[0027] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the description of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] The terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly placed when the product of the present application is used, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of description, and do not indicate or imply that the indicated device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0030] The terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only used to distinguish similar attributes of elements, and do not indicate or imply relative importance or a specific order.

[0031] The terms "include", "contain" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, in addition to including the listed elements, other elements not explicitly listed can also be included.

[0032] With reference to Figure 1 The utility model embodiment provides a filter core framework and end cover welding structure, including multiple notches 11 of being located in the framework 1 length direction both ends, the notch 11 of each end of framework 1 along the uniform distribution of framework 1 periphery interval, adjacent notch 11 surrounds tooth 12. Framework 1 and end cover 2 weld, framework hot plate will tooth 12 hot melt and form soft material, end cover hot plate will the end face hot melt of end cover 2 and form soft material, then the tooth 12 of one circle of framework 1 end is pressed on the end face of end cover 2, the hot melt soft material of both of framework 1 and end cover 2 mutually adheres, realizes the tooth 12 inbedding of framework 1 after cooling into end cover 2, namely completes welding. Because adjacent tooth 12 between has the notch 11 for hot melt soft material overflow filling, thus reduced the soft material amount of overflow to edge ( away from hot plate place), numerous notches 11 also reduced the amount of hot melt of framework 1, namely reduced the soft material amount of formation, also can reduce soft material overflow amount.

[0033] The utility model embodiment makes a circle of tooth shape at the place where the framework 1 and the end cover 2 contact, and the soft material melted by the framework 1 and the end cover 2 enters the notch 11 between the adjacent teeth 12 under the action of extrusion force and solidifies, so that the amount of soft material extruded to the edge is reduced, and the soft material far away from the hot plate is prevented from cooling to become low-temperature soft material to participate in welding, thereby avoiding the decline of welding quality.

[0034] Further, the shape of the tooth 12 can be sawtooth-shaped, rectangular, trapezoidal or arc-shaped; the teeth 12 at both ends of the framework 1 can be of the same tooth shape, for example, all sawtooth-shaped; the teeth 12 at both ends of the framework 1 can be of different tooth shapes, for example, the teeth 12 at one end of the framework 1 are all sawtooth-shaped, and the teeth 12 at the other end are all rectangular; the teeth 12 at the same end of the framework 1 can be of different tooth shapes, for example, among the teeth 12 at the same end of the framework 1, some teeth 12 are sawtooth-shaped, and some teeth 12 are trapezoidal, and the types of tooth shapes are at least two. In the embodiment, the teeth 12 at both ends of the framework 1 are preferably all sawtooth-shaped, and the sawtooth-shaped teeth 12 can increase the amount of soft material in a nearly linear manner during the uniform movement of the framework 1 being pressed toward the end cover 2, so that the moving speed of the framework 1 can be slowed down when it is observed that the soft material has a tendency to overflow at a high speed, thereby avoiding a large amount of soft material from overflowing.

[0035] Further, the thickness of the tooth 12 gradually decreases from the tooth root to the tooth tip. By making the place where the framework 1 and the end cover 2 contact into a slope shape, compared with the tooth 12 without a slope, the slope makes the amount of soft material formed after the tooth tip melts less, and the amount of soft material gradually increases as it gradually melts to the tooth root, thereby further reducing the amount of soft material overflow. With reference to Figure 2 Specifically, in the embodiment, the outer side wall of the tooth 12 is provided with a first slope 121, the lowest end of the first slope 121 is connected with the outer side wall of the framework 1, and the highest end of the first slope 121 is connected with the inner side wall of the framework 1.

[0036] With reference toFigure 3 In other embodiments, the form of the gradually thinning thickness of the tooth 12 from the tooth root to the tooth tip is that the inner side wall of the tooth 12 is provided with a second slope 122, the lowest end of the second slope 122 is connected to the inner side wall of the framework 1, and the highest end of the second slope 122 is connected to the outer side wall of the framework 1.

[0037] In other embodiments, the form of the gradually thinning thickness of the tooth 12 from the tooth root to the tooth tip is that the inner side wall of the tooth 12 is provided with a second slope 122, the lowest end of the second slope 122 is connected to the inner side wall of the framework 1, and the highest end of the second slope 122 is connected to the outer side wall of the framework 1.

[0038] In addition, in terms of process, when the framework 1 continuously extrudes the tooth 12 into the soft material of the end cover 2, the heating is stopped when the bottom of the tooth 12 is reached, achieving that the bottom of the tooth 12 is both heated and does not overflow, so that the bottom of the tooth maintains a good melting degree and structure, which is beneficial to welding.

[0039] In addition, based on the above-mentioned filter core framework and end cover welding structure, the present embodiment also relates to a filter core framework and end cover welding quality detection structure. The welding quality detection structure comprises a water-impermeable film 3, which is wound on the end of the framework 1 after being laminated with the non-woven fabric. The end of the water-impermeable film 3 close to the end cover 2 extends out of the end of the non-woven fabric and is hot-melt connected to the framework 1. The end of the water-impermeable film 3 away from the end cover 2 extends to a position that does not affect the water permeability of the filter core (the height along the axis of the framework 1 is generally about 5 cm, and it is required that it cannot cover a large area of holes on the framework 1). The water-impermeable film 3 is used to prevent water from penetrating in when the framework 1 is inserted into water to detect whether the welding position leaks.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 5 The water-impermeable film 3 is wrapped on the end of the framework 1 together with the non-woven fabric 4 by clamping. The water-impermeable film 3 seals a section of the non-woven fabric 4 and a section of the framework 1 to make them impermeable to water. The filter core is inserted into a water tank 5 with the water level being lower than the water-impermeable film 3 and higher than the welding position. After a period of time, if water is observed to enter the filter core, it is determined that the welding position of the framework 1 and the end cover 2 leaks, that is, the welding quality is unqualified.

[0041] The framework 1 has many holes, which ensure that after the non-woven fabric 4 is wound on the framework 1, liquid can pass through the non-woven fabric 4 and the holes on the framework 1 into the interior of the framework 1. The porous structure of the framework 1, combined with the good air permeability of the non-woven fabric 4, makes it impossible to detect the bonding condition of the end of the framework 1 and the end cover 2 by gas method. There are other methods for detection, but they are time-consuming and laborious. The water-impermeable film 3 is wrapped on the two ends of the framework 1 by clamping with the non-woven fabric 4, which is fast in detection speed and low in cost.

[0042] Please refer toFigure 6 When the filter core is produced, in the process of winding the non-woven fabric 4, one water-impermeable film 3 is attached to each end of the non-woven fabric 4 in the width direction, the length of the water-impermeable film 3 extends along the length direction of the non-woven fabric 4, and the water-impermeable film 3 has the same number of winding turns on the skeleton 1 as the non-woven fabric 4; the side end of the water-impermeable film 3 slightly extends from the side end of the non-woven fabric 4 by a certain distance, and the effect of winding on the skeleton 1 is as follows: please refer to Figure 5 The one end of the water-impermeable film 3 close to the end cover 2 extends from the non-woven fabric 4, the extended end of the water-impermeable film 3 is heated to make the multiple films adhere to each other and be fixed on the side wall of the skeleton 1, and the sealed connection of the water-impermeable film 3 and the skeleton 1 is realized.

[0043] In the embodiment, the thickness of the water-impermeable film 3 is 0.1-0.5mm, the height along the axial direction of the skeleton 1 is 3-5cm, and the end cover 2, the skeleton 1 and the water-impermeable film 3 preferably adopt the same material.

[0044] In summary, the technical scheme of the utility model has the following advantages:

[0045] 1. The overflow (glue refers to molten soft material) during the welding of the skeleton 1 and the end cover 2 is reduced, and even no overflow can be realized, the flash formed by the overflow is avoided to protrude to the peripheral side wall of the end cover 2, the installation of the sealing ring on the peripheral side wall of the end cover 2 is affected, and the normal insertion of the filter core into the cup seat of the equipment is affected;

[0046] 2. The gap 11 between the adjacent teeth 12 and the slope on the tooth 12 make the molten material be less extruded, so that the fusion of the skeleton 1 and the end cover 2 is better realized;

[0047] 3. The water-impermeable film 3 is used for bottoming, the molten soft material of the film after heating can not only adhere to the non-woven fabric 4 but also be fixed on the wall of the skeleton 1, and the firm adhesion of multiple materials is realized;

[0048] 4. The water-impermeable film 3 is used for bottoming, and the quality of the welding is facilitated to be inspected.

[0049] The above is only a specific implementation manner of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, which should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model.
