The present application is the US national stage of PCT/CN2016/074081 filed on Feb. 19, 2016, which claims the priority of the Chinese patent application No. 2015205764505 filed on Aug. 3, 2015, which applications are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a nebulizer, particularly relates to a portable ultrafine nebulizer.
Nebulizer has been widely applied in manufacturing and life, for example, in the fields of vector-control, public health industry, sanitation and hygiene, agriculture, medical science and the like, normally, the nebulizer is adopted for spraying liquid medicine, such that the sprayed liquid medicine has atomizing effect. Meanwhile, the smaller the diameter of the fog particles sprayed by the nebulizer is, the better the atomizing effect is.
A Chinese patent application, with publication No. CN1219351A, has disclosed a high-efficiency electrical interlocking pesticide ultrafine nebulizer. The ultrafine nebulizer has a case, a chemical bottle, a chemical tube, an operating lever, as well as a gas-liquid-electricity combined pipeline, which is connected between the case and a operating handle; the front end of the handle is provided with a gas-liquid-electricity control switch, an inlet of the switch is connected to a pneumatic tube, the chemical pipe, and a wire, which are respectively connected to a gas tank in the case, the chemical bottle and a battery box; an outlet of the gas-liquid-electricity combined pipeline is provided with a chemical output tube and a wire-connected ultrafine atomizer head; the gas tank is connected with a manual aspirated type bladder; the ultrafine atomizer head is composed of a micro-motor, a motor base, a annular sprayer and a ultrafine atomizer plate, the ultrafine atomizer plate features a conical ridge, on which uniform dense brush-like fluffs are provided.
Regarding to the above ultrafine nebulizer in the prior art, the atomization principle thereof is that: the liquid from the chemical output tube is sprayed to the ridge of the ultrafine atomizer plate through several small nozzle orifices of the annular sprayer, the micro-motor drives the ultrafine atomizer plate to rapidly rotate to generate high strength centrifugal force, by which the liquid sprayed by the cyclic sprayer is uniformly crushed and thrown out, such that diffused and free ultrafine fog particles are formed in the ambient air. Since only one stage of atomization is adopted, i.e., the micro-motor is employed to drive the ultrafine atomizer plate to rapidly rotate to generate high strength centrifugal force, by which the liquid sprayed by the cyclic sprayer is uniformly crushed and thrown out, so that the sprayed fog particles has relative large diameter, and the atomizing effect thereof is still poor.
Besides, there are two types of power supply portable ultrafine nebulizers in the market:
The first is driven by an active power (AC, non-battery) motor. The main disadvantage thereof is that: it may affect other electrical equipments along the same power line; also, the power supply has to pass through the active power (e.g., normally a power socket) and a power wire, with the result that the nebulizer may be affected by the limitation of the location of the active power (e.g., power socket), the length of the power wire, and the passed region or objects of the power wire. Therefore, the application range thereof is subject to many limitations.
The second is driven by a battery (i.e., DC). The main disadvantage thereof is that: since the battery power is proportional to the weight of the battery, as for light battery, the service time is short, and no sufficiently large power is supplied for air turbines to generate high air speed/air pressure for atomizing liquid; in case that it is guarantee to have a sufficiently large power, the battery and the air turbine will be relative large and heavy, which is inconvenience for carrying.
