Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filtration equipment, and in particular to an irregularly shaped filter cartridge that can be used in various fluid environments that require filtration to filter fluids and meet filtration needs under different working conditions. Background Technology

[0002] In filtration equipment, the quality and filtration efficiency of the filter cartridge directly affect the working efficiency of the filtration equipment. The filter cartridge is a cylindrical element used for filtration. It is generally divided into filter cartridges used for filtering gas media and filter cartridges used for filtering liquid media. It belongs to surface filtration elements and uses the tiny air-permeable tissue formed on the surface of the filter material to block particulate matter in gas or liquid.

[0003] Traditional circular or regular-shaped filter cartridges suffer from uneven fluid distribution, low filtration efficiency, and short filter media lifespan, making them unsuitable for high-flow-rate, high-viscosity fluid filtration and complex operating conditions. While irregularly shaped filter cartridges exist, their geometric parameters lack correlation and optimized design, resulting in poor fluid distribution and filtration performance, insufficient structural strength, and susceptibility to deformation and damage. Furthermore, they lack targeted structural optimization for fluids containing large particles, prone to scaling, or corrosive substances, leading to unstable filtration accuracy. Therefore, we propose an irregularly shaped filter cartridge. Utility Model Content

[0045] First Embodiment

[0046] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution:

[0047] An irregularly shaped filter cartridge includes a filter cartridge shell disposed on the outside and inserted between two end caps 1 at both ends, and a tubular filter medium 2 disposed on the inside of the filter cartridge shell, wherein the tubular filter medium 2 extends from one end of the filter cartridge to the other end, the filter cartridge shell is a hollow structure, and extends from one end cap 1 of the filter cartridge to the other end cap 1.

[0048] Wherein, a cross section is obtained transversely to the tube axis at any position along the length of the tubular filter medium 2, and any cross section defines an inner circumference. There is a straight line segment at the lower part of the longitudinal position of the inner circumference of the filter tube cross section. The straight line segment that intersects the inner circumference perpendicular to the center of the straight line segment is the longitudinal maximum distance Vmax. The maximum distance of the line segment connecting any two points on the inner circumference that are perpendicular to the longitudinal maximum distance is defined as the transverse maximum distance Hmax.

[0049] Among them, the maximum horizontal distance segment is the maximum distance between two points on the inner perimeter that is perpendicular to the maximum vertical distance segment; there are multiple maximum horizontal distance segments in the cross section.

[0050] Among them, the longitudinal maximum distance line segment axis is the axis of symmetry of the cross section, and the longitudinal maximum distance line segment axis equally divides the maximum transverse distance line segment;

[0051] The intersection of the maximum longitudinal distance Vmax and the maximum lateral distance Hmax divides the maximum longitudinal distance Vmax into two segments, with the shorter segment being longer than 0.4 times the maximum longitudinal distance Vmax.

[0052] The inner perimeter of the cross section is divided equally by the longitudinal maximum distance line segment axis; any maximum lateral distance line segment is also divided equally by the longitudinal maximum distance line segment axis.

[0053] The inner perimeter of the cross-section is not continuously curved, and is a set of line segments consisting of at least one straight line segment and multiple curved segments.

[0054] Among them, the inner circumference contains at least one straight segment with a length >10mm.

[0055] Among them, the longitudinal maximum distance line segment has one end that perpendicularly bisects a straight line segment located at the upper or lower part of the inner circumference, and the other end that bisects a curved line segment located at the lower or upper part.

[0056] Among them, the line segment with the maximum lateral distance is a straight or curved segment whose two ends are perpendicular to the left and right parts of the inner perimeter.

[0057] There is one and only one line of symmetry on the inner circumference of the filter cartridge cross-section, and the line of symmetry coincides with the axis of the longitudinal maximum distance line segment.

[0058] Second Embodiment

[0061] Here, a cross section is obtained transversely to the tube axis at any position along the length of the filter tube. Each cross section defines an outer perimeter. The outer perimeter of the cross section is not continuously curved and is a set of line segments consisting of at least one straight line segment and multiple curved segments.

[0062] Among them, the outer perimeter contains at least one straight segment with a length ≥ 11 mm.
