Abstract:
The invention relates to applying a liquid to pasty hot-melt adhesive to a substrate (44), comprising a template (29), having at least one cavity (38) for the hot-melt adhesive, and also comprising an adhesive-transfer infeed (33), which is assigned to the template (29) and through which the adhesive can be introduced into the cavity (38). The special feature consists in that the apparatus (10) further comprises a transporting-fluid-supply opening (35), assigned to the template (29), and a device for displacing (13, 15), in particular pivoting, the template (29) between a first position, in which the cavity (38) is assigned to the adhesive-transfer infeed (33), and a second position, in which the cavity (38) is assigned to the transporting-fluid-supply opening (35), and therefore the adhesive, in the second position, can be discharged from the cavity (38) by a transporting fluid flowing through the transporting-fluid-supply opening (35).
Abstract:
Disclosed is an improvement of a bubble-type snowflake maker. The interior of a machine body of a main machine is provided with accommodating space for disposing a blower that is used to send out wind power towards an air outlet pipe and an air outlet; a pump transports bubble water to a bubble head along a flexible bubble water pipe; a tail end of the air outlet pipe is sleeved with a cloth sleeve extending outwardly, and the bubble head of the bubble water pipe is disposed in the air outlet pipe; the air outlet is outwardly connected to a spray pipe having an inner pipe, and the air outlet pipe and the cloth sleeve extend into the pipe; the inner diameter of the inner pipe of the spray pipe is greater than the outer diameter of the air outlet pipe; and an inner annular toothed edge radially extends inwardly along a tail end of the inner pipe of the spray pipe. Wind power generated by the blower is blown to the interior and exterior of the cloth sleeve through the air pipe and the air outlet separately, so that the bubble water exudes from a surface of the cloth sleeve to form bubbles, and the wind power is used to blow the bubbles to fly away, so as to form artificial snowflakes.
Abstract:
A sprayer configured to provide an air-water mixture to a pool or spa. The sprayer includes an outlet module for spraying an air-water mixture into a water cavity of the pool, a suction module for suctioning ambient air into the outlet module, and a connecting pipe that connects the outlet module and the suction module. The sprayer may be concealed within an inflatable chamber of the pool.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system that may include a holding tank configured to hold a liquid, a pump configured to receive the liquid from the holding tank, a nozzle configured to emit a fog, and a fan configured to push the fog through a tube. Disclosed also is a method of creating a fog by transferring a liquid from a holding tank to a pump, pumping the liquid to a pressure regulator, moving the liquid from the pressure regulator back to the holding tank when a pressure is above a first value and moving the liquid to a fogger when the pressure is below the first pressure.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of a breath-activated nebulizer with flow-based fluidic control and related methods of using such a nebulizer are disclosed. The nebulizer may include a body comprising a reservoir for holding medication, a nozzle for emitting a jet of pressurized gas, and a fluid conduit in communication with the reservoir for delivery of the medication proximate the jet to produce an aerosol of medication. The nebulizer may also include a nebulizer outlet in communication with the body for delivery of the aerosol to a patient, an entrainment passage for providing entrainment flow from atmosphere during inhalation by the patient, and a control conduit in fluid communication with the fluid conduit for delivery of a control gas to the fluid conduit to prevent the delivery of the medication proximate the jet. In some exemplary embodiments, the control conduit may comprise a gas passage proximate the entrainment passage to allow the control gas to flow across the entrainment passage. During the inhalation by the patient, the entrainment flow through the entrainment passage may substantially prevent the control gas from flowing across the entrainment passage so as to interrupt the delivery of the control gas to the fluid conduit.
Abstract:
A system for assisting in the atomisation of liquid particles conveyed in a gas stream flowing along a flow path having a rigid boundary, said system involving the creation of one or more shock waves in the gas stream. In a preferred embodiment, the system comprises a fuel injection nozzle (10) comprising a fluid flow passage (43) terminating at a discharge orifice (15) and incorporating a delivery port (33) defined between a valve seat (31) and a valve member (23) movable with respect to the valve seat for opening and closing the delivery port. Fuel is delivered along the fluid flow passage (43) into a combustion chamber through the discharge orifice (15) upon opening of the delivery port (33). The valve member (23) devines an inner boundary surface (47) of the flow passage (43) and the valve seat (31) defines at least part of an outer boundary surface (45) of the flow passage (43). The inner and outer boundary surfaces (47, 45null) are configured to generate one or more shock waves in an air-fuel mixture flowing at supersonic speed therebetween.
Abstract:
An apparatus for creating a fine liquid mist includes a container capable of holding fluid; one of a perforated basket and a porous bag disposed in the container; a liquid supply connector connected to the container; a mixing chamber connected to the container; and at least one convergent/divergent nozzle connected to the mixing chamber. A method of forming an effervescent fine liquid mist includes mixing liquid and chemical reactant to form non-toxic, noncombustible gas bubbles; mixing the liquid and the gas bubbles to form a two-phase fluid flow; and directing the two-phase fluid flow through at least one convergent/divergent nozzle.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for efficiently applying liquid coatings to a workpiece. The apparatus is a compressed air spray system tailored to achieve a desired transfer efficiency (TE) by controlling atomization. Liquid and pressurized air are supplied to a spray applicator. The atomized spray is applied to the workpiece. Atomization and TE, as well as associated fluid flow parameters, are measured at various gas pressures while maintaining a constant liquid flow rate. A graphical representation of the relationship between atomization and TE is produced. An optimized atomization corresponding to a desired TE is determined from the graphical representation of atomization and TE. The fluid flow parameters corresponding to the optimized atomization are set and regulated to produce the optimized atomization, thereby optimizing transfer efficiency.
Abstract:
A method of mixing two or more kinds of adhesive resin liquids takes the steps of arranging such that resin outlet ports (6a, 7a) of feed tubes (6, 7) for feeding two or more kinds of resin material liquids which are hardened by reaction face a side skin surface (3b) of an ultrasonic wave transmission solid horn (3), allowing the resin material liquids to flow down passing along the side skin surface (3b) while applying ultrasonic vibrations to the resin material liquids, and guiding the resin material liquids to a distal end face (3a) of the ultrasonic wave transmission solid horn (3), thereby mixing the resin material liquids in an aerial state.
