1Quantity of substance

If the chemical solution is sprayed directly without charging, then the device structure is simple, but the electric charge content is low and adsorption effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid storage cavity is divided into two separate cavities: a charging cavity for accumulating electric charges and a chemical solution supply cavity for storing the solution. This segmentation allows the charging mechanism to concentrate charges in a small volume while the solution supply cavity maintains adequate solution storage capacity, thereby increasing the electric charge content per unit volume of sprayed solution without requiring a completely redesigned complex structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The electrostatic generator acts as an intermediary device between the power source and the chemical solution. It generates and accumulates electric charges in the charging cavity, which then transfer to the chemical solution during spraying. This intermediary charging mechanism enables high charge content without directly complicating the solution delivery path

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the liquid storage cavity into a charging cavity and a chemical solution supply cavity, the patent enables the charging cavity to be small and highly concentrated with electric charges, while the solution supply cavity can be optimally sized for solution storage. This segmentation resolves the conflict between charge density and solution storage capacity by allowing each cavity to be optimized for its specific function

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The charging cavity is designed with local high charge concentration properties, while the solution supply cavity maintains its solution storage function. This local quality differentiation allows the charged solution to achieve high charge density when transferred from the compact charging cavity, without requiring the entire liquid storage system to be enlarged or diluted

AI summary

The present invention relates to a method and device for increasing the quantity of electric charges in a chemical solution of an electrostatic sprayer. The method uses a liquid storage cavity of the electrostatic sprayer and an electrostatic module for generating static electricity. The liquid storage cavity is divided into a charging cavity and a chemical solution supply cavity. The charging cavity is isolated from the chemical solution supply cavity. An electrostatic output electrode of the electrostatic module applies static electricity to a chemical solution in the charging cavity in a static state so that the chemical solution carries a high content of electric charges. After the chemical solution carried with a high content of electric charges is sprayed out, the chemical solution in the chemical solution supply cavity is supplied into the charging cavity, so that the sprayed chemical solution is allowed to carry a high content of electric charges by charging static electricity to a small amount of the chemical solution in a stepped manner. In the method and device for increasing the quantity of electric charges in a chemical is solution of an electrostatic sprayer provided by the present invention, without changing the capacity, the quantity of electric charges in a part of the chemical solution in the liquid storage cavity is increased, the quantity of electric charges in the sprayed chemical solution is thus increased, and the absorption effect of the chemical solution is improved.
