[0046] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0047] See Figures 1-11 This invention illustrates a preferred embodiment of a pre-filter device, comprising:
[0048] The housing 1 has an inner cavity 111, an inlet 112 and an outlet 113. The inlet 112 is used to communicate with an external water supply device (not shown in the figure).
[0049] The first filter element 2 is disposed in the inner cavity 111. The center of the first filter element 2 has a first purified water outlet channel 21, which extends along the axial direction of the first filter element 2 and is connected to the water outlet 113.
[0050] The second filter element 3 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the first filter element 2 and is connected to the first filter element 2.
[0051] The first end cap 4 is sleeved on the axial first end of the first filter element 2 and the axial first end of the second filter element 3 to seal the axial first ends of the first filter element 2 and the second filter element 3; and
[0052] The second end cap 5 is sleeved on the axial second end of the first filter element 2 and the axial second end of the second filter element 3 to seal the axial second end of the first filter element 2 and the axial second end of the second filter element 3. The second end cap 5, the outer peripheral wall of the second filter element 3 and the side wall of the inner cavity 111 form the raw water inlet channel 6, which is connected to the water inlet 112.
[0053] The pre-filter device of this utility model improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the second filter element 3 by sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the first filter element 2, which can avoid excessive occupation of the axial space of the housing 1, thereby greatly reducing the overall volume of the pre-filter device. In addition, the first filter element 2, the second filter element 3, the first end cap 4 and the second end cap 5 form a modular composite filter element structure, which facilitates the installation of the first filter element 2, the second filter element 3, the first end cap 4 and the second end cap 5 into the inner cavity 111. Furthermore, by forming a raw water inlet channel 6 between the outer peripheral wall of the second end cap 5 and the second filter element 3 and the side wall of the inner cavity 111, and forming a first purified water outlet channel 21 on the first filter element 2, the raw water inlet channel 6 is connected to the inlet 112, so that the raw water output from the external water supply device can be transported to the raw water inlet channel 6. The raw water then passes through the second filter element 3 and the first filter element 2 in sequence along the radial direction of the pre-filter device, so as to filter and purify the raw water in sequence by the second filter element 3 and the first filter element 2 to obtain purified water. The purified water is transported to the first purified water outlet channel 21, and the purified water in the first purified water outlet channel 21 is transported to the outside of the pre-filter device through the outlet 113 for use. In this way, by forming the raw water inlet channel 6 between the second end cover 5, the outer peripheral wall of the second filter element 3 and the side wall of the inner cavity 111, and forming the first purified water outlet channel 21 on the first filter element 2, the raw water inlet channel 6 and the first purified water outlet channel 21 are effectively isolated, which can effectively prevent crossflow between the raw water inlet channel 6 and the first purified water outlet channel 21, that is, it can prevent the raw water and purified water from mixing, thus improving the purity of the purified water.
[0054] In one embodiment, the first filter element 2 can be a carbon rod filter element, and the second filter element 3 can be PP cotton. The PP cotton is used to perform preliminary filtration of the raw water, and then the carbon rod filter element is used to perform deep filtration of the water output from the PP cotton. The combination of the two can effectively prevent the carbon rod filter element from clogging, extend the service life of the carbon rod filter element, reduce the cost of use, and at the same time, effectively improve the purity of the purified water.
[0055] In one embodiment, the aforementioned carbon rod filter element can specifically be a scale-inhibiting carbon rod filter element, which can inhibit scale formation, effectively prevent clogging of the carbon rod filter element, extend the service life of the carbon rod filter element, reduce the cost of use, and at the same time, effectively improve the purity of purified water.
[0056] See Figure 3In one embodiment, the second end cap 5 has a positioning part 51, which is inserted into the first purified water outlet channel 21. The positioning part 51 also has a second purified water outlet channel 511, which connects the first purified water outlet channel 21 and the outlet 113. Thus, the positioning part 51 and the first purified water outlet channel 21 can be used to position the first filter element 2, improving the connection stability between the second end cap 5 and the first filter element 2. Furthermore, the positioning part 51 forms the second purified water outlet channel 511, which guides the purified water output from the first purified water outlet channel 21, allowing the purified water to be delivered more smoothly to the outlet 113.
[0057] See Figure 10 In one embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the positioning part 51 is provided with a plurality of first isolation protrusions 512. The first isolation protrusions 512 extend along the axial direction of the positioning part 51. The plurality of first isolation protrusions 512 are arranged at intervals around the axial center line of the positioning part 51. The plurality of first isolation protrusions 512 abut against the side wall of the first purified water outlet channel 21, that is, the plurality of first isolation protrusions 512 abut against the inner wall of the first filter element 2, so that the purified water filtered by the first filter element 2 can be output to the first purified water outlet channel 21, thereby improving the water production efficiency.
[0058] See Figure 10 In one embodiment, the second end cap 5 has a first connecting groove 53, which is disposed around the positioning part 51. The first connecting groove 53 is adapted to the second end of the second filter element 3 to close the axial second end of the first filter element 2 and the axial second end of the second filter element 3, while increasing the contact area between the second end cap 5 and the second filter element 3, which is beneficial to further improve the connection stability of the second end cap 5 and the second filter element 3.
[0059] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the first connecting groove 53 and the axial second end of the first filter element 2 and the axial second end of the second filter element 3 are bonded together with adhesive, and the side wall of the first connecting groove 53 and the axial second end side wall of the second filter element 3 are bonded together with adhesive to reliably seal the axial second end of the first filter element 2 and the axial second end of the second filter element 3. At the same time, the second end cap 5 is more firmly connected to the first filter element 2 and the second filter element 3.
[0060] See Figures 3-4 as well as Figures 6-7 In one embodiment, the housing 1 includes:
[0061] The shell 11 has an inlet 112 and an outlet 113 at its first end, and a mounting port at its second end for the composite filter element structure formed by the first filter element 2, the second filter element 3, the first end cap 4, and the second end cap 5 to enter and exit the shell 11; and
[0062] The cover 12 is placed over the second end of the body 11 and closes the mounting opening. The cover 12 and the body 11 form an inner cavity 111. Thus, after assembling the first filter element 2, the second filter element 3, the first end cap 4, and the second end cap 5 to form a modular composite filter element structure, the composite filter element structure is then installed into the body 11, and finally the cover 12 is sealed to complete the assembly. The assembly operation is convenient and efficient.
[0063] See Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 In one embodiment, the first end of the shell 11 has a third purified water outlet channel 114, the third purified water outlet channel 114 comprising:
[0064] The first purified water outlet section 1141 is located between the shell 11 and the second end cap 5. The first purified water outlet section 1141 extends along the axial direction of the shell 11, which is also the axial direction. Figure 4 As shown in the vertical direction, one end of the first purified water outlet section 1141 is connected to the first purified water outlet channel 21. It can be understood that the first purified water outlet section 1141 is connected to the first purified water outlet channel 21 via the second purified water outlet channel 511; and
[0065] The second purified water outlet section 1142 extends radially along the shell 11, which is also known as the second purified water outlet section 1142. Figure 4 As shown in the left-right direction, the second purified water outlet section 1142 connects the other end of the first purified water outlet section 1141 and the outlet 113, with the outlet 113 located on the side of the first end of the shell 11. The third purified water outlet channel 114, composed of the first purified water outlet section 1141 and the second purified water outlet section 1142, has an L-shaped structure. This facilitates the connection between the outlet 113 and the first purified water outlet channel 21, while also increasing the resistance of purified water at the outlet 113 flowing back to the first purified water outlet channel 21 through the third purified water outlet channel 114, ensuring that purified water can be more smoothly discharged from the third purified water outlet channel 114 to the outlet 113.
[0066] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, the second end of the shell 11 is provided with a connecting protrusion 118, which is arranged around the axial center line of the shell 11.
[0067] The cover 12 has a second connecting groove 121, which is adapted to the connecting protrusion 118 to enable the cover 12 to be installed and positioned, so as to facilitate the quick connection of the cover 12 and the body 11 together.
[0068] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the second connecting groove 121 and the outer wall of the connecting protrusion 118 are bonded together with adhesive to reliably connect the cover 12 and the body 11 together.
[0069] See Figure 3 In one embodiment, the raw water inlet channel 6 includes:
[0070] The first raw water inlet section 61 is located between the side wall of the inner cavity 111 and the second end cap 5. The first raw water inlet section 61 extends along the axial direction of the shell 11, which is also the axial direction. Figure 3 In the vertical direction shown, one end of the first raw water inlet section 61 is connected to the inlet 112, and the inlet 112 is located at the end of the first end of the shell 11.
[0071] The second raw water inlet section 62 is located between the side wall of the inner cavity 111 and the second end cap 5. The second raw water inlet section 62 extends radially along the shell 11, which is also the radial direction. Figure 3 As shown in the left-right direction, one end of the second raw water inlet section 62 is connected to the other end of the first raw water inlet section 61; and
[0072] The third raw water inlet section 63 is located between the side wall of the inner cavity 111, the side wall of the second end cover 5, and the outer peripheral wall of the second filter element 3. The third raw water inlet section 63 extends axially along the pre-filter device and connects to the other end of the second raw water inlet section 62. The raw water inlet channel 6, composed of the first raw water inlet section 61, the second raw water inlet section 62, and the third raw water inlet section 63, is winding and tortuous, which can increase the resistance of the raw water at the third raw water inlet section 63 flowing back to the inlet 112 through the second raw water inlet section 62 and the first raw water inlet section 61, ensuring that the raw water can be delivered to the second filter element 3 more smoothly through the raw water inlet channel 6.
[0073] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, the shell 11 is provided with a plurality of second isolation protrusions 117, which are disposed in the inner cavity 111. The plurality of second isolation protrusions 117 are arranged at intervals around the axial center line of the shell 11, and the plurality of second isolation protrusions 117 abut against the end of the second end cap 5 to form the aforementioned second raw water inlet section 62.
[0074] See Figures 3-4 as well as Figures 6-7 In one embodiment, the housing 1 further includes:
[0075] The inner core 13 passes through the first end of the shell 11, the second end cover 5, the first clean water outlet channel 21 and the first end cover 4. The inner core 13 is used to provide radial support for the first end cover 4 and the second end cover 5 to improve the assembly stability of the first end cover 4 and the second end cover 5.
[0076] See Figure 11 In one embodiment, the sidewall of the third purified water outlet channel 114 is provided with a plurality of third isolation protrusions 513. The plurality of third isolation protrusions 513 are arranged around the axial center line of the third purified water outlet channel 114. The plurality of third isolation protrusions 513 abut against the outer peripheral wall of the inner core 13 so that the purified water output from the first purified water outlet channel 21 can be transported to the outlet 113 through the third purified water outlet channel 114. At the same time, it plays the role of fixing the inner core 13 and improving the assembly stability of the inner core 13.
[0077] join Figure 9 In one embodiment, the first end cap 4 has a third connecting groove 41, which is adapted to the first end of the second filter element 3 to seal the axial first end of the first filter element 2 and the axial second end of the second filter element 3.
