1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a dust collector, particularly to one with a function of secondary collection.
2. Description of the Prior Art
As shown in
However, as the filtering bag 6 and the dust bag 7 are not separated by any isolating devices installed between them, dust or waste powder supposed to drop in the dust bag 7 may flow to and attach on the filtering bag 6 to clog air holes thereon. So, the filtration bag 6 must be often replaced to maintain smooth filtration, causing an increase of cost and an inconvenient use.
The objective of this invention is to offer a dust collector with a function of secondary collection.
The main characteristics of the invention are a bottom base, an air-guiding box, a blower, a guiding device, a filtering bag and a dust bag. The air-guiding box is installed above the bottom base, having an empty interior and bored with a suction hole and a dust-collecting hole at its upper and bottom surface respectively. The blower is fitted in one of the suction holes. The guiding device is installed inside the air-guiding box, having its upper side fixed with the upper dust-collecting hole of the air-guiding box and sealed with the filtering bag. The dust bag is fixed with the lower dust-collecting hole of the air-guiding box. Therefore, dust can be drawn in the other suction hole by the blower to enter the air-guiding box. By means of the guiding device installed between the filtering bag and the dust bag, it can primarily prevent the dust from directly entering the upper dust collecting hole of the air guiding box, but enforcing larger particles to drop down to the dust bag directly and drawing lighter ones to flow through the guiding device to the filtering bag for being filtered. So, a secondary filtration is done to prolong a service life of the filtering bag, with a reduction of cost.
This invention is better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
As shown in
The bottom base 10 is provided with an isolating board 11 located at its intermediate portion to symbolically divide the bottom base 10 into a right and a left side, and an outer shell 12 formed around the left side. The outer shell 12 is provided with an opening 121 bored in its one side for connecting with a suction tube 13.
The air-guiding box 20 is installed above the isolating board 11 and the outer shell 12 of the bottom base 10, symbolically divided into a right and a left side, and provided with an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22. The upper shell 21 is provided with a suction hole 211 bored at its left side, a dust collecting hole 212 bored at its right side, and an annular projection 213 extended upward around the dust collecting hole 212. The lower shell 22 is provided with a suction hole 221 and a dust-collecting hole 222 respectively corresponding to the suction hole 211 and the dust collecting hole 212 of the upper shell 21. And, a connecting tube 14 is installed to link the suction hole 221 and the opening 121.
The blower 30 is composed of a motor 31 and plural blades 32. The motor 31 is fixed on the top of the suction hole 211, provided with a shaft 311 extended into the air guiding box 20 with the blades 32 set around it.
The guiding device 40 is installed inside the air guiding box 20 with its upper side positioned around the dust collecting hole 212, provided with a hood 41 and a positioning portion 42 formed as an annular frame above the hood 41. The hood 41 is shaped as a funnel tapered gradually downward. The guiding device 40 has its upper and its lower end respectively fitted in the dust collecting holes 212 and 222, keeping the air guiding box 20 divided into two spaces. As the diameter of the dust collecting hole 222 is larger than that of the lower end of the guiding device 40, there is an annular gap remained between them. The positioning portion 42 is provided with an annular groove 421 formed around it, and two annular projections 422 and 423 respectively formed around the upper and the lower edge of the groove 421. The guiding device 40 is fixed together with the dust-collecting hole 212 by a fastening ring 70 constricted around the annular projections 423 and 213.
The filtering bag 50 is provided with an annular projection 51 extended around its opening for corresponding to the annular projection 422 of the guiding device 40. The annular projections 51 and 422 are constricted together by a fastening ring 80. And, the filtering bag 50 is made of a porous material and canvas used in this embodiment, and formed cylindrical.
The dust bag 60 is made of plastic, having its opening sealed around the dust collecting hole 222 of the air guiding box 20, and connected with the filtration bag 50 via the guiding device 40.
In assembling, the guiding device 40 is first put in the dust collecting hole 212, and next keep the annular projection 213 of the dust collecting hole 212 and the dust collecting hole 423 of the guiding device 40 constricted together by the fastening ring 70. Then, put the filtering bag 50 on the top of the guiding device 40 and keep the dust collecting hole 422 of the guiding device 40 and the annular projection 51 of the filtering bag 50 constricted together by the fastening ring 80. Finally, the dust bag 60 is fixed around the dust collecting hole 222 with its opening.
In using, when the power switch is turned on, the motor 31 is to drive the blades 32 to rotate to carry out suction inside the suction tube 13, so as to draw in dust or waste powder from the end opening of the suction tube 13 to the other side of the air-guiding box 20. By the time, being blocked outside the guiding device 40, the dust or the waste powder can just pass through the annular gap between the guiding device 40 and the dust-collecting hole 222 to the dust bag 60. Of course, some very light or tiny particles may be carried by air to flow up through the lower opening of the guiding device 40 into the filtering bag 50 for being filtrated. Therefore, a secondary collection is done.
As shown in
The invention has the following advantages as can be seen from the foresaid description.
1. With the guiding device 40 installed inside the air guiding box 20 and between the filtering bag 50 and the dust bag 60 to prevent dust from directly sucked to the filtering bag 50 above the air guiding box 20, the larger particles are to drop down to the dust bag 60 and the lighter ones are to be led by the guiding device 40 to flow up to the filtering bag 50. So, a secondary collection is done to prolong the service life of the filtration bag, posing a reduction of cost.
2. The guiding device 40 has a simple structure that it is easily assembled or disassembled, and does not increase its bulk.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
