[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil filter processing technology, specifically to an improved pressing mechanism for oil filter processing. Background Technology

[0002] The oil filter is a key component in the lubrication system of a car engine. Its main function is to remove impurities, metal particles and other contaminants from the oil to keep the oil clean, thereby protecting the internal parts of the engine from wear and damage.

[0003] An oil filter consists of a housing, a filter element, and end caps. During the manufacturing process, the filter element needs to be placed inside the housing and then the end caps are pressed onto the housing. However, existing pressing devices feed the filter element one by one during pressing, which requires manual removal at the workstation after pressing, resulting in idle strokes and reduced pressing efficiency. To address this, we propose an improved pressing mechanism for oil filter processing. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an improved pressing mechanism for processing oil filters, including a worktable 1, a support base 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the worktable 1, a pressing mechanism 3 fixedly installed at the top of the worktable 1, a feeding mechanism 4 on the worktable 1 for moving the filter to below the pressing mechanism 3, a feeding mechanism 5 rotatably connected to the worktable 1 for pushing the pressed filter out, a driving mechanism 6 on the top of the worktable 1 and on one side of the feeding mechanism 5 for driving the feeding mechanism 5 to rotate, and a resetting mechanism 7 on the top of the worktable 1 and on the other side of the feeding mechanism 5 for driving the feeding mechanism 5 to reset.

[0020] The feeding mechanism 4 can move the material to the pressing mechanism 3 for the pressing step. After the pressing is completed, the feeding mechanism 4 can drive multiple sets of materials to move synchronously and unload them on one side of the pressing mechanism 3. It can also move another set of materials that need to be pressed back to the bottom of the pressing mechanism 3, preventing the empty stroke caused by manual material handling. When the feeding mechanism 4 is working, it can drive the drive mechanism 6 to operate synchronously. The drive mechanism 6 drives the unloading mechanism 5 to swing, so that the material after pressing is automatically unloaded. After the unloading is completed, the reset mechanism 7 can drive the unloading mechanism 5 to reset and prepare for the next unloading step. This pressing mechanism has a high degree of automation and increases the pressing efficiency to a certain extent.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The feeding mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 11, a first rotating shaft 12, a feeding disc 13, a positioning groove 14, and a limiting plate 15. The drive motor 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the worktable 1. The output end of the drive motor 11 is fixedly installed with the feeding disc 13 through the first rotating shaft 12. Multiple sets of positioning grooves 14 are opened on the outer wall of the feeding disc 13. The limiting plate 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the worktable 1.

[0022] The external conveying mechanism transports the housing into the positioning groove 14, and then the drive motor 11 operates. The drive motor 11 drives the first rotating shaft 12 and the feeding plate 13 to rotate, so that the material inside the positioning groove 14 can move along the limiting plate 15, and thus move the material to the pressure mechanism 3 for the pressing step.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pressure applying mechanism 3 includes a first support frame 8, a drive cylinder 9, and a pressing plate 10. The first support frame 8 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1. The drive cylinder 9 is fixedly installed on the first support frame 8 at the position corresponding to the positioning groove 14. The output end of the drive cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 10.

[0024] When the material moves to the bottom of the pressure mechanism 3, the drive cylinder 9 operates, and the drive cylinder 9 moves the pressing plate 10 down, which can press the shell and the end cap together.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The feeding mechanism 5 includes a first rotating seat 16, a first connecting rod 17, a connecting block 18, a feeding rod 19, and a driving rod 20. The top of the workbench 1 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 17 via the first rotating seat 16. The top of the first connecting rod 17 is fixedly mounted with the connecting block 18. The feeding rod 19 and the driving rod 20 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the connecting block 18, respectively. The driving mechanism 6 includes a second rotating shaft 21, a driving wheel 22, a first sprocket 23, a second sprocket 24, and a connecting chain 25. The top of the workbench 1 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 21. The top of the second rotating shaft 21 is fixedly mounted with an elliptical driving wheel 22. The outside of the second rotating shaft 21 is fixedly mounted with the first sprocket 23. The outside of the first rotating shaft 12 is fixedly mounted with the second sprocket 24. The first sprocket 23 and the second sprocket 24 are connected by the connecting chain 25.

[0026] When the drive motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, it can simultaneously drive the second sprocket 24 and the connecting chain 25 to rotate. Then, it can drive the second rotating shaft 21, the first sprocket 23 and the elliptical drive wheel 22 to rotate. In this way, the elliptical drive wheel 22 can push the feeding rod 19 and the drive rod 20 to rotate along the first connecting rod 17 and the connecting block 18. This allows the drive rod 20 to push the material inside the positioning groove 14 to complete the automatic feeding step.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The reset mechanism 7 includes a limiting rod 26, a mounting plate 27, a reset wheel 28, a spring 29, and a second support frame 30. Two sets of limiting rods 26 are slidably connected to the second support frame 30. The mounting plate 27 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting rod 26, and the reset wheel 28 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate 27. A spring 29 is fixedly installed on one side of the second support frame 30 and outside the limiting rods 26. One end of the spring 29 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 27.

[0028] When the elliptical drive wheel 22 continues to rotate, the spring 29 can push the mounting plate 27 and the reset wheel 28 forward, thereby pushing the feed rod 19 and the drive rod 20 to rotate and reset along the first connecting rod 17 and the connecting block 18. This prevents the feed rod 19 from blocking the material inside the rear set of positioning grooves 14 from moving forward.

[0029] In use, the feeding mechanism 4 first moves the material to the pressing mechanism 3 for pressing. After pressing, the feeding mechanism 4 drives multiple sets of materials to move synchronously, feeding them to one side of the pressing mechanism 3 and moving another set of materials to be pressed back to the bottom of the pressing mechanism 3, preventing empty strokes caused by manual material handling. While the feeding mechanism 4 is working, it can simultaneously drive the drive mechanism 6, which in turn drives the unloading mechanism 5 to swing, automatically unloading the pressed material. After unloading, the reset mechanism 7 resets the unloading mechanism 5 to prepare for the next unloading step. This pressing mechanism has a high degree of automation and increases pressing efficiency to some extent. An external conveying mechanism transports the housing to the positioning groove 14, and then the drive motor 11 operates, driving the first rotating shaft 12 and the feeding disc 13 to rotate. This allows the material inside the positioning groove 14 to move along the limiting plate 15, thus moving the material to the pressing mechanism 3. The pressing mechanism 3 performs a pressing step. After the material moves to the area below the pressing mechanism 3, the drive cylinder 9 operates, causing the pressing plate 10 to move downwards. This allows the housing and end cap to be pressed together. When the drive motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, it can simultaneously drive the second sprocket 24 and the connecting chain 25 to rotate. Subsequently, it can drive the second rotating shaft 21, the first sprocket 23, and the elliptical drive wheel 22 to rotate. The elliptical drive wheel 22 can then push the feeding rod 19 and the drive rod 20 to rotate along the first connecting rod 17 and the connecting block 18. This allows the drive rod 20 to push the material inside the positioning groove 14 to complete the automatic feeding step. When the elliptical drive wheel 22 continues to rotate, the spring 29 can push the mounting plate 27 and the reset wheel 28 to move forward, thereby pushing the feeding rod 19 and the drive rod 20 to rotate and reset along the first connecting rod 17 and the connecting block 18. This prevents the feeding rod 19 from blocking the material inside the rear set of positioning grooves 14 from moving forward.
