[0014] In the case of the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned pre-filter, one end of the second skeleton is fixedly connected to the drain valve body, and the drain valve body is sealingly and rotatably connected to the filter bottle housing.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a water purification device, which includes the pre-filter.

[0016] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the pre-filter of the present invention comprises a valve head housing, a filter bottle housing, a filter screen frame, a filter screen, a sewage discharge assembly and a first cleaning assembly. Among them, the valve head housing has a first flow channel and a second flow channel; the filter bottle housing has a chamber, and one end of the filter bottle housing is sealed and connected to the valve head housing; the filter screen frame is fixed in the chamber of the filter bottle housing; the filter screen is fixed on the filter screen frame, and the filter screen divides the chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber; the first chamber is connected to the first flow channel, and the second chamber is connected to the second flow channel; the sewage discharge assembly is located at the other end of the filter bottle housing; the first cleaning assembly is located in the second chamber, and the first cleaning assembly includes a first cleaning bracket rotatably connected to the first skeleton, and a brush and a blade are provided on the first cleaning bracket, and the end of the brush abuts against the inner wall of the filter screen. Through such a setting, when the sewage discharge assembly is in an open state, the water flow entering the second chamber impacts the blade and drives the first cleaning bracket to rotate so that the brush cleans the inner wall of the filter screen circumferentially, which is convenient for removing the deposited particles on the inner wall of the filter screen, and improves the cleaning effect of the pre-filter as a whole.

[0017] Furthermore, the first skeleton includes a support shaft with a hollow structure and an annular connection shell, one end of the annular connection shell is connected to the second flow channel, one side of the support shaft has a hollow bucket-shaped connection seat, the connection seat of the support shaft is fixedly connected to the other end of the annular connection shell, the other side of the support shaft is located in the second chamber, and the first cleaning bracket is sleeved on the support shaft; wherein, a first water opening is provided on the side wall of the annular connection shell, and the first flow channel is connected to the first water opening. Through such an arrangement, in the cleaning state, the water flow in the first flow channel can be diverted through the first water opening into the annular connection shell, and the diverted water flow can pass through the hollow connection seat on one side of the support shaft to drive the first cleaning bracket to rotate.

[0018] Furthermore, the pre-filter further comprises an annular flow guide cover, which is sleeved on the connection seat of the support shaft, and is fixedly connected to the filter bottle housing, and a second water inlet is provided on the annular flow guide cover, and the first flow channel is connected to the first chamber through the second water inlet. With such an arrangement, in the cleaning state, the water flow in the first flow channel can continue to enter the first chamber through the second water inlet to rinse the filter screen surface.

[0019] Furthermore, the sewage discharge assembly includes a sewage discharge valve body and an elastic expansion joint located at one end of the sewage discharge valve body, the elastic expansion joint is fixedly connected to the other end of the support shaft, and the connecting seat of the support shaft is axially movably connected to the annular flow guide cover; when the sewage discharge valve body is in a closed state, the elastic expansion joint applies force along the axial direction of the support shaft so that the annular connecting shell enters the second flow channel to block the first water opening. Through such a setting, when the sewage discharge valve body is closed, the first water opening on the annular connecting shell is blocked by means of the elastic expansion joint so that the raw water can flow through the first chamber, the filter screen and the second chamber in sequence, so that the pre-filter automatically resumes the normal filtering working state.

[0020] Furthermore, the annular flow guide cover has an inscribed annular step, the second water opening is formed on the annular step, the connecting seat of the supporting shaft has an annular edge, a protrusion is provided on the annular edge, and the protrusion is arranged toward the annular step.

Through such an arrangement, when the third water opening is relatively connected with the fourth water opening, the water flow in the support shaft can be radially sprayed toward and impact the deposited particles on the filter screen to separate from the filter screen to enhance the cleaning effect.

[0023] Furthermore, the pre-filter further comprises a second cleaning assembly located in the first chamber, the second cleaning assembly comprising a second frame and a scraper disposed on the second frame, the scraper abutting against the outer wall of the filter screen and / or the scraper abutting against the inner wall of the filter bottle housing, and the second frame rotating around the outer wall of the filter screen. Rotating the second frame facilitates circumferential cleaning of the sediment on the filter bottle housing and the filter screen at the same time, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0024] Furthermore, one end of the second frame is fixedly connected to the drain valve body, and the drain valve body is sealed and rotatably connected to the filter bottle housing. Through such an arrangement, the drain valve body is rotated to drive the second frame to clean the outer wall of the filter screen and the inner wall of the filter bottle housing, which is simple to operate and low in cost.

[0025] In addition, the water purification device further provided by the present invention on the basis of the above-mentioned technical solution has the technical effects possessed by the above-mentioned pre-filter due to the adoption of the above-mentioned pre-filter. Compared with the existing pre-filter, the cleaning effect of the pre-filter of the water purification device of the present invention is better. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] Based on the problem of incomplete cleaning of the existing pre-filter screen pointed out in the background technology, the present invention provides a pre-filter, which aims to install a cleaning component on the inner side of the pre-filter screen to thoroughly clean the inner wall of the screen, thereby improving the user experience.

[0044] Specifically, Figures 1 to 11As shown, the pre-filter of the present invention comprises a valve head housing 11, a filter bottle housing 12, a filter screen frame 2, a filter screen 3, a sewage discharge assembly 5, a first cleaning assembly and a second cleaning assembly. Among them, the valve head housing 11 has a first flow channel 1110 and a second flow channel 1120; the filter bottle housing 12 has a chamber, and one end of the filter bottle housing 12 is sealed and connected to the valve head housing 11; the filter screen frame 2 is fixed in the chamber of the filter bottle housing 12; the filter screen 3 is fixed on the filter screen frame 2, and the filter screen 3 divides the chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber; the first chamber is connected to the first flow channel 1110, and the second chamber is connected to the second flow channel 1120; the sewage discharge assembly 5 is located at the other end of the filter bottle housing 12; the first cleaning assembly is located in the second chamber, and the first cleaning assembly comprises a first cleaning bracket 6 rotatably connected to the first skeleton, and the first cleaning bracket 6 is provided with a brush 63 and a blade 62 located on the water-facing side, and the end of the brush 63 abuts against the inner wall of the filter screen 3.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, a water inlet interface 111, a water outlet interface 112 and a threaded connection cover on one side are formed on the valve head housing 11 of the pre-filter of the present invention, the second flow channel 1120 is located at the center of the threaded connection cover, and the first flow channel 1110 surrounds the second flow channel 1120. The first flow channel 1110 is communicated with the water inlet interface 111, and the second flow channel 1120 is communicated with the water outlet interface 112.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the filter bottle housing 12 of the pre-filter of the present invention has an opening with external threads, and the inner wall of the opening of the filter bottle housing 12 is provided with four slots 121. In the installed state, the threaded connection cover of the valve head housing 11 is screwed and sealed to the opening of the filter bottle housing 12.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.11 As shown, the filter frame 2 and the filter 3 of the pre-filter of the present invention are both cylindrical structures, and the filter 3 is fixed on the outer wall of the filter frame 2. Among them, the first chamber is formed between the outer wall of the filter 3 and the inner wall of the filter bottle housing 12, and the second chamber is formed in the filter 3. The first chamber is connected to the first flow channel 1110 of the valve head housing 11, and the second chamber is connected to the second flow channel 1120 of the valve head housing 11.

[0048] like Figure 8 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.11As shown, the sewage discharge assembly 5 of the pre-filter of the present invention is located at the lower end of the filter bottle housing 12, and the sewage discharge assembly 5 includes a sewage discharge valve body 51 and an elastic expansion joint 52 located at one end of the sewage discharge valve body 51. Specifically, the elastic expansion joint 52 is located in the second chamber, and a coil spring is sleeved on the outer side of the elastic expansion joint 52. The sewage discharge valve body 51 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the filter bottle housing 12 in a sealed manner.

[0049] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the first skeleton of the pre-filter of the present invention includes a support shaft 7 with a hollow structure and an annular connecting shell 9. The upper end of the annular connecting shell 9 is connected to the second flow channel 1120 in the valve head housing 11, and the inner wall of the lower end of the annular connecting shell 9 has an annular groove (not shown in the figure), and the side wall of the annular connecting shell 9 is evenly provided with four first water openings 91 in the circumferential direction, and the four first water openings 91 can all be connected to the first flow channel 1110 of the valve head housing 11.

[0050] like Figure 6 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.11 As shown, the support shaft 7 of the present invention includes a hollow body 71 and a connecting seat 72 located on the upper side of the hollow body 71. The hollow body 71 and the connecting seat 72 form a bucket-shaped hollow structure through four circumferentially distributed connecting ribs 74. The middle position of the connecting seat 72 of the support shaft 7 has an annular edge 73 and an annular convex rib located at the upper end. The annular convex rib is sleeved and fixed with the annular groove of the annular connecting shell 9 so that the support shaft 7 and the annular connecting shell 9 form an integral component. The lower end of the hollow body 71 of the support shaft 7 is located in the second chamber, and the side wall of the hollow body 71 is evenly provided with 3 groups of fourth water ports 711 in the circumferential direction, and the number of each group of fourth water ports 711 is 4.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the first cleaning bracket 6 of the present invention is a hollow sleeve 61, and the hollow sleeve 61 is sleeved on the hollow body 71 of the support shaft 7. On the side of the connection seat 72 close to the bucket-shaped hollow structure, that is, the upper end of the hollow sleeve 61, 16 blades 62 are evenly distributed circumferentially (that is, the blades 62 are located on the water-facing side). On the side of the connection seat 72 away from the bucket-shaped hollow structure, two groups of brushes 63 and two groups of third water ports 64 are axially arranged on the side wall of the hollow sleeve 61. Among them, the number of each group of brushes 63 is 4, the number of each group of third water ports 64 is 3, and the end of each group of brushes 63 is against the inner wall of the filter 3. Among them, after the lower end of the hollow body 71 is fixedly connected to the elastic telescopic interface 52, the hollow sleeve 61 is confined between the elastic telescopic interface 52 and the connection seat 72.

[0052] When the water flow impacts the blade 62 and drives the hollow sleeve 61 to rotate, the third water opening 64 on the hollow sleeve 61 is intermittently connected with the fourth water opening 711 on the hollow body 71. In this way, after the brush 63 cleans the inner wall of the filter screen 3, the water flow flowing into the hollow body 71 can radially wash the inner wall of the filter screen 3 through the fourth water opening 711 and the third water opening 64, so as to more thoroughly wash the sediment on the filter screen 3.

[0053] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.11 As shown, the pre-filter of the present invention also includes an annular flow guide cover 8, and four clamping protrusions 83 are provided on the circumference of the outer wall of the annular flow guide cover 8. The four clamping protrusions 83 of the annular flow guide cover 8 are respectively fixed in the axial direction with the four clamping grooves 121 on the filter bottle housing 12. The annular flow guide cover 8 has an inscribed annular step 82 and a second water through port 81 formed on the annular step 82. The number of the second water through ports 81 is 32, and the 32 second water through ports 81 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular step 82. The first flow channel 1110 is connected to the first chamber through the second water through port 81. In addition, the annular step 82 of the annular flow guide cover 8 is fixed to the upper end of the filter screen skeleton 2.

[0054] The annular air guide cover 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connection seat 72 of the support shaft 7, and the connection seat 72 of the support shaft 7 is movably connected with the annular air guide cover 8 along the axial direction. Specifically, the inner wall of the annular step 82 of the annular air guide cover 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connection seat 72 of the support shaft 7, and the connection seat 72 of the support shaft 7 can move up and down in the annular step 82 along the axial direction. After the support shaft 7 and the annular connecting shell 9 are assembled to form an integral component, the support shaft 7 drives the first water opening 91 of the annular connecting shell 9 to enter or exit the second flow channel 1120 to block or open the first water opening 91.

[0055] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the annular edge 73 on the connecting seat 72 of the present invention is located on the inner side of the annular air deflector 8 , and the annular edge 73 is provided with two protrusions 731 facing the annular step 82 , and the two protrusions 731 are symmetrically distributed on the annular edge 73 .

[0056] like Figure 1 , Fig. 9 as well as Fig.10 As shown, the pre-filter of the present invention further includes a second cleaning assembly located in the first chamber, the second cleaning assembly includes a second frame 4 and a scraper disposed on the second frame 4, the scraper abuts against the outer wall of the filter screen 3 and the scraper abuts against the inner wall of the filter bottle housing 12. Specifically, the second frame 4 is a cylindrical structure, the second frame 4 is provided with two groups of scrapers symmetrically along the radial direction, each group of scrapers has two scrapers, and the scrapers are arranged parallel to the axial direction of the second frame 4.

[0057] The scraper includes a first scraper 41 and a second scraper 42. The first scraper 41 is located on the inner side of the second skeleton 4, and the first scraper 41 abuts against the outer wall of the filter screen 3. The second scraper 42 is located on the outer side of the second skeleton 4, and the second scraper 42 abuts against the inner wall of the filter bottle housing 12. The lower end of the second skeleton 4 is fixedly connected to the drain valve body 51. When the drain valve body 51 is rotated, the drain valve body 51 drives the second skeleton 4 to rotate around the filter screen 3 in the first chamber, and then the outer wall of the filter screen 3 and the inner wall of the filter bottle housing 12 are cleaned with the help of the first scraper 41 and the second scraper 42.

[0058] When the drain valve body 51 and the water inlet interface 111 are opened and the water outlet interface 112 is closed, the pre-filter enters the flushing state. Since the pressure difference between the second chamber and the first flow channel increases after the drain valve body 51 is opened, when the water flows through the first flow channel 1110 in the valve head housing 11, the inlet water flow impacts and squeezes the annular edge 73 of the connecting seat 72 located in the annular flow guide cover 8, so that the connecting seat 72 drives the first skeleton to move downward as a whole. That is, under the drive of the connecting seat 72, the first water opening 91 on the annular connecting shell 9 withdraws from the inner wall of the second flow channel 1120, thereby connecting the first flow channel 1110 with the first water opening 91. In this way, the water flow in the first flow channel 1110 is diverted through the first water opening 91 into the annular connecting shell 9 downward and passes through the bucket-shaped hollow structure at the lower end of the connecting seat 72 to drive the first cleaning bracket 6 to rotate. That is, the water flowing out of the bucket-shaped hollow structure directly impacts the blades 62 to drive the hollow sleeve 61 to rotate, and the brush 63 on the hollow sleeve 61 cleans the sediment on the inner wall of the filter 3. At the same time, another part of the water flow in the annular connecting shell 9 enters the hollow body 71. During the rotation of the hollow body 71, when the third water port 64 is connected or misaligned with the fourth water port 711, the water flow can intermittently wash the surface of the filter 3 in the radial direction to separate the sediment from the surface of the filter 3.

[0059] In addition, by rotating the drain valve body 51, the second frame 4 is driven to rotate outside the filter 3, the first scraper 41 on the second frame 4 cleans the outer surface of the filter 3, and the second scraper 42 on the second frame 4 cleans the inner wall of the filter bottle housing 12. When the first frame is driven by water pressure to move downward as a whole, the protrusion 731 of the annular edge 73 abuts against the annular platform, so that the water flow in the first flow channel 1110 can continue to enter the first chamber along the second water opening 81 to flush the outer wall of the filter 3 and the inner wall of the filter bottle housing 12. The above-mentioned sewage after flushing flows out from the drain valve body 51 below.

[0060] Close the drain valve body 51, open the water inlet interface 111 and the water outlet interface 112, and the pre-filter enters the normal filtering working state. After closing the drain valve body 51, the pressure difference between the second chamber and the first flow channel is weakened, and the elastic expansion interface 52 of the drain assembly 5 applies axial force so that the first water opening 91 of the annular connecting shell 9 on the first skeleton enters the second flow channel 1120 to close the first water opening 91. Therefore, the water flow of the water inlet interface 111 passes through the first flow channel 1110, the second water opening 81, the first chamber, the filter 3, the second chamber, the bucket-shaped hollow structure, the annular connecting shell 9, enters the second flow channel 1120, and finally the clean water flows out from the water outlet interface 112.
