AI Technical Summary
Existing compressed air filters are bulky, have many interfaces, and are costly to install and invest in. Furthermore, the curved flow path leads to high pressure loss.
The U-shaped shell design combines coarse and fine filter elements. Waste liquid accumulates at the bottom of the U-shaped bend and is discharged through an automatic drain. The filter canister is connected to the return air pipe, simplifying the flow channel design.
It achieves a multi-stage filtration effect with compact structure, low cost, low flow resistance, and low pressure loss.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of filters, and in particular relates to a compressed air filter. Background Art
[0002] The compressed air from the air compressor contains a large amount of liquid water, particulate impurities and some liquid oil, and must be filtered through multiple filters before it can be sent to the back end for use. Therefore, before using the air, the compressed air must be filtered through multiple stages using filters of different precision levels, and it can be used after reaching the corresponding cleanliness level. The common compressed air filters on the market are all single-stage filters, as shown in Figure (2). In order to achieve the ideal cleanliness requirements, multiple filters of different filtration precision levels need to be connected in series, resulting in a large filter size, many interfaces, and high installation and investment costs. In addition, after the single-stage filters are assembled in series, the gas flow path has many bends and the overall pressure loss is high. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a combined compressed air filter to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a combined compressed air filter, comprising a U-shaped shell, a flange cover, a filter element bracket, a coarse filter element, a fine filter element, and also comprising a ball valve, an automatic drainer and a sealing gasket; the U-shaped shell and the flange cover press the sealing gasket and then fix and seal it by fastening bolts, and the coarse filter element, the fine filter element and the filter element bracket are threadedly connected and fixedly installed as a whole in the two filter barrels of the U-shaped shell.
[0005] Furthermore, the U-shaped shell is divided into two left and right filter barrels, the two filter barrels share a U-shaped bend at the bottom, a drainage port is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped bend, and a filter element seat plate is provided in each of the two filter barrels.
[0006] Furthermore, the two filter barrels of the U-shaped shell are connected by an air return duct.
[0007] Furthermore, the filter element bracket is fixed to the filter element seat plate of the U-shaped housing by means of bolts or buckles.
[0008] Technical effects and advantages of the utility model:
[0009] The utility model has a compact structure and a small size, and one filter can realize the functions of coarse filtration and fine filtration of compressed air;
[0010] The utility model adopts a U-shaped shell, and the waste water and waste oil generated by coarse filtration and fine filtration will accumulate at the bottom of the U-shaped bend, so that all discharge can be achieved with one automatic drainer, and the overall cost is low;
[0011] The compressed air circulates simply in the structure of the utility model, the flow channel resistance is small, and the overall pressure loss of the system is low. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0016] like Figure 1 A specific embodiment of a combined compressed air filter of the utility model is shown: it includes a U-shaped shell 1, a flange cover plate 2, a filter element bracket 3, a coarse filter element 4 and a fine filter element 5; a filter element seat plate 10 is welded and fixed in the two filter barrels of the U-shaped shell 1, and there is an air return pipe 11 under the filter element seat plate 10 to connect the two filter barrels. The filter element bracket 3 has a screw of a fixed length, which is threadedly connected to the coarse filter element 4 and the fine filter element 5 respectively, and is installed and fixed on the filter element seat plate 10 as a whole, wherein: the filter element bracket 3 and the filter element seat plate 10 can be fixed by screws or by buckles. The U-shaped shell 1 and the flange cover plate 2 are sealed and fixed by a sealing gasket 6 and a fastening bolt 9.
[0017] Compressed air enters the coarse filter element 4 from the filter inlet, enters the fine filter element 5 after coarse filtration, and flows out from the compressed air outlet after two-stage filtration. Liquids such as water and oil in the compressed air will accumulate on the surface of the filter element and drip into the U-shaped bend. A drain port is provided at the lowest point of the U-shaped bend. These waste liquids flow into the automatic drainer 8 through the ball valve 7 on the drain port to achieve automatic discharge of waste liquid. The return air pipe 11 can ensure the structural stability of the U-shaped shell when it is stressed, and at the same time can avoid air blockage when a large amount of liquid water fills the U-shaped bend.
