[0018] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 The present invention discloses a magnetic filtering structure for removing metal iron filings, comprising an outer sleeve 1, an inner sleeve 2, an end cover 3, and a filter element 4 having a permanent magnet 41 and a core shaft 42. The outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2 are both structures with one end open and the other end closed, the open end of the outer sleeve 1 is fixed to the end cover 3, the inner sleeve 2 is inserted into the outer sleeve 1, and the open end of the inner sleeve 2 extends outside the outer sleeve 1.
[0020] The core shaft 42 of the filter element 4 is inserted into the inner sleeve 2, and a plurality of permanent magnets 41 are fixed on the core shaft 42 at intervals. One end of the filter element 4 extends out of the inner sleeve 2 and closes the open end of the inner sleeve 2. Slots 10 are provided on the outer walls of the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2. The filter element 4 is rotated and the inner sleeve is driven to rotate synchronously. When the slots on the inner sleeve 2 and the slots on the outer sleeve are connected, the lubricating oil enters the inner sleeve 2 through the slots, and the metal impurities in the lubricating oil that can be magnetically attracted are adsorbed by the permanent magnets 41.
[0021] A threaded portion 32 is provided on the inner end surface of the end cover 3. When in use, the threaded portion 32 of the end cover 3 is threadedly connected with a hole reserved on the gear box, the outer sleeve 1 and the end cover 3 are fixed together and remain stationary, and the inner sleeve 2 can be rotated in the axial direction by external force.
[0022] In order to ensure that the lubricating oil flows out from the opening of the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2, the opening of the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2 needs to be well sealed. A boss portion 31 is provided on the inner hole wall of the end cover 3, and flange surfaces are provided at the opening ends of the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2. The flange surface of the outer sleeve 1 and the flange surface of the inner sleeve 2 are placed on both sides of the boss portion, and the flange surface of the outer sleeve 1 is fixed to the boss portion of the end cover 3 by bolts, and a sealing ring is provided between the two to ensure sealing.
[0023] A sealing cover 43 is fixed on the core shaft 42, and the sealing cover 43 is fixed to the flange surface of the inner sleeve body 2 by bolts, and a sealing ring is arranged between the two to ensure sealing. In order to facilitate the rotation of the filter element 4, a rotating handle is arranged on the outer end surface of the sealing cover 43.
[0024] When in use, the end cover 3 is fixed to the gear box, the outer sleeve 1 and the inner sleeve 2 are extended into the gear box, and the filter element 4 is rotated first so that the slots 10 on the inner sleeve 2 and the slots 10 on the outer sleeve 1 are staggered with each other, and the lubricating oil in the gear box cannot enter the inner sleeve 2 (during assembly, the outer wall surface of the inner sleeve 2 and the inner wall surface of the outer sleeve 1 are in contact to ensure the sealing effect of the joint). When the two slots 10 are connected to each other, the lubricating oil enters the inner sleeve 2, and the metal impurities (mainly iron filings) in the lubricating oil that can be magnetically attracted are adsorbed by the permanent magnet 41, thereby removing the iron filings from the lubricating oil.
[0025] After using for a period of time, when the filter element needs to be cleaned, the filter element 4 is rotated to stagger the two slots 10. At this time, the inner and outer shells are closed to form a closed cavity, and the end cover 3 is loosened and pulled out as a whole.
[0026] After the inner and outer housings are closed to form a closed cavity, lubricating oil will remain in the inner cavity of the inner housing 2. If this lubricating oil is not drained, when the filter element is withdrawn as a whole, the lubricating oil will be carried out together, which will greatly reduce the amount of lubricating oil in the gearbox. At this time, it is necessary to pour out the lubricating oil in the filter element outside and then pour it into the gearbox, and the process is rather cumbersome. Therefore, the present invention provides a "plunger extrusion" structure to extrude the lubricating oil in the filter element and then pull out the filter element as a whole. The specific structure of the "plunger extrusion" is as follows.
[0027] The filter element 4 includes a first piston 44, a second piston 45, a spring 46 and a push rod 47. A first piston 44 and several second pistons 45 are sleeved on the core shaft 42 at intervals, and the first piston 44 is placed outside the second piston 45 and close to the open end of the inner housing 2. Both the first piston and the second piston are in contact with the inner wall surface of the inner housing 2, and several through holes are provided axially on the second piston 45.
[0028] Several springs 46 are sleeved on the core shaft 42. One end of each spring 46 abuts against the corresponding side permanent magnet 41, and the other end abuts against the corresponding side first piston 44 or second piston 45. The push rod 47 axially penetrates the first piston 44 and the second piston 45 along the core shaft 42, and the inner end of the push rod 47 abuts against the second piston 45 at the end, and the outer end extends out of the inner housing 2.
[0029] Since both the first piston 44 and the second piston 45 are in a floating state (i.e., subject to the spring force in the axial direction), in order to realize the axial limit of the first piston 44 and the second piston 45, several steps 471 are arranged at intervals on the push rod 47, and step holes are provided on both the first piston 44 and the second piston 45. The spring 46 abuts against the corresponding first piston 44 and second piston 45, so that the step surfaces of the step holes on the first piston 44 and the second piston 45 abut against each step 471 at the corresponding position on the push rod 47.
[0030] To realize the axial positioning of the push rod 47, a limit platform 472 is also provided on the push rod 47. Under the action of the spring force, the first piston 44 and the second piston 45 react on the push rod 47, so that the limit platform 472 abuts against the inner end surface of the sealing cover 43.
[0031] After the inner and outer housings are closed to form a closed cavity, when it is necessary to drain the lubricating oil in the inner housing 2, the push rod 47 is axially pushed. The push rod drives the first piston 44 and the second piston 45 to move. The lubricating oil between the first piston 44 and the second piston 45, and between adjacent second pistons 45 is extruded and flows through the through holes on the second piston 45. Liquid discharge holes 11 are provided on the closed surfaces of the outer housing 1 and the inner housing 2. Finally, the lubricating oil flows back into the gearbox through the liquid discharge holes 11.
[0032] The first piston 44, the second piston 45, and the permanent magnet 41 are all provided with stepped holes having large hole portions and small hole portions, and both ends of the spring 46 abut against the corresponding stepped holes. The arrangement of the stepped holes can better position the spring.
[0033] The diameters of the large hole portions of the stepped holes in the first piston 44 and the second piston 45 are both larger than the diameter of the permanent magnet 41. When the first piston 44 and the second piston 45 move axially, contact with the outer wall surface of the permanent magnet 41 can be avoided, so that iron filings adsorbed on the outer wall surface of the permanent magnet 41 can be prevented from being scraped.
[0034] After the lubricating oil is extruded, the discharge filter element can be cleaned of iron filings, which can prevent a large amount of lubricating oil from remaining in the inner sleeve body and make its use more convenient.
[0035] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
