The interior of the filter end cover 1 is provided with a joint limiting groove 13, and the outside of the filter outlet joint 2 is provided with a joint boss 23. After the filter outlet joint 2 is inserted into the interior of the filter end cover 1, the joint boss 23 fits into the interior of the joint limiting groove 13. After this arrangement, different filter elements can be installed in the second installation channel 21 and the first water outlet channel 22 to achieve the filtering function, and the double filter element can improve the filtering effect, so that the filter end cover 1 can be directly connected to the water outlet to achieve filtering.
[0032] In this embodiment, the installed filter elements may be a second cylindrical filter screen 41 and a first annular filter screen 42. The second cylindrical filter screen 41 is provided with a second cylindrical boss 411 on its exterior, and the second cylindrical boss 411 fits in the second installation channel 21. The surface of the first annular filter screen 42 is provided with a third cylindrical boss 421, and both ends of the third cylindrical boss 421 are connected to second annular bosses 422, and the second annular boss 422 fits in the surface of the joint boss 23.
[0033] The installed filter elements may be a third cylindrical filter screen 51 and a second annular filter screen 52. The third cylindrical filter screen 51 is provided with a fourth cylindrical boss 511 on its exterior. The fourth cylindrical boss 511 fits within the second installation channel 21. The second annular filter screen 52 fits on the surface of the joint boss 23.

At this time, there is a gap between the water baffle 74 and the second water outlet channel 71. If water flows back upward from the first water outlet channel 22, the water baffle 74 will slide upward under the impact of the water flow and the guidance of the valve body column 73. At this time, there is no gap between the water baffle 74 and the second water outlet channel 71, thereby realizing the unidirectional conduction function.
[0037] The installed filter element can be the third spherical filter 81 or the second annular filter 52. The edge of the third spherical filter 81 is provided with a fourth annular boss 811, which is attached to the bottom surface of the third installation channel 16. The inner portion of the fourth annular boss 811 is further provided with a sheet-like boss 812.
[0038] like Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the fourth embodiment of the present utility model is different from the third embodiment in that the hook shape on the side of the water channel connector 14 is different. In this embodiment, the filter element installed inside can be a fifth columnar filter 91, and the outside of the fifth columnar filter 91 is provided with a sixth columnar boss 911, and the sixth columnar boss 911 fits in the third installation channel 16. The inside of the fifth columnar filter 91 is provided with a sixth columnar filter 92, and the bottom of the sixth columnar filter 92 is provided with a fifth annular boss 921, and the fifth annular boss 921 fits in the inner bottom of the third installation channel 16. The universal joint 15 includes a universal joint body 151, a limit screw 152 and a sealing gasket 153. The top of the universal joint body 151 is threadedly connected with a plurality of limit screws 152. The sealing gasket 153 is clamped between the bottom of the universal joint body 151 and the top of the water joint 14. After this arrangement, the water inlet pipe without threads can be directly inserted into the interior of the universal joint body 151 and the limit screw 152 can be rotated to lock it. The fifth columnar filter screen 91 and the sixth columnar filter screen 92 are stacked together, and can also realize the function of dual filter element filtering.
[0039] Working principle and usage of this utility model:
[0040] The user can install filter elements or one-way valve elements of suitable size but different shapes inside the first installation channel 11, the second installation channel 21 and the third installation channel 16, so that the filter end cover 1 has a filtering function or an anti-backflow function, the overall structure is smaller, and it is more convenient to use.
