    摘要: A tank has two substantially parallel side surfaces, a tank first side surface and a tank second side surface, and the return filter is provided in the tank via an insertion hole formed in the tank first side surface. The strainer has one end provided on an outflow portion provided on a bottom surface of a filter case and the other end provided on the tank second side surface.

    摘要: A backflow of liquid inside a filter device during an operation of an internal combustion engine is allowed to be obviated while air inside the filter device is purged so as not to generate bubbles in the liquid. An outflow portion that includes a cylindrical portion having a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape and a back pressure valve provided inside the cylindrical portion is provided so as to penetrate a bottom surface of a case. In addition, a lid body provided on the case and an upper plate of a filter element so as to cover an upper end of the case has a first hole that communicates between a space inside the case and a space outside the case. When the back pressure valve opens (a valve body does not abut on a first valve seat), a space inside the filter element communicates with the space outside the case via a second through-hole formed in a side surface of the cylindrical portion.

    摘要: An inner case being substantially cylindrical and being covered at an upper end is provided to cover a heater being substantially rod-shaped. A float being substantially plate-shaped and having substantially the same inner diameter as an inner diameter of the inner case is provided movably in the vertical direction in the inner case, and in the float, a hole through which the heater is inserted is formed. Gas is enclosed in a space surrounded by the inner case and the float. The length in the vertical direction of the inner case is smaller than the length in the vertical direction of the heater. In addition, when the float is positioned at a lower end of the inner case, a gap exists between the float and a bottom surface of a filter case.

    摘要: An IC tag is attached to a filter element and a contact of the IC tag with liquid is avoidable. An IC tag is provided inside an upper plate provided so as to cover an upper end surface of a filter medium in a filter element. A lid body is provided on the case into which the filter element is inserted, and an antenna is provided on the lid body.

    摘要: A filter device allows avoiding liquid and dust before filtration to flow out to a tank during replacement of a filter element. A case includes a first tubular portion and a second tubular portion positioned with a lower side of the first tubular portion. The second tubular portion has a diameter smaller than that of the first tubular portion. In a state where the filter element is provided inside the case, a tubular portion of the filter element abuts on the second tubular portion. A part abutting on the second tubular portion of the tubular portion is absent of a hole. A part without abutment on the second tubular portion of the tubular portion has a plurality of holes.

    摘要: An air vent hole includes a substantially columnar hole main body portion, a first hole portion formed on the upper side of the hole main body portion, and a second hole portion formed on the lower side of the hole main body portion. Each of the first hole portion and the second hole portion partly has, in a cross section of the hole portion substantially orthogonal to a first direction that is a longitudinal direction of the hole main body portion, a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-sectional area of a cross section of the hole main body portion substantially orthogonal to the first direction. A float inserted into the air vent hole is movable between a position where the float occludes the first hole portion and a position where the float occludes the second hole portion. The float occludes the first hole portion under the weight of the float. However, the float is pushed up by air. Furthermore, the float is formed of a material having a smaller specific gravity than a liquid to be filtered. Thus, the float is pushed up by the liquid to occlude the first hole portion.

    摘要: A spool, including a substantially cylindrical flange portion and a substantially cylindrical front end portion which is thinner than the flange portion and whose center axis is substantially coincident with the center axis of the flange portion, is provided in a manner capable of slidingly moving in a cavity formed in a casing. The flange portion is inserted in a first cavity which has a center axis substantially coincident with the center axis of the casing and which has an inner diameter that is substantially the same as the diameter of the flange portion in length. The front end portion is inserted in a second cavity which is formed with its center axis being substantially coincident with the center axis of the casing, and which has an inner diameter greater than the diameter of the front end portion and less than the inner diameter of the first cavity in length. The rotation limiting portion, which has a rod-like shape thinner than the front end portion and which is provided along the front end portion in a manner contacting the side surface of the front end portion, is inserted in a groove portion formed on the side face of the second cavity. When the flange portion slidingly moves along the first cavity, the rotation limiting portion slidingly moves along the groove portion.

    摘要: Inside a tank body storing a liquid, a return filter is provided protruding downward from an upper surface of the tank body, and a substantially plate-like (plate-shaped) float is also provided that is inserted into the tank body and floats in accordance with change in a liquid surface of the liquid stored in the tank body. The float is provided with an opening larger than a diameter of a filter case, and in a plan view, the float is disposed between the tank body and the filter case.
