Detailed implementation manners

[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Referring to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a chlorine-removing and water-softening filter element, including a filter element main body 1 for removing residual chlorine in water and softening water quality, and a functional component for improving the contact rate between water quality and the filter element main body 1 is provided inside the filter element main body 1;

[0024] In order to slow down the flow rate of water and improve the contact efficiency between water and the filter element main body 1, as Figure 2 、 4 and shown in 5, the functional component includes a support column 2, the support column 2 is arranged inside the filter element main body 1, and a plurality of spaced-apart flow splitting rings 3 are sleeved outside the support column 2, and a flow concentrating ring 4 is arranged between two adjacent flow splitting rings 3. The flow concentrating ring 4 is sleeved outside the support column 2, and a connecting piece for connecting the support column 2 is arranged inside the flow concentrating ring 4; the outer side walls of the top and bottom of the flow splitting ring 3 are both inclined, and the inner side walls of the top and bottom of the flow concentrating ring 4 are both inclined. By setting the flow splitting ring 3 and the flow concentrating ring 4 to be inclined, the flow splitting ring 3 and the flow concentrating ring 4 can guide the flow direction of water, so as to achieve the effects of slowing down the flow rate of water and making water fully contact with the filter element main body 1.

[0025] Water is conveyed into the filter element main body 1 through the water inlet pipe 8, and then the water first contacts the flow splitting ring 3 and spreads outwards through the inclined surface on the flow splitting ring 3, so as to disperse the water and contact the filter element main body 1. The dispersed water then flows inwards through the flow concentrating ring 4, and then is dispersed through the flow splitting ring 3 again. In this way, the flow rate of water can be slowed down, so that water can contact the filter element main body 1 from top to bottom, improving the contact efficiency between water and the filter element main body 1, and the dispersed water can contact the filter element main body 1 more evenly, thereby improving the filtering effect of the filter element main body 1. However, gathering a large amount of water and concentrating it to pass through certain parts of the filter element main body 1 will cause the parts of the filter element main body 1 to be quickly saturated and affect the filtering efficiency.

[0026] In order to facilitate the removal of residual chlorine and softening treatment of water, asFigure 1 and 2 As shown in 2 , the filter element main body 1 includes a top cover 101, a bottom cover 102, an activated carbon layer 103 and a softening layer 104. The activated carbon layer 103 and the softening layer 104 are arranged between the top cover 101 and the bottom cover 102. The top cover 101 is arranged on the top of the bottom cover 102. The activated carbon layer 103 is sleeved outside the softening layer 104. The activated carbon layer 103 is made of activated carbon fiber material, and the softening layer 104 is made of softening resin material. The activated carbon layer 103 and the softening layer 104 are fixedly installed through the top cover 101 and the bottom cover 102 to ensure the stability of the activated carbon layer 103 and the softening layer 104. Then, the softening layer 104 made of softening resin is used to remove calcium and magnesium ions to achieve the effect of softening water quality. Further, the activated carbon layer 103 made of activated carbon fiber is used to remove residual chlorine, thereby improving the water treatment effect.

[0027] To ensure the stability of the flow concentrating ring 4, the flow concentrating ring 4 needs to be supported and fixed. As Figure 4 and 5 shown, the connecting member includes a plurality of connecting columns 5 installed inside the flow concentrating ring 4. The plurality of connecting columns 5 are distributed in a circular array. One end of the connecting column 5 away from the flow concentrating ring 4 is fixed to the support column 2. Through the connection between the connecting column 5 and the support column 2, the connecting column 5 can support and fix the flow concentrating ring 4, thereby ensuring the stability of the flow concentrating ring 4 and preventing the flow concentrating ring 4 from hanging and collapsing.

[0028] To facilitate the fixing, disassembly and assembly of the support column 2, as Figure 4 shown, an installation groove 6 is formed on one side of the top of the bottom cover 102 corresponding to the support column 2. The bottom end of the support column 2 extends into the installation groove 6, and the outer wall of the support column 2 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 6. Through the threaded connection between the support column 2 and the installation groove 6, the staff can rotate the support column 2 for installation and disassembly, thereby improving the convenience of the staff for disassembling and assembling the support column 2.

[0029] To ensure the water flow and also facilitate the subsequent disassembly of the functional components, as Figures 1-3 shown, a communicating pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 101, and a water inlet pipe 8 is threadedly connected to the top end inside the communicating pipe 7. Through the connection between the communicating pipe 7 and the water inlet pipe 8, water can be conveyed into the filter element main body 1 through the water inlet pipe 8 and the communicating pipe 7, thereby realizing the softening and residual chlorine removal treatment of water. Also, because the water inlet pipe 8 and the communicating pipe 7 are threadedly connected, the staff can rotate and disassemble the water inlet pipe 8. The outer diameter of the flow concentrating ring 4 is greater than the outer diameter of the flow dividing ring 3, and the inner diameter of the communicating pipe 7 is greater than the outer diameter of the flow concentrating ring 4. By setting the diameter of the flow concentrating ring 4 to be smaller than the inner diameter of the communicating pipe 7, the staff can take out the support column 2 and the flow concentrating ring 4 and the flow dividing ring 3 thereon through the communicating pipe 7.

[0030] Finally, the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
