Abstract

PCT No. PCT/IB94/00118 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 22, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 22, 1995 PCT Filed May 20, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/27729 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 8, 1994A nozzle sleeve (1) contains supply channels (2), feeding channels (3, 5, 22, 24), concentric channels (4, 6), tangential channels (8) and a ring-shaped channel (7), as well as a core (13) which covers the various channels, so hermetically that they form ducts into which a liquid flows and is pushed in a predetermined direction of rotation into the large concentric channel (4), then flows in the opposite direction of rotation into the small concentric channel (6) and finally flows once again in the predetermined direction of rotation through the feeding channels (5) and reaches a ring-shaped channel (7) from where it is sprayed out through the bore (9) of the nozzle sleeve (1). The changes in the direction or rotation cause turbulences which represent a braking force for the liquid flowing under pressure. The intensity of this braking force is directly proportional to the liquid pressure, so that the rate of flow per unit of time is held at least approximately constant.

Description

Vorliegende Erfindung hat zum Gegenstand eine Spritzdüse für die Regulierung der Durchflussmenge pro Zeiteinheit, bestehend aus einer Düsenhülse und einem Düsenkern, der im Innern der Düsenhülse gelagert ist. Solche Spritzdüsen können u.a. bei mechanischen Spraysystemen eingesetzt werden, wie z.B. bei Zerstäuberpumpen oder Spraydosen, die als Treibkraft komprimierte Gase wie Luft oder Stickstoff, oder lösliche Gase wie CO2 oder N2O verwenden, wobei die erfindungsgemässe Spritzdüse, neben einer Feinstzerstäubung von Flüssigkeiten, auch die Ausstossmenge pro Zeiteinheit zumindest annähernd konstant hält und dies, obwohl der Druck, bei Verwendung der vorgenannten Gase, während der Entleerung der Dose sinkt.The present invention relates to a spray nozzle for regulating the flow rate per unit of time, consisting of a nozzle sleeve and a nozzle core, which is mounted inside the nozzle sleeve. Such spray nozzles can be used, inter alia, in mechanical spray systems, such as, for example, in atomizer pumps or spray cans which use compressed gases such as air or nitrogen as the driving force, or soluble gases such as CO 2 or N 2 O, the spray nozzle according to the invention, in addition to fine atomization of liquids, the output quantity per unit of time also remains at least approximately constant and this, although the pressure drops when the aforementioned gases are used, during the emptying of the can.

Das Bewusstwerden der Notwendigkeit, die Umwelt zu schonen, also zu schützen, führt u.a. zur Fragestellung, ob man nicht einen Grossteil der z.Zt. eingesetzten Lösungsmittel, wie Alkohole, Kohlenwasserstoffe, Trichloräthylen, 1.1.1. Trichloräthan usw. mit Wasser ersetzen und statt Flüssiggase als Treibkraft nur Druckluft verwenden kann.Awareness of the need to protect the environment protect, i.e. protect, leads among other things to the question, whether you can’t solvents used, such as alcohols, hydrocarbons, trichlorethylene, 1.1.1. Replace trichloroethane etc. with water and Use only compressed air as the driving force instead of liquid gases can.

Bekannterweise führt Druckluft zu einer Druckminderung in einer Dose durch das beim Entleeren immer grösser werdende Leervolumen der Dose. Es gibt komplexe Regelsysteme, die diesen Nachteil zum grössten Teil ausschalten, aber die bei der Massenherstellung zu Problemen, wie Montagetaktzeiten oder Präzisionsmangel führen.As is known, compressed air leads to a reduction in pressure in a can due to the increasing in size when emptying Empty volume of the can. There are complex control systems who largely eliminate this disadvantage, but problems with mass production such as assembly cycle times or lack of precision.

Wasser verdunstet nur langsam bei einer Tröpfchengrösse von mehr als 50 Mikron, Grösse, die bisher nur mit Hochpräzisionsdüsen mit mechanischer Aufspaltung erreicht wird, was aber schon als sehr fein bewertet werden muss, aber nicht diejenige Tröpfchengrösse erreicht, die aus der explosionsartigen Entspannung von Flüssiggas wie Propan, Butan oder Dimethyläther im Kontakt mit dem atmosphärischen Druck resultiert.Water evaporates slowly with a droplet size of more than 50 microns, size that was previously only available with High precision nozzles with mechanical splitting achieved will, which must be rated as very fine, but does not reach the droplet size that results from the explosive expansion of liquid gas such as propane, Butane or dimethyl ether in contact with the atmospheric Pressure results.

In der EP-A-0.000.688 ist eine Spritzdüse beschrieben, die die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1 beinhaltet. Bei dieser Spritzdüse münden Speisekanäle in Rundlaufkanäle, wobei die Einmündung aller Speisekanäle in die Rundlaufkanäle stets in derselben Drehrichtung erfolgt. Mit dieser Anordnung kann die Tröpfchengrösse nicht genügend klein gehalten werden und dies insbesondere bei grösserem Dosendruck.EP-A-0.000.688 describes a spray nozzle which includes the features of the preamble of claim 1. With this spray nozzle feed channels open Concentric channels, the confluence of all feed channels in the concentric channels always take place in the same direction of rotation. With this arrangement the droplet size cannot be kept sufficiently small, especially when higher can pressure.

Es ist die Aufgabe der erfindungsgemässen Spritzdüse einerseits, 70% der Gesamtausstossmenge pro Zeiteinheit mit einer Tröpfchengrösse von weniger als 40 Mikron abzugeben und andererseits, das Sinken der Ausstossmenge vom höchsten bis zum tiefsten Dosendruck so gering wie möglich zu halten, vorzugsweise weniger als 20% Prozentsatz, den man auch bei den herkömmlichen Aerosoldosen mit Flüssiggas findet.It is the task of the spray nozzle according to the invention on the one hand, 70% of the total output per unit of time dispense with a droplet size of less than 40 microns and on the other hand, the decrease in the amount of emissions from highest to lowest can pressure as low as possible hold, preferably less than 20% percentage one also with the conventional aerosol cans with liquid gas finds.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Spritzdüse für die Regulierung der Durchflussmenge pro Zeiteinheit gelöst, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass Zuführkanäle in erste Speisekanäle münden, die in einer Drehrichtung liegend einen ersten Rundlaufkanal speisen, dass von diesem in umgekehrter Drehrichtung zur vorangehenden Drehrichtung, zumindest zweite Speisekanäle ausmünden und mit einer Bohrung in Verbindung stehen.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a spray nozzle for regulating the flow rate per unit of time solved, which is characterized in that feed channels open into the first feed channels that run in one direction feed a first rotary channel lying that from this in the opposite direction to the previous one Direction of rotation, open out at least second feed channels and communicate with a hole.

Vorteilhafterweise können die zweiten Speisekanäle gegen innen zumindest mit einem zweiten Rundlaufkanal verbunden sein, der zumindest mittels dritten Speisekanälen mit einem inneren Ringkanal in Verbindung steht, welcher mit der Bohrung verbunden ist, wobei die auf entgegengesetzten Seiten eines Rundlaufkanals angeordneten Speisekanäle in entgegengesetzer Richtung schrägwinklig zur Radialrichtung verlaufen.Advantageously, the second feed channels connected to the inside at least with a second rotary channel be at least by means of third feed channels is connected to an inner ring channel, which is connected to the bore, the opposite on Feed channels arranged on the sides of a rotary channel in the opposite direction at an angle to the radial direction run.

Dadurch wird eine besonders kleine Tröpfchengrösse und eine möglichst konstante Durchflussmenge erreicht.This makes a particularly small droplet size and the flow rate is as constant as possible.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der erste Rundlaufkanal ein Siebeneck ist, während der zweite Rundlaufkanal ein Fünfeck bildet, dass der erste Rundlaufkanal mit sieben ersten Speisekanälen und der zweite Rundlaufkanal mit fünf zweiten Speisekanälen gespiesen wird und dass, vom zweiten Rundlaufkanal ausmündend, drei als Tangentialkanäle ausgebildete dritte Speisekanäle in den Ringkanal einmünden.An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that that the first round channel is a heptagon, while the second concentric channel forms a pentagon that the first rotary channel with seven first feed channels and the second rotary channel with five second feed channels is fed and that, by the second round channel opening, three third designed as tangential channels Open the feed channels into the ring channel.

Diese Anordnung ergibt eine besonders wirksame Arbeitsweise und einen originellen Aufbau.This arrangement results in a particularly effective way of working and an original structure.

In einer Variante ist zumindest der erste Rundlaufkanal mit Verengungen versehen, zu denen, im wesentlichen senkrecht zu ihnen stehend, Luftkanäle vorgesehen sind, die mit der Aussenluft über Bohrungen in Verbindung stehen.In one variant, there is at least the first rotary channel with constrictions to which, essentially standing perpendicular to them, air ducts are provided, which are connected to the outside air through holes.

Bedingt durch ein Ansaugen der Aussenluft unter VENTURI-Effekt wird eine hohe Zerstäubung erreicht.Due to a suction of the outside air under VENTURI effect high atomization is achieved.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand wird nachstehend ausführlich beschrieben und mit vorteilhaften, nicht einschränkenden Ausführungsbeispielen bildlich dargestellt.The subject matter of the invention will be described in detail below described and with advantageous, non-limiting Illustrated embodiments.

Es ist bekannt, dass ein turbulentes Fliessen einer Flüssigkeit stromabwärts zu einer Drucksenkung führt, wobei die Wandbeschaffenheit einer Leitung und die Geschwindigkeit der Strömung eine Rolle spielen. Ferner führen winklige Ablenkungen durch Bildung von Turbulenzen zu einer grösseren Drucksenkung als Anlenkungen mit einem Radius.It is known that turbulent flow is a Liquid downstream leads to a drop in pressure, where the wall texture of a pipe and the speed play a role in the current. Further cause angular distractions by creating turbulence to a greater reduction in pressure than articulations with one Radius.

Da die Geschwindigkeit einer Strömung vom Druck abhängig ist, unter dem eine Flüssigkeit steht und eine hohe Geschwindigkeit zu einer hohen Drucksenkung und eine kleinere Geschwindigkeit zu einer nicht mehr so hohen Drucksenkung führt, kann man daraus schliessen, dass die Resultate "Ausstossmenge einer Flüssigkeit in Zeiteinheit" bei hohem Druck, also hoher Geschwindigkeit, wegen der daraus resultierenden Drucksenkung nicht grösser ist als diejenige, die aus einer Geschwindigkeitsminderung und somit Drucksenkung resultiert, sodass es, trotz Sinken des Druckes, unter dem eine Flüssigkeit steht, zu einer praktisch konstantbleibenden Ausstossmenge pro Zeiteinheit kommt.Because the speed of a flow depends on the pressure is under which there is a liquid and a high one Speed to a high pressure drop and a smaller one Speed to a lower pressure drop leads one to conclude that the results "Ejection quantity of a liquid in unit time" high pressure, so high speed, because of the result resulting pressure drop is not greater than that that from a slowdown and thus Pressure drop results, so that, despite the sinking of the Pressure, under which a liquid stands, to a practical constant output per unit of time is coming.

Die erfindungsgemässe Spritzdüse ist so konzipiert, dass sie mittels brüsken Änderungen der Strömungsrichtung einer unter Druck stehenden Flüssigkeit, Turbulenzen hervorruft, die einerseits die Ausstossmenge pro Zeiteinheit derart beeinflussen, dass sie, zumindest annähernd konstant bleibt und die andererseits, mittels einem äusserst heftigen Aufspalten der Flüssigkeit, diese feinst zerstäubt. Dadurch wird die Oberfläche der fein zerstäubten Flüssigkeit grösser als diejenige, die gröbere Tröpfchen aufweisen, wie dies bei den bekannten Spritzdüsen der Fall ist. Diese grössere Tropfchenoberfläche führt zu einer schnelleren Verdunstung, äusserst wichtig bei der Verwendung von Wasser als Lösungsmittel.The spray nozzle according to the invention is designed that by means of brusque changes in flow direction a pressurized liquid that causes turbulence, on the one hand the output quantity per unit of time influence in such a way that they are, at least approximately constant remains and the other hand, by means of an extremely violent splitting of the liquid, this atomized very finely. This will finely atomize the surface Liquid larger than that, the coarser droplets have, as is the case with the known spray nozzles is. This larger droplet surface leads to a faster evaporation, extremely important when using of water as a solvent.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt die Innenseite einer Düsenhülse, die Zuführkanäle 2 aufweist, über die eine nicht dargestellte Flüssigkeit in Speisekanäle 3 gelangt, die in einen grossen Rundlaufkanal 4 münden. Der Einlaufsinn der Speisekanäle 3 ist hier in umgekehrtem Uhrzeigersinn gewählt. Aus dem Rundlaufkanal 4 ausmündend, laufen Speisekanäle 5, diesmal im Uhrzeigersinn, in Richtung eines kleinen Rundlaufkanals 6. Im Zentrum der Düsenhülse 1 befindet sich ein Ringkanal 7, in welchen, diesmal wiederum im umgekehrten Uhrzeigersinn, Tangentialkanäle 8 einmünden. Um die Bohrung 9 der Düsenhülse 1 befindet sich eine Wulst 10, die die Aufspaltung einer Flüssigkeit günstigst beeinflusst. Die Düsenhülse 1 ist mit einer Vertiefung 11 versehen, die zur Verteilung einer nicht dargestellten Flüssigkeit zu den Zuführkanälen 2 dient.Fig. 1 shows the inside of a nozzle sleeve, the Has feed channels 2, via which a not shown Liquid enters feed channels 3, which in a large Rotary channel 4 open. The inlet direction of the feed channels 3 is selected here in a clockwise direction. Starting from the concentric duct 4, feed ducts 5 run, this time clockwise, in the direction of a small rotary channel 6. In the center of the nozzle sleeve 1 is a ring channel 7, in which, this time again in reverse Clockwise, open tangential channels 8. To the Bore 9 of the nozzle sleeve 1 is a bead 10, which has the most beneficial effect on the splitting of a liquid. The nozzle sleeve 1 is provided with a recess 11, to distribute a liquid, not shown to the feed channels 2.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt ein Ausgabeelement 12 mit einem Kern 13, der in der Düsenhülse 1 gelagert ist. Der Kern 13 ist mit einem Hohlraum 14 versehen, der sich in Fluchtrichtung mit einer Bohrung 15 des Ausgabeelementes 12 befindet. Der Hohlraum 14 dient dazu, eine Verformung der Stirnseite des Kern 13 zu vermeiden, wenn das Ausgabeelement 12 im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt wird, denn die Stirnseite des Kerns 13 muss so eben wie möglich sein, um die Speisekanäle 3 und 5, die Rundlaufkanäle 4 und 6, die Tangentialkanäle 8 und den Ringkanal 7 so zu verdecken, dass diese zu Leitungen werden und jegliches Ueberschwappen aus den Kanälen vermieden wird.3 shows an output element 12 with a core 13, which is mounted in the nozzle sleeve 1. The core is 13 provided with a cavity 14 which is in the direction of escape with a bore 15 of the output element 12. Of the Cavity 14 serves to deform the end face of the Core 13 to avoid when the output element 12 in Injection molding process is made for the face The core 13 must be as level as possible around the feed channels 3 and 5, the concentric channels 4 and 6, the tangential channels 8 and to cover the ring channel 7 so that these become lines and any sloshing out the channels is avoided.

Das Ausgabeelement ist mit einem Hauptkanal 16 versehen, von dem Bohrungen 17 und 18 in die Vertiefung 11 der Düsenhülse 1 münden, von wo aus eine nicht dargestellte Flüssigkeit über die verschiedenen Kanäle der Düsenhülse 1 bis zu deren Bohrung 9 gelangt und dort zerstäubt ausgestossen wird.The output element is provided with a main channel 16, from the bores 17 and 18 into the recess 11 the nozzle sleeve 1 open, from where a not shown Liquid through the different channels of the nozzle sleeve 1 reaches their bore 9 and atomizes there is expelled.

Die Figur 4 zeigt eine äusserst vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemässen Spritzdüse. Sie zeigt die Innenzeite einer Düsenhülse 19 mit einer Vertiefung 20. Die Düsenhülse 19 weist einen grossen siebeneckigen Rundlaufkanal 21 auf, in dessen Ecken, hier in umgekehrtem Uhrzeigersinn, Speisekanäle 22 einmünden, die in Fluchtrichtung mit den Seiten des grossen Rundlaufkanals 21 liegen. Stromabwärts befindet sich ein kleiner, fünfeckiger Rundlaufkanal 23, in dessen Ecken, vom grossen Rundlaufkanal 21 diesmal im Uhrzeigersinn kommend, Speisekanäle 24 einmünden, die in Fluchtrichtung mit den Seiten des kleinen Rundlaufkanals 23 liegen. In einen zentralen Ringkanal 25 münden, wiederum in umgekehrtem Uhrzeigersinn, vom kleinen Rundlaufkanal kommend, Speisekanäle 26, die eine Tangente mit dem Ringkanal 25 bilden. FIG. 4 shows an extremely advantageous embodiment the spray nozzle according to the invention. It shows the Inside time of a nozzle sleeve 19 with a depression 20. The nozzle sleeve 19 has a large hexagonal Rotary channel 21 on, in the corners, here in reverse Clockwise, feed channels 22 open in the direction of escape lie with the sides of the large rotary duct 21. Downstream is a small, pentagonal one Rundlaufkanal 23, in its corners, from the large Rundlaufkanal 21 coming this time clockwise, feed channels 24 flow out in the direction of escape with the sides of the small Rotary channel 23 are. In a central ring channel 25 open, again in a clockwise direction, from coming small round channel, feed channels 26, one Form tangent with the ring channel 25.

Allgemein ist die Tiefe der Düsenhülse so gewählt, dass sie den Hohlraum 14 des Düsenkerns 13 und die Bohrung 15 des Ausgabeelementes 13 hermetisch verschliesst, sodass dort kein Leck enstehen kann.In general, the depth of the nozzle sleeve is chosen so that they have the cavity 14 of the nozzle core 13 and the bore 15 of the output element 13 hermetically seals, so that there can be no leak.

Die Fig. 5 zeigt eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemässen Spritzdüse deren Düsenhülse 27 einen grossen Rundlaufkanal 28 aufweist, der mit Verengungen 29 versehen ist, in welche, senkrecht zu ihnen stehend Luftkanäle 30 münden, die über Bohrungen 31 mit der Aussenluft in Verbindung stehen. Diese Verengungen 29 verwirklichen einen VENTURI-Effekt, wobei eine durch die Verengungen 29 beschleunigt fliessende Flüssigkeit, über die Luftkanäle 30 und deren Bohrungen 31 Aussenluft ansaugt und mit der Flüssigkeit vermischt, wonach die angesaugte Luft in den nachfolgenden kleineren Kanälen in der Flüssigkeit komprimiert wird, sodass sie sich beim Verlassen der Bohrung 9 im Kontakt mit dem atmosphärischen Druck explosionsartig entspannt und so die bereits mechanisch zerstäubte Flüssigkeit in noch kleinere Tröpfchen zersprengt.5 shows an embodiment of the invention Spray nozzle whose nozzle sleeve 27 a large one Has concentric channel 28, which is provided with constrictions 29 is in which, perpendicular to them, air channels 30 open out through holes 31 in connection with the outside air stand. These constrictions 29 realize one VENTURI effect, one accelerated by the constrictions 29 flowing liquid, via the air channels 30 and whose holes 31 sucks in outside air and with the Liquid mixed, after which the sucked air in the subsequent smaller channels compressed in the liquid so that it leaves 9 explosive in contact with atmospheric pressure relaxes and so the already mechanically atomized liquid burst into even smaller droplets.

Statt die Luftkanäle auf der Stirnseite der Düsenhülse 27 über die Bohrungen 31 ausmünden zu lassen, kann man die Luftkanäle 30 axial so verlängern, wie es die gestrichelten Linien 32 zeigen und diese dann mit senkrecht zu ihnen stehenden Kanälen 33 verbinden, die mit der Aussenluft in Verbindung stehen.Instead of the air channels on the face of the nozzle sleeve 27 to open out through the holes 31, you can Extend air ducts 30 axially as shown in dashed lines Show lines 32 and then perpendicular to them connect standing channels 33 which in with the outside air Connect.

Die erfindungsgemässe Spritzdüse ist natürlich nicht auf die Verwendung in einem Ausgabeelement 12 beschränkt. Sie kann überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo eine Flüssigkeit zerstäubt werden muss, die unter einem variablen Druck stehen, wie z.B. Berieselungsanlagen, Feuerwehrspritzen usw., wobei dann ein unabhängiger Düsenkern 13 in eine Düsenhülse 1 eingepresst ist, die dann zusammen in einem Rohrteil gelagert sind, das an Rohr- oder Schlauchleitungen angeschlossen werden kann.The spray nozzle according to the invention is of course not limited to use in an output element 12. It can be used wherever there is a liquid must be atomized under a variable Under pressure, such as Sprinklers, fire engines etc., where then an independent nozzle core 13 in a nozzle sleeve 1 is pressed, which then together in a pipe part are stored on pipe or hose lines can be connected.

In einer vereinfachten Ausführungsart weist die Spritzdüse erste Speisekanäle, die in einer Drehrichtung liegend einen ersten Rundlaufkanal speisen, und nur zweite Speisekanäle, die von diesem in umgekehrter Drehrichtung zur vorangehenden Drehrichtungen ausmünden und mit der Ausgangsbohrung in Verbindung stehen. In dieser Ausführungsart bestehen also nur zwei Speisekanalfamilien, wobei die innere über einen Ringkanal oder direkt mit der Bohrung verbunden sein kann.In a simplified embodiment, the Spray nozzle first feed channels in one direction feed a first rotary channel lying flat, and only a second one Feeders from this in reverse direction open to the previous direction of rotation and with the Exit bore are in communication. In this embodiment there are only two feeder channel families, the inner one via a ring channel or directly with the Hole can be connected.

Für gewisse Anwendungen kann es auch vorteilhaft sein, die Spritzdüse mit mehr als drei ineinander angeordnete Speisekanalfamilien und mehr als zwei Rundlaufkanäle zu versehen.For certain applications it can also be advantageous the spray nozzle with more than three nested Feeder channel families and more than two rotary channels Mistake.
