Abstract

A first water spray unit that sprays water into the gaseous mixture containing the flux component, a separation unit having an introduction port for introducing the gaseous mixture into which water is sprayed from the first water spray unit, and a second water spray unit that forms a precipitation flow inside of the separation unit. The separation unit uses a swirling flow to separate the flow component from the gaseous mixture.

Claims (37)

1. A flux recovery device that recovers a flux component from a gaseous mixture containing the flux component, the flux recovery device comprising:

a first water spray unit that sprays water into the gaseous mixture;

a separation unit that includes an introduction port for introducing the gaseous mixture, the separation unit using a swirling flow to separate the flux component from the gaseous mixture; and

a second water spray unit that forms a precipitation flow inside of the separation unit.

2. The flux recovery device according to claim 1 , wherein the separation unit comprises:

a cylindrical body for separation of the flux component, the cylindrical body including an introduction portion in an upper side portion thereof, an opening in an upper portion thereof, and a conical portion in a lower portion thereof; and

a cover engaged with the opening of the cylindrical body, wherein

the cover includes a disc-shaped body portion,

an exhaust cylindrical portion having a predetermined length passes through the body portion,

the conical portion includes a drain port,

when the gaseous mixture is taken into the introduction portion from a tangent direction of the cylindrical body, the flux component and water confluent with the precipitation flow formed on an inner side of the cylindrical body by the second water spray unit by means of the swirling flow formed by the first water spray unit are discharged from the drain port, and

the cylindrical portion takes gas separated from the gaseous mixture at one end and exhausts the gas from the other end.

3. The flux recovery device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first water spray unit has a nozzle configured to spray the water in a conical or circular sector shape, and

the second water spray unit includes an annular pipe having a plurality of blow-off ports, the annular pipe being configured to radially spray the water.

4. The flux recovery device according to claim 1 , further comprising a water cleaner configured to clean water discharged from the separation unit.

5. The flux recovery device according to claim 4 , wherein the water cleaner comprises an ozonation unit and an activated carbon filter.

6. A soldering device comprising:

a soldering unit; and

the flux recovery device according to claim 1 , the flux recovery device being configured to recover the flux component from the gaseous mixture containing the flux component generated in the soldering unit.

7. The flux recovery device according to claim 2 , wherein

the first water spray unit has a nozzle configured to spray the water in a conical or circular sector shape, and

the second water spray unit includes an annular pipe having a plurality of blow-off ports, the annular pipe being configured to radially spray the water.

8. The flux recovery device according to claim 2 , further comprising a water cleaner configured to clean water discharged from the separation unit.

9. The flux recovery device according to claim 3 , further comprising a water cleaner configured to clean water discharged from the separation unit.

10. A soldering device comprising:

a soldering unit; and

the flux recovery device according to claim 2 , the flux recovery device being configured to recover the flux component from the gaseous mixture containing the flux component generated in the soldering unit.

11. A soldering device comprising:

a soldering unit; and

the flux recovery device according to claim 3 , the flux recovery device being configured to recover the flux component from the gaseous mixture containing the flux component generated in the soldering unit.

12. A soldering device comprising:

a soldering unit; and

the flux recovery device according to claim 4 , the flux recovery device being configured to recover the flux component from the gaseous mixture containing the flux component generated in the soldering unit.

13. A soldering device comprising:

a soldering unit; and

the flux recovery device according to claim 5 , the flux recovery device being configured to recover the flux component from the gaseous mixture containing the flux component generated in the soldering unit.
