[0021] Example, refer to Figures 1-3A filter for silicone production includes a filter cartridge 1. An inlet pipe 2 is connected to the outer side of the filter cartridge 1, and the inlet pipe 2 is connected to a pressurizing device to inject liquid silicone into the filter cartridge 1 under pressure. A drain pipe 3 is connected to one end of the filter cartridge 1. A cylindrical support mesh 4 is connected inside the filter cartridge 1, with the end of the cylindrical support mesh 4 facing the drain pipe 3 connected to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 1. A filter mesh layer 5 is disposed outside the cylindrical support mesh 4, and the pore size of the filter mesh layer 5 is selected to be 2-5 μm. Impurities in the silica gel are filtered out by the filter screen layer 5. A slag discharge drum is rotatably connected between the filter cylinder 1 and the filter screen layer 5. The slag discharge drum includes a connecting ring 6, a connecting plate 7 located at the end away from the liquid discharge connection pipe 3, and four spiral scrapers 8 connected between the connecting ring 6 and the connecting plate 7 and covered by the filter screen layer 5. Multiple circumferentially distributed support shafts 9 are connected between the edges of the connecting ring 6 and the connecting plate 7. Each support shaft 9 passes through the spiral scrapers 8. The support shafts 9 increase the strength of the slag discharge drum and prevent deformation during rotation.

[0022] A slag collection trough 10 is provided on the outer side of the filter cylinder 1, communicating with it and extending along its length. The cross-section of the slag collection trough 10 is U-shaped. During the rotation of the spiral scraper 8, the impurities filtered off the surface of the filter screen layer 5 are gradually scraped off and enter the slag collection trough 10 as the spiral scraper 8 rotates. A strip-shaped slag discharge port 11 is provided on the side of the slag collection trough 10 away from the filter cylinder 1, extending along its length. A rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected inside the slag collection trough 10, extending along its length. Four baffles 13 are provided outside the rotating shaft 12, which can be slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the slag collection trough 10. Two baffles 13 are always in contact with the inner wall of the slag collection trough 10. The baffles 13 prevent liquid silica gel from being discharged from the strip-shaped slag discharge port 11 due to pressure. Rotating the rotating shaft 12 drives the baffles to rotate, allowing the impurities between the two baffles 13 to be discharged from the strip-shaped slag discharge port 11.

[0023] A drive housing 14 is provided at the end of the filter cylinder 1 away from the drain connection port 3. The outer side of the connecting plate 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the filter cylinder 1. The connecting plate 7 is connected to a connecting shaft (not shown). The connecting shaft passes through the filter cylinder 1 and extends into the drive housing 14 to connect to a worm gear 15. A first drive motor 16 is installed in the drive housing 14. The power output shaft of the first drive motor 16 is connected to a worm 17 that meshes with the worm gear 15. A second drive motor 18 is installed in the drive housing 14. The power output shaft of the second drive motor 18 is connected to the rotating shaft 12.

[0024] Working principle: Connect the liquid inlet pipe 2 to the pressurizing device to inject liquid silica gel into the filter cylinder 1 under pressure. The liquid silica gel is pressurized and passes through the filter screen layer 5 in the filter cylinder 1, and is finally discharged through the drain pipe 3 in the cylindrical support mesh 4. During the process, the first drive motor 16 drives the slag discharge drum to rotate slowly. The spiral scraper 8 scrapes off the impurities filtered from the surface of the filter screen layer 5 during the rotation and moves with it. After passing through the slag collection tank 10, the impurities are gradually collected in the slag collection tank 10 and located between the two baffles. The second drive motor 18 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate at a certain angle at regular intervals. After the impurities are collected between the two baffles, the shaft rotates to the strip-shaped slag discharge port 11, and the impurities can be discharged from the strip-shaped slag discharge port 11. This intermittent rotation cycle automatically discharges the filtered impurities.
