Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to oil filters, specifically to a replaceable filter paper oil filter element. Background Technology
[0002] The oil filter is a crucial component of the engine lubrication system. Its main function is to filter impurities, metal shavings, dust, oxides, and other harmful substances from the engine oil, keeping the oil clean, extending its lifespan, and reducing wear on engine parts. An oil filter typically consists of a housing, filter paper, and an inner cylinder. Engine oil passes through the filter paper from the outside into the inner cylinder and then into the engine.
[0003] Chinese patent CN214887290U discloses a replaceable filter type oil filter, including a rigid metal shell, a filter element body, an oil inlet check valve, an oil filter cover, and a sealing ring. The sealing ring is fixedly connected to one end of the rigid metal shell. The oil filter cover is fixedly connected inside the rigid metal shell behind the sealing ring. The oil inlet check valve is fixedly connected behind the oil filter cover. The filter element body is fixedly connected behind the oil inlet check valve. A filter paper body is fixedly connected to the filter element body.
[0004] The replaceable cartridge oil filter's filter element body includes a central tube, filter element through holes, connecting plates, a filter paper groove, and a filter element oil outlet. The central tube has several filter element through holes, and the filter paper body is fixed to the outer ring of the central tube. Oil filtered by the filter paper body enters the central tube through the filter element through holes. Connecting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the central tube. The central tube and connecting plates are fixedly connected and difficult to disassemble. When the filter paper body's flowability deteriorates after long-term use, it cannot be replaced individually. Utility Model Content

[0028] See Figure 1-7 The replaceable filter paper oil filter element shown includes a central filter cylinder 1 and end ring caps 2 detachably installed at both ends of the central filter cylinder 1. The central filter cylinder 1 is covered with folded filter paper 5. Multiple L-shaped locking plates 8 are arranged circumferentially at the ends of the central filter cylinder 1. The inner end of the end ring cap 2 is provided with an L-shaped locking groove 10 that rotates and locks with the L-shaped locking plates 8. Multiple countersunk holes 12 extending to the L-shaped locking grooves 10 are provided on the end ring cap 2. The outer end of the L-shaped locking plate 8 is provided with a screw hole 9 coaxial with the countersunk hole 12. A screw 4 matching the screw hole 9 can be screwed into the screw hole 9 after passing through the countersunk hole 12.
[0029] By implementing the above technical solution, on the one hand, the detachable end ring caps 2 at both ends can facilitate the installation or removal of the central filter cylinder 1 and the folded filter paper 5, making it easy to replace the accessories in the filter element independently; on the other hand, through the rotational locking between the L-shaped locking plate 8 and the L-shaped locking groove 10, after locking, the screw 4 passes through the countersunk hole 12 and is screwed into the screw hole 9, realizing the detachable connection between the central filter cylinder 1 and the end ring cap 2.
[0030] The L-shaped locking plate 8 includes a vertically extending portion and an arc-shaped insert plate connecting the vertically extending portion. The L-shaped locking groove 10 includes a socket 11 that can vertically insert the arc-shaped insert plate, and an arc-shaped slot that communicates with the socket 11 and can rotatably insert the arc-shaped insert plate. The arc-shaped insert plate is inserted from the socket 11 and then rotated into the arc-shaped slot to lock.
[0031] In this embodiment, the inner side of the end ring cover 2 is provided with a recess 15 that can fit and accommodate the end of the central inlet cylinder 1, and the L-shaped locking groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the recess 15.

The extension cylinders 3 can cover the openings on the sides of the L-shaped locking groove 10. The outer walls of the extension cylinders 3 are in contact with the inner side of the L-shaped locking plate 8 and the inner walls of the end ring cap 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, the central leak cylinder 1 includes an inner cylinder 14 disposed on the inner side and an outer cylinder 13 disposed on the outer side; both the inner cylinder 14 and the outer cylinder 13 are provided with multiple leak holes 7. The double-layer structure with planar annular ends reinforces the structure of the central leak cylinder 1.
[0034] In this embodiment, annular reinforcing plates 6 are provided at both ends of the folded filter paper 5. This arrangement improves the stability of the folded filter paper 5. The annular reinforcing plates 6 are made of cardboard with a thickness of 1-2 mm and are glued to the folded filter paper 5.
[0035] In this embodiment, to further provide an arrangement of the countersunk holes 12, 3-6 countersunk holes 12 are provided circumferentially along the end ring cover 2. Naturally, the number of L-shaped locking plates 8 and L-shaped locking grooves 10 corresponds to the number of countersunk holes 12, and they are the same.
[0036] In this embodiment, to further provide a screw 4, the screw 4 is a Phillips head or a flathead countersunk screw. The screw 4 does not protrude from the end ring cap 2 after being tightened.
