DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1 This application is described in further detail.

[0023] The embodiment of the present application discloses an air filter.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 The air filter includes a shell 1, a filter element 2, a connecting cover 3 and a compression spring 4. The shell 1 has a cavity 131 inside, one end of the shell 1 is provided with an air inlet 111 which is interconnected with the cavity 131, and the end of the shell 1 away from the air inlet 111 is provided with an air outlet 121 which is interconnected with the cavity 131. The filter element 2 is installed in the cavity 131, the connecting cover 3 is installed at one end of the filter element 2 close to the air outlet 121, and the compression spring 4 is arranged between the connecting cover 3 and the bottom of the cavity 131.

[0025] The compression spring 4 squeezes the connection cover 3 to fix the connection cover 3, thereby reducing the risk of the filter element 2 being offset, thereby reducing the risk of the filter holes being blocked, and further reducing the risk of reduced filtering efficiency.

[0026] An embedding groove 31 is formed at one end of the connecting cover 3 near the compression spring 4 , and an abutting groove 1311 is formed at the bottom of the cavity 131 of the housing 1 . One end of the compression spring 4 is inserted into the embedding groove 31 , and the other end of the compression spring 4 is inserted into the abutting groove 1311 .

[0027] The embedding groove 31 and the abutting groove 1311 limit the compression spring 4, thereby reducing the risk of the compression spring 4 being deflected, making the filter element 2 more stably fixed, thereby reducing the risk of reduced filtering efficiency.

[0028] The housing 1 includes a bottom cover 11 , a shell 13 and an end cover 12 . The bottom cover 11 and the end cover 12 are respectively threadedly connected to two sides of the shell 13 . The air inlet 111 is arranged on the bottom cover 11 , and the air outlet 121 is arranged on the end cover 12 .

[0029] When the filter element 2 needs to be replaced after being used for a long time, the bottom cover 11 or the end cover 12 can be screwed off, and the filter element 2 can be taken out for replacement, which facilitates the replacement of the filter element 2.

[0030] A positioning post 1312 is disposed at one end of the bottom cover 11 close to the filter element 2 , and the filter element 2 is plugged into the outer peripheral side of the positioning post 1312 .

[0031] The positioning column 1312 can position the filter element 2, making the filter element 2 more stably fixed, reducing the risk of the filter element 2 being offset, and thus reducing the risk of reduced filtering efficiency.

[0032] A first sealing ring 112 is disposed at one end of the bottom cover 11 close to the housing 13 , and a second sealing ring 122 is disposed at one end of the end cover 12 close to the housing 13 .

[0033] The first sealing ring 112 blocks the gap between the bottom cover 11 and the shell 13 to reduce the risk of gas leakage, and the second sealing ring 122 blocks the gap between the end cover 12 and the shell 13 to reduce the risk of gas leakage.

[0034] The filter element 2 is a corrugated filter paper.

[0035] The filtration accuracy, flow rate and noise reduction effect can be changed by changing the specifications of the corrugated paper.

[0036] The implementation principle of an air filter in an embodiment of the present application is: the compression spring 4 squeezes the connecting cover 3 to fix the connecting cover 3, thereby reducing the risk of the filter element 2 being offset, thereby reducing the risk of the filter holes being blocked, and further reducing the risk of reduced filtration efficiency.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
