Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of biodiesel filters, specifically an anti-clogging biodiesel filter. Background Technology

[0002] Biodiesel refers to fatty acid methyl esters or ethyl esters formed by esterification of vegetable oil, animal oil, waste oil or microbial oil with methanol or ethanol. Biodiesel is a typical green energy source. After the initial preparation of biodiesel, there are still a lot of impurities in it, which must be filtered out before it can be used.

[0003] In related technologies, please refer to Chinese Patent No. CN220656684U, which specifically discloses an anti-clogging biodiesel filter. In use, this anti-clogging biodiesel filter first delivers biodiesel through an inlet pipe into a hollow tube. The biodiesel then enters the filter cylinder inside the filter box through an outlet in the hollow tube. The biodiesel is filtered through the filter holes in the filter cylinder. The motor is started, driving the hollow tube to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades and filter cylinder to rotate. The filter cylinder filters impurities from the biodiesel, and the spiral blades collect these impurities. The filtered biodiesel is stored at the bottom of the filter box and discharged through the outlet pipe at the bottom. A brush at the bottom of the top cover adheres to the filter cylinder, washing the filter holes during the rotation of the filter cylinder to prevent impurities from entering. To improve filtration efficiency, after the biodiesel filtration is complete, open the top cover and remove the side plate on one side of the filter cylinder to separate the movable plate from the filter cylinder. The motor drives the filter cylinder and spiral blades to rotate slowly, and the spiral blades send the filtered residue to the residue outlet pipe. The bottom plate of the residue outlet pipe extends to the bottom of the filter cylinder to prevent impurities from falling into the filter box during the discharge process. At the same time, lift the slag baffle plate with the lever and rotate the lever to the side of the fixed groove to fix the lever, so that the residue outlet pipe opens. After the residue is discharged, install the movable plate on one end of the filter cylinder with screws. Then, rotate the lever away from the fixed groove, and the spring tension will squeeze the slag baffle plate to close the residue outlet pipe.

[0004] The applicant discovered a deficiency in the use of the aforementioned anti-clogging biodiesel filter: although it can filter biodiesel and the brush can prevent clogging, there are still shortcomings in actual use. Because the brush is located on the outside of the filter cartridge, it can only clean the outside of the filter cartridge to a certain extent. When impurities clog the inside of the filter cartridge, the outer brush cannot effectively clean the inside of the filter cartridge, resulting in a reduction in the filter cartridge's filtration efficiency for biodiesel.

[0005] In view of this, this technical solution proposes an anti-clogging biodiesel filter to better solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an anti-clogging biodiesel filter includes an outer cylinder, a support ring is fixed on the left side inside the outer cylinder, and a filter cylinder is rotatably installed inside the support ring.

The first brush is attached to the outside of the filter cylinder mesh tube, and the second brush is attached to the inside of the filter cylinder mesh tube to wash and remove impurities.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, support frames are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the outer cylinder, and a reinforcing plate is fixed between the support frames. The right support frame is lower than the left support frame, which tilts the outer cylinder.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the left end of the filter cartridge is mounted inside the support ring via a bearing. The filter cartridge consists of a support tube and a mesh tube, with the support tube fixed to both ends of the mesh tube.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a feed pipe for feeding is connected through the left side of the outer cylinder and the diversion chamber, and the lower interior of the diversion chamber has an inclined structure.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the support platform is adapted to the lower part of the inner cylinder, and the upper part of the support platform is a semi-circular structure located below the right end of the filter cylinder. The ball bearings are equidistantly rotatably installed inside the upper part of the support platform to support and guide the filter cylinder. The ball bearings can be bullseye bearings, and the ball bearings inside the bullseye bearings are in contact with the bottom right side of the filter cylinder.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a discharge pipe for discharging material is connected through the right side of the outer cylinder to the left side of the support platform, and a slag discharge pipe for discharging slag is connected through the right side of the outer cylinder to the lower right end of the filter cylinder. Control valves can be installed on both the discharge pipe and the slag discharge pipe.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing ring is provided at the mounting location of the sealing cap and the right side of the outer cylinder.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the first brush and the second brush are arranged opposite to each other, and the first brush and the second brush have the same length as the mesh tube.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it facilitates better simultaneous cleaning of the inner and outer sides of the filter cartridge, and better ensures the filtration effect of the filter cartridge on biodiesel.

[0017] In this invention, the servo motor is started, and biodiesel is transported to the inlet chamber through the feed pipe. Then, it enters the filter cartridge through the inlet chamber. At this time, the servo motor drives the connecting shaft, connecting rod, and filter cartridge to rotate, thus filtering the biodiesel during rotation. Simultaneously, the first and second brushes can clean the blockages on the inside and outside of the filter cartridge mesh, better ensuring the filtration effect of the filter cartridge on the biodiesel. The filtered biodiesel is discharged through the discharge pipe. Due to the inclined setting of the outer cylinder and the rotation of the filter cartridge, the impurities inside the filter cartridge fall into the slag discharge pipe through the opening at the right end of the filter cartridge and are then discharged through the slag discharge pipe.
