[0018] In this preferred embodiment, the backwashing assembly is a linkage valve assembly, which includes a drain valve, a pneumatic actuator 9, and a compressed air control valve 8; the pneumatic actuator 9 is connected to the drain valve and the compressed air control valve 8; the compressed air control valve 8 is located within the pneumatic system.

[0019] In this preferred embodiment, the upper end of the rotary valve 24 is connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 26; the lower end is a hollow sewage pipe; the lower part of the sewage pipe is connected to the sewage outlet; and the sewage valve is located at the connection position between the lower part of the sewage pipe and the sewage outlet.

[0020] In this preferred embodiment, the pneumatic system includes an air source, a one-way valve 1, an air filter 2, a two-way valve 3, an actuator solenoid valve 7, a pressure reducing valve 4, an air storage chamber 20, and pipelines; the air storage chamber 20 is connected to the pressure reducing valve 4 via a pipeline; the actuator solenoid valve 7 is connected to the pressure reducing valve 4 via a pipeline; the other side of the actuator solenoid valve 7 is connected to a pneumatic actuator 9; the air storage chamber 20 is connected to the self-cleaning filter body 22 via an air source and pipelines; a compressed air control valve 8 for a backwashing assembly is provided between the air storage chamber 20 and the self-cleaning filter body 22.

[0021] In this preferred embodiment, a pressure gauge 6 and a safety valve 5 are provided on the gas storage chamber 20.

[0022] In this preferred embodiment, the filter chamber 25 is further provided with a differential pressure transmitter 11 for measuring the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet; a shut-off valve 12 is provided between the differential pressure transmitter 11 and the filter chamber 25.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] The working principle of a self-cleaning filter: A self-cleaning filter can be divided into a normal filtration state and a backwashing state.

[0025] Normal filtration state of the filter:

[0026] The filter medium flows from the inlet flange into the base 21 and then into the filter element assembly 23. The liquid flows from the outside of the screen to the inside of the filter element, and the impurities are retained by the screen. The filtered liquid flows through the filter chamber 25 and from the filter body 22 to the filter outlet.

[0027] The compressed air used for backwashing flows through check valve 1, air filter 2, and check valve 3, then through pressure reducing valve 4 to reach air storage chamber 20. At the same time, it passes through actuator solenoid valve 7 to reach one side of the drive head. The drive head is equipped with two valves that can be opened or closed at the same time, namely a drain valve and an air control valve.

[0028] In this state, the drain valve and air control valve are closed, and compressed air accumulates in the air storage chamber in preparation for backwashing.

[0029] Backwashing process:

[0030] As the filter operates for longer periods, more and more impurities are trapped on the filter element, creating an increasing pressure difference between the filter inlet and outlet. When the pressure difference reaches a certain value, the pressure difference transmitter 11 sends a signal to trigger the electrical system and begin a cleaning cycle.

[0031] When the cleaning cycle begins, the geared motor 26 is activated, and the rotary valve 24 is switched from the standby filter chamber to the filter chamber 5 that needs to be rinsed. The clean filter element in the standby filter chamber participates in filtration, causing the pressure difference to drop immediately. Once the rotary valve is switched to the filter chamber that needs to be rinsed, it stops operating. The electrically controlled actuator solenoid valve 7 is energized, causing the air in the original chamber of the drive head to be emptied, and compressed air to enter on the other side. Driven by the drive head, the drain valve and the air control valve rotate 90° simultaneously, opening the drain port and the air control valve. Compressed air enters the self-cleaning filter body 22 through the opened air control valve, and then enters the filter chamber 5 through the rotary valve 24. The compressed air in the air storage chamber causes the liquid in the filter chamber to flow back to the filter element, washing away the impurities adhering to the filter screen. After a short backwashing period, the actuator solenoid valve 7 is de-energized, and the drain port and air port are closed simultaneously.

[0032] In this device, the rotary valve 24 is installed inside the self-cleaning filter body 22, eliminating the need for internal backwash control components. The air storage chamber 20 is optimally positioned at the bottom of the filter. The rotary valve 24, backwash structure, and air storage chamber 20 are installed in three separate locations, allowing for independent installation and simplified maintenance.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
