Detailed Implementation
[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0028] The following disclosure provides many different implementation methods or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, an adjustable-angle fogging machine includes a housing 1, which houses a heating element 2, an oil supply unit 3, and an air outlet unit 4. A fog outlet groove 11 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. The air outlet unit 4 includes an air duct 41 and a fan 42. The outlet of the air duct 41 is located at the bottom of the fog outlet groove 11. The fan 42 is connected to the air duct 41 to allow air to be blown out from the outlet of the air duct 41. The oil supply unit 3 supplies fogging oil to the heating element 2, and the output end of the heating element 2 is connected to the fog outlet groove 11.
[0030] A lever 5 is provided in the mist outlet groove 11. The lever 5 is located above the output end of the heating element 2 and the output port of the air duct 41. A motor 51 and a transmission mechanism 52 are provided in the housing 1. The transmission mechanism 52 drives the motor 51 and the lever 5 to rotate the lever 5. The rotation of the lever 5 changes the direction of the air output from the air duct 41.
[0031] The oil supply unit 3 inputs the mist oil into the heating component 2. The heating component 2 heats the mist oil to generate smoke and discharges it into the mist outlet groove 11. The air duct 41 generates airflow, which blows the smoke and spreads it in a certain direction. When it is necessary to adjust the smoke flow direction, the motor 51 can be controlled to run. The motor 51, based on the transmission mechanism 52, makes the lever 5 rotate and adjusts the attitude of the lever 5. The air output from the air duct 41 hits the lever 5 and changes the flow direction, thereby changing the flow direction of the smoke.
[0032] In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the lever 5 is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the air duct 41. Thus, the lever 5 can swing up and down under the drive of the motor 51, changing the angle between the lever 5 and the air outlet direction of the air duct 41, thereby changing the airflow direction. The smoke output from the output end of the heating component 2 is located below the lever 5 and can diffuse out under the drive of the wind.
[0033] In this embodiment, the motor 51 is a stepper motor, which can precisely control the rotation amplitude of the paddle 5.
[0034] In this embodiment, the oil supply unit 3 has two modules. One module uses oil-based mist oil, which is suitable for large-scale performances, banquets and other occasions. It can generate a large amount of dense smoke effect in a short time to increase the mysterious atmosphere. The other module uses water-based mist oil, which is suitable for small parties, weddings and other occasions. Its smoke is more delicate and light. When used in conjunction with stage lighting, it creates a dreamy and romantic atmosphere. This application can switch modules according to actual needs to use different mist oils.
[0035] In this embodiment, the oil supply unit 3 includes a first oil supply module 31, which includes an air pump 311, a first oil tank 312, and a first oil pump 313. The air pump 311 is connected to the heating element 2 through a first pipeline 314, the first oil tank 312 is connected to the first pipeline 314 through a second pipeline 315, and the first oil pump 313 is mounted on the second pipeline 315. The output end of the air pump 311 is provided with a first pneumatic check valve 316.
[0036] The first oil tank 312 is used to store water-based mist oil. The first oil pump 313 is started to deliver the mist oil to the first pipeline 314. Due to the presence of the first pneumatic one-way valve 316, the mist oil will not flow to the air pump 311, but will only flow to the heating element 2. The heating element 2 heats the mist oil to form smoke. The air pump 311 is started to deliver gas. The gas is delivered unidirectionally to the heating element 2, thereby causing the smoke to be sprayed out from the heating element 2.
[0037] A filter can be installed at the input end of the air pump 311 so that the air is filtered before entering the air pump 311.
[0038] In this embodiment, the oil supply unit 3 further includes a second oil supply module 32, which includes a gas cylinder 321, a second oil drum 322, a pressure oil cylinder 323, and a second oil pump 324. The gas cylinder 321 is connected to the pressure oil cylinder 323 via a third pipeline 325, the second oil drum 322 is connected to the pressure oil cylinder 323 via a fourth pipeline 326, the pressure oil cylinder 323 is connected to the heating element 2 via a fifth pipeline 327, the second oil pump 324 is mounted on the fourth pipeline 326, and the gas cylinder 321 is connected to the fifth pipeline 327 via a sixth pipeline 328. A regulating valve 32 is provided at the output end of the gas cylinder 321. 11. A first solenoid valve 3251, a proportional valve 3252, and an oil-water separator 3253 are sequentially arranged along the gas conveying direction on the third pipeline 325; a second solenoid valve 3281 and a second pneumatic check valve 3282 are sequentially arranged along the gas conveying direction on the sixth pipeline 328; a check valve 3271 and a two-fluid mechanism 3272 are sequentially arranged on the fifth pipeline 327; the pressure oil bottle 323 is connected to the two-fluid mechanism 3272 through the seventh pipeline 329; a third pneumatic check valve 3291 is arranged on the seventh pipeline 329; and the two-fluid mechanism 3272 atomizes the oil mist before inputting it into the heating element 2.
[0039] The second oil tank 322 is used to store oily mist oil. The second oil pump 324 is started to transport the mist oil to the pressure oil bottle 323 through the fourth pipeline 326. The first solenoid valve 3251 is opened, allowing the gas cylinder 321 to transport gas to the pressure oil bottle 323 through the third pipeline 325, causing the mist oil in the pressure oil bottle 323 to enter the fifth pipeline 327 and flow through the two-fluid mechanism 3272. The gas in the pressure oil bottle 323 can enter the two-fluid mechanism 3272 through the seventh pipeline 329, causing the mist oil to atomize. The atomized mist oil enters the heating element 2 along the fifth pipeline 327. The heating element 2 heats the mist oil to form smoke. The second solenoid valve 3281 is started, allowing the gas cylinder 321 to enter the fifth pipeline 327 through the sixth pipeline 328, causing the smoke to be sprayed out from the heating element 2.
[0040] During this process, the check valve 3271 prevents the mist oil from returning to the pressure oil bottle 323. The second pneumatic check valve 3282 prevents the gas in the sixth pipeline 328 from returning to the gas bottle 321. The third pneumatic check valve 3291 prevents the gas from returning to the pressure oil bottle 323 from the seventh pipeline 329.
[0041] The third pipeline 325 is equipped with a proportional valve 3252, which can regulate the gas flow rate and pressure input from the gas cylinder 321 into the third pipeline 325.
[0042] In this embodiment, the two-fluid mechanism 3272 is generally a two-fluid nozzle, which can atomize liquid and gas after they are input into the nozzle.
[0043] In this embodiment, a pressure relief valve 3254 is connected to the oil-water separator 3253. If the pressure is too high, it can be relieved through the pressure relief valve 3254.
[0044] In this embodiment, the heating component 2 includes a heating aluminum box, which has two input pipes. The first pipe 314 and the fifth pipe 327 are respectively connected to the two input pipes and are equipped with heating rods. The part of the input pipe inside the heating aluminum box cooperates with the heating rods so that the heating rods can heat the mist oil. The heating aluminum box has an outlet that is connected to the mist outlet groove 11.
[0045] Meanwhile, a temperature sensor is installed to monitor the temperature of the heating rod for easy control.
[0046] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is composed of multiple plates, and the air duct 41 is also formed by the plates. The housing 1 is provided with multiple heat dissipation holes, which facilitates the fan 42 to draw air while dissipating heat.
[0047] In this embodiment, a controller is also included. The motor 51, oil pump, air pump 311, solenoid valve, pressure relief valve 3254, proportional valve 3252, heating rod and temperature sensor are all connected to the controller. The heating component 2, fan 42 and oil supply unit 3 are respectively connected to the controller, so that the controller can monitor and control each component.
[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
