Description

  The present invention relates to an ultrasonic ethanol separation device that discharges a liquid containing ethanol by ultrasonic vibration from a funnel-shaped nozzle and collects ethanol from the periphery of the discharged liquid column.

  As this type of ultrasonic atomizer, as shown in FIG. 6, a blower port 1b is formed in the upper part of the side wall 1a of the case 1, and a suction port 1d is formed in the opposite side wall 1c of the side wall 1a. A plurality of inclined portions 1f that are slightly inclined from the horizontal portion 1e are formed at the bottom of each, and the piezoelectric vibrators 2 are respectively attached to the lower portions of the inclined portions 1f. A small-diameter hole 1g is formed, and a conical nozzle 3 inclined in the same direction as each inclination is mounted on the upper part of the inclined portion 1f. Further, the atomized liquid 4 is slightly below the upper end of the nozzle 3. The present applicant proposes that the piezoelectric vibrator 2 is supplied with an oscillation output from the oscillator 5 so as to be always at a constant level.

  In the conventional ultrasonic atomization fractionating apparatus configured as described above, when an oscillation output is supplied from the oscillator 5 to the piezoelectric vibrator 2, ultrasonic waves are generated from the piezoelectric vibrator 2, and the nozzle 3 is inclined. The atomized liquid 4 injected from the atomized liquid injection port 3a formed between the portions 1f is ejected from the nozzle 3 to generate atomized particles 4a. The atomized particles 4a are supplied from the blower port 1b. The air is sucked from the suction port 1d by the blown air and is collected by a collecting device (not shown).

However, in the conventional ultrasonic atomization fractionating apparatus configured as described above, a large amount of energy is required to atomize the liquid in the case 1 with a large number of piezoelectric vibrators 2, and after atomization, The atomized particles 4a had to be made into liquid ethanol, and there was a problem that the efficiency for liquefying was very bad.

Furthermore, the surface jagged A is a capillary wave, the jagged portion A becomes a high ethanol concentration region, the liquid column 11a has a surface excess phenomenon in which the surface ethanol concentration increases, and the discharged liquid column 11a becomes the funnel-shaped nozzle 7 Since the atomization occurs at a position away from the discharge port, the diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the liquid column 11a in order to recover the high ethanol concentration region A before the atomization occurs. By mounting the plate-like cutting member 12 provided with the cut hole 12a at the passage position of the liquid column 11a, the ethanol concentration of the liquid column 11a is high due to the cut hole 12a having a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the liquid column 11a.
