[0037] A filter tube 104 is also connected between the waste tube 105 and the main pipeline 103 . One end of the filter tube 104 is connected to the water purification chamber of the main pipeline 103 , and the other end is connected to the waste tube 105 .

[0038] One end of the filter tube 104 connected to the waste tube 105 is detachably provided with a filter assembly, which includes a filter joint 109. The filter joint 109 has a round tube in the middle and discs with screw holes at both ends. The filter joint 109 is locked and fixed to the waste tube 105 and the two ends of the filter tube 104 by using the screw holes and screw pin discs. The diameter of the center hole of the disc at one end is smaller than the diameter of the round tube, and the diameter of the center hole of the disc at the other end is the same as the diameter of the round tube. A filter screen 110 is provided in the filter joint 109, and the filter screen 110 is inserted from the center hole of the large-diameter disc, and the disc at the other end blocks the filter screen 110, and then it is installed between the filter tube 104 and the waste tube 105 by using screws, and is locked by two sets of locking buckles 106.

[0039] The locking buckles 106 are divided into two groups, each group includes two upper and lower locking buckles, and each locking buckle is rotatably mounted on a support plate provided on the waste pipe 105.

[0040] The waste pipe 105 is provided with a waste port 107 , and a waste door 112 is rotatably mounted at the front end of the waste port 107 . The waste door 112 is rotatably connected to the movable end of a small cylinder 111 , and the small cylinder 111 is rotatably mounted on the waste pipe 105 .

[0041] Working principle of the present invention: When the main pipeline 103 is in normal use, both sides are connected to the pipeline, and the sewage flows from the right to the left. When in normal use, the butterfly valve plate 108 is parallel to the water flow direction in the main pipeline 103. Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the push ring 124 cuts off the connection between the main pipeline 103 and the return pipe 101 and the filter pipe 104. When the butterfly valve plate 108 is in the closed state, that is, perpendicular to the water flow direction in the main pipeline 103, the main pipeline 103 can be cleaned.

[0042] like Fig.11 As shown, when the butterfly valve plate 108 is closed, fine sand impurities in the sewage will accumulate near the right side of the butterfly valve plate 108. Over time, these impurities will easily accumulate into blocks, causing blockage in the main pipe 103. Therefore, the present invention provides a water purification chamber, and the sewage on the right side of the water purification chamber of the main pipe 103 can also be regularly cleaned.

[0043] The whole process is to start the reduction motor 102 to drive the butterfly valve plate 108 to rotate, the butterfly valve plate 108 drives the push rod 128 to rotate, the push rod 128 pushes the push ring 124 to slide, the push ring 124 opens the connection between the return pipe 101, the filter pipe 104 and the main pipe 103, the four fan-shaped plates 122 are closed, and the clean water chamber between the butterfly valve plate 108 and the fan-shaped plate 122 is connected to the return pipe 101 and the filter pipe 104. At this time, the sewage in the main pipe 103 is on the right side of the four fan-shaped plates 122.

[0044] The active end of the cleaning cylinder 116 is started to contract and drive the cleaning main rod 114 to rise, and the cleaning main rod 114 drives the spiral stirring blade 117 and the plugging plug 127 to rise, and the plugging plug 127 opens the connection between the waste pipe 105 and the main pipeline 103, and the sewage enters the waste pipe 105, settles, and is filtered by the filter net 110 and reaches the water purification chamber through the filter pipe 104.

[0045] The return water pump 121 is started, and the water from the return water pipe 101 passes through the one-way valve to the right side of the main pipe 103 again. The specific water flow impacts the one-way valve head 120, and the small spring 119 is compressed. The water will enter the main pipe 103 and reach the waste pipe 105 again for sedimentation and filtration. The previous step is repeated, and the sewage on the right side of the main pipe 103 is repeatedly filtered and precipitated, leaving the waste in the waste pipe 105. When a large amount of impurities and fine sand are accumulated in the waste pipe 105, the active end of the cleaning cylinder 116 is started to extend and drive the cleaning motor 113 to descend. The cleaning motor 113 drives the cleaning main rod 114 to descend, so that the blocking plug 127 descends, blocking the connection between the main pipe 103 and the waste pipe 105.

[0046] The cleaning motor 113 is started to drive the cleaning main rod 114 and the spiral stirring blade 117 to rotate, and the small cylinder 111 is started to drive the waste door 112 to rotate, and the waste port 107 is opened, so that the mud and impurities in the waste pipe 105 are discharged from the waste port 107. When the mud and sand in the waste pipe 105 are discharged, the waste pipe 105 needs to be cleaned, and the water source is connected from the cleaning pipe 125. The cleaning pump 126 pumps water into the waste pipe 105 to clean the waste pipe 105. When cleaning, the spiral stirring blade 117 can be used in combination, and the mixture of impurities and water will be discharged from the waste port 107.

[0047] After cleaning, close the waste door 112 and wait for the next use. The above cleaning needs to set the daily cleaning time according to the amount of sewage impurities. When the next sewage discharge is required after cleaning, the plug 127 is in a state of cutting off the connection between the main pipeline 103 and the waste pipe 105. At this time, start the reduction motor 102 to drive the butterfly valve plate 108 to rotate, open the fan plate 122, and the push ring 124 will block the connection between the return pipe 101, the filter pipe 104 and the main pipeline 103. The sewage cannot enter the above two pipes, and a large amount of sewage flows from right to left to other places.

[0048] The present invention repeatedly filters, precipitates and cleans the sewage on the right side of the butterfly valve plate 108, thereby preventing a large amount of fine sand impurities from excessively accumulating at the position of the butterfly valve plate 108, thereby agglomerating and affecting the opening of the butterfly valve plate 108.

[0049] Any matters not described in the present invention are applicable to the prior art.
