Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of filter element cleaning auxiliary devices, and in particular to a cleaning device for swimming pool filter elements. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, pool filter cartridges are specific filter elements installed in pool filters. They are cylindrical in shape, with end caps at both ends and the filter body in the middle. They are relatively large and heavy, making them difficult to move, especially after being submerged in water. Furthermore, pool filter cartridges accumulate debris, oil, and contaminants during normal operation, requiring regular cleaning to maintain their filtration performance.

[0003] Currently, conventional cleaning methods usually require manual scrubbing or spraying the filter cartridge with a garden water gun. During the cleaning process, it is difficult to rotate the filter cartridge, so it is necessary to clean around the pool filter cartridge. This is both time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, when cleaning the filter cartridge upright on the bottom, it can be held by hand when brushing, but it is easy to tip over and become unstable when rinsing with a water gun.

[0004] Therefore, to address the difficulty in cleaning existing pool filter cartridges, it is necessary to provide a more convenient cleaning method. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device for swimming pool filter elements that can assist in the rotation of the filter element and keep the filter element stable during cleaning.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A swimming pool filter cleaning device includes a fixed base, a movable base, a first receiving plate, a second receiving plate, a shaft, and a pipe clamp. The fixed base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shaft. A bearing is provided at the center of both the first and second receiving plates. The inner ring diameter of the bearing is larger than that of the shaft, allowing the inner rings of the bearings on which the first and second receiving plates rely to be freely mounted on the shaft. A receiving platform for receiving the port of the swimming pool filter is provided on the end face of both the first and second receiving plates. The pipe clamp is mounted on the shaft and used to lock with the shaft. At least three outwardly extending support feet are provided around the periphery of both the fixed base and the movable base. The movable base is mounted on the shaft.

[0008] Preferably, the shaft includes at least two splicing rods, one end of which is a threaded protrusion and the other end of which is a threaded cavity. The threaded protrusion of the splicing rod is threadedly connected to the threaded cavity of the other splicing rod, wherein the splicing rod at the bottom end passes through the fixed base and is locked by bolts.

[0009] Preferably, both the fixed base and the movable base are provided with outwardly extending connecting ends, the number of connecting ends is greater than or equal to the number of supporting legs, and the supporting legs are inserted into the connecting ends and locked with bolts.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the support foot is provided with a foot pad, and the end of the support foot is provided with a pad block.

[0011] Preferably, both the fixed base and the movable base are provided with a bearing tube that allows the shaft to pass through, and the top end of the bearing tube abuts against the inner ring of the bearing.

[0012] Preferably, the pipe clamp includes a collar, a sleeve, and a handle. The collar and sleeve can be connected in series on the shaft. The collar is provided with a threaded through hole. One end of the handle is provided with a stud. The stud is threaded into the threaded through hole, and as the handle rotates, the stud can eventually press against the shaft.

[0013] Preferably, it further includes two receiving seats, each receiving seat being conical, with a hollow tube in the middle of the receiving seat, the receiving seat being able to be threaded onto the shaft via the hollow tube, and the bottom of the receiving seat being provided with an interlocking cavity that can be interlocked with the end face of the receiving platform.

[0014] Preferably, the first receiving plate, the second receiving plate, and the receiving seat are all provided with drainage holes, and the receiving seat is also provided with a drainage groove, with the drainage holes on the receiving seat placed in the drainage groove.

[0015] By adopting the above-mentioned solution, this utility model relies on the first and second receiving plates to support the filter element, allowing the filter element to rotate freely on the shaft. Combined with the spray gun, the filter element can be driven to rotate without manual pushing, so that the filter element can be rinsed and rotated at the same time, saving time and effort in cleaning. At the same time, the support feet of the fixed base and the movable base can maintain the stability requirements in the rotation state. The addition of the pipe clamp design can ensure the limiting effect of each component on the shaft after assembly, preventing the components from falling off. After the movable base is installed, it can be placed horizontally. Attached Figure Description

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning device for a swimming pool filter element, including a fixed base 1, a movable base 2, a first receiving plate 3, a second receiving plate 4, a shaft 5, and a pipe clamp 6. The fixed base 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shaft 5. A bearing 7 is provided at the center of both the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4. The inner ring diameter of the bearing 7 is larger than that of the shaft 5, so that the inner ring of the bearing 7 on which the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4 rely can be freely connected to the shaft 5. A receiving platform 8 for receiving the port of the swimming pool filter element 100 is provided on the end face of both the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4. The pipe clamp 6 is connected to the shaft 5 and is used to lock with the shaft 5. At least three outwardly extending support feet 9 are provided around the periphery of both the fixed base 1 and the movable base 2. The movable base 2 is connected to the shaft 5.

[0030] The main function of this embodiment is to rely on the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4 to support the filter element 1, allowing the filter element to rotate freely on the shaft 5. Combined with the spray gun, the filter element can be rotated without manual pushing, so that the filter element can be rinsed and rotated at the same time, saving time and effort. At the same time, the support feet 9 of the fixed base 1 and the movable base 2 can maintain the stability requirements in the rotation state. The design of the pipe clamp 6 can ensure the limiting effect of each component on the shaft 5 after assembly, preventing the components from falling off. After the movable base 2 is installed, it can be placed horizontally.

[0031] In specific assembly and use, first assemble and lock the shaft 5 with the fixed base 1. Then, with the receiving platform 8 of the first receiving plate 3 facing upward, insert it from the top of the shaft 5. The end face of the fixed base 1 contacts the inner ring of the bearing 7 of the first receiving plate 3. Then, insert the filter element from the top of the shaft 5, so that the bottom port of the filter element aligns with the receiving platform 8 of the first receiving plate 3. After the filter element aligns with the first receiving plate 3, with the receiving platform 8 of the second receiving plate 4 facing downward, insert it from the top of the shaft 5, so that the receiving platform 8 of the second receiving plate 4 aligns with the top port of the filter element. After this assembly, since both the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4 are equipped with bearings 7, and the inner ring of the bearings 7 contacts the shaft 5, the filter element placed between the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4 can rotate. When it is determined that the filter element will be used upright, there is no need to install the movable base 2. Simply insert the pipe clamp 6 directly into the shaft 5, and after the pipe clamp 6 contacts the second receiving plate 4, the pipe clamp 6 locks, restricting the outward movement of the second receiving plate 4 on the shaft 5. At this time, the spray gun can be picked up and sprayed on the sides of the filter element as much as possible. After being impacted by the water flow, the filter element will rotate, thus achieving the effect of rinsing while rotating, without the need for personnel to move or rotate the filter element. When horizontal placement is required, after inserting the second receiving plate 4, the movable base 2 is then inserted, with the end face of the movable base 2 contacting the inner ring of the bearing 7 of the second receiving plate 4. Then, the pipe clamp 6 is inserted and locked. In this way, bases are provided at both ends of the shaft 5, allowing for horizontal placement. Relying on the movable base 2 and the fixed base 1 as two support points, the filter element can be placed horizontally. The advantage of horizontal placement is that it lowers the center of gravity, making the placement more stable. This is suitable for longer filter elements. Whether to place it vertically or horizontally depends on the actual filter element.

[0032] Furthermore, since filter elements vary in length, in order to ensure that the length of the shaft 5 matches the length of the filter element, the shaft 5 in this embodiment includes at least two splicing rods 51. One end of each splicing rod 51 is a threaded protrusion 52, and the other end is a threaded cavity 53. The threaded protrusion 52 of the splicing rod 51 forms a threaded connection with the threaded cavity 53 of the other splicing rod 51. The splicing rod 51 at the bottom passes through the fixed base 1 and is locked by bolts 10. Thus, when the shaft 5 needs to be lengthened, only one splicing rod 51 needs to be selected for assembly and then lengthened. Conversely, disassembling the shaft 5 shortens its length.

[0033] Furthermore, the required number of support legs 9 will differ depending on whether the object is placed horizontally or vertically. When placed vertically, more support legs 9 are needed, typically five, to make it more stable. When placed horizontally, only three are required. Therefore, to allow for more flexible selection of the number of support legs 9, both the fixed base 1 and the movable base 2 in this embodiment are provided with outwardly extending connecting ends 11. The number of connecting ends 11 is greater than or equal to the number of support legs 9. The support legs 9 are inserted into the connecting ends 11 and locked with bolts 10, thus making the support legs 9 a detachable structure, which can then be assembled or disassembled as needed.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to make the placement more stable when standing upright or lying down, the bottom of the support leg 9 in this embodiment is provided with a foot pad 12 and the end of the support leg 9 is provided with a pad block 13.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to reduce the contact between the fixed base 1 and the movable base 2 and the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4, since more contact will bring resistance during rotation and may even prevent rotation, the fixed base 1 and the movable base 2 in this embodiment are provided with receiving pipes 14 that allow the shaft 5 to pass through. The top end of the receiving pipe 14 abuts against the inner ring of the bearing 7. In this way, only the top end of the receiving pipe 14 contacts the inner ring of the bearing 7, so that the contact area is only local and only forms a top pressure with the inner ring of the bearing 7. Even if the inner ring of the bearing 7 does not rotate between itself and the fixed base 1 under the action of gravity, the bearing 7 itself can achieve the rotation effect.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pipe clamp 6 specifically includes a collar 61, a sleeve 65, and a handle 62. The collar 61 and sleeve 65 can be connected in series on the shaft 5, and the sleeve 95 contacts the inner ring of the bearing 7 of the movable base 2 or the second receiving plate 4. The collar 61 abuts against the sleeve 65. The collar 61 is provided with a threaded through hole 63. One end of the handle 62 is provided with a stud 64. The stud 64 is threaded into the threaded through hole 63, and as the handle 62 rotates, the stud 64 can finally press against the shaft 5. When the stud 64 presses against the shaft 5, locking is completed. Of course, the pipe clamp 6 in this embodiment can also adopt other structures, such as a structure design similar to a bicycle seat post clamp.

[0037] Furthermore, since a single first and second receiving plate directly receives filter cartridges with specific port sizes, such as 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, etc., to better adapt to filter cartridges with different port sizes, this embodiment also includes two receiving seats 15. The receiving seat 15 is a cone shape, and a hollow tube 16 is provided in the middle of the receiving seat 15. The receiving seat 15 can be connected to the shaft 5 by means of the hollow tube 16. The bottom of the receiving seat 15 is provided with an interlocking cavity 17 that can be interlocked with the end face of the receiving platform 8. As for the specific formation of the interlocking cavity 17, it is only necessary to ensure that the interlocking is stable and that the receiving seat 15 can rotate together with the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4. For example, it can be an interlocking protrusion 81 and a grid groove, that is, the interlocking cavity 17 is set as a grid groove. As for the use of the receiving seat 15, after the first receiving plate 3 is inserted into the shaft 5, the receiving seat 15 can be placed in immediately, and then the filter element is aligned and inserted. When placing the second receiving plate 4, the other receiving seat 15 is first inverted and inserted into the shaft 5, and then the second receiving plate 4 is inserted. In this way, by relying on the conical body of the receiving seat 15 to connect with the port of the filter element, filter elements of various specifications can be placed, improving the flexibility of product use.

[0038] Furthermore, to prevent water retention, the first receiving plate 3, the second receiving plate 4, and the receiving seat 15 in this embodiment are all provided with drainage holes 18. The receiving seat 15 is also provided with a drainage groove 19, and the drainage holes 18 on the receiving seat 15 are placed in the drainage groove 19. With this design, during the cleaning process, when the receiving seat 15 is not installed, the water entering the filter element can be directly discharged through the drainage holes 18 of the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4. When the receiving seat 15 is assembled, the water is first drained through the drainage groove 19 and leaks into the space formed by the receiving seat 15 and the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4, and then discharged through the drainage holes 18 of the first receiving plate 3 and the second receiving plate 4. This design facilitates rapid drainage.

[0039] In addition, when placed horizontally, a curtain or splash guard can be placed at the back. This curtain or splash guard can be connected to the support leg 9 by ropes or other connecting components, thus preventing water from splashing everywhere during rinsing.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
