Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom technology, and in particular to a water filter and drain that are easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, kitchen and bathroom drains such as sinks and washbasins are generally equipped with filters to trap debris and prevent pipe blockage. However, traditional drain filters often use a fixed, one-piece structure with a closed design, leaving internal corners prone to accumulating dirt and grime. Cleaning is particularly difficult after trapping tangled debris like hair and fibers, often requiring repeated scrubbing with tools. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a removable, movable filter structure with an openable base to solve the problem of inconvenient cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a water filter structure that is flexibly detachable and easy to clean.

[0004] Firstly, a water filter screen that is easy to clean is provided, comprising a filter screen body, a flap, and a switch assembly, wherein, The filter body is tubular, with an inlet at the top and an open opening at the bottom.

[0005] The flap is located at the bottom of the filter body and is hinged to the filter body at one end. The flap can block or open the opening of the filter body by swinging, and is used in water filtration and filter cleaning scenarios respectively.

[0006] The switch assembly is disposed between the filter body and the flap, and includes a movable part and an operating part. The movable part is movably installed inside the filter body and has a limiting part facing the flap. The limiting part locks the flap in the open state when the flap is blocked, thereby preventing the flap from separating from the open state of the filter body. The operating part is movably installed on the filter body. The operating part releases the flap by driving the limiting part of the movable part through an unlocking operation. Thus, when needed, the user can release the flap and open the open state through the switch assembly.

[0007] The water filter screen provided by this utility model has an openable and closable assembly structure for its flap, and is equipped with a switch component to restrict the opening and closing state of the flap. Thus, during cleaning, the bottom of the water filter screen can be opened, which on the one hand facilitates cleaning, and on the other hand, makes it less likely to have cleaning dead corners and dirt to accumulate, thereby improving the cleanliness of the cleaning.

[0008] Preferably, the movable component is slidably or rotatably installed inside the filter body, while the operating component is slidably or rotatably installed on the filter body, and is linked to the movable component by pressing or rotating.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting part is a limiting hook, and the flap has a limiting opening. In the locked state, the limiting hook passes through and hooks into the limiting opening, resulting in a simple structure and good limiting effect. The switch assembly also includes a return spring, which provides elastic force for the limiting hook to lock the limiting opening, preventing the limiting hook from automatically disengaging. When unlocking is required, the limiting hook is further inserted into the limiting opening through a movable part to release the limiting opening, or the limiting hook is released by swinging in the limiting opening, thereby allowing the flap to separate from the open opening of the filter body.

[0010] Preferably, to provide an installation position for the switch assembly, the filter body is provided with a mounting base, the movable part is movably installed in the mounting base, and the limiting part protrudes from the bottom of the mounting base.

The return spring is compressed and installed in the end mounting groove, providing elastic force for the button and the movable member to move to their extreme positions and form a locked state. The button, when pressed, causes the movable member and the limiting hook to move downward, releasing the limiting port and thus unlocking.

[0012] Preferably, the main body of the mounting base is columnar, with a receiving cavity at the bottom and a side mounting groove on the top side, the receiving cavity and the side mounting groove communicating with each other. The movable component is generally Z-shaped, with its middle part swinging within the receiving cavity via a horizontal pivot, its top being a pressing rod extending into the side mounting groove, and its bottom being a limiting rod protruding from the bottom opening of the receiving cavity. The limiting hook is located at the bottom end of the limiting rod. The operating component is a button, movably mounted in the side mounting groove and engaging with the end of the pressing rod. The return spring is compressed and mounted in the side mounting groove, providing elastic force for the button and movable component to move to their extreme positions and form a locked state. Pressing the button causes the movable component and the limiting hook to swing, releasing the limiting opening and thus unlocking the device.

[0013] Preferably, the movable part and the operating part are integrally formed. The filter body also includes a mounting bracket with a mounting port. The movable part is pre-swinged and mounted on the mounting port of the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is installed in the receiving cavity through an inverted structure.

The side wall of the side mounting groove is also provided with a disassembly hole aligned with the inverted structure. During disassembly, a rod-shaped tool can be inserted through the disassembly hole and pushed against the inverted structure to remove the mounting bracket from the mounting base.

[0014] Preferably, the flap is provided with a clearance opening, and the clearance opening is connected to the bottom opening of the receiving cavity when the flap is in the state of blocking the open opening, so that the top of the bouncing mechanism can be inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity, thereby realizing the assembly of the water filter and the bouncing mechanism.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom surface of the flap is provided with a protrusion, at least one of which allows the user to press the protrusion to push the flap closed.

[0016] Preferably, the filter body has peripheral water filtration holes on its periphery. The peripheral water filtration holes are strip-shaped and open on one side, communicating with the open opening. During washing, hair wrapped around the peripheral water filtration holes can be directly removed from top to bottom. And / or, the flap has bottom water filtration holes. The bottom water filtration holes are strip-shaped and open on one side, with the open end away from the hinged end of the flap.
