Description

Filter head and filter assembly including the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a filter head and a filter assembly including the same.

[0002] Recently, as environmental pollution, especially water pollution, has become a social problem, the use of water purification devices that physically or chemically filter water to remove impurities is increasing.

[0003] These water purifiers filter out various harmful substances contained in raw water, such as tap water or groundwater, converting it into safe and sanitary drinking water. Conventional water purifiers typically feature multiple filters to remove harmful substances and filter out suspended solids from raw water.

[0004] These water purifiers may be equipped with various filters to filter the raw water. Since these filters physically filter out harmful substances or foreign substances, they require periodic replacement. These filters are mounted on a filter head to communicate with the water purifier. When a filter reaches the end of its lifespan or a certain replacement cycle is reached, it is removed from the filter head for replacement and a new filter is installed. The filter head is equipped with a bypass function so that when the filter is removed for replacement, the raw water is discharged without passing through the filter.

[0005] Additionally, since a bypass euro is included in the filter head, users who do not wish to use a filter can use the water supply system of the water purifier by discharging raw water without installing a filter.

[0006] However, there is a problem that the O-ring included in the filter head becomes stuck over time, preventing the euro switch from working properly.

[0081]

[0082] The filter head (10) according to FIG. 1 to FIG. 11 includes a filter head housing (100) having an inlet (101) and an outlet (102) and a fastening portion (104) fastened to the filter (20), and a flow path switching portion included inside the filter head housing (100) so that the flow path can be switched depending on whether the filter (20) is mounted.

[0083] The filter head housing (100) may have an inlet (101) formed on one side into which a fluid such as raw water can be introduced, and an outlet (102) formed on the other side into which purified water filtered by a filter (20) coupled to the filter head (10) or raw water converted by a flow path conversion unit, i.e., raw water passing through a bypass flow path, is discharged.

[0084] In addition, the filter head housing (100) may include a fastening portion (104) so ​​as to be coupled with the filter (20). The filter (20) may include an insertion portion that is inserted into the fastening portion (104), and a coupling rib (21) may be formed in the insertion portion. The inner surface of the filter head housing (100) may include a coupling guide (105) formed with a predetermined incline, so that the insertion portion of the filter (20) may be inserted into the fastening portion (104) and the coupling rib (21) may rotate along the coupling guide (105) to be coupled, but the coupling method is not limited thereto. The insertion portion of the filter (20) is inserted into the fastening portion (104) of the filter head (10), and the filter (20) and the filter head (20) can be connected by rotation of the filter (20), and as the filter (20) and the filter head (10) are connected, the raw water or fluid flowing in from the inlet portion (101) of the filter head (10) flows into the filter (20), and purified water filtered through the filter (20) can be discharged through the discharge portion (102) of the filter head (10).

[0085] The outer surface of the insertion portion of the filter (20) may include at least one O-ring. The O-ring may be included in the outer surface of the insertion portion of the filter (20) to come into contact with the inner surface of the filter head (10), and may be sealed by the O-ring to prevent water leakage.

[0086] In addition, the inlet (101) and outlet (102) of the filter head (10) each include at least one O-ring to prevent leakage that may occur in connection with the flow pipe inserted into and connected to the filter head (10).

[0087]

[0088] The filter head (10) includes a flow path switching unit so that the flow path can be switched depending on whether the filter (20) is mounted. More specifically, the flow path switching unit forms a first flow path (106) so that raw water introduced into the inlet (101) can be introduced into the filter (20) by mounting the filter (20), and includes a first switching unit (110) that closes the first flow path (106) by detaching the filter (20), and a second switching unit (120) that descends when the filter (20) is detached to form a second flow path (107) and rises by mounting the filter (20) to close the second flow path (107), so that raw water or purified water can be discharged by switching the flow path depending on whether the filter (20) is mounted on the filter head (10).

[0089]

[0090] More specifically, the first switching unit (110) may include a first shaft (111) that is included inside the second switching unit (120) and opens or closes the first flow path (106) by descending or ascending by the detachment or attachment of the filter (20), a first elastic member (113) that is included inside the second switching unit (120) and assists the descending of the first shaft (111), and an inner shaft (112) into which one side of the first shaft (111) is inserted and into which the first flow path (106) is formed by the elevation of the first shaft (111). Here, the first elastic member (103) may be included as, for example, a spring having elastic restoring force, but is not limited thereto.

[0091] More specifically, the inner shaft (112) may be included on one side of the second switching unit (120). The inner shaft (112) may have a hollow hole (116) formed therein, and one side of the first shaft (111) may be inserted into the hollow hole (116), so that the first flow path (106) may be opened or closed according to the elevation or lowering of the first shaft (111). The hollow hole (116) may be formed to correspond to the shape of the contact surface of the first shaft (111) that is inserted into and makes contact with the hollow hole (116), and may be inserted so as to be in close contact with the hollow hole (116) formed to correspond to the contact surface of the first shaft (111) by the lowering of the first shaft (111), so that the first flow path (106) may be easily closed.

[0092] In addition, the first shaft (111) may include a first O-ring (115) that comes into contact with the inner shaft (112) by lowering the first shaft (111) to seal the first flow path (106). When the filter (20) is removed, the first shaft (111) is lowered to close the first flow path (106), thereby preventing leakage of raw water to the outside through the filter fastening portion (104). More specifically, the first shaft (111) may include a first O-ring groove (115a) into which the first O-ring (115) is inserted, and the first O-ring (115) is inserted into the first O-ring groove (115a) to be positioned so as to be in close contact with the inner shaft (112) by lowering the first shaft (111), thereby closing and sealing the first flow path (106).

[0093]

[0094] The filter head (10) may include a second switching unit (120). The second switching unit (120) may include a second shaft (121) that is included inside the filter head housing (100) and lowers or rises by the detachment of the filter (20) to open and close the second flow path (107), and a second elastic unit (122) that is included on one side of the inside of the filter head housing (100) and applies elastic force to lower the second shaft (121). In addition, the second shaft (121) may include a first switching unit (110) so that one side of the first elastic unit (112) is mounted on the second shaft (121).

[0095] In addition, the second shaft (121) includes a shaft inlet passage (126) to allow the raw water to flow into the first passage (106), so that the raw water flowing in through the inlet (101) can flow into the first passage (106).

[0096]

[0097] When the filter (20) is mounted on the filter head (10), one side of the first switching unit (110) and one side of the second switching unit (120) may be included to be in contact with one side of the insertion unit (104) of the filter (20). As the filter head (10) and the filter (20) are fastened, one side of the first switching unit (110) and one side of the second switching unit (120) are pushed and raised by the filter (20), so that the first flow path (106) can be opened and the second flow path (107) can be closed. As the first flow path (106) is opened and the second flow path (107) is closed, the raw water that has entered the filter head (10) through the inlet (101) can enter the filter (20) through the first flow path (106) and be filtered by the filter (20), and the filtered purified water can be discharged through the discharge unit (102).

[0098] When the filter (20) is detached from the filter head (10), the pressure applied by the filter (20) is relieved, so that the first shaft (111) can be lowered by the first elastic member (113) to close the first flow path (106). As the first flow path (106) is closed, the second shaft (121) can be lowered by the elastic force of the second elastic member (122). As the second shaft (121) is lowered, the second flow path (107) can be opened, and the raw water that has entered the filter head by the opening of the second flow path (107) can be discharged through the discharge member (102). Here, the second elastic member (122) may be included as, for example, a spring having elastic restoring force, but is not limited thereto.

[0099]

[0100] The filter head housing (100) may include a separation portion (103) between the third flow path (108) and the second shaft (121) so that the second flow path (107) is formed according to the elevation or lowering of the second shaft (121). The separation portion (103) may be formed on one side of the receiving space of the filter head housing (100) that accommodates the second shaft (121) and may be formed as a wall close to the discharge portion (102) so that the raw water introduced through the inlet portion (101) is not directly discharged to the discharge portion (102) without going through the first flow path (106) or the second flow path (107), and the second flow path (107) may be opened or closed as the second shaft (121) comes into contact with or is separated from the separation portion (103) according to the elevation or lowering of the second shaft (121). The second flow path (107) is opened or closed by contact or separation of the separation unit (107), so that the raw water flowing into the filter head (10) or the purified water filtered and discharged from the filter (20) can pass through the third flow path (108) included in the filter housing head (100) and be discharged to the discharge unit (102).

[0101] The filter head housing (100) may include a shaft cover (130) that prevents the second shaft (121) from being detached and opens and closes the water passage (108) by the elevation or lowering of the second shaft (121). The shaft cover (130) may be inserted and coupled to the fastening portion (104) of the filter head housing (100), and by including the shaft cover (130), the separation of the second shaft (121) may be prevented. In addition, the shaft cover (130) may include a water passage (108) that opens and closes by the elevation or lowering of the second shaft (121). More specifically, the purification flow path (108) can be opened by the elevation of the second shaft (121) and closed by the elevation, and purified water filtered by the filter (20) through the purification flow path (108) can flow into the third flow path (109) and be discharged through the discharge portion (102).

[0102]

[0103] In addition, the second switching unit (120) may include at least one O-ring. More specifically, the second switching unit (120) may include a second O-ring (124) and a third O-ring (125). A second O-ring groove (124a) into which a second O-ring (124) is inserted may be included on an outer surface that closes the second flow path (107) by contact with one side of the head housing (100) and the separation unit (103) as the second shaft rises, and the second O-ring (124) may be inserted, and a third O-ring groove (125a) into which a third O-ring (125) is inserted may be included on an outer surface that closes the water passage (108) by contact with one side of the shaft cover (130) as the second shaft (121) descends, and the third O-ring (125) may be inserted. The second O-ring (124) can seal the second passage (107) closed by coming into close contact with one side of the filter head housing (100) and the separation part (103) by lowering the second shaft (121) so that raw water does not flow in, and when the second shaft (121) is lowered and the second passage (107) is opened, the third O-ring (125) can seal the purified water passage (108) by coming into contact with one side of the shaft cover (130). The second O-ring (124) and the third O-ring (125) can seal the second passage (107) and the purified water passage (108) respectively by rising or falling of the second shaft (121).

[0104]

[0105] In addition, the second switching unit (120) may include a rotation guide unit (127) formed with a predetermined incline, and the filter (20) may include a protrusion (22) formed to protrude. The filter (20) can be separated from the filter head (10) by rotation, and the protrusion (22) is moved along the rotation guide unit (127) by rotation of the filter (20), so that the second switching unit (120) can be vertically moved by the protrusion (20) formed to protrude to a predetermined height. The second switching unit (120) can be vertically moved by the protrusion (22) of the filter (20) to release the fixation of the O-ring, thereby improving the reliability of the switching of the bypass flow path.

[0106] In addition, the second switching unit (120) may include a rotation prevention unit (128). The rotation prevention unit (128) may be formed on the outer surface of the second switching unit (120), and a slide groove may be formed on the outer surface of the second switching unit (120) so as to protrude to one side and slide vertically, so that one side of the filter head housing (100) or the shaft cover (130) is inserted into the slide groove of the rotation prevention unit (128) to enable vertical movement but prevent rotational movement, thereby preventing the second switching unit (120) from rotating according to the rotation of the filter (20). As the rotation prevention unit (128) is formed, the second switching unit (120) may be prevented from rotating according to the rotational movement of the protrusion (22) included in the filter (20).

[0107]

[0108] The first shaft (121) may have a fixing groove (114) formed so that one side of the second shaft (121) can be inserted, and the second shaft (121) may include a fixing portion (123) that is formed to protrude so as to be inserted into the fixing groove (114). The fixing portion (123) is included so as to be insertable into the fixing groove (114), thereby preventing the first shaft (111) from being dislodged and aligning it. The fixing portion (123) is inserted into the fixing groove (114), thereby preventing the first shaft (111) from being dislodged when the first shaft (111) is raised or lowered.

[0109]

[0110] The second switching unit (120) may be formed with a step portion (127a). More specifically, a step portion (127a) formed stepwise on one side of the rotation guide (127) may be included. The second switching unit (120) may rotate when the protrusion (22) formed in the insertion portion of the filter (20) is caught by the step of the step portion (127a), and the second switching unit (120) may rotate by the rotation of the filter (20) due to the step portion (127a), thereby releasing the fixation of the O-rings (124, 125) included in the second switching unit (120). A step portion (127a) is included on one side of the rotation guide (127), so that rotation of the filter (20) in one direction can cause vertical movement of the second switching portion (120) along the rotation guide (127) according to the rotational direction of the filter (20), and rotation of the filter (20) in the other direction can cause horizontal rotation of the second switching portion (120) by the step portion (127a).

[0111]

[0112] A filter head (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided with a bypass flow path so that the flow path can be switched depending on whether a filter (20) is mounted to allow raw water to be introduced and discharged, and a structure for vertically moving a second switching unit is added to the rotating separation structure of the filter so that the fixation of the O-ring can be easily released, thereby improving the reliability of the switching structure of the bypass flow path, and the reliability of the filter head (10) can also be improved.
