Abstract

To provide a dust flying preventing device for a traveling vehicle and the like, in view of a circumstance in which prevention of dust flying caused by various traveling vehicles is an important problem to address traffic pollutions, but the prevention of dust flying caused when vehicles move and travel is still left unsolved even in the present circumstances, in the future motorized society life in which the vehicle electrification advances, a surface-to-surface-contact driving and moving scheme between a drive wheel of a vehicle and the driven wheel thereof, and, a road-surface metal track surface is not addressed at the moment, and thus the installation and development of the dust flying prevention device for the vehicle is inevitably necessary in view of the risks for road and railroad wayside users, residents, passengers and persons on board, and this contributes to address vehicle and traffic pollution environmental risks that is equivalent to or greater than the exhaust gas restriction for internal combustion engines.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for preventing the scattering of dust emitted by a moving vehicle or the like. [Background technology]

[0002] Until now, dust has been generated by friction between the wheels and caterpillars of road and rail vehicles and the road surface, and metal dust and other particles have been scattered when braking. This proposal contributes to the improvement of traffic pollution by removing dust and purifying the environmental air with a dust prevention device. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] This had the following drawbacks: (a) When vehicles are moving, dust particles are generated by friction between the wheels, caterpillars, etc. and the road surface, and they are made up of tires, asphalt, concrete, soil, etc., and also by brake wear and the scattering of iron dust particles caused by braking operation. This makes it necessary to install protective devices. (b) There were no regulations to prevent dust from flying around the trains, and the dust spread, causing health problems for people living along the line, on train station platforms, and for train drivers, making a solution to this problem an urgent task. The present invention has been made to eliminate the above drawbacks. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] (a) At the front of the moving vehicle, (1) the wind power is increased by the moving wind receiving pipe, (2) and (4) the dust generated by the wheel driving friction, braking, etc. (5) is captured by the wheel dust scattering prevention cover (3) and (2) after joining the main dust collecting pipe (6) the dust is purified in a dust removal filter, (9) stored in the dust accumulation chamber, and (8) the purified air is discharged from the dust removal air outlet. (b) (6) The dust removal filter is operated by (1) using the wind power of the vehicle and other power sources in combination, and in rainy and snowy weather, it is operated by (2) closing and opening the valve of the dust collection main pipe (7) when driving in rainy and snowy weather. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] This invention provides a dust removal device to eliminate dust pollution caused by vehicles traveling on roads and railways, and is a health measure for residents along the railway lines, passengers in traveling vehicles, and railway users. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a side view of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a plan view of the present invention. MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. At the front of the vehicle, (1) the inlet of the wind receiving pipe is installed to increase the wind force, (2) it is connected to the main dust collecting pipe, (4) the various dust particles (5) generated by the wear of the vehicle's wheels and caterpillars against the road surface and rail surface are (3) captured by the wheel dust scattering prevention cover, (2) after which they are merged into the main dust collecting pipe, (6) after which the dust is removed in a dust removal filter, (9) it is stored in the dust accumulation chamber, and at the same time, (8) the purified air is discharged outside the vehicle. (7) An automatic device that prevents dust scattering when the vehicle is running in rain or snow by closing and opening the valve. [Explanation of symbols]

[0009] 1. Traveling wind power receiving pipe 2 Dust collection main pipe 3. Dust prevention covers for wheels, etc. 4 wheels / caterpillar 5. Dust generation status 6 dust removal filters 7. Rain and snow closing / opening valve 8 purified air exhaust vents 9 Dust accumulation chamber The present invention has the above structure.

Claims

[Claim 1] A wind receiving pipe that is installed in the front part of the vehicle and takes in wind from the wind receiving pipe inlet. a dust collection main pipe joined to the running wind receiving pipe and extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle; a wheel dust scattering prevention cover disposed behind the wheels of the vehicle, joining the main dust collection pipe, and capturing dust generated by the wheels of the vehicle; a dust removal filter connected to the main dust collection pipe and removing the dust; a dust collection chamber for storing the dust removed by the dust removal filter; A dust prevention device having the same.
