[0026] A number of cavity purified water outlets 102 are evenly distributed with the component housing 101 as the center, and a number of hollow nanofiltration membrane filaments 107 are evenly filled in each cavity with the component housing 101 as the center. The central tube 106 is located in the center of the component housing 101 and is connected to the housing through ribs, which not only ensures concentricity, but also successfully divides the housing cavity into several parts. Under normal water pressure of tap water, direct drinking water rich in minerals can be produced without electricity. The hollow nanofiltration membrane core component 1 adopts a bifurcated water channel design with a large water channel cross-sectional area, which successfully avoids contact with the membrane filament end face outlet, ensuring that the membrane filament is flushed without dead angles. The water flow in the component automatically flushes the filter element, continuously protects the filter element from being clean, extends the service life of the filter element, maintains the water flux of the filter element, reduces the risk of secondary pollution of the filter element, and does not generate wastewater, realizing the functional characteristics of "no electricity", "no water consumption", "no core replacement", "large flux", "no noise", "healthy direct drinking", "energy saving and environmental protection" and so on that cannot be achieved at the same time by existing ultrafiltration membranes, rolled nanofiltration membranes, and reverse osmosis membrane filters.
[0027] The main body 2 includes a shell 201, and a waterway cover 205 is installed on the upper part of the shell 201. A water inlet 202 is opened on the top of the waterway cover 205, a flushing water outlet 203 is opened on the top of the waterway cover 205, a purified water outlet 204 is opened on the top of the waterway cover 205, and a decorative cover plate 206 is installed on the top of 205.

When the water purification faucet is turned on, due to the effect of pressure, water is injected into the interior of the device through the water inlet 202. After entering the device, the water enters the various cavities inside the hollow nanofiltration membrane core assembly 1 below it through the double O-RING water channel joint 302 on the top of the upper cover body 301. After being filtered by the hollow nanofiltration membrane filaments inside the cavity, the purified water flows from the cavity purified water outlet 102 to between the assembly housing 101 and the shell 201, and finally flows into the water purification faucet through the purified water outlet 204 for discharge.
