Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pre-filter and control method for top-controlled backwashing and sewage discharge, belonging to the technical field of water purification equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing pre-filters include: a valve head, a filter bottle connected to the upper end of the valve head, and a drainage assembly connected to the lower end of the filter bottle. A filter screen frame is installed inside the filter bottle, and a filter screen is fitted onto the outer wall of the filter screen frame. During use, water flows from the inlet of the valve head into the gap between the filter bottle and the filter screen. After being filtered by the filter screen, water flows into the center of the filter screen frame, and then from the center of the filter screen frame to the outlet of the valve head.

[0003] During the use of a pre-filter, it is necessary to periodically clean the impurities adhering to the filter screen surface in situ, and then discharge them through the drainage component. The efficient operation of the cleaning / scraping structure is crucial. In the existing technology, there are cleaning / scraping structures driven by motors, cleaning / scraping structures driven by impellers, etc., and backwashing is also an efficient means of cleaning the filter screen of the pre-filter. However, the existing cleaning / scraping structures do not yet have a drive motor set on the top of the valve head to control the switching between normal filtration and backwashing modes. In addition, achieving fully automatic cleaning and sewage discharge of the pre-filter is also a future development trend of this type of product. Furthermore, water leakage is inevitable during the use of pre-filters. When water leakage is detected, it is crucial to close the inlet and outlet channels of the pre-filter in time. Those skilled in the art have been exploring the use of a drive motor set on the top of the valve head to achieve valve closure when water leakage occurs (i.e., simultaneously closing the inlet and outlet channels). This invention solves the aforementioned technical problems and provides a pre-filter and control method with a more optimized structure and easy industrial implementation, featuring top control of backwashing and sewage discharge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The second objective of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing pre-filters by providing a top-controlled pre-filter for backwashing and sewage discharge, employing the aforementioned valve head structure. This pre-filter features automatic switching between backwashing, sewage discharge, and filtration restoration modes, and / or integrates a leak-proof valve shut-off protection function, enabling the water circuit to be shut off in the event of a leak.

[0005] One objective of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing pre-filters by providing a top-controlled method for backwashing and sewage discharge of the pre-filter. This method uses a single motor to control the backwashing, sewage discharge, and / or leakage protection valve operation, resulting in a compact structure, high degree of automation, and high reliability.

[0014] When the drive shaft moves axially from the initial position to the first limit switch position, the sealing part can close the water inlet channel of the filter frame and open the backwash water channel of the backwash filter screen, while the drain plug opens the drain channel of the drain chamber; when it moves axially to the initial position, the water inlet channel of the filter frame opens and the backwash water channel of the backwash filter screen closes, while the drain plug closes the drain channel of the drain chamber.

[0031] Step S2: The controller presets the parameters for starting and stopping the backwashing of the pre-filter. The parameters include any one or more of time, pressure, and flow rate, and configures an appropriate sensor to be electrically connected to the controller.

The sealing part closes the filter frame water inlet channel (11), and the backwashing water channel of the backwashing filter screen opens. The controller operates in backwashing mode. When the backwashing parameters reach the preset stop parameters, the drive motor reverses and the drive shaft moves axially upward to the initial position.

[0034] Step S5: When the operating parameters of the pre-filter reach the preset valve closing parameters under leakage conditions, the drive motor rotates and the drive shaft moves axially downward to the second limit switch position, closing the water inlet port near the water inlet channel (11) of the filter frame and the inner outlet of the water outlet port.

[0035] Step S6: When the operating parameters of the pre-filter reach the preset valve opening parameters under non-leakage conditions, the drive motor reverses and drives the transmission shaft to move axially upward to the first limit switch position to enter the backwashing mode, or directly moves axially upward to the initial position to enter the filtration mode.

[0036] The controller repeats control steps S4-S6 according to the operating status.

9. A control method for the pre-filter according to claim 1, characterized in that: The control method steps are as follows: Step S1: Assemble the pre-filter and adjust it to the initial position. Set the controller to the initial position as the filtration mode, the first limit switch position as the backwash mode, and the second limit switch position as the valve closing mode. Step S2: The controller presets the parameters for starting and stopping the backwashing of the pre-filter. The parameters include any one or more of time, pressure, and flow rate, and configures an appropriate sensor to be electrically connected to the controller. Step S3: The controller presets parameters for closing the valve when the pre-filter is leaking and opening the valve when it is not leaking. The parameters include any one or more of flow rate, flow velocity, and the duration of constant flow velocity, and configures an appropriate sensor to be electrically connected to the controller. Step S4: The pre-filter operates in filtration mode. When the backwashing parameters reach the preset opening parameters, the drive motor rotates and the drive shaft moves axially downward to the first limit switch position. The sealing part closes the filter frame water inlet channel, and the backwashing water channel of the backwashing filter screen opens. The controller operates in backwashing mode. When the backwashing parameters reach the preset stop parameters, the drive motor reverses and the drive shaft moves axially upward to the initial position. The sealing part opens the filter frame water inlet channel, and the backwashing water channel of the backwashing filter screen closes. Step S5: When the operating parameters of the pre-filter reach the preset valve closing parameters under leakage conditions, the drive motor rotates and the drive shaft moves axially downward to the second limit switch position, closing the water inlet port near the water inlet channel of the filter frame and the inner outlet port of the outlet port. Step S6: When the operating parameters of the pre-filter reach the preset valve opening parameters under non-leakage conditions, the drive motor reverses and drives the transmission shaft to move axially upward to the first limit switch position to enter the backwashing mode, or directly moves axially upward to the initial position to enter the filtration mode. The controller repeats control steps S4-S6 according to the operating status.
