Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filter cartridge, and in particular, is excellent in sealing performance between a stock solution and a purifying solution and between the inside and the outside of a cartridge, productivity of a purifying solution and reliability of a purifying function, and easy replacement.
- the present invention relates to a filter cartridge which has reliable and excellent maintainability, and is particularly preferably used for process equipment and household water purifiers in the fields of the chemical industry and the food industry.
- the present invention relates to a stationary water purifier for obtaining purified water from raw water such as tap water through a water purification mechanism including a filtering member such as a ceramic filter or a hollow fiber filter and an adsorbing member such as activated carbon and the like.
- a stationary water purifier for obtaining purified water from raw water such as tap water through a water purification mechanism including a filtering member such as a ceramic filter or a hollow fiber filter and an adsorbing member such as activated carbon and the like.
- a stationary water purifier for obtaining purified water from raw water such as tap water through a water purification mechanism including a filtering member such as a ceramic filter or a hollow fiber filter and an adsorbing member such as activated carbon and the like.
- the present invention relates to a stationary water purifier.
- the undiluted solution 701 to be purified taken in from one end is purified by permeating the inside, and the A cylindrical filter body 703 to be taken out as 2, a stock solution inlet 704 for taking in the stock solution 701, and a purification solution outlet 705 for taking out the purification solution 702, and a stock solution intake 70
- the filter case 706 and the filter body 703 are arranged so that the filter body 703 is stored in a sealed state except for the filter liquid outlet 7 and the purifying liquid outlet 705.
- the undiluted solution 701 introduced through the undiluted solution intake 704 of the filter case 706 penetrates the inside of the filter body 703 so that it is positioned and stored at the predetermined position in 6 Of the filter case 706 without entering the purified solution And as guided to the mouth 7 0 5, Phil evening Fill evening case 7 regions and including the corresponding outer edge portion of the main body 7 0 3 At least one sealing member 70 having an L-shaped cross-section cut along a plane including the center axis of the filter body 703 disposed between the areas including the inner edge of the filter 703. And a filter cartridge 700 having the following.
- the filter cartridge 700 has a filter case 706, a case body 706a including a stock solution inlet 704, and a case lid body 706b including a purifying solution outlet 705.
- O-rings 708 are provided between the inner peripheral wall of the case cover 706 and the outer peripheral wall of the case main body 706a in order to increase the reliability of the seal.
- the inner peripheral wall of the case lid 706 b and the outer peripheral wall of the case main body 706 a are screwed together in the corresponding areas to be detachably fixed and integrated. It is configured.
- the above-mentioned filter cartridge is excellent in that it has a certain effect on the sealing property between the undiluted solution and the purifying solution, and is easy to replace and has a certain effect on the maintenance property.
- a filter provided with a filter filter having at least a filtration layer containing activated carbon and a ceramic membrane filter incorporated in a case has been proposed (Patent No. 3 1 2 4 6 2 7)
- This water purifier is easy to replace, has a certain effect on maintainability, and suppresses clogging of ceramic membrane filter and increase in pressure loss. It is excellent in that it can.
- the purification solution 720 is configured to be taken out only from the end of the filtration body main body 703 on the side of the purification solution outlet 705 side.
- the purification treatment amount of 02 was limited, which was not satisfactory in terms of the productivity of the purified liquid.
- the outer peripheral wall portion of the filter body 703 is easily contaminated by bacteria and dirt because the flow of the purifying liquid 702 is easily blocked, and it is difficult to clean the outer peripheral wall portion of the filter body 703.
- Phil Yukariichi had to replace the cartridge itself.
- the user may inadvertently disassemble the integrated structure of the case lid part 706b and the case body part 706a, and continue to use it with the original purification function impaired. There was a title.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has excellent sealing properties between a stock solution and a purifying solution and between the inside and the outside of a cartridge, as well as excellent purifying solution productivity and reliability of a purifying function. It is a first object of the present invention to provide a filter cartridge having easy and reliable replacement and excellent maintainability, and particularly suitable for use in process equipment and household water purifiers in fields such as the chemical industry and the food industry. And
- water purifiers currently on the market are roughly classified into two types: a type in which the water purification mechanism is attached to a water tap, and a stationary type in which the water purification mechanism is mounted at a position away from the faucet.
- the water purifier of the type that is attached to the tap is a water tap that has a cartridge with a built-in water purification mechanism, and a switching cock that switches between tapping straight water and discharging tap water.
- the water purification capacity is small because the size of the cartridge with a built-in water purification mechanism is limited due to the strength of the water tap and the handling, so it is used exclusively for home use.
- the stationary type requires a switching cock to switch between the case where the tap water is fed straight through the tap and the case where purified water is obtained. It can be used to increase the water purification capacity as appropriate, so that it is used for homes and businesses that use a large amount of purified water.
- the stationary water purifier 900 described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-147731 will be described.
