Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressor filtration technology, specifically an air compressor intake cooling and filtration device. Background Technology

[0002] An intake cooling and filtration device is used to ensure the purity of compressed gas. Therefore, a filter structure is added to the intake end of the air compressor to filter the input air and cool the air to reduce the energy consumption of the air compressor. However, existing devices have certain drawbacks. For example, CN219974741U describes an intake filtration structure for an air compressor, which includes a housing, an intake valve arranged in the middle of the bottom end of the housing, a top cover connected to the upper end of the housing, a protrusion built into the bottom end of the housing, an outlet valve fixed in the middle of the upper end of the top cover, a silencer pipe installed inside the outlet valve, and a gas flow valve arranged around the outlet valve.

[0003] Although the above-mentioned device is equipped with a flow valve, it does not cool the intake air during actual use, which increases the energy consumption of the air compressor. In addition, some existing technologies use multi-layer filter media, and the filter media on the lower side is more easily clogged by dust than the filter media on the upper side. If they are cleaned at the same time, the upper filter media that does not need to be cleaned will be removed, making the cleaning process less flexible. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air compressor intake cooling and filtration device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An air compressor intake cooling and filtering device includes a soundproof housing, a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the upper surface of the soundproof housing, a mounting frame movably connected to the front surface of the soundproof housing, and a dustproof net fixedly connected to the inner surface of the mounting frame.

[0007] A cooling module is movably connected to the front surface of the soundproof housing. The cooling module includes a cooling rack, which is embedded in the inner surface of the soundproof housing. A coil is embedded in the front surface of the cooling rack.

[0008] A filter module is embedded in the side surface of the soundproof housing. The filter module includes a rotating shaft that is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the soundproof housing. A filter cylinder is embedded in the side surface of the soundproof housing, and the filter cylinder and the rotating shaft are nested together.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of connecting pipes is three, and one end of each connecting pipe is rotatably connected to a connector.

[0010] Furthermore, the cooling module also includes a cooling plate, a contact groove, and fins. The cooling plate is detachably connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the cooling rack. A groove is provided on both sides of the cooling rack. The cooling rack is slidably connected to the sound insulation shell through the groove. The contact groove is provided on the adjacent surfaces of the two cooling plates. The contact groove matches the coil. A through hole is provided on the upper surface of the cooling plate. The fins are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cooling plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting frame has two grooves on its two side surfaces, and the mounting frame is slidably connected to the soundproof shell through the two grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, the filter module also includes a spiral blade, a threaded cylinder, and a plug hole. The spiral blade is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, the threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to the side surface of the sound insulation housing, and the plug hole is opened at one end of the threaded cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating shaft contacts the inner surface of the filter cylinder through helical blades.

[0014] Preferably, an insertion block is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft at the corresponding position of the insertion hole.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] During cooling, the outside air comes into contact with the fins on the cooling plate. The fins increase the heat exchange area and improve the cooling efficiency of the device. In addition, the coil is connected to the external water circulation equipment, and the water flow carries away the heat on the cooling plate. The cooling plate is tightly connected to the coil through the contact groove. The two cooling plates are detachably connected by the threaded assembly. The through hole allows air to pass through the cooling module to cool the air and reduce the energy consumption of the air compressor.

[0017] By using the insertion hole and inserting block to rotate the shaft, while holding the filter cartridge in place with the other hand, rotating the shaft causes the spiral blades to scrape the inside of the filter cartridge, transporting the dust inside to the outside. Similarly, the filter cartridge can be manually rotated to adjust its angle, allowing for manual cleaning through the opening in the soundproof housing. The filter cartridge can also be pulled out directly for replacement, facilitating disassembly and providing multiple cleaning options. Users can rotate the filter cartridge according to their actual needs, increasing flexibility during cleaning. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, an air compressor intake cooling and filtering device includes a sound insulation housing 2, a connecting pipe 201 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sound insulation housing 2, an installation frame 4 movably connected to the front surface of the sound insulation housing 2, and a dustproof net 402 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the installation frame 4.

[0025] A cooling module 3 is embedded and movably connected to the front surface of the soundproof housing 2. The cooling module 3 includes a cooling rack 301, which is embedded and connected to the inner surface of the soundproof housing 2. A coil 303 is embedded and connected to the front surface of the cooling rack 301.

[0026] A filter module 5 is embedded in the side surface of the soundproof housing 2. The filter module 5 includes a rotating shaft 501, which is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the soundproof housing 2. A filter cylinder 503 is embedded in the side surface of the soundproof housing 2, and the filter cylinder 503 and the rotating shaft 501 are nested together.

[0027] Specifically, during use, the soundproof housing 2 is connected to the air inlet of the air compressor head 1 via the connecting pipe 201 and the connector 202. The mounting frame 4 is manually pulled out, and then the dust screen 402 on the mounting frame 4 can be manually cleaned. The dust screen 402 can perform secondary filtration of the gas in the soundproof housing 2. During cooling, the outside air comes into contact with the fins 307 on the cooling plate 304. The fins 307 increase the heat exchange area and improve the cooling efficiency of the device. In addition, the coil 303 is connected to the external water circulation equipment, and the heat on the cooling plate 304 is carried away by the water flow. The cooling plate 304 is tightly connected to the coil 303 through the contact groove 305. The two cooling plates 304 are detachably connected by a threaded assembly. The through hole 306 facilitates the passage of air through the cooling module 3.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, there are three connecting pipes 201. One end of the connecting pipe 201 is rotatably connected to a connector 202. The two sides of the mounting frame 4 are provided with grooves 401. The mounting frame 4 is slidably connected to the sound insulation shell 2 through the grooves 401.

[0030] In this embodiment, when in use, the soundproof housing 2 is connected to the air inlet of the air compressor head 1 through the connecting pipe 201 and the connector 202. The mounting frame 4 is manually pulled out, and then the dust screen 402 on the mounting frame 4 can be manually cleaned. The dust screen 402 can perform secondary filtration of the gas in the soundproof housing 2.

[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the cooling module 3 also includes a cooling plate 304, a contact groove 305, and fins 307. The cooling plate 304 is detachably connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the cooling rack 301. A groove 302 is provided on both sides of the cooling rack 301. The cooling rack 301 is slidably connected to the sound insulation shell 2 through the groove 302. The contact groove 305 is provided on the adjacent surfaces of the two cooling plates 304. The contact groove 305 matches the coil 303. A through hole 306 is provided on the upper surface of the cooling plate 304. The fins 307 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cooling plate 304.

[0032] In this embodiment, during cooling, the outside air comes into contact with the fins 307 on the cooling plate 304. The fins 307 increase the heat exchange area and improve the cooling efficiency of the device. In addition, the coil 303 is connected to an external water circulation device, and the heat on the cooling plate 304 is carried away by the water flow. The cooling plate 304 is tightly connected to the coil 303 through the contact groove 305. The two cooling plates 304 are detachably connected by a threaded assembly. The through hole 306 facilitates the passage of air through the cooling module 3.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to overcome the problem that it is inconvenient to clean the filter module 5 in Embodiment 1.

[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the filter module 5 also includes a spiral blade 502, a threaded cylinder 504, and a plug hole 505. The spiral blade 502 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 501, the threaded cylinder 504 is threadedly connected to the side surface of the sound insulation housing 2, and the plug hole 505 is opened at one end of the threaded cylinder 504. The rotating shaft 501 contacts the inner surface of the filter cylinder 503 through the spiral blade 502, and an insertion block is fixedly connected at one end of the rotating shaft 501 and at the corresponding position of the plug hole 505.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 201 has a pre-installed pipe for connection, which can be connected to an external gas flow valve. When the gas flow is insufficient, it indicates that the filter module 5 needs to be cleaned. During cleaning, the threaded cylinder 504 is manually rotated. Under the push of the thread, the threaded cylinder 504 separates from the sound insulation housing 2. Subsequently, the threaded cylinder 504 is in the following state. Figure 3 As shown, the rotating shaft 501 is rotated through the insertion hole 505 in conjunction with the insertion block, while the filter cylinder 503 is fixed with the other hand. Rotating the rotating shaft 501 causes the spiral blades 502 to scrape the inside of the filter cylinder 503, transporting the dust inside to the outside. Similarly, the filter cylinder 503 can be manually rotated to adjust its angle, allowing for manual cleaning of the filter cylinder 503 from the opening of the soundproof housing 2. The filter cylinder 503 can also be directly pulled out for replacement, facilitating disassembly of the filter cylinder 503 and providing multiple cleaning options. Users can rotate the filter cylinder according to their actual needs, increasing the flexibility during cleaning.
