Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of water treatment devices, and particularly relates to a micro-nano bubble generating device for an irrigation system. Background Art

[0002] Traditional irrigation systems use large-volume water droplets or water flows to supply water and nutrients to crops. However, this method has certain disadvantages, including a large consumption of water resources, waste of fertilizers and other chemicals, and mechanical damage to crops.

[0003] In recent years, irrigation systems using micro-nano bubble technology have received increasing attention. Micro-nano bubbles are composed of bubbles with diameters ranging from 10 micrometers to 1000 micrometers, and they can remain stably suspended in water for more than 30 minutes. Introducing oxygen-rich micro-nano bubbles into irrigation water can not only provide more oxygen to the roots, but also reduce the surface tension of water, improve the water permeability and water retention capacity, thereby reducing the number of irrigation times and water consumption.

[0004] Traditional bubble generating devices usually use a high-pressure air pump to compress gas to a certain pressure, and then inject the gas into water through gas pressure to form micro-nano bubbles. However, this method has problems such as high energy consumption, high noise, and high safety risks. The existing micro-nano bubble generating devices mainly have two types: the mechanical impact method and the ultrasonic method. The mechanical impact method uses the impact between a high-speed rotating rotor and a stator to generate micro-bubbles, but the generated bubble volume distribution is uneven and they are prone to aggregation. The ultrasonic method uses the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves to generate micro-nano bubbles, which can generate relatively uniform micro-bubbles, but the device structure is complex and the cost is high.

[0005] Therefore, developing a micro-nano bubble generating device that can generate homogeneous micro-bubbles and has a simple structure and low cost brings convenience to the popularization and application of micro-nano bubble irrigation technology, and has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0011] Preferably, the middle section of the variable cross-section structure is cylindrical, and both ends of the water inlet flow channel 5 are frustum-shaped, and the cross-sectional radii of the frustum gradually decrease along the water flow direction.

A mixer is provided at the intersection of the water inlet pipe and the gas supplement pipe. Two pistons 18 are slidably arranged in the gas supplement pipe, and an air injection cavity is formed between the two pistons 18.

[0030] Preferably, an inlet water flow channel 5 is formed between the internal flow deflectors 3. The inlet water flow channel 5 is set as a variable cross-section structure to increase the water pressure and flow rate at the inlet water flow channel 5. The outer wall of the connection between the water inlet pipe and the gas supplement pipe is fixedly connected with a speed regulation motor 7 and a waterproof gasket 10 through a fastening bolt 6. The waterproof gasket 10 is located between the speed regulation motor 7 and the outer wall of the pipeline main body 2.

A bubble generator is arranged below the pressurized turbine 13.

[0031] Preferably, the axis of the rotating shaft 8 coincides with the axis of the water outlet pipe. The mixer 9 is located in the mixer, and the pressurizing turbine 13 is located in the water outlet pipe. The outer diameter of the pressurizing turbine 13 matches the inner diameter of the water outlet pipe.

[0032] Preferably, a pressure regulating spring 19 is connected between the two pistons 18. The outer wall of the open end of the gas supply pipe is provided with an adjusting thread 21, and the gas supply pipe is threadedly connected with an adjusting end cap 22 through the adjusting thread 21.

[0033] Preferably, an air injection port 16 is provided on the piston 18 near the water inlet pipe end. A conical one-way valve 17 is installed on the air injection port 16, and an intake valve 20 is installed on the gas supply pipe. When the pressure regulating spring 19 is released, the conical one-way valve 17 closes and the intake valve 20 opens, and external gas enters the air injection cavity through the intake valve 20; when the pressure regulating spring 19 is compressed, the conical one-way valve 17 opens and the intake valve 20 closes, and the gas in the air injection cavity flows to the mixer through the conical one-way valve 17.

[0034] Preferably, the middle section of the variable cross-section structure is cylindrical, and both ends of the water inlet flow channel 5 are frustum-shaped, and the cross-sectional radius of the frustum gradually decreases along the water flow direction.

[0035] Preferably, the mixer 9 adopts a grid-shaped mixer, which is used to accelerate the internal shearing effect to increase the gas dissolution ability.

[0036] Preferably, the bubble generator includes a bubble generator upper panel 11 and a bubble generator lower panel 12 with the same structure. The bubble generator upper panel 11 is connected to the distal end of the rotating shaft 8 through a coupling 24. The bubble generator lower panel 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe. Jet ports 23 are provided on both the bubble generator upper panel 11 and the bubble generator lower panel 12 and are arranged as rectangular narrow slits.

[0037] Preferably, the jet ports 23 on the bubble generator upper panel 11 and the bubble generator lower panel 12 are arranged in the same specification. When the upper and lower jet ports 23 coincide during the rotation of the bubble generator upper panel 11, the gas-containing high-pressure water flow quickly passes through the jet ports 23 and is quickly dissolved and broken under the high-speed shearing effect and the rapid pressure change effect of the bubble generator upper panel 11 and the bubble generator lower panel 12.

[0040] The water flow entering from the water inlet pipe is first restricted by the internal guide plate 3, the pressure increases and the flow rate accelerates;

[0041] The water flow is sprayed to the mixer 9 and is disturbed and broken, increasing the gas dissolution ability;

[0042] The pressurizing turbine 13 pressurizes the water body, and the pressurized water flow enters the bubble generator. Due to the mutual movement and shearing action of the upper panel 11 and the lower panel 12 of the bubble generator, the breaking of bubbles is accelerated;

[0043] When the jet ports 23 of the upper panel 11 and the lower panel 12 of the bubble generator are not aligned, the pressure at the mixer 9 increases, causing the piston 18 to be compressed and contracted. At this time, the conical one-way valve 17 opens and the air inlet valve 20 closes. The gas in the air adding cavity is pressurized and enters the mixer, and is accelerated and dissolved in water under the internal high pressure;

[0044] When the jet ports 23 are aligned, the high-pressure water flow quickly shoots out through the jet ports 23, the pressure of the water-vapor mixture suddenly decreases, and the dissolved gas in the water is quickly released to generate a large number of micro-nano bubbles. At the same time, the pressure at the mixer 9 decreases, the pressure regulating spring 19 is released, the conical one-way valve 17 closes, and the air inlet valve 20 opens. External gas enters the air adding cavity through the air inlet valve 20;

[0045] Finally, under the action of the circular guide baffle 14, the high-speed water flow further impacts and breaks to increase the formation efficiency of micro-nano bubbles.

[0046] Finally, it should be pointed out that: The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: They can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
