DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and the examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0032] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientational or positional relationships indicated by the terms “center”, “longitudinal”, “transverse”, “length”, “width”, “thickness”, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inside”, “outside”, etc. are based on the orientational or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only used for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description rather than indicating or implying that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0033] In addition, the terms “first” and “second” are only used for descriptive purposes, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, the features limited with “first” and “second” may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, “a plurality of” means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise expressly and specifically limited.

[0034] In the present application, the terms “installed”, “connected”, “connection”, “fixed”, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a mutual communication; and it may be directly connected, indirectly connected via an intermediate medium, an internal connection between two elements, or an interactive relationship between the two elements, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those of ordinary skill in the art may understand specific meanings of the above terms in the present application according to specific circumstances.

[0035] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 9 that show an embodiment of an improved filter in the present application, in this embodiment, the improved filter includes a filter housing 1. A top end of the filter housing 1 is provided with a connector 2. The housing 1 is connected to the connector 2 by means of welding. An outer wall of the connector 2 is formed with an external thread, and the connector is configured to be connected to a filter assembly. An inner wall of the connector 2 is formed with clamping grooves 3, and the clamping grooves 3 are in an “L” shape. A baffle 4 is installed in the connector 2 to fix a filter element 9. A discharge tube 5 is arranged in the middle of the baffle 4. The discharge tube 5 is connected to a boss 10 of the filter element. A filtered fluid is discharged from an outlet 8. At least two or more connecting blocks 14 are arranged between the baffle 4 and the discharge tube 5 to connect the discharge tube 5, and a fluid inlet 7 is formed. At least two or more clamping blocks 6 matched with the clamping grooves 3 are arranged around an outer wall of the baffle 4. Through the arrangement of the clamping blocks 6 and the clamping grooves 3, the clamping blocks 6 are correspondingly put into the clamping grooves 3. By rotating the baffle 4, the clamping blocks 6 may be clamped by the clamping grooves 3. A limit bulge 31 is arranged at the top of each of the clamping grooves 3 to prevent the corresponding clamping block 6 from filling off, such that the baffle 4 is fixed stably, and the baffle 4 firmly fixes the filter element 9. The limit bulge 31 is provided with a guide face 311, such that the corresponding clamping block. 6 is easily guided into the corresponding clamping groove 3. The guide face is generally set to be an inclined face. When the fixed filter element needs to be taken out, the baffle 4 is driven to rotate in reverse, the baffle 4 is taken down, and the filter element 9 is taken out and replaced, thereby facilitating the replacement and installation of the filter element 9, effectively improving the replacement efficiency of the filter element 9, avoiding the replacement of the overall filter, and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0036] The inlet 7 is formed between the at least two or more connecting blocks 12. An unfiltered fluid enters the filter housing 1 from the inlet 7. The outlet 8 is formed in the middle of the discharge tube 5. A filtered clean fluid flows out from the outlet 8. An end face seal component 11 is installed in the outlet 8 to separate the unfiltered fluid from the clean fluid during filtration. The filter element 9 is arranged in the filter to filter the fluid. The boss 10 is arranged at a top end of the filter element 9, and an outer wall of the boss 10 is matched with an inner wall of the discharge tube 5 to fix the filter element 9 and enable the filter element 9 and the discharge tube 5 to be tightly connected.

[0037] In conclusion, during use of the improved filter, the filter is connected to other devices to filter the fluid. During replacement of the filter element 9, the baffle 4 is rotated in reverse, the baffle 4 is taken down, the filter element 9 is taken out, the filter element 9 is replaced, a new filter element 9 is installed in the filter housing 1, the discharge tube 5 is sleeved outside the boss 10, and the clamping blocks 6 are rotated and clamped into the clamping grooves 3, such that the replacement of the filter element 9 may be completed.

[0038] The above embodiments only express several implementations of the present application and are described more specifically and in details, but they should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the application. It should be pointed out that those of ordinary skill in the art may also make several modifications and improvements without departing from the conception of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent of the present application should be determined by the appended claims.
