Detailed Implementation
[0037] As a professional municipal sanitation vehicle used in urban roads, garden landscapes, industrial plants and other scenarios to perform cleaning, watering and dust suppression operations, the traditional operating mode of water sprinkler trucks usually relies on water pumps to pump water out of the water tank, control the flow through a pneumatic shut-off valve, and then use different specifications of spray components such as duckbill nozzles, flushing devices, and mist cannons to achieve the functions of ground washing or air dust suppression.
[0038] However, with the increasing prominence of global water scarcity and the continuous upgrading of environmental protection standards, how to achieve water-saving operation while ensuring the efficiency of flushing operations has become a technical challenge that the industry urgently needs to overcome.
[0039] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a water-air mixing system and a work vehicle that achieves water-saving operation while ensuring the efficiency of the washing operation through water-air mixing.

[0045] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0046] The following describes in detail the overall structure, working principle, and technical effects of the water-air mixing system 100 and the work vehicle 300 provided by this utility model through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a water-air mixing system 100, which can be applied to cleaning equipment such as 300 work vehicles to achieve rinsing and cleaning.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the water-air mixing system 100 includes a water pump 110, an air supply assembly 120, at least one set of Venturi components, and at least one nozzle 160. The Venturi assembly includes a Venturi tube 130 and a reversing valve 150. The Venturi tube 130 includes a converging tube 131, a throat 132, and a diverging tube 133 connected in sequence. The water pump 110 is connected to the converging tube 131, and the throat 132 is provided with a connection port 134, to which the air supply assembly 120 is connected. The reversing valve 150 is disposed in the air passage between the air supply assembly 120 and the connection port 134. The reversing valve 150 has an open state and a closed state. When the reversing valve 150 is closed, it can prevent the air supply assembly 120 from supplying air to the connection port 134. When the reversing valve 150 is open, it can allow the air supply assembly 120 to communicate with the connection port 134. The nozzle 160 is configured to correspond with the venturi assembly and is connected to the diffuser 133.
[0049] This embodiment features a Venturi tube 130, with the water pump 110 connected to the converging tube 131 of the Venturi tube 130. A connection port 134 is provided in the throat 132, connecting the air supply assembly 120 to the connection port 134. The nozzle 160 is then connected to the diffuser 133. A reversing valve 150 is installed in the air path between the air supply assembly 120 and the connection port 134. In some cleaning scenarios, the reversing valve 150 can be closed to achieve a water flushing mode. In other scenarios, the reversing valve 150 can be opened to allow water and air to mix in the Venturi tube 130, achieving a water-air flushing mode. The Venturi tube 130 also allows the fluid to flow faster and at lower pressure as it passes through the narrow throat 132, facilitating the introduction of air into the water and providing a higher flow rate for better flushing.
[0050] In this embodiment, the reversing valve 150 is a two-position two-way reversing valve 150, a two-position three-way reversing valve 150, etc. In other embodiments of this application, the reversing valve 150 may also adopt other pneumatic valve bodies with shut-off functions.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the venturi assembly also includes a one-way valve 170. The one-way valve 170 is disposed in the gas path between the connection port 134 and the reversing valve 150, and the one-way valve 170 allows gas to flow in one direction towards the connection port 134.
[0052] The one-way valve 170 is designed to prevent water from flowing back from the connection port 134 into the air circuit and into the pneumatic components of the reversing valve 150 when the pressure in the throat 132 of the venturi tube 130 is high, which could damage the pneumatic components.
[0053] Furthermore, the connection port 134 is arranged radially along the throat 132, and the one-way valve 170 is threadedly installed on the connection port 134. Of course, the one-way valve 170 is also connected to the connection port 134 via a pipeline.
[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the Venturi assembly further includes a quick-release valve 180, which has a first connection port 181, a second connection port 182, and an exhaust port 183. The first connection port 181 is connected to the reversing valve 150, and the second connection port 182 is connected to the check valve 170. When fluid flows from the reversing valve 150 to the check valve 170, the quick-release valve 180 enables the first connection port 181 to be connected to the second connection port 182. When fluid flows from the check valve 170 to the reversing valve 150, the quick-release valve 180 enables the second connection port 182 to be connected to the exhaust port 183.
[0055] In this embodiment, the quick-release valve 180 can prevent water from being discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 183 in the event that the one-way valve 170 fails or jams and cannot be completely shut off, thereby avoiding damage to the pneumatic components of the air circuit.
[0056] It should be noted that the exhaust port 183 is connected to the external environment. When water flows to the quick exhaust valve 180, the quick exhaust valve 180 will connect the second connection port 182 to the exhaust port 183, thereby guiding the water to the outside of the gas path.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the Venturi assembly also includes a flow control valve 190, which is connected to the first connection port 181 and the directional valve 150.
[0058] In this embodiment, a flow control valve 190 is installed in the air path between the reversing valve 150 and the quick exhaust valve 180. The flow control valve 190 can control the air flow in the air path, thereby achieving a better water-air mixing ratio.
[0059] Furthermore, the flow control valve 190 can be an electro-proportional valve.
[0060] The flow control valve 190 is mainly used to regulate the flow rate of gas. It controls the gas flow area by changing the opening of the valve disc, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the flow rate.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the air supply assembly 120 includes an air compressor 121 and an air tank 122. The air supply port of the air compressor 121 is connected to the inlet of the air tank 122, and the outlet of the air tank 122 is connected to a reversing valve 150. The air tank 122 is equipped with a differential pressure switch 123, which is used to control the start and stop of the air compressor 121.
[0062] In this embodiment, the air supply component 120 is configured as an air compressor 121 and an air storage tank 122, so that a stable air source can be provided when water and air are mixed.
[0063] In this embodiment, the Venturi assembly also includes a pressure sensor 210, which is disposed in the throat 132 to detect the pressure within the throat 132.
[0064] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor 210 is installed in the throat 132 to detect the pressure in the throat 132, thereby facilitating the control of water and gas supply.
[0065] Specifically, the throat 132 has a mounting hole in its radial direction, and the pressure sensor 210 is installed in the mounting hole by thread.
[0066] In this embodiment, the Venturi assembly also includes a control valve 200, which is disposed in the pipeline connecting the nozzle 160 and the diffuser 133 of the Venturi tube 130.
[0067] When it is necessary to stop the operation, the control valve 200 can be closed to quickly stop the operation.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the water-air mixing system 100 also includes a controller 220. The pressure sensor 210, water pump 110, air compressor 121, reversing valve 150, flow control valve 190, etc. are all connected to the controller 220. The controller 220 can control the opening of the flow control valve 190 according to the pressure detected by the pre-pressure sensor 210 and according to the empirical data obtained by formula calculation or actual measurement, so as to provide the corresponding gas to the water circuit, achieve the effect of water saving and keep the water-air mixing ratio in a better state.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Secondly, this embodiment also provides a work vehicle 300, which can be a water sprinkler truck. The work vehicle 300 includes a vehicle body, a water tank 310 disposed on the vehicle body, and the water-air mixing system 100 described in the above embodiment. The water-air mixing system 100 is disposed on the vehicle body, and the water pump 110 is connected to the water tank 310.
[0070] This embodiment improves the cleaning operation by installing the water-air mixing system on the work vehicle 300 and connecting the water pump 110 to the water tank.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2Furthermore, the number of nozzles 160 and venturi assemblies includes multiple units (i.e., the number of venturi tubes 130 and reversing valves 150 also includes multiple units). The converging tubes 131 of all venturi tubes 130 are connected to the water pump 110. Each nozzle 160 is connected to a corresponding diverging tube 133 of the venturi tube 130. Each reversing valve 150 is connected to a corresponding connection port 134 of the venturi tube 130 and is also connected to the air supply assembly 120.
[0072] This embodiment provides each nozzle 160 with a corresponding Venturi tube 130 and an air path, enabling different nozzles 160 to operate at the optimal water-air mixing ratio under different conditions, and allowing different nozzles 160 to be adapted to use with the optimal Venturi tube 130.
[0073] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the Venturi assembly includes multiple check valves 170, multiple quick-release valves 180, multiple flow control valves 190, and multiple control valves 200.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3Furthermore, the Venturi assembly also includes a controller 220 and a plurality of pressure sensors 210. The plurality of pressure sensors 210 are a first pressure sensor 211, a second pressure sensor 212, a third pressure sensor 213, a fourth pressure sensor 214, a fifth pressure sensor 215, and a sixth pressure sensor 216. The first pressure sensor 211 is disposed in the first Venturi tube 135 to detect the pressure within the throat 132 of the first Venturi tube 135. The second pressure sensor 212 is disposed in the second Venturi tube 136 to detect the pressure within the throat 132 of the second Venturi tube 136. The third pressure sensor 213 is disposed in the third Venturi tube 137 to detect the pressure within the throat 132 of the third Venturi tube 137. The fourth pressure sensor 214 is disposed in the fourth Venturi tube 138 to detect the pressure within the throat 132 of the fourth Venturi tube 138. The fifth pressure sensor 215 is installed in the fifth venturi tube 139 to detect the pressure within the throat 132 of the fifth venturi tube 139. The sixth pressure sensor 216 is installed in the sixth venturi tube 140 to detect the pressure within the throat 132 of the sixth venturi tube 140. The controller 220 is connected to the first pressure sensor 211, the second pressure sensor 212, the third pressure sensor 213, the fourth pressure sensor 214, the fifth pressure sensor 215, the sixth pressure sensor 216, the first reversing valve 151, the second reversing valve 152, the third reversing valve 153, the fourth reversing valve 154, the fifth reversing valve 155, the sixth reversing valve 156, the first flow control valve 191, the second flow control valve 192, the third flow control valve 193, the fourth flow control valve 194, the fifth flow control valve 195, the sixth flow control valve 196, the water pump 110, and the air supply assembly 120. The controller 220 can control the first reversing valve 151, the second reversing valve 152, the third reversing valve 153, the fourth reversing valve 154, the fifth reversing valve 155, and the sixth reversing valve 156 to switch between open and closed states according to instructions. The controller 220 can also control the opening degree of the first flow control valve 191 based on the pressure value detected by the first pressure sensor 211. The controller 220 can also control the opening degree of the second flow control valve 192 based on the pressure value detected by the second pressure sensor 212. The controller 220 can also control the opening degree of the third flow control valve 193 based on the pressure value detected by the third pressure sensor 213. The controller 220 can also control the opening degree of the fourth flow control valve 194 based on the pressure value detected by the fourth pressure sensor 214. The controller 220 can also control the opening degree of the fifth flow control valve 195 based on the pressure value detected by the fifth pressure sensor 215. The controller 220 can also control the opening degree of the sixth flow control valve 196 based on the pressure value detected by the sixth pressure sensor 216.
[0084] In this embodiment, the opening degree of the corresponding flow valve can be controlled by the pressure in the throat 132 of the corresponding venturi tube 130 through a pressure combination formula or empirical parameters, thereby achieving better water-air mixing and maintaining the water-air mixing ratio at a better value.
[0085] In summary, this embodiment utilizes a venturi tube 130, connecting the water pump 110 to the converging tube 131 of the venturi tube 130, and a connection port 134 in the throat 132. The air supply assembly 120 is connected to the connection port 134, and the nozzle 160 is connected to the diffuser 133. A reversing valve 150 is installed in the air path between the air supply assembly 120 and the connection port 134. In some cleaning scenarios, the reversing valve 150 can be closed to achieve a water flushing mode. In other scenarios, the reversing valve 150 can be opened to allow water and air to mix in the venturi tube 130, achieving a water-air flushing mode. The venturi tube 130 also allows the fluid to flow faster and at lower pressure as it passes through the narrow throat 132, facilitating the introduction of air into the water and providing a higher flow rate for better flushing.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
