The application discloses an
oil filter for automobile gearbox, and relates to the technical field of
filtration, which comprises a cylindrical
oil filter and a cleaning mechanism. The cylindrical
oil filter is hollow, is provided with a filter
cartridge for filtering oil, and forms chambers indirectly connected by the filter
cartridge on both sides of the filter
cartridge. The flow path of the oil sequentially passes through the chambers on both sides of the filter cartridge. A
bypass valve is movably arranged on the filter cartridge. According to the clogging state of the filter cartridge, the
bypass valve has the ability to selectively connect the chambers on both sides of the filter cartridge. The oil inflow surface of the filter cartridge is provided with the cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism is connected with the
bypass valve, and the cleaning mechanism has the ability to clean the filter cartridge during movement. When the filter cartridge is not clogged, the bypass valve is in a static
closed state. When the filter cartridge is clogged, the bypass valve is opened, and the cleaning mechanism cleans the filter cartridge. When the oil
permeation flow of the filter cartridge is greatly reduced or directly clogged, the bypass valve is opened to drive the cleaning mechanism to scrape and clean the clogging substances on the surface of the filter cartridge.
