This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 202010740211.4, filed on Jul. 28, 2019. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
This application relates to agricultural field, and more particularly to a spray nozzle and a sprayer.
A spray nozzle usually atomizes a liquid by directly ejecting it from the nozzle, during which full contact of the liquid with an inner wall of the nozzle is not allowed. This causes uneven distribution of the liquid in the spray nozzle and thus leads to unsatisfactory liquid atomization, failing to meet the needs of users.
Given the above, the present application aims to provide a spray nozzle and sprayer with better liquid atomization.
The technical solutions of the present application are described as follows.
The present application provides a spray nozzle, comprising:
a transmission component; and
a fan blade assembly;
characterized in that the fan blade assembly is connected to the transmission component; the fan blade assembly rotates with respect to the transmission component to create a vacuum inside the fan blade assembly, so that a liquid to be atomized under atmospheric pressure enters the fan blade assembly through the transmission component; and the fan blade assembly drives the liquid in the fan blade assembly to rotate so as to atomize the liquid and eject it from the fan blade assembly.
In some embodiments, the fan blade assembly comprises a fan blade and a water outlet; the water outlet is connected to the fan blade; the water outlet is hollow; the transmission component passes through the fan blade and extends into the water outlet; the water outlet is rotatable with the fan blade to rotate with respect to the transmission component, so as to create a vacuum inside the water outlet, and thus the liquid enters the water outlet through the transmission component under atmospheric pressure; and the water outlet is able to drive the liquid in the water outlet to rotate so as to atomize the liquid and eject it from the water outlet.
In some embodiments, the fan blade assembly further comprises a connecting pipe; both of the fan blade and the water outlet are sleeved on the connecting pipe; the transmission component is inserted into an end of the connecting pipe; the fan blade rotates with respect to the transmission component to drive the water outlet to rotate via the connecting pipe; and the liquid is able to enter the water outlet through the transmission component and the connecting pipe under atmospheric pressure.
In some embodiments, an inner diameter of the water outlet is flared toward an end of the water outlet away from the fan blade.
In some embodiments, there is a gap between the transmission component and an inner wall of the connecting pipe.
In some embodiments, at least one first opening is provided on a side wall of the connecting pipe; and the first opening is configured to communicate an interior of the connecting pipe with an interior of the water outlet; and the liquid is able to enter the water outlet through the transmission component, the connecting pipe and the first opening under atmospheric pressure.
In some embodiments, a plurality of first openings spaced apart are provided on the side wall of the connecting pipe.
In some embodiments, an inner wall of the water outlet is provided with a first thread; an outer wall of the connecting pipe is provided with a second thread; and the first thread and the second thread are joined together to fixedly connect the water outlet and the connecting pipe.
In some embodiments, the spray nozzle further comprises a bearing sleeved on the fan blade assembly; and the fan blade assembly is rotatably connected to the transmission component through the bearing.
The present application further provides a sprayer, comprising:
a sprayer body; and
the spray nozzle;
characterized in that the sprayer body is connected to the transmission component and is configured to accommodate the liquid to be atomized.
The technical solutions of the present application have the following advantages.
The fan blade assembly can rotate with respect to the transmission component to create a vacuum inside the fan blade assembly, so that the liquid in an outer container under atmospheric pressure can enter the fan blade assembly through the transmission component and then is atomized and ejected by rotating with the fan blade assembly. In the application, the liquid in the fan blade assembly rotates with the fan blade assembly, so that the liquid fully contacts with the inner wall of the fan blade assembly, which makes the liquid evenly distribute inside the spray nozzle, resulting in better liquid atomization.

The fan blade assembly 2 can rotate with respect to the transmission component 1 to create a vacuum inside the fan blade assembly 2, so that the liquid under atmospheric pressure can enter the fan blade assembly 2 through the transmission component 1 and then be atomized and ejected by rotating with the fan blade assembly 2. In the present application, the liquid in the fan blade assembly 2 rotates together with the fan blade assembly 2 so that the liquid is uniformly distributed inside the fan blade assembly 2, thereby obtaining better liquid atomization.
As shown in
The rotation of the fan blade 21 induces a force to blow the liquid sprayed from the water outlet 22, so that the liquid is further atomized and ejected farther.
The fan blade assembly 2 further includes a connecting pipe 23. Both of the fan blade 21 and the water outlet 22 are sleeved on the connecting pipe 23. The transmission component 1 is inserted into an end of the connecting pipe 23. The fan blade 21 can rotate with respect to the transmission component 1 to drive the water outlet 22 to rotate via the connecting pipe 23, and the liquid can enter the water outlet 22 through the transmission component 1 and the connecting pipe 23 under atmospheric pressure.

In an embodiment, a plurality of first openings 235 spaced apart are provided on the side wall of the connecting pipe 23, which allows the liquid in the second cavity 234 to enter the water outlet 22 in different directions, and thus the liquid is more dispersed in the water outlet 22, enhancing liquid atomization. In the present embodiment, four first openings 235 spaced apart are provided on the side wall of the connecting pipe 23, which allows the liquid in the second cavity 234 to enter the water outlet in different directions. It should be understood that, in other embodiments, the number of the first openings 235 may be less than three or more than five, and the specific number may be selected reasonably according to actual conditions.

An external driving device drives the fan blade assembly 2, so as to drive the water outlet 22 to rotate. The water outlet 22 rotates and thus creates a partial vacuum therein. Under atmospheric pressure, the liquid enters the water outlet 22 through the first cavity 13, the second cavity 234 and the first opening 235. The liquid in the water outlet 22 rotates with the water outlet 22 and then is atomized and ejected from the water outlet 22. The atomized liquid is subjected to fan blade-induced wind forces and thus is further atomized and ejected farther.
Provided herein is a sprayer, which is specifically described as follows.
As shown in
The sprayer body 200 can drive the fan blade assembly 2 to rotate with respect to the transmission component 1, so as to create a vacuum inside the fan blade assembly 2, whereby the liquid in the sprayer body 200 under atmospheric pressure can enter the fan blade assembly 2 through the transmission component 1. The fan blade assembly 2 can also drive the liquid in the fan blade assembly 2 to rotate so as to atomize the liquid and eject it from the fan blade assembly 2.
As shown in
The air blower 210 is rotatable with respect to the sprayer casing 220 to adjust an angle of the air blower 210 with respect to the sprayer casing 220, so as to adjust an angle of the spray nozzle 100 connected to the air blower 210 with respect to the sprayer casing 220. Specifically, by adjusting an angle of the spray nozzle 100 with respect to the sprayer casing 220, different spray angles can be achieved without moving the whole sprayer, widening the spray angle and facilitating the use of the sprayer.

The sprayer body 200 further includes a container lid 240 provided at the opening of the container 230. Specifically, after the liquid is injected into the container 230, the container lid 240 covers the opening of the container 230 to prevent splashing when the sprayer is in use and prevent contamination from entering the container 230.
The sprayer body 200 still further includes a power supply provided in the sprayer casing 220. The power supply is electrically connected to the air blower 210 for energy supply.
As shown in
The sprayer body 200 also includes wires, by which the power supply is electrically connected to the air blower 210.
The sprayer also includes a first tubular component. An end of the first tubular component is connected to the transmission component 1, and the other end of the first tubular component is inserted into the sprayer casing 220. The liquid in the sprayer casing 220 can enter the fan blade assembly 2 through the first tubular component and the transmission component 1.
The sprayer further includes a second tubular component. An end of the second tubular component is inserted into the air blower 210, and the other end of the second tubular component is inserted into the container 230. The second tubular component is used to pass the wind pressure generated by the air blower 210 into the container 230, so as to result in a greater pressure in the container 230. On the one hand, the water outlet 22 rotates with respect to the transmission component 1 to create a vacuum inside the water outlet 22, so that the liquid to be atomized under atmospheric pressure can enter the water outlet 22 through the transmission component 1. On the other hand, the second tubular component is used to pass the wind pressure generated by the air blower 210 into the container 230, so as to result in a greater pressure in the container 230, whereby the liquid in the container 230 flows into the fan blade assembly 2 more quickly.

The adjustment element 260 is provided with a second opening 261 configured to allow at least one of the first tubular component, the second tubular component and the wires to extend into the sprayer casing 220.
In the present embodiment, the second opening 261 includes a first sub-opening 2611, a second sub-opening 2612 and a third sub-opening 2613, which are spaced apart and provided on the adjustment element 260. The first tubular component passes through the first sub-opening 2611 to realize the connection between the transmission component 1 and the sprayer casing 220. The second tubular component passes through the second sub-opening 2612 to realize the connection between the air blower 210 and the sprayer casing 220. The wires pass through the third sub-opening 2613 to realize the electrical connection between the power supply and the air blower 210. Specifically, the first sub-opening 2611, the second sub-opening 2612 and the third sub-opening 2613 are used to prevent the mutual interference among the first tubular component, the second tubular component and the wires.
The container 230 is provided with two third openings 2301. The first tubular component passes through the first sub-opening 2611 and one of the two third openings 2301 to realize the connection between the transmission component 1 and the sprayer casing 220. The second tubular component passes through the second sub-opening 2612 and the other of the two third openings 2301 to realize the connection between the air blower 210 and the sprayer casing 220.

The elastic component 410 is compressed in an initial state and is able to provide the elastic force to engage the fixing block 420 with the adjustment element 260. The fixing block 420 is engaged with a first position of the adjustment element 260, so that the air blower 210 is positioned at a first angle with respect to the sprayer casing 220. When the angle of the spray nozzle 100 with respect to the sprayer casing 220 needs to be adjusted, an external force is applied to the spray nozzle 100 or the air blower 210 to drive the spray nozzle 100 and the air blower 210 to rotate together with respect to the sprayer casing 220. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic component 410 is offset by the external force, and the adjustment element 260 is separated from the fixing block 420 and rotates with respect to the fixing block 420. At this time, the elastic component 410 is further compressed. When the spray nozzle 100 and the air blower 210 are rotated to a required second angle with respect to the sprayer casing 220, the external force exerted on the spray nozzle 100 or the air blower 210 is removed. At this time, the elastic component 410 is elastically reset. The fixing block 420 is engaged with a second position of the adjustment element 260 under the elastic force of the elastic component 410, thereby positioning the spray nozzle 100 and the air blower 210 at the second position with respect to the sprayer casing 220.
It should be noted that, one end of the elastic component 410 is fixedly connected to the sprayer casing 220, and the other end of the elastic component 410 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 420. Therefore, when the adjustment element 260 rotates with respect to the fixing block 420, the fixing block 420 does not follow the rotation of the adjustment element 260.

The valve switch 800 is turned on to make the first tubular component communicated. The switch button 700 is turned on to start the air blower 210. The air blower 210 can drive the fan blade assembly 2 to rotate to create a vacuum inside the fan blade assembly 2. The liquid in the container 230 can enter the fan blade assembly 2 through the first tubular component under atmospheric pressure. The liquid in the fan blade assembly 2 follows the fan blade assembly 2 to rotate so as to atomize the liquid and eject it from the fan blade assembly 2. The air blower 210 further atomizes the liquid sprayed from the fan blade assembly 2 and makes the atomized liquid be ejected farther. When the sprayer is in use, the spray nozzle 100 or the air blower 210 is rotated as needed, so that the spray nozzle 100 and the air blower 210 that are connected can rotate together with respect to the sprayer casing 220, thereby adjusting the angle of the spray nozzle 100 relative to the sprayer casing 220. When the sprayer is not needed, the switch button 700 is turned off, and the air blower 210 stops working. The valve switch 800 is rotated to make the first tubular member disconnected.
The above are merely the preferred embodiments of the present application, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any replacements based on the description and the accompanying drawings without departing from the spirit of the invention shall fall within the scope as defined by the appended claims.
