No. 157,136, now US. Pat. No. 3,677,650 it has been necessary to disassemble the apparatus to remove the collected particles after a test before the apparatus could be operated again to collect another sample. Some means is desirable for removing the column of collected particles without having to shut down the equipment and disassemble the apparatus.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, an apparatus with a motor driven particle extractor and stabilizer is attached at one end of the particle accumulator which provides an annular channel in the end wall, whereby the particle column can be drawn to one end of the accumulator where it can be removed while the accumulator is in operation. Also, a moving end wall and central hub are provided to reduce turbulence and boundary layer friction. By coordinating flow rate in the separation chamber with wall and hub speeds, the location of confinement area for the collected particle column in the annular transition region can be adjusted.

Reference is now made to FIGS. I and 2 of the drawing, which show a particle accumulator and separator 10 having a separator portion I2 and an extractor and stabilizer portion 14, which are normally connected together as shown in FIG. 3.
The separator portion I2 is similar to the apparatus shown and described in the copending application referenced above. The particle laden gas is supplied to chamber I6 through inlet 118, shown in FIG. 4. The gas passes through tubes I9 and 26 to an annular channel 22. Gas from the channel 22 enters the chamber I6 tangentially through a plurality of nozzles 24, shown in FIG. 5. The clean gas leaving the chamber passes out through ejection nozzle 26 to outlet 28. A flow stabilizer 30 is provided between the inlet nozzles 24 and the ejection nozzle 26, as in the copending application referenced above. Pressure taps III and 32 are provided for measuring inlet and outlet pressures.
The particle extractor and stabilizer portion I4 of the particle separator, shown in FIG. 2, is shown in an exploded view in FIG. 6.. The extractor and stabilizer has members 46, 411, 42, 43, 44 and 45 sealed with O-rings 47 and held together by threaded rods 49, which also pass through flange 35 of member I2, and are secured with washers 51, 52 and nuts 54, 55. A shaft 58, supported in bearings 66, 611, 62 and 63, is driven by a motor 65 which is secured to member 45. A pin 67 on motor shaft 68 engages a slot 70 in coupling member 72, which is secured to shaft 58. A hub member 74 is secured to the end of shaft 58 and acts to stabilize the flow within chamber I6. The bearings 62 and 63 support the shaft 58 within a hollow shaft 76, which in turn is supported within member 40 by a bearing 77. A flow stabilizer wall member 78 is threaded onto hollow shaft 76. The shaft 76 also includes a flow impeller 86 having six flow impeller tubes 82, as shown in FIG. 7. The impeller tube outlets lead to an annular channel 84 through orifices 85 and then to outlet port 86.. An annular channel 88 is provided between shafts 58 and 76 which communicates with chamber 116 so that collected particles can be removed when desired. Normally the bearings used would be sealed bearings to keep particles in channel 88 from entering the bearing. However, if unsealed bearings were used, seals, not shown, would be provided. Shaft 76 would normally be driven through bearing friction in bearings 62 and 63. This, then, could provide some slip between the rotation of wall member 78 and hub member 74, which is useful for some applications. However, if it is desired to have shafts 58 and 76 run at the same speed, a pin member 9 1) may be provided to lock the shafts together. If it is desired to use the rotating end wall and hub during tests, the outlet port 86 could be closed to keep the flow impeller from extracting the particles from chamber I6.
In the operation of the device, either particle laden gas is supplied under pressure to inlet I8, or a particle laden gas is supplied to inlet IS, with a vacuum source being connected to'outlet 28. A vortex flow is established within chamber I6 to separate the particles and to provide an accumulated column of particles IIII, shown in FIG. 3, in the manner described in applicants application, Ser. No. 157,136. The motor 65 can be operating at a low speed to rotate hub 74, or the hub and wall 78 can be stationary. When it is desirable to extract the column, the motor 65 can be started or speeded up to cause hub 74, wall member 78 and the flow impeller 66 to rotate to draw the column IIDI to the end of the chamber, as shown in FIG. 8, where it is drawn off through channel 88, impeller tubes 82, orifices 85, annular channel 34 and outlet port 86. The apparatus is then ready to accumulate additional columns of particles for test.
. With the device thus far described, the particle accumulator portion of the apparatus is similar to that shown in the inventors copending application, 1157,1136. However, the flow accumulator could be made similar to that shown in applicants copending application, Gas Particle Accumulator, Treating and Test Apparatus, Ser. No. 195,551, filed Nov. 4, 1971 as shown in FIGS. 9-11. This device is substantially the same as the device shown in FIG. 1, except that an annular access channel 92 is provided around ejection nozzle 26. Material to be supplied to chamber 16 is fed to the channel 92 from inlet tube 94, shown in FIG. 10, which supplies the material through tubes 96 and 97 to an annular channel 98 to four nozzles 99. Thus, various tests may be performed on the column as described in copending application, Gas Particle Accumulator, Treating and Test Apparatus.
All parts of the apparatus can be made of either plastic or metal or other materials, except that the bearings and motor would be made of the normal materials used in these devices and the seals would be made of a normal low pressure sealing material, such as rubber. The wall of chamber 16 must be made of a transparent material, such as glass or plastic, when it is desired to view the collected column. However, in some tests only pressure and temperature indications are made, in which case the wall could be made of an opaque material.
There is thus provided a particle separator and accumulator which provides apparatus for removing a column from the test chamber without disassembling the apparatus.
