[0002] The main function of a compressor is to compress low-pressure gas into high-pressure gas through mechanical work, providing energy conversion and circulation power for refrigeration, industrial power, and other systems. It plays an important role in industrial production. Since many compressors are mainly used in production workshops, which inevitably contain dust, particulate matter, and other impurities, if this gas containing impurities enters the compressor directly through the compressor's inlet, it will cause wear on internal components such as cylinders and piston rings, thereby reducing the efficiency and service life of the equipment. Therefore, a filter needs to be installed at the compressor's inlet to filter out impurities in the air. The filter and the compressor's inlet are generally connected by a flange. Therefore, ensuring the airtightness of the flange connection is of paramount importance to ensuring the safe operation of the compressor. Utility Model Content
