DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The present disclosure will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present disclosure, but not to limit the present disclosure.
[0026] For the purpose of clarity, only the parts of the apparatus that are pertinent to the disclosure have been shown in the drawings, and they do not necessarily represent the actual size or shape of the product. In addition, for the purpose of clarity, in some of the drawings, only one of the parts having the same structure or function has been shown schematically, or only one of them has been labeled. In this document, "one" means not only "only one", but also "more than one", and "several" includes "two" and "more than two".
[0027] In this document, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mount", "connected", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixed connection, can also be detachable connection, or integral connection; can be mechanical connection, can also be electrical connection; can be direct connection, can also be indirect connection through an intermediate medium, can be internal communication of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0028] In this disclosure, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "on" or "under" the first feature of the second feature can include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, "on", "above" and "above" of the first feature of the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The "below", "below" and "below" of the first feature of the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0030] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0031] As Figures 1-3The diagram illustrates a sealed air filter automatic cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising: a housing 1; a first base 2 rotatably disposed within the housing 1, having a first abutment 201 capable of abutting one end face of the filter element; a second base 3 movably disposed within the housing 1, having a second abutment 301 capable of abutting the other end face of the filter element, the second base 3 being configured to move closer to and further away from the first base 2, a clamping space 4 between the first base 2 and the second base 3 for accommodating the filter element; and an air pipe 5 disposed within the housing 1, the air pipe 5 having at least one first air outlet 501 configured to face the filter element.
[0032] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, chassis 1 is the outer shell and supporting structure of the entire cleaning machine. Preferably, it is designed to... Figure 1 The chassis 1 shown can be fitted with a base consisting of 40×60mm galvanized square steel columns and cross braces. This provides space for the installation and operation of the internal components, protects them, and creates a relatively enclosed cleaning environment, preventing dust and other contaminants generated during cleaning from spreading to the outside environment. Figure 1 The image shows the internal structure of chassis 1, but does not show the completely enclosed cover of chassis 1. The cover of chassis 1 can be set according to the actual situation and chassis 1 model. It can cover chassis 1 and can be easily opened to allow the filter element to be put in and taken out.
[0033] The first base 2 is rotatably mounted inside the chassis 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rotation is driven by a motor, and the motor is located on the outside of the housing 1. The function of the first abutment 201 is to abut against one end face of the filter element. When the first base 2 rotates, it drives the filter element to rotate synchronously through abutment, thereby expanding the gas purging range.
[0034] The second mounting base 3 can move within the chassis 1. For reference, the movement is typically accomplished through a transmission mechanism such as guide rails and lead screws, enabling it to move closer to or further away from the first mounting base 2. Figure 1 As shown, in this design, a cylindrical guide rod is installed inside the housing 1. The second base 3 is circular, with sleeves at both its upper and lower ends, which are slidably mounted on the guide rod. The second abutment 301 abuts against the other end face of the filter element and cooperates with the first abutment 201 to stably fix the filter element within the clamping space 4 between the first base 2 and the second base 3. Furthermore, the mobility of the second base 3 allows it to accommodate filter elements of different lengths, ensuring effective fixation of filter elements of different specifications by adjusting its position.
[0035] The air pipe 5 is arranged in the cabinet 1, and the layout is to enable effective blowing of the filter element. The air pipe 5 has at least one first air outlet 501, which is directed to the filter element, and through the connection of an external air source (such as an air compressor, etc.), high-pressure gas is sprayed out, so that the dust on the surface of the filter element is blown off.
[0036] Through the rotation of the first seat 2 and the movement of the second seat 3, and the blowing function of the air pipe 5, the automatic operation of the filter element cleaning is realized, the manual intervention is reduced, and the cleaning efficiency is improved. Compared with the traditional manual cleaning method, the labor cost and time cost are greatly saved.
[0037] In some examples, the first seat 2 also has an insertion part 202 which abuts against the inner wall of the filter element.
[0038] For example, as shown in Figure 1 The insertion part 202 should have a shape and size suitable for insertion into the inside of the filter element, and it is usually columnar or other structures adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the filter element, which is usually cylindrical and has a core hole, that is, the insertion part 202 abuts against the inner wall of the core hole. It is connected to the first seat 2 and is arranged at a position where it can be accurately inserted into the inside of the filter element to realize abutment with the inner wall of the filter element. As shown in Figure 1 The insertion part 202 used in the present scheme is columnar, and the outer diameter size of the insertion part 202 should be adapted to the inner diameter size of the filter element. When different inner diameter sizes of filter elements need to be cleaned, the second seat 3 or the insertion part 202 needs to be replaced correspondingly, so the second seat 3 or the insertion part 202 is preferably a detachable structure.
[0039] The insertion part 202 abuts against the inner wall of the filter element, which provides additional fixing points and support force compared with abutment with the end face only. This makes the filter element more stable when rotating under the driving of the first seat 2, reduces the possible shaking or deviation of the filter element during rotation, and thus improves the stability and reliability of the entire cleaning process, ensuring the consistency of the cleaning effect.
[0040] In some examples, the elastic member 6 is arranged at one end of the cabinet 1 and at the other end of the second seat 3, and is located on the side of the second seat 3 away from the first seat 2. The elastic member 6 can elastically push the second seat 3 to make the second seat 3 close to the first seat 2.
[0041] For example, the elastic member 6 is a spring, elastic rubber, etc., as shown in Figure 1As shown, this design uses a spring, installed on the side of the second base 3 away from the first base 2. This arrangement ensures that the elastic force generated by the elastic element 6 is directed towards the first base 2. This installation method guarantees that the elastic element 6 can effectively push the second base 3 closer to the first base 2, thereby clamping and fixing the filter element. When filter elements of different lengths are placed, the second base 3 can automatically adjust its position under the action of the elastic element 6 to adapt to changes in filter element length. No complex manual adjustments are required, improving the ease of use and versatility of the equipment, and enabling rapid adaptation to cleaning of filter elements of different specifications.
[0042] In some examples, the rotating rod 7 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 1 and located on one side of the clamping space 4; at least one striking pad 8 is disposed on the rotating rod 7, and the length of the striking pad 8 is configured such that after the rotating rod 7 rotates, the striking pad 8 rotates through the clamping space 4.
[0043] For example, the rotating rod 7 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 1, located on one side of the clamping space 4, and at least one striking pad 8 is mounted on the rotating rod 7. Its installation method may involve welding, bolting, or other suitable fixing methods to ensure it does not fall off during the rotation of the rotating rod 7. The length of the striking pad 8 is configured such that after the rotating rod 7 rotates, the striking pad 8 can rotate through the clamping space 4. This ensures that the striking pad 8 can effectively contact the outer surface of the filter element for striking, but it is not too long and would interfere with other components inside the housing 1.
[0044] By tapping the outer surface of the filter element with the tapping pad 8, stubborn dust and impurities adhering to the filter element surface can be more easily removed. Compared with simple air blowing, the tapping action can shake off some particles with strong adhesion. Combined with the air blowing through the air tube 5, the removed impurities are blown away, thus cleaning the filter element more comprehensively and thoroughly and improving the cleaning effect.
[0045] In some examples, the insertion part 202 is cylindrical and has an insertion groove 203 for receiving the end of the filter element, the radial cross-sectional diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the insertion groove 203.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the insertion part 202 is designed as a cylinder with an insertion groove 203 inside, which can be used to fix and clean filter elements of various sizes. When the overall size of the filter element is small, one end of it can be placed into the insertion groove 203 so that the bottom of the insertion groove 203 abuts against one end face of the filter element, and the filter element is fixed in conjunction with the second base 3, which improves adaptability.
[0047] In some examples, the trachea 5 also has at least one second vent 502, which is configured to face the bottom of the chassis 1.
[0048] For example, the bottom of the cabinet 1 is usually a place where dust and other impurities are easy to accumulate, because when cleaning the filter element, part of the dust will fall to the bottom of the cabinet 1 under the action of gravity. The second air outlet 502 is configured to face the bottom of the cabinet 1. By facing the second air outlet 502 towards the bottom of the cabinet 1, the area can be swept in a targeted manner. This ensures the cleanliness of the interior environment of the cleaning machine, reduces the impact of dust on other parts of the equipment, and helps to prolong the service life of the equipment.
[0049] In some examples, the first air outlet 501 and the second air outlet 502 are both multiple, and the multiple first air outlets 501 and the multiple second air outlets 502 both extend along the axial direction of the air pipe 5.
[0050] For example, as shown in Figure 3 The multiple first air outlets 501 and the multiple second air outlets 502 extend along the axial direction of the air pipe 5, so that the air pipe 5 has air outlet capability at different positions in the length direction, increasing the coverage and controllability of gas injection. Effectively remove dust and impurities from various parts of the filter element, improving the thoroughness of cleaning the filter element. For the bottom of the cabinet 1, the multiple second air outlets 502 extend along the axial direction and can evenly blow the bottom area, avoiding blind areas during cleaning, ensuring that the dust at the bottom of the cabinet 1 is effectively removed, and reducing the possibility of dust accumulation and secondary pollution. Multiple air outlets work simultaneously, increasing the amount of gas injected and the coverage area per unit time, and shortening the time required to clean the filter element and the bottom of the cabinet 1. Compared with the cleaning method of a single air outlet, the cleaning task can be completed in a shorter time, improving the working efficiency of the equipment and meeting the demand for rapid cleaning of filter elements in industrial production.
[0051] In some examples, the air pipe 5 is arranged close to the bottom wall of the cabinet 1, the first air outlet 501 is arranged inclined upward, and the second air outlet 502 is arranged inclined downward.
[0052] For example, the air pipe 5 is arranged close to the bottom wall of the cabinet 1, which makes reasonable use of the space inside the cabinet 1 and avoids conflicts between the air pipe 5 and other important components (such as the first seat 2, the second seat 3, etc.) in space. This layout makes the internal structure of the cabinet 1 more compact, realizes the installation and function realization of the air pipe 5 in a limited space, and improves the space utilization efficiency.
[0053] The first air outlet 501 is arranged inclined upward, so that the gas can impact the surface of the filter element at a suitable angle, which is more conducive to blowing off the dust and other impurities on the surface of the filter element compared with vertical or other direction blowing, improving the cleaning effect of the filter element. The second air outlet 502 is arranged inclined downward, which can directly blow the bottom of the cabinet 1 and blow up the dust accumulated at the bottom, facilitating subsequent collection or discharge, and further ensuring the cleanliness of the interior of the cabinet 1.
[0054] The inclined gas outlet design reduces the mutual interference between the gases. The upward gas flow direction of the first gas outlet 501 is different from the downward gas flow direction of the second gas outlet 502, avoiding the formation of chaotic air flow inside the case 1, so that the gas can more effectively act on the respective cleaning target (the filter element and the bottom of the case 1), improving the utilization efficiency of the gas and the cleaning effect.
[0055] In some examples, the bottom of the case 1 towards which the second gas outlet 502 is directed is located below the clamping space 4 and close to the air pipe 5.
[0056] For example, since the dust generated during the cleaning of the filter element will fall to the bottom of the case 1 below the clamping space 4 under the action of gravity, the second gas outlet 502 is directed towards this area, which can effectively clean the key area of dust accumulation. Compared with random blowing, this targeted design can more effectively remove dust, ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the case 1, and reduce the impact of dust on other parts of the equipment.
[0057] In some examples, the air extractor 9 is arranged on the case 1, and the air extractor 9 and the air pipe 5 are respectively located on both sides of the clamping space 4, and the air extractor 9 is directed towards the clamping space 4.
[0058] For example, the air extractor 9 is directed towards the clamping space 4, and by generating suction, it can suck in the air in the clamping space 4 and the dust and other impurities blown down by the air pipe 5, thereby realizing the circulation and purification of the air inside the case 1.
[0059] The air pipe 5 and the air extractor 9 are respectively located on both sides of the clamping space 4, the air pipe 5 is responsible for blowing gas to the surface of the filter element to blow off dust and other impurities, and the air extractor 9 generates suction on the other side to suck away the air containing dust. The two work together to form a complete air flow circulation system from blowing to suction, ensuring effective cleaning of the filter element and cleaning of the air inside the case 1.
[0060] The presence of the air extractor 9 not only helps to clean the filter element, but also purifies the air inside the case 1. By sucking out the air containing dust, and then discharging or recycling after filtration or other treatment, the dust content in the air inside the case 1 can be effectively reduced, providing a cleaner environment for the operation of the equipment, and reducing the damage of dust to the equipment.
[0061] The automatic working mode of the air extractor 9 and the air pipe 5 reduces the need for manual cleaning. In the traditional cleaning method, manual cleaning of the dust inside the case 1 may be required frequently, while the present scheme can automatically complete most of the cleaning work through the cooperation of the air extractor 9 and the air pipe 5, saving labor costs and improving work efficiency.
[0062] The layout of the air extractor 9 and the air duct 5 on both sides of the clamping space 4 makes the maintenance of the device relatively convenient. When performing maintenance, the staff can more easily access the air extractor 9 and the air duct 5 to perform inspection, cleaning or replacement, etc. At the same time, due to this layout, the accumulation of dust on other components inside the cabinet 1 is reduced, and the difficulty and frequency of maintenance of other components are also reduced.
[0063] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure rather than limit the present disclosure. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and all should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present disclosure.
