When the second sliding member 534 moves in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the fixing plate 532 and away from the fixing plate 532, the first sliding member 533 is driven to move towards the inner side of the box cover 531 in a direction parallel to the plate surface of the fixing plate 532. The handle 536 is located outside the box cover 531 and is mounted on the second sliding member 534, and the second sliding member 534 is moved away from the fixed plate 532 by pulling the handle 536 in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the fixed plate 532 and away from the fixed plate 532.

Referring to fig. 12 and 13, the first sliding member 533 has a sliding surface 5331, a first inclined surface 5332, a second inclined surface 5333, and an abutting surface 5334. The sliding surface 5331 faces and is parallel to the fixing plate 532. The first inclined surface 5332 is obliquely connected to one end of the sliding surface 5331 and faces the outside of the first sliding member 533, and when the first sliding member 533 slides, the first inclined surface 5332 moves between the outside and the inside of the box cover 531.

Referring to fig. 17 and 18, the process of attaching and detaching the filter cartridge 50 to and from the front panel 30 according to the present embodiment will be described based on the above-described structure.

First, the side of the fixing plate 532 facing away from the cover 531 faces the opening 521 of the cartridge housing 52 and is closed, and the sealing plug 55 is plugged into the opening 521. The fixing plate 532 is fixed to the sealing plug 55. Projected in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the fixing plate 532, the first inclined surface 5332 extends out of the box cover 531 and the outer side of the filter element housing 52 through the second opening 5312.

Then, the first inclined surface 5332 faces the insertion port 31 and pushes the filter element 50 toward the front panel 30, and the first inclined surface 5332 abuts on an edge of the insertion port 31.

Next, the first inclined surface 5332 is pressed toward the insertion port 31 in a radial direction perpendicular to the insertion port 31. The edge of the insertion opening 31 exerts a force on the first inclined surface 5332, which is parallel to the sliding surface 5331 and directed toward the elastic member 535, so that the first sliding member 533 moves toward the elastic member 535 and compresses the elastic member 535, and the first sliding member 533 retracts into the box cover 531. Since the maximum outer diameters of the box cover 531 and the fixing plate 532 and the cross-sectional diameter of the cartridge housing 52 are smaller than the hole diameter of the insertion opening 31 of the front panel 30, the cartridge 50 passes through the insertion opening 31.

Next, after the first sliding member 533 passes through the insertion port 31, since the insertion port 31 no longer abuts against the first inclined surface 5332, the elastic member 535 recovers its shape and pushes the first sliding member 533 to move away from the elastic member 535. At this time, the first sliding member 533 protrudes outside the box cover 531 again, and a side surface of the first inclined surface 5532 away from the fixed plate 532 in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the fixed plate 532 abuts against the front panel 30, so that the filter element 50 is prevented from falling off from the front panel 30.

Referring to fig. 18, during detachment, the handle 536 is pulled in a direction away from the fixing plate 532 along a radial direction of the insertion opening 31, that is, the handle 536 is pulled in a direction away from the front panel 30. The third inclined surface 5342 slides along the second inclined surface 5333 in a direction away from the fixing plate 532, and generates an acting force on the second inclined surface 5333 and directed to the elastic member 535, so that the first sliding member 533 moves toward the elastic member 535, the first sliding member 533 retracts into the box cover 531, no longer abuts against the plate surface of the front panel 30, and the filter element 50 then falls off from the front panel 30 through the insertion opening 31, thereby realizing the detachment thereof.
