter and treat water. The greater significance of the water purifier 2 of the present application is that it can enable consumers to get rid of conventional table-type water purifiers which are large in size and expensive. In addition, since the primary filter element 22 of the water purifier 2 of the present application is preferably a ceramic filter element, the purified water filtered thereby, although not suitable for direct drinking, has undergone preliminary filtering and purifying treatment of raw water and can be used for washing vegetables, washing and the like.
[0330] As shown in the drawings FIGS. 28-40CAs shown, the filter device 20 of the water purifier 2 according to the second embodiment of the present application further comprises a base 24, wherein the secondary filter element 23 is disposed in the base 24, and the base 24 forms a first water cavity 2401, wherein the first water cavity 2401 of the base 24 is respectively communicated with the third communication opening 203 of the filter device 20 and the purified water outlet 2301 of the secondary filter element 23. In other words, the membrane channel 2310 of the ultrafiltration membrane wire 231 of the secondary filter element 23 is communicated with the first water cavity 2401 of the base 24 and the third communication opening 203 of the filter device 20 through the purified water outlet 2301 of the secondary filter element 23, so that the secondary purified water generated by the secondary filter element 23 can flow out from the third communication opening 203. Preferably, the third communication opening 203 is disposed in the base 24. More preferably, the secondary filter element 23 is disposed in the base 24 in a water-tight manner, and the first water cavity 2401 is formed between the secondary filter element 23 and the base 24.

In other words, the purified water channel 2201 of the filter device 20 is communicated with the second communication opening 202 of the filter device 20 through the second water cavity 2402 of the base 24, so that the purified water generated by the primary filter element 22 can flow out from the second communication opening 202. Preferably, the second communication opening 202 is disposed in the base 24.

FIGS. 28-40C As shown, the primary filter element 22 of the filter device 20 of the water purifier 2 according to the second embodiment of the present application is disposed in the base 24 in a water-tight manner, so as to prevent the raw water in the raw water channel 2101 from flowing into the purified water channel 2201. Further, the primary filter element 22 is detachably disposed in the base 24, so that the primary filter element 22 can be replaced. Alternatively, the primary filter element 22 is disposed in the housing 21 in a water-tight manner, so that the raw water can only flow in the raw water channel 2101. Alternatively, the primary filter element 22 is detachably disposed in the housing 21. Alternatively, the primary filter element 22 is integrally disposed in the base 24. Alternatively, the primary filter element 22 is integrally disposed in the housing 21.
