However, frequent replacement of new filter elements is extremely costly, so a filter element cleaning device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing filter elements accumulate a large amount of impurities on their surface after a period of use, affecting the filtration effect and requiring replacement, which is costly due to frequent replacement of new filter elements.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A high-efficiency air-water mixing filter element cleaning device, characterized in that: it includes a cleaning chamber, a clamping assembly for clamping the filter element to be cleaned and driving it to rotate, and a cleaning assembly for cleaning the filter element;

[0006] The clamping assembly includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate of the filter element symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cleaning chamber. The first clamping plate of the filter element is rotatably connected to one end of the clamping screw opposite to the end face of the second clamping plate of the filter element. The other end of the clamping screw extends out of the cleaning chamber and is fixedly connected to a clamping handwheel. The clamping screw is threadedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning chamber.

[0007] The cleaning assembly includes a flushing pipe for rinsing the filter element to be cleaned and several cleaning brushes adjustablely disposed in a cleaning chamber on one side of the filter element to be cleaned. The flushing pipe is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the second pressing plate of the filter element. One end of the flushing pipe opposite to the first pressing plate of the filter element is fixedly connected to one end of a rotating handle. The other end of the rotating handle extends out of the side wall of the cleaning chamber. The outer peripheral wall of the end of the flushing pipe opposite to the first pressing plate of the filter element is connected to a water inlet pipe and an air inlet pipe through a rotating joint. The water inlet pipe and the air inlet pipe extend out of the side wall of the cleaning chamber. Several flushing outlets are provided on the other end face and the outer peripheral wall of the flushing pipe.

[0008] A further improvement is that: one end of the cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the end of the filter element to be cleaned away from the cleaning brush, and the other end of the brush rod extends out of the cleaning box and is fixedly connected to the brush adjusting handwheel; the brush rod is threadedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning box.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] See Figures 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a high-efficiency air-water mixing filter element cleaning device, including a cleaning chamber 1, a clamping component for clamping the filter element to be cleaned and driving it to rotate, and a cleaning component for cleaning the filter element.

[0024] The clamping assembly includes a first filter element clamping plate 2 and a second filter element clamping plate 3 symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the cleaning chamber 1. The first filter element clamping plate 2 is rotatably connected to one end of a clamping screw 21 away from the second filter element clamping plate 3. The other end of the clamping screw 21 extends out of the cleaning chamber 1 and is fixedly connected to a clamping handwheel 22. The clamping screw 21 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning chamber 1.

[0025] The cleaning assembly includes a flushing pipe 5 for rinsing the filter element to be cleaned and several cleaning brushes 6 adjustablely disposed in a cleaning chamber 1 on one side of the filter element to be cleaned. The flushing pipe 5 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the second pressing plate 3 of the filter element. One end of the flushing pipe 5 away from the first pressing plate 2 of the filter element is fixedly connected to one end of a rotating handle 4. The other end of the rotating handle 4 extends out of the side wall of the cleaning chamber 1. The outer peripheral wall of the end of the flushing pipe 5 away from the first pressing plate 2 of the filter element is connected to a water inlet pipe 51 and an air inlet pipe 52 through a rotating joint 53. The water inlet pipe 51 and the air inlet pipe 52 extend out of the side wall of the cleaning chamber 1. Several flushing outlets 54 are provided on the other end face and the outer peripheral wall of the flushing pipe 5.

[0026] The cleaning brush 6 is fixedly connected to one end of a brush rod 61 at the end face away from the filter element to be cleaned. The other end of the brush rod 61 extends out of the cleaning box 1 and is fixedly connected to a brush adjusting handwheel 62. The brush rod 61 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning box 1.

[0027] Among them, several of the flushing outlets 54 are evenly distributed.

[0028] The water inlet pipe 51 is equipped with a water inlet valve 511.

[0029] An intake valve 521 is provided on the intake pipe 52.

[0030] The cleaning chamber 1 is equipped with an exhaust pipe 8 connected to the upper end of one side. If toxic or harmful gases are generated during the cleaning process, they can be recovered and treated through the exhaust pipe 8.

[0031] The bottom of the cleaning chamber 1 on one side of the first pressing plate 2 of the filter element is connected to a sewage collection pipe 7. The sewage collection pipe 7 is used to collect the sewage from rinsing.

[0032] The sewage collection pipe 7 is equipped with a sewage collection pipe valve 71.

[0033] Air pressure control during different filter cartridge flushing processes:

[0034] Metal / ceramic filter element: air pressure ≤0.3MPa, to avoid weld cracking or filter material fatigue;

[0035] Hollow fiber membrane: air pressure ≤ 0.05MPa, combined with intermittent aeration (e.g., aeration for 10 seconds / stop for 20 seconds).

[0036] Water flow coordination during rinsing:

[0037] The water pressure should be lower than the maximum withstand pressure of the filter element (e.g., 0.2-0.5 MPa), and the gas and liquid volumes should be matched to prevent excessive gas resistance from damaging the internal components of the filter element.

[0038] Suitable filter cartridge types for air-water flushing include porous sintered filter cartridges (such as PE and ceramic filter cartridges): combined air-water flushing can remove particulate matter or biofilm adhering to the pores through bubble bursts and water flow shear force, restoring flux. A row of adjustable brushes is set on one side. During the flushing process, the corresponding adjustment handwheel is rotated to make the brushes contact the filter cartridge. During the flushing process, the handle is rotated to make the filter cartridge rotate and clean in the cleaning tank, so as to achieve the cleaning purpose more quickly. The flushing wastewater can be collected through the sewage collection pipe, or the toxic and harmful gases can be discharged and treated through the exhaust pipe. After the flushing is completed, the water valve is closed, and the residual water stains on the filter cartridge can be blown away by air.

[0039] Metal filter element (stainless steel sintered filter screen): Resistant to high pressure and mechanical impact, suitable for strong air and water backwashing. Combined with brush and rotary rinsing, it can clean surface deposits more thoroughly. It is especially effective for grease and colloidal contaminants. Degreasing agents can be added to the water to enhance the rinsing effect. The rinsing wastewater is recycled and treated through the drain outlet. After rinsing, the water valve is closed, and the filter element is blown away with air to remove residual water stains.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the filter element to be cleaned is placed into the cleaning chamber. One end of the filter element abuts against the second filter element pressing plate, and the other end is pressed by the pressing handwheel, which drives the first filter element pressing plate to move towards the filter element. By opening the corresponding valve, water and air, or water and air together, are introduced into the flushing pipe and flushed into the filter element through the flushing outlet. The air and water are flushed together, and the flushed gas is dried. By rotating the corresponding brush adjusting handwheel, the brush is moved towards the filter element, so that the brush contacts the filter element. By rotating the handle, the filter element is rotated in the cleaning chamber for uniform cleaning. The flushing wastewater can be collected through the sewage collection pipe, or the toxic and harmful gases can be discharged and treated through the exhaust pipe. After flushing, the water valve is closed, and the filter element can be blown away with gas to remove residual water stains.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions provided are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
