Dust Collection Ionizer Frame Structure for Tip and Cable Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrification apparatuses for electric dust collection suffer from fragile frames that easily break under external forces, leading to reduced electrification and discharge efficiencies due to the lack of robust support for discharge tips and high voltage cables.
Innovation Solution
An electrification apparatus with a tip holder that securely supports the discharge tip and high voltage cable, using a hexahedral main body with hooks and a cable holder to reinforce the frame's rigidity and prevent separation, thereby enhancing the stability and efficiency of ion generation and dust collection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the installation frame uses a bar shape with both ends fixed and forms an installation opening by at least partially opening one side, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the rigidity of the frame deteriorates remarkably
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into multiple bar-shaped members (first bar member, second bar member, third bar member, fourth bar member) that are coupled together at corners. This segmentation allows each member to maintain structural integrity while collectively forming a rigid rectangular frame structure, resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and rigidity.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple bar-shaped frame members are merged/coupled together at their corners to form a complete rectangular frame. The coupling of these individual members creates a unified structure with enhanced rigidity compared to a single bar shape, while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through modular assembly.
2Ease of operation
If the conductive microfiber and cable are coupled to the installation frame by press-fitting in a horizontal direction, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability of the connection deteriorates as the frame breaks easily under excessive force
Solution Approach 1:
Installation openings are pre-formed in the frame members before the microfiber and cable are installed. These pre-formed openings provide designated pathways and coupling points, allowing the microfiber and cable to be inserted and secured in a straightforward manner without requiring excessive force, thereby maintaining both ease of operation and connection reliability.
3Ease of manufacture
If the installation opening is formed by at least partially opening one side of the installation frame, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the conductive microfiber may separate from preset position due to vibration or external force
Solution Approach 1:
The frame members are designed with specific local features including installation openings and coupling portions at strategic locations. These localized structural qualities provide secure anchoring points for the microfiber and cable, ensuring they remain firmly positioned at preset locations even under vibration or external forces, while maintaining overall manufacturing simplicity.

AI summary
An electrification apparatus for dust collection includes an electrification module configured to generate an ion emitted to air and comprising: at least one discharge tip configured to emit the ion in a direction opposite to a flow direction of the air, at least one tip holder supporting the discharge tip, a conductive plate generating a potential difference with the discharge tip, and a frame defining an appearance of the electrification module and supporting the tip holder and the conductive plate. The frame comprises an upper frame disposed at an upper side of the conductive plate and a lower frame disposed at a lower side of the conductive plate, the tip holder is disposed between the upper frame and the lower frame, and an upper surface of the tip holder is coupled to the upper frame and a lower surface of the tip holder is coupled to the lower frame.
