Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of filtering devices, in particular to an explosion-proof transparent visible pre-filter. Background Art

[0002] The pre-filter is the first coarse filtration device for the water used in the whole house. It can filter out mud, rust, algae and other large particles of impurities in tap water, and play an active and effective protective role for the water pipes, faucets, valve fittings, and terminal water facilities in the whole house. It is generally installed behind the water meter in the water inlet pipe. The existing pre-filter structure is mainly composed of a copper alloy valve body, a shell connected to the copper alloy valve body at the upper end, a drain valve connected to the shell at the lower end, and a filter mesh assembly inside the shell. In order to facilitate the observation of the filtration blockage of the pre-filter and realize the visualization of the filtration part of the pre-filter, transparent plastic is usually directly used as the preparation material of the shell, such as transparent PC or PA. This transparent plastic shell allows users to check the accumulation of stains on the surface of the filter and observe the filtration of the pre-filter at any time.

[0003] Although the existing transparent PC or PA materials can meet the basic performance requirements of pipeline products, the premise is that the PC or PA molding process needs to be strictly controlled, such as mold temperature, material humidity, etc. Once the process control is not strict, such as when the heating temperature is uneven, or the humidity is too high or too low, stress will be generated inside the transparent plastic shell, resulting in poor product performance. The quality difference of these transparent plastic shells cannot be observed with the naked eye, and it is difficult to measure the performance difference in a short time. However, after a period of use and / or under the influence of environmental conditions, the stress in the transparent plastic shell will be released, resulting in the risk of the transparent plastic shell bursting, causing great property losses to users. Therefore, how to ensure the safe and stable use of the pre-filter and realize the visualization of the pre-filtration process is one of the common goals pursued in this field.

[0004] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0032] First embodiment

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 The present embodiment provides an explosion-proof transparent visible pre-filter 100, which includes a pre-filter body, the pre-filter body includes a metal shell 110, a filter assembly (not shown), a water inlet and outlet assembly 120, a sewage discharge assembly 130 and a visible assembly 140, the filter assembly is accommodated in the metal shell 110, the sewage discharge assembly 130 is connected to the filter assembly and is arranged at one end of the metal shell 110, the water inlet and outlet assembly 120 is arranged at one end of the metal shell 110 away from the sewage discharge assembly 130, the metal shell 110 is provided with a visible window 111 that penetrates the inner and outer surfaces of the metal shell 110, and the visible assembly 140 is installed on the surface of the visible window 111.

[0034] Among them, the filter component, the water inlet and outlet component 120 and the sewage discharge component 130 can adopt the structure of the existing pre-filter 100. The present invention does not impose any restrictions on this. It only needs to adjust the material of the shell of the existing pre-filter 100 and set a visible window 111 on the surface of the metal shell 110, and install the visual component 140 provided by the embodiment of the present invention on the surface of the visible window 111. Therefore, the pre-filter 100 provided by the present invention has a wide range of applications and has no requirements on the model, filter structure, etc. of the pre-filter 100.

[0035] In addition, the shell of the pre-filter 100 provided in the embodiment of the utility model is a metal shell 110, wherein only the corresponding visible component 140 on the visible window 111 is made of non-metallic material. During use, the metal shell 110 serves as the main force-bearing structure, and its stability is stronger than that of the plastic shell, which significantly reduces the possibility of the metal shell 110 bursting.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2The visible component 140 includes a sealing member, a transparent member 141 and a fixing member 142; the opposite ends of the transparent member 141 are a blocking end and a visual end respectively, the blocking end is provided with a sealing member installation position, the sealing member is accommodated in the sealing member installation position, and the blocking end blocks the visual window 111 on the metal shell 110, the fixing member 142 is sleeved on the surface of the visual end of the transparent member 141, the fixing member 142 is tightly connected to the visual window 111, and an observation hole 1421 penetrating the surface of the visual end is opened on the fixing member 142.

[0037] The sealing problem between the visual component 140 and the visual window 111 is solved by providing a sealing member, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the pre-filter 100. Since the blocking section of the transparent member 141 blocks the visual window 111, it can be understood that the shape and size of the transparent member 141 match the shape and size of the visual window 111 to ensure complete blocking of the visual window 111. By providing the transparent member 141 and providing the observation hole 1421 on the fixing member 142, the filtering condition of the filtering cavity of the pre-filter 100 inside the transparent member 141 can be directly observed from the observation hole 1421, so as to facilitate timely replacement of the filter element inside the metal housing 110.

[0038] In this embodiment, the visible window 111 is circular, the transparent member 141 is also circular, the fixing member 142 is a nut with an observation hole 1421 in the middle, the fixing member 142 has an internal thread, and the visible window 111 of the metal shell 110 is designed with an external thread. The internal and external threads of the fixing member 142 and the metal shell 110 cooperate to tightly install the transparent member 141 and the sealing member in the visible window 111. In order to facilitate the installation of the fixing member 142, a tightening position is provided on the side of the outer surface of the nut, which can be a hexagon, for example.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 In order to ensure the blocking capability of the transparent member 141 to the visible window 111, there are two sealing members, namely a sealing gasket 143 and a sealing ring 144. The blocking end of the transparent member 141 includes a blocking surface 1411 and a blocking protrusion 1412. The blocking protrusion 1412 protrudes longitudinally from the blocking surface 1411, so the blocking surface 1411 is an annular surface. A sealing gasket installation position 1413 is provided on the blocking surface 1411, and the sealing gasket 143 is accommodated on the sealing gasket installation position 1413. A sealing ring installation position 1414 is provided on the blocking protrusion 1412, and the sealing ring 144 is accommodated on the sealing ring installation position 1414.

[0040] Correspondingly, a limiting member 112 is arranged in the visible window 111 of the metal shell 110. The limiting member 112 is an annular surface that protrudes laterally from the visible window 111. When the transparent member 141 is installed into the visible window 111, the blocking surface 1411 of the transparent member 141 contacts the limiting member 112, and the blocking protrusion 1412 extends into the through hole formed by the limiting member 112. The sealing ring 144 blocks the gap between the limiting member 112 and the blocking protrusion 1412, and the sealing gasket 143 blocks the gap between the limiting member 112 and the blocking surface 1411, thereby achieving a double sealing effect.

[0041] The present embodiment provides an explosion-proof transparent visible pre-filter 100, and its installation process and working principle are as follows:

[0042] Accommodate the sealing ring 144 in the sealing ring installation position 1414, accommodate the sealing gasket 143 in the sealing gasket installation position 1413, and then accommodate the transparent part 141 installed with the sealing ring 144 and the sealing gasket 143 in the visible window 111, and the blocking protrusion 1412 extends into the limiting part 112, and the blocking surface 1411 contacts the limiting part 112 and completely blocks the hollow area of ​​the visible window 111, and then screw the fixing part 142 onto the external thread of the visible window 111 and tighten it with a wrench to complete the assembly of the visible component 140.

[0043] The assembled explosion-proof transparent visual pre-filter 100 can be directly installed for water filtration. During use, the use of the filter assembly inside the transparent member 141 can be observed through the observation hole 1421 on the fixing member 142. When the filter assembly is blocked, it can be replaced in time to ensure the water filtration quality and efficiency. At the same time, the metal shell 110 used in this embodiment has a more stable structure and is not prone to explosion.

[0044] Second embodiment

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment provides an explosion-proof transparent visual pre-filter 100, whose structure is similar to that of the first embodiment, except that the fixing member 142 and the visual window 111 are connected by a flange, as follows:

[0046] In this embodiment, the viewing window 111 is elliptical, and a mounting flange is arranged around the viewing window 111, and four screw holes are arranged on the mounting flange; the transparent member 141 is also elliptical, and the shape of the fixing member 142 is the same as the shape of the mounting flange around the viewing window 111, and it also has four one-to-one corresponding screw holes, and four screws pass through the four screw holes respectively to fix the fixing member 142 on the mounting flange around the viewing window 111, and the observation hole 1421 in the middle of the fixing member 142 is also elliptical.

[0047] In order to ensure the blocking capability of the transparent member 141 to the visible window 111, the sealing members of this embodiment are also two, namely, a sealing gasket 143 and a sealing ring 144. The blocking end of the transparent member 141 includes a blocking surface 1411 and a blocking protrusion 1412. The blocking protrusion 1412 protrudes longitudinally from the blocking surface 1411, so the blocking surface 1411 is an annular surface. A sealing gasket installation position 1413 is provided on the blocking surface 1411, and the sealing gasket 143 is accommodated on the sealing gasket installation position 1413. A sealing ring installation position 1414 is provided on the blocking protrusion 1412, and the sealing ring 144 is accommodated on the sealing ring installation position 1414.

[0048] Correspondingly, a limiting member 112 is arranged in the visible window 111 of the metal shell 110. The limiting member 112 is an annular surface that protrudes laterally from the visible window 111. When the transparent member 141 is installed into the visible window 111, the blocking surface 1411 of the transparent member 141 contacts the limiting member 112, and the blocking protrusion 1412 extends into the through hole formed by the limiting member 112. The sealing ring 144 blocks the gap between the limiting member 112 and the blocking protrusion 1412, and the sealing gasket 143 blocks the gap between the limiting member 112 and the blocking surface 1411, thereby achieving a double sealing effect.

[0049] Third embodiment

[0050] Please refer to Figure 6 This embodiment provides an explosion-proof transparent visual pre-filter 100, whose structure is similar to that of the first embodiment, except that the fixing member 142 and the visual window 111 are connected by a flange, as follows:

[0051] In this embodiment, the viewing window 111 is circular, and a mounting flange is arranged around the viewing window 111, and four screw holes are arranged on the mounting flange; the transparent member 141 is also circular, and the shape of the fixing member 142 is the same as the shape of the mounting flange around the viewing window 111, and it also has four one-to-one corresponding screw holes, and four screws pass through the four screw holes respectively to fix the fixing member 142 on the mounting flange around the viewing window 111, and the observation hole 1421 in the middle of the fixing member 142 is also circular.

[0052] In order to ensure the blocking capability of the transparent member 141 to the visible window 111, the sealing members of this embodiment are also two, namely, a sealing gasket 143 and a sealing ring 144. The blocking end of the transparent member 141 includes a blocking surface 1411 and a blocking protrusion 1412. The blocking protrusion 1412 protrudes longitudinally from the blocking surface 1411, so the blocking surface 1411 is an annular surface. A sealing gasket installation position 1413 is provided on the blocking surface 1411, and the sealing gasket 143 is accommodated on the sealing gasket installation position 1413. A sealing ring installation position 1414 is provided on the blocking protrusion 1412, and the sealing ring 144 is accommodated on the sealing ring installation position 1414.

[0053] Correspondingly, a limiting member 112 is arranged in the visible window 111 of the metal shell 110. The limiting member 112 is an annular surface that protrudes laterally from the visible window 111. When the transparent member 141 is installed into the visible window 111, the blocking surface 1411 of the transparent member 141 contacts the limiting member 112, and the blocking protrusion 1412 extends into the through hole formed by the limiting member 112. The sealing ring 144 blocks the gap between the limiting member 112 and the blocking protrusion 1412, and the sealing gasket 143 blocks the gap between the limiting member 112 and the blocking surface 1411, thereby achieving a double sealing effect.
