Description

[0003] At present, large power equipment is basically applied in coastal areas and petrochemical industrial parks, which have the characteristics of high humidity, high oil mist and salt mist concentration, and high dust content. The traditional air filter element basically adopts paper-based materials, which is generally only used for filtering dust impurities in the air, and has poor adaptability to high humidity and high oil mist environment. The oil mist droplets and dust are quickly formed into an oil sludge layer on the surface of the filter element. Because the oil sludge layer is tightly wrapped on the surface of the filter element, the resistance of the filter element quickly rises, and the service life is greatly reduced. At the same time, under high resistance, the filter element has the risk of damage and failure, and the oil mist molecules and dust impurities may enter the downstream and adhere to the blades of the power equipment, causing blade corrosion, wear and fouling after long-term use, resulting in a decrease in the output efficiency of the power equipment, and even the fracture of the blades, which makes the traditional air filter element difficult to be applied to air filtration in high humidity and high oil pollution environment, and needs to be improved.

[0042] The present application is further described below in combination with the drawings and examples. Figures 1-8 The present application is further described below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0043] The present application discloses a combined air filter element main body. Referring to Figures 1-3 , the combined air filter element main body comprises a frame body and a cylindrical filter element main body structure. The filter element main body structure comprises a filter assembly 2, a gas-liquid separation assembly 3, an upper end cover 4 and a lower end cover 5; the gas-liquid separation assembly 3 is sleeved outside the filter assembly 2, and the upper end cover 4 and the lower end cover 5 are fixedly covered at the upper and lower ends of the whole formed by the gas-liquid separation assembly 3 and the filter assembly 2. In the present air filter element main body, the gas-liquid separation assembly 3 is used for filtering air, the filter assembly 2 is used for re-filtering the air filtered by the gas-liquid separation assembly 3, and the upper end cover 4 has a relief hole capable of allowing the filtered air outside the filter assembly 2 to pass. The frame body not only connects the upper end cover 4 and the lower end cover 5, but also forms a self-cleaning channel leading to the filter assembly 2 with the upper end cover 4 and the gas-liquid separation assembly 3, and the self-cleaning channel is used for allowing the cleaning medium to clean the gas-liquid separation assembly 3 and the filter assembly 2. The lower end cover 5 is provided with a liquid discharge groove, and the liquid collected by filtering and cleaning in the filter assembly 2 and the gas-liquid separation assembly 3 is gathered in the direction of the lower end cover 5 and then discharged through the liquid discharge groove.

[0044] Further, as shown in Figures 2-5 , in the present embodiment, the gas-liquid separation assembly 3 is in a cylindrical shape, specifically comprising a gas-liquid separation sheet 3-1, a coalescence mesh layer 3-2 and a porous support frame 3-3; the gas-liquid separation sheet 3-1, the coalescence mesh layer 3-2 and the porous support frame 3-3 are arranged from outside to inside in sequence, and are respectively fixedly connected or abuttingly connected with the upper end cover 4 and the lower end cover 5.

[0045] Among them, as shown in Figure 5As shown, multiple gas-liquid separators 3-1 are distributed circumferentially along the filter assembly 2 to intercept and filter impurities in the air; the coalescing mesh layer 3-2 is used to coalesce and retain impurities in the air that has been initially filtered by the gas-liquid separators 3-1; and the porous support frame 3-3 is used to support the coalescing mesh layer 3-2.

Larger droplets and dust particles are intercepted and filtered by the Y-shaped teeth 8. The airflow then enters the coalescing mesh layer 3-2, where small droplets gradually coalesce into larger droplets. Under the influence of gravity, the droplets gathered at the Y-shaped teeth 8 and the coalescing mesh layer 3-2 fall axially into the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 3, and are finally discharged through the drain trough on the outer edge of the lower cover 6. The air flowing out of the coalescing mesh layer 3-2 contains only small droplets and dust particles, which will be filtered by the filter assembly 2 to ensure the cleanliness of the final downstream air.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the filter assembly 2 is constrained between the upper end cover 4 and the lower end cover 5, and includes multiple spindle-shaped elastic filter units for filtering air, which are connected in series along the axial direction.

[0049] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the elastic filter unit are connected. The elastic filter unit includes a compressible elastic skeleton and an elastic filter layer 2-1 laid on the circumferential surface of the elastic skeleton.

[0054] Further, in order to improve the structural stability of the combined air filter core body, in the embodiment, the frame body comprises a support rod 1-2 and branch rods. The upper end of the support rod 1-2 is fixed to the upper end cover 4 through the branch rods, and the plurality of branch rods on the support rod 1-2 are preferably evenly distributed along the radial direction of the filter core body. The lower end of the support rod 1-2 is provided with a limiting piece, which can be adjusted in displacement along the axial direction of the support rod 1-2, and is used for adjusting the axial deformation degree of the filter assembly 2. In the embodiment, the limiting piece compresses the filter assembly 2 by abutting against the cover 6. At this time, the abutted cover 6 also presses and fixes the lower end cover 5 through the elastic pad layer, so that the entire filter body remains stable.

[0055] The limiting piece can be a latch, a nut, a threaded sleeve or the like. As preferred, the limiting piece in the embodiment is selected as a nut 7, and the lower end of the support rod 1-2 is provided with a threaded structure. The nut 7 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the support rod 1-2.

[0061] With the continuous use of the air filter element, when the operating resistance reaches a set value, the gas-liquid separation assembly 3 and the filter assembly 2 should be maintained in a self-cleaning manner in time. One implementation method is as follows:

[0062] A high-temperature gas flow is delivered to the main pipe 1-1, the high-temperature gas flow flows into the first chamber 20 in the upper end cover 4 through the branches on the upper end of the branch rod 1-2, the high-temperature gas flow passes through the first channels 10 of each gas-liquid separation sheet 3-1 communicating with the first chamber 20, and finally is sprayed out through the through holes axially arranged on the inner side of each gas-liquid separation sheet 3-1, the high-temperature gas flow heats the gas-liquid separation sheet 3-1 and the downstream coalescing mesh layer 3-2, dilutes and softens the oil mist particles remaining in the gas-liquid separation sheet 3-1 and the coalescing mesh layer 3-2, and makes the oil mist particles fall into the bottom for discharge, thereby realizing self-cleaning maintenance of the gas-liquid separation assembly 3; at the same time, the high-temperature gas flows into each shuttle-shaped filter element of the filter assembly 2 to heat the elastic filter layer 2-1 and clean the surface oil mist and solid particles, thereby realizing the self-cleaning function and starting the unit for operation. When the pollutant particles on the surface of the shuttle-shaped filter element penetrate into the inside of the filter layer and cannot be cleaned, a brand-new filter element should be replaced in time.
