Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a filtration device, belonging to the technical field of filtration equipment, and in particular to a filtration device in which the filter element can be replaced by mechanical operation. Background Technology
[0002] Structure and working principle of cartridge filters
[0003] Filter canisters, such as Figure 8 As shown: Mostly made of stainless steel, plastic, or carbon steel, the filter tank consists of a tank body and a lid. An opening is located at the top of the tank body, with a flange at the opening. The lid is positioned above the opening in the tank body and also has a flange. Bolts pass through through holes in the flanges of both the tank body and the lid, connecting the lid and tank body via bolts. The filter tank protects the filter element and withstands the system pressure. The filter element is the core component, made of materials such as polypropylene, stainless steel, activated carbon, and glass fiber. The filter tank has a lower and upper media inlet pipe for connecting to the pipeline containing the media to be treated, allowing for media inflow and outflow. A drain pipe is located at the bottom of the filter tank to discharge residual impurities or cleaning fluid. Pressure gauges are located on the top of the lid and on the lower and upper media inlet pipes to monitor the pressure difference inside the filter tank and between the inlet and outlet, determining when to replace the filter element.
[0004] The filter element is housed inside the filter tank. An upper filter element mounting plate is located at the top of the filter tank, or a lower filter element mounting plate at the bottom. The filter element typically has an opening at one end and a closed end at the other; the open end is the upper end, and the closed end is the lower end. The opening faces upwards and connects to the filter element interface on the upper filter element mounting plate inside the filter tank via threads, clips, or bolts. Alternatively, the filter element's opening faces downwards and connects to the filter element interface on the lower filter element mounting plate at the bottom of the filter tank. When the filter medium enters from the outside or inside of the filter element, suspended particles are trapped as it passes through the filter element's pores, allowing clean medium to flow out. Impurities accumulate on the inner surface or fiber layer of the filter element, achieving gradual filtration.
[0005] Filter element, such as Figure 9 The types shown include: PP meltblown filter cartridges, made of polypropylene ultrafine fibers through thermal melting and entanglement, with a filtration accuracy range of 0.5-100μm and strong corrosion resistance; wound filter cartridges, made by precisely winding textile fiber yarns onto a porous skeleton, capable of removing suspended solids, particulate impurities, etc.; pleated filter cartridges, made of polypropylene and other microporous filter membranes, small in size, large in filtration area, and high in precision; activated carbon filter cartridges, available in compressed and bulk types, capable of adsorbing odors, organic matter, and residual chlorine; and titanium rod filter cartridges, made of titanium powder through molding and high-temperature sintering, which are corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and have high strength.
[0006] The shortcomings of existing technologies include:
[0007] In heavily polluted environments, filter cartridges need to be replaced frequently. Currently, the replacement is done manually by opening the canister and removing the clogged cartridges by hand.

[0026] The principle and operation of the mechanical filter replacement device of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0027] Steps for installing the filter element facing upwards: When the filter element needs to be placed facing upwards, first lift the can lid. The can lid will lift the upper filter element fixing plate connected to it to the top of the can body. The opening of the filter element will face upwards and be fixedly connected to the filter element connection port on the upper filter element fixing plate. The filter element will be in a vertical state. Then lower the can lid. When the can lid is lowered to the upper filter element fixing plate and the upper filter element fixing ring, the outer side of the upper filter element fixing plate will contact the inner side of the upper filter element fixing ring. At the same time, the outer vertical edge of the can lid will contact the inner vertical edge of the can body opening. The can lid will continue to lower until the upper filter element fixing plate and the upper filter element fixing ring and the outer vertical edge of the can lid are aligned and pressed with the inner vertical edge of the can body. Then stop the downward movement of the can lid. After that, other filter elements will be installed on the filter element connection port of the upper filter element fixing plate on the can lid that is not connected to the can body in the same way.
[0028] Steps for installing the filter element face down: When placing the filter element face down, first lift the can lid. The can lid will lift the upper filter element fixing plate connected to it to the top of the can. Position the filter element with its opening facing down and its tail facing up. Secure the tail of the filter element to the filter element connection port on the upper filter element fixing plate, ensuring the filter element is vertical. Secure the opening of the filter element to the filter element connection port on the lower filter element fixing plate. Then lower the can lid. When the can lid descends to the top of the upper filter element fixing plate and the upper filter element fixing ring, the outer side of the upper filter element fixing plate will be in contact with the upper filter element fixing ring. The inner side of the fixing ring contacts the outer vertical edge of the can lid, while the outer side of the lower filter element fixing plate contacts the inner side of the lower filter element fixing ring. The can lid continues to descend until the upper filter element fixing plate and the upper filter element fixing ring, the lower filter element fixing plate and the lower filter element fixing ring, and the outer vertical edge of the can lid are aligned and pressed with the inner vertical edge of the can body. Then, the downward movement of the can lid stops. After that, other filter elements are installed on the filter element connection port of the filter element fixing plate on the can lid that is not connected to the can body, in accordance with the above method.
[0029] Taking the filter replacement operation of this utility model's mechanical filter replacement device, with the filter element opening facing upwards and the filter medium being sewage, as an example, the pressure values on the lower and upper media pipes of the filter tank are first checked. When the pressure difference reaches a set value, such as 0.3 MPa, the filter replacement operation is initiated. First, the water inlet to the filter tank is stopped, and the motor or hydraulic pump of the lifting unit is turned on. The motor or hydraulic pump drives the ball screw, chain, or push-pull rod to raise the vertical pipe. The rise of the vertical pipe causes the horizontal arm to rise, which in turn lifts the tank cover connected to it. The tank cover then lifts the upper filter element fixing plate and the failed filter element connected to it. When the bottom of the failed filter element is raised above the opening of the filter tank, the lifting operation is stopped. Start the translation motor to move the horizontal arm or auxiliary arm horizontally, moving the horizontal arm or auxiliary arm with the failed filter element out, and moving the horizontal arm or auxiliary arm with the new filter element to the top of the filter tank. At this point, stop the horizontal movement, or start the tilting motor to rotate the auxiliary arm 180 degrees and move the horizontal arm with the new filter element to the top of the filter tank. Start the motor or hydraulic pump of the lifting unit. The motor or hydraulic pump drives the ball screw, chain, or telescopic rod to move downward, thereby driving the vertical pipe to descend. The vertical pipe drives the horizontal arm, and the horizontal arm then drives the tank cover and filter element to descend until the tank cover is connected to the opening of the tank body and pressed tightly. Then stop the motor or hydraulic pump of the lifting unit to keep the tank cover in a pressed state.
[0030] The hydraulic mechanism's upward and downward operation steps are as follows: Open the forward thrust valve, open the forward push valve, close the retraction inlet valve, close the retraction outlet valve, and start the hydraulic pump. Hydraulic oil from the tank enters the hydraulic pump along the forward thrust pipe and the pump's main inlet pipe. Powered by the pump, the hydraulic oil flows out from the pump's main outlet pipe and then through the forward push pipe and the main inlet / outlet pipe into the hydraulic cylinder. According to Pascal's principle, this pushes the telescopic rod forward. The hydraulic mechanism's downward and downward operation steps are as follows: Close the forward thrust valve, close the forward push valve, open the retraction inlet valve, open the retraction outlet valve, and start the hydraulic pump. Hydraulic oil in the cylinder flows along the main inlet / outlet pipe and the retraction inlet pipe to the pump's main inlet pipe and then into the pump's inlet. Powered by the pump, the hydraulic oil flows out from the pump's main outlet pipe and through the retraction outlet pipe into the hydraulic tank. After all the hydraulic oil in the cylinder has flowed into the hydraulic tank, the telescopic rod retracts to its original position.
[0031] After replacing the filter cartridge, the water inlet and outlet of the filter tank can continue to operate. The removed and failed filter cartridge is exposed outside the filter tank. At this time, the failed filter cartridge is manually removed from the upper filter cartridge fixing plate and replaced with a new filter cartridge. When the filter cartridge in operation fails, the cartridge replacement operation is performed again. The entire filter cartridge replacement operation is completed by a motor-driven mechanical device. It can also be programmed with PLC to achieve automated operation, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of operators.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
