  • the present invention relates to a pure fluid system in which a control stream controls the deflections of the mainstream of continuous flow of pressurized fluid to perform analogue and digital functions corresponding to those in the electronic devices and, more particularly relates to a fluid system in which the control stream is not to come directly in contact with the mainstream, but is formed as a separated individual stream flowing past the side of the mainstream to produce a change in pressure on the lateral side of the mainstream, thereby causing the mainstream to make a deflection.
  • the pure fluid elements which have been proposed heretofore are generally based on such concept that the control stream issued from the control nozzle is to impinge perpen dicularly against a continuous mainstream of pressure fluid which issues from the main jet nozzle, and that by the interact ing flow of these two streams, the mainstream of pressure fluid is made to deflect by a certain angular amount.
  • the control stream is caused to directly come into contact with the mainstream from the con trol nozzle and so the mainstream is spread away, or a turbulence of the stream may result, thus sometimes spoiling the stability of the stream.
  • control stream which is capable of causing the mainstream of the continuous flow of pressurized fluid to deflect, may be related to the mainstream, but is not allowed to contact the mainstream to produce an interacting flow as it issues itself out of the control nozzle in the direction perpendicular to the mainstream like the conventional elements; and instead of such impinging mode as described above, the control stream is formed as a separated individual stream flowing past the side of the mainstream without mutually colliding with the mainstream, nor making any peripheral contact whatever, but simply aiming at causing a change in pressure to arise on the lateral side of the mainstream alone, to effectuate the deflection of the mainstream.
  • the mainstream of continuous flow sustains only a change in pressure as caused by the control stream, and so the flow of the mainstream is never disturbed, but is enabled to make deflections accurately and precisely; also the various factors such as property, configuration, or disposition of the control stream can be determined by unrestricted selection, because the control stream never comes into contact with the mainstream. Furthermore, after effecting the deflection of the mainstream satisfactorily, the control stream itself can be taken out or removed, and a repeated use for the removed control stream is possible in the next stages; and besides, by setting up various specific combination of the mainstream and of the control stream, analogue and digital functions similar to those in the electronic devices can be attained like in the conventional elements.
  • the system of this invention is to form a separated individual flow of the control stream on one of the lateral sides of the mainstream of the continuous flow, and by means of flow of the control stream itself in what is called Air Curtain Action, one of the lateral sides of the mainstream is perfectly isolated from the outside; and simultaneously, by a dint of the two flows of the main and control streams in what is called Rolling-in Action," the fluid which stays in the isolated area, is dragged to the outside so that one of the lateral sides of the mainstream is rendered lower in pressure than the other lateral side which opens to the atmosphere.
  • one flow of the mainstream can be deflected or diverted in any way desired by the other flow of the control stream by means of ingeniously utilizing the fourfold characteristic natures which the flow of fluids, e.g., air and water, generally have, which are Air-Curtain Action, Roll-in Action, Lower Pressure Side Diverting Action, and Wall-Sticking Effect.”
  • control stream is enabled to control the mainstream of continuous flow to effectuate the positive and perfect deflection of the mainstream from a certain direction to another definite direction
  • such actions can be adapted for use in what is called logical actions in the electric devices
  • mainstream is enabled to divert in direct proportion to the magnitude of the control stream, such actions can be used as amplifier actions in the electric devices
  • load devices such as diaphragm or postin
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a pure fluid system in which the control stream flowing continuously or discontinuously, which is formed on the lateral side of the mainstream of continuous flow, freely manipulates the deflection of the mainstream, and further, by optionally adjusting factors of the control stream, such as the magnitude of flow, i.e., discharge, or velocity, the deflection of the mainstream is directly proportional to the magnitude of the control stream; in other words, by the controlling actions of the control stream, the output of the mainstream is enabled to perform the proportional amplified action.
  • factors of the control stream such as the magnitude of flow, i.e., discharge, or velocity
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide a pure fluid system in which, so far as the control stream which is individually constituted separate from the mainstream of continuous flow is related to the mainstream simply for producing a change in pressure on the lateral side of the mainstream, optional modifications can be made for the control stream with respect to the shape or form of the passageway, the differential gradient as against the flow of the mainstream, or the positional relation with the mainstream, in order to have the variegated structure of the two streams.

  • the two output passageways 9 or 10 from the main jetstream F1 are formed to provide what is called Wall-Sticking Effect so that the main jetstream F1 may flow while maintaining its state as having stuck to the wall in the neighborhood of thcjunction point P1, 01.

  • the output passageway of the main jetstream Fl can be switched to either the left or the right, i.e., to 9 or 10.
  • the control streams G1 and G2 are given a variable modification with respect to the amount of discharge and of velocity, the degree of deflection of the main jetstream F1 also can be changed over a variable range, in direct proportion to the amount of change in the factor of the control streams G1 and G2.
  • the action generally known as proportional amplified action can be performed; and furthermore, by changing the length of the continuative spaces 19 and 20 over a variable range, the time needed for the main jetstream F 1 in completing its deviating action can be changed in various ways in direct proportion to the changing range of the continuative space. It is therefore understood that the operating time can be freely adjusted.

  • the main jetstream F3 is caused to deviate from left to right at a rate directly proportional to the amount of the other control stream G6 which is positioned so as to flow through the continuative space 41 on the right side.
