Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air filters, and more particularly to an air filter. Background Technology

[0002] Air filters are key devices used to remove pollutants such as particulate matter, dust, pollen, and bacteria from the air. Their purification effect directly affects indoor and outdoor air quality. With their high-efficiency filtration performance, air filters are widely used in many fields such as industrial cleanrooms, medical sterile environments, commercial buildings, and residential air conditioning systems, becoming an important part of modern air quality management.

[0003] Currently, air filters on the market typically require the entire filter to be disassembled and replaced after the filter element reaches the end of its service life. This integrated design means that users cannot replace the filter element separately. They must use professional tools or complicated operations to separate the filter element from the outer frame structure, which brings great inconvenience to daily maintenance. This not only increases the cost of use, but also wastes resources such as reusable parts like the outer frame. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an air filter, the main technical problem to be solved is that: the air filters on the market at present usually need to be completely disassembled and replaced after the filter element reaches the end of its service life. This integrated design makes it impossible for users to replace the filter element alone. It is necessary to separate the filter element from the outer frame structure with professional tools or complicated operations, which brings great inconvenience to daily maintenance. This not only increases the cost of use, but also causes a waste of resources for reusable parts such as the outer frame.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an air filter, comprising a front pressure plate, two adjustment grooves, and multiple positioning grooves. The positioning grooves are connected to the adjustment grooves via a connecting groove. A lead screw is movably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment groove, and an adjustment plate is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw. Hollow grooves are formed at both ends of the adjustment plate, and a linkage column is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each hollow groove. A locking plate is provided inside the connecting groove, and a linkage block is fixedly connected to one end of the locking plate inside the adjustment groove. A linkage groove is formed inside the linkage block, and the linkage column penetrates through the linkage groove. A rear pressure plate is provided at the rear end of the front pressure plate, and multiple positioning blocks are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rear pressure plate. Each positioning block is located inside a multiple positioning groove, and a locking groove is formed on the outer wall of each positioning block. One end of the locking plate extends into the locking groove. A filter element is provided between the front and rear pressure plates.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solutions, the filter element can be quickly disassembled and securely fixed, simplifying the maintenance process and improving ease of use.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The linkage block is located inside the hollow groove, the locking plate is located at the end of the locking groove and is inclined, and the locking groove is triangular.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined surface design makes the locking process smoother, and the triangular locking groove enhances the locking stability.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The front pressure plate and the rear pressure plate are provided with an outer frame. The inner wall of the outer frame is provided with a slot. The inner wall of the slot is provided with a groove. The two outer walls of the front pressure plate are fixedly connected with buckles. The outer wall of the buckle is provided with a triangular block. The triangular block is located inside the groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​connection design makes overall assembly more convenient while ensuring the connection is firm.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] One end of the lead screw extends to the outside of the front pressure plate and is fixedly connected to a knob, the outer wall of which is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip knob design is easy to operate and improves the convenience and accuracy of adjustment.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The filter element has through slots inside, and multiple positioning blocks pass through multiple through slots respectively.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the positioning block and the through groove ensures the accurate positioning of the filter element and prevents installation misalignment.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The adjusting plate is I-shaped, and the buckle is U-shaped.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, the I-shaped adjustment plate and U-shaped buckle enhance the structural strength and stability.

[0022] By employing the above technical solution, the air filter of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0023] Compared to existing technologies, this air filter, when installing the filter element, first places it between the front and rear pressure plates. Multiple positioning blocks on the rear pressure plate are inserted into the positioning grooves of the front pressure plate and pass through the filter element via through slots. Then, rotating the knob on the lead screw moves the adjusting plate towards the center of the outer frame. The linkage column of the adjusting plate slides within the linkage groove, pushing the linkage block and locking plate towards the positioning block. The beveled end of the locking plate enters the triangular locking groove of the positioning block, achieving a tight fixation between the front and rear pressure plates, thus clamping the filter element. This process allows for quick and easy installation and removal of the filter element without tools, simplifying operation while ensuring the stability and sealing of the filter element and improving filtration efficiency.

[0024] Compared to existing technologies, this air filter inserts the assembled front and rear pressure plates into the outer frame as a whole. The clips on both sides of the front pressure plate align with the slots on the outer frame, and the triangular blocks are embedded in the recesses. Through the cooperation of the clips and slots, and the locking of the triangular blocks into the recesses, a secure connection is achieved between the front pressure plate and the outer frame. The outer frame is reusable; only the filter element needs to be replaced, reducing operating costs. The snap-on design simplifies the installation process and facilitates daily maintenance and filter replacement for users. Attached Figure Description
