Description

Technical Field

[0002] Atomizing nozzles are widely used in various fields to atomize and spray liquid streams. The most common type is the centrifugal nozzle, often a swirling nozzle. This involves supplying two or more liquid streams simultaneously, which rotate in the same direction inside the nozzle. After being accelerated by the swirling chamber, the liquid streams are finally ejected from the nozzle orifice in a conical spray pattern. During this process, the liquid stream spirals forward within the swirling chamber and experiences radial acceleration outward from the nozzle, inevitably leading to the formation of air nuclei.

[0003] In related technologies, the valve core and valve seat of the swirling nozzle cooperate to form a swirling chamber. The liquid flow entering the swirling chamber is affected by factors such as the shape, volume, surface roughness of the swirling chamber, pressure fluctuations of the supply system, and pipeline layout. Its pressure is unstable, which causes the air nuclei formed in the swirling chamber to continuously vibrate. That is, the size and position of the air nuclei continuously change within a certain range, ultimately leading to unstable nozzle spray volume. Utility Model Content

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0034] The swirling jet structure in related technologies includes a valve core and a valve seat, with the valve core mating with the valve seat. The valve seat has multiple inlet channels for liquid flow. Multiple liquid streams enter the valve seat through these channels and impact the lower half of the valve core. Under the action of the valve core, the multiple liquid streams converge and rotate around the valve seat's axis, simultaneously lifting the valve core to a certain height. The rotating liquid then enters the swirling chamber, spiraling towards the jet channel before finally being ejected. However, the air nucleus formed within this swirling chamber continuously vibrates; that is, the size and position of the air nucleus continuously change within a certain range, ultimately leading to unstable jet volume from the nozzle.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a swirling jet structure, including a valve core 1 and a valve seat 2. The valve core 1 has a spherical structure or the lower part of the valve core 1 is configured as a spherical structure. The valve core 1 is provided with a first mating structure and is disposed inside the valve seat 2. Along the jetting direction of the liquid flow, the valve seat 2 is provided with a second mating structure, a jetting channel 23, and a jetting port 24. The first and second mating structures together form a swirling chamber. The jetting channel 23 communicates with the swirling chamber, and the jetting port 24 communicates with the jetting channel 23. The swirling chamber is used to cause the liquid flow to spiral forward toward the jetting channel 23 within its interior. At least one of the first and second mating structures is provided with a plane. Compared with the swirling chambers in the prior art, the air nucleus formed in the swirling chamber formed by the first and second mating structures experiences less vibration and is more stable, thereby making the jetting volume more stable.

[0037] Furthermore, along the injection direction of the liquid flow, the second mating structure is provided with a connected sealing section 21 and a groove section, and the diameter of the sealing section 21 gradually decreases along the injection direction of the liquid flow. The valve core 1 can abut against the sealing section 21. A portion of the valve core 1 is located within the space enclosed by the sealing section 21, and the groove of the groove section communicates with the injection channel 23. By setting a portion of the valve core 1 to be located within the space enclosed by the sealing section 21, even after the rotating liquid flow lifts the valve core 1, a portion of the valve core 1 remains within the space enclosed by the sealing section 21. This allows the liquid flow to enter the vortex chamber more smoothly under the guidance of the valve core 1, avoiding increased pressure fluctuations in the liquid flow.

[0038] Specifically, the first mating structure has a convex spherical surface 11a protruding towards the second mating structure, and a flat-bottomed groove 22b. The inner surfaces of the convex spherical surface 11a and the flat-bottomed groove 22b together form a vortex chamber. That is, in this embodiment, the second mating structure has a plane. The valve core 1 is a complete spherical structure, and the convex spherical surface 11a is part of the outer surface of the valve core 1. According to simulation verification and actual verification, compared with the vortex chamber of the convex spherical surface 11a and the spherical groove 22a in the prior art, the vibration amplitude and vibration range of the gas nucleus formed by the vortex chamber of the convex spherical surface 11a and the flat-bottomed groove 22b in this embodiment are significantly reduced, and the stability of the injection volume of the injection port 24 is significantly improved. In this embodiment, the flat-bottomed groove 22b is a cylindrical groove. It can be understood that when the depth of the flat-bottomed groove 22b is equal to the depth of the spherical groove 22a in the prior art, the volume of the flat-bottomed groove 22b is larger, thereby forming a larger swirling chamber, which can further suppress the pressure fluctuation of the liquid flow, make the formed air core more stable, reduce shaking, and thus make the injection volume more stable.

[0039] Furthermore, the cone angle of the sealing section 21 is 110°-130°, for example, the cone angle of the sealing section 21 can be 110°, 111°, 112°, 113°, 114°, 115°, 116°, 117°, 118°, 119°, 120°, 121°, 122°, 123°, 124°, 125°, 126°, 127°, 128°, 129° or 130°. In this embodiment, the cone angle of the sealing section 21 is preferably 120 degrees to balance sealing performance and allow the liquid flow to smoothly enter the vortex chamber. In addition, those skilled in the art can also change the cone angle of the sealing section 21 according to the actual engineering needs, which will not be specifically illustrated here.

[0040] Furthermore, the aspect ratio of the injection channel 23 is 1-2.5, and / or the cone angle of the injection port 24 is 80°-100°. The injection channel 23 is a cylindrical structure with an aspect ratio of 1-2.5. For example, the aspect ratio of the injection channel 23 can be 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, or 2.5. In this embodiment, the aspect ratio of the injection channel 23 is preferably 1.5, so that the liquid flow can fully adjust its motion posture during the process of passing through the injection channel 23, in order to ensure a better atomization effect.

[0041] Along the jetting direction of the liquid flow, the diameter of the jet nozzle 24 gradually increases, and the cone angle of the jet nozzle 24 is 80°-100°. For example, the cone angle of the jet nozzle 24 can be 80°, 81°, 82°, 83°, 84°, 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, 90°, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, 96°, 97°, 98°, 99°, or 100°. In this embodiment, the cone angle of the jet nozzle 24 is preferably 90 degrees, so that the jetting liquid flow is fully broken and atomized under the combined action of centrifugal force and air, ensuring a good atomization effect.

[0042] It should be noted that the cone angle of the sealing section 21, the length-to-diameter ratio of the injection channel 23, and the cone angle of the injection port 24 are not independent of each other. Those skilled in the art can selectively adjust some or all of them according to actual engineering needs to obtain different parameter combinations to meet the corresponding engineering requirements. It is impossible to list all the combinations here, so they will not be elaborated further.

[0043] In this embodiment, the swirling jet structure lifts the valve core 1 into the swirling chamber during liquid injection, where it accelerates and generates an air nucleus. The liquid then passes through the injection channel 23 and the nozzle, where it is atomized and ejected. The air nucleus occupies a portion of the swirling chamber's volume. Furthermore, due to factors such as surface roughness, supply system pressure fluctuations, and pipeline layout, the pressure of the liquid entering the swirling chamber varies irregularly. This pressure variation causes the air nucleus to vibrate, meaning its position and size change irregularly, resulting in inconsistent injection volume at the final injection port 24, which is detrimental to precise control. This embodiment addresses this by modifying the swirling chamber's structure. Without altering the dimensions of the valve core 1 and valve seat 2, the swirling chamber is designed to suppress liquid pressure variations within a certain range, thereby suppressing or eliminating air nucleus vibration and ultimately ensuring a stable injection volume at the injection port 24.

[0044] This invention provides a swirling nozzle, including the swirling injection structure in this embodiment. By setting the swirling injection structure in this embodiment, the injection volume of the injection device is more stable. The injection device can be applied in various fields that require atomized injection and stable injection volume control, such as fuel injectors in engines, urea nozzles in exhaust aftertreatment systems, or atomizing nozzles in the chemical industry.

[0045] This utility model provides an exhaust gas aftertreatment device, including the swirl nozzle in this embodiment. By setting the swirl nozzle in this embodiment to spray urea liquid, the injection volume of urea liquid is more stable, thereby avoiding problems such as ammonia leakage and urea crystallization caused by excessive injection volume, and also avoiding problems such as unqualified exhaust gas treatment caused by insufficient injection volume, thus ensuring the emission performance of the engine.

[0046] This utility model provides a vehicle, including the swirl nozzle and / or the exhaust aftertreatment device of this embodiment. That is, the vehicle may only include the exhaust aftertreatment device of this embodiment to ensure emission performance. Alternatively, it may only include the swirl nozzle of this embodiment, using it as a fuel injector to ensure stable engine fuel injection and improve power performance. Or, it may include both the swirl nozzle and the exhaust aftertreatment device of this embodiment, achieving both emission performance and improved power performance.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] To avoid repetitive description, this embodiment will only describe the differences from Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the first mating structure in this embodiment has a plane 11b and a spherical groove 22a.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2As shown, valve core 1 is a spherical cap valve core, and the first mating structure has a plane 11b and a groove section is a spherical groove 22a. The distance between the plane 11b and the center of the sphere of valve core 1 is less than the radius of valve core 1, that is, valve core 1 is a spherical cap valve core. In this embodiment, the first mating structure is provided with a plane. The plane 11b and the inner surface of the spherical groove 22a together form a vortex chamber. According to simulation verification and actual verification, compared with the vortex chamber of the convex spherical surface 11a and the spherical groove 22a in the prior art, the air nucleus formed by the plane 11b and the spherical groove 22a in this embodiment hardly exhibits any vibration, and the stability of the injection volume of the injection port 24 is greatly improved. In addition, compared with the prior art, the first mating structure is provided with a plane 11b, which reduces the space occupied by valve core 1 in the space enclosed by the sealing section 21, thereby increasing the volume of the vortex chamber formed, which has a certain suppressive effect on the pressure fluctuation of the liquid flow, making the formed air nucleus more stable, reducing vibration, and thus making the injection volume more stable.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] To avoid repetitive description, this embodiment will only describe the differences from Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the first mating structure in this embodiment has a plane 11b and the groove is set as a flat-bottomed groove 22b.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, valve core 1 is a spherical cap valve core. The first mating structure has a plane 11b and a groove 22b with a flat bottom. The distance between the plane 11b and the center of the sphere of valve core 1 is less than the radius of valve core 1, i.e., valve core 1 is a spherical cap valve core. The flat bottom groove 22b is a cylindrical groove. In this embodiment, both the first and second mating structures have planes, and the inner surfaces of the plane 11b and the flat bottom groove 22b together form a vortex chamber. According to simulation and actual verification, compared with the vortex chambers of the convex spherical surface 11a and the spherical groove 22a in the prior art, the gas nucleus formed by the vortex chambers of the plane 11b and the flat bottom groove 22b in this embodiment hardly experiences any vibration, and the stability of the injection volume of the injection port 24 is greatly improved. Compared with the prior art, the first mating structure has a plane 11b, which reduces the space occupied by the sealing section 21. It can be understood that when the depth of the flat bottom groove 22b is equal to the depth of the spherical groove 22a in the prior art, the volume of the flat bottom groove 22b is larger. The resulting swirling chamber has a larger volume, which has a certain suppressive effect on the pressure fluctuation of the liquid flow, making the air nucleus more stable and reducing vibration, thereby making the injection volume more stable.

[0053] Example 4

[0054] To avoid repetitive description, this embodiment will only describe the differences from Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the first mating structure of this embodiment is provided with a concave spherical surface 11c and the groove is set as a flat-bottomed groove 22b.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, valve core 1 is a spherical cap valve core. The first mating structure has a concave spherical surface 11c and a flat-bottomed groove 22b. A spherical groove is formed on valve core 1 to create the concave spherical surface 11c, i.e., valve core 1 is a spherical cap valve core. At least a portion of the concave spherical surface 11c is located within the space enclosed by the sealing section 21. The flat-bottomed groove 22b is a cylindrical groove. In this embodiment, the second mating structure has a flat surface, and the inner surfaces of the concave spherical surface 11c and the flat-bottomed groove 22b together form a vortex chamber. Compared with the prior art, the first mating structure is set as a concave spherical surface 11c, which reduces the space occupied by the sealing section 21. At the same time, the setting of the concave spherical surface 11c also helps to further increase the volume of the vortex chamber. According to simulation verification and actual verification, compared with the vortex chamber of the convex spherical surface 11a and the spherical groove 22a in the prior art, the gas nucleus formed by the vortex chamber of the concave spherical surface 11c and the flat-bottomed groove 22b in this embodiment hardly exhibits vibration, and the stability of the injection volume of the injection port 24 is greatly improved. Understandably, when the depth of the flat-bottomed groove 22b is equal to the depth of the spherical groove 22a in the prior art, the volume of the flat-bottomed groove 22b is larger. This results in a larger vortex chamber volume, which has a certain suppressive effect on pressure fluctuations in the liquid flow, making the formed air nucleus more stable, reducing vibration, and thus making the injection volume more stable.

[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
