Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of filter technology, and more particularly to a fuel filter with a self-exhausting structure. Background Technology

[0002] Fuel filters remove harmful particles and moisture from the engine's fuel system to protect components such as the fuel pump, injectors, cylinder liners, and piston rings, reducing wear and preventing clogging. There are three types of fuel filters: diesel filters, gasoline filters, and natural gas filters.

[0003] A search of publication number CN217354570 U reveals an automatic venting diesel filter, comprising a diesel filter body and a level sensor for detecting the diesel fuel level inside the filter body. An exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust port on the filter body. A suction and exhaust mechanism is located beside the filter body, with electrically controlled telescopic rods on both sides. A filtration and purification mechanism is connected to the top of the suction and exhaust mechanism. The level sensor output is connected to a relay, which in turn is connected to a microcontroller. The microcontroller outputs to a first solenoid valve, a second solenoid valve, and a third solenoid valve. The first solenoid valve is located on the exhaust pipe. The microcontroller is connected to the output of the electrically controlled telescopic rods. This application facilitates automatic venting of the diesel filter and further adsorption filtration of the exhaust gas to reduce the diesel fuel content.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent can automatically vent the diesel filter and then adsorb and filter the vented gas to reduce the diesel content in the gas, the venting device and the adsorption and filtration device are in an unprotected state. Therefore, when external equipment collides with the venting device and the adsorption and filtration device, it is easy to cause damage to the components, thereby affecting the normal operation of the diesel filter's automatic venting. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a fuel filter with an automatic exhaust structure, including a filter body. A mounting bracket is welded to the outer wall of the filter body. An electric motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket. The output shaft of the electric motor passes through the bottom of the mounting bracket and is welded to a lead screw. A lead screw nut is connected to the outer wall of the lead screw. The lead screw nut is welded to the inside of a fixing block one.

An inner hole is opened inside the fixing block two. A sliding rod is slidably connected inside the inner hole. The sliding rod is welded to the inner side of the mounting bracket.

Beneficial effects

[0013] Considering the inability of existing technology to effectively protect the exhaust device and the adsorption filter device, an electric motor is operated to drive the lead screw to rotate. This causes the lead screw to move the fixed block containing the lead screw nut to move up and down. When the fixed block moves up and down, it can also move the wear-resistant steel cover up and down, allowing the wear-resistant steel cover to descend to the top of the filter body. This covers the exhaust component and the adsorption filter component, thereby protecting them and preventing them from colliding with each other and damaging the exhaust device.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The fuel filter shown includes a filter body 1, a mounting bracket 6 welded to the outer wall of the filter body 1, an electric motor 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 6, an output shaft of the electric motor 7 passing through the bottom of the mounting bracket 6 and welded to a lead screw 8, a lead screw nut 9 connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 8, the lead screw nut 9 welded to the inside of a fixing block 10, a wear-resistant steel cover 11 welded to the end of the fixing block 10, a fixing block 2 12 welded to the side wall of the wear-resistant steel cover 11 away from the fixing block 10, an inner hole opened inside the fixing block 2 12, a sliding rod 13 slidably connected inside the inner hole, the sliding rod 13 welded to the inner side of the mounting bracket 6, and the wear-resistant steel cover 11 having the same outer diameter as the filter body 1.

[0030] The mounting bracket 6 is used to install the automatic lifting mechanism, which facilitates the control of the wear-resistant steel cover 11. The electric motor 7 is used to drive the lead screw 8 to rotate. When the lead screw 8 rotates, it drives the fixed block 10 where the lead screw nut 9 is located to move up and down. The wear-resistant steel cover 11 is used to cover the exhaust assembly and the adsorption filter assembly, thereby achieving the effect of the exhaust assembly and the adsorption filter assembly and preventing the parts from colliding with each other and damaging the exhaust device. The fixed block 12 is used to guide the movement of the wear-resistant steel cover 11, and the slide rod 13 is used to guide the movement of the fixed block 12.

[0031] A liquid level sensor 2 is installed on the side of the filter body 1. An oil outlet pipe 3 is opened inside the filter body 1. An oil inlet pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter body 1. An oil drain pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter body 1.

[0032] Among them, the liquid level sensor 2 is used to measure the liquid level in the filter body 1 and convert this liquid level signal into an electrical signal to turn on the electromagnetic coil of the relay 22. The relay 22 is energized and transmits the signal to the microcontroller 23. The oil outlet pipe 3 is used to store diesel fuel, the oil inlet pipe 4 is used to enter diesel fuel, and the oil outlet pipe 5 is used to discharge diesel fuel that has been purged of gas.

[0033] An air outlet is opened at the top of the filter body 1. An exhaust pipe 14 is fixedly connected inside the air outlet, and a solenoid valve 15 is installed outside the exhaust pipe 14.

[0034] Among them, the exhaust pipe 14 is used to discharge gas, and the solenoid valve 15 is used to control the exhaust of the exhaust pipe 14.

[0035] A delivery branch pipe 16 is fixedly connected above the exhaust main pipe 14, and a solenoid valve 17 is installed on the outside of the delivery branch pipe 16.

[0036] Among them, the first delivery branch pipe 16 is used to deliver gas into the cylinder 18, and the second solenoid valve 17 is used to control the delivery of gas through the first delivery branch pipe 16.

[0037] A cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the conveying branch pipe 16. A piston 19 is slidably connected inside the cylinder 18. The piston 19 is sealed to the cylinder 18. An electrically controlled telescopic rod 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the piston 19.

[0038] The cylinder 18 is used to extract and temporarily store gas. The electrically controlled telescopic rod 20 drives the piston 19 to move inside the cylinder 18, thereby achieving the effect of temporarily storing or discharging gas.

[0039] The bottom of the electrically controlled telescopic rod 20 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 21. A relay 22 is provided on one side of the mounting base 21, and a microcontroller 23 is provided on one side of the relay 22. The relay 22 and the microcontroller 23 are electrically connected.

[0040] The mounting base 21 is used to fix the electrically controlled telescopic rod 20, which is used to drive the piston 19 to perform telescopic movements. The microcontroller 23 is used to control multiple sets of solenoid valves and the electrically controlled telescopic rod 20.

[0041] A delivery branch pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the other side above the exhaust main pipe 14. A solenoid valve 25 is installed on the outside of the delivery branch pipe 24. A filter box 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the delivery branch pipe 24. Three sets of diesel filter plates 27 are installed inside the filter box 26. A clean gas discharge pipe 28 is fixedly connected to the side of the filter box 26 away from the delivery branch pipe 24.

[0042] Among them, the gas can be transported to the filter box 26 through the second delivery branch pipe 24. The filter box 26 is used to filter and adsorb the gas. The purification and filtration effect is achieved through three sets of diesel filter plates 27, and the filtered gas is discharged through the clean gas discharge pipe 28, thereby reducing the pollution of the environment by unfiltered gas.

[0043] Working principle: When this fuel filter with a self-exhausting structure is used, it prevents air from entering the fuel outlet line.

[0044] 3. When the diesel fuel accumulates above, the diesel fuel level gradually decreases as the air volume increases. When the level sensor 2 detects that the distance between the level sensor and the diesel fuel level is higher than the set height, the level sensor 2 converts this level signal into an electrical signal, causing the electromagnetic coil of relay 22 to conduct. Relay 22 then activates and transmits the signal to microcontroller 23. Microcontroller 23 first controls solenoid valve 3 25 to close and solenoid valves 15 and 2 17 to open. Then, it operates the electrically controlled telescopic rod 20, causing the electric telescopic rod 20 to drive piston 19 to slide within cylinder 18, thus moving the filter... The gas inside body 1 is drawn into cylinder 18. When the liquid level sensor 2 detects that the distance between the liquid level and the diesel fuel level is lower than the set height, the liquid level sensor 2 transmits the signal to relay 22. Relay 22 then transmits the signal to microcontroller 23. Microcontroller 23 controls the electric telescopic rod 20 to stop extending, and controls solenoid valve 3 25 to open and solenoid valve 15 to close. The discharged gas and oil suds are stored in cylinder 18. The diesel fuel flows to the high-pressure oil pump through the oil drain pipe 5 through the one-way valve set inside the filter body 1, ensuring the normal operation of the diesel engine.

[0045] When gas needs to be discharged and filtered, the microcontroller 23 controls the electric telescopic rod 20 to retract. The electric telescopic rod 20 drives the piston 19 to retract inside the cylinder 18, thereby discharging the gas and oil droplets in the cylinder 18 from the first delivery branch pipe 16 to the second delivery branch pipe 24. At this time, the third solenoid valve 25 is open and the first solenoid valve 15 is closed. The gas and oil droplets can only be transported into the filter box 26 through the second delivery branch pipe 24. The gas and oil droplets are adsorbed and filtered by the three sets of diesel filter plates 27 in the filter box 26. Finally, the clean gas is discharged from the clean gas discharge pipe 28, thus enabling the diesel filter to automatically discharge gas.

[0046] When protection of the exhaust assembly and the adsorption filter assembly is required, the electric motor 7 is operated, causing the electric motor 7 to drive the lead screw 8 to rotate. This causes the lead screw 8 to move the fixed block 10, where the lead screw nut 9 is located, to move up and down. When the fixed block 10 moves up and down, it can also move the wear-resistant steel cover 11 up and down, so that the wear-resistant steel cover 11 can be lowered to the top of the filter body 1. This can cover the exhaust assembly and the adsorption filter assembly, thereby protecting the exhaust assembly and the adsorption filter assembly and preventing damage caused by collision between the components.

[0047] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
