Abstract

A particles capturing system includes a venturi filter device, a cyclone filter device, a plurality of first nozzles and air to flow through the system. The venturi filter device has an air intake portion, a neck portion and an air outlet portion. The cyclone filter device, disposed in the air outlet portion, has an entrance and an exit. The plurality of first nozzles, disposed inside the venturi filter device, have a height greater than that of the the neck portion. When the air flows, the air enters the venturi filter device via an air inlet of the air intake portion, then orderly passes through the neck portion and the plurality of first nozzles, then enters the cyclone filter device via the entrance, and finally leaves the cyclone filter device via the exit, such that particles in the flowing air can be captured.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A particles capturing system, comprising:
a venturi filter device, having an air intake portion, a neck portion and an air outlet portion, a height of the air outlet portion being greater than another height of the air intake portion, the neck portion being disposed between the air intake portion and the air outlet portion, an inner diameter of the neck portion being smaller than another inner diameter of any of the air intake portion and the air outlet portion, defined with a center axis;
a cyclone filter device, disposed along the center axis in the air outlet portion, having a plurality of filter units, each of the plurality of filter units including a straight-pipe portion and a taper-pipe portion connected with a bottom of the straight-pipe portion, the straight-pipe portion having another center axis perpendicular to a base plane, a narrower end of the taper-pipe portion being close to the neck portion, the straight-pipe portions of the plurality of filter units having at least two sizes, the plurality of filter units being telescoped together, the outmost filter unit of the plurality of filter units including an entrance having a height greater than another height measured at a bottom of the neighboring innermost filter unit of the plurality of filter units, the straight-pipe portion of the innermost filter unit having an exit located at a top thereof, the exit having a height greater than another height of the entrance; and
a plurality of first nozzles, disposed inside the venturi filter device, having a height greater than another height of the neck portion, each of the plurality of first nozzles providing a first mist, a spray direction of the first mist being parallel to the center axis of the venturi filter device, the plurality of first nozzles being to spray toward the neck portion.

2. The particles capturing system of claim 1 , wherein the venturi filter device further includes an adjustment member, the adjustment member has a taper portion, a narrower end of the taper portion is close to the neck portion, and the adjustment member is vertically movably disposed in the air intake portion to adjust a flow speed of the air to pass the neck portion from the air intake portion.

3. The particles capturing system of claim 2 , wherein the adjustment member is connected with an adjustment gear set, and the adjustment gear set includes:
a first gear assembly, including a first gear and a first shaft, two opposite ends of the first shaft being connected with the adjustment member and the first gear, respectively, the first shaft having an axial direction perpendicular to the base plane; and
a second gear assembly, including a second gear and a second shaft, one end of the second shaft being connected with the second gear while another end thereof protrudes out of the venturi filter device, the second gear being meshed with the first gear, the second shaft being driven to synchronously move the second gear to rotate the first gear and further to drive the first shaft to lift the adjustment member vertically.

4. The particles capturing system of claim 1 , further including a collection tank under the air inlet for collecting the falling first mists.

5. The particles capturing system of claim 4 , wherein the air inlet is disposed laterally to the air intake portion and above the collection tank, and the air enters the air intake portion in a direction parallel to the base plane.

6. The particles capturing system of claim 4 , wherein the air inlet is disposed at a bottom of the air intake portion, the air inlet is connected with an air-inlet extension pipe protruding out of the collection tank, and the air enters the air intake portion in a direction perpendicular to the base plane.

7. The particles capturing system of claim 6 , further including a pipe-end deflector disposed above the air-inlet extension pipe by a predetermined gap; wherein, when the air flows out of the air-inlet extension pipe and enters the air intake portion, the pipe-end deflector bifurcates the air and further deflects the air outward.

8. The particles capturing system of claim 1 , wherein the neck portion of the venturi filter device is furnished thereinside with a porous material.

9. The particles capturing system of claim 1 , wherein the cyclone filter device includes:
a first filter unit, having a first straight-pipe portion and a first taper-pipe portion, the first straight-pipe portion being furnished with a first opening as the entrance;
a second filter unit, having a second straight-pipe portion and a second taper-pipe portion, the second straight-pipe portion having an outer diameter less than an inner diameter of the first straight-pipe portion, the second filter unit being disposed inside the first filter unit but keeping the same center axis, a height measured at a bottom of the second taper-pipe portion being less than another height of the first opening;
a third filter unit, having a third straight-pipe portion and a third taper-pipe portion, the third straight-pipe portion having an outer diameter less than an inner diameter of the second straight-pipe portion, the third filter unit being disposed inside the second filter unit but keeping the same center axis, a height measured at a bottom of the third taper-pipe portion being less than the height measured at the bottom of the second taper-pipe portion, the third straight-pipe portion being furnished with a third opening, a height of the third opening being greater than the height measured at the bottom of the second taper-pipe portion; and
a fourth filter unit, having a fourth straight-pipe portion and a fourth taper-pipe portion, the fourth straight-pipe portion having an outer diameter less than an inner diameter of the third straight-pipe portion, the fourth filter unit being disposed inside the third filter unit but keeping the same center axis, a height measured at a bottom of the fourth taper-pipe portion being less than the height of the third opening but greater than the height measured at the bottom of the third taper-pipe portion, the fourth straight-pipe portion having a top as the exit.

10. The particles capturing system of claim 9 , wherein a bottom of the first taper-pipe portion of the first filter unit is furnished with a first hollow dust collector.

11. The particles capturing system of claim 9 , wherein a bottom of the first taper-pipe portion of the first filter unit is furnished with a first end-drop pipe, and a height of an axial bottom of the first end-drop pipe is less than another height of each of the plurality of first nozzles.

12. The particles capturing system of claim 11 , wherein the axial bottom of the first end-drop pipe has a first taper portion, and a narrower opening of the first taper portion faces the neck portion.

13. The particles capturing system of claim 11 , wherein the axial bottom of the first end-drop pipe is furnished with a first hollow dust collector.

14. The particles capturing system of claim 9 , wherein a bottom of the third taper-pipe portion of the third filter unit is furnished with a third hollow dust collector.
