Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a means for distributing mist or vapor and a fogging device with such means.
  • nebulization devices are known from the prior art with which a mist can be generated from a liquid.
  • ultrasonic transducers are used to nebulize liquids. Due to the high-frequency mechanical vibrations, small drops of liquid are torn out of a liquid that wets or floods the oscillators. As a result, an aerosol or mist forms over the liquid, which is carried away by a gas stream, in particular an air stream. Depending on the intended use, it may be desirable for the mist to be retained in order to work. But it is also possible that it is desired that the liquid droplets evaporate and the steam achieves the desired effect.
  • the steam or mist can be directed by means of the gas flow through lines to the places where the action of the steam or mist is to occur.
  • the pipes may branch to transport the steam or mist to multiple locations. It may be necessary to transport the vapor or mist either to one of the places, to some of the places or to all places. It may also be necessary or useful that the locations to which the vapor or mist is to be transported vary over time. Further, it may be necessary or useful that the amount of steam or mist to be transported to a location be varied over time.
  • the object of the invention was to propose a means by which it is possible to vary in which duct a vapor or mist-transporting gas stream is passed in order to pass steam or mist to one or more locations. It is also preferable to adjust the amount of vapor or mist transported to a location.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention by means of a device for distributing mist or steam from a first inlet to various first outlets, wherein at least one line can be connected to the first outlets via which the aerosol can be transported to the location or locations, where the fog or steam is supposed to work.
  • the means according to the invention comprises a one- or multi-part first container which has in a first opening for the first inlet for supplying a mist or vapor transporting gas stream and which has openings for the first outlets in a second wall.
  • the means further comprises a one- or more-part blocking element, which is arranged movably in the container, wherein the blocking element has at least one hole which at least partially coincides with at least one of the first outlets or out of alignment with at least one by a movement of the blocking element the first outlets can be brought to release this first outlet or close.
  • the gas stream leading the mist or the vapor can be distributed to one or more or all of the lines connected to the first outlets in order to to be transported to the desired location.
  • the blocking element may for this purpose have one or more holes, which allow the passage of the gas flow including the mist or vapor from the inlet to the outlet or outlets.
  • the hole or holes may have a clear cross section corresponding to the clear cross section of the openings for the outlets.
  • the clear cross-sectional area of the hole or holes in the blocking element is equal to or greater than the cross-sectional area of each individual opening for the first outlet.
  • the hole or holes of the blocking element can have any cross-section.
  • the hole may be a circular hole or a slot, in particular a bow-shaped slot with curved long sides.
  • the blocking element may be a perforated disc or plate.
  • the blocking element is rotatably mounted and can be brought by rotation in a position in which the at least one hole in the blocking element is wholly or partially in registration with the opening of one of the outlets, or in a position in which this opening is closed.
  • the curved long sides of an arcuate oblong hole can each lie on a circle about a pivot point of the blocking element.
  • the arcuate slot may be long enough to extend from one outlet to an adjacent outlet. This makes it possible that in a position of the blocking element, a first outlet completely closed and an adjacent second outlet is completely released by the arcuate slot. In another position of the blocking element is by a portion at a first end of the arcuate slot part of a first Released outlet and released by a portion at a second end of the arcuate portion a portion of a second outlet.
  • This has the advantage that when the blocking element is rotated to change the released outlet, the cross section of the blocking element through which the mist or vapor can flow remains virtually constant. Thereby it can be avoided that during the change of the released outlet for a short time for the mist or steam no way is free and the mist or steam is looking for a way not foreseen due to the rising pressure at the inlet.
  • a slot could be to avoid an overpressure at the inlet when changing the outlet briefly off a possibly existing gas conveyor, in particular a pump or a fan.
  • a drive For moving the blocking element, a drive may be provided, with which the blocking element is coupled.
  • the drive may include a motor.
  • the motor may be connected to a preferably programmable or permanently programmed controller.
  • the controller may be programmed so that the blocking element programmatically releases or closes at least one of the outlets. Releasing or closing may be done in dependence on time, transported volumes or other quantities. It is possible that the motor is controlled so that one of the outlets or more of the outlets are only partially released or closed, whereby the flow rate can be controlled. Full or partial release or closure of the outlets may be cyclical.
  • the first container may be a tub or a pot and have a cover closing the tub or the pot.
  • the pan or pot may include a substantially and / or partially cylindrical space.
  • a bottom of the tub or pot may have the opening for the first inlet and the lid may have the openings for the first outlets or vice versa.
  • the disc In the cylindrical space bounded by the first container, the disc may be rotatably arranged.
  • the diameter of the disc is slightly smaller than the diameter of the interior.
  • the blocking element can be sealed against at least one wall of the first container. Also in the region of the at least one hole of the blocking element, a seal may be provided which seals the blocking element relative to the first container in order to avoid an overflow into any other than the at least one selected first outlet which is to be connected to the first inlet.
  • inventive means comprises a pot 1, which has a bottom 11 and a wall 12.
  • the pot 1 comprises a cylindrical space.
  • an opening for an inlet E is provided, via which a gas stream can be passed into the pot 1, the mist or steam transported.
  • the inlet E has a spigot 13 for connection to a conduit or outlet of a device in which the mist or vapor is generated.
  • a disc 2 is rotatably arranged in the pot 1.
  • the disc 2 rests on a first shoulder 14 in the wall 12 of the pot 1.
  • a seal between the first shoulder 14 and the disc 2 could provide a seal, so that the disc 2 can not be overflowed laterally.
  • a rotation of the disc 2 can be achieved by a drive, not shown.
  • the disc 2 has an eccentric hole L with a circular cross section.
  • the center of the hole L has a distance R from the rotation axis D of the disk 2.
  • the disc 2 of the second agent according to the invention an arcuate slot LL whose arcuate long sides lie on a circle about the axis of rotation of the disc 2.
  • the center according to the invention differs according to Fig. 2 if necessary in details of the agent according to the invention Fig. 1 ,
  • the means further comprises a lid 3.
  • the lid 3 can be placed sealingly on a second shoulder 15 in the wall 12 of the pot 1.
  • the lid 3 serves to shoot the pot 1.
  • the lid 3 has four openings A of the agent per an opening. Each opening has a circular cross section corresponding to the cross section of the hole L in the disc 2.
  • the openings are arranged in the corners of an imaginary square, which is concentric with a central axis D of the lid 3.
  • the centers of the openings have a distance R from the central axis D of the lid 3.
  • the lid 3 and the disc 2 are arranged coaxially with each other.
