To further explain the technical means used to achieve the intended inventive objective and the effects thereof in the present invention, the specific implementations, structures, features and effects of the present invention will be described below in detail by preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
This embodiment provides a method for increasing the quantity of electric charges in a chemical solution of an electrostatic sprayer, which uses a liquid storage cavity of the electrostatic sprayer and an electrostatic module for generating static electricity, wherein 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.
During the implementation of the above-described method, this embodiment provides a device for increasing the quantity of electric charges in a chemical solution of an electrostatic sprayer, comprising a shell 1, a liquid storage cavity 2, an electrostatic module 3 and a battery 4. Here, the liquid storage cavity 2 is the liquid storage camber 2 in the above-described method. As shown in
By the above design, the insulating partition portion 5 can divide the chemical solution in the liquid storage cavity 2 into a charging cavity 6 and a chemical solution supply cavity 7, and the charging cavity 6 is not communicated with the chemical solution supply cavity 7, so that originally charging the whole liquid storage cavity 2 is changed into charging only the charging cavity 6. Thus, the charging range is reduced, and the quantity of electric charges in the chemical solution in the charging cavity 6 is increased. The pump 21 can directly pump the chemical solution from the charging cavity through the water pipe 8. The ground strap 9 is arranged on the shell 1 and connected to the second electrode 12, so it is convenient for grounding through the connection between a human body and the ground when it is held. When in use, a switch 23 is pushed down, the battery 4 supplies power to the electrostatic generator 10 and the pump 21, and the electrostatic generator 10 charges the charging cavity 6 in the liquid storage cavity 2 through the first electrode 11, so that the chemical solution in the charging cavity 6 is electrically charged. The pump 21 pumps the electrically charged chemical solution in the charging cavity 6 through the water pipe 8, and delivers the electrically charged chemical solution to the nozzle 22 through a pipe, so that the electrically charged chemical solution is sprayed from the nozzle 22. The sprayed object is grounded, and a loop is formed by using the human body and the ground strap 9, so that the electrically charged chemical solution is absorbed onto the sprayed object. After the electrically charged chemical solution in the charging cavity 6 is pumped out, the insulating partition portion 5 is opened, and the chemical solution in the chemical solution supply cavity 7 is supplied to the charging cavity 6 After the chemical solution in the charging cavity 6 has been supplied, the insulating partition portion 5 is closed to realize the insulation between the charging cavity 6 and the chemical solution supply cavity 7 and prevent charges from entering the chemical solution in the chemical solution supply cavity 7, so that the quantity of electric charges in the chemical solution in the charging cavity 6 is increased.
In this embodiment, the “electrostatic output electrode” in the above-described method is the first electrode 11, and the second electrode 12 is a connection electrode of the ground output terminal on the electrostatic generator 10. In this embodiment, the electrostatic generator is an electrostatic module having a model number of 1000 V in the commercially-available products, and the liquid storage cavity 2 has a volume of 2 L. In this embodiment, charging cavities in 100 ml, 200 ml, 300 ml, 400 ml and 500 ml were separated from the liquid storage cavity 2 respectively and then filled with the chemical solution, and the chemical solution in these charging cavities and 2 L of the chemical solution that was not isolated were charged for comparison. The charging amount was compared by using the amount of the chemical solution absorbed by the sprayed object. The sprayed object was a hollow metal net ball having a mesh density of 100, and a water absorbing material was arranged in the hollow body of the hollow metal net ball. Six hollow metal net balls provided with the water absorbing material were suspended on the suspended weighing scales, and each hollow metal net ball provided with the water absorbing material has an initial weight of 250 g and is communicated with the grounding wire. The distance from the nozzle of each electrostatic sprayer having a charging cavity with a different capacity to the center of the hollow metal net ball was 20 cm, and the chemical solution in the charging cavity 6 was charged for 5 minutes and then sprayed. The improvement of the absorption effect was proved by using the amount of the chemical solution absorbed by the hollow metal net ball after spraying. After tests, the results are shown in the following table:
It can be known from the detection that, if the chemical solution is charged by an electrostatic module with the same power, the concentration of charges in the chemical solution can be increased by decreasing the amount of the electrically charged chemical solution, so that the absorption amount of the chemical solution is increased. In this embodiment, when 100 ml of the chemical solution was charged by a 1000 V commercially-available electrostatic module, in the case of 20 cm away from the sprayed object, the absorption rate of the chemical solution reached 92.6%; however, the absorption rate of the chemical solution was only 52.2% in the case where 2 L of the chemical solution was charged.
It can be known from the implementation data that, by insulated dividing the original liquid storage cavity that is to be charged as a whole into a charging cavity for applying charges and a chemical solution supply cavity for supplying the chemical solution, the amount of the chemical solution to be charged in unit time in the charging cavity is decreased, and the quantity of electric charges of the chemical solution in the charging cavity is increased, so that the absorption effect of the electrically charged chemical solution after sprayed is improved and the bactericidal effect of the chemical solution is improved. Moreover, after the chemical solution in the charging cavity has been used, the chemical solution can be supplied from the chemical solution supply cavity, and the total amount of the carried chemical solution remains unchanged. Thus, without changing the total amount of the chemical solution, the quantity of electric charges in the chemical solution for spraying is increased, the quantity of electric charges in the sprayed chemical solution is thus increased, and the absorption effect is greatly improved.
This embodiment provides a device for increasing the quantity of electric charges in a chemical solution of an electrostatic sprayer. To facilitate the chemical solution in the chemical solution supply cavity 7 to enter the charging cavity 6, as shown in
To make the connection between the first electrode 11 and the charging cavity 6 more reliable, a buckle 17 fixed to the shell 1 was arranged on the liquid storage cavity 2; a conductive piece 18 was arranged in the buckle 17; the conductive piece 18 was connected to the charging cavity 6 in the liquid storage cavity 2; a contact piece 19 in contact with the conductive piece 18 was arranged on the shell 1; and, the contact piece 19 was connected to the first electrode 11.
To make the contact between the conductive piece 18 and the contact piece 19 firmer, a spring 20 was arranged in rear of the contact piece 19.
By the above design, the knob 13 was convenient to rotate the baffle 15, and it was convenient for the baffle 15 to open or close the liquid filter holes 16 on the liquid filter plate 14. When in use, the knob 13 was rotated to move the baffle 15 away from the liquid filter plate 14, so that the liquid filter holes 16 were not blocked by the baffle 15, and the chemical solution can flow from the chemical solution supply cavity 7 to the charging cavity 6 through the liquid filter holes 16. Moreover, large particle impurities can be removed from the chemical solution when passing through the liquid filter holes 16, thereby avoiding pipe blockage. A conductive piece 18 was arranged in the buckle 17 of the liquid storage cavity 2, a contact piece 19 connected to the first electrode 11 was arranged in the shell 1, and the contact piece 18 comes into contact with the contact piece 19 after the liquid storage cavity 2 was fixed, so that the first electrode 11 was communicated with the charging cavity 6 in the liquid storage cavity 2. After the liquid storage cavity 2 was detached, the conductive piece 18 was separated from the contact piece 19, and the first electrode 11 was not communicated with the charging cavity 6 in the liquid storage cavity 2. A spring 20 was arranged in rear of the contact piece 19, so the spring 20 can realize closer contact between the contact piece 19 and the conductive piece 18, so that the fixation becomes firmer.
