Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pre-filters, in particular to a pre-filter with an anti-clogging structure. Background Art

[0002] The pre-filter is the first coarse filtration device for the water used in the whole house. It can filter out large particles such as mud, rust, insect eggs, bacteria and algae in tap water. The pre-filter is generally installed at the front end of the pipe. After the pre-filter is used for a long time, a large amount of large particles will adhere to its filter element. Therefore, the existing technology uses backwashing to clean the large particles on the surface of the filter element, and discharges the cleaned sewage mixed with large particles through the sewage pipe. The backwashing method can extend the service life of the filter element, but the water pressure in the household water pipe is limited, and can only wash away most of the large particles on the surface of the filter element. The large particles remaining on the surface of the filter element, especially the bacteria and algae, have strong adhesion and cannot be completely cleaned by ordinary flushing methods.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0018] like Figure 1-3 The pre-filter with an anti-clogging structure shown in the figure includes a filter housing 6, a water inlet pipe 3, a flushing branch pipe 4, a water outlet pipe 5, a sewage pipe 7 and a filter element 14. The filter element 14 is arranged inside the filter housing 6, and one end of the sewage pipe 7 and the water inlet pipe 3 are both installed through the bottom end of the filter housing 6, one end of the water outlet pipe 5 is installed through the top of the filter element 14, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 5 passes through the top of the filter housing 6 and extends to the outside thereof. A flushing branch pipe 4 is connected between the water inlet pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 5. Solenoid valves are provided on the sewage pipe 7, the water inlet pipe 3, the water outlet pipe 5 and the flushing branch pipe 4. A water flow detector 16 is provided on the water outlet pipe 5. The water flow detector 16 detects Whether the clean water flow of the pre-filter is attenuated. If the clean water flow decreases below the threshold value of the water flow detector 16, the amount of large particles on the filter element 14 affects the normal operation of the aqueous solution filtration. At this time, the signal of the water flow detector 16 can be fed back to the controller. The controller controls the drive motor 13 and the solenoid valve of the sewage pipe 7, the solenoid valve of the water inlet pipe 3, and the solenoid valve of the water outlet pipe 5 to close, and then controls the solenoid valve of the flushing branch pipe 4 to open, so that the aqueous solution in the pipeline flows into the filter element 14 through the flushing branch pipe 4 and the water outlet pipe 5 in turn. The aqueous solution in the filter element 14 reversely flushes the filter element 14 and the large particles attached to its surface. The controller is a single-chip microcomputer or a PLC controller.

[0019] A first opening is provided at the bottom end of the filter housing 6, and a detachable sleeve 2 is threadedly installed at the bottom end of the filter housing 6. A second opening is provided at the top of the detachable sleeve 2, and the second opening is connected to the first opening. The bottom end of the filter element 14 is mounted on the inner surface of the detachable sleeve 2 by screws, and a rubber ring 10 is movably sleeved on the surface of the filter element 14. A sealing rubber block 9 is bonded to the bottom of the rubber ring 10, and a driving mechanism is connected to the bottom of the sealing rubber block 9. The driving mechanism includes two mounting rods 11, one end of the two mounting rods 11 is mounted on the bottom of the sealing rubber block 9 by screws, and the other end of the two mounting rods 11 passes through the bottom of the detachable sleeve 2 and extends below it. A movable rubber sealing ring is provided between the mounting rod 11 and the detachable sleeve 2 to facilitate the movement of the mounting rod 11 on the detachable sleeve 2, while maintaining the sealing of the connection between the mounting rod 11 and the detachable sleeve 2.

[0020] A ball screw 12 is provided between the two mounting rods 11. One end of the ball screw 12 is movably mounted on the bottom of the detachable housing 2. A connecting rod 15 is installed between the movable end of the ball screw 12 and the surface of the two mounting rods 11 by screws. The bottom end of the ball screw 12 is connected to a drive motor 13 through a coupling. When cleaning large particles attached to the outer surface of the filter element 14, the drive motor 13 is powered on to drive the ball screw 12 to rotate. At the same time, the nut of the ball screw 12 is rotated on the surface of the ball screw. The upward movement causes the nut of the ball screw 12 to drive the two mounting rods 11 to move synchronously through the two connecting rods 15. After the two connecting rods 15 are subjected to force, the rubber ring 10 is pushed to move on the outer surface of the filter element 14 through the sealing rubber block 9. The rubber ring 10 pushes the large particles attached to the outer surface of the filter element 14 through friction. The large particles move on the surface of the filter element 14 after being subjected to force, and due to the resistance of the aqueous solution, the large particles fall from the filter element 14, making it convenient to clean the large particles attached to the surface of the filter element.

[0021] The bottom end of the detachable shell 2 is threadedly installed with a second protective shell 8, and the two mounting rods 11, two connecting rods 15 and the ball screw 12 are all located in the second protective shell 8.

The first protective shell 1 is used to protect the drive motor 13, and the second protective shell 8 protects the two mounting rods 11, two connecting rods 15 and the ball screw 12.
