Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a waterproof atomizer and a device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, using high-pressure nozzles to atomize water is one of the primary methods for generating water mist, but this consumes significant energy during operation. Prior art uses a drive device to rotate a rotating disk, ejecting water that collides with a grid to reduce energy consumption. However, since the drive device is exposed to the water mist and in direct contact with it, prolonged exposure to humid conditions can lead to corrosion and shortened service life. Therefore, to address these issues and meet technical requirements, improvements to existing atomization devices are necessary to mitigate corrosion. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a waterproof atomizer and device, which disposes the atomizing disk drive device outside the atomizing cavity, isolates the water mist from the atomizing disk drive device, and effectively prevents water from corroding the atomizing disk drive device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0005] A waterproof atomizer includes an atomizing disk, an atomizing disk driving device, and an atomizing cavity; the atomizing disk is connected to the atomizing disk driving device; the atomizing disk driving device is arranged on the side wall of the atomizing cavity; the atomizing disk driving device is located outside the atomizing cavity; and the atomizing cavity is provided with a mist outlet.

[0006] In the present invention, the atomizing disk rotates about its axis, and the atomizing disk drive device provides the power for the atomizing disk to rotate about its axis. Water to be atomized is delivered to the atomizing disk, and the atomizing disk drive device drives the atomizing disk to rotate, ejecting the water and colliding it with the atomizing cavity, forming a water mist that flows out of the mist outlet. The atomizing disk drive device is located outside the atomizing cavity, meaning that the atomizing disk drive device and the water mist are not located in the same cavity, thus preventing the atomizing disk drive device from being exposed to a humid environment for a long time and causing corrosion.

[0007] In the present invention, the shape of the atomizing chamber is not specifically limited, as long as the technical effect of the present invention can be achieved. In actual applications, a fan can be set above or below the atomizing disk, and those skilled in the art can design it according to actual needs.

[0008] Preferably, the atomizing cavity is further provided with an air inlet for introducing airflow, which enters the atomizing cavity from the air inlet and flows out from the mist outlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the angle between the axis of the atomizing disk and the axis of the atomizing chamber is 5 to 90°. Preferably, the angle is 20 to 90°; more preferably, the angle is 40 to 90°; further preferably, the angle is 60 to 90°; further more preferably, the angle is 80 to 90°. The angle between the axis of the atomizing disk and the axis of the atomizing chamber refers to the non-obtuse angle formed between the axis of the atomizing disk and the axis of the atomizing chamber, including any numerical value within the above range. There is an angle between the axis of the atomizing disk and the axis of the atomizing chamber, which facilitates the atomizing disk drive device to be arranged outside the atomizing chamber. Preferably, the angle between the axis of the atomizing disk and the axis of the atomizing chamber is 90°, that is, the axis of the atomizing disk is perpendicular to the axis of the atomizing chamber, so that the airflow flowing in from the air inlet faces the side of the atomizing disk, reducing the influence of the atomizing disk plane on the airflow, the overall structure is more compact, the airflow resistance is very small, and the effect of small volume and large atomization amount is achieved.

[0010] Preferably, a protective shell is provided outside the atomizing disk driving device to protect the atomizing disk driving device and isolate it from the water mist. The atomizing disk is located in the atomizing cavity, and the atomizing disk driving device is located outside the atomizing cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective shell is partially or entirely located in the atomizing cavity; the protective shell and the atomizing cavity are an integral structure or a split structure. The side wall of the atomizing cavity can be a plane, and the protective shell is located on the side wall of the atomizing cavity or passes through the side wall of the atomizing cavity, and is arranged on the atomizing cavity by a conventional snap-on method, that is, the protective shell and the atomizing cavity are a split structure; the side wall of the atomizing cavity can also be recessed into the interior of the atomizing cavity by a certain space, that is, the protective shell and the atomizing cavity are an integral structure. Preferably, the protective shell is partially located in the atomizing cavity, and the protective shell and the atomizing cavity are an integral structure. One vertical surface of the waterproof atomizer can be designed as a plane structure, so that the waterproof atomizer can be set close to the inner wall that requires an atomizing and dewatering device.

[0012] Furthermore, the atomizing disc driving device includes a power member, or a power member and a transmission member; the power member, or the power member and the transmission member are partially or completely located in a protective shell. In actual application, the power member can be a motor, or it can be other conventional devices that can drive the atomizing disc to rotate, preferably a brushless motor; the atomizing disc can be directly mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor, or it can be mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor through a conventional transmission member, and the rotating shaft or transmission member of the motor penetrates the atomizing cavity, which can be selected as needed without affecting the realization of the technical effect of the utility model. Preferably, the atomizing disc is mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor through a conventional transmission member, such as a nut is provided on the atomizing disc, a stud is provided on the rotating shaft of the motor, and the nut cooperates with the stud, so that the atomizing disc is connected to the motor, which can drive the atomizing disc to rotate and improve the stability of the atomizing disc installation.

[0013] Preferably, an atomizer grid is positioned outside the atomizer disk and within the atomizer cavity. The atomizer grid comprises a retaining ring and atomizer columns spaced apart on the retaining ring. Water ejected from the atomizer disk collides with the atomizer grid, forming a mist. The atomizer grid is secured using conventional techniques and can be mounted on rotating equipment using conventional connectors, as long as the impactor can be secured to the outside of the atomizer disk.

[0014] Preferably, a water supply pipe is provided above the atomizing disk, the water supply pipe passing through the wall of the atomizing cavity, and is used to supply water to be atomized to the atomizing disk.

[0015] The utility model also discloses a device including the waterproof atomizer. The device is a device for atomization, comprising a conventional water storage tank and a water delivery device, wherein the water delivery device can deliver water in the water storage tank to the waterproof atomizer for atomization.

[0016] As an example, the device may be a condensing gas water heater, and the waterproof atomizer may be connected to the condensing gas water heater via the air inlet and the mist outlet of the atomizing cavity.

[0017] The waterproof atomizer can be integrated into a condensing gas water heater as a component. For example, the waterproof atomizer's air inlet is connected to the condenser, a conventional component of the condensing gas water heater, and the mist outlet is connected to the exhaust pipe, a conventional component of the condensing gas water heater. A water delivery device is connected to the water pipe, delivering condensed water to the atomizing disk for atomization. The resulting water mist is then carried out of the atomizing chamber by the combustion flue gases and discharged outdoors through the exhaust pipe.

[0018] The waterproof atomizer can also be used as a separate module, installed outside the condensing gas water heater, and work in conjunction with the condensing gas water heater. For example, the waterproof atomizer is connected in series to any position of the exhaust pipe of the conventional component of the condensing gas water heater through the air inlet and the mist outlet of the atomizing chamber. The water supply device is connected to the water supply pipe to deliver the condensed water to the atomizing disk for atomization. The formed water mist is then carried out of the atomizing chamber by the smoke generated by the combustion and discharged to the outside. As another example, the atomizing chamber of the waterproof atomizer is provided with or without an air inlet, and the mist outlet is open for mist discharge or is connected to a single pipe (distinguished from the exhaust pipe) for mist discharge. The water supply device is connected to the water supply pipe to deliver the condensed water to the atomizing disk for atomization. The formed water mist is then carried out of the atomizing chamber by the smoke generated by the combustion or discharged to the outside by itself.

[0019] Due to the application of the above-mentioned technical scheme, the beneficial effect of the present invention over the prior art is that: in the technical scheme of vertical atomization using water-throwing collision designed by the applicant before, the driving equipment is exposed to the water mist, that is, it is in contact with the water mist and is in a humid environment for a long time, which will cause the driving equipment to be corroded, the service life is reduced, and the replacement frequency becomes higher; the present invention arranges the atomizing disk driving equipment outside the atomizing cavity, and at the same time arranges a protective shell on the outside thereof, so that the atomizing disk driving equipment is isolated from the water mist, effectively avoiding water corrosion, and extending the service life of the atomizing disk driving equipment and reducing expenses compared with the prior art.
