[0045] Optionally, in some embodiments, the blocking part 301 is a plate-shaped structure, and the area of ​​the blocking part 301 is larger than the area of ​​the observation window 2, that is, the blocking part 301 completely blocks the observation window 2.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, in order to further improve the integrity of the shading of the observation window 2, the shading part 301 can be set close to the filter 1 to increase the shading effect of the observation window 2 and completely prevent sunlight from entering the filter 1.

[0047] Optionally, in some embodiments, a shielding strip is provided at the edge of the shielding part 301 and is perpendicular to the shielding part 301. The shielding strip is made of rubber, so the gap between the shielding part 301 and the filter 1 can be completely closed under the action of the shielding strip, so as to completely block the observation window 2.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the mounting part 302 is rotatably mounted on the filter 1, and the shielding member 3 moves relative to the observation window 2 by rotating the mounting part 302. That is, the mounting part 302 is rotatably mounted on the filter 1, and the position of the shielding member 3 is adjusted by rotating the mounting part 302, thereby adjusting the position of the shielding member 3 relative to the observation window 2.

[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments, the bottom of the filter 1 is provided with a drain pipe 4, and the mounting part 302 is an annular structure sleeved on the drain pipe 4. The mounting part 302 is rotatably mounted on the drain pipe 4. That is, the position of the shielding part 301 can be adjusted by rotating the annular mounting part 302.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the drain pipe 4 is provided with a fixing member, which is used to fix the mounting part 302 on the drain pipe 4 to prevent it from falling off, thus ensuring that the mounting part 302 can rotate freely on the drain pipe 4.

[0051] Optionally, in some embodiments, there are several blocking parts 301, which are arranged in a circumferential array along the axis of the mounting part 302. By providing several blocking parts 301, the user can easily rotate the mounting part 302 as needed, and each of the multiple blocking parts 301 can individually block the observation window 2.

[0052] In the above embodiment, at least two observation windows 2 are provided, and are respectively located on two opposite sides of the side wall of the filter 1, which is conducive to the user fully observing the entire position of the filter element to fully understand the usage status of the filter element. At the same time, two shielding parts 301 are provided and are distributed in a circumferential array along the axis of the mounting part 302, so as to simultaneously close multiple observation windows 2.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments, the shielding part 301 is an arc-shaped structure with an opening facing the filter 1. The arc-shaped shielding part 301 can increase the shielding effect on the observation window 2 and can adapt to the shape of the filter 1.

[0054] Optionally, in some embodiments, the filter 1 is provided with a limiting member, which is used to restrict the position of the blocking member 3 to prevent it from turning accidentally during use, thereby further improving its performance.

[0055] Optionally, in some embodiments, the limiting member adopts a rod-shaped structure and is slidably installed on the filter 1 along the axis of the mounting part 302. The mounting part 302 is provided with a limiting hole that cooperates with the limiting member. When the limiting member is inserted into the limiting hole, the position of the mounting part 302 can be fixed, thereby fixing the position of the shielding member 3 and preventing it from turning accidentally during use.

[0056] Optionally, in some embodiments, the shielding part 301 is provided with a cleaning component that contacts the observation window 2. By providing the cleaning component, when the shielding part 3 rotates, the cleaning component directly contacts the observation window 2, thereby scraping the observation window 2 and improving the user's observation effect.

[0057] In the above embodiments, the cleaning component can be a brush or cotton cloth that comes into contact with and scrapes the surface.

[0058] Optionally, in some embodiments, for timely scraping and cleaning of the inside of the observation window 2, a scraping element that contacts the observation window 2 can be provided inside the filter 1. The scraping element can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone. At the same time, an L-shaped support rod is provided inside the filter 1 to fix the scraping element to the support rod. The bottom of the filter 1 is rotatably mounted on the end cover, and the end cover is rotatably sealed to the filter 1. The support rod is fixed to the end cover, and the mounting part 302 is fixedly connected to the end cover. Therefore, by rotating the mounting part 302, the user can rotate the end cover, thereby making the scraping element inside the filter 1 contact the inside of the observation window 2 to clean the observation window 2, so that the user can clearly see the filter element through the observation window 2.

[0059] Optionally, in some embodiments, the observation window 2 can be located at any position on the side wall of the filter 1, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the middle, the observation window 2 can be set on the upper or lower part of the side wall of the filter 1, or in the middle position. The setting position of the observation window 2 can be determined according to the installation height of the filter 1 in actual use.

[0060] In other embodiments, in order to clean the inside of the observation window 2, a scraping component that contacts the observation window 2 can be provided inside the filter 1. The scraping component includes a plate-shaped scraping plate. The side of the scraping plate near the inner wall of the filter 1 has a groove, and scraping cotton is installed inside the groove. At the same time, several strong magnets are provided at the edge of the scraping plate. By installing corresponding strong magnets on the blocking part 301, when the blocking part 301 rotates, it will drive the scraping component to move inside the filter 1, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the observation window 2. This avoids the need to add sealing components and reduces the production cost of the device.

[0061] In the above embodiments, to further facilitate the replacement of the scraping cotton, the scraping cotton can be detachably and washably installed in the groove of the scraping plate using Velcro.

[0062] In other embodiments, to improve the fixing effect of the scraping cotton, a ring-shaped zipper is installed on the scraping plate, and a corresponding zipper is set on the scraping cotton. Therefore, the scraping cotton can be stably installed on the scraping plate by means of the zipper, preventing it from curling up or falling off during use. The zipper can also be more easily disassembled for easy cleaning and replacement.

[0063] Optionally, in some embodiments, the scraper is an arc-shaped opening facing away from the shielding part, and its arc surface is in contact with the inner wall of the filter 1.

[0064] Optionally, in some embodiments, in order to improve the stability of the scraper when moving, at least two slide rails are provided on the inner wall of the filter 1, and the two slide rails are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the observation window. Slider blocks are slidably installed on the slide rails, and the upper and lower sides of the scraper are fixedly connected to the corresponding sliders. Therefore, when the scraper is moved by the shielding part, it has better stability and improves the cleaning effect on the observation window.

[0065] In the above embodiment, in order to further increase the contact pressure between the cleaning cotton and the observation window and improve the cleaning effect, a spring can be installed in the groove of the scraping plate. After the scraping cotton is installed on the scraping plate through the zipper, the spring will lift the scraping cotton to increase the contact pressure with the observation window and improve the cleaning effect. Moreover, the elasticity of the spring is much less than the attraction of the magnet.

[0066] In other words, the key point of this utility model is that users can observe the filter element inside the filter 1 through the observation window 2, so as to facilitate users to grasp the usage status of the filter element. By setting a shielding part 3 to shield the observation window 2, the shielding part 3 is made of opaque material, which can ensure the shielding effect of the observation window 2, so as to prevent the growth of algae inside the filter 1. Under the action of the shielding part 3, not only can users easily check the usage status of the filter element inside the filter 1 in a timely manner, but also avoid the problems caused by direct sunlight shining on the filter 1 through the observation window 2, effectively improving the user experience.
