The ion generator provided according to the present disclosure can achieve a variable dimension in a first direction and/or a second direction, so as to effectively improve applicability of the ion generator, and enable it to meet the needs of occasions that require varied dimensions. Therefore, an ion generator with a customized external dimension can be quickly achieved.




Description

Technical Field



[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of dust removing equipment, and in particular, to an ion generator and a dust removing apparatus.

Background Art



[0002] For ion generators in the prior art, metal filaments are usually placed in a whole electrostatic dust collecting plate, so that the metal filaments discharges against a metal plate to generate ions. In some other solutions, a certain number of needle tips are placed to discharge against air or a metal plate.

[0003] However, the above ion generators in the existing solutions have a relatively fixed dimension, and cannot be applied to occasions requiring a variety of dimensions.

[0004] In addition, as insulation and moisture-proof measures are not used, and the metal filaments are placed in the whole electrostatic dust collecting plate, creepage may occur in contaminated and humid environments during use, and in severe cases, leakage tracking even may occur, causing ion electric field to fail and not work properly. Moreover, the needle tip solution has safety hazard in cleaning, that fingers of cleaning personnel are easy to stab, which is not conducive to cleaning.

[0026] According to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an ion generator is provided, and a structure and an operating principle of the ion generator will be specifically described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0027] For the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the ion generator includes a first electrical mechanism 100 and a second electrical mechanism 200. In the embodiments, the first electrical mechanism 100 includes a first conductive member 110 and a second conductive member 120 provided spaced from each other in a first direction F1, wherein the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120 both extend in a second direction F2 perpendicular to the first direction F1, the first electrical mechanism 100 further includes a plurality of conductive rods 130 provided between the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120, and two ends of each conductive rod 130 in the first direction F1 are connected to the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120, respectively.

[0028] In the embodiments, the second electrical mechanism 200 includes a third conductive member 210 and a fourth conductive member 220 provided spaced from each other in the first direction F1, wherein the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220 both extend in the second direction F2, and the second electrical mechanism 200 further includes a plurality of conductive filaments 230 provided between the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220, two ends of each conductive filament 230 in the first direction F1 are connected to the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220 respectively, and the plurality of conductive filaments 230 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of conductive rods 130 in the third direction F3, so that each conductive rod 130 can discharge to corresponding conductive filaments 230.

[0029] In embodiments, the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120 each include a plurality of first splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the second direction F2, and the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220 each include a plurality of second splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the second direction F2; and/or each conductive rod 130 includes a plurality of third splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the first direction F1, and each conductive filament 230 includes a plurality of fourth splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the first direction F1.

[0030] Thus, for the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, in cases where the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120 each include a plurality of first splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the second direction F2, and the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220 each include a plurality of second splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the second direction F2, and a dimension of the ion generator in the second direction F2 can be overall adjusted by adjusting the number of first splicing units of the first conductive member 110, the number of first splicing units of the second conductive member 120, the number of second splicing units of the third conductive member 210 and the number of second splicing units of the fourth conductive member 220, thereby achieving a variable dimension of the ion generator in the second direction F2.

[0031] Similarly, in cases where each conductive rod 130 includes a plurality of third splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the first direction F1, and each conductive filament 230 includes a plurality of fourth splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the first direction F1, for the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the dimension of the ion generator in the first direction F1 can be overall adjusted by adjusting the number of third splicing units and the number of fourth splicing units, thereby achieving a variable dimension of the ion generator in the first direction F1.

[0032] In this way, the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is configured in such a manner that the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120 each include a plurality of first splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the second direction F2, the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220 each include a plurality of second splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the second direction F2, each conductive rod 130 includes a plurality of third splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the first direction F1, and each conductive filament 230 includes a plurality of fourth splicing units detachably spliced in sequence in the first direction F1. Thus, the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve a variable dimension in both the first direction F1 and the second direction F2, thereby effectively improving applicability of the ion generator, and enabling it to meet the needs of occasions that require varied dimensions. Therefore, an ion generator with a customized external dimension can be quickly achieved.

[0033] In the embodiments, the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120 both may be formed into a rod shape, and the first splicing units may be short rods with a predetermined length, wherein the short rods each may be provided with connection structures at two ends of the short rods, for example, one end may be provided with a connection protrusion, and the other end may be provided with a connection recess. In this way, for adjacent short rods, the connection protrusion of one short rod may be inserted into the connection recess of the other short rod, so as to be snap-fitted into the recess, realizing connection between the adjacent short rods. Such splicing manner requires no additional connecting piece, and facilitates simplification of the structure and assembly process of the ion generator. Therefore, lengths of the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120 in the second direction F2 may be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of short rods.

[0034] Similarly, in the embodiments, the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220 also may be formed in a rod shape, and the second splicing units each also may be short rods with a predetermined length, wherein the short rods each may be provided with connection structures at two ends of the short rods, for example, similar to the above description, one end may be provided with a connection protrusion, and the other end may be provided with a connection recess. In this way, for adjacent short rods, the connection protrusion of one short rod may be inserted into the connection recess of the other short rod, so as to be snap-fitted into the recess, realizing connection between the adjacent short rods. Therefore, lengths of the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220 in the second direction F2 may be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of short rods.

[0035] In the embodiments, the first splicing units and the second splicing units may have the same length. In this way, lengths of the first conductive member 110, the second conductive member 120, the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220 in the second direction F2 may be unified by setting the same number of splicing units, so as to facilitate design of an external dimension of the ion generator, and also facilitate the assembly of the ion generator. Besides, as an example, the first splicing units and the second splicing units all may be formed from a metal material, such as aluminum.

[0036] In the embodiments, changing the number of first splicing units and the number of second splicing units can change the length of the ion generator in the second direction F2, and when the number is increased, the number of the conductive rods 130 and the number of conductive filaments 230 may be correspondingly increased, so as to adapt to the increase of the lengths of the first conductive member 110, the second conductive member 120, the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220, and vice versa.

[0037] In the embodiments, the third splicing units included in the conductive rod 130 may be, for example, short rods with a predetermined length, and the short rods may extend, for example, in the first direction F1. In the embodiments, the short rods each also may be provided with related connection structures at two ends for being connected to adjacent short rods. As an example, one end of each short rod may be provided with a protrusion, the other end may be provided with a recess, and the protrusion of the short rod may be inserted into the recess of adjacent short rod, so as to realize connection of adjacent short rods.

[0038] As an example, two outermost short rods of each conductive rod 130 may be connected to the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120, for example, by screws or rivets. It should be noted herein that the screws and the rivets are all detachable.

[0039] For the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, each conductive filament 230 may include a first hanging portion and a second hanging portion at two ends thereof, wherein the first hanging portion and the second hanging portion are hanged onto the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220, respectively. Herein, as an example, the first hanging portion may be, for example, a ring structure, and the second hanging portion may be, for example, a hook, which will be described in detail in the following description.

[0040] In the embodiments, the fourth splicing units included in the conductive filament 230 may be, for example, short filaments with a predetermined length, wherein the short filaments may extend, for example, in the first direction F1. In the embodiments, each short filament also may be provided with related connection structures at two ends thereof for being connected to adjacent short filaments. As an example, one end of each short filament may be provided with a hook, the other end may be provided with a ring structure, and the hook of the short filament may be hooked in the ring structure of an adjacent short filament, so as to realize the connection of the adjacent short filaments. In this way, by using such cooperation between the hook and the ring structure, processing complexity of the short filaments can be reduced, and fast assembly of the conductive filaments 230 is facilitated.

[0041] In the embodiments, the third conductive member 210 may be provided with a plurality of hooks, for example, in the second direction F2, wherein these hooks are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the conductive filaments 230, so that each hook may be hooked to the ring structure of the short rod of the conductive filament 230 closest to the third conductive member 210. In contrast, the fourth conductive member 220 may be provided with a plurality of ring structures, for example, in the second direction F2, wherein these ring structures may be provided in one-to-one correspondence with the conductive filaments 230, so that each ring structure may be hooked by the hook on the short rod of the conductive filament 230 closest to the fourth conductive member 220.

[0042] In addition, in the embodiments, the conductive rods 130 and the conductive filaments 230 are all provided in parallel and at equal intervals. Therefore, as an example, for the third conductive member 210, each second splicing unit may be provided with the hooks of an equal number, and these hooks have an equal interval, and for the fourth conductive member 220, each second splicing unit may be provided with the ring structures of an equal number, and these ring structures have an equal interval. That is to say, in the embodiments, each hook on the third conductive member 210 has the oppositely provided ring structure on the fourth conductive member 220 in the first direction F1.

[0043] In addition, in the embodiments, the conductive filaments 230 discharge to the conductive rods 130, and therefore the conductive filaments 230 form substantial discharge filaments, while the conductive rods 130 are discharge objects, and therefore the conductive rods 130 form substantial discharge rods. The discharge filaments are used to discharge to the discharge objects so as to generate ionized ions.

[0044] Therefore, as mentioned in the above description, for the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the two ends of each conductive rod 130 in the first direction F1 may be detachably connected to the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120 respectively, and the two ends of each conductive filament 230 in the first direction F1 may be detachably connected to the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220, respectively. In this way, it is more conducive to adjusting the external dimension of the ion generator.

[0045] For the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the ion generator further may include a first insulation protective component, a second insulation protective component 400, a third insulation protective component and a fourth insulation protective component 500. In the embodiments, the first insulation protective component and the second insulation protective component 400 are elastic, so that they can provide a better covering effect for the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120, respectively, and also facilitate respective connection of the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120 to the first insulation protective component and the second insulation protective component 400 directly by means of elastic covering, without additionally providing connection parts (for example, screws and other parts).

[0046] In the embodiments, the first insulation protective component and the second insulation protective component 400 may cover the outsides of the first conductive member 110 and the second conductive member 120, respectively. In this way, the first insulation protective component and the second insulation protective component 400, on one hand, can provide insulation protection, and on the other hand, increase, through the covering effect, tolerance of the ion generator to contaminated and humid environments. In the embodiments, the first insulation protective component may cover most of the outside of the first conductive member 110, and expose parts of the first conductive member 110 connected to the conductive rods 130. Similarly, the second insulation protective component 400 may cover most of the outside of the second conductive member 120, and expose parts of the second conductive member 120 connected to the conductive rods 130.

[0047] Similarly, the third insulation protective component and the fourth insulation protective component 500 are elastic, so that they can provide a better covering effect for the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220, respectively, and also facilitate respective connection of the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220 to the first insulation protective component and the second insulation protective component 400 directly by means of elastic covering, without additionally providing connection parts (for example, screws and other parts).

[0048] The third insulation protective component and the fourth insulation protective component 500 cover the outsides of the third conductive member 210 and the fourth conductive member 220, respectively. In this way, the third insulation protective component and the fourth insulation protective component 500, on one hand, can provide insulation protection, and on the other hand, increase the tolerance of the ion generator to contaminated and humid environments by means of covering effect. In the embodiments, the third insulation protective component may cover most of the outside of the third conductive member 210, and expose parts of the third conductive member 210 connected to the conductive filaments 230. Similarly, the fourth insulation protective component 500 may cover most of the outside of the fourth conductive member 220, and expose parts of the fourth conductive member 220 connected to the conductive filaments 230.

[0049] In the embodiments, due to the covering effect of all of the four, namely, the first insulation protective component, the second insulation protective component 400, the third insulation protective component and the fourth insulation protective component 500, the four of the first insulation protective component, the second insulation protective component 400, the third insulation protective component and the fourth insulation protective component 500 are formed as substantial insulating boots, and the four respectively isolate and cover respective corresponding conductive members.

[0050] In the embodiments, all of the first insulation protective component, the second insulation protective component 400, the third insulation protective component and the fourth insulation protective component 500 may be made of, for example, rubber.

[0051] For the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, all of the four, namely, the first insulation protective component, the second insulation protective component 400, the third insulation protective component and the fourth insulation protective component 500 are formed by an extrusion molding process. In this way, by means of the extrusion molding process, an elongated strip-shaped base portion of the protective component may be extruded in advance, and then on the corresponding strip-shaped base portion of the protective component, the strip-shaped base portion of the protective component of a corresponding length is cut according to a required length of the first insulation protective component, so as to form the first insulation protective component. The same is true for the second insulation protective component 400, the third insulation protective component and the fourth insulation protective component 500, which is not repeated herein again.

[0052] In the embodiments, the first insulation protective component and the third insulation protective component are provided at an interval in a third direction F3, so as to leave a certain gap, thereby avoiding occurrence of a creepage phenomenon therebetween. Similarly, the second insulation protective component 400 and the fourth insulation protective component 500 are provided at an interval in the third direction F3, so as to leave a certain gap, thereby avoiding occurrence of the creepage phenomenon therebetween. In the embodiments, the third direction F3 may be, for example, perpendicular to both the first direction F1 and the second direction F2.

[0053] In addition, because there is no insulating barrier outside the second insulation protective component 400, the first electrical mechanism 100 may be quite conveniently removed directly from the outside.

[0054] For the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, similar to the above description, the first insulation protective component further may include a first open portion provided in a first insulating body, wherein the first open portion may accommodate a part of each conductive rod 130, and is provided with the opening facing a side facing back to the third insulation protective component. Thus, moist water vapor in the air can be discharged outwards through the first open portion, avoiding creepage caused by flow of the moist water vapor towards the conductive rods 130. Similarly, the second insulation protective component 400 further may include a second open portion 420 provided in a second insulating body, wherein the second open portion 420 may accommodate a part of each conductive rod 130, and is provided with the opening facing a side facing back to the fourth insulation protective component 500, of which beneficial effects are not repeated herein again. The first open portion and the second open portion 420 may both be formed as drain ports, that is, the drain ports are selectively provided, so that the moist water vapor in the air is discharged outwards, avoiding creepage caused by the flowing thereof towards the conductive rods 130. Because there is no insulating barrier on the outside of the first insulation protective component, the first electrical mechanism 100 may be quite conveniently removed directly from the outside. The first open portion and the second open portion 420 facilitate discharging excessive water vapor, keep the interior of the ion generator dry, and enhance capacities of pressure resistance, moisture resistance and stain resistance.

[0055] In the embodiments, as an example, the first open portion may be, for example, a large drain port continuously extending from a first end of the first insulating body to a second end of the first insulating body. The large drain port, on one hand, facilitates replacement of the conductive rods through the drain port, and on the other hand, facilitates quick discharge of water vapor and possibly condensed liquid water.

[0056] For the ion generator provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, similar to the above description, the third insulation protective component may include a third insulating body and a plurality of third open portions provided in the third insulating body, wherein each third open portion is provided with the opening facing a side facing back to the first insulation protective component, and the plurality of third open portions are provided at intervals in the third insulating body in the second direction F2. The fourth insulation protective component 500 may include a fourth insulating body and a plurality of fourth open portions 510 provided in the fourth insulating body, wherein each fourth open portion 510 is provided with the opening facing a side facing back to the second insulation protective component 400, and the plurality of fourth open portions 510 are provided at intervals in the fourth insulating body in the second direction F2. Herein, the third open portions and the fourth open portions 510 facilitate discharge of the moist water vapor in the air to the outside, avoiding creepage caused by the flowing thereof towards the conductive rod 130.

[0057] In the embodiments, the third insulating body may include a first blocking wall located at one sides of the conductive filaments 230 facing back to the first insulation protective component, the plurality of third open portions may be provided in the first blocking wall, and each third open portion may be formed as a notch portion. Similarly, the fourth insulating body may include a second blocking wall located at one sides of the conductive filaments 230 facing back to the second insulation protective component, the plurality of fourth open portions may be provided in the second blocking wall, and each fourth open portion may be formed as a notch portion.

[0058] In the embodiments, it is equivalent to that the first open portion is provided back to back with the third open portions, and the second open portion is provided back to back with the fourth open portions, so that the water vapor can be discharged from two sides of an entirety formed by the first electrical mechanism and the second electrical mechanism in the third direction.

[0059] In addition, in the embodiments, the ion generator further may include a housing 300, wherein the housing 300 may be formed of, for example, plastic, and the first electrical mechanism 100 and the second electrical mechanism 200 may be placed into the housing 300 formed as a frame. With the accumulation of contaminants on the housing 300 and the conductive members as well as negative influence of the humid environment, it is easier to generate high-voltage creepage 600 between the first electrical mechanism 100 and the second electrical mechanism 200, so that the performance of the whole electrical field is affected or even fails, directly affecting cleaning efficiency of the product. By using the above insulation protective components to implement isolation and covering, the generation of the high-voltage creepage 600 is effectively avoided. The insulating boots made of an insulating rubber material have good insulating property, hydrophobicity and stain resistances. In addition, the housing 300, i.e. outer frame, of the ion generator also may be in a strip shape formed by extrusion, that is, left, right, upper and lower side frames with different lengths are cut out, they may be cut into required lengths, and therefore the ion generator with a customized external dimension can be quickly achieved. In addition, a circuit control board 700 may be placed on an inner side of an upper side frame of the housing 300 (for example, the circuit control board is embedded (filled and sealed) at the inner side by a sealant), and a supply voltage is provided through an outer connection port 710. In addition, a water leakage device also may be provided on the outer frame for discharging water.

[0060] In addition, the second electrical mechanism 200 may face the outside so as to be disassembled, assembled and cleaned directly from the outside. In the first electrical mechanism 100, the first insulation protective component and the second insulation protective component 400 may be quickly disassembled, assembled and fitted with their respective outer side frames by being plugged into and pulled out from dovetail slots (that is, the dovetail slots are provided at inner sides of the side frames, matching strip-shaped protrusions are provided on outer sides of corresponding insulation protective components, and the dovetail slots and the protrusions all extend in an extension direction of the insulation protective components, that is, extend in the second direction F2), thereby facilitating rapid customization and rapid cleaning and maintenance of diversified dimensions of electrodes of the ion generator.

[0061] In addition, in the embodiments, a gap between the first insulation protective component and the third insulation protective component and a gap between the second insulation protective component and the fourth insulation protective component both may communicate with an external environment through through-holes in the outer frame, so as to facilitate outward discharge of the water vapor in these gaps.

[0062] According to the second aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a dust removing apparatus is provided, wherein the dust removing apparatus includes the above ion generator, and also includes the above beneficial effects, which are not repeated herein again.

[0063] The dust removing apparatus provided according to the embodiments of the present disclosure further may include a collecting device, wherein the collecting device is used for collecting dust, and the collecting device is provided separately from the ion generator.

[0064] In the embodiments, the ion generator provides a charged electrode (for charging/electrizing contaminants), and the collecting device provides a collecting electrode (for adsorbing the charged contaminants), which two jointly function to achieve a cleaning effect. That is to say, the ion generator and the collecting device are two modules separated from each other, which arrangement mode is advantageous in that, since an operating voltage and a cleaning method of the ion generator both have certain differences from those of the collecting device, compared with an arrangement mode in which the two are integrated into one piece, such a separate arrangement mode is more beneficial to independent design, manufacture and assembly of both the ion generator and the collecting device, and moreover, it is more beneficial to separate and efficient cleaning of the ion generator and the collecting device. That is, it is unnecessary to be restricted to a high operating voltage of the ion generator to consider the creepage problem of a dust collecting mechanism in the ion generator and the collecting device which are integrated into one piece, and it is also unnecessary to be restricted to adverse effects that may be brought about to the ion generator by soaking and cleaning the collecting device with water.

[0065] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and hence are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Any equivalent structural variations made from the description and drawings of the present disclosure or direct/indirect applications in other related technical fields under the inventive concept of the present disclosure are included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
