Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tracer particle manufacturing, in particular to a tracer particle generating device for LDV measurement. Background Art
[0002] The Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) is essentially an instrument that uses the scattered light of tiny particles in the fluid that move at the same speed as the fluid to measure the fluid velocity. Currently, the use of LDV for wind speed measurement is a hot topic in research and application. Tracer particle velocimetry technology is used to characterize wind speed, that is, the movement of tracer particles in the wind tunnel measurement section is used to characterize the standard wind speed in the calibration process. It is required that the tracer particles must be able to suspend in the wind tunnel flow field and perfectly flow with a uniform velocity field. Then the measured particle movement speed can be considered as the airflow velocity at the location of the particles. At present, commonly used tracer particles include hollow glass balls, smoke, and bubbles, which have the following shortcomings:
[0003] First, hollow glass balls are suitable for water medium measurement. Their density is close to that of water and much greater than that of air, so they do not have tracking properties.
[0004] Second, the smoke is produced by a smoke generator using high-temperature atomization of smoke oil, and its particle size is small, which cannot be properly identified by LDV during the experiment.
[0005] Third, bubbles are generated by a bubble generator using a diluted surfactant. While their density is close to that of air, they provide good tracking performance. However, their particle concentration is insufficient, preventing them from generating sufficient signal strength at flow rates exceeding 20 m / s. Furthermore, after rupturing within the duct, the bubbles adhere to the inner wall, creating a certain degree of stickiness that makes them difficult to clean and potentially affecting the internal flow field. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model provides a tracer particle generating device for LDV measurement, which is used to solve the problem that existing tracer particles are insufficient in LDV measurement.
[0007] The utility model provides a tracer particle generating device for LDV measurement, comprising a box body, wherein an air jet mechanism is fixed in the box body, wherein the air jet mechanism comprises two transverse tubes, two groups of longitudinal tubes are connected between the two transverse tubes, a plurality of air holes are provided on the longitudinal tubes, and the two groups of longitudinal tubes and the two transverse tubes are enclosed to form an avoidance hole, at least one atomizer is detachably connected below the avoidance hole, an air supply mechanism is externally connected to one of the transverse tubes, and the air supply mechanism is used to provide compressed gas, and an air outlet channel is provided at the upper end of the box wall of the box body.
[0008] Preferably, the aperture of the transverse tube is larger than the aperture of the longitudinal tube.
[0009] Preferably, the number of longitudinal tubes in each group of longitudinal tubes is three, and the longitudinal tubes in each group of longitudinal tubes are distributed at intervals.
[0010] Preferably, an air supply pipe is provided on the box wall of the box body, and both ends of the air supply pipe are respectively connected to the transverse pipe and the air supply mechanism.
[0011] Preferably, a water supply pipe is provided on the box wall of the box body, and the water supply pipe and the air supply pipe are respectively provided on both sides of the box body.
[0012] Preferably, the air outlet channel and the water supply pipe are respectively arranged on two adjacent box walls of the box body.
[0013] Preferably, a wire hole is provided on the box wall of the box body, and the power cord of the atomizer passes through the wire hole.
[0014] Preferably, the wire hole and the air supply pipe are arranged on the same side, and the wire hole is located below the air supply pipe.
[0015] Preferably, the air outlet channel passes through two box walls of the box body.
[0016] Preferably, a plurality of legs are fixed to the lower end of the box.
[0017] Compared with the existing technology, when the present invention is working, the atomizer produces a large amount of aerosol. The compressed air coming out of the air hole drives the aerosol from the bottom of the box to the top, and then sends it out through the air outlet channel. The particle size of the aerosol particles produced by the present invention meets the LDV requirements for the tracer particle size and meets the measurement requirements. Secondly, the aerosol particles do not contain any other pollutants. Even if they break during the detection process, the particles will not adhere to the inner wall of the pipe for a long time and will not affect the internal flow field and flow rate measurement. Thirdly, the setting of the avoidance hole facilitates the installation of the atomizer, and the detachable connection design can flexibly configure the number of atomizers, thereby controlling the amount of aerosol generated to meet the needs of different flow rate measurements.
