Prior art comparative example: comparative example 1,2,3 is respectively that runner contact angle is fixed as 100 °, 80 ° and 60 °, in the time that induction air flow ratio is 200mL/min, in comparative example 1, water droplet time of staying in the runner of regular length is 25s, comparative example 2 is 60s, and the time of staying of comparative example 3 is greater than 200s.
Embodiments of the invention: as shown in table 2, in the time using the change contact angle runner that improves design, under similarity condition, the time of staying of the water droplet of embodiment in runner obviously shortens.As (the water droplet time of staying is 25s) compared with the comparative example 1 that is fixed as 100 ° with contact angle, adopt the water droplet time of staying corresponding to embodiment 8-10 that change contact angle runner of the present invention does to be respectively 14s, 13s and 12s; Compared with the comparative example 2 that is fixed as 80 ° with contact angle (the water droplet time of staying is 60s), adopt the water droplet time of staying corresponding to embodiment 11-13 that change contact angle runner of the present invention does to be respectively 20s, 18s and 16s; Compared with the comparative example 3 that is fixed as 60 ° with contact angle (water droplet time of staying > 200s), adopt the water droplet time of staying corresponding to embodiment 17-20 that change contact angle runner of the present invention does to be respectively 30s, 28s, 26s and 25s; Water droplet shortening of the time of staying in runner has proved that runner internal drainage efficiency is improved.
As can be seen from the above table:

(2) for change contact angle flow passage structure of the present invention, the segmentation contact angle difference of runner is larger, is more conducive to the orientation strengthening transmission of water droplet, and as embodiment 5-7, along with contact angle difference increases, the water droplet time of staying shortens gradually;
(3), for change contact angle flow passage structure of the present invention, when the contact angle difference of runner segmentation is fixed, the transmission to water that arranges of point segment distance has a certain impact.Piecewise interval near import is longer, and shorter near the piecewise interval of outlet, the time of staying of water droplet in runner is shorter, and as embodiment 10, the piecewise interval of degression type is conducive to the quick discharge of water;
(4) time of staying of water droplet in runner is subject to the combined influence of the various factors such as contact angle difference between constant interval, runner partition length and gradual change rule and the adjacent sectors of contact angle.
