Discharge wire cleaning device for an electric dust collector

摘要

A discharge wire cleaning device for an electric dust collector in which when the dust accumulates to a certain extent on the discharge wires which are arranged vertically with each end secured to the frame, the compressed gas is ejected from the gas nozzle at the base of the discharge wires to apply pressure to the skirt and drive it upwardly thereby removing the dust on the discharge wires, after which the sliders are allowed to move down by gravity to their lowest portion. A damper may be provided on the upper portion of each discharge wire so that the slider is urged downwardly against the friction of the dust still remaining on the wire and can be moved up and down repeatedly. A brush may be provided on the slider so that the dust is effectively scraped off the discharge wires.
