A pressure sensor 52 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the filter cup 2, which is used to monitor the water pressure in the filter cup 2 in real time. When the filter element 3 is seriously clogged, that is, the pressure sensor 52 detects that the water pressure in the filter cup 2 reaches the threshold value, the pressure sensor 52 will transmit an electrical signal, which will trigger the telescopic action of the traction electromagnet 51, so that the telescopic end of the traction electromagnet 51 drives the mode switching component to move downward, so that the water purifier changes from the water purification state to the backwashing state, so as to clean the impurities and dirt on the filter element and extend the service life of the filter element 3.

[0030] Specifically, the mode switching assembly includes a rotating sleeve 41 rotating on the outer wall of the filter element 3, and the mode switching driving member 5 is connected to the bottom of the rotating sleeve 41.

[0031] A water hole 42 is provided on the rotating kit 41. The rotating kit 41 is a barrel-shaped part. The water holes 42 are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the barrel-shaped part.

A first channel is formed between the upper seal 43 and the filter cup 2, and a second channel is formed between the lower rotating seal 44 and the upper seal 43. The portion of the rotating kit 41 located above the upper seal 43 will wrap the outer wall of the filter element 3, so that the water entering the filter cup 2 can only flow through the first channel and the second channel. Under normal conditions, that is, when the upper seal 43 and the lower rotating seal 44 are in a separated state, the water entering the filter cup 2 needs to pass through the first channel and the second channel to enter the inside of the filter element 3 to be filtered by the filter element 3, and then flow out through the water outlet end of the water purifier body 1.

[0032] When the filter element 3 is seriously clogged, the mode switching drive 5 can drive the rotating kit 41 to move downward along the outer wall of the filter element 3, so that the part of the rotating kit 41 located above the upper seal 43 exposes part of the filter element 3, and the upper seal 43 and the lower rotating seal 44 are fitted together to block the water passing through the first channel and the second channel, so that the water entering the filter cup 2 can only flow into the filter element 3 through the exposed part of the filter element 3 located above the upper seal 43, and the water flow will flow out of the filter element 3 through the part of the filter element 3 located below the upper seal 43, so as to realize backwashing of the filter element 3, and then flow out of the water purifier through the waste outlet 15 on the side wall of the filter cup 2.

[0036] Specifically, the water holes 42 are evenly arranged along the circumferential outer wall of the rotating sleeve 41 and arranged vertically. The scraper plates 61 and the water holes 42 are staggered, and the scraper plates 61 are all inclined in the same direction, so that the scraper plates 61 are facing the water outlet direction of the water holes 42. During backwashing, water flows out of the filter element 3 through the water holes 42.

After water enters the filter cup 2 through the water inlet end of the water purifier body 1 (when the upper seal 43 and the lower rotating seal 44 are in a separated state), water will not flow into the filter element 3 through the portion of the filter element 3 located above the upper seal 43, that is, water can only flow into the filter element 3 through the first channel and the second channel.

[0038] Specifically, the mode switching component includes a rotating kit 41 that rotates on the outer wall of the filter element 3. The inner wall of the rotating kit 41 is provided with a synthetic scraper bar 63 that abuts against the outer wall of the filter element 3. When the rotating kit 41 rotates, the synthetic scraper bar 63 can be driven to rotate to scrape and clean the surface of the filter element 3. The synthetic scraper bar 63 is made of synthetic material, which makes the scraper bar wear-resistant, aging-resistant and corrosion-resistant.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] Under normal conditions, that is, when the upper seal 43 and the lower rotating seal 44 are in a separated state, water entering the filter cup 2 needs to pass through the first channel and the second channel into the filter element 3 to be filtered by the filter element 3 and then flow out through the water outlet of the water purifier body 1.

[0041] When the filter element 3 is seriously clogged, the traction electromagnet 51 will drive the rotating kit 41 to move downward along the outer wall of the filter element 3, so that the part of the rotating kit 41 located above the upper seal 43 will partially expose the filter element 3, and the upper seal 43 and the lower rotating seal 44 will fit together to block the water passing through the first channel and the second channel, so that the water entering the filter cup 2 can only flow into the filter element 3 through the exposed part of the filter element 3 located above the upper seal 43, and the water flow will flow out through the part of the filter element 3 located below the upper seal 43, and flow out of the filter element 3 through the water hole 42, so as to realize backwashing of the filter element 3, and then flow out of the water purifier through the waste outlet 15 on the side wall of the filter cup 2.

[0042] When water flows out of the filter element 3 through the water hole 42, the water jetted out through the water hole 42 will impact the surface of the inclined scraper plate 61 to provide thrust to the scraper plate 61, so that the scraper plate 61 drives the rotating kit 41 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating kit 41 can drive the scraper plate 61 and the bristles 62 to rotate, so that the bristles 62 clean the inner wall of the filter cup 2.
