Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of filter elements for oil and gas separators, in particular to a filter element structure for oil and gas separators. Background Art

[0002] In automotive industry applications, oil-gas separators are key equipment, especially those used in engines. Oil-gas separators used in engines are mainly used to separate unburned fuel gas, water vapor in crankcase blowby gas, engine oil in exhaust gas, and PM and PN particles to ensure gas purity and efficient operation of equipment. As the core component of the oil-gas separator, the performance of the filter element directly affects the separation effect and the stability of the equipment. Traditional oil-gas separator filter element structures usually rely on sealing rings and gaskets to achieve internal sealing to prevent gas leakage and impurity penetration.

[0003] However, this traditional sealing method has several disadvantages. First, the installation of the seal ring and gasket requires additional steps, which not only increases the assembly time, but may also cause unstable sealing performance due to improper installation. Second, the long-term use of the seal ring and gasket will lose its elasticity and sealing effect due to material aging, and it needs to be replaced regularly to maintain the performance of the filter element, which increases maintenance costs and downtime.

[0004] In addition, with the increasing requirements of industry for environmental protection and efficiency, higher requirements are placed on the sealing performance and assembly efficiency of filter element structures. Therefore, developing a new filter element structure for oil-gas separators that can achieve fast, efficient direct assembly and excellent sealing performance without relying on traditional sealing rings and gaskets is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the industry.
