[0004] Furthermore, traditional pressing equipment cannot provide sufficient and precise adjustment of the pressing force. Since the materials and sizes of filter element components may differ, different pressing forces are required to ensure that they can be tightly and uniformly bonded together. However, traditional pressing equipment often cannot provide this precise force adjustment, resulting in poor pressing effect and potential gaps or damage between filter element components. Utility Model Content

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0024] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0025] This utility model embodiment provides filter element assembly equipment, such as... Figure 1-5As shown, the assembly includes an assembly frame 1; a conveyor belt 2 disposed within the assembly frame 1, the conveyor belt 2 being aligned with the length direction of the assembly frame 1; and a set of assembly mechanisms disposed beside the assembly frame 1. The assembly mechanisms include: a fixed base 3 disposed beside the assembly frame 1; a connecting frame 4 disposed on the fixed base 3, the connecting frame 4 extending to the upper part of the conveyor belt 2 and connected to a receiving bracket 5; a transverse lead screw slide 6 disposed on the bottom side of the receiving bracket 5; a longitudinal lead screw slide 7 disposed at the moving end of the transverse lead screw slide 6, the longitudinal lead screw slide 7 being perpendicular to the transverse lead screw slide 6; a mounting base 8 disposed at the moving end of the longitudinal lead screw slide 7; a first electric push rod 9 disposed on the bottom side of the mounting base 8; a receiving block 10 disposed at the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 9, a return spring 11 disposed on the side of the receiving block 10 away from the first electric push rod 9, the return spring 11 containing a damper; and a pressing plate 12 disposed at the bottom of the return spring 11.

[0026] It should be noted that in the traditional filter element assembly process, the position adjustment of components before pressing is not timely and precise, which easily leads to positional deviation and pressing errors, affecting the overall quality and stability. At the same time, the pressing force cannot be fully and precisely adjusted. Due to the differences in the material and size of the filter element components, traditional equipment is unable to provide a suitable pressing force, resulting in poor pressing effect and potential gaps or damage between filter element components. This solution, through high-precision assembly technology and comprehensive automated control, realizes the automated control of a series of steps, from conveying filter element components by the conveyor belt 2, to the precise adjustment of the assembly mechanism, to the precise positioning and limiting of the limit plate 17, and the precise pressing of the pressing plate 12. This automated production method not only significantly improves production efficiency and reduces errors and time consumption of manual operation, but also reduces production costs. At the same time, the equipment also ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the assembly process through the adjustment and protection functions of components such as the connecting spring 18 and the flexible pad 19, as well as the stabilizing guidance function of the guide rod 13 and the sliding sleeve 14, further improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the solution mainly includes an assembly frame 1; the equipment continuously transports the filter element components through the conveyor belt 2 inside the assembly frame 1; a set of assembly mechanisms is provided on the side of the conveyor belt 2 to complete the assembly of the filter element.

[0028] The core components of the assembly mechanism include a fixed base 3, a connecting frame 4, a receiving bracket 5, a transverse lead screw slide 6, a longitudinal lead screw slide 7, a mounting base 8, a first electric push rod 9, a receiving block 10, a return spring 11, and a pressing plate 12; these components work together to achieve precise assembly of filter element parts.

[0029] Specifically, when the filter element is properly placed between the upper and lower covers and transported to the preset position by the conveyor belt 2, the transverse lead screw slide 6 and the longitudinal lead screw slide 7 will use their built-in motors to drive the moving ends, thereby precisely adjusting the position of the mounting base 8 to ensure that the pressing plate 12 can be accurately aligned with the filter element components; then, the first electric push rod 9 will be activated, pushing the receiving block 10 and the pressing plate 12 to move downward together, applying appropriate pressure to the filter element components, so that they are tightly combined with the upper and lower covers;

[0030] During the pressing process, the return spring 11 and the damper play a key buffering role, which can ensure that the pressing force is kept within an appropriate range and effectively prevent the filter element components from being damaged due to excessive force. At the same time, the design of the pressing plate 12 also fully considers the need for tight fit between the filter element components, ensuring that a complete and structurally stable filter element can be formed after pressing.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the assembly mechanism further includes: a set of guide rods 13 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the mounting base 8, the guide rods 13 being arranged in the vertical direction; and a set of sliding sleeves 14 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the receiving block 10, the two sliding sleeves 14 being in sliding fit with the adjacent guide rods 13.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first electric push rod 9 is activated, pushing the receiving block 10 and the pressing plate 12 downward. During this process, the combination of the guide rod 13 and the sliding sleeve 14 provides a stable guiding effect for the receiving block 10, ensuring the smooth movement of the receiving block 10 in the vertical direction and ensuring that the receiving block 10 and the pressing plate 12 can move smoothly and accurately along the predetermined path, thereby realizing the precise assembly of the filter element components.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the assembly frame 1 has two sets of mounting side plates 15 symmetrically located in front of the two pressing plates 12. Each set of mounting side plates 15 has a second electric push rod 16 on its opposite side, and each set of the second electric push rod 16 has a limit plate 17 at its telescopic end.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the filter element components are transported to the designated position and before the pressing plate 12 is ready to press and assemble, the second electric push rod 16 pushes the limiting plate 17 closer to the filter element components through telescopic movement, thereby achieving precise positioning and limiting of the filter element components. This step ensures that the filter element components can maintain a relatively accurate conveying path before the pressing process, and there will be no offset or misalignment.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the cross-section of the limiting plate 17 is arranged in an arc shape.

[0036] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped limiting plate 17 design ensures a closer fit with the contact surface of the filter element components. Since the outer wall of the filter element has a certain curvature, the traditional flat limiting plate 17 may not be able to match it perfectly, resulting in gaps or instability during assembly. However, the arc-shaped limiting plate 17 can fit tightly with the curved surface of the filter element components, thereby effectively reducing shaking and misalignment during assembly.

[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of connecting springs 18 are provided on the outer side of the limiting plate 17, a damper is provided inside the connecting spring 18, and a flexible pad 19 is provided on the side of the plurality of connecting springs 18 away from the limiting plate 17.

[0038] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 17 contacts the filter element components at a smooth and slow speed through the adjustment of the connecting spring 18 and the damper. At this time, the flexible pad 19 contacts the filter element components first, playing a protective and buffering role. Under the combined action of the connecting spring 18 and the damper, the limiting plate 17 maintains close contact with the filter element components and ensures the accuracy and stability of the assembly.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, a position sensor 20 (4000TDGN-15-01-01) is provided on the side wall of the mounting side plate 15.

[0040] In this embodiment, the position sensor 20 not only monitors the position of the filter element components, but also precisely controls the assembly mechanism, such as the pressing plate 12 and the limiting plate 17. By receiving the signal from the position sensor 20, the position and speed of the assembly mechanism can be adjusted in a timely manner to ensure the precise assembly of the filter element components.

[0041] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, a pressure sensor 21 (3408583) is provided on the pressing plate 12.

[0042] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 21 can monitor the pressure applied by the pressing plate 12 to the filter element components in real time, ensuring that the pressure value fluctuates within a preset range, thereby avoiding damage to the filter element due to excessive pressure or loose assembly due to insufficient pressure.

[0043] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the pressing disc 12 is made of elastic rubber.

[0044] In this embodiment, the elastic rubber pressing disc 12 also has a certain buffering and shock absorption function. During the assembly process, when the pressing disc 12 comes into contact with the filter element components, it can absorb and disperse the impact force, protecting the filter element components from damage.

[0045] Working principle: First, when the filter element components are properly placed between the upper and lower covers and transported to the preset position by the conveyor belt 2, the second electric push rod 16 on the mounting side plate 15 also starts working; through telescopic movement, the second electric push rod 16 pushes the arc-shaped limiting plate 17 closer to the filter element components, realizing precise positioning and limiting of the filter element components; the arc-shaped limiting plate 17 design ensures a closer fit with the contact surface of the filter element components, effectively reducing shaking and misalignment during assembly; before the limiting plate 17 contacts the filter element components, the connecting spring 18 and damper play an adjusting role; they bring the limiting plate 17 into contact with the filter element components at a smooth and slow speed, at which time the flexible pad 19 contacts the filter element components first, playing a protective and buffering role;

[0046] A set of assembly mechanisms is set on the side of the conveyor belt 2, which is responsible for assembling the filter element. After the position is accurately aligned, the transverse lead screw slide 6 and the longitudinal lead screw slide 7 start to work. They use the built-in motor to drive the moving end and precisely adjust the position of the mounting seat 8 to ensure that the pressing plate 12 can be accurately aligned with the filter element components.

[0047] Subsequently, the first electric push rod 9 starts working; it pushes the receiving block 10 and the pressing plate 12 to move downward together, applying appropriate pressure to the filter element components so that they are tightly combined with the upper and lower covers; in this process, the combination of the guide rod 13 and the sliding sleeve 14 provides a stable guiding effect for the receiving block 10, ensuring that the receiving block 10 and the pressing plate 12 can move smoothly and accurately along the predetermined path;

[0048] Meanwhile, the pressure sensor 21 on the pressing plate 12 monitors the pressure applied by the pressing plate 12 to the filter element components in real time; by receiving the signal from the pressure sensor 21, the control system can adjust the pressure value of the pressing plate 12 in a timely manner to ensure that the pressure fluctuates within the preset range, thereby avoiding damage to the filter element due to excessive pressure or loose assembly due to insufficient pressure.

[0049] In addition, the position sensor 20 also plays an important role; it not only monitors the position of the filter element components, but also precisely controls the movement of the pressing plate 12, the limiting plate 17, etc., to ensure the precise assembly of the filter element components.
