Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air filter elements, in particular to a cylindrical pressable air purification filter element. Background Art
[0002] The purpose of air filters is to obtain clean air that meets the standards. Generally, ventilation filters are used to capture and adsorb dust particles of different sizes in the air to improve the air quality and purify the air. Air filter elements are usually the most indispensable part of air purification devices. In today's household air filter field, they are generally divided into cylindrical products and flat products.
[0003] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the cylindrical air filter element contains an annular sealing cotton 6, an annular upper cover 1, a lower cover 5, a pre-filter layer 4, an activated carbon filter layer 3, and a filter material layer 2; the upper and lower covers serve as the frame of the cylindrical air filter element, and play a role in fixing the overall shape of the product. At the same time, the upper and lower covers also fit with the sealing cotton to play a sealing role. The materials generally used for this type of upper and lower covers are usually plastics, such as ABS, PP, etc. However, during the production process of this type of upper and lower covers, injection molds are required for injection molding production. Due to the related expenses of injection molds and injection molding equipment and the complex process, the production cost of the upper and lower covers is high. At the same time, due to the use of plastic materials, the shape of the final filter element is fixed, and it occupies a large space and is not easy to store, resulting in increased packaging and transportation costs of the final filter element.
[0004] In addition, since the plastic cover is a hard material, there is a gap between the filter element and the air purifier, so it is necessary to paste sealing cotton on the cover. The elastic characteristics of the sealing cotton itself are used to increase the airtightness between the filter element and the air purifier, so that more air can pass through the filter element, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the filtration efficiency; but the pasting of the sealing cotton also increases the production cost of the product. For this reason, we propose a cylindrical pressable air purification filter element. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a cylindrical pressable air purification filter element to solve the problems in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a cylindrical pressable air purification filter element, comprising a filter material layer, an activated carbon filter layer is arranged on the outside of the filter material layer, and the activated carbon filter layer is provided with a pre-filter layer; an upper cover and a lower cover are respectively installed at both ends of the filter material layer, the activated carbon filter layer and the pre-filter layer after assembly; the upper cover and the lower cover adopt an elastic and flexible structure.
[0007] Preferably, the upper cover and the lower cover are made of EPDM rubber, polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric.
[0008] Preferably, the filter material layer is a pleated structure formed by folding non-woven filter paper, and the two ends of the folded non-woven filter paper are bonded into a circular ring structure by a hot-melt adhesive layer.
[0009] Preferably, the folded surface of the pleated structure of the filter material layer after being folded is coated with a rubber strip.
[0010] Preferably, the adhesive strip is made of non-foaming hot melt adhesive or foaming hot melt adhesive.
[0011] Preferably, the coating of the folded surface rubber strip of the filter material layer is carried out by pleated top full mountain coating or pleated top half mountain coating.
[0012] Preferably, the activated carbon filter layer adopts activated carbon bag, activated carbon cotton or activated carbon net.
[0013] Preferably, the pre-filtration layer is made of PET mesh, PP mesh or non-woven mesh.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0015] 1. After the upper cover and the lower cover are made of EPDM rubber, polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric, since EPDM rubber, polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric has good deformability and resettability, and is combined with the filter material layer, activated carbon filter layer and pre-filter layer, the deformability and resettability of the entire cylindrical filter element can be achieved; after being combined into a filter element, through appropriate extrusion, the storage space occupied by itself can be reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the packaging and transportation quantity, thereby reducing the packaging and transportation costs.
[0016] 2. The EPDM rubber, polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric used for the upper and lower covers is quite soft and can be used instead of sealing cotton. Therefore, the upper and lower covers can be used as seals, thereby reducing the materials that constitute the product and effectively reducing the cost of the filter element. After the upper and lower covers are made of EPDM rubber, polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric, they can be cut and formed using a die cutter, without the need for injection molding and with a simple process, which can effectively reduce the cost of production materials.
[0017] 3. The upper cover and the lower cover are made of EPDM rubber or polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric. Taking EPDM rubber as an example, EPDM rubber is a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and non-conjugated dienes; the main characteristics of this type of material are excellent oxidation resistance, ozone resistance, corrosion resistance and good deformability and resettability.
[0018] 4. The gluing method of the filter material layer can be to use non-foaming or foaming hot melt adhesive to coat the top of the pleated mountain or half of the mountain according to the needs, which can improve the strength of the filter material layer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] After the upper cover and the lower cover are made of EPDM rubber or polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric, since EPDM rubber or polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric has good deformability and resettability, and cooperates with the filter material layer, the activated carbon filter layer and the pre-filter layer, the deformability and resettability of the entire cylindrical filter element are achieved; after being combined into the filter element, through appropriate extrusion, the storage space occupied by itself can be reduced, and the purpose of increasing the packaging and transportation quantity is achieved, thereby reducing the packaging and transportation costs.
[0030] The EPDM rubber, polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric used for the upper and lower covers is quite soft and can be used instead of sealing cotton, so the upper and lower covers can also be used as seals, thereby reducing the materials constituting the product and effectively reducing the cost of the filter element; after the upper and lower covers are made of EPDM rubber, polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric, they can be cut and formed using a die cutter, without the need for injection molding and with a simple process, which can effectively reduce the cost of production materials.
[0031] The upper cover and the lower cover are made of EPDM rubber or polyurethane or soft non-woven fabric. Taking EPDM rubber as an example, EPDM rubber is a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and non-conjugated diene. The main characteristics of this kind of material are excellent oxidation resistance, ozone resistance, corrosion resistance and good deformability and resettability.
[0032] The filter material layer 2 is a pleated structure formed by folding a non-woven filter paper. The two ends of the folded non-woven filter paper are bonded into a circular structure by a hot melt adhesive layer 8. The folded surface of the pleated structure of the filter material layer 2 is coated with an adhesive strip 7. The adhesive strip 7 is made of non-foaming hot melt adhesive or foaming hot melt adhesive.
