[0029] The following is a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0031] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "up, down, top, bottom" are usually used to describe the relative positions of components in the directions shown in the drawings or in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions.

[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the dust collecting device provided in this embodiment includes a dust box 1; an air suction mechanism, which includes a hood 21, a fan 6 and an air guide tube 22. The hood 21 is mounted on the outer wall of the dust box 1, and the fan 6 is located inside the hood 21. The air inlet of the fan 6 is connected to the interior of the dust box 1, and the air outlet of the fan 22 is connected to the interior of the hood 21. The hood 21 is in the shape of a tube with one end open and the other end closed. The air guide tube 22 is tangentially connected to the side of the hood 21 and is connected to the interior of the hood 21.

[0034] The noise reduction mechanism includes a silencer 4 and a silencer cover 3. The silencer 4 is connected to the air duct 22. A plurality of first air outlet holes 41 are provided on the wall of the silencer 4. A plurality of second air outlet holes 42 are provided on the bottom of the silencer 4. The silencer cover 4 is located on the outer periphery of the silencer 4. There is a distance between the silencer cover 3 and the silencer 4. The silencer cover 3 is installed on the air duct 22.

[0035] The dust collecting device provided in this embodiment allows air to be discharged smoothly from the wind hood by providing an air guide duct tangentially connected to the side of the wind hood. Compared with the method of discharging air from the wind hood along the axial direction, this method avoids the noise generated by air turbulence. In addition, after the air enters the silencer from the air guide duct, most of it flows toward the bottom of the silencer, and a small part flows toward the wall of the silencer. The air flows out of the silencer through the second air outlet provided at the bottom of the silencer, avoiding the air directly hitting the bottom of the silencer and forming turbulence after reflection. After the air flows out of the silencer through the first air outlet, it is reflected and scattered in the space between the silencer hood and the silencer, further slowing down the flow rate.

[0036] The fan may be an axial flow fan, for example. The fan housing is cylindrical, the air guide is tangent to the circumference of the fan housing, and the axial direction of the air guide may be vertical, front-back, or oblique, depending on the spatial arrangement within the workstation.

[0037] A front rubber pad 72 is provided between the dust box 1 and the end face of the fan head 61 . The outer wall of the dust box 1 is provided with an inner cylinder 11 communicating with the interior of the dust box. The front rubber pad 72 is provided with a sealing groove 721 for the end of the inner cylinder 11 to be embedded.

[0038] By providing a front rubber pad between the dust box and the end face of the fan head, the noise generated by the fan vibration can be reduced. In this embodiment, by further providing a sealing groove on the front rubber pad, the fan is tightly connected to the dust box through the inner cylinder, and no air leakage occurs during the operation of the fan.

[0039] The front rubber pad 72 wraps the end face and side face of the fan head 61, and the side wall of the fan cover 21 is radially recessed outward to form a second limiting shell 212. The front rubber pad 72 is provided with a second limiting block 722 embedded in the second limiting shell 212. The bottom of the second limiting shell 212 is provided with a wiring hole for the line to pass through. The bottom of the second limiting shell 212 is also provided with a through groove 213 connected to the wiring hole. Figure 6 As shown, the wiring hole and the through slot have been connected into one.

[0040] The sealing groove is provided at the portion where the front rubber pad wraps around the end face of the fan head, and the second limiting block is provided at the portion where the front rubber pad wraps around the side face of the fan head. This embodiment can prevent the front rubber pad from rotating circumferentially relative to the wind shield by providing the second limiting shell and the second limiting block. The second limiting shell extends along the axial direction of the wind shield to the space at the tail of the fan, and the fan circuit is led out from the tail of the fan. By providing a wiring hole at the bottom of the second limiting hole, the fan circuit can be easily passed through. Figure 10 As shown, the side wall of the fan tail 62 is provided with a terminal 623, and one end of the line is connected to the terminal 623. Figure 11 As shown, the second limiting block 722 of the front rubber pad 72 is provided with a wiring groove 724 and a wiring hole 723. The wiring passes through the wiring groove 724 and wiring hole 723 on the second limiting block 722 and finally passes through the wiring hole at the bottom of the second limiting shell 212. This embodiment further provides a through slot to facilitate demolding of the air hood.

[0041] The outer wall of the dust box 1 is provided with an outer cylinder 12, which is located on the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 11. The end of the outer cylinder 12 abuts the front rubber pad 72. The outer wall of the outer cylinder 12 is provided with a rib plate 121 extending along the axial direction, and the wind cover 21 is sleeved on the rib plate 121.

[0042] A first screw column is provided on the outer wall of the dust box, and a first support 211 is provided at the end of the open end of the air cover 21. A first positioning hole is provided in the first support for the first screw column to extend into. The fastener passes through the first support and is connected to the first screw column to fix the air cover 21 on the dust box 1.

[0043] If the outer circumferential wall of the outer cylinder were in direct surface contact with the inner wall of the hood, it would be difficult to machine a smooth surface due to the large contact area. This embodiment, by providing ribs on the outer circumferential wall of the outer cylinder, creates linear contact between the outer cylinder and the hood. This not only improves the positioning accuracy between the hood and outer cylinder, but also reduces the difficulty of machining the outer cylinder and hood. Furthermore, by also abutting the end of the outer cylinder against the front rubber pad, this embodiment ensures that the fan is in contact with both the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, making it less likely to tip over during installation.

[0044] A rear rubber pad 71 is provided between the end face of the fan tail 62 and the wind cover 21, and a first circumferential limit hole 213 is provided on the bottom wall of the wind cover 21. A first circumferential limit block 713 extending into the first circumferential limit hole 213 is provided on the rear rubber pad 71. The first circumferential limit hole 213 is in the shape of a cone, and the shape of the first circumferential limit hole 213 is adapted to the first circumferential limit block 713. A second circumferential limit hole 621 is provided on the bottom wall of the tail of the fan 6, and a second circumferential limit block 711 extending into the second circumferential limit hole 621 is provided; a positioning groove 712 is provided on the side of the middle part of the rear rubber pad 71 close to the fan 6, and a positioning column 622 extending into the positioning groove 712 is provided at the tail of the fan 6.

[0045] The first circumferential limiting hole 213 has a square cross-section, while the second circumferential limiting hole 621 has an arc-shaped cross-section. The first circumferential limiting hole and the first circumferential limiting block cooperate to prevent the rear rubber pad from circumferentially rotating relative to the fan housing. The second circumferential limiting hole and the second circumferential limiting block cooperate to prevent the rear rubber pad from circumferentially rotating relative to the fan. The first circumferential limiting hole and the first circumferential limiting block are frustoconical in shape, preventing axial movement of the rear rubber pad.

[0046] The fan 6 is stepped and includes a fan head 61 with a large outer diameter and a fan tail 62 with a small outer diameter. A sponge 8 is provided between the side wall of the fan tail and the wind cover. The fan outlet is provided on the side wall of the fan tail 62. The air guide tube 22 is provided close to the air outlet of the fan 6. An air outlet channel connecting the air outlet of the fan 6 and the air guide tube 22 is provided in the sponge 8.

[0047] By setting the sponge, the flow rate of the air that is not discharged through the air guide tube can be slowed down, and the noise generated by this part of the air during the flow process can be reduced.

[0048] The silencer 4 includes an open portion 44, a guide portion 45, a cylinder wall portion 46 and a cylinder bottom portion 47. The guide portion 45 is in a cone shape, connecting the open portion 44 and the upper end of the cylinder wall portion 46. The cylinder bottom portion 47 covers the lower end of the cylinder wall portion 46. A first diversion hole 43 is provided on the guide portion 45, a first air outlet hole 41 is provided on the cylinder wall portion 46, and a second air outlet hole 42 is provided on the cylinder bottom portion 47.

[0049] In this embodiment, a guide portion is provided on the silencer, and a first diversion hole is provided on the guide portion, so that the air flows out of the silencer through the second air outlet hole on the wall of the silencer and the first diversion hole on the guide portion, thereby reducing the amount of air flowing out through the first air outlet hole at the bottom of the tube, avoiding a large amount of air hitting the bottom of the tube and reflecting to generate turbulence, thereby generating noise.

[0050] The silencer 3 includes an opening portion 33, a cover body portion 34, a contraction portion 35 and an air outlet portion 36. The contraction portion 35 is in a cone shape. The opening portion 33 is connected to the upper end of the cover body portion 34. The contraction portion 35 is connected to the lower end of the cover body portion 34 and the upper end of the air outlet portion 36. The cover body portion 34 and the air outlet portion 36 are cylindrical, and a plurality of second diversion holes are provided on the contraction portion 36.

[0051] A second support 32 is provided on the periphery of the opening portion 33, and a second screw column 221 is provided on the periphery of the air outlet end of the air duct 22. The second support 32 is provided with a second positioning hole for the second screw column 221 to extend into, and a fastener passes through the second support 32 and is connected to the second screw column 221 to install the silencer 3 on the air duct 22.

[0052] In this embodiment, a second diversion hole is provided on the second contraction portion, so that part of the sound waves entering the silencer cover are discharged through the second diversion hole instead of being discharged all through the air outlet portion, thereby diverting the sound waves once and further reducing noise.

[0053] The air outlet of the muffler cover 3 is provided with an exhaust pipe 92, which is a flexible hose with a corrugated shape. In this embodiment, by configuring the exhaust pipe as a flexible hose and configuring the hose as a corrugated shape, i.e., the inner wall of the exhaust pipe has multiple concave and convex folds, the speed of sound waves can be further slowed down, the energy of sound waves can be weakened, and thus noise can be reduced.

[0054] The workstation provided in this embodiment includes a frame, a docking cavity is provided at the lower part of the frame; the above-mentioned dust collecting device; and a dust collecting duct, the dust collecting duct 91 connects the dust outlet and the dust inlet, the dust outlet is provided on the dust box 1, and the dust inlet is provided on the cavity wall of the docking cavity.

[0055] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction.
