Abstract

A cleaning tool for a collection member includes a brush unit and a mount portion. The brush unit includes a bristle and a woven portion into which a root of the bristle is woven so as to be held by the woven portion. The mount portion includes a placement surface on which the woven portion is placed and a securing portion to which the brush unit is bonded. In the cleaning tool for the collection member, the woven portion includes two first outer surfaces that are located at respective ends of the placement surface and that extend parallel to a direction in which the bristle extends. In the cleaning tool for the collection member, the brush unit is secured to the mount portion by bonding a region that includes at least part of each of the two first outer surfaces to the securing portion with an adhesive.

Claims (25)

1. A cleaning tool for a collection member that cleans a collection member of a particle detector, the tool comprising:

a brush unit that includes a bristle and a woven portion into which a root of the bristle is woven so as to be held by the woven portion; and

a mount portion that includes

a placement surface on which the woven portion is placed, and

a securing portion to which the brush unit is bonded,

wherein the woven portion includes two first outer surfaces that are located at respective ends of the placement surface and that extend parallel to a direction in which the bristle extends, and

wherein the brush unit is secured to the mount portion by bonding a region that includes at least part of each of the two first outer surfaces to the securing portion with an adhesive.

wherein a gap is formed between the first projecting portion and the woven portion.

4. The cleaning tool for the collection member according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a pressing plate that opposes the bonding portion and the first projecting portion, the pressing plate together with the mount portion pinching the brush unit.

5. The cleaning tool for the collection member according to claim 4 ,

wherein the mount portion further includes second projecting portions that project further to the bristle side than the first projecting portion at both ends of the first projecting portion and that are in contact with the pressing plate.

6. A particle detector comprising:

the cleaning tool for the collection member according to claim 1 .

7. The particle detector according claim 6 ,

wherein, after heating of the collection member has been performed, the collection member is cleaned by the brush unit.

8. The cleaning tool for the collection member according to claim 1 ,
