[0041] A composite filter cartridge 12 according to embodiments of a first aspect of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to
[0042] As illustrated in
[0043] Specifically, the filtration assembly includes a pretreatment filter cartridge 121 and a fine filter cartridge 122 disposed successively from outside to inside. The fine filter cartridge 122 includes a central water collecting pipe 1221 and a fine filtration membrane 1222 wound around the central water collecting pipe 1221. In which, the pretreatment filter cartridge 121 may be a PAC (PP and C, a composite filter cartridge of PP cotton and activated carbon), for example, the pretreatment filter cartridge 121 may include a PP nonwoven winding layer (accuracy of the PP nonwoven winding layer may be set to 5 m) and an activated carbon fiber winding layer distributed successively from outside to inside in a radial direction of the composite filter cartridge 12. The pretreatment filter cartridge 121 may remove rust, silt, and absorb the abnormal color, odor, residual chlorine and a part of organic matter effectively, thereby ensuring a quality of the water entering the fine filter cartridge 122 and prolonging the service life of the fine filter cartridge 122. The fine filtration membrane 1222 of the fine filter cartridge 122 may be a reverse osmosis membrane or a nanofiltration membrane, the fine filter cartridge 122 may capture bacteria, viruses, heavy metal, etc. The fine filter cartridge 122 may be made by using multi-membrane rolling process, thus a performance of the fine filter cartridge 122 can be improved.
[0044] The first end cover 124 is disposed to a first end (for example, referring to
[0045] The second end cover 125 is formed to be a cylindrical shape and disposed to a second end (for example, referring to
[0046] The taste filter cartridge 123 is disposed in the second end cover 125, the taste filter cartridge 123 is connected with the central water collecting pipe 1221 and located downstream of the fine filter cartridge 122. The taste filter cartridge 123 may be an activated carbon layer, for example, the taste filter cartridge 123 may be an activated carbon rod. The taste filter cartridge 123 can remove volatile organic compounds and the residual chlorine, and keep the necessary minerals for example trace calcium, silicic acid, carbonate and the like to make the taste sweet and soft. A concentrated water channel a1 and a circulation channel a2 arranged sequentially from outside to inside and spaced apart from each other are defined between the taste filter cartridge 123 and the second end cover 125. The circulation channel a2 is communicated with the central water collecting pipe 1221. The taste filter cartridge 123 is provided with a pure water channel a3 configured for a pure water outflow.
[0047] A work process of the composite filter cartridge 12 will be briefly illustrated below with reference to the
[0048] Referring to
[0049] With taste filter cartridge 123 being disposed to an axial end of the fine filter cartridge 122, the whole composite filter cartridge 12 is configured to have a stereo arrangement, so that a diameter of the composite filter cartridge 12 can be reduced, which is beneficial for a pressure-endurance of a filtering housing 11 where the composite filter cartridge 12 is placed. A structure is simple and a volume is small to facilitate a miniaturization of the complete machine. In addition, not only a taste adjustment can be achieved, but also a reverse osmosis filtration of the water can be implemented so as to obtain a good quality of an outflow water.
[0050] Furthermore, the taste filter cartridge 123, the pretreatment filter cartridge 121 and the fine filter cartridge 122 are composed into an integrated filter cartridge, which reduces the number of pipe fittings, thereby reducing a risk of water leakage. When the filter cartridge is to be replaced, it is just needed to replace one filter cartridge integrally in one time, which reduces a replacement frequency for the user and is convenient for the user to use.
[0051] With the composite filter cartridge 12 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, by disposing the pretreatment filter cartridge 121 and the fine filter cartridge 122 successively from outside to inside, and positioning the taste filter cartridge 123 located downstream of the fine filter cartridge 122 at the axial end of the fine filter cartridge 122, the whole composite filter cartridge 12 is configured to have a stereo arrangement, so that the diameter of the composite filter cartridge 12 can be reduced, which is beneficial for pressure-endurance of the filtering housing 11 where the composite filter cartridge 12 is placed. Meanwhile, the structure is simple and the volume is small to facilitate the miniaturization of the complete machine, and in addition, the quality of the outflow water is good.

The protruding block 1261 mentioned above is formed on a bottom wall of the connecting casing 126, and the first positioning member 127 is located in the connecting casing 126 and the first positioning body 1271 of the first positioning member 127 is supported on the protruding block 1261 so that the first positioning body 1271 and the bottom wall of the connecting casing 126 can be spaced apart, thus the pure water in the central water collecting pipe 1221 can flow into the circulation channel a2 of the connecting casing 126 smoothly.
[0065] The first positioning body 1271 is formed to be a circular shape, a fifth flanging portion 1272 extending upwards is formed on the circumferential edge of the first positioning body 1271, a lower end of the taste filter cartridge 123 abuts against an inner circumferential wall of the fifth flanging portion 1272, so that a fitting stability of the first positioning member 127 and the taste filter cartridge 123 can be further improved. The fifth flanging portion 1272 is spaced apart from the inner circumferential wall of the connecting casing 126, then the gap between the first positioning member 127 and the inner wall of the connecting casing 126 and the gap between the outer circumferential wall of the taste filter cartridge 123 and the inner wall of the connecting casing 126 constitute the circulation channel a2 mentioned above together. The second positioning body 1281 is formed to be a circular shape, a sixth flanging portion 1282 extending downwards is formed on a circumferential edge of the second positioning body 1281. An upper end of the taste filter cartridge 123 abuts against an inner circumferential wall of the sixth flanging portion 1282, so that a fitting stability of the second positioning member 128 and the taste filter cartridge 123 can be further improved.
[0066] A composite filter cartridge assembly 1 according to embodiments of a second aspect of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to

[0074] The pure water pipeline b2 is connected to the pure water outlet 112 of the filtering housing 11, in the direction of the water flow, the check valve 5, the high pressure switch 6 and the water faucet are successively connected in the pure water pipeline b2 in series, the check valve 5 is unidirectionally open in a direction from the pure water outlet 112 to the water faucet. The check valve 5 is configured to prevent the water in the pure water pipeline b2 from flowing back into the composite filter cartridge 12, and the high pressure switch 6 can detect that whether the water faucet is in an open state or in a closed state according to a water pressure in the pure water pipeline b2. The waste water solenoid valve 7 is connected in the concentrated water pipeline b3 in series, and the waste water solenoid valve 7 is configured to adjust a proportion of the waste water to balance a working pressure of the water purification system 100.
[0075] Thus, when the water faucet is opened, the water purification system 100 starts to operate, the water intake solenoid valve 3 is opened, the high pressure switch 6 is closed, the raw water enters the raw water pipeline and flows through the pre-filtration mesh 2, the water intake solenoid valve 3 and the booster pump 4 successively, and then flows into the composite filter cartridge 12 through the raw water inlet 111 of the filtering housing 11 to carry out the purification process. A part of the water after being processed by the composite filter cartridge 12 is the pure water, which flows into the pure water pipeline b2 through the pure water outlet 112 of the filtering housing 11, and finally flows out through the water faucet for drinking; the other part thereof is the concentrated water, which flows into the concentrated water pipeline b3 through the concentrated water outlet 113 of the filtering housing 11 to be discharged.
