Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of atmospheric particle enrichment, and specifically relates to a virtual cutter of a multifunctional PM2.5 aerosol enrichment system. Background Art

[0002] Atmospheric PM2.5 refers to particles in the atmosphere with an aerodynamic equivalent diameter of less than or equal to 2.5 microns, also known as inhalable particles. According to research reports, PM2.5 has a small particle size and a large specific surface area. It is easy to enrich heavy metals, water-soluble inorganic ions, organic matter and other toxic and harmful chemical components, and has a long suspension time in the atmosphere and a long transmission distance. Therefore, the negative impact on human health and atmospheric environmental quality cannot be ignored. PM2.5 has an important impact on air quality, visibility, human health, etc. Many studies have shown that people with underlying diseases will have more serious health effects when exposed to fine air particles. For example, under the same conditions, people with cardiovascular diseases will have more serious lung damage than normal people when exposed to fine air particles. Fine particles can produce cardiovascular toxic effects through direct and indirect pathways, causing a vicious cycle of the heart and lungs, and will also affect the human immune system, nervous system, etc. Therefore, the study of the biological toxicity of haze aerosol particles has become one of the research hotspots and frontier directions in this field of technology. In particular, the toxic and harmful chemical components carried by haze aerosol particles endanger the health of the population and have attracted great attention from the whole society. Studies have shown that in animal modeling experiments, experimental results are increasingly widely considered to be important indicators for toxicity evaluation. For example, exposure tests include whole-body exposure, head exposure, oral and nose exposure, and intratracheal exposure. However, oral and nose exposure experiments on mice for the biological toxicity of atmospheric particulate matter are still limited by aerosol concentration and exposure time. They are still using offline aerosol generators to simulate actual atmospheric conditions, and cannot truly reflect the biological toxicity characteristics of actual atmospheric particulate matter. In addition, the concentration of some toxic ions in the air is below the detection limit, etc. Based on the current state of the prior art, the inventors of this application intend to provide a key part concentration device in a multifunctional aerosol enrichment system, especially a virtual cutter for a multifunctional PM2.5 aerosol enrichment system.

Due to the action of gravity and inertia, the particle-enriched air flow 12 flows from the circular vent holes 22 of the lower plate through the circular vent holes 17 of the upper plate and enters the conical channel 11 of the upper plate. The clean air flow 5 flows to the large-flow air flow channel 25 due to the action of negative pressure. The flow rate of this virtual cutter is controlled by the rotor flowmeter 20, and the rotor flowmeter 20 is connected to the clean air flow outlet pipe and the vacuum pump, and the vacuum pump 26 provides negative pressure.

[0021] The particle-enriched airflow 12 flows through the upper plate conical channel 11 along the upper plate circular vent hole 17 and flows to the tee pipe 23 along the upper plate of the virtual cutter;

[0038] The present invention is further described in detail below through specific examples and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] A virtual cutter of a multifunctional PM2.5 aerosol enrichment system is prepared, as shown in the figure, which is an integrated structure consisting of a virtual cutter main body and its connecting part, a rubber adsorption sheet, a rubber passage tube, a negative pressure passage component, and an annular screw fixing sealing device, including five annular fixing screw buckles 3, which respectively fix the connection between the condenser 1 and the cutter main body, the connection between the clean air outlet pipe 6 and the virtual cutter, the connection between the bottom of the tee 23 and the cutter main body, the connection between the enriched air flow collection circulation pipe 21 and the right side of the tee 3, and the connection between the particle counter and the top of the tee.

[0041] The rubber adsorption sheet and rubber passage tube are made of isoprene rubber, and the negative pressure passage component and annular screw are made of stainless steel; a gap is left between the upper and lower conical channels of the virtual cutter to separate condensed particles from clean air; the vacuum pump is connected to the virtual cutter through a flow meter, and the flow rate and speed of the air flow are controlled by the flow meter.

[0042] When using,

[0043] The saturated atmospheric air flows through the condenser 1 to condense the atmospheric particles, and the condensation insulation bag 15 is wrapped around the outside of the condenser to maintain the internal temperature of the condenser. The condensed atmospheric airflow 2 enters the virtual cutter through the connection fixed by the annular screw buckle. A rubber adsorption sheet 7 is added to the connection between the two to ensure that the adsorption surface is completely fitted and increase its air tightness. The main part of the virtual cutter is a circular groove-shaped upper plate and a lower plate 24. The parts where the two plates fit are the upper annular plate 10 and the lower annular plate 4. There are six screw holes 18 on the annular plate to fix the two plates. The lower plate is provided with a lower conical channel 14, and a circular hole 22 is provided on the top of the lower plate conical channel. The aperture of the circular hole is 3-5mm, and its optimal aperture is 4mm. The upper plate is provided with an upper conical channel 11, and a circular hole 17 is provided on the top of the upper plate conical channel. The aperture of the circular hole is 5-7mm, and its optimal aperture is 6mm. There is a gap between the two holes, which is convenient for the separation of the enriched airflow and the clean airflow, and the aperture of the circular hole in the upper plate is slightly larger than the aperture of the lower plate, so that the enriched particles can pass through. The condensed atmospheric airflow 2 flows through the lower conical channel 14, and the atmospheric enriched particles 12 are separated from the clean airflow 5 at the airflow separation point 13. The atmospheric condensed particles flow through the upper conical channel 11 due to the action of gravity and inertia, while the clean airflow 5 flows along the large flow airflow channel 27 due to the action of negative pressure, and the flow is controlled by the rotor flowmeter 20, and the negative pressure is provided by the vacuum pump 26. The upper conical channel is connected to the tee 23 through an annular screw buckle, and the enriched particles flow through the enriched particle collection pipe 21 at the right end of the tee to collect the enriched particles. At this time, the upper annular screw buckle of the tee and the top cover sheet 8 are closed. If the enrichment effect or enrichment ratio is tested, the top cover sheet 8 can be opened and the particle concentration counter can be connected to the top of the tee through a rubber tube.

[0044] The results of use show that this virtual cutter can concentrate and enrich aerosols to the designed multiples without changing any physical and chemical properties except concentration. The effect is stable enough to support related instruments and equipment to detect low-content particles and ions in the atmosphere and characterize their toxicity levels.
