Configuration of Mesh Filter

FIGS. 1A, 1B and 2A to 2D illustrate the configuration of mesh filter 100 according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a plan view of mesh filter 100, and FIG. 1B is a bottom view of mesh filter 100. FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view of mesh filter 100 including the cross section taken along line A-A of FIG. 1A, FIG. 2B is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 1A, FIG. 2C is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 1A and FIG. 2D is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line C-C of FIG. 1A. In the following description, a direction in which first rib 122 extends is defined as the first direction (X direction), a direction which is orthogonal to the first direction (X direction), and in which second rib 123 extends, is defined as the second direction (Y direction), and the height (thickness) direction of first rib 122 and second rib 123, which is orthogonal to the first direction (X direction) and the second direction (Y direction), is defined as the third direction (Z direction).

As illustrated in FIGS. 1A, 1B and 2A to 2D, mesh filter 100 includes mesh portion 120, rim portion 140, and final filling portion 160.

The material of mesh filter 100 is a resin such as polypropylene (PP), polyacetal (POM), or polyamide (PA). Mesh filter 100 is integrally molded by injection molding.

Mesh portion 120 captures foreign substances contained in a fluid such as a gas or a liquid by allowing the fluid to pass therethrough. Mesh portion 120 may have any shape in plan view. In the present embodiment, mesh portion 120 has a circular shape in plan view. A plurality of holes 121 are formed in mesh portion 120. Plurality of holes 121 in mesh portion 120 may have any shape in plan view. The shape of hole 121 in plan view may be a circle or a polygon. In the present embodiment, mesh portion 120 includes plurality of first ribs 122 and a plurality of second ribs 123. Plurality of first ribs 122 and plurality of second ribs 123 form a plurality of holes 121 having a square shape in plan view. The sides of hole 121 may have any length. The length of one side of hole 121 is, for example, 10 to 500 μm. The number of holes 121 may be any number. For example, the number of holes 121 is 1 to 400 per mm².

First rib 122 is a protrusion whose first ridge line 124 extends in the first direction (X direction). Plurality of first ribs 122 are disposed parallel to each other and at equal intervals in the second direction (Y direction) orthogonal to the first direction (X direction). In the present embodiment, plurality of first ribs 122 are disposed on the first surface (front surface) of virtual plane P. The cross section (YZ cross section), orthogonal to the extending direction (X direction), of first rib 122 may have any shape. In the present embodiment, the cross section is substantially in a shape of a triangle where one top including first ridge line 124 has a shape of an arc (see FIGS. 2B and 2C).

As described below, final filling portion 160 is disposed in the central part of mesh portion 120 (see FIG. 1A). That is, regarding first rib 122 passing through the central part of mesh portion 120, one end of first rib 122 is connected to the inner side surface of rim portion 140 and the other end is connected to the side surface of final filling portion 160. Regarding first rib 122 not passing through the central portion of mesh portion 120, both ends of first rib 122 are connected to the inner side surface of rim portion 140.

Second rib 123 is a protrusion whose second ridge line 125 extends in the second direction (Y direction). Plurality of second ribs 123 are disposed parallel to each other and at equal intervals in the first direction (X direction). In the present embodiment, plurality of second ribs 123 are disposed on the second surface (back surface) of virtual plane P. The cross section (XZ cross section), orthogonal to the extending direction (Y direction), of second rib 123 may have any shape. In the present embodiment, the cross section is substantially in a shape of a triangle where one top including second ridge line 125 has a shape of an arc (see FIG. 2D).

As with first ribs 122, regarding second rib 123 passing through the central part of mesh portion 120, one end of second rib 123 is connected to the inner side surface of rim portion 140 and the other end is connected to the side surface of final filling portion 160. Regarding second rib 123 not passing through the central part of mesh portion 120, both ends of second rib 123 are connected to the inner side surface of rim portion 140.

Plurality of first ribs 122 and plurality of second ribs 123 are disposed in a front-to-back relationship with virtual plane P as a boundary. That is, plurality of first ribs 122 and plurality of second ribs 123 are disposed in such a way that the positions of plurality of first ribs 122 differ from the positions of plurality of second ribs 123 in the height direction (Z direction) of the ribs. When mesh portion 120 is viewed in plan view from the top, plurality of second ribs 123 are disposed behind first ribs 122 and at equal intervals in the first direction. Further, when mesh portion 120 is viewed in plan view from the bottom, plurality of first ribs 122 are disposed behind second ribs 123 and at equal intervals in the second direction.

Rim portion 140 holds mesh portion 120. Rim portion 140 is disposed so as to surround mesh portion 120. Rim portion 140 may have any shape in plan view. In the present embodiment, rim portion 140 has an annular shape in plan view. Plurality of first ribs 122 and plurality of second ribs 123 are connected to the inner side surface of rim portion 140. Mark 141 of a gate used at the time of injection molding (hereinafter referred to as “gate mark”) is formed on the rim portion 140. In the present embodiment, two gate marks 141 are formed on the back surface of rim portion 140 so as to be evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the surface. Gate marks 141 may be formed on the front surface of rim portion 140. In addition, rim portion 140 is formed thicker than mesh portion 120 in the third direction (Z direction) in the present embodiment. This configuration can prevent an operator from touching mesh portion 120 during the handling.

Final filling portion 160 is disposed at mesh portion 120 inside rim portion 140. In the present embodiment, final filling portion 160 is disposed at the central part of mesh portion 120. Mesh portion 120 surrounds final filling portion 160. Final filling portion 160 is a last part to be filled with a molten resin during injection molding, functions as a degassing portion during filling of a cavity with the molten resin, and may function as a part where an ejector pin comes into contact during releasing of an injection molded body. The ejector pin may come into contact from the front surface side of final filling portion 160, or from the back surface side of final filling portion 160. Final filling portion 160 may have any shape as long as the above functions are exhibited. In the present embodiment, final filling portion 160 has a shape of a column. One or more first ribs 122 among plurality of first ribs 122 and one or more second ribs 123 among plurality of second ribs 123 are connected to the side surface of final filling portion 160.

In mesh filter 100 according to the present embodiment, the cross-sectional area of at least one of the ribs connected to final filling portion 160 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of at least one of the ribs not connected to final filling portion 160. Herein, the “cross-sectional area of a rib” means the area of the cross section of the rib in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the rib. In the example illustrated in FIGS. 1A, 1B and 2A to 2D, all the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 122 and second ribs 123 connected to final filling portion 160 are the same. All the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 122 and second ribs 123 not connected to final filling portion 160 are the same. As illustrated in FIGS. 2C and 2D, the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 122 and second ribs 123 connected to final filling portion 160 are smaller than the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 122 and second ribs 123 not connected to final filling portion 160. (Herein “a first rib and a second rib connected to a final filling portion” means “a first rib connected to a final filling portion and a second rib connected to the final filling portion,” and “a first rib and a second rib not connected to a final filling portion” means “a first rib not connected to a final filling portion and a second rib not connected to the final filling portion.”)

Method for Manufacturing Mesh Filter

A method for manufacturing mesh filter 100 by using an injection molding method will now be described. The manufacturing of mesh filter 100 by using an injection molding method typically includes a mold clamping step of clamping a mold so that a cavity is formed inside thereof, a filling step of filling the inside of the mold (inside of the cavity) with a molten resin, a pressure holding step of holding the pressure of the resin filling the cavity, and a mold opening step of opening the mold.

Here, how a molten resin flows in the filling step will be described. FIGS. 3A and 3B are schematic views for explaining the flow of a molten resin in the filling step of the injection molding method. FIG. 3A illustrates the flow of the molten resin in the initial stage of the filling step, and FIG. 3B illustrates the flow of the molten resin in the latter stage of the filling step. The thick arrows in FIGS. 3A and 3B indicate directions in which the molten resin flows.

As illustrated in FIG. 3A, the molten resin fills cavity 143 from gate portion 142 in the filling step. The molten resin firstly fills space 144 corresponding to rim portion 140. This is because space 144 corresponding to rim portion 140 has a larger cross-sectional area than space 145 corresponding to first rib 122 and space 146 corresponding to second rib 123.

When space 144 corresponding to rim portion 140 is filled with the molten resin, space 145 corresponding to first rib 122 and space 146 corresponding to second rib 123 are then filled with the molten resin. As the space corresponding to final filling part 160 functions as a degassing portion, when all the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 122 and second ribs 123 are the same, spaces 145 and 146 corresponding to first rib 122 and second rib 123 connected to final filling portion 160 are more easily filled with the molten resin than spaces 145 and 146 corresponding to first rib 122 and second rib 123 not connected to final filling portion 160. As a result, when the spaces corresponding to final filling portion 160 is filled with the molten resin before spaces 145 and 146 corresponding to first rib 122 and second rib 123 not connected to final filling portion 160 are completely filled with the molten resin, parts of spaces 145 and 146 corresponding to first rib 122 and second rib 123 not connected to final filling portion 160 may not be filled with the molten resin.

As described above, however, the cross-sectional areas of first rib 122 and second rib 123 connected to final filling portion 160 are smaller than the cross-sectional areas of first rib 122 and second rib 123 not connected to final filling portion 160 in mesh filter 100 according to the present embodiment. That is, the cross-sectional area of space 145 corresponding to first rib 122 connected to final filling portion 160 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of space 145 corresponding to first rib 122 not connected to final filling portion 160. The cross-sectional area of space 146 corresponding to second rib 123 connected to final filling portion 160 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of space 146 corresponding to second rib 123 not connected to final filling portion 160 in a similar fashion. As illustrated in FIG. 3B, adjustment is made in such a way that the molten resin fills spaces 145 corresponding to first ribs 122 connected to final filling portion 160, spaces 145 corresponding to first ribs 122 not connected to final filling portion 160, spaces 146 corresponding to second ribs 123 connected to final filling portion 160, and spaces 146 corresponding to second ribs 123 not connected to final filling portion 160 at substantially the same timing. Since the entire cavity is appropriately filled with the molten resin, mesh filters 100 can be manufactured with a high yield.

Effects

In mesh filter 100 according to the present embodiment as described above, the cross-sectional areas of ribs connected to final filling portion 160 are smaller than the cross-sectional areas of ribs not connected to final filling portion 160, and thus, a molten resin evenly fills all ribs from rim portion 140 toward final filling portion 160 at the time of injection molding. Accordingly, mesh filters 100 can be manufactured at low cost with a high yield.

Embodiment 2

Mesh filter 200 according to embodiment 2 differs from mesh filter 100 according to embodiment 1 only in the configuration of mesh portion 220. The same reference numerals are given to the configurations same as those of mesh filter 100 according to Embodiment 1, and the descriptions thereof will be omitted.

Configuration of Mesh Filter

Mesh filter 200 according to the present embodiment includes mesh portion 220, rim portion 140, and final filling portion 160. Mesh portion 220 includes plurality of first ribs 222 and plurality of second ribs 223.

In the present embodiment, plurality of first ribs 222 and plurality of second ribs 223 are disposed at the same position in the height direction (Z direction) of the ribs. That is, plurality of first ribs 222 and plurality of second ribs 223 are disposed such that first ribs 222 intersect with second ribs 223 in mesh filter 200 according to the present embodiment.

The cross-sectional area of at least one of the ribs connected to final filling portion 160 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of at least one of the ribs not connected to final filling portion 160 also in mesh filter 200 according to the present embodiment. In the example illustrated in FIGS. 4A and 4B, all the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 222 and second ribs 223 connected to final filling portion 160 are the same. All the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 222 and second ribs 223 not connected to final filling portion 160 are also the same. The cross-sectional areas of first ribs 222 and second ribs 223 connected to final filling portion 160 are smaller than the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 222 and second ribs 223 not connected to final filling portion 160.

Effects

Mesh filter 200 according to the present embodiment provides substantially the same effects as that of mesh filter 100 according to Embodiment 1.

All the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 122, 222 (second ribs 123, 223) connected to final filling portion 160 are the same, and all the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 122, 222 (second ribs 123, 223) not connected to final filling portion 160 are the same in the above embodiments. However, the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 122, 222 (second ribs 123, 223) connected to final filling portion 160 may be different from each other, and the cross-sectional areas of first ribs 122, 222 (second ribs 123, 223) not connected to final filling portion 160 may also be different from each other.

As illustrated in FIG. 5A, final filling portion 160 may be formed to have the same thickness as mesh portion 120 in the third direction (Z direction). Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 5B, final filling portion 160 may be formed to be thinner than mesh portion 120 in the third direction (Z direction).

A membrane filter is typically known as a filter with a large number of extremely small holes, but a membrane filter is thin, and thus the membrane filter may not properly adhere to a case when the membrane filter is held in the case. As a result, the quality of products containing membrane filters tends to vary. In addition, products including membrane filters are expensive because of the complicated manufacturing process.

As described below, a cartridge with at least one filter can also be provided at low cost with high productivity by using the filter of the present invention.

FIGS. 7A to 7C illustrate the configuration of cartridge 400 with at least one filter according to embodiment 4 of the present invention. FIG. 7A is a plan view of cartridge 400 with at least one filter, FIG. 7B is a bottom view of the cartridge with at least one filter, FIG. 7C is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 7A.

As illustrated in FIGS. 7A to 7C, cartridge 400 with at least one filter includes at least one mesh filter 100, cylinder 410, and cap 430. Mesh filter 100 and cylinder 410 are integrally molded.

At least one mesh filter 100 includes first mesh filter 100a and second mesh filter 100b. First mesh filter 100a and second mesh filter 100b are substantially the same as mesh filter 100 according to Embodiment 1. First mesh filter 100a includes mesh portion 120, rim portion 140, and final filling portion 160. Second mesh filter 100b includes mesh portion 120, rim portion 140, and final filling portion 160. In each of first mesh filter 100a and second mesh filter 100b, a plurality of ribs are disposed in a grid pattern. First mesh filter 100a and second mesh filter 100b are each made of a resin and molded by integral molding.

Cylinder 410 holds mesh filter 100. Cylinder 410 may have any shape as long as cylinder 410 can hold mesh filter 100. In the present embodiment, cylinder 410 has a shape of a cylinder with a substantially circular cross section.

At one end of cylinder 410, pair of notched portions 312 and 312 are formed. Pair of notched portions 312 and 312 are disposed at the one end of the cylinder so as to be evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the cylinder. Gate marks 314 are formed at pair of notched portions 312 and 312, respectively. First opening 316 at the one end of cylinder 410 and second opening 318 at the other end of cylinder 410 may have any shape. The shape of first opening 316 and the shape of second opening 318 may be the same or different. In the present embodiment, first opening 316 and second opening 318 both have a circular shape. The opening edge of first opening 316 and the opening edge of second opening 318 are each formed in a tapered shape. Step portion 422 is disposed on inner side surface 320 of cylinder 410.

Step portion 422 may have any shape. In the present embodiment, step portion 422 is disposed on inner side surface 320 of cylinder 410. Step portion 422 holds first mesh filter 100a from the other end side and the side surface side. Step portion 422 may be at any position in the direction connecting first opening 316 and second opening 318 in cylinder 410. This position is appropriately set according to the application of cartridge 400 with at least one filter.

Cap 430 prevents first mesh filter 100a from coming out of cylinder 410 from the one end side. Cap 430 is to be disposed at one end of cylinder 410. Cap 430 includes cap body 432 and outer side wall portion 434. Cap body 432 is formed in such a way that cap body 432 is to engage with the inner peripheral surface of cylinder 410.
