Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cavitation jet technology, and more specifically to a multi-stage cavitation jet injection device. Background Technology

[0002] Water jet surface strengthening and cleaning technology is widely used in aerospace, marine engineering, and machinery manufacturing due to its advantages such as being environmentally friendly and having no heat-affected zone. Among them, cavitation water jetting utilizes high-speed water flow to generate cavitation bubbles in a local low-pressure area. The micro-jet and shock wave generated when the cavitation bubbles collapse peel off dirt or strengthen metal surfaces. Compared with traditional continuous water jetting, it has the significant advantages of low energy consumption and high efficiency.

[0003] The nozzle is the core component for generating cavitation jets. Existing cavitation nozzles mainly rely on a single principle design, such as simple shear nozzles or bellows nozzles, which have limited cavitation intensity and cannot meet the needs of high-intensity cleaning or deep surface strengthening. In order to improve the cavitation effect, the industry has begun to study composite nozzles that combine different cavitation principles, such as nozzles that combine Helmholtz resonant cavities with self-excited oscillation principles.

[0004] However, existing composite cavitation nozzles typically employ a one-piece integrated design. This design has the following significant drawbacks: 1. Extremely difficult to manufacture: To form an effective Helmholtz resonant cavity or bellows-like structure, complex irregularly shaped internal flow channels with specific expansion-contraction ratios need to be machined inside the nozzle. In a one-piece structure, these cavities are often deeply embedded within the workpiece, making them difficult for cutting tools to access. This necessitates extremely high machining precision and process requirements, resulting in high manufacturing costs and difficulty in ensuring the surface finish of the flow channels, thus increasing frictional resistance and affecting jet performance. 2. Fixed and unadjustable structure: Once the one-piece nozzle is manufactured, the natural frequency of its resonant cavity is fixed. It is impossible to fine-tune the cavity structure to match the optimal resonant frequency according to different operating conditions (such as changes in pump pressure or target distance), limiting the equipment's versatility and operational efficiency. 3. Difficult maintenance: The nozzle interior is a vulnerable part. Once wear or blockage occurs inside the one-piece structure, it often has to be scrapped entirely, resulting in high maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a multi-stage cavitation jet injection device to solve the problems of complex internal structure, high processing difficulty and high manufacturing cost of existing cavitation nozzles, as well as the problem of insufficient cavitation intensity and efficiency of the single cavitation mechanism used in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A multi-stage cavitation jet injection device, the multi-stage cavitation jet injection device comprising an inlet pipe, a first connecting pipe, an upstream nozzle, a second connecting pipe, and a downstream nozzle; The downstream end of the inlet pipe is connected to the upstream end of the first connecting pipe, and the upstream nozzle is located at the connection between the two. The downstream end of the first connecting tube is connected to the upstream end of the second connecting tube, and the internal cavity of the first connecting tube is connected to the internal cavity of the second connecting tube, together forming a Helmholtz resonant cavity. The downstream nozzle is located at the downstream end of the second connecting pipe; The fluid flows sequentially through the inlet pipe, the upstream nozzle, the Helmholtz resonant cavity, and the downstream nozzle before being ejected. The downstream nozzle is equipped with an organ-shaped cavity structure for inducing fluid self-excited oscillation.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved the following beneficial effects: 1. At the structural level, it reduces processing difficulty and significantly saves costs: The present invention adopts a "split assembly" structure. The Helmholtz resonant cavity is not machined as a whole on a single part, but is formed by connecting the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe. This means that the complex internal cavity machining can be decomposed into the machining of two relatively simple inner holes of the pipes, avoiding the difficulties of deep hole machining and complex cavity forming, and significantly reducing the requirements for processing equipment and manufacturing costs.

[0008] 2. In principle, multi-level coupling enhances the cavitation effect: The device provided by this invention constructs a multi-stage cascading cavitation system consisting of "upstream nozzle (shearing) - Helmholtz resonant cavity (resonance) - downstream organ pipe nozzle (self-excited oscillation)". The fluid successively experiences high-speed shearing, acoustic resonance amplification in the cavity, and self-excited oscillation pulse at the outlet. The superposition of these three physical effects significantly increases the amount of cavitation bubbles generated and the collapse intensity. Compared with a single-mechanism nozzle, its cleaning or stripping efficiency is qualitatively improved.

[0009] 3. From a fluid dynamics perspective, it is conducive to cavitation development and transport: The multi-stage segmented flow channel design, especially the resonant cavity in the middle, helps maintain the flow field environment inside the pipe, prolongs the time for cavitation bubble nucleation and development, and allows the bubbles to grow to the ideal size before reaching the surface being cleaned, thereby releasing more energy when they collapse.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a multi-stage cavitation jet injection device, which includes an inlet pipe 2, a first connecting pipe 4, an upstream nozzle, a second connecting pipe 7, and a downstream nozzle 13. The downstream end of the inlet pipe 2 is connected to the upstream end of the first connecting pipe 4, and the upstream nozzle is located at the connection between the two. The downstream end of the first connecting pipe 4 is connected to the upstream end of the second connecting pipe 7, and the internal cavity of the first connecting pipe 4 is connected to the internal cavity of the second connecting pipe 7, forming a Helmholtz resonant cavity 8 together. The downstream nozzle 13 is located at the downstream end of the second connecting pipe 7. The fluid flows sequentially through the inlet pipe 2, the upstream nozzle, the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8, and the downstream nozzle 13 before being ejected. The downstream nozzle 13 has an organ-shaped cavity structure inside for inducing self-excited oscillation of the fluid. This invention adopts a split structure, designing the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8 as "formed by the first connecting pipe 4 and the second connecting pipe 7 together", which significantly reduces the difficulty of deep hole processing and irregular internal cavity forming, and facilitates processing, manufacturing and assembly. At the same time, the device constructs a multi-stage interlocking cavitation system of "upstream shearing - midstream resonant amplification - downstream self-excited oscillation". The fluid first undergoes high-speed shearing through the upstream nozzle, and after entering the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8, the pressure pulsation is further amplified by acoustic resonance. Finally, the strong self-excited oscillation is induced by the bellows structure inside the downstream nozzle 13. The three physical effects are coupled and superimposed, which greatly increases the amount of cavitation bubbles generated and extends the bubble growth time by using multi-stage flow channels. This solves the problems of high processing difficulty and high manufacturing cost of irregular internal flow channels in the integral composite cavitation nozzle in the prior art, as well as the limited cavitation intensity of single-mechanism nozzles, which is difficult to meet the requirements of efficient cleaning or deep surface strengthening.

[0020] See Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the outlet of the upstream nozzle extends into the interior of the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8, or the outlet of the upstream nozzle is connected to the interior of the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8.

[0021] See Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the upstream end of the second connecting pipe 7 is inserted into the first connecting pipe 4, and the two together form the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8. In some embodiments of the present invention, the downstream nozzle 13 described above may be a sand pipe or a sand mixing nozzle.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting tube 4 is a tube with a flared inner cavity, and the second connecting tube 7 is a tube with a protruding end, thereby constructing a Helmholtz resonant cavity 8, which also facilitates the modular design and identification assembly of components.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting pipe 4 is a Helmholtz connecting pipe, and the second connecting pipe 7 is an angle connecting pipe. The first connecting pipe 4 is configured as a Helmholtz connecting pipe, and the second connecting pipe 7 is configured as an angle connecting pipe, thereby constructing a Helmholtz resonant cavity 8, which facilitates the modular design and identification assembly of components. At the same time, this also solves the problem of the lack of standardized definition when connecting pipes are adapted to specific flow channel geometry features.

[0024] See Figure 3 The flow channel inside the second connecting pipe 7 is the angular structure cavity 10.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting pipe 4 and the second connecting pipe 7 are connected by threads. Fixing the first connecting pipe 4 and the second connecting pipe 7 by threads not only withstands the axial impact force generated by the high-pressure water jet to ensure structural safety, but also achieves the device's detachability, facilitating maintenance, cleaning, or replacement of damaged components within the internal cavity. This solves the problem that existing connection methods are either non-detachable or lack sufficient connection strength to withstand high pressure, making it difficult to maintain or replace vulnerable internal parts.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present invention, the threaded connection depth between the first connecting pipe 4 and the second connecting pipe 7 is adjustable, and the cavity length of the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8 is adjusted by changing the thread engagement depth. By configuring the threaded connection depth between the first connecting pipe 4 and the second connecting pipe 7 to be adjustable, the cavity length of the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8 can be changed, thereby adjusting the inherent acoustic frequency of the resonant cavity. This allows it to resonate with the self-excited oscillation frequency of the jet through a "frequency-locking" effect, ensuring that the maximum pressure pulsation can be obtained under different operating conditions. This solves the problem that a fixed-structure resonant cavity has a single inherent frequency, which cannot adapt to the optimal resonance requirements under different operating conditions such as pump pressure and flow rate changes, resulting in the cavitation effect not always remaining at its peak.

[0027] It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present invention, the above-mentioned adjustment operation is performed between the first connecting pipe 4 and the second connecting pipe 7, and does not involve the inlet pipe 2.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the upstream end of the second connecting pipe 7 has a protruding structure that protrudes into the first connecting pipe 4. The outer wall of the protruding structure cooperates with the inner wall of the first connecting pipe 4 to form the cavity space of the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8. Utilizing the "insertion-type" assembly principle, the protruding structure at the upstream end of the second connecting pipe 7 is cleverly used to cooperate with the inner wall of the first connecting pipe 4, automatically forming the neck required for the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8. This design completely avoids the difficulty of machining complex chamfers and necks deep inside the pipe, transforming the inner cavity forming into the more controllable outer wall machining. This solves the problem of numerous machining blind spots and extremely difficult precision assurance when machining the "neck" required for the Helmholtz resonant cavity in integrated or traditional pipe fittings.

[0029] See Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the Helmholtz resonant cavity inlet 6 is formed at the connection between the upstream nozzle outlet and the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8, where the fluid undergoes a sudden cross-sectional expansion, causing pressure waves to be reflected. The Helmholtz resonant cavity outlet 9 is formed on the central axis of the protruding structure at the upstream end of the second connecting pipe 7, constituting the cavity space of the Helmholtz resonator. The cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel at the Helmholtz resonant cavity outlet 9 is much smaller than that of the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8. This cross-sectional contraction structure causes a flow resistance effect when the fluid flows through this area, which, together with the volume effect of the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8, determines the natural frequency of the resonant cavity. When the fluid flows through the inlet 6 and outlet 9, due to the discontinuity of acoustic impedance, the pressure wave reflects back and forth within the cavity and forms a standing wave, thereby enhancing the cavitation effect.

[0030] As shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b), in some embodiments of the present invention, the second connecting pipe 7 is provided with a tapered section 71, a throat channel 72, and a widening section 73 arranged sequentially along the fluid flow direction. The tapered section 71 is located inside the protruding structure. It should be noted that the streamlined flow channel with tapered section 71, throat channel 72, and widening section 73 inside the second connecting pipe 7 (especially inside the protruding structure) can effectively rectify the flow and reduce hydraulic losses along the flow path. It can also accelerate and stabilize the fluid again using the Venturi effect, providing an ideal initial velocity field and pressure field for the fluid to enter the downstream nozzle 13. This solves the problem of "excessive local resistance loss caused by abrupt changes in the flow channel when the fluid enters the downstream flow channel from the resonant cavity, resulting in severe attenuation of jet energy".

[0031] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the spraying device further includes a locking device; the downstream nozzle 13 is fixed to the downstream end of the second connecting pipe 7 by the locking device; the locking device includes a locking nut 11 and a locking sleeve 12, the locking sleeve 12 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the downstream nozzle 13, and the locking nut 11 is threadedly connected to the second connecting pipe 7 to press the locking sleeve 12. By using the structure of the locking nut 11 and the locking sleeve 12, the radial clamping force generated by the locking sleeve 12 firmly fixes the downstream nozzle 13, which can prevent axial movement under high pressure and allows for quick disassembly and assembly when the nozzle needs to be replaced due to wear, thereby solving the problem that the downstream nozzle 13, as a vulnerable part, needs frequent replacement under long-term high-pressure erosion, while direct threaded connections are prone to loosening due to vibration or corrosion, making disassembly and maintenance difficult.

[0032] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the bellows cavity structure sequentially includes a bellows cavity inlet 14, a bellows cavity contraction section 15, a bellows nozzle throat flow channel 16, and a gradually widening nozzle outlet 17 along the fluid flow direction. Utilizing the bellows structure formed by the bellows cavity inlet 14, the bellows cavity contraction section 15, the bellows nozzle throat flow channel 16, and the gradually widening nozzle outlet 17, strong self-excited oscillations are induced by the hydroacoustic characteristics of the fluid, generating transient vortex rings and pressure wave reflections within the cavity. This modulates the continuous jet into a pulsed jet with high-frequency pulsating characteristics, generating extremely high "water hammer pressure" upon impacting the target surface. This solves the problem that ordinary conical nozzles produce jets that are mostly continuous flows, lacking pulse impact force, resulting in limited cavitation cloud development and low cleaning and stripping efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall surface of the bellows cavity contraction section 15 is configured as a discontinuous stepped or corrugated structure. Configuring the inner wall surface of the bellows cavity contraction section 15 as a discontinuous stepped or corrugated structure serves as an artificial disturbance source. When high-speed fluid flows through it, it forcibly induces boundary layer separation and shear layer instability, promoting the formation and shedding of large-scale vortex rings. This excites and enhances the self-excited oscillation effect of the jet over a wider flow velocity range, thus solving the problem that smooth contraction walls are difficult to effectively excite boundary layer disturbances, resulting in a high initiation threshold or insufficient oscillation amplitude for self-excited oscillation.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, the upstream nozzle is an independent rigid nozzle core, which is axially pressed and fixed between the end face of the inlet pipe 2 and the stepped surface inside the first connecting pipe 4. Using an independent rigid nozzle core as the upstream nozzle significantly improves the wear resistance and lifespan of the critical throttling element. Simultaneously, the axial pressing and fixing of the nozzle core via the connection structure of the inlet pipe 2 and the first connecting pipe 4 eliminates the need for machining threads on brittle, hard materials, thus protecting the nozzle core and achieving simple installation and positioning. This solves the problem that the upstream nozzle throat is prone to cavitation wear and failure at high flow rates, and that using an integrated machining structure would lead to the scrapping of the entire pipe and extremely high replacement costs.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the upstream nozzle may be integrally formed with the internal flow cavity of the first connecting pipe 4.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure B, in some embodiments of the present invention, the internal flow channel of the upstream nozzle includes a tapered inlet section 41, a throat flow channel 42, and a widening outlet section 43 connected in sequence. The Laval-like flow channel design, comprising the tapered inlet section 41, the throat flow channel 42, and the widening outlet section 43, not only minimizes inlet resistance but also controls the jet diffusion angle and velocity distribution through the widening section. This allows the jet to possess extremely high kinetic energy and an ideal flow state before entering the Helmholtz resonant cavity 8, thereby solving the problems of low flow coefficient and large jet divergence angle in conventional straight-hole nozzles, making it difficult to form a high-energy-density jet to induce subsequent strong shearing and resonance.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inlet pipe 2 is provided with an inlet throat channel 3 and an inlet protrusion cavity 5 in its internal flow channel; the inlet protrusion cavity 5 is located upstream of the upstream nozzle. The inlet throat channel 3 and the inlet protrusion cavity 5 constitute a pre-positioned rectification and pressure stabilization unit. Before entering the upstream nozzle, the fluid undergoes a preliminary contraction and expansion, which helps to eliminate large-scale vortices in the incoming flow and homogenize the velocity distribution, ensuring the stability of the fluid entering the upstream nozzle. This solves the problem that turbulence, vortices, or pressure fluctuations carried in the incoming liquid interfere with the jet stability of the upstream nozzle, thereby affecting the consistency and repeatability of the cavitation performance of the entire device.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the outlet of the above-mentioned multi-stage cavitation jet spraying device is submerged in water to a depth of not less than 40 mm, the jet pressure ranges from 30 MPa to 150 MPa, the distance between the spraying device and the surface to be cleaned ranges from 75 mm to 220 mm, and the moving speed of the nozzle does not exceed 1200 mm / min.

[0039] Example 1 The above-mentioned multi-stage cavitation jet spraying device is applied to the surface cleaning of thin metal sheets, such as... Figure 4 As shown. The jetting device provided by this invention can be installed on a three-axis machine tool, machining center or robotic arm. The thin plate workpiece is placed below the downstream nozzle 13, and the jet nozzle moves relative to the thin plate workpiece. By controlling the jet water pressure, nozzle moving speed and jet angle, the multi-media synergistic jet strengthening process can be changed, and the best jet strengthening parameters can be optimized.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the sheet is conveyed along its length, and the downstream nozzle 13 moves back and forth along the width of the sheet to thoroughly clean the surface of the sheet.

[0041] Example 2 The above-mentioned multi-stage cavitation jet spraying device is applied to the surface cleaning of returned metal scrap, such as... Figure 6 As shown, before cleaning, the surface of the metal scrap was covered with a large number of inclusions and other impurities. However, after being treated by the multi-stage cavitation jet spraying device of this invention under the process conditions of a nozzle submersion depth of 60 mm, a jet pressure of 50 MPa, a moving speed of 800 mm / min, and a target distance of 100 mm, high-performance cleaning of the scrap was achieved. The cleaned surface was free of visible impurities. Figure 6 As shown.

[0042] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims. Furthermore, specific examples have been used in the specification to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention, and the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
