For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a pesticide drift prevention nozzle for agricultural drones is provided, including an air inlet 1, a wind shield 3, a pressurizing nozzle 4, and an atomizing nozzle 5. The air inlet 1 is fixedly connected to the outside of the wind shield 3, and both the pressurizing nozzle 4 and the atomizing nozzle 5 are fixedly connected to the wind shield 3, with the pressurizing nozzle 4 located on one side of the atomizing nozzle 5.
[0034] An air intake assembly is provided on the air intake seat 1, and the air intake assembly is connected to the wind shield 3.
[0035] The wind shield 3 is equipped with an air intake channel, which is connected to the air intake assembly.
[0036] The pressurizing nozzle 4 includes a nozzle body 41 and a nozzle orifice 42. The nozzle body 41 is fixedly connected inside the windproof cover 3, and the nozzle orifice 42 is located in the middle of the nozzle body 41 and is connected to the air intake channel.
[0037] The atomizing nozzle 5 includes a nozzle body 51, a spray channel 52, and a spray hole 53. The nozzle body 51 is connected to one end of the windproof cover 3. The spray channel 52 is located inside the nozzle body 51 and is connected to the spray hole 42. The spray hole 53 is located at one end of the nozzle body 51 and is connected to the spray channel 52.
[0038] The pesticide drift prevention nozzle for agricultural drones provided in this application uses a wind shield 3 to block lateral airflow, and a high-speed annular airflow barrier formed by the air intake assembly and air intake channel to wrap the droplets and guide them to fall vertically. The arc-shaped spray hole 53 design makes the droplet distribution more concentrated, reduces edge drift, and provides more sufficient pesticide coverage in the target area, thereby improving the control effect.
[0039] Working process: Outside air enters the air intake channel of the windproof cover 3 through the air intake assembly on the air intake seat 1, forming a high-speed airflow. The high-speed airflow is accelerated at the nozzle 42 of the pressurized nozzle 4, forming a local negative pressure zone. The negative pressure zone draws the liquid medicine in from the spray channel 52 and mixes it with the high-speed airflow. The mixed gas and liquid are further broken up at the nozzle 53 of the atomizing nozzle 5, forming fine droplets that are sprayed out. The windproof cover 3 reduces interference from the external airflow, while the barrier formed by the high-speed airflow envelops the droplets, reducing their susceptibility to environmental wind forces and thus reducing drift.
[0040] In another embodiment of this utility model, a support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the air intake seat 1 to facilitate the installation and fixation of the windproof cover 3.
[0041] In another embodiment of this utility model, the air intake assembly includes a first air intake 11 and a second air intake 12, which are concentrically arranged. The diameter of the first air intake 11 is larger than that of the second air intake 12. The first air intake 11 (large diameter) introduces the main airflow, forming a low-speed protective air curtain around the nozzle, reducing the interference of external lateral airflow on the droplets. The second air intake 12 (small diameter) accelerates the airflow through the Venturi effect, forming a high-speed core airflow, enhancing the droplet settling kinetic energy and suppressing drift. The high-speed airflow of the second air intake 12 generates a strong negative pressure at the pressurized nozzle 4, efficiently entraining the liquid into the spray channel 52, achieving gas-liquid mixing and preliminary atomization. The dual airflow layers form a "soft shell" structure, maintaining the spray pattern in crosswind conditions and ensuring that the droplets are vertically deposited to the target area.
[0042] In another embodiment of this utility model, the air intake channel includes a first air intake channel 31 and a second air intake channel 32, which are concentrically arranged. The diameter of the first air intake channel 31 is larger than that of the second air intake channel 32. The first air intake channel 31 is connected to the second air intake hole 12, and the second air intake channel 32 is connected to the nozzle 42. The first air intake channel 31 (large diameter) guides the main airflow entering from the first air intake hole 11, forming a low-speed annular air curtain around the droplets and resisting interference from external lateral airflow. The second air intake channel 32 (small diameter) delivers the high-speed auxiliary airflow entering from the second air intake hole 12, which directly acts on the pressurized nozzle 4, achieving liquid injection and atomization through high-speed jet. The difference in diameter between the two channels creates a pressure gradient: the first channel maintains a lower air pressure (approximately 0.1-0.2 MPa) to form a stable air curtain, while the second channel maintains a higher air pressure (approximately 0.3-0.5 MPa) to provide atomization kinetic energy and ensure gas-liquid mixing efficiency. The concentric structure of the first air intake channel 31 and the second air intake channel 32 ensures that the airflow direction of the inner and outer layers is consistent, avoids the formation of turbulence, reduces the risk of liquid backflow into the air intake system, and enhances the stability of the nozzle in complex airflow environments.
[0043] In another embodiment of this invention, both the spray hole 42 and the spray nozzle 53 are connected to the spray channel 52, with the spray nozzle 53 being arc-shaped. When the gas-liquid mixture passes through the arc-shaped spray nozzle 53, the fluid is forced to flow along the curve, generating centrifugal force. This centrifugal force further breaks the liquid into finer droplets, resulting in a more uniform droplet distribution and improved atomization quality. The arc-shaped structure guides the droplets to form a fan-shaped spray at a specific angle, expanding the coverage area while maintaining droplet density. Compared to the traditional straight spray hole 42, the arc-shaped design reduces the drift of edge droplets, making the droplets more concentrated in the target area. The streamlined design at the outlet of the arc-shaped spray nozzle 53 makes the initial velocity direction of the droplets closer to vertically downward, reducing the initial velocity component in the horizontal direction and lowering the risk of drift. The vortex effect formed by the high-speed airflow within the arc-shaped channel further encapsulates the droplets, enhancing their resistance to wind interference.
[0044] In another embodiment of this utility model, a striking pin 7 is provided in the air intake channel. The striking pin 7 is movably inserted through the wind shield 3 and sequentially inserted through the first air intake channel 31 and the second air intake channel 32. The end of the striking pin 7 near the pressurizing nozzle 4 is conical. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the striking pin 7 and the wind shield 3, and the sealing ring is fixedly connected to the wind shield 3. The liquid medicine is pre-broken at the inlet of the pressurizing nozzle 4, dispersing large particles of liquid medicine into fine droplets, thus optimizing the initial atomization effect. When the high-speed airflow passes through the air intake channel, it causes the striking pin 7 to vibrate at high frequency, further refining the droplets and preventing agglomeration, making the droplet size more concentrated in the anti-drift range (150-400μm). The reciprocating motion of the striking pin 7 (amplitude of about 0.5-1mm) effectively removes impurities or crystals in the channel, avoiding blockage of the nozzle 42 due to liquid medicine deposition. The streamlined design of the conical head reduces fluid resistance and prevents solid particles from being trapped. The sealing ring is made of fluororubber material resistant to pesticide corrosion, ensuring the sealing performance at the moving gap of the impact pin 7. The sealing ring structure fixed to the wind shield 3 prevents liquid pesticide from seeping into the air intake system, avoiding a decrease in atomization efficiency due to air path contamination.
[0045] The pesticide drift prevention nozzle for agricultural drones provided in this application uses a wind shield 3 to block lateral airflow, and a high-speed annular airflow barrier formed by the air intake assembly and air intake channel to wrap the droplets and guide them to fall vertically. The arc-shaped spray hole 53 design makes the droplet distribution more concentrated, reduces edge drift, and provides more sufficient pesticide coverage in the target area, thereby improving the control effect.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
