Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of humidification device technology, and in particular to a dual-axis spiral humidification device with self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Environmental protection work in oil fields mainly includes wastewater treatment, drilling mud treatment, thermal desorption of oily sludge, and treatment of contaminated crude oil. Among these, oily sludge produces dry slag after thermal desorption. The dry slag particles are small and easily dispersed by the wind, causing safety hazards. In order to suppress dust diffusion and ensure safety and environmental protection, it is necessary to humidify it. A dual-axis spiral humidification device is used to achieve rapid diffusion and uniform humidification of water.

[0003] Currently, in actual use, the water tank and spiral working chamber of the dual-axis spiral humidifier are prone to dirt, scale and other impurities after long-term use, which causes the sprayed water to have an unpleasant smell. It does not have a self-cleaning function and requires manual cleaning every period of time, which is time-consuming and laborious and does not improve the cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a dual-axis spiral humidifier with a self-cleaning function to solve the problem of inconvenience in improving cleaning efficiency.

[0005] This application provides a dual-axis spiral humidification device with self-cleaning function, including a water tank and a spiral working chamber fixedly connected above the water tank. An ultrasonic generator is fixedly connected to the edge of the top surface of the water tank. An ultrasonic vibration plate is electrically connected to one side of the ultrasonic generator via a power line. The ultrasonic vibration plate is embedded in the bottom of the water tank. A connecting valve pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the water tank. A citric acid solution storage tank is internally threaded into the connecting valve pipe. A control device is fixedly connected to the edge of the top of the water tank.

[0006] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral working chamber, and a main rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. A belt is sleeved on the surface of the main rotating shaft, and an auxiliary rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the belt. A spiral shaft A and a spiral shaft B are fixedly connected to one end of the main rotating shaft and the auxiliary rotating shaft, respectively. Flexible silicone scrapers are installed on the surfaces of both the spiral shaft A and the spiral shaft B.

[0007] Preferably, an atomizing chamber is fixedly connected to the other end of the spiral working chamber, a fan is fixedly connected to one end inside the atomizing chamber, and a drain valve A is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the spiral working chamber.

[0008] Preferably, a delivery pump is fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the water tank, the output end of the delivery pump is connected through to the bottom of one end of the spiral working chamber, and the input end of the delivery pump is connected through to the inside of the water tank.

[0009] Preferably, a water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the water tank, and a drain valve B is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the citric acid solution storage tank is provided with an addition port, and a sealing plug is inserted into the addition port.

[0011] Preferably, casters are fixedly connected to all four sides of the bottom surface of the water tank, and brake pads are fixedly installed inside the casters. Beneficial effects

[0012] Considering that in actual use, the water tank and spiral working chamber of the dual-axis spiral humidifier are prone to dirt, scale and other impurities after long-term use, resulting in an unpleasant smell in the sprayed water, and it does not have a self-cleaning function, it requires manual cleaning every period of time, which is time-consuming and laborious, and does not facilitate improving cleaning efficiency.

[0013] When the dual-axis spiral humidifier is self-cleaning, the valve connecting the valve pipe is opened, allowing a certain amount of citric acid solution to be transferred from the citric acid solution storage tank to the water tank. The control equipment then activates the ultrasonic generator. The high-frequency oscillation signal emitted by the ultrasonic generator is converted into high-frequency mechanical oscillation by the ultrasonic vibrating plate and propagates into the cleaning medium in the water tank. Utilizing the cavitation, acceleration, and direct flow effects of ultrasound in the liquid, the liquid and contaminants are directly and indirectly acted upon, causing the contaminant layer to be dispersed, emulsified, and peeled off, thus achieving the cleaning purpose. The movement accelerates the dissolution of citric acid solution, increasing the cleanliness. Simultaneously, the drive motor is activated, and flexible silicone scrapers on the surfaces of the A and B spiral shafts scrape away scale adhering to the chamber walls as the shafts rotate. After cleaning, the A and B drain valves are opened to discharge the wastewater, thus achieving the self-cleaning function of the dual-shaft spiral humidifier. This avoids the accumulation of dirt, scale, and other impurities in the water tank and spiral working chamber, which can cause the sprayed water to have an unpleasant odor and require regular manual cleaning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This helps improve cleaning efficiency.

[0029] In this process, the valve of the connecting valve pipe 5 is opened, and a certain amount of citric acid solution is delivered from the citric acid solution storage tank 6 to the water tank 1. The control device 19 controls the start of the ultrasonic generator 3. The high-frequency oscillation signal emitted by the ultrasonic generator 3 is converted into high-frequency mechanical oscillation through the ultrasonic vibration plate 4 and propagated into the cleaning medium in the water tank 1. By utilizing the cavitation, acceleration and direct flow effects of ultrasound in the liquid, the liquid and dirt are directly and indirectly affected, causing the dirt layer to be dispersed, emulsified and peeled off to achieve the cleaning purpose. Ultrasonic vibration can accelerate the dissolution of citric acid solution and increase the cleanliness.

[0030] One end of the spiral working chamber 2 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 7. The output end of the drive motor 7 is fixedly connected to a main rotating shaft. A belt 8 is sleeved on the surface of the main rotating shaft. An auxiliary rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the belt 8. One end of the main rotating shaft and the auxiliary rotating shaft are respectively fixedly connected to a spiral shaft A 9 and a spiral shaft B 10. Flexible silicone scrapers 11 are installed on the surfaces of both spiral shaft A 9 and spiral shaft B 10.

[0031] The process involves starting the drive motor 7, and using the flexible silicone scrapers 11 on the surfaces of the A spiral shaft 9 and the B spiral shaft 10 to scrape away the scale adhering to the bulkhead as the shafts rotate. After cleaning, the A drain valve 13 and the B drain valve 16 are opened to discharge the wastewater.

[0032] The other end of the spiral working chamber 2 is fixedly connected to an atomizing chamber, and one end of the atomizing chamber is fixedly connected to a fan 12. The bottom surface of the spiral working chamber 2 is fixedly connected to a drain valve 13.

[0033] Among them, the fan 12 facilitates the delivery of the generated water mist into the air, and the drain valve 13 facilitates the discharge of sewage from the spiral working chamber 2.

[0034] A delivery pump 14 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the water tank 1. The output end of the delivery pump 14 is connected to the bottom of one end of the spiral working chamber 2, and the input end of the delivery pump 14 is connected to the inside of the water tank 1.

[0035] The transfer pump 14 is turned on to transfer the water in the water tank 1 to the spiral working chamber 2 for humidification.

[0036] A water inlet pipe 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of water tank 1, and a drain valve 16 (B) is fixedly connected to one side of water tank 1.

[0040] All four sides of the bottom surface of the water tank 1 are fixedly connected with casters 18, and brake pads are fixedly installed inside the casters 18.

[0041] Among them, the casters 18 facilitate the movement of this self-cleaning dual-axis spiral humidifier, improving its flexibility of use.

[0042] Working Principle: When using this self-cleaning dual-shaft spiral humidifier, the valve connecting valve pipe 5 is opened, allowing a certain amount of citric acid solution to be transferred from the citric acid solution storage tank 6 to the water tank 1. The control device 19 then activates the ultrasonic generator 3. The high-frequency oscillation signal emitted by the ultrasonic generator 3 is converted into high-frequency mechanical oscillation through the ultrasonic vibration plate 4 and propagates into the cleaning medium in the water tank 1. Utilizing the cavitation, acceleration, and direct flow effects of ultrasound in the liquid, the liquid and contaminants are directly and indirectly acted upon, causing the contaminant layer to be dispersed, emulsified, and peeled off, thus achieving the cleaning purpose. Ultrasonic vibration can accelerate the dissolution of citric acid solution and increase the cleanliness of the cleaning. At the same time, the drive motor 7 is started, and the flexible silicone scrapers 11 on the surface of the A spiral shaft 9 and B spiral shaft 10 scrape off the scale adhering to the chamber wall as the shafts rotate. After cleaning, the A drain valve 13 and B drain valve 16 are opened to discharge the sewage, thereby realizing the self-cleaning function of the dual-shaft spiral humidifier. This avoids the accumulation of dirt, scale and other impurities in the water tank 1 and spiral working chamber 2, which can cause the sprayed water to have an unpleasant odor and require regular manual cleaning, which is time-consuming and laborious. This helps to improve the cleaning efficiency.
