Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water heater technology, specifically to an anti-clogging water inlet filter device for water heaters. Background Technology

[0002] A water heater is a device that heats water using various energy sources to meet the hot water needs of homes, businesses, and other establishments. Since water heaters are directly connected to external water pipes during use, impurities in the water can easily adhere to the pipes and the inside of the water heater over a long period, causing scale buildup. Therefore, to reduce scale formation, a filter assembly is installed in the water inlet pipe of the water heater to effectively filter impurities. For example, patent document CN214990626U discloses a filter device for the inlet of a water heater. This filter device consists of an upper filter mechanism and a lower filter mechanism. This two-layer filter structure significantly improves the filtration effect. The upper filter mechanism has a baffle that divides the flow path of tap water in the filter channel in two. The filter blades at both ends of the baffle filter the tap water twice. Without changing the space size, this extends the filtration path of the tap water, increases the number of filtrations and the filtration area, resulting in better filtration of the tap water.

[0003] However, when the above-mentioned filtration device is in use, the filter cartridge is located inside the device and cannot be directly observed. This means that the replacement of the filter cartridge and filter leaf can only rely on the user's sense of touch, which cannot effectively guarantee the stable use of the filter cartridge and reduces the effectiveness of the filtration device.

An annular tube is fixed on the outer wall of the slider. Multiple flushing pipes are connected to the wall of the annular tube in an axially uniform distribution. The water spray pipe is connected to the annular tube.

[0010] Preferably, both ends of the slider are fixedly provided with corrugated sealing tubes, and both corrugated sealing tubes are sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating screw and fixedly connected to the two sealing heads.

[0011] Preferably, the inlet pipe has a casing connected to its wall, and a drive shaft is rotatably installed inside the casing.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] This utility model discloses an anti-clogging water inlet filter device for a water heater.

[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The present invention relates to an anti-clogging water inlet filter device for a water heater, comprising an inlet pipe 1 connected to the water heater, an outer pipe 2 connected to the inlet of the inlet pipe 1, a filter pipe 3 inside the outer pipe 2, end caps 4 threaded onto both ends of the outer wall of the filter pipe 3, the lower end of the end caps 4 being threaded into the outer pipe 2, two symmetrically arranged guide pipes 5 fixedly passing through the bottom of the filter pipe 3, the upper ends of the two guide pipes 5 being inserted into the filter pipe 3, the lower ends of the two guide pipes 5 being connected to an outlet pipe 6, sealing heads 7 threaded onto both ends of the inner wall of the filter pipe 3, and threads for mating connection being provided on both ends of the inner wall of the outer pipe 2, the inner wall of the end caps 4, and the outer wall of the sealing heads 7.

[0027] A backwashing mechanism for cleaning the filter tube 3 is provided between the two sealing heads 7. The backwashing mechanism includes a water pump 8, which is fixedly installed on the top of the lower sealing head 7 and connected to a water suction pipe 9 and a water spray pipe 10 at both ends. Both the water suction pipe 9 and the water spray pipe 10 are high-pressure hoses.

[0028] A reciprocating screw 11 is inserted between two sealing heads 7 and rotates together. Corrugated sealing tubes 15 are fixed at both ends of the slider 12. The two corrugated sealing tubes 15 are sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating screw 11 and fixedly connected to the two sealing heads 7. The slider 12 is sleeved on the rod wall of the reciprocating screw 11 through reciprocating balls. An annular tube 13 is fixed on the outer wall of the slider 12. Multiple flushing tubes 14 are connected to the tube wall of the annular tube 13 in an axially uniform distribution. The water spray pipe 10 is connected to the annular tube 13.

[0029] In order to reduce the need for external energy supply and ensure stable operation of the backwashing mechanism, such as Figure 1-2 and Figure 4 As shown, the wall of the water inlet pipe 1 is connected to a cover 16, and a drive shaft 17 is rotatably installed inside the cover 16. A drive impeller 18 is fixedly sleeved on the shaft wall of the drive shaft 17, and the blade end of the drive impeller 18 is located inside the water inlet pipe 1. Synchronous pulleys 19 are fixedly sleeved on both the shaft wall of the drive shaft 17 and the rod wall of the reciprocating screw 11. A synchronous belt 20 is provided between the two synchronous pulleys 19 for transmission.

[0030] Working principle: When water flows in from the inlet pipe 1, the water will enter the outer pipe 2 and flow into the filter pipe 3. At this time, impurities in the water are intercepted on the outer wall of the filter pipe 3. The filtered water flows through the inside of the filter pipe 3, through the guide pipe 5 and out of the outlet pipe 6, and enters the water heater.

[0031] When water flows through the inlet pipe 1, it impacts and drives the impeller 18 to rotate. The impeller 18 drives the synchronous wheel 19 to rotate through the transmission shaft 17. The synchronous belt 20 causes the reciprocating screw 11 to rotate. When the reciprocating screw 11 rotates, the slider 12 moves back and forth along the screw axis under the action of the reciprocating balls. The slider 12 drives the annular pipe 13 and the flushing pipe 14 to reciprocate within the filter pipe 3.

[0032] Simultaneously, water pump 8 draws water from filter tube 3 through suction pipe 9, delivers it to annular pipe 13 via spray pipe 10, and then sprays it out from flushing pipe 14 to backwash the outer wall of filter tube 3, removing attached impurities and preventing clogging. Corrugated sealing pipe 15 prevents water from entering reciprocating screw 11, ensuring normal operation of the device. Thus, during water heater operation, no additional energy is needed; the backwashing and cleaning of filter tube 3 can be achieved using the power of the water flow itself, improving filtration efficiency and the overall performance of the water heater.

[0033] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
