Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of atomizing device technology, and in particular to an atomizing device for laundry detergent. Background Technology

[0002] Laundry detergent is a solid detergent, typically composed of surfactants, stabilizers, oxidants, and brighteners. The preparation of laundry detergent requires a mixing process, where various raw materials are combined in specific proportions.

[0003] In the production of laundry detergent, spray drying or granulation processes are sometimes required. These processes involve spraying the raw material solution or slurry of the laundry detergent through nozzles or granulators into a drying tower for drying and granulation. During this process, the atomizing components need to be continuously used. This yields laundry detergent granules of a certain size, facilitating subsequent packaging and transportation.

[0004] Related technology can be found in Chinese Patent No. CN210304173U, which discloses a slurry atomizing spray gun device for laundry detergent production. Specifically, it relates to the field of atomization technology in laundry detergent production, including a spray pipe with a first flange at its bottom. A second flange is connected to the bottom of the first flange. A locking bolt is located at the top edge of the first flange, with one end of the bolt passing through both the first and second flanges and extending to the bottom of the second flange. A nozzle steering mechanism and a nozzle disassembly / assembly mechanism are located at the bottom of the spray pipe. This invention connects a transfer pipe to the nozzle pipe and utilizes gear meshing to drive the nozzle pipe with a motor, allowing the nozzle to rotate continuously during spraying for more thorough spraying. Furthermore, fastening screws on the outside of the nozzle pipe securely fix the nozzle pipe to the transfer pipe, facilitating nozzle cleaning and disassembly, greatly improving the equipment's convenience.

[0005] After atomization, the drying tower is shut down first, and then the supply of raw liquid stops. The raw liquid in the atomizing nozzle is emptied by gravity. However, in reality, it is difficult to completely empty the raw liquid in the atomizing nozzle. Furthermore, due to the high temperature inside the drying tower, the raw liquid remaining on the atomizing nozzle will gradually solidify under the residual heat of the drying tower. If there is not much raw liquid remaining, it can be cleared under the pressure of the raw liquid when the atomizing nozzle is used next time. If there is a lot of raw liquid remaining, it will cause the laundry detergent to solidify and clog the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle, affecting the atomization quality. In this case, the nozzle needs to be disassembled and cleaned, which will affect the processing efficiency of the laundry detergent.

[0006] Currently, there are atomizing devices in existing technologies that can unclog nozzles. However, the unclogging components of these devices occupy a large amount of space within the atomizing device's internal cavity, which results in a smaller flow rate of the original liquid being sprayed out, thus affecting the processing efficiency of the laundry detergent granules. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To improve the processing efficiency of laundry detergent granulation, this application provides a laundry detergent atomization device.

[0008] This application provides a detergent atomizing device, which adopts the following technical solution: A detergent atomizing device includes an atomizing tube disposed in a drying tower, an inlet pipe connected to the upper end of the atomizing tube, an isolation component for separating the inlet pipe from the atomizing tube, an atomizing nozzle connected to the lower end of the atomizing tube, and a unclogging component for cleaning the atomizing nozzle between the isolation component and the atomizing nozzle.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during the atomization and drying of laundry detergent concentrate, the laundry detergent concentrate is introduced into the atomization tube through the inlet pipe. After passing through the atomization tube, it is sprayed out from the atomization nozzle into the drying tower. Under the high temperature of the drying tower, the laundry detergent concentrate turns into laundry detergent particles and falls. After the drying tower and atomization device are used, the isolation component can be opened, and then the unblocking component can be opened to clean the concentrate remaining in the atomization nozzle, thereby reducing the occurrence of nozzle clogging and ensuring the processing efficiency of laundry detergent. Moreover, the isolation component occupies less space in the atomization tube cavity, which can ensure the flow rate of concentrate sprayed out, thereby improving the processing efficiency of laundry detergent granulation.

[0010] Optionally, the atomizing tube is provided with an air inlet, and the unblocking assembly includes an air pump, which is located outside the air inlet. The air outlet of the air pump is connected to the air inlet, and a baffle plate for opening and closing the air inlet is slidably connected to the atomizing tube.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the atomizing device is used, the user can operate the baffle plate to slide it open so that the air inlet is exposed. Then, the user can operate the air pump to turn on so that air can be introduced into the atomizing tube. This will blow the remaining liquid on the atomizing nozzle to the outside of the atomizing nozzle through the airflow, thereby cleaning the remaining liquid on the atomizing nozzle, reducing the occurrence of clogging of the atomizing nozzle, and thus ensuring the processing efficiency of the laundry detergent.

[0012] Optionally, the baffle plate is provided with a guide groove, and a push block is slidably connected to the atomizing tube. A ramp is provided on the side of the guide groove near the push block. A clearance groove is connected below the guide groove. The clearance groove is also provided on the baffle plate and is adapted to the push block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the baffle plate is opened, the position of the push block can be moved. When the push block moves, it abuts against the ramp. As the push block continues to move, the baffle plate rises under the action of the push block, thereby exposing the air inlet. Then, the air pump can be operated to blow air into the atomizing tube to clear the blockage. The structure is simple and the drive is convenient.

[0014] Optionally, the isolation component includes an airbag located between the atomizing nozzle and the liquid inlet pipe. When the airbag is fully inflated, it fits against the inner wall of the atomizing pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, before operating the unblocking component, the airbag is first inflated. After the airbag is fully inflated, it blocks the upper end of the atomizing tube. Then, the unblocking component can be operated to open and clean the atomizing nozzle. This reduces the amount of air drawn out by the air pump from the upper end of the atomizing tube, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the atomizing nozzle. In addition, the airbag occupies less space in the atomizing tube cavity, which can ensure the flow rate of the original liquid sprayed out, thereby improving the processing efficiency of laundry detergent granulation.

[0016] Optionally, the push block and the airbag are at the same height. When the airbag is inflated, the airbag abuts against the push block. When the airbag is fully inflated, the push block slides into the interior of the clearance groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, after the drying tower and atomizing device are used, the air bag is inflated by manipulating it. As the air bag is inflated, it comes into contact with the push block. As the air bag is continuously inflated, the push block is pressed into the atomizing tube. Under the action of the push block, the baffle plate is moved up to expose the air inlet. Then the air pump can be operated to blow air into the atomizing tube to clear the blockage. The structure is simple and the drive is convenient.

[0018] Optionally, the output end of the air pump is provided with a detection component for monitoring the baffle plate, and the detection component is electrically connected to the air pump.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when cleaning the atomizing nozzle, as the baffle plate rises, the detection component detects the rise of the baffle plate and transmits an opening signal to the air pump, which can then be operated to start air intake; as the baffle plate falls, the detection component detects the position of the baffle plate and transmits a closing signal to the air pump, which can then be operated to close the air pump, thereby improving the convenience of opening and closing the unblocking component.

[0020] Optionally, a sleeve is vertically provided inside the side wall of the atomizing tube, and the inner cylinder of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the baffle plate. Both ends of the push block in the width direction are provided with elastic elements, and the other end of the elastic elements is fixedly connected to the atomizing tube.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the baffle plate moves, the sleeve can restrict the direction of movement of the baffle plate, thereby causing the baffle plate to move closer to or further away from the atomizing nozzle; when the airbag releases the pressure on the push block, the elastic element can assist the push block to return to its original state, and the structure is simple.

[0022] Optionally, the airbag is annular in shape, with a clearance hole at the center. The wall of the clearance hole is elastically designed, and the clearance hole tends to close when the airbag is fully inflated.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the airbag is not ventilated, the space occupied by the atomizing tube is small, which can ensure the flow rate of the original liquid sprayed out, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the detergent granulation. When the annular airbag is ventilated, as the annular airbag continues to grow, it can block the atomizing tube. Then, the air pump can be operated to blow air into the atomizing tube to clear the blockage. The structure is simple and easy to drive.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. During the atomization and drying of laundry detergent concentrate, the concentrate is introduced into the atomization tube through the inlet pipe. After passing through the atomization tube, it is sprayed out from the atomization nozzle into the drying tower. Under the high temperature of the drying tower, the laundry detergent concentrate turns into laundry detergent particles and falls. After the drying tower and atomization device are used, the isolation component can be opened, and then the unblocking component can be opened to clean the concentrate remaining in the atomization nozzle, thereby reducing the occurrence of nozzle clogging and ensuring the processing efficiency of the laundry detergent. The isolation component occupies less space in the atomization tube cavity, which can ensure the flow rate of concentrate sprayed out, thereby improving the processing efficiency of laundry detergent granulation. 2. Before operating the unblocking component, first inflate the airbag. Once the airbag is fully inflated, it will block the upper end of the atomizing tube. Then, the unblocking component can be opened to clean the atomizing nozzle. This reduces the amount of air drawn out by the air pump from the upper end of the atomizing tube, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the atomizing nozzle. In addition, the airbag occupies less space in the atomizing tube cavity, which can ensure the flow rate of the original liquid sprayed out, thereby improving the processing efficiency of laundry detergent granulation. 3. When the airbag is not ventilated, it occupies less space in the atomizing tube, which can ensure the flow rate of the original liquid sprayed out, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the detergent granulation. When the annular airbag is ventilated, as the annular airbag continues to grow, it can block the atomizing tube. Then, the air pump can be operated to blow air into the atomizing tube to clear the blockage. The structure is simple and easy to drive. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This application discloses an atomizing device for laundry detergent.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A detergent atomizing device includes an atomizing tube 1 disposed in a drying tower. The upper end of the atomizing tube 1 is connected to a liquid inlet pipe 100, and the lower end of the atomizing tube 1 is connected to an atomizing nozzle 11. During the atomization and drying of the detergent concentrate, the detergent concentrate is introduced into the atomizing tube 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 100. After passing through the atomizing tube 1, it is sprayed out into the drying tower from the atomizing nozzle 11. Under the high temperature of the drying tower, the detergent concentrate turns into detergent particles and falls.

[0032] The atomizing tube 1 is equipped with an isolation component to separate the liquid inlet tube 100 from the atomizing tube 1. After the drying tower and atomizing device are used, the isolation component can be operated to open. A blockage-clearing component for cleaning the atomizing nozzle 11 is provided between the isolation component and the atomizing nozzle 11. The blockage-clearing component is operated to open to clean the residual original liquid in the atomizing nozzle 11, so as to reduce the occurrence of blockage in the atomizing nozzle 11 and thus ensure the processing efficiency of the laundry detergent.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The isolation component includes an airbag 3, which is located between the atomizing nozzle 11 and the liquid inlet pipe 100. The airbag 3 is an inflatable airbag. When clearing blockages, the user first operates the inflatable airbag 3 to inflate it. As air continuously enters the inflatable airbag 3, the shape of the airbag 3 becomes annular. A clearance hole 31 is provided at the center of the airbag 3. The wall of the clearance hole 31 is elastically set, and the clearance hole 31 gradually tends to close.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A push block 14 is slidably connected to the atomizing tube 1. The push block 14 is at the same height as the airbag 3. As the airbag 3 is continuously inflated, the airbag 3 comes into contact with the push block 14. An air inlet 12 is provided on the atomizing tube 1. A baffle plate 13 for opening and closing the air inlet 12 is slidably connected to the atomizing tube 1. A guide groove 131 is provided on the baffle plate 13. A ramp is provided on the side of the guide groove 131 near the push block 14. A clearance groove 132 is connected below the guide groove 131. The clearance groove 132 is also provided on the baffle plate 13 and is adapted to the push block 14. As the airbag 3 continues to increase in size, the push block 14 continues to move towards the baffle plate 13. As the push block 14 moves, it comes into contact with the ramp.

[0035] As the push block 14 continues to move, the baffle plate 13 is driven by the push block 14; a sleeve 4 is vertically provided inside the side wall of the atomizing tube 1, and the inner cylinder of the sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 13. When the baffle plate 13 moves, the sleeve 4 can restrict the direction of movement of the baffle plate 13, thereby causing the baffle plate 13 to move towards or away from the atomizing nozzle 11; at this time, the baffle plate 13 moves away from the atomizing nozzle 11.

[0036] As the airbag 3 fills up, the clearance hole 31 tends to close further, thereby blocking the upper end of the atomizing tube 1 and improving the cleaning effect when cleaning the atomizing nozzle 11.

[0037] Under the action of the push block 14, the stop plate 13 continues to move. The push block 14 stops after entering the interior of the clearance groove 132, at which point the air inlet 12 is exposed.

[0038] The unblocking assembly includes an air pump 2, which is located outside the air inlet 12. The air outlet of the air pump 2 is connected to the air inlet 12. The output end of the air pump 2 is equipped with a detection component for monitoring the baffle plate 13. The detection component is electrically connected to the air pump 2.

[0039] When cleaning the atomizing nozzle 11, as the baffle plate 13 rises, the detection component detects the rise of the baffle plate 13 and transmits the start signal to the air pump 2, and the air pump 2 starts to intake air.

[0040] The detection component can be an infrared sensor or other detection device that can detect whether the baffle plate 13 is located on one side of the air pump 2.

[0041] As the air pump 2 starts to intake air, the gas enters the atomizing tube 1 from the outside. Since the top is blocked by the air bag 3, the gas flows towards the atomizing nozzle 11. When it reaches the atomizing nozzle 11, it sprays out the residual liquid at the atomizing nozzle 11 to clean the residual liquid at the atomizing nozzle 11, thereby reducing the occurrence of blockage at the atomizing nozzle 11 and ensuring the processing efficiency of the laundry detergent.

[0042] After cleaning one end of the atomizing nozzle 11 for a period of time, the air bag 3 can be operated to deflate. As the air bag 3 deflates, the pressure on the push block 14 gradually decreases. Both ends of the push block 14 in the width direction are provided with elastic elements 141. The other end of the elastic elements 141 is fixedly connected to the atomizing tube 1. The elastic elements 141 can be springs or other elastic elements 141, which can drive the push block 14 to return to its original state.

[0043] As the push block 14 is restored, the supporting force on the stop plate 13 disappears, and it falls due to gravity. As the stop plate 13 descends, the lower end of the stop plate 13 falls to one side of the detection component. After the detection component detects the position of the stop plate 13, it transmits a closing signal to the air pump 2, which can then be operated to close the air pump 2, thereby improving the convenience of opening and closing the blockage component.

[0044] After the airbag 3 is deflated, it occupies less space in the inner cavity of the atomizing tube 1, which can ensure the flow rate of the original liquid sprayed out, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the laundry detergent granulation.

[0045] The implementation principle of the atomizing device for laundry detergent in this application embodiment is as follows: After the drying tower and atomizing device are used, the air bag 3 is inflated. As the air bag 3 is inflated, it drives the push block 14 to move. Under the drive of the push block 14, the baffle plate 13 is moved, thereby exposing the air inlet 12. The air bag 3 blocks the upper end of the atomizing tube 1. After the detection component detects the sliding of the baffle plate 13, it transmits the opening signal to the air pump 2. The air pump 2 introduces gas into the atomizing tube 1. Under the action of the air pump 2, the residual raw liquid at the atomizing nozzle 11 is sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle 11 to clean the residual raw liquid at the atomizing nozzle 11, thereby reducing the occurrence of blockage at the atomizing nozzle 11 and ensuring the processing efficiency of the laundry detergent. After the atomizing nozzle 11 is cleaned, the air bag 3 can be deflated. The deflated air bag 3 occupies less space in the inner cavity of the atomizing tube 1, which can ensure the flow rate of raw liquid sprayed out, thereby improving the processing efficiency of laundry detergent granulation.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
