The water inlet casing 2 extends into the fixed cap 14, and both ends of the Laval core 15 are fixedly connected with the ends of the inlet casing 2 and the cylindrical segment hole end surface of the fixed cap 14 through the metal glue. The air hole of the intake casing 1, the inlet casing 2 and the third through-hole of the Laval core 15 constitute a gas passage, and the inlet, the inlet casing 2 and the Laval core 15 and the intake casing 1, the gap between the fourth through-holes of the fixed cap 14 and the liquid inlet hole of the Laval core 15 constitute a liquid passage.

(10) As shown in FIG. 2, the resonance cavity of the stepped resonance tube 11 is a second stepped hole, the inner surface of the resonant cavity is saw-tooth type, the inclination angle of the sawtooth longitudinal section is 12-25°, and the saw tooth length is 1.5-2.5 mm. The closed end of the stepped resonance tube 11 has a threaded hole, and the threaded hole cooperates with the fixed shaft 1203 of the regulative plunger 12 to realize the adjustable depth of the second stepped hole of the stepped resonant cavity. The regulative plunger 12 is composed of three sections. The first section is the exciter 1201, the second section is the plunger body 1202, the third section is the fixed shaft 1203, the fixed shaft 1203 is threaded on the cylindrical surface, and the material of the plunger body 1202 is aluminum alloy 1050, the outer surface of the aluminum alloy cylinder is covered with polyurethane rubber, and the thickness of the rubber layer is 0.3-0.5 mm. One end of the stepped resonance tube 11 is fixedly connected to the second pedestal 9 through the regulative plunger 12. The plunger body 1202 of the regulative plunger 12 is located in the second stepped hole, the interior of the stepped resonance tube 11, and the second stepped hole has an interference fit that acts as a seal to ensure that the seal does not leak. The depth of the second stepped hole in the stepped resonance tube 11 is adjusted by adjusting the axial position of the regulative plunger 12. The sawtooth shape of the inner surface of the stepped resonator cavity exacerbates the instability of the two-phase fluid in the cavity, which will enhance the fluctuation of the fluid in the cavity, making it easier for the two-phase fluid to form a resonance. In addition, when the compressed fluid flows out of the resonant cavity, the droplets collide with the serrated surface of the cavity wall several times when flowing out with the gas, which is beneficial to the further refinement of the mist droplets.

(11) The ratio of the first stepped hole to the second stepped hole of the second-order cavity of the stepped resonance tube 11 is 1.5-3, and the ratio of the depth of the second stepped hole to the first stepped hole is adjustable in the range of 1-5.

(12) The other end of the stepped resonance tube 11 extends to the end surface of the fixed cap 14; the swirlable vortex impeller 8 is mounted on the stepped resonance tube 11 through a bearing and is located in a conical section of the first through-hole of the taper rectifying sleeve 7. The outer surface of the stepped resonance tube 11 is a stepped shaft to achieve the installation and positioning of the bearing 10. The longitudinal section of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 is tapered, and there is a gap between the outer cone surface of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 and the inner cone surface of the taper rectifying sleeve 7. The gap between the swirlable vortex impeller 8 and the inner cone surface of the taper rectifying sleeve 7 is 0.5-1 mm, and the gap between the center hole wall surface of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 and the outer surface of the stepped resonance tube 11 is 0.2-0.4 mm. A ring-shaped groove is provided on the end face of the fixed cap 14, and the longitudinal groove shape of the ring groove is parabolic. The ring-shaped groove and the end surface of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 form a second resonance region. The exciter 1201 passes through the resonant cavity of the stepped resonance tube 11 and extends to the outlet section of the Laval core 15. The exciter 1201 effectively reduces the total pressure at the opening of the stepped resonance tube 11 and facilitates the discharge of compressed gas in the cavity. It also makes the two-phase fluid easier to reach resonance. When the air supply pressure is greater than 0.15 MPa, the resonance frequency of the resonator of the stepped resonance tube 11 is adjustable from 5.45 kHz to 12.137 kHz.

(13) As shown in FIG. 3, the parabolic line shape of the section of the annular groove on the end surface of the fixed cap 14 is determined by the coordinates of point A, its slope, and the coordinates of point B. The slope of the end curve of the parabola near the center of the fixed cap 14 is the same as that of the conical surface of the taper rectifying sleeve 7, and the annular groove is smoothly connected with the taper rectifying sleeve 7. The tapered cone angle of the taper rectifying sleeve 7 is 60°, the slope of the end curve of the parabola near the center of the fixed cap 14 is a slope of the outer-conical surface of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 is 60°.

(14) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the parabolic groove in the longitudinal section causes the two-phase fluid to be smoothly led to the second resonance region after flowing out of the stepped resonance tube 11. In this region, the high-speed two-phase fluid is in the second resonance region. The irregularly reflected oscillations increase the sound pressure level of the sprinkler during operation by approximately 10 dB to approximately 95 dB.

(15) As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the longitudinal section of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 is conical, the cone angle is 60°, and the angle α between the starting point and the ending point of the pressure surface of the blade is 25°-35°. The blades of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 are unequal thickness blades. The contour curve of the pressure surface of the blade is a cubic polynomial curve. The contour curve of the blade suction surface is a circular arc, and the pressure surface profile curve is from the starting point C and the ending point. The position coordinates and slope of D are determined. The suction surface type is determined by the position coordinates of the starting point E and the ending point F and the slope of the starting point. The slope of the starting point is set to 0.3 to 0.7, and the slope of the ending point is set to 0.5 to 1. The supply pressure adjustment range is 0.15-0.5 MPa, and the rotation range of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 is 400-1000 r/min.

(16) At the time of installation, the inlet casing 2, the Laval core 15 and the fixed cap 14 are first fixed together with metal glue, and then the fixed cap 14 is screwed into the inner threaded hole at the end of the inlet casing 1; the swirlable vortex impeller 8 is fixedly connected to the shoulder of the stepped shaft of the stepped resonance tube 11 through the bearing 10, and the second pedestal 9 and the stepped resonance tube 11 are fixedly connected by adjusting the fixed shaft 1203 of the regulative plunger 12; the positioning lead 6 is screwed into the corresponding screw hole of the second pedestal 9, the taper rectifying sleeve 7 and the first adjustable pedestal 5 in order as shown in FIG. 1, and the relative positions thereof are adjusted.

(17) Working Example: High-pressure gas 0.15-0.5 MPa is connected by the air intake hole 16 at the end of the nozzle, and the liquid is merged with the high-speed air flow at the exit of the Laval tube. The liquid is impacted and broken up to form a large droplet, the first atomization occurs, and then the droplets continue to enter the stepped resonant cavity with high-speed jets. The first phase of the two-phase fluid resonates regularly in the stepped resonant cavity. The fluid in the cavity oscillates at a frequency of about 5-12 KHz, and the large droplets are further cracked and refined. A second atomization occurs. In this process, the sawtooth type changes on the inner surface of the exciter 1201 and the stepped resonance tube 11 all contribute to the stable resonance of the step type resonant cavity; the mist enters from the step type resonant cavity and enters the second resonance region and the second resonance region is an internal space region formed by the combined combination of the end face groove of the fixed cap 14 and the taper rectifying sleeve 7. In the second resonance region, the two-phase fluid oscillates irregularly, and the sound pressure level of the strong sound field is about the 95 dB region is favorable for further fogging and refining of the fog droplets, so that the third atomization of the fog droplets occurs, and the particle size of the droplets further decreases; finally, the droplets enter the blade gap of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 under the action of the fluid pressure. In the meantime, under the action of the fluid pressure, the swirlable vortex impeller 8 rotates at a high speed of 400-1000 r/min, the supply pressure adjustment range is 0.15-0.5 Mpa, the droplets rotate with the impeller at high speed, and centrifugal occurs when flying out of the impeller. In the movement, the fourth atomization of the droplet occurs under the effect of centrifugal force, and at the same time, the distribution of the droplets is more uniform. At the same time, the high-speed rotation of the swirlable vortex impeller 8 makes the droplet cluster more evenly distributed in the space area within the injection angle range.
