Abstract

A filter assembly of an air filter, which includes a corrugated filter sheet, and both ends thereof are mounted in a clamp space between two rows of corrugated positioning grooves of the upper and lower clamp plates of a horizontal lintel; both sides thereof are clamped in two vertical jambs respectively; the corner ends of the horizontal lintel and the vertical jamb are connected together by using a connection plate to plug therein; then, the outer surface of the filter assembly and the corner ends will be pressed and punched to have the horizontal lintels, the vertical jambs, and the filter sheet fastened together to form into a filter for screening dust.

Claims

1. A filter assembly of an air filter comprising:

a fixed frame including two horizontal lintels and two vertical jambs;

outer edges of said horizontal lintels and said vertical jambs being furnished with an outer ring edge;

corner ends between said horizontal lintel and said vertical jamb furnished with plugging grooves respectively for receiving a connection plate;

flat plates on outer ring edges of said horizontal lintel and said vertical jamb extended inwards with arm plates and clamp plates respectively;

lower flat plate of said outer ring edge extended with a vertical plate, an inner plate and a clamp plate;

a given distance being left between said two clamp plates for receiving end part of said filter sheet so as to clamp the same in place;

tail ends of said two clamp plates of said horizontal lintel furnished with a plurality of alternate and opposite corrugated positioning groves for holding two ends of said corrugated filter sheet respectively;

a said filter sheet for screening dust, and top and bottom surfaces of said filter sheet covered with a metal screen, and being cut into a suitable length and width, and being bent into a corrugated sheet;

both ends of said corrugated sheet to be mounted in said positioning grooves of said clamp plates in said horizontal lintel, while two sides thereof being mounted in a clamp space of said vertical jambs respectively;

a said connection plate, of which both ends being plugged into hollow grooves of two adjacent said horizontal lintel and vertical jamb so as to have said two parts connected together;

a resilient cover which being attached on top and bottom surfaces of said outer ring edge of said fixed frame.

2. A filter assembly of an air filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein said fixed frame has a horizontal lintel and a vertical jamb;

said horizontal lintel having an outer ring edge which including two flat plates, and an upper flat plate thereof being in open condition before said filter sheet being assembled so as to facilitate said filter sheet to insert in said positioning grooves of said clamp plates.

3. A filter assembly of an air filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein said fixed frame has a horizontal lintel and a vertical jamb, of which each including an upper frame side and a lower frame side, and inner sides thereof having straight surfaces respectively;

both ends of said corrugated filter sheet each being mounted with a separated upper fastening plate and a separated lower fastening plate before being inserted into a clamp space of said horizontal lintel.

4. A filter assembly of an air filter as claimed in claim 3, wherein said upper and lower fastening plates are to be inserted in said clamp space of said horizontal lintel, and tail ends of said fastening plates furnished with alternate and opposite corrugated positioning grooves, which being mated together with corrugated ends of said filter sheet respectively.

5. A filter assembly of an air filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein inner sides of said upper and lower frame sides of said horizontal lintel and said vertical jamb are straight surfaces respectively;

one end of said filter sheet covered with an edge strip being inserted into said clamp space between said upper frame side and said lower frame side of said horizontal lintel;

outer edge of said filter sheet being clamped with said two horizontal lintels and said two vertical jambs.

6. A filter assembly of an air filter as claimed in claim 5, wherein a cotton filter of said filter sheet is covered with a metal screen on both sides thereof;

both ends of said filter sheet being covered with a resilient edge strip along edge of said cotton filter so as to have said edge strip and inner edge of said clamp space of said horizontal lintel contacted closely.

7. A filter assembly of an air filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein both top and bottom surfaces of said outer ring edge of said fixed frame is covered with a resilient rubber cover.

8. A filter assembly of an air filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein said top and bottom surfaces of said outer ring edge of said fixed frame are covered with a foam rubber belt along said frame side of said filter assembly.

9. A filter assembly of an air filter comprising:

a fixed frame including two horizontal lintels and two vertical jambs;

inner edges of said upper frame sides of said horizontal lintel and said vertical jamb are furnished with an arm plate to clamp a filter sheet, and outer edge thereof having a small flat plate extended outwards;

tail end of said small flat plate furnished with a cylindrical side post to be mounted with a resilient cover;

said lower frame side having a vertical plate and an arm plate extended downwards, and a clamp space formed between said upper frame side and said lower frame side;

inner edges of an upper clamp surface and a lower clamp surface having a short distance between one end of said vertical plate and said inner edges, and a positioning salient strip being furnished in said short distance;

surface of said vertical plate inside said clamp space glued with a foam rubber plate;

both sides of said frame having cut ends respectively, and a plugging groove formed between said positioning salient strip and said vertical plate surface of said upper and lower clamp surfaces;

said plugging groove to be plugged with a L-shaped connection plate;

a filter sheet being used to filter dust;

both upper and lower sides thereof covered with metal screens respectively;

said filer sheet being cut into a suitable size and being formed into a corrugated sheet, of which both ends being plugged into said clamp space of said horizontal lintels, and end thereof being in contact with said foam rubber plate of said vertical plate;

other two sides of said filter sheet mounted in said clamp space of said vertical jamb;

a connection plate being formed into L-shaped plate, of which both ends being plugged into end corners of an inner groove surface of said clamp space between said two frames so as to have said end corners of said two frames connected together;

a resilient cover being covered over said small flat plate and said cylindrical side post of said upper frame side.
