Nozzle arrangement in a device for drying vehicles

摘要

The invention relates to a nozzle arrangement, comprising a nozzle body (1) forming a cavity which can be supplied with air, and a slit part (3) which is connected to the nozzle body (1) and, in a device for drying vehicles, can be moved relative to the vehicle to be dried. The nozzle movement is controlled in a known manner by following the contours of the vehicle. In order to reduce the risk of damage should the nozzle arrangement, as it moves relative to the vehicle, collide therewith and to make the control of the nozzle movement easier and more reliable, the invention proposes that the nozzle body (1) be formed at least partly from a flexible, air-impermeable material. In a further development of the invention it is proposed that the cavity of the nozzle body (1) have a conical shape, the cross-sectional contour of the cavity and the width (b) of the slit of the slit part (3) being dimensioned such that the speed of flow of the air in the cavity is greater than zero and there is a positive pressure profile over the entire length of the slit part (3). As a result, the air emerges in an oblique direction out of the slit part. <IMAGE>
