Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum powder atomizer technology, specifically to an atomizer nozzle assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, dual-flow atomization is the main method for producing metal powder. Its working principle is as follows: an atomizer breaks molten metal into fine powder, which is then rapidly cooled and solidified to form metal powder. The atomizing nozzle is the core component of the atomizer. Specifically, the central part of the nozzle is the aluminum molten material channel, while the outer side of the nozzle has an inert gas inlet and a gas flow channel. High-pressure inert gas flows out at high speed from the gas flow channel, impacting the molten aluminum flowing out of the aluminum channel, thus atomizing the aluminum into aluminum powder. The effectiveness of the atomizing nozzle directly determines the product quality. To improve product quality, improvements to the atomizing nozzle have been ongoing in recent years.

[0003] For example, CN 208195655 U discloses an atomizing nozzle for aluminum powder production, which includes an inner nozzle body, a middle nozzle body, and an outer nozzle body. The middle nozzle body is fitted outside the inner nozzle body, and the outer nozzle body is fitted outside the middle nozzle body. The inner nozzle body is a hollow tubular structure with its inner cavity serving as an aluminum liquid flow channel. The middle nozzle body is connected to the inner nozzle body, forming a primary impact gas chamber and a primary impact flow channel between the inner and middle nozzle bodies. A secondary impact gas chamber and a secondary impact flow channel are formed between the outer nozzle body and the middle nozzle body. The outlet of the aluminum liquid flow channel, the outlet of the primary impact flow channel, and the outlet of the secondary impact flow channel are arranged sequentially along the aluminum liquid flow direction. This atomizing nozzle adds a gas flow channel to the traditional primary atomizing nozzle, subjecting the primary atomized aluminum liquid to a secondary high-pressure impact, thereby making the atomized aluminum powder particles finer and improving the yield of ultrafine aluminum powder. However, the following problem still exists: when the nozzle tip is blocked due to impurities in the aluminum liquid, the entire nozzle needs to be replaced, resulting in resource waste. Utility Model Content

The key technical feature is that the lower end of the nozzle body is provided with a replaceable nozzle concentric with it. The replaceable nozzle consists of a circular tube section inserted into the lower end of the nozzle body, a flange section connected to the lower end of the circular tube section, and a... The flange section is connected to the upper bend section.

[0007] In the aforementioned atomizer nozzle assembly, a mounting flange is provided at the inlet of the aluminum liquid flow body, and an annular thickening platform is provided along the outer circumferential surface of the aluminum liquid flow body at the connection with the mounting flange. The outer circumferential surface of the annular thickening platform is provided with a first threaded connection structure that connects to the primary air chamber wrapping body, and the upper end face of the primary air chamber wrapping body is provided with a first sealing structure that connects to the mounting flange.

[0008] The atomizer nozzle assembly described above has a second threaded connection structure at the middle of the outer peripheral surface of the primary air chamber wrapping body, which is connected to the secondary air chamber wrapping body.

The circular tube section is equipped with multiple primary airflow inlets corresponding to the primary impact flow channel and multiple secondary airflow inlets corresponding to the secondary impact flow channel to ensure the atomization requirements of aluminum powder. In case of blockage, other replaceable nozzles can be used instead of replacing the nozzle body, thus saving on operating costs.

[0013] 2. The lower end of the replaceable nozzle circular pipe section is connected to the flange section, and the outer edge of the flange section is connected to the upper bending section. During assembly, the annular positioning platform at the lower end of the secondary gas chamber wrapping body is bound to the inner side of the upper bending section, and the flange section of the replaceable nozzle is connected and fixed to the bottom surface of the annular positioning platform.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the atomizer nozzle assembly includes a nozzle body, which comprises an aluminum liquid flow body 4, a primary air chamber surround 7 located outside the aluminum liquid flow body 4, and a secondary air chamber surround 13 located outside the primary air chamber surround 7. A primary impact flow channel 16 is formed between the lower edge of the inner circumferential surface of the primary air chamber surround 7 and the lower edge of the outer circumferential surface of the aluminum liquid flow body 4. A secondary impact flow channel 18 is formed between the lower edge of the inner circumferential surface of the secondary air chamber surround 13 and the lower edge of the outer circumferential surface of the primary air chamber surround 7. A primary airflow inlet pipe 9 is provided on the upper part of the primary air chamber surround 7, and a secondary airflow inlet pipe 11 is provided on the upper part of the secondary air chamber surround 13.

[0019] The nozzle body has a replaceable nozzle concentrically located at its lower end. The replaceable nozzle consists of a circular tube section 14 inserted into the lower end of the nozzle body, a flange section 21 connected to the lower end of the circular tube section 14, and an upper bend section 22 connected to the outer edge of the flange section 21. The lower edge of the inner circumferential surface of the aluminum liquid flow body 4 has a limiting stop 15 corresponding to the circular tube section 14. The outer circumferential wall of the circular tube section 14 has multiple primary airflow inlets 17 corresponding to the primary impact channel 16, evenly arranged around the center line of the circular tube section 14. The outer circumferential wall of the circular tube section 14 also has multiple secondary airflow inlets 19 corresponding to the secondary impact channel 18, evenly arranged around the center line of the circular tube section 14. The lower end of the secondary air chamber enclosure 13 has an annular positioning platform 20 located inside the upper bend section 22 of the replaceable nozzle. The flange section 21 of the replaceable nozzle is connected and fixed to the bottom surface of the annular positioning platform 20.

[0020] In this embodiment, an installation flange 1 is provided at the inlet of the aluminum liquid flow body 4. An annular thickening platform 5 is provided along the outer periphery of the aluminum liquid flow body 4 at the connection with the installation flange 1.

The molten aluminum is sprayed out through the circular tube section 14 with replaceable nozzle. During this process, the high-pressure inert gas impacts the flowing molten aluminum through each primary gas inlet 17, forming small molten aluminum droplets. The molten aluminum droplets continue to flow, and the high-pressure inert gas impacts the flowing molten aluminum droplets a second time through each secondary gas inlet 19, making the molten aluminum droplets even smaller. Finally, they are sprayed out through the end of the circular tube section 14 with replaceable nozzle, cooled down and solidified into aluminum powder.
