Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter production equipment, and more specifically, to a straightening device for filter production. Background Technology
[0002] A filter is a device used to remove solid particles, suspended matter, or other impurities from fluids (such as liquids or gases). The material selection for automotive filter housings depends on the specific type of filter and its operating environment. Fuel filter housings are used in carburetor engines. Due to the lower operating pressure, fuel filter housings are typically made of nylon. However, with this material, environmental or process factors can cause deformation along the edges of the housing after injection molding, affecting subsequent assembly.
[0003] Existing orthopedic devices for the above situations generally require a mold. The shell is placed in the mold, and after the upper and lower molds are closed, the cavity inside the mold is heated and then cooled to achieve the orthopedic purpose. This method involves reshaping the entire shell. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a straightening device for filter production. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to perform local straightening of the edge portion of the shell only for edge deformation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a straightening device for filter production, comprising a support plate mounted on a frame and driven to rotate by a drive component; a straightening mechanism comprising a straightening wheel and a linkage assembly, one end of the linkage assembly being connected to the frame and the other end being rotatably connected to the straightening wheel, the straightening wheel and the support plate being in contact; wherein, the linkage assembly comprises a plurality of rods that are elastically rotatably connected end to end, one rod being connected to the frame and the other rod being rotatably connected to the straightening wheel.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a temperature control mechanism is provided on the side of the support plate, including a conduit and a vertical plate. One end of the conduit points to the arc-shaped side of the support plate, and the other end is connected to the corresponding pump. The conduit is filled with a heating or cooling medium, and the vertical plate is used to support the conduit.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the conduit and the transition plate are connected, the transition plate and the transition tank are threadedly connected, and the transition tank and the corresponding pump are connected.

[0019] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that the description of this disclosure will be more complete and fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted.
[0020] Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more exemplary embodiments. Numerous specific details are provided in the following description to give a full understanding of exemplary embodiments of this disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of this disclosure can be practiced with one or more of the specific details omitted, or other methods, components, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known structures, methods, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of this disclosure.
[0021] The existing straightening method is mold straightening, which refers to reshaping the nylon shell using a mold. First, the nylon shell is heated and placed into a custom mold. The mold's pressure restores it to the correct shape, followed by cooling while keeping the mold closed until the nylon is completely cooled and solidified. This process requires placing the entire shell inside the mold to reshape the entire shell. While this produces good overall integrity, it is costly.
[0022] To address the above problems, this application proposes the following solutions.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figures 1-2 A straightening device for filter production mainly includes a support plate 1 and a straightening mechanism 2.
[0025] A drive component for driving the support disk 1 to rotate at a constant speed is provided on one side of the support disk 1. The drive component is generally a motor. Of course, in order to reasonably arrange the space and transmission ratio, a transmission component, such as a gear transmission or a belt drive structure, can also be provided. Since the method of controlling a component to rotate through a transmission component is existing technology, it will not be described in detail in this embodiment. Accordingly, the structure of the drive component is not shown in the attached drawings.
[0026] For example, the support plate 1 and the output shaft of the motor can be detachably connected, and the output shaft of the motor can drive the support plate 1 to rotate at a constant speed.
[0027] Once the position of the support plate 1 is determined, the housing is fitted onto the outside of the support plate 1, with the edge of the housing positioned on the side wall of the support plate 1. It can be seen that, depending on the height and diameter of the housing, a support plate 1 with a diameter and length sufficient to support the housing is selected.
[0028] The straightening mechanism 2 is used to provide a mechanical pressure to apply force from the outside of the housing to straighten the deformed edge of the housing. The orthotic mechanism 2 includes an orthotic wheel 21, a linkage 22, a slide rail 23, and a handle 24. The orthotic wheel 21 is located on the side of the support plate 1. The side wall of the orthotic wheel 21 and the side wall of the support plate 1 abut against each other to form pressure, which compresses the outer shell located between the support plate 1 and the orthotic wheel 21 to correct its shape. The orthotic wheel 21 is connected to the slide rail 23 through the linkage 22. The linkage 22 and the slide rail 23 provide the orthotic wheel 21 with a certain motion basis. Specifically, the slide rail 23 is fixedly connected to the frame, and a slider is connected to the slide rail 23 with damping. The linkage 22 includes several elastically rotatable connecting rods. Among the rods located at the two ends, one rod is damped and rotatably connected to the slider, and the other rod is rotatably connected to the orthotic wheel 21. The elastic rotational force between the rods can provide an elastic force for the orthotic wheel 21. Under the action of this elastic force, the orthotic wheel 21 can always be in close contact with the side wall of the support plate 1.
[0029] Preferably, the handle 24 is fixed to a rod so that the user can move the rod and the orthotic wheel 21 to a designated position by holding the handle 24.
[0030] Preferably, in this embodiment, the linkage 22 includes two rods, one of which is rotatably connected to the slider damper, and the other is rotatably connected to the orthotic wheel 21. The handle is fixedly connected to one of the rods, which is positioned close to the orthotic wheel 21.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 Based on Example 1, and taking into account the characteristics of nylon material, this example designs a temperature control mechanism 3 to improve the orthogonal capability of the outer shell edge.
[0033] Specifically, the temperature control mechanism 3 includes a conduit 31, a transition plate 32, a transition tank 33, a vertical plate 34, and a base 35. One end of the conduit 31 faces the edge of the shell, and the other end is fixed and connected to the transition plate 32. The transition tank 33 is detachably connected to the transition plate 32 by a threaded connection. A pipe is trailing behind the transition tank 33, and the pipe is connected to a corresponding pump. When the pipe is filled with combustible gas, the end of the conduit 31 can spray flames outward to heat the edge of the shell, which is beneficial for straightening. The transition plate 32 and the vertical plate 34 are fixed by a pin and pin hole. The vertical plate 34 is fixed to the base 35, and a track is fixed on the bottom surface. The base 35 slides on the track, and the track is laid out along the axis of the support plate 1. This arrangement is conducive to allowing the base 35 to drive the conduit 31 into or out of the side of the support plate 1.
[0034] The connection between the transition plate 32 and the vertical plate 34 is as follows: several pin holes are opened on the connection surface of the guide tube 31 and the vertical plate 34, and there is a pin shaft. By rotating the position of the transition plate 32, the pin shaft can be inserted into the corresponding pin hole to achieve fixation.
[0035] Preferably, the transition plate 32 is provided with an arc groove, which is adapted to the arc sidewall of the transition tank 33 to serve as a guide and limit.
[0036] It is known that two conduits 31 are symmetrically arranged on the transition plate 32. One of them is filled with combustible gas, and the other is filled with cooling gas. By having the motor drive the support plate 1 to rotate slowly, one side of the shell is heated to facilitate the straightening process, while the other side of the shell receives the cooling gas to cool and solidify the straightened shell. The temperature difference between the two conduits 31 needs to be determined according to the situation to reduce the probability of shell deformation deterioration. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0037] Working principle of this utility model:
[0038] This application designs a straightening wheel 21, which, together with the support plate 1, clamps and squeezes the edge of the housing from both the inside and outside, thus mechanically straightening the housing. A conduit 31 is also provided to guide combustible gas to the edge of the housing. After the combustible gas is ignited, the edge of the housing is subjected to both heat and pressure, thereby achieving the purpose of local straightening of the filter housing.
[0039] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
