Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seawater desalination technology, specifically to a filter element device for a water maker. Background Technology

[0002] Because the natural supply of freshwater resources on Earth is quite limited, a situation that is extremely evident in many parts of the world, freshwater scarcity has gradually evolved into a major and urgent problem that needs to be solved. Against this backdrop, seawater desalination technology has emerged. This technology, which produces freshwater by desalinating seawater, has become an important way to alleviate freshwater shortages. Currently, common seawater desalination methods mainly include distillation, freezing, and reverse osmosis.

[0003] Seawater is an extremely complex system, especially in waters near land, which contain a vast amount of various substances. During the reverse osmosis desalination process, the large amount of colloids and suspended particles present can easily clog the pipes in the desalination equipment. Once this clogging occurs, it will directly cause fouling of the membrane elements.

[0004] Currently, the pretreatment method used in seawater desalination typically involves installing filters before the desalination equipment. However, this type of filter has certain drawbacks in actual filtration. When the filter filters seawater, various impurities accumulate on the filter element. Over time, if these impurities are not cleaned, the filter's filtration capacity will inevitably decrease. More problematic is that when the filter element needs replacement, the entire desalination equipment must be shut down. The equipment can only be restarted after the filter element is replaced, a process that often takes a considerable amount of time, affecting the overall desalination efficiency. Furthermore, the downtime can disrupt related production and supply chains. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a filter element device for a water maker to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a filter element device for a water maker, comprising a main body, an inlet installed on the main body, an inlet chamber installed on the right side of the inlet, a partition installed below the inlet chamber, a filter element installed below the partition, an outlet chamber provided on the outer side of the filter element, an outlet installed on the right side of the outlet chamber, a butterfly gate installed below the filter element, a sludge discharge chamber installed below the butterfly gate, and a sludge discharge port installed below the sludge discharge chamber.

[0007] Preferably, the filter element includes a connecting flange, a filter media clamp plate is installed below the connecting flange, a support ring is installed on the filter media clamp plate, a support rod is installed below the support ring, and an acoustic wave emitting device is installed at the lower end of the support rod.

[0008] Preferably, the butterfly gate is equipped with a pressure sensor and connected to a sound wave emitting device. When the pressure inside the filter element increases due to blockage, the sound wave emitting device will be activated through the sensing system, and the butterfly gate will automatically open to discharge sewage after a certain period of time.

[0009] Preferably, the filter element is provided with a filter media clamp and a support ring for reinforcement, and the filter media in the clamp is added in layers of higher thickness from the inside to the outside.

[0010] Preferably, the partition divides the interior of the main body into three areas: upper, middle, and lower, and each area is equipped with a separate water storage function, so that the filtration processes at different stages are separated and do not interfere with each other.

[0011] Preferably, the acoustic wave emitting device is fixed to the center of the filter element by a support rod. After receiving the signal from the butterfly gate, it will emit ultrasonic waves in all directions at an ultra-high frequency. The ultrasonic waves will vibrate the dirt on the filter media plate through the resonance effect in the water.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] The filter cartridge of this water maker features a robust structure with a support ring and rod mounted on the filter media clamp below the connecting flange. This design ensures high stability, and the support ring reinforces the filter media clamp. Furthermore, the filter media within the clamp is layered with progressively higher filtration levels from the inside out, achieving progressively finer filtration. In terms of filtration function, a partition divides the interior into three zones, each storing water independently. The separation of filtration stages prevents interference, improving filtration efficiency and quality. For cleaning and maintenance, a pressure sensor inside the butterfly gate activates a sonic transmitter. When the filter cartridge becomes clogged and the pressure rises, the sonic transmitter automatically activates, emitting high-frequency ultrasonic waves from its central location. The resonance of these waves in the water dislodges dirt from the filter media clamp. After a certain period, the butterfly gate automatically opens to drain the wastewater. This automated cleaning and drainage mechanism saves manpower, maintains the filter cartridge's performance, and extends its lifespan. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0018] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a filter element device for a water maker, including a main body 1, an inlet 2 installed on the main body 1, an inlet chamber 3 installed on the right side of the inlet 2, a partition 4 installed below the inlet chamber 3, a filter element 5 installed below the partition 4, an outlet chamber 8 provided on the outside of the filter element 5, an outlet 6 installed on the right side of the outlet chamber 8, a butterfly gate 7 installed below the filter element 5, a sewage discharge chamber 9 installed below the butterfly gate 7, and a sewage discharge port 10 installed below the sewage discharge chamber 9.

[0019] The filter element 5 includes a connecting flange 11, a filter media clamping plate 12 is installed below the connecting flange 11, a support ring 13 is installed on the filter media clamping plate 12, a support rod 14 is installed below the support ring 13, and a sound wave emitting device 15 is installed at the lower end of the support rod 14.

[0020] The filter element 5 is equipped with a filter media clamp 12 and a support ring 13 for reinforcement. The filter media in the clamp is added in layers of higher thickness from the inside to the outside.

[0021] In this embodiment, all components of the filter element are tightly connected, resulting in a very stable overall structure. The support ring reinforces the filter media clamps, ensuring the filter element remains stable during operation and thus promoting its long-term use. Furthermore, the filter media in the clamps is layered with progressively higher filtration levels from the inside out. This unique arrangement enables progressively finer filtration; as the filtration process progresses, the fineness of the filtration gradually increases, significantly improving the overall filtration efficiency.

[0022] The butterfly gate 7 is equipped with a pressure sensor and is connected to the sound wave emitting device 15. When the pressure inside the filter element 5 increases due to blockage, the sound wave emitting device 15 will be activated through the sensing system, and the butterfly gate 7 will be automatically opened to discharge sewage after a certain period of time.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the filter element becomes clogged due to the accumulation of impurities, causing the internal pressure to rise, this pressure sensing system can sensitively detect the pressure change and automatically activate the sound wave emitting device.

[0024] The partition 4 divides the interior of the main body 1 into three areas: upper, middle, and lower. Each area is equipped with a separate water storage function, which separates the filtration processes at different stages and prevents them from interfering with each other.

[0025] In this embodiment, the filtration states of each internal stage are completely separated, without interference between them. This non-interfering filtration state allows the filtration process in each area to be more focused and efficient, avoiding potential mutual influence between different filtration stages, thereby significantly improving the overall filtration efficiency and filtration quality.

[0026] The acoustic wave emitting device 15 is fixed to the center of the filter element 5 by the support rod 14. After receiving the signal from the butterfly gate 7, it will emit ultrasonic waves in all directions at an ultra-high frequency. The ultrasonic waves will vibrate the dirt on the filter media clamp 12 through the resonance effect of the water.

[0027] In this embodiment, dirt on the filter media clamps can be effectively shaken out. After the dirt removal operation is completed, the system will automatically open the butterfly gate to discharge the dirt after a certain period of time. This automated cleaning and drainage mechanism brings great convenience to users, eliminating the need for frequent manual intervention, saving labor costs, maintaining the filtration performance of the filter element in a timely manner, avoiding problems such as decreased filtration efficiency due to dirt accumulation, and effectively extending the service life of the filter element, thus reducing operating costs.

[0028] Working principle: In actual use, the first step is to inject water into the inlet chamber 3 through the inlet 2. The inlet chamber 3 serves as the initial water container in the entire device. Under the pressure inside, the water flows into the filter element 5 according to the set direction.

[0029] The filter cartridge 5 contains a filter media clamp 12, which contains filter media specifically designed for filtration. When water flows through the filter cartridge 5, it is effectively filtered by this filter media. After being meticulously filtered by the filter media, the water quality is significantly improved, and then it smoothly enters the outlet chamber 8. The outlet chamber 8 is a temporary storage space for the filtered water, and the water in this storage space flows out steadily through the outlet 6 for people to use.

[0030] However, during prolonged use, due to the inevitable presence of various impurities in the water source, the filtration system within filter element 5 will gradually become clogged due to the accumulation of filtered residues. Once clogged, the pressure inside filter element 5 will increase. At this point, the pressure detection system equipped inside the butterfly gate 7 begins to function. This pressure detection system can sensitively sense changes in pressure and will promptly send signals to the connected intelligent devices, activating the acoustic wave transmitter 15.

[0031] After receiving the activation signal, the acoustic wave emitting device 15 emits ultrasonic waves at an extremely high frequency. These ultrasonic waves produce unique physical effects as they propagate in the water. Specifically, the vibrations of the ultrasonic waves in the water generate numerous tiny bubbles, which resonate with the filter media clamp 12. This resonance effect is very powerful, effectively shaking off any residue adhering to the filter element 5.

[0032] After a period of time, the butterfly gate 7 will automatically open according to the preset program. At this time, since the residue that was previously blocked in the filter element 5 has been shaken off, it will flow out from the drain port 10 at the bottom under the propulsion of the water flow. This complete process effectively ensures that the filter element 5 always maintains a good cleanliness, thereby ensuring that the entire filtration system can operate continuously and stably, providing people with a continuous source of filtered water.
