DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the auxiliary drawing, and are only for the convenience of simplifying the description of the present application, and do not indicate or imply that the device referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Specifically, in the present application, the direction towards the ground is lower, and the direction away from the ground is upper, and other orientation descriptions are defined based on "upper" and "lower".

[0026] In various drawings of the present application, the sizes of some structures or parts may be exaggerated relative to other structural parts for the convenience of illustration, and therefore are only used to illustrate the basic structure of the subject matter of the present application.

[0027] The present application provides a water filter, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, for the preliminary purification or treatment of domestic water or industrial water, the water filter comprises at least one filter body 10, a siphon device 20, and the water filter of the present application automatically runs the filter material backwashing program through the siphon device 20, without manual operation of the valve, reducing the operation cost and the risk of manual intervention.

[0028] Specifically, the filter body 10 surrounds the filter cavity 11, and the filter cavity 11 comprises a filter material area 111 for placing filter material, and the filter material area 111 of the present application is located at the lower part of the filter cavity 11.

[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the filter body 10 is provided with an inlet 12 and an outlet 13 for connecting the filter chamber 11. The inlet 12 is located in the middle of the filter body 10, that is, the inlet 12 is located above the filter media area 111. The middle part mentioned above does not refer to the middle part of the filter body 10, but to an area close to the middle part.

[0030] The outlet 13 is located at the upper part of the filter body 10. Generally, the filter body 10 also includes a water collection device (not shown) located in the filter chamber 11 for collecting the filtered purified water. The water collection device is connected to the outlet 13. After the water to be filtered enters the filter chamber 11 through the inlet 12, it flows to the bottom of the filter media under its own gravity. The water collection device collects the filtered purified water and then flows into the purified water tank (not shown) through the outlet 13. During this filtration process, pollutants such as colloids, iron, organic matter, pesticides, manganese, bacteria, and viruses contained in the water to be filtered are adsorbed onto the filter media.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the water filter includes two filter bodies 10, which are connected by a connecting pipe 14. Each filter body 10 is matched with a siphon device 20, which can be used as backups for each other, or the two filter bodies 10 can work simultaneously, thereby increasing the efficiency and applicability of the water filter.

[0032] It is understood that the water filter may also include two or more filter bodies 10, and the siphon device 20 and the filter body 10 are respectively configured, all of which are within the protection scope of this application.

[0033] As another preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water filter also includes a distribution tank 30 and an inlet pipe 40 for connecting the distribution tank 30 and the filter chamber 11. The inlet pipe 40 is U-shaped, and the lowest point of the inlet pipe 40 is not higher than the filter media area 111. The water to be filtered enters the filter chamber 11 through the distribution tank 30. When the water passes through the lowest point of the inlet pipe 40, some impurities in the water settle at the lowest point of the inlet pipe 40 due to gravity, preventing these sediments from entering the filter chamber 11 with the inlet pipe 40. This allows the water to undergo primary sedimentation in the inlet pipe 40 before entering the filter chamber 11.

[0034] It is understood that the number of water inlet pipes 40 is the same as the number of filter bodies 10. That is, in an embodiment where there are two filter bodies 10, the water inlet pipes 40 include two and are used to connect the distribution tank 30 and the filter chamber 11 respectively, so as to inject water into each filter chamber 11 respectively.

[0035] In the application, the distribution water tank 30 is arranged higher than the filter body 10, which increases the path of the water to be filtered to reach the lowest point of the water inlet pipe 40, improves the effect of primary precipitation, and further improves the purification effect of the water filter as a whole.

[0036] The water inlet pipe 50 is arranged on the distribution water tank 30, which is used to transport the water to be filtered into the distribution water tank 30.

[0037] With the progress of the filtering process, suspended solids gradually accumulate on the filter material, which increases the resistance of water filtration and affects the normal progress of filtration. The water level above the filter material area 111 rises, and the water pressure above the filter material area 111 becomes larger. At this time, the filter material needs to be backwashed. The water filter of the application automatically controls the backwashing of the filter material by using the siphon device 20.

[0038] Specifically, the inlet of the siphon device 20 is located in the filter cavity 11 and above the filter material area 111, and the outlet of the siphon device 20 is located outside the filter body 10 and lower than the bottom end of the filter body 10, that is, the outlet of the siphon device 20 is lower than the inlet of the siphon device 20 in the up-down direction, so that the siphon device 20 can produce a siphon effect.

[0039] When the water pressure above the filter material area 111 continues to gradually increase, the water enters the siphon device 20 located above the filter material area 11, and after the water in the siphon device 20 reaches the highest point of the siphon device 20, it flows out through the outlet of the siphon device 20 under the action of gravity. Due to the height difference between the outlet and the inlet of the siphon device 20, the water above the filter material area 111 continues to be discharged through the siphon device 20 to the outside of the filter body 10. With the progress of the siphon process, the water in the filter cavity 11 moves from bottom to top, passes through the filter material and carries away the contaminants attached to the filter material, thereby starting the backwashing of the filter material.

[0040] Further, the siphon device 20 includes a siphon main pipe 21 close to the inlet of the siphon device 20, a siphon branch pipe 22 close to the outlet of the siphon device 20, and a transition pipe 23 connecting the siphon main pipe 21 and the siphon branch pipe 22. The transition pipe 23 is arranged higher than the filter body 10.

[0041] The siphon device 20 further includes a siphon breaking pipe 24 in communication with the siphon branch pipe 22. The upper end of the siphon breaking pipe 24 is arranged higher than the filter body 10, and the lower end of the siphon breaking pipe 24 is located in the interval along the up-down direction of the filter material area 111. During the backwashing process, the water level in the filter cavity 11 gradually decreases, and when the water level in the filter cavity 11 decreases to the siphon breaking pipe 24, air enters the siphon branch pipe 22, thereby breaking the siphon effect, ending the backwashing, and starting the filtration again.

[0042] As another preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the siphon device 20 further comprises an auxiliary pipe 25 which is in communication with the siphon branch pipe 22 and parallel to the partial structure of the siphon branch pipe 22, the auxiliary pipe 25 is arranged above the filter body 10, the siphon breaking pipe 24 is in communication with the auxiliary pipe 25, preventing water from entering the siphon breaking pipe 24 when the siphon effect occurs.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 shown, the auxiliary pipe 25 comprises a transverse pipe 251 which extends along the radial direction of the siphon branch pipe 22, a vertical pipe 252 which is in communication with the transverse pipe 251 and extends along the axial direction of the siphon branch pipe 22, and an inclined pipe 253 which is in communication with the vertical pipe 252 and the siphon branch pipe 22, the inclined pipe 253 extends obliquely towards the siphon branch pipe 22, the siphon breaking pipe 24 is in communication with the inclined pipe 253, increasing the path of the siphon breaking pipe 24 connecting with the siphon branch pipe 22, preventing water from entering the siphon breaking pipe 24 without affecting the action of the siphon breaking pipe 24.

[0044] As another preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the siphon device 20 further comprises a siphon standby pipe 26 which is in communication with the siphon branch pipe 22, the siphon standby pipe 26 is arranged in parallel with the siphon branch pipe 22, the connection between the siphon standby pipe 26 and the siphon branch pipe 22 is not lower than the upper end of the siphon breaking pipe 25, the lower end of the siphon standby pipe 26 is lower than the inlet of the siphon main pipe 21, when the siphon branch pipe 22 has a problem, the siphon standby pipe 26 replaces the siphon branch pipe 22 to complete the siphon process.

[0045] Specifically, the siphon standby pipe 26 comprises a pipe body 261 and a connecting pipe 262 which is in communication with the pipe body 261 and the siphon branch pipe 22, the connecting pipe 262 extends upwards and outwards from the side of the siphon branch pipe 22, that is, the extension direction of the connecting pipe 262 is opposite to the direction of water flow, preventing water from entering the siphon standby pipe 26 when the siphon branch pipe 22 works normally.

[0046] Further, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the water filter further comprises a sewage pipe 60 for discharging sewage, one end of the sewage pipe 60 is located above the filter material area 111, and the other end is located outside the filter body 10, since the inner diameter of the sewage pipe 60 is larger than the inner diameter of the siphon device 20, the sewage pipe 60 itself cannot generate a siphon effect, and can also improve the discharge speed of the sewage after backwashing, the sewage pipe 60 of the present application can also be used to fix the siphon device 20, that is, the siphon device 20 is fixed on the sewage pipe 60.

[0047] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water filter further comprises a sewage pool 70 located below the filter body 10, the sewage pipe 70 and the outlet of the siphon device 20 both extend into the sewage pool 70 to facilitate the sewage pool 70 to collect the backwashing sewage.

[0048] The present application also provides a water treatment system, which comprises the above-mentioned water filter, the water treatment system using the above-mentioned water filter can automatically backwash the water filter without manual operation of the valve, thereby reducing the operation cost and the risk of manual intervention and improving the stability of the entire water treatment system.

[0049] In summary, the water filter of the present application can automatically run the filter material backwashing program by setting the siphon device 20 relying on the hydraulic action and the siphon principle, without manual operation of the valve, thereby reducing the operation cost and the risk of manual intervention, and being stable and reliable in operation, strong in adaptability and convenient to popularize.

[0050] It should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, each embodiment does not contain only one independent technical solution, and the description manner of the specification is only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.

[0051] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of the feasible embodiments of the present application, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application, and any equivalent embodiments or changes made without departing from the spirit of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
