Abstract

Abstract The disclosure relates to an atomizer nozzle assembly for producing an extrafine mist of liquid. In the nozzle assembly, a liquid passage hole (23)of each nozzle tip (11) extends along a longitudinal axis (Y-Y) of the nozzle tip and has a front end opening (24) centrally formed in the front end face (33) of the nozzle tip. The angle ( α) of taper of a front tapered portion of each nozzle tip is 16° - 24°. Through above arrangement it is possible to produce a substantially ultrafine mist at the start of atomizing operation and also to produce an ultrafine mist having a constant particle diameter with the rise in pressure immediately following the start of atomization under an initial pressure of compressed air.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 266 words
An atomizer nozzle assembly including a nozzle body (1) having a plurality of nozzle heads (10) arranged in equally spaced relation around a longitudinal axis (X - X) thereof, each of the nozzle heads (10) having a mounting hole (14), a nozzle tip (11) mounted in said each mounting hole (14) and having a liquid passage hole (23) opening at the front end thereof, an air jet passage (18) defined between said each mounting hole (14) and the outer periphery of said each nozzle tip (11), the nozzle tips (11) being so arranged that their respective longitudinal axes (Y - Y) converge at a point (A) on said longitudinal axis (X - X), whereby as currents of compressed air are caused to jet out toward the point (A) on said longitudinal axis (X - X) passing through the air jet passages (18), they suck liquid thereinto through the respective front end openings of the liquid passage holes (23) to form jet streams of a gas-liquid mixture so that the jet streams impinge against one another at the point (A) on said longitudinal axis (X - X), thereby producing an ultra fine mist of liquid, characterizing in that the liquid passage hole (23) of said each nozzle tip (11) extending along the longitudinal axis (Y - Y) of the nozzle tip (11) and having its front end opening (24) centrally formed in a front end fare (33) of the nozzle tip (11), an outer periphery of a forward end portion of said each nozzle tip (11) being tapered, angle of taper (α) thereof being 16° - 24°.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 266 words
An atomizer nozzle assembly including a nozzle body (1) having a plurality of nozzle heads (10) arranged in equally spaced relation around a longitudinal axis (X - X) thereof, each of the nozzle heads (10) having a mounting hole (14), a nozzle tip (11) mounted in said each mounting hole (14) and having a liquid passage hole (23) opening at the front end thereof, an air jet passage (18) defined between said each mounting hole (14) and the outer periphery of said each nozzle tip (11), the nozzle tips (11) being so arranged that their respective longitudinal axes (Y - Y) converge at a point (A) on said longitudinal axis (X - X), whereby as currents of compressed air are caused to jet out toward the point (A) on said longitudinal axis (X - X) passing through the air jet passages (18), they suck liquid thereinto through the respective front end openings of the liquid passage holes (23) to form jet streams of a gas-liquid mixture so that the jet streams impinge against one another at the point (A) on said longitudinal axis (X - X), thereby producing an ultra fine mist of liquid, characterizing in that the liquid passage hole (23) of said each nozzle tip (11) extending along the longitudinal axis (Y - Y) of the nozzle tip (11) and having its front end opening (24) centrally formed in a front end fare (33) of the nozzle tip (11), an outer periphery of a forward end portion of said each nozzle tip (11) being tapered, angle of taper (α) thereof being 16° - 24°.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
An atomizer nozzle assembly as set forth in claim 1, wherein said forward end portion of said each nozzle tip (11) projects from the front end (34) of said each nozzle head (10), the length of said projection being 0.3 - 0.8 mm.
