Conventionally, in such a hydraulic device, the pump and the suction filter are connected as follows.

In other words, in the conventional hydraulic device, a male screw portion is formed at a proximal end portion of the suction filter, and a female screw hole that can be screwed to the male screw portion is provided at a suction port of the pump to coat the sealing material. After the male threaded portion is disposed, the male threaded portion is screwed to the female threaded hole.

However, such a configuration has an unfavorable situation in that when the suction filter is connected to the pump, it is necessary to manage such as the management of the torque, the direction adjustment of the suction filter, the application of the sealing material, and the like. waste time.

Further, there is a disadvantage that, when the pump is replaced, after the suction filter needs to be removed from the pump, the sealing material of the male screw portion of the suction filter is temporarily removed, and then a new sealing material is applied to the male thread portion. The installation operation of attaching the suction filter to the pump as described in the previous paragraph is performed, and therefore, the replacement operation of the pump also takes time.
