Embodiment approach 1

[0040] Fig. 1 shows a schematic structure of a fan filter unit according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and is a front view showing a state in which a part of the filter is cut away. Figure 2 is a block diagram of its circuit. This fan filter unit has a first fan motor 5A, a second fan motor 5B and a filter 6 . The fan motor 5A is composed of the first fan 2A, the first motor 3A and the first motor driver 4A, and the fan motor 5B is composed of the second fan 2B, the second motor 3B and the second motor driver 4B. The filter 6 serves to clean the air delivered by the fans 2A, 2B. The filter 6 is made of, for example, glass fibers, and captures micron-order fine particles with high efficiency. More specifically, the filter 6 traps fine particles of 0.3 μm with a collection efficiency of 99.97% or more. The filter 6 is arranged on the blowing side or the suction side of the fans 2A, 2B.

Embodiment approach 2

[0052] Fig. 3 is a circuit block diagram of the fan filter unit according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The structure of this embodiment differs from the structure of Embodiment 1 in that a stabilization unit 16 is provided between a comparator 31 and a rotational speed synchronous control unit (hereinafter referred to as a control unit) 11 in a main body control unit 73 . Other configurations are the same as those of Embodiment 1.

[0053] The stabilizing unit 16 disables the function of the control unit 11 until the preparatory operation for a predetermined time has elapsed. Stabilizing unit 16 prevents control unit 11 from functioning in the time zone when the detected rotational speed of fan motors 5A, 5B is unstable when fan motors 5A, 5B are just starting to operate or when the rotational speed fluctuates instantaneously. The stabilization unit 16 is also constituted by a microcomputer or the like.

[0054] That is to say, for example, in the case where the...

Embodiment approach 3

[0058] Fig. 4 is a circuit block diagram of the fan filter unit according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The configuration of this embodiment differs from that of Embodiment 1 in that a retry unit 19 is provided in the main body control unit 74 . Other configurations are the same as those of Embodiment 1. The retry unit 19 is also constituted by a microcomputer or the like.

[0059] The retry unit 19 has a retry function, and when the rotational speed synchronous control unit (hereinafter referred to as the control unit) 11 continuously performs the rotational speed synchronous control for a predetermined time, it performs trial control so that the rotational speed of the fans 2A, 2B is equal to the rotational speed setting. The set speed of the part 8 is the same.

[0060] When an important process is performed in a clean room with a fan filter unit, stopping the fan motors 5A, 5B may significantly reduce the productivity of the process. Therefore, it is desirab...

Abstract

A fan filter unit comprises a plurality of fan motors, a plurality of detecting sections, a body control section, and a filter. Each fan motor includes a fan and a motor. The body control section performs feedback control of each fan motor so that its detection rotation speed coincides with a set rotation speed based on a rotation speed detected at the detecting section. When a rotation speed detection value at any detecting section is smaller than that at other detecting sections, rotation speed synchronization control is carried out for matching the rotation speed of other fan motors to that of the fan motor of slow rotation speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fan filter unit used in a clean room or the like requiring a clean space for manufacturing semiconductors, liquid crystals, plasma display panels, and the like. Background technique [0002] For the fan filter unit, it is required to be thin, the area of ​​the clean air outlet should be large, and the ability to supply a uniform and sufficient air volume is required. Therefore, multiple fan motors are used. However, buzzing sounds may be generated when multiple fan motors are used. [0003] As a method of suppressing generation of humming sound, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-205095 discloses a technique of precisely controlling the rotation speeds (hereinafter referred to as rotation speeds) of a plurality of electric motors per unit time. [0004] In the fan filter unit with a plurality of fan motors, in the control of the existing technology for suppressing buzzing, the speed of the second fan mo...
