Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plant protection atomization nozzle, especially to a liquid centrifugal progressive atomization nozzle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The unmanned aerial vehicle liquid medicine mechanical atomization scheme currently falls into the following two categories: 1: the high-pressure liquid medicine pumped out is introduced into a low-speed airflow through a liquid force nozzle with a narrow outlet, thereby realizing atomization. 2: the liquid is supplied to the center of a high-speed rotating member driven by electricity or gas, and the liquid is thrown out to the periphery of the rotating member or a hole, thereby generating an atomization effect by means of centrifugal force and pneumatic force.

[0003] The plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle on the market has the problems of lack of special high-efficiency atomization components, low effective deposition rate of target liquid, and uneven atomization control. The traditional liquid force atomization method is limited by conditions such as material, nozzle structure, and pressure pump under high-pressure working conditions, and cannot meet the demand for large-flow atomization uniformity to some extent. The traditional centrifugal atomization method mainly relies on increasing the rotating speed of the rotating disc to realize liquid medicine atomization, but the rotating speed of the rotating disc is limited by the material of the rotating disc, rotating balance, and the performance of the motor system, has an upper limit of safe rotating speed, and is difficult to meet the demand for large flow and uniform atomization in the future.

[0004] In addition, the spraying atomization of the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle is affected by multiple factors such as downward airflow, atomizer structure, and liquid medicine physicochemical properties, and the existing spraying atomization research mainly adopts single-factor control variable research, such as adjusting the droplet size by rotating speed of the rotating disc, without considering the influence of comprehensive factors such as liquid medicine physicochemical properties and nozzle pneumatic layout, resulting in unclear spraying droplet motion law and high drift risk.

[0006] In this scheme, the essence is still to spray liquid medicine on the centrifugal atomization disc, and to realize centrifugal atomization by controlling the rotating speed of the centrifugal atomization disc.
