AI summary

An electrostatic generation device for an atomizer solves the problem of poor spraying effect of the atomizer. When the electrostatic generation device is used, the fan blows air through the water outlet pipe, and part of the airflow passes through the pressure tube into the water tank, continuously increasing the air pressure inside the water tank. The greater pressure forces the liquid inside the water tank into the inlet pipe and along the inlet pipe into the guide tube, spraying out from the guide tube in the direction away from the fan through the water outlet pipe. The liquid is electrified by the charged metal valve core, and the electrostatically charged liquid is sprayed out through the air outlet, forming electrostatically charged atomized particles. The spray can easily adhere to the object being sprayed, resulting in a higher spraying efficiency.
