Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means at least two, e.g., two, three, etc., unless specifically limited otherwise.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of a filter element structure 10 includes an inner core 700, a filter bottle body 100, a filter bottle cap 200, and an end cap 300, wherein the filter bottle body 100 includes an open end 120, an installation cavity 110 is disposed in the filter bottle body 100, the open end 120 is provided with an opening 122 communicating with the installation cavity 110, the inner core 700 is inserted into the installation cavity 110 along the opening 122 and is disposed in the installation cavity 110, the end cap 300 is inserted into the installation cavity 110 through the opening 122 to close the opening 122, the filter bottle cap 200 covers the end cap 300 and is sleeved outside the filter bottle body 100, and when a filter element needs to be replaced, the filter bottle cap 200 and the end cap 300 are removed, and the inner core 700 is removed from the installation cavity 110.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the filter cap 200 has a receiving cavity 210, and the filter cap 200 is sleeved on the opening end 120 through the receiving cavity 210. Referring to fig. 3, the end cap 300 is used for sealing the opening 122, and the end cap 300 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 210. During the process of sleeving the filter bottle cap 200 on the filter bottle body 100, the filter bottle cap 200 pushes the end cap 300 to be inserted into the mounting cavity 110 along the opening 122 to seal the opening 122. When it is desired to replace the filter cartridge, the filter cap 200 is removed from the filter body 100, and during removal of the filter cap 200, the filter cap 200 can be pulled along with the end cap 300 out of the mounting cavity 110 to open the opening 122.

Alternatively, the filter cap 200 can be moved relative to the filter bottle body 100, and the filter cap 200 can be inserted into the filter bottle body 100 or removed from the filter bottle body 100 by moving relative to the filter bottle body 100. The manner of movement of the filter bottle cap 200 relative to the filter bottle body 100 may be: the filter bottle cap 200 moves in a linear direction relative to the filter bottle body 100, similar to a plugging and unplugging manner; alternatively, the filter cap 200 may be rotated relative to the filter bottle body 100, for example, the filter cap 200 may be threadably coupled to the filter bottle body 100, and the filter cap 200 may be threadably mounted to the filter bottle body 100.

In the implementation process, referring to fig. 3, when the filter bottle cap 200 is in the first state, at this time, the filter bottle cap 200 moves relative to the open end 120 along the direction of sleeving the open end 120 to drive the end cap 300 to extend into the mounting cavity 110 along the opening 122, and at this time, the sealing of the opening 122 and the mounting of the filter bottle cap 200 are completed.

Referring to fig. 2, when the filter bottle cap 200 is in the second state, the filter bottle cap 200 moves relative to the open end 120 in the direction of withdrawing the open end 120 and drives the end cap 300 to withdraw from the mounting cavity 110 along the opening 122, and at this time, the inner core 700 can be taken out along the mounting cavity 110, and the inner core 700 is cleaned or replaced, so that the use is convenient. Moreover, the entire filter cartridge assembly 10 need not be discarded when the core 700 has reached its life, thereby saving replacement costs.

The alternative mounting between the end cap 300 and the filter cap 200 will be described with reference to the following embodiments.

Referring to fig. 3, to facilitate the end cap 300 sealing the opening 122, a second sealing ring 820 is generally disposed between the end cap 300 and the inner wall at the opening 122. Because the end cap 300 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 210, when the filter bottle cap 200 is mounted on the filter bottle body 100 in a relative rotation manner, the friction between the end cap 300 and the second sealing ring 820 and between the second sealing ring 820 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 210 is too large to prevent the end cap 300 and the filter bottle cap 200 from being detached and installed due to the fact that the filter bottle body 100 drives the end cap 300 to rotate relative to the accommodating cavity 210 during rotation. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in the present embodiment, the filter element structure 10 further includes a connector 400, and the end cap 300 is movably connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 210 through the connector 400. Therefore, when the filter cap 200 rotates, the end cap 300 will not be driven to rotate, and only the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 210 will press the end cap 300 to extend into the mounting cavity 110 along the opening 122.

In use, when the filter cap 200 is in the first state, the filter cap 200 moves relative to the open end 120 in a direction of sleeving the open end 120 and pushes the end cap 300 to extend into the mounting cavity 110 along the opening 122 through the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 210. When the filter cap 200 is in the second state, the filter cap 200 is moved relative to the open end 120 in a direction to withdraw the open end 120 and pull the end cap 300 through the connector 400 and out of the mounting cavity 110 along the opening 122.

Referring to fig. 5, which shows an assembly manner between the end cap 300 and the filter bottle cap 200 in an embodiment, in the embodiment, the filter bottle cap 200 includes a mounting body 220, and referring to fig. 4, the mounting body 220 is fixedly disposed on an inner wall of the accommodating cavity 210.

Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the end cap 300 is provided with a first mounting surface 310 and a second mounting surface 320 which are oppositely arranged, the end cap 300 is further provided with a mounting hole 330 which penetrates through the first mounting surface 310 and the second mounting surface 320, and the first mounting surface 310 is closer to the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 210 than the second mounting surface 320. The mounting body 220 is movably inserted into the mounting hole 330 from one side of the first mounting surface 310, so that when the filter cap 200 rotates, the mounting body 220 cannot drive the end cap 300 to rotate, and thus, the friction between the end cap 300 and the side wall of the accommodating cavity 210 when the end cap 300 rotates relative to the side wall of the accommodating cavity 210 is prevented from hindering the rotation of the filter cap 200.

Further, with reference to fig. 5, one end of the connecting member 400 extends into the mounting hole 330 along one side of the second mounting surface 320 and is connected to the mounting body 220, and the other end of the connecting member 400 is in limit fit with the inner wall of the mounting hole 330 or the second mounting surface 320 to drive the end cap 300 to move. Thus, the end cap 300 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 210 through the mounting body 220 and the connecting member 400, and it can be understood that the end cap 300 is indirectly connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 210. And the connector 400 is capable of pulling the end cap 300 out of the opening 122 and out of the mounting cavity 110 as the filter bottle cap 200 is withdrawn from the filter bottle body 100.

Referring to fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the connecting member 400 is in limit fit with the inner wall of the mounting hole 330; specifically, a first limiting protrusion 332 is formed on an inner wall of the mounting hole 330, the first limiting protrusion 332 includes a first limiting surface 3322 facing the second mounting surface 320, a height of the first limiting surface 3322 from the first mounting surface 310 is smaller than a length of the mounting body 220, and the other end of the connecting member 400 is in limiting fit with the first limiting surface 3322. In this way, it is ensured that the mounting body 220 can be movably disposed in the mounting hole 330, and when the filter cap 200 is in the second state, the connecting member 400 can pull the end cap 300 out of the accommodating cavity 210.

In use, when the filter cap 200 is in the first state, the filter cap 200 is moved relative to the open end 120 in a direction of being sleeved on the open end 120 and pushes the end cap 300 to extend into the mounting cavity 110 along the opening 122 by the contact fit of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 210 and the first mounting surface 310.

When the filter cap 200 is in the second state, the filter cap 200 moves relative to the open end 120 in a direction to withdraw from the open end 120 and pulls the end cap 300 out of the mounting cavity 110 along the opening 122 by the other end of the connecting member 400 contacting and engaging with the first stopper surface 3322.

Optionally, referring to fig. 5, the connecting member 400 includes a screw, one end of the screw is connected to the mounting body 220, and the other end of the screw is in limit fit with the inner wall of the mounting hole 330. One end of the screw is a fixed end, the other end of the screw is a screw cap of the screw, and the screw cap is in limit fit with the inner wall of the mounting cavity 110. Specifically, referring to fig. 5, the screw cap is engaged with the first position-limiting surface 3322 in a position-limiting manner, and when the end cap 300 is installed in the installation cavity 110, the screw cap and the first position-limiting surface 3322 are spaced apart from each other, so that when the filter bottle cap 200 is removed from the filter bottle body 100, the screw cap is driven to move upward to pull the end cap 300 out of the installation cavity 110.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 6, the first position-limiting surface 3322 is formed with an abutting protrusion 33222, the abutting protrusion 33222 is used for abutting against the connector 400, and the height of the abutting protrusion 33222 from the first mounting surface 310 is less than the length of the mounting body 220. Thus, when the connector 400 is rotated and withdrawn by the filter cap 200, the friction between the connector 400 and the end cap 300 can be reduced.

Further, the connecting member 400 further includes a gasket, the gasket is inserted into the screw and disposed on the screw cap, and the abutting protrusion 33222 abuts against the gasket to reduce the friction force between the end cap 300 and the gasket.

Further, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the assembly between the installation body 220 and the installation hole 330, referring to fig. 5, in this embodiment, the filter element structure 10 further includes a first sealing ring 810, and the first sealing ring 810 is disposed between the installation body 220 and the inner wall of the installation hole 330 to achieve the effect of sealing the installation hole 330.

Specifically, with reference to fig. 5, the mounting body 220 includes an insertion portion 222 and a boss 224, the boss 224 is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 210, the insertion portion 222 is fixedly disposed on the boss 224, and the boss 224 protrudes relative to the circumferential side wall of the insertion portion 222 to form a structure similar to a stepped column; the first position-limiting protrusion 332 further includes a second position-limiting surface 3324 opposite to the first position-limiting surface 3322, when the insertion portion 222 is inserted into the installation hole 330, the second position-limiting surface 3324 and the boss 224 are spaced apart to form a first installation space 230, and the first sealing ring 810 is sleeved on the insertion portion 222 and hermetically disposed in the first installation space 230. Thus, the first sealing ring 810 can seal the gap between the mounting body 220 and the mounting hole 330, so as to seal the mounting hole 330; in addition, the boss 224 and the second limiting surface 3324 cooperate to prevent the first sealing ring 810 from falling off. Further, the difference between the height of the abutting protrusion 33222 from the first mounting surface 310 and the length of the mounting body 220 is smaller than the height of the boss 224, so that the boss 224 has a certain squeezing effect on the first sealing ring 810, and the stability of the first sealing ring 810 sealing the mounting hole 330 is improved.

Preferably, referring to fig. 5, the boss 224 is fixedly disposed at a central position of the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 210, so that the end cap 300 can be positioned at the central position of the accommodating cavity 210 when the end cap 300 is mounted on the mounting body 220, so that the end cap 300 is aligned with the opening 122.

Referring to fig. 4, the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 210 forms a support portion 214 for supporting the first mounting surface 310, and when the end cap 300 is mounted in the mounting cavity 110, the end cap 300 is supported by the support portion 214 to avoid pressure-bearing deformation and fracture. Alternatively, the support portion 214 may be a support rib.

In the above embodiments, it is mentioned that the filter bottle cap 200 and the filter bottle body 100 can be installed in a straight-line sleeved or rotating manner. In this embodiment, as one of the mounting means, the inner wall of the receiving chamber 210 is rotatably connected to the filter flask body 100.

An alternative embodiment for achieving the rotational connection of the filter cap 200 and the filter body 100 will be described in detail with reference to the following examples.

Referring to fig. 2 and 7, the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 210 is provided with a first thread structure 212, and the outer wall of the open end 120 is provided with a second thread structure 124 which is spirally engaged with the first thread structure 212. In this manner, the filter cap 200 is assembled with the filter body 100 in a spiral manner. In addition, when the filter bottle body 100 and the filter bottle cap 200 are assembled by threads, the end cap 300 moves linearly when the filter bottle cap 200 advances or retreats in a screwing manner, so that the friction force generated when the end cap 300 and the filter bottle body 100 move linearly is overcome by the torque generated in the screwing process, and the assembly and disassembly are more labor-saving.

Further, the outer diameter of the filter flask body 100 is D, the thread pitch of the first thread structure 212 is D, wherein D is more than or equal to 0.04D and less than or equal to 0.08D. Thus, when the pitch of the first thread structure 212 is within the range, the filter bottle cap 200 can be rotated in a labor-saving manner and is convenient to disassemble and assemble.

In the conventional filter element structure 10, the first thread structure 212 on the filter bottle cap 200 is provided with a relief groove with gradually decreasing width, and when the second thread structure 124 is screwed with the first thread structure 212, the end of the second thread structure 124 can be screwed into the relief groove to generate holding force, so as to prevent the filter bottle cap 200 from falling off, but the filter bottle cap 200 and the filter bottle body 100 are difficult to detach.

When the user is installing filter bottle lid 200, on the one hand need filter bottle lid 200 can not drop from filter bottle body 100 easily, on the other hand needs again to dismantle laborsavingly between filter bottle lid 200 and the filter bottle body 100, so, then need not produce the power of holding tightly between first helicitic texture 212 and the second helicitic texture 124 in the complex in-process.

Referring to fig. 2 and 7, in the present embodiment, the first thread structure 212 has a first thread stop 21222, and the second thread structure 124 has a second thread stop 12422 engaging with the first thread stop 21222. As such, when the first and

second thread structures

212, 124 are in limited engagement by the first and second thread stops 21222, 12422, the first and

second thread structures

212, 124 cannot be rotated further to generate a tightening force.

Optionally, referring to fig. 2 and fig. 7, the starting end of the second thread structure 124 includes a spiral protrusion 1242, an end surface of the spiral protrusion 1242 is a second thread stop 12422, the end of the first thread structure 212 is provided with a spiral groove 2122 for spirally mating with the spiral protrusion 1242, and an end surface of the spiral groove 2122 is a first thread stop 21222 for limiting and mating with the thread protrusion. So, when the filter bottle cap 200 is screwed into the filter bottle body 100, the end surface of the spiral protrusion 1242 is in spacing fit with the end surface of the spiral groove 2122, the filter bottle cap 200 cannot rotate continuously but the tightening force between the filter bottle cap 200 and the filter bottle body 100 cannot be generated, when the filter bottle cap 200 is screwed out, the end surface of the spiral protrusion 1242 and the end surface of the spiral groove 2122 can be easily separated, and then the filter bottle cap 200 can be easily screwed out from the filter bottle body 100.

In addition to any of the above embodiments, referring to fig. 8 and 9, the filter element structure 10 further includes a mounting tube 600, and the filter bottle body 100 is inserted into the mounting tube 600. The filter cap 200 also includes a handle 900, and it is generally necessary to grasp the handle 900 and rotate the filter cap 200 to rotate the filter cap 200 and filter body 100 out of the mounting cartridge 600 when removing the mounting cartridge 600 and filter body 100. In order to prevent the filter bottle cap 200 from being screwed down together when the mounting cartridge 600 is removed, thereby preventing water in the filter bottle body 100 from leaking, the filter bottle cap 200 needs to be fixed or the rotation range of the filter bottle cap 200 needs to be limited.

Referring to fig. 3, the filter element structure 10 further includes a limiting member 500, one end of the limiting member 500 is detachably connected to the filter bottle cap 200, and the other end of the limiting member 500 is in limiting fit with the filter bottle body 100 to limit the filter bottle cap 200 from separating from the open end 120 to open the opening 122. The limiting member 500 is installed on the filter bottle body 100, and when the filter bottle cap 200 is sleeved on the filter bottle body 100, the filter bottle cap 200 is limited on the filter bottle body 100 by the limiting member 500, so that the filter bottle cap 200 is prevented from being detached together when the mounting cylinder 600 is detached.

Wherein, the other end of locating part 500 and the spacing cooperation of filter flask body 100 can be: the limiting member 500 can be directly fixed on the filter bottle body 100 or the limiting member 500 can move with the filter bottle body 100, but the filter bottle body 100 limits the moving range of the limiting member 500 by the limiting cooperation of the limiting member 500 and the filter bottle body 100, thereby indirectly limiting the opening 122 which can not be opened by separating the filter bottle cover 200 from the filter bottle body 100.

Referring to fig. 3 and 10, in one embodiment, the stopper 500 is sleeved on the filter bottle body 100, one end of the stopper 500 is provided with a first connection portion 510 for detachable connection with the filter bottle cap 200, and when the filter bottle body 100 is inserted into the mounting cylinder 600, the mounting cylinder 600 pushes the stopper 500 to move until the first connection portion 510 is connected with the filter bottle cap 200. Optionally, referring to fig. 9, the inner wall of the mounting tube 600 is provided with a fourth limiting portion 610, and when the filter bottle body 100 extends into the mounting tube 600, the fourth limiting portion 610 is in limiting fit with the limiting member 500 and pushes the limiting member 500 to move along, so that the first connecting portion 510 can be detachably connected with the filter bottle cap 200.

In order to avoid the separation of the limiting member 500 from the filter bottle body 100 when the mounting barrel 600 is detached, referring to fig. 11, the filter bottle body 100 is provided with a first limiting portion 130 and a second limiting portion 140 spaced apart from each other along the length direction of the filter bottle body 100, the first limiting portion 130 is closer to the filter bottle cap 200 than the second limiting portion 140, the other end of the limiting member 500 is provided with a third limiting portion 520 for limiting and matching with the first limiting portion 130 and the second limiting portion 140, and the limiting member 500 can move between the first limiting portion 130 and the second limiting portion 140 through the limiting and matching of the third limiting portion 520 with the first limiting portion 130 and the second limiting portion 140. Alternatively, the first position-limiting part 130 may be protrusions, and the number of the protrusions corresponds to the number of the third position-limiting parts 520; the second position-limiting portion 140 is an annular protrusion.

Specifically, referring to fig. 11, when the filter bottle body 100 is mounted on the mounting tube 600, the limiting member 500 moves along the direction from the second limiting portion 140 to the first limiting portion 130 until the first connecting portion 510 is detachably connected to the filter bottle cap 200 under the pushing of the mounting tube 600.

Further, in order to enable the stopper 500 to be detachably connected to the filter cap 200 when pushed by the mounting cylinder 600, the rotation range of the stopper 500 needs to be limited. Based on this, referring to fig. 10 and fig. 11, in the present embodiment, the limiting member 500 is a limiting ring, a third limiting portion 520 is formed on an inner wall of the limiting member 500, the third limiting portion 520 includes a limiting buckle 522, a second limiting protrusion 524 and a third limiting protrusion 526, and the second limiting protrusion 524 and the third limiting protrusion 526 are disposed at intervals along a circumferential direction of the limiting member 500. The limit button 522 is arranged between the second limit protrusion 524 and the third limit protrusion 526, and the limit button 522, the second limit protrusion 524 and the third limit protrusion 526 are all installed between the first limit part 130 and the second limit part 140 in a limiting manner. The position-limiting buckle 522 is engaged with the first position-limiting portion 130 in a position-limiting manner, so that the position-limiting member 500 cannot be separated from the bottle body 100 from the opening end 120. In addition, the second limiting protrusion 524 and/or the third limiting protrusion 526 are/is in limiting fit with the second limiting portion 140, so that the limiting member 500 cannot be separated from the filter bottle body 100 from the other end opposite to the open end 120, and further, the limiting member 500 is limited on the filter bottle body 100 and cannot fall off. The second limiting protrusion 524 and the third limiting protrusion 526 are protruded along the inner wall of the limiting member 500, so that when the limiting member 500 is separated from the filter bottle cap 200, the filter bottle cap 200 just falls down to overlap with the second limiting portion 140 for limiting and matching.

Further, the first limiting portion 130 is installed between the second limiting protrusion 524 and the third limiting protrusion 526 in a limiting manner, so that the rotation range of the limiting member 500 is limited by the limiting cooperation of the second limiting protrusion 524 and the first limiting portion 130 and the limiting cooperation of the third limiting protrusion 526 and the first limiting portion 130, and then the limiting member 500 can only rotate in the region, so that the detachable connection between the limiting member 500 and the filter bottle cap 200 is facilitated. In addition, the rotation range of the limiting member 500 is further limited by the limiting fit of the second limiting protrusion 524 and the first limiting portion 130 and the limiting fit of the third limiting protrusion 526 and the first limiting portion 130, that is, the rotation range of the filter bottle cap 200 can be limited, and even if the mounting cylinder 600 is screwed out of the filter bottle body 100, the filter bottle cap 200 cannot be screwed out, so that the filter bottle body 100 and the filter bottle cap 200 can be separated from the mounting cylinder 600 together, and the inner core 700 can be conveniently and subsequently replaced or maintained independently.

Optionally, the first connection portion 510 is a first insertion protrusion, and the filter bottle cap 200 is provided with a first insertion groove 240 for insertion fit with the first insertion protrusion.

Referring to fig. 10, the first inserting protrusion is in the shape of an isosceles triangle, the first inserting groove 240 is in the shape of a trapezoid, four first inserting protrusions are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the limiting member 500, four first inserting grooves 240 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the filter bottle cap 200, each first inserting groove 240 includes three first inserting grooves 240, and the three first inserting grooves 240 are arranged at certain intervals along the circumferential direction of the filter bottle cap 200, and the specific interval is designed as required. The first plug-in projections, when assembled, engage with the first plug-in grooves 240 located in the single group of first plug-in grooves 240 in an intermediate position. Optionally, the longitudinal section of the first plugging protrusion is an isosceles triangle, and the base angle is 55-65 °. Within this range, the stopper 500 and the filter flask cover 200 can be easily attached and detached. The height of the first inserting projection is 3 mm-5 mm, when the first inserting projection is matched with the first inserting groove 240, the torque of the screw buckle at the water outlet end of the filter element is smaller than the maximum force of the elastic deformation of the first inserting projection, and therefore the filter bottle body 100 and the filter bottle cap 200 do not rotate relatively.

Further, the distance between the second limiting protrusion 524 and the third limiting protrusion 526 is greater than the length of the first limiting portion 130, and the difference between the distance between the second limiting protrusion 524 and the third limiting protrusion 526 and the length of the first limiting portion 130 is 2 to 3 times of the distance between two adjacent first insertion grooves 240 in a single group of first insertion grooves 240, so that a certain moving distance of the first insertion protrusions can be ensured when the first insertion protrusions are inserted into the first insertion grooves 240, and the sharp corners at the tops of the first insertion protrusions can be led into the first insertion grooves 240 along the oblique edges of the first insertion grooves 240 within the range of the first insertion grooves 240, thereby facilitating assembly between the first insertion protrusions and the first insertion grooves 240.

The third connecting portion 250 is a snap, and the snap 532 is engaged with the snap, so that when the filter bottle cap 200 is installed on the filter bottle body 100, the filter bottle cap 200 can be connected to the position-limiting member 500 through the engagement of the snap and the snap 532.

Further, a snap bump stopper is installed between the fourth stopper protrusion 534 and the fifth stopper protrusion 536. Therefore, when the limit fit between the clamping projection and the fourth limit projection 534 and the limit fit between the clamping projection and the fifth limit projection 536 limit the rotation range of the limiting member 500, and further the limiting member 500 can limit the rotation range of the filter bottle cap 200, on one hand, the clamping fit between the clamping projection and the buckle is convenient; on the other hand, even if the mounting cylinder 600 is unscrewed from the filter bottle body 100, the filter bottle cap 200 is not unscrewed, so that the filter bottle body 100 and the filter bottle cap 200 are separated from the mounting cylinder 600 together, and the filter element is convenient to replace or maintain independently.

Further, referring to fig. 13 to 15, the outer wall of the filter bottle 100 is provided with a first insertion portion 150, the other end of the limiting member 500 is provided with a second insertion portion 540, and the other end of the limiting member 500 is inserted and matched with the filter bottle 100 through the first insertion portion 150 and the second insertion portion 540 to limit and match. Thus, the insertion and engagement of the first insertion portion 150 and the second insertion portion 540 prevents the limiting member 500 from falling off along the other end of the filter bottle body 100 opposite to the inlet end, and further limits the limiting member 500 on the filter bottle body 100, thereby limiting the filter bottle body 100 from separating along the opening end 120 to open the opening 122.

Alternatively, the first mating part 150 may be a second mating protrusion, and the second mating part 540 may be a second mating groove.
