Specifically, the air flow generated by the fan assembly 3 propels the first blade 22 to rotate, and the first blade 22 drives the spray nozzle 23 to rotate, so that a vacuum environment is formed inside the spray nozzle 23, and the liquid from the housing assembly 1 enters the spray nozzle 23 to be atomized and sprayed under the action of atmospheric pressure.
The rotation of the first blade 22 can generate an air flow which blows the liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle 23, which not only can further improve the atomization effect of the liquid, but also can further increase the spraying distance of the atomized liquid.
The air flow generated by the fan assembly 3 can drive the liquid sprayed by the spray nozzle 23 to move outward, which not only can further improve the atomization effect of the liquid, but also can further increase the spraying distance of the atomized liquid.
The spray nozzle assembly 2 further includes a connecting pipe 24 which is inserted in the connector 21. The connecting pipe 24 passes through the first blade 22 and extends into the spray nozzle 23. The liquid in the second housing 12 passes the connecting pipe 24 and enters the spray nozzle 23 through a liquid delivery assembly 4.
The spray nozzle assembly 2 further includes a rotation shaft 25. The first blade 22 and the spray nozzle 23 are arranged on the rotation shaft 25. The rotation shaft 25 is rotatably arranged on the connector 21, and the connecting pipe 24 passes through the first blade 22 and extends into the rotation shaft 25. The fan assembly 3 drives the first blade 22 to rotate, and the first blade 22 drives the rotation shaft 25 to rotate. The rotation shaft 25 drives the spray nozzle 23 to rotate, so that the spray nozzle 23 rotates with respect to the connecting pipe 24. The liquid in the second housing 12 passes through the connecting pipe 24 and rotation shaft 25 in turn and enters the spray nozzle 23 through the liquid delivery assembly 4.
The connecting pipe 24 has a first cavity 241, and the rotation shaft 25 has a second cavity 251. The first cavity 241 communicates with the second cavity 251, and the second cavity 251 communicates with an interior of the spray nozzle 23. The liquid enters the spray nozzle 23 through the first cavity 241 and the second cavity 251. Specifically, the first cavity 241 may have a cylindrical shape. In the case that the first cavity 241 is cylindrical in shape, the liquid flows faster through the first cavity 241, and the load applied in the first cavity 241 is uniformly distributed. The second cavity 251 may have a cylindrical shape. In the case that the second cavity 251 is cylindrical in shape, the liquid flows faster through the second cavity 251, and the load applied in the second cavity 251 is uniformly distributed.
A side wall of the rotation shaft 25 is provided with an opening 252 which is configured to allow the second cavity 251 to communicate with the interior of the spray nozzle 23. The liquid enters the spray nozzle 23 through the first cavity 241, the second cavity 251 and the opening 252. Specifically, the opening 252 may be circular.
In an embodiment, a plurality of openings 252 spaced apart is arranged on a side wall of the rotation shaft 25. The openings 252 allow the liquid in the second cavity 251 of the rotation shaft 25 to enter the interior of the spray nozzle 23 from different directions, so that the liquid can be well dispersed in the spray nozzle 23, thereby improving the atomization effect of the liquid. In this embodiment, the number of the openings 252 is four. In some embodiments, the number of the openings 252 are reasonably selected according to the actual situation.
The spray nozzle 23 is flared towards one end of the spray nozzle 23 away from the first blade 22, so that the liquid entering the spray nozzle 23 can be diffused outward better and distributed uniformly, thereby improving the atomization effect of the liquid. In this embodiment, the spray nozzle 23 is in a flared shape. In other embodiments, the spray nozzle 23 is not limited to the flared shape, and the specific shape of the spray nozzle 23 can be reasonably designed according to the actual situation.
The spray nozzle assembly 2 further includes a bearing 26 which is arranged on the rotation shaft 25. The bearing 26 of the spray nozzle assembly is configured to support the rotation shaft 25 that is rotatably connected to the connector 21 through the bearing 26 of the spray nozzle assembly.
The spray nozzle assembly 2 further includes a bearing locating part 27 which is sheathed on the bearing 26 of the spray nozzle assembly. The bearing locating part 27 is configured to locate the bearing 26 of the spray nozzle assembly, and the bearing locating part 27 is connected to the connector 21. The rotation shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the connector 21 through the bearing 26 of the spray nozzle assembly and the bearing locating part 27. The fan assembly 3 drives the first blade 22 to rotate, and the first blade 22 drives the rotation shaft 25 to rotate, and the rotation shaft 25 drives the spray nozzle 23 to rotate. The rotation shaft 25 rotates with respect to the connector 21 through the bearing 26 of the spray nozzle assembly and the bearing locating part 27, so that the spray nozzle 23 rotates with respect to the connecting pipe 24.
The spray nozzle assembly 2 further includes a fixture 28, and the fixture 28 passes through the connector 21 and the bearing locating part 27, so that the bearing locating part 27 and the connector 21 are fixedly connected. A plurality of fixtures 28 are provided, and the connector 21 and the bearing locating part 27 are fixedly connected through the fixtures 28, and the fixtures 28 can realize the reliable connection of the bearing locating part 27 and the connector 21. In this embodiment, three fixtures 28 are provided. In other embodiments, the specific number of the fixtures 28 can be reasonably selected according to the actual situation.

The fan assembly 3 further includes a guide sleeve 33 which is connected to an end of the motor 31 facing the spray nozzle assembly 2, and is configured to guide the air flow generated by the second blade 32, so that the air flow is propelled to flow towards the spray nozzle assembly 2. Since the guide sleeve 33 can guide the airflow to flow towards the spray nozzle assembly 2, the airflow will converge after passing through the guide sleeve 33, thereby increasing the speed of the airflow to make the atomized liquid spray farther.
The guide sleeve 33 is flared towards one end of the guide sleeve 33 away from the spray nozzle assembly 2. After an airflow passes through the guide sleeve 33, the airflow converges from one end of the guide sleeve 33 away from the spray nozzle assembly 2 to the other end of the guide sleeve 33 close to the spray nozzle assembly 2, thereby increasing the speed of the airflow at the end of the guide sleeve 33 away from the nozzle assembly 2, so that the atomized liquid can be sprayed further.
The fan assembly 3 further includes a first connector 34. The second blade 32 and the motor 31 are connected through the first connector 34. The motor 31 drives the first connector 34 to rotate, so that the first connector 34 drives the second blade 32 to rotate. When the first connector 34 is damaged, the first connecting component can be replaced, thereby reducing the replacement cost of the fan assembly 3. In this embodiment, the first connector 34 is arranged on a drive shaft 311 of the motor 31, and the second blade 32 is arranged on the first connector 34.
The fan assembly 3 further includes a guide cover 35 which is arranged on the second blade 32 and is configured to guide the gas entering from the air inlet 114, so that the gas flows towards the second blade 32. Since the guide cover 35 can guide the gas to flow towards the second blade 32, the air flow will diffuse to the second blade 32 after passing the guide cover 33, thereby increasing the air intake volume of the second blade 32, so that the atomized liquid is sprayed further.
The guide cover 35 faces the second blade 32. When the gas passes the guide cover 35, the gas diffuses at an end of the guide sleeve 33 close to the second blade 32, thereby increasing the intake amount of the gas, so that the atomized liquid can be sprayed further.
The fan assembly 3 further includes a support group 36 which is configured to support the motor 31, and the support group 36 is connected to an inner wall of the first housing 11.
The support group 36 includes a first support 361 and a second support 362. The motor 31 is respectively connected to the first support 361 and the second support 362. The drive shaft 311 of the motor 31 passes through the first support 361 and the second support 362, and is connected to the second blade 32.
The fan assembly 3 further includes a bearing set 37 which is configured to support the drive shaft 311 of the motor 31.
The bearing set 37 of the fan assembly includes a first bearing 371 and a second bearing 372. The first bearing 371 is arranged at the first support 361, and the second bearing 372 is arranged at the second support 362. The first bearing 371 and the second bearing 372 are respectively arranged on two ends of the drive shaft 311 of the motor 31.
The fan assembly 3 further includes a limit part 38 which is arranged on the drive shaft 311 of the motor 31, and is located between the second blade 32 and the bearing 37 of the fan assembly to restrict the bearing 37 of the fan assembly from moving with respect to the second blade 32. In this embodiment, the limit part 38 is located between the first connecting 34 and the second bearing 372. The first connecting 34 abuts the second bearing 372 through the limit part 38, so as to limit the second bearing 372 to move with respect to the second blade 32, and keep the second bearing 372 at the preset position all the time, resulting in the improvement of the reliability of the second bearing 372. In this embodiment, the limit part 38 is a spring. In other embodiments, the limit part 38 is not limited to a spring, and can be determined according to the actual situation.

As shown in
The air pipe assembly 6 includes a first air pipe 62 and a second air pipe 63 which is connected to the first air pipe 62. The first air pipe 62 has a first sub-passage 621, and the second air pipe 63 has a second sub-passage 631. The air passage 61 is formed by the first sub-passage 621 and the second sub-passage 631. The spray nozzle assembly 2 is arranged in the first sub-passage 621, and the fan assembly 3 is arranged in the second sub-passage 631. The first air pipe 62 and the second air pipe 63 are separately arranged which can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the air pipe assembly 6, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the sprayer 10. In this embodiment, the air pipe assembly 6 further includes a third air pipe 64 which is respectively connected to the first air pipe 62 and the second air pipe 63. The third air pipe 64 has a third sub-passage 641, and the first sub-passage 621, the second sub-passage 631 and the third sub-passage 641 form the air passage 61.
The second air pipe 63 further has a duct 632 which is located in the second sub-passage 631 and is configured to restrict the air flow generated by the fan 31. The motor 31 is arranged in the duct 632. The duct 632 restricts the air flow generated by the motor 31 during operation (the rotor of the motor 31 rotates at a high speed) to prevent the air flow generated by the motor 31 from interfering with the air flow generated by the second blade 32. This improves the stability of the output air flow of the second blade 32, and the atomized liquid can be sprayed farther.
The second air pipe 63 includes a flow deflector 633 which is arranged on an outer wall of the duct 632, and the flow deflector 633 is configured to guide the airflow generated by the second blade 32, so that the airflow flows towards the spray nozzle assembly 2. Since the guide sheet 633 can guide the airflow towards the spray nozzle assembly 2, the airflow will converge after passing through the flow deflector 633, thereby increasing the speed of the airflow, so that the atomized liquid can be sprayed farther.
In this embodiment, the flow deflector 633 is curved, and the bending direction of the flow deflector 633 is the same as the direction of the air flow blown by the second blade 32. When the airflow passes through the flow deflector 633, the airflow converges together along the outer surface of the flow deflector 633, thereby increasing the speed of the airflow, and the atomized liquid can be sprayed farther.
