Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter technology, and in particular to a filter and a water purification device. Background Technology

[0002] The related technology discloses a filter element structure with a planar filter screen at the water outlet. The following problems exist: (1) Due to the limitation of the planar shape, the effective filtration area of ​​the filter screen is small, the filtration efficiency is low, and the impurity pressure per unit area is large, which makes it easy to get clogged quickly; (2) Water flow can easily pass through the local area of ​​the planar filter screen quickly (such as the area near the center of the water outlet), resulting in excessive filtration load in that area, while other areas are not fully utilized, affecting the overall filtration effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-5 A filter element, comprising:

[0030] The filter housing frame 100 is cylindrical and contains filter media. The cylindrical wall of the filter housing frame 100 is provided with several water inlet holes 110. One end of the filter housing frame 100 has an opening 120. The cylindrical wall of the filter housing frame 100 refers to the annular side wall of the filter housing frame 100.

[0031] The end cap 200 has an outlet 210. The end cap 200 covers the opening 120. The end cap 200 is detachably connected to the filter shell frame 100. The outlet 210 communicates with the interior of the filter shell frame 100 through the opening 120. A first filter screen 220 is fixedly installed on the end face of the end cap 200 facing the filter shell frame 100. The first filter screen 220 is integrally formed with the main body of the end cap 200. The first filter screen 220 is a mesh cover structure and covers the outlet 210.

[0032] In use, water flows into the filter housing frame 100 through the inlet hole 110, making full contact with the filter media, and then flows out through the outlet 210. The outlet 210 is equipped with a first filter screen 220 with a mesh cover structure to block the filter media. The mesh cover structure is three-dimensional, forming a larger effective filtration area, allowing more liquid to pass through in the same space, reducing clogging and improving filtration efficiency. Furthermore, the three-dimensional mesh cover structure itself has a certain degree of support, making it less prone to deformation and damage under external forces such as water flow impact, and more durable than a flat filter screen.

[0033] In some embodiments of this invention, the first filter screen 220 is frustum-shaped, with mesh holes 221 on both its top and side surfaces. The conical structure of the frustum allows water to enter from the top surface and pass through the inclined side surfaces, avoiding excessive concentration of water flow in certain areas and reducing local wear or blockage caused by water flow impact. The frustum shape itself has good mechanical stability and can withstand the continuous impact and pressure of water flow.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, the end cap 200 has a plurality of snap fasteners 230 on its end face facing the filter housing frame 100, and the snap fasteners 230 are spaced apart along the edge of the end cap 200. The cylindrical wall of the filter housing frame 100 has a plurality of fastening positions 130, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the filter housing frame 100. The snap fasteners 230 are engaged with the fastening positions 130. The mating structure of the snap fasteners 230 and the fastening positions 130 allows the connection between the end cap 200 and the filter housing frame 100 to be completed without additional tools, making the operation convenient.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the other end of the filter housing frame 100 is provided with a threaded post 140. A threaded hole that mates with the threaded post 140 is provided inside the housing 500 of the water purification device, which facilitates the installation and removal of the filter element inside the housing 500.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, a second filter screen 300 is also included. The second filter screen 300 covers the outer periphery of the cylindrical wall of the filter shell frame 100. Sealing rings 400 are respectively fitted at both ends of the filter shell frame 100, and the sealing rings 400 abut against the space between the filter shell frame 100 and the second filter screen 300. In use, water undergoes primary filtration through the second filter screen 300 and then enters the interior of the filter shell frame 100 through the water inlet 110, where it undergoes secondary filtration through the filter media. In addition to its primary filtration function, the second filter screen 300 also prevents the filter media from flowing out. The sealing rings 400 between the second filter screen 300 and the filter shell frame 100 prevent the filter media from flowing out through the gap between them.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pore size of the second filter 300 is 40 mesh to 120 mesh.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the diameter of the filter housing frame 100 is D1, and the diameter of the outlet 210 is D2, such that D2 / D1 ≥ 1 / 3. The diameter D1 of the filter housing frame 100 determines the internal filter media holding space and the size of the inlet area, while the diameter D2 of the outlet 210 directly affects the water output capacity. The ratio of D2 / D1 ≥ 1 / 3 ensures that the water output capacity matches the filtration capacity of the filter housing frame 100, and that the outlet 210 has sufficient flow area to avoid excessive water flow resistance due to an excessively small outlet 210, thus ensuring the coordinated operation of the entire filtration system.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the ratio of the total inlet area S1 of the inlet hole 110 to the cylindrical wall area S2 of the filter shell frame 100, S1 / S2, is ≥10%. The cylindrical wall area S2 = π*D1*L (where L is the length of the filter shell frame 100). The cylindrical wall area S2 indirectly reflects the internal filter media's capacity and filtration efficiency, while the total inlet area S1 determines the inlet water capacity. A ratio of S1 / S2 ≥ 10% ensures that the inlet water rate matches the filtration speed of the filter media, guaranteeing the continuous function of the filter media and avoiding low filter media utilization due to insufficient inlet water.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water inlet hole 110 is circular, elliptical, or square. The filter media can be regular spherical or irregular in shape. The water inlet hole 110 corresponding to the regular spherical filter media is square or rectangular, and the water inlet hole 110 corresponding to the irregularly shaped filter media is circular or elliptical.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 A water purification device includes the above-mentioned filter element and housing 500. The housing 500 has an inlet chamber 510 and an outlet chamber 520. The filter housing frame 100 is installed in the inlet chamber 510. The inlet hole 110 is connected to the inlet chamber 510, and the outlet 210 is connected to the outlet chamber 520.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
