[0029] The utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1-5 The embodiments of the present application disclose a water purifying kettle filter element, which is installed on a water purifying device such as a water purifying kettle and used for purifying water. The structure comprises a first filter element 1, which has an outer shell, a filter cavity 100 is arranged in the outer shell, a water inlet hole 103 and a water outlet hole 104 are arranged on the outer shell, and the water inlet hole 103 is in communication with the filter cavity 100; the water outlet hole 104 is arranged at the bottom of the outer shell, the filter cavity 100 of the outer shell is filled with activated carbon and resin filter material, and the filtering precision is generally low, so that small dust particles, impurities and suspended solids in water can be filtered.

[0031] Further in the embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the outer shell of the first filter element 1 comprises a sealingly connected upper shell 101 and lower shell 102, the upper shell 101 is also called an upper cover, a plurality of through holes are arranged on the upper shell 101, the through holes form the water inlet hole 103, raw water can flow into the filter cavity 100 of the outer shell through the water inlet hole 103 and fully contact and filter with the filter material in the filter cavity 100. The bottom of the lower shell 102 is provided with the water outlet hole 104, and the water outlet hole 104 is in communication with the water storage cavity of the water purifying kettle.

[0032] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a first filter screen 3 is connected between the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 102. The first filter screen 3 is ultrasonically welded between the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 102. It is used for the preliminary filtration of water and can effectively intercept or block larger particles of mud and sand, as well as large suspended solids and impurities. This effectively prevents large particles of mud, sand, suspended solids and impurities from entering the filter chamber 100 and weakening the filtration effect of the filter media in the filter chamber 100, thereby improving the service life of the filter media.

[0033] Further in this embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the water purifier filter cartridge also includes a second filter cartridge 2 sealed and connected within the filter chamber 100 of the first filter cartridge 1. The filtration accuracy of the second filter cartridge 2 is greater than that of the first filter cartridge 1. In this embodiment, the second filter cartridge 2 includes a housing 200 and a filter body 201 disposed within the housing 200. The lower end of the second filter cartridge 2 forms a water outlet 203. The second filter cartridge 2 is an ultrafiltration filter cartridge, that is, the filter body 201 within the housing 200 of the second filter cartridge 2 is a filter body 201 made of ultrafiltration hollow fiber membrane, which can effectively remove small-volume harmful substances such as bacteria and green algae in the water. Its filtration accuracy is greater than that of activated carbon and resin filter media. The second filter element 2 is provided with water passage holes 202 that communicate with the filter chamber 100. Specifically, the outer circumferential wall of the housing 200 is provided with multiple water passage holes 202 for allowing water in the filter chamber 100 to flow into the second filter element 2. The water outlet end 203 of the second filter element 2 is connected to the water outlet hole 104. That is, the raw water enters the filter chamber 100 through the water inlet hole 103 on the outer shell of the first filter element 1 and is fully filtered by the activated carbon and resin filter material in the filter chamber 100. The filtered water enters the second filter element 2 through the water passage holes 202 on the second filter element 2 and is fully filtered again by the filter body 201 made of ultrafiltration hollow fiber membrane in the second filter element 2. The filtered clean water flows out through the water outlet end 203 of the second filter element 2 and the water outlet hole 104 at the bottom of the outer shell.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the water purifying kettle filter element integrates the second filter element 2 with high filtering precision in the filtering cavity 100 of the first filter element 1, so that the overall volume of the water purifying kettle filter element is reduced, and thus the design size of the water purifying kettle is reduced, and the water purifying kettle is more convenient to carry. In addition, the water purifying kettle filter element is composed of the first filter element 1 with low filtering precision and the second filter element 2 with high filtering precision, so that the water purifying effect is good, and the quality of the purified water flowing out of the water outlet hole 104 is high. When the water purifying kettle filter element is assembled or replaced, only the filter element as a whole needs to be taken out and replaced or assembled, so that the first filter element 1 and the second filter element 2 do not need to be taken out or assembled one by one, and thus the operation is simple and the installation is convenient. The water purifying kettle filter element not only has good filtering effect, but also has small volume, high assembly efficiency and convenient replacement.

[0035] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , the inner bottom wall of the filtering cavity 100 of the first filter element 1 is concave downward to form a mounting cavity 110, and the lower part of the second filter element 2 is sealingly connected in the mounting cavity 110. The bottom of the mounting cavity 110 is provided with a water outlet hole 104. Specifically, the sealing ring 206 sealingly connected with the inner wall of the mounting cavity 110 is connected to the shell 200 of the first filter element 1. The sealing ring 206 can block the water in the filtering cavity 100 from flowing out of the water outlet hole 104 directly without passing through the second filter element 2, so as to further improve the filtering effect of the water purifying kettle filter element.

[0036] It is not difficult to understand that the ultrafiltration filter element usually adopts a filter material with micropores, and the corresponding water resistance is also large. When the water passes through the inside of the filter element, the air will be trapped due to the action of gravity or impact force. If the air cannot be discharged, the speed of the water flow will be affected, and even the water outlet end 203 of the second filter element 2 will be difficult to discharge water. Therefore, the corresponding ultrafiltration filter element is provided with an air vent. In the embodiment, the second filter element 2 with high filtering precision is arranged inside the first filter element 1. Therefore, in order to facilitate the smooth discharge of the gas in the second filter element 2, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , an air discharge channel 105 is arranged in the shell, the inner end of the air discharge channel 105 extends into the filtering cavity 100, and the outer end of the air discharge channel 105 penetrates the outer side wall of the shell. The second filter element 2 is provided with an air vent 205, that is, the air vent 205 is arranged on the upper end of the shell 200 in the axial direction, and the air vent 205 is in communication with the inner end of the air discharge channel 105. That is, the gas generated in the second filter element 2 is discharged through the air vent 205 and the air discharge channel 105. Therefore, the air discharge channel 105 arranged in the first filter element 1 can facilitate the discharge of the gas generated in the second filter element 2, and effectively avoid the air trapping phenomenon in the second filter element 2.

[0037] Further in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3As shown in the drawings, the second filter element 2 is provided with a hollow exhaust port 205 in the top of the shell 200 of the second filter element 2 and in communication with the inside of the shell 200; the exhaust passage 105 is vertically arranged along the height direction of the shell, and the inner end of the exhaust passage 105 forms a plug-in end 111 which is plugged into the exhaust port 205 of the second filter element 2. When the upper shell 101 of the shell is installed, the plug-in end 111 of the inner end of the exhaust passage 105 is plugged into the exhaust port 205 of the second filter element 2 to realize the butt joint of the exhaust passage 105 of the second filter element 2, facilitating the assembly of the filter element and improving the assembly efficiency of the filter element.

[0038] In the foregoing embodiments, referring to Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the outer end of the exhaust passage 105 is formed with an exhaust hole 106 in the top of the shell, and the hole diameter of the exhaust hole 106 is smaller than the inner diameter of the exhaust passage 105. In this way, water is difficult to enter the exhaust passage 105 from the exhaust hole 106, and the gas in the exhaust passage 105 is conveniently discharged from the exhaust hole 106 at the upper end of the exhaust passage 105.

[0039] Further in the present embodiment, the shell 200 of the second filter element 2 is provided with a second filter screen 204 which covers the water passing hole 202. The second filter screen 204 plays a role of further filtering to prevent larger impurities in the water in the filter cavity 100 from entering the second filter element 2. In the present embodiment, the second filter screen 204 and the shell 200 are a two-shot injection molding structure. That is, the second filter screen 204 is first manufactured, and then the second filter screen 204 is placed in the injection mold of the shell 200, so that the second filter screen 204 is integrally formed on the shell 200 when the shell 200 is injection molded. In this way, the second filter screen 204 and the shell 200 are formed in one piece, avoiding the defect of low assembly efficiency caused by the assembly of the two.

[0040] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the lower shell 102 of the shell is connected with an annular sealing body 107 which cooperates with the water purifying kettle. Specifically, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in the drawings, the outer peripheral wall of the lower shell 102 is provided with an annular clamping groove 109 which is open downward, and the annular sealing body 107 has a plug-in part 108 which is plugged into the annular clamping groove 109. In this way, the connection of the annular sealing body 107 is more firm and stable, and the annular sealing body 107 can be sealed and cooperated with the water purifying kettle to improve the water purifying effect.
