Embodiment 1

[0040] With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, a specific implementation of a filter element mounting structure according to the present invention comprises a switch member 2 arranged on a shell 1, wherein the switch member 2 is a contact-piece-type micro-control switch in this embodiment, and further comprises a limiting member 3 and a driving mechanism 4. A side wall of the shell 1 is provided with a mounting frame, the driving mechanism 4 is arranged on the mounting frame, and the limiting member 3 is connected with the driving mechanism 4, so that the driving mechanism 4 can drive the limiting member 3, and the driving mechanism 4 provides a rotating force to drive the limiting member 3 to rotate. A cavity for mounting a filter element 5 is formed in the shell 1, a locking groove 51 is formed on the filter element 5, and the locking groove 51 is formed on a side wall of an end portion of the filter element 5. The limiting member 3 comprises a plurality of locking positions, the plurality of locking positions comprise a first locking position 31, a second locking position 32 and a third locking position 33, and a width of an opening of the locking groove 51 is larger than a width of the limiting member 3, so that when the limiting member 3 is in the first locking position 31, the limiting member 3 is inserted into the locking groove 51 through the opening of the locking groove 51.

[0041] The filter element mounting structure further comprises an intelligent control detection unit, wherein the intelligent control detection unit comprises a locking detection element, a locking detection position is arranged in the cavity, the locking detection element is arranged in the locking detection position, and the locking detection element is used for detecting whether the limiting member 3 is in the locking position.

[0042] The shell 1 is further provided with a connecting seat 6, a connecting member 7 is arranged in the connecting seat 6, an end portion of the filter element 5 comprises a plurality of connector tubes 53, the connecting member 7 comprises a plurality of connecting holes 71 for inserting the connector tubes 53, and a connecting mechanism 8 for driving the connecting member 7 to be connected with the connector tubes 53 is also arranged on the connecting seat 6. When the filter element 5 is mounted, the filter element 5 is inserted into the cavity of the shell 1, and at this time, the limiting member 3 is in the first locking position 31, so that when the filter element 5 is inserted in a direction of the cavity, the limiting member 3 is inserted into the locking groove 51 through the opening. When the filter element 5 is completely mounted in the cavity, the end portion of the filter element 5 triggers the switch member 2, and at this time, the switch member 2 controls the driving mechanism 4 and the connecting mechanism 8 to start up, and the driving mechanism 4 drives the limiting member 3 to rotate. When the locking detection element detects that the limiting member 3 rotates to the second locking position 32, the driving mechanism 4 is controlled to stop rotating, so that the limiting mechanism 3 is in the second locking position 32 and the filter element 5 is locked, and the connecting mechanism 8 drives the connecting member 7 to move towards the filter element 5 and be connected with the connector tubes 53. Because the filter element 5 is locked when the limiting member 3 is in the second locking position 32, the connecting member 7 is connected with the connector tubes 53.

[0043] A fastening surface 52 is formed in the locking groove 51, and when the limiting member 3 is in the second locking position 32, the limiting member 3 provides a limiting surface 34 which abuts against and is locked with the fastening surface 52, and when the limiting surface 34 abuts against the fastening surface 52, the filter element 5 is locked in an axial direction, so as to limit the displacement of the filter element 5 in the axial direction, so that the filter element 5 is not easy to deviate in the axial direction under a hydraulic pressure fluctuation. A slidable cambered surface is comprised between the fastening surface 52 and the limiting surface 34, and a vertical distance between a side wall of the locking groove connected with the fastening surface 52 and a center of circle of the fastening surface 52 is set to be smaller than a radius of the fastening surface 52, so that when the limiting member 3 is in the second locking position 32, the limiting member 3 is firmly locked with the filter element 5, and the limiting member 3 is not easy to be released from the fastening surface 52. When the limiting member 3 is in the second locking position 32, the limiting member provides an abutting surface 35 which is attached to the side wall of the locking groove 51, and the contact between the abutting surface 35 and the locking groove 51 forms circumferential locking of the filter element 5, so that the filter element 5 is not easy to rotate in the circumferential direction when the filter element is cylindrical, thus realizing axial and circumferential limiting of the filter element 5 when the limiting member 3 is in the second locking position 32, and achieving the purpose of locking the filter element 5.

[0044] The connecting mechanism 8 comprises a control member 81 and a transmission member 82, the transmission member 82 is connected with the connecting member 7, and the control member 81 drives the connecting member 7 to move in an axial direction of the filter element 5 through the transmission member 82, so that the transmission member 82 provides a rotating force to drive the connecting member 7 to move to be connected with or separated from the filter element 5. The connecting member 7 provides a transmission surface 72 connected with the transmission member 82, so that the transmission member 82 converts the rotating force into a linear motion force through the transmission surface 72, and drives the connecting member 7 to move linearly in the axial direction of the filter element 5. The connecting member 7 is further provided with a guide surface 73 in contact with the connecting seat 6, and the guide surface 73 is used for guiding the connecting member 7 when the connecting member moves linearly, so that the connecting member 7 moves smoothly in the axial direction of the filter element 5 to be connected or separated. A resistance reduction member 61 is also arranged on the connecting seat 6, and the resistance reduction member 61 is connected with the transmission member 82, so that when the transmission member 82 rotates, the resistance reduction member 61 reduces rotating resistance of the transmission member 82. An end cover 62 is also arranged on one side of the connecting seat 6 far away from the shell 1, and the end cover 62 is used for limiting the connecting member 7, so that the connecting member 7 is not easy to be separated from the connecting seat 6 after being released from the connection with the filter element 5.

[0045] A plurality of position limit sensors for detecting a position of the connecting member 7 are arranged on the connecting seat 6, a position limit receiver for receiving a signal is arranged on the connecting member 7, and when the connecting member 7 is connected with the filter element 5, the position limit sensors send a signal of connection to the control member 81, and the control member 81 stops controlling the transmission member 82 to rotate, so as to stop driving the connecting member 7 to move, so that the connecting member 7 is firmly connected with the filter element 5, and after the connecting member 7 is released from the connection with the filter element 5, when the position limit sensors detect the connecting member 7, the control member 81 stops driving the connecting member 7 to rotate.

[0046] A controller for actively controlling the driving mechanism 4 and the connecting mechanism 8 is also arranged on the shell 1. The intelligent control detection unit further comprises a reset detection element, and the reset detection element is used for detecting whether the filter element is pulled out. When the controller is triggered, the control member 81 is controlled to drive the connecting member 7 to move away from the filter element 5 first, so that the filter element 5 is separated from the connecting member 7, and then the driving mechanism 4 is controlled to drive the limiting member 3 to move to the third locking position 33. When the locking detection element detects that the limiting member 3 moves to the third locking position 33, the driving mechanism 4 is controlled to stop rotating, and the limiting member 3 may be a cam or a rocker arm, so that a short axis and a long axis are formed after the limiting member 3 is connected with the driving mechanism 4. Therefore, when the driving mechanism 4 drives the limiting member 3 to rotate from the second locking position 32 to the third locking position 33, the limiting member 3 provides the ejecting force to eject the filter element 5, so that when the limiting member 3 rotates to the third locking position 33, the limiting member 3 provides the ejecting force to eject one end of the filter element 5 far away from the locking groove 51 from the shell 1, thus realizing the effect of intelligently and quickly controlling disassembly of the filter element 5, and facilitating an operator to take out the filter element 5. After the operator takes out the filter element 5, when the filter element is detected to be pulled out, the reset detection element sends a reset signal to the driving mechanism 4, and the driving mechanism 4 drives the limiting member 3 to reset and rotate from the third locking position 33 to the first locking position 31, so that when the filter element 5 is mounted again, it is convenient for the limiting member 3 to be inserted into the locking groove 51.

Working Principle and Effect

[0047] When the filter element 5 is inserted into the shell 1, the filter element 5 is inserted along the cavity, and the limiting member 3 is inserted into the locking groove 51 through the opening. When the filter element 5 is completely inserted into the cavity, the filter element 5 touches the switch member 2 arranged on the shell 1, and when the switch member 2 is triggered, the driving mechanism 4 is controlled to drive the limiting member 3 to move to the second locking position 32. When the limiting member 3 is in the second locking position 32, the filter element 5 is locked, so that the filter element 5 will not move in the axial direction or rotate in the circumferential direction under the hydraulic pressure fluctuation, thus achieving the purpose of locking the filter element 5. After the limiting member 3 locks the filter element 5, the connecting member 7 is driven by the transmission member 82 to be connected with the connector tubes 53 on the filter element 5. During connecting, because the filter element 5 is locked, the connecting member 7 can be accurately connected with the filter element 5, thus facilitating the mounting of the filter element 5, making the filter element 5 not easy to displace in the axial direction and rotate in the circumferential direction, and achieving the effect of firm structure after mounting.

[0048] When the filter element 5 needs to be disassembled, the controller actively controls the driving mechanism 4 and the connecting mechanism 8, and the connecting mechanism 8 drives the connecting member 7 to be separated from the filter element 5. After the connecting member 7 is separated from the filter element 5, the driving mechanism 4 drives the limiting member 3 to rotate to the third locking position 33, and when the limiting member 3 is in the third locking position 33, the limiting member provides the ejecting force to eject the filter element 5, so that the filter element 5 can be quickly disassembled from the shell 1. When the filter element 5 is pulled out, the reset detection element sends the reset signal to the driving mechanism 4 when detecting that the filter element 5 is pulled out, and the driving mechanism 4 drives the limiting member 3 to rotate from the third locking position 33 to the first locking position 31 to make the limiting member 3 reset, so that when the filter element 5 is inserted again, the limiting member 3 can be inserted into the locking groove 51.

The driving mechanism 4 is a motor, and the driving mechanism 4 drives the limiting member 3 to rotate to the first locking position 31 or the third locking position 33 through an exciting mode.
