Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dust collecting filters have limited areas for activating the electric field and collecting foreign substances, leading to increased pressure loss due to large electrode areas and potential energization from electrode contact, and require complex manufacturing processes.
Innovation Solution
A dust collecting filter with a corrugated filter medium and electrodes on one side, spaced apart to form a complex electric field, reducing pressure loss and preventing electrode contact, while simplifying the manufacturing process by coating electrodes in a longitudinal direction and bending the filter into a corrugated shape.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If electrodes are formed on both sides of the dielectric filter medium, then the electric field activation area is improved, but the pressure loss increases due to large electrode areas blocking the transmission area
Solution Approach 1:
The filter medium is bent into a corrugated shape with multiple peaks and valleys, transforming the electrode arrangement from a two-dimensional planar structure to a three-dimensional spatial structure. This dimensional transformation increases the electric field activation area by utilizing the vertical and lateral spaces created by the corrugated geometry, while the spaced-apart electrode arrangement in the valleys reduces blocking of the transmission area, thereby decreasing pressure loss.
2Productivity
If porous electrodes are used to increase electric field activation, then the collection efficiency is improved, but the transmission area is blocked and pressure loss increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electrodes are selectively positioned only in the valley portions of the corrugated filter medium, with specific spacing between them. This local positioning strategy activates the electric field precisely in the regions where foreign substances are most effectively collected, while leaving the peak regions and transmission paths relatively unobstructed, thereby maintaining low pressure loss while achieving high collection efficiency.
3Productivity
If electrodes are disposed close together to increase electric field strength, then the collection efficiency is improved, but the risk of electrode contact and energization increases
Solution Approach 1:
The corrugated structure with its curved peaks and valleys provides natural spatial separation between electrodes. The curved geometry of the valleys allows electrodes to be positioned in a three-dimensional arrangement that maintains sufficient spacing to prevent contact and energization, while still creating a strong electric field through the curved field lines concentrated in the valley regions.
4Ease of manufacture
If a flat filter medium is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the filtering area and electric field activation area are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The filter medium is transformed from a flat two-dimensional structure to a corrugated three-dimensional structure with peaks and valleys. This dimensional change dramatically increases the filtering area and electric field activation area without requiring additional material or complex assembly processes, making the manufacturing process remain relatively simple while achieving enhanced performance.
