The invention relates to a low-frequency ultrasonic atomization device, belonging to the field of agricultural engineering atomization cultivation.
Ultrasonic atomizers are widely used in agricultural engineering due to their fine and uniform droplet size. At present, in the technical field of ultrasonic atomization, there are mainly two methods to generate power ultrasound: one is to use electroacoustic transducer to generate ultrasound, and the other is to use fluid as power to generate ultrasound. The two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The electro-acoustic transducer is used to atomize the droplets produced by the nozzle. The energy consumption is small. The droplet size changes with the design frequency of the piezoelectric vibrator. The higher the frequency, the smaller the droplet size. The disadvantage is that the smaller the amount of atomization, the larger the amount of atomization. However, the droplet size is not uniform. To obtain fine droplets, a high-power air compressor is required to provide compressed gas with high pressure and large flow rate. According to the invention, the piezoelectric ultrasonic atomization technology and the two-phase flow mechanics technology are combined to design a low-frequency ultrasonic atomization device which not only can generate relatively fine fog droplets but also has relatively large atomization quantity and relatively large range of spray effects.
The existing ultrasonic atomizing nozzle has the following disadvantages:
1. The atomization amount is small. Because the low-frequency ultrasonic atomizing device is equipped with a Laval valve core, high-speed air flow can be formed at the outlet, and large atomizing quantity can be generated in a short time.
2. The droplet diameter is large. Because the low-frequency ultrasonic atomizing device adopts a secondary atomizing cavity structure, droplets atomized by mixing with sonic gas flow directly or after rebounding for many times hit the atomizing end face of the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle to carry out secondary atomization, so that finally atomized droplets have smaller particle sizes.
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a low-frequency ultrasonic atomization device with large atomization amount, which combines the advantages of ultrasonic atomization technology and two-phase flow mechanics technology to realize multiple atomization of fog droplets, thereby improving the atomization amount of a nozzle, reducing the average particle diameter of the fog droplets and making the particle diameter of the fog droplets more uniform.

The invention has the advantages that:
1. Before being subjected to ultrasonic atomization, fog droplets undergo first atomization under the blow and collision of high momentum of supersonic gas, then undergo second atomization under the action of ultrasonic vibration, and finally realize multi-stage atomization through repeated rebound atomization in a secondary atomization cavity. However, the atomization object of the traditional piezoelectric ultrasonic atomizer is a liquid film, so the atomization amount of the invention is larger and the fog drops are finer than that of the traditional piezoelectric ultrasonic atomizer.
2. As a secondary atomizing cavity is added at the gas-liquid outlet of the gas-liquid valve body, the droplets of the gas-liquid mixture atomized for the first time are further cracked and reduced under the action of high-speed airflow in the secondary atomizing cavity, so that the droplets are more uniform.
