2) the hatch 2 is opened, and the drain pipe 3 'is taken out from the plurality of fixing buckles 4';

3) unplugging the plug 5 'from the end of the drain tube 3' (this step is laborious and difficult for the female user to handle);

4) the water is completely led into the water receiving container (the operation of the common container is difficult);

5) after draining the accumulated water, the plug 5 'is plugged back to the end of the drain pipe 3' (which is not easy);

6) then the drainage tube 3 'is pressed into a plurality of fixing buckles 4' in sequence;

7) dumping the wastewater in the water container;

8) cleaning the water receiving container;

Therefore, the lint filter 100 should be periodically cleaned from the viewpoint of reducing the drainage time and sanitation.

However, since the residual washing water is accumulated in the lint filter 100, the residual washing water in the lint filter 100 must be drained first to clean the filter element 1 by screwing down in order to prevent the sewage from flowing across the filter. As shown in fig. 1, a conventional lint filter is provided with a drain pipe 3 ', the drain pipe 3' is fixed to a housing of a filter element 1, and is communicated with an inside of the filter element 1 through a bulkhead of a filter chamber 300 at a bottom of the filter element 1, and in order to guide accumulated water into a water storage tank, the drain pipe 3 'is extended from the filter chamber 300 to be long, and therefore, in order to receive the drain pipe 3', a plurality of fixing buttons 4 'are generally provided on the bulkhead to receive and fix the drain pipe 3'. In order to avoid the accidental leakage of accumulated water, the tail end of the drain pipe 3 'is also provided with a plug 5', and the plug 5 'is usually in interference fit with the pipe orifice of the drain pipe 3' and is tightly plugged. When clearing up for the first time, some users do not know to drain residual water first at all, have directly unscrewed filter core 1, and several hundred milliliters sewage mix the mould thread crumbs and can scatter on subaerial fast like this, bring not good experience for the user, increased extra labour. Furthermore, when it is clear that it is necessary to drain the accumulated water inside the cartridge 1 first, the following steps are also required:

1) preparing a water container (which is not easy to find because the drain pipe 3' is arranged close to the ground, the openings of basins and bottles are high, water cannot be drained, and water is easy to overflow when the drain pipe is inclined too much);

2) the hatch 2 is opened, and the drain pipe 3 'is taken out from the plurality of fixing buckles 4';

3) unplugging the plug 5 'from the end of the drain tube 3' (this step is laborious and difficult for the female user to handle);

4) the accumulated water is completely led into the water receiving container (the operation of the common container is difficult);

5) after draining the accumulated water, the plug 5 'is plugged back to the end of the drain pipe 3' (which is not easy);

6) then the drainage tube 3 'is pressed into a plurality of fixing buckles 4' in sequence;

7) dumping the wastewater in the water receiving container;

8) cleaning the water receiving container;

9) loosening and taking out the filter element 1 for cleaning;

10) installing and screwing the filter element 1;

11) the hatch 2 is buckled.

Therefore, when the existing thread scrap filter is cleaned, the operation steps are complicated, some operation steps are difficult to operate, the cleaning difficulty is increased, and a user is reluctant to clean the thread scrap filter.

In order to solve the above problems, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the lint filter 100 provided in this embodiment further includes a drainage component 3 and a water collection component 4, wherein the water collection component 4 is fixed on an inner wall of the hatch 2, one end of the drainage component 3 is communicated with the inside of the filter element 1, the other end of the drainage component 3 is communicated with the water collection component 4, when the hatch 2 opens the filtering chamber 300, the accumulated water in the filter element 1 automatically flows into the water collection component 4 through the drainage component 3; when the hatch 2 blocks the filter cabin 300, the drainage component 3 bends to cut off the circulation of the accumulated water inside the filter element 1 in the drainage component 3.
