Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of filter elements, and more specifically, to filter tube connection structures and filter elements. Background Technology
[0002] Metal filter cartridges are widely used, with lengths typically ranging from 5 to 8 meters. However, the standard length of manufactured tubes is approximately 2 to 2.5 meters. Therefore, it is usually necessary to join two or more short filter tubes together to form a longer filter cartridge. Filter cartridges are thin-walled tubular components, and the traditional joining methods are primarily welding and bonding.
[0003] The welding method uses a hot-melt welding process, resulting in high connection strength. However, on-site gas protection at the welding interface is difficult to meet standards, and the welding quality is highly dependent on the skill level of the welding technicians. The work requires high technical expertise, consistency is hard to guarantee, and the filter cartridges are non-removable. For environments with installation height restrictions, longer filter cartridges will struggle to quickly meet usage requirements.
[0004] The adhesive bonding method primarily uses sealant to connect the upper and lower filter tubes, which can be used in lower-temperature installation environments. However, in high-temperature environments, the sealant will powder, lose its sealing effect, fail to meet sealing performance requirements, and the connection strength will also be affected.
[0005] Therefore, there is currently no filter tube connection method that is high in strength, has good sealing effect, and is easy to disassemble and assemble. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a filter tube connection structure and filter element to solve the technical problem that there is no filter tube connection method with high strength, good sealing effect and convenient disassembly and assembly in the prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model first provides a filter tube connection structure, the technical solution of which is as follows:
[0008] A filter tube docking structure for connecting at least two filter tubes, the filter tube docking structure including:
[0009] The upper connector is connected at its upper end to the lower end of the upper filter tube, and the lower end of the upper connector is provided with an upper inner step.
[0010] The lower connector is connected at its lower end to the upper end of the lower filter tube, and the upper end of the lower connector is provided with a lower inner step.
[0011] A threaded sleeve having an upper outer step adapted to an upper inner step and a lower outer step adapted to a lower inner step;
[0012] The upper outer step and the upper inner step are provided with a first threaded mechanism, and the lower outer step and the lower inner step are provided with a second threaded mechanism. The tightening directions of the first threaded mechanism and the second threaded mechanism are opposite.
[0013] Compared with welding and bonding, the filter tube docking structure of this utility model has the following advantages: it adopts a threaded connection, which is simple in structure and low in processing and manufacturing cost; it has high connection strength, good sealing performance, and high reliability; it is easy to operate, and can be quickly disassembled and installed, which is convenient for on-site installation and maintenance, saving construction and maintenance costs, and has a great market advantage in application environments with limited installation height.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above-mentioned filter tube docking structure, a sealing gasket is provided between the top of the upper outer step and the top of the upper inner step, and between the bottom of the lower outer step and the bottom of the lower inner step.
[0015] As a further improvement to the aforementioned filter tube connection structure, the threaded sleeve is also provided with a wrench positioning hole for applying circumferential torque. This reduces workload and increases tightening strength, making it particularly suitable for on-site connection operations where filter element installation space is limited. Preferably, the number of wrench positioning holes is 2 to 8, which facilitates operation.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above-mentioned filter tube connection structure: the length of the first threaded mechanism and / or the second threaded mechanism is 2 to 10 cm. This ensures appropriate connection strength.
[0017] As a further improvement to the aforementioned filter tube connection structure, a locking mechanism is also included. This enhances the connection strength and improves stability during use.
[0018] As a further improvement to the aforementioned filter tube docking structure, the locking mechanism includes threaded through holes on the upper and lower outer steps, grooves on the upper and lower inner steps, and screws adapted to the threaded through holes and grooves. Thus, by inserting the screw into the groove for locking, the structure is simple, easy to operate, and provides a good locking effect, significantly improving stability during use. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the filter tube, simply remove the screw and rotate the screw sleeve in the reverse direction to achieve quick disassembly and replacement of the filter tube, making it convenient, fast, and reliable.
[0019] As a further improvement to the aforementioned filter tube connection structure: the groove is annular, and the threaded through holes and screws are in at least three sets and evenly distributed. This results in more uniform stress distribution and better stability.
[0020] As a further improvement to the aforementioned filter tube connection structure, the distance between the upper and lower outer steps is 1–4 cm. This ensures that the threaded sleeve has high strength.
[0021] As a further improvement to the aforementioned filter tube connection structure: the filter tube includes a filter cylinder made of a porous metal film and an inner support body disposed inside the filter cylinder. Both the upper and lower connectors have a first step adapted to the filter cylinder and a second step adapted to the inner support body. Thus, both the upper and lower connectors fit tightly to the filter tube, further enhancing the strength of the filter tube connection section.
[0022] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model first provides a filter element, the technical solution of which is as follows:
[0023] The filter element includes at least two filter tubes, which are connected using the filter tube docking structure described above.
[0024] It is evident that the filter tube connection structure and filter element structure of this utility model are simple, have low processing and manufacturing costs, and possess high reliability and sealing performance. They can achieve rapid assembly and disassembly between filter tubes, effectively solving the technical problem that there is no high-strength, well-sealed, and detachable filter tube connection method in the existing technology. This has significant market development potential and application prospects.
