Abstract

A wet type dust collector for air purifying according to an embodiment of the present invention can efficiently cool polluted air and remove sludge because it is designed to be able to continuously cool polluted air from the outside with cooling water, which is cooled and circulated, and to remove sludge and foreign substances.

Claims

1. A wet type dust collector for air purifying, comprising:

a case that forms the outer shape of a collector and receives cooling water;

a cooler that cools cooling water that is guided by a cooling pipe connected with the case;

a blower that is disposed outside the blower and forcible takes and sends polluted-air inside;

a blower pipe that is connected with an outlet of the blower and guides the sent polluted-air into the case;

a spray nozzle that is connected with the cooling pipe, disposed in the blower pipe, and sprays cooling water to the polluted-air flowing in the blower pipe;

an air spray unit that is connected to the lower end of the blower pipe and distributes the polluted-air discharged through the blower pipe to be discharged in contact with the surface of the cooling water;

an auxiliary cooling assembly that is disposed over the air spray unit, has a porous structure forming a cooling water film with the cooling water sprayed from the outside, and cools again the polluted-air moving upward;

a filter assembly that is disposed over the auxiliary cooling assembly and filters foreign substances and sludge in the polluted-air; and

an air discharge port that is disposed over the case and forms a passage through which the polluted-air passing through the filter assembly is discharged to the outside.

2. The wet type dust collector of claim 1, wherein a plurality of photo-catalytic purifying units is disposed in the air discharge port to sterilize and deodorize the polluted-air, using a photo-catalytic reaction.

3. The wet type dust collector of claim 2, wherein the photo-catalytic purifying units are sequentially arranged with regular intervals and the polluted-air sequentially passes through the photo-catalytic purifying units.

4. The wet type dust collector of claim 2, wherein the photo-catalytic purifying unit includes:

photo-catalytic plates formed by coating a copper plate with titanium dioxide and having air holes through which air passes and guides that are bent at an angle at one end of the air holes and guides the air passing through the air holes; and

ultraviolet lamps disposed on one side of the photo-catalytic plates.

5. The wet type dust collector of claim 1, wherein an air purifying unit including a plurality of photo-catalytic purifying units for sterilizing and deodorizing the polluted-air, using a photo-catalytic reaction, communicates with the air discharge port outside the case.

6. The wet type dust collector of claim 5, wherein the photo-catalytic purifying units are sequentially arranged with regular intervals and the polluted-air sequentially passes through the photo-catalytic purifying units.

7. The wet type dust collector of claim 5, wherein the photo-catalytic purifying unit includes:

photo-catalytic plates formed by coating a copper plate with titanium dioxide and having air holes through which air passes and guides that are bent at an angle at one end of the air holes and guides the air passing through the air holes; and

ultraviolet lamps disposed on one side of the photo-catalytic plates.

8. The wet type dust collector of claim 7, wherein the guides are arranged to cross each other on adjacent photo-catalytic plates so that the flow path of air is elongated, in the photo-catalytic purifying units sequentially arranged.

9. The wet type dust collector of claim 5, wherein the air purifying unit includes,

a purifying unit case being in contact with the case and a separation plate dividing the inside of the purifying unit case into a plurality of spaces to form channels for polluted-air;

and

a plurality of photo-catalytic purifying units are arranged with regular intervals in the divided spaces.

10. The wet type dust collector of claim 1, wherein a vortex plate that is formed in the shape of an inclined plate and that polluted-air flowing upward hits against and goes around is disposed between the air spray unit and the auxiliary cooling assembly.

11. The wet type dust collector of claim 10, wherein the vortex plate includes a first vortex plate mounted around the inner side of the case and inclined toward the inside and a second vortex plate fitted on the blower pipe over the first vortex plate and inclined outward to cross the first vortex plate.

12. The wet type dust collector of claim 1, wherein the air spray unit has a connecting portion connected with the blower pipe, branches extending laterally from the connecting portion, and a spraying portion communicating with the ends of the branches, formed around the inner side of the case, and having a plurality of outlets at the bottom through which polluted-air is discharged.

13. The wet type dust collector of claim 12, wherein a guide plate that is inclined under the spraying portion and that the polluted-air discharged from the outlets hits against.

14. The wet type dust collector of claim 1, wherein the air spray unit has bending portions extending outward at an angle from the end of the blower pipe, guides disposed in the bending portions at a predetermined distance from the bending portions, and bottoms that are disposed horizontally under the guide and that the polluted-air discharged to the channels formed by the bending portions and the guides hits against.

15. The wet type dust collector of claim 1, wherein a water supply valve that supplies water from the outside of the case and a cooling discharge valve that discharges stored cooling water are disposed in the case so that the cooling water can maintain a predetermined level being in contact with the air spray unit.

16. The wet type dust collector of claim 1, wherein a heater for heating cooling water is disposed under the case and cooling water supplied through the cooling pipe is cooled by a refrigeration cycle of the cooler and maintained at a predetermined temperature.

17. The wet type dust collector of claim 1, wherein ozone lamps that sterilize the cooling water are disposed under the case.

18. The wet type dust collector of claim 1, wherein the bottom of the case receiving the cooling water is inclined and a sludge discharge valve for discharging sludge sinking in the cooling water is disposed at the lower end of the case.
