Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0026] This invention discloses an automotive air filter, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, with a cover plate 2 for sealing on the top surface of the housing 1. An air inlet pipe 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the housing 1, and an air outlet pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the other side of the outer surface of the housing 1. Air can enter the interior of the housing 1 through the air inlet pipe 3, and the filtered air can be discharged outside the housing 1 through the air outlet pipe 4.
[0027] Two first slide grooves 213 are fixedly installed on one side of the interior of housing 1, and two second slide grooves 214 are fixedly installed on the other side of the interior of housing 1. A first filter element 210 is movably connected between the two first slide grooves 213, and a second filter element 211 is movably connected between the two second slide grooves 214. This facilitates the replacement of the first filter element 210 and the second filter element 211. Both the first filter element 210 and the second filter element 211 are made of existing air-filtering materials, thus enabling the filtration of air entering housing 1.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a first threaded rod 201 is movably connected to one side of the top surface of the cover plate 2. A first brush plate 202 is provided at one end of the first threaded rod 201. When the operator rotates the first threaded rod 201, the first brush plate 202 can be pushed down, and the first brush plate 202 can clean the first filter element 210.
[0029] A cleaning rod 203 is movably connected to one side of the top surface of the cover plate 2. A pressure plate 206 is fixedly installed at one end of the cleaning rod 203, and a second brush plate 204 is fixedly installed at the other end of the cleaning rod 203. A first spring 205 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 206, and the first spring 205 is fixedly connected to the outer top surface of the cover plate 2. When the operator presses the pressure plate 206, the cleaning rod 203 can be pushed to drive the second brush plate 204 to descend, and the second brush plate 204 can then contact the second filter element 211 to clean the second filter element 211. The spring elasticity can then reset the pressure plate 206.
[0030] Two mounting plates 207 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer surface of the cover plate 2, and a connecting plate 212 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the cover plate 2.
[0031] Furthermore, two mounting holes 208 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the housing 1. Mounting bolts 209 are movably connected inside the four mounting holes 208. One side of each of the four mounting plates 207 is provided with an opening. When the cover plate 2 contacts the housing 1, the opening of the mounting plate 207 will coincide with the four mounting holes 208. Then, the mounting bolts 209 are inserted into them, so that the cover plate 2 can be connected to the housing 1. A drive box 215 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the housing 1.
[0032] Following the above practical examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, an installation sleeve 2021 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the first brush plate 202. A bearing 2022 is fixedly installed inside the installation sleeve 2021, and the bearing 2022 is fixedly connected to the first threaded rod 201. Due to the special characteristics of the bearing 2022, the first brush plate 202 will not rotate with the rotation of the first threaded rod 201.
[0033] It should be noted that brush bristles are fixedly installed on both sides of the first brush plate 202 and the second brush plate 204.
[0034] And such Figure 4 As shown, the top surface of the housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove 101, and the inner bottom surface of the housing 1 is provided with a driving groove 111 on the side near the air outlet pipe 4. Both sides of the driving groove 111 are provided with moving grooves 102. Slide rods 103 are fixedly installed inside the two moving grooves 102. The outer surfaces of the two slide rods 103 are movably connected to a first collection box 105. The first collection box 105 can slide on the outer surfaces of the two slide rods 103.
[0035] A second threaded rod 104 is movably mounted on the bottom surface of the drive groove 111, and the first collection box 105 is movably connected to the second threaded rod 104. When the second threaded rod 104 rotates, it can drive the first collection box 105 to move. The first collection box 105 is used to collect the cleaned impurities. By rotating the second threaded rod 104, the first collection box 105 is moved to the outside of the housing 1, which makes it easier for the staff to clean the impurities collected by the first collection box 105. Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the first collection box 105. When the first collection box 105 is located inside the housing 1, the baffle can block the opening on one side of the housing 1 for the movement of the first collection box 105. The second threaded rod 104 is movably connected to the drive box 215.
[0036] Following the above practical examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, a rotating rod 2151 is movably mounted on one side of the drive box 215. A horizontal bevel gear 2152 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod 2151, and a vertical bevel gear 2153 is fixedly mounted on one end of the second threaded rod 104. The vertical bevel gear 2153 meshes with the horizontal bevel gear 2152. When the operator rotates the rotating rod 2151, the horizontal bevel gear 2152 drives the vertical bevel gear 2153 to rotate, which in turn causes the second threaded rod 104 to rotate, so that the first collection box 105 can move.
[0037] It should be noted that a handle is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating rod 2151 away from the horizontal bevel gear 2152. When the operator rotates the handle, the rotating rod 2151 can be rotated.
[0038] And such Figure 6As shown, a fixing box 106 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the housing 1. Two second springs 107 are fixedly installed inside the fixing box 106. A support plate 108 is fixedly installed on the end of the two second springs 107 away from the fixing box 106. When the support plate 108 moves, it can squeeze or stretch the two second springs 107. A second collection box 109 is provided on one side of the inside of the housing 1. The second collection box 109 is in contact with the support plate 108. A sealing groove 110 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the housing 1.
[0039] Following the above practical examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, a sealing plate 1101 is movably installed on one side of the inner side of the sealing groove 110, and a connecting bolt 1103 is movably installed on one side of the sealing plate 1101. A threaded hole 1102 is provided on one side of the inner side of the sealing groove 110. By inserting the connecting bolt 1103 into the threaded hole 1102, the sealing plate 1101 can prevent the second collection box 109 from popping out of the housing 1 due to the elasticity of the second spring 107.
[0040] In this practical example, when the second collection box 109 is needed, the operator pushes the second collection box 109, causing it to push the support plate 108, which in turn compresses the two second springs 107 until the second collection box 109 is fully inserted into the housing 1. Then, the sealing plate 1101 and the rotating connecting bolt 1103 are rotated, so that the connecting bolt 1103 is inserted into the threaded hole 1102. This prevents the second collection box 109 from popping out of the housing 1 due to the elasticity of the second springs 107. When it is necessary to clean the impurities in the second collection box 109, the operator pulls the connecting bolt 1103 out of the threaded hole 1102 and rotates the sealing plate 1101. Then, through the elasticity of the second springs 107, the support plate 108 is pushed to pop the second collection box 109 out of the housing 1, so that the operator can remove the second collection box 109 for cleaning the collected impurities.
[0041] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, the operator connects the air inlet pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 4 to the external components. Then, air enters the housing 1 through the air inlet pipe 3. The air first contacts the second filter element 211, which performs preliminary filtration. The pre-filtered air then contacts the first filter element 210, which performs secondary filtration. The air after two filtrations then enters the external components connected to the air outlet pipe 4. After prolonged use, the operator presses the pressure plate 206. The cleaning rod 203 pushes the second brush plate 204 down, allowing the second brush plate 204 to contact the second filter element 211 and clean the impurities clogging it. The cleaned impurities fall into the second collection box 109. Alternatively, the operator can rotate the first threaded rod 201, which pushes the first brush plate 202 down, allowing it to contact the first filter element 210 and clean the impurities clogging it. The cleaned impurities then fall into the first collection box 109. 5. Then, the operator rotates the connecting bolt 1103 to pull it out of the threaded hole 1102, then rotates the sealing plate 1101. The elasticity of the two second springs 107 then ejects the second collection box 109 from the housing 1. The operator can then treat the impurities in the second collection box 109 by air intake. After treatment, the operator reinserts the second collection box 109 into the housing 1, causing it to push the support plate 108 to compress the two second springs 107. The connecting bolt 1103 is then reinserted into the threaded hole 1102. Furthermore, the operator rotates the rotating rod 2151 to make the horizontal bevel gear 2152 drive the vertical bevel gear 2153 to rotate, which in turn makes the second threaded rod 104 rotate. When the second threaded rod 104 rotates, it can drive the first collection box 105 to move until the first collection box 105 moves to the outside of the housing 1, so that the impurities in the first collection box 105 can be cleaned. After cleaning, the operator rotates the rotating rod 2151 again to make the second threaded rod 104 rotate again, so that the first collection box 105 can be driven back into the housing 1.
[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
