Its primary function is to filter impurities in the engine oil, such as metal particles, carbon deposits, and dust, to keep the oil clean and extend its lifespan. However, over time, the filter element can gradually become clogged, leading to reduced oil flow and potentially causing insufficient lubrication. Furthermore, residual metal particles (such as rust) in the oil can also affect the filter's performance.

[0003] To address the above issues, it is necessary to design an oil filter with an alarm function to overcome these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an oil filter with an alarm function, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

The support frame is installed on the top of the sedimentation tank, and a filter is installed on the top of the two support frames. A filter cleaning component is installed at one end of the filter.

[0007] The filter cleaning assembly includes a locking plate disposed at one end of the filter. A locking seat is installed at the end of the locking plate near the filter. A limiting cylinder is connected to the end of the locking seat away from the locking plate. A differential pressure sensor is connected to the top of the limiting cylinder.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

The support frame 2 is installed on the top of the sedimentation tank 1, and the filter 3 is installed on the top of the two support frames 2. A filter cleaning component 4 is installed at one end of the filter 3.

[0024] The filter cleaning assembly 4 includes a locking plate 401 disposed at one end of the filter 3. A locking seat 402 is installed at the end of the locking plate 401 near the filter 3. A limiting cylinder 403 is connected to the end of the locking seat 402 away from the locking plate 401. A differential pressure sensor 404 is connected to the top of the limiting cylinder 403. A filter cylinder 405 is connected to the side of the limiting cylinder 403 that penetrates the filter 3. A filter element 406 is disposed inside the filter cylinder 405. Adjustment grooves are provided at both ends inside the filter element 406. 407, the two adjusting grooves 407 are connected to adjusting blocks 408 inside, the ends of the two adjusting blocks 408 away from the filter element 406 are respectively connected to a first arc-shaped cleaning plate 409 and a second arc-shaped cleaning plate 410, the ends of the first arc-shaped cleaning plate 409 and the second arc-shaped cleaning plate 410 away from the adjusting blocks 408 are each equipped with a magnetic roller 411, the bottom of the filter element 406 is provided with a filter hole 412, and the end of the filter cylinder 405 away from the limiting cylinder 403 is connected to a sealing seat 413;

[0025] The locking plate 401 is connected to the locking seat 402 by fastening bolts. The locking seat 402 is sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting cylinder 403 at the end away from the filter 3. The limiting cylinder 403 is connected to the differential pressure sensor 404 by fastening bolts. The limiting cylinder 403 is sleeved on the outer wall of the filter cylinder 405 at the end close to the filter 3. The filter cylinder 405 is sleeved on the outer wall of the filter element 406. The two adjusting blocks 408 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting groove 407. The adjusting blocks 408 are all threadedly fixedly connected to the first arc-shaped cleaning plate 409 and the second arc-shaped cleaning plate 410. Multiple magnetic rollers 411 are all snapped into the inner side of the first arc-shaped cleaning plate 409 and the second arc-shaped cleaning plate 410.

[0026] The differential pressure sensor 404 monitors the pressure difference across the filter element 406 in real time. When the pressure difference exceeds a set threshold, the differential pressure sensor 404 triggers an alarm signal, prompting the user to replace or clean the filter element. The magnetic roller 411 adsorbs residual metal particles in the oil. The position of the first arc-shaped cleaning plate 409 and the second arc-shaped cleaning plate 410 is adjusted by the movement of the adjusting block 408 in the adjusting groove 407. The first arc-shaped cleaning plate 409 and the second arc-shaped cleaning plate 410 clean the metal particles on the inner wall of the filter element 406 and clean the impurities in the filter holes 412 at the bottom of the filter element 406.

[0027] An installation rod 5 is connected to the end of the inner side of the support frame 2 away from the filter 3. The end of the installation rod 5 away from the support frame 2 is rotatably connected to the sedimentation chamber 6. Clamping plates 7 are installed at both ends of the top of the sedimentation chamber 6. A filter plate 8 is snapped into the top of the top of the sedimentation chamber 6. A guide frame 9 is provided at the top inside the sedimentation box 1. Multiple movable rollers 10 are connected to the inner wall of the guide frame 9 through the installation rod. Multiple scrapers 11 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the multiple movable rollers 10.

[0028] The sedimentation chamber 6 is threadedly fixed to two support frames 2 via mounting rod 5. The sedimentation chamber 6 is fixedly fixed to four clamping plates 7, one side of which contacts the outer wall of the filter 3. The guide frame 9 is connected to the top of the sedimentation box 1 via fastening bolts. The guide frame 9 is threadedly fixed to multiple movable rollers 10 via mounting rod.

[0029] In this process, the engine oil enters the settling chamber 6 from the settling tank 1, where it undergoes initial settling. Larger particles of impurities settle down. The settled engine oil then passes through the filter plate 8 for preliminary filtration, which intercepts larger particles of impurities. The pre-filtered engine oil then enters the filter 3, where it undergoes fine filtration in the filter element 406 to further remove impurities. The movable roller 10 rolls within the guide frame 9, driving the scraper 11 to clean the impurities at the bottom of the filter plate 8 and scrape them into the settling chamber 6. The settling chamber 6 is opened periodically to clean the settled impurities.

[0030] It should be noted that this utility model is an oil filter with an alarm function. During use, the oil passes through the filter plate 8 and enters the filter 3, where it undergoes fine filtration in the filter element 406. Tiny particulate impurities are intercepted. The differential pressure sensor 404 monitors the pressure difference across the filter element 406 in real time. As the filter element gradually becomes clogged, the pressure difference increases. When the pressure difference exceeds a set threshold, the differential pressure sensor 404 triggers an alarm signal, prompting the user to replace or clean the filter element. Magnetic rollers 411 are installed on the first arc-shaped cleaning plate 409 and the second arc-shaped cleaning plate 410. It can adsorb residual metal particles in the oil and prevent them from clogging the filter element. By moving the adjusting block 408 in the adjusting groove 407, the position of the first arc-shaped cleaning plate 409 and the second arc-shaped cleaning plate 410 can be adjusted to more effectively clean the inner wall of the filter element. The first arc-shaped cleaning plate 409 and the second arc-shaped cleaning plate 410 can clean the filter holes 412 at the bottom of the filter element 406 to prevent impurities from accumulating and clogging. The locking plate 401, locking seat 402, limiting cylinder 403 and sealing seat 413 work together to ensure the sealing of the filter 3 and prevent oil leakage.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
