Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a valve head structure and a pre-filter of a cartridge type that can be easily disassembled and washed, belonging to the technical field of water purification equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The mainstream pre-filters in the current technology are of the bottom-mounted filter bottle type, including: a head unit, a filter bottle connected to the head unit at the top, and a drain ball valve connected to the bottom of the filter bottle. A filter screen frame is installed inside the filter bottle, and a filter screen is fitted onto the outer wall of the filter screen frame. During use, water flows from the inlet of the head unit into the gap between the filter bottle and the filter screen. After being filtered by the filter screen, water flows into the center of the filter screen frame, and then from the center of the filter screen frame to the outlet of the head unit. When drainage is required, the drain ball valve at the bottom of the filter bottle is opened.

[0003] In addition, during the use of a pre-filter, the filter elements and screens need to be cleaned regularly. This is generally achieved through a backwashing mechanism, and the residue is then discharged through the drain port. However, the backwashing filter screen of the backwashing mechanism itself also needs to be cleaned and drained regularly. Currently, there is a trend in the pre-filter field towards using disposable, integrated cartridge-type filter mechanisms, where maintenance is achieved through periodic cartridge replacement.

[0004] This invention aims to provide a valve head structure for a cartridge-type pre-filter with a more optimized structure, convenient disassembly and replacement, and easy cleaning. This invention also provides a pre-filter with this easily cleanable cartridge-type pre-filter valve head structure. Utility Model Content
