Abstract:
A filtration system interconnection structure includes a filter manifold and a filter cartridge in magnetic communication produced by two complementary correlated magnets capable of generating a magnetic force when in close proximity to one another. The filter magnet polarity transitions are aligned with the manifold magnet polarity transitions such that a repulsion force is generated between the magnets when the filter cartridge is inserted within the manifold sump. The magnetic repulsion force may be used to move a blocking mechanism or actuate a latch structure in the manifold to secure the filter cartridge within the manifold sump upon insertion, or to provide non-contacting actuation of a downstream valve so as to permit or prevent the flow of fluid. Utilizing correlated magnetism in a filter interconnect further provides enhanced authentication and/or anti-counterfeiting means to ensure that only authorized or OEM filter cartridges can be installed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a garbage bin, which includes a main body and a filter component. The main body is provided with an opening. The filter component is detachably provided on the opening to close the opening. The main body is further provided with a water inlet. The filter component is detachably provided on the opening, the opening is not only configured to drain water during operation but also configured to pour garbage after operation, thus, it is unnecessary to provide another window for cleaning the garbage, thereby beneficially reducing the processing difficulty; in addition, after the filter component is disassembled, cleaning of a worker for an inside of the garbage bin and the filter component may be further facilitated, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
Abstract:
A gravity-fed filtration system interconnection structure comprising a reservoir for receiving ingress fluid, and a second, dispensing reservoir. A carrier or shuttle having a carrier magnet is connected to a sluice gate valve which normally blocks the opening to the second reservoir. A filter cartridge may be received by the reservoir and includes a housing body, and a filter magnet disposed within or fixedly connected to the housing body. The filter magnet and the carrier magnet are interconnected via magnetic communication upon insertion of the filter cartridge into the reservoir recess, to move the carrier and/or sluice gate valve as a result of shear force or rotational force generated between the magnets.
Abstract:
A filtration system interconnection structure having a filter manifold including a sump housing and a first correlated magnet located on or connected to a portion of the manifold, and a filter cartridge including a filter media, first and second end caps sealed to the filter media, and a second, paired correlated magnet located on or connected to the filter cartridge housing body. The first and second correlated magnets are interconnected via magnetic communication upon insertion of the filter cartridge into the sump housing, and upon movement of the filter cartridge into an alignment position, the correlated magnet located on or connected to the manifold is permitted to translate as a result of the magnetic communication. The polarity profiles of the paired correlated magnets are aligned such that a repulsion force is created when the filter cartridge is inserted within the manifold sump housing.
Abstract:
An in-line filter is disclosed for filtering fluid flowing through a hydraulic system, particularly an automotive hydraulic system. The filter has a magnetic base with a central opening at its outlet and a seat with a central opening at its inlet. The base and the seat are joined by a cylindrical filter element made of a magnetically susceptible mesh screen material. A spring within the filter element biases a ball against the central opening of the seat normally sealing off the opening and forcing fluid to flow through the filter element to be filtered. If the mesh screen becomes clogged, backpressure forces the ball away from the seat against the bias of the spring to allow fluid to bypass the filter element and flow directly through the filter. Ferrous debris within the fluid flow continues to be captured by attraction to the magnetic base and the magnetized filter element.
Abstract:
The filter device is for filtering liquids and has a reservoir member for receiving the liquid to be filtered and a spout member for exit of the liquid after it is filtered, the spout member being assembled to the reservoir member with a filter disc therebetween. Each of these members has an annular ceramic magnet, these ceramic magnets being adjacent each other when the members are assembled whereby the magnetic attraction sealingly clamps the filter disc between the members. In accordance with the invention, the annular ceramic magnet of the reservoir member is completely enclosed within a closed annular cavity in the organic plastic of the reservoir member, the annular magnet being of smaller size than the annular cavity; and the annular ceramic magnet of the spout member is completely enclosed within a closed annular cavity in the organic plastic of the spout member, this annular magnet also being of smaller size than the annular cavity in which it is enclosed. Hence, the ceramic magnets are protected by the organic plastic against chipping, cracking, corrosion or like deterioration but because they are of smaller size than the cavities there is room for expansion, without creation of stresses, when the device is heated in an autoclave as is sometimes required.

Disclosed is a filter element butt joint mechanism, including: a fixed base with a mounting cavity; a butt joint base arranged in the mounting cavity and close to an inner end of the fixed base; a filter element including a housing, a head of the housing being inserted into the mounting cavity from an outer end, an insertion pipe being formed at the head of the housing; a limit sliding-clamping mechanism; and a screw transmission mechanism, wherein a groove is formed in the head of the housing, and an insertion pipe is formed in the groove; a boss matched with the groove is formed on the butt joint base, and a plug-hole matching the insertion pipe is formed on the boss.

Abstract:
A filtration system interconnection structure having manifold with a rotatable manifold magnet of correlated magnets, a shroud with alignment tracks, an actuating valve for water ingress, and a filter cartridge having a rotatable filter magnet of correlated magnets, where the manifold magnet and the filter magnet are in magnetic communication with one another when the filter cartridge is inserted with the shroud, and are at least partially rotatably compatible, where the manifold magnet rotates with the filter magnet until the manifold magnet experiences a rotational stop beyond a predetermined rotation of the filter magnet, thus allowing the filter magnet to shift polarity with respect to the manifold magnet and present a repulsion force for removal of the filter cartridge from the shroud.
Abstract:
An in-line or in situ filter is disclosed for filtering fluid flowing through a hydraulic system, and particularly an automotive hydraulic system. The filter has a magnetic base with a central opening at its outlet end and a seat with a central opening at its inlet. The base and the seat are joined by a cylindrical filter element made of a magnetically susceptible mesh screen material. A spring within the filter element biases a ball against the central opening of the seat normally sealing off the opening and forcing fluid to flow through the filter element to be filtered before exiting through the central opening of the base. If the mesh screen becomes clogged, backpressure forces the ball away from the seat against the bias of the spring to allow fluid to bypass the filter element and flow directly through the filter. In the process, ferrous debris entrained within the fluid flow continues to be captured by attraction to the magnetic base and the magnetized filter element.
