Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a liquid addition system mainly used in the fields of grain, food, and chemical industry. Specifically, this utility model discloses a liquid metering spray system. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of my country's food industry, the requirements for safety, food hygiene, working environment and automation of production line processing modes are getting higher and higher. In order to avoid uneven addition of liquid affecting the mixing effect of powder, it is usually necessary to atomize the liquid to make the spraying uniform.
[0003] Pressure atomization methods include: ① Increasing liquid pressure, i.e., using high-pressure atomizing nozzles, where high pressure forces the liquid through tiny orifices, causing it to break into droplets due to surface tension and air resistance when ejected at high speed. The pressure is typically greater than 10 bar. ② Using compressed gas to atomize the liquid, i.e., using low-pressure atomizing nozzles, where the kinetic energy of the high-speed airflow shears the liquid, achieving atomization. The pressure is typically less than 5 bar.
[0004] High-pressure atomizing nozzles typically use mechanical pumps, i.e., hydraulic pumps, as a power source. Hydraulic pumps are complex, expensive, and have high power consumption, increasing operating costs. Various types of hydraulic pumps are noisy, and some require noise reduction measures. Due to the high pressure of the liquid, sealing is poor, leakage is significant, and resistance to contamination is low. Pressure variations in long-distance delivery systems are not suitable for constant operation; the actual pressure may differ significantly from the expected design pressure, affecting the nozzle's spray effect and increasing testing and debugging costs. When the system malfunctions, the cause is difficult to locate, and high-pressure atomization systems require numerous supporting devices, increasing maintenance costs and delaying production schedules.
[0005] Low-pressure atomizing nozzle: Compressed air is rapidly ejected from the nozzle air path, forming a low-pressure zone. Due to the pressure difference, liquid flows out from the nozzle liquid path. Compressed air and liquid mix before being ejected, which affects the liquid's performance. When sprayed onto food, it cannot achieve the expected effect. Furthermore, if the compressed air is contaminated, it will also affect the liquid quality. Mixing oily media with air will also affect the system's safety. Summary of the Invention

[0017] A liquid metering spray system, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes an atmospheric pressure liquid tank 1, a gas storage tank 2, a pressure tank 3, a weighing scale 4, a flow regulating component 5, an atomizing nozzle 6, an exhaust pipe 7, a liquid inlet pipe 8, a liquid outlet main pipe 9, an air inlet valve 10, a liquid outlet valve 11, an exhaust valve 12, a liquid outlet branch pipe 13, a pressure regulating filter 14, and an air inlet pipe 15. The atmospheric pressure liquid tank 1 has a liquid inlet interface and a liquid outlet interface, the gas storage tank 2 has an air inlet interface and an air outlet interface, and the pressure tank 3 has an air inlet interface, an exhaust interface, a liquid inlet interface, and a liquid outlet interface.
[0018] The pressure tank 3 is installed on the weighing scale 4. The liquid outlet of the atmospheric pressure liquid tank 1 is connected to the liquid inlet of the pressure tank 3 through the liquid inlet pipe 8. The flow regulating component 5 is provided on the liquid inlet pipe 8. The exhaust pipe 7 is connected to the exhaust port of the pressure tank 3. The exhaust valve 12 is provided on the exhaust pipe 7. The liquid outlet main pipe 9 is connected to the liquid outlet port of the pressure tank 3. The liquid outlet main pipe 9 is provided with the liquid outlet valve 11. Several liquid outlet branch pipes 13 are connected to the liquid outlet end of the liquid outlet main pipe 9. The atomizing nozzle 6 is connected to the liquid outlet end of each liquid outlet branch pipe 13.
[0019] The air outlet of the air inlet valve 10 is connected to the air inlet of the pressure tank 3, the air outlet of the pressure regulating filter 14 is connected to the air inlet of the air inlet valve 10, and the air outlet of the air storage tank 2 is connected to the air inlet of the pressure regulating filter 14 through the air inlet pipe 15.
[0020] The atmospheric pressure liquid tank 1 includes an atmospheric pressure liquid tank cover and an atmospheric pressure liquid tank body. The liquid inlet of the atmospheric pressure liquid tank 1 is located on the top side of the atmospheric pressure liquid tank body, and the liquid outlet of the atmospheric pressure liquid tank 1 is located on the bottom side of the atmospheric pressure liquid tank body.
[0021] The pressure tank 3 includes a pressure tank cover and a pressure tank body. The air inlet, exhaust outlet and liquid inlet of the pressure tank 3 are all located on the pressure tank cover, and the liquid outlet of the pressure tank 3 is located on the bottom side of the pressure tank body.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0023] Due to the height difference, the liquid inside the storage tank 1 flows into the pressure tank 3 through the inlet pipe 8 and the flow regulating component 5 under the influence of gravity. At this time, the air inlet valve 10 and the outlet valve 11 are closed, and the exhaust valve 12 is open. When the oil volume in the pressure tank 3 approaches the set injection volume, the system adjusts the flow rate through the flow regulating component 5 to achieve fine control of the oil inlet volume, thereby ensuring that the weighing scale 4 measures the required injection volume. When the weighing scale 4 reaches the set value, the air inlet valve 10 opens, and the flow regulating component 5 and the exhaust valve 12 close. When the outlet valve 11 is opened, compressed air is supplied from the outlet port of the air storage tank 2 and enters the pressure tank 3 through the inlet pipe 15, the pressure regulating filter 14 and the inlet valve 10. Under the action of compressed air, oil flows from the outlet main pipe 9 to several outlet branch pipes 13 and the atomizing nozzle 6 installed at the outlet end of each outlet branch pipe 13. After the oil is atomized and sprayed within a specified time, the inlet valve 10 is closed and the exhaust valve 12 is opened. The remaining compressed air in the pipeline and pressure tank 3 is discharged through the exhaust pipe 7 to reach the normal pressure state, and then the outlet valve 11 is closed.
[0024] This process uses pneumatic control and compressed air as the power source. Since the gas and liquid do not mix, it does not affect the liquid's usage state, does not contaminate the liquid, meets food hygiene requirements, improves the system's safety and stability, is easy to maintain and adjust, has low noise, and does not affect the working environment.
