The upper part is provided with a fifth movable groove 1091 and a sixth movable groove 1092. The fifth movable groove 1091 is horizontally set and the sixth movable groove 1092 is vertically set. The fifth movable groove 1091 and the sixth movable groove 1092 are connected. The movable rod 119 is provided with a protrusion 1191, which passes through the fifth movable groove 1091 through the third slot. The first connecting rod 111 is provided with a fourth slot on its side wall. The inner wall of the first movable groove is provided with a protruding plate 121. The top of the protruding plate 121 is provided with an inclined groove, and the movable rod 119 passes through the fourth slot.

[0049] The inner wall of the transfer box 101 is provided with a mounting block 118, which has a seventh movable groove and an eighth movable groove connected to each other. A support block 123 is provided in the seventh movable groove, and a push block 124 is provided in the eighth movable groove. A connecting spring 1241 is provided on the push block 124, one end of which is fixed to the inner wall of the eighth movable groove. The support block 123 and the push block 124 are connected by a second connecting rod 125. The top of the push block 124 has an inclined groove, and the push rod 115 is positioned above the push block 124. Block 124 is provided with a tenth movable groove, and movable block 126 is provided in the tenth movable groove. Movable block 126 is provided with an eleventh movable groove, and limiting block 127 is provided in the eleventh movable groove. The top of limiting block 127 is provided with an arc surface. One end of limiting block 127 is connected to airbag 128. The bottom of the eleventh movable groove is provided with a through groove communicating with airbag 128.

The connecting plate 1291 is fixed to the bottom of the tenth movable groove. The side wall of push rod 115 is provided with a groove 1151.

[0050] There is a gap between the support block 123 and the second baffle 113, which is kept in an inclined state. When water flows onto the second baffle 113, it impacts the second baffle 113 and flips it over. The second baffle 113 intermittently collides with the support block 123, shaking off the water droplets on the second baffle 113 and reducing the amount of water droplets remaining on the second baffle 113.

[0051] A cylinder 103 is provided on the top of the transfer box 101, and the piston rod 129 of the cylinder 103 is connected to the push plate 116.

[0052] The bottom of the transfer box 101 is provided with a second inclined surface, which is inclined toward the liquid outlet pipe 104. The water storage tank 109 is connected to a water pipe, which transports clean water into the water storage tank 109.

[0053] When hot water is circulating, the water flows into the transfer box 101 from the inlet pipe 102. The filter plate 108 rests against the bottom of the guide plate 105, and the first baffle 112 is on the side wall of the filter plate 108. The water flows along the guide plate 105 to the filter plate 108, where the filter plate 108 filters the water. The water flowing through the filter plate 108 falls onto the second baffle 113, which is in an inclined state. The water is guided by the second baffle 113 to the outlet pipe 104, and the filtered water is discharged from the outlet pipe 104.

[0054] When cleaning the filter plate 108, the cylinder 103 pushes the push plate 116 to move, and the protrusion 1191 is in the fifth movable groove 1091. Since the fifth movable groove 1091 is horizontally set, the slider cannot move in the groove. The water tank 109 descends together with the push plate 116, and the filter plate 108 descends below the guide plate 105. The first connecting rod 111 moves in the first movable groove. When the first connecting rod 111 descends, it drives the fixed rod 122 to descend. The protrusion 1222 moves to the bottom of the third movable groove and then abuts against the bottom surface of the third movable groove. The first connecting rod 111 moves relative to the protrusion 1222, and the fixed rod 122 is pulled out from the fixed groove. After the transmission wheel moves to the position of the transmission gear, it rotates under the drive of the transmission gear. The transmission wheel drives the connecting shaft to rotate, and the filter plate 108 flips 180° so that its bottom surface faces upward. When the first connecting rod 111 descends, it drives the push rod 115 to move downward. The push rod 115 abuts against the push block 124 and pushes the push block 124 to move into the eighth movable slot. The push block 124 drives the support block 123 into the seventh movable slot. The push rod 115 abuts against the side wall of the push block 124, and the limiting block 127 is inserted into the groove 1151 of the push rod 115. The push rod 115 continues to descend and abuts against the second baffle 113. The push rod 115 pushes the second baffle 113 to rotate, making... The second baffle 113 flips to a vertical position, at which point it moves away from above the receiving box 107, and the water falling from the filter plate 108 falls directly into the receiving box 107; the water pipe delivers clean water to the water storage tank 109. After the water storage tank 109 is full of clean water, the movable rod 119 moves to push the convex plate 121 into the fourth movable groove, and the convex block 1191 moves to one end of the fifth movable groove 1091 and into the sixth movable groove 1092. The first connecting rod 111 cannot descend, and the cylinder 103 pushes the push plate 116 downward. The push plate 116 squeezes the clean water in the water storage tank 109, and the clean water flows out... The water is squeezed out of the spray hole, and after the clean water washes the filter plate 108, the wastewater falls into the receiving box 107 and is discharged from the first and second discharge ports. After the push plate 116 moves to the bottom of the water storage tank 109, the cylinder 103 retracts the piston rod 129, the first support spring 114 pushes the first connecting rod 111 to move upward, the second support spring 117 pushes the push plate 116 to move upward, and the limiting block 127 abuts against the bottom surface of the groove 1151 so that when the push rod 115 moves upward, it drives the movable block 126 to move upward together, increasing the time that the support block 123 is in the seventh movable groove, so that the second baffle 113 has enough time to reset.When the movable block 126 moves to the top of the tenth movable slot, the piston rod 129 moves to the bottom of the through slot to extract the air from the airbag 128. The limiting block 127 retracts with the airbag 128 and enters the eleventh movable slot. The push rod 115 disengages from the movable block 126, and the movable block 126 falls into the tenth movable slot. The filter plate 108 flips back during its ascent. As the first connecting rod 111 rises, the fixing rod 122 re-inserts into the fixing slot to fix the filter plate 108, completing the reset of the filter plate 108.
