Definitions
- the subject invention is related to fluid filtration devices, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for forming a spiral pleated filter cartridge.
- Cylindrical filter elements having radially extending longitudinal pleats are well known in the art and have been employed for many years to filter a wide range of fluids. Typically, because of the radial geometry of the pleats, there is a significant degree of spacing between adjacent pleat surfaces. Spiral pleated filter elements, which are also well known in the art, are designed so that adjacent pleats are laid-over upon one another so as to more effectively occupy the spacing between adjacent pleat surfaces, and thereby utilize more of the surface area of the filter material.
- Spiral pleated filter elements which are also well known in the art, are designed so that adjacent pleats are laid-over upon one another so as to more effectively occupy the spacing between adjacent pleat surfaces, and thereby utilize more of the surface area of the filter material.
- Early examples of spiral pleated filters are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,395,449, 2,401,
- the Stoyell et al. filter element comprises a three-layer composite of a filter medium, an upstream drainage layer disposed on the upstream surface of the filter medium, and a downstream drainage layer disposed on the downstream surface of the filter medium.
- the drainage layers are in the form of an extruded polymeric mesh oriented and configured so that opposing surfaces of adjacent pleats are in intimate contact with one another over a substantial portion of the length of the filter element.
- the Stoyell et al. patents also disclose a method of forming a cylindrical filter element having radially extending pleats into a filter element having a plurality of laid-over pleats by placing the filter element over a cylindrical core disposed on a chuck, and thereafter placing a tubular member having an inner diameter which corresponds to the desired outer diameter of the laid-over filter element on the upper end of the filter element and pressing it downwards. As the tubular member moves downward, the pleats of the filter element are progressively laid-over against one another. When the entire length of the tubular member has been fit over the filter element, the tubular member, the core and the filter element are removed from the chuck and disposed on a second chuck.
- a cylindrical cage having an inner diameter corresponding to the desired outer diameter of the laid-over filter element is then placed on top of the tubular member and pressed downward until it completely displaces the tubular member from the filter element.
- the assembly, comprising the core, the laid over filter element and the cage are then removed from the second chuck and end caps are installed on both ends thereof.
- a filter cartridge formed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the subject invention includes a generally cylindrical filter element having a plurality of longitudinally extending pleats which are laid- over one another to form a spiral pleat pattern along the entire length of the filter element.
- the filter element is a three-layer composite structure which consists of an upstream drainage layer, an interior filtration layer, and a downstream drainage layer.
- the filtration layer consists of one or more porous sheets of material having a uniform thickness, and at least one of the drainage layers consist of an extruded polymeric mesh material of the type commonly referred to as a "non-symmetric" mesh.
- the specific material contemplated is Delnet® polymeric mesh.
- Non-symmetric meshes also known as asymmetric meshes
- Delnet® polymeric mesh are formed with a predominant set of spaced apart strands extending in the machine direction of the mesh.
- the predominant set of strands of the mesh on either the upstream or downstream drainage layer, or both faces outwardly from the surface of the interior filtration layer.
- the subject invention discloses a unique method for forming the spiral pleated filter element described hereinabove which comprises the steps of providing a cylindrical filter element having a plurality of radially extending longitudinal pleats, engaging an outer periphery of the cylindrical filter element along a substantial portion of the length thereof, and simultaneously moving the plurality of radially extending longitudinal pleats into a laid-over spiraled configuration along the entire length of the cylindrical filter element to form a spiral pleated filter element.
- the method comprises the steps of providing a cylindrical filter element having an initial outer diameter, engaging an outer periphery of the cylindrical filter element along a substantial portion of the length thereof, and simultaneously reducing the outer diameter of the cylindrical filter element along the entire length thereof.
- the subject invention also discloses an automated apparatus for forming the spiral pleated filter element described hereinabove.
- the apparatus includes an assembly including a plurality of pneumatically actuated circumferentially disposed engagement members each having a respective arcuate engagement flange for engaging the outer periphery of a cylindrical pleated filter element along a substantial portion of the length thereof.
- the engagement members are mounted in such a manner so that when actuated, the engagement flanges simultaneously move along inwardly curved involute paths, thereby reducing the outer diameter of the cylindrical pleated filter element and urging the radially extending pleats into a laid-over spiraled configuration.
- a ram piston is disposed below and in axial alignment with the spiral pleated filter element. After the diameter of the pleated filter element has been reduced by the spiraling assembly, the ram urges the filter element upward into the cylindrical cage until the filter element is fully enclosed therein. Thereafter, the completed filter assembly is removed from the apparatus by the operator.

- engagement members 38a-38h of spiraling assembly 30 engagement members 38a, 38c, 38e and 38g, hereinafter referred to as the four driving engagement members, are directly connected to pneumatic drive pistons 48a-48d, respectively.
- the drive pistons which are designed to impart a linear component of motion to the associated engagement members.
- the linear component of motion imparted directly to engagement members 38a, 38c, 38e, and 38g is indirectly imparted to engagement members 38b, 38d, 38f and 38h, hence they are hereinafter referred to as the four driven engagement members.
- each of the engagement members are mounted for pivotal movement about respective vertical axes, the linear motion imparted to the engagement members by the pneumatic pistons during a spiraling operation is translated into rotational or angular motion (see generally, Fig. 7).
- hydraulic pistons 48a-48d are respectively mounted on the vertical struts 36a-36 of undercarriage 32 and are pivotably connected to lateral flanges 50a-50d which project from the central body portions of the driving engagement members 38a, 38c, 38e and 38g, respectively.
