Abstract:
1. A filtration device, comprising: a water current selector, which is configured by a water current selector main body that has, on an outer wall surface thereof, a tap water inlet receiving a flow of tap water, first and second tap water passage ports, first and second purified water passage ports, a purified water outlet, and a drain water outlet, and a valve that is pivotally fitted in a hollow formed in the water current selector main body; a first filter that has a first tap water pipe and a first purified water pipe connected to the first tap water passage port and the first purified water passage port, respectively; and a second filter that has a second tap water pipe and a second purified water pipe connected to the second tap water passage port and the second purified water passage port, respectively, wherein: when the valve is in a pivot position corresponding to a water purification mode, the tap water inlet is in communication with the first and second tap water passage ports, and the first and second purified water passage ports are in communication with the purified water outlet, so that tap water is filtered by the first and second filters and the resultant purified water flows out of the purified water outlet to the outside; when the valve is in a pivot position corresponding to a first backwashing mode, while the tap water inlet is in communication with the second tap water passage port and the drain water outlet is in communication with the first tap water passage port, a portion of an outer circumference of the valve is positioned to completely block the first and second purified water passage ports from all communication with the purified water outlet, so that tap water is filtered by the second filter, and the resultant purified water flows backward through the first filter and is discharged as drain water from the drain water outlet; and when the valve is in a pivot position corresponding to a second backwashing mode, while the tap water inlet is in communication with the first tap water passage port and the drain water outlet is in communication with the second tap water passage port, a portion of the outer circumference of the valve is positioned to completely block the first and second purified water passage ports from all communication with the purified water outlet, so that tap water is filtered by the first filter, and the resultant purified water flows backward through the second filter and is discharged as drain water from the drain water outlet.
