Description

[0001] This invention focuses on the field of environmental governance technology and has specifically developed a "mechanical carbon removal muffler" device. This device aims to effectively solve the problem of treating carbon dioxide and other harmful substances in motor vehicle exhaust emissions, providing a practical solution for environmental pollution control and contributing to a cleaner ecological environment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid advancement of industrialization and the increasing prevalence of motor vehicles, exhaust emissions have become a major threat to the human living environment. Harmful substances in exhaust fumes not only lead to air quality deterioration and air pollution problems such as smog, but also pose serious health risks, such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

[0003] Specifically, all types of mechanical engines, including those in cars, passenger vehicles, freight vehicles, and other types of vehicles, as well as engines in various industrial and construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and ships and vessels used for river and sea transport, all emit exhaust gases containing large amounts of harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, grease, and dust. These substances, when released into the atmosphere, cause varying degrees of pollution, exacerbate the greenhouse effect, and disrupt the ecological balance.

[0004] Currently, most domestic and international technologies for treating carbon dioxide emissions from machinery have limitations, often only addressing the symptoms rather than the root cause. Common exhaust gas treatment methods include exhaust gas detection, switching to gasoline or diesel fuel, catalytic oxidation, chemical reaction, UV light, acid-base scrubbing, chlorination, hydrogen peroxide scrubbing, plasma, and biological methods. Although there are many treatment technologies, their effectiveness in treating engine exhaust gases in practical applications is not ideal, failing to fundamentally solve the exhaust pollution problem. The advent of this mechanical carbon removal muffler promises to revolutionize exhaust gas treatment technology, providing a new approach to completely solve environmental pollution problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention

[0006] This invention aims to create a mechanical carbon removal silencer with a simple structure and scientifically sound design. This silencer can accurately and thoroughly remove harmful substances such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emitted by machinery, fundamentally solving the carbon emission problem of all power machinery and playing a crucial role in improving air quality and creating a clean environment.

[0007] Invention Composition

[0008] This invention mainly consists of a carbon removal cylinder, a filter cylinder, and an external rotor-assisted exhaust motor. It is also equipped with an electric sprayer, a carbon removal liquid bottle, carbon removal liquid, a precision filter element, a circulating liquid pump, and an instrument panel that work in tandem. All components cooperate to form a highly efficient exhaust gas treatment system.

[0009] Working principle

[0010] The mechanical carbon removal muffler uses an advanced combination of physical and chemical methods to treat exhaust gases. The specific working process is as follows: An electric sprayer evenly sprays carbon removal liquid onto the exhaust gases, causing harmful substances in the exhaust gases to react chemically with the carbon removal liquid and transform into harmless substances. A precision filter element further filters particulate matter in the exhaust gases, ensuring the cleanliness of the exhaust emissions. An external rotor assists the exhaust engine to operate efficiently, smoothly expelling the treated clean air, effectively improving and stabilizing engine performance.

[0011] Detailed descriptions of each component

[0012] 1. Carbon removal liquid bottle

[0013] The carbon removal liquid bottle is made of compressed polypropylene polymer compound and has a capacity of 5 liters. This bottle possesses excellent properties such as high strength, high rigidity, heat resistance, cold resistance, and acid and alkali resistance. The bottle cap is 5 cm deep and the bottle mouth diameter is 10 cm. Two vents are located on the top of the cap: one for the liquid inlet and the other for the vent. A 3 cm thick precision filter element is installed inside the bottle mouth to filter impurities in the carbon removal liquid. A drain valve is located at the bottom of the bottle; this valve serves as the interface for connecting the electric sprayer hose bag, facilitating the delivery of the carbon removal liquid.

[0014] 2. Carbon removal cylinder block

[0015] The carbon removal cylinder block can be adjusted according to different types of automobiles. Taking a certain sedan as an example, the length of the carbon removal cylinder block is 20-30cm. Its right end has a flange that connects to the exhaust pipe; the left end connects to the filter chamber, and the interface has a high-precision snap-fit ​​groove with a diameter of 10-20cm. Three spray nozzles are located at the top of the carbon removal cylinder block, spraying carbon removal liquid in three directions: left, down, and right, ensuring full contact between the exhaust gas and the carbon removal liquid, resulting in a chemical reaction.

[0016] 3. Filter Cylinder: The filter cylinder is 15-30cm long, and its diameter interface is the same as that of the carbon removal cylinder and the external rotor-assisted exhaust machine. The interface also features high-precision snap-fit ​​grooves for easy connection and disassembly. The bottom of the filter cylinder is recessed by 2cm, with a drain nozzle at one end for connecting a liquid extractor. The filter cylinder contains a precision filter element for further filtering particulate matter in the exhaust gas.

[0017] 4. External rotor assisted exhaust machine

[0018] The external rotor-assisted exhaust motor is 15-30 cm in length, with its inlet and outlet sizes matching those of the filter cylinder. A snap-fit ​​groove at the interface ensures a tight connection. The motor has three frequency settings for easy adjustment of exhaust volume. A damper at the exhaust motor inlet provides micro-control, and the outlet design is both ingenious and aesthetically pleasing. The total length of these three components can be adjusted according to the vehicle type to match the original muffler size. The connection method utilizes high-tech technology, ensuring a strong seal and easy assembly / disassembly.

[0019] 5. Electric sprayer

[0020] The electric sprayer uses a multi-frequency micro motor with three speed settings. It features a compact design and high-pressure spray. The sprayed mist is rapid and dense, ensuring even coverage of the exhaust gas with the decarbonizing solution. The electric sprayer is powered by a battery, with options for 12V, 24V, and 48V batteries; all DC batteries are compatible. It also comes equipped with three high-pressure nozzles.

[0021] 6. Circulating pump

[0022] The circulating liquid extractor draws the used liquid back into the carbon removal liquid bottle. It also uses battery power, with power ratings of 12V, 24V, 48V, etc., and is compatible with all DC power sources. One end is connected to the bottom of the filter tank, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the carbon removal liquid bottle through a liquid extraction tube, enabling the recycling of the carbon removal liquid.

[0023] 7. Dashboard

[0024] The left side of the instrument panel features the power switch, followed by a level gauge, spray button, pump button, and venting assist button. A "+" indicates an increase, and a "-" indicates a decrease. The center of the instrument panel displays the level, spray, pump, and venting status. Figure 12 This shows a keyboard in a static state. Figure 13 This refers to the keyboard in the application. The parentheses are blank when at rest, and the application displays the operating status of the sprayer, pump, and auxiliary exhaust fan. When the liquid level gauge on the keyboard points to 0 during pumping, it indicates that the decarbonating solution bottle is full; when the pointer points to the opposite side of 0, it means that half of the decarbonating solution has been used; when the yellow light is on, it indicates that the liquid level in the bottle is low or the carbon solution is concentrated; when the red light is on, a new bottle should be replaced immediately.

[0025] The overall workflow involves three spray nozzles rapidly and densely spraying carbon-removing liquid onto the exhaust gas in three directions—left, right, and down. This atomizes the exhaust gas within the cylinder and causes a chemical reaction, with most of the liquid mist settling to the bottom, thus purifying the exhaust gas. The airflow then enters the filter chamber for further filtration by a precision filter element. All the liquid mist is filtered to the bottom of the cylinder and then drawn back to the bottle for secondary filtration and recycling. Simultaneously, an external rotor-assisted exhaust system helps to smoothly expel the purified and filtered exhaust gas, ensuring a stable engine speed.
