Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air filter technology, specifically a multi-layer composite air filter. Background Technology

[0002] An air filter is a type of filter primarily used for air filtration in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms. A composite air filter integrates multiple filtration mechanisms and materials. For example, patent application number 200920022647.9, entitled "An Air Filter," belongs to the field of air filtration device technology. Its structure features a polyurethane (PU) cap bonded to the edge of the filter element at one end. This design eliminates the need for a separate upper cover, replacing it with a PU cap. No additional sealing ring or strip is required at the top of the air filter. The PU cap is formed by bonding and casting polyurethane material to the upper end of the filter element, creating a fixed and sealed connection. During use, the PU cap will not detach or leak, allowing for better filtration of the air through the designated filter material, thus improving the service life of engines and internal combustion engines.

[0003] The aforementioned technologies have the following drawbacks: Since composite air filters are composed of multiple filter materials that filter the air, and different filter materials have different lifespans, when the lifespan of one of the filter materials in the air filter reaches its limit, because the air filter is fixed to the end cap by adhesive casting, the worker cannot replace the filter material inside the air filter. This forces the worker to replace the entire air filter, thereby reducing the practicality of the air filter.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign and modify the air filter to effectively prevent its low practicality. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a multi-layer composite air filter element, including a shell 1, a top cover 2 provided on the top of the shell 1, a limiting mesh cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the top of the shell 1, the top of the limiting mesh cylinder 3 extending into the interior of the top cover 2, a ceramic filter element 4 located between two limiting mesh cylinders 3 movably connected to the top of the shell 1, and a polypropylene filter element 5 and an activated carbon filter element 6 fixedly connected to the outer and inner sides of the ceramic filter element 4, respectively.

[0025] The connecting mechanism includes an auxiliary block 7 fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell 1 and located between the two limiting mesh cylinders 3. The surface of the auxiliary block 7 is fixedly connected to the surface and inner wall of the limiting mesh cylinder 3 respectively. The auxiliary block 7 is located outside the ceramic filter element 4. A connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the top inside the top cover 2. The bottom of the connecting rod 8 passes through the auxiliary block 7 and extends into the interior of the outer shell 1. A positioning groove 9 located inside the outer shell 1 is opened on the surface of the connecting rod 8. An auxiliary plate 10 is movably connected inside the outer shell 1. Both sides of the auxiliary plate 10 extend into the interior of the positioning groove 9. Spring pieces 11 are fixedly connected to the front and back of the auxiliary plate 10. The end of the spring piece 11 away from the auxiliary plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A control mechanism is provided at the bottom of the auxiliary plate 10. A limiting mechanism is provided inside the outer shell 1.

[0026] refer to Figure 6 The control mechanism includes a hexagonal slot 12 on the top of the auxiliary plate 10, a rotating handle 13 movably connected to the bottom of the housing 1, a hexagonal block 14 located on the top of the auxiliary plate 10 and passing through the housing 1 and the auxiliary plate 10 in sequence, and the hexagonal block 14 is aligned with the hexagonal slot 12, and an auxiliary mechanism is provided on the top of the hexagonal block 14.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a rotating handle 13, a hexagonal block 14 and a hexagonal groove 12, a force application position for the worker to rotate the auxiliary plate 10 is provided, which makes it convenient for the worker to control the rotation of the auxiliary plate 10 and facilitates the worker to disassemble the air filter.

[0028] refer to Figure 6 The auxiliary mechanism includes a fixed plate 15 fixedly connected to the top of the hexagonal block 14, and a return spring 16 located outside the hexagonal block 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 15. The bottom of the return spring 16 is movably connected to the top of the auxiliary plate 10.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a fixing plate 15 and a reset spring 16, the hexagonal block 14 is kept away from the hexagonal groove 12 when the air filter element does not need to be disassembled, so as to avoid the auxiliary plate 10 from rotating due to accidental contact with the rotating handle 13.

[0030] refer to Figure 5 The limiting mechanism includes annular grooves 17 respectively opened on the top and bottom of the auxiliary plate 10, and limiting frames 18 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the housing 1, with the inner side of the limiting frame 18 extending into the interior of the annular groove 17.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting an annular groove 17 and a limiting frame 18, the auxiliary plate 10 is limited to avoid the auxiliary plate 10 from shifting away from the positioning groove 9, thus affecting its fixation to the top cover 2.

[0032] refer to Figure 6 The surface of the rotating handle 13 is provided with a mounting groove 19 located at the bottom of the housing 1. An anti-slip rubber 20 is fixedly connected inside the mounting groove 19, and the outer side of the anti-slip rubber 20 extends to the outside of the mounting groove 19.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the mounting groove 19 and the anti-slip rubber 20, the surface friction of the rotating handle 13 is increased, so as to prevent the worker from being unable to rotate the rotating handle 13 due to slipping hands, thus preventing the worker from being unable to disassemble or assemble the air filter.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 Non-woven fabric 21 is movably connected to the outer side of the polypropylene filter element 5 and the inner side of the activated carbon filter element 6. The end of the non-woven fabric 21 away from the ceramic filter element 4 is fixedly connected to the surface and inner wall of the limiting mesh cylinder 3, respectively.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, non-woven fabric 21 is provided to protect the polypropylene filter element 5 and the activated carbon filter element 6, so as to avoid friction between the polypropylene filter element 5 and the activated carbon filter element 6 and the limiting mesh cylinder 3, which would cause the polypropylene filter element 5 and the activated carbon filter element 6 to be damaged.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, first move the rotating handle 13 downward so that the hexagonal block 14 is inserted into the hexagonal groove 12. Then rotate the rotating handle 13. The rotating handle 13 drives the auxiliary plate 10 to rotate through the hexagonal block 14 and the hexagonal groove 12, so that the auxiliary plate 10 moves away from the positioning groove 9. At this time, move the top cover 2 upward so that the connecting rod 8 moves away from the outer shell 1 and the auxiliary block 7. Then replace the polypropylene filter element 5, ceramic filter element 4 and activated carbon filter element 6. After that, reinsert the connecting rod 8 into the auxiliary block 7 so that the bottom of the connecting rod 8 is inserted into the outer shell 1. Release the rotating handle 13. The auxiliary plate 10 will rotate in the opposite direction under the push of the spring piece 11 so that the auxiliary plate 10 is inserted into the positioning groove 9, thereby realizing the replacement of the filter material in the air filter element.

[0037] In summary, this multi-layer composite air filter element, through the setting of connecting rod 8, positioning groove 9, auxiliary plate 10 and spring piece 11, connects the top cover 2 with the outer shell 1 and auxiliary block 7, which facilitates the worker to disassemble the top cover 2 and replace the polypropylene filter element 5, ceramic filter element 4 and activated carbon filter element 6, thereby improving the practicality of the air filter element.
