Abstract
A filter assembly for a fluid filter includes a plurality of filter units assembled in series, and each filter unit includes: a connecting member, an input member and an output member. The input member of each of the filter units has an extending pipe connected to a connecting pipe of another filter unit, so that the filter units can be easily assembled by directly screwing the connecting pipe of the connecting member of one filter unit into the extending pipe of the input member of another filter unit, without using tools or fasteners. Hence, the assembling cost is relatively reduced.
Description
FILTER ASSEMBLY FOR A FLUID FILTER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a filter, and more particularly to filter
assembly for a fluid filter.
Description of the Prior Art
Fluid filters are used to remove micro particles, oil or moisture from the gas,
or remove impurities from liquid.
Among the fluid filters, an air compressor moisture removal device is
provided with a separating layer assembly which includes a plurality of layers
removably superimposed one on top of another. Each of the layers is provided with a
concave at one end, a protruding portion at another end, and a hole penetrating
through the two ends, so that the layers are superimposed in such a manner that the
protrusion of one layer is engaged in the concave of another layer, and the number of
the layers can be adjusted as desired.
However, the layers have to be assembled together by a screw inserted
through the holes of the layers and then fixed to a gas guide member. The
assembling of the layers requires the use of the screw, and the length of the screw
has to change according to the number of the layers, which makes the assembly
troublesome.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the
afore-described disadvantages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention will be clearer from the following description when
viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of
illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present
invention.
Referring to Figs. 1-7, a filter assembly for a fluid filter in accordance with
the present invention is disposed in a space defined by a filter cylinder 90 and a filter
cover 91 and comprises three filter units which are identical structures assembled in
series. The three filter units are a first filter unit 100A, a second filter unit 100B, and
a third filter unit 100C. For easy explanation, only the first filter unit 100A is
described as an example. The first filter unit 100A comprises: a connecting member
, an input member 20 and an output member 30.
The connecting member 10 includes a connecting disc 11, a connecting pipe
12 which protrudes from a top surface 111 of the connecting disc 11 and is provided
with a guiding passage 121 penetrating through the connecting disc 11, and an
connecting ring 13 which protrudes from a bottom surface 112 of the connecting
disc 11. In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 12 includes an outer thread 122.
The input member 20 includes an input plate 21, an input ring 22 which
protrudes from a top surface 211 of the input plate 21 and fixed to the connecting
ring 13, an extending pipe 23 which penetrates through the input plate 21 and is
provided for insertion of a connecting pipe 12B of another filter unit (the second
filter unit 100B for example), a plurality of input pipes 24 which protrude from a
bottom surface 212 of the input plate 21 and are each provided with an input passage
241 penetrating through the input plate 21, and a separating portion 25 which is
disposed in the input pipe 24 to divide the input passage 241 into an upper input
chamber 2411 and a lower input chamber 2412. Each of the separating portions 25
includes an input hole 251 via which the upper and lower input chambers 2411, 2412
are in communication with each other. In this embodiment, the input ring 22 of the
input member 20 is fixed on an inner surface of the connecting ring 13, and the
extending pipe 23 includes an extending section 231 which protrudes from the top
surface 211 of the input member 20, and also includes an inner thread 232.
The output plate 30 is fixed on the top surface 211 of the input plate 21, and
comprises: an inserting hole 31 for insertion of the extending section 231 of the
extending pipe 23, and a plurality of output protrusions 32 to seal the upper input
chambers 2411. Each of the output protrusions 32 includes an output hole 321 in
communication with the upper input chamber 2411. In this embodiment, the output
plate 30 further comprises an output ring 33 which is fixed on an inner surface of the
input ring 22 of the input member 20, and an airtightness is maintained between an
end surface 331 of the output ring 33 and the bottom surface 112 of the connecting
disc 11. Besides, each of the output holes 321 of the output plate 30 and a
corresponding one of the input holes 251 of the input plate 21 are staggered at 180
degrees to each other.
It is to be noted that, in this embodiment, each of the filter units is disposed
in the filter cylinder 90 and the filter cover 91. The connecting pipe 12 of the
connecting member 10 of the first one (namely, the first filter unit 100A) of the filter
units is disposed in the output pipe 911 of the filter cover 91, and an inner pipe 92 is
sleeved onto the connecting ring 13 of the connecting member 10 of the first filter
unit 100A. The connecting disc 11 of the connecting member 10 of the first filter
unit 100A has a diameter 131 larger than an outer diameter 921 of the inner pipe 92
to improve filtering effect. There is an interval between the connecting disc 11 of the
connecting member 10 and an inner surface 901 of the filter cylinder 90, and the
smaller the interval, the better the filter effect. The extending pipe 23C of the input
member 20C of the last one (namely the third filter unit 100C) of the filter units is
sealed with a plug 96 which includes: a plug portion 961 which is inserted in the
extending pipe 23C to produce a sealing effect, a cover portion 962 which covers the
input pipes 24C of the input member 20C, and a recess 963 formed in the cover
portion 962, so as to improve filter effect.
What mentioned above are the structural relations of the main components
of the embodiment of the present invention, and the filter assembly for a fluid filter
in accordance with the present invention processes the following advantages:
First of all, low assembling cost. Since the input member 20 of the
respective filter units is provided with the extending pipe 23 which is used to
connect the connecting pipe 12B of the connecting member 10B of another filter unit,
via engagement of inner and outer threads for example in this embodiment.
Therefore, the filter units can be easily assembled by directly screwing the
connecting pipe 12B of the connecting member 10B of one filter unit into the
extending pipe 23 of the input member 20 of another filter unit 100A, without using
tools or fasteners. Hence, the assembling cost is relatively reduced.
On the other hand, low manufacturing cost. Since each of the filter units of
the present invention consists of the connecting member 10, the input member 20
and the output plate 30, the manufacturing of the filter assembly of the present
invention can be done with a single module, and the number of the filter units can be
adjusted as desired, which reduces the manufacturing cost.
Finally, convenience of assembly: since the extending pipe 23 of the input
member 20 includes the extending section 231 which protrudes from the top surface
211 of the input member 20, with the extending section 231, the extending pipe 23
of the input member 20 can be quickly guided into the inserting hole 31 of the output
plate 30, so that the input and output plates 20, 30 can be assembled together
conveniently.
While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance
with the present invention, it is clear to those skilled in the art that further
embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present
invention.
