The present disclosure relates to the field of parts and components technologies of air blowers, and in particular, to a mounting device for a filter element and an air blower.
A head of an air blower has a large demand for air inflow, and accordingly a corresponding air filter element usually has a larger size than that of a filter element. Therefore, in a workshop production-line assembly stage and a customer on-site maintenance and replacement stage, mounting of the filter element is relatively time-consuming. Meanwhile, the air blower has a complicated inner structure, so that a common bolted connection is often difficult to ensure one-time successful mounting during mounting and replacement of the filter element.
The present disclosure aims to at least solve one of the technical problems in the related art. To this end, the present disclosure provides a mounting device for a filter element, which is easy to mount and dismount.
The present disclosure further provides an air blower using the above mounting device, which allows easy mounting and dismounting.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting device for the filter element includes a fixed seat, a mounting seat, and a plurality of quick-assembling assemblies. The mounting seat includes a mounting portion, and a plurality of support portions spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the mounting portion and connected to the mounting portion. A mounting space is defined by the mounting portion and the plurality of support portions, and the filter element is mountable within the mounting space. The plurality of quick-assembling assemblies is in one-to-one correspondence to the plurality of support portions. Each of the plurality of the quick-assembling assemblies has one end connected to a corresponding support portion of the plurality of support portions and another end connected to the fixed seat.
With the mounting device for the filter element according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the filter element can be quickly fastened onto the fixed seat by means of the quick-assembling assemblies, which facilitates mounting and dismounting of the filter element.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the plurality of quick-assembling assemblies includes a first connection member and a second connection member. The first connection member is disposed on the fixed seat. The second connection member is disposed on the corresponding support portion. The second connection member is engageable with or disengageable from the first connection member.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, one of the first connection member and the second connection member is a hook, and the other one of the first connection member and the second connection member is a snap.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the fixed seat includes a body, and a plurality of brackets. The plurality of brackets is disposed on the body, and is in one-to-one correspondence to the plurality of support portions. Each of the plurality of brackets is provided with the first connection member.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the plurality of brackets is detachably disposed on the body.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the plurality of support portions includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is connected to the mounting portion. The first portion and the mounting portion abut against an axial end portion of the filter element away from the fixed seat. The second portion is vertically connected to the first portion and abuts against a circumferential side surface of the filter element. The second connection member is arranged on the second portion.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second portion extends in a lengthwise direction perpendicular to the mounting portion and the body.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting seat further includes a fastener disposed on the mounting portion and configured to be connected to the filter element.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of support portions includes at least three support portions.

The mounting seat 20 includes a mounting portion 21, and a plurality of support portions 22 spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the mounting portion 22 and connected to the mounting portion 21. A mounting space 23 is defined by the mounting portion 21 and the plurality of support portions 22, and the mounting space 23 is used to mount the filter element 200. The filter element 200 is configured to filter air entering the filter element 200 to obtain clean air. The mounting space 23 is configured to limit the filter element 200 to be kept stationary relative to the mounting seat 20 without moving. For example, provided are two support portions 22 that are each configured as a plate-shaped structure with an arc-shaped cross section, and the filter element 200 is generally cylindrical. Therefore, the arc-shaped support portions 22 are attached on a circumferential side surface of the cylindrical filter element 200 to improve stability of the filter element 200; or, provided are three support portions 22 that are each configured as a plate-shaped structure with a beeline-shaped or arc-shaped cross section, and the three support portions 22 can limit the filter element 200 to be kept stationary without moving. In addition, more support portions 22, for example, four, five support portions, or the like may be provided, and details thereof will be omitted herein.
The plurality of quick-assembling assemblies 30 is in one-to-one correspondence to the plurality of support portions 22. Each of the plurality of the quick-assembling assemblies 30 has one end connected to the corresponding support portion 22 and another end connected to the fixed seat 10. The mounting seat 20 can be quickly fastened onto the fixed seat 10 by means of the quick-assembling assemblies 30 to achieve quick mounting and replacement of the filter element 200. Compared with a bolted connection in the related art, in the present disclosure, it is possible to position the fixed seat 10 relative to the mounting seat 20 in a dark environment, and thus a positioning success rate can be improved.
With the mounting device 100 for the filter element 200 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the filter element 200 can be quickly fastened onto the fixed seat 10 by means of the quick-assembling assemblies 30, which facilitates mounting and dismounting of the filter element 200.

In some embodiments, each of the plurality of brackets 12 extends in the lengthwise direction and abuts against the circumferential side surface of the filter element 200. Since the bracket 12 abuts against the circumferential side surface of the filter element 200, support for the filter element 200 is further increased, thereby improving the stability of the filter element 200.
In some embodiments, each of the plurality of brackets 12 is detachably disposed on the body 11. Since the bracket 12 is detachably disposed on the body 11, it is convenient to maintain and replace the first connection member 31 later.
In some embodiments, a through hole is formed on the bracket 12, a corresponding through hole is formed on the body 11, and the bracket 12 is fastened onto the body 11 by engaging a bolt with a nut. In some embodiments, the bracket 12 may also be fastened by a screw or the like, and details thereof will be omitted herein.
In some other embodiments, the through hole is formed on the bracket 12, the corresponding through hole is formed on the body 11, and the bracket 12 is fixed onto the body 11 by means of a rivet.
In some embodiments, there are at least three support portions 22. For example, three support portions 22 are provided. The three support portions 22 are circumferentially distributed on the mounting portion 21 and abut against the circumferential side surface of the filter element 200. Therefore, it is possible to satisfy the concept of triangular stability design while reducing structural complexity of the support portion 22. Thus, machining difficulty can be reduced while ensuring supporting stability.
