A fixing ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter cartridge 1 near the bottom. A connecting ring 7 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the top of the base 4. The outer walls of the fixing ring 6 and the connecting ring 7 are threadedly connected to the locking ring 8 to facilitate disassembly and assembly of the base 4.

[0027] A sealing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the base 4, and a filter membrane assembly 9 is provided at the center of the bottom of the top cover 2.

[0028] The filter membrane assembly 9 includes an inner grid 901 and an outer grid 902 fixedly connected to the top inner portion of the top cover 2. The bottom of the feed pipe 3 passes through the top cover 2 and is connected to the interior of the inner grid 901. A discharge port is provided at the central opening of the base 4, and the discharge port is connected to the interior of the inner grid 901, so as to facilitate the discharge of liquid that has not been filtered by the nanofiltration membrane.

[0029] A cavity 903 is provided between the inner grid 901 and the outer grid 902 , and the sealing ring 5 extends into the cavity 903 .
