DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application discloses a pre-filter with high sealing performance. Figure 1The highly airtight pre-filter comprises a connecting housing 1, a filter bottle 2 secured to the connecting housing 1, and a filter cartridge 3 secured within the filter bottle 2. A water inlet 11 is defined on the left side of the connecting housing 1, and a water outlet 12 is defined on the right side. A pressure reducing valve 8 is installed within the connecting housing 1, with the valve core of the pressure reducing valve 8 movably positioned at the top opening of the filter cartridge 3. Pressure reducing valve 8 controls the opening of the top opening of the filter cartridge 3 to regulate pressure. Water passes through the water inlet 11, the filter bottle 2, the inner cavity of the filter cartridge 3, and the water outlet 12 in sequence, achieving filtration.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 A connecting tube 64 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting shell 1. The inner cavity of the connecting tube 64 communicates with the inner cavity of the connecting shell 1. The top of the filter bottle 2 is inserted into the connecting tube 64. A fixing ring groove 65 is formed on the inner wall of the connecting tube 64. A fixing protrusion 66 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the top of the filter bottle 2. The fixing ring groove 65 is fixed to the fixing protrusion 66.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 A ring platform 67 is also fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the top opening of the filter bottle 2. When the end of the connecting tube 64 away from the connecting shell 1 abuts the ring platform 67, the fixed protruding ring 66 is engaged in the fixed ring groove 65. The circumferential edge of the inner bottom opening of the end of the connecting tube 64 away from the connecting shell 1 is provided with a chamfer 7, which facilitates the engagement of the fixed protruding ring 66 in the fixed ring groove 65.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 A connector 31 is fixed to the bottom of the filter bottle 2, and a copper connector 4 is inserted into the connector 31. A plurality of annular grooves 43 are formed on the outer peripheral wall of the copper connector 4, and a first O-ring 41 is sleeved in each of the annular grooves 43. The first O-ring 41 abuts against the groove wall of the annular groove 43 and the inner wall of the connector 31 to form a seal.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 The highly airtight pre-filter also includes a drain connector 5 disposed at the bottom of the filter bottle 2, with an on-off valve 53 fixed to it. The drain connector 5 includes a drain pipe 51 and a connecting housing 52, with the on-off valve 53 integrally formed with the drain pipe 51. The outer diameter of the connecting housing 52 is smaller than that of the drain pipe 51, facilitating the connection of the water pipe to the connecting housing 52. Anti-slip teeth 54 are fixed to the outer wall of the connecting housing 52, preventing the water pipe from detaching after installation.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3The outer circumferential wall of the drainage connector 5 is provided with a tightening wall 63 facing the bottom of the connector 31. The tightening wall 63 is located at the top of the drain pipe 51. A second O-ring 42 is sleeved on the bottom of the cylindrical joint. The second O-ring 42 abuts between the tightening wall 63 and the bottom of the connector 31. The drainage connector 5 is connected to the copper joint 4. The top of the copper joint 4 is located within the filter bottle 2. A limit ring 61 is fixed to the outer circumferential wall of the top of the copper joint 4. A limit platform 62 is fixed to the bottom of the filter bottle 2 to support the limit ring 61. The drainage connector 5 is threadedly connected to the copper joint 4, so that the second O-ring 42 is clamped between the tightening wall 63 and the bottom of the connector 31, improving the sealing effect.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 A driving sleeve 55 is fixed on the rotating handle of the switch valve 53, and an indicator bar 56 is provided on the driving sleeve 55. When the indicator bar 56 is downward, the switch valve 53 is open; when the indicator bar 56 is horizontal, the switch valve 53 is closed.

[0040] The implementation principle of a highly sealed pre-filter in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when in use, water flows into the pre-filter through the water inlet 11. When the water is at the connector 31, the first O-ring 41 and the second O-ring 42 effectively prevent the water from flowing out of the filter bottle 2. The water flows through the filter element 3 and then flows to the water outlet 12 to complete the filtration of the water. When it is necessary to drain the filter element 3, adjust the pressure reducing valve 8 to allow the water to flow into the tube joint, put the water pipe on the anti-slip teeth 54, and open the switch valve 53 on the sewage connection 5 to achieve sewage discharge.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
