Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and specifically to a filter cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] During battery production, impurities in the incoming slurry need to be filtered through filter cartridges. After prolonged use, filter residue accumulates on the surface of the filter cartridges, requiring cleaning to maintain their filtration efficiency. Current filter cartridge cleaning methods typically involve manual cleaning, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, this application provides a filter element cleaning device to improve the cleaning efficiency of the filter element.
[0004] This application provides a filter element cleaning device, including a housing, a filter element clamping mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism. The housing has an inner cavity. The filter element clamping mechanism is disposed in the inner cavity and includes a plurality of clamping portions spaced apart in a circumferential direction for clamping the filter element. The cleaning mechanism is disposed in the inner cavity and located circumferentially outside the filter element clamping mechanism, and the cleaning mechanism has a water outlet for spraying water onto the filter element to clean it. The filter element clamping mechanism further includes a driving mechanism configured to drive the clamping portions to rotate about a first axis and drive the plurality of clamping portions to revolve about a second axis.
[0005] The drive mechanism of the filter element cleaning device in this embodiment drives the clamping part to rotate around its own axis while also driving multiple clamping parts to revolve around the periphery. This allows the cleaning mechanism located on the outer periphery to simultaneously clean multiple filter elements from all directions, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. Moreover, by driving multiple clamping parts to revolve around the periphery to drive multiple filter elements to revolve around the periphery, only a minimum of one cleaning mechanism needs to be provided on the outer periphery to achieve cleaning of multiple filter elements, thus making the structure of the filter element cleaning device in this embodiment simpler.
[0006] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a plurality of planetary gears corresponding to a plurality of clamping portions, a central gear disposed inside the plurality of planetary gears, and a gear ring disposed outside the plurality of planetary gears, wherein an annular gap is formed between the central gear and the gear ring, and the plurality of planetary gears are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the annular gap.
[0007] The planetary gear mechanism offers high motion stability, thereby improving the operational reliability of the filter cleaning device. Furthermore, multiple planetary gears are spaced apart within an annular gap, creating a void between adjacent planetary gears. This allows wastewater from cleaning the filter element to flow through the gap between adjacent planetary gears into the lower side of the housing, preventing it from accumulating in the inner cavity of the housing and avoiding any adverse effects of wastewater on the cleaning effect.
[0008] In some embodiments, the central gear includes a gear disk and gear teeth disposed on the outer edge of the gear disk. The gear disk is provided with a through hole extending in the thickness direction. The filter element cleaning device also includes a sewage collection device disposed on the lower side of the drive mechanism. The sewage after cleaning the filter element flows into the sewage collection device through the through hole and the gap between two adjacent planetary gears.
[0009] By incorporating through holes in the gear disk, wastewater can be allowed to flow out promptly. This prevents wastewater accumulation from negatively impacting both the cleaning effect and the operation of the planetary gear mechanism. Furthermore, the through holes also reduce the weight of the gear disk.
[0010] In some embodiments, the clamping part includes a base and at least two clamping blocks disposed on the base, the at least two clamping blocks being spaced apart in the circumferential direction to clamp the filter element.
[0011] The clamping part of this application embodiment uses at least two clamping blocks to clamp the filter element, so that the filter element can be subjected to clamping force at different positions in the circumferential direction, thus making the clamping more reliable and improving the clamping stability of the filter element during the cleaning process.
[0012] In some embodiments, the filter cartridge clamping mechanism further includes an elastic element disposed at the end of the clamping block away from the filter cartridge, the elastic element being configured to apply an elastic force to the clamping block near the filter cartridge.
[0013] The elastic element can automatically adjust the clamping force according to the size and shape of the filter element, adapting to filter elements of different specifications. Moreover, the design of the elastic element ensures that the filter element is subjected to uniform force, avoiding excessive local stress that could cause localized damage. Furthermore, when the filter element vibrates due to the impact of high-pressure water, the elastic element can absorb the vibration and impact.
[0014] In some embodiments, the filter element cleaning device further includes a drying mechanism, which is disposed beside the filter element clamping mechanism and has an air outlet for blowing air onto the filter element to dry it. The filter element cleaning device of this application embodiment, by providing a drying mechanism to blow air onto the filter element to dry it, can accelerate the filter element cleaning and reuse process, thereby reducing production costs.
[0015] In some embodiments, the air outlet direction of the air drying mechanism can be adjusted.
[0016] The air outlet direction of the drying mechanism in this embodiment is adjustable. This allows for appropriate adjustment of the air outlet direction based on the distribution of the filter elements, resulting in more even and targeted airflow to the filter elements, thereby accelerating the drying process. Furthermore, the adjustable air outlet direction allows for adaptation to objects of different shapes and sizes, ensuring comprehensive coverage and achieving optimal drying results.
[0017] In some embodiments, the air-drying mechanism has a ventilation duct and an air outlet duct connected to the ventilation duct gas, with the first end of the air outlet duct connected to the ventilation duct and the second end of the air outlet duct forming an air outlet, and the air outlet duct is constructed as a flexible duct.
[0018] The air outlet duct of the drying mechanism in this embodiment is constructed as a flexible duct. This allows the shape of the flexible duct to be adaptively changed when drying the filter cartridge, enabling the air outlet to face different directions. This makes the airflow more targeted and improves the drying effect. Furthermore, the flexible duct design allows operators to easily adjust the airflow direction as needed, facilitating operation and maintenance.
[0019] In some embodiments, the air outlet duct includes a universal bamboo-joint tube. The universal bamboo-joint tube is adjustable at multiple angles, and its structure allows it to be held at a specific angle. Therefore, using a universal bamboo-joint tube to form an air outlet duct is simple in structure and easy to operate. Furthermore, the bamboo-joint structure provides stable support, thereby improving the stability of the air outlet direction.
[0020] In some embodiments, the axial direction of the ventilation duct is configured to be parallel to the axial direction of the filter element, and the drying mechanism includes a plurality of air outlet ducts spaced apart in the axial direction of the ventilation duct. The multiple air outlet ducts spaced apart in the axial direction of the filter element ensure that different locations on the filter element receive airflow for drying, avoiding uneven drying in certain areas and guaranteeing uniform airflow and drying across all parts of the filter element.
[0021] In some embodiments, the filter cleaning device further includes a controller electrically connected to the drive mechanism, the cleaning mechanism, and the drying mechanism, and the controller is configured to control the operation of the drive mechanism, the cleaning mechanism, and the drying mechanism according to user input.
[0022] The filter cleaning device of this application embodiment is equipped with a controller that is electrically connected to the drive mechanism, the cleaning mechanism and the drying mechanism. This allows the drive mechanism, the cleaning mechanism and the drying mechanism to be automatically controlled according to the user's input, thereby achieving full automation of filter cleaning.
[0023] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to acquire the surface cleanliness of the filter element during the cleaning process of the cleaning mechanism, and to shut down the cleaning mechanism and open the drying mechanism when the surface cleanliness of the filter element reaches a set value.
[0024] After the surface cleanliness of the filter element reaches the set value, the cleaning mechanism is turned off and the drying mechanism is automatically turned on. This achieves automatic connection between the cleaning mechanism and the drying mechanism, further improving the degree of automation and work efficiency.
[0025] In some embodiments, the filter cartridge cleaning device further includes a cover that can be opened and closed onto the housing. The filter cartridge cleaning device of this application opens or closes the inner cavity of the housing by providing a cover on the upper side of the housing. When the filter cartridge cleaning device enters the cleaning state, the cover is closed so that the water sprayed from the outlet of the cleaning mechanism can be kept within the inner cavity of the housing, preventing splashing and harm to people and the environment.

In order to better understand the technical means of this application and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this application more obvious and understandable, the following are specific embodiments of this application.

[0053] Currently, judging from market trends, battery applications are becoming increasingly widespread. Batteries are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also extensively in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as in aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of battery applications, market demand is also constantly increasing.
[0054] In the battery manufacturing process, impurities in the incoming slurry need to be filtered through a filter element. After prolonged use, impurities accumulate on the filter element's surface, necessitating cleaning to maintain its filtration efficiency. Current technologies involve manual cleaning with a water gun, which is inefficient.
[0055] To improve the cleaning efficiency of filter elements, this application proposes a filter element cleaning device. This device clamps the filter element using a clamping part and drives the filter element to rotate on its own axis while simultaneously revolving around a central point. This allows the cleaning mechanism located on the outer circumferential side to clean multiple filter elements simultaneously, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the simultaneous rotation and revolution of the filter element ensures that all areas of its surface receive comprehensive cleaning from the cleaning mechanism, resulting in excellent cleaning performance.
[0056] The following is based on Figures 1 to 8 The structure and operation of the filter cleaning device according to some embodiments of this application will be described in detail.
[0057] refer to Figure 1 The filter element cleaning device provided in some embodiments of this application includes a housing 10, a filter element clamping mechanism 30, and a cleaning mechanism 40. The housing 10 has an inner cavity. The filter element clamping mechanism 30 is disposed in the inner cavity and includes a plurality of clamping portions 31 spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The clamping portions 31 are used to clamp filter element A. The cleaning mechanism 40 is disposed in the inner cavity and located circumferentially outside the filter element clamping mechanism 30, and the cleaning mechanism 40 has a water outlet. The water outlet is used to spray water onto the filter element to clean filter element A. The filter element clamping mechanism 30 also includes a drive mechanism 32. The drive mechanism 32 is configured to drive the clamping portions 31 to rotate about a first axis and drive the plurality of clamping portions 31 to revolve about a second axis.
[0058] refer to Figure 1 The inner cavity of the housing 10 is used to house the filter element clamping mechanism 30 and the cleaning mechanism 40. The housing 10 forms a protective barrier against the cleaning action to prevent wastewater from splashing outwards after cleaning the filter element A, which could cause damage to the environment or personnel. The top of the housing 10 is open to form an opening for taking in and removing the filter element, and a cover 60 is provided at this opening to close or open the opening. When the filter element cleaning device of this embodiment enters the cleaning state, the cover 60 is closed to prevent wastewater from flowing out; after cleaning is completed, the cover 60 is opened to remove the cleaned filter element. A through hole is provided in the middle of the bottom wall of the housing 10, and the filter element clamping mechanism is installed in the through hole. The cleaning mechanism 40 is located at the edge of the bottom wall of the housing 10. Figure 1 In the specific embodiment shown, the shell 10 is a cuboid shell. In other embodiments not shown in the figures, the shell 10 may also be a cylindrical shell or other shapes.
[0059] The cleaning mechanism 40 has a water outlet to spray water onto the filter element to clean it. In some embodiments, to improve the cleaning effect, the cleaning mechanism 40 is a high-pressure cleaning mechanism, which uses a high-pressure pump to generate high-pressure water to rinse the filter element under high pressure. (Reference) Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the cleaning mechanism 40 includes a water pipe 41 and a plurality of nozzles 42 fluidly connected to the water pipe 41, wherein the plurality of nozzles 42 extend along the axial direction of the filter element to achieve full-range cleaning of the filter element in the axial direction.
[0060] The filter cartridge clamping mechanism 30 includes a plurality of clamping portions 31 spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The clamping portions 31 are used to clamp filter cartridges A, thus enabling the filter cartridge clamping mechanism 30 of this embodiment to clamp multiple filter cartridges A simultaneously, thereby allowing the filter cartridge cleaning device of this embodiment to clean multiple filter cartridges A simultaneously, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. The clamping portions 31 are used to fix the filter cartridges, such as in some embodiments... Figure 3 As shown, the clamping part 31 fixes the filter element by means of multiple clamping blocks arranged around the filter element; in other embodiments, the clamping part 31 may also use other clamping mechanisms such as robotic arms or suction cups to fix the filter element.
[0061] The drive mechanism 32 of the filter element clamping mechanism 30 in this embodiment is configured to drive the clamping part 31 to rotate around a first axis and drive multiple clamping parts 31 to revolve around a second axis. The first axis refers to the axis of the clamping part 31 itself. When clamping the filter element, the filter element and the clamping part 31 are coaxially arranged. Therefore, when the clamping part 31 rotates around its own axis, it also drives the filter element to rotate around its axis, ensuring that different positions on the surface of the filter element are rinsed by the cleaning mechanism 40. The second axis refers to the central axis of the annular structure formed by the multiple clamping parts 31. Specifically... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, multiple clamping portions 31 are spaced apart on a circumference, and the second axis refers to the central axis of that circumference. In other embodiments not shown in the figures, multiple clamping portions 31 are spaced apart on a square ring, and the second axis refers to the central axis of that square ring. By causing the multiple clamping portions 31 to revolve around the second axis, each clamping portion 31 can rotate to the position of the cleaning mechanism 40 and thus receive rinsing and cleaning from the cleaning mechanism 40. Moreover, this allows for simultaneous cleaning of multiple filter elements without requiring a large number of cleaning mechanisms 40 within the housing 10, making the structure of the filter element cleaning device of this application embodiment simpler and more compact.
[0062] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 32 is a planetary gear mechanism, see reference. Figures 4 to 5The drive mechanism 32 includes a plurality of planetary gears 321, a central gear 322, and a gear ring 323, which are correspondingly arranged with the plurality of clamping parts 31. The plurality of planetary gears 321 are spaced apart between the central gear 322 and the gear ring 323, and each planetary gear meshes with both the central gear 322 and the gear ring 323. This allows the planetary gears 321 to mesh with the central gear 322 and rotate under the drive of the central gear 322 when the central gear 322 rotates. The planetary gears 321 also mesh with the gear ring 323, causing the planetary gears 321 to roll inside the gear ring 323.
[0063] The drive mechanism 32 of the filter element cleaning device in this embodiment drives the clamping part 31 to rotate around its own axis while also driving multiple clamping parts 31 to revolve around the periphery. This allows the cleaning mechanism 40 located on the outer periphery to simultaneously clean multiple filter elements from all directions, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. Moreover, by driving multiple clamping parts 31 to revolve around the periphery, multiple filter elements can be cleaned with only a minimum of one cleaning mechanism on the outer periphery, thus simplifying the structure of the filter element cleaning device in this embodiment.
[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figures 4 to 5 The drive mechanism 32 includes a plurality of planetary gears 321 corresponding to a plurality of clamping parts 31, a central gear 322 disposed inside the plurality of planetary gears 321, and a gear ring 323 disposed outside the plurality of planetary gears 321. An annular gap is formed between the central gear 322 and the gear ring 323. The plurality of planetary gears 321 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the annular gap, and each planetary gear meshes with the central gear 322 and the gear ring 323 respectively.
[0065] refer to Figure 4 Each clamping part 31 has a planetary gear 321 on its lower side for driving the clamping part 31 to rotate. The planetary gear 321 is coaxially connected to the clamping part 31, so that the rotation of the planetary gear 321 can drive the clamping part 31 to rotate. (Reference) Figure 1 and Figure 5 Planetary gear 321 is disposed within the annular gap between the central gear 322 and the ring gear 323, and simultaneously meshes with both the central gear 322 and the ring gear 323 to form a planetary gear mechanism. Figure 5 In the specific embodiment shown, the drive mechanism 32 further includes a drive device 324, which is drivenly connected to the central gear 322. Specifically, the drive device 324 can be a drive motor.
[0066] The drive mechanism 32 in this embodiment is a planetary gear mechanism. By setting multiple planetary gears 321 corresponding to multiple clamping parts 31, the clamping parts 31 can rotate on their own axis while simultaneously revolving around a central axis, thereby achieving all-around cleaning of multiple filter elements by the cleaning mechanism. Moreover, the planetary gear mechanism has high motion stability, thereby improving the working reliability of the filter element cleaning device. Furthermore, the multiple planetary gears 321 are spaced apart within an annular gap, so that there is a gap between two adjacent planetary gears 321. This allows wastewater after cleaning the filter elements to flow into the lower side of the housing through the gap between two adjacent planetary gears, without remaining and accumulating in the inner cavity of the housing, thus avoiding the adverse effects of wastewater on the cleaning effect.
[0067] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the central gear 322 includes a gear disk 3221 and gear teeth 3222 disposed on the outer edge of the gear disk 3221. The gear disk 3221 has a through hole 3221a extending in the thickness direction. The filter element cleaning device also includes a wastewater collection device (not shown in the figure) disposed below the drive mechanism. Wastewater from cleaning the filter element flows into the wastewater collection device through the through hole 3221a and the gap between two adjacent planetary gears.
[0068] refer to Figure 5 The gear disk 3221 has a plurality of through holes 3221a evenly distributed on it. Specifically, the plurality of through holes 3221a are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the gear disk 3221.
[0069] Since the cleaning mechanism 40 of this embodiment is located circumferentially outside the filter element clamping mechanism 30, the water sprayed from the outlet of the cleaning mechanism 40 flows radially inward to the gear disk located on the inner side. Therefore, to avoid sewage accumulation, a through hole is provided on the gear disk so that sewage can flow out through the through hole in a timely manner. This avoids the adverse effects of sewage accumulation on the cleaning effect and also avoids the adverse effects of sewage accumulation on the operation of the planetary gear mechanism. In addition, providing a through hole on the gear disk 3221 can also reduce the weight of the gear disk 3221.
[0070] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The clamping part 31 includes a base 311 and at least two clamping blocks 312 disposed on the base 311. The at least two clamping blocks 312 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction to clamp the filter element.
[0071] refer to Figure 3 At least two clamping blocks 312 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction to clamp the filter element. Further, in Figure 3In the specific embodiment shown, the base 311 includes an annular groove 3111, which includes an inner annular wall and an outer annular wall, forming a receiving groove between the inner and outer annular walls. When clamping the filter element, the filter element is placed in the receiving groove, and the inner and outer annular walls limit the movement of the filter element.
[0072] The clamping part 31 of this application embodiment uses at least two clamping blocks 312 to clamp the filter element, so that the filter element can be subjected to clamping force at different positions in the circumferential direction, thus making the clamping more reliable and improving the clamping stability of the filter element during the cleaning process.
[0073] In some embodiments, the filter element clamping mechanism 30 further includes an elastic element 313 disposed at the end of the clamping block 312 away from the filter element. The elastic element 313 is configured to apply a spring force to the clamping block 312 near the filter element.
[0074] The elastic element 313 can automatically adjust the clamping force according to the size and shape of the filter element, adapting to filter elements of different specifications. Moreover, the setting of the elastic element 313 ensures that the filter element is subjected to uniform force, avoiding excessive local stress that could cause local damage to the filter element. Furthermore, when the filter element vibrates due to the impact of high-pressure water, the elastic element 313 can absorb the vibration and impact.
[0075] In some specific embodiments, the elastic element 313 is a spring.
[0076] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 The filter element cleaning device also includes a drying mechanism 20. The drying mechanism 20 is located beside the filter element clamping mechanism 30 and has an air outlet. The air outlet is used to blow air onto the filter element to dry it.
[0077] After the cleaning mechanism 40 rinses the filter element to ensure no residual slurry remains on its surface, the cleaning mechanism 40 is closed and the drying mechanism 20 is opened. The drying mechanism 20 blows air onto the filter element to dry it, allowing the filter element to be reused in the filter more quickly for slurry filtration, thus further improving cleaning efficiency. Specifically, the drying mechanism 20 blows compressed air onto the filter element to further improve drying efficiency.
[0078] The filter cleaning device of this application embodiment blows air onto the filter to dry it by setting up a drying mechanism 20, which can speed up the process of cleaning and reusing the filter and thus reduce production costs.
[0079] To optimize the drying effect, in some embodiments, the air outlet direction of the air drying mechanism 20 can be adjusted.
[0080] The air outlet direction of the air-drying mechanism 20 in this embodiment is adjustable. This allows the air outlet direction to be adjusted appropriately according to the distribution position of the filter element, thereby enabling the blown air to be blown more evenly and specifically onto the filter element, thus accelerating the drying speed. Furthermore, the adjustable air outlet direction of the air-drying mechanism 20 allows for adjustment of the air outlet direction to adapt to objects of different shapes and sizes, ensuring full coverage and achieving optimal drying results.
[0081] refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the air-drying mechanism 20 includes a ventilation duct 21 and an air outlet duct 22 that is gas-connected to the ventilation duct 21. The first end of the air outlet duct 22 is connected to the ventilation duct 21, and the second end of the air outlet duct 22 forms an air outlet. The air outlet duct 22 is constructed as a flexible tube.
[0082] The air outlet duct 22 of the drying mechanism 20 in this embodiment is constructed as a flexible duct. This allows the shape of the flexible duct to be adaptively changed when using the drying mechanism 20 to dry the filter cartridge, enabling the air outlet to face different directions. This makes the airflow more targeted and improves the drying effect. Furthermore, the flexible design of the air outlet duct 22 allows operators to easily adjust the airflow direction as needed, facilitating operation and maintenance.
[0083] In some embodiments, the air outlet duct 22 includes a universal bamboo-joint tube. The universal bamboo-joint tube is adjustable at multiple angles, and its structure allows it to be held at a specific angle. Therefore, using a universal bamboo-joint tube to form an air outlet duct is simple in structure and easy to operate. Furthermore, the bamboo-joint structure provides stable support, thereby improving the stability of the air outlet direction.
[0084] refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the axial direction of the ventilation duct 21 is configured to be parallel to the axial direction of the filter element A. Furthermore, the drying mechanism 20 includes a plurality of air outlet ducts 22 spaced apart in the axial direction of the ventilation duct 21.
[0085] Multiple air outlet pipes 22 are spaced apart in the axial direction of filter element A, so that different positions of filter element A can receive airflow for drying, avoiding uneven drying in some areas, and ensuring that different positions of filter element can receive airflow and dry evenly.
[0086] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The filter cleaning device also includes a cover 60 that can be opened and closed onto the housing 10.
[0087] The first end of the cover 60 is rotatably connected to the housing 10 so that the second end of the cover 60 moves away from or closer to the cover 60, thereby opening and closing the housing 10. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a telescopic mechanism 70 is provided between the cover 60 and the housing 10. The first end of the telescopic mechanism 70 is rotatably connected to the housing 10, and the second end of the telescopic mechanism 70 is rotatably connected to the cover 60. Both ends of the telescopic mechanism 70 are telescopically oriented to realize the opening and closing action of the cover 60. Specifically, the telescopic mechanism 70 can be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, etc.
[0088] The filter cleaning device of this application opens or closes the inner cavity of the housing 10 by providing a cover 60 on the upper side of the housing 10. When the filter cleaning device enters the cleaning state, the cover 60 is closed so that the water sprayed from the outlet of the cleaning mechanism can be kept in the inner cavity of the housing 10, avoiding splashing and causing damage to people and the environment.
[0089] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the filter cleaning device further includes a controller 80, which is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 32, the cleaning mechanism 40 and the drying mechanism 20, and is configured to control the operation of the drive mechanism 32, the cleaning mechanism 40 and the drying mechanism 20 according to user input.
[0090] The filter cleaning device of this application embodiment is equipped with a controller 80, which is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 32, the cleaning mechanism 40 and the drying mechanism 20. In this way, the drive mechanism 32, the cleaning mechanism 40 and the drying mechanism 20 can be automatically controlled according to the user's input, thereby realizing the full automation of filter cleaning.
[0091] In some embodiments, the controller 80 is configured to acquire the surface cleanliness of the filter element during the cleaning process of the cleaning mechanism 40 and to close the cleaning mechanism 40 and open the drying mechanism 20 when the surface cleanliness of the filter element reaches a set value.
[0092] Specifically, the controller 80 obtains the surface image of the filter element and determines whether there is any residual slurry by comparing the surface image with a standard image to obtain the surface cleanliness. When it is determined that the surface cleanliness of the filter element reaches the set value, that is, there is no residue on the surface, the cleaning mechanism 40 is turned off and the drying mechanism 20 is turned on to blow air onto the surface of the filter element to dry the filter element.
[0093] After the surface cleanliness of the filter element reaches the set value, the cleaning mechanism is turned off and the drying mechanism is automatically turned on. This achieves automatic connection between the cleaning mechanism and the drying mechanism, further improving the degree of automation and work efficiency.
[0094] The following is based on Figures 1 to 8 The structure and working process of a filter cleaning device according to a specific embodiment of this application will be described in detail.
[0095] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the filter cleaning device of this embodiment includes a housing 10, a drying mechanism 20, a filter clamping mechanism 30, a cleaning mechanism 40, a cover 60, a telescopic mechanism 70, a controller 80, and a frame 90.
[0096] The housing 10 has an inner cavity, and the drying mechanism 20, the filter element clamping mechanism 30 and the cleaning mechanism 40 are all located inside the inner cavity of the housing 10.
[0097] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the filter cartridge clamping mechanism 30 includes a clamping part 31 and a driving mechanism 32. The clamping part 31 includes a base 311, multiple clamping blocks 312, and multiple elastic elements 313. The multiple clamping blocks 312 and multiple elastic elements 313 are correspondingly arranged, and their specific number can be adjusted according to actual needs. The multiple clamping blocks 312 are arranged around the filter cartridge A to clamp the filter cartridge A in the middle, and the filter cartridge A is fixed by the compressive force of the elastic elements 313. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the drive mechanism 32 includes a plurality of planetary gears 321 corresponding to a plurality of clamping parts 31, a central gear 322 disposed radially inner to the plurality of planetary gears 321, and a gear ring 323 disposed radially outer to the plurality of planetary gears 321. The planetary gears 321 mesh with the central gear 322 and the gear ring 323, such that the central gear 322 rotates around its central axis under the drive of the drive device 324, thereby causing the planetary gears 321 to rotate on their own axis while revolving around the gear ring 323.
[0098] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, combined with Figure 2 The cleaning mechanism 40 includes a water pipe 41, multiple nozzles 42, and a pressurization mechanism 43 (e.g., a booster pump). The cleaning water, pressurized by the pressurization mechanism 43, enters the water pipe 41 and is sprayed out through the nozzles 42. The filter element can quickly reach a clean state under the high-speed water flow. The axial direction of the water pipe 41 is parallel to the axial direction of the filter element A, and the multiple nozzles 42 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the water pipe 41 to achieve all-round cleaning of different positions of the filter element A along its axial direction.
[0099] like Figure 8 As shown, combined with Figure 1 The air drying mechanism 20 includes a ventilation pipe 21 and an air outlet pipe 22. The ventilation pipe 21 is connected to a compressed air supply device to output compressed air to achieve a rapid air drying effect.
[0100] The frame 90 is located on the lower side of the housing 10 to support the housing 10, and the space inside the frame 90 is used to house the sewage collection device and the pressurization mechanism, etc.
[0101] like Figure 1As shown, the filter cleaning device of this embodiment includes two drying mechanisms 20 and three cleaning mechanisms 40 disposed within the housing 10. The number of drying mechanisms 20 and cleaning mechanisms 40 can be set as needed.
[0102] Since the air-drying mechanism 20 needs to be connected to the compressed air supply device through an air pipe, and the cleaning mechanism 40 needs to be connected to the pressurizing mechanism 43 through a water pipe, the extension of the air pipe or water pipe needs to follow a specific route. Based on this consideration, the filter cleaning device of this embodiment sets the clamping part of the filter clamping mechanism to be rotatable, while setting the air-drying mechanism 20 and / or the cleaning mechanism 40 to be fixed relative to the housing. This avoids problems such as the twisting of the air pipe or water pipe caused by the rotation of the air-drying mechanism 20 and / or the cleaning mechanism 40.
[0103] The filter element cleaning device in this embodiment also includes a controller 80, which is electrically connected to the drive device 324, the cleaning mechanism 40, and the drying mechanism 20. The controller 80 is configured to control the operation of the drive device 324, the cleaning mechanism 40, and the drying mechanism 20 according to the operator's input. Specifically, after the operator places the filter element into the filter element clamping mechanism 30 inside the housing 10, they turn on the switch. The controller controls the drive device 324 to start, driving the planetary gear 321 to rotate, thereby causing the filter element to rotate on its own axis and revolve around the sun. At the same time, the controller controls the cleaning mechanism 40 to start spraying high-speed water to rinse the filter element. After there is no obvious slurry residue on the surface of the filter element, the cleaning mechanism 40 is turned off and the drying mechanism 20 is turned on, so that the wet filter element is quickly dried by the drying mechanism 20 while rotating, ensuring that the filter element is dry and free of water stains.
[0104] Although this application has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made thereto and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of this application. In particular, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner, provided there is no structural conflict. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
