This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No(s). 10-2019-0054387 and 10-2019-0060286, filed on May 9, 2019, and May 22, 2019 respectively, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Exemplary embodiments relate to a wet electrostatic precipitator apparatus that collects dust by an electrostatic force and removes dust attached on collection electrodes by means of washing water.
A variety of devices have been developed to remove particulate contaminants such as fine dust contained in the air. Among them, an electrostatic precipitator apparatus generates a large amount of electrons with corona discharge, in which case the generated electrons ionizes the surrounding air molecules. The air molecules ionized in the electrostatic precipitator apparatus are combined with particulates (e.g., fine dust, etc.) contained in the air so that the particulates are charged to have electrical polarity and then attached on collection electrodes by electrostatic force.
The electrostatic precipitator apparatus has a structure in which collection electrodes are electrically grounded and arranged at regular intervals and discharge electrodes, to which a high voltage is applied, are installed between the respective collection electrodes. When a high voltage is applied to each of the discharge electrodes, a corona discharge occurs between the discharge electrode and the collection electrode associated therewith. Both the collection electrode and the discharge electrode are typically made of an electrically conductive material.
Since the corona discharge occurs between the discharge electrode and the collection electrode, a lot of vibrations may occur in the discharge electrode and the collection electrode. In addition, increasing the distance between the discharge electrode and the collection electrode causes a deterioration in collection efficiency and requires that a large voltage is applied to the discharge electrode for the corona discharge. On the other hand, decreasing the distance between the discharge electrode and the collection electrode results in an improvement in collection efficiency. In this case, however, failure to securely support the discharge electrode and the collection electrode may result in a short circuit between the discharge electrode and the collection electrode.
In addition, washing water is utilized to remove foreign substances attached on the collection electrode. The immediate discharge of the spent washing water may result in waste of washing water and environmental pollution. In contrast, if the spent washing water is stored and then discharged, the washing water should be periodically discharged.
Aspects of one or more exemplary embodiments provide an electrostatic precipitator apparatus that can efficiently manage washing water.
Aspects of one or more exemplary embodiments provide an electrostatic precipitator apparatus that can prevent damage to and reduce vibration of collection electrodes and discharge electrodes by maintaining a distance therebetween.

Hereinafter, an electrostatic precipitator apparatus according to a first exemplary embodiment will be described.
Referring to
The electrostatic precipitator apparatus 1000 may include a housing 1200, collection modules 100, a washing water feeder 1300, and a washing water treatment device 1400. The housing 1200 is of a substantially rectangular box shape that has an internal space. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the housing may be one of various shapes, such as a cylinder and a hexagonal column.
The housing 1200 may have an inlet duct 1210 formed on one side thereof and an outlet duct 1220 formed on the other side thereof opposite to the inlet duct 1210. The inlet duct 1210 is provided with an inlet 1211 for introduction of air or combustion gas, and the outlet duct 1220 is provided with an outlet 1221 for discharge of air or combustion gas.
Referring to
The washing water treatment device 1400 accommodates washing water dropped from the collection modules 100 and solidifies dust contained in the washing water. The washing water treatment device 1400 may include the reservoir 1410 configured to store washing water, an adsorption belt 1420 installed at the upper portion of the reservoir 1410, rollers 1430 configured to move the adsorption belt 1420, and a scraper 1450 configured to separate the dust attached on the adsorption belt 1420. Here, the washing water may be water or an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution.
When the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is used as the washing water, the washing capability of the washing water treatment device can be improved.
The reservoir 1410 is disposed on the bottom of the housing 1200 and stores the washing water supplied through the washing water feeder 1300 therein. The reservoir 1410 may be connected to a washing water replenishment line 1460 for replenishment of washing water, and the washing water replenishment line 1460 may have a valve 1462 installed therein.
The adsorption belt 1420 may be in a mesh form, and be made of porous metal or resin. When the adsorption belt 1420 is in the mesh form, the dust contained in the washing water may be attached on the adsorption belt 1420 and the washing water may flow into the reservoir through the adsorption belt 1420.
The adsorption belt 1420 is in an endless-track form that its longitudinal ends are connected to each other. The lower portion of the adsorption belt 1420 is submerged in the washing water and the upper portion of the adsorption belt 1420 is positioned above the washing water for exposure out of the washing water. That is, in the annular adsorption belt 1420 that is flat in longitudinal section, its lower vertical center may be submerged in the washing water and its upper vertical center may be positioned above the washing water. The adsorption belt 1420 has a flat upper surface positioned above the washing water, a flat lower surface submerged in the washing water, and curved side surfaces connecting the upper surface and the lower surface.
During the operation of the adsorption belt 1420, the lower portion of the adsorption belt 1420 adsorbs the dust in the washing water and the upper portion thereof adsorbs the dust contained in the dropping washing water.
The two rollers 1430 support both longitudinal ends of the adsorption belt 1420. A motor for rotating the rollers 1430 is connected to the rollers 1430 to move the adsorption belt 1420. The rollers 1430 may be intermittently operated only when washing water is supplied.
The scraper 1450 abuts on the lower portion of the adsorption belt 1420 to scrape off the dust attached on the adsorption belt 1420 to separate the dust from the adsorption belt 1420. The scraper 1450 may include a support rod 1451 and a tip 1452 fixed on the support rod 1451. The support rod 1451 is installed vertically and fixedly on the bottom of the reservoir 1410. The tip 1452 may be inclined relative to the support rod 1451 while protruding upward, and be made of an elastic material. The mass of dust separated by the scraper 1450 is solidified and accumulated on the bottom of the reservoir 1410 so that relatively clean washing water is present at the upper portion of the reservoir 1410. Such upper washing water may be supplied to the washing water feeder 1300 for use for further washing.
Thus, according to the first exemplary embodiment, the washing water stored in the reservoir 1410 can be used for a predetermined period without being discharged. In addition, when the washing water needs to be replaced, a worker can remove the mass of dust from the bottom of the reservoir 1410 and replace the washing water.
As described above, according to the first exemplary embodiment, since the mass of dust sinks to the bottom of the reservoir 1410, it may be possible to purify the washing water and thus increase the service life of the washing water.

Each of the discharge electrodes 12 has a flat plate shape and has a plurality of openings 122. The openings 122 may each be of a square shape, and the discharge electrode 12 has a plurality of discharge pins formed at the edges thereof. The discharge pins may each be in a needle form and may be spaced apart from each other along the outer end and openings 122 of the discharge electrode 12.
The discharge electrode 12 includes a first reinforcement rod 121 installed at the lower portion thereof, and the first reinforcement rod 121 is coupled to the first setting beams 14 to support the discharge electrode 12. The first reinforcement rod 121 is longer than the width of the discharge electrode 12 so as to protrude from both side ends of the discharge electrode 12. In addition, the discharge electrode 12 may have a plurality of first holes 123 through which the second tie rods 17 pass.
The discharge electrode 12 has cut grooves 125 formed on both lower portions thereof for installation of the first setting beams 14. The first reinforcement rod 121 together with the upper ends of the cut grooves 125 are inserted into and fixed by the first setting beams 14.
Each of the collection electrodes 13 is formed of a flat plate and has a plurality of second holes 133 through which the first tie rods 16 pass. The collection electrode 13 includes a second reinforcement rod 131 disposed at the upper portion thereof to support the collection electrode 13. The second reinforcement rod 131 is longer than the width of the collection electrode 13 so as to protrude from both side ends of the collection electrode 13.
The plurality of discharge electrodes 12 and collection electrodes 13 are arranged in parallel to each other, and the discharge electrodes 12 are equally disposed between the respective collection electrodes 13. A gap G1 between each of the collection electrodes 13 and the discharge electrode 12 adjacent thereto may be 50 to 70 mm.
The collection electrode 13 has avoidance grooves 135 formed on both side ends of the lower portion thereof, and the first setting beams 14 are installed to pass through portions where the avoidance grooves 135 are formed. The upper ends of the avoidance grooves 135 may be formed above the associated first reinforcement rod to prevent the short circuit of the collection electrode 13 to the discharge electrode 12.
When a high voltage is applied to the discharge electrode 12, a corona discharge occurs between the discharge electrode 12 and the collection electrode 13 to generate an electrostatic force. Particulates are charged by combining them with ions (e.g., electrons) generated during the corona discharge while gas moves to the region where the electrostatic force is generated with the corona discharge, and then the charged particulates are attached on the collection electrode 13 by the electrostatic force.
Meanwhile, the collection electrode 13 may have a lower end inclined relative to the ground, and have the lowest end 138 of the inclined lower end. The lowest end 138 may be at the center of the collection electrode 13 or at one widthwise side of the collection electrode 13.
The lower end 134 of the collection electrode 13 is inclined downward toward the widthwise center thereof from both side ends thereof while being inclined relative to the ground. Thus, the central portion of the collection electrode 13 is positioned lower than both side ends thereof so that the washing water flowing along the surface of the collection electrode 13 is collected at the lowest end 138 of the central portion of the collection electrode 13 along the lower end of the collection electrode 13.
Each of the first tie rods 16 is fitted to the plurality of discharge electrodes 12 through the associated second holes 133 formed in the collection electrodes 13, in which case the first tie rod 16 does not come into contact with the collection electrodes 13. Some of the first tie rods 16 are coupled to the upper portion of each discharge electrode 12 and the other first tie rods 16 are coupled to the lower portion of each discharge electrode 12.
The first tie rods 16 may each have threads formed on the longitudinal ends thereof. Lower ones of the first tie rods 16 are fixed to lower support beams 51 and upper ones of the first tie rods 16 are fixed to upper support beams 61.
On the other hand, each of the second tie rods 17 is fitted to the plurality of collection electrodes 13 through the associated first holes 123 formed in the discharge electrodes 12, in which case the second tie rod 17 does not come into contact with the discharge electrodes 12.
Some of the second tie rods 17 are coupled to the upper portion of each collection electrode 13 and the other second tie rods 17 are coupled to the lower portion of each collection electrode 13. The longitudinal ends of each second tie rod 17 may be fixed to the associated collection electrodes 13, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the second tie rod 17 may be fixed to other members within the housing 1200.
The first and second tie rods 16 and 17 may have spacers installed to maintain the distance between the discharge electrode 12 and the collection electrode 13. That is, the spacer installed on the first tie rod 16 may pass through an associated second hole 133 of each collection electrode 13 so that both longitudinal ends of the spacer abut on the facing surfaces of the discharge electrodes 12 adjacent to the collection electrode 13. In addition, the spacer installed on the second tie rod 17 may pass through an associated first hole 123 of each discharge electrode 12 so that both longitudinal ends of the spacer abut on the facing surfaces of the collection electrodes 13 adjacent to the discharge electrode 12.

The first setting beam 14 may include a lower beam 141 and an upper beam 142 coupled to the lower beam 141. The lower beam 141 includes a bottom 141a and two sidewalls 141b and 141c bent and protruding upward from both side ends of the bottom 141a. The upper beam 142 includes a lower support 142a abutting on the bottom 141a, an outer support 142b bent from the lower support 142a and abutting on an outer one 141c of the sidewalls, an inclined support 142c bent obliquely upward from the outer support 142b, an upper support 142d bent from the inclined support 142c and disposed in parallel to the bottom 141a, and an inner support 142e bent and extending downward from the upper support 142d. The moisture remaining on the first setting beam 14 may be easily discharged to outside through the inclined support 142c.
The lower slots 143 are formed on the sidewalls 141b and 141c and are not formed on the bottom 141a. In addition, the lower slots 143 are also formed on the upper beam 142, namely, on the lower support 142a and the outer support 142b. Individual ones of the lower slots 143 formed on the lower beam 141 are connected to associated ones of the lower slots 143 formed on the upper beam 142. Each of the first reinforcement rod 121 protrudes through the associated lower slots 143 formed on the sidewalls 141b and 141c and the associated lower slot 143 formed on the outer support 142b.
When the upper beam 142 and the lower beam 141 are coupled to each other, the first setting beam 14 has a tubular shape that is cut off at its one side. When the first setting beam 14 is separated into the upper beam 142 and the lower beam 141 as described above, the discharge electrode 12 may be easily welded to the lower beam 141. That is, when, after the discharge electrode 12 is welded to the lower beam 141, the upper beam 142 is coupled to the lower beam 141 and the discharge electrode 12 is welded to the upper beam 142, the discharge electrode 12 may be stably fixed to the first setting beam 14 while the first setting beam 14 is formed in a tubular shape.
The first reinforcement rod 121 may be made of the same material as the first setting beam 14 and may be thicker than the discharge electrode 12. Thus, the first reinforcement rod 121 may be easily welded to the first setting beam 14. The discharge electrode 12 should have a small thickness and an excellent electrical conductivity, but it may be difficult to weld the discharge electrode high in conductivity and thin in thickness. However, according to the first exemplary embodiment, the discharge electrode 12 can be easily welded to the first setting beam 14 since the discharge electrode 12 includes the first reinforcement rod 121.
Each of the second setting beams 15 extends in the stacking direction of the collection electrodes 13, and has a plurality of upper slots 156 into which the side ends of the respective collection electrodes 13 are inserted. The upper slots 156 may be spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the second setting beam 15, and the second setting beam 15 may be positioned above the first setting beam 14. Meanwhile, as illustrated in
The second reinforcement rod 131 is fixed to the upper end of each collection electrode 13, and is inserted into the second setting beam 15. The second reinforcement rod 131 is installed to pass through the second setting beam 15, and the lower end of the second reinforcement rod 131 is supported by the second setting beam 15.
The second setting beam 15 includes a lower plate 151, a side plate 152 bent and extending upward from the lower plate 151, an upper plate 153 bent from the side plate 152 to face the lower plate 151, and a support plate 154 disposed beneath the lower plate 151. The second reinforcement rod 131 is partially inserted into the lower plate 151 and the side plate 152, and the lower end of the second reinforcement rod 131 abuts on the upper surface of the support plate 154. The second reinforcement rod 131 may be fixed to the second setting beam 15 by welding.
As described above, in the collection module 100 according to the first exemplary embodiment, the first and second tie rods 16 and 17, the first and second setting beams 14 and 15, and the central setting beam 18 may stably fix the discharge and collection electrodes 12 and 13 while maintaining the distance therebetween.

A power supply is connected to the insulating connection member 40 to apply a high voltage thereto, and the high-voltage terminal rod 42 is insulated and fixed to the tubular girder 48 through the lower insulator 41. The high-voltage terminal rod 42 may pass through the center of the lower insulator 41, and a power supply line may be connected to the upper end of the high-voltage terminal rod 42.

The washing water treatment device 2400 may include a reservoir 2410 configured to store washing water, the adsorption belt 2420 installed at the upper portion of the reservoir 2410, a plurality of rollers configured to move the adsorption belt 2420, and a scraper 2450 configured to separate the dust attached on the adsorption belt 2420. Here, the washing water may be water or an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. When the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is used as the washing water, the washing capability of the washing water treatment device can be improved.
The reservoir 2410 is disposed on the bottom of the housing 2200 and stores the washing water supplied through a washing water feeder 2300 therein. The adsorption belt 2420 may be in a mesh form. That is, the adsorption belt 2420 may be formed of a metal or synthetic resin mesh as a net structure that warps and wefts are entangled. In addition, a plurality of fine protrusions for adsorption of dust may be formed on a wire forming the adsorption belt 2420. Here, the fine protrusions refer to protrusions having a diameter smaller than 0.1 mm. On the other hand, the adsorption belt 2420 may be formed of a porous metal or resin plate. When the adsorption belt 2420 is in the mesh form, the dust contained in the washing water may be attached on the adsorption belt 2420 and the washing water may flow into the reservoir through the adsorption belt 2420.
The adsorption belt 2420 is in an endless-track form that its longitudinal ends are connected to each other. The lower portion of the adsorption belt 2420 is submerged in the washing water and the upper portion of the adsorption belt 2420 is positioned above the washing water for exposure out of the washing water.
The rollers are installed to the adsorption belt 2420 to support and move the adsorption belt 2420. The rollers include two support rollers 2431 and 2432 positioned at both longitudinal ends of the adsorption belt, and two first diversion rollers 2433 and 2435, which support the adsorption belt 2420 to be bent vertically, and two second diversion rollers 2434 and 2436 which are disposed adjacent to the first diversion rollers 2433 and 2435 and support the adsorption belt 2420 to be bent laterally. The support rollers 2431 and 2432 abut on the inward surface of the adsorption belt 2420, the first diversion rollers 2433 and 2435 abut on the upper surface of the adsorption belt 2420, and the second diversion rollers 2434 and 2436 abut on the lower surface of the adsorption belt 2420.
The support roller 2431 is positioned inside the reservoir and the other support roller 2432 is positioned outside the housing 2200. Thus, a portion of the adsorption belt 2420 may protrude outward from the housing 2200. The adsorption belt 2420 protrudes outward through the opening 2250 from the housing 2200. The scraper 2450 may be installed on the outer wall of the housing 2200 and may extend in the width direction of the adsorption belt 2420. The scraper 2450 abuts on the lower surface of the adsorption belt 2420 to scrape off the dust attached on the adsorption belt 2420 to separate the dust from the adsorption belt 2420. A dust separation container 2460 is installed beneath the scraper 2450 to accommodate the mass of dust separated from the adsorption belt 2420.
As described above, according to the second exemplary embodiment, it may be possible to more cleanly manage the washing water since the scraper 2450 is disposed on the outside of the housing 2200 to separate the dust attached on the adsorption belt 2420 from the reservoir 2410 for accommodation of the dust.
Hereinafter, an electrostatic precipitator apparatus according to a third exemplary embodiment will be described.

Thus, gas may be introduced from both sides of the housing 3200 and the purified gas may be discharged upward.
Meanwhile, a blocking member 3500 is installed between the collection module 300 and the washing water treatment device 3400. The blocking member 3500 may be rotatably installed in the housing, and include a plurality of blocking plates 3520 and rotary columns 3510 connected to the widthwise centers of the respective blocking plates 3520. An actuator may be installed to the rotary columns 3510 to rotate the rotary columns 3510 so that the blocking member 3500 may rotate about the rotary columns 3510.
When the blocking plates 3510 are disposed horizontally to the ground, the side ends of the blocking plates 3520 are in contact with each other so that the space where the collection module 300 is placed is separated from the space where the washing water treatment device 3400 is placed. On the other hand, the blocking plates 3520 may be erected perpendicularly to the ground during washing, thereby enabling washing water to easily move from the collection module 300 to the washing water treatment device 3400.
As described above, according to the third exemplary embodiment, by virtue of the inflow of gas from both sidewalls of the housing 3200, it may be possible to quickly purify a larger amount of gas. In addition, by virtue of the installation of the blocking member 3500, it may be possible to easily discharge gas to the outlet duct 3230.

Referring to
The discharge electrode 12 includes the first reinforcement rod 530 installed at the lower portion thereof, and the first reinforcement rod 530 is coupled to the first setting beams 14 to support the discharge electrode 12. The first reinforcement rod 530 is longer than the width of the discharge electrode 12 so as to protrude from both side ends of the discharge electrode 12. The first reinforcement rod 530 may be bonded to the first setting beam 14 through a first welding portion 551.
The first reinforcement rod 530 has a support protrusion 531 protruding upward. The support protrusion 531 may pass through the upper end of the first setting beam 14 and may be bonded to the first setting beam 14 by welding. Thus, the support protrusion 531 is bonded to the first setting beam 14 through a second welding portion 552.
The first setting beam 14 extends in the stacking direction of the discharge electrodes 12, and has a plurality of lower slots 143 into which the side ends of the respective discharge electrodes 12 are inserted.

As described above, according to the fifth exemplary embodiment, since the support protrusion 531 is formed on the first reinforcement rod 530 and the first reinforcement rod 530 is fixed by the first setting beam 14 and the first and second welding portions 551 and 552, the discharge electrode 12 can be fixed more stably.
Hereinafter, an electrostatic precipitator apparatus according to a sixth exemplary embodiment will be described.
Referring to
Each of the electrostatic precipitator apparatus 6000 may include a housing 6200, a collection module 6100, a washing water feeder 6300, a washing water treatment device 6400, a purge air feeder 6600, a controller 6800, and guide vanes 6230.
The housing 6200 may be formed of a rectangular box having an internal space. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the housing may have various shapes such as an elliptic cylinder or a cylinder. The housing 6200 may have first and second openings 6210 and 6220 formed on the respective opposite sides thereof, and the first and second openings 6210 and 6220 may be formed on the surfaces of the housing 6200 facing the rails 6720. Meanwhile, an advertisement board may be installed on the upper side or side of the housing 6200.
The guide vanes 6230 are installed in each of the first and second openings 6210 and 6220 to guide the inflow and outflow of air, and each guide vane 6230 is formed of a plate extending in the width direction of the housing 6200. The guide vanes 6230 are vertically spaced apart from each other in each of the first and second openings 6210 and 6220. The guide vanes 6230 may be rotatably installed in the housing 6200, and a motor or an actuator may be connected to the guide vanes 6230 to rotate the guide vanes 6230. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the guide vanes 6230 may be fixed so as not to rotate.
The controller 6800 may be connected to the guide vanes 6230 to control the rotation of the guide vanes 6230, and may cause the guide vanes 6230 to rotate as the train 6730 enters. For example, when the train 6730 approaches toward the first opening 6210, the controller 6800 may, based on the direction of movement of the train 6730, control the outer ends of the guide vanes 6230, installed in the first opening 6210, to face rearward while controlling the outer ends of the guide vanes 6230, installed in the second opening 6220, to face forward. In this case, the guide vanes 6230 installed in the first opening 6210 and the guide vanes 6230 installed in the second opening 6220 may be in parallel to each other. Accordingly, air may be guided by the guide vanes 6230 with the pressure generated when the train 6730 approaches, so that the air may be introduced into the first opening 6210 and then discharged through the second opening 6220.
On the other hand, when the train 6730 moves away from the first opening 6210, the controller 6800 may, based on the direction of movement of the train 6730, control the outer ends of the guide vanes 6230, installed in the first opening 6210, to face forward while controlling the outer ends of the guide vanes 6230, installed in the second opening 6220, to face rearward. In this case, the guide vanes 6230 installed in the first opening 6210 and the guide vanes 6230 installed in the second opening 6220 may be in parallel to each other. Accordingly, air may be guided by the guide vanes 6230 with the sound pressure generated when the train 6730 moves away from the first opening 6210, so that the air may be introduced into the second opening 6220 and then discharged through the first opening 6210.
Meanwhile, when the train 6730 approaches toward the second opening 6220, the controller 6800 may control the outer ends of the guide vanes 6230, installed in the second opening 6220, to face rearward based on the direction of movement of the train 6730. On the other hand, when the train 6730 moves away from the second opening 6220, the controller 6800 may control the outer ends of the guide vanes 6230, installed in the second opening 6220, to face forward based on the direction of movement of the train 6730. In this case, the guide vanes 6230 installed in the first opening 6210 and the guide vanes 6230 installed in the second opening 6220 may be controlled to be in parallel to each other.
As described above, the electrostatic precipitator apparatus 6000 according to the sixth exemplary embodiment enables the easy inflow and outflow of air with no separate blower by means of the pressure that changes according to the movement of the train, thereby reducing driving power.
The washing water feeder 6300 includes a washing water supply line 6310, a washing water pump 6320, and a spray line 6340. The washing water supply line 6310 is a pipe, which is inserted into a reservoir 6410 disposed on the bottom of the housing 6200 and extends from the reservoir 6410 to the top of the housing 6200. The washing water pump 6320 is connected to the washing water supply line 6310 to move washing water. The spray line 6340 is installed above the collection module 6100 to spray washing water toward the collection module 6100. The spray line 6340 may be provided with a nozzle and may extend in the stacking direction of discharge and collection electrodes 6012 and 6013. The washing water feeder 6300 may operate intermittently, for example, for a few minutes every few hours. When washing water is supplied, no voltage is applied to the discharge electrodes 6012.
The purge air feeder 6600 may include an air pump 6610 and an air supply pipe 6620. The air supply pipe 6620 may be connected to a tubular girder 6048 and prestress locking members 6070 to supply purge air to the tubular girder 6048 and the prestress locking members 6070.
The washing water feeder 6300 sprays washing water to the collection module 6100 to remove the dust attached on the collection electrodes 6013. The washing water feeder 6300 operates when no voltage is applied to the collection module 6100.
Referring to
The reservoir 6410 is disposed on the bottom of the housing 6200 and stores the washing water supplied through the washing water feeder 6300 therein. The reservoir 6410 may be connected to a washing water replenishment line for replenishment of washing water, and the washing water replenishment line may have a valve installed therein.
The adsorption belt 6420 may be in a mesh form, and be made of porous metal or synthetic resin. When the adsorption belt 6420 is in the mesh form, the dust contained in the washing water may be attached on the adsorption belt 6420 and the washing water may flow into the reservoir 6410 through the adsorption belt 6420.
That is, the adsorption belt 6420 may be formed of a metal or synthetic resin mesh as a net structure that warps and wefts are entangled. In addition, a plurality of fine protrusions for adsorption of dust may be formed on a wire forming the adsorption belt 6420. Here, the fine protrusions refer to protrusions having a diameter smaller than 0.1 mm. On the other hand, the adsorption belt 6420 may be formed of a porous metal or synthetic resin plate. When the adsorption belt 6420 is in the mesh form, the dust contained in the washing water may be attached on the adsorption belt 6420 and the washing water may flow into the reservoir 6410 through the adsorption belt 6420.
The adsorption belt 6420 is in an endless-track form that its longitudinal ends are connected to each other. The lower portion of the adsorption belt 6420 is submerged in the washing water and the upper portion of the adsorption belt 6420 is positioned above the washing water for exposure out of the washing water. During the operation of the adsorption belt 6420, the lower portion of the adsorption belt 6420 adsorbs the dust in the washing water and the upper portion thereof adsorbs the dust contained in the dropping washing water. The dust may be adsorbed onto the exposed portion of the adsorption belt 6420 and move to the scraper 6450.
The rollers are installed to the adsorption belt 6420 to support and move the adsorption belt 6420. The rollers include two support rollers 6431 and 6432 positioned at both longitudinal ends of the adsorption belt, and first and second diversion rollers 6433 and 6434 disposed between the support rollers 6431 and 6432 to support the lower portion of the adsorption belt 6420 to be bent vertically. The support rollers 6431 and 6432 abut on the inward surface of the adsorption belt 6420, the first diversion roller 6433 abuts on the outer surface of the adsorption belt 6420, and the second diversion roller 6434 abuts on the outward surface of the adsorption belt 6420.
The first diversion roller 6433 supports the lower end of the adsorption belt 6420 to move upward so that the lower end of the adsorption belt 6420 is inclined relative to the ground. The vertical distance between the upper and lower portions of the adsorption belts 6420 decreases from one support roller 6432 to the first diversion roller 6433. The second diversion roller 6434 is disposed between the first diversion roller 6433 and the support roller 6431 to support the lower end of the adsorption belt 6420 to be inclined upward.
The second diversion roller 6434 allows the lower end of the adsorption belt 6420 to be positioned beneath the upper end of a blocking wall 6415. That is, the first diversion roller 6433 supports the adsorption belt 6420 to move above the upper end of the blocking wall 6415, thereby preventing the adsorption belt 6420 from interfering with the blocking wall 6415. The second diversion roller 6434 allows the lower end of the adsorption belt 6420 to be positioned beneath the blocking wall 6415, thereby preventing a mass of dust from crossing the blocking wall 6415. The scraper 6450 abuts on the adsorption belt 6420 between the second diversion roller 6434 and the support roller 6431.
The blocking wall 6415 is installed in the reservoir 6410 and separates the space, in which the scraper 6450 is present, from a remaining space. The blocking wall 6415 may be positioned between the first diversion roller 6433 and the second diversion roller 6434, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the blocking wall 6415 may be disposed adjacent to the scraper 6450. The first diversion roller 6433 may be positioned above the blocking wall 6415.
The scraper 6450 is installed in the reservoir and abuts on the lower portion of the adsorption belt 6420 to scrape off the dust attached on the adsorption belt 6420 to separate the dust from the adsorption belt 6420. The scraper 6450 includes a rotary rod 6451 and a plurality of paddles 6452 protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the rotary rod 6451. The paddles 6452 may be plates extending in the longitudinal direction of the rotary rod 6451 and be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the rotary rod 6451. The paddles 6452 may each be made of an elastic material and abut on the adsorption belt 6420 to scrape off dust. A motor may be connected to the rotary rod 6451 to rotate the rotary rod 6451.
The mass of dust separated by the scraper 6450 is solidified and accumulated on the bottom of the reservoir 6410 so that relatively clean washing water is present at the upper portion of the reservoir 6410. Since the mass of dust is placed in the space separated by the blocking wall 6415, the washing water in the remaining space can be purified.
Meanwhile, the separation container 6460 may be installed beneath the scraper 6450 to accommodate a mass of dust. The separation container 6460 may be positioned in the space separated by the blocking wall 6415, and be of a triangular longitudinal section. Thus, the mass of dust in the separation container 6460 cannot be easily separated from the separation container, and a worker can easily manage the washing water by periodically replacing the separation container.
According to the sixth exemplary embodiment, the washing water stored in the reservoir 6410 can be used for a predetermined period without being discharged. In addition, when the washing water needs to be replaced, the worker can remove the mass of dust from the bottom of the reservoir 6410 and replace the washing water.

Each of the discharge electrodes 6012 is of a flat plate shape and has a plurality of openings 6122. The discharge electrode 6012 may be formed of a rectangular plate whose height is larger than its width. The openings 6122 may each be of a square shape, and the discharge electrode 6012 has a plurality of discharge pins formed at the edges thereof. The discharge pins may each be in a needle form and may be spaced apart from each other along the outer end and the openings 6122 of the discharge electrode 6012.
The discharge electrode 6012 includes a plurality of reinforcement protrusions 6125 protruding from the side ends thereof, and the reinforcement protrusions 6125 are formed on both side ends of upper and lower portions of the discharge electrode, respectively.

The reinforcement rods 6131 may be longer than the width of the collection electrode 6013 to protrude from both side ends of the collection electrode 6013.
The plurality of discharge electrodes 6012 and collection electrodes 6013 are arranged in parallel to each other, and the discharge electrodes 6012 are equally disposed between the respective collection electrodes 6013. The collection electrode 6013 has avoidance grooves 6135 formed on both side ends of upper and lower portions thereof, and the first setting beams 6014 are installed to pass through portions where the avoidance grooves 6135 are formed. The upper end of each of the avoidance grooves 6135 may be formed above the associated reinforcement plate of the discharge electrode to prevent the short circuit of the collection electrode 6013 to the discharge electrode 6012.
When a high voltage is applied to the discharge electrode 6012, a corona discharge occurs between the discharge electrode 6012 and the collection electrode 6013 to generate an electrostatic force. Particulates are charged by combining them with ions (e.g., electrons) generated during the corona discharge while air and droplets move to the region where the electrostatic force is generated with the corona discharge, and then the charged particulates are attached on the collection electrode 6013 by the electrostatic force. Thus, the dust and fine droplets are attached on the collection electrode 6013 and removed from the exhaust air.
Each of the first tie rods 6016 is fitted to the plurality of discharge electrodes 6012 through the associated second holes 6133 formed in the collection electrodes 6013, in which case the first tie rod 6016 does not come into contact with the collection electrodes 6013.
The first tie rod 6016 may have threads formed on the longitudinal ends thereof, and the ends of the first tie rod 6016 may be fixed to discharge electrode support beams 6060. As illustrated in
Meanwhile, each of the second tie rods 6017 is fitted to the plurality of collection electrodes 6013 through the associated first holes 6123 formed in the discharge electrodes 6012, in which case the second tie rod 6017 does not come into contact with the discharge electrodes 6012.

The first and second tie rods 6016 and 6017 may have spacers installed to maintain the distance between the discharge electrode 6012 and the collection electrode 6013. That is, the spacer installed on the first tie rod 6016 may pass through an associated second hole 6133 of each collection electrode 6013 so that both longitudinal ends of the spacer abut on the facing surfaces of the discharge electrodes 6012 adjacent to the collection electrode 6013. In addition, the spacer installed on the second tie rod 6017 may pass through an associated first hole 6123 of each discharge electrode 6012 so that both longitudinal ends of the spacer abut on the facing surfaces of the collection electrodes 6013 adjacent to the discharge electrode 6012. The first and second tie rods 6016 and 6017 are each made of a nonconductor.

The first setting beam 6014 includes a bottom plate 6141 formed in parallel to the ground, a lower sidewall 6142 extending upward from the bottom plate 6141, an intermediate support 6143 extending laterally from the lower sidewall 6142, a bent plate 6144 bent from the intermediate support 6143 to face the intermediate support 6143, an upper sidewall 6145 extending upward from the bent plate 6144, and an upper support jaw 6146 bent toward the discharge electrodes 6012 from the upper sidewall 6145. The slots 6148 are formed in the upper support jaw 6146, and the lower ends of the reinforcement plates 6126 are mounted on the intermediate support 6143. The bent plate 6144 has a smaller width than the intermediate support 6143, and the intermediate support 6143 has a portion facing the bent plate 6144 and a portion facing the upper support jaw 6146.
The upper sidewall 6145 is formed in parallel to the lower sidewall 6142 and disposed at a distance from the lower sidewall 6142. Meanwhile, one portion of the side end of each reinforcement protrusion 6125 further protrudes from the other portion thereof, and the upper and lower sidewalls 6145 and 6142 may be coupled to abut on the respective portions of the side end of the reinforcement protrusion 6125.
Each reinforcement plate 6126 may be made of the same material as the first setting beam 6014 and may be thicker than the discharge electrode 6012. Thus, the reinforcement plate 6126 may be easily welded to the first setting beam 6014. The discharge electrode 6012 should have a small thickness and an excellent electrical conductivity, but it may be difficult to weld the discharge electrode high in conductivity and thin in thickness. However, according to the sixth exemplary embodiment, the reinforcement plate installed on the discharge electrode 6012 enables the discharge electrode 6012 to be easily welded to the first setting beam 6014.

The mounting frames 6035 are inserted between the bottom plate 6141 and the intermediate support 6143 and coupled to the first setting beam 6014. The mounting frames 6035 of the lower frame 6030 may be two. Meanwhile, the lower frame 6030 is charged to a high voltage, and the first setting beam 6014 and the discharge electrode 6012 are also charged to a high voltage through the lower frame 6030. Here, the charging voltage of the discharge electrode 6012 may be 25,000 to 75,000 V.
The uppermost one of the lower frames 6030 is provided with the insulating connection members 6040 and charged to a high voltage. The lower frame 6030 disposed beneath the uppermost lower frame 6030 may be charged through the connection rods 6036. Each of the insulating connection members 6040 includes a terminal rod 6042 configured to apply a high voltage to the discharge electrode 6012, and a lower insulator 6041 for insulation. The insulating connection member 6040 may have a hole formed in the lower portion thereof for downward injection of air, and the terminal rod 6042 is fixed to the lower frame 6030 by protruding downward through the hole. An anchor (not illustrated) is installed to the terminal rod 6042 to support the lower frame 6030.
Thus, a high voltage is applied to the discharge electrode 6012 through the lower frame 6030 and the first setting beam 6014. In addition, the lower frame 6030 is suspended from the insulating connection member 6040.
The insulating connection members 6040 are inserted into the tubular girder 6048 having an internal space, and the tubular girder 6048 extends in the same direction as the lower frame 6030. The tubular girder 6048 may be fixed to the inner wall of the housing 6200, and the air supply pipe 6620 may be installed on the tubular girder 6048. The tubular girder 6048 may have a discharge hole 6044 formed in the lower portion thereof for discharge of purge air.
The tubular girder 6048 has a mount 6046 installed therein to support the lower insulator 6041, and the lower insulator 6041 is placed on the mount 6046. A power supply is connected to the insulating connection member 6040 to apply a high voltage thereto, and the terminal rod 6042 is insulated and fixed to the tubular girder 6048 through the lower insulator 6041. The terminal rod 6042 may pass through the center of the lower insulator 6041, and a power supply line may be connected to the upper end of the terminal rod 6042. Thus, the terminal rod 6042 may be charged to a high voltage and the tubular girder 6048 may be grounded.
Referring to
The casing 6073 is cylindrical and has an internal space, and a bracket 6076 is installed to one side of the casing 6073 to fix the casing 6073 to the housing 6200. The casing 6073 may be provided with an air inlet 6731 and the air supply pipe 6620 may be connected to the air inlet 6731. The purge air introduced into the casing 6073 prevents a short circuit due to moisture while the purge air is discharged downward.
The insulator 6075 may include an upper insulator 6075a fixed to the upper portion of the casing 6073, a lower insulator 6075b fixed to the lower portion of the casing 6073, and an insulating tube 6075c connecting the upper insulator 6075a and the lower insulator 6075b. The pressure rod 6071 is fixed to the insulator 6075 and protrudes downward of the prestress locking member 6070.
The pressure rod 6071 is coupled to an associated one of the collection electrode support beams 6080, and the prestress locking member 6070 is installed to press the collection electrode support beam 6080 in a central direction. The collection electrode support beams 6080 are disposed at the respective outermost sides of the stacked collection electrodes 6013 and extend in the width direction of the collection electrodes 6013. The plurality of collection electrode support beams 6080 coupled to the second tie rods 6017 may be installed on the side ends of the collection module 6100, and the above two prestress locking members 6070 may be coupled to two of the collection electrode support beams 6080.
Each of the collection electrode support beams 6080 includes an upper support plate 6081, a side support plate 6082 bent and extending downward from the upper support plate 6081, and a lower support plate 6083 bent from the side support plate 6082 to be disposed in parallel to the upper support plate 6081. The second tie rods 6017 may be coupled to the side support plate 6082. The lower support plate 6083 has a smaller width than the upper support plate 6081.
When the collection electrode support beam 6080 is installed in the state in which it is pressed by the prestress locking member 6070, it is possible to effectively reduce the vibration of the collection module 6100.
As is apparent from the above description, according to the exemplary embodiments, since the washing water treatment device includes the belt, the roller, and the scraper, the service life of the washing water can be increased by adsorbing dust on the belt and sinking solidified dust to the bottom of the reservoir.
While the specific embodiments have been described with reference to the drawings, the disclosure is not limited thereto. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure as defined in the following claims.
