Domestic dust remover began to be manufactured and installed in the late 1980s by introducing Japanese products and technologies. Currently, the design standards of dust remover are applied to Japan's design standards and partly sub-unit technology was developed for the domestic environment, but no technology was not developed. In addition, most of the manufacturers are small or small, so many of them have been installed and operated for 25 years because they develop small technologies such as parts deformation and functional addition rather than core technology development. Mechanical dust remover require about 70% of manufacturing costs compared to conventional hydraulic dust remover, which can reduce initial production costs, reduce maintenance costs due to low failure rates, and can be operated reliably. Existing hydraulic dust remover had a problem of contaminating rivers due to leakage of hydraulic oil, but mechanical dust remover have no factors that cause water pollution. Therefore, this study developed a rack-type operating structure for optimal and new construction by developing a multi-stage rack structure of mechanical decontamination components, which are substitutes of conventional rotary and hydraulic dust remover.
In this study, we verify the stability of the operation of mechanical dust remover by conducting the development of a rack-type operating structure and mechanism. This led to the development of a new type of mechanical dust remover, which resulted in the following conclusions. The optimum design was established for the specifications and shapes of the main structural and power transfer components according to the required capabilities of the mechanical dust remover. The power transmission structure of the worm gear and the spur gear corresponding to the rack bar gear box was determined to fit the lift structure, which is a combination of rack sprockets. When the rack bar is elongated, it develops a rack-type operating structure that enables smooth descent by allowing it to form a gap between the rake and the screen. And the mechanism was verified by calculating the stresses on the sprocket entering the rack box.
