Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of filter cartridge testing equipment, and in particular to a filter cartridge life identification device. Background Technology
[0002] Filter cartridge life identification devices are typically used to monitor the usage status of filter cartridges to determine whether they need replacement. Differential pressure switches are typically used to monitor the working status of filter cartridges. When the pressure difference of the filter exceeds a set threshold, the differential pressure switch will trigger a switching signal, indicating that the filter cartridge needs to be replaced or cleaned. In existing technology, differential pressure switches usually have an adjustment screw on the outside to set the threshold for triggering the differential pressure. Furthermore, the housing of the differential pressure switch also has fixing screws for disassembly and maintenance. With this design, operators can easily misadjust the differential pressure threshold during routine equipment maintenance, inspection, and cleaning, causing abnormal equipment response and interfering with system operation. At the same time, the fixing screws are easily disassembled and modified by unauthorized personnel. An inappropriate threshold—too low, leading to frequent system start-ups and shutdowns and increased wear; too high, failing to trigger in time, failing to effectively monitor and protect the filter cartridge, and adversely affecting the system. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the present invention proposes a filter cartridge life identification device, including a differential pressure switch 1, a mounting screw 26 and a pair of adjusting screws 11 disposed on the differential pressure switch 1, and a T-shaped cover 3 and an I-shaped cover 4 movably connected to the differential pressure switch 1 to cover the adjusting screws 11 and the mounting screws 26. Both the T-shaped cover 3 and the I-shaped cover 4 are made of sturdy and durable stainless steel. The T-shaped cover 3 and the I-shaped cover 4 are fixedly connected.
[0026] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cover plate 2 is equipped with a switching mechanism. The switching mechanism is used to fix the T-shaped cover 3 and the I-shaped cover 4 to the pressure differential switch 1 and the cover plate 2. The switching mechanism includes a positioning block 21 fixedly connected to the cover plate 2. The positioning block 21 cooperates with the I-shaped positioning hole 42 to install the I-shaped cover 4 and the T-shaped cover 3 in the specified positions. In this way, the relative positions between the parts are kept consistent during the assembly process, avoiding deviations. The positioning block 21 has an insertion hole 22. The I-shaped cover 4 has an I-shaped positioning hole 42 in the middle for the positioning block 21 to pass through. An insertion cylinder 24 is inserted into the insertion hole 22. After the insertion cylinder 24 is inserted into the insertion hole 22, it drives the bonding plate 23 to press tightly against the I-shaped cover 4, so that the I-shaped cover 4 cannot move away from the outer wall of the cover plate 2. One end of the insert 24 is fixedly connected to a bonding plate 23. A padlock 25 is hung inside the bonding plate 23 and the insert 24. The padlock 25 provides physical security by locking the target item or area to prevent unauthorized persons from obtaining access.
[0027] In addition, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the differential pressure switch 1 and the T-shaped cover 3 are equipped with a reinforcing mechanism to prevent one end of the T-shaped cover 3 from being easily pried up by a tool. The cover plate 2 is slidably connected to the differential pressure switch 1. The reinforcing mechanism includes an M-shaped locking block 12 fixedly connected to the differential pressure switch 1. A pair of insert rods 13 are fixedly connected to the M-shaped locking block 12. The end of the T-shaped cover 3 away from the I-shaped cover 4 has an M-shaped slot 32 for the M-shaped locking block 12 to be inserted into. The inside of the M-shaped slot 32 has a pair of positioning grooves 33 for the insert rods 13 to be inserted into. After the insert rods 13 are inserted into the positioning grooves 33, they are firmly installed on the differential pressure switch 1 by the M-shaped locking block 12, so that one end of the T-shaped cover 3 is firmly connected to the differential pressure switch 1.
[0028] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 4 As shown, both the T-shaped cover 3 and the I-shaped cover 4 have grooves 341 corresponding to the adjusting screw 11 and the mounting screw 26. The grooves 341 allow the first observation window 31 and the second observation window 41 to easily view the status of the adjusting screw 11 and the mounting screw 26.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the T-shaped cover 3 has a pair of first observation windows 31 corresponding to the groove 341, and the I-shaped cover 4 has a second observation window 41 corresponding to the groove 341 at the end away from the T-shaped cover 3. Both the first observation windows 31 and the second observation window 41 are made of tempered glass, and their function is to check the status of the adjusting screw 11 and the mounting screw 26. The pair of first observation windows 31, the positioning groove 33, the insert rod 13 and the adjusting screw 11 are all symmetrically arranged with the I-shaped positioning hole 42 as the center.
[0030] In this embodiment, when a filter life identification device is required, such as Figure 2 As shown, the threshold for triggering the differential pressure can be set by a pair of adjusting screws 11 on the differential pressure switch 1, while the internal components of the differential pressure switch 1 can be disassembled and maintained by the mounting screws 26 on the cover plate 2. Afterwards, simply use a key to open the padlock 25, then remove it from the bonding plate 23 and the insert 24, allowing the insert 24 to be removed from the insertion hole 22 on the positioning block 21. Next, place the T-shaped cover 3 flat on top of the differential pressure switch 1, aligning the pair of insert rods 13 with the pair of positioning slots 33, and then push the T-shaped cover 3 towards the M-shaped locking block 12. The T-shaped cover 3 moves the positioning slots 33 for the insert rods 13 to insert, and the M-shaped locking block 12 also engages in the M-shaped locking slots 32. Simultaneously, the T-shaped cover 3 moves the I-shaped cover 4 towards the differential pressure switch 1, causing the positioning block 21 to insert into the I-shaped positioning hole 42, thus installing the T-shaped cover 3 and the I-shaped cover 4 onto the differential pressure switch 1. Figure 1 The state of the adjusting screw 11 and the mounting screw 26 is thus prevented from being altered or disassembled by unauthorized personnel. Finally, the bonding plate 23 is moved to insert the insert 24 into the socket 22, and the padlock 25 is used to lock the bonding plate 23 and the insert 24, preventing the T-shaped cover 3 and the I-shaped cover 4 from moving away from the pressure differential switch 1. Furthermore, the first observation window 31 on the T-shaped cover 3 and the second observation window 41 on the I-shaped cover 4 allow direct viewing of the state of the adjusting screw 11 and the mounting screw 26.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
