The present disclosure relates to the technical field of filters, in particular to a foldable filter element and a filter with the same.
An air filter refers to an air filtration device. With the increasingly severe air environment, people have more and more demands on the air filter at present; and during use, the air filter needs to replace the filter element to keep its filtering effect.
The packaging volume needs to be reduced when selling the filter product, because the common round or polylateral filter is installed in the random packaging of the filter when being sold for the first time, without influence on the packaging volume of the whole filter. However, when a consumer needs to replace the filter, the volume of the round or polylateral filter causes great packaging volume, and the cost is improved correspondingly. In order to overcome this defect, a foldable filter element is also researched, specifically refer to the patent application No. 202122110827.6, and the foldable filter element also has the defect of more complicated structure.

In order to implement the above purpose, the present disclosure adopts the technical solution below:
A foldable filter element, including a foldable filter assembly, a bottom setting end cover that is covered at a bottom end of the foldable filter assembly, a top setting end cover that is covered at a top end of the foldable filter assembly, first sealing cotton arranged between the bottom setting end cover and the foldable filter assembly, and second sealing cotton arranged between the top setting end cover and the foldable filter assembly;
Preferably, the sizes and intervals of the folded sides of the filter paper element are uniformly arranged around the periphery of the filter element bracket.
Preferably, at least a pair of folded thin wall sides is arranged on the side of the filter element bracket.
Preferably, the thickness of each folded thin wall side is less than that of a via hole side forming the via hole.
Preferably, the foldable filter assembly may be folded as a flat structure.
Preferably, the bottom setting end cover and the top setting end cover are formed into circular ring structures with first clamping grooves towards the sides of the bottom setting end cover and the top setting end cover.
Preferably, middles of the bottom setting end cover and the top setting end cover are formed into square structures with square slots, and the bottom setting end cover and the top setting end cover are formed into second clamping grooves towards the sides of the bottom setting end cover and the top setting end cover.
The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects: the filter paper element is sleeved outside the filter element bracket made and formed through polypropylene, the two ends of the foldable filter assembly are respectively fixed through the top setting end cover and the bottom setting end cover, so that the foldable filter assembly of the product has the detachable and foldable functions, thereby conveniently saving transportation space and reducing transportation cost. In addition, the foldable filter assembly of the product may be folded as the square shape or the circular shape, so the foldable filter assembly may be suitable for different models of filters by matching the corresponding top setting end cover and the bottom setting end cover, and the structure setting is reasonable and simple, so the production cost may be further controlled.
