Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air filtration, and in particular to a balanced and sealed liquid tank air filter and laminar flow structure. Background Technology
[0002] An air filter is a device that uses porous filter materials to capture dust from a gas-solid two-phase flow and purify the gas. It is widely used in high-purity fields such as electronics manufacturing and biomedicine. For example, air filters are a core component of laminar flow ceiling systems.
[0003] In existing technologies, when applied to laminar flow ceiling systems, air filters are installed and applied through fixed sealing or movable sealing. Fixed sealing has high maintenance costs and high replacement costs for the filter structure. Movable sealing air filters usually use a single liquid tank structure to connect to the ceiling, but this structure has poor sealing performance. Once vibration occurs during operation, unfiltered air is easily leaked, resulting in unstable air filtration performance. Utility Model Content

[0016] In this embodiment, the opening of the first liquid seal tank is provided with a first snap-fit component, and the bottom of the ventilation duct is provided with a second snap-fit component, which is connected to the first snap-fit component.
[0017] The embodiments of this utility model have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0039] Air filters are devices that use porous filter materials to capture dust from gas-solid two-phase flows, thus purifying the gas. They are widely used in high-cleanliness fields such as electronics manufacturing and biomedicine; for example, air filters are a core component of laminar flow ceiling systems. In existing technologies, when applied to laminar flow ceiling systems, air filters are installed using either fixed or movable seals. Fixed seals have high maintenance and filter replacement costs.
[0040] Air filters with movable seals typically use a single-liquid-tank structure to connect to the ceiling, facilitating replacement and maintenance. However, this single-structure design suffers from poor sealing, making them prone to leaks of unfiltered air during operation, leading to unstable filtration and substandard air purification. Existing air filters with single-liquid-tanks for ceiling-mounted connections also suffer from high workloads, are prone to damage, and have short lifespans. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air filter that can evenly distribute the workload across different areas, improve structural stability, extend service life, and simplify maintenance.
[0041] The following is for reference only. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 9 This invention describes a balanced-sealed liquid-sink type air filter and laminar flow structure, which provides a comprehensive and stable sealing effect, is easy to maintain, and has a good air filtration and purification effect.
[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A balanced-sealed liquid-tank air filter according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0043] The frame 100 is equipped with an air filter element 110. The frame 100 is generally made of aluminum, which is lightweight and stable. The air filter element 110 divides the interior of the frame 100 into upper and lower spaces along the horizontal direction. The air filter element 110 can be a HEPA filter element. The top of the frame 100 is provided with a first liquid seal groove 120, which stores liquid sealant. The first liquid seal groove 120 is used for connection of the ventilation duct 400 in the ceiling. Liquid sealant, also known as liquid sealant, has the characteristics of high filtration efficiency, low resistance, and large dust holding capacity. After curing, the liquid sealant is an elastic colloid. When the entity connected by the liquid sealant can be easily separated, the liquid sealant regains its elasticity. When the entity is inserted into the liquid sealant, the liquid sealant can automatically restore the sealing effect. The frame 100 is surrounded by a sealing side plate 130, and the bottom of the frame 100 is provided with a bottom plate 140, which has a through hole 141.
[0044] Mounting components 200, at least two in number, are provided and are symmetrical about the center of the frame 100. Each mounting component 200 includes a positioning seat 210, a lifting column 220, a translation rod 230, and a lifting screw 240. The positioning seat 210 is connected to the outside of the frame 100 and has a vertically connected longitudinal channel 211 and a transverse channel 212. One end of the transverse channel 212 is connected to one side of the longitudinal channel 211, and the other end of the transverse channel 212 is connected to the external environment. The longitudinal channel 211 is perpendicular to the frame 100. The horizontal channel 212 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the bottom end of the vertical channel 211 is connected to the through hole 141. The lifting screw 240 is rotatably connected to the through hole 141. Preferably, the lifting screw 240 is rotatably connected to the base plate 140 through a bearing. The lifting column 220 is slidably connected in the vertical channel 211. The lifting column 220 can achieve lifting and lowering movement under the constraint of the vertical channel 211. The bottom of the lifting column 220 is provided with a lifting screw hole 221, and the lifting screw 240 is threadedly connected to the lifting screw hole 221. The screw head of screw 240 is located below the base plate 140. Tightening the lifting screw 240 drives the lifting column 220 to move up and down in the lifting channel. The translation rod 230 is slidably connected to the transverse channel 212. Under the constraint of the transverse channel 212, the translation rod 230 can move horizontally. The translation rod 230 is used to connect to the external laminar flow support. The top of the lifting column 220 is provided with a first wedge structure 222, and one end of the translation rod 230 is provided with a second wedge structure 231. The first wedge structure 222 and the second wedge structure 231... The two wedge structures 231 are slidably connected so that the translation rod 230 moves with the lifting column 220 in the horizontal direction, thereby allowing the translation rod 230 to extend or retract into the transverse channel 212. When the translation rod 230 extends out of the transverse channel 212, it can be engaged with the laminar flow bracket, thereby achieving the positioning of the frame 100. Specifically, when the lifting screw 240 is rotated, the lifting column 220 rises and falls vertically to the horizontal plane, and the wedge structure pushes the translation rod 230 to move horizontally, thereby achieving the positioning between the air filter and the applied laminar flow bracket.
[0045] The face frame 300 is detachably connected to the bottom plate 140. The face frame 300 is provided with a second liquid seal groove 310 surrounding the frame 100. The second liquid seal groove 310 stores liquid sealant. The face frame 300 is detachable to facilitate the replacement of the liquid sealant in the second liquid seal groove 310, which can effectively facilitate maintenance. The sealing side plate 130 is inserted into the liquid sealant in the second liquid seal groove 310. The second liquid seal groove 310 is also used to provide a connection and seal for the sealing frame 510 of the ceiling body 500.
[0046] The application status can be referenced Figures 4 to 9 As shown.
[0047] By sealing different connection areas with two liquid seal tanks, a double sealing barrier is formed, effectively ensuring the sealing effect even during vibration during operation. The sealing effect is comprehensive and reliable, effectively preventing the leakage of unfiltered air. The air filtration and purification effect is stable and reliable. Furthermore, the face frame 300 can be quickly removed from the base plate 140, making the replacement and maintenance of the liquid sealant in the second liquid seal tank 310 convenient, efficient, and low-cost. It effectively maintains the effectiveness of the liquid sealant in the second liquid seal tank 310, exhibiting strong dynamic adaptability. By ensuring the performance of the liquid sealant, it can effectively adapt to different working scenarios, thereby effectively maintaining the sealing effect of this air filter during application and avoiding the limitations of traditional methods. The increased operating costs resulting from replacing the entire filter in this solution effectively improve the reliability of air filtration and purification, extend its effective service life, and prevent the performance of the air filter from being affected by the deterioration or even failure of the liquid sealant. The installation component 200 enables the positioning between the frame 100 and the applied laminar flow support, separating different structures to achieve sealing isolation and positioning installation, effectively reducing the workload of each structure, providing high fault tolerance for unexpected situations during application, ensuring reliable air filtration and purification, and maintaining a stable and robust overall structure. The horizontal movement of the translation rod 230 can be achieved by adjusting the lifting screw 240, making installation and operation convenient and maintenance costs low.
[0048] It is understood that the sealing plate 130 includes a horizontal plate 131 and a vertical plate 132 that are both framed around it. The horizontal plate 131 and the vertical plate 132 can be integrally formed. The inner side of the frame of the horizontal plate 131 is connected to the frame 100, the top of the vertical plate 132 is connected to the outer side of the frame of the horizontal plate 131, and the bottom of the vertical plate 132 is inserted into the liquid sealant of the second liquid seal groove 310. The horizontal plate 131 is located above the bottom plate 140, and the vertical plate 132 is located around the bottom plate 140.
[0049] By using a horizontal plate 131 parallel to the horizontal plane to extend the vertical plate 132 outwards around the perimeter of the frame 100, it is ensured that the vertical plate 132 can be smoothly aligned and inserted into the second liquid seal groove 310. The horizontal plate 131 forms a sealing connection between the vertical plate 132 and the frame 100, effectively ensuring sealing performance during application. The width of the horizontal plate 131 can be set to 10-15 mm, effectively providing a mounting base for the vertical plate 132 and expanding the sealing coverage area.
[0050] Understandably, the base plate 140 is also provided with a first positioning screw hole 142, and the face frame 300 is provided with a positioning plate 320. The positioning plate 320 is provided with a second positioning screw hole 321. Positioning screws 330 are threadedly connected to the first positioning screw hole 142 and the second positioning screw hole 321. The screw head of the positioning screw 330 is located below the face frame 300. By turning the positioning screw 330, the face frame 300 and the base plate 140 can be locked or disassembled. The connection between the face frame 300 and the base plate 140 is achieved by the threaded connection, which can effectively facilitate disassembly and assembly operations, and the installation connection effect is stable and reliable.
[0051] Understandably, the bottom of the base plate 140 is provided with a slot 143 that matches the positioning plate 320. The first positioning screw hole 142 is located at the bottom of the slot 143. The positioning plate 320 is engaged in the slot 143, which provides good foolproof installation and convenient operation. Furthermore, the slot 143 and the positioning plate 320 can further improve the stability and reliability of the positioning effect between the base plate 140 and the face frame 300.
[0052] It is understood that there are four sets of first positioning screw holes 142, positioning plates 320 and locking grooves 143, that is, there are four first positioning screw holes 142, positioning plates 320 and locking grooves 143, and each positioning plate 320 also has four second positioning screw holes 321 and positioning screws 330. The four first positioning screw holes 142 are evenly distributed on the base plate 140, and the positions of the positioning plates 320 and locking grooves 143 correspond to the positions of the first positioning screw holes 142.
[0053] Understandably, the first wedge structure 222 is a slider with a T-shaped cross-section, and the extension direction of the slider forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane. That is, the slider extends in a T-shaped cross-section along the direction inclined to the horizontal plane. The acute angle can be set to 15° to 60°. The second wedge structure 231 is a groove with a T-shaped cross-section, and the extension direction of the groove is the same as the extension direction of the groove. That is, the groove extends in a T-shaped cross-section along the direction inclined to the horizontal plane.
[0054] Specifically, the acute angle plus the included angle is set to 30°, so that the vertical movement of the lifting column 220 can be efficiently converted into the horizontal displacement of the translation rod 230. The T-shaped slider includes a vertical neck section and a horizontal wing section, which are fixedly connected to the top of the lifting column 220 to provide structural support. The horizontal wing sections are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the neck section and form a double guide surface. The inner wall of the T-shaped slide is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene, which can effectively improve the smoothness of the movement.
[0055] It is understood that the mounting components 200 are provided in four sets, and the four sets of mounting components 200 are evenly distributed on the opposite sides of the frame 100. That is, the mounting components 200 are evenly distributed on the opposite sides of the frame 100 with two sets on each side. This simplifies the structure of the matching laminar flow bracket and simplifies the layout design. The four sets of mounting components 200 can effectively improve the stability of the air filter installed on the applied laminar flow bracket.
[0056] Reference Figures 4 to 9 A laminar flow structure according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a balanced-seal liquid-sink air filter according to any of the first aspects of the present invention, and further includes a ventilation duct 400 and a ceiling body 500. The bottom of the ventilation duct 400 is inserted into the liquid-sink adhesive of the first liquid-seal groove 120. Preferably, the insertion depth of the bottom of the ventilation duct 400 is 70% to 80% of the depth of the liquid-sink adhesive. The ceiling body 500 is provided with a sealing frame 510. The bottom of the sealing frame 510 is inserted into the liquid-sink adhesive of the second liquid-seal groove 310. Preferably, the insertion depth of the bottom of the sealing frame 510 is 70% to 80% of the depth of the liquid-sink adhesive.
[0057] It is understandable that the opening of the first liquid seal tank 120 is provided with a first snap-fit 121, and the bottom of the ventilation duct 400 is provided with a second snap-fit 410 that matches the first snap-fit 121. The second snap-fit 410 is snapped into place with the first snap-fit 121, which can effectively improve the stability of the relative position between the plate frame and the ventilation duct 400 when applied to a laminar flow structure.
[0058] Specifically, both the first and second locking components are locking plate structures, that is, the second locking component 410 is a knife-edge structure extending from the bottom edge of the ventilation duct 400, and the second locking component is supported by the bottom of the first locking component.
