Description

Ultrasonic atomization structure and ultrasonic atomization equipment adopting same

Background
Many occasions in daily life require liquid to be dispersed into tiny droplets or aerosols for use, such as disinfection, odor removal, air humidification, and the like. Atomizing or vaporizing the liquid tends to facilitate rapid and uniform diffusion of the liquid. Medical nebulizers typically comprise a heating unit or a gas compression pump, the former of which causes drug decomposition due to high temperatures; the latter is not only noisy, but also often contaminates the drug due to direct contact of the gas and liquid.
In order to meet the special requirements for delivering drugs via the respiratory tract, manufacturers have developed in recent years ultrasonic nebulization techniques, i.e. microporous nebulized sheets adhered to piezoelectric ceramic sheets by vibration. Briefly, based on this technique, a microporous atomizer plate in direct contact with a liquid is vibrated at ultrasonic frequencies together with a piezoelectric ceramic plate that is excited, and then the liquid is pumped to the surface of the atomizer plate and forms a thin film. The liquid film absorbs vibrational energy from the atomizing sheet and forms a standing wave with a direction of vibration perpendicular to the surface of the atomizing sheet. When the amplitude at a given frequency increases, the standing wave becomes unstable, eventually collapsing at a critical point. The minute liquid droplets are ejected vertically from the surface of the liquid film.
Most of the ultrasonic atomizing devices on the market at present are designed to directly arrange an ultrasonic atomizing unit in a liquid, and the design can only be used for atomizing water-based or low-viscosity liquid and cannot be used for atomizing high-viscosity liquid. Because the viscous liquid film can block micropores on the atomizing sheet, atomizing is blocked, and finally the temperature of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is increased or even damaged.

The upper surface of the liquid-absorbing medium 15 is attached to the lower surface of the atomizing unit.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the atomizing unit includes a microporous atomizing sheet 19 and a piezoelectric ceramic sheet 16 disposed on the microporous atomizing sheet 19. A through hole is formed in the middle of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 16, and a small atomizing through hole 1901 is provided in the microporous atomizing sheet 19 below the through hole of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 16. The microporous atomizer plate 19 may be made of metal, ceramic or even plastic, and the choice of material depends on whether it has sufficient strength under high frequency vibration, and in this embodiment, the microporous atomizer plate 19 is made of metal. The atomizing via 1901 may be fabricated by a variety of methods, preferably laser or chemical or electrolytic etching. The number of the atomizing holes 1901 may range from one to several thousands, the thickness of the microporous atomizing sheet 19 is 20 micrometers to 400 micrometers, the pore diameter of the atomizing holes 1901 is 1 micrometer to 300 micrometers, in the present embodiment, the thickness of the microporous atomizing sheet 19 is 100 micrometers, the number of the atomizing holes 1901 is 20, and the pore diameter of the atomizing holes 1901 is 10 micrometers. Grooves 1501 are provided in the liquid absorbent medium 15 below the atomizing through holes 1901 of the microporous atomizing sheet 19. The grooves 1501 can store liquid transferred from the lower portion of the liquid-absorbing medium 15 to provide an appropriate amount of liquid supply to the atomizing unit. The atomizing unit is connected to an external ultrasonic oscillating circuit through a first wire 1701 and a second wire 1702.

The pressing plate 18 is provided with a screw through hole 24, the bracket 14 is provided with a screw fixing hole 23, and the screw 25 penetrates through the screw through hole 24 and is screwed with the screw fixing hole 23, so that the pressing plate 18 and the bracket 14 are fixed.
As shown in fig. 1, a backflow gap 21 is left between the pressing plate 18 and the inner wall of the mist guide pipe 20, and larger droplets sprayed onto the mist guide pipe 20 from the atomizing unit are condensed and liquefied on the mist guide pipe 20 and flow onto the backflow gap 21 along the pipe wall of the mist guide pipe 20, and flow back into the liquid receiving tank 12 through the backflow gap 21.
Description of the workflow:
when the liquid storage groove 2 is not filled in the liquid storage channel 6, the upper part of the top plug 3 is attached to the inner wall of the bottom of the liquid storage groove 2 under the action of the elastic force of the spring 9, so that the discharge hole 4 is plugged, and the communication relation between the liquid storage groove 2 and the liquid storage channel 6 is broken. At this time, the upper lid 1 is opened, and the liquid is added to the liquid reservoir 2. After the addition, the upper cover 1 is screwed.
The liquid storage tank 2 is arranged in the liquid storage channel 6, the spring 9 is compressed to enable the discharge hole 4 to be exposed, liquid in the liquid storage tank 2 flows into the liquid storage channel 6 along the discharge hole 4, meanwhile, outside air enters the liquid storage channel 6 through the air pressure balance port 7, then enters the liquid storage tank 2 through the air inlet notch 28, the liquid storage tank outlet 10 and the discharge hole 4, air pressure balance between the inside of the liquid storage tank 2 and the liquid storage channel 6 is achieved, and the liquid in the liquid storage tank 2 can continuously flow into the liquid storage channel 6. When the liquid level in the reservoir 6 rises above the reservoir outlet 10, ambient air cannot enter the reservoir 2 through the reservoir outlet 10, and the liquid in the reservoir 2 stops flowing into the reservoir 6. At this time, the liquid level of the whole ultrasonic atomization device is kept motionless, when an external ultrasonic oscillation circuit starts to work, the liquid level in the liquid receiving tank 12 is reduced, the liquid level in the liquid storage channel 6 is also reduced due to the communication effect of the guide channel 11, when the liquid level in the liquid storage channel 6 is reduced to the highest position of the liquid storage channel outlet 10 to expose the liquid level, air can enter the liquid storage tank 2 in the mode described above, air pressure balance is further realized, and the liquid in the liquid storage tank 2 can flow into the liquid storage channel 6 until the liquid level in the liquid storage channel 6 is higher than the liquid storage channel outlet 10 again. So reciprocating, just realized reservoir 2 according to the user with the function of liquid demand automatic supply liquid to stock solution canal 6, simple structure moreover, whole automatic supply does not need the external power or other effort of giving.
Due to the communication of the canal 11, the liquid level of the liquid storage canal 6 and the liquid receiving groove 12 will be the same. The liquid-absorbent medium 15 is a material that can absorb and store liquid, such as an ink-jet printed foam or a porous fibrous material. The bottom of the liquid-absorbing medium 15 absorbs the liquid in the liquid-receiving tank 12 and transfers the absorbed liquid to the upper portion of the liquid-absorbing medium 15. The atomizing unit acquires liquid through the grooves 1501 of the liquid absorbing medium 15, atomizes the liquid into fine droplets by the ultrasonic oscillation circuit, and sprays the droplets into the mist guide pipe 20. Some of the tiny droplets from the atomizing unit are sprayed outwards through the small opening end 13 of the mist guide tube 20, and the other portion of the tiny droplets are sprayed on the inner wall of the mist guide tube 20, are liquefied and accumulated and then slide down along the inner wall of the mist guide tube 20, flow back into the liquid receiving tank 12 through the backflow gap 21 between the pressing plate 18 and the mist guide tube 20, and are absorbed again by the liquid absorbing medium 15.
The microporous atomizer plate 19 in this embodiment is in contact with the liquid-absorbing medium 15, rather than in direct contact with the liquid being atomized. When the lower surface of the microporous atomizing sheet 19 is in contact with the adsorption medium in a saturated state, the surface of the microporous atomizing sheet 19 in contact with the liquid absorbing medium 15 is wetted with the liquid, and then the liquid passes through the micropores of the microporous atomizing sheet 19 due to capillary effect, permeates from the lower surface to the upper surface, and forms a liquid film on the upper surface. After excitation by an external ultrasonic oscillating circuit, the microporous atomizing sheet 19 vibrates at a specific frequency and transmits vibration energy to the liquid film, thereby forming a standing wave. When the amplitude of the standing wave reaches a critical value, droplets are ejected from the liquid film in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the microporous atomizer plate 19. After atomization occurs, liquid is continuously transported from the bottom to the top of the wicking medium 15 and eventually permeates to the upper surface of the microporous atomizer plate 19. As the liquid is consumed, the liquid level in the liquid receiver 12 and the liquid storage channel 6 simultaneously drops. The liquid-absorbing medium 15 may also act as an efficient cooling system for dissipating the heat generated by the atomizing unit.
In this embodiment, grooves 1501 are provided in the wicking medium 15 below the microporous region of microporous atomizing sheet 19 so that the atomizer can be adapted for high viscosity liquids. When atomizing a high-viscosity liquid using a conventional ultrasonic atomizer, the micropores on the microporous atomizing sheet 19 are often clogged with a thick liquid film because the replenishment rate of the liquid is greater than the atomization rate thereof. On the other hand, this phenomenon also causes the atomizing unit to overheat. In this embodiment, grooves 1501 on the wicking medium 15 may be used to control the rate of liquid delivery to the upper surface of microporous atomizer sheet 19 while also maintaining the back pressure on the lower surface of microporous atomizer sheet 19. The micro-holes on the micro-hole atomizing sheet 19 can be regarded as capillaries, which transport the liquid from the lower surface to the upper surface of the micro-hole atomizing sheet 19. Because grooves 1501 are located below the open areas of the atomizing sheet, these capillaries cannot draw liquid directly from the liquid-absorbing medium 15. The replenishment rate and the atomization rate of the liquid are thus balanced and overheating of the atomization unit is suppressed. At the same time, the grooves 1501 can also maintain the back pressure on the lower surface of the microporous atomizing sheet 19, ensuring that the ejection of droplets is performed on the upper surface of the microporous atomizing sheet 19. These properties make such atomizers suitable for use with high viscosity liquids. The shape, size of the bottom surface of the grooves 1501 and the depth of the grooves 1501 may be varied for different applications and liquids to tailor the structure and atomizing device for various high viscosity liquids.
In this embodiment, the atomizing unit is composed of a group of piezoelectric ceramic plates 16 and microporous atomizing plates 19, or may be composed of a plurality of groups of piezoelectric ceramic plates 16 and microporous atomizing plates 19 in cascade connection. The frequency, amplitude and vibration mode of vibration of the atomization unit can be adjusted by changing the number of groups, so that the atomization structure and the atomization device can respond to the excitation effect of an external ultrasonic oscillating circuit with the vibration frequency ranging from 50kHz to 2MHz, and the specific cascading number of groups and the vibration frequency depend on the viscosity of liquid and the expected size of liquid drops.
The liquid absorbent medium 15 in this embodiment may be a right cylinder as shown in fig. 1 and 2, a rectangular parallelepiped or a hexagonal prism, or may have a straight portion 1502 and a bent portion 1503 as shown in fig. 4. Because the spray direction of the atomized droplets is perpendicular to the upper surface of the microporous atomizing sheet 19, and the lower surface of the microporous atomizing sheet 19 is in contact with the upper surface of the liquid absorbent medium 15, the spray direction after atomization can be changed by changing the bending angle of the bending portion 1503 of the liquid absorbent medium 15.
The mist guide pipe 20 in fig. 1 is a shrink pipe, not a conventional straight round pipe. Due to the small-up-large-down convergent tube design, the mist guide tube 20 can guide atomized droplets to a desired direction and recover large-sized droplets. Those droplets of large size will flow down the inner wall of the mist guide pipe 20 after contacting the inner wall and then flow back to the liquid receiving tank 12 via the back flow gap 21. The mist guide pipe 20 of this embodiment may be upright, or may include a vertical portion and a curved portion, and by changing the angle of the curved portion, the direction of the outlet of the small opening end 13 may be arbitrarily changed from vertical to horizontal, thereby changing the direction of the liquid spray of the entire atomizing apparatus.
It will be appreciated that the shape of grooves 1501 in wicking medium 15 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be any other form of recessed area. And the number of grooves 1501 may be two, three or even more. The dimensions of the grooves 1501 may vary depending on the viscosity of the liquid and the performance of the atomizer.
The shape of the microporous atomizing sheet 19 may be a microporous atomizing sheet 19 having arc-shaped projections in fig. 5, in addition to a straight flat sheet as shown in fig. 1.
The operation of the ultrasonic atomizing apparatus provided according to the embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described below.
Fig. 6 is an external view schematically showing an ultrasonic atomizing apparatus. The reservoir 2 has been filled with a high viscosity liquid by opening the upper lid 1 prior to actuation of the atomizer. The viscosity of the liquid used in this example was about 200 centipoise. First, the liquid will flow into the reservoir 6 and then through the conduit 11 to the liquid receiver 12. The liquid absorbing medium 15 starts to absorb the liquid in the liquid receiving tank 12 and is conveyed to the microporous atomizing sheet 19, and finally an equilibrium state is reached, at which the liquid levels of the liquid receiving tank 12 and the liquid storage channel 6 are equal. When the push-button switch 22 is turned on, the energized ultrasonic oscillating circuit outputs an ultrasonic excitation signal to the atomizing unit through the lead 17. The annular piezoelectric ceramic plate 16 and the microporous atomizing plate 19 vibrate accordingly at this ultrasonic frequency, and droplets of the high-viscosity liquid are ejected. The oscillation frequency of this embodiment is 120kHz, and the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the annular piezoelectric ceramic plate 16 are 16mm and 8mm, respectively. The indicator light 27 may be an LED indicator light, which may be used to indicate the operating status and battery level of the atomizer, and the charging interface 26 may be a mini-USB33 interface, which may be used for charging.
The terms "first" and "second" are used herein for descriptive purposes only and are not intended to have a particular meaning.
It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and the applied technical principles, and any changes or substitutions easily conceivable to those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
