Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stage equipment technology, and in particular to a smoke device that uses pipeline oil supply. Background Technology
[0002] Smoke machines are frequently used in stage lighting, stage effects, and scene effects. A traditional smoke machine typically consists of three main parts: a smoke oil storage tank (such as a canister or cylinder), a pump, and a heating element. The principle is that the smoke oil is pumped to the heating element, where it is rapidly vaporized to generate smoke. Because the smoke oil storage tank and pump are essential components, multiple smoke oil storage tanks and multiple pumps are needed to supply smoke oil to multiple heating elements when smoke needs to be emitted from multiple locations on the stage. This results in a large, complex, and inconveniently installed device. Furthermore, the simultaneous operation of multiple pumps generates significant noise, negatively impacting the stage effect. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a smoke device with oil supply via pipeline, which directly supplies oil to the smoke generator from an external oil source, reducing the number of smoke oil storage components, reducing the size of the entire device, making installation convenient, and reducing the number of oil pumps, thereby indirectly reducing noise.

[0007] A smoke generator having a smoke generating chamber having an inlet and an exhaust port, the inlet being used to communicate with the liquid outlet when the hydraulic switch is turned on, and to guide the smoke liquid into the smoke generating chamber;
[0008] A heating element is used to heat the liquid smoke in the smoke generating chamber to generate smoke, and a smoke exhaust port is used to guide the smoke out.
[0009] Furthermore, the oil supply pipeline is also equipped with a throttle valve, which is connected to the oil supply pipeline and is used to control the flow rate of the vapor liquid.
[0010] Furthermore, the throttle valve is a one-way throttle valve.
[0011] Furthermore, the smoke generator is equipped with a temperature sensor, which is used to detect the temperature inside the smoke generating chamber.

[0017] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is installed on the oil supply pipeline to monitor the pressure inside the oil supply pipeline.
[0018] In summary, the smoke device with piped oil supply provided by this utility model has the following technical effects: In specific use, when it is necessary to emit smoke to multiple locations on the stage, it is only necessary to connect the oil supply pipe on the smoke generator to the external oil source respectively, and control the opening and closing of the outlet through the hydraulic switch on the oil supply pipe so that the smoke oil can be delivered to the smoke generation chamber as needed. In this way, the smoke generation chamber can be supplied with oil centrally through the external oil source, reducing the number of smoke storage components and oil pumps, indirectly reducing the size of the entire device. At the same time, due to the reduction in the number of oil pumps, the noise generated is also reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0025] See Figure 1 This utility model discloses a smoke device using pipeline oil supply, including an oil supply pipeline 20, a smoke generator 10, and a heating element. The oil supply pipeline 20 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is used to introduce smoke liquid into the oil supply pipeline 20. A hydraulic switch 21 is provided at the outlet to control the opening and closing of the outlet. The smoke generator 10 has a smoke generating chamber 11. The smoke generating chamber 11 has an inlet 111 and an exhaust port 112. When the hydraulic switch 21 is opened, the inlet 111 is connected to the outlet and is used to guide the smoke liquid into the smoke generating chamber 11. The heating element is used to heat the smoke liquid in the smoke generating chamber 11 to generate smoke. The exhaust port 112 is used to guide the smoke out.
[0026] Based on the above structure, during assembly, the inlet of the oil supply pipe 20 is directly connected to an external oil source (such as a warehouse for storing smoke oil or a cylinder, etc.), and a hydraulic switch 21 is installed at the outlet to control the flow of the smoke liquid. When it is necessary to heat the smoke oil to generate smoke, the inlet 111 of the smoke generating chamber 11 is connected to the outlet through a pipeline. When it is necessary to deliver smoke oil to the smoke generating chamber 11, the hydraulic switch 21 is turned on. At this time, the outlet opens and is connected to the inlet 111, so that the smoke oil inside the oil supply pipe 20 flows into the smoke generating chamber 11 through the inlet 111. Then, the smoke oil in the smoke generating chamber 11 is heated by the heating element, so that smoke is generated inside the smoke generating chamber 11. Then, the smoke is discharged to the stage through the exhaust port 112 to create the required stage effect.
[0027] Specifically, when multiple locations on the stage need to emit smoke simultaneously, multiple smoke devices with oil supply via pipes, as described in this embodiment, can be installed. Since each device is equipped with an oil supply pipe 20, multiple oil supply pipes 20 can be connected to independently set external oil sources to supply oil to multiple oil supply pipes 20 in a unified manner. This allows the smoke oil to be transported through multiple oil supply pipes 20 to multiple smoke generating chambers 11 for smoke generation. There is no need to allocate a separate smoke storage container for each smoke generator 10, reducing the space occupied by the equipment, shrinking the overall size of the device, and making installation more convenient.
[0028] In addition, external oil sources, such as independently set up e-liquid storage chambers or storage tanks, can be used to push e-liquid into the oil supply pipeline 20 by setting up a pressure source. For example, compressed air or nitrogen can be delivered by an air compressor to fill the sealed container containing e-liquid, increasing the pressure inside the container. Under pressure, the oil is transported through the pipeline to the oil supply pipeline 20, thereby reducing the use of the oil pump and reducing the noise during equipment operation.
[0029] It should be noted that the smoke generator 10 in this embodiment can be formed from an existing container such as a tank or cylinder with an internal cavity, so that the smoke generating cavity 11 is integrally formed inside. The heating element can be a PTC heating element or an electric heating tube. During assembly, the heating element can be directly placed inside the smoke generating cavity 11 to directly heat the smoke liquid, or the heating element can be placed on the outer periphery of the smoke generator 10. The smoke generator 10 is made of a material with thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum, so that the heat generated when the heating element heats the outside can be transferred to the inside of the smoke generating cavity 11 through its own thermal conductivity, heating the smoke liquid inside and generating smoke.
[0030] In addition, the oil supply pipeline 20 can be made of existing steel pipes or stainless steel pipes, which have high strength and good pressure resistance, can withstand high pressure, and are suitable for high-pressure oil supply systems. Its internal surface is smooth and the fluid resistance is relatively small, thus ensuring a high oil flow rate and making it more practical.
[0031] More specifically, in this embodiment, the hydraulic switch 21 can be an existing solenoid valve or an oil injector. During assembly, internal or external threads are provided at the inlet and outlet of the hydraulic switch 21, and corresponding external or internal threads are provided on the pipeline to match it, so that it can be connected to the oil supply pipeline 20. Of course, it can also be connected to the oil supply pipeline 20 by means of flange connection or compression fitting connection.
[0032] Preferably, when the hydraulic switch 21 in this embodiment is a solenoid valve, the solenoid valve can be an existing high-frequency solenoid valve. Compared with ordinary solenoid valves, high-frequency solenoid valves can complete the opening and closing actions in a very short time, so as to quickly and accurately open and close the fluid channel, allowing the outlet of the oil supply pipeline 20 to open or close more quickly and control the flow of the internal liquid more effectively.
[0033] When the hydraulic switch 21 in this embodiment is a fuel injector, an existing electromagnetic fuel injector can be selected. The electromagnetic fuel injector has an electromagnetic coil inside. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it generates a magnetic field, which attracts the armature and drives the needle valve and other components to move upward against the spring force, opening the outlet and the oil is sprayed out under pressure. When the power is off, the magnetic field disappears, and the spring force causes the needle valve and other components to reset and close the outlet. By controlling the energizing time and frequency of the electromagnetic coil, the opening and closing time and frequency of the outlet can be accurately controlled, thereby allowing for more precise control of the amount and timing of fuel injection.
[0034] Furthermore, a throttle valve 22 is also provided on the oil supply pipeline 20. The throttle valve 22 is connected to the oil supply pipeline 20 and is used to control the flow rate of the smoke liquid.
[0035] In practical use, when the throttle valve 22 is partially closed, it restricts the flow rate of the smoke liquid, reducing the amount of smoke liquid passing through per unit time. This results in a corresponding reduction in the amount of smoke produced in the smoke generation chamber 11, thus enabling precise control of the smoke concentration. Therefore, during stage performances, the opening of the throttle valve 22 can be adjusted to create smoke effects of varying concentrations, from a light mist to a dense cloud, according to different performance scenarios and effect requirements, thereby creating different atmospheres for the stage.
[0036] Preferably, the throttle valve 22 in this embodiment is a one-way throttle valve 22. Since the one-way throttle valve 22 allows the fluid to be throttled in one direction while flowing freely in the other direction, the probability of backflow of the smoke liquid can be reduced, and the structure is more practical.
[0037] Furthermore, the smoke generator 10 is equipped with a temperature sensor 12, which is used to detect the temperature inside the smoke generating chamber 11.
[0038] Specifically, different smoke generation effects require specific temperature ranges to achieve optimal results. Temperature sensor 12 can provide real-time feedback on the temperature inside the smoke generation chamber 11, thereby assisting the operator in adjusting the power or working time of the heating element to control the temperature inside the smoke generation chamber 11 within the ideal range, ensuring that the smoke is fully vaporized and produces the desired smoke effect.
[0039] Furthermore, the performance of the smoke generator 10 may be affected by different environments. For example, in a cold environment, more energy may be needed to heat the smoke generating chamber 11 to reach the temperature required to generate smoke; in a hot environment, the heating process may need to be optimized to prevent overheating. Therefore, in this embodiment, a temperature sensor 12 is set to detect the temperature inside the smoke generating chamber 11 so as to adjust the working state of the heating element in real time according to the change of ambient temperature, so that the required smoke effect can be generated normally in both hot summer and cold winter.
[0040] Furthermore, a smoke exhaust pipe 30 is provided at the smoke exhaust outlet 112, which is connected to the smoke generating chamber 11. In this way, the smoke can be guided to a specific direction and position through the smoke exhaust pipe 30, instead of spreading randomly to the surroundings. For example, in a stage performance, placing the smoke exhaust pipe 30 at a specific position on the stage can accurately guide the smoke to the area around the actors, above or below the stage, creating the desired specific effect on the stage and making the distribution of smoke more controllable.
[0041] More specifically, a nozzle 31 is provided at the exhaust pipe 30. During assembly, the nozzle 31 is detachably connected to the outlet of the exhaust pipe 30 so as to adjust the diffusion angle of the smoke through the nozzle 31, thereby changing the coverage range of the smoke. In addition, since the nozzle 31 is detachable, it can be removed at any time to meet the needs of different scenarios. Different shapes of nozzles 31 (such as fan-shaped nozzles 31, circular nozzles 31, etc.) can be used to diffuse the smoke into different shapes to meet the needs of different scenarios, making the design more practical.
[0042] Furthermore, the smoke generator 10 is provided with an insulation layer on its outer periphery, which covers the outer periphery of the smoke generator 10.
[0043] Specifically, by covering the outer periphery of the smoke generator 10 with an insulation layer, the insulation layer can reduce the loss of heat from the smoke generator 10 to the external environment, thereby ensuring a more stable temperature inside the smoke generating chamber 11. This allows the smoke oil inside the smoke generating chamber 11 to fully vaporize, avoiding temperature fluctuations caused by heat loss, and thus ensuring the continuous and stable generation of smoke. In addition, in the stage smoke generator 10, a stable temperature can make the smoke generation more uniform, improving the stage effect.
[0044] It should be noted that the insulation layer can be made of existing materials such as glass fiber insulation material, rock wool insulation material or foam plastic insulation material, such as insulation cotton or insulation board. During assembly, the insulation layer can be glued to the outer periphery of the smoke generator 10 or fixed to the smoke generator 10 by means of connectors (such as screws or bolts).
[0045] Furthermore, the inner wall of the smoke generating chamber 11 is provided with an oleophobic layer, which is coated on the inner wall of the smoke generating chamber 11.
[0046] Specifically, after the atomizing oil enters the smoke generating chamber 11, even if the atomizing oil is vaporized, the smoke produced will still contain oil. By setting an oleophobic layer, the oil can be made difficult to adhere to the chamber wall, reducing oil residue and preventing the formation of oil film or oil droplets that remain on the chamber wall for a long time, thus affecting the smoke generation effect and equipment performance.
[0047] It should be noted that the oleophobic layer can be made of fluoropolymers or siloxane polymers, which have good oleophobic properties, and applied to the inner wall of the smoke generating chamber to achieve the oleophobic effect.
[0048] Furthermore, a pressure sensor 23 is installed on the oil supply pipeline 20, which can monitor the pressure inside the oil supply pipeline 20 in real time.
[0049] Specifically, when the pressure exceeds the set safety threshold, it may mean that the pipeline is blocked, the valve is malfunctioning or there is another abnormality. If not dealt with in time, it may lead to pipeline rupture or leakage. Through the monitoring of pressure sensor 23, the system can give early warning and take corresponding measures, such as closing relevant valves, adjusting the output power of the oil pump or issuing an alarm, to avoid safety accidents caused by excessive pressure.
[0050] In addition, based on the information fed back by the pressure sensor 23, the user can adjust the opening of the hydraulic switch 21 accordingly to maintain stable pressure in the pipeline, keep the flow and pressure of the smoke oil within the required working range, and ensure stable operation of the equipment.
[0051] More specifically, the pressure sensor 23 can be an existing strain gauge pressure sensor or a capacitive pressure sensor. During assembly, the interface of the pressure sensor can be connected to the mounting hole on the oil supply pipeline through threaded connection or flange connection, and a sealing gasket or sealant can be used to ensure the sealing of the connection to prevent fuel leakage, so that the connection between the two is stable and has good sealing performance.
[0052] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
