[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a visual filter includes a housing 1, a filter chamber 101 inside the housing 1, and a filter screen 2 inside the filter chamber 101 for filtering impurities in the liquid. An input channel 102 communicating with the filter chamber 101 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1, and an output channel 103 communicating with the filter chamber 101 is provided at one end of the housing 1. The input channel 102 and the output channel 103 are arranged perpendicularly. An observation hole 104 communicating with the filter chamber 101 is provided at the other end of the housing 1, opposite to the output channel 103. This observation hole 104 allows for confirmation of the cleanliness of the filter screen 2, facilitating timely replacement or cleaning of the filter screen 2. It also allows for the installation of the filter screen 2. A flange 3 is threaded to the outer end face of the observation hole 104, and an observation window 4 is rotatably mounted on the flange 3. Specifically, the observation window 4 is made of a high-strength transparent material, such as tempered borosilicate glass, and is sealed to the flange 3 via a locking mechanism 5. During use, liquid flows into the filter chamber 101 from the input channel 102 and out from the output channel 103. During this process, particulate impurities such as sand and rust in the liquid cannot pass through the filter holes on the filter screen 2 and are therefore filtered out. Most of the impurities settle to the bottom of the filter chamber 101, while a small portion adheres to the filter screen 2. The cleanliness of the liquid in the filter chamber 101 can be observed in a timely manner through the observation window 4, and the filter screen 2 can be replaced as needed to ensure filtration effectiveness. The locking mechanism 5 controls the connection status between the observation window 4 and the flange 3.
[0021] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 5 includes a slide rail 501 fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the observation window 4, a slider 502 slidably connected to the slide rail 501, an insert plate 503 fixedly connected to the slider 502, a connecting block 504 on the end face of the flange 3, and an insertion hole on the connecting block 504. The insert plate 503 slides in conjunction with the insertion hole. Figure 4 As described above, after the insert plate 503 slides to the right and is inserted into the socket, the observation window 4 cannot be opened to prevent liquid leakage. After the insert plate 503 slides out of the socket to the left, the observation window 4 can be opened outward to carry out related operations.
[0022] In this embodiment, the mounting seat 505 is fixed on the side of the observation window 4 away from the connecting block 504, and the cam block 506 is mounted on the mounting seat 505. The cam block 506 has a fan-shaped structure, and the center of the cam block 506 is rotationally connected to the mounting seat 505. The rotating handle 507 is fixedly connected to the center of the cam block 506, and the side surface of the cam block 506 is matched with the end surface of the plug plate 503. Specifically, the rotating handle 507 is rotated to drive the cam block 506 to rotate. When the arc surface of the cam block 506 gradually approaches the end surface of the plug plate 503, the distance between the end surface of the plug plate 503 and the center of the cam block 506 gradually increases, that is, the cam block 506 pushes the plug plate 503 to move to the right, and the observation window 4 cannot be opened after the plug plate 503 is inserted into the insertion hole.
[0023] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 5 further includes a return spring 508, one end of the return spring 508 is connected to the mounting seat 505, and the other end of the return spring 508 is connected to the sliding block 502. Specifically, the return spring 508 always applies a leftward pulling force to the sliding block 502. When the straight edge of the cam block 506 abuts against the end surface of the plug plate 503, the distance between the end surface of the plug plate 503 and the center of the cam block 506 gradually decreases. Under the action of the pulling force of the return spring 508, the sliding block 502 and the plug plate 503 move to the left until the plug plate 503 is withdrawn from the insertion hole, and then the observation window 4 can be opened outward.
[0024] In this embodiment, the filter screen 2 has a hollow cylindrical structure, the filter screen 2 has filter holes penetrating the wall of the cylinder, and the filter screen 2 is fixedly connected with two retaining rings 201. The outer circumferential side wall of one of the retaining rings 201 is slidingly connected to the inner side wall of the output channel 103, and the outer side wall of the other retaining ring 201 is slidingly connected to the inner side wall of the observation hole 104. Specifically, the output channel 103 is provided with an annular limiting step, the end wall of the retaining ring 201 abuts against the limiting step, the outer side wall of the other retaining ring 201 is slidingly connected to the inner side wall of the observation hole 104, the outer side wall of the filter screen 2 has a diameter smaller than the hole diameter of the filter cavity 101, and impurities pass through the gap between the outer side wall of the filter screen 2 and the inner wall of the filter cavity 101 and settle at the bottom of the filter cavity 101.
[0025] In this embodiment, the shell 1 is provided with a drain hole penetrating the filter cavity 101 at a position opposite to the input channel 102, and the drain hole is threadedly connected with a drain switch 6. After the drain switch is opened, the impurities at the bottom of the filter cavity 101 can be discharged with the liquid, facilitating cleaning.
[0026] In use, liquid enters the filter cavity 101 from the input channel 102, and the impurities such as sand in the liquid are filtered by the filter screen 2. Most of the impurities settle at the bottom of the filter cavity 101, and a small amount of impurities adhere to the surface of the filter screen 2. Through the transparent observation window 4, the liquid in the filter cavity 101 and the cleanliness of the filter screen 2 can be observed, and the filter screen 2 can be cleaned or replaced as needed. The specific operation method is as follows: rotate the rotating handle 507 and rotate the cam block 506. Under the action of the pull force of the return spring 508, the sliding block 502 gradually moves to the left. When the straight edge of the cam block 506 abuts against the end face of the plug plate 503, the plug plate 503 is withdrawn from the insertion hole, and the observation window 4 is opened outward. At this time, the filter screen 2 can be taken out of the filter cavity 101. After cleaning, the filter screen 2 is reloaded into the filter cavity 101 along the observation hole. When the end wall of the retaining ring 201 abuts against the limiting step in the output channel 102, it indicates that the filter screen 2 has been installed in place. After closing the observation window 4, rotate the rotating handle 507 to drive the cam block 506 to rotate. When the arc surface of the cam block 506 abuts against the end face of the plug plate 503, the distance between the end face of the plug plate 503 and the center of the cam block 506 gradually increases, that is, the cam block 506 pushes the plug plate 503 to move to the right. After the plug plate 503 is inserted into the insertion hole, the observation window 4 cannot be opened.
[0027] The specific embodiments of the utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model claims.
