In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, a water purification device is provided, which filters raw water through a filter.

[0048] The water purification device comprises a pre-filter, which is mainly used for filtering impurities such as silt, rust, floating matter and the like in water.

[0049] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the pre-filter,Figure 2 A sectional view of a pre-filter. The pre-filter comprises a housing 100. The housing 100 is provided with a water inlet 131, a water outlet 132 and a drain 133, which are all in communication with the inner cavity of the housing 100.

[0050] The pre-filter further comprises a filter assembly 200. The filter assembly 200 is arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 100. The filter assembly 200 comprises a first spring 210, which is configured to filter water flowing therethrough. The pitch gap of the first spring 210 constitutes a filtering gap, which filters water flowing therethrough. The filtering precision is related to the pitch size of the first spring 210.

[0051] The pre-filter further comprises a drain assembly 300. The drain assembly 300 is arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 100. The drain assembly 300 is configured to move along the axial direction of the first spring 210 to change the water flow direction and adjust the extension state of the first spring 210.

[0052] Specifically, the filter assembly 200 divides the inner cavity space of the housing 100 into a first water passing space 110 and a second water passing space 120. When water flows from the first water passing space 110 to the second water passing space 120, the filter assembly 200 filters the water flowing therethrough, i.e., the water flows through the first spring 210 and is filtered by the pitch gap on the first spring 210. When water flows from the second water passing space 120 to the first water passing space 110, the water flow reversely flushes the filter assembly 200 to flush away the impurities accumulated on the first spring 210.

[0053] The drain assembly 300 can move along the axial direction of the first spring 210. The above-mentioned change of the water flow direction refers to the movement of the drain assembly 300, which makes the water flow from the first water passing space 110 to the second water passing space 120 or from the second water passing space 120 to the first water passing space 110.

[0054] When the pre-filter is filtering, referring to Figure 3 , the drain assembly 300 is in the first position, the first spring 210 is in the contracted state, the water inlet 131 is in communication with the first water passing space 110, and the water outlet 132 is in communication with the second water passing space 120. The water flowing in from the water inlet 131 first enters the first water passing space 110, is filtered by the first spring 210, then flows into the second water passing space 120, and finally flows out through the water outlet 132.

[0055] When the pre-filter is flushing, referring to Figure 4, the first spring 210 is in a stretched state, and the length of the first spring 210 is elongated, so that the impurities adsorbed on the first spring 210 are easily washed away.

[0056] In the pre-filter in the present application, the first spring 210 acts as a filter screen, and the gap of the first spring 210 is used to filter the impurities in the water. Compared with the woven filter screen in the prior art, the spring filter screen has more filtering gaps and smaller resistance to water flow under the same filtering area. When the first spring 210 is back-flushed, the first spring 210 is stretched, and the gap is increased, so that the impurities adsorbed on the first spring 210 are easily washed away by the water flow, thereby improving the washing effect.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the length of the drain assembly 300 is adjustable to adjust the pitch of the first spring 210. In other words, by adjusting the length of the drain assembly 300, the pitch of the first spring 210 is adjusted, so that the filtering precision is adjusted. The longer the length of the drain assembly 300 is, the larger the pitch of the first spring 210 is. The shorter the length of the drain assembly 300 is, the smaller the pitch of the first spring 210 is.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the filter assembly 200 further comprises a first support portion 220, Figure 5 is a structural view of the first support portion 220, Figure 6 is a sectional view of the first support portion 220. The first support portion 220 is fixedly arranged in the inner cavity of the shell 100. The first support portion 220 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The first spring 210 is sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the first support portion 220. The outer side of the first support portion 220 is the first water flowing space 110, and the inner part of the first support portion 220 forms the second water flowing space 120. The first support portion 220 is provided with a first water inlet 222 to communicate the first water flowing space 110 with the second water flowing space 120.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, a plurality of vertical ribs 221 are arranged on the circumferential wall of the first support portion 220, and the first water inlet 222 is formed between adjacent two vertical ribs 221. The area of the first water inlet 222 is large enough to reduce the resistance to water flow. The first support portion 220 supports and installs the first spring 210.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, one end of the first spring 210 abuts against the first support portion 220, and the other end abuts against the drainage assembly 300. Thus, when the drainage assembly 300 moves along the axial direction of the first spring 210, the length of the first spring 210 will increase or decrease.

[0061] by Figure 2 Taking the indicated orientation as an example, the first spring 210 and the drainage assembly 300 are arranged vertically. The upper end of the first spring 210 is fixed against the first support 220, and the lower end of the first spring 210 is against the drainage assembly 300. When the drainage assembly 300 moves upward, it causes the lower end of the first spring 210 to move upward, and the first spring 210 contracts. When the drainage assembly 300 moves downward, it causes the lower end of the first spring 210 to move downward, and the length of the first spring 210 increases.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, a first limiting part 230 is sleeved on the first support part 220. Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of the first limiting part 230. Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view of the first limiting part 230. The first limiting part 230 is connected to the drainage assembly 300 and abuts against the first spring 210. The first limiting part 230 moves along the axial direction of the first support part 220 under the drive of the drainage assembly 300.

[0063] Specifically, the first limiting part 230 is a cylindrical structure open at both ends, and is fitted onto the outer periphery of the first support part 220. The first limiting part 230 includes a circumferential wall 231, which is fitted onto the outer periphery of the first support part 220. An abutment platform 235 is provided on the inner wall of the circumferential wall 231, and the position of the abutment platform 235 is lower than the upper end surface of the circumferential wall 231. The lower end of the first spring 210 is located in the gap between the first support part 220 and the first limiting part 230, and abuts against the abutment platform 235. This gap helps to improve the fixing reliability of the lower end of the first spring 210.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, the first limiting portion 230 further includes a bottom wall 232, on which an opening 236 is provided, through which a portion of the drainage component 300 passes. The bottom wall 232 is provided with a plurality of first extending ribs 233, which extend laterally and are spaced apart circumferentially along the opening 236. The drainage component 300 is provided with a groove 313, in which the first extending ribs 233 are engaged, thereby achieving a fixed installation between the first limiting portion 230 and the drainage component 300.

[0065] The bottom wall 232 is also provided with a plurality of spaced second extension ribs 234, which extend vertically and abut against the drainage component 300.

[0066] The first extension rib 233 and the second extension rib 234 are arranged to connect the first limiting part 230 and the drainage assembly 300 in multiple places, which helps to improve the connection reliability between the first limiting part 230 and the drainage assembly 300. When the first limiting part 230 is driven by the drainage assembly 300 to move upward to abut against the bottom wall 232 and the first supporting part 220, the drainage assembly 300 is moved upward to a position, which limits the upward movement of the drainage assembly 300.

[0067] In addition, the circumferential wall 231 of the first limiting part 230 is sleeved with the first supporting part 220, and the first limiting part 230 can move up and down relative to the first supporting part 220 under the driving of the drainage assembly 300. The mutual sleeving between the first limiting part 230 and the first supporting part 220 guides the upward and downward movement of the first limiting part 230 and the drainage assembly 300.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the pre-filter further comprises a drainage port 133. The drainage assembly 300 comprises a first drainage part 310, Figure 9 A structure diagram of the first drainage part 310. The first drainage part 310 is provided with a second water passage 314 to communicate the first water flowing space 110 and the drainage port 133. When the pre-filter is flushed, the first drainage part 310 drives the first spring 210 to stretch.

[0069] Specifically, the first drainage part 310 comprises a first drainage horizontal part 312 and a first drainage vertical part 311, which are fixedly connected. The first drainage vertical part 311 penetrates the through port 236, and the outer circumferential wall of the first drainage vertical part 311 is provided with a groove 313. The first drainage horizontal part 312 is in sealing contact with the inner circumferential wall of the shell 100, and a sealing ring is arranged at the contact position. The second extension rib 234 abuts against the first drainage horizontal part 312. When the drainage assembly 300 moves upward or downward, the first drainage horizontal part 312 and the inner circumferential wall of the shell 100 always maintain a sealing state. The first water flowing space 110 and the second water flowing space 120 are both located above the first drainage horizontal part 312, and the water in the first water flowing space 110 flows to the lower part of the first drainage horizontal part 312 through the second water passage 314, and then is discharged from the drainage port 133. The second water passage 314 can be arranged on the first drainage horizontal part 312 or the first drainage vertical part 311. The water flowing gap is formed between two adjacent second extension ribs 234.

[0070] When the pre-filter is flushed, the water entering from the water inlet 131 first flows into the second water flow space 120. Since the drain assembly 300 is partially located in the second water flow space 120, under the impact of the water flow, the drain assembly 300 as a whole moves towards the direction close to the drain port 133. Then, the first drain part 310 drives the first limiting part 230 to move downward synchronously, the length of the first spring 210 increases, the pitch gap of the first spring 210 increases, the water in the second water flow space 120 flows into the first water flow space 110 through the gap, and the impurities on the first spring 210 are flushed away. The water carrying the impurities flows to the lower side of the first drain horizontal part 312 from the second water outlet 314, and finally is drained from the drain port 133.

[0071] When the reverse flushing is performed, the downward movement of the drain assembly 300 is realized by the impact of the water flow. The drain assembly 300 is arranged to be linked with the first spring 210, so as to realize the synchronous elongation of the first spring 210, increase the gap of the first spring 210, and improve the flushing effect of the impurities. The driving mechanism of the first spring 210 is not additionally arranged, the structure is compact, and the operation is reliable.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the first supporting part 220 is provided with a mounting groove 223, and the first drain part 310 has a part located in the mounting groove 223. Specifically, the end of the first supporting part 220 is provided with the mounting groove 223 with an open bottom, and the first drain vertical part 311 is located in the mounting groove 223. A sealing ring is arranged between the outer peripheral wall of the first drain vertical part 311 and the inner peripheral wall of the mounting groove 223. The sleeving structure between the first drain vertical part 311 and the mounting groove 223 helps to improve the mounting stability of the first supporting part 220. The upper end of the first supporting part 220 is fixed, and the lower end is fixed by the sleeving between the first drain vertical part 311, which also plays a guiding role in the up-down movement of the drain assembly 300.

[0073] The top of the mounting groove 223 is provided with an opening, and the first drain vertical part 311 penetrates through the opening. In this way, the up-down movement of the drain assembly 300 will not cause the movement of the first supporting part 220.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the drain assembly 300 further comprises a second drain part 320, Figure 10 A structure diagram of the second drain part 320. The second drain part 320 is connected with the first drain part 310, and the second drain part 320 penetrates through the second water flow space 120. The second drain part 320 is configured to move along the axial direction of the first spring 210, so as to adjust the water flowing from the water inlet 131 of the pre-filter into one of the first water flow space 110 and the second water flow space 120.

[0075] Specifically, the second drainage part 320 comprises a second support part 321, the second support part 321 is a long rod structure, and the second support part 321 is located in the second water flowing space 120. One end of the second support part 321 is fixedly connected with the first drainage vertical part 311. The other end of the second support part 321 is provided with a third water outlet 325, and the second water outlet 314 is used for connecting the water inlet 131 and the second water flowing space 120. The other end of the second support part 321 is also provided with an extension part 324, the extension part 324 extends into the first water flowing space 110, and the extension part 324 is located below the third water outlet 325. The outer wall of the second support part 321 is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the first support part 220. The water inlet 131 and the water outlet 132 are provided with a partition wall 140, and the water inlet 131 and the water outlet 132 are separated.

[0076] When the pre-filter is filtering, referring to Figure 3 , the drainage assembly 300 is in the first position, the third water outlet 325 is located on one side of the water outlet 132, and because the outer wall of the second support part 321 is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the first support part 220, at this time, the water inlet 131 is not connected with the second water flowing space 120, and the water inlet 131 is connected with the first water flowing space 110, and the water flowing from the water inlet 131 first flows into the first water flowing space 110.

[0077] When the pre-filter is reverse flushing, referring to Figure 4 , the drainage assembly 300 moves downward, and the drainage assembly 300 is in the second position, at this time, the third water outlet 325 moves downward to be connected with the water inlet 131, and the extension part 324 also moves downward synchronously, and the extension part 324 closes the water inlet side of the first water flowing space 110, and the water flowing from the water inlet 131 flows into the second water flowing space 120 through the third water outlet 325.

[0078] In some embodiments of the application, the second drainage part 320 is provided with a second spring 330, the second spring 330 abuts against the first support part 220, and the second spring 330 is configured to provide a restoring force to the drainage assembly 300.

[0079] Specifically, the second spring 330 is sleeved on the second support part 321, and the second support part 321 is also sleeved with a second limiting part 322. The upper end of the second spring 330 abuts against the second limiting part 322, and the lower end abuts against the top of the mounting groove 223. When the pre-filter is reverse flushing, the drainage assembly 300 moves downward as a whole, and because one end of the second spring 330 abuts against the fixed first support part 220, the second spring 330 is contracted, and after the reverse flushing is completed, the drainage assembly 300 is reset under the elastic force of the second spring 330.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the first drainage part 310 is threadedly connected with the second drainage part 320. Specifically, the second support part 321 is threadedly connected with the first drainage vertical part 311. Through the threaded connection, the length adjustment of the drainage assembly 300 is realized, so that the pitch adjustment of the first spring 210 is realized, and then the filtering precision of the first spring 210 is adjusted.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the first drainage part 310 is snap-connected with the second drainage part 320. For example, a plurality of snaps are arranged on the inner wall of the first drainage vertical part 311, and the plurality of snaps are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the first drainage vertical part 311. A plurality of snap openings are correspondingly arranged on the second support part 321. The snaps at different heights are snap-connected with the snap openings, so that the length adjustment of the drainage assembly 300 is realized, so that the pitch adjustment of the first spring 210 is realized, and then the filtering precision of the first spring 210 is adjusted.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the pre-filter further comprises a water distributor 400. The water distributor 400 is located in the first water flowing space 110, and the water distributor 400 is sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the first support part 220. The water flowing from the water inlet 131 flows into the first water flowing space 110 through the water distributor 400. The water distributor 400 distributes the water flowing therethrough, so that the water flow is uniformly dispersed in the first water flowing space 110, which helps to improve the filtering effect.

[0083] One side of the water distributor 400 is sealingly connected with the inner wall of the shell 100, and the other side of the water distributor 400 is sealingly connected with the outer wall of the first support part 220. When the pre-filter is back-flushed, the drainage assembly 300 moves downward, the extension part 324 moves downward to abut against the water distributor 400, the extension part 324 covers the water flowing channel on the water distributor 400 to be closed, so that the water inlet 131 is isolated from the first water flowing space 110, and waterway switching is realized.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the pre-filter further comprises a first water stirring wheel 500. The first water stirring wheel 500 is located in the first water flowing space 110, and the first water stirring wheel 500 is sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the first support part 220. The first water stirring wheel 500 is located below the water distributor 400 and is arranged close to the water distributor 400. The first water stirring wheel 500 stirs the water flow flowing down from the water distributor 400, avoids the water flow from directly vertically falling down, and makes the water in the first water flowing space 110 more effectively flow into the second water flowing space 120 through the first spring 210, which helps to improve the filtering effect.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the pre-filter further comprises a second stirring wheel 323 located in the second water flow space 120, and the second stirring wheel 323 is sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the second supporting part 321. During the back flushing, the second stirring wheel 323 rotates under the action of water flow, so that the water is disturbed, which helps to increase the flushing effect.

[0086] In the description of the above-described embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0087] The above is only a specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
