Technical Field

[0002] The mainstream external pressure pre-filter in the existing technology is a bottom-mounted filter bottle type, comprising a valve head, a filter bottle connected to the valve head at its upper end, and a drain ball valve connected to its lower end. A filter screen frame is installed within the filter bottle, and the outer wall of the filter screen frame is covered with a filter screen. During use, water flows from the water inlet of the valve head into the gap between the filter bottle and the filter screen, is filtered by the filter screen, flows into the center of the filter screen frame, and then flows from the center of the filter screen frame to the water outlet of the valve head. When sewage needs to be discharged, the drain ball valve at the lower end of the filter bottle is opened to achieve this. This structure has the potential for backflow of water in the outlet pipe during drainage, leading to the ingress of air, which requires a check valve structure.
[0003] A check valve is a valve, also known as a non-return valve or a reverse valve, whose main function is to prevent the fluid from flowing back in the pipeline. When the flow direction of the fluid in the pipeline changes, the check valve will automatically close to prevent the fluid from flowing back, thereby protecting the safety of the pipeline and equipment. The check valve in the existing technology is usually composed of a valve body, a valve cover, a valve seat and a sealing seat, and is installed in the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe. However, the space for the water inlet port and the water outlet port of the pre-filter valve head is limited, and in the pre-filter of the automated intelligent control, the valve head integrates the controller, drive motor and flow detection mechanism, etc., and the installation of conventional check valves is limited. There is extra space in the water path from the center of the filter mesh skeleton inside the valve head to the water outlet of the valve head to install the check valve structure. This utility model aims to provide a valve head structure with a built-in check valve that is more optimized and easier to install. The check valve is installed in the water path from the center of the filter mesh frame to the water outlet of the valve head. When the pre-filter is discharging sewage, it achieves reliable check and control, preventing the ingress of air due to water backflow in the water outlet pipe, without affecting the installation of other intelligent control components of the valve head. The utility model also aims to provide a pre-filter with a valve head structure with this built-in check valve. Utility Model Content
