After the whole machine is shut down, the pure water is returned to the water inlet end of the RO membrane by air pressure. The interior of the pure water cavity sleeve 7 is provided with a rear carbon rod barrel 5, which is fixed to the front lower end cover 3 by spin-melting welding to form an independent rear clean water cavity inside. The cavity is inside the pure water cavity and is used to isolate the pure water in the pure water cavity and the clean water of the rear filter material. The interior of the rear carbon rod barrel 5 is installed with a rear filter material 6, and a pure water cavity is formed between the bottom of the rear carbon rod barrel 5 and the bottom of the inner wall of the pure water cavity sleeve 7.
[0022] It should be noted that the utility model adds a pure water chamber designed inside the RO filter element so that the pure water generated by the RO filter element after the delayed shutdown of the whole machine is stored in the separate pure water chamber of the front and rear composite filter elements. When the whole machine is completely shut down, the pure water in the pure water chamber inside the filter element barrel 8 is caused by the internal air pressure to flow from the water inlet end of the rear filter material 6 to the pure water end of the RO membrane filter element assembly 13. The wastewater outlet end of the RO membrane filter element assembly 13 is pressure-free because the wastewater valve is open, and the water refluxed from the pure water chamber squeezes out the raw water and wastewater of the RO membrane filter element assembly 13 itself from the wastewater outlet through the pressure, so that the membrane is immersed in pure water, diluting the salt product inside the pure water, reducing the desalination rate of the pure water outlet, and extending the service life of the RO membrane.

[0026] It should be noted that the filter element cover 1 of the utility model is fixedly connected to the water stop valve, the cover plate and the sealing ring by ultrasonic welding, and is connected to the filter element barrel 8 by spin melting welding to form a large cavity, which is a shell used for filtering and storing water for the entire filter element.

[0028] It should be noted that the post-filter material 6 of the utility model is composed of a post-filter carbon rod and a post-filter lower end cover, which are fixed by hot-melt glue and are used to further filter the RO pure water and improve the taste of the water. The upper end of the carbon rod upper end cover 4 is fixed to the filter element cover by a slot and a sealing ring to isolate the post-filter water from the purified water.
