[0054] For another example, the first filter bottle 100 and the second filter bottle 200 are respectively detachably connected with the third filter bottle 300. In this scheme, the first filter bottle 100 and the second filter bottle 200 can have a connection relationship or can have no connection relationship. Specifically, the first filter bottle 100 and the third filter bottle 300 are connected at the butt joint surface through buckling, screw threads or the like, and the waterway plug-in interfaces are arranged on the second filter bottle 200 and the third filter bottle 300, the two filter bottles are plugged in corresponding to the waterway plug-in interfaces, so as to realize the waterway communication between the third filter bottle 300 and the internal waterway 220, and also realize the connection between the second filter bottle 200 and the third filter bottle 300.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, a first guide part is arranged on the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and a second guide part is arranged on the outer wall of the second filter bottle 200, and the first guide part cooperates with the second guide part.

[0056] For example, the first guide part is a protrusion extending along the axial direction of the mounting cavity, the second guide part is a groove extending along the axial direction of the second filter bottle 200, and the protrusion is inserted into the groove. Through the sliding cooperation between the protrusion and the groove, the disassembly and assembly of the second filter bottle 200 are guided, and meanwhile, when the second filter bottle 200 is installed in place, the built-in water channel 220 is connected to the waterway interface of the third filter bottle 300 in a direct connection manner.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, a first connecting part is arranged on the end wall of the first filter bottle 100, and a second connecting part is arranged on the end wall of the third filter bottle 300, and the first connecting part is connected to the second connecting part.
