[0002] During the operation of a car engine, the function of the fuel filter is to remove water and impurities from the gasoline. Some existing filters include a housing and a filter element assembly located within the housing's cavity. The filter element assembly includes an upper end cover, a lower end cover, and a paper core sub-assembly. The upper end of the housing has an inlet pipe communicating with the cavity of the housing. The lower end cover of the filter element assembly has an opening at the lower end of the housing and connects to the housing. The lower end cover has an outlet pipe communicating with the central hole of the paper core sub-assembly. Fuel enters the cavity from the inlet pipe, is filtered by the filter element assembly, and flows out from the outlet pipe.

[0003] During the production of fuel filters, the inlet and outlet pipes may become tilted during assembly or transportation. In other words, the inlet and outlet pipes generally need to be corrected in the final stage of production to make them perpendicular to the upper and lower end caps. Existing correction methods often rely on manual visual inspection to check for tilting and then manually straightening them. This method is prone to deviations and inaccurate corrections. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an oil pipe alignment device that aligns the inlet and outlet oil pipes of a filter, straightening any tilted pipes. This eliminates the need for visual inspection and manual adjustment by personnel, resulting in a more effective and precise alignment.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An oil pipe alignment device includes a platform, a base and a mounting bracket on the platform, a lower alignment ring inside the base, a cylinder on the mounting bracket, a connecting plate at the output end of the cylinder, and an upper alignment ring at the bottom end of the connecting plate, with the upper alignment ring positioned directly opposite the lower alignment ring below.

[0007] More preferably, the lower calibration ring has a lower calibration hole, the upper calibration ring has an upper calibration hole, and the upper calibration hole is directly opposite the lower calibration hole. The oil inlet pipe and oil outlet pipe at both ends of the filter can be inserted into the upper calibration hole and the lower calibration hole, respectively.

[0008] More preferably, the base is provided with multiple bases, each base having a lower correction ring, and the number of upper correction rings and lower correction rings at the bottom of the connecting plate is the same, with the positions of the multiple upper correction rings and multiple lower correction rings corresponding one-to-one.

[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, the device also includes a gear pump, a rust-preventive oil tank, and an oiling ring. The inlet end of the gear pump is connected to the rust-preventive oil tank via a pipe, and the outlet end of the gear pump is connected to the oiling ring via a pipe. The oiling ring is disposed between the inner wall of the base and the lower correction ring.

[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, the outlet of the gear pump is also provided with a diversion valve, the number of diversion outlets of the diversion valve being the same as the number of oiling rings in the base, and the diversion outlets of the diversion valve being connected to the multiple oiling rings one by one through pipes.

[0011] Preferably, the platform is provided with handles on both sides for workers to hold and move the platform.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1) This utility model provides an oil pipe alignment device. The oil inlet and outlet pipes of the filter are inserted into the lower and upper alignment holes respectively to align them, straightening any tilted pipes. No visual inspection or manual adjustment by personnel is required, resulting in a higher and more precise alignment effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] An oil pipe alignment device, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the device includes a base 1 for supporting the entire device. A base 2 is provided on the base 1, and a lower calibration ring 3 is provided inside the base 2. A lower calibration hole 4 is provided inside the lower calibration ring 3. A mounting frame 5 is also provided on the base 1. A cylinder 6 is provided on the mounting frame 5. A connecting plate 7 is provided at the output end of the cylinder 6. A slide rail is also provided longitudinally on both sides of the mounting frame 5. The two sides of the connecting plate 7 are connected to the slide rails so that the connecting plate 7 can move linearly in the longitudinal direction when the cylinder 6 drives the connecting plate 7 to move. An upper calibration ring 8 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 7. An upper calibration hole 9 is provided inside the upper calibration ring 8. The upper calibration ring 8 and the lower calibration ring 3 are positioned correspondingly. At the same time, the upper calibration hole 9 and the lower calibration hole 4 are correspondingly aligned. The oil inlet pipe 15 and the oil outlet pipe 16 at both ends of the filter 14 can be inserted into the upper calibration hole 9 and the lower calibration hole 4, respectively.

[0022] In use, first insert the oil inlet pipe 15 or oil outlet pipe 16 at the bottom of the filter 14 into the lower calibration hole 4 inside the lower calibration ring 3. Then, start the cylinder 6. The cylinder 6 drives the connecting plate 7 and the upper calibration ring 8 to move downwards, thereby inserting the oil inlet pipe 15 or oil outlet pipe 16 at the top of the filter 14 into the upper calibration hole 9. The oil inlet pipe 15 and oil outlet pipe 16 at both ends of the filter 14 are calibrated through the upper calibration hole 9 and the lower calibration hole 4, straightening any tilted oil inlet pipe 15 or oil outlet pipe 16. No visual inspection or manual adjustment by personnel is required, resulting in a higher and more precise calibration effect.

[0023] Preferably, the base 2 has multiple components, taking four as an example. The base 2 has four components, and there are also four lower calibration rings 3 inside the base 2. Correspondingly, there are also four upper calibration rings 8 at the bottom of the connecting plate 7. The positions of the four upper calibration rings 8 and the four lower calibration rings 3 correspond one-to-one. That is, four filters 14 can be placed between the four upper calibration rings 8 and the four lower calibration rings 3 respectively, and the oil inlet pipes 15 and oil outlet pipes 16 of the four filters 14 can be calibrated at the same time to improve working efficiency.

[0024] In addition, the fuel filter 14 assembly uses a rolled edge sealing process, which uses a high-speed rotating sealing wheel to fix the sealing plate to the port of the fuel filter 14 housing. Because there is relative sliding between the sealing wheel and the sealing plate when the sealing wheel rotates at high speed, the coating on the sealing plate is peeled off in some areas, which reduces the corrosion resistance of the product.

[0025] In this embodiment, to prevent the filter housing of the filter 14 from rusting and corroding, rust-preventive oil needs to be applied to the end face of the filter 14 in the final stage of filter production. The device is also equipped with a gear pump 10, a rust-preventive oil tank (not shown in the figure), and an oiling ring 11. The inlet end of the gear pump 10 is connected to the rust-preventive oil tank through a pipe, and the outlet end of the gear pump 10 is connected to the oiling ring 11 through a pipe. The oiling ring 11 is set between the inner wall of the base 2 and the lower correction ring 3. Rust-preventive oil is pumped into the base 2 by the gear pump 10. While the filter 14 is being corrected, rust-preventive oil is applied to the end face of the filter housing, saving process steps and improving work efficiency.

[0026] Preferably, the gear pump 10 and the anti-rust oil tank can be installed on one side of the base 1, such as the rear side. The gear pump 10 can be of model TZ2262-200x and equipped with a pressure gauge. At the same time, a diversion valve 12 is also provided in the outlet pipe of the gear pump 10. The number of outlets of the diversion valve 12 corresponds to the number of bases 2. If there are four bases 2, the number of outlets of the diversion valve 12 is four. Similarly, the outlet of the diversion valve 12 is connected to the oiling ring 11 through a pipe.

[0027] Preferably, handles 13 are provided on both sides of the platform 1 for workers to hold the handles 13 with both hands to move the platform 1. Alternatively, a movable box can be provided at the bottom of the platform 1, with four casters at the bottom of the movable box to facilitate the movement of the platform 1.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] First, insert the oil inlet pipe 15 or oil outlet pipe 16 at the bottom of the filter 14 into the lower correction hole 4 inside the lower correction ring 3. Then, start the cylinder 6. The cylinder 6 drives the connecting plate 7 and the upper correction ring 8 to move downward. The oil outlet pipe 16 or oil inlet pipe 15 at the top of the filter 14 is inserted into the upper correction hole 9. The oil inlet pipe 15 and oil outlet pipe 16 at both ends of the filter 14 are corrected through the upper correction hole 9 and the lower correction hole 4. The tilted oil inlet pipe 15 or oil outlet pipe 16 is straightened. At the same time, the gear pump 10 is started to deliver the rust-preventive oil to the oiling ring 11 and apply the rust-preventive oil to the end face of the filter 14 housing.
