Abstract

A filtration device comprises a housing, a filtering apparatus, a first guide tube, a second guide tube, an impurities discharging tube and a valve. The filtering apparatus is provided therein with a swiveling spray tube pivoted thereto. The swiveling spray tube is provided in the wall thereof with bevel through holes. The housing is provided therein with a high pressure guide tube which has an inner end aligned with an axial hole of the swiveling spray tube and further has an outer end that is connected with a source of a high pressure washing fluid so as to allow the high pressure washing fluid to be injected into the swiveling spray tube for washing away impurities deposited on the inner wall surface of the filtering apparatus.

Claims

1. A filtration device comprising:

a housing;

a filtering means tubular in shape and disposed in an interior of said housing such that said filtering means divides said interior of said housing into a first compartment and a second compartment;

a first guide tube fastened to said housing such that said first guide tube is in communication with said first compartment;

a second guide tube fastened to said housing such that said second guide tube is in communication with said second compartment;

an impurities discharging tube fastened to a bottom of said housing such that said discharging tube is in communication with said first compartment; and

a valve fastened to said discharging tube for controlling the opening and the closing of said discharging tube;

wherein said filtering means is provided therein centrally with a swiveling spray tube which is provided in a wall thereof with a predetermined number of bevel through holes and is fastened pivotally to a pivot on which said swiveling spray tube can be caused to rotate freely; and

wherein said housing is provided therein with a high pressure guide tube which has an inner end aligned with an axial hole of said swiveling spray tube and which further has an outer end connected with a source of a high pressure washing fluid so as to allow said high pressure washing fluid to be injected into said swiveling spray tube for washing away impurities deposited on an inner wall surface of said filtering means.

2. The filtration device according to claim 1 wherein said inner end of said high pressure guide tube is provided with a nozzle.

3. The filtration device according to claim 1 wherein said housing is provided in a lower portion of said interior thereof with a predetermined number of ribs, which are joined together at top ends thereof to form a tapered portion engageable with an annular tapered face of said swiveling spray tube.

4. The filtration device according to claim 1 wherein each of said bevel through holes of said swiveling spray tube forms a predetermined angle with a radius of said swiveling spray tube.

5. The filtration device according to claim 1 wherein each of said bevel through holes of said swiveling spray tube forms a predetermined angle with a horizontal surface of said swiveling spray tube.

6. The filtration device according to claim 1 wherein said swiveling spray tube is provided on a wall surface thereof with a predetermined number of scraping pieces for removing impurities deposited on said inner wall surface of said filtering means.

7. The filtration device according to claim 6 wherein said scraping pieces are of a short spiral construction having a winding direction corresponding to a rotating direction of said swiveling spray tube.
