Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photocatalytic coating technology, and particularly relates to a nanoscale photocatalytic coating and its spraying device. Background Technology
[0002] Photocatalysts are nanoscale metal oxide materials (titanium dioxide is commonly used). Coated onto a substrate surface, they exhibit strong catalytic degradation capabilities under light: effectively degrading toxic and harmful gases in the air; effectively killing various bacteria and decomposing and neutralizing toxins released by bacteria or fungi; and also possessing deodorizing and anti-fouling functions. Under light irradiation, photocatalysts produce a photocatalytic reaction similar to photosynthesis, generating highly oxidizing free hydroxyl radicals and reactive oxygen species. These have strong photo-oxidation and reduction capabilities, capable of oxidizing and decomposing various organic compounds and some inorganic substances. They can destroy bacterial cell membranes and solidify viral proteins, killing bacteria and decomposing organic pollutants into harmless water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and other harmless substances. Therefore, they possess extremely strong bactericidal, deodorizing, mildew-proof, anti-fouling, self-cleaning, and air-purifying functions.
[0003] However, existing photocatalytic coatings cannot effectively remove scale during heating when sprayed onto the surface of heating tubes. Therefore, we propose a nanoscale photocatalytic coating and its spraying device. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Furthermore, the preservative is sodium propionate, the defoamer is a mixture of organosilicon and mineral oil, and the surfactant is an alkoxylated alcohol.
[0030] In addition, the present invention also discloses a spraying device for nanoscale photocatalytic coating, including a main body 5, a first protective chamber 6 fixedly connected to the front of the main body 5, a second protective chamber 3 fixedly connected to the rear of the main body 5, an annular conveyor line 8 connected to the upper inside of the first protective chamber 6 and the second protective chamber 3 by bolts, a bracket 9 connected to the lower part of the annular conveyor line 8, an electric heating tube 11 to be sprayed connected to the lower part of the bracket 9, a spray nozzle 13 respectively embedded on the front and rear sides of the main body 5, a pressurized mixing chamber 10 fixedly connected to the upper part of the main body, a compressed air connector 16 for receiving pressurized air connected to the upper left side of the pressurized mixing chamber 10, a feed pipe 17 for receiving coating fixedly connected to the upper right side of the pressurized mixing chamber 10, and a discharge pipe 18 fixedly connected to the lower part of the pressurized mixing chamber 10, the discharge pipe 18 being connected to the spray nozzle 13 through a connecting branch pipe 19.
[0031] The bracket 9 includes an elastic top plate 92, with hanging holes 93 on the left and right sides of the elastic top plate 92, and the end of the electric heating tube 11 is located inside the hanging hole 93.

[0038] Through a carefully designed nanoscale photocatalytic coating formula, the coating achieves high stability and excellent photocatalytic performance. The function and application are then explained, and finally, a highly efficient air purification effect is achieved.
[0039] Nano-titanium dioxide, as the main photocatalytic component, exhibits strong oxidizing power under light conditions, effectively decomposing harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene to achieve air purification. By optimizing its content ratio, photocatalytic efficiency can be improved while ensuring the stability of the coating. A proper formulation of nano-titanium dioxide ensures the efficient conduct of the photocatalytic reaction, thereby significantly improving air purification efficiency. This solves the problem of low photocatalytic efficiency in existing photocatalytic coatings.
[0040] Alumina solution and zinc oxide solution can serve as carriers for photocatalysts, enhancing the loading capacity of nano-titanium dioxide and increasing the number of photocatalytic active sites, thereby improving the photocatalytic efficiency of the coating.

This solves the problem of easy aggregation of nano-titanium dioxide and improves the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalytic coating.
[0041] Propylene glycol, as a solvent, helps improve the rheological and film-forming properties of coatings, ensuring a uniform and smooth coating, which is beneficial for improving photocatalytic efficiency. The presence of propylene glycol improves the leveling and film-forming properties of the coating, ensuring coating uniformity. This solves the problem of decreased photocatalytic efficiency caused by uneven coating.
[0042] The selection of preservatives helps prevent microbial growth and extends the service life of the coating. The addition of preservatives ensures the effectiveness and stability of the coating during long-term storage, thus solving the problem of coatings being susceptible to microbial contamination.
[0043] By designing a specialized spraying device, uniform spraying and efficient curing of the coating were achieved, ultimately improving construction efficiency and coating quality.
[0044] The workpieces to be coated are continuously fed into the coating area via the circular conveyor line 8, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the coating operation. The design of the circular conveyor line 8 makes the coating process more continuous and efficient, improving overall productivity and solving the problem of low efficiency in manual coating.
[0045] The flexible top plate 92 can automatically adjust its position according to the size of the workpiece, ensuring the workpiece is stably suspended on the hanger 9 and preventing uneven coating caused by workpiece movement. The design of the flexible top plate 92 ensures the workpiece remains stable during spraying, improving spraying accuracy. It solves the problem of uneven coating caused by workpiece movement during spraying.
[0046] The mixing tank 1 continuously stirs the paint, maintaining uniform paint composition, preventing sedimentation, ensuring consistent paint properties during spraying, and improving coating quality. The use of mixing tank 1 ensures the uniformity of paint composition, thereby improving coating quality. It solves the problem of uneven paint composition after prolonged standing.
[0047] In summary, by precisely controlling the proportions of each component and designing a dedicated spraying device, this invention not only improves the photocatalytic efficiency of nanoscale photocatalytic coatings but also significantly enhances the coating's stability, adhesion, and application efficiency, ultimately achieving a highly efficient, long-lasting, and uniform air purification effect. These improvements address several problems existing in the prior art, providing a more reliable and efficient solution for the application of photocatalytic coatings.
