Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of spraying, and more particularly to a gas-assisted atomizing nozzle and its sprayer. Background Technology
[0002] Gas-assisted atomizing nozzles and sprayers are widely used in pesticide spraying, disinfection, and drying. Pesticides and other liquids are atomized into fine droplets through gas-assisted atomizing nozzles. Driven by a high-speed airflow, these droplets deposit on surfaces, effectively killing pests and bacteria. Furthermore, the atomization function of gas-assisted atomizing nozzles can also promote the drying of solutions, achieving spray drying. A gas-assisted atomizing nozzle is a nozzle component that uses compressed air to assist in liquid atomization. The liquid and compressed air collide and break up inside and outside the nozzle, producing a fine atomization. Sprayers using this type of nozzle are characterized by good atomization effect, small droplet size, and long range.
[0003] Currently, gas-assisted atomizing nozzles are divided into two types: internal mixing and external mixing. In internal mixing nozzles, the gas-liquid mixing zone is located inside the nozzle, generating droplets through pressure atomization. In external mixing nozzles, the gas-liquid mixing zone is located outside the nozzle, primarily atomizing the liquid through high-speed compressed air flow, forming a two-phase flow composed of high-speed airflow and droplets. Patent document CN201910669205.1 discloses an external mixing inductive electrostatic atomizing nozzle. It utilizes compressed air to generate an axial central airflow and an outer annular airflow. Liquid passes through the annular axial flow channel to form an annular axial liquid flow. After expansion, the central airflow, together with the annular axial liquid flow and the outer annular airflow, forms coaxial pneumatic mixing atomization. The spray shape is a hollow cone. This nozzle has a relatively narrow and long flow channel, resulting in high resistance in both the air and liquid flow channels, high compressed air pressure, and a relatively low spray flow rate. Because the central airflow mixes with the annular axial liquid flow after expansion, the gas velocity is relatively low, leading to a relatively poor atomization effect and relatively large droplet size.
[0004] Most existing external mixing airflow-assisted atomizing nozzles adopt a single liquid flow channel type. The liquid flow channel is generally a central axial flow channel or annular axial flow channel. The liquid forms a single-hole axial jet or annular axial liquid flow through the liquid flow channel. The cross-sectional dimensions of the liquid flow channel and the air flow channel are very small, and the flow channel is long and narrow. The compressed air resistance is generally large, and the compressed air pressure is mostly above 0.1MPa. The spray flow rate is generally small, mostly below 200 ml per minute. This results in problems such as high compressed air energy consumption, poor atomization performance, small fog cone angle and low operating efficiency, thus reducing the efficiency of spraying operations. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Beneficial effects:
[0037] 1. The gas-assisted atomizing nozzle provided by this invention features low compressed air pressure, high spray flow rate, small droplet size, and large mist cone angle, thereby improving liquid atomization efficiency and reducing compressed air energy consumption. Under the same spray volume and operating time conditions, the gas-assisted atomizing nozzle and sprayer provided by this invention have higher operating efficiency and lower power consumption, achieving the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. Furthermore, the gas-assisted atomizing nozzle provided by this invention also features simple structure, high reliability, and ease of use, making it suitable for multiple fields such as pesticide spraying, disinfection, and drying.
[0038] 2. In this invention, the liquid passes through two liquid channels inside the nozzle to form a multi-hole axial jet and an annular radial jet, respectively. The multi-hole axial jet solves the problems of small gas-liquid contact area, small spray flow rate, and low atomization performance of the traditional single-hole axial jet. The annular radial jet further increases the gas-liquid contact area and spray flow rate of the nozzle, and improves atomization performance. Compressed air passes through the nozzle to form a high-speed axial airflow. The high-speed axial airflow forms coaxial and non-coaxial mixed atomization with the multi-hole axial jet and the annular radial jet, respectively. The nozzle provided by this invention simultaneously forms these two mixed atomization modes, greatly increasing the gas-liquid contact area, increasing the spray flow rate of the nozzle, and improving the atomization performance of the nozzle. This makes the nozzle have the characteristics of large spray flow rate, small droplet size, large spray cone angle, and large adjustable flow range.
[0039] 3. The nozzle designed in this invention has a tapered section with a gradually narrowing internal cross-section. The compressed air has the highest flow velocity near the end face of the tapered section and the center hole of the nozzle. At the same time, the liquid jet also mixes and atomizes with the compressed air at this location, making full use of the atomization capability of the axial high-speed airflow, improving the atomization efficiency of the compressed air, and reducing the compressed air pressure and energy consumption required by the nozzle.
