[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a device for preventing cross-contamination of exhaust air heat recovery in a cleanroom, comprising:

[0027] The air supply assembly 100 includes a base 101, a housing 102 inserted into the end of the base 101, a connector 103 hinged inside the housing 102, a fan 104 inserted into the middle of the connector 103, and an air inlet pipe 105 sealed and installed at the end of the housing 102. The air inlet pipe 105 communicates with the inside of the housing 102, and the end of the air inlet pipe 105 extends to the side wall of the air inlet of the fan 104.

[0028] The processing component 200 includes a housing 201 fixedly connected to the side wall of the outer casing 102, a frame 202 fixedly connected inside the housing 201, a partition 203 inserted into the inner wall of the frame 202, and a filter element 204 encapsulated in the center of the partition 203. The through hole on the side wall of the housing 201 is connected to the through hole on the side wall of the outer casing 102, and the air outlet of the fan 104 is located on the side wall of the filter element 204.

[0029] The air supply assembly 100 is responsible for directing air into the treatment assembly. The base 101 provides an installation reference for the entire device. The outer shell 102 (sealed cavity structure) inserted at its end forms an air delivery channel. The air inlet pipe 105, which is sealed at the end of the outer shell, is connected to the interior and is used to introduce cleanroom exhaust air (or fresh air). Its end extends to the air inlet of the fan 104 to ensure that air enters the fan 104 efficiently. The hinged connector 103 (metal bracket) inside the outer casing 102 provides a mounting carrier for the fan 104, which is inserted into the middle of the connector 103. The treatment component 200 improves heat absorption efficiency through an adjustable filter structure while preventing cross-contamination between exhaust and fresh air. The box 201 (sealed cavity) fixed to the side wall of the outer casing 102 is the core area for heat recovery, and the frame 202 (metal frame) fixed inside it is used to install the partition 203. The filter 204 (usually a high-efficiency glass fiber filter, but other suitable filter can also be used) encapsulated in the center of the partition 203 (high-temperature resistant plate) is the key to heat recovery and filtration. It can absorb exhaust heat through its porous structure while filtering particulate matter.

[0030] Specifically, a rack plate 205 is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the partition 203, and a gear 206 is rotatably installed inside the housing 201. The rack on the side wall of the rack plate 205 meshes with the teeth on the side wall of the gear 206, and the rack plate 205 is symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the gear 206.

[0031] Among them, the rack plate 205 (with straight teeth) fixed to the lower side wall of the partition 203 meshes with the gear 206 rotatably installed inside the box. The rack plates are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the gear. When the gear 206 rotates, the rack plates 205 on both sides move synchronously in opposite directions, causing the corresponding partition 203 to move closer or further away from each other, realizing the misalignment adjustment of the filter element 204, changing the resistance of the filter element 204 to the passage of hot air, so that the hot air can be better absorbed by the filter element 204.

[0032] Furthermore, a sleeve 207 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the housing 201, and a connecting rod 208 is threadedly connected to the center of the sleeve 207. The end of the connecting rod 208 is fixedly connected to the end of the rack plate 205.

[0033] Among them, the sleeve 207 (with internal thread) rotatably installed on the side wall of the housing is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 208 (with external thread). The end of the connecting rod is fixed to the rack plate 205. Rotating the sleeve 207 can drive the connecting rod 208 to extend and retract, thereby pushing the rack plate 205 to move and driving the gear 206 to rotate, so as to achieve precise control of the misalignment of the filter element 204.

[0034] Furthermore, a turntable 209 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sleeve 207, and a pin rod 210 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the turntable 209. The end of the pin rod 210 is inserted into the outer side wall of the housing 201, and the end face of the turntable 209 is flush with the outer side wall of the housing 201.

[0035] The turntable 209, which is fixed to the side wall of the sleeve, is easy to rotate and adjust manually. The end of the pin 210, which is threaded to the side wall, can be inserted into the positioning hole on the outer side wall of the box to lock the position of the filter element after adjustment (to prevent loosening).

[0036] Preferably, a support rod 211 is inserted into the side wall of the frame 202, the end of the support rod 211 is inserted into the end of the partition 203, and a limiting block that cooperates with the frame 202 is installed at the end of the support rod 211.

[0037] Among them, the end of the support rod 211 (metal rod) inserted into the side wall of the frame 202 is inserted into the end of the partition 203, and the limiting block at the end (which is snapped into the frame) restricts the movement range of the partition to ensure structural stability during misalignment adjustment.

[0038] It should be noted that a spring 106 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the base 101, the end of the spring 106 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer shell 102, and a handle bolt that mates with the connecting post on the side wall of the outer shell 102 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the base 101.

[0039] The spring 106 (with its end connected to the bottom of the outer shell) fixed inside the base 101 provides elastic support for the outer shell 102 and can buffer the vibration generated by the operation of the fan 104 (reducing noise and structural wear); the handle bolts threaded to the side wall of the base cooperate with the connecting column of the side wall of the outer shell, and after tightening, the position of the outer shell 102 can be locked to ensure the overall stability of the device.

[0040] Preferably, a cylinder 107 is hinged inside the outer casing 102, and the end of the cylinder 107 is hinged to the lower side wall of the connector 103.

[0041] Among them, the end of the cylinder 107, which is hinged to the inner side of the outer shell, is hinged to the lower side wall of the connector. When the cylinder 107 extends or retracts, it can push the connector 103 to rotate around the hinge point, thereby driving the fan 104 to rotate synchronously, so as to realize the flexible adjustment of the air supply direction (to adapt to the hot air introduction needs of different areas of the processing component).

[0042] During use, the cleanroom exhaust air (including residual heat) enters the outer casing 102 through the air inlet pipe 105. The fan 104 is started, and the air is pressurized by the fan and delivered to the treatment component 200. According to the heat recovery requirements (such as high hot air concentration in a certain area of ​​the chamber), the cylinder 107 is controlled to extend or retract: when the cylinder extends, it pushes the connecting piece 103 to rotate upward around the hinge point of the outer casing, causing the fan 104 to tilt upward, and the air delivery direction is biased towards the upper part of the chamber; when the cylinder retracts, the connecting piece rotates downward, the fan tilts downward, and the air delivery direction is biased towards the lower part of the chamber; after adjustment, the fan directs the air into the interior of the chamber 201 to ensure that the hot air accurately covers the filter area.

[0043] Hot air entering the chamber passes through filter element 204. The filter element absorbs heat through its porous structure (achieving heat recovery for preheating fresh air) while filtering particulate matter (such as dust and microorganisms) from the air, preventing exhaust pollutants from spreading into the clean room (preventing cross-contamination). To improve heat absorption efficiency (e.g., high hot air flow rate and velocity), loosen the pin 210, rotate the turntable 209 to rotate the sleeve 207, and the sleeve drives the connecting rod 208 to extend and retract via threaded transmission. The connecting rod drives the rack plate 205 to move, driving the gear 206 to rotate. The rack plates on both sides move synchronously in opposite directions, causing adjacent partitions 203 to misalign. After the filter element is misaligned with the partitions, the resistance distribution of its pore channels changes (local resistance increases), prolonging the residence time of hot air in the filter element and expanding the heat exchange contact area, thereby improving heat absorption efficiency. After adjustment, tighten the pin 210 to lock the filter element position and ensure stable operation.

[0044] In summary, by driving the filter element to misalign, the resistance distribution of the filter element can be flexibly adjusted, extending the residence time of hot air within the filter element and improving heat absorption efficiency. Combined with directional airflow adjusted by a cylinder, this ensures precise hot air coverage of the filter element, further reducing heat loss. This is suitable for waste heat recovery in cleanrooms, reducing the energy consumption of air conditioning systems. The filter element can intercept particulate matter and microorganisms in the exhaust air; the sealed connection between the housing and the outer shell, along with the unidirectional airflow design, completely blocks the diffusion path of pollutants, reducing cross-contamination. The cylinder-driven fan direction adjustment can adapt to different heat recovery scenarios (such as differences in hot air concentration in different areas of the housing), meeting the exhaust air treatment needs of different locations in the cleanroom without requiring equipment replacement.
