These relative terms are for convenience of description and do not require that the present disclosure be constructed or operated in a particular orientation.
(9) In addition, terms such as “first” and “second” are used herein for purposes of description and are not intended to indicate or imply relative importance or significance. Thus, the feature defined with “first” and “second” may comprise one or more this feature. In the description of the present disclosure, “a plurality of” means at least two, for example, two or three, unless specified otherwise.
(10) In the present invention, unless specified or limited otherwise, the terms “mounted,” “connected,” “coupled,” “fixed” and the like are used broadly, and may be, for example, fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; may also be mechanical or electrical connections; may also be direct connections or indirect connections via intervening structures; may also be inner communications of two elements, which can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.
(11) The present disclosure will be described below with reference to specific embodiments in conjunction with the drawings.
(12) First, a flush valve 4 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to
(13) As shown in
(14) As shown in
(15) When the device to be flushed works normally, the first spool land blocks the first outlet 413 to prevent the fluid in the fluid passageway 414 from flowing into the device to be flushed through the first outlet 413.
(16) When the device to be flushed is blocked and needs flushing, the pressure of the device to be flushed drops due to the blockage, thus generating a pressure difference between the installation cavity and the device to be flushed. The pressure difference causes the first spool land 424 to move away from first outlet 413 to open the first outlet 413. At this time, the fluid in the fluid passageway 414 flows to the device to be flushed through the first outlet 413 to flush the device to be flushed.
(17) As a result, the flush valve 4 can automatically open the first outlet 413 for flushing the device to be flushed when the device to be flushed is blocked, nobody is required to monitor the blocking condition of the device to be flushed, nobody is required to operate the flush valve, and the flushing operation of the device to be flushed is convenient.
(18) As shown in
(19) As shown in
(20) In addition, due to the elastic action of the elastic part 422, when the pressure of the device to be flushed drops due to blockage, the movable part 423 moves in the direction of the device to be flushed under the pressure difference between the device to be flushed and the installation cavity 44, so that the first outlet 413 is opened, the airflow in the valve body 41 flows to the device to be flushed, the device to be flushed is pressurized while the device to be flushed is flushed, and when the first outlet 413 is opened for a short time, the device to be flushed is not unblocked yet. Due to the pressure supplementing effect of the airflow in the valve body 41, the device to be flushed and the valve body 41 realize a temporary pressure balance (or the pressure difference between the device to be flushed and the installation cavity 44 is not sufficient to push the first spool land 424 away from the first outlet 413), and at this time, the elastic part 422 releases elastic potential energy to cause the first spool land 424 to re-block the first outlet 413.
(21) However, since the device to be flushed is not unblocked at this time, the air pressure in the device to be flushed will continuously decrease due to the continuous negative pressure adsorption effect of the negative pressure generating part 13. When the air pressure in the device to be flushed decreases to a certain extent, the movable part 423 will move toward the device to be flushed again under the pressure difference between the device to be flushed and the installation cavity 44, so that the first outlet 413 is opened again, and the fluid in the valve body 41 flows to the device to be flushed again and flushes the device to be flushed. From this, it can be seen that when the device to be flushed is blocked, the first spool land 424 will be opened many times, and many times of pressure kick will occur in the device to be flushed, thus the flushing effect of the device to be flushed can be improved, and the device to be flushed can be unblocked.
(22) Specifically, as shown in
(23) More specifically, as shown in
(24) Specifically, as shown in
(25) Specifically, as shown in
(26) A dust collector 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to
(27) As shown in
(28) As shown in
(29) As shown in
(30) After the filter part 3 is used for a long time, the surface of the filter part 3 will be blocked due to the absorption of more dust, and airflow cannot be sucked into the negative pressure generating part through the filter part 3, resulting in the dust carrying arrangement 22 losing the power source from the negative pressure generating part 13, and the dust carrying arrangement 22 cannot continue to absorb and filter dust. At this time, the filter part 3 is the device to be flushed according to the above embodiment.
(31) In order for the dust carrying arrangement 22 to regain the ability to absorb dust, it is necessary to perform dust removal operation on the filter part 3 so that the filter part 3 can regain the ability to pass through the airflow. At this time, the filter part 3 is blocked and cannot pass through the airflow. The continuous negative pressure adsorption effect of the negative pressure generating part in the filtered space 52 causes the air pressure in the filtered space 52 to continuously decrease. When the air pressure in the filtered space 52 drops below a certain extent, the pressure in installation cavity 44 overcomes the force exerted by elastic part 422 leading to movement of valve spool 42 in the direction of the filtered space 52. This motion towards the filtered space 52 opens the first outlet 413, and then the airflow flowing in the fluid passageway 414 flows from the first outlet 413 to the filtered space 52 to flush the dust adsorbed by the filter part 3. Therefore, the opening of the valve spool 42 can be realized without manual movement of a human body or additional components for moving the valve spool 42, so that flushing of the filter part 3 is realized, and flushing and cleaning of the filter part 3 are more convenient.
(32) Specifically, as shown in
(33) As shown in
(34) In addition, due to the elastic action of the elastic part 422, when the filter part 3 cannot pass through the airflow due to blockage, the movable part 423 moves in the direction of the filtered space 52 under the pressure difference between the filtered space 52 and the valve body 41, so that the first outlet 413 is opened, the airflow in the valve body 41 flows to the filtered space 52, the filtered space 52 is pressurized while the filter part 3 is flushed, and when the first outlet 413 is opened for a short time, the filter part 3 is not unblocked yet. Due to the pressure supplementing effect of the airflow in the valve body 41, the filtered space 52 and the valve body 41 realize a temporary pressure balance, and at this time, the elastic part 422 releases elastic potential energy to cause the first spool land 424 to re-block the first outlet 413.
(35) However, since the filter part 3 is not unblocked at this time, the air pressure in the filtered space 52 will continuously decrease due to the continuous negative pressure adsorption effect of the negative pressure generating part 13. When the air pressure in the filtered space 52 decreases to a certain extent, the movable part 423 moves toward the filtered space 52 again under the pressure difference between the filtered space 52 and the valve body 41, so that the first outlet 413 is opened again, and the airflow in the valve body 41 flows to the filtered space 52 again and flushes filter part 3. From this, it can be seen that when the filter part 3 is blocked, the second spool land 425, which is adapted to be blocked in the fluid passageway 414 when the movable part 423 opens the first outlet 413 to prevent the airflow in the fluid passageway 414 from flowing to the negative pressure generating part 13. It should be noted that at this time, the second spool land will be opened many times, and many times of pressure kick will occur in the filtered space 52, thus the flushing effect of the filter part 3 can be improved, and the filter part 3 can be unblocked.
(36) Specifically, as shown in
(37) More specifically, as shown in
(38) In addition, since the Venturi negative pressure generating part 13 drives the dust collection part 2 to suck dust in a pneumatic way, the noise generated of this method is relatively small, and electromagnetic radiation is not generated at the same time compared with directly sucking dust by electric means such as an electric air extractor, thus improving the health protection of workers near the dust collector 10.
(39) As shown in
(40) In some alternative embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in
(41) As shown in
(42) When the filter part 3 is normally filtered and the airflow can normally flow from the dust collection part 2 through the filter part 3 into the Venturi negative pressure generating part 13, the valve spool 42 blocks the first outlet 413, and the air in the air source 11 cannot flow out of the valve body 41 through the first outlet 413 and can only flow into the Venturi tube from the second outlet 412 after entering the fluid passageway 414 from the inlet 411 through the first air delivery pipe 12. As a result, the velocity of flow into the Venturi tube can be made faster and a strong negative pressure can be formed in the Venturi tube. In some specific embodiments, the Venturi tube may have a tubular shape with openings at both ends having an area larger than the flow-through area of the middle portion, whereby the pressure of the airflow flowing into the middle portion of the Venturi tube is reduced to below the ambient atmospheric pressure, so that the ambient airflow flows into the Venturi tube from the dust collection part 2 through the filter part 3 under the action of the pressure difference.
(43) Optionally, as shown in
(44) Specifically, as shown in
(45) Specifically, as shown in
(46) Specifically, the filter part 3 may be a filter screen or filter element sleeved outside the Venturi tube.
(47) Specifically, as shown in
(48) Optionally, as shown in
(49) As shown in
(50) Optionally, as shown in
(51) As shown in
(52) In a further embodiment of a dust collector according to the invention as shown in
(53) The dust collection system 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below.
(54) As shown in
(55) According to the dust collection system 100 of the embodiment of the disclosure, by arranging the dust collector 10, the washing operation of the filter part is convenient, dust generated by workers during drilling operation can be collected in the dust collecting system 100 in time, so that the workers are prevented from sucking the dust into the body. Meanwhile, the dust collecting system 100 is driven by pressure, so that electromagnetic radiation to nearby workers is avoided, and the health guarantee of the workers is improved.
(56) The drilling tool 1000 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below.
(57) As shown in
(58) Specifically, the housing 21 is externally provided with a flow divider, and the air source 11 is connected with the flow divider. A part of the airflow flowing out of the air source 11 flows to the Venturi tube through the flow divider to generate negative pressure to adsorb dust, and another part of the airflow flowing out of the air source 11 flows to the drilling tool 200 through the flow divider to provide starting power for the drilling tool 200, so that the drilling tool 200 is pressure driven, electromagnetic radiation to nearby workers is avoided, and health protection of the workers is improved.
(59) In addition, according to the drilling tool 1000 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the flushing operation of the filter part 3 is convenient, dust generated by workers during drilling operation through the drilling tool 1000 can be collected in the dust collection system 100 in time, so that the workers are prevented from sucking the dust into the body. Meanwhile, the dust collecting system 100 is driven by pressure, so that electromagnetic radiation to nearby workers is avoided, and the health guarantee of the workers is improved.
