[0007] Preferably, a rotating wheel, made of stainless steel, is fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem. The rotating wheel facilitates the rotation of the valve stem.

[0008] Preferably, the position and number of the top pins correspond to the mesh size of the filter screen. The top pins can be used to unclog the mesh of the filter screen.

[0009] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the hollow ring, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the plug. A spring is installed inside the plug, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the guide rod and the other end of the spring fixedly connected to the inner surface of the plug. The guide rod and spring provide elastic support and guidance for the plug.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-loosening mechanism includes a locking disc slidably connected to the outside of the valve stem body, and the locking disc contacts the valve seat. A locking block is fixedly connected to the top of the valve seat, and the locking block engages with the locking disc. The anti-loosening mechanism prevents the valve stem from loosening after rotational adjustment.

[0011] Preferably, two connecting rods are fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking disc, and a pull ring is fixedly connected to the top of both connecting rods, with the pull ring located on the outside of the valve stem. The connecting rods and pull ring facilitate pulling up the locking disc.

[0012] Preferably, a guide block is fixedly connected to the inner ring wall of the locking disc, and the guide block is slidably connected to the valve stem. The guide block provides a guiding function for the locking disc.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model incorporates a filter screen within the valve body to filter large particles from the medium flowing through the valve. Additionally, a protrusion is positioned at the end of the valve stem, and a combination of a hollow ring and a plug is placed next to the filter screen. By rotating the valve stem, the protrusion pushes the plug, thus opening and closing the valve. Furthermore, multiple pins are placed on the plug, with their positions and numbers corresponding to the mesh size of the filter screen. This helps to unclog the filter screen and prevent blockage.

[0015] 2. This utility model provides a locking mechanism on the valve seat. The locking disc in the locking mechanism can slide axially on the valve stem via a guide block. A locking block is provided on the valve seat. When the locking disc and the locking block engage, the valve stem is locked. This prevents the valve stem from loosening, thereby preventing the valve body from failing to seal properly due to valve stem loosening. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 A filter-type drain valve with an anti-clogging structure includes a valve body 1, a valve seat 2 on the valve body 1, a valve stem 3 mounted on the top of the valve seat 2 via a bearing, the valve stem 3 passing through the valve seat 2, a protrusion 4 fixedly connected to the lower end of the valve stem 3, and a rotating wheel 5 made of stainless steel fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem 3. The rotating wheel 5 facilitates the rotation of the valve stem 3.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 A filter screen 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the valve body 1. A hollow ring 8 is also fixedly connected to the inner side of the valve body 1. A plug 9 is slidably connected to the inner side of the hollow ring 8. A top pin 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the plug 9 closest to the filter screen 7. The position and number of top pins 10 correspond to the mesh size of the filter screen 7. The mesh size of the filter screen 7 can be cleared by the top pins 10. A guide rod 11 is fixedly connected to the hollow ring 8. The guide rod 11 is slidably connected to the plug 9. A spring 12 is installed inside the plug 9. One end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 11, and the other end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the plug 9. The guide rod 11 and the spring 12 provide elastic support and guidance for the plug 9.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4An anti-loosening mechanism 6 is provided on the valve seat 2. This mechanism prevents the valve stem 3 from loosening after rotational adjustment. The anti-loosening mechanism 6 includes a locking disc 61 slidably connected to the outside of the valve stem 3, and the locking disc 61 contacts the valve seat 2. A locking block 65 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve seat 2, and the locking block 65 engages with the locking disc 61. Two connecting rods 62 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking disc 61, and a pull ring 63 is fixedly connected to the top of both connecting rods 62, located on the outside of the valve stem 3. The connecting rods 62 and the pull ring 63 facilitate pulling up the locking disc 61. A guide block 64 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the locking disc 61, and the guide block 64 is slidably connected to the valve stem 3. The guide block 64 guides the locking disc 61.

[0026] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, the locking disc 61 is pulled upward by the pull ring 63 and the connecting rod 62, so that the locking disc 61 is disengaged from the locking block 65, thereby releasing the restriction on the valve stem 3. Then, the rotating wheel 5 rotates to the valve stem 3, and the valve stem 3 drives the protrusion 4 to rotate. The longer end of the protrusion 4 will apply a pushing force to the plug 9, so that it creates a gap with the hollow ring 8, thereby opening the valve body 1. The medium can flow in the valve body 1 and will be filtered out by the filter screen 7. Then, the pull ring 63 is released, and the locking disc 61 falls down and re-engages with the locking block 65, which can prevent the valve stem 3 from loosening. In addition, the protrusion 4 is rotated to insert the top pin 10 on the plug 9 into the mesh of the filter screen 7, which can clear the filter screen 7 and prevent the valve body 1 from being blocked.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
