摘要

The invention relates to an atomiser, in particular for inhalation therapy. The atomisation chamber 1 is closed at the bottom by a liquid collecting area 2. The liquid mist is sucked by the patient via a suction nozzle 4 from the atomisation chamber 1. The mixing and homogenisation process is very effectively supported, according to the invention, by the atomisation chamber partition 6 by which a part 1a of the atomisation chamber 1 located in the immediate vicinity of the opening of the suction nozzle 4 is divided off to a predetermined extent from the remaining part 1b of the atomisation chamber 1. The essential feature of the atomisation chamber partition, according to the invention, in the atomisation chamber is its function as a baffle plate which prevents excessively large liquid droplets from being carried along into the opening of the suction nozzle and leads to separation or deposition of the excessively large liquid droplets, and hence to homogenisation of the liquid mist. Additionally and supplementarily, the atomisation chamber partition also serves as a guiding element which influences the air flow in the atomisation chamber and increases the flow path in order to achieve improved mixing in this way.
