[0038] The following combination Figures 1-8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0039] This application discloses an adaptive variable air volume air filter, which is mainly used in the flour production process.

[0040] Most existing air filters use a fixed filter screen 60 structure. In this case, dust will accumulate on the surface of the filter screen 60 as the equipment moves, causing the filter holes to become clogged. This is especially true for light dust such as flour, which easily clogs the filter holes. When the filter holes are clogged, the filter screen 60 needs to be disassembled and maintained. Although some equipment can extend the replacement cycle of the filter screen 60, the extension is not ideal, resulting in a mismatch between the replacement cycle and the filter screen 60's maximum service life, leading to waste of the filter screen 60.

[0041] Secondly, existing air filters have a fixed air inlet 10 when filtering air, which results in a fixed amount of air purified per unit area of ​​the entire air filter. It is impossible to change the air flow rate for adaptive adjustment, thus resulting in a single filtration efficiency for the entire air filter.

[0042] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an adaptive variable air volume air filter is characterized by: including a filter box 1, a filter sleeve 2 rotatably installed in the middle of the filter box 1, and a plurality of lateral rotating shafts 3 installed in the filter box 1 and in the circumferential direction on the outer side wall of the filter sleeve 2. An annular limiting groove for the rotation of the lateral rotating shafts 3 is opened on the inner wall of the filter box 1, and a cleaning sleeve 4 is installed on the lateral rotating shaft 3.

[0043] The filter box 1 is symmetrically provided with an air inlet 10 and an air outlet 11 along its length.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the filter includes a filter box 1, which is a rectangular hollow structure made of 304 stainless steel. It has an air inlet 10 and an air outlet 11 symmetrically opened along its length. Air enters through the air inlet 10, and after multi-stage treatment, it is discharged from the air outlet 11.

[0045] The core component of the filter box 1 is the filter sleeve 2: vertically installed in the middle of the filter box 1, it is rotatably connected to the filter box 1 through bearings at the top and bottom, and can rotate at high speed around its own axis. The filter sleeve 2 is a porous metal filter screen 60. The centrifugal force generated by its high-speed rotation can throw the dust in the air against the cylinder wall, realizing the initial separation of dust and air.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, an annular filter screen 60 is also fitted inside the filter sleeve 2. One side of the filter screen 60 abuts against the inner side of the filter sleeve 2, and the other side of the filter screen 60 abuts against the outer side of the filter sleeve 2, so that the filter screen 60 fits against the inner and outer sides of the filter sleeve 2. Several rollers 67 are rotatably arranged on the filter sleeve 2, and the filter screen 60 is fitted on the rollers 67. The movement of the filter screen 60 can be realized by the rollers 67.

[0047] The filter screen 60 uses composite filter material, with an inner layer of non-woven fabric and an outer layer of flexible metal mesh, which are attached to the inner and outer sides of the filter sleeve 2.

[0048] Rollers 67 are evenly distributed along the inner wall of filter sleeve 2. Filter screen 60 is sleeved on filter sleeve 2. Rollers 67 are moved by motor drive, which drives filter screen 60 to move left and right in the horizontal direction.

[0049] When a certain area of ​​the inner filter screen 60 becomes clogged, the filter sleeve 2 moves the filter screen 60, causing the clogged area to move to the outside of the filter sleeve 2, where the cleaning component will clean it specifically. After cleaning, the filter screen 60 moves back to the inside to continue filtering, thus achieving online rotation and local cleaning.

[0050] Looking back Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, specifically, a central gear 12 is provided at the bottom of the filter box 1 in the vertical direction corresponding to the filter sleeve 2. Several sets of planetary gears 13 corresponding to the cleaning sleeve 4 are also movably provided on the side wall of the central gear 12. The central gear 12 is connected to the filter sleeve 2, and the planetary gears 13 are connected to the cleaning sleeve 4. Planetary gear rings 14 are also installed on the outer side of the planetary gears 13.

[0051] A switching component 15 is provided between the planetary gear 13 and planetary gear ring 14 corresponding to the cleaning sleeve 4 and the filter sleeve 2. The switching component 15 enables the cleaning sleeve 4 to switch between two modes: dust collection and surface cleaning of the filter sleeve 2.

[0052] To enable cleaning of the filter sleeve 2 and dust collection, a cleaning sleeve 4 is provided inside the filter box 1.

[0053] The lateral rotating shafts 3 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the outer wall of the filter sleeve 2, and there are four sets of lateral rotating shafts 3. Their two ends are embedded in the annular limiting grooves on the inner wall of the filter box 1, and can rotate along the annular trajectory.

[0054] The outer wall of the cleaning sleeve 4 is provided with equally spaced dust suction holes 42, and the outer wall of the cleaning sleeve 4 is also provided with equally spaced cleaning cones 43, with the cleaning cones 43 and dust suction holes 42 distributed alternately. A return spring is installed between the cleaning cones 43 and the cleaning sleeve 4.

[0055] The cleaning sleeve 4 is mounted on the lateral rotating shaft 3, parallel to the filter sleeve 2, with a certain gap between its wall and the outer wall of the filter sleeve 2. The outer wall of the cleaning sleeve 4 has alternating dust suction holes 42 and cleaning cones 43; the conical rubber protrusions of the cleaning cone 43 are used to clear blockages in the filter sleeve 2; the dust suction holes 42 are used to adsorb the separated dust; a return spring (not shown in the figure) connects the cleaning cone 43 and the cleaning sleeve 4; when the cleaning cone 43 presses against the filter sleeve 2, the spring stretches and stores force, then returns to its original position after disengagement, preventing excessive wear.

[0056] Looking back Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the switching component 15 includes a drive motor 150 mounted on the bottom of the filter box 1 via a motor bracket. The output end of the drive motor 150 faces upward and is connected to the central gear 12.

[0057] A cross-shaped slot 151 is provided between the bottom of the filter box 1 and the planetary gear 13. A cross-shaped block 152 is inserted into the cross-shaped slot 151. A connecting column 153 is rotatably installed on the cross-shaped block 152. An electric push rod 154 is installed at the end of the connecting column 153 away from the cross-shaped block 152.

[0058] A sliding groove 155 is provided between the planetary gear ring 14 and the outer wall of the filter box 1. A locking block 156 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 155. A second electric push rod 157 is installed on one side of the locking block 156. The second electric push rod 157 is installed on the outer wall of the filter box 1.

[0059] The drive motor 150 is installed at the bottom of the filter box 1, and its output shaft is connected to the central gear 12 to provide power for the entire transmission system.

[0060] A cross-shaped slot 151 is provided at the bottom of the filter box 1 corresponding to the planetary gear 13. The cross-shaped block 152 can be inserted into the slot, and its top is connected to the electric push rod 154 via the connecting column 153.

[0061] When the first electric actuator 154 extends, the cross-shaped block 152 inserts into the slot, restricting the planetary gear 13 from rotating (only revolving); when retracted, the planetary gear 13 can rotate freely.

[0062] A sliding groove 155 is provided between the outer side of the planetary gear ring 14 and the outer wall of the filter box 1. A locking block 156 is embedded in the groove and connected to the second electric push rod 157 on one side. When the second electric push rod 157 extends, the locking block 156 locks the planetary gear ring 14 to fix it, and the planetary gear 13 rotates freely at this time; when it retracts, the planetary gear ring 14 can rotate freely.

[0063] At this time, the switching component 15 has two switching modes: Mode 1: Dust collection mode.

[0064] The planetary gear ring 14 rotates, and the planetary gear 13 rotates only around its own axis without revolution. The cleaning sleeve 4 rotates synchronously and adsorbs dust on the surface of the filter sleeve 2 and the outer filter screen 60 through the dust suction hole 42. Light dust such as flour is sucked into the dust collection chamber inside the cleaning sleeve 4 by negative pressure.

[0065] Mode 2: Cleanup Mode.

[0066] The planetary gear ring 14 is fixed, and the planetary gear 13 revolves around the central gear 12 (while rotating on its own axis). The cleaning sleeve 4 rotates around the filter sleeve 2 along the annular limiting groove with the lateral rotating shaft 3. The cleaning cone 43 periodically squeezes the blockage holes of the outer filter screen 60, and works with the reset spring to achieve elastic unblocking.

[0067] See Figure 4 As shown, after the filter sleeve 2 has been working for a long time, it needs to be cleaned and replaced. The upper end of the cleaning sleeve 4 is also slidably connected to the sliding sleeve 40. The top of the filter box 1 is provided with a disassembly port for disassembling the sliding sleeve 40 at the position corresponding to the position of the sliding sleeve 40, and the disassembly port is covered with a disassembly window 41.

[0068] Open the disassembly window 41, then remove the sliding sleeve 40 from the cleaning sleeve 4 through the disassembly window 41, pour out the dust collected inside, and then reinsert the sliding sleeve 40 into the cleaning sleeve 4.

[0069] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, specifically, in order to improve filtration efficiency, the filter sleeve 2 is provided with an airflow guiding structure inside. A filter rod 20 is rotatably installed in the middle of the filter sleeve 2. A rotating block 21 is rotatably installed on the filter rod 20 along the height direction. A rotating guide vane 22 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating block 21. A linkage component 23 is provided between the rotating block 21 of the rotating guide vane 22 and the filter rod 20.

[0070] A horizontal rod 24 is also installed at the upper end of the filter sleeve 2. A sensing slider 25 is slidably mounted on the horizontal rod 24. A sensing spring 26 is also mounted on the horizontal rod 24. One end of the sensing spring 26 is connected to the sensing slider 25, and the other end is located at the end of the horizontal rod 24.

[0071] The linkage component 23 includes a hollow movable groove in the middle of the filter rod 20. A linkage column 230 is rotatably installed in the hollow movable groove of the filter rod 20. Several linkage bevel gears 231 are installed at equal intervals on the linkage column 230.

[0072] The rotating block 21 on the filter rod 20 is also connected to a passive bevel gear 232 via a bearing. The passive bevel gear 232 is located in the hollow movable groove of the filter rod 20, and the passive bevel gear 232 meshes with the linkage bevel gear 231. A linkage rack 233 is also installed on the sensing slider 25. The linkage rack 233 slides through the filter rod 20, and a linkage gear 234 is also installed at one end of the linkage column 230 near the linkage rack 233. The linkage gear 234 meshes with the linkage rack 233.

[0073] As the filter sleeve 2 rotates faster, the sensing slider 25, under the action of centrifugal force, compresses the sensing spring 26, which drives the linkage rack 233 to move. Through the linkage gear 234, linkage column 230, and bevel gear transmission, the rotating guide vane 22 rotates, thereby adjusting the angle of the rotating guide vane 22 and optimizing the airflow distribution.

[0074] The airflow entering the filter box 1 pushes the sensing slider 25 to compress the sensing spring 26. The sensing slider 25 drives the linkage rack 233 to move. Through the linkage gear 234, linkage column 230 and bevel gear transmission, the rotating guide vane 22 rotates. The angle range of the rotating guide vane 22 is 30°-60°.

[0075] The rotating guide vanes 22 direct the airflow to the inner wall of the filter sleeve 2, preventing the airflow from directly impacting the central area of ​​the filter screen 60, thus making the dust distribution more uniform.

[0076] When the blades are at 0°: the rotating guide blades 22 are parallel to the airflow direction, causing minimal disturbance to the airflow and only playing a slight guiding role. Dust can easily penetrate the filter screen 60 directly with the airflow.

[0077] When the blades are at a 45° angle: the rotating guide vane 22 is tilted, and the airflow is blocked by the rotating guide vane 22 and deflected towards the inner wall of the filter sleeve 2, increasing the probability of dust contacting the filter screen 60 and thus effectively improving its filtration efficiency.

[0078] When the blade is at 90°: the rotating guide vane 22 is perpendicular to the airflow direction, the airflow is forced to turn along the surface of the rotating guide vane 22 and flow completely against the inner wall of the filter sleeve 2. The dust is intercepted by the combined action of centrifugal force and the guidance of the rotating guide vane 22, and the filtration efficiency is significantly improved.

[0079] Without the rotating guide vanes 22, the airflow is concentrated in the center of the filter sleeve 2, causing a large amount of dust to penetrate directly from the middle of the filter sleeve 2, resulting in low utilization of the edge area of ​​the filter screen 60. The rotating guide vanes 22, through angle adjustment, direct the airflow to the inner wall of the filter sleeve 2 and the entire circumference of the filter screen 60, thereby improving the utilization of the filter screen 60 and avoiding excessive local clogging.

[0080] Traditional filters suffer from turbulent airflow, resulting in significant differences in dust accumulation across different areas of the filter screen 60, with more dust in the center and less at the edges, easily leading to localized clogging. The guide vanes, through angle adjustment, maintain the airflow velocity within the filter sleeve 2 within a certain range, ensuring uniform dust accumulation across all areas of the filter screen 60, thereby extending the overall service life of the filter screen 60.

[0081] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, specifically, an adaptive component 5 with adjustable adaptive air volume is also provided on one side of the filter box 1. The adaptive component 5 includes two sets of telescopic baffles 50 installed at one end of the filter box 1 located at the air inlet 10. An inclined air inlet baffle 51 is installed on the side of the two sets of telescopic baffles 50 that are close to each other.

[0082] The filter box 1 is provided with two sets of synchronizing components 52 along the height direction. The synchronizing component 52 includes two parallel adjusting rods 53 that are slidably installed on the inner wall of the filter box 1. The ends of the two adjusting rods 53 that are far apart from each other are respectively connected to two air inlet baffles 51. The ends of the two adjusting rods 53 that are close to each other are engaged with adjusting gears 54. A fiber rod 55 is installed between the two adjusting gears 54. A cloth strip-shaped impeller 56 is installed on the fiber rod 55.

[0083] Two sets of inclined telescopic baffles 50, made of lightweight aluminum alloy, are symmetrically installed inside the air inlet 10, with the spacing determining the size of the air inlet cross-section. The adjusting rods 53 are two parallel rods that are slidably installed on the inner wall of the filter box 1 and are connected to the two sets of air inlet baffles 51 respectively. The strip-shaped impeller 56 is installed on the gear shaft and rotates with the air volume, driving the adjusting gear 54 to rotate, causing the adjusting rods 53 to move to the sides or the middle, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the spacing of the air inlet baffles 51. When the adjusting rods 53 move to the sides, the air volume is large; conversely, it is small.

[0084] It should be noted that a damping collar is provided between the fiber rod 55 and the two adjusting gears 54. When the wind force is greater than the damping of the damping collar, the wind turbine 56 rotates, and the adjusting gears 54 control the two air inlet baffles 51 to move to the maximum distance, and then they cannot move.

[0085] When the air intake is large, the impeller 56 on the fiber rod 55 rotates faster, and the fiber rod 55 controls the adjustment gear 54 to rotate. Then, the adjustment gear 54 controls the two air intake baffles 51 to move away from each other through the corresponding adjustment rod 53. Conversely, the two air intake baffles 51 move closer to each other.

[0086] During operation: First, confirm that the air inlet 10 and air outlet 11 of the filter box 1 are not blocked, the air inlet baffle 51 at the air inlet 10 is in the initial state, and clean and replace the sliding sleeve 40 inside the sleeve 4.

[0087] Step 2: During flour production, a large amount of dust will be generated. At this time, the equipment is started and the dust enters the interior of the filter box 1 through the air inlet 10. The filter sleeve 2 rotates at high speed. Meanwhile, the switching component 15 is in dust collection mode (the planetary gear ring 14 rotates and the cleaning sleeve 4 rotates to collect dust). At the same time, the dust collection hole 42 of the cleaning sleeve 4 collects dust through negative pressure. When the dust collection chamber is full, an alarm prompts for cleaning.

[0088] Step 3: When the pressure difference is large, the cleaning mode is automatically switched. The planetary gear ring 14 is fixed, the cleaning sleeve 4 rotates around the filter sleeve 2, and the cleaning cone 43 clears the filter holes. However, when the pressure difference is still high after multiple cleanings, the filter screen 60 moves, causing its blockage area to move to the outside of the filter sleeve 2 for targeted cleaning. Then, it returns to the dust collection mode, and the filter screen 60 also returns to its initial state to continue dust purification and filtration.

[0089] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
