Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meteorological artificial rain enhancement technology, and in particular to a portable artificial rain enhancement snow ground smoke generator. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, artificial rain enhancement mainly employs three methods: aircraft (including drones) catalysis, ground-based rocket (anti-aircraft gun) operations, and ground-based smoke generators. Aircraft and rocket operations have significant limitations: firstly, they are significantly constrained by adverse weather conditions and aircraft performance; secondly, with increasingly stringent airspace management and greater difficulty in obtaining airspace permits, it is often difficult to obtain operational permits in a timely manner, easily leading to missed opportunities for optimal catalysis.

[0003] Ground-based flue gas furnace technology utilizes the updrafts of terrain to transport the catalyst to the clouds by deploying silver iodide combustion devices on the windward slopes of high mountains. This technology offers advantages such as being unrestricted by airspace and capable of all-weather operation, making it particularly suitable for areas with strict airspace control, complex mountainous regions, and areas with poor transportation access. However, existing ground-based flue gas furnaces are all fixed, large-scale devices whose catalytic efficiency depends entirely on natural updraft conditions and cloud moisture content, resulting in significant drawbacks: First, due to their fixed location, the amount of catalyst transported into the clouds cannot be guaranteed, requiring passive waiting for suitable weather conditions at the furnace's location; second, to improve catalytic efficiency, multiple furnaces often need to be densely deployed, leading to catalyst waste and significantly increasing land occupation and equipment investment costs.

[0022] In view of this, the present invention provides a portable artificial rain and snow ground smoke generator. The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a portable artificial rain and snow ground smoke generator is provided. The present invention provides a portable artificial rain and snow ground smoke generator, which includes: a catalytic combustion chamber, a flame strip spreading rack, a catalyst venting pipe, an ignition control system, a booster fan, and a power supply system.

[0024] The catalytic combustion chamber has an inverted bucket-shaped top with a vent. The main body has a flame spreader mounting port and a storage port on its side. The flame spreader is detachably installed in the mounting port, with multiple flame mounting positions. The catalyst vent pipe is a straight pipe formed by multiple sections joined end-to-end, with one end fitting into the vent. The top of the catalyst vent pipe connects to the interior of the catalytic combustion chamber. The ignition control system is installed outside the catalytic combustion chamber, directly opposite the flame spreader, to control flame ignition. The booster fan is also installed outside the catalytic combustion chamber, directly opposite the ignition control system. The power supply system is electrically connected to the ignition control system and the booster fan, providing power to both.

[0025] Specifically, the catalytic combustion chamber 1 adopts an all-steel structure, lined with fire-resistant and heat-insulating refractory asbestos cloth. Its top is designed in an inverted bucket shape, with a 100mm diameter circular vent 101 in the center for connecting the catalyst vent pipe 3. Rectangular flame spreader mounting ports 102 and storage ports 103 are provided on the sides. The edges of the flame spreader mounting ports 102 are folded and fitted with fire-resistant sealing strips to ensure airtightness during operation. A flatbed trolley 7 is detachably mounted to the bottom of the catalytic combustion chamber 1 via bolts. The flatbed trolley 7 has two pulleys 701 on one side and two adjustable support legs 702 on the other side. An aluminum alloy telescopic pull rod 703 is installed on the upper part of the pulley side for easy towing and transportation.

[0026] The flame spreader 2 is detachably installed in the flame spreader mounting port 102 of the combustion chamber via a locking mechanism. It includes two parallel aluminum alloy mounting brackets 201, each with raised reinforcing ribs. Several flame spreader guide seats 202 are welded between the two mounting brackets 201. Flame A is installed inside the flame spreader guide seats 202. The attached diagram shows four flame spreader guide seats 202. In actual use, the number of flame spreaders can be designed according to different situations. The modular design allows for the installation of different numbers of flame spreaders based on the required number of flames. A heat dissipation groove 2021 is formed along the length of the flame spreader guide seat 202, with one end connected to the flame spreader mounting position and the other end equipped with a flame shield 204. During combustion, flames will leap upwards from the flame spreader opening; the flame shield 204 effectively prevents the flames from igniting other flames. The mounting bracket is externally covered by a sealed shell 205, and ventilation holes 2011 are arranged on the mounting bracket 201.

[0027] The catalyst venting pipe 3 is composed of multiple sections of stainless steel pipe with an inner diameter of 100mm, which are connected and fixed to each other by an inward clamping edge 301. The first section of the pipe can be adapted to be connected to the outside of the venting port 101 of the catalytic combustion chamber, and a rainproof cover 302 is installed on the top. The rainproof cover 302 includes a sleeve with an inner diameter of 100mm, which can be inserted into the inward clamping edge 301 of the last section of the pipe, and also includes a conical rain cap. The conical rain cap is connected to the sleeve by a thin rod, and the channel formed between the rain cap and the sleeve can release catalyst fumes.

[0028] The ignition control system 4 is integrated onto the cover plate 8, which is made of 10mm thick insulating epoxy resin board. Its shape matches the sprayer mounting bracket 201, and the back is a circuit board 401. The circuit board 401 is embedded in the circuit mounting holes 801 of the cover plate. Flexible copper contacts 402 are installed in copper terminal mounting bases 403, which are fixedly mounted on the circuit board 401. The flexible copper contacts 402 connect to the metal contacts at the tail of the flame strip. The system uses DC 12V power and can be powered by a 12V battery. It primarily uses a relay control module with wireless communication capabilities as the main controller for ignition. Communication is wireless, using mobile phone software to control the ignition operation. Typically, the ignition control system includes a main control module and a relay drive circuit. The main control module is connected to the relay drive circuit, which in turn connects to the relay that performs the ignition, controlling the execution of the ignition action. The main control module is connected to the wireless communication module, wirelessly connecting to the mobile phone control terminal. The tail of the flame is connected to the ignition system via metal contacts. An electric igniter, typically composed of a resistance wire and combustible agent, is embedded in the tail. When energized, it heats up and ignites the agent. After the mobile phone sends an ignition signal, the main control module of the ignition control system receives the signal via a wireless communication module. This signal, through a relay drive module, activates the relay, connecting the ignition switch, igniting the electric igniter, and thus the agent and the main catalyst within the flame. Smoke is ejected from the catalytic combustion chamber, discharged through the catalyst venting pipe, and rises into the clouds. This ignition control system is a current technology used in the flame ignition process and can be implemented in various ways, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0029] The booster fan 5 includes an air collector shroud 501 and an axial flow fan 502. The air collector shroud is funnel-shaped, with its large-diameter end fixed to the flame spreader mounting port 102 and its small-diameter end connected to the axial flow fan 502. Ventilation holes are provided on the cover plate 8 and the two parallel mounting brackets 201 to form an air passage, forcibly guiding the airflow into the vent pipe 3. The booster fan can be controlled by an electrical circuit, starting after ignition and automatically shutting off after the flame catalytic spreading is complete.

[0030] The power supply system 6 is a 12V lithium battery pack, which is electrically connected to the main control system of the ignition control system 4 and the power supply interface of the booster fan 5.

[0031] After daily operations are completed, the flame spreader, catalyst venting pipe, ignition control system, booster fan, and power supply system can be completely disassembled for storage. The internal space of the catalytic combustion chamber is used to store the flame spreader and ignition control system, which can be inserted through the storage opening and secured with high-density foam to prevent collisions during transportation. The catalyst venting pipe, booster fan, and power supply system are stored in a portable toolbox.

[0032] In summary, the portable artificial rain and snow ground-based smoke generator of this invention achieves portability and high efficiency in artificial rain and snow operations through modular design: It adopts a quick-assembly and disassembly all-steel structure, coupled with pulleys and telescopic rods, allowing for transportation and deployment by a single person or small vehicle. It can also be deployed at higher positions depending on weather and terrain, ensuring sufficient catalyst delivery into the clouds; the innovative adjustable venting pipe structure actively guides the catalyst into the clouds, significantly improving catalytic efficiency; the integrated multi-mode communication remote ignition system ensures operational safety and overcomes airspace limitations; simultaneously, the equipment's storage design effectively extends its service life and significantly reduces operating costs, providing a flexible and reliable solution for emergency drought relief, forest fire prevention, and other scenarios.
