Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter assembly technology, specifically a filter assembly for a gearbox. Background Technology
[0002] In a transmission system, the cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid (or transmission oil) directly affects its performance and lifespan. Metal shavings, friction material particles, and other contaminants in the fluid can accelerate the wear of precision components such as valve bodies, clutches, and bearings, leading to shift jerking, insufficient oil pressure, or even transmission failure. Therefore, the filter assembly is a critical component for transmission fluid filtration, used to intercept impurities and keep the oil passages clear.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with patent authorization announcement number CN212225960U, which discloses a gearbox filter screen with annular guide plates. The filter screen consists of an upper housing, a filter screen, and a lower housing. The upper housing and the lower housing are fixedly connected by bolts on the outside. The filter screen is fixedly installed between the upper housing and the lower housing. An oil outlet is provided on one side of the top of the upper housing, and an oil inlet is provided at the middle of the bottom of the lower housing. A circular magnet is fixedly installed on the outer side of the lower end of the oil inlet. Several annular guide plates, which increase in height from the inside to the outside, are arranged concentrically with the oil inlet inside the lower housing.
[0004] Traditional transmission filters are typically built-in and installed inside the oil pan. Replacing them requires removing the oil pan, which is complicated and repeated disassembly and reassembly can easily cause oil leaks. In addition, while some external filters are easier to maintain, their installation stability is insufficient, and oil seepage may occur after long-term use, affecting the filtration effect.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 A filter assembly for a transmission includes an external filter housing 1. An oil inlet 101 is connected to the upper left side of the external filter housing 1, and an oil outlet 102 is connected to the lower right side of the external filter housing 1. A square frame 2 is slidably connected inside the external filter housing 1. Multiple filter screens 3 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the square frame 2. A mounting block 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the square frame 2, penetrating the external filter housing 1 and slidably connected to it. A sealing ring 5 is embedded in the outer wall of the mounting block 4, and the sealing ring 5 abuts against the side wall of the external filter housing 1. The sealing ring 5 increases the sealing between the mounting block 4 and the external filter housing 1. A pull handle 6, made of plastic, is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block 4 on the external filter housing 1. The pull handle 6 facilitates pulling the mounting block 4.
[0025] Please see Figures 5-6 The mounting block 4 has positioning blocks 7 fixedly connected to both its upper and lower ends. Positioning blocks 7 contact the outer wall of the external filter housing 1. A mounting base 8 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the external filter housing 1. The mounting base 8 engages with the positioning blocks 7 and contacts the mounting block 4. This design of one mounting base 8 and two positioning blocks 7 allows the mounting block 4 and the frame 2 to be inserted directly without needing to distinguish between upper and lower surfaces. An inclined block 9 is slidably connected inside the mounting block 4. A locking pin 10 is fixedly connected to the inclined block 9, passing through the mounting base 8 and slidably connected to it. The locking pin 10 is inserted into the positioning blocks 7. A pusher 14 is slidably connected to the top of the mounting base 8. The pusher 14 is U-shaped, and its end abuts against the inclined surface of the inclined block 9. The engagement between the pusher 14 and the inclined surface of the inclined block 9 controls the separation between the locking pin 10 and the positioning blocks 7. A guide rod 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 8. The guide rod 11 is slidably connected to the inclined block 9. A spring 12 is installed inside the inclined block 9. One end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 11, and the other end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the inclined block 9. The guide rod 11 and the spring 12 assist in the repositioning of the inclined block 9. Ball bearings 13 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the inclined block 9, and the ball bearings 13 are slidably connected to the inner surface of the mounting base 8. The ball bearings 13 reduce the relative friction between the inclined block 9 and the mounting base 8. A limit ring 15 is fixedly connected to the vertical part of the push frame 14, and the limit ring 15 contacts the inner surface of the mounting base 8. The limit ring 15 limits and prevents the push frame 14 from detaching.
[0026] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, the oil inlet 101 and oil outlet 102 of the external filter housing 1 are connected to the gearbox through pipelines. Then, by pressing down the pusher 14, the pusher 14 cooperates with the inclined surface of the inclined block 9, which allows the inclined block 9 to move, thereby causing the locking pin 10 on the inclined block 9 to retract into the mounting base 8. Then, the frame 2 is inserted into the external filter housing 1. At this time, the filter screen 3 on the frame 2 is placed between the oil inlet 101 and the oil outlet 102. At the same time, the mounting block 4 on the frame 2 is placed at the insertion port on the side of the external filter housing 1, and the positioning block 7 on the mounting block 4 is inserted into the mounting base 8. At this time, the pusher 14 is released, and the inclined block 9 will be reset under the action of the spring 12, and the locking pin 10 will be inserted horizontally into the positioning block 7, thereby completing the overall installation. Similarly, the above steps can be reversed to pull out the filter screen 3 for replacement.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
