Shown in operation passage 22 be the horizontal channel basically, and the roller 44 of last menifold, under 45 situations about being bonded on the upper surface 48 of pending object 11, roller 44,45 weight can be utilized for pending object 11 fixing effect is provided, with the jet that make progress of antagonism from distributor 18.In a kind of like this example, the axle 46,47 that is respectively applied for roller 44,45 can be contained in the upright slotted hole 53,54, as shown in the figure.
In addition, can notice that referring to Fig. 4 a plurality of breach 55 that roughly are spaced apart from each other along plate 40 can have the roller of admitting with gap from its process 44,45 between sidewall 26, thereby can not contact that part of plate 40 that is limited by breach 55.So just can allow with roller 44,45 adorn be close to opening 41,42 with 43 with identical opening on the nozzle plate of distributor 18 on operation passage 22 opposed (descending) side.
The structure, operation, adjusting etc. that from Fig. 3, can see distributor 18 significantly be basically with 17 identical, therefore the description to it has not just here repeated.Yet,, generally just do not need to be provided with as 53 and 54 in order to (up or down) that promote the post that lower roll is mounted thereto upright slotted hole that moves along with the operation of distributor in upper and lower of object operation passage; Above described be that a kind of gravity that utilizes guarantees function on the upper surface 48 of top roll contact at object 11 about top roll 44,45 and they in the phenomenon of the ability that moves up of slotted hole 53,54.
Also clearly, except fluid passes the details that nozzle plate discharges, distributor 20,21 textural and install generally all identical with distributor 17 and 18, thereby above to be used for being described in of distributor 17 suitable too here.
Referring to shown in Fig. 4 about the diagram of nozzle plate 40, cut partly in its lower end though can see plate 40, it is actually basically extends between the sidewall 26 of this equipment fully.
Illustrated plate 40 has and has upper and lower surperficial 55,56 of the upstream and downstream surface portion 57 of cutting sth. askew respectively and 58.Beveled surface part 57 enters between a pair of opposed plate 40 object easily, and beveled surface 58 enters easily by being positioned at straight nozzle 61 air with embarking on journey, canted nozzle 60 between 62 forward or in the partial vacuum that swabbing action caused that causes of upstream jet, this will give more detailed discussion hereinafter.This suction to air will be towards the direction of 63 indications of arrow among Fig. 5, so that the partial vacuum that liquid caused that wadding warp is given off by canted nozzle 60 and liquid 60 is flow through easily according to the printed circuit board (PCB) that transports from updrift side to downstream direction of arrow among Fig. 5 64 or the upper surface of other object.
As can be seen, nozzle 61 is arranged to transverse to moving passage longitudinally with being into delegation and extends, and is approximately perpendicular to and moves passage 22 longitudinally and orientation.Each nozzle of embarking on journey 61 comprises a larger-diameter cylindrical shape blind hole district 65 in the upper end, and this blind hole district is connecting a cylindrical shape taper 66 in its lower section, and this taper is connected with a transverse concave groove 67 again.Transverse concave groove extends along the lower surface 56 of plate 40 fully, is connecting the jet hole of nozzle region 66, as shown in Figure 4.District's cylindrical shape convergent tapering " a " of 66 be cross diameter in 100 ° to 160 ° scope, preferably about 120 °.As shown in Fig. 5 A, transverse concave groove 67 has an angle " b " in 30 ° to 90 ° scopes, preferably about 60 °.
Be applied to by chosen that the liquid stream development of launching from transversely arranged nozzle in groups 61 is become from nozzle 61 of the pressure on nozzle 61 and a plurality of nozzles 61 scattered liquid spaced intermediate and be roughly columniform wire fluid column 68, and groove 67 connects a plurality of little fluid columns and becomes one and be roughly flat, transversely arranged plane tentiform liquid spraying is Gu and groove 67 can easily form the fan-shaped liquid spraying from single-nozzle 61 a described tentiform spraying.
Preferably, except the nozzle 61 of embarking on journey, also have delegation to be arranged on its downstream, also at the identical or substantially the same nozzle 62 in canted nozzle 60 downstreams, this will give description hereinafter.Each nozzle 60 is generally all alike with nozzle 61, has a blind hole as the blind hole 65 of nozzle 61, this blind hole is joined in its lower end and a cylindrical shape tapered portion, this tapered portion is connected groove 70 with one again and joins, this groove is connecting a plurality of nozzles 60, but difference is also arranged, promptly connect groove 70 and several nozzle region 60 for the discharge liquid of updrift side be tilt angled, preferably about 75 ° of the angle " C " that this and horizontal direction form, as shown in Figure 5.It is further noted that to be exactly that this causes the partial vacuum of the air stream that is 63 directions via the spraying of nozzle 60 towards the upstream, just disseminate along the direction of its channel flow along updrift side from the liquid of nozzle 60,61 and 62 facing to object so that promote.
Referring now to Fig. 6 and 7,, shown the multi-aperture gas distributor nozzle plate that is associated with gas (generally being air) distribution station 16 among the figure.Except nozzle plate 74, the remainder of distributor 20,21 is generally also all according to the design setting of distributor 17,18, as previously mentioned.Each nozzle plate 74 has a plurality of breach 75, and the function of this breach is identical with the breach 55 of plate among aforesaid Fig. 4.In addition, according to embodiment discussed above, each piece plate 74 extends between sidewall 26 transverse to this equipment equally, and has upper and lower surperficial 76,77 and the bottom upstream and the upstream face part 78,80 of cutting sth. askew.
Yet plate 74 is provided with a plurality of slotted holes 81 that are arranged in lateral rows along plate 74, as shown in the figure.Slotted hole is separated by a plurality of horizontal spacing 82.Slotted hole 81 is connected by a transverse concave groove 83 on the lower surface 77 of plate 74.Groove 83 is perpendicular to the vertical flow channel of object of process in its lower section, and it is in one to four times the scope of the width (size that the flute profile Kongzui is lacked) weighed in the vertical of slotted hole 81 that its degree of depth is upwards weighed from surface 77.This is only size.
The groove 83 of keeping " d " dimension width among Fig. 6 is convenient to keep air or other gas passes each slotted hole 81 discharging, thereby feasible direction towards arrow 84 from this place, air perpendicular to the downward emission of the object flow channel 22 below it will be a plurality of spaced, the form of the plane flow area of transversal orientation.
A plurality of nozzles 85 also are arranged to a lateral rows, as shown in Fig. 6 and 7, equally also comprise spaced slotted hole as shown in the figure, also be arranged to from its emission, relative each slotted hole, a lateral dimension " d " towards the spaced transverse plane flow area of object operation passage.Yet, from air stream or other gas stream that nozzle 85 is launched, the component with a updrift side, this is because pass through the orientation that oblique angle otch " e " forms, as shown in Figure 7, cut an one-tenth about angle of 30 ° " e " in the surface 77 at this place's groove 86.
In addition, can notice that the slotted hole 81 of embarking on journey to agent with respect to groove 83 with the slotted hole 85 of 86 one-tenth row alignments of groove is " to stagger " mutually, thereby slotted hole 85 aligns with spacing 82 in the vertical, and slotted hole 81 aligns with spacing 89 in the vertical.Therefore be subjected to object that air or other gas stream handles when it slotted hole 81 times through out-of-date on the pending object surface longitudinally the district in the imagination do not run into continuous single air curtain at first with 90, but, see a plurality of parallel upright plane air curtains, then see a plurality of air curtain (see figure 2)s via slotted hole 85.
A plurality of cylinder-shaped holes 92 that the groove 93 by lower surface 77 shown in Fig. 6 it is further noted that in 7 is connected help to increase extra air-flow on pending object.In addition, the random cylinder-shaped hole 94 of another row can be arranged on the downstream of plate 74, perpendicular to object flow channel 22 extensions of process in its lower section, is connected by a transverse concave groove 95, as shown in Figure 7.Should also be noted that hole 94 and groove 95 are not presented among Fig. 6, this only is arbitrarily to be provided with because of them.
Referring now to Fig. 8,, there is shown the another kind arrangement that is used for gas or other air discharging distributor 120,121 to occur by the entrained upper and lower nozzle plate form of relevant menifold.The slotted hole 181,185 of embarking on journey and their corresponding low grooves 183,186 groove with the slotted hole of embarking on journey 81,85 of top just Fig. 6 and 7 described embodiment and associated basically are identical, have therefore just no longer repeated here.Yet, should be noted that the upstream orientation via jet hole 185 and 186 air discharged of groove that are associated will cause one by the partial vacuum shown in the arrow 190.The lower surface 177 of plate 174 is domatics in this embodiment, rather than is parallel to the flow channel 22 of the object that is transported from this process, so it is assembled from an one downstream part 180 towards its upstream portion 178.Such convergence has increased the air speed when through hole 200 that is transported from the object 111 of this process of flowing through.If the upper and lower slotted hole on the upper and lower plate 174 is laterally to stagger mutually, thereby given hole by or from last slotted hole or the air impact that gives off from slotted hole down, but not when being subjected to the bump of the two air simultaneously, the effect that a pump is inhaled will appear, air will or make progress or this slotted hole 200 of flowing through downwards thus, but is not interior at one time mobile towards both direction.This by on upper and lower plate 174, being oppositely arranged upper and lower slotted hole, by convergence plane 177 cause high-speed, and the pump-absorb action that caused of tilting discharging groove 186 helps to make fluid to pass through hole 200 up and down to flow.
Referring now to Fig. 9 and 10,, can see one with the nozzle plate 300 shown in the vertically upright cross section, it comprises a nozzle base part 301 and the nozzle segment that can remove 302 of establishing within it, some of nozzle base parts are sentenced horizontal dove tail joggle mode 303 and 304 and are covered on the nozzle segment removed partly, as shown in Figure 9, its joint that forms thus 305,306 extend in the horizontal, and the transverse elasticity body seal 307 of O shape ring type, 308 can remove part 302 is sealed on the base part 301, as shown in the figure.Can see that nozzle bore 310 is inclusive in the removable nozzle segment 302.Therefore, the fluid preferably liquid can be as shown in Figure 9, makes progress flow nozzle along the direction of arrow 311, and discharge from aperture 310, and its mode as described above.
Yet, under the situation of the film of take place to form handling material or delamination, big parts that will equipment for those parts that contain aperture of washer jet plate immediately just can remove removable nozzle segment 302 down in order to cleaning or similar operations when doing big dismounting.
Clearly, though the top nozzle plate that only shows 300, one same general structures of a following nozzle plate among the figure usually with regard to side disposed thereon, it is then mediate and from left to right that pending object transports passage, or extend from right to left, as shown in Figure 9.
Referring to Figure 10, can see in each end of removable nozzle segment 302 and be provided with end plate 312, generally be to be fastened on the nozzle base part 301 with suitable securing member 313, as shown in the figure, it is whole on its periphery by the general O shape ring 314 that is connecting vertical setting of seal 307 and 308 that plate 312 carries plate 302 to be sealed in.Clearly, seal 307,308 and 314 also can comprise independent seal, will also can comprise an independent annular seal for no reason if perhaps be ready.In addition, though only demonstrate an end plate 312 and seal 314 among Figure 10, a common similar plate and seal can be arranged on the opposite end of removable plate portion 302 certainly.
Therefore, clearly this removable plate portion can be removed down immediately so that clean or other similar operations, and they also can be ressembled in this equipment immediately.In addition clearly, dove tail joggle 305,306 will firmly fix this can remove part 302, along the fluid that arrow 311 directions flow, generally is the power that liquid (though perhaps also can be gas) is acted on antagonism.
Referring now to Figure 11-13,, can see that a nozzle plate 400 is provided with a plurality of nozzles 401, the transverse concave groove 402 that nozzle stretches into aperture 404 by one with the degree of depth 403 and has a vertical width D 1 is connected, and the tilting side of groove 402 has an angle " f " betwixt, as shown in Figure 11.In Figure 11, the center line of the center line of groove 402 and nozzle bore or mouth 404 is the same single lines that indicate with 405.
Referring to Figure 12, can see that liquid is in the mode of the fluid column 407 that schematically illustrates from the aperture 404 of nozzle in Figure 12, along shown in the direction of arrow 406 upwards discharge along center line 405, this all is identical for each nozzle bore in the many nozzle bores 404 that connected by transverse concave groove 402.With the discharging angle and 408 one-tenth 90 ° of nozzle surfaces of the fluid column 407 of " g " mark, this is identical with the vertical flow channel angulation of object between the paired nozzle plate 400, i.e. angle " g ".
Referring now to Figure 13,, can see nozzle plate 500 be made into its connecting transverse to the cross central line 505 of a plurality of discharge orifices 504 of this equipment and the center line of the transverse concave groove 502 that is connecting a plurality of nozzle bores 504 transverse to this equipment be positioned at different from position by the object flow channel of device processes.In addition, in Figure 13, can notice that it is an acute angle with horizontal surface 508 angulations " h " that the fluid column 507 of discharging with the direction of arrow 506 schematically is shown from nozzle bore 504, as shown in Figure 13.
