Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Düse mit mehreren Bauteilen, die einen Düsendurchgang von einem Düseneingang zu einem Düsenausgang umschließen und fest miteinander verbunden sind, wobei zwei Düsenplatten zwischen zwei Deckplatten befestigt und so auf Abstand zueinander gehalten sind, dass die einander zugekehrten, durch die Stärke der Düsenplatten bestimmten Schmalseiten der Düsenplatten mit den beiden Deckplatten den Düsendurchgang von Düseneingang zum Düsenausgang bilden.The invention relates to a nozzle having a plurality of components, which enclose a nozzle passage from a nozzle inlet to a nozzle exit and are fixedly connected to each other, wherein two nozzle plates are secured between two cover plates and held at a distance from each other, that facing each other, by the strength the nozzle plates certain narrow sides of the nozzle plates with the two cover plates form the nozzle passage from the nozzle inlet to the nozzle outlet.

Einstückige Düsen mit einem runden Düsendurchgang sind in der Herstellung besonders schwierig, wenn die Düsenöffnung und der Düsenausgang besonders klein sein sollen. Noch schwieriger wird die Herstellung, wenn der Düsendurchgang konisch verjüngende Abschnitte und einen Düsenausgang mit Hinterschnitten oder dergleichen haben soll.One-piece nozzles with a round nozzle passage are particularly difficult to manufacture if the nozzle opening and the nozzle outlet are to be particularly small. Manufacturing becomes even more difficult if the nozzle passage is to have conically tapered sections and a nozzle exit with undercuts or the like.

Um die Herstellung von Düsen mit einem Anfangsdurchmesser von unter 5 mm und einem Düsenausgang von unter 2,5 mm zu erleichtern sind auch schon zweiteilige Düsen vorgeschlagen worden, wie die EP 1 323 479 A1 zeigt. Diese bekannte Düse besteht aus einem Düsenkörper, in den im Bereich des Düsenausganges ein Düseneinsatz mit einer Düsenbohrung eingesetzt wird. Dabei erweitert sich der Düsendurchgang im Bereich des Düsenausganges, so dass der Düseneinsatz in diese Erweiterung eingebracht werden kann. Im Anschluss der Düsenöffnung weist der Düseneinsatz dem Düsendurchgang des Düsengrundkörpers zugekehrt eine Erweiterung auf, die bündig mit einer Erweiterung des Düsendurchganges im Düsengrundkörper ist und mit dieser einen Hinterschnitt im Gesamtdüsendurchgang bildet, der damit leicht in die beiden Bauteile der zusammensetzbaren Düse einbringbar ist.In order to facilitate the production of nozzles with an initial diameter of less than 5 mm and a nozzle exit of less than 2.5 mm, two-part nozzles have also been proposed, such as EP 1 323 479 A1 shows. This known nozzle consists of a nozzle body into which a nozzle insert with a nozzle bore is inserted in the region of the nozzle outlet. In this case, the nozzle passage extends in the region of the nozzle outlet, so that the nozzle insert can be introduced into this extension. Following the nozzle opening, the nozzle insert facing the nozzle passage of the nozzle main body has an extension which is flush with an extension of the nozzle passage in the nozzle body and forms an undercut in the overall nozzle passage, which is thus easily introduced into the two components of the nozzle can be assembled.

Bei dieser bekannten Düse ist der Düseneinsatz dicht und festsitzend im Düsengrundkörper einzubringen, was mit zusätzlichem Aufwand verbunden ist. Zudem sind die beiden Düsenteile immer noch aufwendig in der Herstellung.In this known nozzle of the nozzle insert is tight and tightly introduce in the nozzle body, which is associated with additional effort. In addition, the two nozzle parts are still consuming in the production.

Wie die JP 2003 275630 A zeigt, ist eine Düse mit mehreren Bauteilen der eingangs erwähnten Art bekannt, die einen Düsendurchgang von einem Düseneingang zu einem Düsenausgang aufweist, der von zwei Düsenplatten und zwei Deckplatten gebildet wird. Die einander zugekehrten Schmalseiten der beiden Düsenplatten bestimmen mit den abdeckenden Seitenteile der beiden Deckplatten den Düsendurchgang. Der Düsendurchgang hat einen langen, gleich bleibenden Ausgangsabschnitt, so dass die Düse nur einen gleich bleibenden Festkörperstrahl abgeben kann, dessen Wirkung nicht immer ausreichend ist. Die Bauteile sind jedoch einfach herstellbar.As the JP 2003 275630 A shows a nozzle having a plurality of components of the aforementioned type is known, which has a nozzle passage from a nozzle inlet to a nozzle exit, which is formed by two nozzle plates and two cover plates. The mutually facing narrow sides of the two nozzle plates determine with the covering side parts of the two cover plates the nozzle passage. The nozzle passage has a long, consistent output section, so that the nozzle can deliver only a constant solid state, the effect of which is not always sufficient. However, the components are easy to produce.

Wie die US 2005/0252539 A1 zeigt sind runde Erweiterungen im Düsenkanal bekannt, die eine Diffusion des abgegebenen Strahls sorgen. Zudem zeigt die US 4721251 A eine Düse mit rechteckigen Erweiterungen des Düsenkanals, um eine Unterbrechung des abgegebenen Strahls zu erreichen.As the US 2005/0252539 A1 shows round extensions are known in the nozzle channel, which provide a diffusion of the emitted beam. In addition, the shows US 4721251 A a nozzle with rectangular extensions of the nozzle channel to achieve an interruption of the emitted jet.

Es ist mit diesen bekannten Düsen nicht möglich, einen impulsartig unterbrochenen Strahl mit oszillierender Hin- und Herbewegung zu schaffen.It is not possible with these known nozzles to create a pulse-like interrupted beam with oscillating reciprocating motion.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung diese bekannte Düse so weiterzuentwickeln, dass der abgegebene Festkörperstrahl eine oszillierende Hin- und Herbewegung ausführt und dabei impulsartig unterbrochen ist, ohne auf eine leichte Herstellung der Bauteile für die Düse verzichten zu müssen.It is an object of the invention to further develop this known nozzle so that the discharged solid-state beam performs an oscillating reciprocating motion and is interrupted pulse-like, without having to forego easy production of the components for the nozzle.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass in die Teile des Düsenausgangs zusätzliche Hinterschnitte eingebracht sind, die den Düsenausgang bereichsweise erweitern, dass in die Teile des Düsenausgangs im vorgegebenen Abstand von der Öffnung des Düsenausgangs kreisförmige Hinterschnitte eingebracht sind, deren Mittelpunkte im Abstand von den Teilen liegen und deren Radien größer als die Abstände sind und dass im Anschluss an die kreisförmigen Hinterschnitte im Abstand von der Öffnung des Düsenausgangs rechteckige Hinterschnitte in die Teile der Schmalseiten der Düsenplatten mit einer Breite und einer Tiefe eingebracht sind.The stated object is achieved according to the invention in that additional undercuts are introduced into the parts of the nozzle outlet, which extend the nozzle exit areawise, that in the parts of the nozzle outlet at a predetermined distance from the opening of the nozzle outlet circular undercuts are introduced whose centers at a distance lie of the parts and their radii are greater than the distances and that, following the circular undercuts at a distance from the opening of the nozzle outlet rectangular undercuts are introduced into the parts of the narrow sides of the nozzle plates with a width and a depth.

Die Hinterschnitte im Düsenausgang dienen mit ihren Abmessungen und Ausgestaltungen als Parameter zur Beeinflussung der Schwingungsfrequenz für die Hin- und Herbewegung und die Taktfrequenz des Impulsstrahls. Damit lässt sich die Wirkung des Strahls optimieren, was gerade bei mit Flüssigkeit arbeitenden Reinigungsarten von Vorteil ist.The undercuts in the nozzle exit serve with their dimensions and configurations as parameters for influencing the oscillation frequency for the reciprocation and the clock frequency of the pulse beam. This allows the effect of the beam to be optimized, which is an advantage especially with liquid cleaning methods.

Eine zweckmäßige und vorteilhafte Auslegung ist im Anspruch 2 zu entnehmen.An expedient and advantageous design can be found in claim 2.

Die beiden Düsenplatten können als einfache Bauteile oder dergleichen hergestellt werden, wobei die den Düsendurchgang bildenden Schmalseiten in Verbindung mit der Festlegung zwischen den beiden Deckplatten eine Variationsmöglichkeit für den Düsendurchgang bringen, ohne die Herstellung zu erschweren. Es muss nur dafür gesorgt werden, dass die beiden Deckplatten die beiden Düsenplatten im Bereich der den Düsendurchgang bestimmenden Schmalseite überdecken und den Düsendurchgang vervollständigen.The two nozzle plates can be produced as simple components or the like, wherein the narrow passages forming the nozzle passage, in conjunction with the fixing between the two cover plates, bring about a possibility of variation for the nozzle passage, without making production more difficult. It only has to be ensured that the two cover plates cover the two nozzle plates in the area of the narrow passage defining the nozzle passage and complete the nozzle passage.

Die Stärke der Düsenplatten kann dabei sehr klein sein und beträgt etwa zwischen 1 mm und 2 mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 1,2 mm und 1,8 mm, z.B. nur 1,5 mm.The thickness of the nozzle plates can be very small and is approximately between 1 mm and 2 mm, preferably between 1.2 mm and 1.8 mm, e.g. only 1.5 mm.

Da der Düsendurchgang in der Regel symmetrisch zur Längsmittelachse desselben gestaltet ist, kann nach einer weiteren Vereinfachung vorgesehen sein, dass die beiden Düsenplatten identisch ausgebildet sind und um 180° verdreht zwischen den beiden Deckplatten befestigt sind.Since the nozzle passage is designed generally symmetrical to the longitudinal center axis of the same, can be provided for a further simplification that the two nozzle plates are identical and are rotated by 180 ° between the two cover plates are attached.

Der Zusammenbau der Düse kann nach einer Ausgestaltung so erfolgen, dass die Düsenplatten und die Deckplatten mit aufeinander ausgerichteten Befestigungsbohrungen versehen und miteinander verschraubt sind.The assembly of the nozzle can be carried out according to one embodiment so that the nozzle plates and the cover plates are provided with aligned mounting holes and bolted together.

Bei Hochdruckdüsen kann zusätzlich vorgesehen sein, dass die Deckplatten auf den den Düsenplatten zugekehrten Seiten außerhalb den den Düsendurchgang bestimmenden Schmalseiten mit Aufnahmenuten für Dichtungselemente versehen sind.In the case of high-pressure nozzles, it may additionally be provided that the cover plates on the sides facing the nozzle plates are provided with receiving grooves for sealing elements outside the narrow sides which determine the nozzle passage.

Die Verbindung der Bauteile kann jedoch auch so vorgenommen sein, dass die Düsenplatten und die Deckplatten umfangsseitig außerhalb des Düseneingangs und des Düsenausgangs fest miteinander verschweißt sind.However, the connection of the components can also be made so that the nozzle plates and the cover plates are peripherally welded outside the nozzle inlet and the nozzle exit firmly together.

Der Anschluss einer Zuleitung an die Düse kann in einfacher Weise dadurch erfolgen, dass der Düseneingang als Gewindeaufnahme für eine Anschlussleitung mit Gewindeteil ausgebildet ist, die in die fest miteinander verbundene Einheit aus den Düsenplatten und Deckplatten eingebracht ist.The connection of a supply line to the nozzle can be effected in a simple manner in that the nozzle inlet is designed as a threaded receptacle for a connecting line with threaded part, which is introduced into the fixedly interconnected unit of the nozzle plates and cover plates.

Bei einer Düse ist der Düsendurchgang so ausgestaltet, dass der Düseneingang in eine Düsenkammer übergeht, die sich domartig in die Innenseiten der angrenzenden Deckplatten erstreckt, dass sich an die Düsenkammer ein Düsenkanal anschließt, der sich zum Düsenausgang hin konisch verjüngt und dass der Düsenausgang durch Teile der Schmalseite der Düsenplatten begrenzt ist, die parallel zueinander verlaufen und eine kleine Breite von ca. 1 mm aufweisen.In a nozzle, the nozzle passage is configured such that the nozzle entrance merges into a nozzle chamber extending dome-like into the inner sides of the adjacent cover plates, that adjoins the nozzle chamber, a nozzle channel, which tapers conically towards the nozzle exit and that the nozzle outlet by parts The narrow side of the nozzle plates is limited, which are parallel to each other and have a small width of about 1 mm.

Das Kernstück der erfindungsgemäßen Düse sind die zwei Düsenplatten 10 und 10', die sehr kleine Stärke von ca. 1,5 mm aufweisen und zwischen zwei Deckplatten 20 und 20' befestigt und so auf Abstand zueinander gehalten sind, so dass die einander zugekehrten Schmalseiten in der Längsrichtung den Düsendurchgang begrenzen, wie die Draufsicht auf die Düse nach Fig. 1 und die Längs- und Querschnitte B-B und A-A nach den Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen. Dabei können die Düsenplatten 10 und 10' einzeln zum Beispiel durch Stanzen hergestellt werden oder, wie Fig. 5 zeigt, zunächst im Bereich des Düseneingangs 40 zusammenhängend als ein Bauteil hergestellt werden. Ist die Düse aus dieser Düsenplatte nach Fig. 5 mit den Deckplatten 20 und 20' zusammengesetzt, dann kann durch spätere Einbringung des Düseneingangs 40 die Trennung in die beiden Düsenplatten 10 und 10' vollzogen und der Düsendurchgang vervollständig werden.The core of the nozzle according to the invention are the two nozzle plates 10 and 10 ', which have a very small thickness of about 1.5 mm and between two cover plates 20 and 20' attached and so are kept at a distance to each other, so that the facing narrow sides in Limit the longitudinal direction of the nozzle passage, as the top view of the nozzle after Fig. 1 and the longitudinal and cross sections BB and AA after the FIGS. 2 and 3 demonstrate. The nozzle plates 10 and 10 'can be manufactured individually, for example by punching or, as Fig. 5 shows, are first produced in the area of the nozzle entrance 40 coherently as a component. If the nozzle from this nozzle plate after Fig. 5 assembled with the cover plates 20 and 20 ', then the separation into the two nozzle plates 10 and 10' completed by subsequent introduction of the nozzle inlet 40 and completed the nozzle passage.

Wie aus der Fig. 1 entnommen werden kann, ist die Düse zur Längsmittelachse des Düsendurchganges symmetrisch, so dass die beiden Düsenplatten 10 und 10' wenn sie einzeln hergestellt werden, identisch sind und nur um 180° um die Längsmittelachse verdreht zwischen den Deckplatten 20 und 20' befestigt und gehalten sind. Der Halt der Düsenplatten 10 und 10' im richtigen Abstand zueinander wird dadurch erreicht, dass diese wie die Deckplatten 20 und 20' aufeinander ausgerichtete Befestigungsaufnahmen 45 und 45' aufweisen und darüber zu einer festen Einheit verschraubt werden können. Wenn auch hier die Symmetrie zur Längsmittelachse des Düsendurchganges eingehalten wird, können die Deckplatten 20 und 20' identisch ausgebildet sein.Like from the Fig. 1 can be removed, the nozzle to the longitudinal center axis of the nozzle passage is symmetrical, so that the two nozzle plates 10 and 10 'when they are made individually, are identical and twisted only about 180 ° about the longitudinal center axis between the cover plates 20 and 20' and held , The maintenance of the nozzle plates 10 and 10 'at the correct distance from one another is achieved in that, like the cover plates 20 and 20', they have mutually aligned fastening receivers 45 and 45 'and can be screwed to form a solid unit. If here too the symmetry to the longitudinal center axis of the nozzle passage is maintained, the cover plates 20 and 20 'can be formed identically.

Die Verbindung der Düsenplatten 10 und 10' mit den beiden Deckplatten 20 und 20' kann nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung dadurch zu einer festen Einheit (Fig. 4) führen, dass alle Bauteile umgangsseitig mit Ausnahme des Düseneinganges 40 und des Düsenausganges 30 miteinander verschweißt werden. In der Düse bilden die einander zugekehrten Schmalseiten der Düsenplatten 10 und 10' mit den Deckplatten 20 und 20' den Düsendurchgang, der mit dem Düseneingang 40 beginnt, an den sich eine Düsenkammer 16 anschließt, die sich mit den domartigen Ausweitungen 12 und 12' sowie 13 und 13' in die zugekehrten Innenseiten der Deckplatten 20 und 20' erstreckt, wie die Fig. 2 zeigt. Der Düsendurchgang geht nach der Düsenkammer 16 in einen Düsenkanal 17 über, der dann über einen sich konisch verjüngenden Abschnitt 18 in den Düsenausgang 30 übergeht. Der Düsenkanal 17 wird seitlich durch die Abschnitte 14 und 14' der Düsenplatten 10 und 10' begrenzt, während die Abschnitte 15 und 15' den sich konisch verjüngenden Abschnitt 18 des Düsendurchganges bestimmen. Die nur in geringem Abstand zueinander stehenden Abschnitte 31 und 31' der Düsenplatten 10 und 10' bilden den Düsenausgang 30, dessen Einzelheiten noch in Fig. 6 gezeigt werden. Wie insbesondere dem Längsabschnitt nach Fig. 2 entnommen werden kann, bestimmen die zwischen den Deckplatten 20 und 20' festgelegten Düsenplatten 10 und 10' die Höhe des Düsendurchganges zwischen der Düsenkammer 16 und zum Eingang in den Düsengang 30. Bei einer Verschraubung der Einheit laufen im Abstand zum Düsendurchgang beidseitig in den zugekehrten Innenseiten der Deckplatten 20 und 20' Aufnahmenuten 25 und 25', in die Dichtungselemente eingebracht werden können, um den Düsendurchgang vom Düseneingang 40 bis zum Düsenausgang 30 beidseitig dicht abschließen zu können. Die Düse lässt dich daher auch als Hochdruckdüse verwenden, bei der mit höherem Druck der über den Düseneingang 40 zugeführten Flüssigkeit gearbeitet wird. Vorteilhafterweise ist der Düseneingang 40 als Gewindeaufnahme ausgebildet, in die ein Gewindeteil einer Anschlussleitung eingeschraubt werden kann. Die Anschlussleitung kann als Hochdruckleitung ausgebildet sein und die Flüssigkeit mit entsprechend hohem Druck dem Düsendurchgang der Düse zuführen. Da die Breite des Düsenausganges 30 leicht sehr klein gehalten werden kann, und zwar durch den Abstand b der Abschnitte 31 und 31' der Düsenplatten 10 und 10' im Bereich des Düsenausganges 30, wird gerade bei Reinigungsgeräten jeder Art ein großer Wirkungsgrad des abgegebenen Flüssigkeitsstrahles erreicht.The connection of the nozzle plates 10 and 10 'with the two cover plates 20 and 20' can thereby according to a further embodiment to a fixed unit ( Fig. 4 ) lead that all components are the other side with the exception of the nozzle inlet 40 and the nozzle exit 30 welded together. In the nozzle, the mutually facing narrow sides of the nozzle plates 10 and 10 'with the cover plates 20 and 20' form the nozzle passage, which begins with the nozzle inlet 40, to which a nozzle chamber 16 connects, with the dome-like extensions 12 and 12 'and 13 and 13 'in the facing inner sides of the cover plates 20 and 20' extends, as the Fig. 2 shows. The nozzle passage passes to the nozzle chamber 16 in a nozzle channel 17, which then merges via a conically tapered portion 18 in the nozzle outlet 30. The nozzle channel 17 is bounded laterally by the sections 14 and 14 'of the nozzle plates 10 and 10', while the sections 15 and 15 'define the conically tapering section 18 of the nozzle passage. The only slightly spaced sections 31 and 31 'of the nozzle plates 10 and 10' form the nozzle outlet 30, whose details are still in Fig. 6 to be shown. As in particular the longitudinal section after Fig. 2 can be taken, determine the between the cover plates 20 and 20 'fixed nozzle plates 10 and 10', the height of the nozzle passage between the nozzle chamber 16 and the entrance into the nozzle passage 30. When a screw of the unit run at a distance to the nozzle passage on both sides in the facing inner sides of the cover plates 20 and 20 'receiving grooves 25 and 25' into which sealing elements can be introduced in order to be able to seal the nozzle passage from the nozzle inlet 40 to the nozzle exit 30 on both sides. The nozzle therefore also allows you to use it as a high-pressure nozzle, which operates at a higher pressure of the liquid supplied via the nozzle inlet 40. Advantageously, the nozzle inlet 40 is formed as a threaded receptacle into which a threaded portion of a connecting cable can be screwed. The connection line can be designed as a high-pressure line and supply the liquid with a correspondingly high pressure to the nozzle passage of the nozzle. Since the width of the nozzle exit 30 can easily be kept very small, by the distance b of the sections 31 and 31 'of the nozzle plates 10 and 10' in the region of the nozzle exit 30, a high efficiency of the discharged liquid jet is achieved in cleaning devices of all types ,

Der neue konstruktive Aufbau der Düse birgt die Möglichkeit in sich, den Düsenausgang 30 mit Hinterschnitte 32 und 32' bzw. 33 und 33' zu versehen, wie die Fig, 6 in vergrößerter Teildarstellung zeigt. Die Hinterschnitte 32 und 32' sind kreisförmig ausgebildet und im Abstand c und c' von der Öffnung des Düsenausganges 30 in die Abschnitte 31 und 31' des Düsenausganges 30 eingebracht. Dabei nehmen die Mittelpunkte der mit Radien r und r' eingebrachten Hinterschnitte 32 und 32' einen Abstand a und a' zu den Abschnitten 31 und 31' des Düsenausganges 30 ein, wobei die Abstände a und a' kleiner sind als die Radien r und r'.The new design of the nozzle has the possibility in itself, the nozzle exit 30 with undercuts 32 and 32 'and 33 and 33' to provide, as the Fig. 6 in enlarged partial view shows. The undercuts 32 and 32 'are of circular design and are introduced at intervals c and c' from the opening of the nozzle exit 30 into the sections 31 and 31 'of the nozzle exit 30. The centers of the radii r and r 'introduced undercuts 32 and 32' a distance a and a 'to the sections 31 and 31' of the nozzle exit 30, wherein the distances a and a 'are smaller than the radii r and r '.

In Richtung des Düseneinganges 40 schließen sich an die kreisförmigen Hinterschnitte 32 und 32' im Abstand d und d' rechteckförmige Hinterschnitte 33 und 33' in den Abschnitten 31 und 31' des Düsenausganges 30 an. Die rechteckförmigen Hinterschnitte 33 und 33' weisen Breiten e und e' sowie Tiefen f und f auf.In the direction of the nozzle inlet 40 close to the circular undercuts 32 and 32 'at a distance d and d' rectangular undercuts 33 and 33 'in the sections 31 and 31 'of the nozzle outlet 30 at. The rectangular undercuts 33 and 33 'have widths e and e' and depths f and f.

Bei dieser Ausgestaltung des Düsenausganges 30 wird der zugeführte Flüssigkeitsstrahl in Schwingungen versetzt und immer wieder unterbrochen, so dass der über die Öffnung des Düsenausganges abgegebene Flüssigkeitsstrahl eine oszillierende Hin- und Herbewegung ausführt und dabei impulsförmig unterbrochen wird. Die Reinigungswirkung wird dadurch weiter verbessert, ohne dass dafür bewegte mechanische Bauteile benötigt werden.In this embodiment of the nozzle outlet 30, the supplied liquid jet is set in vibration and interrupted again and again, so that the liquid jet discharged via the opening of the nozzle outlet carries out an oscillating back-and-forth movement and is thereby interrupted in a pulsed manner. The cleaning effect is thereby further improved without requiring moving mechanical components.

Guter Wirkungsgrad wurde bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Düse mit 1,5 mm starken Düsenplatten 10 und 10' und einer Breite B der Düsenöffnung von 1 mm dann erreicht, wenn die Abstände a und a' mit 0.5 mm, die Radien r und r' mit 0,7 mm, die Abstände d und d' 1,5 mm, die Breiten e und e' und die Tiefen f und f 1 mm gewählt werden. Die Abmessungswerte sind als Parameter zu verwenden, um den Strahlwinkel, die Schwingungs- und Impulsfrequenz des abgegebenen Flüssigkeitsstrahles an die gewünschte Wirkung des abgegebenen Flüssigkeitsstrahles optimal anzupassen, wobei die Anzahl und die Form der Hinterschnitte im Düsenausgang 40 als weitere Parameter zur Veränderung des Flüssigkeitsstrahls verwendet werden können.Good efficiency was achieved in one embodiment of the nozzle with 1.5 mm thick nozzle plates 10 and 10 'and a width B of the nozzle opening of 1 mm when the distances a and a' at 0.5 mm, the radii r and r 'with 0 , 7 mm, the distances d and d 'are chosen to be 1.5 mm, the widths e and e' and the depths f and f 1 mm. The dimensional values are to be used as parameters to optimally adjust the beam angle, oscillation and pulse frequency of the dispensed liquid jet to the desired effect of the dispensed liquid jet, the number and shape of the undercuts in the nozzle exit 40 being used as further parameters for changing the liquid jet can.
