[0002] The RFA type direct return oil filter is a commonly used filtration device, mainly used for return oil filtration in hydraulic systems. It features a compact structure and convenient installation, effectively filtering out impurities and particles in the return oil, protecting system components, preventing impurities from entering and causing wear, blockage, and other problems, and ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the hydraulic system. The filter media can generally be selected with different precision specifications according to specific needs, and it is equipped with bypass valves and other components, which can play a certain protective role in the event of filter element blockage, ensuring normal oil circuit operation.

[0003] However, the end caps of traditional RFA-type direct return oil filters are usually threaded to the housing. During installation, the end caps need to be accurately aligned with the threads on the housing and screwed in, which is quite laborious. If the force is uneven, the threads may be mis-threaded, affecting the sealing and firmness of the connection. When disassembling, after a long period of use, oil stains, impurities, or slight rust may accumulate on the threads, making it difficult to screw in, or even damaging the threads. This makes subsequent maintenance and filter replacement inconvenient, increasing the time cost and difficulty of maintenance. Utility Model Content

By using a rotating ring to drive the pressure block to abut against the protrusion on the end cover, the end cover can be quickly fixed. The protrusion has a sloping structure on both sides. As the pressure block rotates towards the center of the protrusion, the contact area between the pressure block and the protrusion gradually increases, thereby making the connection between the end cover and the housing body tighter.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a hydraulic filter housing assembly includes a housing body, an end cap mounted on the top of the housing body via a fixing structure, the fixing structure including a rotating ring, the rotating ring being rotatably connected to the housing body, a plurality of pressure blocks being fixedly connected to the rotating ring, a plurality of protrusions being fixedly connected to the end cap, the pressure blocks abutting against the protrusions, the two sides of the protrusions having an inclined structure, a limiting structure being installed on the rotating ring, the limiting structure including a fixing sleeve, the fixing sleeve being fixedly connected to the rotating ring, a limiting rod being slidably connected inside the fixing sleeve, a limiting hole being formed on the housing body, and the end of the limiting rod engaging with the limiting hole.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-7As shown, a hydraulic filter housing assembly includes a housing body 1. An end cap 3 is mounted on the top of the housing body 1 via a fixing structure 2. The fixing structure 2 includes a rotating ring 201, which is rotatably connected to the housing body 1. Multiple pressure blocks 202 are fixedly connected to the rotating ring 201. Multiple protrusions 203 are fixedly connected to the end cap 3. The pressure blocks 202 abut against the protrusions 203. The two sides of the protrusions 203 are inclined. A limiting structure 4 is installed on the rotating ring 201. The limiting structure 4 includes a fixing sleeve 401, which is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 201. A limiting rod 402 is slidably connected inside the fixing sleeve 401. A limiting hole 403 is opened on the housing body 1. The end of the limiting rod 402 engages with the limiting hole 403. The pressure blocks 202 are L-shaped, and the multiple pressure blocks 202 are arranged in a circumferential array about the middle of the rotating ring 201.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a rubber ring 204 is installed at the bottom of the end cap 3, and the rubber ring 204 abuts against the housing body 1. Since the rubber ring 204 is installed on the end cap 3, when the fixing structure 2 drives the end cap 3 to close with the housing body 1, the rubber ring 204 abuts against the edge of the housing body 1 downwards, thereby improving the sealing between the end cap 3 and the housing body 1 through the rubber ring 204.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an anti-detachment ring 404 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 402, and a spring 405 is fixedly connected between the anti-detachment ring 404 and the fixing sleeve 401. During the rotation of the rotating ring 201, the outer wall of the housing body 1 slides away from the housing body 1 by contacting the limiting rod 402. The limiting rod 402 drives the anti-detachment ring 404 to slide. The anti-detachment ring 404 slides while driving the spring 405 to contract. When the rotating ring 201 rotates to the point where the limiting rod 402 is aligned with the limiting hole 403 on the housing body 1, the spring 405 resets and drives the limiting rod 402 to engage with the limiting hole 403, thereby limiting the rotating ring 201 and further fixing the end cover 3, making the installation of the end cover 3 more stable and secure.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the oil inlet of the housing body 1 is fixedly connected to a first flange 5, and a second flange 6 is installed on the first flange 5 by bolts. The second flange 6 is fixedly connected to the oil inlet pipe 7, and a positioning block 8 is fixedly connected to the second flange 6. A positioning groove 9 is provided on the first flange 5, and the positioning block 8 engages with the positioning groove 9. The positioning block 8 and the positioning groove 9 are both "T" shaped. When installing the oil inlet pipe 7, the positioning block 8 on the second flange 6 is engaged with the positioning groove 9 on the first flange 5 to quickly achieve the initial positioning of the second flange 6 and the oil inlet pipe 7, so that the mounting holes of the second flange 6 are aligned with the mounting holes of the first flange 5, which facilitates the installation of the second flange 6 with bolts. Furthermore, since the positioning block 8 is "T" shaped, it can prevent the positioning block 8 from causing the second flange 6 to slip off from the side of the first flange 5, thereby increasing the stability of the positioning block 8 and making the installation of the second flange 6 more convenient.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a rubber gasket 10 is installed on the second flange 6, and the rubber gasket 10 abuts against the first flange 5; the setting of the rubber gasket 10 increases the sealing between the first flange 5 and the second flange 6, and prevents leakage at the connection between the oil inlet pipe 7 and the housing body 1.

[0029] In use, the end cap 3 is first fitted onto the main body 1 of the housing. Then, the fixing sleeve 401 is held, and the rotating ring 201 is driven to rotate by the fixing sleeve 401. The rotating ring 201 drives the pressure block 202 to rotate, thereby causing the pressure block 202 to contact the protrusion 203, thus quickly fixing the end cap 3. Since the two sides of the protrusion 203 are inclined, as the pressure block 202 rotates towards the center of the protrusion 203, the contact area between the pressure block 202 and the protrusion 203 gradually increases, making the contact between the pressure block 202 and the protrusion 203 more effective. The connection between the end cap 3 and the housing body 1 is tightened, making the connection more secure. During the rotation of the rotating ring 201, the outer wall of the housing body 1 slides away from the limiting rod 402, causing the limiting rod 402 to slide. Simultaneously, the sliding of the anti-detachment ring 404 drives the spring 405 to contract. When the rotating ring 201 rotates to the point where the limiting rod 402 aligns with the limiting hole 403 on the housing body 1, the spring 405 resets and drives the limiting rod 402 to engage with the limiting hole 403, thus achieving the limitation of the rotating ring 201. The positioning of the end cap 3 is further secured, making its installation more stable and secure. Because the end cap 3 is equipped with a rubber ring 204, when the fixing structure 2 drives the end cap 3 to close with the housing body 1, the rubber ring 204 presses downwards against the edge of the housing body 1, thereby improving the sealing between the end cap 3 and the housing body 1. When installing the oil inlet pipe 7, the positioning block 8 on the second flange 6 engages with the positioning groove 9 on the first flange 5, quickly achieving initial positioning of the second flange 6 and the oil inlet pipe 7. This aligns the mounting holes of the second flange 6 with those of the first flange 5, facilitating bolt installation of the second flange 6. Furthermore, the "T"-shaped structure of the positioning block 8 prevents the second flange 6 from slipping from the side of the first flange 5, increasing the stability of the positioning block 8 and making the installation of the second flange 6 more convenient. The rubber gasket 10 increases the sealing between the first flange 5 and the second flange 6, preventing leakage at the connection between the oil inlet pipe 7 and the housing body 1.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
