Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomizing devices, specifically to a high-efficiency water particle generator. Background Technology

[0002] Commonly used high-voltage corona atomizing water microparticle generators in the industry cool the emitting electrode using a cooling device, causing water in the surrounding air to condense on the electrode surface and form water microparticles. However, existing water microparticle generators have limited efficiency in producing water microparticles, resulting in a release of far less than expected nano-water microparticles. Furthermore, when this device is used in hair dryers, hot air loses a significant amount of water microparticles during transmission, leading to insufficient water microparticle concentration at the roots of the hair, making it difficult for the hair to fully absorb moisture and thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a high-efficiency water particle generator. By incorporating an ultrasonic generator, liquid water is atomized to form a water mist, which is then transported to the electric shock area of ​​the discharge electrode assembly, thereby making the generation of water particles more efficient.

[0004] A high-efficiency water particle generator, comprising:

[0005] A condenser that condenses water in the surrounding air onto itself.

[0006] A refrigeration component comes into contact with the condenser component to cool the condenser component and form condensate.

[0007] The discharge electrode assembly is used to generate an electric arc that can electrically shock condensed water and form water particles.

[0008] The water particle generating device further includes a first channel, and the condenser includes an ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator is disposed above the refrigeration unit so that liquid water is formed on the surface of the ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator atomizes the liquid water to form water mist, and the water mist is transported to the electric shock area of ​​the discharge electrode group through the first channel.

[0009] The advantage is that the ultrasonic generator in the condenser atomizes the liquid water to form a water mist, which is then transported through the first channel to the electric shock area of ​​the discharge electrode assembly, thereby forming water microparticles. This design makes the generation of water microparticles more efficient.

[0010] Preferably, the water particle generating device further includes a mist outlet communicating with the first channel, the mist outlet being located above the ultrasonic generator, the discharge stage group including a first discharge stage group, the first discharge stage group including a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on opposite sides of the mist outlet, the water mist being discharged from the mist outlet and passing through the electric shock area formed by the first electrode and the second electrode.

[0011] The advantage is that the mist outlet is connected to the first channel, and the water mist can be blown out from the mist outlet through the first channel. The mist outlet is provided with a first electrode and a second electrode on opposite sides. The water mist coming out of the mist outlet can directly reach the electric shock area formed by the first electrode and the second electrode, thereby increasing the number of water particles generated by the water particle generator per unit time.

[0012] Preferably, the condenser further includes a condenser rod disposed in the first channel, the water mist being transported to the surface of the condenser rod through the first channel, and the discharge electrode group including a second discharge electrode group cooperating with the condenser rod, the condenser rod being located within the electric shock area of ​​the second discharge electrode group.

[0013] The advantage is that the condenser is located in the first channel, and the water is transported to the outer surface of the condenser through the first channel, which can improve the transport efficiency. The condenser is located in the electric shock area of ​​the second discharge electrode group, which can further improve the efficiency of water particle generation.

[0014] Preferably, the condenser rod contacts the refrigeration element to form condensate on the surface of the condenser rod.

[0015] The advantage is that this setup increases the moisture content in the air near the condenser rod, making it more efficient for water droplets to form on the surface of the condenser rod.

[0016] Preferably, the first channel includes a first sub-channel arranged along the transverse axis of the water particle generator and a second sub-channel arranged along the longitudinal axis of the condenser rod, the first sub-channel and the second sub-channel being connected, and the ultrasonic generator being arranged along the transverse axis.

[0017] The advantage is that it simplifies the setup of the ultrasonic generator and facilitates the layout of other structural components within the water particle generator.

[0018] Preferably, the water particle generator further includes a mounting frame, the first channel is formed in the mounting frame, the mounting frame is also provided with a first through hole communicating with the second sub-channel and a mist outlet communicating with the first sub-channel, and the condenser rod passes through the first through hole.

[0019] The advantage is that the first through hole and the mist outlet are connected to the first channel, which is conducive to the water mist passing through the first channel and being blown out from the first through hole and the mist outlet respectively. Under the action of the discharge electrode group, water particles are formed, thereby improving the production efficiency of water particles.

[0020] Preferably, there are two condenser rods, which are respectively located on both sides of the mist outlet.

[0021] The advantage is that having two condenser rods located on either side of the mist outlet allows for the generation of more water droplets in the area, resulting in a higher concentration of water droplets per unit time.

[0022] Preferably, the mounting bracket has a mounting cavity, the ultrasonic generator is located inside the mounting cavity, and the second sub-channel is located in the gap between the wall of the mounting cavity and the ultrasonic generator.

[0023] The advantage is that the ultrasonic generator is located inside the installation cavity, which makes good use of the space occupied by the water particle generating device, reduces the size, and simplifies assembly.

[0024] Preferably, the ultrasonic generator includes an ultrasonic plate and a hollow sleeve, the hollow sleeve being fitted around the outer periphery of the ultrasonic plate and fitting against the cooling component.

[0025] The advantages are that the hollow sleeve surrounding the ultrasonic transducer prevents liquid leakage during atomization. Furthermore, the hollow sleeve absorbs and buffers the high-frequency vibrations generated by the ultrasonic transducer during operation, reducing the impact on surrounding components. It also isolates the ultrasonic transducer from the external environment, providing protection and ensuring safety and stability.

[0026] Preferably, the ultrasonic transducer and the cooling element are in a clearance fit, and the gap between them is D, where 0.1mm≤D≤0.5mm; or, the ultrasonic transducer and the cooling element are in a contact fit.

[0027] The advantage is that the tiny gap between the ultrasonic plate and the cooling component allows gaseous water in the air to condense at the gap and then turn into liquid water; the direct contact between the ultrasonic plate and the cooling component allows gaseous water in the air to condense on the surface of the ultrasonic plate and then turn into liquid water.

[0028] Preferably, the water particle generating device further includes an ultrasonic driving power supply and a high-voltage power supply. The ultrasonic generator is electrically connected to the ultrasonic driving power supply, and the discharge electrode group is electrically connected to the high-voltage power supply. A high voltage is applied to the discharge electrode group to form a high-voltage corona discharge.

[0029] The advantage is that the ultrasonic drive power supply and high-voltage power supply are set up independently, allowing for independent power supply without interference. Attached Figure Description

[0040] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a high-efficiency water particle generator includes:

[0041] A high-efficiency water particle generator, comprising:

[0042] Condensing element 1, which condenses water in the air around the condensing element 1 onto the condensing element 1;

[0043] The refrigeration component 2 comes into contact with the condenser component 1 and cools the condenser component 1 to form condensate.

[0044] The discharge electrode assembly 3 is used to generate an electric arc that can electrically shock condensed water and form water particles;

[0045] The water particle generating device further includes a first channel 4, and the condenser 1 includes an ultrasonic generator 5. The ultrasonic generator 5 is disposed above the refrigeration unit 2 so that liquid water is formed on the surface of the ultrasonic generator 5. The ultrasonic generator 5 atomizes the liquid water to form water mist, and the water mist is transported to the electric shock area of ​​the discharge electrode group through the first channel 4.

[0046] With this configuration, the ultrasonic generator 5 in the condenser 1 atomizes the liquid water to form water mist. The water mist is then transported through the first channel 4 to the electric shock area of ​​the discharge electrode group 3, thereby forming water particles, which makes the generation of water particles more efficient.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 6, the water particle generator further includes a mist outlet 6 connected to the first channel 4. The mist outlet 6 is located above the ultrasonic generator 5. The discharge stage group 3 includes a first discharge stage group 301. The first discharge stage group 301 includes a first electrode 3011 and a second electrode 3012 disposed on opposite sides of the mist outlet 6. The water mist is discharged from the mist outlet 6 and passes through the electric shock area formed by the first electrode 3011 and the second electrode 3012.

[0048] The mist outlet 6 is connected to the first channel 4, and the water mist can be blown out from the mist outlet 6 through the first channel 4. The mist outlet 6 is provided with a first electrode 3011 and a second electrode 3012 on opposite sides. The water mist coming out of the mist outlet 6 can directly reach the electric shock area formed by the first electrode 3011 and the second electrode 3012, thereby increasing the number of water particles generated by the water particle generator per unit time.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the condenser 1 also includes a condenser rod 7, which is disposed in the first channel 4. The water mist is transported to the surface of the condenser rod 7 through the first channel 4. The discharge stage group 3 includes a second discharge stage group 302 that cooperates with the condenser rod 7. The condenser rod 7 is located in the electric shock area of ​​the second discharge stage group 302.

[0050] With this configuration, part of the condenser rod 7 is located inside the first channel 4, and the water is transported to the outer surface of the condenser rod 7 through the first channel 4, which can improve the transport efficiency. The condenser rod 7 is located in the electric shock area of ​​the second discharge electrode group 302, which can further improve the efficiency of water particle generation.

[0051] The water mist atomized by the ultrasonic generator 5 can be transported through the first channel 4 to the discharge area of ​​the discharge electrode group 3, and through the first channel 4 to the surface of the condenser rod 7; or / and, discharged from the mist outlet 6 above the ultrasonic generator 5 and passed through the electric shock area.

[0052] The condenser rod 7 contacts the cooling element 2 to form condensate on the surface of the condenser rod 7. This arrangement can increase the moisture content in the air near the condenser rod 7, making the formation of water particles on the surface of the condenser rod more efficient.

[0053] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the first channel 4 includes a first sub-channel 401 arranged along the transverse axis of the water particle generator and a second sub-channel 402 arranged along the longitudinal axis of the condenser 7. The first sub-channel 401 and the second sub-channel 402 are connected, and the ultrasonic generator 5 is arranged along the transverse axis.

[0054] With this configuration, the ultrasonic generator 5 is located in the second sub-channel 402, which simplifies the setup and also facilitates the layout of other structural components within the water particle generator.

[0055] like Figure 1 , 3The water particle generator further includes a mounting frame 8, the first channel 4 is formed in the mounting frame 8, the mounting frame 8 is also provided with a first through hole 801 communicating with the second sub-channel 402 and a mist outlet 6 communicating with the first sub-channel 401, and the condenser rod 7 passes through the first through hole 801.

[0056] With this configuration, the first through hole 801 and the mist outlet 6 are connected to the first channel 4, which facilitates the water mist to pass through the first channel 4 and be blown out from the first through hole 801 and the mist outlet 6 respectively. Under the action of the discharge electrode group 3, water particles are formed, thereby improving the production efficiency of water particles.

[0057] Furthermore, the electric arc generated by the first electrode 301 and the second electrode 302 passes directly through the area above the mist outlet 6. The water mist passes through the mist outlet 6 in the first channel 4 and is released outward, passing directly through the first electrode 301 and the second electrode 302, so that the water mist is converted into water particles. With this configuration, under the action of the electric arc, the water mist is converted into smaller water particles. Compared with the water particles formed by the condenser rod, the water particles are finer and the water particle generation efficiency is higher.

[0058] Furthermore, there are two condenser rods 7, which are respectively located on both sides of the mist outlet 6.

[0059] With this configuration, having two condenser rods 7 located on either side of the mist outlet 6, the amount of water particles generated in this area is increased, and the concentration of water particles generated per unit time is higher.

[0060] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the mounting frame 8 is provided with a mounting cavity 9, the ultrasonic generator 5 is located in the mounting cavity 9, and the second sub-channel 402 is located in the gap between the wall of the mounting cavity 9 and the ultrasonic generator 5.

[0061] With this configuration, the ultrasonic generator 5 is housed within the mounting cavity 9, which makes efficient use of the space occupied by the water particle generating device, reducing its size and simplifying assembly. Furthermore, the wall of the mounting cavity 9 and the ultrasonic generator 5 define a second sub-channel 402, through which water mist is transported to the electric shock area of ​​the discharge electrode assembly, resulting in a simple and efficient water mist transport path.

[0062] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 5, the ultrasonic generator 5 includes an ultrasonic plate 501 and a hollow sleeve 502. The hollow sleeve 502 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the ultrasonic plate 501 and is in contact with the cooling component 2.

[0063] The hollow sleeve 502 is fitted onto the outer surface of the ultrasonic plate 504, preventing liquid leakage during atomization. The hollow sleeve 502 fits tightly around the ultrasonic plate 501, ensuring that condensate can only be converted into water mist through the vibration of the ultrasonic plate 501, thus ensuring the working efficiency of the ultrasonic plate 501. It also absorbs and buffers the energy generated by the vibration of the ultrasonic plate 501, reducing the impact of vibration on surrounding components, preventing long-term vibration damage, and extending the service life of the water particle generator. Furthermore, it isolates the ultrasonic plate 501 from the external environment, preventing physical damage such as collisions, and preventing impurities in the liquid from adsorbing onto the outer surface of the ultrasonic plate 501, thus protecting its performance. Finally, it provides electrical insulation, preventing short circuits and other electrical faults during operation. By isolating the ultrasonic plate 501 from other metal components or conductive materials, it ensures normal current flow, guaranteeing the stability and safety of the ultrasonic generator 5.

[0064] The hollow sleeve 502 can be a silicone component, which can provide a sealing effect; it can also be a component made of other materials.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, the gap between the ultrasonic plate 501 and the cooling component 2 is D, where 0.1mm ≤ D ≤ 0.5mm. Gaseous water condenses in the gap, transforming into liquid water. When D > 0.5mm, the gap is too large, and the liquid water cannot be atomized by the ultrasonic plate 501 in time, resulting in a low water mist conversion rate. When D < 0.1mm, the gap is too small, which is not conducive to the assembly of the ultrasonic plate 501 and the cooling component 2. In this embodiment, the gap between the ultrasonic plate 501 and the cooling component 2 is 0.4mm, which ensures both the water mist conversion rate and facilitates assembly.

[0066] In another embodiment, the ultrasonic plate 501 is in direct contact with the cooling element 2. This allows gaseous water in the air to condense on the surface of the ultrasonic plate 501 and transform into liquid water. This configuration enables the ultrasonic plate 501 to atomize the liquid water in a timely manner, forming a water mist.

[0067] The water particle generating device also includes an ultrasonic driving power supply and a high-voltage power supply. The ultrasonic generator 501 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic driving power supply, and the discharge electrode group 3 is electrically connected to the high-voltage power supply. A high voltage is applied to the discharge electrode group 3 to form a high-voltage corona discharge.

[0068] With this configuration, the ultrasonic drive power supply and high-voltage power supply are set up independently, allowing for independent power supply without interference.

[0069] The present application has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments; however, these embodiments are merely exemplary and illustrative. Various substitutions and modifications can be made to the present application based on these embodiments, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present application.
