PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dust collection mechanism and a dust collection method that can satisfactorily remove chips produced by machining.SOLUTION: A dust collection mechanism according to an embodiment includes a fan and a holder for attaching to and detaching from a rotary shaft of a machine tool. The fan forms an air flow from a workpiece side to a dust suction port of a dust collector by a rotary vane to introduce chips into the dust suction port. A dust collection method according to an embodiment includes the steps of: mounting a fan to a rotary shaft of a machine tool having a drive shaft of a tool in a direction different from that of the rotary shaft; moving the fan in the direction of the drive shaft; and rotating the fan by the rotational drive of the rotary shaft to form an air flow from a workpiece side to a dust suction port of a dust collector by a rotary vane of the fan to introduce chips into the dust suction port. 【課題】機械加工によって生じる切粉を良好に除去することが可能な集塵機構及び集塵方法を提供することである。【解決手段】実施形態に係る集塵機構は、ファンと前記ファンを工作機械の回転軸に着脱するためのホルダを有する。ファンは、回転翼で被切削材側から吸塵装置の吸塵口に向かうエアの流れを形成することによって切粉を前記吸塵口に導く。また、実施形態に係る集塵方法は、回転軸と異なる方向への工具の駆動軸を有する工作機械の前記回転軸にファンを取付けるステップと、前記駆動軸方向に前記ファンを移動させるステップと、前記回転軸の回転駆動によって前記ファンを回転させ、前記ファンの回転翼で被切削材側から吸塵装置の吸塵口に向かうエアの流れを形成することによって切粉を前記吸塵口に導くステップとを有する。【選択図】 図１
