[0028] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a cotton lint removal system, including a removal device. The removal device includes a corona electrode 1 and an anode filter grid 2. The corona electrode 1 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of a power supply, and the anode filter grid 2 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of a power supply. An electronic igniter 3 is disposed between the corona electrode 1 and the anode filter grid 2. After the cotton lint flows through the interior of the corona electrode 1, it is adsorbed by the anode filter grid 2, and the electronic igniter 3 ignites the cotton lint.
[0031] The corona electrode 1 is made of copper-plated low-carbon steel wire and is wrapped around the inner wall of the air duct 10. During operation, the power supply is supplied to the corona electrode 1. Since the corona electrode 1 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the power supply, the corona electrode 1 becomes negatively charged after being energized, and a high-voltage electric field is formed inside the corona electrode 1. The air flowing through the high-voltage electric field is ionized into positive ions and negative ions. When the cotton fibers in the air flow through the high-voltage electric field, they will capture the negative ions.
[0032] The anode filter grid 2 is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, which has advantages such as high structural strength and good electrical conductivity. During operation, the power supply is applied to the anode filter grid 2. Since the anode filter grid 2 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, its surface becomes positively charged after being energized. The cotton fibers in the air capture negative ions, making them negatively charged. According to the principle that positive and negative charges attract each other, under the action of the electric field, the cotton fibers move towards the anode filter grid 2 and are adsorbed onto its surface.
[0033] Multiple electronic igniters 3 are provided and evenly distributed on the outer side near the anode filter grid 2. After the anode filter grid 2 adsorbs cotton fibers, the electronic igniters 3 are powered on, and the electronic igniters 3 release a high-voltage electric arc to the surface of the anode filter grid 2. Since the cotton fibers adsorbed on the anode filter grid 2 are statically charged, the cotton fibers can be instantly ignited by the electronic igniters 3.
[0034] This embodiment of a cotton lint removal system includes a removal device comprising a corona electrode 1 and an anode filter grid 2. The corona electrode 1 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of a power supply, and the anode filter grid 2 is electrically connected to the positive terminal. An electronic igniter 3 is disposed between the corona electrode 1 and the anode filter grid 2. After cotton lint flows through the interior of the corona electrode 1, it is adsorbed by the anode filter grid 2, and the electronic igniter 3 ignites the cotton lint. Power is supplied to the corona electrode 1, making it negatively charged and creating a high-voltage electric field inside the corona electrode 1. This ionizes the air flowing through the corona electrode 1 into positive and negative ions, which the cotton lint carrying is captured by. Simultaneously, power is supplied to the anode filter grid 2, making it positively charged and adsorbing the cotton lint carrying negative ions. The electronic igniter 3 ignites the cotton lint adsorbed on the anode filter grid 2. In the above process, through the cooperation of the corona electrode 1 and the anode filter grid 2, the anode filter grid 2 can directly collect cotton fibers in the air and use the electronic igniter 3 to ignite the cotton fibers, thus avoiding the clogging of the cotton fibers and achieving the purpose of automatically cleaning the cotton fibers.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a cotton lint removal system, including a removal device. The removal device includes a corona electrode 1 and an anode filter grid 2. The corona electrode 1 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of a power supply, and the anode filter grid 2 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of a power supply. An electronic igniter 3 is disposed between the corona electrode 1 and the anode filter grid 2. After the cotton lint flows through the interior of the corona electrode 1, it is adsorbed by the anode filter grid 2, and the electronic igniter 3 ignites the cotton lint.
[0037] The electronic igniter 3 includes a first metal plate 6, with a first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and a second piezoelectric ceramic 5 connected to both sides of the first metal plate 6 respectively; a high-voltage electric arc is transmitted from the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 to the first metal plate 6.
[0038] A triggering device 8 is connected to the side of the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 away from the first metal sheet 6. The triggering device 8 is used to squeeze the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 to generate the high-voltage electric arc.
[0039] The first metal sheet 6 is connected to a high-voltage lead 9, and the high-voltage arc is transmitted from the first metal sheet 6 to the high-voltage lead 9. The high-voltage lead 9 is used to release the high-voltage arc to the anode filter grid 2.
[0040] The electronic igniter 3 also includes a second metal sheet 7, which is connected to the side of the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 away from the first metal sheet 6.
[0041] The electronic igniter 3 also includes a housing, within which a first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and a second piezoelectric ceramic 5 are disposed. The first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 have the characteristics of good stability, short response time, and high output voltage. Preferably, the first metal sheet 6 is a phosphor bronze sheet. The first metal sheet 6 is located between the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5.
[0042] When the electronic igniter 3 is powered on, the triggering device 8 simultaneously strikes the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5. A closed circuit is formed between the first piezoelectric ceramic 4, the second piezoelectric ceramic 5, the first metal sheet 6, and the second metal sheet 7. The first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 generate a high-voltage arc after being compressed by the triggering device 8. This high-voltage arc is transmitted from the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 to the high-voltage lead 9. The first end of the high-voltage lead 9 is connected to the first metal sheet 6, and the second end of the high-voltage lead 9 is close to the anode filter grid 2. The high-voltage arc is released through the high-voltage lead 9 to the surface of the anode filter grid 2, generating heat on the surface of the anode filter grid 2. This heat ignites the cotton fibers adsorbed on the surface of the anode filter grid 2, turning the cotton fibers into ash.
[0043] The electronic igniter 3 of this embodiment includes a first metal plate 6, with a first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and a second piezoelectric ceramic 5 connected to its two sides respectively. A high-voltage arc is transmitted from the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 to the first metal plate 6. A triggering device 8 is connected to the side of the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 away from the first metal plate 6. The triggering device 8 is used to compress the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5, causing them to generate the high-voltage arc. A high-voltage lead 9 is connected to the first metal plate 6, and the high-voltage arc is transmitted from the first metal plate 6 to the high-voltage lead 9. The high-voltage lead 9 is used to release the high-voltage arc to the anode filter grid 2. The electronic igniter 3 also includes a second metal plate 7, which is connected to the side of the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 away from the first metal plate 6. When the electronic igniter 3 is powered on, the triggering device 8 squeezes the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5, forming a closed circuit between the first piezoelectric ceramic 4, the second piezoelectric ceramic 5, the first metal sheet 6, and the second metal sheet 7. The squeezed first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 generate a high-voltage arc. The high-voltage arc is transmitted from the first piezoelectric ceramic 4 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 5 to the first metal sheet 6, and from the first metal sheet 6 to the high-voltage lead 9. The high-voltage arc is released to the surface of the anode filter grid 2 through the high-voltage lead 9, igniting the cotton fibers adsorbed on the surface of the anode filter grid 2, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically removing cotton fibers.
[0044] Example 3
[0045] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a cotton lint removal system. The removal device includes a corona electrode 1 and an anode filter grid 2. The corona electrode 1 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the power supply, and the anode filter grid 2 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply. An electronic igniter 3 is provided between the corona electrode 1 and the anode filter grid 2. After the cotton lint flows through the interior of the corona electrode 1, it is adsorbed by the anode filter grid 2, and the electronic igniter 3 ignites the cotton lint.
[0046] It also includes an air duct device 21, which includes an air duct 10. The first end of the air duct 10 has an air inlet 11. The air inlet 11 is connected to the roller 20 of the dry cleaning machine 17. The cleaning device is disposed inside the air duct 10 and close to the air inlet 11.
[0047] The corona electrode 1 includes multiple corona electrodes 1, which extend along the axial direction of the air duct 10 and are arranged around the inner wall of the air duct 10 and close to the air inlet 11.
[0048] The anode filter grid 2 is disposed inside the air duct 10. The anode filter grid 2 is located on the side of the electronic igniter 3 away from the air inlet 11. The outer side of the anode filter grid 2 abuts against the inner wall of the air duct 10.
[0049] The air duct device 21 also includes a fan blade 12, and the air duct 10 is installed below the fan blade 12. The fan blade 12 is connected to the air duct 10. A motor 13 is connected to the side of the fan blade 12 away from the air duct 10. The motor 13 is used to drive the fan blade 12 to rotate.
[0050] An air outlet 14 is provided at the second end of the air duct 10. The air outlet 14 is located near the door seal 24 of the dry cleaning machine 17 and is connected to the drum 20 of the dry cleaning machine 17. An electric heating device is provided near the air outlet 14 and is used to heat the air.
[0051] The electric heating device includes a bent electric heating tube 15, which extends from the first side wall of the air duct 10 to the second side wall of the air duct 10; a temperature limiter 16 is provided on the outside of the air duct 10, and the electric heating tube 15 is connected to the temperature limiter 16.
[0052] Preferably, multiple corona electrodes 1 are connected end to end, and power is supplied to the corona electrodes 1 to form a high-voltage electric field inside the corona electrodes 1. The high-voltage electric field ionizes the air flowing through the corona electrodes 1 into positive ions and negative ions. The cotton fibers in the air absorb the negative ions and become negatively charged. Under the action of the electric field, the negatively charged cotton fibers move towards the anode filter grid 2.
[0053] Preferably, the anode filter grid 2 is mesh-like and circular, with its outer side abutting against the inner wall of the air duct 10. The anode filter grid 2 adsorbs lint from the air and blocks foam from entering the air duct 10 from the air inlet 11, causing the foam in the air duct 10 to remain on the surface of the anode filter grid 2.
[0054] Preferably, four electronic igniters 3 are evenly distributed on the outer side near the anode filter grid 2. The four electronic igniters 3 work simultaneously to ignite the cotton fibers adsorbed on the surface of the anode filter grid 2, so as to thoroughly clean all the cotton fibers.
[0055] When motor 13 starts, it drives fan blade 12 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. As fan blade 12 rotates, it draws air and lint from the drum 20 of the dry cleaning machine 17 into the duct 10 through the air inlet 11. After flowing through the high-voltage electric field formed by the energized corona electrode 1, the lint is attracted by the anode filter grid 2. The electronic igniter 3 ignites the lint attracted to the anode filter grid 2, turning it into ash. The ash particles are small and can pass directly through the anode filter grid 2 with the air, continuing to move towards the air outlet 14. When the ash moves along the duct 10 to the vicinity of the electric heating tube 15, the electric heating tube 15 heats the ash and air together. The temperature limiter 16 controls the heating power of the electric heating tube 15 to control the temperature of the heated air and ash. The heated ash and air then enter the drum 20 of the dry cleaning machine 17 through the air outlet 14.
[0056] The lint removal system of this embodiment also includes an air duct device 21, which includes an air duct 10. An air inlet 11 is provided at the first end of the air duct 10, and the air inlet 11 communicates with the roller 20 of the dry cleaning machine 17. The cleaning device is disposed inside the air duct 10 and close to the air inlet 11. Multiple corona electrodes 1 are included, extending along the axial direction of the air duct 10 and surrounding the inner wall of the air duct 10, close to the air inlet 11. The anode filter grid 2 is disposed inside the air duct 10, located on the side of the electronic igniter 3 away from the air inlet 11, and the outer side of the anode filter grid 2 abuts against the inner wall of the air duct 10. The air duct device 21 also includes a fan blade 12. The air duct 10 is installed below the fan blade 12, and the fan blade 12 is connected to the air duct 10. A motor 13 is connected to the side of the fan blade 12 away from the air duct 10, and the motor 13 is used to drive the fan blade 12 to rotate. An air outlet 14 is opened at the second end of the air duct 10. The air outlet 14 is located near the door seal 24 of the dry cleaning machine 17 and is connected to the drum 20 of the dry cleaning machine 17. An electric heating device is provided near the air outlet 14, and the electric heating device is used to heat the air. The electric heating device includes a bent electric heating tube 15, which extends from the first side wall of the air duct 10 to the second side wall of the air duct 10. A thermostat 16 is provided on the outside of the air duct 10, and the electric heating tube 15 is connected to the thermostat 16. Motor 13 drives fan 12 to rotate, drawing air and lint from the drum 20 of dry cleaning machine 17 into duct 10. The lint flows through the corona electrode 1 and is adsorbed by the anode filter grid 2. Electronic igniter 3 ignites the lint, turning it into ash. The ash travels with the air through the anode filter grid 2 and moves towards the air outlet 14. When the ash moves along the duct 10 to the vicinity of the electric heating tube 15, the electric heating tube 15 heats both the ash and the air simultaneously. The heated ash and air then enter the drum 20 of dry cleaning machine 17 from the air outlet 14.
[0057] Example 4
[0058] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a cotton lint removal system, including a removal device. The removal device includes a corona electrode 1 and an anode filter grid 2. The corona electrode 1 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of a power supply, and the anode filter grid 2 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of a power supply. An electronic igniter 3 is disposed between the corona electrode 1 and the anode filter grid 2. After the cotton lint flows through the interior of the corona electrode 1, it is adsorbed by the anode filter grid 2, and the electronic igniter 3 ignites the cotton lint.
[0059] A dry cleaning machine 17 includes the lint removal system described in any of the above claims.
[0060] The dry cleaning machine 17 includes a drum 20 with a first opening connected to a door seal 24. A front panel 18 is connected to the side of the door seal 24 furthest from the first opening. A second opening, connected to an air inlet 11, is located on the side of the drum 20 furthest from the first opening. A rear panel 23 is connected to the side of the drum 20 closest to the second opening. A first positioning hole is located on the front panel 18 near the air outlet 14, and a second positioning hole is located on the rear panel 23 near the air inlet 11. An air duct device 21 includes a first positioning post and a second positioning post. The first positioning post is fitted with the first positioning hole, and the second positioning post is fitted with the second positioning hole. The air duct device 21 is installed above the drum 20. During installation, the first positioning post is inserted into the first positioning hole, and the second positioning post is inserted into the second positioning hole. The first and second positioning holes allow for precise positioning of the air duct device 21 during installation. Bolts are then used to fix the air duct device 21 above the drum 20. Finally, a cover plate 22 is installed above the air duct device 21.
[0061] The air outlet 14 and the door seal 24 are connected by a clamp 19, allowing the air outlet 14 to communicate with the interior of the drum 20. The air inlet 11 is connected to the second opening, allowing the air inlet 11 to communicate with the interior of the drum 20. When the dry cleaning machine door 17 is closed, the air duct device 21 and the interior of the drum 20 form a sealed space. The surface of the air duct 10 is insulated to ensure product safety.
[0062] After the user starts the drying function of the dry cleaning machine 17 through the control panel, the control system transmits a signal to the motor 13. The motor 13 drives the fan blade 12 to rotate, drawing the air and cotton wool in the drum 20 into the air duct 10 from the air inlet 11.
[0063] After air and cotton wool are drawn into the air duct 10, they first flow through the high-voltage electric field inside the corona electrode 1. The high-voltage electric field ionizes the air into positive ions and negative ions. After the cotton wool absorbs negative ions, it becomes negatively charged and moves towards the positively charged anode filter grid 2 under the action of the electric field.
[0064] After the cotton fibers are adsorbed by the anode filter grid 2, the electronic igniter 3 releases a high-voltage electric arc to the anode filter grid 2. Due to the static electricity on the surface of the cotton fibers, they can be instantly ignited and turned into ash. Since the amount of cotton fibers cleaned at one time is small and the ash particles are small, it will not cause blockage of the anode filter grid 2.
[0065] Ash and air pass directly through the anode filter grid 2 and continue to move along the direction of the air duct 10 toward the air outlet 14. When the ash and air move to the vicinity of the electric heating tube 15, the electric heating tube 15 heats the ash and air. After being heated, the air and ash enter the drum 20 through the air outlet 14. The drum 20 rotates at high speed to spin dry the moisture in the clothes and dries the clothes with high-temperature air. Finally, the ash flows out of the dry cleaning machine 17 through the drainage system.
[0066] This embodiment of a dry cleaning machine 17 includes the lint removal system described in any of the above-mentioned claims. After the drying function of the dry cleaning machine 17 is activated, the control system controls the motor 13 to drive the fan blades 12 to rotate, drawing air and lint from the drum 20 into the air duct 10 through the air inlet 11. The air and lint then flow through the high-voltage electric field inside the corona electrode 1, where the lint is adsorbed by the anode filter grid 2. The electronic igniter 3 ignites the lint adsorbed on the anode filter grid 2, and the lint burns into ash. The ash passes through the anode filter grid 2 and moves towards the air outlet 14. When the ash approaches the electric heating tube 15, the electric heating tube 15 heats both the ash and the air simultaneously, causing the heated air and ash to enter the interior of the drum 20 from the air outlet 14. Finally, the ash rotates at high speed with the drum 20 and flows out through the drainage system of the dry cleaning machine 17, completing one automatic lint removal process. During the drying process of clothes in the dry cleaning machine 17, the air duct 10 continuously draws the cotton lint inside the drum 20 into the air duct 10 to clean the cotton lint, avoiding the cotton lint from clogging the fan blades 12, realizing automatic cleaning of cotton lint, and greatly extending the service life of the dry cleaning machine 17.
