Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a filter element and a water purifier with the filter element. Background Art
[0002] Water purification products are becoming more and more popular. Existing water purification products generally include pre-filter cartridges, membrane filter cartridges and post-filter cartridges. The pre-filter cartridge mainly filters large particles in the water, such as sand, rust, colloids and other substances. When the water quality in the area is poor, a large amount of particulate impurities will quickly block the surface of the pre-filter cartridge, causing the water flow of the water purification product to decrease sharply. Users have to replace the filter cartridge, and even replace the filter cartridge multiple times at short intervals.
[0003] Although there are also methods of manually disassembling and cleaning filter elements in the prior art, the manual method is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In order to solve this technical problem, a Chinese utility model with patent number ZL 202320115362.X (authorization announcement number CN218923993U) discloses a water purification filter element with a reverse cleaning function, which includes a shell with a filter element installed inside, and a water inlet and a cleaning mechanism are arranged at the top of the shell. By setting up a cleaning mechanism, when cleaning the filter element, the lower connecting piece is removed so that the water outlet pipe is separated from the water outlet. During this process, the shielding cylinder is reset by the elastic force of the connecting spring, and the shielding cylinder is reset to block the through hole, so that the water in the shell cannot enter the mounting seat through the through hole, and the sealing block moves out of the drain port. At this time, water can be introduced into the water outlet to clean the filter element, and the cleaned water is discharged through the drain port.
[0004] Although the above-mentioned water purification filter element can be cleaned by separating the drain pipe from the housing and injecting water into the housing in the reverse direction, the water introduced from the water outlet cannot ensure that the substances attached to the filter element will be washed away, so the flushing effect of this cleaning method is ineffective. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a filter element with better flushing effect in view of the above-mentioned prior art.
[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a water purifier with the above-mentioned filter element in view of the above-mentioned prior art.

[0017] To further improve the flow guiding effect, a third flow guiding member is further provided in the shell along the water flow path, which is located at the outer periphery of the water inlet end of the filter material and downstream of the first flow guiding member. The third flow guiding member includes a third flow guiding surface which gradually slopes downward from the inner wall of the shell toward the water inlet end of the filter material. The two ends of the third flow guiding surface form a third gap and a fourth gap with the water inlet end of the filter material and the inner wall of the shell, respectively. The fourth gap is used to allow the dirt deposited in the dirt receiving cavity to pass through, so as to improve the sewage discharge effect.
[0018] Furthermore, along the water flow path, a fourth guide member is provided in the shell and is located at the outer periphery of the water inlet end of the filter material and downstream of the third guide member. The fourth guide member is arranged adjacent to the third guide member. The fourth guide member includes a fourth guide surface which gradually tilts downward from the water inlet end of the filter material toward the inner wall of the shell, and the third gap is at least partially projected onto the fourth guide surface.
[0019] Preferably, the starting end of the fourth guide surface is substantially in contact with the water inlet end of the filter material, and a fifth gap is formed between the end of the fourth guide surface and the inner wall of the shell.
[0020] Preferably, the third guide surface and / or the fourth guide surface is an arc-shaped surface.
[0021] In order to further improve the flow guiding effect, the third flow guiding member and the fourth flow guiding member are at least one group, and each group of the third flow guiding member and the fourth flow guiding member are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the filter material.

[0024] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the second technical problem is: a water purifier, characterized by having the filter element as described above.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that: through the first guide member arranged on the periphery of the water inlet end of the filter material, the first guide member has a first guide surface which is gradually inclined downward from the inner wall of the shell toward the water inlet end of the filter material, and a first gap for fluid to pass through is formed between the first guide surface and the water inlet end of the filter material, so that the flow rate of water can be increased through the first guide surface, so that the periphery of the water inlet end of the filter material can be flushed, so that the filter element can be flushed more cleanly.
