Filter frame, filter cartridge, and assembling method of the filter cartridge
A filter frame, a filter cartridge, and an assembling method of the filter cartridge are provided. The method has the following steps. A filter core and a filter frame are prepared. The filter frame has a glue-cutting segment. Glue is coated around an outer wall of the filter core, and then the filter frame, which is mounted around the filter core, is pushed toward the glue to make the glue-cutting segment press the glue until the glue is cut into two parts. The inner glue part disposed between the filter core and the filter frame seals the filter cartridge. The outer glue part is disposed on an outer side of the filter frame, and is superfluous and removed. The glue-coating is combined with the mounting of the filter frame, thereby saving time and effort.
1. A filter frame comprising:
a frame body being annular, and having two end openings; and
a glue-cutting segment annularly formed around an edge of one of the two end openings of the frame body, and having
a transverse outer surface and a transverse inner surface disposed opposite each other; and
at least one annular slope making a distance between the transverse outer surface and the transverse inner surface gradually decrease in a direction away from the frame body;
wherein an end edge of the glue-cutting segment, the transverse outer surface of the glue-cutting segment, and an outer wall of the frame body at a position next to the glue-cutting segment are coated with a release agent for separating glue.
2. The filter frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of the at least one annular slope is one, and the glue-cutting segment further has an annular upright surface; the annular upright surface and the annular slope are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the glue-cutting segment.
3. The filter frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the annular slope is formed on the transverse outer surface, and the annular upright surface is formed on the transverse inner surface.
4. The filter frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the annular upright surface is formed on the transverse outer surface, and the annular slope is formed on the transverse inner surface.
5. The filter frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of the at least one annular slope is two, and the two annular slopes are respectively formed on the transverse inner surface and the transverse outer surface.
6. The filter frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the end edge of the glue-cutting segment is one of, a plane or a curved surface protruding outwardly.
7. The filter frame as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a flange protruding from the outer wall of the frame body at a position adjacent to the glue-cutting segment.
8. A filter cartridge with a filter frame as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
a filter core having multiple axial channels;
the filter frame mounted around the filter core, and the glue-cutting segment of the filter frame mounted around an outer wall of the filter core; and
glue coated between the filter frame and the filter core, and extending from a position between the outer wall of the filter core and the frame body to a position between the outer wall of the filter core and the glue-cutting segment; an axial outer end surface of the glue aligned with the end edge of the glue-cutting segment.
9. The filter cartridge as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the axial outer end surface of the glue and the end edge of the glue-cutting segment are aligned with one of two axial outer end surfaces of the filter core.
10. The filter cartridge as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the glue is a hot-melt adhesive.
