Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atomization equipment, in particular to an atomization device. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasonic atomization modules can spray water into the air to form water mist through high-frequency vibration, and are widely used in humidifiers and various air treatment equipment. In the bathroom industry, ultrasonic atomization modules can also be used in bathtub products to create a mist atmosphere; they can also be used in smart toilets to disinfect and sterilize toilets by atomizing disinfectant solutions.

[0003] The ultrasonic atomization module is usually installed at the bottom of the water tank, so impurities in the solution are easily precipitated above the atomization module. In addition, since the atomization process generates heat, and high temperature accelerates the precipitation of scale in the water, the scale in the solution is easily precipitated above the atomization module during the atomization process. Based on the above two reasons, the atomization sheet of the atomization module is easily covered by impurities and scale, resulting in a gradual decrease in the amount of atomization, or even no mist. The atomization sheet needs to be removed regularly for cleaning. When the ultrasonic atomization module is installed in smart toilets, bathtubs and other products, it is very difficult to disassemble and clean the ultrasonic atomization module due to the large size of the product and fixed installation. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems in the related art to a certain extent. To this end, the present invention provides an atomization device.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an atomizing device comprises a water tank and an atomizing module, wherein a mist outlet is provided on the top wall of the water tank, an annular wall is provided inside the water tank, the annular wall extends upward from the bottom of the water tank, the annular wall is circled to form an atomizing area, the area inside the water tank and outside the atomizing area is a water storage area, the atomizing module is installed at the bottom of the water tank and the atomizing sheet of the atomizing module is located in the atomizing area, the mist outlet is located above the atomizing area, a water inlet, a water outlet and a water passage are provided on the annular wall, the water inlet is connected to the water supply end through a water inlet channel, the water outlet and the water passage both connect the atomizing area and the water storage area, the water inlet is located at the lower end of the annular wall, the water outlet extends upward from the lower end of the annular wall, the lowermost end of the water passage is higher than the uppermost end of the water inlet, and the water inlet and the water outlet are both located on the left or right side of the annular wall so that a vortex water flow can be formed in the atomizing area.

[0007] The atomizing device according to the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0008] The atomization module of the present invention is installed at the bottom of the water tank, and its atomization sheet contacts the water in the water tank. When powered on, it generates high-frequency vibration and sprinkles water into the air to form water mist.

When the water level of the water storage area in the water tank is higher than the water outlet set on the annular wall, the water in the water storage area enters the atomization area through the water outlet, so that the water level inside and outside the atomization area is roughly the same. At this time, under the impact of the inlet water flow, a vortex can be formed inside the atomization area to further flush the atomization area. The present invention uses a hydraulic vortex to flush the atomization sheet of the atomization module, achieves a self-cleaning effect, and improves the service life of the atomization module. It does not need to be disassembled for maintenance, and is convenient to use.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-3, an atomizing device, comprising a water tank 100 and an atomizing module 200, a top wall of the water tank 100 is provided with a mist outlet 130, an annular wall surface 300 is provided inside the water tank 100, the annular wall surface 300 is extended upward from the bottom of the water tank 100, the annular wall surface 300 is wound around to form an atomizing area 310, an area inside the water tank 100 and outside the atomizing area 310 is a water storage area 110, the atomizing module 200 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 100 and the atomizing sheet 210 of the atomizing module 200 is located in the atomizing area 310, the mist outlet 130 is located above the atomizing area 310, and a water inlet 320, a water outlet 330 and a water outlet 340 are provided on the annular wall surface 300, The cross-section of the water inlet 320 is circular, and the water inlet 320 is connected to the water supply end through the water inlet channel 400. The water outlet 330 and the water outlet 340 are both connected to the atomization area 310 and the water storage area 110. The water inlet 320 is located at the lower end of the annular wall 300, and the water outlet 330 extends upward from the lower end of the annular wall 300. The lowermost end of the water outlet 340 is higher than the uppermost end of the water inlet 320, and the lowermost end of the water outlet 330 is lower than the lowermost end of the water outlet 340. The upper and lower ends of the water outlet 330 pass through the top and bottom of the annular wall 300. The water inlet 320 and the water outlet 330 are located on the left or right side of the annular wall 300, so that a vortex water flow can be formed in the atomization area 310. The water inlet 320 and the water outlet 330 are located on the same side, and the trajectory of water flowing from the water inlet 320 to the water outlet 330 in the atomization area 310 forms a fan-shaped surface larger than 180°.

[0029] Working principle: When water is added to the water tank 100 through the water inlet channel 400, the water flows from the water inlet 320 into the atomization area 310 along the direction of the water inlet channel 400, flows along the annular wall 300, and flows out from the water outlet 330, during which the inside of the atomization area 310 is flushed, and impurities, scale, etc. are flushed out of the atomization area 310. When the water level of the water storage area 110 in the water tank 100 is higher than the water outlet 340 set on the annular wall 300, the water in the water storage area 110 enters the atomization area 310 through the water outlet 340, so that the water levels inside and outside the atomization area 310 are roughly the same. At this time, under the impact of the inlet water flow, a vortex can be formed inside the atomization area 310 to further flush the atomization area 310.

[0030] It should be noted that the water inlet 340 is set higher than the water inlet 320, so that the flow trajectory of water in the atomization area 310 is to flow from the water inlet 320 to the water outlet 330 along the annular wall 300, and will not flow out from the water inlet 340. If there is not enough water in the atomization area 310, a vortex will not be formed. Therefore, if the water inlet 340 is not set, water will enter the atomization area 310 from the water inlet 320 and then be discharged from the water outlet 330. When the water inlet stops, the water will flow back to the atomization area 310 through the water outlet 330. Before that, the water in the atomization area 310 is only flushed along the annular wall 300, and cannot flush the atomization module 200, and the flushing effect is poor. After the water inlet 340 is set, when the water in the water storage area 110 enters the atomization area 310 from the water inlet 340, a vortex can be formed after there is enough water inside.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water inlet 320 is close to the front side of the annular wall 300, the water outlet 330 is close to the rear side of the annular wall 300, and the water inlet direction of the water inlet 320 is left and right. The incoming water flow closely follows the annular wall 300 and enters the atomization area 310, which helps the water flow to flush along the annular wall 300 and form a vortex water flow in the later stage.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, a guide wall 350 is provided at the water outlet 330. The guide wall 350 is a straight wall and is tangentially connected to the annular wall 300. The guide wall 350 extends outward as an extension of the annular wall 300 to guide water to flow out of the atomization area 310 quickly.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, more than one water outlet 340 is provided, which is distributed along the circumference of the annular wall 300. In order to keep the water level inside and outside the atomization area 310 basically level and the water in the water storage area 110 can flow into the atomization area 310 as quickly as possible, multiple water outlets 340 can be provided.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water outlet 340 is a vertical long opening extending downward from the top of the annular wall 300 to the middle and lower part of the annular wall 300. The long opening structure can increase the water flow rate of the water outlet 340 and keep the water level inside and outside the atomization area 310 basically level.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the center of the atomizing sheet 210 is eccentric to the longitudinal axis of the atomizing region 310. The center of the atomizing sheet 210 is not on the longitudinal axis of the annular wall 300, that is, the two are not concentric, which can prevent impurities gathered in the vortex center from being deposited on the atomizing sheet 210.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, a water inlet control valve 410 and a water inlet pipe 420 are further included, the water inlet channel 400 is connected to the water inlet pipe 420, and the water inlet pipe 420 is connected to the water inlet control valve 410. The water inlet control valve 410 is used to control whether water is added or not.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, a check valve 600 is provided between the water inlet control valve 410 and the water inlet channel 400. The check valve 600 can prevent the liquid or water mist in the water tank 100 from flowing back and contaminating the water inlet control valve 410 and the water source.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, a fan 500 is further included, and the fan 500 is installed on the top of the water tank 100, and the air outlet of the fan 500 is connected to the water storage area 110. During the atomization process, the water mist floats out from the mist outlet 130 of the water tank 100. The fan 500 is provided and the air outlet of the fan 500 is connected to the inside of the water tank 100, which can accelerate the floating of the water mist.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, a water level sensor is provided in the water tank 100. The atomization process consumes water, and the water level sensor is used to detect whether the liquid in the water tank 100 has been completely consumed by atomization. The water level sensor can be linked with the water inlet control valve 410 for control, that is, when the water level in the water tank 100 is low, the water inlet control valve 410 is automatically opened, and the atomization module 200 is flushed during the water inlet process. When the water inlet reaches a high water level, the water inlet control valve 410 is closed to stop the water inlet.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, an overflow port 120 is provided on the side wall of the water tank 100. The overflow port 120 prevents the water level in the water tank 100 from being too high.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, a drain port is provided on the water tank 100, and a drain control valve is connected to the drain port. During the water inlet flushing process, the drain control valve is opened, and the flushing water carrying impurities and scale is discharged from the drain port. After the flushing is completed, the drain control valve is closed, and water is added and atomized.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
