FILTER ASSEMBLY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/015098
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus capable of filtering inflowing raw water, wherein the filter assembly comprises: a filter for filtering raw water; a housing for holding the filter; a cap coupled to the housing; a connector coupled to the filter and cap, and including an inlet through which raw water enters, an outlet through which raw water filtered by the filter exits, and a discharge passage through which condensed water is discharged; a first fixing member for fixing the connector to the filter; and a second fixing member for fixing the connector to the filter. The filter includes a filter member for filtering raw water and a coupling member disposed at the top of the filter member and coupled with the connector. The coupling member includes a first flow passage for guiding raw water entering through the inlet to enter the top of the filter member, and a second flow passage for guiding water filtered from the raw water which entered the filter member through the first flow passage, to the outlet; therein, a third flow passage for moving condensed water to the discharge passage is maintained by a gap between the outer periphery of the filter and the inner periphery of the housing, and a gap between the inner periphery of the cap and the outer periphery of the coupling member. As a result, a technology is provided which simplifies the molded structure and reduces filter manufacturing costs. According to the present invention, not only is the mold easy to manufacture, but product manufacturing costs can be reduced, and work efficiency across manufacturing processes can be improved.
