[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a refrigerant-filling filter, including a cylindrical shell 1, with a mounting base 2 inside the cylindrical shell 1. The cylindrical shell 1 is made of a high-strength corrosion-resistant material, such as stainless steel, to ensure that it will not be corroded or damaged under the long-term action of the refrigerant, thus ensuring the service life of the filter. The mounting base 2 has an internal thread 3 on its inner side. The cylindrical shell 1 has a filter element 4 inside, and a docking seat 5 is provided around the filter element 4. The filter element 4 uses a high-precision filter material, such as sintered metal mesh or polymer fiber filter material, which can effectively filter out impurity particles in the refrigerant, greatly improving the purity of the refrigerant. The docking seat 5 has an external thread that matches the internal thread 3 on its outer side. A first end cap 6 is provided on the left side of the cylindrical shell 1, and a first sealing rubber gasket 7 is provided between the first end cap 6 and the cylindrical shell 1.
[0025] The first end cap 6 and the cylindrical outer shell 1 are fixedly connected by the first fixing screw 8. The right side of the cylindrical outer shell 1 is provided with the second end cap 9. The cylindrical outer shell 1 and the second end cap 9 are provided with the second sealing rubber gasket 10. The cylindrical outer shell 1 and the second end cap 9 are fixedly connected by the second fixing screw 11. When the refrigeration system is running, the refrigerant containing impurities enters the filter through the liquid inlet pipe 12. The refrigerant first contacts the filter element 4. Since the filter element 4 uses high-precision filter material, it can effectively intercept impurities such as metal debris and dust particles in the refrigerant. The pure refrigerant after filtration enters the refrigeration system through the liquid outlet pipe 15, and returns to the refrigeration system for circulation through the pipeline connected by the second connecting flange 16 and the second mounting bolt 17.
[0026] The first end cap 6 has an inlet pipe 12 on its left side, a first connecting flange 13 on its left side, and a first mounting bolt 14 on its right side. The second end cap 9 has an outlet pipe 15 on its right side, a second connecting flange 16 on its right side, and a second mounting bolt 17 on its left side. The cylindrical outer shell 1 has a transparent observation window 18. During the operation of the filter, the operator can observe the flow of the refrigerant and the accumulation of impurities on the filter element surface through the transparent observation window 18. When it is found that a lot of impurities have accumulated and affected the filtration effect, the refrigeration system can be stopped, the first fixing screw 8 and the second fixing screw 11 can be unscrewed, and the first end cap 6 and the second end cap 9 can be removed respectively. Then, by rotating the mating seat 5 of the filter element 4, it can be unscrewed from the internal thread 3 of the mounting seat 2 and a new filter element can be replaced. After the replacement is completed, the end caps and other parts can be installed in reverse order and the filter can be put back into use.
[0027] Working principle: When the refrigeration system is running, the refrigerant containing impurities enters the filter through the liquid inlet pipe 12. The refrigerant first contacts the filter element 4. Since the filter element 4 uses high-precision filter material, it can effectively intercept impurities such as metal debris and dust particles in the refrigerant. The filtered pure refrigerant returns to the refrigeration system for circulation through the liquid outlet pipe 15, the pipeline connected by the second connecting flange 16 and the second mounting bolt 17. During the operation of the filter, the operator can observe the flow state of the internal refrigerant and the accumulation of impurities on the surface of the filter element through the transparent observation window 18. When it is found that a lot of impurities have accumulated and affected the filtration effect, the refrigeration system can be stopped, the first fixing screw 8 and the second fixing screw 11 can be unscrewed, the first end cover 6 and the second end cover 9 can be removed respectively, and then the filter element 4 can be unscrewed from the internal thread 3 of the mounting base 2 by rotating the mating seat 5. A new filter element can be replaced. After the replacement is completed, the end cover and other parts can be installed in reverse order and put back into use.
