Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of micro / nano bubble generation equipment technology, and in particular to a novel nanomachine. Background Technology

[0002] Micro- and nanobubbles, due to their small size (typically 100 nm to 10 μm in diameter), large specific surface area, and high adsorption efficiency, have irreplaceable application value in many fields. For example, in wastewater treatment, they can efficiently adsorb pollutants in water; in aquaculture, they can significantly increase the dissolved oxygen rate of water bodies and promote the growth of farmed organisms.

[0003] However, current nanobubble manufacturing equipment has obvious defects: First, the manufacturing efficiency is low, with a small amount of nanobubbles generated per unit time, which is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale applications; second, it is time-consuming, requiring a long working time to complete a single batch of nanobubble preparation; and third, some equipment also has problems such as high energy consumption and uneven nanobubble size. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a novel nanomachine that solves the problems of low efficiency and long processing time in existing nanobubble manufacturing equipment.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a novel nanomachine includes a water tank, a recovery pipe and a delivery pipe on the water tank, and an air inlet for controlling gas flow on the delivery pipe; a nanogenerating unit detachably connected to the water tank, the nanogenerating unit including a water pump and a nanogenerator; the water pump is connected to the end of the delivery pipe away from the water tank; one end of the nanogenerator is connected to the water pump, and the other end is connected to the recovery pipe; the nanogenerator includes a housing with outlets at both ends and a mounting shaft disposed within the housing, and multiple sets of plates evenly distributed on the mounting shaft, each plate having multiple sets of slits through which water and gas flow, the nanogenerator mixing water and gas entering its interior through the plates and slits to form a nanoscale gas-liquid mixture.

[0006] Compared to existing technologies, this invention offers the following advantages: By evenly distributing multiple sets of plates along the mounting shaft, and utilizing the array of gaps on the plates, the contact area and frequency between water and gas are significantly increased. Water flowing through the gaps is dispersed into fine streams, colliding and shearing with the simultaneously introduced gas to rapidly form a nanoscale gas-liquid mixture, avoiding the inefficient mixing caused by insufficient gas-liquid contact in traditional equipment. Furthermore, the nanogenerator is detachably connected to the water tank, and multiple nanogenerators can be connected in series before being connected to the water tank. The more stages of the multi-stage nanogenerator series connected in the same amount of time, the greater the number of nanobubbles generated, significantly shortening the time required to reach the target bubble quantity, thereby improving the overall process efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the gaps on adjacent sets of sheets are staggered.

[0008] Preferably, the spacing between two adjacent groups of sheets is 2 to 3 mm.

[0009] Preferably, the air intake component includes an air intake pipe disposed on the delivery pipe, with the end of the air intake pipe away from the delivery pipe connected to an external air supply device.

[0010] Preferably, the recovery pipe is located at the top of the water tank, and the delivery pipe is located at the bottom of the water tank.

[0011] Preferably, the upper part of the water tank is equipped with an exhaust pipe and a water inlet pipe.

[0012] Preferably, an external drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the water tank.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the water tank is provided with a base.

[0014] Preferably, the outlets at both ends of the casing are a water outlet and a water inlet, respectively. The water outlet is connected to the recovery pipe, and the water inlet is connected to the output end of the water pump.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, this invention proposes a novel nanomachine, including a water tank 10, a recovery pipe 12 and a delivery pipe 50 on the water tank 10, and an air inlet for controlling the gas flow on the delivery pipe 50; a nanogenerating unit, which is detachably connected to the water tank 10; and a nanogenerator 40 threadedly connected to the water tank 10. Multiple nanogenerators 40 can be connected in series before being connected to the water tank 10. By connecting multiple nanogenerators 40 in series, the more stages there are in the same amount of time, the more nanobubbles are generated. The more nanobubbles are generated, the shorter the time required to reach the target number of bubbles is significantly reduced, thereby improving the overall time efficiency of the process.

[0030] The nanogenerator unit includes a water pump 30 and a nanogenerator 40. The water pump 30 is connected to the end of the delivery pipe 50 away from the water tank 10. One end of the nanogenerator 40 is connected to the water pump 30, and the other end is connected to the recovery pipe 12. The nanogenerator 40 includes a housing 41 with outlets at both ends, a mounting shaft 61 disposed within the housing 41, and multiple sets of plates 62 evenly distributed on the mounting shaft 61. Each plate 62 has multiple sets of slits 621 arrayed on it for water and gas to pass through. By evenly distributing multiple sets of plates 62 on the mounting shaft 61, and in conjunction with the arrayed slits 621 on the plates 62, the contact area and frequency of water and gas are significantly increased. When water flows through the slits 621, it is dispersed into fine streams, which fully collide and shear with the simultaneously introduced gas, quickly forming a nanoscale gas-liquid mixture, avoiding the inefficient mixing caused by insufficient gas-liquid contact in traditional equipment. The nanogenerator 40 mixes the water and gas entering it through the plates 62 and slits 621 to form a nanoscale gas-liquid mixture. The sheet 62 can be made of stainless steel or polymer.

[0031] Traditional equipment often requires extended single-stage operation time to increase total output (increasing time consumption). This solution, however, achieves "multi-unit synchronous operation" within the same timeframe through multi-stage cascading. Total output increases additively with the number of stages (e.g., the output of a 2-stage system in 1 hour ≈ the output of a 1-stage system in 2 hours). This increases total output without extending single-stage operation time, significantly reducing the time required to reach the target bubble volume. The multi-stage system can flexibly adapt to different output requirements (e.g., 1-2 stages for low output, 3-5 stages for high output), avoiding resource waste from "large equipment for small needs" and further optimizing the balance between time and efficiency.

[0032] The number of stages in the above embodiments is determined by the number of nanogenerating units. If there is only one set of nanogenerating units, it is a first-level stage; if two sets of nanogenerating units are connected in series, it is a second-level stage. The number of stages can be increased or decreased according to the actual situation to meet the actual needs. The nanomachine shown in the embodiments of this application is a four-level nanomachine.

[0033] Water tank 10, delivery pipe 50, nanogenerator 40, and recovery pipe 12 form a closed loop: insufficiently mixed water can flow back to water tank 10 through recovery pipe 12 and re-enter the nanogenerator unit for processing, avoiding waste of raw materials; at the same time, the circulation path ensures that gas-liquid mixing is always in dynamic equilibrium, reducing the "downtime" or "inefficient operation" time caused by raw material interruption or uneven distribution, and indirectly improving the time efficiency of the overall process.

[0034] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the gaps 621 on the two adjacent sets of plates 62 are staggered.

[0035] The staggered distribution of gaps 621 causes the gas-liquid mixture flowing out of the gaps 621 of the previous set of plates 62 to directly impact the "non-gap area" (i.e., the solid part of the plate 62) of the next set of plates 62, forcing it to change its flow direction (such as splitting, reversing, or rotating). During this process, the gas is further sheared and torn by the water, and the water is also stirred by the gas to form turbulence, which generates more complex and stronger mechanical shear forces. This not only breaks the bubbles into smaller ones (more easily reaching the nanoscale), but also makes the bubble size more uniform, significantly increasing the contact area and interaction time of the gas and liquid phases, thus improving the mixing efficiency from the source.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the spacing between two adjacent groups of sheets 62 is 2-3 mm.

[0037] Through multiple experiments, it has been verified that a spacing of 2-3 mm (preferably 3 mm) precisely controls the spatial dimensions between the 62 sheets, avoiding both flow obstruction caused by being too close and shear attenuation caused by being too far apart.

[0038] If the spacing between the plates 62 is less than 2mm, the gas-liquid mixture (including incompletely broken bubbles and water flow) will be rapidly "squeezed" after passing through the gap 621 of the previous plate 62 due to the narrow spacing, resulting in a sharp increase in flow resistance and a decrease in overall flow velocity (especially in multi-stage series systems, where resistance will accumulate at each stage, and may even block the flow path in severe cases). In addition, the too close spacing will restrict the diffusion space of the gas-liquid mixture between the two plates 62, so that the turbulence generated by the previous plate 62 is blocked by the next plate 62 before it has fully developed, which will weaken the shearing effect (turbulence is the key driving force for bubble breakage, and insufficient space will lead to a decrease in turbulence intensity).

[0039] If the spacing between the sheets 62 is greater than 3 mm, the distance between the two sets of sheets 62 will cause the kinetic energy of the gas-liquid mixture to decrease during the flow process. The gas-liquid mixture (with high-speed jet and shear force) flowing out from the gap 621 of one set of sheets 62 will gradually diffuse and slow down before reaching the next set of sheets 62 due to the large spacing. The force of impacting the solid part of the next set of sheets 62 will be weakened, and the shear force will decrease accordingly. This will cause the bubbles to not be fully broken up (micron-sized bubbles are easy to remain), and the amount and fineness of nanobubbles will decrease.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the air intake component includes an air intake pipe 51 disposed on the delivery pipe 50, and the end of the air intake pipe 51 away from the delivery pipe 50 is connected to an external air supply device.

[0041] The intake pipe 51 is directly connected to the delivery pipe 50 and the external gas supply equipment (such as air compressors, high-pressure gas cylinders, oxygen cylinders, etc.), which can provide a continuous and stable gas input to the system.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the recovery pipe 12 is located at the upper part of the water tank 10, and the delivery pipe 50 is located at the lower part of the water tank 10.

[0043] The delivery pipe 50 connects to the water pump 30, which is responsible for drawing water from the water tank 10 and sending it to the nanogenerator 40. The lower part of the pipe allows gravity to naturally collect the liquid in the water tank 10 to the bottom, ensuring a continuous and stable water supply. The recovery pipe 12 returns the gas-liquid mixture (containing a large number of nanobubbles with relatively low density) processed by the nanogenerator 40 back to the water tank 10, and its upper part is adapted to the rising characteristics of the bubbles.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper part of the water tank 10 is equipped with an exhaust pipe 11 and a water inlet pipe 13.

[0045] The installation of the exhaust pipe 11 solves the problem of excessive pressure caused by gas accumulation in the water tank 10 during equipment operation. When the gas-liquid mixture generated by the nanogenerator 40 returns to the water tank 10 through the recovery pipe 12, it carries in some incompletely dissolved gas (such as free gas that has not been sheared into nanobubbles). At the same time, air may also be mixed in during initial system operation or water replenishment. These gases will accumulate in the water tank 10, thereby generating pressure.

[0046] The inlet pipe 13 is used to replenish the water tank 10 with new liquid to be treated.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, an external drain pipe 14 is provided at the lower part of the water tank 10.

[0048] The function of the external drain pipe 14 is to provide a channel for the liquid in the external water tank 10.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a base 20 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 10.

[0050] With the base 20 in place, impurities can be prevented from damaging the bottom of the water tank 10.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the outlets at both ends of the housing 41 are the water outlet 42 and the water inlet 43, respectively. The water outlet 42 is connected to the recovery pipe 12, and the water inlet 43 is connected to the output end of the water pump 30.

[0052] The water pump 30 sends water and gas introduced through the air inlet pipe 51 into the housing 41 through the water inlet 43. The water is then mixed by the action of multiple sets of plates 62. After passing through multiple sets of plates 62, the water is sent from the water outlet 42 to the recovery pipe 12 and finally flows back to the water tank 10.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a sensor for detecting the amount of water stored in the water tank 10 is installed inside the water tank 10.

[0054] In this embodiment, the sensor is a liquid level sensor used to detect the water level in the water tank 10. When the liquid reaches a certain height, the sensor automatically stops the water intake by linking the control valve of the water inlet pipe 13 to prevent the liquid from overflowing.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
