[0028] The present utility model designs a detachable filter. The filter screen inside the filter can be detached and cleaned separately, and can be reused, saving the use cost. At the same time, in order to prevent water leakage at the water outlet of the water tank during the disassembly of the filter, a plug structure is provided at the water outlet of the water tank. When the filter is installed, the plug is pushed open to open the water path. When the filter is disassembled, the plug can be reset to block the water path. Therefore, the unfiltered water will not enter the water pump to cause pollution or damage.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the water supply device of the present utility model includes a water tank 1, a filtering device 2 and a water pump (not shown in the figure), and the filtering device 2 is arranged between the water tank 1 and the water pump.
[0030] Among them, the water tank 1 is provided with a water outlet, and a connecting piece 11 is arranged outside the water outlet of the water tank 1. The connecting piece 11 surrounds the water outlet of the water tank 1 and is provided with an interface 111 leading to the water pump. An internal thread is arranged in the interface 111 for connecting the filtering device 2.
[0031] The filtering device 2 includes a plug 21 and a filter 22. The plug 21 is arranged at the water outlet of the water tank 1 and includes a plug housing 211, a plug body 212 and an elastic member. In this embodiment, the elastic member is a spring 213. The plug housing 211 passes through the water outlet of the water tank 1, and at least a part of it is arranged inside the water tank 1. A channel 2111 with an extending direction parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet of the water tank 1 is arranged inside the plug housing 211. The outer diameter of one side of the plug housing 211 located inside the water tank 1 is larger than the diameter of the water outlet of the water tank 1, so that the plug housing 211 can cover the water outlet of the water tank 1. An inlet 2112 communicating with the channel 2111 is arranged on the side surface of the plug housing 211, and the inlet 2112 is arranged inside the water tank 1. An outer shell opening 2113 communicating with the channel 2111 is arranged at one end of the plug housing 211 away from the water tank 1, and the outer shell opening 2113 faces the outside of the water tank 1. The aperture of the outer shell opening 2113 is smaller than the inner diameter of the channel 2111, thereby forming an abutting portion 2114, and the inlet 2112 communicates with the outer shell opening 2113; the plug body 212 and the spring 213 are arranged inside the channel 2111. In this embodiment, the plug body 212 is a cylindrical structure, and its axial direction is parallel to the extending direction of the channel 2111, and a plug shoulder 2121 protruding radially is arranged, and the plug shoulder 2121 is located inside the channel 2111. The outer diameter of the plug shoulder 2121 is larger than the aperture of the outer shell opening 2113 and smaller than the inner diameter of the channel 2111. The water flowing in from the inlet 2112 flows in the gap between the plug body 212 and the plug housing 211; one end of the plug body 212 extends out of the plug housing 211 from the outer shell opening 2113 and is located inside the connecting member 11; the spring 213 is located inside the channel 2111, one end of it abuts against the inner top wall of the plug housing 211, and the other end abuts against the plug shoulder 2121. When the spring 213 is not compressed, the plug shoulder 2121 is close to the outer shell opening 2113 under the action of elastic force and blocks the outer shell opening 2113; under the action of an external force, the plug body 212 moves away from the outer shell opening 2113 direction, and at the same time compresses the spring 213. At this time, the outer shell opening 2113 is opened, and the water in the water tank 1 flows out through the outer shell opening 2113; when the external force is removed, the spring 213 is released, so that the plug body 212 moves towards the outer shell opening 2113 direction and blocks the outer shell opening 2113, blocking the water path.
[0032] The filter 22 is arranged outside the housing opening 2113 and includes a filter housing 221, a filter screen 222, and a gland 223. The filter housing 221 is provided with an external thread and is installed in and threadedly connected to the connector 11. The filter housing 221 is axially provided with a through hole 2211 communicating with its interior along the plug body 212. The water flowing out of the plug housing 211 flows into the filter housing 221 through the through hole 2211. In this embodiment, a convex portion 2212 protruding toward the plug body 212 is provided on one side of the filter housing 221 facing the plug body 212. A groove 2213 is provided on the convex portion 2212. The length of the groove 2213 is greater than the outer diameter of the end of the plug body 2 protruding from the plug housing 211, and the width is less than the outer diameter of the end of the plug body 2 protruding from the plug housing 211. The plug body 212 is pushed by the convex portion 2212 toward the inner top wall of the plug housing 211 and is separated from the through hole 2211 by a certain distance. The through hole 2211 communicates with the groove 2213. The water flow flowing out of the housing opening 2113 enters the through hole 2211 through the groove 2213. The cross-sectional area of the through hole 2211 increases step by step along the direction away from the plug 21. The filter screen 222 is installed on the side of the through hole 2211 away from the plug 21 and covers the opening of the end of the through hole 2211 away from the plug body 212. The filter screen 222 can be selected with different mesh numbers according to needs to obtain different filtration precisions. The gland 223 is a hollow ring and is press-fitted into the through hole 2211 and abuts against the filter screen 222 to fix the filter screen 222 in the through hole 2211 and prevent it from falling out of the through hole 2211 from the side away from the plug 21. The through hole 2211 is connected to the inlet of the water pump. The water flow filtered by the filter screen 222 flows through the hollow part of the gland 223 to the water pump. The filter screen 222 and the gland 223 can be disassembled from the through hole 2211. After the filter 22 is installed into the connector 11 by threading, the groove 2213 of the filter 22 abuts against the end of the plug body protruding from the plug housing 211 and pushes the plug body 212 into the plug housing 211. The plug shoulder 2121 moves away from the opening of the plug housing 211, and at the same time, the spring 213 is compressed. At this time, the waterway is opened, and the water flow in the water tank 1 passes through the groove 2213, flows through the filter screen 222 in the through hole 2211, and enters the water pump after being filtered.
[0033] When the filter screen 222 needs to be cleaned, the filter 22 is removed. Under the elastic force of the spring 213, the plug main body 212 blocks the housing opening 2113, so that the water tank 1 does not leak, and the unfiltered water does not enter the water pump to pollute the water source or damage the water pump. After the filter 22 is removed, the filter screen 222 and the gland 223 are removed from the filter 22. After the filter screen 222 is cleaned, it is installed into the connector 221, and then the gland 223 is press-fitted into the connector 221 with an interference fit to fix the filter screen 222 in the connector 221. Or, it is not necessary to disassemble the filter screen 222 and the gland 223 from the filter 22. The filter 22 can be cleaned as a whole by directly flushing through the opening at one end of the connector 221 close to the gland 223.
[0034] Preferably, the filter 22 is a metal part and can be sterilized under high temperature and high pressure conditions.
[0035] The connector 11 of the water tank 1 keeps the connection between the plug main body 212 and the filter 22 closed, allowing the water source to enter the filter 22 and preventing leakage to other parts.
[0036] Preferably, sealing rings are respectively arranged at the connection between the plug 21 and the water tank 1 and at the connection between the plug 21 and the connector 11 to improve the sealing performance.
[0037] For the filtering device and the water supply device of the present utility model, the filter 22 can be easily disassembled. Only by cleaning the filter screen 222 can it be reused. After the filter 22 is disassembled, the plug main body 212 blocks the waterway, and the unfiltered water source does not enter the water pump to pollute the water source or damage the water pump. The overall structure is simple and the cost is low. Moreover, the filter screen 222 can be replaced with filter screens of different meshes according to needs to obtain different filtration precisions, making the manufacturing more flexible and the application range wider.
[0038] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and the present utility model also intends to include these modifications and improvements.
