Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of powder raw material preparation, and in particular to an aerosol nozzle. Background Art
[0002] 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a technology that uses materials such as powdered metal to construct objects layer by layer, based on digital model files. The quality of powdered metal, as a raw material, is crucial to the quality of the final product. Currently, there are several methods for producing spherical metal powder in the industry, with atomization being the most popular method.
[0003] Existing technologies primarily improve metal powder production by adjusting molten metal properties, such as viscosity and flow rate, or by heating the atomizing gas to increase its initial velocity. However, powders produced using these techniques still suffer from poor sphericity, a wide distribution of powder strength, a high incidence of satellite and hollow powders, and a low yield per furnace.
[0004] In the process of studying the atomization of molten metal, it was found that when the supersonic atomizing gas forms a Mach ring, a gas reflux area from bottom to top appears in the internal space. The reflux gas impacts the molten metal, causing the liquid flow to form an umbrella-shaped liquid film. The metal powder is formed after the edge and middle part of the umbrella-shaped metal liquid film separate from the main body. Figure 8 , attached Figure 8 From the existing literature "Clogging of ladle nozzles during gas atomization in vacuum induction melting: Influence of draft tube geometry", the formation of umbrella-shaped liquid film and powder particles during the atomization process was simulated.
[0005] Based on existing research, some researchers have proposed using external energy to interfere with the liquid film state and improve powder quality: for example, applying high-frequency vibrations, or locally applying ultrasound or high-frequency magnetic fields. However, these methods require significant modifications to the nozzle structure or even the entire atomization device. Moreover, due to the high density and rapid flow rate of the liquid metal itself, these external effects are not significant, resulting in limited improvement in the quality of the prepared metal powder. Furthermore, they consume a lot of energy, increasing product costs. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Example 1
[0034] Combined with attachment Figure 1-5This embodiment provides an aerosol nozzle, comprising a first spray disc cover 110, a second spray disc cover 120, and an inner rotor 130; the inner rotor 130 is located between the first spray disc cover 110 and the second spray disc cover 120; the inner rotor 130 comprises a connecting portion 131 and a nozzle portion 132, the connecting portion 131 is located on the side of the nozzle portion 132 close to the first spray disc cover 110; at least one disrupting member 135 is provided on the outer wall of the nozzle portion 132, the disrupting member 135 The end of the disrupter 135 extends to the end of the nozzle portion 132; the first spray disc cover 110 includes a conforming portion 111 and a conduit cavity 112, the outer wall of the conforming portion 111 matches the inner wall of the inner rotor 130, and there is a first gap 141 between the outer wall of the conforming portion 111 and the inner wall of the inner rotor 130, and the conduit cavity 112 is set through the conforming portion 111; the second spray disc cover 120 includes a jet port 121, and the jet port 121 Surrounding the outer periphery of the nozzle portion 132, the inner wall of the injection port 121 and the outer wall of the nozzle portion 132 constitute a Laval nozzle structure, and the Laval nozzle structure includes a second gap 142; a gas chamber 140 is formed between the first spray disc cover 110 and the second spray disc cover 120, and the gas chamber 140 is connected to the Laval nozzle structure; at least one group of turbine components is arranged in the gas chamber 140; the turbine component includes at least one turbine impeller 220, and the turbine impeller 220 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 131, and turbine blades 221 are arranged in an array along the circumferential direction on the turbine impeller 220, and the turbine blades 221 are inclined; it also includes an air guide channel 113, and the air guide channel 113 includes an air inlet and an air outlet, and the air inlet is located on the first spray disc cover 110 or the second spray disc cover 120, and the air outlet is connected to the gas chamber 140, and the air outlet is located on the upper side, side or oblique upper side of the turbine impeller 220.
[0035] An aerosol nozzle of this embodiment utilizes the kinetic energy of the high-pressure gas input through the air guide channel 113 to drive the turbine impeller 220 to rotate at high speed, thereby driving the inner rotor 130 to rotate. Since one or more disturbance members 135, i.e., protrusions or grooves, are present on the outer wall of the inner rotor 130, the local intensity of the gas ejected from the second gap 142 is affected, thereby affecting the kinetic energy of the reflux gas at the outlet of the aerosol nozzle, so that the metal liquid film reaches a dynamically stable state, and the edges of the liquid film can be stably torn and broken into spherical metal powders, so that the particle size distribution of the obtained powder is narrowed, the satellite powder rate and the hollow rate are reduced, the yield rate is increased, and the preparation effect of the metal powder is improved.
[0036] An aerosol nozzle of this embodiment works as follows:
[0037] First, the guide tube is inserted into the duct cavity 112, molten metal liquid is introduced into the guide tube, and high-pressure gas is introduced into the atomizing nozzle from the gas guide channel 113. The high-pressure gas enters the gas chamber 140 from the gas guide channel 113 and impacts the turbine impeller 220. Part of the kinetic energy of the high-pressure gas will drive the turbine impeller 220 to rotate. Since the turbine impeller 220 is fixedly connected to the inner rotor 130, the connected inner rotor 130 rotates. Among them, the connecting portion 131 is used to realize the connection between the inner rotor 130 and the turbine impeller 220. It is conceivable that a bearing-like structure can be added between the inner rotor 130 and the first spray disc cover 110, especially between the inner rotor 130 and the conformal portion 111, to improve the rotation condition of the inner rotor 130.
[0038] It is conceivable that a group of turbine assemblies is a stage, a group of turbines is composed of at least one turbine impeller 220, and the turbine assembly can be provided with multiple stages to achieve a better mechanical energy conversion effect. Among them, the turbine blades 221 are tilted. Based on the setting of the air guide channel 113, the air outlet of the air guide channel 113 is located on the upper side, side side or oblique upper side of the turbine impeller 220. As a result, the high-pressure gas impacts the turbine blades 221 at a specific angle. The turbine blades 221 are subjected to pressure and can convert the kinetic energy of the high-pressure gas into mechanical energy, driving the inner rotor 130 to rotate. The setting of the turbine blades 221 also serves the purpose of uniforming the airflow and ensuring the stability of the airflow entering the Laval nozzle structure. It is conceivable that the setting of the first gap 141 is to prevent the inner rotor 130 from contacting the conformal portion 111 of the first spray disc cover 110, so as to avoid interfering with the high-speed rotation of the inner rotor 130.
[0039] In this embodiment, the structure of the air guide channel 113 is preferably a straight channel, and a curved channel shape is also feasible. The main body of the air guide channel 113 can be located only in the first spray disc cover 110 or the second spray disc cover 120, or it can pass through the interior of the first spray disc cover 110 and the second spray disc cover 120 at the same time. The air guide channel 113 only needs to ensure that it has an air inlet connected to the outside, and an air outlet from the upper side, side or oblique upper side of the turbine impeller 220 toward the turbine impeller 220. It can be imagined that it is sufficient to ensure that the high-pressure gas can blow the turbine impeller 220 from the upper side, side or oblique upper side of the turbine impeller 220.
[0040] The high-pressure gas then passes through the Laval nozzle structure and is ejected outward from the second gap 142, which serves as the gas outlet of the Laval nozzle structure. Because the outer wall of the nozzle portion 132 is provided with at least one disruptor 135, i.e., a protrusion or groove, extending to the end of the nozzle portion 132, the airflow ejected from the second gap 142 is disrupted by the protrusion or groove as the inner rotor 130 rotates at high speed, causing the airflow to continuously change. The second gap 142 is designed to prevent contact between the inner rotor 130 and the inner wall of the nozzle 121 of the second spray plate cover 120, thereby preventing interference with the high-speed rotation of the inner rotor 130.
[0041] The continuous change in airflow can be understood as follows: for example, if the outer wall of the inner rotor 130 is provided with a groove, and a point at the nozzle portion 132 is used as the observation point, a low pressure occurs at this location during one rotation cycle of the inner rotor 130. Then, as the inner rotor 130 rotates at high speed, a high-frequency pulsed airflow is formed at this location. Similarly, when the outer wall of the inner rotor 130 is provided with a protrusion extending to the end, from a certain point as the viewing angle, pressure changes will also occur, thereby forming a high-frequency pulsed airflow. It is conceivable that when different numbers of protrusions or grooves are provided, the above-mentioned pulse frequency will change, and the selection and adaptation should be made according to actual usage requirements. It is conceivable that the protrusion or groove on the outer wall of the nozzle portion 132 extends in the axial direction to the end of the nozzle portion 132. The above-mentioned effect can be achieved by using the protrusion or groove in the form of a straight extension or a curved extension.
[0042] After the airflow exits second gap 142, this rotating, high-frequency pulsed airflow creates a backflow, impacting the metal film and causing fluctuations on its lower surface. This fluctuation suppresses the fluctuations that form as the metal flow descends within the flow guide tube, maintaining the umbrella-shaped metal film in a dynamically stable state. This allows the edges of the metal film to be impacted by the gas blown out of second gap 142, resulting in a more stable production of metal powder of the same particle size. This narrows the particle size of the atomized powder, improves sphericity, and reduces the hollowness and number of satellite particles.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] Combined with attachment Figure 1-5 This embodiment proposes an aerosol nozzle, which can be improved on the basis of the above embodiment as follows: the turbine assembly also includes a turbine guide vane fan 210, which is fixedly connected to the first spray disc cover 110, and the turbine guide vane fan 210 is located on the side of the turbine impeller 220 close to the first spray disc cover 110; the turbine guide vane fan 210 includes a plurality of guide blades 211 arranged in an array along the circumferential direction, and the inclination direction of the guide blades 211 is opposite to that of the turbine blades 221.
[0045] In this embodiment, the turbine guide vane fan 210 serves to divide and organize the airflow. High-pressure gas enters the gas chamber 140 from the air guide channel 113 of the first spray disc cover 110. After passing through the turbine guide vane fan 210, the turbine guide vane fan 210 changes the speed and direction of the high-pressure gas. As can be appreciated, the turbine guide vane fan 210 is evenly distributed with guide blades 211, which divide the high-pressure airflow entering the gas chamber 140. The guide vanes 211 also have a diversion effect, directing the high-pressure gas toward the turbine blades 221 at a specific angle. This provides an appropriate airflow direction for the inlet of the working turbine impeller 220, allowing for high torque when passing through the turbine impeller 220. This also improves the operating conditions of the turbine impeller 220, enabling the turbine impeller 220 to achieve better mechanical energy conversion, improve the rotational stability of the turbine impeller 220, and thus improve the rotational stability of the inner rotor 130. This in turn improves the generation of high-frequency pulsed airflow at the second gap 142, ultimately improving the quality of metal powder preparation.
[0046] Example 3
[0047] Combined with attachment Figure 4 and 7 This embodiment proposes an aerosol nozzle, which can be improved on the basis of the above embodiment as follows: adjacent guide blades 211 form a first airflow channel 231 along the axial direction of the turbine guide vane fan 210, and adjacent turbine blades 221 form a second airflow channel 232 along the axial direction of the turbine impeller 220, and the first airflow channel 231 and the second airflow channel 232 are arranged to converge along the axial direction.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first air flow channel 231 and the second air flow channel 232 are arranged to converge in the axial direction, that is, the inlet area of the first air flow channel 231 is larger than the outlet area of the first air flow channel 231, and the inlet area of the second air flow channel 232 is also larger than the outlet area of the second air flow channel 232. On the one hand, the mechanical energy conversion effect of the turbine impeller 220 is improved, the rotation of the inner rotor 130 is improved, and ultimately the preparation quality of the metal powder is improved; on the other hand, the gas flowing out from the first air flow channel 231 and the second air flow channel 232 in the axial direction can expand, further playing a role in uniforming the air flow.
[0049] Example 4
[0050] Combined with attachment Figure 4 This embodiment proposes an aerosol nozzle, which can be improved as follows based on the above embodiment: the turbine blades 221 and the guide blades 211 are twisted clockwise or counterclockwise along the radial extension direction, and the twisting direction of the turbine blades 221 is opposite to that of the guide blades 211.
[0051] In the actual operation of the turbine blades 221 and the guide vanes 211, there are differences in their working conditions along the extension direction of the blades, that is, the blade height direction. Obviously, the linear velocity is the largest at the blade tip and the smallest at the blade root. Therefore, the interaction with the airflow at different positions is also different. Therefore, the turbine blades 221 and the guide vanes 211 of this embodiment have clockwise or counterclockwise twisting along the radial extension direction, so as to conform to the flow direction of the airflow and reduce the airflow loss at the blade root and the blade tip. Among them, the twisting direction of the turbine blades 221 and the guide vanes 211 is opposite, which is an adaptive adjustment based on the working principle of the single-stage turbine assembly. This embodiment can improve the rotation of the turbine impeller 220, thereby improving the preparation quality of the metal powder.
[0052] Example 5
[0053] Combined with attachment Figure 3-5 This embodiment proposes an aerosol nozzle, which can be improved on the basis of the above embodiment as follows: at least one first air vent 201 is provided on the connecting portion 131, at least one air flow cavity 203 connected to the outside is provided on the conformal portion 111, a second air vent 202 is provided on the air flow cavity 203, and the gas receiving cavity 140, the first air vent 201 are all connected to the first gap 141, the second air vent 202 and the air flow cavity 203.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first air vent 201 is provided to allow high-pressure gas to flow into the first gap 141. Similarly, the air flow chamber 203 is also used to allow high-pressure gas to flow into the first gap 141 through the second air vent 202, thereby forming an air layer. The air layer acts as an air bearing to prevent the inner rotor 130 from contacting the first spray disc cover 110, thereby avoiding interference with the high-speed rotation of the inner rotor 130.
[0055] Example 6
[0056] Combined with attachment Figure 3-5 This embodiment proposes an aerosol nozzle, which can be improved on the basis of the above embodiment as follows: the connecting portion 131 is provided with an annular groove 134 on the side close to the conformable portion 111, and the vent hole is provided through the annular groove 134.
[0057] In this embodiment, an annular groove 134 is further provided on the side of the connecting portion 131 close to the conformable portion 111. The surface formed by the annular groove 134 is used to accommodate the high-pressure gas flowing out of the first air vent 201 and the second air vent 202 to better form an air layer, thereby avoiding contact between the inner rotor 130 and the first spray disc cover 110, thereby avoiding interference with the high-speed rotation of the inner rotor 130.
[0058] Example 7
[0059] Combined with attachment Figure 4 and 5 , this embodiment proposes an aerosol nozzle, which can be improved as follows based on the above embodiment: at least one group of compressor components is arranged in the gas volume chamber 140, and the compressor component is located on the side of the turbine component close to the second spray disc cover 120; the compressor component includes a compressor impeller 240 and a compressor static impeller 250, the compressor impeller 240 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 131, the compressor static impeller 250 is fixedly connected to the second spray disc cover 120, and the compressor impeller 240 is located between the compressor static impeller 250 and the turbine assembly; the compressor static impeller 250 includes a plurality of guide vanes 251 arranged in an array along the circumferential direction, the compressor impeller 240 includes a plurality of compression blades 241 arranged in an array along the circumferential direction, the guide vanes 251 are inclination direction opposite to that of the compression blades 241, and the inclination direction of the compression blades 241 is opposite to that of the turbine blades 221.
[0060] In this embodiment, the compressor impeller 240 is also connected to the inner rotor 130, and uses the power transmitted by the turbine impeller 220 to compress the gas that has lost some kinetic energy into the next stage. The compressor assembly of this embodiment plays a role in gas pressure compensation. The gas passing through the compressor impeller 240 enters the compressor static impeller 250, achieving a certain degree of gas pressure compensation, thereby compensating the air flow pressure entering the Laval nozzle structure and the air flow pressure ejected from the second gap 142, thereby improving the morphology of the umbrella-shaped liquid film and ultimately improving the preparation quality of the metal powder. Among them, the compressor static impeller 250 plays a role in uniforming the air flow, so that the kinetic energy of the gas is evenly distributed in the space. It is conceivable that the compressor assembly can be continuously provided with multiple stages to achieve better pressure compensation.
[0061] Example 8
[0062] Combined with attachment Figure 4 and 7 This embodiment proposes an aerosol nozzle, which can be improved on the basis of the above embodiment as follows: adjacent guide vanes 251 form a third air flow channel 233 along the axial direction of the compressor static impeller 250, and adjacent compressor blades 241 form a fourth air flow channel 234 along the axial direction of the compressor dynamic impeller 240, and the third air flow channel 233 and the fourth air flow channel 234 are arranged to diffuse along the axial direction.
[0063] The compressor assembly of this embodiment uses the principle of diffusion supercharging to increase the pressure. Therefore, the third air flow channel 233 and the fourth air flow channel 234 of this embodiment are diffusely arranged in the axial direction, so that the outlet area of the third air flow channel 233 and the fourth air flow channel 234 is larger than the inlet area. In the process of gas flowing through the third air flow channel 233 and the fourth air flow channel 234, as the compressor impeller 240 continues to rotate at high speed, the pressure and speed of the high-pressure gas continue to change, thereby using the diffusion principle to increase the gas pressure.
[0064] Example 9
[0065] Combined with attachment Figure 4 This embodiment proposes an aerosol nozzle, which can be improved on the basis of the above embodiment as follows: the guide vanes 251 and the compressor blades 241 are twisted clockwise or counterclockwise along the radial extension direction, and the twisting directions of the guide vanes 251 and the compressor blades 241 are opposite.
[0066] In actual operation, the guide vanes 251 and compressor blades 241 exhibit differences in their operating conditions along the blade extension direction, i.e., along the blade height. Obviously, the linear velocity is greatest at the blade tip and smallest at the blade root. Consequently, the interaction with the airflow varies at different locations. Therefore, the guide vanes 251 and compressor blades 241 of this embodiment exhibit clockwise or counterclockwise twisting along their radial extension direction to align with the airflow and reduce airflow losses at the blade root and tip.
[0067] The torsion directions of the guide vanes 251 and the compressor blades 241 are opposite, which is an adaptive adjustment based on the working principle of a single-stage compressor assembly.
[0068] Example 10
[0069] Combined with attachment Figure 1-8 This embodiment proposes an aerosol nozzle, which can be improved as follows based on the above embodiment: the first spray disc cover 110, the second spray disc cover 120 and the inner rotor 130 are made of metal, or a metal and ceramic composite material, or ceramic material, or polymer material.
[0070] As you can imagine, the atomizing nozzle can handle different temperatures depending on the temperature of the metal liquid flow. For applications with low temperature requirements, polymer materials or steel materials such as stainless steel can be used. For relatively high temperature applications, titanium or even nickel-containing materials can be used. For applications with more stringent temperature requirements, ceramic materials or ceramic and metal composite materials can be used. When metal is used, due to its certain thermal conductivity, the high-pressure gas can be heated to further affect the tearing of the umbrella-shaped liquid film, thereby improving the preparation effect of the metal powder.
