[0027] 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 intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 The integrated flow path module 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0029] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the integrated flow path module 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: a first plate 10, a second plate 20 and a filter element 60.

[0030] The first plate 10 and the second plate 20 are stacked along the first direction and cooperate to define the filter cavity 30. The first plate 10 and / or the second plate 20 are formed with a first inlet 40 and a second inlet 50 communicating with the filter cavity 30. The filter element 60 is disposed in the filter cavity 30 and located between the first inlet 40 and the second inlet 50. The periphery of the filter element 60 is sandwiched between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20.

[0031] It should be noted that in some specific examples, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the first direction is the vertical direction, and the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 are stacked in the vertical direction, wherein the first plate 10 is located below the second plate 20. The first plate 10 and the second plate 20 together form a filter chamber 30, and a filter element 60 is disposed in the filter chamber 30. Fluid can flow through the first inlet 40, the filter chamber 30 and the second inlet 50, thereby completing the filtration of the fluid.

[0032] For example, a first entrance / exit 40 and a second entrance / exit 50 are formed on the first plate 10; or a first entrance / exit 40 and a second entrance / exit 50 are formed on the second plate 20; or a second entrance / exit 50 is formed on the first plate 10 and a first entrance / exit 40 is formed on the second plate 20; or a first entrance / exit 40 is formed on the first plate 10 and a second entrance / exit 50 is formed on the second plate 20.

[0033] In this embodiment, the periphery of the filter element 60 is clamped between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20. That is, the filter element 60 can be firmly fixed in the filter cavity 30 without the need for additional parts to fix the filter element 60. This effectively reduces the number of parts in the integrated flow path module 100, thereby simplifying the assembly process of the integrated flow path module 100 and improving the assembly efficiency of the integrated flow path module 100.

[0034] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the integrated flow path module 100 is provided with a first plate 10, a second plate 20 and a filter element 60. The first plate 10 and the second plate 20 are stacked along a first direction and cooperate to define a filter cavity 30. The first plate 10 and / or the second plate 20 are formed with a first inlet 40 and a second inlet 50 communicating with the filter cavity 30. The filter element 60 is disposed in the filter cavity 30 and located between the first inlet 40 and the second inlet 50. The periphery of the filter element 60 is sandwiched between the first plate 10 and the second plate 20, so that the integrated flow path module 100 does not require additional parts to fix the filter element 60, thereby effectively simplifying the structure of the integrated flow path module 100 and improving production and assembly efficiency.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 cooperate to define a limiting groove 70. The limiting groove 70 is recessed outward relative to the inner wall of the filter cavity 30 and extends in a ring around the first direction. The periphery of the filter element 60 is fitted into the limiting groove 70.

[0036] In some specific examples, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the limiting groove 70 is a structure formed by the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 stacked together in the first direction. The limiting groove 70 is recessed outward relative to the inner wall of the filter cavity 30. That is, the limiting groove 70 is located in the edge region of the filter cavity 30, extending outward without encroaching on the effective volume of the filter cavity 30, thereby ensuring the flow space of the fluid. Furthermore, the limiting groove 70 is arranged in a ring around the first direction, and the periphery of the filter element 60 fits into the limiting groove 70. Thus, the filter element 60 can be fixed around the first direction, thereby effectively improving the stability of the filter element 60.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 are used to define a limiting groove 70. The limiting groove 70 is recessed outward relative to the inner wall of the filter cavity 30 and extends in a ring around the first direction. The periphery of the filter element 60 is fitted into the limiting groove 70, which can effectively improve the stability of the filter element 60 and thus effectively improve the filtration effect.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the filter element 60 includes a filter body 61 and a positioning boss 62. The filter body 61 is a cylindrical shape with one end open and the other end closed. The positioning boss 62 is connected to the periphery of the open side of the filter body 61 and extends in a ring along the circumference of the filter body 61.

The positioning boss 62 is disposed in the limiting groove 70, thereby effectively fixing the filter element 60. Furthermore, the filter body 61 and the positioning boss 62 are integrally formed.

[0040] In this embodiment, by setting a filter body 61 and a positioning boss 62 in the filter element 60, the filter body 61 is a cylindrical shape with one end open and the other end closed. The positioning boss 62 is connected to the periphery of the open side of the filter body 61 and extends in a ring along the circumference of the filter body 61. The positioning boss 62 is fitted into the limiting groove 70, which can effectively simplify the structure of the filter element 60 and thus effectively improve the compactness of the filter element 60.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, in the first direction, the width of the limiting groove 70 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the positioning boss 62.

[0042] In some specific examples, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, in the vertical direction, the width of the limiting groove 70 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the positioning boss 62. This allows the limiting groove 70 to accommodate the positioning boss 62 of the filter element 60 without generating excessive compressive stress on the positioning boss 62. This achieves a tight fit while allowing for a certain assembly error, making installation easier.

[0043] In this embodiment, the width of the limiting groove 70 in the first direction is set to be greater than or equal to the thickness of the positioning boss 62, which can not only effectively fix the filter element 60, but also effectively improve the convenience of installing the filter element 60.

The second plate 20 includes a plate body 21 and a first tube 22 connected to the plate body 21. The first tube 22 extends along the first direction and cooperates with the first plate 10 to enclose a filter cavity 30. The periphery of the filter element 60 is sandwiched between the first plate 10 and the first tube 22. The end of the first tube 22 away from the first plate 10 defines a first inlet / outlet 40.

[0045] In some specific examples, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the first plate 10 is a flat plate arranged perpendicular to the vertical direction. The first plate 10 is located below the second plate 20. The second plate 20 includes a plate body 21 and a first tube 22 connected to the plate body 21. The plate body 21 is arranged perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the first tube 22 extends in the vertical direction. The first tube 22 and the first plate 10 together form a filter cavity 30. The positioning boss 62 of the filter element 60 is clamped in the limiting groove 70.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first plate 10 is configured as a flat plate arranged perpendicular to the first direction, and the second plate 20 includes a plate body 21 and a first tube 22 connected to the plate body 21. The first tube 22 extends along the first direction and cooperates with the first plate 10 to enclose a filter cavity 30. The periphery of the filter element 60 is sandwiched between the first plate 10 and the first tube 22. The end of the first tube 22 away from the first plate 10 defines a first inlet / outlet 40. This can effectively optimize the structure of the integrated flow path module 100, save installation space, and thus effectively improve the compactness of the integrated flow path module 100.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5As shown, a first groove 221 is formed on the inner wall surface of the first tube 22 facing the first plate 10, which is recessed radially outward.

The periphery of the filter element 60 is sandwiched between the first plate 10 and the first side wall 2211.

[0049] In this embodiment, a first groove 221 is formed on the inner wall surface of the end of the first tube 22 facing the first plate 10, which is recessed radially outward. Along the first direction, the side wall of the first groove 221 facing away from the first plate is the first side wall 2211. The side of the first groove 221 facing the first plate 10 is open. The first plate 10 covers the open side of the first groove 221. The periphery of the filter element 60 is sandwiched between the first plate 10 and the first side wall 2211. This not only does not affect the external structure of the first tube 22 and saves space, thereby effectively improving compactness, but also effectively improves the fixing effect on the periphery of the filter element 60.

[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the filter element 60 is sandwiched between the side surface of the first plate 10 facing the second plate 20 and the first sidewall 2211. The second inlet / outlet 50 is formed in the first plate 10 and penetrates the side surface of the first plate 10 facing the second plate 20.

[0051] In other specific examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the filter element 60 is sandwiched between the first sidewall 2211 and the upper surface of the first plate 10. The second inlet 50 is connected to the filter chamber 30 and formed in the first plate 10. Furthermore, the second inlet 50 penetrates the first plate 10 in the vertical direction, and the fluid can flow through the first inlet 40, the filter element 60 and the second inlet 50 to achieve filtration.

[0052] In this embodiment, by clamping the filter element 60 between the side surface of the first plate 10 facing the second plate 20 and the first side wall 2211, and forming the second inlet 50 in the first plate 10 and penetrating the side surface of the first plate 10 facing the second plate 20, the required space size of the first groove 221 can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively improving the space utilization rate inside the first tube 22.
