Definitions
- This invention relates to filters and methods for manufacturing filters.
- Filters have been used with internal combustion engines for many years. For example, liquid filters for filtering the engine lubricating oil and for filtering gasoline, and air filters for filtering the engine combustion air, are necessary for proper operation of internal combustion engines.
- Conventional filters of this type consist of a pleated paper filtering media, which is arranged in a circumferentially extending array formed into a cylinder with the pleats tapering in a generally radial direction between outer tips and inner tips.
- a perforated centertube which is commonly made of metal, circumscribes the inner tips of the pleats and prevents radial collapse of the latter.
- the upper and lower edges of the pleats which define the ends of the array must be sealed to prevent fluid bypass of the filter.
- Prior art filters use a compound known commercially as Plastisol to seal the ends of the pleats.
- the Plastisol compound is dispensed in end caps (which may be made from either metal or paper) and the ends of the array are inserted in the end caps.
- the Plastisol is then cured by heat.
- noxious fumes are driven off, which must be properly disposed of.
- the curing process requires 10-75 seconds, which is the limiting factor in increasing line speeds for filter manufacture.
- the end caps used on liquid filters are often left in place even after curing is complete, even though these end caps serve no function other than as a carrier for the Plastisol, since the expense involved in stripping the end caps is greater than the cost of the end caps themselves.
- the present invention uses a photo-initiated polymer to replace the Plastisol used in prior art filters.
- the photo-initiated polymer is cured in a few seconds by exposure to an ultraviolet light source. Since the compound consists of 100% solids, no fumes are driven off during the curing process.
- Photo-initiated polymers are readily available commercially from several sources.
- the photo-initiated polymer cures in only a few seconds, use of this compound to replace the Plastisol compound used in existing manufacturing permits line speeds to be substantially increased, thereby substantially reducing the cost of the filter. Furthermore, since no noxious fumes are driven off during curing, the expensive equipment needed to dispose of such fumes is not necessary. Also, the molded end concept allows the filter of the present invention to include end caps which are designed to require the minimum amount of compound, while still maintaining acceptable hoop strength to prevent collapse of the pleats.
- Figure 1 is a view of a filter, partly in section, made pursuant to the teachings of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a view, partly in section, of the filter cartridge used in the filter of Figure 1;
- Figures 3 and 4 are plan views, respectively, of the top and bottom of the subassembly illustrated in Figure 2;
- Figure 5 is a block diagram illustrating the method in which the end caps are installed on the filter array illustrated in Figures 1 and 2;
- Figure 6 is a diagrammatic illustration of the dial machines used in the process illustrated diagram- matically in Figure 5;
- FIG 7 is a view, partly in section, of the grasping fixture used in the dial machine illustrated in Figure 6; and Figure 8 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of the filter array illustrated in Figure 2 placed upon the mold forming the end caps for the array.
- a filter assembly generally indicated by the numeral 10 includes a metal housing 14 which receives a filter cartridge generally indicated by the numeral 16.
- the filter cartridge 16 is illustrated in detail in Figure 2.
- the filter 10 is a liquid filter for filtrating the lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine, and is provided with an engagement surface 18 on the end thereof for mounting on the conventional mounting surface (not shown) of the vehicle engine.
- the oil to be filtered is communicated through openings (not shown) carried on the engagement surface or mounting base 18.
- Fluid to be filtered is communicated into chamber 20 defined between circumferentially extending wall 22 of the housing 14 and the outer tips 24 of a conventional pleated paper filtering medium 26.
- the filtering media 26 consists of a circumferentially extending array of pleats tapering radially between outer tips 24 thereof and inner tips 28.
- the array is formed into a cylinder, and includes an upper end cap 30 which seals the upper ends of the pleats defining the cylinder formed by the media 26 and a lower end cap 32 which seals the lower ends of the pleats defining the cylinder comprising the media 26.
- a perforated centertube 34 circumscribes the inner circum- ferential surface of the media 26 defined by the tips 28 to provide support of the media 26 against collapse of the pleats. Although centertubes 34 are commonly used in filters, there are not always necessary.
- each of the end caps 30, 32 include areas of reduced thickness 36 and thickened areas defining ribs 38, 40.
- the rib 40 extends circumferentially around the end cap and projects radially to extend across the end of the centertube 34 and a portion of the corresponding ends of the pleats comprising the media 26.
- Reinfdrcing ribs 38 extend chordally across the ends of the corresponding pleats. The reinforcing ribs 38, 40 cooperate to increase the hoop strength of the end cap while permitting the intervening portions 36 to be of reduced thickness, thereby minimizing the amount of the material necessary to manufacture the end caps 30, 32.
- the end cap 32 includes circumferentially spaced, radially projecting tabs 42 which project beyond the circumference defined by the outer tips 38 of the media 26 to engage the wall 22 of the housing, to thereby center the array of filtering media 26 within the housing 14.
- the upper end (viewing Figure 1) of the centertube 34 is closed by a centertube cap 44.
- the centertube 44 includes a surface 46 which seals against the circumferen ⁇ tially extending rib 40.
- a leaf spring 48 engages the end cap 44 and extends across the end cap 30 to engage end wall 50 of the housing 14, which closes one end of circum ⁇ ferentially wall 22.
- Centertube 34 includes circumferen- tially spaced, radially inwardly extending projections 52 engaging the centertube cap 44 to permit the spring means 48 to urge the centertube cap 44 against the projections to thereby relieve the rib 40 of end cap 30 of some of the force that would otherwise exerted by the leaf spring 48, to thereby prevent a "cookie cutter” effect of the end of the centertube 34 cutting through the rib 40.
- Similar projections are provided at the opposite end of the centertube 34, but these projections serve no purpose, other than permitting the centertube to be installed in the cartridge 16 without regard of which end of the centertube is placed adjacent the end cap 30 and center ⁇ tube cap 44.
- a three dial indexing dial machine illustrated generally at 52 includes a pair of mold dials 54, 56 which are indexed in the direction of the arrows. Each of the openings in mold dials 54, 56 receives a transparent, glass mold 58. As can best be seen in Figure 8, the upper surface (viewing Figure 8) of the mold 58 is contoured at 60 in the shape of the upper end cap 30 and has a corresponding contouring 62 on opposite surface thereof which corresponds to the lower end cap 32.
- the molds 58 are installed on the dials 54 and 56 so that alternate molds installed in stations 54A-54H of dial 54 and 56A-56H of dial 56 are inverted; that is, alternate molds will be installed on the stations of the dials 54, 56 with the surface 60 facing upwardly, and the other molds will be installed with the surface 62 facing upwardly. As will be seen, the molds are never inverted during normal operation of the machine.
- the mold 58 be manufactured of glass or some other transparent material, since an important feature of the invention is that the material from which the end caps 30, 32 are made is a photo-initiated polymer.
- This type of polymer is initially in a liquid or semi-liquid state, but responds to ultraviolet light to cure (within a time period of a few seconds) into a solid, sealing state.
- the station 54H of mold dial 54 is equipped with an ultraviolet light 58 indicated by the dashed lines, which is immediately below the station 54H.
- mold dial 56 is provided with a source of ultraviolet light 60, which is immediately below the station 56H.
- Dial machine 52 further includes indexing dial 62 from which arms 64A-64H extend. Dial 62 is indexed in the direction indicated by the arrow. Fixtures indicated schematically at 66 are mounted on each of the arms 64A-64H.
- the fixtures 66 include clamshell grippers 68 and a mold supporting arm capable of picking up, kicking off, raising and lowering the molds 58 as will be here ⁇ inafter described.
- Each of the fixtures 66 also include clamshell grippers, each of which comprises a pair of grasping arms 70, 72. Referring to Figure 8, upon actuation by engagement of the roller 74 with an appro- priate cam, the arms 70, 72 may be spread apart to grasp filter cartridge 16 or to release a filter cartridge 16.
- Each of the fixtures 66 includes a mold supporting arm 76 which supports one of the molds 58.
- the mold supporting arm 76 is mounted on a spindle 78 for vertical movement in response to engagement with an appropriate cam or other operator (not shown) , to either raise or lower the mold 58 with respect to the grippers 68.
- Fixture 66 can move back and forth along the axis of the arm 64 a small amount to permit the mold supporting table 76 to be moved underneath one of the molds 58 located on the dials 54 or 56.
- Clam ⁇ shell grippers 68 are mounted on a spindle 78. Upon release of the mechanism 80 by appropriate cam or other operator, the gripper 70 can be rotated about the axis of the spindle 78 by another cam or other operator.
- Unfinished cartridges 16 are fed to the dial 62 at station 64A thereof and finished cartridges with the end caps 30, 32 installed are kicked off the dial 62 at station 64G thereof, as indicated in Figure 6.
- the cartridge 16 is picked up by the fixture carried on the arm disposed in the position illustrated at 64A in Figure 6.
- the cartridge is then transferred through idle station 64B into the station illustrated at 64C in Figure 6.
- the photo-initiated polymer is dispensed into the mold 58 when the mold is disposed in the position marked 54A in Figure 6.
- the rest of the positions between 54A and station 54H are idle stations, where the necessary inspec ⁇ tions, etc. may be performed.
- the mold supporting table 76 picks up the mold disposed in the station 54H, and raises the mold into engagement with the lower end of the cartridge 16 which is being gripped by the grippers 68.
- the ultra ⁇ violet light source is then actuated to cure the polymer.
- the cartridge 16, with the mold 58 in place on the table 76 is indexed toward the position illustrated in the dashed lines as 64D in Figure 6.
- the arm 76 is lowered to strip the mold 58 from the cartridge.
- the grippers 68 are caused to rotate about the axis 80 by 180°, to thereby invert the cartridge, so that the end cap that has just been installed on the cartridge is on top, and the unfinished end of the cartridge is on the bottom.
- the dial 62 then indexes to the position illustrated at 64E in Figure 6.
- the mold which was carried from the dial 54 is then kicked off into station 56H.
- Dial 56 is then indexed one station, moving the mold that has just been trans ⁇ ferred from dial 54 into the station 56A.
- Station 56A is a dispensing station, where the polymer is dispensed into the mold.
- the remaining stations 56B-56G are idle stations where the necessary inspections, etc., can take place.
- the mold in station 56G which has the opposite surface 60 or 62 facing upward as compared to the mold that was just transferred from dial 54, is indexed into station 56H. Since this mold has already had polymer dispensed into it at station 56A, the mold is then picked up on the mold arm 76, brought into engagement with the end of the cartridge 16, cured by actuating the ultra ⁇ violet light 60, and then, as the dial is indexed towards the station 64, the mold is stripped from the filter cartridge.
- Station 64F is an idle station, and the dial 62 is rotated from this station to the station 64G, where the clamshell gripper 68 is released to release the filter cartridge 16 with the end caps applied.
- 64H is also an idle station.
- the mold which is picked up off the dial 56 remains on the table 76 as the dial 62 is indexed through position 64F, 64G, 64H, 64A, and 64B.
- This mold is redeposited on the table 54 at station 54H, before the dial 54 is indexed to bring the dial in position 54G into the 54H position.
- the mold is then raised into position against the end of the new cartridge which has just been picked up at station 64A and the entire process repeats. Accordingly, molds are transferred from station 54H of dial 54 to station 56H of the dial 56.
- the dial 56 is rotated, a new mold is transferred into station 56H, which is picked up by the fixture, and then rotated through the other sta ⁇ tions and deposited back on dial 54.
- molds are continuously interchanged between the dials 54, 56.
- the specific embodiment disclosed relates to a filter for filtering the lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine
- the concept disclosed may also be applied to filters for filtering other liquids (such as gasoline) or gasses (such as the combustion air used by an internal combustion engine) or for filters used for applications other than internal combustion engines.
