To improve the dust collection efficiency of sweepers
the computational fluid dynamics method was applied to simulate the blowing-suction cleaning flow field. Influence of structural parameters on cleaning effect was analyzed combined with the gas-solid two-phase flow model. The multi-objective orthogonal test method based on weight matrix analysis was used to optimize the position parameters. Results show that when the width of the blow mouth was less than 0.93 of the width of the suction mouth
it is beneficial for improving cleaning efficiency with the increase of the width of the blow mouth. When the height of the blow mouth was more than 0.92 of the height of the suction mouth
the cleaning efficiency was improved with the increase of the height of the blow mouth
but the mean velocity near the ground and the outlet velocity of the blow mouth were reduced
which was not conducive to blowing up the dust. When the inclination of the blow mouth was 20°
the inclination of the suction mouth was 20°
the distance between the blow mouth and the suction mouth was 700 mm
and the height from the two mouths to the ground was 20 mm
the cleaning performance of the blowing-suction cleaning method was optimal. The airflow velocity was high near the ground in the blowing-suction cleaning flow field
where the airflow moved from the blow mouth to the suction mouth and the direction was close to the ground. There was no secondary pollution caused by the leakage of the airflow. The inclination of the blow mouth and the inclination of the suction mouth had the greatest influence on the cleaning performance
followed by the distance between the blow mouth and the suction mouth
and the height from the two mouths to the ground had the least effect.
