Abstract

An industrial dust collector comprises mainly a base, a guide box, a motor, a suction fan, a suction hose, a filtration bag, a dust bag, and a pre-filtering means disposed between the guide box and the suction hose so as to filter out the objects considerably greater in size and weight than the dust in order to prevent such objects from damaging the suction fan and the dust bag.

Claims

1. An industrial dust collector comprising:

(a) a base;

(b) a guide box of hollow construction disposed on said base and provided with an air inlet, an air outlet, and a dust collecting port, said air inlet and said dust collecting port being arranged opposite to each other;

(c) a motor fastened to said guide box and provided with a driving shaft extending into said guide box;

(d) a suction fan disposed in said guide box and fastened to said driving shaft;

(e) a filtration bag fastened at the opening thereof to said air outlet of said guide box;

(f) a dust bag fastened at the opening thereof to said dust collecting port of said guide box and located correspondingly to said filtration bag; and

(g) pre-filtering means disposed between said air inlet and a suction hose connected to a dust collecting port of an upper housing of said pre-filtering means

to prevent objects greater in size and weight than dust from being drawn into said guide box.

2. An industrial dust collector according to claim 1, wherein said pre-filtering means comprising an upper housing has an opening which joins with an opening of a lower housing of said pre-filtering device.

3. An industrial dust collector according to claim 2, wherein said pre-filtering means comprises an air exit and an air inlet, said air exit being in communication with said air inlet of said guide box.

4. An industrial dust collector according to claim 3, wherein said air exit of said pre-filtering means is axially spaced apart with said air inlet of said pre-filtering means.

5. An industrial dust collector according to claim 3, wherein said air exit and said air inlet of said pre-filtering means are axially perpendicular to each other.

6. An industrial dust collector according to claim 3, wherein said pre-filtering means comprises a curved surface of a length disposed on an inner edge thereof.

7. An industrial dust collector according to claim 3, wherein said pre-filtering means comprises a curved surface of a length and a plane surface of a length disposed respectively on an inner edge thereof.

8. An industrial dust collector according to claim 7, wherein said curved surface is axially opposite to said air inlet of said pre-filtering means.

9. An industrial dust collector according to claim 7, wherein said plane surface is axially opposite to said air inlet of said pre-filtering means.

10. An industrial dust collector according to claim 7, wherein said curved surface is axially parallel to said air exit of said pre-filtering.

11. An industrial dust collector according to claim 1, wherein said pre-filtering means comprises a transparent window on a periphery thereof.

12. An industrial dust collector according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of locking elements having a first locking portion fastened to said guide box and having a second locking portion fastened to said pre-filtering means.

13. An industrial dust collector according to claim 2, wherein said upper housing comprises at the opening end thereof a first connection means, and wherein said lower housing comprises at the opening end thereof a second connection means joined with said first connection means of said upper housing.

14. An industrial dust collector according to claim 13, wherein said first connection means comprises a plurality of locking pieces having a locking end fastened to said upper housing and having a curved hooking end extending downwardly, and wherein said second connection means is disposed on the flange located at the outer edge of said opening end of said lower housing to permit said flange to set across an inner side of said hooking end.
