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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this utility model provides a technical solution: a pre- and post-filter composite filter structure, comprising: a filter housing 9; a pre-filter section placed inside the filter housing 9, the pre-filter section including a front lower end cover 4 fixed inside the filter cover 1, a pre-filter material 3 sleeved on the outer side of the front lower end cover 4, a water channel one formed between the outer wall of the pre-filter material 3 and the inner wall of the filter housing 9, and a water channel two formed between the inner wall of the pre-filter material 3 and the front lower end cover 4; a post-filter section placed below the pre-filter section, the post-filter section including a rear upper end cover 5 installed inside the front lower end cover 4, a water channel three between the front lower end cover 4 and the rear upper end cover 5, a post-filter material 6 installed at the bottom of the rear upper end cover 5, the middle part of the post-filter material 6 communicating with the middle part of the rear upper end cover 5, and the middle part of the post-filter material 6 and the middle part of the rear upper end cover 5 forming a water channel four.

[0021] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the pre-filter media 3 performs coarse filtration of tap water or raw water, intercepting and removing residual chlorine, impurities, and large particles such as sediment. The pre-filter lower end cover 4 consists of a sealing ring and a pre-filter lower end cover, which is connected to the filter element cover assembly 1 through an interference fit of the sealing ring. The other end is fixedly connected to the pre-filter media 3 by hot melt adhesive. This mainly isolates the purified water from the raw water in the pre-filter, preventing cross-contamination between the pre-filter and post-filter water circuits. The post-filter upper end cover 5 consists of a sealing ring and a post-filter upper end cover, which is connected to the filter element cover assembly 1 through an interference fit of the sealing ring. The other end is fixedly connected to the pre-filter media 3 by hot melt adhesive. This mainly isolates the raw water from the post-filter. It is isolated from the post-purified water to achieve the separation of raw water before post-purification and purified water; the post-filter media 6 mainly performs secondary filtration of the water after coarse filtration, removes odors from the water and improves the taste of the water. During filtration, water passes through water passage 1 between the pre-filter media 3 and the filter element housing 9 and enters water passage 2 inside the pre-filter media 3. Then, water enters water passage 3 between the pre-filter lower end cover 4 and the post-filter upper end cover 5 from the top of water passage 2. Water flows down from water passage 3 to between the post-filter media 6 and the post-filter sleeve 7. Then, under water pressure, water passes through the post-filter media 6 and enters water passage 4 inside the post-filter media 6. Finally, the filtered water is discharged from the top through the inside of the post-filter upper end cover 5.

[0022] In one embodiment, a filter element cover 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter element housing 9. A front water inlet 10 and a front water outlet 11 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the filter element cover 1.

It is fixedly connected to the filter element housing assembly 9 by spin welding to form a complete filter element. The internal part is fixedly connected to the front upper end cover 2, the front lower end cover 4 and the rear upper end cover 5 by the interference fit of the sealing ring, dividing the internal part of the filter element into four water channels to prevent internal water leakage. The front water inlet 10, the front water outlet 11, the rear water inlet 12 and the rear water outlet 13 are controlled by the corresponding water pipes and valves to control the corresponding water flow in and out.

[0024] In one embodiment, the bottom of the filter element cover 1 is fixedly connected to the front upper cover 2, the top of the front lower cover 4 extends through the middle of the front upper cover 2 and is connected to the filter element cover 1, and the pre-filter material 3 is installed between the front upper cover 2 and the front lower cover 4.

[0025] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the front upper cover 2 is composed of a sealing ring and a front upper cover. It is connected to the filter cover assembly 1 by the interference fit of the sealing ring, and the other end is fixedly connected to the pre-filter material 3 by hot melt adhesive. The main purpose is to separate the raw water and the purified water in the pre-filter so as to achieve the separation of the raw water before purification and the purified water.

[0026] In one embodiment, a rear sleeve 7 is installed at the bottom inside the filter element cover 1, and a rear lower end cover 8 is installed inside the rear sleeve 7. The bottom of the pre-filter material 3 is connected to the top of the rear sleeve 7, and the rear filter material 6 is installed between the rear upper end cover 5 and the rear lower end cover 8.

[0027] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the rear sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the front lower end cover assembly 4 by spin welding, forming an independent cavity inside, which is the rear purification cavity, mainly used to isolate the rear water circuit from the front water circuit; the rear lower end cover 8 is fixedly connected to the rear filter material 6 by hot melt adhesive to prevent the water before and after purification from mixing.
