Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a nozzle, in particular to a fluid atomizing mechanical nozzle. Background Art

[0002] Diesel particulate matter and diesel exhaust pollutants are increasingly polluting the earth's environment and affecting human health. Since Stage VI, DPF has been used to control soot particulate emissions. The particulate matter in the original system accumulates in the particulate filter, which will cause the exhaust back pressure of the diesel engine to increase. When the exhaust back pressure reaches a certain level, the performance of the diesel engine begins to deteriorate. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly remove the carbon soot particles to restore the particulate filter to its original working state. Therefore, a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is added to the National VI system to capture and collect the carbon soot particles, and then a mechanical nozzle is added as the main component of the injection system to burn the collected carbon soot and other substances. At present, the mechanical nozzle has become a part of the DPF injection system, which can meet the requirements of the National VI emission regulations and effectively reduce the content of carbon soot particulate matter in the exhaust pollutants. However, the currently used mechanical nozzles cannot meet the requirements of atomization quality, atomization angle, and atomization area. The invention patent with the authorization announcement number of "CN207178000U" discloses a fuel nozzle for a DPF regeneration system. The sealing form between the valve stem and the valve seat of this nozzle helps to prevent carbon deposition. However, this nozzle still has the following disadvantages: (1) There is a risk of poor atomization; (2) There is a risk of unstable flow rate; (3) The injection angle cannot be adjusted; (4) There is a risk of flow rate fluctuation caused by the side holes being blocked by the spring. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fluid atomizing mechanical nozzle to ensure the atomization effect, atomization angle, atomization area, and flow rate accuracy of the fluid, so that the atomizing mechanical nozzle can work effectively in high-temperature and high-speed gases for a long time.

[0004] The solution to the above technical problem is: A fluid atomizing mechanical nozzle includes a valve body with a fluid inlet, a spring, a valve needle, and a valve seat. The valve seat is installed at the front end of the valve body, and the valve needle is installed in the valve seat and can slide up and down in the valve seat. The front end of the valve needle is in sealing cooperation with the swirl chamber Ⅰ at the front end of the valve seat. The fluid atomizing mechanical nozzle further includes a liquid passing sheet and a swirl seat. The middle of the liquid passing sheet is provided with a valve needle through hole Ⅰ. The front end of the swirl seat has a counterbore, which is sleeved at the rear end of the valve seat. The middle of the rear end of the swirl seat is provided with a valve needle through hole Ⅱ, and swirl holes are evenly distributed around the valve needle through hole Ⅱ. The valve needle through hole Ⅱ and the swirl holes are respectively communicated with the counterbore. The spring is installed between the bottom end of the liquid passing sheet and the swirl seat. The rear end of the valve seat is also provided with a swirl chamber Ⅲ communicated with the swirl holes of the swirl seat, and the swirl chamber Ⅲ is communicated with the swirl chamber Ⅰ at the front end of the valve seat.

[0005] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a spring installation step Ⅰ is provided at the bottom end of the liquid passing sheet, and a spring installation step Ⅱ is provided on the outer circumferential surface at the rear end of the swirl seat. The spring is installed between the spring installation step Ⅰ and the spring installation step Ⅱ.

[0006] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a valve needle automatic centering groove is further provided on the outer circumference of the valve needle through hole Ⅰ in the middle of the liquid passing sheet. The valve needle automatic centering groove is a V-shaped groove or an inner spherical surface groove.

[0007] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the liquid passing sheet is also provided with a first notch extending radially through the outer circumference of the liquid passing sheet and the valve needle through hole Ⅰ.

[0008] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the first notch is a long strip-shaped through groove.

[0009] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the liquid passing sheet is also provided with a second notch on its outer circumference. The second notch is an arc-shaped notch.

[0010] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the swirl chamber Ⅲ of the valve seat is a conical surface or an inner spherical surface structure, and a communicating swirl chamber Ⅱ is also provided between the swirl chamber Ⅲ and the swirl chamber Ⅰ.

[0011] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the swirl chamber Ⅰ at the front end of the valve seat is a conical surface or an inner spherical surface structure; the front end of the valve needle is provided with a conical surface or an outer spherical surface structure that matches the swirl chamber Ⅰ.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the clearance value of the mating surface between the swirl chamber Ⅰ at the front end of the valve seat and the front end of the valve needle is between 0 and 5 mm, and different spray angles can be adjusted by adjusting different clearance values.

[0013] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a metal filter screen is installed in the fluid inlet of the valve body. The metal filter screen is a stainless steel filter screen.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above structure, compared with the prior art, the fluid atomizing mechanical nozzle of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Ensure the atomization effect of the fluid

[0016] The present invention comprises a valve body with a fluid inlet, a spring, a valve needle, a valve seat, a fluid passage plate, and a swirl seat. The front end of the swirl seat has a countersunk hole that is sleeved onto the rear end of the valve seat. A valve needle through-hole II is provided in the middle of the rear end of the swirl seat, and swirl holes are evenly distributed around the valve needle through-hole II. The valve needle through-hole II and the swirl holes are each connected to the countersunk hole. The rear end of the valve seat also has a swirl chamber III that is connected to the swirl hole of the swirl seat. This swirl chamber III is also connected to the swirl chamber I at the front end of the valve seat. During operation, fluid flows through the swirl hole of the swirl seat to the swirl chamber of the valve seat for mixing and acceleration. The centrifugal force of the fluid is then increased by the force of the three swirl chambers. In this structure, the greater the force applied to the fluid, the better the atomization effect. The valve needle is pushed to overcome the spring and open the valve to produce a conical atomized spray.

[0017] In addition, the valve seat of the present invention does not need to be provided with side holes, thereby preventing the side holes from being blocked by the spring after the valve needle opens at high flow rates, causing flow fluctuations and affecting the atomization quality of the product.

[0018] 2. Guaranteed spray angle and spray area

[0019] The valve seat conical surface or inner spherical surface structure and the valve needle outer spherical surface or conical surface structure provided at the front end of the nozzle of the present invention can be adjusted in coordination. By adjusting different gap values, the injection angle can be adjusted, thereby ensuring the adjustment of the injection angle and injection area.

[0020] 3. Ensure fluid flow accuracy

[0021] The valve seat of the present invention does not need to be provided with side holes, which not only can omit the step of processing the side holes during processing, but also can prevent the side holes of the valve seat from restricting the sliding of the valve stem due to burrs and affecting the flow accuracy.

[0022] 4. Enhance the effectiveness

[0023] The present invention can improve the atomization quality of the sprayed fluid, increase the spray angle, increase the spray area and other effects, so that the sprayed fluid can effectively and fully react, thereby enhancing the effect.

[0024] 5. Able to work stably for a long time in high temperature and high speed gas

[0025] The present invention increases the flow rate of the fluid through the swirl structure to quickly remove heat, so that the mechanical nozzle can work stably for a long time in high-temperature, high-speed gas, effectively preventing the fluid from clogging the spray hole due to high-temperature gelation, and extending the service life of the product.

[0026] 6. Good sealing effect

[0027] The front end of the atomizing mechanical nozzle of the present invention is provided with a valve seat conical surface or spherical surface structure and a valve needle spherical surface or conical surface structure, which can play a role in liquid sealing; in addition, a metal filter screen is installed in the fluid inlet of the valve body of the present invention. Compared with the cloth filter screen of the prior art, the metal filter screen is not easy to fall off and damage, and its sealing effect is better.

[0028] 7. It can solve the problem of poor consistency of atomization quality and flow rate when the valve needle opens and closes

[0029] The flow-through piece of the present invention is provided with a first notch and a second notch. When the flow-through piece slides under hydraulic pressure on the valve needle, it can maintain balanced sliding left and right, reducing the problem that the sliding friction of the flow-through piece increases due to the lateral force when unilateral force is applied, which affects the consistency of atomization quality and flow rate when the valve needle opens and closes.

[0030] 8. The structure is reliable

[0031] The bottom end of the liquid passing piece of the present invention is provided with a spring installation step Ⅰ, and the outer circumferential surface of the rear end of the swirl seat is provided with a spring installation step Ⅱ. The spring is installed between the spring installation step Ⅰ and the spring installation step Ⅱ, and the flow rate can be adjusted by adjusting the spring force of the spring.

[0032] The liquid passing piece of the present invention is also provided with a valve needle automatic centering groove on the outer circumference of the valve needle through hole Ⅰ, and the valve needle automatic centering groove can make the valve needle automatically find the center and position.

[0033] Therefore, the structure of the present invention is relatively reliable.

[0034] 9. Prevent liquid leakage, high-temperature coking and jamming of the valve needle

[0035] The atomizing mechanical nozzle of the present invention is sealed by a conical surface, which can prevent liquid leakage, high-temperature coking and jamming of the valve needle.
