Abstract
The filter vessel attachment/detachment apparatus includes a first conduit end, wherein a first conduit for the fluid to flow through is coupled to the first conduit end, and the first conduit end has a clamping portion capable of clamping the flange of the filter vessel; a contact surface capable of strongly contacting to the inlet or the outlet of the filter vessel; and a guide member capable of, for a direction from the first conduit toward the inlet or the outlet, rotating about a second axis separated from a first axis by a predetermined distance, the first axis being from the first conduit toward the inlet, the guide member having a holding portion capable of holding the inlet or the outlet.
Claims4
A filter vessel attachment/detachment apparatus for detachably attaching a filter vessel having a filter inside of the filter vessel, as a part of a filtration apparatus that performs filtration of fluid with the filter, wherein the filter vessel includes, at one end of the filter vessel, an inlet or an outlet for the fluid, the the inlet or the outlet projecting from the filter vessel and having a flange, the filter vessel attachment/detachment apparatus comprising:
- a first conduit end to which a first conduit is coupled, the fluid being flowable in the first conduit, wherein the first conduit end has a clamping portion capable of clamping the flange of the filter vessel;
- a contact surface capable of contacting the inlet or the outlet of the filter vessel;
- and
- a guide member having a holding portion capable of holding the inlet or the outlet, the guide member being movable between a first state and a second state in a direction from the first conduit to the inlet or the outlet by rotating about a second axis away from a first axis with a predetermined distance to the first axis being from the first conduit to the inlet or the outlet,
- wherein in the first state, the flange is not clamped by the clamping portion of the first conduit end,
- wherein in a transition from the first state to the second state, the flange gradually enters the clamping portion of the first conduit end, and
- wherein in the second state, the flange is clamped by the clamping portion of the first conduit end.
A filter vessel attachment/detachment apparatus for detachably attaching a filter vessel having a filter inside of the filter vessel, as a part of a filtration apparatus that performs filtration of fluid with the filter, wherein the filter vessel includes, at one end of the filter vessel, an inlet or an outlet for the fluid, the inlet or the outlet projecting from the filter vessel and having a flange and a guide plate, the filter vessel attachment/detachment apparatus comprising:
- a first conduit end to which a first conduit is coupled, the fluid being flowable in the first conduit, wherein the first conduit end has a clamping portion capable of clamping the flange of the filter vessel;
- a contact surface capable of contacting the inlet or the outlet of the filter vessel;
- and
- a guide plate holder for rotatably supporting the guide plate so that the guide plate is movable between a first state and a second state in a direction from the first conduit to the inlet or the outlet by rotating about a second axis away from a first axis with a predetermined distance to the first axis being from the first conduit to the inlet or the outlet,
- wherein in the first state, the flange is not clamped by the clamping portion of the first conduit end,
- wherein in a transition from the first state to the second state, the flange gradually enters the clamping portion of the first conduit end, and
- wherein in the second state, the flange is clamped by the clamping portion of the first conduit end.
