[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model is a vacuum pump air filter assembly that is easy to disassemble, including a filter component 1. The filter component 1 includes an outer cylinder 11, and an air outlet 15 is connected through the center of the bottom surface of the outer cylinder 11. A fixing component 2 is provided on the air outlet 15. The filter component 1 is used to filter the incoming gas and prevent impurities, dust, lint and other floating objects in the air from entering the vacuum pump and causing it to become blocked and damaged. The fixing component 2 is used for its fixed connection with the vacuum pump.

[0031] An end cap 13 is provided at the top of the outer cylinder 11, a filter element 12 is provided in the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 11, and an air inlet 14 is connected through the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 11. The filter element 12 plays a filtering role and forms an air inlet assembly with the outer cylinder 11, the end cap 13, the air inlet 14 and the air outlet 15 for the gas to be introduced into the vacuum pump.

[0032] The fixing component 2 includes a first fastener 21 and a second fastener 22. A first insert 211 is disposed between the two outermost peripheral sidewalls of the first fastener 21. An inner groove 212 is formed at one end of the inner cavity of the first fastener 21. A connecting member 213 is also disposed within the inner cavity of the first fastener 21. One end of the connecting member 213, passing through the inner groove 212, is fixedly connected to the first insert 211. A fixing block 214 is also fixed within the inner cavity of the first fastener 21. A spring 215 is fixed to one side of the fixing block 214, with the spring 215 located away from the fixing block 214. The first fastener 21 is fixedly connected to the connector 213. The first fastener 21 also includes a knob 217 rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the first fastener 21. An outer groove 216 is provided on the inner periphery of the first fastener 21. One end of the connector 213 passes through the outer groove 216 and is fixedly connected to the knob 217. The second fastener 22 includes a base plate 221. One end of the base plate 221 is fixed with a second plug-in 222 that is compatible with the first plug-in 211. A threaded tube 23 is connected through the center of the end of the base plate 221 away from the second plug-in 222.

[0033] The second fastener 22 is provided with a threaded tube 23. The threaded tube 23 ensures that the second fastener 22 is always stably connected to the vacuum pump. The first fastener 21 and the second fastener 22 are stably connected and easily disassembled through the matching plug-in 211. The plug-in 211 is slidably mounted on the inner groove 212 through the connector 213. A certain tension is provided by the spring 215. When fixed, the plug-in 211 and the second plug-in 222 are always in contact with each other. When disassembly is required, the knob 217 is turned to drive the connector 213 to rotate, and finally the plug-in 211 is disengaged from the second plug-in 222, which makes disassembly more convenient.

[0034] The first plug-in 211, inner groove 212, connector 213, fixing block 214, spring 215, outer groove 216 and second plug-in 222 located on the same side are arranged as a group, and two groups are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner. The two groups of fixed and limited parts can improve the stability during fixation. The two connectors 213 are fixed on the outer knob 217. Simply turn the knob 217 to drive the two connectors 213 to move, and finally the two sets of interlocking plug-in 211 and second plug-in 222 are separated together, thus completing the quick disassembly.

[0035] A limiting member 218 is fixed on the outermost peripheral side wall of fastener 21, and a limiting groove 223 is provided on the inner peripheral side wall of fastener 22. The limiting member 218 and the limiting groove 223 cooperate to enable fastener 211 and fastener 222 to quickly align during installation, while ensuring that fastener 21 and fastener 22 do not rotate relative to each other.

[0036] The fastener 22 is also provided with a spring 224, which can provide a simple pop-out force when the outer cylinder 11 of the device is disassembled, further increasing the convenience of disassembly.

[0037] Both the contact surfaces of connector 1 211 and connector 222 are curved. When the device is installed, the two curved connectors 211 and 222 collide, causing connector 1 211 to shift on its own, thus enabling direct plug-in installation and greatly increasing the convenience of installation.

[0038] The knob 217 has an anti-slip groove, and multiple contact surfaces of the first fastener 21 and the second fastener 22 are all glued with rubber pads. The anti-slip groove can prevent the disassembly from being affected by hand slippage during disassembly. The foot pads on the contact surfaces are to increase their airtightness and prevent air leakage at the connection points.

[0039] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, first install the second fastening part 22 onto the vacuum pump. Only one installation is required for continuous use. Then, install the filter assembly 1 onto the second fastening part 22 via the first fastening part 21. Then, connect the air inlet end 14 to the external pipe. At this time, start the vacuum pump to make it work normally. The device is equipped with a fixing component 2 that is easy to disassemble. When the air filter element 12 assembly needs to be disassembled, simply turn the knob 217 to move the connecting part 213, thereby causing the first plug-in part 211 and the second plug-in part 222 to separate, thus completing the quick disassembly. The installation is the same. Just connect the first fastening part 21 and the second fastening part 22. The limiting part 218 and the limiting groove 223 are aligned and installed to achieve quick installation, which greatly improves its convenience.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall be protected by the present utility model.
