Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pleated filter element production technology, specifically a fully automatic filter element welding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Pleated filter cartridges primarily use stainless steel wire mesh, sintered mesh, polypropylene, hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), hydrophilic PTFE, polyethersulfone, and nylon as filter materials. Key characteristics of pleated filter cartridges include high retention rate, high flow rate, low pressure differential, and broad chemical compatibility. The manufacturing process employs a unique hot-melt welding technique, eliminating the need for any adhesives and preventing the release of foreign matter. This meets the production requirements of industries such as food, beverage, beer, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. The production of pleated filter cartridges often requires the use of a filter cartridge welding machine.

[0003] However, the existing semi-automatic welding is relatively simple. The round part of the filter element end cap and the filter element barrel are placed into the corresponding mold by hand. Then, the cylinder is manually activated to press the product. Then, the cylinders on both sides drive the heating plate to melt the end face of the product. During welding, two people are required to operate the filter element end cap welding equipment and the filter element extension equipment respectively. This cannot fundamentally solve the problem of high labor intensity for workers. At the same time, the welding quality is affected by the degree of responsibility of the operators, and the production quality of folded filter elements cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a fully automatic filter element welding machine. This solves the problem mentioned in the background section: existing semi-automatic welding is relatively simple, requiring manual placement of the round filter element end cap and filter element barrel into the corresponding mold, followed by manual activation of a cylinder to press the product together. Then, two cylinders drive a heating plate to melt the product's end face. Welding requires two people to operate the filter element end cap welding equipment and the filter element extension equipment respectively, failing to fundamentally solve the problem of high labor intensity for workers. Furthermore, the welding quality is affected by the operator's level of responsibility, thus failing to guarantee the production quality of folded filter elements.
