Description

  The present invention relates to a dust collector that sucks a gas containing dust generated from a dust generation source and collects the dust.

  Welding fumes generated when welding metals are harmful, including metal dust. Since dust has a very fine particle size, it is necessary to collect the dust with a dust collector before entering the human body. However, when the high-temperature welding fume contains sparks, if it is sucked by the dust collector, dust accumulated in the dust collector or dust filter may be ignited and may cause a fire.

  In a conventional dust collector, dust is collected by controlling the airflow of the sucked welding fume. Patent Document 1 discloses a dust collection device including a screen tank including a first screen tank and a second screen tank. Here, dust is sucked into a first screen tank provided with a cyclone and sent to a second screen tank provided with a demister material.

JP 2004-358442 A

  The dust collection device described in Patent Document 1 can collect dust in each of the first screen tank and the second screen tank, and has a take-out unit for collecting dust at the bottom of the screen tank. However, in the structure of the first screen tank that swirls the airflow, if too much air is introduced and the fumes containing sparks are sucked in, the sparks will not be extinguished sufficiently, and the filter or dust May ignite and ignite. Moreover, although the dust can be collected at the take-out portion provided at the bottom of each screen tank, there is also dust remaining in the tank. For this reason, there is a risk of catching dust that cannot be collected.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dust collector that can surely extinguish even when a gas containing dust is sucked.

  In order to achieve the above object, the dust collector of the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the present invention is a dust collector comprising a separation unit that sucks and separates dust, and a collection unit that communicates with the separation unit and collects the dust, wherein the separation unit removes dust. An intake port that sucks in the contained gas, a plurality of collision plates that have a collision surface and are arranged in the separation unit, and a place where the separation unit and the collection unit communicate with each other. And the plurality of collision plates are arranged so that the gas flows from the intake port to the first filter while the gas collides with the collision plate. It is arrange | positioned between. According to this configuration, the gas containing dust hits the collision plate, the kinetic energy is appropriately lost due to the collision, the gas inflow amount is limited, and the spark in the gas is extinguished as the gas flows, There is no risk of catching fire without igniting the filter or dust. Further, even if the gas inflow amount is moderately limited, the suction amount of the gas including dust from the intake port can be maintained and the suction amount can be maintained.

  Moreover, in this invention, the said collection part exhausts the gas which the gas which passed the said 1st filter passes, and the 2nd filter by which the said dust is collected, and the gas which passed the said 2nd filter It preferably has an exhaust port. According to this, dust passes through the second filter, dust is collected by the second filter, and clean gas is exhausted from the exhaust port.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the separation portion has an openable / closable door, and the collision plate can be removed in a state where the door is opened. According to this, it is a structure which is easy to clean by opening the door before the dust collection is accumulated and it becomes easy to ignite and removing the collision plate from the dust collector.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the plurality of collision plates are arranged such that the flow path of the sucked gas has a zigzag shape. According to this, the gas sucked into the collision plate collides in the process of zigzag flow, the fire energy is lost due to the collision and the fire is extinguished, and the kinetic energy is lost and the gas inflow amount is appropriately limited. Is done. Moreover, the gas containing sparks does not reach the filter directly by colliding with the collision plate, and the filter can be prevented from being ignited or damaged. Moreover, since the flow path is formed long in a zigzag shape in the space in the separation part, the separation part can be miniaturized and the entire dust collector can be miniaturized.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the collision surfaces of the plurality of collision plates are inclined with respect to a horizontal plane. According to this, after the gas containing dust collides with the collision surface of the inclined collision plate, the dust falls below the separation part, and it is easy to collect and clean the dust.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to the dust collector of this invention, the dust collector which can be extinguished reliably even if the gas containing dust is attracted | sucked can be provided.

It is a front view which shows an example of the dust collector which concerns on this embodiment, and its inside. It is a side view which shows an example of the dust collector which concerns on this embodiment, and its inside. It is a top view which shows an example of the dust collector which concerns on this embodiment, and its inside.

  Hereinafter, the dust collector 10 according to this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing the dust collector 10 according to this embodiment and the inside thereof, FIG. 2 is a side view showing the dust collector 10 according to this embodiment and the inside thereof, and FIG. 3 is a dust collector according to this embodiment. The top view which shows the apparatus 10 and its inside is shown, and an inside is shown with a dotted line. The left and right directions on the paper surface of FIGS. 1 and 2 are described as a first direction, and the up and down direction is described as a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

  The dust collector 10 of this embodiment is connected to the separation unit 12 that separates dust by sucking a gas containing dust, and captures the remaining dust from the gas separated by the separation unit 12. And a collecting unit 14 to be collected. Separation part 12 has a suction port 16 for sucking a gas containing dust, a plurality of collision plates 18 arranged in separation part 12 having collision surface 18A, and a communication point between separation part 12 and collection part 14. And a first filter 20 through which the sucked gas passes. In the dust collector 10 of this embodiment, the gas flows from the intake port 16 to the first filter 20 while the gas collides with the collision plate 18. A gas flow path from the intake port 16 to the first filter 20 is formed by the collision plate 18, and a plurality of collision plates 18 are disposed between the intake port 16 and the first filter 20.

  The collection unit 14 has a second filter 22 through which the gas that has passed through the first filter 20 passes and dust is collected, and an exhaust port 24 through which the gas that has passed through the second filter 22 is exhausted. doing. As will be described later, the collection unit 14 is provided with a motor 34 and a fan 36, and a gas containing dust is sucked from the intake port 16 to the separation unit 12 and travels to the first filter.

  The separation unit 12 and the collection unit 14 are both covered with a box-shaped case, the collision plate 18 and the first filter 20 are inside the case of the separation unit 12, and the second is inside the case of the collection unit 14. There is a filter 22. The separation unit 12 and the collection unit 14 are separated and covered with different cases. Furthermore, the case of the separation part 12 and the collection part 14 consists of a flame-retardant material. The dust collector 10 may be provided with casters 26 with stoppers at the lower four corners, so that the dust collector 10 can be easily moved and fixed.

  A member such as a foldable bellows-like hose may be attached to the air inlet 16, and its tip is opened in a trumpet shape so that the tip is brought close to a spark generated during welding, and metal dust generated during welding work is generated. Gases including sparks and sparks, so-called welding fume can be sucked. However, sparks generated by the grinder for grinding increase the possibility of fire, so metal powder and sparks generated during grinding cannot be sucked. The shape of the intake port 16 is not particularly limited, and may be a circular shape shown in FIG. 3 according to the cross-sectional shape of a member such as a hose, or other shapes.

  The intake port 16 is provided in the upper part of the separation part 12. The first filter 20 is provided at the lower part of the separation unit 12. This is to allow the gas containing dust to flow downward from above, and in the process where the gas containing dust flows from above to below, the dust falls along the gas flow in the separation unit 12. This is to facilitate recovery. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable that the air inlet 16 is provided in the upper part of the separation part 12, and the opening of the air inlet 16 faces upward. When a member such as a bellows-like hose is attached to the intake port 16, if the opening is upward, the root of the hose near the intake port 16 does not bend into a “V” shape like a valley fold, You won't bend down. In addition, since the hose does not bend downward, dust that does not collect in the deflected portion does not accumulate, and can be reliably extinguished even if a gas containing dust is sucked. On the other hand, when the opening of the intake port 16 is in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction), the hose is easily bent due to its own weight, and dust is likely to accumulate in the bent portion.

  The gas introduced into the separation unit 12 preferably travels to the first filter 20 after colliding with the collision surface 18A of the collision plate 18. By providing the plurality of collision plates 18, fire energy is lost while gas collides with each collision plate 18, so that it is easy to extinguish the fire. As shown in FIG. 2, the intake port 16 is provided on the upper portion (upper surface) of the separation portion 12 so as to be in contact with the collision surface 18 </ b> A of the collision plate 18 when the introduced gas is directed downward. The collision plate 18 is disposed in the separation part 12. In addition, this is a position that linearly connects the inlet 16 to the first filter 20 so that the introduced gas does not flow directly to the first filter 20 and blocks the flow path when the gas flows linearly. A collision plate 18 is arranged on the front side. The gas that has collided with the collision plate 18 flows along the collision surface 18 </ b> A and travels toward the next collision plate 18. In this way, if the introduced gas hits the collision surface 18A of the collision plate 18 and the gas containing dust flows downward from above, the intake port 16 is not only the upper part of the separation part 12 but also the upper part of the side surface. May be provided sideways. However, when a member such as a foldable bellows-like hose is attached to the intake port 16, it is necessary to prevent dust from accumulating in the hose. The collision surface 18A refers to the entire surface where the gas collides, the entire surface along which the gas flows, and the surface at that position.

  The number of the collision plates 18 is not particularly limited. However, if the number of the collision plates 18 is three as shown in FIGS. The suction volume can be maintained. When the number is four or more, the space between the collision plates 18 in the vertical direction is narrowed and the gas flow path is narrowed because they are arranged in a limited space in the separation unit 12. For this reason, since it is necessary to enlarge an apparatus in order to maintain attraction | suction force, size reduction of an apparatus becomes difficult. If the number is two or less, the number of fire energy losses due to gas collision or flow along the collision surface 18A is reduced, and there is a possibility that the fire cannot be reliably extinguished.

  A gas flow path from the intake port 16 to the first filter 20 is formed by a plurality of collision plates 18, and the plurality of collision plates 18 are dotted lines in which the flow paths of the sucked gas are in the separation portion 12 of FIG. As shown by the arrows surrounded by, they are arranged in the separating portion 12 so as to form a zigzag shape. The collision plates 18 are zigzag-arranged (staggered arrangement) so as to be staggered from the side surfaces facing each other, so that the gas flows along the collision surface 18A and the gas flow path becomes zigzag-shaped. In the dust collector 10 of this embodiment, the gas flow path is zigzag when viewed from the side, but the gas flow path may be zigzag when viewed from the front.

  The collision plate 18 is disposed in contact with the side surface inside the separation portion 12 and is disposed with a space between the other side surface facing each other. The gas containing the dust flows toward the next collision plate 18 after passing through the space. The arrangement of the plurality of collision plates 18 in the separation unit 12 is such that the downstream end portion of the collision surface 18A is above the upstream end portion of the collision surface 18A in the collision plate 18 that collides next. By doing so, the gas flow path from the intake port 16 to the first filter 20 becomes zigzag, and the gas contacts not only a part of the collision surface 18A but also the whole. This is because the distance of the flow path becomes longer in the separation portion 12 because it is in contact with the entire collision surface 18A, so that the apparatus can be reduced in size and can be extinguished reliably.

  The separation unit 12 has an openable / closable door 28, and the collision plate 18 can be removed while the open / close door 28 is opened. An opening / closing door 28 is provided on the side surface of the separation portion 12, and the opening / closing door 28 is fastened by a fastener 30. When the fastener 30 is removed, the open / close door 28 can be opened, and the collision plate 18 in the separation part 12 can be removed. At this time, a frame body serving as a guide is provided on the side surface in the separation portion 12, and the collision plate 18 can be slid toward the opening / closing door 28 by accommodating the collision plate 18 in the frame body. Good. If the collision plate 18 is housed in the slide frame and the open / close door 28 is closed, the gas can be taken into the dust collector 10. On the other hand, when dust is collected and the apparatus is cleaned, the opening and closing door 28 is opened and the collision plate 18 can be slid and removed, so that cleaning is very easy. Furthermore, the dust accumulated on the bottom of the separation unit 12 can be easily collected by opening the door 28. If the dust is collected and the inside of the dust collector 10 is cleaned before the dust collector 10 is operated, the dust is converted into dust. There is no danger of igniting, and the sparks can be digested. The opening / closing door 28 may be one that can be opened / closed in a sliding manner as well as the fastener 30 as long as the separation part 12 can be opened / closed.

  Further, the collision surfaces 18A of the plurality of collision plates 18 are inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. The gas flows along the collision surface 18A, and the collision surface 18A is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, so that the gas easily flows obliquely downward. And the gas containing dust loses the energy of fire by hitting the collision surface 18A and extinguishes the fire, and the dust flows downward together with the flowing gas and is easily deposited on the bottom of the separation unit 12.

  The shape of the collision plate 18 may be matched to the shape inside the separation portion 12, and if the collision surface 18 </ b> A is square and the whole is plate-shaped, the removal is easy. The collision plate 18 only needs to have at least the collision surface 18A made of a metal material. However, if the collision plate 18 is entirely made of metal, for example, the stainless collision plate 18, the gas is easily extinguished. .

  Moreover, it is preferable that the 1st filter 20 provided in the communication location of the separation part 12 and the collection part 14 is a filter which consists of a net-like metal. Stainless steel is preferable as the metal, and the gas is surely extinguished and gas is sent to the collection unit 14, and the second filter 22 in the collection unit 14 is free from sparks and there is no risk of ignition. The first filter 20 can separate and collect relatively coarse metal powder.

  The collection unit 14 includes a second filter 22, and the second filter 22 can collect dust that has passed through the first filter 20 and could not be separated. The gas that has passed through the second filter 22 is exhausted from the exhaust port 24. The shape of the second filter 22 is not particularly limited as long as the second filter 22 is provided in the middle of the flow path to the exhaust port 24, and may be cylindrical or plate-shaped. The second filter 22 has air permeability, is made of a fine flame-retardant material, and can reliably collect dust by pleating the cloth. The second filter 22 may be made of a material that can adsorb oil even if the dust contains oil or the like.

  A motor 34 and a fan 36 are provided in the collection unit 14 so that a gas containing dust is sucked from the intake port 16. The motor 34 and the fan 36 are disposed at a position where the gas that has passed through the second filter 22 is sucked and sent out of the dust collector 10. A fan 36 is connected to the motor 34. When an operation switch in the operation unit 32 is turned on and the motor 34 is driven to rotate the fan 36, a suction force is generated in the dust collecting device 10 and the gas is collected. Inhaled into device 10. In the example of the dust collector 10 of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the second filter 22 is a pleated filter formed in a cylindrical shape, and a motor 34 is installed therein. The fan 36 is outside the second filter 22, and a partition plate 38 having a hole is provided between the second filter 22 and the fan 36. Since the position of the hole is a position where the gas that has passed through the second filter 22 can pass, the gas before passing through the second filter 22 does not flow toward the fan 36. The clean gas in which dust is collected through the second filter 22 passes through the fan 36, and the clean gas sent from the fan 36 flows toward the exhaust port 24 and is exhausted.

  By providing a fastener on the upper surface of the collection part 14, a part of the box-shaped case can be removed as a top plate and opened. When the top plate is removed and the filter holder 40 is removed when the top plate is opened, the second filter 22 can be removed and easily replaced.
