Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to an anti-smog gun. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure is directed towards a truck mounted dc powered anti-smog gun, for saving diesel AC generator cost, fuel consumption, diesel generator emissions, high maintenance cost.
BACKGROUND
Air pollution has become a pressing issue worldwide, especially in urban areas with high vehicular and industrial emissions. To combat this growing problem, innovative solutions are being developed, one of which is the Truck-Mounted Anti-Smog Gun. This technology is designed to reduce airborne pollutants by spraying fine water mist into the air, helping to settle dust particles and other pollutants. Further, there are diesel ac generator powered anti-smog gun that is powered by Diesel AC generator in which AC motors are used for Anti-Smog Gun. Such technique not only acquire the truck space and weight load but also increases the operating cost as diesel AC generator fuel is required. Using diesel AC generator also increases emissions thus causes air pollution. Diesel generators consume fuel continuously, leading to high running costs. The generator itself emits pollutants (NOx, CO2, PM), contradicting the purpose of an anti-smog gun. Additionally, diesel engines require regular maintenance, and fuel shortages can disrupt operation. Diesel generators create significant noise, causing disturbances in urban areas.
The truck-mounted anti-smog gun with a diesel AC generator can face several issues that affect its performance, efficiency, and environmental impact. The diesel AC generator itself produces emissions, which contradicts the purpose of an anti-smog gun. The anti-smog gun with diesel generator may generate the air pollution against the purpose of anti-smog Gun which is used to reduce the air pollution. Running a diesel AC generator continuously consumes a lot of fuel, making operation expensive. Inadequate water storage due to voluminous AC generator leads to frequent water filling, reducing operational efficiency.
In order to avoid such problems, there is a need for an anti-smog gun that can save diesel AC generator cost, fuel consumption, diesel generator emissions, high maintenance cost.
The present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above, and any other limitation associated with the prior arts.

These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the disclosure, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The following description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense.
The following paragraphs describe the present disclosure with reference to Figure 1 – Figure 2. In the figures, Figure 1 is an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure and illustrates a truck mounted anti-smog gun. The truck mounted anti-smog gun (100), comprises a truck chassis equipped with a mounting platform, an anti-smog gun (120), a high-pressure water pump (114), a water storage tank (106), a power storage unit (110), a DC generator (104), and a control unit (108).
The truck chassis serves as the foundation for mounting the anti-smog gun, requiring specific design features to support the equipment effectively. The chassis is designed to withstand the weight of the anti-smog gun, water tank, and additional equipment without compromising stability. A reinforced frame with high-strength steel ensures durability and safety of the truck chassis. Further, a sturdy, flat mounting platform is necessary to securely hold the anti-smog gun and allow for proper dispersion of mist. The platform may include hydraulic or mechanical stabilizers to reduce vibrations and enhance operational efficiency. A truck chassis equipped with a mounting platform for a truck-mounted anti-smog gun plays a crucial role in combating air pollution. With advancements in engineering and environmental technology, these systems can be further optimized for efficiency and effectiveness. By integrating robust design features, ensuring operational stability, and maintaining easy mobility, such trucks offer a practical and scalable solution to address the growing concerns of urban air pollution.
The anti-smog gun (120) is configured to atomize water into fine mist particles for air pollution suppression. The anti-smog gun comprises a rotatable and vertically adjustable nozzle assembly (122) and a Direct Current (DC) fan (116). The rotatable and vertically adjustable nozzle assembly (122) is configured for dispersing the mist into the atmosphere. The nozzle assembly (122) comprises multiple nozzles with varying spray angles for enhanced coverage. The DC fan (116) is having a DC fan motor (118) for rotating the DC fan. The anti-smog gun is a device designed to reduce air pollution by spraying fine water mist into the air. The anti-smog gun helps in settling dust, pollutants, and particulate matter (PM) from the atmosphere, improving air quality. Such device is commonly used in cities with high pollution levels, especially at construction sites, industrial areas, and roads. The anti-smog gun is mounted on the truck chassis. The anti-smog gun uses the DC fan to disperse tiny water droplets into the air. Such droplets bind with pollutants and PM2.5/PM10 particles, causing them to settle down. The process helps in reducing air pollution and improving visibility. In one embodiment, the anti-smog gun further includes a high-speed fan to enhance the dispersion range of the mist.
The truck mounted anti-smog gun uses the high-pressure water pump to disperse fine water droplets into the air, helping to settle airborne pollutants and improve air quality. The high-pressure water pump (114) is operatively connected to the anti-smog gun (120) to ensure continuous mist formation. The high-pressure water pump (114) comprises a DC motor (112). The high-pressure water pump is the core component of a truck-mounted anti-smog gun. It is responsible for generating the required pressure to atomize water into fine mist particles, which can effectively trap and settle particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). The high-pressure water pump ensures that water is broken down into fine droplets for maximum dispersion. The high-pressure water pump provides a steady and regulated water supply to the nozzle assembly (122). The high-pressure water pump optimizes water usage while maintaining high operational efficiency.
In an example, the DC motor (112) can be a brushless DC motor with variable speed motor. The DC motor (112) can have maximum speed of 3500 rpm and peak torque of 900kg/cm. Further, the operating temperature of the DC motor (112) is 60°C.
The high-pressure water pump operates based on mechanical pressurization. In an operation, the high-pressure water pump draws water from the water storage tank, typically mounted on the truck. Thereafter, using a piston, diaphragm, or centrifugal mechanism, the pump compresses the water, increasing its pressure. The high-pressure water is forced through specialized nozzles, converting it into ultra-fine mist particles. The mist is then released into the air, where it binds with pollutants and brings them down to the ground.
The water storage tank (106) mounted on the truck chassis for supplying water to the anti-smog gun (120). The water storage tank (106) typically ranges from 500 liters to 10,000 liters, depending on the size and purpose of the anti-smog gun. The water storage tank (106) is usually made of stainless steel, polyethylene (HDPE), or mild steel with anti-corrosion coating to prevent rusting and ensure durability. The high-pressure water pump is connected to the water storage tank (106) to convert water into a fine mist. The water storage tank (106) can be refilled from fire hydrants, municipal water supplies, or tanker trucks. Further, the water storage tank (106) is equipped with a filtration unit to ensure the purity of water used for mist generation.
The power storage unit (110) is typically a battery pack that stores the necessary power for the operation of the truck mounted anti-smog gun. The power storage unit (110) is charged by power generated by the DC generator (104). In one embodiment, the stored power of the power storage unit (110) is used by the control unit to operate the electrical component of the truck mounted anti-smog gun. The power storage unit is selected based on battery capacity that is sufficient to run the truck mounted anti-smog gun for extended periods, usually measured in Ah (Amp-hours) or kWh. Also, such selection is also dependent on charging time and available charging infrastructure.
The DC generator (104) is a device that converts mechanical energy into direct current (DC) electricity using the principle of electromagnetic induction. Unlike an alternator, which generates alternating current (AC) and then converts it to DC, the DC generator (104) directly produces DC power using a commutator. DC generators are widely used in applications requiring stable and continuous DC output, such as battery charging, industrial equipment, and railway electrification. The DC generator comprises an armature that is a rotating coil where voltage is induced, field windings that produces the magnetic field, either from permanent magnets or electromagnets. The DC generator further comprises a commutator that is a mechanical rectifier that converts the internally generated AC into DC. The DC generator further comprises brushes that conduct current from the rotating commutator to the external circuit. As the armature rotates within the magnetic field, an alternating voltage is induced. The commutator rectifies this AC into a unidirectional DC output.
In one embodiment, the DC generator (104) is coupled with an engine (102) of the truck by means of transmitting energy and motion so that the DC generator (104) can generate DC current upon ignition of the engine (102) of the truck. In an example, such means of transmitting energy and motion can be a pulley or similar kind of arrangements. The DC generator provides a continuous and direct voltage supply. The DC generator is useful in applications requiring high initial torque, it is having simple control mechanism to regulate output voltage compared to AC systems. In an example, the DC generator is having an output voltage of 48V to 60 V, and output current of 200 amps to 400 amps. The DC generator further comprises an automatic voltage regulator for steady voltage to the power storage unit (110) and the DC motor.
Further, the control unit (108) is configured to regulate the operation of the nozzle assembly (122), the DC fan motor (118), the water pump (114), the power storage unit (110), and the DC alternator (104). The control unit enables precise control of mist dispersion based on environmental conditions. The control unit is configured to charge the power storage unit by using the DC current generated by the DC generator (104). Further, the control unit is configured to operate the nozzle assembly (122), the DC fan motor (118), and the water pump (114) either by using charge of the power storage unit or by using the power generated by the DC generator (104) directly.
The control unit (108) is configured to regulate water flow and pressure to achieve an effective misting action, control the spray angle and rotation for maximum coverage. The control unit (108) automates operations for minimal human intervention, and monitors real-time data to adjust performance dynamically. In one embodiment, the control unit can be one of semi-automatic control unit, fully automatic control unit, remote-controlled unit, and IoT (Internet of Things) enables smart control unit.
In one embodiment, the truck mounted anti-smog gun comprises a moto controller panel coupled with the control unit, wherein the motor controller panel comprises voltage digital meter, current digital meter, overvoltage adjustment keys, overload protection enablers. The motor controller panel further comprises means for variable speed control with potentiometer.

Therefore, in the present invention the DC generator is powered by truck engine. DC generator is very compact which produces high current at low voltage and take no extra space for fixing with truck engine. DC generator generates high current which charges the DC battery bank and these DC batteries provide power to DC motors of anti-smog gun for operation. In an embodiment, the DC generator can drive the DC motors directly. Diesel AC generator is replaced by compact DC generator which saves the truck space, weight load, Diesel generator emissions, Diesel generator high cost and maintenance.
