The present study has been conducted to improve temperature distribution in the motor housing of vacuum cleaner and reduce the development period by CFD analysis. CFD analysis is performed to investigate the thermal flow pattern in the motor housing and validated by experiments. The validation of CFD analysis is conducted by comparing the temperature distribution on motor housing cover. Through the present study the CFD analysis procedure in the motor housing of vacuum cleaner is established and various experimental materials are obtained. These analysis results can be used effectively as design factors of vacuum cleaner.

This investigation is the result of a structural analysis by FEM and test to define the deformation mode of the Up-Right type Vacuum-Cleaner's Nozzle-Cover. In FEM analysis, 3 different conditions were considered separately, such as (1) Compressive force by Belt tension, (2) Friction heat between Belt and shaft and (3) Compressive force combined with heat. Throughout FEM analysis it was found that the deformation was caused by heat and it was proved through a simulation test with a real product.

본 논문에서 가정용 진공청소기의 여러 조건하에서의 열변형 형태를 유한요소해석을 통해서 예측하고 이를 실험을 통하여 비교하였다. 유한요소해석에 있어서 (1) 벨트장력에 의한 압축력이 작용하였을 경우 (2) 벨트와 회전축의 마찰열 (3) 벨트장력과 열하중이 각각 고려되었을 경우의 3가지 조건을 대입하여 흡입구 커버의 변형 상태를 예측하였다. 또한 해석 결과를 실(real) 제품의 성능테스트를 통하여 비교하였고 내부 온도 상승을 방지할 수 있는 근본적인 개선 대책을 제시하였다.

Objectives: Asbestos fibers are accumulated in negative pressure unit (NPU) or vacuum cleaner in asbestos removal. Failure of operation or poor use performance of the NPU or vacuum cleaner causes asbestos fibers to spread in the air. Asbestos contractors should have an NPU fitted with a HEPA , vacuum cleaner, decontamination area, respirators, wetting equipment, and differential pressure manometer to register with the Ministry of Employment and Labor. There should be performance criteria of equipment used in asbestos removal. But there are none such criteria used in asbestos removal. This study was performed to investigate international or national performance criteria of equipment used in asbestos removal. Methods: Regulations, approved code of practice, guidance and national standards of the UK, USA and Korea were reviewed. A survey was done to investigate the requirements for equipment used in asbestos removal in Korea. Results: Air flow of NPUs used in Korea usually covers from$500m^3/h$ to over $3000m^3/h$. Some requirements for NPUs used in Korea were missing compared to the requirements of British standards for NPUs. All NPUs have different missing requirements. The UK also has separate British standard for leak tests for NPUs. Highly hazardous class vacuum cleaners should be used in asbestos removal in the UK. It has national standards on the operation of vacuum cleaners used in asbestos removal. There is only a certification system for less than 2.5kw rated voltage vacuum cleaners for home use in Korea. Powered (-assisted) respirators with mask are recommended in asbestos removal. Type 5 coveralls should be used in asbestos removal in the UK. There are international standards for requirements and leak tests of type 5 coveralls. A manometer for measuring differential pressure is needed in asbestos removal. The manometer's measuring range should cover less than ${\pm}125$ Pa and the gradation of manometer should be less than 2.5 Pa. The definition of decontamination area should be corrected. Installation of airlock and minimum area should be considered in decontamination area. Conclusions: Equipment should be used in asbestos removal proper performance and no leaks. There should be a certification system for equipment used in asbestos removal. This study can help to a certification system for equipment used in asbestos removal in Korea.

The objective of this paper is to investigate into the fabrication technology of cores for the injection mould with three-dimensional conformal cooling channels to reduce the cooling time. The location of the conformal cooling channels has been determined through the injection molding analysis. The mould has been manufactured from a hybrid rapid tooling technology, which is combined a direct metal rapid tooling with a machining process. Several injection molding experiments have been performed to examine the productivity and the validity of the designed mould. From the results of the experiments, it has been shown that the proposed mould can mold a final product within a cooling time of 3 seconds and a cycle time of 21 seconds, respectively.

청소 로봇의 중요한 기술 중 하나는 커버리지 성능이다. 대부분의 가정용 청소 로봇들은 로봇의 크기나 제작 비용 때문에 로봇을 구성하는 시스템 구성에 제약을 받게 된다. 이러한 이유 때문에 청소 로봇의 가장 중요한 요소인 커버리지 성능을 높이는데 필요한, 위치 인식이나 맵 구성을 위한 기존의 알고리즘들을 쉽게 적용할 수가 없다. 본 논문에서는 청소 로봇을 위한 두 가지 문제에 초점을 맞추어 이를 해결 할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 먼저 계산 량을 줄여 저가형 시스템을 구성할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해 청소 환경을 단순화 하는 형태로 변화 시켜 위치 인식과 특징점 맵을 구성하는데 필요한 계산량을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 두 번째로 청소로봇에 사용하는 센서들의 성능이 매우 제한적이다. 청소 로봇에 가장 많이 사용되는 센서는 초음파 센서와 적외선 센서이다. 초음파 센서의 경우에는 로봇의 크기나 구조적인 문제 때문에 측정 범위가 제한되고, 적외선의 경우엔 비용 문제와 센서 자체가 가지고 있는 측정 범위에 대한 문제에 의해 근거리 측정용 센서만을 사용한다. 이러한 센서들의 성능을 고려한 특징점 추출 방법을 설명하고 이를 이용한 맵 구성과 청소 영역 분할에 대한 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 전 영역 청소를 위한 알고리즘들은 실제 판매되는 청소 로봇에 적용하여, 그 성능을 검증한다.

Objectives: Aircraft cabin cleaning work is characterized by being performed within a limited time in a narrow and enclosed space. The objective of this study was to evaluate the exposure levels to dust, ultra fine dust(PM2.5) and black carbon(BC) among aircraft cabin cleaners. Methods: Active personal air sampling for respirable dust(n=73) and BC(n=47) was conducted during quick transit cleaning(cabin general and vacuum-specific) and seat cover replacement and total dust and PM2.5 were area-air-sampled as well. Also, size distribution of particle was identified with the cleaning workers targeted. Dusts were collected with PVC filters using gravimetric analysis. The concentration of PM2.5 and the particle size distribution were measured with real-time direct reading portable equipment using light scattering analysis. The concentration of BC was measured by aethalometer(filter-based real-time light absorption analysis instrument). Results: The geometric mean of respirable dust was the highest at vacuum cleaning as 74.4 ㎍/m³, following by replacing seat covers as 49.3 ㎍/m³ and cabin general cleaning as 47.8 ㎍/m³ . The arithmetic mean of PM2.5 was 4.83 ~ 9.89 ㎍/m³ inside the cabin, and 28.5~44.5 ㎍/m³ outside the cabin(from bus and outdoor waiting space). From size distribution, PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratio was 0.54 at quick transit cleaning and 0.41 at replacing seat covers. The average concentration of BC was 2~7 ㎍/m³, showing a high correlation with the PM2.5 concentration. Conclusions: The hazards concentration levels of aircraft cabin cleaners were very similar to those of roadside outdoor workers. As the main source of pollution is estimated to be diesel vehicles operating at airports, and it is necessary to replace older vehicles, strengthen pollutant emission control regulations, and introduce electric vehicles. In addition, it is necessary to provide as part of airport-inftastructure a stable standby waiting space for aircraft cabin cleaners and introduce a systematic safety and health management system for all workers in the aviation industry.
