1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a negative pressure dust collector, particularly to one capable of smoothly inflating a dust receiving bag.
2. Description of the Prior Art
As disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. M329475 shown in
The object of this invention is to offer a negative pressure dust collector with a dust receiving bag smoothly inflatable.
The negative pressure dust collector mainly includes a ventilation hood and an exhaust device. The ventilation hood is provided with a motor fixed on its top, plural fan blades confined inside it for pivotally connecting with the motor, a suction tube vertically fixed under the fan blades, and a first exit formed in its bottom. A dust collection tank is positioned below the first exit, provided with a dust receiving bag put inside it. The ventilation hood is further provided with a second exit and an inlet respectively formed at two opposite sides, and a through hole bored in its wall. Connected with the second exit is a dust collection bag. The exhaust device is provided with a ventilation tube and a flexible tube. The ventilation tube is inserted through the through hole into the ventilation hood, with some portion remained outside the ventilation hood. An annular fixing base is formed around the ventilation tube for threadably combined with a wall of the ventilation hood. The ventilation tube is obliquely positioned with a certain angle, having an exit at an upper end to approximately face to the center of the opening of the suction tube, and an inlet at a lower end. A flexible tube is installed outside the ventilation hood, with its upper end connected with the inlet of the ventilation tube, and the other end jointed with the outer wall of the dust collection tank to communicate with the dust collection tank.
This invention is better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
As shown in
The ventilation hood 5 is provided with a motor 51 fixed on its top, plural fan blades 52 positioned inside it and just under the motor for pivotally connecting with the motor 51, a suction tube 53 vertically fixed under the fan blades 52, and a first exit 54 formed in its bottom, a second exit 55 formed in an upper right side and an inlet 56 formed in a left side, and a through hole 57 bored in an intermediate portion of a right sidewall.
The dust collection tank 6 is positioned just under the first exit 54 of the ventilation hood 5, provided with a dust receiving bag 61 put inside it for receiving comparatively heavy dust particles therein, and an outlet 62 bored in its shell near the bottom. Connected with the second exit 55 is the dust collecting bag 7, which can receive rather light dust coming through the inlet 56, and then to be sucked upward through the sucking tube 53 to be blown into the dust collection bag 7 finally.
The exhaust device 8 is composed of a ventilation tube 81 and a flexible tube 82. The ventilation tube 81 is inserted through the through hole 57 into the ventilation hood 5, with some portion remained outside the ventilation hood 5. An annular fixing base 83 of an L-shaped tube is fixed around the ventilation tube 81 and threadably combined with the wall of the ventilation hood 5. The ventilation tube 81 is obliquely positioned with a certain angle, having an exit 811 at an upper end to approximately face to the center of the lower opening of the suction tube 53, and an inlet 812 formed at a lower end. The exit 811 of the ventilation tube 81 is also positioned at a location just below the center of the fan blades 52. The flexible tube 82 is installed outside the ventilation hood 5, with its upper end connected with the inlet 812 of the ventilation tube 81, and the other end jointed with an outer wall of the dust collection tank 6 to communicate with the dust collection tank 6. Further, a ventilation cap 9 is employed to be fixed inward in the outlet 62 of the dust collection tank 6, provided with a plurality of vents 91 and a tube 92 extended outside the dust collection tank 6 for connecting with the flexible tube 82. The exhaust device 8 is to suck the air existing in a gap between the annular inner wall of the dust collection tank 6 and the dust receiving bag by means of the operation of the fan blades 52.
In using, as the ventilation tube 81 is inserted through the through hole 57 to be obliquely positioned inside the ventilation hood 5 with its exit 811 exactly facing to the fan blades 52, the exit 811 is thus perpendicular to the flowing direction of the air sucked through the inlet 56 of the ventilation hood 5, so that the fan blades 52 rotating can create suction in the ventilation tube 81 and the flexible tube 82, (that is the exhaust device 8), to keep the air existing in a gap between the dust receiving bag 61 and the annular inner wall of the dust collecting tank 6 effectively sucked out of the flexible tube 82, the ventilation tube 81, through the suction tube 53 via the second exit 55 into the dust collection bag 7. Furthermore, the dust receiving bag 61 is to closely contact the annular inner wall of the dust collection tank 6 by means of the exhaust device 8, instead of being sucked toward the first exit 54 of the ventilation hood 5 not to prevent comparatively heavy dust particles from dropping down smoothly in the dust receiving bag 61.
