The regulator 57 has a function of adjusting the water supply pressure, the flow meter 58 has a function of measuring the water supply amount, and the control circuit unit 29 monitors the value of the flow meter 58 while monitoring the first spray nozzle 45 and the first spray water. The regulator 57 is controlled so that the spray pressure from the two spray nozzles 46 becomes an appropriate value. Note that the regulator 57 and the flow meter 58 are not necessarily provided when the water pressure of the tap water supply source 47 is stable or when adjustment of the water pressure is unnecessary.

  The first branch water supply pipe 53 and the second branch water supply pipe 54 pass through the upper half portion 18b of the casing 18 and the outer periphery of the casing 18 above the support disk 37, as well shown in FIG. It is disposed along the wall inner surface and is connected to the first spray nozzle 45 and the second spray nozzle 46 via the branch joint 60 and the flexible hose 61.

  Referring to FIG. 1 again, the exhaust part 17 is configured by providing an exhaust muffler 63 inside a bottomed cylindrical exhaust cover 62. The exhaust cover 62 includes a disc-shaped base plate 64 and a cylindrical outer peripheral wall 65 erected on the outer peripheral edge of the base plate 64, and an exhaust inlet (see FIG. (Not shown) is formed.

  The exhaust muffler 63 is configured by a wire net-like substantially cylindrical body in which an exhaust port 59 is formed in the central portion, and is provided with a large number of small-diameter openings formed of punching metal or the like. As a result, the flow of exhaust can be dispersed and rectified, and the wind noise caused by the airflow during exhaust passes along with the airflow at the small-diameter opening, but is reflected outside the small-diameter opening. The cancellation effect is generated and a sound reduction effect can be achieved. Note that the aperture ratio of the small-diameter opening may be as low as about 50%, and a material having a large plate thickness is preferably used.

  The suction port 19 is located between the inner cylinder 24 having a central axis in the vertical direction coaxial with the output shaft 11 of the electric motor 12 and the lower half portion 18a of the casing 18, that is, at an offset position not intersecting with the vertical central axis. So that dust-containing air can be sucked into the cyclone portion 30. An oil drain port 66 is formed in the lower part of the lower half portion 18 a of the casing 18, and a part of the oil drain port 66 is lower than the upper surface of the bottom plate 25 of the casing 18.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a connection pipe 68 that guides dust-containing air from a mist generation source 67 such as a processing machine in a factory is connected to the suction port 19, and the connection pipe 68 is a pipe or a duct or the like. It is formed by. The oil mist in the dust-containing air generated from the mist generating source 67 includes not only the oil mist itself, but also a fixed component mainly composed of dust containing the oil mist, and fine abrasive powder and cutting powder to which the oil mist adheres. Dust components mainly containing dust are included.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the control circuit unit 29 includes a CPU 70 for controlling the electric motor 12, the electromagnetic valves 51 and 55, the regulator 57, and the like, a rotation direction detection unit 22, and a rotation. A number detector 23, a flow meter 58, and a storage unit 72 for storing detected values from the differential pressure gauge 71 and the like are provided.

  The rotation direction detection means 22 detects the rotation direction of the electric motor 12 or the rotating disk 14 in order to determine the spraying time of the cleaning liquid by the second spray nozzle 46. For example, the rotation direction detection means 22 detects by a sensor, Detecting by the back electromotive force of the electric motor 12 or using the electric motor 12 having a function of outputting the rotation direction is included. Further, the rotational speed detection means 23 includes a device that detects the rotational speed of the electric motor 12 or the rotating disk 12 by a sensor such as an encoder. Further, the differential pressure gauge 71 is for detecting the differential pressure between the upstream side and the downstream side in the air flow direction of the mesh 36 and outputting the clogged state of the mesh 36.

  The control circuit unit 29 includes setting input means 73 for inputting data such as the type, length L and inner diameter D (see FIG. 5) of the connecting pipe 68 and the cleaning time and stop time of the spray cleaner 16. , A display means 74 for displaying data input to the setting input means 73, an operation switch 75 for starting or stopping the oil mist removing device 10, and an external connected to the control device 76 of the mist generating source 67. And a communication unit 77.

  In the oil mist removing apparatus 10 having the above-described configuration, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 1, the oil mist guided from the suction port 19 to the inside of the casing 18 by the suction action accompanying the rotation of the suction fan 13. The dust-containing air containing swirls by the centrifugal action in the cyclone portion 30, and cutting powder having a relatively large particle diameter in the dust-containing air is aggregated along the inner surface of the lower half portion 18 a of the casing 18 to form the bottom plate 25. And is discharged to the outside through the oil discharge port 66.

  Thereafter, the dust-containing air in the cyclone section 30 rises while swirling between the casing 18 and the inner cylinder 24, is rectified by the rectifying plate 28, and then collides with the mesh 36 of the rotating disk 14 from below.

  Thereby, the oil mist in the dust-containing air is collected by the mesh 36 and blown off to the outer periphery, and the oil mist bounced off falls to the bottom plate 25 and is discharged to the outside through the oil discharge port 66.

  The air that has passed through the mesh 36 and has been cleaned by removing the oil mist is uniformly rectified in the rectification unit 15 and guided to the suction fan 13, and is rectified and diffused in the exhaust muffler 63 to reduce noise. Then, the air is discharged from the exhaust port 59 to the outside.

  Next, the cleaning operation of the mesh 36 by the spray cleaner 16 of the oil mist removing apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to the time chart of FIG.

  When the operation of the oil mist removing device 10 is started by pressing the operation switch 75 of the control circuit unit 29 or the like, the rotating disk 14 is moved in the forward direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 2) as the electric motor 12 is driven. Rotate to. At this time, the spray cleaner 16 is stopped, and no cleaning liquid is ejected from the first spray nozzle 45 and the second spray nozzle 46.

  Then, when the operation of the oil mist removing apparatus 10 is stopped by, for example, pressing the operation switch 75 of the control circuit unit 29 again, the rotating disk 14 is stopped as the electric motor 12 is stopped. When a predetermined time elapses after the rotating disk 14 is stopped, the solenoid valves 51 and 55 are controlled to be opened and closed by a command from the control circuit unit 29, and the main water supply pipe 52 and the first branch water supply are supplied from the tap water supply source 47. Water is supplied to the first spray nozzle 45 through the pipe 53, and water as a cleaning liquid is sprayed from the first spray nozzle 45 to the mesh 36. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3A, the first spray nozzle 45 injects the cleaning liquid onto the mesh 36 in a state where the first spray nozzle 45 is inclined at a predetermined angle θ1 toward one side in the circumferential direction with respect to the vertical direction. A rotational moment in the direction opposite to the rotational direction when the electric motor 12 is driven acts on the plate 14, and the rotating disc 14 rotates in the reverse direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 2).

  In this way, when a predetermined time elapses after the cleaning liquid starts to be sprayed from the first spray nozzle 45, the solenoid valve 51 is controlled to be opened and closed by a command from the control circuit unit 29, and the tap water supply source 47. Then, water is supplied to the second spray nozzle 46 through the main water supply pipe 52 and the second branch water supply pipe 54. Thereby, the spray of the cleaning liquid from the first spray nozzle 45 to the mesh 36 is stopped, and the spray of the cleaning liquid from the second spray nozzle 46 to the mesh 36 is started. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3B, the second spray nozzle 46 injects the cleaning liquid onto the mesh 36 in a state where the second spray nozzle 46 is inclined at a predetermined angle θ2 to the other circumferential side with respect to the vertical direction. When a rotational moment in the same direction as the rotational direction when the electric motor 12 is driven acts on the plate 14, the rotational speed of the rotating disk 14 in the reverse direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 2) gradually decreases. Stop before long. In this case, in order to further improve the cleaning effect of the mesh 36, the regulator 57 is set so that the spray pressure of the second spray nozzle 46 is larger than the spray pressure of the first spray nozzle 45, and the rotating disk 14 It is preferable that the inertia when the rotation in the reverse direction is stopped is increased.

  When the rotation of the rotating disk 14 in the reverse direction is stopped as described above, the solenoid valves 51 and 55 are controlled to be opened and closed by a command from the control circuit unit 29, and the mesh 36 from the first spray nozzle 45 and the second spray nozzle 46 is controlled. The spraying of the cleaning liquid on is stopped, and the first cleaning cycle by the spray cleaner 16 is completed.

  When a predetermined time has elapsed after the end of the first cleaning cycle, a second cleaning cycle is performed in the same manner as the first cleaning cycle in response to a command from the control circuit unit 29, and this cleaning cycle is repeated three times in total. A series of cleaning operations of the mesh 36 by the spray cleaner 16 is completed.

  In the series of cleaning operations of the mesh 36 by the spray cleaner 16 described above, the cleaning cycle is repeated three times. The maximum number of times this cleaning cycle is repeated depends on the properties of the oil mist (oil or water solubility) and the cleaning liquid. Default pressure data such as injection pressure and injection time, input data relating to the connecting pipe 68 (type, length L, inner diameter D, etc.), and differential pressure measurement value of the mesh 36 immediately before cleaning measured by the differential pressure gauge 71 Based on the degree of clogging of the mesh 36 determined by the control circuit unit 29, the control circuit unit 29 determines how many times the rotating disk 14 rotates reversely and the splash of cleaning liquid generated by the reverse rotation of the rotating disk 14 reaches the mist generating source 67. Is determined by computing.

  For example, when the differential pressure of the mesh 36 just before cleaning is 500 Pa, the type of the connecting pipe 68 is a flexible hose made of PVC, and the length L (see FIG. 5) of the connecting pipe 68 is 5 m, the calculation of the control circuit unit 29 is performed. Accordingly, it is determined that the spray of the cleaning liquid does not reach the mist generation source 67 until the reverse rotation number of the rotating disk 14 is 8 to 10 rotations. In this case, for example, the rotating disk 14 rotates in reverse four times in the first cleaning cycle, reversely rotates three times in the second cleaning cycle, and reversely rotates twice in the third cleaning cycle. When the rotation number detecting means 23 detects that the reverse rotation number of the rotating disk 14 in the total of three cleaning cycles is nine, the control circuit unit 29 is ready when the third cleaning cycle is completed. Then, a series of cleaning operations of the mesh 36 by the spray cleaner 16 is terminated.

  In this way, the control circuit unit 29 controls the reverse rotation speed of the rotating disk 14 so that the cleaning liquid splash reach F (see FIG. 5) is shorter than the length L (see FIG. 5) of the connecting pipe 68. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the spray of the cleaning liquid from reaching the mist generation source 67.

  Further, according to the oil mist removing apparatus 10 according to the above-described embodiment, the spray cleaner 16 sprays the cleaning liquid from one direction inclined with respect to the mesh 36 and the first spray nozzle 45 that sprays the cleaning liquid from the other direction. Since the second spray nozzle 46 is provided, a portion of the mesh 36 does not become a blind spot during cleaning, and the mesh 36 can be cleaned to every corner. Therefore, it is possible to reliably remove the adhering component and dust component adhering to the mesh 36, and it is possible to stably and reliably collect and separate and remove the oil mist. Further, when the mesh 36 is cleaned, the rotating disk 14 can be rotated by spraying the cleaning liquid, and motor power is not required, so that the economy can be improved.

  Moreover, since the oil mist removal apparatus 10 which concerns on above-described embodiment is provided with the rotation direction detection means 22 which detects the rotation direction of the electric motor 12 or the rotation disc 14, the electric motor 12 or the rotation disc 14 is provided. At the time of stopping, the cleaning operation by the second spray nozzle 46 can be stopped accurately. Accordingly, since the rotating disk 14 does not rotate in the forward direction when the mesh 36 is cleaned by the spray cleaner 16, splashes of cleaning liquid mixed with dirt are scattered from the exhaust port 59 to the outside of the oil mist removing apparatus 10. Can be prevented.

  In the above-described series of cleaning operation examples of the mesh 36 by the spray cleaner 16 of the oil mist removing apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the spraying time of the cleaning liquid by the first spray nozzle 45 is set in advance. However, the control circuit unit 29 may be variably controlled according to the differential pressure measurement value of the mesh 36 immediately before the cleaning operation by the differential pressure gauge 71.

  In addition, the second cleaning cycle is set to start after a lapse of a predetermined time after the end of the first cleaning cycle, but the second cleaning cycle is started immediately after the end of the first cleaning cycle. In addition, each cleaning cycle may be performed continuously.

  Furthermore, for example, when a separate exhaust connection pipe is connected to the exhaust port 59, there is no problem even if splashes of the cleaning liquid generated during the forward rotation of the rotating disk 14 scatter from the exhaust port 59 to the outside of the oil mist removing device 10. In this case, as shown in the time chart of FIG. 8, the second spray nozzle 46 after the rotating disk 14 rotating in the reverse direction by the cleaning operation of the first spray nozzle 45 starts to rotate in the forward direction. It is also possible to control so that the cleaning operation is continuously performed. In this case, the dirt adhering to the mesh 36 can be more effectively removed.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment of the present invention, tap water is used as the cleaning liquid. However, the cleaning liquid may be tap water, hot water containing detergent, water, steam, alkaline electrolyzed water, or the like.

  The technology of the present invention can be used in an oil mist removing apparatus that collects oil mist from a dust-containing airflow (oil smoke) containing oil mist generated from a processing machine or the like in a factory and separates and removes the oil mist.
