DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below by examples in combination with the drawings.
[0019] An air filter, comprising a shell 1, a tray 3 for supporting an air filter element 2 and a locking mechanism 4 for fixing the air filter element 2 are arranged in the shell 1, the bottom of the tray 3 is connected with the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 through a plurality of support plates 5, and an air outlet pipe 6 is further arranged at the bottom end of the shell 1;
[0020] A cylinder 7 is arranged on the top wall of the shell 1, the cylinder 7 is arranged in communication with the shell 1, a sleeve 8 is arranged in the cylinder 7, a bolt 9 for fixing the sleeve 8 is arranged outside the cylinder 7, an annular seat I 10 for fixing the top end of the air filter element 2 is arranged at the inner bottom of the sleeve 8, the annular seat I 10 is fixedly connected with the sleeve 8, a strip-shaped groove 11 is arranged around the inner side wall of the sleeve 8 above the annular seat I 10, and an internal thread is arranged on the inner side wall of the sleeve 8 above the strip-shaped groove 11;
[0021] The locking mechanism 4 comprises a plug 41 which is screwed with the internal thread in the sleeve 8, an external thread is arranged on the outer wall of the plug 41 for screwing with the internal thread, an air inlet pipe 42 is arranged on the plug 41 for the air inlet port of the top end of the air filter element 2, a ring-shaped seat II 43 for extruding and fixing the air filter element 2 is arranged at the bottom of the plug 41 outside the air inlet port, a square hole 44 is arranged on each of the two side walls corresponding to the ring-shaped seat II 43, a square rod 45 is arranged in the square hole 44, one end of the square rod 45 extends into the strip-shaped groove 11, and a screw rod 46 is arranged at the other end of the square rod 45, wherein the two groups of screw rods 46 are connected through a screw pipe 47 located directly below the opening of the air inlet pipe 42.
[0022] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 One end of the sleeve 8 extends into the shell 1, and a sealing layer is arranged between the sleeve 8 and the cylinder 7.
[0023] The bolt 9 head is arranged outside the cylinder 7, screw holes for screwing with the bolt 9 shank are arranged on the side wall of the cylinder 7 and the outer wall of the sleeve 8, sleeve pipes 12 are fixed at the connecting part between the cylinder 7 and the top wall of the shell 1 and the top end of the cylinder 7, the bolt 9 is located between the two groups of sleeve pipes 12, and the two groups of sleeve pipes 12 are further sleeved with protective cylinders 13 which are screwed with the sleeve pipes 12. The protective cylinders 13 strengthen the connecting part between the cylinder 7 and the shell 1, and the protective cylinders 13 can protect the bolt 9 from being exposed, and even if the protective cylinders 13 slightly rotate on the sleeve pipes 12 due to vibration force, the normal use of the air filter is not affected.
[0024] The square rod 45 is matched with the square hole 44 in size, and the square rod 45 outside the annular seat II 43 is provided with a protrusion 14, and the distance between the protrusion 14 and the annular seat II 43 is greater than the depth of the strip-shaped groove 11.
[0025] The use method of the air filter is as follows: the sleeve 8 is inserted into the cylinder 7, and the cylinder 7 and the sleeve 8 are locked and fixed by the bolt 9, at this time, the air filter element 2 is inserted into the tray 3 from the sleeve 8, and the top end of the air filter element 2 is fixed by the annular seat I 10, so that the top end and the bottom end of the air filter element 2 are fixed at the same time, so that the horizontal swing of the air filter element 2 is prevented.
[0026] Then the plug 41 is inserted into the sleeve 8 and screwed with the internal thread, so that the plug 41 locks and fixes the top end of the air filter element 2 through the annular seat II 43, and then the tool or hand is inserted into the annular seat II 43 through the air inlet pipe 42, and the screw pipe 47 is rotated, so that the screw pipe 47 rotates on the two groups of screw rods 46, at this time, the square hole 44 abuts against the side wall of the square rod 45, so that the square rod 45 abuts against the screw rod 46 to prevent the screw rod 46 from rotating with the screw pipe 47, and the distance between the two groups of screw rods 46 in the screw pipe 47 is expanded, so that the screw rod 46 drives the square rod 45 to move outward in the square hole 44, and finally the end of the square rod 45 slides into the strip-shaped groove 11. The air filter element 2 is locked and fixed by the locking mechanism 4, and the plug 41 in the locking mechanism 4 is screwed and fixed with the inner wall of the sleeve 8, and the plug 41 is pulled by the strip-shaped groove 11 abutting against the square rod 45, so that the annular seat II 43 and the plug 41 are prevented from rotating outward in the sleeve 8 under the influence of the vibration force, and the connection stability between the locking mechanism 4 and the shell 1 is indirectly improved, so that the locking mechanism 4 can lock and fix the air filter element 2 in the shell 1.
[0027] The dismounting of the air filter element 2 is contrary to the above steps, and when the plug 41 is damaged, it can be directly replaced by dismounting; when the internal thread of the sleeve 8 is damaged, the sleeve 8 can be separated from the cylinder 7 by dismounting the bolt 9, and then the sleeve 8 can be replaced by being pulled out, which is convenient for replacement, and since the sleeve 8 is separated from the cylinder 7 and the shell 1, the replacement cost is also low.
[0028] The above has carried out the detailed explanation to the present application, but the content described is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, cannot be considered for limiting the implementation range of the present application. Any equivalent change and improvement made according to the application scope of the present application should still belong to the patent coverage range of the present application.
