Abstract

This invention discloses a fluid filter and its manufacturing method. A front seat is located inside one end of the outer casing, and a rear seat is located inside the other end. A connecting pipe is provided between the front and rear seats, and filter paper is fitted around the outer ring of the connecting pipe. A limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the front seat on the opposite side of the connecting pipe, and a movable rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove. This invention has the following advantages: When the engine is running, engine oil pushes a silicone ring through the oil inlet, which in turn pushes a mounting ring. The mounting ring then pushes the movable rod to compress a first spring, facilitating the entry of engine oil into the filter. When the engine stops running, the mounting ring is pushed by the spring force of the first spring, which in turn pushes the silicone ring to seal the oil inlet, thus preventing oil backflow. This effectively avoids the situation where the sealing effect is reduced due to prolonged use of silicone or rubber check valves.
