Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of stage special effect equipment, in particular to an equipment that can generate bubbles containing smoke. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are many different types of bubble machines. One principle is that the bubble liquid forms a liquid film across a ring, and air is guided through an opening in the ring to form bubbles. For example, a bubble-forming ring provided with at least one circular or oval opening is inserted into an open container filled with bubble liquid. After the bubble-forming ring holds the bubble liquid and forms a liquid film, a fan blows air towards the bubble-forming ring, causing the liquid film to form bubbles and leave the bubble-forming ring.

[0003] Existing smoke machines and bubble machines are basically independent of each other. Mixing smoke into bubbles creates a stage effect where smoke and bubbles coexist, but it is impossible to inject smoke into bubbles to form a better stage effect. Additionally, the oil mist formed by heating and vaporizing smoke oil has a relatively high temperature after being ejected from the nozzle of the heating element, and filling it inside the bubbles easily causes the bubbles to burst, reducing the stability and durability of the bubbles.

[0028] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0029] A smoke bubble machine according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 5 Figures 1 to 5 , a smoke bubble machine according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a smoke generating device, a bubble generating device, an air flow forming device, and a box body. The smoke generating device, the bubble generating device, and the air flow forming device are all installed on the box body. The box body provides an installation space or an installation platform for the smoke generating device, the bubble generating device, and the air flow forming device, etc., and protects them from accidental injuries.

[0031] The smoke generating device is used to generate smoke. The smoke generating device may include a smoke oil supply source 1, a first delivery pump, a first liquid pipeline, a nozzle 2, and a heater 3. The smoke oil supply source 1 stores smoke oil or is capable of preparing smoke oil. For example, the smoke oil supply source 1 may be an oil barrel storing smoke oil. Smoke oil is a specially formulated liquid, which can be formulated from pure water, ethanol, glycerol, etc. It can be rapidly atomized at high temperature to form smoke.

[0032] The first delivery pump is used to urge the smoke oil in the smoke oil supply source 1 to flow through the first liquid pipeline. The heater 3 is used to heat the smoke oil flowing through the first liquid pipeline and vaporize it to form smoke. The vaporized smoke can be ejected from the nozzle 2 connected to the first liquid pipeline. The heater 3 may be an electric heater 3, that is, a device that converts electrical energy into heat energy. The first liquid pipeline may include a heating pipeline installed in the heater 3. When the heater 3 works, the heat generated by it is transferred to the smoke oil flowing through the heating pipeline through the heating pipeline. The end of the heating pipeline is connected to the nozzle 2. The smoke oil is heated and vaporized by the heating pipeline to form smoke and is ejected from the nozzle 2.

[0033] The bubble generating device is used to generate bubbles. It may include a bubble liquid supply system, a film forming mechanism, and a blower 4. The bubble liquid supply system may include a bubble liquid supply source 5, a second delivery pump, and a second liquid pipeline. The second delivery pump is installed on the second liquid pipeline and is used to urge the bubble liquid from the bubble liquid supply source 5 to be transported to the film forming mechanism through the second liquid pipeline. The bubble liquid supply source 5 stores bubble liquid or is capable of preparing bubble liquid. For example, the bubble liquid supply source 5 may be a barrel storing bubble liquid. The bubble liquid may be formulated from water, glycerol, surfactant, etc. The surfactant can reduce the surface tension of water, making it easier for water molecules to form a film and enclose air, thereby making bubbles.

[0034] Such as Figure 6As shown, the film forming mechanism includes a smoke channel 6 and a brush rod 7. The bubble liquid supply system can supply bubble liquid to the air outlet of the smoke channel 6. Specifically, a second delivery pump prompts the bubble liquid from the bubble liquid supply source 5 to be delivered through a second liquid pipeline to the air outlet of the smoke channel 6. During the process of the brush rod 7 moving closely along the edge of the air outlet of the smoke channel 6, it can prompt the bubble liquid at the air outlet to form a liquid film at the edge of the air outlet. The fan 4 is used to prompt the mixed smoke obtained by mixing the smoke generated by the smoke generating device with air to flow along the smoke channel 6, and prompt the liquid film to form bubbles that wrap the mixed smoke. Specifically, the air outlet of the fan 4 is docked with the air inlet of the smoke channel 6. When the fan 4 works, it prompts the mixed smoke to blow towards the liquid film through the smoke channel 6, so that the liquid film forms bubbles that wrap the mixed smoke.

[0035] When the smoke generated by the smoke generating device sprays out from the nozzle, it is in a high-temperature state. Before cooling, it is wrapped by bubbles, which easily causes the bubbles to burst, reducing the stability and durability of the bubbles. Using air to cool the smoke can effectively reduce the temperature of the smoke.

[0036] Now refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in an embodiment, the smoke bubble machine further includes a smoke cooling chamber 8. The smoke cooling chamber 8 forms an air inlet 9 and a smoke inlet. The nozzle 2 of the smoke generating device extends into the smoke cooling chamber 8 through the smoke inlet, and the smoke generated by the smoke generating device mixes with air in the smoke cooling chamber 8. When the smoke sprays out from the nozzle 2, it can form an air flow. The air inlet 9 is preferably arranged near the air flow, for example, directly above the air flow, so as to use the air flow to prompt the external air to enter the smoke cooling chamber 8 and cool the smoke in a timely manner.

[0037] Preferably, the fan 4 is arranged in the smoke cooling chamber 8.

[0038] Now return to Figure 6 , in this embodiment, the film forming mechanism further includes a driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism drives the brush rod 7 to perform actions. The driving mechanism may include a motor 10 and a swing frame 11. The brush rod 7 is fixed on the swing frame 11. The motor 10 is used to drive the swing frame 11 to swing back and forth. During the swinging process of the swing frame 11, the brush rod 7 moves closely along the edge of the air outlet of the smoke channel 6, prompting the bubble liquid at the air outlet to form a liquid film at the edge of the air outlet.

[0039] Now return to Figure 2, the box body includes a front box board 12, the front box board 12 is formed with a first opening 13 for bubbles to pass through, and a second opening for the air flow generated by the air flow forming device to pass through. The air flow forming device is used to generate an air flow that drives the bubbles moving after passing through the first opening 13. The air flow forming device may include a blower 14 with a relatively large power, and a regulating plate 15 for changing the direction of the air flow formed by the blower 14. The regulating plate 15 can close the second opening and is rotatably connected to the front box board 12. By changing the included angle between the regulating plate 15 and the front box board 12, the direction of the air flow formed by the blower 14 can be changed.

[0040] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the smoke bubble machine further includes a bubble liquid recovery device. The bubble liquid recovery device includes a first liquid collecting tank 16 arranged below the air outlet, and a second liquid collecting tank 17 fixed below the first opening 13. The first liquid collecting tank 16 is used to collect the bubble liquid dripping from the air outlet. The second liquid collecting tank 17 is used to collect the bubble liquid generated by the bubbles bursting at the first opening 13.

[0041] In this embodiment, the number of the film forming mechanisms is N, which is divided into two groups arranged vertically and horizontally, and N is greater than or equal to 4. The number of the first openings 13 is N, and each first opening 13 faces the air outlet of the corresponding smoke channel 6. The N first openings 13 are divided into two groups arranged vertically and horizontally. The numbers of the first liquid collecting tank 16 and the second liquid collecting tank 17 are both 2. The two first liquid collecting tanks 16 are respectively located below the air outlets of the corresponding smoke channels 6, and the two second liquid collecting tanks 17 are respectively located below the corresponding first openings 13.

[0042] For example, N may be 8. The 8 film forming mechanisms are divided into two groups, and each group includes 4 film forming mechanisms arranged horizontally at equal distances. The two groups of film forming mechanisms are symmetrically arranged vertically and horizontally. The 8 first openings 13 respectively face the air outlets of the corresponding smoke channels 6, that is, the 8 first openings 13 are also divided into two groups in the same way, and each group includes 4 first openings 13 arranged horizontally at equal distances. The two groups of first openings 13 are symmetrically arranged vertically and horizontally.

[0043] See Figure 6 , the film forming mechanisms belonging to the same group can be driven by the same motor 10. For example, the 4 swing frames 11 of the 4 film forming mechanisms in the same group can be fixedly connected by a horizontally arranged connecting rod 18. The motor 10 directly drives one of the swing frames 11 to swing. Since the other three swing frames 11 are fixedly connected to this swing frame 11 through the connecting rod 18, the other three swing frames 11 will swing synchronously. The blower 4 and the second delivery pump for promoting the mixed smoke to flow along the smoke channel 6 can correspond to each film forming mechanism one by one, that is, the numbers of the blower 4 and the second delivery pump are both N.

[0044] The first liquid collecting tank 16 may be provided with a liquid discharge port at the bottom of the tank, and the liquid discharge port is connected to the bubble liquid supply source 5 through a reflux pipeline. The amount of bubble liquid dripping from the air outlet is relatively large, and the amount of bubble liquid generated by the bursting of bubbles at the first opening 13 is relatively small. During the operation of the smoke bubble machine, returning the bubble liquid in the first liquid collecting tank 16 to the bubble liquid supply source 5 can save bubble liquid, and the second liquid collecting tank 17 collects the bubble liquid generated by the bursting of bubbles at the first opening 13 to reduce the bubble liquid falling on the stage. Of course, the first liquid collecting tank 16 also reduces the bubble liquid falling on the stage.

[0045] Now return Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the smoke bubble machine may further include a front cover plate 19, and the front cover plate 19 is used to cover the front box plate 12 from the outside of the box body to prevent foreign objects from entering the equipment interior through the first opening 13 when the smoke bubble machine is in a non-operating state.

[0046] The box body may further include a rear box plate 20, a left box plate 21, a right box plate, a top box plate 22, a bottom box plate 23, etc. The smoke bubble machine may further include a control panel installed on the rear box plate 20, and a rear cover plate; the rear cover plate is used to cover the rear box plate 20 from the outside of the box body to prevent the control panel from being accidentally damaged, and the control panel is used to receive control information and control the operation of the smoke generating device, the bubble generating device and the air flow forming device.

[0047] The smoke bubble machine in this embodiment can form bubbles wrapped with smoke. The settings of the first liquid collecting tank 16 and the second liquid collecting tank 17 greatly reduce the bubble liquid falling on the stage. The number of film forming mechanisms can be multiple, and a large number of bubbles wrapped with smoke can be generated simultaneously. After adding the smoke cooling chamber 8, the smoke is cooled in time by air. After the cooled smoke fills the bubbles, the influence on the stability and durability of the bubbles is low, and the bubbles are not easily broken.
