Abstract
A filtration system comprising a plurality of filters, in particular oil or fuel filters, a first operating element movable from a default position to a least one isolating position for isolating at one filter of a first group of filters from the filtration system and a second operating element movable from a default position to a least one isolating position for isolating at least one filter of a second group of filters from the filtration system. The filtration system comprises a mechanical blocking mechanism that is actuated by a movement of the first operating element out of its default position to block the second operating element in its default position and actuated by a movement of the second operating element out of its default position to block the first operating element in its default position.
Claims20
A filtration system comprising:
- a plurality of filters, the plurality of filters comprising a first group of filters and a second group of filters, the first group of filters comprising at least two filters and the second group of filters comprising at least two further filters;
- a first operating element movable from a default position to a least one isolating position for isolating at least one filter of the first group of filters from the filtration system;
- a second operating element movable from a default position to at least one isolating position for isolating at least one filter of the second group of filters from the filtration system;
- and
- a mechanical blocking mechanism that is actuated by a movement of the first operating element out of its default position to block the second operating element in its default position and actuated by a movement of the second operating element out of its default position to block the first operating element in its default position,
- wherein, in the default position of the first operating element, all the filters of the first group of filters are connected to the filtration system,
- wherein, in the default position of the first operating element, all the filters of the first group of filters are connected to the filtration system, and, in the default position of the second operating element, all the filters of the second group of filters are connected to the filtration system, and
- wherein the first operating element and the second operating elements are each configured to selectively isolate at least one first filter out of the respective group of filters from the filtration system in a first isolating position and at least one second filter out of the respective group of filters in a second isolating position.
A filtration system comprising a plurality of filters, a first operating element movable from a default position to a least one isolating position for isolating at least one filter of a first group of filters from the filtration system and a second operating element movable from a default position to at least one isolating position for isolating at least one filter of a second group of filters from the filtration system, comprising:
- a mechanical blocking mechanism that is actuated by a movement of the first operating element out of its default position to block the second operating element in its default position and actuated by a movement of the second operating element out of its default position to block the first operating element in its default position,
- wherein the mechanical blocking mechanism comprises a first blocking element operated by the first operating element to block the second operating element and a second blocking element operated by the second operating element to block the first operating element, and
- wherein the blocking elements are slidably arranged on the filtration system to be moved from a default position to a blocking position.
