The water intake thimble 21 is rotated by the connector core 12, a thimble is lifted and fell through a water inlet boss 3-21 and the groove and by the action of the water intake spring 23, the water outtake thimble sleeve, a water outtake thimble sealing ring 20, and a water outtake thimble 22 and a water outtake spring 24 are located in a cavity of the water outtake thimble 22, and the water outtake thimble 22 is rotated by the connector core 12, the thimble is lifted and fell through a water outtake boss 3-22 and the groove and by the action of the water outtake spring 24, so that a water passage is opened and closed.
The connector core 12 of the present invention has the groove and the boss thereon, and the connector core 12, the water intake thimble and the water outtake thimble 22 are tightly pressed by the spring, when the connector 3 is rotated, the thimbles of a water inlet and a water outlet 2-2 are raised from the position of the groove to the position of the boss so that the water passage is opened for filtration.
The description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can also make several improvements without departing from the principles of the present invention, which are in the scope of protection of the present invention.
