[0002] Conventional pre-filters are equipped with cartridge-type air filters. These filters are named for their hollow cylindrical shape and are a common structural type in air filtration systems. They are widely used in automobiles, construction machinery, industrial equipment, generator sets, and other scenarios that require air filtration.

[0003] When loaded into the pre-filter, its simple structure and lack of internal airflow turbulence elements result in overly concentrated and unevenly distributed filtration positions, leading to poor overall performance. Therefore, this invention proposes a pre-filter element. Utility Model Content

An air inlet connected to the central hole is provided on the upper end cover. A turbulence shaft rotatably connected to the lower end cover is disposed within the central hole. A blade is disposed on the turbulence shaft near the air inlet. A multi-faceted shaft is connected in series on the turbulence shaft. The number of faces of the multi-faceted shaft is N. Each side of the multi-faceted shaft is provided with a guide vane for lateral airflow. The axial positions of all guide vanes are different; Nβ‰₯3.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the turbulence shaft and the central hole are arranged on the same axis.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the filter element has an outer mesh frame around it, the upper end of the outer mesh frame is connected to the upper end cover, and the lower end is connected to the lower end cover.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the filter element has an inner mesh frame inside, the upper end of the inner mesh frame is connected to the upper end cover, and the lower end is connected to the lower end cover.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that N = 4.

[0011] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the pre-filter cartridge involved in the present invention, through the built-in turbulence-dispersing element, allows the air entering the cartridge to be evenly dispersed in the central hole, so that the filtration position is not concentrated, the distribution is uniform, the filtration effect is good, the spacing extends the service life of the cartridge, the overall function is perfect, and the practicality is strong.

[0013] Figure 2 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0014] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of this utility model, and not for limiting the patent claims of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pre-filter cartridge involved in this embodiment includes an upper end cover 1 and a lower end cover 2. A cylindrical filter cartridge 3 is provided between the lower end cover 2 and the upper end cover 1. The filter cartridge 3 has a central hole 4. An air inlet 5 connected to the central hole is provided on the upper end cover 1. A turbulence shaft 6 rotatably connected to the lower end cover is provided in the central hole 4. The turbulence shaft 6 is coaxial with the central hole 4. A blade 7 near the air inlet is provided on the turbulence shaft 6. A multi-faceted shaft 8 is connected in series on the turbulence shaft 6. The number of faces of the multi-faceted shaft 8 is N. Each side of the multi-faceted shaft 8 is provided with a guide vane 9 that guides the airflow laterally. The axial positions of all guide vanes 9 are different; N = 4.

[0018] Furthermore, the filter element 3 has an outer mesh frame 11 around its periphery, with the upper end of the outer mesh frame 11 connected to the upper end cover 1 and the lower end connected to the lower end cover 2; the filter element 3 has an inner mesh frame 12 around its periphery, with the upper end of the inner mesh frame 12 connected to the upper end cover 1 and the lower end connected to the lower end cover 2.

[0019] In this embodiment, the air to be filtered enters the central hole 4 from the air inlet 5. The airflow blows onto the blades 7, causing the turbulence shaft 6 to rotate. At the same time, it causes the polygonal shaft 8 and its guide vanes 9 to rotate, so that the airflow flowing through the blades 7 will be laterally guided by each guide vane 9 and evenly impact the inner wall of the filter element 3 to ensure that the filtration position is evenly distributed.

[0020] The outer mesh frame 11 and the inner mesh frame 12 are used to securely install the filter element 3.
