Description

本発明は、例えばチタンやマグネシウムやアルミニウムといった素材を機械加工する際に生じる発火性の高い粉塵や切粉を集塵する集塵機の技術分野に属するものであって、具体的には、これ等の粉塵や切粉によって引き起こされる粉塵爆発の危険性を解消させることができるように工夫した集塵機用防爆型フィルタ及び防爆型集塵機に関するものである。 The present invention belongs to the technical field of dust collectors that collect highly ignitable dust and chips generated when machining materials such as titanium, magnesium, and aluminum, and specifically, The present invention relates to an explosion-proof filter for a dust collector and an explosion-proof dust collector that are devised so as to eliminate the risk of dust explosion caused by dust and chips.

防爆型の集塵機並びにフィルタに関しては、既に本出願人によって開示された特許文献1に記載の「火災対策機能を備えた集塵装置」と、特許文献2に記載の「集塵装置」が存在する。 Regarding the explosion-proof dust collector and the filter, there are already “a dust collector having a fire countermeasure function” disclosed in Patent Document 1 disclosed by the present applicant and “a dust collector” described in Patent Document 2. .

特許文献1においては、プレダスト分離器によって遠心分離された質量の大きな高熱エネルギーを有する熱粒子を、ダストバケットに回収する前に吸熱処理して高熱エネルギーを消失させ、低エネルギー粒子としてダストバケットに排出して発火を防止できるように工夫した火災対策機能を備えた集塵装置が開示されている。   In Patent Document 1, the thermal particles having a large mass and high thermal energy, which have been centrifuged by the pre-dust separator, are absorbed by heat treatment before being recovered in the dust bucket, and the high thermal energy is lost and discharged to the dust bucket as low energy particles. Thus, a dust collector equipped with a fire countermeasure function devised to prevent ignition is disclosed.

特許文献2においては、着火すると爆発を伴う大きな熱エネルギーを生ずる粗大な粒子はメッシュフィルタに捕集させて、エアー逆洗によって早々に落下させて外部へ排出させる等の処理を行い、発火性のある微細粉塵は、そのフィルタに付着する量を出来るだけ少なくして発火するに満たない量に抑え、たとえ静電気等によるスパークが発生しても引火に至らない様、随所に不活性ガスを使用して粉塵爆発を誘起する危険性を減少させる技術が開示されている。

In Patent Document 2, coarse particles that generate large thermal energy that accompanies an explosion when ignited are collected by a mesh filter, quickly dropped by backwashing with air, and discharged to the outside. A certain amount of fine dust is reduced to an amount that does not ignite by reducing the amount attached to the filter as much as possible, and inert gas is used everywhere to prevent ignition even if sparks due to static electricity occur. A technique for reducing the risk of inducing a dust explosion is disclosed.

しかし、この様に発火しやすい物質を加工し、その切粉を集塵する場合に粉塵爆発を引き起こすことがあるが、その爆発のメカニズムは、集塵された微粉塵がフィルタ圧損の低減のための払い落としによって集塵室内に粉塵雲となって浮遊しだし、集塵室内でなんらかのきっかけ(静電気や溶接作業時の火種等)で微粉塵の粒子が着火し、その熱によって集塵室内に混在している他の微粉塵粒子が加熱されて着火し、次々に着火が伝播されることで粉塵爆発が誘引されると考えられている。 However, when an easily ignited material is processed and the chips are collected, dust explosion may occur. However, the mechanism of the explosion is to reduce the filter pressure loss. The dust cloud will float in the dust collection chamber due to the removal of dust, and fine dust particles will be ignited in the dust collection chamber due to some kind of trigger (static electricity or fire type during welding work, etc.), and the heat will be mixed in the dust collection chamber It is thought that other fine dust particles are heated and ignited, and the explosion is attracted by successive propagation of the ignition.

ところが上記特許文献1に記載の集塵装置では、微細粉塵をエアー噴射の如き除塵方法で集塵しているため、微細粉塵が集塵室内に浮遊して粉塵雲となり、引火の可能性が増大してしまう問題がある。そのため上記特許文献2では微細粉塵捕集用フィルタは逆洗を行わずに、ダストを付着させた状態のまま外部へ取出す構造となっているが、この構造では、フィルタの交換頻度が高くなって交換作業による運転停止が頻繁になり、フィルタそのものの交換若しくは再利用のために、堆積した粉塵を別途クリーニングする工程などが必要となり、集塵運転のランニングコストが高騰する問題がある。 However, in the dust collector described in Patent Document 1 , since fine dust is collected by a dust removal method such as air injection, the fine dust floats in the dust collection chamber and becomes a dust cloud, which increases the possibility of ignition. There is a problem. Therefore, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, the fine dust collecting filter has a structure in which dust is attached to the outside without backwashing, but in this structure, the frequency of filter replacement is high. Therefore, there is a problem that the operation stop due to the replacement work is frequently performed, and a process of separately cleaning the accumulated dust is necessary for replacement or reuse of the filter itself, and the running cost of the dust collection operation increases.

そこで本発明の技術的課題は、集塵室内で払い落としにより発生した粉塵雲状態の微粉塵に対して、爆発のきっかけを作る火種が着火したとしても、それが周辺への加熱・着火の伝播を引き起こさず、粉塵爆発に至らないように工夫し、加えて、粉塵の堆積による圧損の増加を回避するための堆積粉塵の払い落とし(逆洗動作)を安全に実現できるよう工夫した集塵機用防爆型フィルタならびに防爆型集塵機を提供することである。 So technical object of the present invention is, for the fine dust of the dust cloud state generated by flicked in the dust collection chamber, even if the ignition source that creates the cause of the explosion is ignited, heating and ignition of it around devised without causing propagation, devised so as not to reach the dust explosion, in addition flicked deposition dust to avoid an increase in pressure loss due to deposition of dust (the backwash operation), safely realized it as An explosion-proof filter for a dust collector and an explosion-proof dust collector are provided.

上記(1)で述べた集塵機用防爆型フィルタによれば、集塵運転後の払い落とし(逆洗)動作時に微細粉塵が粉塵雲となったとしても、この微細粉塵の粉塵雲はフィルタ濾材内の多孔体内部収まって、それよりも上流(吸気側)に再飛散せずに多孔体内部を落下して下方に集まることで、粉塵雲が多孔体の内部以外の集塵室内に発生しないため、多孔体内部の微細粉塵は加熱・着火されても熱伝導率の高い多孔体に吸熱されて着火の伝播が起こらずに粉塵爆発に至ることがなく、したがって、チタンやマグネシウムやアルミニウムといった素材を機械加工する際に生じる発火性の高い粉塵や切粉を集塵する集塵機においても、払い落とし動作を安全に行うことを可能する。 According to the explosion-proof filter for a dust collector described in (1) above, even if the fine dust becomes a dust cloud during the dust-off (backwash) operation after the dust collection operation, the fine dust dust cloud is not contained in the filter medium. the porous body fits inside, that gather downward fall inside the porous body without re-entrainment into the upstream (intake side) than the dust cloud is not generated to the dust collecting chamber inside the other of the porous body Therefore, even if the fine dust inside the porous body is heated and ignited, it is absorbed by the porous body with high thermal conductivity and the propagation of ignition does not occur and the dust explosion does not occur. Therefore, materials such as titanium, magnesium and aluminum Even in a dust collector that collects highly ignitable dust and swarf that are generated when machining slabs, it is possible to safely perform the removal operation.

更に、上記(1)で述べた集塵機用防爆型フィルタによれば、フィルタ濾材を筒状にしたことで、複数のフィルタの並列配置が可能となって集塵能力を向上させることができると共に、フィルタ濾材の内部空間のすべてを多孔体によって充填することが容易にできるため、払い落とされた微細粉塵による粉塵雲がフィルタ内部の多孔体より吸気側に逆流しにくく、払い落とし動作を複数のフィルタのなかで可動蓋体の位置を選択しておこなうことができ、加えて、集塵動作と払い落とし動作を同時におこなうことが可能になるので、常時連続運転しながらの払い落とし動作による圧損の低減が可能となる。Furthermore, according to the explosion-proof filter for a dust collector described in the above (1), the filter medium is cylindrical, so that a plurality of filters can be arranged in parallel, and the dust collection ability can be improved. Since all the internal space of the filter medium can be easily filled with a porous material, the dust cloud due to fine dust that has been removed is less likely to flow back to the intake side from the porous material inside the filter, and the removal operation can be performed with multiple filters. The position of the movable lid can be selected and the dust collection operation and the removal operation can be performed at the same time, reducing the pressure loss due to the removal operation during continuous operation. Is possible.

上記(2)で述べた集塵機用防爆型フィルタによれば、一般的な製法により、任意の気孔率、任意の素材から空気の数十倍以上の熱伝導度を有する多孔体が容易に製造できるため、上記(1)の機能を確実に、且つ、安価に実現することを可能にする。   According to the explosion-proof filter for a dust collector described in (2) above, a porous body having an arbitrary porosity and a thermal conductivity several tens of times that of air can be easily manufactured from an arbitrary porosity by an ordinary manufacturing method. Therefore, the function (1) can be realized reliably and inexpensively.

上記()と(と(5)で述べた防爆型集塵機によれば、逆洗動作時のエアー圧を効率良く筒状フィルタに作用させて、払い落とし(逆洗)動作によるフィルタの粉塵払い落とし能力を向上させることが出来る。 According to the explosion-proof dust collector described in ( 3 ), ( 4 ) and (5) above , the air pressure during the backwashing operation is efficiently applied to the cylindrical filter, and the filter by the wiping (backwashing) operation is used. The dust removal ability can be improved.

上記()で述べた防爆型集塵機によれば、大きな粉塵をサイクロン式の一次集塵部で捕集して収集した後、微細粉塵のみを二次側に設けた複数の防爆型フィルタに流入させたことで、集塵効率が向上してフィルタ目詰まりの低減化が可能となる。 According to the explosion-proof dust collector described in ( 6 ) above, after collecting and collecting a large amount of dust in the cyclone type primary dust collector, only fine dust flows into a plurality of explosion-proof filters provided on the secondary side. As a result, the dust collection efficiency is improved and the filter clogging can be reduced.

以上に述べた次第で、本発明に係る集塵機用防爆型フィルタ及び防爆型集塵機によれば、例えばチタンやマグネシウム、或いは、アルミニウムといった素材を機械加工する際に生じる発火性の高い粉塵や切粉を集塵するに際して、これ等の粉塵や切粉によって引き起こされる粉塵爆発の危険性を確実に解消させることができると共に、連続集塵運転中の払い落とし動作(逆洗動作)によるフィルタ圧損の低減化を可能にした、集塵機用防爆型フィルタ及び防爆型集塵機を実現できる利点を発揮することができる。 As described above, according to the explosion-proof filter for dust collector and the explosion-proof dust collector according to the present invention, highly ignitable dust and chips generated when machining a material such as titanium, magnesium, or aluminum are used. When collecting dust, the risk of dust explosion caused by these dusts and chips can be surely eliminated, and the filter pressure loss is reduced by the removal operation (back washing operation) during continuous dust collection operation. The advantage that the explosion-proof filter for dust collector and the explosion-proof dust collector can be realized can be exhibited.

図1において、符号1で全体的に示したのは、本発明に係る集塵機用防爆型フィルタであって、この防爆型フィルタ1は、円筒状に形成したフィルタ濾材2と、フィルタ濾材2の開口された上下両端部に取付ける殆どが開口状態に形成された上下のフランジ体3A,3Bと、フィルタ濾材2の座屈や膨らみを抑える金属製の籠状補強体4と、フィルタ濾材2の内部に複数多段に収納される円柱状の金属多孔体5…によって構成されていて、大きく開口されている上下のフランジ体3A,3Bの丸孔が、防爆型フィルタ1の上面口2Xと底面口2Yを構成している。   In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 generally indicates an explosion-proof filter for a dust collector according to the present invention. The explosion-proof filter 1 includes a filter medium 2 formed in a cylindrical shape, and an opening of the filter medium 2. The upper and lower flanges 3A and 3B that are attached to the upper and lower ends are formed in an open state, the metal flange-like reinforcing body 4 that suppresses the buckling and swelling of the filter medium 2, and the filter medium 2 The round holes of the upper and lower flange bodies 3A and 3B, which are constituted by a plurality of cylindrical metal porous bodies 5 accommodated in a plurality of stages and are widely opened, serve as the upper surface opening 2X and the bottom surface opening 2Y of the explosion-proof filter 1. It is composed.

上記フィルタ濾材2は、具体的には耐熱性の高い金属やセラミックなどを織布状に形成した濾材を、矩形状に裁断してこれを円筒状に巻いて接合したものであって、上下に取付けた上記のフランジ体3A,3Bがこの円筒形状を保持するように構成されている。   Specifically, the filter medium 2 is obtained by cutting a filter medium formed of a metal or ceramic having high heat resistance into a woven cloth shape into a rectangular shape and winding it into a cylindrical shape and joining them up and down. The attached flange bodies 3A and 3B are configured to maintain this cylindrical shape.

図2はこの防爆型フィルタ1の断面図を示し、金属多孔体5…は図の様にフィルタ濾材2の内部で、周面をフィルタ濾材2の内周面が接触させた状態で密着収納され、これらを上下のフランジ体3A,3Bが抑えている構成となっており、各金属多孔体5…同士はもちろん、金属多孔体5…とフィルタ濾材2が密着した状態に収納されている。   FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the explosion-proof filter 1, and the porous metal body 5 is tightly accommodated inside the filter medium 2 as shown in the figure, with the inner surface of the filter medium 2 in contact with the peripheral surface. The upper and lower flange bodies 3A and 3B are configured so as to suppress the metal porous bodies 5 and the metal porous bodies 5 and the filter medium 2 in close contact with each other.

図3は本発明に係る防爆型フィルタ1に用いる金属多孔体5の一部を示した拡大図であって、図の様に金属多孔体5は3mm程度の気孔部5A…が無数に組み合わさった3次元網目構造をしており、別名では発泡金属・金属多孔質体などともいい、高い気孔率すなわち比表面積(体積に対する表面積の比)を有しているもので、近年では様々な分野で利用されているものであり、所望の気孔形状・気孔率・外形形状・素材などでカスタム製造しても容易に入手できるものである。   FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing a part of the porous metal body 5 used in the explosion-proof filter 1 according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the porous metal body 5 has an infinite number of pores 5A of about 3 mm. In other words, it has a high porosity, that is, specific surface area (ratio of surface area to volume). It is used, and can be easily obtained even by custom manufacturing with a desired pore shape, porosity, external shape, material, and the like.

図4は本発明に係る防爆型フィルタ1に用いる金属多孔体5の一例を示した説明図であり、その一部の製法と構造の関連を説明するものであって、本発明の実施例に用いる金属多孔体5はその製造過程において、所望の気孔を得るためにそれ相当の直径を有する樹脂ビーズを充填して金属成型し、金属と樹脂ビーズの複合体を形成させた後に樹脂ビーズのみを溶融・除去するといった製法を想定している。理想的には、図4の様に除去する前の樹脂ビーズの球状形状が整列してその空間にのみ金属が充填された構造で、内部には3次元的な空間が無数に形成されているものが得られることになるが、実際には、内部に充填する樹脂ビーズの直径のバラツキや密着時の変形等により、図3で示した様な適度に入り組んだ3次元空間を有する金属多孔体5が得られることになり、この様な部材は近年では様々な素材から容易に製造可能である。   FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an example of the porous metal body 5 used in the explosion-proof filter 1 according to the present invention, which explains the relation between a part of the manufacturing method and the structure, and in the embodiment of the present invention. In the manufacturing process, the metal porous body 5 to be used is filled with resin beads having a corresponding diameter in order to obtain desired pores, molded into a metal, and after forming a composite of metal and resin beads, only the resin beads are formed. It assumes a manufacturing method such as melting and removing. Ideally, the spherical shape of the resin beads before removal is aligned as shown in FIG. 4 and the space is filled with metal only, and an infinite number of three-dimensional spaces are formed inside. In actuality, however, the porous metal body has a moderately complicated three-dimensional space as shown in FIG. 3 due to variations in the diameter of the resin beads filled in the inside and deformation upon close contact. In recent years, such a member can be easily manufactured from various materials.

この様な構造をしている金属多孔体5であるために、外部からは比較的小さな力で変形させたり圧縮させることが可能であり、図1、図2で示すようにフィルタ濾材2の内部および金属多孔体5…同士を密着させることは容易である。なお、これ以外の製法で得られる金属多孔体5や、金属性の不織布を凝縮したものや金網状のものを巻いたもの、スチールウールなどと称される金属製たわしの様なものも本発明の実現には使用可能であり、さらに大きさとしてもフィルタ濾材2の内部に充填されるものが多段ではなく、一体で製造することも可能であり、本発明の請求範囲における全体を熱伝導が空気よりも高い固体物質を用いて構成し、且つ、その骨格が3次元的に連なって連続する3次元的な気孔を持つ多孔体とは、前述の製法や大きさに限定するものではない。   Since the porous metal body 5 has such a structure, it can be deformed or compressed with a relatively small force from the outside, and the inside of the filter medium 2 as shown in FIGS. And it is easy to make metal porous body 5 ... adhere closely. In addition, the metal porous body 5 obtained by a manufacturing method other than the above, the one obtained by condensing a metallic non-woven fabric, the one wrapped with a wire net-like one, or the one like a metal scourer called steel wool is also included in the present invention. The filter medium 2 can be manufactured in one piece, not in multiple stages, and can be manufactured as a single unit. The porous body having a three-dimensional pore formed by using a solid substance higher than air and having a three-dimensional continuous skeleton is not limited to the above-described manufacturing method and size.

上記の図5並びに図6の分解斜視図に見られるように、上記の集塵ユニット11は、円筒状でその外部接線方向より吸気路12Aが連通する外筒体12と、その内部集塵室12Kに外筒体12と同心円状に嵌込まれ、且つ、一部に前記ブロアー20への排気路13Aが連通する底板13Rを有する内筒体13とによって構成され、更に、内筒体13の上面部には、複数の開口部14A…を有する上カバー14と、後述する可動蓋体としての円板15とが、上下二重に重なった状態に配置されている。   As seen in the exploded perspective views of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the dust collection unit 11 has a cylindrical outer cylinder 12 in which the intake passage 12A communicates from the external tangential direction, and an internal dust collection chamber. 12K, and the inner cylinder 13 having a bottom plate 13R which is concentrically fitted to the outer cylinder 12 and partially communicates with the exhaust passage 13A to the blower 20. On the upper surface portion, an upper cover 14 having a plurality of openings 14A and a disk 15 as a movable lid, which will be described later, are arranged in a state of overlapping vertically.

加えて、上記内筒体13の内部13Kには、夫々上面口2X…を上記上カバー14の複数の開口部14A…と連通状態に合致させた状態で、前記複数本の防爆型フィルタ1…が配置され、これ等各防爆型フィルタ1…の外周には、当該フィルタ1よりも丈を若干低く造り、上端開口部にはエアー呼び込み用のテーパー16Tを設けたフィルタカバー16が、同軸に且つ間隔をあけて配置されている。   In addition, in the inside 13K of the inner cylindrical body 13, the plurality of explosion-proof filters 1 in a state where the upper surface openings 2X are in communication with the plurality of openings 14A in the upper cover 14, respectively. A filter cover 16 is formed on the outer periphery of each of the explosion-proof filters 1... With a height slightly lower than that of the filter 1 and provided with a taper 16T for air intake at the upper end opening. They are arranged at intervals.

更に、上記外筒体12及び内筒体13の下側部には、図5に示す如くダスト回収用のダストバケット17が取外し自在に装着されており、上記複数本の防爆型フィルタ1…の各下端の底面口2Yは、夫々上記内筒体13の底板13Rに複数開口した通気穴13H…を通して、上記ダストバケット17に通じている。   Further, a dust bucket 17 for dust collection is detachably mounted on the lower side of the outer cylinder 12 and the inner cylinder 13 as shown in FIG. 5, and the plurality of explosion-proof filters 1. The bottom opening 2Y at each lower end communicates with the dust bucket 17 through a plurality of vent holes 13H opened in the bottom plate 13R of the inner cylinder 13 respectively.

また、外筒体12の上面は上蓋18で覆われており、さらにその上側には円板用モータ15Mが取付けられていて、前記円板15がこの上蓋18を貫通した駆動軸15Sの下端部に連結されて回転駆動可能に配置され、加えて、圧縮エアーパージ用のヘッダー19も配置されているが、ヘッダー19に連通するコンプレッサーは図面では省略しており、実際にはヘッダー19は外部のエアコンプレッサーまでエアーホース接続されている。   The upper surface of the outer cylinder 12 is covered with an upper lid 18, and a disk motor 15 M is attached to the upper side of the upper cylinder 18, and the lower end portion of the drive shaft 15 S through which the disk 15 penetrates the upper lid 18. In addition, a compressed air purge header 19 is also arranged, and the compressor 19 communicating with the header 19 is omitted in the drawing. The air hose is connected to the air compressor.

詳細は後述するが、本発明に係る防爆型集塵機は、基本的には前述したブロアー20の吸引作用により、まず外筒体12に設けた外周の吸気路12Aより含塵空気が吸引され、その含塵空気が外筒体12と内筒体13との間隔SP(図7、図8参照)に入って、外筒体12の内壁に沿って回転上昇するため、この間隔SPがサイクロン式の一次集塵室12Wとなっており、この一次集塵室12Wにおいて比較的粗い粉塵BDは遠心力で外筒体12の内壁に沿って回転しながら自重でダストバケット17内に落下して捕集される。一方、比較的微細な粉塵SDは外筒体12の上面部に設けた上カバー14の開口部14Aより、内筒体13の内部の二次集塵室、即ち、各防爆型フィルタ1の内部に吸引され、フィルタ濾材2の内壁において捕集されて、微細粉塵を含まない清浄空気が内筒体13の排気路13Aよりブロアー20に吸引され、排気用ダクト21を通って集塵機10の外部に排気される仕組みになっている。   Although the details will be described later, the explosion-proof dust collector according to the present invention basically sucks dust-containing air from the intake passage 12A on the outer periphery provided in the outer cylinder 12 by the suction action of the blower 20 described above. Since the dust-containing air enters the interval SP (see FIGS. 7 and 8) between the outer cylindrical body 12 and the inner cylindrical body 13 and rotates and rises along the inner wall of the outer cylindrical body 12, this interval SP is a cyclone type. A primary dust collection chamber 12W is formed, and in this primary dust collection chamber 12W, relatively coarse dust BD is collected by falling into the dust bucket 17 by its own weight while rotating along the inner wall of the outer cylindrical body 12 by centrifugal force. Is done. On the other hand, the relatively fine dust SD passes from the opening 14A of the upper cover 14 provided on the upper surface of the outer cylinder 12 to the secondary dust collection chamber inside the inner cylinder 13, that is, the interior of each explosion-proof filter 1. And is collected on the inner wall of the filter medium 2, and clean air that does not contain fine dust is sucked into the blower 20 from the exhaust passage 13 </ b> A of the inner cylinder 13 and passes through the exhaust duct 21 to the outside of the dust collector 10. The system is exhausted.

図6は、特に集塵ユニット11として上述した一次集塵、二次集塵の動作を行う部分を示した分解図であって、図5には示されていないが、上カバー14の裏側(下方内側)には、図7及び図8に示す如く各開口部14Aごとに、開口部14Aを囲む嵌込み凹部14S…が上向きに凹設されていて、これ等嵌込み凹部14S…には円形状に形成した除塵用の圧縮空気を噴射するブローチューブ30…が嵌装されている。   FIG. 6 is an exploded view showing a part that performs the primary dust collection and secondary dust collection operations described above as the dust collection unit 11 in particular, and is not shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, in each of the openings 14 </ b> A, fitting recesses 14 </ b> S surrounding the opening 14 </ b> A are formed upward, and these fitting recesses 14 </ b> S are circular. The blow tube 30 ... which injects the compressed air for dust removal formed in the shape is inserted.

上記の各ブローチューブ30…は、図5、図7、図8に示す圧縮エアーパージ用のヘッダー19から分岐して、個々の弁装置を介して連通している。更に、上記ブローチューブ30…と各防爆型フィルタ1…の間には、前記可動蓋体としての円板15が配置されている。この円板15には、上記フィルタ1…の上面口2X…と同径の丸穴15Aが、計3カ所位置を合わせて設けられ、1カ所のみ、上記上面口2Xと同径の閉塞部15Sに成っていて、この閉塞部15Sの周囲に前記ブローチューブ30から噴射される除塵用の圧縮エアーを、上記防爆型フィルタ1とフィルタカバー16の上端のテーパー部16Tとの間に吹き込むことを可能にする開口部15X…が設けられている。   Each of the blow tubes 30 is branched from the compressed air purge header 19 shown in FIGS. 5, 7, and 8 and communicates via individual valve devices. Further, a disk 15 as the movable lid is disposed between the blow tubes 30 and the explosion-proof filters 1. The circular plate 15 is provided with round holes 15A having the same diameter as the upper surface ports 2X of the filters 1 in a total of three positions, and only one position is a blocking portion 15S having the same diameter as the upper surface port 2X. It is possible to blow the dust-decompressed compressed air sprayed from the blow tube 30 around the closed portion 15S between the explosion-proof filter 1 and the tapered portion 16T at the upper end of the filter cover 16. Opening portions 15X are provided.

また、上記複数の防爆型フィルタ1…は、夫々内筒体13の底板13Rに設けられた通気穴13H…と同軸に収納され、その外周に前述したフィルタカバー16…が配置されている。   The plurality of explosion-proof filters 1 are accommodated coaxially with the vent holes 13H provided in the bottom plate 13R of the inner cylinder 13, and the above-described filter covers 16 are disposed on the outer periphery thereof.

図7は本発明に係る防爆型集塵機の要部詳細図であり、通常の集塵運転時の動作を説明すると、図の太線の様な経路で含塵空気が集塵ユニット11内を通過し、図5で説明した様にまず外筒体12の外周の吸気路12Aより含塵空気が吸引され、その含塵空気が外筒体12の内壁に沿って回転上昇するサイクロン式の一次集塵室12Wとなっており、この一次集塵室12Wにおいて比較的粗い粉塵BD(大きい粉塵粒子)は遠心力で外筒体12の内壁に沿って回転しながら自重でダストバケット17内に落下して捕集される。比較的微細な粉塵SD(小さい粉塵粒子)は外筒体12の上部の上カバー14に設けた各開口部14A…より、内筒体13内部の二次集塵室、即ち、防爆型フィルタ1…に流入し、そこで各防爆型フィルタ1…の内部の金属多孔体5…の内部を通って吸引されるため、フィルタ濾材2の内壁において捕集されて、微細粉塵を含まない清浄空気が内筒体13の排気路13Aよりブロアー20に吸引され、集塵機10外部に排気される。   FIG. 7 is a detailed view of the main part of the explosion-proof dust collector according to the present invention. The operation during normal dust collection operation will be described. Dust-containing air passes through the dust collection unit 11 through the path shown by the thick line in the figure. As described with reference to FIG. 5, first, dust-containing air is sucked from the intake passage 12 </ b> A on the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 12, and the dust-containing air rotates and rises along the inner wall of the outer cylinder 12. In this primary dust collecting chamber 12W, relatively coarse dust BD (large dust particles) falls along with the inner wall of the outer cylindrical body 12 by centrifugal force and falls into the dust bucket 17 by its own weight. It is collected. Relatively fine dust SD (small dust particles) is collected in the secondary dust collection chamber inside the inner cylinder 13, that is, the explosion-proof filter 1 from each opening 14 </ b> A provided in the upper cover 14 at the upper part of the outer cylinder 12. , And is sucked through the inside of the porous metal body 5 inside each explosion-proof filter 1, so that it is collected on the inner wall of the filter medium 2, and clean air not containing fine dust is contained inside. The air is drawn into the blower 20 through the exhaust passage 13A of the cylinder 13 and exhausted to the outside of the dust collector 10.

この際に、円板15は開口部15Aが防爆型フィルタ1の上面口2Xと上カバー14の開口部14Aが同軸で連通する状態で停止しており、円板用モータ15Mも停止しているが、この位置を正確に決定するためのポジションセンサー若しくはスイッチが別途設けられており、その入力によって円板用モータ15Mを駆動から正確に停止させたり、ブローチューブ30からのパルス状のエアー噴出のタイミングを決定する制御部は、図示しないが集塵機10の内部に実装されている。   At this time, the disc 15 is stopped in a state where the opening 15A is coaxially connected to the upper opening 2X of the explosion-proof filter 1 and the opening 14A of the upper cover 14, and the disc motor 15M is also stopped. However, a position sensor or switch for accurately determining this position is separately provided, and the disk motor 15M is accurately stopped from driving by the input, or a pulsed air jet from the blow tube 30 is detected. A control unit that determines the timing is mounted inside the dust collector 10 (not shown).

通常の集塵運転をこの状態で継続しているうち、フィルタ濾材2の内壁側に捕集される小さい粉塵粒子SDが次第に堆積してきて、防爆型フィルタ1の目詰まりを起こすとブロアー20の吸引作用の効率が悪化してくるが、そのためにこの種のフィルタ式集塵機ではフィルタに機械的な振動を加えたり、パルスエアーをフィルタに作用させて堆積した小さい粉塵粒子を払い落とす「逆洗」運転を時おりおこなうのが常套手段である。   While normal dust collection operation is continued in this state, when the dust particles SD collected on the inner wall side of the filter medium 2 gradually accumulate and clog the explosion-proof filter 1, suction of the blower 20 is performed. The efficiency of the action deteriorates. For this reason, this type of filter type dust collector applies a mechanical vibration to the filter, or pulse air is applied to the filter to remove the accumulated small dust particles. It is a common practice to do this occasionally.

その払い落とし(逆洗)運転時に払い落とされた小さい粉塵粒子が「粉塵雲」として一次集塵室12Wや内筒体13の内部13Kに充満してしまうと、何らかのきっかけで火種がその粉塵雲に紛れて着火することで、次々に粉塵雲内の粉塵粒子が加熱・着火されて、粉塵爆発を引き起こす危険性がある。   If the small dust particles that have been wiped off during the removal (backwashing) operation fill the primary dust collection chamber 12W or the inside 13K of the inner cylinder 13 as a "dust cloud", the fire will be generated by the dust cloud for some reason. By igniting, the dust particles in the dust cloud are heated and ignited one after another, and there is a risk of causing a dust explosion.

そこで本発明の改善効果を図8に示した要部詳細図とともに説明すると、まず、払い落とし(逆洗)運転前には払い落としをおこなう防爆型フィルタ1の上面口2Xを塞ぐ様に、円板用モータ15Mにて可動蓋体としての円板15を回動させ、閉塞部15Sが正確にフィルタ上面口2Xを塞いだ位置で停止させると、ちょうどブローチューブ30の噴出口が防爆型フィルタ1の外周で、且つフィルタカバー16の内周に向けてパルスエアーが噴出できるよう開口した状態となる。この状態で図8の如くパルスエアーを噴出させて急激な圧力を防爆型フィルタ1の外部より内部に向けてパルス状に作用させることで、フィルタ濾材2の内壁に捕集されて堆積した小さい粉塵粒子SDは、フィルタ濾材2の内壁より払い落とされて金属多孔体5の内部の気孔部5Aの中で粉塵雲の状態になろうと浮遊しだす。   Therefore, the improvement effect of the present invention will be described with reference to a detailed view of the main part shown in FIG. 8. First, before the operation of back-off (backwashing), the upper surface 2X of the explosion-proof filter 1 that performs the back-off is closed. When the disk 15 as a movable lid is rotated by the plate motor 15M and stopped at the position where the closing portion 15S accurately closes the filter upper surface port 2X, the outlet of the blow tube 30 is exactly the explosion-proof filter 1. In an open state so that pulsed air can be ejected toward the inner periphery of the filter cover 16. In this state, as shown in FIG. 8, pulsed air is ejected and a sudden pressure is applied in a pulsed manner from the outside to the inside of the explosion-proof filter 1, thereby collecting small dust collected and accumulated on the inner wall of the filter medium 2. The particles SD are washed off from the inner wall of the filter medium 2 and float in the pores 5A inside the porous metal body 5 in a dust cloud state.

金属多孔体5の内部の気孔部5Aで浮遊した小さい粉塵粒子SDに着火および爆発が生じなければ、粉塵粒子は次第に自重で沈降するか、若しくは金属多孔体5の内部の気孔部5Aに堆積することになるが、金属多孔体5の内部の気孔部5Aに堆積した粉塵に対しても払い落とし(逆洗)による圧力や振動が作用するため、次第に浮遊する粉塵の密度が濃い状態になりながら、金属多孔体5の下方に沈降し、最終的にはその下のダストバケット17に落下することになる。   If ignition and explosion do not occur in the small dust particles SD suspended in the pores 5A inside the metal porous body 5, the dust particles gradually settle by their own weight or accumulate in the pores 5A inside the metal porous body 5. However, since the pressure and vibration caused by wiping off (back washing) also acts on the dust accumulated in the pores 5A inside the porous metal body 5, the density of the floating dust gradually becomes dense. Then, it settles below the metal porous body 5 and finally falls to the dust bucket 17 below it.

従ってフィルタ内部の金属多孔体5の内部の気孔部5Aでは、下に行くほど浮遊・堆積する粉塵が大きくて密度の濃い状態となっており、ダストバケット17に落下する段になればすでに粉塵雲の状態ではなく、比較的小さい粉塵粒子が固まって自重が増加して落下することになり、この時点では着火しても粉塵爆発の危険性は少ない状態となっている。   Accordingly, in the pore portion 5A inside the metal porous body 5 inside the filter, the dust that floats and accumulates becomes larger and denser as it goes down, and if it falls to the dust bucket 17, it becomes already a dust cloud. In this state, relatively small dust particles harden and their own weight increases and falls, and at this time, there is little risk of dust explosion even if ignited.

粉塵爆発は、粉塵雲状の集塵室では、個々の粉塵粒子間に空間距離が空き、個々の粉塵の周囲が酸素で満たされている状態の時に、個々の粉塵粒子が着火して燃焼(酸化)しても、その周辺の粉塵粒子の周囲にはその粉塵粒子を燃焼させるだけの酸素が存在する場合に、着火・加熱・着火の連鎖が伝播していくもので、ある程度の以上の粉塵濃度では一つの粉塵粒子が着火して燃焼したことで周囲の酸素が消費されてしまって伝播されないといった性質と、逆にある程度の粉塵濃度にならないと、粉塵粒子間に距離が空きすぎて加熱作用が周辺粒子まで及ばないために伝播されないという性質も知られている。   In a dust cloud-shaped dust collection chamber, dust explosions ignite and burn when individual dust particles ignite when there is a space between individual dust particles and the surroundings of each dust are filled with oxygen ( (Oxidation) Even if there is enough oxygen to burn the dust particles around the surrounding dust particles, the ignition / heating / ignition chain propagates. In terms of concentration, one dust particle ignites and burns, so the surrounding oxygen is consumed and not propagated. Conversely, if the dust concentration does not reach a certain level, the distance between the dust particles is too large and the heating action It is also known that it does not propagate because it does not reach the surrounding particles.

従って本発明の出願人は、粉塵雲が生じて粉塵爆発の危険性がある粉塵濃度の状況下にあっても加熱を妨げる対策を講じてやれば粉塵爆発に至らないことに着目し、その対策をヒートシンクでおこなうことを発明し、これを実現する手段を見出した。すなわち図9で示した本発明に係る防爆型集塵フィルタの粉塵爆発抑制効果の説明図の様に、図9(1)でまず何らかのきかっけで着火した粉塵粒子が金属多孔体5の気孔部5Aの内部に生じたとして、その熱は着火した粉塵粒子からの距離が離れるほど加熱作用は下がるが、前述の様にある程度の空間が空かないと燃焼する酸素が不足するために、実際に着火による加熱で着火が伝播する可能性のあるのは図9(1)の二点鎖線円(実際には空間であるが、モデルとして2次元で説明)付近の粒子に限られる。   Therefore, the applicant of the present invention pays attention to the fact that dust explosion does not result in dust explosion if measures are taken to prevent heating even under dust concentration conditions where dust clouds are generated and there is a risk of dust explosion. Has been invented in a heat sink, and a means for realizing this has been found. That is, as illustrated in the explanatory diagram of the dust explosion suppressing effect of the explosion-proof dust collecting filter according to the present invention shown in FIG. 9, the dust particles ignited by some cracks in FIG. As it occurs in the part 5A, the heating action decreases as the distance from the ignited dust particles increases, but if there is not a certain amount of space as described above, the oxygen to burn is insufficient. The possibility of ignition propagation due to heating by ignition is limited to particles in the vicinity of a two-dot chain line circle in FIG. 9A (which is actually a space but will be described in two dimensions as a model).

図9(1)では2つの粒子に加熱が及んで着火する条件が整い、それら2つの粒子に着火するが、その次には図9(2)で示すようにその着火による加熱に際して近傍に位置する金属多孔体5がヒートシンクとなって吸熱してしまうため、その後の加熱から着火への伝播が途絶えてしまうことになる。結果的には、仮に何らかのきっかけで粉塵が着火したとしても、図9で1点鎖線で示した金属多孔体5の気孔部5A(金属多孔体空間)の範囲より外へは着火による加熱での伝播が起こらず、粉塵爆発には至らないという現象が起こることを、本発明の出願人は実験により確認している。   In FIG. 9 (1), the two particles are heated and ignited, and the two particles are ignited. Next, as shown in FIG. Since the porous metal body 5 that acts as a heat sink absorbs heat, the propagation from subsequent heating to ignition is interrupted. As a result, even if dust is ignited for some reason, the outside of the pore portion 5A (metal porous body space) of the porous metal body 5 indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. The applicant of the present invention has confirmed through experiments that a phenomenon occurs in which no propagation occurs and no dust explosion occurs.

なお、図9では黒い菱形部分が金属多孔体5の骨格を示し、実際にはこの骨格同士は3次元的に連なっており、非常に大きな表面積と大きな熱容量を有している。また、材質は金属としているが、このような形状で効果を発揮させるには、金属以外にもセラミックなどの無機化合物でもよく、その素材の熱伝導率は大きいには越したことがないが、理論的には空気よりも熱伝導率の高い物質であれば、着火による加熱は多孔体の骨格の方に流れて吸熱されてヒートシンク効果が生じることになる。   In FIG. 9, the black rhombus portions indicate the skeleton of the porous metal body 5, and the skeletons are actually three-dimensionally connected and have a very large surface area and a large heat capacity. In addition, although the material is metal, in order to exert the effect in such a shape, an inorganic compound such as ceramic may be used besides the metal, and the thermal conductivity of the material has never exceeded, Theoretically, if the substance has a higher thermal conductivity than air, the heat by ignition flows toward the skeleton of the porous body and absorbs heat, resulting in a heat sink effect.

また、図2で示した気孔部5Aの寸法が3mm程度の実施例は、粒子径が3〜35μm程度の極めて着火しやすいチタンやマグネシウムやアルミニウムといった金属の加工時の切粉において、その吸熱効果による粉塵爆発の防止と、粉塵の堆積が圧縮エアーによる逆洗で払落しが可能なことが確認できたものであり、集塵する粉塵の性質や周辺環境や一次集塵室での集塵能力等によっても、この気孔寸法や金属多孔体を構成する物質の熱伝導度を適宜実験確認等おこないながら選択して構成すればよく、本発明の実施例を応用した安全な防爆型集塵フィルタ1ならびに集塵機10が安価に実現できる。   Further, in the embodiment in which the size of the pore portion 5A shown in FIG. It has been confirmed that dust explosion can be prevented by dust and dust accumulation can be removed by backwashing with compressed air. The nature of the dust collected, the surrounding environment, and the dust collection capacity in the primary dust collection chamber The pore size and the thermal conductivity of the material composing the metal porous body may be selected and configured while appropriately conducting experiments and the like, and a safe explosion-proof dust collecting filter 1 to which the embodiment of the present invention is applied. In addition, the dust collector 10 can be realized at low cost.

また、本発明の実施例で示した円筒フィルタを、平板上のフィルタとして金属多孔体5を平面上で多層構造とするといった応用も可能であり、さらに逆洗のタイミングは複数の円筒フィルタにおいて集塵運転している最中であっても、一箇所のみ円板の蓋で密閉して払い落とし(逆洗)運転することも可能であり、連続運転による集塵作業の長時間継続が可能であり、他の発明例の様に微細粉塵が堆積した2次側フィルタをそのまま収集して廃棄するようなこともなく、ランニングコストの低減にも役立つ。   In addition, the cylindrical filter shown in the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a flat plate filter and the metal porous body 5 to have a multilayer structure on a plane, and the backwash timing is collected in a plurality of cylindrical filters. Even during dust operation, it is possible to seal off only one place with a disc lid and perform operation (backwashing), which enables continuous dust collection work for a long time. There is no need to collect and discard the secondary filter on which fine dust is accumulated as in the case of the other invention examples, and it is useful for reducing running costs.

さらに、ダストバケット17内に収集した粉塵の再着火を防止する前記特許文献1の吸熱機能の様な技術を組み合わせたり、フィルタ1から落下する粉塵をすぐさま押し固めて安全性を高めることも可能であり、一次集塵用のバケットと二次集塵用のバケットを分離して一次側から二次側への火種の流入を防止する手段なども適宜組みあわせることで、さらなる安全性の向上が可能である。   Furthermore, it is possible to combine the technology such as the heat absorption function of Patent Document 1 for preventing re-ignition of the dust collected in the dust bucket 17 or to immediately press and solidify the dust falling from the filter 1 to enhance safety. Yes, it is possible to further improve safety by combining the primary dust collection bucket and the secondary dust collection bucket to prevent the inflow of fire from the primary side to the secondary side. It is.
