[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) This invention sets a drive assembly at the lower end of the loading box. The drive assembly mainly consists of gears and a first motor assembly. The first motor is started by a PLC controller. Through the meshing of the gears and rack, a downward driving force is generated, which drives the loading box to descend smoothly along the guide rail. The position is monitored in real time by an encoder. When the loading box drops to the preset material changing height, the PLC controller automatically cuts off the power, the first motor stops operating, and the loading box stops precisely. If the encoder fails, the loading box will also be forced to stop when it touches the lower limit switch, ensuring safety. Through the meshing of the gears and rack, the rotational motion is directly converted into the linear lifting motion of the box body. No external equipment is required, which ensures that the loading box weighing hundreds of kilograms is extremely stable, without shaking or jamming during the lifting process, and effectively counteracts the lateral force of the gear and rack transmission. This is the basis for achieving safe and reliable operation. Through the dual protection design of the first motor, upper limit switch and lower limit switch, the first motor has a built-in brake to ensure that the loading box is immediately locked when the power is cut off. Both the upper and lower limit switches are mechanical limit switches, serving as hardware redundancy and providing final safety protection in case of circuit system failure. These two features together constitute the key safety effect, solving the core safety hazard of heavy loads falling from heights. The drive lifting system is fully integrated inside the equipment, eliminating the need for external lifting equipment. The overall structure is compact, and with the bottom casters, it truly achieves portable material changing. Operators can easily control the lifting and lowering of the heavy material box with a button, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving material changing efficiency. Through the servo control system and encoder feedback, the material box can be precisely stopped at any preset height, ensuring perfect interface with the filter host and guaranteeing sealing. This solves the problems of existing roller shutter filters, which are usually complex in structure and bulky, and whose filter roll replacement often requires professional operation, disassembly of many parts, and is time-consuming. For scenarios that require mobile use, frequent filter replacement, or operation in confined spaces, this results in poor portability and ease of material changing.
[0016] (2) By setting sliding components at the rear ends of both sides of the feeding box, the wheel frame is inserted into the guide rail, and the mounting post slides along the guide rail groove. The slider and the mounting plate are located on both sides of the guide rail groove, and the slider and the mounting plate are connected by fixing bolts. When the feeding box moves up and down, the moving pulley contacts the inner wall of the guide rail and slides, which stabilizes the movement of the feeding box and prevents position deviation. The limiting end seat is inserted into the guide rail, and the limiting end seat is installed at both ends of the guide rail to seal the two ends of the guide rail and prevent the moving pulley from sliding out of the guide rail, thereby further improving stability.

A rotating groove 34 is provided on one side of the positioning seat 19, and the rotating shaft 18 passes through the rotating groove 34 and rotates along the rotating groove 34. A first fixing plate 20 is provided on one side of the positioning seat 19, and the first fixing plate 20 is fixed to the feeding box 2 by external bolts to ensure that the gear 8 can rotate normally without falling off or shifting its position, thereby improving stability. An upper limit switch 11 is provided at the top of the rack 4, and a lower limit switch 12 is provided at the bottom of the rack 4. A control box 9 is provided below the lower limit switch 12, and a control box 9 is provided at the front end of the control box 9. The control panel 10 has a guide rail groove 41 on the front surface of the guide rail 3, and the guide rail 3 is hollow inside. Limiting end seats 29 are provided at both ends of the guide rail 3. A threaded post 33 is provided at the front end of the limiting end seat 29, and one end of the threaded post 33 passes through the guide rail groove 41. A nut 32 is externally threaded to one end of the threaded post 33. A sliding assembly 5 is provided below the limiting end seat 29. Multiple sliding assemblies 5 are provided, and the feeding box 2 moves up and down along the guide rail 3 via the sliding assemblies 5. An inner baffle 31 is provided outside the threaded post 33, and an outer... The outer baffle 30 and the inner baffle 31 are respectively located on both sides of the guide rail groove 41. The sliding assembly 5 includes a slider 23 and a mounting plate 24, and the slider 23 and the mounting plate 24 are respectively located on both sides of the guide rail groove 41. The slider 23 and the mounting plate 24 are connected by a fixing bolt 25. A mounting post 26 is provided at the center of the slider 23, and one end of the mounting post 26 is fixed to the feeding box 2. The other end of the mounting post 26 passes through the slider 23 and the mounting plate 24 and is provided with a wheel frame 27. Both ends of the wheel frame 27 are rotatably connected to movable pulleys 28. The wheel frame 27 is inserted into the guide rail 3, and the mounting post 26 slides along the guide rail groove 41. The slider 23 and the mounting plate 24 are located on both sides of the guide rail groove 41. The slider 23 and the mounting plate 24 are connected by fixing bolts 25. When the feeding box 2 moves up and down, the moving pulley 28 contacts the inner wall of the guide rail 3 and slides, which stabilizes the movement of the feeding box 2 and prevents position deviation. Furthermore, the limiting end seat 29 is inserted into the guide rail 3. The limiting end seat 29 is installed at both ends of the guide rail 3 to seal the two ends of the guide rail 3, preventing the moving pulley 28 from sliding out of the guide rail 3, thereby further improving stability. The two ends of the protective plate 17 are fixed to the feeding box 2 by external screws to protect the drive assembly 22; During material change, the operator presses the "Lower" button on the control panel 10, which drives the first motor 6 to start via the PLC controller. Both the first motor 6 and the second motor 36 are servo motors, which is the existing operating technology. Through the meshing of the gear 8 and the rack 4, a downward driving force is generated, which drives the loading box 2 to descend smoothly along the guide rail 3. The position is monitored in real time by the encoder. When the material drops to the preset material change height, the PLC controller automatically cuts off the power, the first motor 6 stops operating, and the loading box 2 stops precisely. If the encoder malfunctions, the feeding box 2 will also be forced to stop when it touches the lower limit switch 12 to ensure safety. After the material change is completed, the operator presses the "up" button on the surface of the control panel 10. The first motor 6 reverses and the feeding box 2 rises smoothly to the upper limit switch 11 at the top and stops, thus realizing the up and down movement of the feeding box 2 to perform the material change operation. This is the foundation of integrated and self-driven lifting. The first motor 6 is installed on the feeding box 2. When the gear 8 rotates, it "walks" along the fixed rack 4, thus directly converting the rotational motion into the linear lifting motion of the box body. No external equipment is required, which ensures that the feeding box 2, which weighs hundreds of kilograms, is extremely stable, without shaking or jamming during the lifting process, and effectively counteracts the lateral force of the gear 8 and rack 4 transmission. This is the basis for achieving safe and reliable operation. The first motor 6 and the second motor 36 both have built-in encoders. The first motor 6, the second motor 36, the upper limit switch 11 and the lower limit switch 12 are all connected to the PLC controller installed in the control box 9. The operation commands are issued through the control panel 10. Through the dual protection design of the first motor 6, the upper limit switch 11 and the lower limit switch 12, the first motor 6 has a built-in brake to ensure that the feeding box 2 is immediately locked when the power is cut off. The upper limit switch 11 and the lower limit switch 12 are both mechanical limit switches, which serve as hardware redundancy and provide final safety protection when the circuit system fails. These two features together constitute the key safety effect and solve the core safety hazard of heavy load falling from a height. The receiving box 14 is equipped with a receiving roller 35 inside. Both ends of the receiving roller 35 are equipped with a rotating shaft 39, and the rotating shaft 39 is rotatably connected to the receiving box 14 through an external ball bearing. Side baffles 40 are provided on the outside of the receiving roller 35 near both ends. A belt guard 38 is provided on one side of the receiving box 14. A second reducer 37 is provided at one end of the belt guard 38. A second motor 36 is provided on one side of the second reducer 37. The output end of the second motor 36 drives the receiving roller 35 to rotate through an external timing belt. The belt guard 38 protects the timing belt. A cover plate 15 is provided at the opening of the loading box 2. A hinge 16 is provided at the connection between one side of the cover plate 15 and the loading box 2. The cover plate 15 is rotatably connected to the loading box 2 through the hinge 16, which facilitates the opening and closing of the cover plate 15 and improves flexibility. By starting the second motor 36, the output end of the second motor 36 drives the take-up roller 35 to rotate through the external timing belt, thereby realizing the winding of the curtain filter material 13, achieving a storage and folding effect, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement in small spaces and improves convenience.
