ENCLOSURES FOR FLUIDIC OSCILLATORS

摘要

For those spray applications that use a fluidic oscillator (4) of the type that generates a spray by having a pressurized liquid flow through the oscillator and exhaust into a surrounding environment, and where such an oscillator has a boundary surface (4b) which has fabricated into it a channel (4c) in the form of what is referred to herein as fluidic circuit, an improved enclosure (2) for this oscillator includes: a body (10) having an interior (13) and an exterior (12) surface, wherein a portion of this interior surface (13) is configured to attach to the oscillator boundary surface (4b) so as to form with the oscillator's channel (4c) an enclosed pathway through which the to-be-sprayed liquid may flow, and wherein a segment (23) of this interior surface is configured so as to yield specified properties of the resulting spray.
