  • Publication number: 20210138374
    Abstract: A functional component of a fluid filter is provided with at least one component connection element of a mechanical connection device, wherein the at least one component connection element can be connected releasably to at least one corresponding housing connection element of the mechanical connection device by a rotation/push-in movement about a virtual axis. The at least one corresponding housing connection element is provided at a filter housing of the fluid filter. The at least one component connection element has at least one securing contour that interacts with at least one joining element to secure the mechanical connection device and prevent an accidental release of the mechanical connection device, wherein the at least one joining element is connected to the filter housing after the functional component has been mounted at the filter housing.

  • Patent number: 10773193
    Abstract: A filter element is provided with a filter medium and a first end disk connected to the filter medium. A first bayonet protrusion is disposed on the first end disk and designed to engage behind a first bayonet receptacle of a filter housing of a filter. The first bayonet protrusion has a free end. The first bayonet protrusion projects at least over sections thereof in a radial direction relative to a filter element longitudinal axis of the filter element past the filter medium. The free end projects in the radial direction toward the filter element longitudinal axis. A filter with a filter housing provided with a first bayonet receptacle is provided and the filter element is arranged in the filter housing such that the first bayonet protrusion on the first end disk engages behind the first bayonet receptacle of the filter housing.

  • Patent number: 10744433
    Abstract: A filter element for a fuel filter has first and second end plates and a particle filter medium arranged between the first and second end plates. A bayonet protrusion on the first end plate is designed to engage a bayonet receptacle of the filter housing by rotation of the filter element about a filter element longitudinal axis. An internal sealing element on the second end plate is designed to separate a raw side from a water collecting chamber of the fuel filter. The filter housing has a filter housing body and a cover screwed onto the filter housing body. The filter housing has a bayonet receptacle arranged on its inner side. By rotating the filter element about a filter element longitudinal axis of the filter element, the bayonet protrusion engages the bayonet receptacle of the filter housing when the cover is unscrewed from the filter housing body.

  • Patent number: 10150068
    Abstract: A water separator element (14) for a fuel filter (10) having two water level electrodes (34, 36) for detecting backed-up water in a water collection chamber (32) of the fuel filter (10). The water level electrodes (34, 36) can be electrically contacted by means of two contact electrodes (40, 42), said contact electrodes (40, 42) being connected in an electrically conductive manner to the water level electrodes (34, 36). The disclosure further relates to a fuel filter comprising a water separator element of this type.

  • Patent number: 9763286
    Abstract: A fluid system of an internal combustion engine is provided with a heating device in a heating chamber. An electric heating element of the heating device is arranged between two holding bodies such that the heating element electrically and thermally contacts a contact section of at least one of the holding bodies. The heating chamber has an inner volume region between the holding bodies and at least one outer volume region arranged on an outer side of the holding bodies. The inner and outer volume regions allow fluid to flow through. The inner volume region has an enlarged section with a first spacing measured between the holding bodies. The holding bodies have a second spacing measured in a region of the contact section. The first spacing is greater than the second spacing at least at a circumferential side of the contact section facing the enlarged section.

  • Patent number: 9168470
    Abstract: A filter element (32) and a filter device (10). The filter element (32) can be arranged in a filter housing (16) of the filter device. The filter element (32) has an annular closed filter medium (34) connected with at least at one end face with an end member (36, 38). An annular anti-drain membrane (44) opens and closes at least one fluid opening (26) of the filter housing (16) and is arranged on the side of the at least one end member (38) that is facing away from the filter element (34). The surface of the contact section (60) of the anti-drain membrane (44) has at least one relief-like adhesion disturbance area (64) for disturbing an adhesion of the anti-drain membrane (44) to the contact section (60).
