[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 .

[0042] In one specific embodiment, the filter cartridge mounting device provided by this utility model includes a fixing frame 1, a lifting device 2, and an adsorption device 3, wherein the lifting device 2 is mounted on the fixing frame 1.

In use, the ejector pin 5 corresponds to the filter element one by one to push out the filter element adsorbed on the filter element mounting device. When the filter element is pushed out through the one-to-one correspondence between the ejector pin 5 and the filter element, the situation that part of the filter element is stuck and needs to be manually taken out by the worker is avoided, and the labor intensity of installing the filter element is further reduced.

[0046] Specifically, the filter element mounting device further comprises a guide device 6, the top end of the guide device 6 is fixedly connected with the support frame 4, the guide device 6 is slidably connected with the adsorption device 3, and the bottom end of the guide device 6 is located at the bottom end of the adsorption device 3. The bottom end of the guide device 6 is provided with a limiting block capable of abutting against the bottom end of the adsorption device 3. Through the setting of the guide device 6, the adsorption device 3 moves along a preset path relative to the support frame 4.

[0047] As can be known from the above description, in the filter element mounting device provided in the specific embodiment of the present application, the adsorption regions on the adsorption device 3 are independently arranged, and each adsorption region independently forms a negative pressure to improve the negative pressure suction force of the adsorbed filter element and reduce the situation that the filter element falls off. Therefore, the filter element mounting device provided in the present application effectively reduces the labor intensity of installing the filter element.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, the adsorption device 3 comprises an adsorption body 302, a plurality of adsorption regions are formed in the adsorption body 302, and the bottom end of each adsorption region on the adsorption body 302 is respectively provided with a filter element profile suction port 301 corresponding to the filter element one by one. The filter element profile suction port 301 is used for adsorbing the filter element. Through the setting of the filter element profile suction port 301, the filter element is conveniently adsorbed.

[0049] The ejector pin 5 is in sliding sealing cooperation with the top end of the adsorption body 302 and can extend into the filter element profile suction port 301 to push out the filter element. Specifically, the filter element profile suction ports 301 in each adsorption region are arranged in an array.

The bearing is installed on the adsorption device 3 and is sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod 601, and the guide rod 601 and the bearing are in sliding fit. By arranging the bearing, the sliding path of each position of the adsorption device 3 relative to the guide rod 601 is consistent, thereby improving the adsorption rate of the filter element.

[0052] In an embodiment, the filter element loading device further comprises an elastic mechanism 8, the opposite ends of the elastic mechanism 8 in the extension direction are connected to the support frame 4 and the adsorption device 3, so as to provide a rebound force for the adsorption device 3 to move away from the support frame 4. Specifically, the elastic mechanism 8 can be a spring, and the spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide rod 601. Specifically, by arranging the elastic mechanism 8, the spring is compressed during the descent of the adsorption device 3, thereby playing a buffering role. At the same time, when the lifting device 2 drives the adsorption device 3 to ascend, the spring is elongated, thereby facilitating the upward movement of the ejector pin 5 relative to the filter element profiling suction port 301.

[0056] The filter element profiling suction port 301 is specifically arranged in an array. The junction position of the filter element profiling suction port 301 and the adsorption area is a guide surface for the ejector pin 5 to pass through, and specifically, the guide surface can be a conical structure gradually expanding upward. A gap is arranged between the outer peripheral surface of the ejector pin 5 and the inner wall of the filter element profiling suction port 301, and by arranging the gap, the friction between the ejector pin 5 and the inner wall of the filter element profiling suction port 301 is reduced, thereby improving the stability of the filter element adsorption.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the adsorption region on the adsorption body 302 includes a first sealing plate 30201 and a second sealing plate 30202 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the first sealing plate 30201 is gap-fitted with the ejector pin 5, the second sealing plate 30202 is slidingly sealed with the ejector pin 5, and the second sealing plate 30202 is made of elastic material. In order to realize overall installation and sealing, the first sealing plate 30201 is made of hard material, and if it is slidingly sealed with the ejector pin 5, it will cause the ejector pin 5 to slide poorly and the sliding surface to be damaged. The first sealing plate 30201 is gap-fitted with the ejector pin 5 to reduce the friction between the first sealing plate 30201 and the ejector pin 5, and the second sealing plate 30202 made of elastic material is used to realize sealing with the ejector pin 5, thereby ensuring the sealing effect and prolonging the service life of the adsorption device 3.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the filter core mounting device further includes a filter core cleaning device and a filter core containing box. The filter core containing box is located on one side of the filter core mounting rack, the filter core mounting rack is used to place the filter core, the filter core containing box is used to receive the filter core on the filter core mounting rack, and the filter core cleaning device is used to clean the surface of the filter core mounting rack to the filter core containing box. By setting the filter core cleaning device, the filter core on the filter core mounting rack can be cleaned to the filter core containing box, which facilitates the adsorption of different types of filter cores. At the same time, the falling rate of the filter core is avoided, which affects the subsequent work.

[0059] The filter core cleaning device can include a driving device for driving the reciprocating movement of the cleaning brush. The driving device can be a linear motor or a telescopic cylinder.

[0060] In order to facilitate understanding, the working principle and process of a filter core mounting device are described below: the lifting device 2 is lowered, the vacuum generator 7 is started to generate negative pressure at the filter core suction station, the filter core profiling suction port 301 sucks the filter core, the lifting device 2 is reset after successful suction, the horizontal moving module 9 drives the lifting device 2 to move horizontally to the left, and after moving to the filter core pressing position, the lifting device 2 is lowered, the negative pressure is turned off, and when the lower surface of the filter core profiling suction port 301 touches the gun head, the ejector pin 5 starts to move downward to eject, until the filter core is pressed into the gun head, and after completion, each structure is reset.

[0061] When mounting the filter core in the box, for a large box capacity, multiple suction actions are required for one box body, and the root placement position is different. The gun head suction nozzle mechanism 16 for moving the assembled filter core gun head is installed below the rotary cylinder 13, so that the gun head suction nozzle mechanism 16 can rotate along a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction, for example, it can rotate between 90°-180°. In order to facilitate material taking, the rotary cylinder 13 is installed on the three-axis module 15, and the three-axis module 15 realizes the X-direction, Y-direction and Z-direction movement of the rotary cylinder 13.

[0062] Specifically, since the gun head placement after filter core pressing is x x y = 4 x 8, and the hole position of the empty box is x x y = 8 x 12, the gun head suction nozzle mechanism 16 is horizontally rotated 90° by rotating the air cylinder 13, and the gun head suction nozzle mechanism 16 performs three suction actions, which completes the placement of a box of gun heads.

[0063] For ease of understanding, the working principle and process of the box filling are described below: on the feeding line 11, the empty box is manually fed, and after the empty box is in place, the three-axis module 15 moves to the material taking position, the negative pressure is started, the gun head suction nozzle mechanism 16 sucks the gun head filled with the filter core, and then moves to the top of the empty box, the rotating air cylinder 13 rotates 90 degrees, and then discharges the material into the empty box after aligning the hole position. After the empty box is filled, the material box can be moved from the feeding line to the right by the pneumatic handling mechanism 14, and then moved to the discharging position under the action of the discharging line 12, and then manually taken away to complete the production. The pneumatic handling mechanism 14 is a conventional mechanical hand.

[0064] The inner size of the suction nozzle of the gun head suction nozzle mechanism 16 is profiled with the size of the tip head to prevent air leakage and other problems.

[0065] The gun head automatic box filling equipment provided by the application comprises a filter core filling device, wherein the filter core filling device is any one of the filter core filling devices described above, the filter core filling device is used for sucking the filter core, and the sucked filter core is installed in the gun head. The specific structure of the filter core filling device is described in the foregoing description, and the application comprises the filter core filling device described above, and also has the technical effects described above.

[0066] The embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts of each embodiment can be referred to each other.
