Method and device for cleaning of ionizing electrodes

摘要

A device for cleaning ionizing electrodes includes a coil spring fixedly mounted at opposite ends, and an ionizing electrode operable by an actuator plunger for reciprocating movement relative to an axis of the coil spring along a line that extends from an outer periphery of the spring toward an inner periphery thereof, whereby during each reciprocating movement a tip of the electrode penetrates a complete cross-section of the coil spring so as to intersect the adjacent coils at opposing extremities thereof each of which is thereby able to collect dust and other waste deposits from the electrode.

1. A method for cleaning an ionizing electrode, the method comprising:
reciprocally swiping the electrode between adjacent coils of a fixed coil spring so as to effect at least one reciprocating movement of the electrode relative to an axis of the coil spring along a line that extends from an outer periphery of the spring toward an inner periphery thereof, during each of which reciprocating movements a tip of the electrode penetrates the coil spring at at least one extremity thereof so as to at least partially intersect adjacent coils at the at least one extremity and thereby collect dust and other waste deposits from the electrode.
