[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] Referring to Figures 1-6 , the lubricating oil filter proposed in the present application includes a filter device body 1 and a conversion chamber 2, wherein the filter device body includes:
[0035] A controller 11 realizes the automatic filtration function and reduces the working intensity of solution filtration. The controller automatically controls the filtration process through programming and sensor feedback, including starting and stopping the rotation of the driving motor 12, monitoring the oil level and pressure of the filter 13, etc.;
[0036] The filter 13 is installed on the fixing bracket 15, ensuring the stability and sealing of the filtering device, thus solving the problem of liquid leakage that may occur during the lubricating oil filtering process; the fixing bracket 15 provides a firm support, keeping the filter stable during operation;
[0037] The rotary drive motor 12 is installed on the top of the filter 13 and drives the rotary mechanism inside the filter through a shaft connection, ensuring that the lubricating oil is fully stirred and filtered during the filtering process; the inlet pipe 14 is installed on the side of the filter 13 for guiding the lubricating oil into the filter 13; the lubricating oil enters the filter through the inlet pipe 14 for filtering operation; this design ensures that the lubricating oil can effectively enter the filtering system without the need for an additional pumping device;
[0038] A drain pipe 16 is provided below the filter 13, and the drain pipe 16 is connected to the cavity inside the filter 13; after the filtering is completed, the lubricating oil in the filter is discharged through the drain pipe 16; a valve is provided on the drain pipe 16 to control the discharge time and flow rate of the lubricating oil, thereby improving the filtering effect and the convenience of operation; a monitor 20 is provided at the upper end of the filter 13, and the monitor connects the internal cavity of the filter 13 with the outside world, enabling the pressure inside the filter to be balanced and preventing the vacuum effect from affecting the filtering effect; the monitor 20 is also connected to the second gear pump 19, and the monitor 20 can monitor the state of the lubricating oil in the filter at any time to ensure the smooth progress of the filtering process;
[0039] The drain pipe 16 is connected to the first gear pump 18 through a connector 17, and the connector ensures that the lubricating oil can flow smoothly from the filter to the first gear pump 18; the first gear pump 18 discharges the filtered lubricating oil residue to the conversion bin 2 through its rotating function; such a design not only improves the filtering efficiency but also facilitates the treatment of the filtered residue; the second gear pump 19 is connected to the monitor 20, and by pumping and monitoring the state of the lubricating oil in the monitor, it ensures that the lubricating oil in the filter 13 is always in the best state during the filtering process; this design can provide real-time feedback on the filtering situation of the lubricating oil and timely adjust the filtering parameters to ensure the filtering effect.
[0040] So far, through the design and connection of each component of the device of the present invention, an efficient and automated lubricating oil filtering process has been achieved, significantly improving the filtering effect and the convenience of operation.
[0041] To realize the intelligence and digitization of the usage method of the lubricating oil filter, we can take the following coherent steps:
[0042] First of all, intelligent diagnosis becomes the key. The oil quality monitoring sensor is used to analyze the lubricating oil in real time, remotely monitor the device status through the Internet of Things technology, and predict the filter replacement time; this not only improves the efficiency but also ensures that the device operates in the best state;
[0043] Next, predictive maintenance uses big data and machine learning algorithms to analyze historical maintenance records, automatically predict and remind of maintenance requirements, and achieve early warnings before reaching the critical pollution level;
[0044] In the automated disassembly stage, a robotic arm equipped with a vision recognition system is used to precisely disassemble the old filter, reducing manual operation and pollution risks;
[0045] Subsequently, during the intelligent installation process, sensor feedback is used to ensure the correct installation of the new filter, and machine learning algorithms are used to optimize the installation process;
[0046] In the intelligent exhaust and filling stage, the automated system will exhaust the oil circuit to ensure no air residue, and at the same time, intelligently control the lubricating oil filling volume;
[0047] When the equipment starts, intelligent start and adaptive adjustment will automatically adjust the lubricating oil supply, adaptively adjust the oil pressure and flow according to real-time data; real-time monitoring and remote diagnosis are achieved through an embedded system, and the cloud platform collects data for in-depth analysis and fault troubleshooting; intelligent maintenance and optimization use artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze the filter usage data and optimize the maintenance cycle and process;
[0048] In the intelligent waste treatment link, an intelligent waste sorting and recycling system is used to automatically process the used filters and lubricating oil to ensure environmental protection compliance;
[0049] Finally, intelligent reporting and feedback automatically generate maintenance and replacement reports, provide detailed performance data and analysis results, and at the same time collect user feedback to continuously optimize the product and process;
[0050] Through these steps above, the usage method of the lubricating oil filter will become more intelligent and digital, improving maintenance efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
