DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A dust collection system comprising:
- a housing defining a cavity therewithin, the housing including a plurality of inlets and at least one outlet for gas;
a plurality of movable elements for opening and closing the inlets, the movable elements being respectively provided corresponding to each of the inlets;
a gas flow generating device for generating a gas flow from each of the inlets to the outlet during the opening operation of the movable elements; and
a flow path control device for controlling the flow paths of the gas flow;
wherein the gas flow generating device generating gas flows by introducing the gas outside of the housing from each of the inlets, andwherein each of the gas flows is controlled by the flow path control device so as to avoid interference from the adjacent movable elements.

Abstract
An aspect of embodiments of the invention is to lower fluid resistance applied to gas flow (A, S) flowing within a dust collection system (1) so as to enhance dust collection efficiency of the dust collection system (1) without depending on the number or the two dimensional arrangement of movable elements (40) within the system (1). Embodiments of the dust collection system (1) of the invention includes: a housing (10) defining a cavity (50) therewithin, the housing (10) having a plurality of inlets (53) and at least one outlet (57) for gas; a plurality of movable elements (40) for opening and closing the inlets (53), the movable elements (40) being respectively provided corresponding to each of the inlets (53); a gas flow generating device (20) for generating a gas flow (A, S) from each of the inlets (53) to the outlet (57) during the opening operation of the movable elements (40); and a flow path control device (13) for controlling the flow paths of the gas flow (A, S).

11. A dust collection system comprising:
-
a housing defining a cavity therewithin, the housing including a plurality of inlets and at least one outlet for gas; a plurality of movable elements for opening and closing the inlets, each of the movable elements being provided corresponding to each of the inlets; a partition wall separating the cavity within the housing into a first cavity in which the movable elements are disposed and a second cavity having the outlet, the partition wall further including a plurality of communicating holes for communicating the first cavity with the second cavity; and a gas flow generating device for generating an air flow flowing from each of the inlets to the outlet during the opening operation of the movable element; wherein the movable element is constructed and arranged to open one of the plurality of inlets, which is disposed within an area corresponding to a dust-collected subject passing over the housing, further wherein the gas flow generated by the gas flow generating device flows in an order of the opened inlet, the first cavity, the communicating hole, the second cavity and the outlet so as to be exhausted out of the housing.
