Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

The structure of a composite filter element assembly 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1-16.

A composite filter element assembly 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, comprises: housing 300, first filter bank 1001, second filter bank 2001.

As shown in fig. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the housing 300 includes a bottle body 3002, two bottle caps 3001, and a transition plate 3003, two ends of the bottle body 3002 are open, the transition plate 3003 is disposed in the bottle body 3002, and the two bottle caps 3001 are respectively connected to two ends of the housing 300 in a sealing manner. The cap 3001 seals the housing 300 to protect the internal filter stack structures from the external environment.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, a first accommodating chamber 100 is defined between the bottle body 3002 and the transition plate 3003 and one of the bottle caps 3001, a second accommodating chamber 200 is defined between the bottle body 3002 and the transition plate 3003 and the other bottle cap 3001, and a transition port 3004 is formed on the transition plate 3003. Here, the transition plate 3003 allows the first receiving chamber 100 and the second receiving chamber 200 to form two generally spaced chambers within the housing 300, which communicate with each other only through the transition port 3004.

For convenience of description, one of the caps 3001 will be referred to as a first cap 310, and the other cap 3001 will be referred to as a second cap 320. When the bottle body 3002 defines the first receiving chamber 100 with the transition plate 3003 and the first cap 310, the bottle body 3002 defines the second receiving chamber 200 with the transition plate 3003 and the second cap 320.

As shown in fig. 1, the two filter sets are a first filter set 1001 and a second filter set 2001, respectively, the first filter set 1001 is disposed in the first accommodating chamber 100, the second filter set 2001 is disposed in the second accommodating chamber 200, and water in the second accommodating chamber 200 is filtered by the second filter set 2001 and then flows to the first accommodating chamber 100 through the transition opening 3004. By providing two filter groups in the housing 300, the composite filter element assembly 1000 has more filter functions, the integration level is increased, and an external pipeline through which water filtered by the second filter group 2001 flows to the first accommodating cavity 100 does not need to be arranged, thereby simplifying the pipeline arrangement form.

As shown in fig. 4, at least one cap 3001 of the two caps 3001 is connected to the bottle body 3002 by a spin welding structure 400. Here, at least one cap 3001 indicates that either the first cap 310 is attached to the bottle body 3002 by the spin weld structure 400, the second cap 320 is attached to the bottle body 3002 by the spin weld structure 400, or both the first cap 310 and the second cap 320 are attached to the bottle body 3002 by the spin weld structure 400.

The spin-welded structure 400 is a connection structure in which contact surfaces of the cap 3001 and the body 3002 are connected after spin-welding. Specifically, the bottle cap 3001 and the bottle body 3002 are rotated relative to each other, and the contact surfaces thereof generate heat due to friction, and the contact surface material is melted by heat and bonded to each other.

It can be appreciated that when the cap 3001 is connected to the bottle body 3002 by the spin-welded structure 400, the connection strength between the end cap 3001 and the bottle body 3002 can be enhanced, so that the end bottle body 3002 connected by the spin-welded structure 400 can bear higher water pressure and maintain good sealing effect. Some spot welding or other welding methods need to embed solder in advance, some require to be heated by a welding gun along the circumference of the bottle cap 3001, and water is easy to leak when one part is not welded. And adopt and weld soon, contact surface a week can both evenly heat, and contact surface a week can both be heated and melt and glue the connection, guarantees that contact surface a week forms complete sealing ring promptly. This prevents water leakage from occurring in the case 300 when the internal filter assembly is operated.

Adopt bottle 3002 and bottle lid 3001 that spin-welding structure 400 connects, form stable relation of connection, end cover 3001 is difficult for the dislocation, provides stable support and limiting displacement for the good filtration group of internally mounted, provides stable access mouth or connects the export for the connection of outside pipe-line system for composite filter element group 1000 overall structure is stable, and intensity is high, the good reliability.

When the bottle lid 3001 of one end adopts to weld structure 400 soon and links to each other with bottle 3002, the bottle lid 3001 of the other end can be connected on bottle 3002 with opening and shutting, the one end stable in structure who connects through welding structure 400 soon, when the assembly, can be earlier in this end filter the group goes into corresponding holding the chamber, form stable structure with bottle 3002 welded bottle lid 3001 and the filter group of crossing installation between cab apron 3003, difficult emergence is become flexible and the collision between corresponding filter group and the bottle lid 3001, filter group has been reduced and has been rocked and impaired risk, the probability of bottle lid 3002 fracture has also been reduced. The bottle cap 3001, which is connected with the bottle body 3002 in an openable and closable manner at the other side, facilitates replacement of the filter group in the accommodating cavity corresponding to the side. The design form can meet the requirement of replacing local filter materials and save the replacement cost of the filter materials.

After the bottle caps 3001 at two ends are connected with the bottle body 3002 by the spin welding structure 400, the whole composite filter element assembly 1000 is made into a whole disposable filter element assembly, so that the whole disposable filter element assembly of the filter material is realized.

In addition, compared with the existing filter element assembly in which only one filter group is arranged in each shell and the filter groups are communicated through external pipelines, the external pipelines required by the connection between the filter groups are greatly simplified, so that the composite filter element assembly 1000 has the advantages of small occupied space, compact overall layout and capability of saving the internal volume of a cabinet of a user; meanwhile, the integral aesthetic property is enhanced. All filter groups are arranged in the shell 300, and only one set of positioning and mounting structure is needed when the composite filter element assembly 1000 is integrally mounted, so that the assembly is simple and time-saving.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, 5, 6, and 7, a portion of the end surface of the bottle body 3002 contacting the end surface of the bottle cap 3001 includes a bevel welding area 410, the bevel welding area 410 is a circular ring shape disposed around the central axis of the bottle body 3002, and the bevel welding area 410 is a circular truncated cone circumferential surface, that is, the bevel welding area 410 has a certain inclination in a radial direction, or the bevel welding area 410 is a conical surface with a tapered tip removed.

The inclined plane welding area 410 is arranged, so that the peripheral surface of the circular truncated cone has the function of centering, the bottle cap 3001 and the bottle body 3002 can keep coaxial when being rotationally welded, the contact area of the peripheral surface of the circular truncated cone is increased, the radial width of a glued connecting surface formed by rotational welding is increased, and the torsion resistance and the bending resistance of the connecting part are enhanced. It is also important that the molten material has a certain fluidity after the contact surface is melted by heat, and the inclined surface welding area 410 is configured to direct the molten material in a favorable direction, preferably to direct the molten material toward the outside of the housing 300, so as to prevent the formation of slag and burrs formed on the inside of the housing 300. And after the diversion, the melting material can be more uniform, and the glued connecting surface formed by spin welding connection is wider.

Optionally, parallel beveled weld zones 410 are formed between the bottle body 3002 and the bottle cap 3001. That is, when the bottle body 3002 is formed with the bevel land 410 inclined from top to bottom, the corresponding bottle cap 3001 is also formed with the bevel land 410 inclined from top to bottom. Conversely, the same may be true. The bottle body 3002 and the bottle cap 3001 can be welded to form a seamless joint, and the local welding strength can be improved.

Advantageously, the bottle body 3002 is vertically welded, and when a certain cap 3001 is welded, the inclined surface welding area 410 of the cap is maintained in a state of small upper diameter and large lower diameter, so that the melt can be guided toward the outside of the housing 300.

In some embodiments of the present invention, a spin-welding flash 420 is provided on at least one of the end surface of the bottle body 3002 and the end surface of the bottle cap 3001, and the spin-welding flash 420 is located radially outward of the bevel welding zone 410.

Here, if the upper end of the bevel welding area 410 between the cap 3001 and the bottle body 3002 has a small diameter and the lower end has a large diameter when the cap is positioned above the bottle body 3002, it is preferable that the spin welding burr 420 is formed on the bottle body 3002. If the bottle body 3002 is positioned above the cap 3001 and the upper end of the inclined welding area 410 therebetween has a small diameter and the lower end has a large diameter, it is preferable that the spin-welding burr 420 is formed on the cap 3001.

The rotary welding flash tank 420 can collect welding slag in the rotary welding process, and the welding slag collected in the rotary welding flash tank 420 can increase local strength after solidification; the spin welding flash 420 also prevents welding slag from overflowing to the outer surface of the housing 300, preventing flash from forming.

Optionally, the inner edge of spin weld flash 420 joins the largest diameter edge of bevel land area 410. The guide work of cooperation welding slag is favorable to collecting all welding slag when spin welding.

In some embodiments of the present invention, one of the bottle body 3002 and the bottle cap 3001 is provided with a spin-welded flash tank 420 and an inside flange 430, and the inside flange 430 is fitted on an inner circumferential surface of the other of the bottle body 3002 and the bottle cap 3001. Here, when the bottle body 3002 is provided with the spin-welded flash tank 420 and the inside flange 430, the inside flange 430 is fitted on the inner circumferential surface of the bottle cap 3001. When the cap 3001 is provided with the spin-welding flash tank 420 and the inner flange 430, the inner flange 430 is fitted to the inner circumferential surface of the bottle body 3002. The arrangement of the inner flange 430 enhances the local strength of welding between the bottle body 3002 and the bottle cap 3001, and provides a limit relationship of the inner peripheral surface for the two. In addition, the inner flange 430 can also block the flow of melt into the body 3002 during spin welding.

Alternatively, when the axis of the bevel weld area 410 is vertically disposed, and the upper end diameter is small and the lower end diameter is large, the end surface of the inside flange 430 is higher than the minimum diameter edge of the bevel weld area 410. Further optionally, an inner flash is provided on the bottle body 3002 or the bottle cap 3001 with the inner flange 430 between the inner flange 430 and the smallest diameter edge of the bevel weld 410 to further prevent welding spatter from flowing into the interior receiving cavity of the bottle body 3002.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, 3, and 4, two caps 3001 are spin welded to the bottle body 3002 to form an integral disposable composite filter assembly 1000.

Moreover, a first end structure 401 and a second end structure 402 are respectively disposed at two ends of the first filter group 1001, the first filter group 1001 is respectively connected to the transition plate 3003 and the bottle cap 3001 through the first end structure 401 and the second end structure 402, the first end structure 401 is rotatable relative to the transition plate 3003, and the second end structure 402 is rotatable relative to the bottle cap 3001.

The two ends of the first filtering group 1001 are respectively limited between the bottle cap 3001 and the transition plate 3003, so that the first filtering group 1001 is convenient to install, has certain adjustability during installation, and cannot be inclined integrally after installation. When the first filter group 1001 is impacted by water flow, the first filter group 1001 which can rotate relative to the bottle cap 3001 and the transition plate 3003 has a certain buffer moving space, and is not easy to be inclined due to too large water pressure. A more uniform distribution of the water flow can be achieved more quickly.

The two ends of the second filtering set 2001 are respectively provided with a third end structure 47 and a fourth end structure 48, the second filtering set 2001 is respectively connected with a transition plate 3003 and a bottle cap 3001 through the third end structure 47 and the fourth end structure 48, the third end structure 47 can rotate relative to the transition plate 3003, and the fourth end structure 48 can rotate relative to the bottle cap 3001.

Two ends of the second filtering group 2001 are respectively limited between the bottle cap 3001 and the transition plate 3003, so that the second filtering group 2001 has certain adjustability during installation, and the whole body cannot be skewed after installation.

By the arrangement, the filtering group is connected with the transition port 3004 on the transition plate 3003 and the inlet and the outlet on the bottle cap 3001 through the end structure, so that the connection is very convenient, and unnecessary pipelines are reduced. Moreover, during the assembly of the bottle cap 3001, it is inevitable that the bottle cap 3001 needs to be tightly closed or loosened by rotation, and particularly, when the bottle cap 3001 is spin-welded to the bottle body 3002, the end structure can be rotatably connected without damaging the filter unit. In addition, the cap 3001 can be more tightly connected to the transition plate 3003 and the cap 3001 during the tightening process.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the housing 300 is provided with a first inlet/outlet 101, a second inlet/outlet 102, and a third inlet/outlet 201, and the first filter set 1001 includes a first filter element 10, a second filter element 20, and a water path partition plate 46. The waterway divider 46 is connected to the first end structure 401 and the second end structure 402, respectively, to divide the first housing chamber 100 into a first depression 1002 and a second depression 1003 (shown in fig. 3).

The first filter element 10 is disposed in the first low pressure region 1002, the water flowing in from the first inlet/outlet 101 flows out from the second inlet/outlet 102 after passing through the first filter element 10, the second filter element 20 is disposed in the second low pressure region 1003, and the water flowing in from the transition port 3004 flows out from the third inlet/outlet 201 after passing through the second filter element 20. The water path partition plate 46 separates the first filter member 10 and the second filter member 20 in the first receiving chamber 100 to form two independent purification water paths. Other filter elements can be connected between the two groups of filter elements; it is also possible to directly connect the water inlet of the first filter element 10 with the water outlet of the second filter element 20, or directly connect the water outlet of the first filter element 10 with the water inlet of the second filter element 20, so that the purification water path between the first filter element 10 and the second filter element 20 is in a front-rear series relationship.

The low pressure region here indicates that the first and

second filter members

10 and 20 can be normally operated without applying an additional external pressure during the filtration.

Optionally, the first low pressure zone 1002 and the second low pressure zone 1003 have a water pressure less than or equal to the municipal water supply water pressure. The tap water can enter the inlet of the low-pressure area conveniently.

Optionally, the water pressure in the first low-pressure area 1002 is 0.1-0.4 MPa. The tap water is easily introduced from the external pipe network into the first low-pressure region 1002 and filtered by the first filter element 10.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the water path partition plate 46 is cylindrical, the second filter element 20 is located inside the water path partition plate 46, the first filter element 10 is sleeved outside the water path partition plate 46, and both ends of the first filter element 10 and both ends of the second filter element 20 are sealed by the first end structure 401 and the second end structure 402.

Optionally, a first uniform flow channel 11 is defined between the first filtering member 10 and the inner wall of the first accommodating cavity 100, and a second uniform flow channel 12 is defined between the water channel partition plate 46 and the first filtering member 10. Here, when the liquid to be purified of the first filtering element 10 is uniformly distributed in the first uniform distribution flow passage 11, the liquid purified by the first filtering element 10 is uniformly distributed in the second uniform distribution flow passage 12; conversely, the same may be true.

The first accommodating chamber 100 is compact in overall arrangement, occupies a small installation space, and has high integration level. The first filter member 10 and the second filter member 20 are conveniently installed.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the first end structure 401 includes: and the first outer end cover 42 is connected with one end periphery of the water path partition plate 46 in a sealing mode, and the first outer end cover 42 is connected with one end periphery of the water path partition plate 46 in a sealing mode. As shown in fig. 1, the first outer end cap 42 closes the bottoms of the first filter element 10 and the second uniform flow passage 12, and provides a support for the first filter element 10, so that the liquid to be purified and the liquid after purification on the two sides of the first filter element 10 are effectively prevented from being mixed at the bottom, and the filtering effect of the first filter element 10 is ensured. The water path partition plate 46 is connected to the first outer end cover 42, which is beneficial for the first outer end cover 42 to be firmly arranged at a specific position, so that the second uniform distribution flow channel 12 and the third uniform distribution flow channel 21 are reliably separated, the series flow of the liquid in the first filter element 10 and the second filter element 20 is avoided, and the water quality reduction in each uniform distribution flow channel is avoided.

Optionally, the waterway isolation plate 46 is integrally formed with the first outer end cap 42. The integrated forming is convenient for processing and manufacturing. After the integral forming, a gap is not easy to appear between the waterway partition plate 46 and the first outer end cover 42, and the position is relatively stable.

The first outer end cover 42 is provided with a first insertion pipe 421 communicated with the second low-pressure region 1003, and the first insertion pipe 421 is inserted on the transition plate 3003. The first cannula 421 is inserted into the transition plate 3003, on one hand, the transition port 3004 is further closed, and unnecessary cross flow of liquid between the first accommodating cavity 100 and the second accommodating cavity 200 is prevented; on the other hand, the flow path connection between the second filter element 20 and the second filter bank 2001 is made easier.

The end face of the first filter element 10 is glued to the first outer end cap 42. Thus, the assembly is convenient, and the installation of the integrated core is convenient. Optionally, the first filter element 10 is sealingly attached to the first outer end cap 42 by a ring of hot melt adhesive.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the second end structure 402 comprises: a second outer end cap 44, a second middle end cap 45.

The second outer end cap 44 is inserted into the bottle cap 3001 (the first bottle cap 310 in fig. 1), and the end face of the first filter element 10 is glued to the second outer end cap 44. The second outer end cap 44 seals the tops of the first filter element 10 and the second uniform flow passage 12, and provides a connection for the first filter element 10, so as to separate the first inlet/outlet 101 and the second inlet/outlet 102, thereby effectively preventing the liquid to be purified and the purified liquid on the two sides of the first filter element 10 from being mixed at the top, and further ensuring the filtering effect of the first filter element 10.

Specifically, the second outer end cap 44 is fitted on an axial end face of the first filter element 10 away from the transition port 3004 to block the first filter element 10, and the second outer end cap 44 is provided with an outer port 441 inserted into the bottle cap 3001.

Alternatively, the periphery of the second outer end cap 44 is provided with a downward flange, and the inner side face of the flange is in contact with the outer peripheral face of the first filter member 10. The arrangement of the flanging makes the connection between the second outer end cover 44 and the first filter element 10 tighter, and increases the reliability of the connection. And the liquid blocking effect of the second outer end cover 44 on the end face of the first filter piece 10 can be enhanced, and the fool-proof fit of the first filter piece 10 can be formed, so that the assembly is easy.

The axial end face of the first filter element 10 is glued to the second outer end cap 44, which facilitates not only assembly but also installation of the integrated core. Optionally, the first filter element 10 is sealingly attached to the second outer end cap 44 by a ring of hot melt adhesive.

In the example of fig. 3, a sixth cannula 442 is formed on the second outer end cap 44, the orifice of the sixth cannula 442 forming the outer port 441. The sixth cannula 442 may be inserted within the second adapter 312 and the sixth cannula 442 may also be inserted outside the second adapter 312. In order to improve the sealing effect, a sealing ring is disposed between the sixth insertion tube 442 and the second connection tube 312.

As can be seen, one end of the first filter member 10 is inserted into the transition opening 3004 through the first outer end cap 42, and the other end of the first filter member 10 is inserted into the second connection pipe 312 through the second outer end cap 44, so that the position of the first filter member 10 is substantially fixed, and the assembly process is a two-end insertion process, thereby making the assembly very simple and time-saving. And both ends of the first filter member 10 are not removed as long as the housing 300 is not deformed, whereby it can be seen that the first filter member 10 is assembled with high reliability.

The second intermediate cap 45 is sealingly connected to the circumferential wall of the water passage partition plate 46, and the second intermediate cap 45 is inserted into the cap 3001 (the first cap 310 in fig. 1).

Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, a third connection tube 313 is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the first bottle cap 310 facing the bottle body 3002, and a middle port 451 is disposed on the second middle end cap 45 and connected to the third connection tube 313 in an inserting manner.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the second middle cap 45 may not be provided, so that the waterway isolation plate 46 may be directly connected to the third connection pipe 313, thereby saving the number of parts. However, since the second filter element 20 is assembled to the inner side of the waterway partition plate 46, the waterway partition plate 46 cannot be installed if the opening is small, and the assembly of the second outer end cap 44 and the first filter element 10 is affected if the opening of the waterway partition plate 46 is large, which increases the difficulty of the whole assembly.

Therefore, the second middle end cover 45 is provided, parts such as the second filter piece 20 and the like are firstly installed in the water channel partition plate 46 during assembly, and then the second middle end cover 45 is connected to the water channel partition plate 46, so that the assembly requirement is met, and the reliability of the overall assembly is improved. On the other hand, when the water path partition plate 46 is integrally formed with the first outer end cap 42, the water path partition plate can be manufactured by an integral injection molding method, and at this time, the second middle end cap 45 should not be integrally injection molded for convenience of mold opening.

The third connecting pipe 313 is arranged on the first bottle cap 310, the third connecting pipe 313 is connected with the middle port 451 in an inserted mode, the step of fixing the end portion of the water path partition plate 46 only comprises the inserting process, and the first bottle cap is very simple to assemble, saves time and is high in reliability. In the example of fig. 3, a seventh cannula 452 is formed on the second middle end cap 45, and a nozzle of the seventh cannula 452 forms the middle port 451. The seventh cannula 452 may be inserted inside the third adapter 313 and the seventh cannula 452 may also be inserted outside the third adapter 313. In order to improve the sealing effect, a sealing ring is arranged between the seventh insertion tube 452 and the third connection tube 313, and a sealing ring is also arranged between the second middle end cover 45 and the waterway partition plate 46.

In the example of fig. 1, the small distance between the second center end cap 45 and the second outer end cap 44 allows for a delicate balancing of the water pressure as it passes through the first filter element 10. That is, when the water pressure inside the waterway partition 46 is higher than the water pressure outside, the second middle cap 45 may be pressed against the second outer cap 44, and the filtering speed of the first filter member 10 is slowed down. During normal operation, the water pushes the second middle end cover 45 open and flows normally toward the second inlet/outlet 102.

In some embodiments of the invention, the second filter element 20 is cylindrical and is spaced apart from the waterway spacer 46. The third uniform flow channel 21 is formed between the cylindrical second filter element 20 and the water passage partition plate 46.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the second end structure 402 further comprises: a second inner end cap 43, and the second inner end cap 43 is inserted into the bottle cap 3001 (the first bottle cap 310 in fig. 1). The form of the insertion fit is convenient for assembly.

Optionally, a second inner end cap 43 is fitted on the axial end face of the second filter member 20 far from the transition port 3004 to block the second filter member 20, and an inner end port 431 communicating with the third inlet and outlet port 201 is provided on the second inner end cap 43. Here, the second inner end cap 43 closes the top of the second filter element 20 and provides a top connection for the second filter element 20 and a direction for the third inlet/outlet 201, which effectively prevents the liquid to be purified on both sides of the second filter element 20 and the purified liquid from crossing at the top, further ensuring the filtering effect of the second filter element 20. The fluid filtered by the second filter assembly 20 is collected in the fourth uniform flow channel 22 and discharged to the outside through the inner port 431.

Alternatively, the periphery of the second inner end cap 43 is provided with a downward flange whose inner side surface is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the second filter member 20. The second inner end cap 43 is provided with an inner flange extending into the fourth equispaced flow channels 22, and the outer peripheral surface of the inner flange contacts the inner peripheral surface of the second filter member 20. The inner flange and the outer flange are each arranged the same, so that the connection between the second inner end cap 43 and the second filter element 20 is tighter, and the reliability of the connection is increased. And the liquid blocking effect of the second inner end cap 43 on the end face of the second filter member 20 can be enhanced, and the fool-proof fit of the second inner end cap 43 can be formed, so that the assembly is easy.

Specifically, one end face of the second filter member 20 is glued to the second inner end cap 43, which not only facilitates assembly, but also facilitates installation of the integrated core. Optionally, the second filter pack 20 is sealingly attached to the second inner end cap 43 by a bead of hot melt adhesive.

Specifically, the first end structure 401 further includes: the first inner end cap 41, and the other end face of the second filter member 20 is glued to the first inner end cap 41.

One end of the second filter member 20 is inserted into the first connection pipe 311 through the second inner end cap 43, the other end of the second filter member 20 is sealed by the first inner end cap 41, and the interval between the first inner end cap 41 and the first outer end cap 42 is very small, which is equivalent to that the other end of the second filter member 20 is supported by the first outer end cap 42. In this way, the position of the second filter element 20 is also substantially fixed and the assembly step is carried out with only one end plugged, which makes it possible to assemble it very simply and in a time-saving manner. And both ends of the second filter member 20 are not removed as long as the housing 300 is not deformed, whereby it is seen that the assembling reliability of the second filter member 20 is high.

In some examples, as shown in fig. 3, the inner peripheral wall of the first bottle cap 310 of the housing 300 is provided with a first connection tube 311 and a second connection tube 312, the inner port 431 of the second inner end cap 43 is connected with the first connection tube 311 in a plugging manner, and the outer port 441 of the second outer end cap 44 is connected with the second connection tube 312 in a plugging manner. This manner of assembling the plug connection makes it very easy to fix the first filter cartridge 10 and the second filter cartridge 20 in the housing 300.

In the example of fig. 3, a fifth cannula 432 is formed on the second inner end cap 43, and a nozzle of the fifth cannula 432 forms the above-described inner port 431. The fifth cannula 432 may be inserted inside the first adapter 311, and the fifth cannula 432 may also be inserted outside the first adapter 311. In order to improve the sealing effect, a sealing ring is disposed between the fifth insertion tube 432 and the first connection tube 311.

In some embodiments, all of the components of the first receiving cavity 100 are pre-assembled into a single piece, that is, the first filter element 10, the second filter element 20, the first inner end cap 41, the first outer end cap 42, the second inner end cap 43, the second outer end cap 44, and the second middle end cap 45 are pre-connected into a front-rear integrated filter cartridge. Even the sealing rings at the first adapter 311, the second adapter 312, and the third adapter 313 may be pre-assembled to the fifth cannula 432, the sixth cannula 442, and the seventh cannula 452.

Such a front-rear integrated filter element can be directly inserted between the transition plate 3003 and the first bottle cap 310 during assembly, and the assembly process of the whole machine is greatly simplified. And if first bottle lid 310 is the removable connection on bottle 3002, that user's back of using, also can change by oneself the leading-back integration filter core (the filter core subassembly in the low-pressure zone), the operating procedure when user oneself changes is also very easy moreover, has improved user's the experience of trading the core, has reduced the cost of trading the core.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3, the second middle end cap 45, the second inner end cap 43, and the second outer end cap 44 are flush at the top. The capping of the top of the first receiving chamber 100 by the first cap 310 is facilitated.

Here, the third filter element 30 can further increase the overall filtering function of the composite filter element assembly 1000, and improve the quality of the discharged water.

Alternatively, the pressure of the water in the high pressure zone 2002 (shown in FIGS. 3 and 4) may be 0.7-0.85 MPa.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the housing 300 is provided with a fourth port 302 and a fifth port 301. When the fourth inlet/outlet 302 is the water inlet of the third filter 30, the fifth inlet/outlet 301 is the water outlet of the third filter 30; conversely, when the fourth inlet/outlet 302 is the water outlet of the third filter 30, the fifth inlet/outlet 301 is the water inlet of the third filter 30.

Alternatively, the third filter member 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape, a fifth uniform flow passage 31 is defined between the third filter member 30 and the inner wall of the second accommodating chamber 200, the fourth inlet/outlet 302 communicates with the fifth uniform flow passage 31, and the center of the third filter member 30 is disposed opposite to the transition port 3004. Different uniformly distributed flow passages are respectively formed on the inner side and the outer side of the cylindrical third filtering element 30, one is the fluid to be purified of the third filtering element 30, the other is the fluid purified by the third filtering element 30, and a flow cavity in the middle of the third filtering element 30 is communicated with the transition port 3004.

From the layout of the third filter element 30 and the fifth uniform flow channel 31, when the water flow passes through the third filter element 30, most of the water flow passes through the third filter element 30 along the radial direction, the passing path is short, and the flow volume is large. And the impurities on the surface of the filter piece are washed when the water flows through the filter piece in the radial direction, and the water flows through the filter piece after the impurities are more easily washed away. Most of water flow of the filtering piece flows along the axial direction basically when water enters the filtering piece, so that the uniform distribution of the water flow is facilitated, and the impurities washed away are brought to one end of the axial direction, so that the impurities are prevented from being blocked on the surface of the filtering piece.

Eventually purified water enters the center tube 33 from the filtered water inlet and then flows toward the transition port 3004. The water that does not permeate into the reverse osmosis membrane bag 32 is collected at the waste water collecting pipe 34, the remaining waste water flows to the waste water collecting hole on the pipe wall of the waste water collecting pipe 34, and the waste water collecting pipe 34 is connected with the fifth inlet and outlet 301, and the waste water is discharged from the fifth inlet and outlet 301.
