Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water treatment technology, and in particular relates to a combined water purifier filter element. Background Technology

[0002] Water purifier filter cartridges are the core components of water purifiers used for filtering and purifying water. Their function is to remove residual chlorine, some heavy metal ions, and some organic pollutants from the water using filter materials (such as activated carbon, ultrafiltration membranes, etc.).

[0003] In general, most water purifiers do not use just one filter cartridge, but combine filter cartridges with different functions to form multi-layer filtration to achieve better purification effect. A common combination is "PP cotton + activated carbon + reverse osmosis membrane + post-activated carbon". In addition, filter cartridges will gradually become clogged or saturated during use, lose their filtration capacity, and even become a source of secondary pollution. Therefore, regularly replacing filter cartridges is the key to ensuring the normal operation of water purifiers and the quality of the output water.

[0004] However, existing modular water purifier filter cartridges integrate different functional filter units into a common shell or structure. It is connected to the water purifier as a whole, which means that when a filter unit needs to be replaced, the user needs to replace the entire modular water purifier filter cartridge, which is costly and wasteful. Therefore, a modular water purifier filter cartridge is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The inner cylinder 21 and the sealing plate 23 are both placed inside the outer cylinder 11, and the outer walls of the inner cylinder 21 and the sealing plate 23 are in contact with the inner wall of the outer cylinder 11.

[0028] In this embodiment, the user first removes the sealing cap 12 from the outer cylinder 11; then the inner cylinder 21 is removed from the outer cylinder 11; finally, the user removes the sealing plate 23 corresponding to the filter material 24 that needs to be replaced; in this way, the user can replace multiple filter materials 24 separately, reducing maintenance costs and avoiding waste.

[0029] Specifically, a pair of sealing caps 12 are provided, and the upper and lower ends of the outer cylinder 11 are respectively provided with mounting grooves 111, and each sealing cap 12 is threadedly connected to each mounting groove 111.

[0030] In this embodiment, when one of the filter materials 24 needs to be replaced, the user first rotates one of the sealing caps 12 to disconnect the sealing cap 12 from the threaded connection in the mounting groove 111.

[0031] Specifically, the upper and lower ends of the inner cylinder 21 are respectively provided with an inlet pipe 211 and an outlet pipe 212, and the sealing cover 12 is provided with an installation hole 121. The inlet pipe 211 and the outlet pipe 212 are both adapted to the installation hole 121, and the inlet pipe 211 and the outlet pipe 212 extend out of the inner cylinder 21 by a certain distance through the installation hole 121.

[0032] In this embodiment, during use, water in the water purifier enters the inner cylinder 21 through the inlet pipe 211, and is filtered by multiple filter materials 24 and multi-layer filter plates 22 under the action of gravity, and finally flows out of the inner cylinder 21 from the outlet pipe 212.

[0033] Specifically, the inner cylinder 21 has a limiting groove 213, and the opposite sidewall of the sealing plate 23 has a limiting block 231. The limiting groove 213 is provided in multiple sets, and each set of limiting groove 213 is provided in pairs. Each set of limiting groove 213 is placed between two adjacent filter plates 22, and the limiting block 231 is adapted to the limiting groove 213.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the replacement is completed, the limiting block 231 on the sealing plate 23 is re-inserted into the limiting groove 213 on the inner cylinder 21. By setting the limiting block 231 and the limiting groove 213, the sealing plate 23 and the inner cylinder 21 are prevented from shifting.

[0035] Specifically, the inner housing assembly 2 also includes a fixing rod 25, the side wall of the filter plate 22 has a snap-fit ​​block 221, the fixing rod 25 abuts against the outer side wall of the sealing plate 23, and the fixing rod 25 is detachably connected to a plurality of snap-fit ​​blocks 221;

[0036] Specifically, the inner housing assembly 2 also includes a fixing stud 26, the filter plate 22 has a snap-fit ​​groove 222 at one end forming the snap-fit ​​block 221, the fixing rod 25 is disposed in the snap-fit ​​groove 222, the upper end of the fixing rod 25 is rotatably connected to the uppermost snap-fit ​​block 221, the fixing stud 26 is connected to the lower end of the fixing rod 25 and the lowermost snap-fit ​​block 221, and the fixing stud 26 is threadedly connected to the lowermost snap-fit ​​groove 222.

In this way, by setting the fixing rod 25, multiple sealing plates 23 are fixedly connected to the inner cylinder 21 to prevent the filter material 24 from leaking out.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0039] When in use, water in the water purifier enters the inner cylinder 21 through the inlet pipe 211, and is filtered by multiple filter materials 24 and multiple filter plates 22 under the action of gravity, and finally flows out of the inner cylinder 21 through the outlet pipe 212.

[0040] When one of the filter element materials 24 needs to be replaced, the user first rotates one of the sealing caps 12 to disconnect the threaded connection between the sealing cap 12 and the mounting groove 111; then removes the inner cylinder 21 from the outer cylinder 11; next, disconnects the threaded connection between the fixing stud 26 and the bottommost snap-fit ​​groove 222; then rotates the fixing rod 25 to move the fixing rod 25 away from the sealing plate 23; finally, the user removes the sealing plate 23 corresponding to the filter element material 24 that needs to be replaced; in this way, the user can replace multiple filter element materials 24 separately, reducing maintenance costs and avoiding waste;

[0041] After replacement, the limiting block 231 on the sealing plate 23 is repositioned into the limiting groove 213 on the inner cylinder 21, and the fixing rod 25 is rotated to make the fixing rod 25 abut against the sealing plate 23. The fixing stud 26 is rotated to make the lower end of the fixing rod 25 fixedly connected to the last snap-fit ​​block 221. Then, the inner cylinder 21 is repositioned into the outer cylinder 11, and finally the sealing cover 12 is rotated to make the sealing cover 12 threadedly connected to the mounting groove 111 on the outer cylinder 11. In this way, by setting the limiting block 231 and the limiting groove 213, the sealing plate 23 is prevented from shifting from the inner cylinder 21, and by setting the fixing rod 25, multiple sealing plates 23 are fixedly connected to the inner cylinder 21 to prevent the filter material 24 from leaking out.

[0042] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
