DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] The present invention is described in detail below in combination with implementations shown in the accompanying drawings, but it should be noted that these implementations are no restrictions on the present invention, and functions, methods, or equivalent transformations or substitutions in a structure made by those skilled in the art according to these implementations are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] An atomization device spraying method (hereinafter referred to as a spraying method) and an atomization device based on the spraying method disclosed in this application are intended to output target fog droplets with a target particle size D.sub.F of a set value or a value approximate to the set value by the atomization device, to implement qualitative and quantitative adjustment of the target particle size D.sub.F. The fog droplet particle size D.sub.F of the set value or a value approximate to the set value of the target fog droplet in this application can be arbitrarily selected in a range of target particle sizes D.sub.F that the atomization device can objectively output, and a rotating speed N.sub.1 of a first atomization disk, the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk, a liquid density , a liquid flow quantity Q, a quantity n of guide grooves, or the height h of the guide groove are separately or partially combined as spraying parameters and further used as variables for determining an initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1. After the spraying parameters are determined, for example, when a type of liquid to be sprayed, physical and chemical indicators such as a liquid concentration, the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk, and the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk are determined, the fog droplet particle size can be determined by D.sub.F=D.sub.1 (namely, one of the variables can be deduced and calculated based on a preset model). In particular, the target fog droplets with a set target particle size D.sub.F can be output by adjusting a rotating speed N of a second atomization disk to a target rotating speed. The spraying parameters such as the type of liquid, the physical and chemical indicators such as the liquid concentration, the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk, and the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk for spraying by the entire atomization device can be determined in advance.

[0030] In addition, the above variables such as the liquid density p and liquid flow quantity Q can be regarded as one or more optional variable parameters in the process of determining the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1, and other variable parameters such as a liquid viscosity coefficient, a liquid temperature, and an agricultural chemical liquid concentration are possibly used separately or entirely. The atomization device spraying method disclosed in this application can provide a standard operation specification for manufacturing and use of components such as a first atomization disk 10 and a second atomization disk 20, so that the target fog droplets finally output by the atomization device that meets set requirements and has the target particle size D.sub.F are qualitatively and quantitatively adjusted with a set value or a value approximate to the set value. Specific implementations for the atomization device spraying method and the atomization device disclosed in this application are described in detail as follows.

[0031] The atomization device spraying method is based on rotation control of the atomization device shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, to determine and output the target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F. Unless otherwise specified, the particle size (for example, the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 or the target particle size D.sub.F) related in this application is an average fog droplet particle size, namely, D.sub.50. The atomization device includes the first atomization disk 10 and the second atomization disk 20 that are coaxially disposed in concentric circles and rotate in opposite directions. In an actual scenario, the spraying method can be regarded as a computer program execution logic and used for a communication session between a control side (or a background server) and a flight computer (for example, a flight control system) built into a drone.

[0032] The atomization device disclosed in this application includes the following steps.

[0033] First, obtain spraying parameters of the atomization device. The spraying parameters can be input in a graphical user interface of a control end in the mode of data input, so that the spraying parameters are transmitted to the flight control system (not shown) of the drone in a wireless or wired manner, and are calculated in the flight control system. Rotation of a first drive motor (not shown) and a second drive motor (not shown) that respectively drive the first atomization disk 10 and the second atomization disk 20 to rotate is determined, and the first atomization disk 10 and the second atomization disk 20 are respectively driven to reach corresponding rotating speeds that can respectively output target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F, namely, the target rotating speeds. Therefore, in this embodiment, the target rotating speeds can be understood as a rotating speed of the first atomization disk and a rotating speed of the second atomization disk, and the rotating speeds of the first atomization disk and the second atomization disk can be respectively controlled and adjusted.

[0034] Second, determine the target particle size D.sub.F of the target fog droplets. Determining the target particle size D.sub.F can be implemented before operation or during the start of the atomization device, to control the atomization device to finally output the target fog droplets with a target particle size conforming to the target particle size D.sub.F or within a tolerable error of the target particle size D.sub.F, namely, a target particle size D.sub.F of 10 microns with a tolerance of +1 microns.

[0035] Next, adjust, based on the spraying parameters and a preset model, the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk to a target rotating speed for outputting the target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F, where the preset model is built by at least a secondary atomization factor determined based on the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk. The rotating speed N of the second atomization disk is adjusted, to adjust the secondary atomization factor , thereby adjusting the particle size of the fog droplets to the target particle size. After the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 is determined, the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 is compared with the set target particle size D.sub.F, to determine whether to reduce or increase the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk, thereby adjusting the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk to the target rotating speed, and outputting target fog droplets that meets preset requirements.

[0036] Finally, perform spraying through the target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F. The target fog droplets are sprayed on plants under the action of a downward wind field formed by the rotation of a propeller of a drone.

[0037] The second atomization factor is determined at least based on the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk 20 that rotates opposite to the first atomization disk 10 on an outer side of the first atomization disk, to use the secondary atomization factor and the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 or to determine the target particle size of the target fog droplets output by the atomization device. Output of the target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F is determined by the preset model, and the preset model is the product of the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 output by the first atomization disk 10 and the secondary atomization factor . To be specific, the preset model is D.sub.1. It can be learned that the target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F can be further determined by an optimized preset model combined with the secondary atomization factor .

[0038] The secondary atomization factor is determined by the following formula: =5.8710.sup.9N.sup.22.1810.sup.4N+2.15, [0039] where a parameter N is the rotating speed of the second atomization disk.

[0040] The secondary atomization factor is introduced to consider the influence of the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk on the target particle size D.sub.F of the target fog droplets. Calculation efficiency and accuracy of the target particle size D.sub.F can be improved by setting the secondary atomization factor .

[0041] The initial fog droplet size D.sub.1 of the initial fog droplets is determined by the following formula:

[00004] $D_{1} = \frac{k 1 {(Q)}^{k_{2}}}{{(N_{1} d 1)}^{k_{3}}} .$

[0042] In the above formula, a spraying parameter N.sub.1 is the rotating speed of the first atomization disk, a spraying parameter d.sub.1 is the diameter of the first atomization disk, a spraying parameter p is a liquid density, a spraying parameter Q is a liquid flow quantity, a parameter k.sub.1 is a first empirical coefficient, a parameter k.sub.2 is a second empirical coefficient, and a parameter k.sub.3 is a third empirical coefficient. The first empirical coefficient k.sub.1 may be 45.96, the second empirical coefficient k.sub.2 may be 0.24, and the third empirical coefficient k.sub.3 may be 0.05, so that the formula for determining the initial fog droplet size D.sub.1 is:

[00005] $D_{1} = \frac{4 5.9 6 {(Q)}^{0.24}}{{(N_{1} d_{1})}^{0.05}} .$

[0043] Because only spraying parameters such as the spraying parameter N.sub.1, spraying parameter d.sub.1, spraying parameter , and spraying parameter Q are introduced into the formula for determining the initial fog droplet particle size and are used as variables of the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1, the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 of the initial fog droplets can be accurately determined. Further, the atomization device spraying method further includes: adjusting the spraying parameters, and adjusting the target particle size D.sub.F of the target fog droplets based on the preset model. The spraying parameters include a combination of any one or more of the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk, the liquid density , the liquid flow quantity Q, and the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk. In particular, the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk can be adjusted to a target rotating speed.

[0044] In addition, several spiral-distributed guide grooves 11 are formed on a disk-shaped surface of the first atomization disk 10, and the guide grooves 11 may be guide grooves that can be distributed in the form of Archimedes curves. The guide grooves 11 may be formed on a disk-shaped upper surface and/or a disk-shaped lower surface of the first atomization disk 10. Liquid forming the target fog droplets is centrifugally accelerated through the guide grooves 11, and is torn at an edge of the first atomization disk 10 and decomposed into initial fog droplets with the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1. In addition, an applicant pointed out that a quantity n of the guide grooves and the height h of the guide grooves formed in the first atomization disk 10 also have an effect on the target particle size D.sub.F of finally output target fog droplets. Therefore, in this embodiment, the spraying parameters further include: [0045] the quantity n of guide grooves and/or the height h of the guide groove on the first atomization disk 10; [0046] The initial fog droplet size D.sub.1 determined based on the optimized preset model is determined by the following formula:

[00006] $D_{1} = \frac{k_{5} {(Q)}^{k_{2}}}{{(N_{1} d_{1})}^{k_{3}}} {(h n)}^{k_{4}};$ [0047] where the spraying parameter N.sub.1 is the rotating speed of the first atomization disk, the spraying parameter d.sub.1 is the diameter of the first atomization disk, the spraying parameter is the liquid density, the spraying parameter Q is the liquid flow quantity, a parameter k.sub.2 is a second empirical coefficient, a parameter k.sub.3 is a third empirical coefficient, a parameter k.sub.4 is a fourth empirical coefficient, and a parameter k.sub.5 is a fifth empirical coefficient. The second empirical coefficient k.sub.2 may be 0.24, the third empirical coefficient k.sub.3 may be 0.05, the fourth empirical factor k.sub.4 may be 0.12, and the fifth empirical factor k.sub.5 may be 37.5. The quantity n of guide grooves and the height h of the guide groove are added to build the optimized preset model, so that the accuracy of the initial fog droplet particle size can be improved, and then the accuracy of the target fog droplet particle size determined based on the preset model conforming to a previously set target particle size D.sub.F can be improved. Of course, a surface of the first atomization disk 10 may alternatively not be provided with the optimized preset model of the guide grooves 11, and only the preset model (or the optimized preset model) and the secondary atomization factor are only used to jointly determine the target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F.

[0048] Further, with reference to the above formula, when the third empirical coefficient k.sub.3 is a positive number less than 1, the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and/or the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk are adjusted. In other words, the product of the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk is adjusted. As the product of the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk is larger, an output initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 is smaller, otherwise, the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 is larger. In actual application, because the first atomization disk 10 is not easily replaced, the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 can be determined by fastening the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk to adjust only the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk to the target rotating speed.

[0049] Optionally, after the set value or a value approximate to the set value is selected, any one or more of the spraying parameters including the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk, the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk, the liquid density , and the liquid flow quantity Q, and the preset model (or the optimized preset model) can be adjusted. At least the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk are adjusted to respective target rotating speeds, and target rotating speeds corresponding to the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk can be deduced reversely based on the determined target particle size D.sub.F, so that the first atomization disk 10 outputs the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 of a set value or a value approximate to the set value, improving adjustment accuracy and an adjustment range of the initial fog droplet particle size.

[0050] Further, to improve the efficiency and accuracy for determining the target particle size D.sub.F, the initial fog droplet particle size can also be selected, and then the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk is adjusted, so that the second atomization disk 20 outputs the target particle size of a set value or a value approximate to the set value. To be specific, after the initial fog droplet particle size is determined, the spraying parameters such as the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk have been determined, and then quantitative adjustment of the target particle size D.sub.F can be implemented by adjusting only the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk.

[0051] A minimum value of the initial fog droplet particle size is selected as 70 microns, and a set value or a value approximate to the set value of the target particle size D.sub.F of 20-25 microns is selected, so that the rotating speed N or a rotating speed range of the second atomization disk can be directly determined, to reduce a difficulty in adjusting the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk. Through accurate adjustment of the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk, quantitative adjustment of the target particle size D.sub.F is implemented, so that the target particle size D.sub.F is adjusted to possibly conform to the set value or be approximate to the set value, and the applicability of the atomization device is improved.

[0052] In this embodiment, the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk is greater than the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk. Because the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk is smaller than the diameter d.sub.2 of the second atomization disk, an overall energy utilization rate can be improved, and damage to or jitter of the second atomization disk 20 due to an excessively large diameter or an excessively great rotating speed can be avoided, thereby improving the service life of the atomization device. Further, a difference between the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk is greater than or equal to 5,000 rpm, namely, N.sub.1N5,000 rpm, to ensure that the target particle size D.sub.F can be small enough (for example, less than 50 microns), and ensure the service life of the atomization device. For example, the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk is greater than or equal to 15,000 rpm and less than or equal to 30,000 rpm, and the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk is greater than or equal to 10,000 rpm.

[0053] In addition, the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk shall not be less than 5,000 rpm, and the diameter of the first atomization disk is d.sub.110 cm, to achieve initial fog droplet particle sizepreset value, preventing that the target particle size cannot reach an expected value (namely, a set value of the target particle size or a value approximate to the set value) due to the excessively large initial fog droplet particle size, and improving adjustment efficiency of the target particle size D.sub.F.

[0054] It should be noted that the applicant found through experimental verification that the particle size of the fog droplets produced by the first atomization disk 10 has a minimum value. When the minimum value is reached, in a case that the liquid density p and the liquid flow quantity Q remain unchanged, the target particle size D.sub.F of the target fog droplets cannot be reduced even if the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk are increased. Therefore, the initial fog droplet particle size minimum value.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the initial fog droplet particle size is determined to be equal to the minimum value, to improve the overall energy utilization rate of the atomization device, prevent excessively energy from being lost due to the excessively great rotating speed of the first atomization disk 10, and ensure that the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 formed by the fog droplets output by the first atomization disk 10 is small enough, and further reduce the target particle size D.sub.F. The minimum value is reasonably selected based on an environment (e.g., an air temperature, a wind speed, an air pressure, or the like) in which the atomization device is located, the liquid density , the liquid flow quantity Q, and tiny changes in the target particle size D.sub.F caused by changes in a structure of the device. For example, the minimum value may be equal to 60 microns, 65 microns, 70 microns, 75 microns, 80 microns, or the like.

[0056] In this application, after the first atomization disk 10 is disposed to obtain the initial fog droplets with the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1, the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk is provided, so that the target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F are output, and the target particle size of the target fog droplets output by the atomization device can be smaller than the initial fog droplet particle size and further smaller than the minimum value of the initial fog droplet particle size. The target particle size D.sub.F can reach 60 microns, 50 microns, 40 microns, 30 microns, 20 microns, or even 10 microns, and the target particle size D.sub.F of the atomization device can be adjusted in a particle size distribution range of 10-60 microns, so that an application range of the atomization device is increased. After the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 has been determined (to be specific, the rotating speed of the first atomization disk and the diameter of the first atomization disk have been determined), as long as the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk is directly adjusted, the target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F can be determined and output, so that a difficulty in controlling the target particle size D.sub.F of the target fog droplets output by the atomization device is greatly reduced, the efficiency and accuracy for determining the target particle size D.sub.F are improved, a target particle size that has been input and determined by a user is exactly the same as the target particle size D.sub.F actually output by the atomization device, and the accuracy of the actually output target particle size D.sub.F can be ensured.

[0057] The following is a detailed description of the atomization device: the atomization device is provided with a first atomization disk 10 and a second atomization disk 20 coaxially disposed, an outer edge of the second atomization disk 20 is provided with an annular body 21, a spacing dr is formed between the outer edge of the first atomization disk 10 and the annular body 21 along a radial direction, and the spacing dr=1-4 mm. The annular body 21 includes teeth 22 spaced apart along a circumferential direction of the second atomization disk 20. After the spacing dr is formed, the initial fog droplets can be fully torn apart by the air in an annular area formed by the spacing dr in a transverse flight process, and an initial fog droplet spraying annular-surface is formed. In addition, because the spacing is relatively small, it is prevented that the initial fog droplets lose excessive kinetic energy in the transverse flight process, so that the initial fog droplets are further cracked and accelerated as droplets with a smaller particle size and basically with a set value of the target particle size or approximate to the set value under the action of the teeth 22 that rotate at a high-speed, ensuring the qualitative and quantitative adjustment effect of the target particle size D.sub.F.

[0058] The applicant presents test results and a verification analysis process based on the above technical solutions.

[0059] The target fog droplets with the target particle size D.sub.F are formed based on both first atomization performed by rotation of the first atomization disk 10 and second atomization performed by rotation of the second atomization disk 20. For example, the liquid flow quantity Q is 0.5 L/min, the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk is 0.1 m, the diameter d.sub.2 of the second atomization disk is 0.104 m, and the spacing dr=2 mm. Liquid to be sprayed is water with a liquid density p of 1,000 kg/m.sup.3.

[0060] The test environment is room temperature (23 C.), and the first atomization disk 10 and the second atomization disk 20 are adjusted at different rotating speeds. Through an OMEC laser particle size analyzer, in a case that the rotating speeds of the first atomization disk 10 and the second atomization disk 20 remain unchanged, ten groups of data of the initial fog droplet particle sizes (the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 determined by the spraying parameter , the spraying parameter Q, the spraying parameter N.sub.1, and the spraying parameter d.sub.1) and the target particle sizes are tested respectively, and average values of the initial fog droplet particle sizes and the target particle sizes are obtained respectively, so that a tested standard value of the initial fog droplet particle size rotatably output by the first atomization disk 10 and a tested standard value of the target particle size rotatably output by the second atomization disk are obtained, as shown in Table 1 below.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Tested standard Tested value of standard the initial value fog droplet (microns) particle of the target size D.sub.1 particle N.sub.1 N d.sub.1 d.sub.2 Q (microns) size D.sub.F 15,000 10,000 0.1 0.104 1,000 0.5 70 40 19,000 12,000 0.1 0.104 1,000 0.5 70 30 24,000 13,000 0.1 0.104 1,000 0.5 70 20 27,000 20,000 0.1 0.104 1,000 0.5 70 10

[0061] Through Table 1, it can be learned that when the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk is between 15,000-27,000 rpm, the tested standard value of the initial fog droplet particle size is always 70 microns. In addition, as the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk is gradually increased to 27,000 rpm and the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk is gradually increased to 20,000 rpm, the tested standard value of the target particle size of all the target fog droplets output by the atomization device is finally kept around 10 microns.

[0062] Based on this, to verify the accuracy and rationality of the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1, the applicant selected five discrete values of the rotating speeds of the first atomization disk N.sub.1 including 1,000 rpm, 15,000 rpm, 19,000 rpm, 2,4000 rpm, and 27,000 rpm respectively to calculate a theoretical value of the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1, where k.sub.2=0.24, k.sub.3=0.06, k.sub.4=0.12, k.sub.5=37.5. Results are shown in a third row to a sixth row in Table 2 below, and an error between the tested standard value of the initial fog droplet particle size D.sub.1 and a theoretical value is within 5%. In addition, after the rotating speed of the first atomization disk 10 is gradually increased, it can be learned, from the tested standard value of the initial fog droplet particle size determined based on an optimized preset model with a quantity n of guide grooves and the height h of the guide groove introduced into a second row to a fifth row, that the values are approximate to 70 microns. To be specific, a minimum value of the initial fog droplets output by the first atomization disk 10 is 70 microns, which conforms to the actual law. When a first row shows that the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk is 1,000 rpm, the target particle size finally output by the atomization device is 82.580 microns, which is obviously less than the tested standard value of the initial fog droplet particle size of 100 microns. Therefore, the rotating speed of the first atomization disk is N.sub.110,000 rpm, preventing an excessively great error from the initial fog droplet particle size.

[0063] Then, the rationality and accuracy of a secondary atomization factor are verified. To determine the target particle size more simply, the target particle size is calculated by using the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk, to conform to an atomization law of the atomization device. Further, the applicant sets the secondary atomization factor to a polynomial based on the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk, to further match the atomization law based on which the atomization device outputs the target fog droplets that conform to the target particle size D.sub.F that has been determined. Four discrete values including 10,000 rpm, 12,000 rpm, 13,000 rpm, and 20,000 rpm of the rotating speeds N of the second atomization disk are selected, to calculate fitting coefficients (namely, a coefficient a0, a coefficient a1, and a coefficient a2). To be specific, three coefficients (namely, a coefficient a0, a coefficient a1, and a coefficient a2) of a polynomial of the secondary atomization factor are determined respectively, and the secondary atomization factor satisfies =a0 N.sub.2+a1 N+a2. Coefficient fitting is implemented by MATLAB.

[0064] Finally, a theoretical value of the target particle size D.sub.F (namely, the target particle size determined based on a preset model of D.sub.F=D.sub.1) is determined based on an optimized preset model of the preset model determined with an introduced quantity n of guide grooves and height h of the guide groove determined based on the second atomization factor , which is specifically shown in Table 3 below.

[0065] It is verified through Table 3 whether the three coefficients of the secondary atomization factor are correct. An abscissa in FIG. 3 is the rotating speed N (unit: rpm) of the second atomization disk, and an ordinate is a ratio of the target particle size to the initial fog droplet particle size. The theoretical value of the target particle size D.sub.F of each coefficient of the secondary atomization factor is determined based on the determined secondary atomization factor .

[0066] The theoretical value of the initial fog droplet size in Table 3 is obtained based on parameters in Table 2, and the theoretical value of the target particle size D.sub.F is calculated by substituting the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk. In the same case, the tested standard values of the target particle size D.sub.F are respectively 40 microns, 30 microns, 20 microns, and 10 microns. Theoretical values of the target particle size D.sub.F finally generated by the initial fog droplet size determined based on the optimized preset model in Table 3 are respectively 40.172 microns (with an error from a tested standard value of a target particle size D.sub.F determined based on the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk in Table 1 is +0.43%), 27.033 microns (with an error from a tested standard value of a target particle size D.sub.F determined based on the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk in Table 1 is 9.89%), 21.700 microns (with an error from a tested standard value of a target particle size D.sub.F determined based on the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk in Table 1 is +8.50%), and 9.665 microns (with an error from a tested standard value of a target particle size D.sub.F determined based on the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk in Table 1 is 3.35%). It can be learned that an error between the theoretical value and an actually measured value of the target particle size D.sub.F of the target fog droplets generated in the atomization device spraying method disclosed in this embodiment are all below 10% and is consistent with FIG. 3. Therefore, coefficients and parameters of the secondary atomization factor are all relatively accurate.

[0067] Based on the spraying method disclosed in the above embodiment, this embodiment further discloses an atomization device, including a first atomization disk 10 and a second atomization disk 20 that are coaxially disposed in concentric circles and rotate in opposite directions. The above atomization device spraying method is used for the atomization device, to output target fog droplets with a target particle size D.sub.F. An outer edge of the second atomization disk 20 is provided with an annular body 21, the annular body 21 is provided with a circle of teeth 22 along a circumferential direction thereof at intervals, and the teeth 22 partially overlap an initial fog droplet spraying annular-surface formed by the initial fog droplets output by the first atomization disk 10, so that the initial fog droplets can be further torn into target fog droplets with a smaller particle size by the teeth 22 that rotate at a high speed.

[0068] Optionally, the teeth 22 are arranged vertically upwards as shown in FIG. 1, or the teeth 22 are arranged vertically downwards, obliquely upwards, or obliquely downwards as shown in FIG. 2. It should be noted that positions of the first atomization disk 10 and the second atomization disk 20 in an axial direction are not restricted. The first atomization disk 10 can be disposed above the second atomization disk 20, or the first atomization disk 10 can alternatively be disposed below the second atomization disk 20, as long as the teeth 22 are disposed on an outer side of the first atomization disk 10, and can overlap the initial fog droplet spraying annular-surface formed by the initial fog droplets output by the first atomization disk 10. Further, the teeth 22 may be perpendicular to a disk surface of the second atomization disk 20, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, or may alternatively be inclined to the disk surface of the second atomization disk 20 (not shown). Specifically, the teeth 22 may alternatively be inclined inward or inclined outward with the disk face of the second atomization disk 20. The atomization device disposed based on the above embodiment can be applied to a drone. The drone includes a frame with a dynamic mechanism and at least one atomization device as disclosed in the above embodiment.

[0069] The atomization device can be suspended at the bottom or on a side back of the frame, and preferably disposed below a power mechanism of the drone (for example, a motor disposed at an end of a cantilever of a quadrotor drone) to perform atomization spraying on a to-be-sprayed object (such as a fruit tree) through target fog droplets with a target particle size D.sub.F output by the atomization device by using a downward pressure wind field generated by the power mechanism, and adhere the target fog droplets to leaf surfaces of the fruit tree, to reduce a waste of agricultural chemical liquid and improve penetration power of the fog droplets. In addition, the rotating speed N of the second atomization disk and one or more spraying parameters, (for example, the rotating speed N.sub.1 of the first atomization disk, the liquid flow quantity Q, and the like), that can be adjusted during the flight of the drone are adjusted based on an actual temperature, and a wind speed of weather, so that the target particle size D.sub.F is adjusted, or even the first atomization disk 10 and/or the second atomization disk 20 can be replaced (namely, the diameter d.sub.1 of the first atomization disk and/or the diameter d.sub.2 of the second atomization disk can be adjusted), so that the target particle size D.sub.F is adjusted. A method for determining the target particle size D.sub.F output by the atomization disk is described above and is not repeated herein.
