Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water filters, in particular to a compact full-diameter water filter for an air valve. Background Art
[0002] It has always been a common practice to install air valves to protect pipelines. In long-distance water pipeline projects, the installation of air valves is crucial to eliminate air pockets and water hammer hazards in pipelines, protect pipelines from negative pressure, and prevent pipeline bursts. However, in actual applications, impurities in the pipeline will interfere with the normal operation of the air valve, block the air valve's air inlet and outlet channels, make it unable to respond to pressure changes in time, reduce the anti-water hammer effect, and endanger the long-term stability of the pipeline system.
[0003] In view of this, the traditional solution is to add a water filter under the air valve to filter impurities in the water flow entering the air valve to ensure that the air valve can always maintain a good working condition. However, the existing water filters are generally large in size and occupy a lot of space, which not only increases the investment cost of the valve well building, but also because the internal filter of the water filter is composed of many small meshes arranged closely, the actual effective flow area when the fluid passes through is reduced, which in turn affects the performance of the air valve during rapid exhaust or suction, reducing the adaptability and safety of the overall water delivery system.

[0033] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:
[0034] In an embodiment of the utility model, the water filter comprises: an outer shell and an arched filter; the arched filter is invertedly installed in the outer shell; a cleaning port is provided on the shell wall; the end of the cleaning port is blocked by a cover plate; the water filter can more effectively capture and filter various impurities in the water through the inverted arched filter, and the filtering area of the filter is significantly improved, ensuring that the fluid can maintain the maximum diameter of the connection part with the air valve when passing through the water filter, significantly improving the response speed of the air valve, and optimizing the working performance of the entire system; and it is conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight of the water filter, effectively reducing space occupancy and valve well construction costs; in addition, the arched structure itself has good mechanical stability and can withstand greater fluid pressure and impact force, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the filter due to external forces, and further improving the safety and reliability of the water filter.
[0035] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0036] Example:
[0037] like Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a compact full-diameter water filter for an air valve, the water filter comprising: a housing 10 and an arched filter screen 20;
[0038] The water inlet and the water outlet of the housing 10 are both provided with connecting flanges 11, which facilitate the connection of the water filter with the air valve, pipes or valves, etc. Through the connecting flanges 11, the water filter can achieve effective cooperation with the air valve to ensure the smooth flow of the fluid. This design not only simplifies the installation process, but also improves the stability and reliability of the entire system;
[0039] The arched filter 20 is installed in an inverted manner in the housing 10;
[0040] The shell wall of the housing 10 is provided with a cleaning port 12;
[0041] The end of the cleaning port 12 is blocked by a cover plate 13 .
[0042] The water filter can more effectively capture and filter various impurities in the water through the inverted arched filter 20, and the filtering area of the filter is significantly improved, ensuring that the fluid can maintain the maximum diameter of the connection part with the air valve when passing through the water filter, significantly improving the response speed of the air valve, and optimizing the working performance of the entire system; it is also conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight of the water filter, effectively reducing the space occupation and valve well construction costs; in addition, the arched structure itself has good mechanical stability and can withstand greater fluid pressure and impact force, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the filter due to external forces, and further improving the safety and reliability of the water filter; the setting of the cleaning port 12 facilitates the cleaning of the filter 20. The staff opens the cover 13 and uses a long-handled brush to extend from the cleaning port 12 into the outer casing 10 to clean the arched filter 20, which improves the convenience and efficiency of the filter cleaning work.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the generatrix of the arch filter 20 includes three arcs, the radius of the arcs on both sides is greater than the radius of the arc in the middle, and the three arcs are tangent.
[0044] The larger radius of the arcs on both sides provides the filter with better structural strength and stability; when subjected to fluid pressure and impact, this structure can better maintain its shape and reduce the risk of deformation or damage to the filter.
[0045] The total filtration area S1 of the arched filter 20 and the filter diameter area S2 satisfy: S1 ≥ S2; ensuring that the filter is full diameter;
[0046] in,
[0047]

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the end of the cleaning port 12 is connected to the cover plate 13 via a flange.
[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the cleaning port 12 is located below the arched filter 20; and the cleaning port 12 is inclined downward from the head end to the tail end, so that when the cleaning operation is performed from the cleaning port 12, the sedimentation area of the arched filter 20 is directly exposed, which greatly reduces the cleaning blind area and is conducive to the long-handled brush extending from the bottom to the top into the outer shell 10 to clean the arched filter 20; and the inclined cleaning port 12 allows a reasonable layout of the water filter under conditions of limited space, helps to maintain the compact size of the water filter, avoids additional space occupation, and improves the environmental adaptability of the water filter.
[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, a mounting seat 14 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 10, and a connecting piece corresponding to the mounting seat 14 is provided on the edge of the arched filter screen 20. The connecting piece and the mounting seat 14 are connected by bolts and nuts, which improves the convenience and accuracy of loading and unloading the arched filter screen 20.
[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the water filter further comprises: a purge port 15;
[0055] The head end of the purge port 15 is connected to the interior of the shell 10 and faces the arched filter 20. A flexible joint 16 is provided at the end of the purge port 15. The flexible joint 16 is used to connect with the air compressor. When there is less dirt in the filter, the operator can directly use the mobile air compressor to purge the dirt adhered to the filter through the purge port 15 when the pipeline is full of water, so that the dirt falls off and is carried to the water outlet of the pipeline with the water flow in the main pipeline, thereby realizing convenient cleaning of the filter.
[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a check valve 17 and a ball valve 18 are provided in the middle section of the purge port 15;
[0057] The check valve 17 is used to prevent the water in the housing 10 from flowing out from the purge port 15;
[0058] The ball valve 18 remains closed during the non-purging phase to ensure that the water filter is in a completely closed and leak-free state.
[0059] In summary, compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
