Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filters, and more specifically, it relates to a rotary opening and closing mechanism for filters. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, filters are key equipment for solid-liquid separation and fluid purification, and the opening and closing efficiency of their bottom covers directly affects the ease of maintenance. Existing filter cover opening methods mostly employ manual bolt fastening or simple hinge structures. Manual bolt fastening requires significant manpower and is time-consuming to install and remove; frequent operation can easily damage the threads, making it difficult to guarantee a seal. While simple hinge structures (with simple locking pins or latches) allow for quick opening, they lack reliable locking devices, posing safety hazards and failing to meet the demands of complex operating conditions such as high pressure and high temperature.
[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a rotary opening and closing mechanism for a filter. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotary opening and closing mechanism for a filter.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rotary opening and closing mechanism for a filter, which is installed on the filter tank and used to rotate and open and close the cover at its bottom. The bottom of the filter tank is provided with an annular groove, and the edge of the cover is provided with a snap-fit protrusion that matches the annular groove. The cover is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter tank by the cooperation of the snap-fit protrusion and the annular groove. The rotary opening and closing mechanism for a filter includes two cylinders, namely a locking cylinder and an opening cylinder. The locking cylinder is used to drive the cover at the bottom of the filter tank to rotate, thereby releasing the cover from the fixed structure at the bottom of the filter tank. Then, the opening cylinder flips the cover, thereby opening the bottom of the filter tank.
[0006] Preferably, a support frame A is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter tank, the opening cylinder is installed on the support frame A, a support frame B is fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the filter tank, and a rotating frame is rotatably connected to the end of the support frame B, and the head of the rotating frame is connected to the center part of the bottom of the cover. The rotating frame is rotated relative to the support frame A by the action of the opening cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, the locking cylinder is rotatably connected to the side end of the rotating frame.
[0008] Preferably, bearings are installed on the upper and lower parts of the side end of the rotating frame, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing. The locking cylinder is installed between the two rotating rods, and the head of the locking cylinder is connected to the bottom surface of the cover through a connector.
[0009] Preferably, the locking cylinder is detachably connected to the rotating rod and the connecting piece, and the cover opening cylinder is detachably connected to the support frame A and the rotating frame.

[0019] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a rotary opening and closing mechanism for a filter, which is installed on the filter tank 1 and is used to rotate and open and close the cover 2 at its bottom. The bottom of the filter tank 1 is provided with an annular groove, and the edge of the cover 2 is provided with a snap-fit protrusion that matches the annular groove. The cover 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter tank 1 by the cooperation of the snap-fit protrusion and the annular groove. The rotary opening and closing mechanism for the filter includes two cylinders, namely a locking cylinder 3 and an opening cylinder 4. The locking cylinder 3 is used to drive the cover 2 at the bottom of the filter tank 1 to rotate, so as to release the fixation between the cover 2 and the bottom structure of the filter tank 1. Then, the opening cylinder 4 flips the cover 2, thereby opening the bottom of the filter tank 1.
[0020] When it is necessary to open the cover 2 at the bottom of the filter tank 1, first activate the locking cylinder 3. Its piston rod retracts, causing the locking protrusion on the edge of the cover 2 to disengage from the annular groove at the bottom of the filter tank 1, thus releasing the fixed connection between the two. Next, activate the opening cylinder 4. Its piston rod retracts, causing the cover 2 to rotate around the hinge point, thereby opening the bottom of the filter tank 1. To close the cover 2, the reverse operation is used. First, the piston rod of the opening cylinder 4 extends to reset the cover 2. Then, the extension of the locking cylinder 3 causes the cover 2 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the locking protrusion to re-engage with the annular groove, completing the sealing and locking of the cover 2 to the bottom of the filter tank 1. The entire process, through the coordinated action of the two cylinders, achieves efficient and reliable opening and closing of the filter bottom cover 2, effectively solving the inefficiency of traditional manual bolt fastening methods and the safety problems of simple hinge structures.
[0021] It should be noted that the snap-fit protrusion and the annular groove cooperate to form circumferential and axial limiting (the depth of the annular groove limits the axial movement of the snap-fit protrusion), and are assisted by a spiral trajectory for self-locking (the inner wall of the groove generally has a spiral guide trajectory, and when the snap-fit protrusion is engaged, it will tighten along the spiral line, similar to the self-locking principle of a bolt tightening into a nut. At this time, the internal pressure or external load of the equipment will further push the snap-fit protrusion and the annular groove to engage tightly, forming a dynamic locking effect of "the more pressure, the tighter it gets," rather than simply relying on friction to maintain fixation), thus achieving a reliable lock on the cover 2. At the same time, the tight engagement between the snap-fit protrusion and the annular groove not only provides mechanical locking force, but also squeezes the sealing ring between the cover 2 and the filter tank 1, causing it to elastically deform and fill the gap, thus meeting the dual requirements of mechanical locking and sealing performance, and maintaining long-term stability under high pressure, high temperature and other working conditions.
[0022] The following is the specific structure of the connection between the locking cylinder 3 and the opening cylinder 4: A support frame A5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter tank 1. The opening cylinder 4 is installed on the support frame A5. A support frame B6 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the filter tank 1. A rotating frame 7 is rotatably connected to the end of the support frame B6. The head of the rotating frame 7 is connected to the center of the bottom of the cover 2. The opening cylinder 4 acts on the rotating frame 7 to achieve the rotation of the rotating frame 7 relative to the support frame B. The locking cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to the side of the rotating frame 7. Bearings 8 are installed on the upper and lower parts of the side of the rotating frame 7. A rotating rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing 8. The locking cylinder 3 is installed between the two rotating rods 9. The head of the locking cylinder 3 is connected to the bottom surface of the cover 2 through the connector 10.
[0023] Startup process:
[0024] Unlocking Phase: The locking cylinder 3 is activated, its piston rod retracts, pulling the bottom surface of the cover 2 via the connector 10, driving the cover 2 to rotate around the central axis of the rotating frame 7 (the rotating rod 9 provides smooth rotation under the support of the inner ring of the bearing 8, i.e., the rotating rod 9 drives the rotation of the inner ring of the bearing 8, and its inner ring rotates along its outer ring). This rotation causes the locking protrusions on the edge of the cover 2 to slide along the spiral trajectory of the annular groove at the bottom of the filter tank 1 until they completely disengage from the annular groove, releasing the mechanical lock.
[0025] Flipping stage: The opening cylinder 4 is activated, and its piston rod retracts, acting on the rotating frame 7 mounted on the support frame B, causing it to flip upwards around the hinge point at the end of the support frame B. Since the head of the rotating frame 7 is connected to the center of the bottom of the cover 2, the cover 2 flips synchronously, realizing the opening of the bottom of the filter tank 1.
[0026] Shutdown process:
[0027] Reset phase: The piston rod of the opening cylinder 4 extends, pushing the rotating frame 7 to flip back to the initial position, causing the cover 2 to fit against the bottom of the filter tank 1.
[0028] Locking stage: The piston rod of the locking cylinder 3 extends and pushes the cover 2 to rotate in the opposite direction through the connector 10, so that the locking protrusion re-engages into the annular groove along the spiral trajectory, forming a reliable circumferential and axial lock.
[0029] The locking cylinder 3 is detachably connected to the rotating rod 9 and the connecting piece 10, and the opening cylinder 4 is detachably connected to the support frame A5 and the rotating frame 7. In this way, when the locking cylinder 3 or the opening cylinder 4 malfunctions, it can be quickly disassembled for repair or replacement without disassembling the entire opening mechanism.
