Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aerosol charging, in particular to a tube-plate structure aerosol charging device. BACKGROUND
[0002] For aerosol collection and measurement methods based on electrical principles, the premise of accurate and reliable collection and measurement of aerosols is that aerosol particles can be stably and efficiently charged. The existing charging methods of aerosols mainly include indirect charging and direct charging methods using corona discharge, and the structures mainly include needle-plate structure and wire cylinder structure. Whether it is a needle-plate structure or a wire cylinder structure charger, the charging efficiency of nanometer aerosol particles that can be achieved by the existing method is generally low, generally less than 40%. The fundamental way to improve the charging efficiency of nanometer aerosol particles is to increase the ion concentration mixed with aerosol particles and reduce the loss of nanometer particles in the charging device. The reason for the low charging efficiency of nanometer particles in the traditional corona charging technology is that in the indirect charging technology, there is a lot of loss in the process of ion transport from the discharge zone to the charging zone, so that it is difficult to obtain a high ion concentration in the charging zone; in the direct charging technology, the ion migration zone cannot cover the entire cross section of the aerosol particle flow, so that there is a large proportion of charging blind area. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a tube-plate structure aerosol charging device is proposed. SUMMARY
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tube-plate structure aerosol charging device which uses a tube-plate structure to improve the charging efficiency by causing gas discharge between the edge of the tube and the negative plate.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the basic idea of the technical solution adopted by the present application is:
[0005] A tube-plate structure aerosol charging device, comprising a variable-diameter metal tube, an insulating box, and a variable-diameter tube, the variable-diameter metal tube has a variable-diameter structure with a thick upper part and a thin lower part, a cylindrical insulating object is installed on the outer wall of the thin end of the variable-diameter metal tube, and a tube discharge electrode is arranged at the opening of the lower end of the variable-diameter metal tube. The insulating box is cylindrical and comprises an upper insulating plate, an insulating ring, and a lower insulating plate. The top surface of the insulating ring is connected to the bottom surface of the upper insulating plate, and the bottom surface of the insulating ring is connected to the top surface of the lower insulating plate. A circular hole-shaped inlet is formed in the center of the upper insulating plate, the lower end of the variable-diameter metal tube penetrates the upper insulating plate through the inlet and is located in the inner cavity of the insulating box, and the variable-diameter metal tube is coaxially installed with the upper insulating plate through the insulating object, with the bottom surface of the insulating object connected to the top surface of the upper insulating plate. A flat plate electrode is arranged at the center of the top surface of the lower insulating plate, and a plurality of circular hole outlets are uniformly formed in the lower insulating plate along the circumference of the flat plate electrode. The thick end of the variable-diameter tube is connected to the edge of the bottom surface of the lower insulating plate in a circumferential manner.
[0006] Further, the insulating material, the upper insulating plate, the insulating ring and the lower insulating plate are made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0019] Example 1
[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the tube-plate structure aerosol charging device described in this embodiment includes a variable-diameter metal tube 1, an insulating box, and a variable-diameter tube 5. The variable-diameter metal tube 1 has a variable-diameter structure that is thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom. The variable-diameter metal tube 1 is vertically arranged. A cylindrical insulating material 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of the middle part of the thinner end of the variable-diameter metal tube 1. The insulating material 2 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene. A tube discharge electrode 3 is provided at the lower opening of the variable-diameter metal tube 1. See attached figure. Figure 2 As shown. The insulating box is cylindrical with an internal cavity, including an upper insulating plate 4, an insulating ring 7, and a lower insulating plate 8. All three components are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The top surface of the insulating ring 7 is circumferentially connected to the bottom edge of the upper insulating plate 4, and the bottom surface of the insulating ring 7 is circumferentially connected to the top edge of the lower insulating plate 8. See attached diagram. Figure 1 , 2 As shown. A circular inlet is formed at the center of the upper insulating plate 4. The diameter of the inlet is larger than the diameter of the narrow end of the variable-diameter metal tube 1 but smaller than the diameter of the insulator 2. The lower end of the variable-diameter metal tube 1 passes through the inlet and penetrates the upper insulating plate 4, residing within the inner cavity of the insulating box; that is, the tube discharge electrode 3 is located within the inner cavity of the insulating box. The variable-diameter metal tube 1 is coaxially mounted to the upper insulating plate 4 via the insulator 2. The bottom surface of the insulator 2 is bonded to the top surface of the upper insulating plate 4 with adhesive. See Appendix. Figure 1 , 2 As shown. A flat plate electrode 6 is disposed at the center of the top surface of the lower insulating plate 8 corresponding to the tube discharge electrode 3. The flat plate electrode 6 is a copper film deposited on the PCB board. Several circular holes are evenly distributed around the flat plate electrode 6 on the lower insulating plate 8. (See attached diagram.) Figure 3As shown. The reducer 5 is a copper tube, welded to the bottom of the lower insulating plate 8, meaning the thicker end of the reducer 5 is circumferentially connected to the bottom edge of the lower insulating plate 8. See attached diagram. Figure 1 , 2 As shown.
[0021] This device relies on the self-sustaining discharge between the edge of the variable diameter metal tube 1 and the plate electrode 6. As the aerosol particles flow out of the variable diameter metal tube 1, they will all pass through the ion migration region. This ensures a large ion concentration between the tube and the plate, similar to that in traditional direct charging technology, while avoiding the charging dead zone that exists when using traditional corona discharge structures. During operation, a high-voltage direct current is applied between the tube discharge electrode 3 and the plate electrode 6. When the voltage reaches the breakdown voltage, a gas discharge occurs between the edge of the tube discharge electrode 3 and the plate electrode 6. The gas ions generated by the discharge migrate from the edge of the tube electrode to the plate electrode 6, filling the space between the edge of the tube discharge electrode 3 and the plate electrode 6 with gas ions. When the aerosol flow enters from the aerosol inlet, it mixes with the gas ions as it passes through the discharge gap. The aerosol particles are charged through diffusion-charged aerosol particles. Since all aerosol particles entering the charger flow through the gas ion migration region, the charging dead zone of the traditional needle-plate structure charger is avoided. Therefore, the tube-plate structure charger can significantly improve the charging efficiency of aerosol particles.
