Abstract

A separate filter bed cylindrical filter may include a cylindrical filer bed configured to remove foreign materials included in air, a filter bed holder punched with a plurality of holes to be introduced with air passing through the cylindrical filter bed and inserted with the cylindrical filter bed, and an upper fixing plate provided at a first end part of both end parts of the filter bed holder and contacting a first end part of both end parts of the cylindrical filter bed inserted into the filter bed holder, and a lower fixing plate coupled with a connecting end provided at a second end part of both end parts of the filter bed holder to contact a second end part of both end parts of the cylindrical filter bed and be separated from the connecting end to separate the cylindrical filter bed from the filter bed holder.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A separate filter bed cylindrical filter, comprising:
a cylindrical filer bed configured to remove foreign materials included in air; a filter bed holder punched with a plurality of holes to be introduced with air passing through the cylindrical filter bed and inserted with the cylindrical filter bed; an upper fixing plate provided at a first end part of both end parts of the filter bed holder and contacting a first end part of both end parts of the cylindrical filter bed inserted into the filter bed holder; and a lower fixing plate coupled with a connecting end provided at a second end part of both end parts of the filter bed holder to contact a second end part of both end parts of the cylindrical filter bed and be separated from the connecting end to separate the cylindrical filter bed from the filter bed holder.

2 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 1 , wherein a coupling and separating structure of the connecting end and the lower fixing plate is a screw fastening scheme.

3 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 2 , wherein a structure of the screw fastening scheme comprises a male thread formed on an outer peripheral surface of the connecting end and a female thread formed on the lower fixing plate.

4 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 3 , wherein a formation portion of the female thread is an inner peripheral surface of a connecting groove formed on the lower fixing plate to insert an end portion of the connecting end.

5 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 1 , wherein a coupling and separating structure of the connecting end and the lower fixing plate is a locking fitting scheme, and
the structure of the locking fitting scheme comprises a plurality of protruding surfaces formed at a circumference of the connecting end at a predetermined interval and a plurality of stepped surfaces formed on the lower fixing plate.

6 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 5 , wherein a formation portion of stepped surfaces is a circumference of a connecting boss formed on the lower fixing plate to be inserted into the connecting end.

7 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 1 , wherein a coupling and separating structure of the connecting end and the lower fixing plate is a screw fitting scheme, and
a structure of the screw fitting scheme comprises a female thread formed on an inner peripheral surface of the connecting end and a male thread formed on the lower fixing plate.

8 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 7 , wherein a formation portion of the male thread is an outer peripheral surface of a connecting boss formed on the lower fixing plate to be inserted into the connecting end.

9 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 1 , wherein both end surfaces of an upper part and a lower part of the cylindrical filter bed are each attached with upper cylindrical paper and lower cylindrical paper to keep a shape of the cylindrical filter bed, the upper cylindrical paper secures sealing at a contact surface between the cylindrical filter bed and the upper fixing plate, and the lower cylindrical paper secures sealing at a contact surface between the cylindrical filter bed and the lower fixing plate.

10 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 1 , wherein the upper fixing plate and the lower fixing plate are made of a plastic material.

11 . The separate filter bed cylindrical filter of claim 1 , wherein the connecting end is integrally formed with the filter bed holder.

12 . A cylindrical air cleaner by a separate filter bed cylindrical filter, comprising:
a separate filter bed cylindrical filter including a filter main body into which a cylindrical filter bed removing foreign materials included in air is inserted and a lower fixing plate which is coupled with a connecting end of the filter main body to fix the cylindrical filter bed and is detached from and attached to the connecting end by at least one of a screw fastening scheme, a locking fitting scheme, and a screw fitting scheme to remove the cylindrical filter bed; a case to have the separate filter bed cylindrical filter received therein; an inlet port provided in the case to introduce external air into the case; and an outlet port provided in the case to discharge purified air from the separate filter bed cylindrical filter.

13 . The cylindrical air cleaner of claim 12 , wherein the inlet port introduces the external air from an intake line connected to an engine and the outlet port discharges purified air to the intake line.
