Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil filtration technology, specifically relating to a highly maintainable filter with status monitoring and pressure relief functions. Background Technology
[0002] After a certain period of use, as the filter element intercepts more contaminants, the pressure difference across the filter element increases, and the filter flow rate decreases. To avoid potential system malfunctions caused by the reduced flow rate of the oil filter leading to increased downstream pressure, it is important to promptly notify personnel to maintain the filter element and improve the efficiency of maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to add a pressure warning device to the oil filter, ensuring that an electrical alarm signal is issued when the pressure difference across the filter element reaches a certain value, indicating a decrease in the oil filter's flow rate and prompting timely maintenance of the filter element. Simultaneously, a bypass valve is added for pressure relief, preventing potential downstream pressure increases due to filter element blockage. Furthermore, a sediment removal device is added, ensuring that after a certain period of use, the oil filter does not require draining the system oil or disassembling the housing; the sediment removal device cleans and removes deposits from the inside of the housing, improving the filter's maintainability.

The mechanical indicator is fixed to the upper housing by threads and sealed by sealing ring A. One end of the mechanical indicator rod is fixed inside the mechanical indicator, and the other end is in contact with one end of the valve rod. The other end of the valve rod is fixed in the high-pressure sensing chamber at one end of the bypass valve assembly. The other end of the bypass valve assembly is connected to the upper housing by threads and sealed by sealing ring B. The inlet pipe joint is connected to the upper housing by threads and sealed by sealing ring C. The electrical alarm device is connected to the upper housing by threads.

Detailed Implementation
[0008] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. In the examples, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. The embodiments described below with reference to the embodiments are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to their specific implementation.
[0009] Example A highly maintainable filter with status monitoring and pressure relief functions includes a mechanical indicator 1, a sealing ring A2, an upper housing 3, a mechanical indicator rod 4, a valve rod 5, a bypass valve assembly 6, a sealing ring B7, a sealing ring C8, an inlet pipe connector 9, an electrical alarm device 10, and a sealing ring D11; an outlet pipe connector 12, a sealing ring E13, a retaining ring 14, a lower housing 15, a filter element 16, a connecting seat 17, a spring 18, a handle 19, and a drain pipe 20.
[0010] The mechanical indicator 1 is fixed to the upper housing 3 by threads and sealed by sealing ring A2. One end of the mechanical indicator rod 4 is fixed inside the mechanical indicator 1, and the other end is in contact with one end of the valve rod 5. The other end of the valve rod 5 is fixed in the high-pressure sensing chamber at one end of the bypass valve assembly 6. The other end of the bypass valve assembly 6 is connected to the upper housing 3 by threads and sealed by sealing ring B7. The inlet pipe joint 9 is connected to the upper housing 3 by threads and sealed by sealing ring C8. The electrical alarm device 10 is connected to the upper housing 3 by threads. The outlet pipe joint 12 is connected to the upper housing 3 by threads and sealed by sealing ring D11. The retaining ring 14 is connected to the upper housing 3 by threads and fixes the lower housing 15. The retaining ring 14 is sealed by sealing ring E13. The connecting seat 17 is connected to the lower housing 15 by threads. The spring 18, handle 19, and drainage tube 20 are all installed and fixed in the connecting seat 17 in sequence. The filter element 16 is disposed between the connecting seat 17 and the upper housing 3.
[0011] Furthermore, the oil enters the upper housing 3 through the inlet pipe joint 9, and then flows into the inner cavity of the lower housing 15. After being filtered by the filter element 16, it flows out from the upper housing 3 through the outlet pipe joint 12. When the pressure difference across the filter element 16 reaches a certain value, the electrical alarm device 10 issues an electrical warning. If the filter element 16 is not maintained in time, the pressure difference across the filter element 16 will continue to increase. After increasing to a certain value, the bypass valve senses the pressure difference across the filter element and pushes the valve rod 5 to move to the left in the figure. At the same time, the valve rod 5 pushes the mechanical indicator rod 4 to move to the left in the figure and extends to issue a mechanical warning. At the same time, the bypass valve assembly 6 opens, and the system oil flows out directly from the upper housing 3 and the outlet pipe joint 12 without being filtered by the filter element 16.
[0012] In one embodiment, the sealing rings A2, B7, C8, D11, and E13 are made of nitrile rubber 5080. In one embodiment, the spring 18 is made of stainless steel wire 3J1; In one embodiment, the filter element 16 has an MXW10 filter screen material and a stainless steel mesh 0Cr18Ni9 (flat) liner material. In one embodiment, the electrical alarm signal transmission path and function are as follows: the movement of the magnet in the electrical alarm device activates the switch in the reed switch assembly to send an electrical alarm signal. The electrical alarm signal is transmitted to the flight control system through the plug and wires to remind relevant personnel that the filter element 16 needs maintenance.
[0013] Push the handle upwards by hand to overcome the spring force, allowing the dirt trapped by the filter element inside the lower housing of the filter to flow out through the connecting seat and drain pipe. Maintenance does not require draining system oil or disassembling the housing; the sediment inside the housing is cleaned using the sediment removal device, improving the filter's maintainability.
