Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention specifically relate to the field of atomization technology. More specifically, the present invention relates to an atomization device. Background Technology

[0002] Atomizing devices are used to increase the humidity of an environment and improve air quality, and can be applied to human dwellings or livestock areas (such as pigsties). Existing atomizing devices generally include a liquid-containing component, an atomizing cover, a first motor for driving the rotation of the atomizing cover, and a self-priming pump for conveying the liquid. The self-priming pump includes a delivery pipe, a pump body, and a second motor. In use, the atomizing cover rotates under the drive of the first motor, and the liquid in the liquid-containing component is transported through the delivery pipe to the rotating atomizing cover under the drive of the second motor. The liquid is then converted into droplets by the rotating atomizing cover and discharged outside the liquid-containing component, ultimately achieving the purpose of atomizing and humidifying the surrounding environment. In existing technologies, the second motor for conveying the liquid and the first motor for driving the rotation of the atomizing cover operate independently, making the overall structure of the atomizing device relatively complex and hindering cost reduction. Furthermore, the self-priming pump, located inside the liquid-containing component, also occupies some of the internal volume of the liquid-containing component, thus forcing an increase in the overall size of the atomizing device.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new technical solution for atomizing devices to solve the problems of excessive size and complex structure of existing atomizing devices. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve one or more of the technical problems mentioned above, the present invention provides an atomizing device.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, an atomizing device is provided. The atomizing device includes: a liquid-containing component having a liquid storage chamber and an inlet for introducing liquid into the liquid storage chamber; a driving component at least partially disposed within the liquid storage chamber of the liquid-containing component; an atomizing cover partially covering the liquid storage chamber of the liquid-containing component such that an annular gap is formed between the atomizing cover and the liquid-containing component; a lifting structure including a drive shaft with helical blades disposed within the liquid storage chamber of the liquid-containing component, the drive shaft being used to connect the driving component and the atomizing cover; and a conveying pipe fixedly disposed within the liquid storage chamber and sleeved outside the drive shaft with the helical blades, the conveying pipe having a connecting port for introducing the liquid in the liquid storage chamber into the conveying pipe; wherein, the driving component is configured to drive the lifting structure and the atomizing cover to rotate, such that the lifting structure can convey the liquid in the conveying pipe to the atomizing cover, thereby ensuring that the liquid can be atomized into droplets by the rotating atomizing cover and that the droplets are discharged out of the liquid storage chamber through the annular gap.

[0006] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the helical blade is 0.5-0.6 times the inner diameter of the conveying pipe, and the outer diameter of the helical blade is 0.75-0.9 times the inner diameter of the conveying pipe.

[0007] In some embodiments, the drive component includes a motor, which is fixedly mounted to the bottom outer side of the liquid-containing component, and the power shaft of the motor passes through the bottom of the liquid-containing component in a sealed manner to be connected to the drive shaft.

[0008] In some embodiments, the drive shaft has a pivot hole and a stepped hole connected to the pivot hole, the power shaft of the motor is inserted into the pivot hole and has a threaded hole, and the atomizing device further includes a first fastening bolt disposed in the stepped hole and capable of entering the pivot hole and engaging with the threaded hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, the drive shaft includes an increasing diameter section connected to the atomizing cap and a fixed diameter section connected to the drive component and having the helical blades, wherein the increasing diameter section has a flow-through circumferential surface for guiding the liquid from the delivery pipe to the atomizing cap, the flow-through circumferential surface being configured such that its overall or partial cross-sectional area gradually increases along the direction close to the atomizing cap.

[0010] In some embodiments, the atomizing device further includes a second fastening bolt that passes through the atomizing cover and is screwed into the diameter-increasing section of the drive shaft.

[0011] In some embodiments, the liquid-containing component includes a bottom wall and a side wall disposed on the bottom wall and together defining the liquid-containing cavity, the side wall surrounding the atomizing cap in a gap-free manner, and the end of the side wall away from the bottom wall being higher than the atomizing cap.

[0012] In some embodiments, the atomizing cap includes a circular portion and a plurality of annular portions sequentially fitted around the circular portion and gradually approaching the bottom of the liquid-holding component. The plurality of annular portions includes at least one parallel annular portion parallel to the circular portion and at least one inclined annular portion inclined relative to the circular portion. The inclined annular portions and the parallel annular portions are arranged alternately along the radial direction of the atomizing cap.

[0013] In some embodiments, the atomizing device further includes a liquid level control component for opening and closing the liquid inlet.

[0014] In some embodiments, the level control assembly includes a float valve partially disposed within the liquid storage chamber.

[0015] In some embodiments, the liquid level control component includes a liquid level gauge disposed in the liquid storage chamber, a switching valve disposed at the liquid inlet, and a control module connected to the liquid level gauge. The control module controls the opening and closing of the switching valve based on the detection result of the liquid level gauge.

[0016] From the above description, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention innovatively proposes a structure that combines power transmission and liquid lifting. This structure mainly includes a lifting structure and a conveying pipe. The lifting structure is connected to a driving component and an atomizing cover, enabling the driving component to simultaneously drive both the lifting structure and the atomizing cover to rotate. Furthermore, with the cooperation of the conveying pipe, the lifting structure can transport the liquid in the storage chamber to the atomizing cover. During rotation, the atomizing cover can atomize the liquid transported by the lifting structure into droplets, and cause these droplets to exit the storage chamber through the annular seam, ultimately achieving the purpose of atomization humidification.

[0017] Through the above methods, the atomizing device proposed in this invention achieves the goal of sharing a single driving component between the lifting structure and the rotating cover, avoiding the structural complexity and high production costs caused by the independent operation of multiple motors in existing atomizing devices. Furthermore, sharing a single driving component eliminates the need for a separate driving component for the lifting structure within the liquid storage chamber, avoiding the problem of a separate driving component occupying internal volume and contributing to a reduction in the size of the atomizing device. Moreover, the atomizing device proposed in this invention can replace the existing technology that uses a self-priming pump for atomization. This invention avoids the problem of self-priming pumps easily clogging and burning out, thereby improving the stability of the atomizing device and reducing corresponding maintenance costs.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0025] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an atomizing device 100 is provided. For example... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the atomizing device 100 may include a liquid-containing component 1, a driving component 2, a lifting structure 3 connected to the driving component 2, an atomizing cover 4, and a delivery pipe 5. The liquid-containing component 1 has a liquid storage chamber 11 and an inlet 12 for introducing liquid into the liquid storage chamber 11. The driving component 2 is at least partially disposed within the liquid storage chamber 11 of the liquid-containing component 1. The lifting structure 3 is disposed within the liquid storage chamber 11 of the liquid-containing component 1. The atomizing cover 4 is disposed on the lifting structure 3 and partially covers the liquid storage chamber 11 of the liquid-containing component 1, forming an annular gap 6 between the atomizing cover 4 and the liquid-containing component 1. The delivery pipe 5 is fixedly disposed within the liquid storage chamber 11 and sleeved around the lifting structure 3. The delivery pipe 5 has a connecting port 51 for introducing liquid from the liquid storage chamber 11 into the delivery pipe 5. In the atomizing device 100 provided in this embodiment, the driving component 2 is configured to drive the lifting structure 3 and the atomizing cover 4 to rotate, so that the lifting structure 3 can transport the liquid in the conveying pipe 5 to the atomizing cover 4, thereby ensuring that the liquid can be flung into droplets by the rotating atomizing cover 4 and causing the droplets to be discharged out of the liquid storage chamber 11 through the annular seam 6.

[0026] Regarding the liquid mentioned above, it can be water, or any other liquid that can be atomized by the atomizing device 100 and used for humidifying the environment. The specific type of liquid is not limited here, and those skilled in the art can make a reasonable selection according to actual needs.

[0027] Furthermore, the material of the atomizing cover 4 mentioned above can be metal or resin. Preferably, the material of the atomizing cover 4 can be stainless steel or plastic. In this embodiment, stainless steel is chosen for the atomizing cover 4 to fully utilize its advantages of high strength and corrosion resistance, thereby improving the service life of the atomizing cover. Those skilled in the art will understand that the choice of material for the atomizing cover 4 is merely illustrative and does not impose any limitations on the choice of material for the atomizing cover 4 in the atomizing device 100 proposed in this invention. Those skilled in the art can make reasonable choices according to actual needs, and these choices still fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0028] Accordingly, the material of the liquid-containing component 1 mentioned above can be metal or resin. Preferably, the material of the liquid-containing component 1 can be stainless steel or plastic. In this embodiment, stainless steel is chosen for the liquid-containing component 1 to fully utilize its advantages of high strength and corrosion resistance, thereby improving the service life of the liquid-containing component. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the choice of material for the liquid-containing component 1 is merely illustrative and does not limit the choice of material for the liquid-containing component 1 in the atomizing device 100 proposed in this invention. Those skilled in the art can make reasonable choices according to actual needs, and these choices still fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0029] In this embodiment, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention innovatively proposes a structure that combines power transmission and liquid lifting. This structure mainly includes a lifting structure 3 and a conveying pipe 5. The lifting structure 3 is connected to the driving component 2 and the atomizing cover 4, enabling the driving component 2 to simultaneously drive the lifting structure 3 and the atomizing cover 4 to rotate. Furthermore, with the cooperation of the conveying pipe 5, the lifting structure 3 can convey the liquid in the storage chamber 11 to the atomizing cover 4. During rotation, the atomizing cover 4 can atomize the liquid conveyed by the lifting structure 3 into droplets, and cause these droplets to exit the storage chamber 11 through the annular seam 6, ultimately achieving the purpose of atomization humidification.

[0030] Through the methods described in this embodiment, the atomizing device 100 proposed in this invention, while achieving the purpose of atomization, also avoids the structural complexity and high production cost problems caused by the independent operation of multiple driving components 2 in existing atomizing devices 100 by sharing a single driving component 2 between the lifting structure 3 and the atomizing cover 4. Furthermore, this arrangement eliminates the need for a separate driving component 2 for the lifting structure 3 inside the liquid storage chamber 11, avoiding the problem of a separately installed driving component 2 occupying internal volume in the liquid storage chamber 11, thus contributing to a reduction in the size of the atomizing device 100. Moreover, the atomizing device 100 proposed in this invention can replace the atomization scheme using a self-priming pump in the prior art. The solution of this invention avoids the problem of self-priming pumps easily clogging and burning out, thereby improving the stability of the atomizing device 100 and reducing corresponding maintenance costs.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lifting structure 3 may include a drive shaft 32 with helical blades 31. The drive shaft 32 is arranged axially within the conveying pipe 5 and is used to connect the drive component 2 and the atomizing cover 4. In use, the drive component 2 can simultaneously drive the drive shaft 32 and the atomizing cover 4 to rotate. Further, during the rotation of the drive shaft 32, the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 can be driven by the drive shaft 32, allowing the liquid to be transported from the connecting port 51 provided on the conveying pipe 5 to the interior of the conveying pipe 5. Furthermore, the liquid transported into the conveying pipe 5 can rise from bottom to top along the axial direction of the conveying pipe 5 under the drive of the helical blades 31. The liquid rising to the top of the conveying pipe 5 can be further transported to the atomizing cover 4, and finally the liquid is flung into droplets by the rotating atomizing cover 4. The droplets can be discharged out of the liquid storage chamber 11 through the annular seam 6 under the action of buoyancy and the pressure difference inside and outside the liquid storage chamber 11, ultimately achieving the purpose of atomization humidification.

[0032] Optionally, the inner diameter of the spiral blade 31 mentioned above can be 0.5-0.6 times the inner diameter of the conveying pipe 5, and the outer diameter of the spiral blade 31 can be 0.75-0.9 times the inner diameter of the conveying pipe 5. Extensive experimental verification shows that when the ratio of the inner and outer diameters of the spiral blade 31 to the inner diameter of the conveying pipe 5 meets the aforementioned description, the spiral blade 31 can form a good fit with the conveying pipe 5, thereby enabling reliable and efficient conveying of liquid from bottom to top along the axial direction of the conveying pipe 5. If the ratio is continuously increased, the conveying effect drops sharply, and the purpose of conveying liquid may not be achieved at all. However, if the ratio is decreased, the conveying effect will also decrease, and in severe cases, the purpose of conveying liquid may not be achieved.

[0033] Furthermore, the pitch of the helical blade 31 can be designed to be 0.5-0.6 times the inner diameter of the conveying pipe 5. The helix angle of the helical blade 31 can be designed to be 20°-25°. This design allows the helical blade 31 to reliably and efficiently convey liquid from bottom to top along the axial direction of the conveying pipe 5 in cooperation with the conveying pipe 5 during the rotation of the drive shaft 32. If the pitch and helix angle are continuously increased, the conveying effect will decrease sharply, or even fail to convey the liquid at all. However, if the pitch and helix angle are decreased, the conveying effect will also decrease, and in severe cases, the liquid cannot be conveyed at all.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the drive component 2 may include a motor 21. Specifically, the motor 21 may be fixedly mounted to the outer bottom of the liquid-containing component 1, and the power shaft 211 of the motor 21 may be sealed through the bottom of the liquid-containing component 1 to be connected to the transmission shaft 32. (Illustratively, as shown...) Figure 3As shown, the connection between the power shaft 211 and the transmission shaft 32 can be as follows: the transmission shaft 32 can have a rotating shaft hole 321 and a stepped hole 322 connected to the rotating shaft hole 321. The power shaft 211 of the motor 21 is inserted into the rotating shaft hole 321 and has a threaded hole. A first fastening bolt 7 is also provided in the threaded hole and the stepped hole 322. The first fastening bolt 7 can be inserted into the stepped hole 322 and the rotating shaft hole 321 and cooperate with the threaded hole, thereby achieving a reliable and effective connection between the power shaft 211 and the transmission shaft 32. Furthermore, this connection method can also achieve quick disassembly of the motor 21 and the liquid-containing component 1, facilitating subsequent maintenance or repair.

[0035] Optionally, the number of steps in the stepped hole 322 mentioned above can be as follows: Figure 3 The diagram shows a stepped structure. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the number of stepped holes can be two or more; this is not limited. Those skilled in the art can select and design the number of steps for the stepped hole 322 according to actual needs. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of steps in the stepped hole 322 is controlled to one. This is because extensive experiments by the applicant have shown that when the number of steps in the stepped hole 322 is one, the drive shaft 32 and the power shaft 211 can achieve a good and reliable connection. If the number of steps is continuously increased, the manufacturing process of the drive shaft 32 will become significantly more cumbersome and complex, and the connection reliability between the drive shaft 32 and the power shaft 211 will not be significantly improved.

[0036] In the above embodiment, this arrangement of the motor 21 enables the power shaft 211 of the motor 21 to be effectively connected to the transmission shaft 32 of the lifting structure 3, thereby allowing the motor 21 to simultaneously drive the transmission shaft 32 and the atomizing cover 4 to rotate. Furthermore, the rotating transmission shaft 32 enables the transport of liquid, and correspondingly, the rotating atomizing cover 4 enables the atomization of the liquid, ultimately enabling the atomizing device 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention to achieve the purpose of atomization humidification.

[0037] Of course, it should be noted that the connection between the power shaft 211 of the motor 21 and the transmission shaft 32 can also be welding, bonding or other methods. No restrictions are placed on the connection method here. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can implement it in a reasonable manner as needed according to the teachings of this invention, and these methods still fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0038] The drive shaft 211 of the motor 21 mentioned above passes through the bottom of the liquid-containing component 1 in a sealed manner to connect with the drive shaft 32. Schematic, a sealing ring can be provided at the connection between the drive shaft 211 and the liquid-containing component 1. This sealing ring can improve the sealing effect at the connection, preventing liquid from the liquid-containing component 1 from flowing out from the connection between the drive shaft 211 and the liquid-containing component 1, thus preventing water leakage.

[0039] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 32 may include an increasing diameter section 323 connecting the atomizing cover 4, and a fixed diameter section 324 connecting the drive component 2 and having the spiral blades 31. During the connection between the atomizing cover 4 and the drive shaft 32, the increasing diameter section 323 provides a larger installation position for the atomizing cover 4. Furthermore, the increasing diameter section 323 enables a reliable connection between the drive shaft 32 and the atomizing cover 4. Optionally, the increasing diameter section 323 has a flow-through circumferential surface 323a for guiding liquid flow from the delivery pipe 5 to the atomizing cover 4. The flow-through circumferential surface 323a is configured such that its overall or partial cross-sectional area gradually increases along the direction close to the atomizing cover 4. This allows the increasing diameter section 323 to form an inverted boss shape (see details). Figure 3 In this embodiment, the design of the diameter-increasing section 323 enables the flow circumference 323a to more disperse the liquid transported by the conveying pipe 5 to the atomizing cover 4, thus avoiding the problem of low atomization efficiency caused by insufficient liquid transport to the atomizing cover 4.

[0040] Optionally, the atomizing device 100 may further include a second fastening bolt 8 that penetrates the atomizing cover 4 and is screwed into the drive shaft 32. In this embodiment, the atomizing cover 4 and the drive shaft 32 are connected by bolts. This connection method is reliable and convenient, and also has low cost, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the atomizing device 100. The number of second fastening bolts 8 can be one or more. Considering factors such as economy, reliability, and assembly, it is recommended to choose three or four. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the number of second fastening bolts 8 is merely illustrative, and they can choose according to actual needs.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the liquid-containing component 1 may include a bottom wall 13 and a side wall 14 disposed on the bottom wall 13 and together defining the liquid storage chamber 11. The liquid inlet 12 of the liquid-containing component 1 is disposed on the bottom wall 13 and / or the side wall 14. The side wall 14 surrounds the atomizing cover 4 with a gap, so that an annular slit 6 can be formed between the atomizing cover 4 and the liquid-containing component 1. The end of the side wall 14 away from the bottom wall 13 is higher than the atomizing cover 4. When water is supplied to the liquid storage chamber 11, external liquid can enter the liquid storage chamber 11 through the liquid inlet 12. During atomization, the liquid that is atomized into droplets by the atomizing cover 4 can be discharged from the liquid storage chamber 11 through the annular slit 6. Designing the end of the side wall 14 away from the bottom wall 13 to be higher than the atomizing cover 4 allows the portion of the side wall 14 above the atomizing cover 4 to facilitate liquid backflow during atomization.

[0042] It should also be noted here that, in order to ensure that the motor 21 can reliably and effectively drive the transmission shaft 32 of the lifting structure 3 mentioned above to rotate through its own power shaft 211, the motor 21 can be further connected to the bottom wall 13 of the liquid-containing component 1 by means of bonding, bolting, fusion welding or welding, or even the motor 21 and the liquid-containing component 1 can be integrated as a single component. Those skilled in the art will understand that the specific connection method between the motor 21 and the bottom wall 13 can be any suitable method. Therefore, the connection method between the motor 21 and the bottom wall 13 in the atomizing device 100 proposed in this invention is not limited here, and those skilled in the art can make a reasonable selection according to actual needs.

[0043] To facilitate the release of residual liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 of the liquid-containing component 1, a drain port and an exhaust valve located at the drain port can be provided on the bottom wall 13. The exhaust valve can be an electric valve or a manual valve.

[0044] In this embodiment, the atomizing cover 4 may include a circular portion 41 and a plurality of annular portions 42 sequentially fitted around the circular portion 41 and gradually approaching the bottom of the liquid-holding component 1. The plurality of annular portions 42 include at least one parallel annular portion 421 parallel to the circular portion 41 and at least one inclined annular portion 422 inclined relative to the circular portion 41. The inclined annular portion 422 and the parallel annular portion 421 are arranged alternately along the radial direction of the atomizing cover 4. In use, the liquid delivered to the atomizing cover 4 by the delivery pipe 5 can be buffered and dispersed by the parallel annular portion 421 and the inclined annular portion 422, thereby allowing the liquid ejected from the atomizing cover 4 to be dispersed into droplets as much as possible before being discharged into the liquid storage chamber 11. Furthermore, the arrangement of the plurality of annular portions 42 can improve the atomization effect of the atomizing device 100. It is worth noting that the atomizing cover 4 is not limited to the structure described in this embodiment; for example, a structure similar to the main body of a household pot lid can also be used, or even a flat circular plate can be selected. Those skilled in the art can design according to actual needs.

[0045] In this embodiment, the atomizing device 100 may further include a liquid level control component 9 for opening and closing the liquid inlet 12. Optionally, the liquid level control component 9 may include a float valve 91 partially disposed within the liquid storage chamber 11. Specifically, when the float valve 91 is disposed within the liquid storage chamber 11 and used to open and close the liquid inlet 12, the solution of the present invention can fully utilize its advantages of simple maintenance, flexibility and durability, high accuracy of liquid level control, water level unaffected by water pressure, and tight opening and closing without leakage. Furthermore, the liquid level control component 9 provided in this embodiment can realize real-time monitoring of the liquid level, avoiding the situation of self-priming pump burning out due to dry running caused by the atomization method using a self-priming pump in the prior art. The setting of the liquid level control component 9 can improve the safety of the atomizing device 100.

[0046] In addition to the technical solution including the float valve 91, the liquid level control component 9 also includes a liquid level gauge disposed in the liquid storage chamber 11, a switching valve disposed at the liquid inlet 12, and a control module connected to the liquid level gauge. The control module controls the opening and closing of the switching valve based on the detection result of the liquid level gauge. Specifically, when the liquid level gauge is disposed in the liquid storage chamber 11 and used to open and close the liquid inlet 12, the solution of the present invention can fully utilize its technical advantages such as simple structure, low cost, convenient use, stable performance, long service life, and easy installation and maintenance.

[0047] The aforementioned control module of this application can be implemented in various suitable ways. For example, the processing module can be implemented primarily by a general-purpose processor (“CPU”) or a dedicated processor (such as a “signal processing unit”), or a combination of both. In some scenarios, the processing module of this application can also be implemented by a programmable logic controller (“PLC”). Therefore, this application does not impose any limitations on the specific implementation of the control module, and those skilled in the art can implement it in a reasonable manner as needed based on the teachings of this application, and such methods still fall within the protection scope of this application.
