Dust eliminator

Abstract

An exemplary dust eliminator includes a housing which houses a bracket, a holder for holding components, an actuator and a blower. The holder is moveably supported on the bracket. The actuator is connected with the holder. The actuator is capable of moving relative to the bracket and actuating the holder to move on the bracket. The blower is fixed relative to the bracket and directs to the holder so as to blow the components on the holder.

       2 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a base, a cover, and sidewalls between the base and the cover, and wherein the bracket is secured to the base of the housing. 
   
   
       3 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a guiding member and a sliding member, and wherein the sliding member is secured to the holder and is slidable on the guiding member. 
   
   
       4 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the bracket further comprises a support member standing in the housing. 
   
   
       5 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the guiding member comprises two parallel rails supported by the support member. 
   
   
       6 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the sliding member comprises four sliding blocks and wherein each of the rails has two sliding blocks mounted thereon. 
   
   
       7 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the holder comprises a mount and a tray mounted on the mount for holding the components. 
   
   
       8 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the mount comprises two slats secured to the sliding member and a beam secured to the actuator, and wherein the tray is supported on the slats. 
   
   
       9 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the tray defines a plurality of slots for providing access to airflow from the blower to the components on the tray. 
   
   
       10 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the tray forms plural sets of tabs, and wherein each set of tabs cooperate to enclose one of the components. 
   
   
       11 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the holder further comprises a louver covering the components held on the tray, for preventing the components from escaping from the tray, and wherein the louver defines slits therein for ventilation. 
   
   
       12 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the blower is secured to the guiding member and comprises a tank and a plate covering the tank. 
   
   
       13 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the tank defines a chamber therein and a line of spaced nozzles, and wherein the nozzles are communicated with interior and exterior of the tank and face the tray. 
   
   
       14 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the plate overlays the chamber of the tank, and defines two apertures therein communicating with the tank and an air supply. 
   
   
       15 . A dust eliminator, comprising:
 a bracket;   a holder for holding components, being moveable on the bracket;   an actuator positioned onto the bracket and connected with the holder, the actuator positioned onto the bracket and connected with the holder to actuate the holder to move on the bracket; and   a blower secured to the bracket and directing to the holder so as to blow the components on the holder.   
   
   
       16 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the actuator is a piston of an air cylinder. 
   
   
       17 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the actuator has a free distal end connected with the holder so that the actuator can actuate the holder to move. 
   
   
       18 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the bracket comprises two parallel rails and each of the rails has two sliding blocks spanning thereon, and wherein the holder is secured to the sliding blocks. 
   
   
       19 . The dust eliminator as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the holder comprises a mount secured to the sliding blocks and the actuator respectively, a tray mounted on the mount for holding the components and a louver covering the components on the tray, and wherein the tray defines a plurality of slots therein for air of accessing the components to pass through. 
   
   
       20 . An apparatus for cleaning components, comprising:
 a housing;   a pair of guide rails arranged in the housing;   an air blower having a plurality of aligned nozzles facing upward for blowing air toward the components;   a tray slidably mounted on the guide rails and located above the air blower, the tray comprising an array of through holes and a plurality of retaining members, the through holes being arranged in columns and rows in a manner such that the through holes in each of the rows can be vertically aligned with the respective nozzles of the blower; and an actuator configured for driving the tray to slide on the guide rails.
