  • a plurality of turbulence-generating outer blades 130 b is provided on the lower surface of a rotor structure 110 b such that the angle thereof is adjustable or not easily adjustable, and the rotor structure 110 b is configured as a hollow disc member, with the upper and lower surfaces being oriented perpendicular to the intake direction.
  • each turbulence-generating outer blade 130 b provided on the lower surface of the rotor structure 110 b can be assembled to the lower surface of the rotor structure 110 b such that the angle of the turbulence-generating outer blade 130 b can be adjusted via an angle-adjusting member 135 .
  • the angle-adjusting member 135 can include an erected member 135 a , which is fitted into a coupling hole 135 b of a turbulence-generating outer blade 130 b , and a fixing member 135 c , which is fastened into a fastening hole in one end of the erected member 135 a and is closely fixed to the turbulence-generating outer blade 130 b.

  • a plurality of the turbulence-generating outer blades 130 , 130 b which is provided on the outer or lower surface of the rotor structure 110 , 110 b , is rotated in the same direction.
  • the rotation of the turbulence-generating outer blades 130 , 130 a , 130 b following the rotation of the rotor structure generates a turbulent flow in the form of a doughnut by pushing the air, which is directly below and around the exhaust pipe 101 , outward in the radial direction of the rotor structure.
  • the turbulent flow which is forcibly formed by the turbulence-generating outer blades, acts as an air curtain that separates an area, in which pollutants are produced, from an area, in which the pollutants are not produced.
  • the intake-exhaust inner blades 150 , 150 a mounted on the inner surface or the rotary shaft 112 of the rotor structure 110 are driven to rotate in the same direction as that of the turbulence-generating outer blades, thereby generating an intake-exhaust force having a certain strength inside the rotor structure 110 arranged on the leading end of the intake port of the exhaust pipe 101 or inside the exhaust pipe 101 according to the position on which the intake-exhaust inner blades are installed
  • the pollutants-containing air which occurs in a pollutant source area, can be concentrically and forcibly taken in and exhausted to the outside through the exhaust pipe.
  • the angle of the turbulence-generating outer blades 130 , 130 b which are assembled to the outer surface or the lower surface of the rotor structure, is adjusted with respect to the intake direction P of the air by the angle-adjusting member 135 , so that the flow rate of a turbulent flow, which is formed by the turbulence-generating outer blades, can be adjusted.
  • the size of the intake area formed in the lower area of the intake port can be suitably varied.
  • each turbulence-generating outer blade is rotated at a certain angle in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction about the erected member 135 a fitted into the coupling hole 135 b , which penetrates the central portion of the body of the turbulence-generating outer blade.
  • the turbulence-generating outer blade which is adjusted at a preset angle, is securely fixed in position by the fixing member 135 c , which is fastened into the fastening hole formed in one end of the erected member 135 a .
  • the same operation of adjusting the angle is applied to all the turbulence-generating outer blades, which are provided on the outer surface of the rotor structure.
  • each coupling hole 135 b which penetrates the central portion of the body of each turbulence-generating outer blade, is completely separated from the erected member 135 a , the turbulence-generating outer blade is rotated at a certain angle in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
  • the coupling grooves 135 e formed in the inner surface of the couple hole 135 b and the ribs 135 d formed on the outer surface of the erected member 135 a are coupled with each other.
  • the turbulence-generating outer blade 130 which is adjusted at a preset angle, is securely fixed in position by the fixing member 135 c , which is fastened into the fastening hole formed in one end of the erected member 135 a.
  • a fitting recess partially formed in the lower end portion of the coupling hole 135 b penetrating the central portion of the body of each turbulence-generating outer blade, is arranged on the circular cross-section portion of the erected member 135 a such that the fitting recess is temporarily separated from the ribs, and in this state, the outer blade 130 is rotated at a certain angle in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
  • the outer blade and the erected member are assembled together so that the coupling grooves 135 e formed in the lower end of the inner surface of the coupling hole 135 b and the ribs 135 d formed on the lower end of the outer surface of the erected member 135 a are coupled in a corresponding fashion.
  • the turbulence-generating outer blade which is adjusted at a preset angle, is securely fixed in position by the fixing member 135 c , which is fastened into the fastening hole formed in one end of the erected member 135 a.
  • the turbulence-generating outer blades are forcibly rotated in the state where the turbulence-generating outer blades are fixedly mounted or finally adjusted to be inclined at a preset angle with respect to the intake direction P of the air as described above, it is possible to expand the position, in which a turbulent flow is generated, in the outward direction while more securely pushing the air, which comes into contact with the outer blades, in the outward direction. Thereby, it is possible to increase the intake area, in which the air including pollutants can be forcibly taken in, in order to exhaust the air including pollutants.
