Definitions
- the invention relates to a Wasserspieldüse having at least two independent water channels with per water guide in each case at least one outlet opening. Over these water ducts are controllably different water flow rates, i. variable amounts of water per unit time to the outlet openings of the water ducts conductive to produce at the nozzle outlet of the water fountain nozzle water images that can be varied.
- Such a fountain nozzle according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 6,250,570 B1.
- This nozzle has a central water flow into which several outlet openings of a second water guide open tangentially.
- a swirl is given to the first water volume stream while mixing with the second water volume stream, and the rotating mixed water volume stream is then moved further to the nozzle exit.
- different water images can arise, for example, a sharply delimited high beam or a very early fanning out wide beam, depending on how large the supplied swirl. This can be varied via the control of the two water volume flows.
- the invention has for its object to provide a Wasserspieldüse that allows a good variability with a simplified design.
- This object is achieved by a Wasserspieldüse with the features of claim 1. Due to the design of the fountain nozzle with an inner water supply, which is so surrounded by at least one outer water supply, that both water supply parallel directed, but separate water streams lead to just before the nozzle exit, the basic structure of the nozzle is simple, but the possibility of variation large by the Varying the volume of water flows or amounts of water per unit of time passed through the different water channels.
- the water ducts are formed by tubes arranged inside one another, wherein the outer diameter of the innermost tube is smaller than the inner diameter of the surrounding tube, so that between the two tubes, a free space is formed, which forms an outer water guide.
- the construction is not limited to two water channels. Also, three or more pipes can be arranged inside each other.
- a pipe for an inner water supply is provided, but a plurality of these surrounding outer water channels, which also form a kind of water wreath together.
- the pipes or water guides do not necessarily have to be circular, but a circular design is to be preferred in terms of design, aerodynamic and stability reasons.
- the water ducts or pipes are arranged concentrically. But it is also possible in a concentric or eccentric arrangement, the water ducts to each other movable, for example, slidably to design, resulting in a further influence on the spray pattern. If, for example, the outer tube is eccentrically rotated around the inner tube, the water jet formed also circles around the nozzle center.
- the water supply or water supply can be done for example for the inner tube from below, while the water supply for the outer tube can be made laterally.
- the water supply for the water supply, however, other variants than the mentioned are possible.
- the additional use of a flow straightener for water calming in one or more of the water guides may also be useful.
- Two or more pumps can be connected to the water supply separately or to the regulating pumps. Due to the ratio of the respective volume flows, the water images can already be varied, whereby the shape of the nozzle head can also be decisive for the shape of the water pattern.
- the nozzle head is preferably formed by a nozzle head, which in turn may preferably include one or more flow control.
- variable water images can be generated for the inner and / or outer water guide by adjusting the respective flow guide and / or a desired water pattern can be optimized.
- an inner flow control arm In the presence of an inner flow control arm, this can preferably be designed so that it transforms the inner water jet from a water column to a water ring. This happens, for example, by a mushroom-shaped or conical design of the flow control arm. If an outer flow control arm is present, this may be, for example, cap-shaped and direct the outer water flow inward and slim. In the presence of two flow control, these may preferably be designed so that they the to direct the streams of water towards each other. By changing the height of the two flow control arms to each other, very different water images can be achieved. Preferably, a centering aid is to be provided for the flow control arms in order to position these exactly.
- the result is a slim, fountain-like jet shape.
- a larger volume flow in the inner tube relative to the outer tube creates a wide sweeping fountain in cup shape of only lesser height.
- FIG. 1 a water fountain nozzle according to the invention in section
- Fig. 2 shows the upper part of the article of FIG. 1, in the formation of a cup-shaped water jet and
- Fig. 3 shows the object of Fig. 2 with formation of a higher jet of fountains.
- the illustrated Wasserspieldüse has an inner water supply 1, which is formed by an inner tube 2 and a surrounding outer water guide 3, formed by the outer casing of the inner tube 2 and an outer tube 4.
- the water supply to these two water guides 1, 3 via connections, wherein a lower connection 5 for the inner water supply 1 and a lateral connection 6 for the outer water supply 3 are provided.
- both terminals 5, 6 are each separate, not shown, pumps connected.
- In the lower part of the inner water guide 1 is also a flow straightener 7, which calms the flow and gives it a uniform upward direction. In the case of the outer water guide 3, this results automatically through the narrower annular channel.
- the upper end of the water play nozzle is formed by a nozzle head 8 which sealingly surrounds the outer water guide 3 in the illustrated embodiment.
- the nozzle head 8 forms a nozzle outlet 9 and includes an outer flow guide 10, which is formed edge-shaped with a central opening.
- an inner flow guide 11 is also provided for the inner water guide 1.
- Both flow guide 10,11 are in the axial direction A, ie adjustable in height and vary over the shape and size of the outlet opening 13 of the inner water guide 1 and the outlet opening 14 of the outer water supply 3.
- About a centering 5, realized here by a centering screw can the inner flow guide 1 1 are centered.
- a similar possibility is provided via a further centering aid 16 for the outer flow control arm 10.
- the volume flows of the pumps are preferably adjustable variable via an electronic BUS system, which can vary the water images continuously during operation.
- the spray pattern of a wide open cup illustrated in FIG. 2 can be generated if the volume flow Vi in the inner water guide 1 is set to be greater than the volume flow V2 in the outer water guide 3.
- the picture shown in FIG. 3 results in a tall, slender fountain.
- the Wasserspieldüse invention is structurally simple to implement and thereby extremely stable and precisely adjustable.
- the possibilities of variation over the supplied volume flows V are considerable.
