Detailed Implementation

[0027] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside" in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its normal use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as a limitation on the term.

[0029] See Figure 1-4The air conditioning filter element processing equipment shown includes a transmission line 1 and a support platform 17 arranged in parallel on the transmission line 1 for positioning and placing a filter element cover plate 16. The filter element cover plate 16 is provided with a mesh groove 22 for filling activated carbon particles. A leakage box 2 matching the filter element cover plate 16 is provided above the transmission line 1. The middle part of the leakage box 2 is connected to a drive mechanism for driving the leakage box 2 to move vertically via a shaft 10. The bottom surface of the leakage box 2 is provided with a plurality of leakage holes 21 for the passage of activated carbon particles.

[0030] By implementing the above technical solution, when using the air conditioner filter element processing equipment, the carrier platform 17 carrying the filter element cover plate 16 is first transported to the lower part of the filter box 2 via the transmission line 1. Then, the filter box 2 is driven to a suitable position above the filter element cover plate 16 via the drive mechanism. Activated carbon particles are then added into the filter box 2 and fall into the mesh groove 22. After the activated carbon particles are filled, the transmission line 1 continues to move the filter element cover plate 16 to the lower part of the filter body gripping mechanism 13 and moves the gripped filter body 14 downward to engage it in the slot 23, completing the assembly. Then, activated carbon particles are filled into the next filter element cover plate 16, thereby realizing automatic continuous filling.

[0031] In this embodiment, a rectangular scraper 32 is embedded in the bottom side of the filter box 2. The rectangular scraper 32 is configured to move vertically along the bottom side of the filter box 2 and extend completely into the side wall of the filter box 2. The inner side of the rectangular scraper 32 is aligned with the inner side of the filter element cover 16. With the hanging plate, when switching to the next filter element cover 16 for filling with activated carbon particles, the hanging plate can scrape the surface of the previous filter element cover 16, scraping any loose activated carbon particles into the next filter element cover 16. It also acts as a barrier during the filling of activated carbon particles. When the filter box 2 rises, the rectangular scraper 32 can automatically fall under gravity, maintaining its position against the filter element cover 16.

[0032] In this embodiment, a first gear 6, capable of rotating relative to the shaft 10, is fitted onto the shaft 10. A vertical rod 5 is provided on the bottom side of the first gear 6, and a comb plate 20 is connected to the lower end of the vertical rod 5. With this arrangement, the rotation of the first gear 6 drives the comb plate 20 to rotate around the shaft 10. The sieve rod provided on the bottom side of the comb plate 20 can stir the activated carbon particles, improving the uniformity of the activated carbon particle distribution.

[0033] In this embodiment, a radially extending sliding hole 28 is provided on the bottom side of the first gear 6. A guide rod 27 is provided inside the sliding hole 28. The upper end of the vertical rod 5 is slidably disposed within the guide rod 27. A spring 29 is sleeved on the guide rod 27, with its two ends respectively connected to the inner end of the sliding hole 28 and the vertical rod 5. With this arrangement, when the outer side of the vertical rod 5 moves around the inner wall of the hopper 2, the spring 29 will be compressed to different degrees according to the distance from the wall, thereby mixing the activated carbon particles far away from the shaft 10 as much as possible.

[0034] In this embodiment, a limiting center hole 30 that mates with the shaft 10 is provided in the middle of the first gear 6. Through the engagement of the limiting center hole 30 with the shaft 10, the first gear 6 rotates while the shaft 10 remains stationary.

[0035] In this embodiment, to further provide a driving method for driving the first gear 6, a drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the hopper 2, and a second gear 11 that meshes with the first gear 6 is connected to the drive motor 12. The rotation of the drive motor 12 drives the second gear 11 to rotate, the rotation of the second gear 11 drives the first gear 6 to rotate, and in turn drives the drive motor 12 to rotate.

[0036] In this embodiment, a central hole is provided in the middle of the shaft 10, and a feeding funnel 9 is provided on the outer side of the shaft 10. An arc-shaped feed inlet is provided on the side wall of the shaft 10 at the bottom of the feeding funnel 9. Multiple downwardly extending feeding pipes 4, communicating with the central hole, are provided on the outer side of the shaft 10 at the bottom of the central hole. Multiple feeding ports 3 are provided on the bottom side of the feeding pipes 4. Activated carbon granules are metered down from the feeding nozzle 31 into the feeding funnel 9, then through the multiple arc-shaped feed inlets into the central hole, and finally through the central hole into the feeding ports 3 before being discharged.

[0037] In this embodiment, to further improve the uniformity of activated carbon particle distribution, a vibration unit 19 is installed below the transmission line 1 at the location of the filter box 2. The driving mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder 7, and a connecting frame 8 is connected to the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 7. The vibration unit 19 can be a cam vibrator, which drives the support platform 17 to vibrate, thereby driving the filter cover plate 16 to vibrate, thus causing the activated carbon particles that are higher than the surface of the filter cover plate 16 to fall to the lower position, achieving uniform distribution.

[0038] In this embodiment, a filter body gripping mechanism 13 is located above the transmission line 1 and behind the drain box 2. Multiple buckles 15 are provided on the bottom side of the filter body 14. Multiple slots 23 corresponding to the buckles 15 are provided on the upper side of the filter element cover 16. Locking openings 25 are provided on the outer side of each slot 23. Rubber sheets 24 are symmetrically arranged on the top of each slot 23, with a gap between two rubber sheets 24. A positioning groove 26 is provided on the bottom side of the filter element cover 16. The filter body gripping mechanism 13 clamps the filter body 14 with multiple circumferentially arranged grippers, then moves the filter body 14 downwards, causing the buckles 15 to engage in the slots 23, and the buckles 15 to lock within the locking openings 25. Filter paper is pre-installed on the filter body 14, providing dual filtration of the air conditioning intake air through the filter paper and activated carbon particles.

[0039] The filter body 14 has a first mesh surface on the side facing the filter element cover plate 16, and the filter element cover plate 16 has a second mesh surface on the side facing away from the filter body 14. When the filter body 14 and the filter element cover plate 16 are engaged, the activated carbon particles set in the mesh groove 22 are confined between the first mesh surface and the second mesh surface.

[0040] In addition, a positioning groove 26 is provided on the bottom side of the filter cover plate 16, and a positioning platform 18 that cooperates with the positioning groove 26 is provided on the top surface of the support platform 17. The width of the gap is smaller than that of the activated carbon particles, so as to prevent the spilled activated carbon particles from falling into the slot 23. In addition, when the buckle 15 is inserted into the slot 23, a seal can also be achieved by the rubber sheet 24.

[0041] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for processing an air conditioner filter element, which uses the aforementioned air conditioner filter element processing equipment and includes the following steps:

[0042] S1, the carrier platform 17 carrying the filter cover plate 16 is transferred to the bottom of the filter box 2 via the transmission line 1;

[0043] S2, the filter box 2 is driven by the drive mechanism to be placed at an appropriate position on the filter cover plate 16;

[0044] S3, put activated carbon granules into the leak box 2, and the activated carbon granules leak into the grid groove 22;

[0045] S4, the filter element cover plate 16 continues to move under the filter body gripping mechanism 13 via the transmission line 1, and the gripped filter body 14 is moved downward and locked into the slot 23, thus completing the assembly.
