Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of activated carbon filter self-cleaning technology, specifically to activated carbon filters with self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Activated carbon filters are key water treatment devices that utilize the strong adsorption properties of activated carbon to remove impurities from water. Their interiors are filled with porous activated carbon particles, which effectively trap organic matter, residual chlorine, odors, pigments, and some heavy metal ions in the water through physical adsorption and partial chemical action, significantly improving the taste and safety of the water. They are widely used in drinking water purification, industrial wastewater treatment, pharmaceutical preparation, and food processing, with residual chlorine removal rates exceeding 95%.

[0003] Because existing activated carbon filters lack self-cleaning capabilities, adsorbed organic matter, particulate matter, and microorganisms tend to accumulate inside the filter cartridge over long-term use, causing pore blockage, decreased adsorption efficiency, and even secondary pollution (such as bacterial growth and pollutant release) due to saturation. Frequent manual cleaning or replacement of the filter cartridge is required, increasing maintenance costs and downtime risks. This is especially problematic when treating water sources with high turbidity or organic loads, as delayed cleaning can shorten equipment lifespan. There is room for improvement in this regard.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an activated carbon filter with self-cleaning function, wherein the adjusting component includes a central box and a mounting plate, both of which are fixedly connected to the filter housing, a gear is rotatably connected at the center of the central box, a rack is meshed with the outer side of the gear, and two sets of permanent magnets are respectively disposed on one side of the rack.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: an activated carbon filter with self-cleaning function, wherein a guide rod is fixedly connected at the gap between the two sets of mounting plates, and the rack is slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: an activated carbon filter with self-cleaning function, wherein the outer periphery of the filter shell is provided with an inlet and an outlet, and the two sets of inlets and outlets are used to supply materials for entry and exit.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an activated carbon filter with self-cleaning function, wherein the top and bottom of the filter housing are connected to cleaning pipes, and a cleaning port is opened inside the filter box plate, and the cleaning pipes are connected to the cleaning port.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an activated carbon filter with self-cleaning function, wherein a feed pipe is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the filter shell, the feed pipe is connected to the filter shell, and a round hole matching the feed pipe is opened inside the filter box.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the activated carbon filter with self-cleaning function also includes a servo motor, which is fixedly installed on one side of the central box, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a gear.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, an activated carbon filter with self-cleaning function also includes a support bracket, which is fixedly connected to the filter housing.

When the activated carbon needs to be self-cleaned, the attraction rings 23 can be attracted to each other to close the filter box 2, and cleaning liquid can be introduced into the filter box 2 through the cleaning pipe 5, thereby realizing the self-cleaning operation of the activated carbon.

[0025] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an activated carbon filter with self-cleaning function, wherein the adjusting component 4 includes a central box 41 and a mounting plate 42, both of which are fixedly connected to the filter housing 1. A gear 43 is rotatably connected to the center of the central box 41, and a rack 44 is meshed with the outer side of the gear 43.

A gear 43 is rotatably connected at the center of the central box 41. A rack 44 is meshed on the outside of the gear 43. The two sets of permanent magnets 9 are respectively located on one side of the rack 44. Therefore, when the gear 43 rotates, it can drive the two racks 44 to move synchronously in a straight line, so that the permanent magnets 9 can drive the magnetically attracted attraction rings 23 to move closer or further apart. When the activated carbon needs self-cleaning, the attraction rings 23 can attract each other to close the filter box 2 and introduce cleaning liquid into the filter box 2 through the cleaning pipe 5, thereby realizing the self-cleaning operation of the activated carbon.
