Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter technology, specifically to an underwater filter. Background Technology

[0002] Submarine data centers utilize a system where servers are placed in specially designed data chambers filled with cooling fluid, which are then submerged in the seabed. The heat emitted by the servers is absorbed by the cooling fluid, and a heat exchange system—using a power pump—drives cooled seawater through sealed pipes into the cooling fluid, carrying away the heat and thus cooling the servers. Because the seabed contains various marine organisms, rocks, and sediment, the seawater must be filtered before being introduced into the cooling system. The filter plays a crucial role in removing large particles from the water, ensuring that the particle content entering the cooling system does not affect its normal operation.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art discloses a filter including a mounting bracket and two filter screen assemblies mounted on the mounting bracket, as well as a locking assembly mounted on the mounting bracket. When the filter screen assemblies become clogged due to long-term operation, maintenance personnel wearing diving equipment enter the water, open the mating locking connector, and rotate the isolator to expose the gaps between the filter screen assemblies. Maintenance personnel can then directly insert tools between the filter screen assemblies to clean debris from the filter screen assemblies and the spaces between them.

[0004] However, when the filter screen components of the above-mentioned filter need to be cleaned, professional personnel need to go underwater and insert tools directly between the filter screen components to clean the debris on and between the filter screen components. This process is tedious, complicated and costly. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an underwater filter to solve the problem of the cumbersome and complicated process of replacing filter screen components in existing filters.

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an underwater filter, comprising:

[0007] The filter chamber has a through cavity with openings at both ends;

[0008] Two filter screens are respectively installed at the opening end of the filter cavity;

[0009] Several mounting components are respectively fixed to the opening end of the filter cavity, and each of the mounting components is provided with a limiting groove;

[0010] In this embodiment, each of the filter screens is provided with a fixing part, and each of the two ends of the filter cavity is provided with an adapter part. After the side of the filter screen is configured to be inserted into the limiting groove of all the mounting parts at the same end, the fixing part and the adapter part are aligned and fixed.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the filter cavity is cylindrical, and both filter screens are circular and adapted to the filter cavity.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting groove on any of the mounting components is arc-shaped.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the filter cavity has three mounting members at its opening end, and the three mounting members and the fixing part are distributed at equal intervals relative to the edge of the filter screen.

[0014] In one optional embodiment, the fixing part is on the same plane as the filter screen, and the fixing part is a block-shaped structure protruding from the side of the filter screen.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, both the fixing part and the adapter part are provided with fixing holes.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, a mounting flange is provided on the outer wall of the filter chamber.

[0017] In one optional embodiment, the filter cavity has two mounting feet on its outer side wall, and the two mounting feet are located on the same side of the filter cavity.

[0018] In one alternative embodiment, an electrical installation flange is provided on the outer wall of the filter chamber for installing an anti-fouling device.

[0019] In one optional embodiment, the filter cavity is made of metal, and an anode block is fixed on the outer wall of the filter cavity;

[0020] Alternatively, the filter cavity may be made of a non-metallic material.

[0021] The underwater filter provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0022] This utility model provides an underwater filter, including a filter cavity, two filter screens, and several mounting components. The filter cavity has a through cavity with openings at opposite ends. The two filter screens are respectively installed at the opening ends of the through cavities of the filter cavity. Several mounting components are respectively fixed to the opening ends of the through cavities of the filter cavity, and each mounting component has a limiting groove. Each filter screen has a fixing part, and each end of the filter cavity has an adapter part. After the side of the filter screen is configured to be inserted into the limiting grooves of all the mounting components at the same end, the fixing part and the adapter part are aligned and fixed.

[0023] This underwater filter uses an upper limit groove on the mounting bracket to initially secure the filter screen. The filter screen is inserted into the upper limit groove by insertion, making installation simple and facilitating subsequent removal of the filter screen. The filter screen is fully secured simply by connecting the fixing part on the filter screen to the adapter part on the filter chamber. When cleaning is required, simply separate the fixing part on the filter screen from the adapter part on the filter chamber, and then the filter screen can be directly pulled out from the mounting bracket. This method is convenient and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Example

[0040] This embodiment provides an underwater filter, such as Figure 1 As shown, the filter includes a filter chamber 1, two filter screens 2, and several mounting parts 3. The filter chamber 1 has a through cavity with openings at opposite ends. The two filter screens 2 are respectively installed at the opening ends of the through cavities of the filter chamber 1. Several mounting parts 3 are respectively fixed to the opening ends of the through cavities of the filter chamber 1. Each mounting part 3 is provided with a limiting groove. Each filter screen 2 is provided with a fixing part 4. Both ends of the filter chamber 1 are provided with adapter parts 5. After the side of the filter screen 2 is configured to be inserted into the limiting grooves of all mounting parts 3 at the same end, the fixing part 4 and the adapter part 5 are aligned and fixed.

[0041] In the above structure, the filter chamber 1 has a through cavity with openings at both ends. Two filter screens 2 are respectively installed at the openings at both ends of the filter chamber 1. Multiple mounting parts 3 are fixed at both openings of the through cavity inside the filter chamber 1, and each mounting part 3 has a limiting groove. When installing the filter screen 2, the side of the filter screen 2 is inserted into the limiting grooves of all the mounting parts 3 at the same end of the filter chamber 1, thereby initially fixing the filter screen 2. Then, the fixing part 4 on the filter screen 2 is aligned with the fitting part 5 on the filter chamber 1, and the fixing part 4 and the fitting part 5 are fixed together, thereby completely fixing the filter screen 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, the filter screen 2 is initially fixed by the upper limit groove of the mounting part 3. The filter screen 2 is inserted into the upper limit groove of the mounting part 3 by insertion. The installation steps are simple and convenient for subsequent disassembly of the filter screen 2. The filter screen 2 can be completely fixed by simply fixing the fixing part 4 on the filter screen 2 to the adapter part 5 on the filter cavity 1. When it is necessary to disassemble the filter screen 2 for cleaning, simply separate the fixing part 4 on the filter screen 2 from the adapter part 5 on the filter cavity 1, and then the filter screen 2 can be directly pulled out from the mounting part 3. This method is convenient and fast.

[0043] In this embodiment, the filter chamber 1 is cylindrical, and both filter screens 2 are circular and adapted to the filter chamber 1. By making the filter chamber 1 cylindrical, there are no dead corners inside, making it very convenient to inspect and clean the interior after the filter screens 2 are removed.

[0044] In this embodiment, the limiting groove on any of the mounting components 3 is arc-shaped. Since both filter screens 2 in this embodiment are circular and adapted to the filter cavity 1, the limiting groove on the mounting component 3 is arc-shaped in order to better fit the edge of the filter screen 2 and adapt to the shape of the filter screen 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the filter chamber 1 has three mounting pieces 3 at its opening. These three mounting pieces 3 and the fixing part 4 are evenly spaced relative to the edge of the filter screen 2. By providing three mounting pieces 3 and evenly spaced relative to the edge of the filter screen 2, the filter screen 2 can be more stably fixed. This prevents gaps from forming between the edge of the filter screen 2 and the end of the filter chamber 1 due to excessively large gaps between adjacent mounting pieces 3, which would affect the filtration effect of the filter screen 2.

[0046] Of course, the number of installation components 3 can also be set to other numbers, such as four, five or six, depending on the specific usage requirements.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing part 4 and the filter screen 2 are on the same plane, and the fixing part 4 is a block structure protruding from the side of the filter screen 2. Correspondingly, the adapter part 5 is also a block structure protruding from the surface of the filter cavity 1. After the side of the filter screen 2 is inserted into the limiting groove of all the mounting parts 3 at the same end, the fixing part 4 and the adapter part 5 are aligned and fixed.

[0048] In this embodiment, both the fixing part 4 and the adapter part 5 are provided with fixing holes. After inserting the side of the filter screen 2 into the limiting groove of all the mounting parts 3 at the same end, the through holes on the fixing part 4 and the adapter part 5 are aligned, and then the bolts or other columnar parts are inserted into the fixing holes on the fixing part 4 and the adapter part 5 to complete the fixing of the fixing part 4 and the adapter part 5.

[0049] In this embodiment, a mounting flange 6 is provided on the outer wall of the filter chamber 1, and two mounting feet 7 are provided on the outer wall of the filter chamber 1, with the two mounting feet 7 located on the same side of the filter chamber 1. In this embodiment, only one mounting flange 6 is needed to achieve the docking and installation of the underwater filter and pipeline, which is convenient to operate. Two mounting feet 7 are provided on the filter chamber 1 to accommodate different installation height requirements.

[0050] In this embodiment, an electrical device mounting flange 8 is provided on the outer wall of the filter chamber 1. A detection device or anti-fouling device, such as electrode anti-fouling or a UV lamp, can be installed via the electrical device mounting flange 8 as needed. One or more electrical device mounting flanges 8 can be located in various directions of the filter chamber 1. Underwater maintenance of the entire underwater filter will not affect the normal operation of the above-mentioned devices, and internal inspection and maintenance can be performed when the filter screen 2 is open.

[0051] In this embodiment, the filter chamber 1 is cylindrical, and the two filter screens 2 are both circular and adapted to the filter chamber 1, which can ensure the strength of the entire filter and provide more flexible space for the installation of electrical devices.

[0052] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the filter chamber 1 is made of metal, and an anode block 9 is fixed on the outer wall of the filter chamber 1. By setting the anode block 9, the anode block 9 has a corrosion-resistant function, which can ensure long-term use underwater. The corrosion-resistant function of the anode block 9 is existing technology, and it is used directly in this embodiment, so its principle will not be described in detail.

[0053] Alternatively, the filter chamber 1 can be made of non-metallic materials such as fiberglass, in which case the anode block 9 is not installed.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
