[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The reverse osmosis filter element shown includes a filter assembly 10 and an opening / closing assembly 13. The filter assembly 10 is provided with an inflow channel 101, a clean water channel 102 and a wastewater channel 103. The inflow channel 101 is connected to the clean water channel 102 and the wastewater channel 103 respectively. In addition to the above structure, the filter assembly 10 is also provided with filter media 11 and a reverse osmosis membrane. During use, the water to be filtered enters the filter assembly 10 through the inflow channel 101. Part of the water enters the clean water channel 102 after being filtered by the filter media 11 and the reverse osmosis membrane, while the other part of the water flows into the wastewater channel 103.
[0032] Please see Figure 2 The opening and closing component 13 includes a stop member 131 and an elastic member 133. Both the stop member 131 and the elastic member 133 are disposed inside the water purification channel 102. The elastic member 133 can be specifically a spring. One end of the elastic member 133 is connected to the stop member 131 and presses the stop member 131 against the inner wall of the water purification channel 102 so that the water purification channel 102 is closed. When the water pressure on the side of the stop member 131 opposite to the water flow direction reaches a predetermined level, the stop member 131 separates from the inner wall of the water purification channel 102, and the elastic member 133 is compressed. At this time, the water purification channel 102 opens, and the purified water can flow out of the water purification channel 102. If the water flow inside the water purification channel 102 tends to flow back, the stop member 131 is subjected to pressure in the opposite direction of the water flow, which will make the stop member 131 press more tightly against the inner wall of the water purification channel 102, thereby sealing the water purification channel 102 to prevent water backflow. This can act as a one-way valve, so that the reverse osmosis filter element does not need to be equipped with an additional one-way valve, which simplifies the internal structure of the reverse osmosis filter element and also reduces the production cost.
[0033] In some implementations, such as Figure 2As shown, the water purification channel 102 is internally provided with a guide head 14, the edge of the guide head 14 is sealingly connected with the inner wall of the water purification channel 102, the middle part of the guide head 14 is provided with a flow port 142, the purified water in the inflow channel 101 flows through the flow port 142 from the guide head 14, the side of the guide head 14 away from the water flow direction is provided with an end face 141, and the elastic member 133 abuts against the end face 141 to seal the flow port 142. In actual application, the purified water is first collected on the side of the guide head 14 away from the end face 141 when flowing out, and when the water pressure on the side of the guide head 14 away from the end face 141 reaches a preset degree, the stop piece 131 slides away from the end face 141, so that the purified water can flow out of the water purification channel 102. If the purified water in the water purification channel 102 appears a reflux trend, the water pressure on the side of the guide head 14 away from the end face 141 is smaller than that on the side of the end face 141, and the stop piece 131 abuts against the end face 141 more tightly under the action of the water pressure, so that the purified water in the water purification channel 102 is prevented from flowing back, and the function of a one-way valve is achieved.
[0034] In summary, the opening and closing assembly 13 cooperates with the guide head 14 to achieve the function of a one-way valve, so that the reverse osmosis filter element does not need to be additionally provided with a one-way valve, the overall structure of the reverse osmosis filter element is simpler during installation and use, and the production cost of the reverse osmosis filter element is reduced.
[0035] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the opening and closing assembly 13 further includes a seat body 132 fixed on the inner wall of the water purification channel 102, and the elastic member 133 is sleeved on the seat body 132, one end of the elastic member 133 abuts against the seat body 132, and the other end is fixedly connected with the stop piece 131. The stop piece 131 abuts against the end face 141 under the action of the elastic member 133. Through the above design, the elastic member 133 can move along the radial direction of the seat body 132, and the position deviation of the elastic member 133 during the movement of abutting against the stop piece 131 can be avoided, so that the stop piece 131 and the end face 141 can always abut against each other at the most appropriate relative position, and the backflow of the purified water can be more stably and effectively prevented.
[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the edge of the side of the stop piece 131 close to the guide head 14 is provided with a rounded structure 011. Through this design, the purified water in the water purification channel 102 can smoothly flow along the rounded structure 011 of the stop piece 131 during the flow process, the turbulent flow caused by the sudden change of the flow direction is avoided, the impact of the water flow on the components when the water flows out is reduced, the noise generated when the water flows out is reduced, and the user experience of the reverse osmosis filter element in actual application is improved.
[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The abutment 131 includes a first part 01 and a second part 02, which are connected to each other. In actual application, the first part 01 and the second part 02 can be molded as a whole. The first part 01 is used to abut against the end face 141, and the second part 02 is used to cover the elastic member 133. In addition, the seat body 132 is provided with a movable cavity 03 on the side opposite to the abutment 131. The elastic member 133 is inserted into the movable cavity 03 together with the second part 02 after being covered by the second part 02. One end of the elastic member 133 abuts against the bottom surface of the movable cavity 03, and the other end abuts against the first part 01. Under the action of the elastic member 133, the abutment 131 can reciprocally and elastically slide along the radial direction of the movable cavity 03. Through the above design, the movable cavity 03 can limit the angle of the abutment 131, and can also protect the elastic member 133. The abutment 131 can better abut against the end face 141, and can more stably and effectively prevent the backflow of pure water.
[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 A gap S is formed between the seat body 132 and the abutment 131. The gap S makes the movable cavity 03 and the pure water channel 102 inside be in a communication state. The pure water in the pure water channel 102 can enter the movable cavity 03 through the gap S, so that the elastic member 133 is soaked in the pure water. Long-term soaking may have adverse effects on the elastic member 133. Therefore, in order to avoid the above-mentioned adverse situation, please refer to Figure 4 The opening and closing assembly 13 further includes a sealing member 134, which is sealingly connected with the abutment 131 and the seat body 132, and surrounds and covers the gap S so as to completely cover the gap S. A sealed space is formed between the abutment 131, the sealing member 134 and the seat body 132. The gap S is isolated from the water flow in the pure water channel 102, effectively preventing the pure water in the pure water channel 102 from entering the movable cavity 03 through the gap S. The elastic member 133 in the movable cavity 03 can be prevented from being soaked in water, prolonging the service life of the elastic member 133, and facilitating the opening and closing assembly 13 to better function as a check valve.
[0039] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the outer side surface of the seat body 132 is provided with an annular notch 05, and the sealing member 134 includes a sealing portion 1341 and a fixing rib 1342. The fixing rib 1342 and the sealing portion 1341 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber and silica gel, and have very good elasticity. The fixing rib 1342 is tightly attached to the inside of the notch 05, and the fixing rib 1342 is integrally formed with the sealing portion 1341 and located at the edge of the sealing portion 1341. In this way, the sealing property of the closed sealing space formed between the resisting member 131, the sealing member 134 and the seat body 132 can be ensured, and the components of the opening and closing assembly 13 can be easily assembled and disassembled, which facilitates production, processing and replacement.
[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 The seat body 132 and the first part 01 are provided with a limiting portion 04 on the opposite surface. The limiting portion 04 can abut against the first part 01 to limit the movement range of the resisting member 131. In actual application, when the water flow pushes the resisting member 131 away, the resisting member 131 moves away from the end surface 141. During the movement of the resisting member 131, the elastic member 133 is compressed. When the resisting member 131 moves to a predetermined position, the limiting portion 04 abuts against the resisting member 131, so that the resisting member 131 cannot continue to move away from the end surface 141. In this way, the elastic member 133 is prevented from being excessively compressed and damaged, and the service life of the elastic member 133 is prolonged, which is beneficial to the opening and closing assembly 13 to better play the role of a one-way valve.
[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The end surface 141 is provided with a sealing ring 12. It can be understood that the sealing ring 12 can also be arranged on the opposite surface of the resisting member 131 and the end surface 141. The sealing ring 12 can enhance the sealing property of the resisting member 131 when abutting against the end surface 141, and more effectively prevent the backflow of pure water in the pure water channel 102, which is beneficial to the opening and closing assembly 13 to better play the role of a one-way valve.
