         13 . The urinal according to  claim 12 , wherein water first enters the inlet valve, then passes through the filter element, and is finally sprayed out from the nozzle to clean the urinal bowl. 
     
     
         14 . The urinal according to  claim 13 , wherein the nozzle comprises a nozzle accommodation cavity, and
 wherein the filter element is disposed within the nozzle accommodation cavity.   
     
     
         15 . The urinal according to  claim 14 , wherein the nozzle further comprises a nozzle outlet configured to be connected to the nozzle accommodation cavity, and
 wherein the filter element outlet is oriented toward the nozzle outlet.   
     
     
         16 . The urinal according to  claim 11 , wherein the fixed bracket comprises a bracket accommodation cavity, and
 wherein the nozzle is disposed in the bracket accommodation cavity.   
     
     
         17 . The urinal according to  claim 16 , wherein the fixed bracket further comprises:
 an upper bracket pipe in fluid communication with the bracket accommodation cavity and disposed above the bracket accommodation cavity;   a first ball disposed in the upper bracket pipe; and   a first spring disposed in the upper bracket pipe, the first spring comprising:
 an upper end configured to press a top of the upper bracket pipe; and 
 a lower end configured to compress. 
   
     
     
         18 . The urinal according to  claim 17 , wherein the fixed bracket further comprises:
 a lower bracket pipe in fluid communication with the bracket accommodation cavity;   a second ball disposed in the lower bracket pipe; and   a second spring disposed in the lower bracket pipe, the second spring comprising:
 a lower end of the second spring configured to press a bottom of the lower bracket pipe; and 
 an upper end configured to compress the second ball. 
   
     
     
         19 . The urinal according to  claim 11 , wherein a filter element outlet of the filter element is detachably connected to a valve inlet of the inlet valve,
 wherein a valve outlet of the inlet valve is configured to be connected to an inlet end of the first water pipe, and   wherein the nozzle is configured to be connected to an outlet end of the first water pipe.   
     
     
         20 . The urinal according to  claim 19 , wherein water first passes through the filter element, then enters the inlet valve, and is finally sprayed out from the nozzle to clean the urinal bowl. 
     
     
         21 . The urinal according to  claim 11 , wherein a valve outlet of the inlet valve is detachably connected to a filter element inlet of the filter element,
 wherein a filter element outlet of the filter element is configured to be connected to an inlet end of the first water pipe, and   the nozzle is configured to be connected to an outlet end of the first water pipe.   
     
     
         22 . The urinal according to  claim 21 , wherein water first enters the inlet valve, then passes through the filter element, and is finally sprayed out from the nozzle to clean the urinal bowl. 
     
     
         23 . The urinal according to  claim 11 , wherein a valve outlet of the inlet valve is connected to a filter element inlet of the filter element through a second water pipe,
 wherein a filter element outlet of the filter element is configured to be connected to an inlet end of the first water pipe, and   wherein the nozzle is configured to be connected to an outlet end of the first water pipe.   
     
     
         24 . The urinal according to  claim 23 , wherein water first enters the inlet valve, then passes through the filter element, and is finally sprayed out from the nozzle to clean the urinal bowl. 
     
     
         25 . The urinal according to  claim 24 , further comprising:
 a filter element bracket fixedly connected to the urinal bowl,   wherein the filter element is detachably connected to the filter element bracket.   
     
     
         26 . The urinal according to  claim 25 , further comprising a filter element handle disposed at an end portion of the filter element. 
     
     
         27 . The urinal according to  claim 11 , wherein the filter element comprises:
