Abstract

[0002] Compressed air, or air compressed by an external force, is the second largest energy source after electricity, with applications spanning the petroleum, chemical, and metallurgical sectors. Unfortunately, compressed air often contains impurities such as water and oil. Directly feeding this compressed air into pneumatic systems can damage pneumatic devices, significantly reducing the reliability and service life of the system. Therefore, compressed air must be pre-treated with a compression filter before use. However, traditional compressed air filters typically use a wire mesh structure to directly intercept and filter impurities in the compressed air, resulting in a monotonous and ineffective filter.

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] The present invention provides a compressed air filter device. Figure 1-Figure 4 The compressed air filter device includes a filter cartridge and a vent pipe.
[0046] Specifically,
[0047] The filter cartridge is divided into a lower filter cartridge 10 and an upper filter cartridge 11 from bottom to top. The lower filter cartridge 10 is used to separate oil from the air, and the upper filter cartridge 11 is used to dry the air.
[0048] The lower filter cartridge 10 is a cylindrical structure with a sealed bottom.
[0049] The upper filter cartridge 11 is threadedly connected to the top of the lower filter cartridge 10. The upper filter cartridge 11 is a cylindrical structure with sealed ends at both ends, including an inner cylinder 115 and an outer cylinder 114. A flow space 112 is left between the inner cylinder 115 and the outer cylinder 114, and the flow space 112 is connected to the lower filter cartridge 10, wherein,
[0050] Inner cylinder 115 is filled with adsorbent particles, such as silica gel particles, to remove moisture from the air. A mounting plate 113 is threadedly connected to the bottom of inner cylinder 115 to seal it. An air outlet pipe 110 is located at the top of inner cylinder 115. A flow guide 111 is connected to the top of outer cylinder 114. One end of this flow guide 111 communicates with circulation space 112, and the other end communicates with inner cylinder 115. This flow guide 111 directs air from circulation space 112 to inner cylinder 115.
[0051] Preferably, a plurality of flow guide tubes 111 connected to the top of the outer cylinder 114 are arranged along the circumference of the outer cylinder 114 , and each flow guide tube 111 may be a U-shaped tube.
[0052] Preferably, the upper filter cartridge 11 is transparent for easy observation, allowing the color of the silica gel particles to be used to determine whether the silica gel particles have reached saturation in their adsorption and drying capacity. When the silica gel particles in the inner cartridge 115 reach saturation in their adsorption capacity, the upper filter cartridge 11 can be removed from the lower filter cartridge 10, and the mounting plate 113 can be removed from the upper filter cartridge 11, allowing the silica gel particles in the inner cartridge 115 to be replaced.
[0053] The ventilation pipe 2 is sequentially passed through the inner cylinder 115 and the lower filter cylinder 10 from top to bottom. The ventilation pipe 2 includes a fixed pipe 20 and a rotating pipe.
[0054] The fixed tube 20 is a straight tube, the top end of which is used for air input and exposed outside the upper filter cartridge 11 , and the bottom end of which extends into the inner tube 115 of the upper filter cartridge 11 .
[0055] The rotating pipe includes a transition pipe portion 21, a liquid collecting pipe portion 22, and a drive assembly. The transition pipe portion 21 is a tubular structure whose diameter gradually increases from the top end to the bottom end, and a filter hole group 210 is provided on the side wall of the transition pipe portion 21. The inner wall of the liquid collecting pipe portion 22 is provided with protrusions 24 along the circumferential direction. The liquid collecting pipe portion 22 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the transition pipe portion 21 and extends to the outside of the lower filter barrel 10. The bottom end of the liquid collecting pipe portion 22 is used to output the oil in the air and is provided with a discharge valve 23. The transition pipe portion 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed pipe 20 so that the bottom end of the fixed pipe 20 extends into the liquid collecting pipe portion 22. The drive assembly includes a driven gear 30 and a driving gear 31. The driven gear 30 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the liquid collecting pipe portion 22 exposed to the lower filter barrel 10. The driving gear 31 is provided to mesh with the above-mentioned driven gear 30, and the driving gear 31 is equipped with a motor 32. The motor 32 drives the driving gear 31 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 30 to rotate, thereby driving the liquid collecting pipe portion 22 to rotate.
[0056] When air flows from the fixed pipe 20 to the liquid collecting pipe portion 22, a vortex is formed in the air as the liquid collecting pipe portion 22 rotates. Combined with the action of the protrusion 24 provided in the liquid collecting pipe portion 22, the oil in the air can be quickly separated and flows toward the output port of the liquid collecting pipe portion. At the same time, the separated air flows upward to the transition pipe portion 21 and passes through the filter holes and flows into the flow space 112 of the upper filter cartridge 11.
[0057] The frame includes a ring frame 40, a support frame 41, and a base 42. The ring frame 40 is mounted on the outer wall of the lower filter cartridge 10. One end of the support frame 41 is fixed to the outer wall of the ring frame 40, and the other end extends downward to be mounted on the base 42. The motor 32 is also mounted on the top of the base 42.
[0058] Based on the above embodiments, the working principle of this application is as follows:
[0059] Close discharge valve 23 and start motor 32. Air flowing from fixed pipe 20 to rotating pipe forms a swirling flow in liquid collecting pipe section 22, separating the oil from the air and flowing toward the bottom of the collecting pipe section. Simultaneously, the separated air flows upward to transition pipe section 21, passes through the filter holes, and continues upward to flow space 112. It is then directed through guide pipe 111 to inner drum 115 for drying. Furthermore, discharge valve 23 is periodically opened to discharge the oil accumulated at the bottom of collecting pipe section 22.
[0060] Based on the above embodiments, the advantages of this application are:
[0061] The rotation of the liquid collecting tube portion 22 with the protrusion 24 therein relative to the vent pipe 2 facilitates the rapid separation of oil from the air flowing into the liquid collecting tube portion 22, and the separated air can continue to flow upward to the inner cylinder 115 for drying, which is beneficial to the separation of moisture in the air and improves the air quality of the compressed air.
