For example, sorting can be performed in descending order of numerical values of pressure and flow rate. You can also sort in descending order instead of ascending order. By performing unit conversion and then sorting in order of numerical value, comparative study can be easily performed.
- FIG. 29 shows only a small part of the information, such as the nozzle model number, the size of the nozzle, and typical characteristic values. Therefore, If you want to know more detailed information about the nozzle of each nozzle model number, just click the part where the nozzle model number is displayed. As a result, detailed information of the selected nozzle as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31 can be viewed. For convenience, it is divided into two figures, but in reality, the contents shown in Figures 30 and 31 are displayed on one screen.

Also, the unit '(MPa, 1 / min) visible in the unit selection section 34 is made to be able to see the unit selected by the user on the search condition input screen.
- the actual catalog image 35 is displayed as a thumbnail image. To enlarge the catalog image, click on the thumbnail image of the catalog page you want to view.
- the catalog image is stored in the nozzle information database 1 lb.
- the unit conversion table will be described. Clicking on the unit conversion table button on the screens shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 16 will take you to the unit conversion page shown in Fig. 32.
- the unit conversion page allows you to convert commonly used units for nozzles. Also, as a unique conversion of the nozzle, the actual flow rate of the sprayed liquid can be converted to the water flow rate (and vice versa).
- a database is constructed based on the data including the pressure, flow rate, and spray angle described in the catalog of each manufacturer.
- the pressure, flow rate, and spray angle are the most important data representing the characteristics of the nozzle, and are indicated in the catalog, for example, as shown in Fig. 33.
- This catalog shows the characteristics of the nozzles of the model numbers (A) (B) (C) (D).
- ⁇ ⁇ For the nozzles of the model number (A), the flow rate (L / min) and pressure (MP The relationship of a) is shown in the column indicated by figure 100, and the relationship between the spray angle) and the pressure (MPa) is shown in the column shown by figure 101.
- the number of pressure parameters in a spray-angle / pressure combination is smaller than the number of pressure parameters in a flow rate 'pressure combination (relation).
- the pressure value for expressing the spray angle may be different from the pressure for expressing the flow rate.
- 0.15MPa and 1.4MPa are adopted as pressure values, but as shown in column 100, this pressure value is Not used for flow rate notation. Therefore, if a database for nozzle search is constructed based on such force log values and a nozzle search is performed by inputting the pressure 'flow rate' spray angle, the following problems will occur.
- FIG. 34 is an example of registration based on a catalog description value for a certain nozzle model number. If the search conditions are pressure 5 ⁇ 2, flow rate 4.5 ⁇ 1, and spray angle 50 ⁇ 5, the specifications to be extracted as search results are [pressure 3, flow rate 3.5, spray angle 45] ] And [pressure 5, flow rate 4.5, spray angle 50]. However, unless a special program is created when searching, the following problems occur. In other words, as shown in Fig. 34 (b), when all combinations of the extracted characteristic values are displayed, non-existent nozzle specifications are displayed except for No. 1 and 4. It is a problem. In addition, when the combination of the maximum value of the extracted values is displayed (see Fig.
- Figure 35 is a catalog notation for another nozzle model number.
- Spray angles are indicated for pressures of 3 and 10.
- pressure is 5
- flow rate 4.5
- some nozzles only show the spray angle for one pressure. In some cases, only one spray angle is displayed, but it does not indicate what pressure it is at. Therefore, even in this case, it is impossible to register the spray angle, and it cannot be extracted by search.
- the combination of the pressure and the spray angle is considerably less than that of the combination of the pressure and the flow rate. Therefore, even if a database is constructed based on the power tag values of nozzle manufacturers around the world, it will not be possible to search for a range without a spray angle notation. Therefore, in practice Even though there is a wide search range, only a small part of it can be used, and the value of the database cannot be fully utilized. It is also conceivable to calculate the appropriate values for parts without the spray angle notation and register them in the database. However, the power tag value of each nozzle manufacturer will be determined based on arbitrary judgment, and the nozzle manufacturer will make an unintended notation, which is not allowed for product warranty or commercial transactions. .
- the present invention can perform a nozzle search even in a pressure range in which a spray angle is not indicated in a catalog, and provides a highly reliable nozzle catalog database and nozzle information search for both users and manufacturers. Offering system.
- the database 20 stores all the information about the nozzles described in the catalog, but the most important data is the pressure, flow rate, and spray angle among the nozzle characteristic values.
- the data of the combination of pressure and spray angle is considerably smaller than the combination of pressure and flow among these three characteristic values.
- the spray angle notation You will have to choose a spray angle corresponding to a pressure 3 or a pressure 10. Since the value of pressure 5 is closer to pressure 3 than pressure 10, select the spray angle 50 corresponding to pressure 3 and register it in the database as the temporary spray angle combined with pressure 5 (Fig. 37) (a)). In the table, “*” indicates the temporary spray angle. Also, if the pressure is 6.5 instead of the pressure 5 as shown in Fig. 37 (b), this pressure value is an intermediate value like the pressure 3 and the pressure 10 like. In this case, the spray angle 50 (at a pressure of 3) of the smaller angle is adopted as the temporary spray angle.
- a temporary spray angle can be registered based on the same idea as above. That is, for the pressure 4.5, the spray angle 50 corresponding to the pressure 3 is adopted, and for the pressure 7, the spray angle 55 corresponding to the pressure 10 is adopted. If there are three or more pressures without a spray angle, the same concept can be used.
- the spray angle is registered as a temporary spray angle. That is, The value of the spray angle is 50.
- the spray angle is registered as a temporary spray angle corresponding to all pressure values. In this way, for a nozzle with a model number that has only one spray angle, the spray angle is registered as a temporary spray angle.
- pressure, flow rate, and spray angle can be registered as a combination unit.
- the first identification data is data for identifying that the registered spray angle is a provisional spray angle (it is not as described in the catalog).
- Nozzle catalogs sometimes display characteristic values based on spray separation and spray width instead of spray angle.
- the spray angle is calculated from the spray distance and spray width, and this calculated spray angle is registered as a temporary spray angle. In this case, it is registered in the database together with the second identification data.
- the flow rate or spray angle when spraying a fluid other than water may be indicated.
- the flow rate or spray angle when registering the flow rate or spray angle, register it in the database together with the third identification data.
- FIG. 7 shows the characteristics of a two-fluid nozzle of a certain nozzle model number.
- the spray angle marked with * indicates the temporary spray angle.
- the liquid pressure is 0.02.
- the liquid pressure is 0.02 in the columns No. 1-4.
- N 0.1 and No. 4 there are spray angles listed in the catalog.
- gas pressure The gas pressure of No. 2 is 0.035.
- the gas pressure of No. 1 is 0.02, and the gas pressure of No. 4 is 0.105.
- the numerical value closer to 0.035 of the gas pressure of No.2 is 0.02 of No.1. Therefore, as the temporary spray angle of No. 2, 33, which is the spray angle of No. 1, is adopted.
- a spray angle of N 0.4 of 34 is adopted. If the gas pressure of No. 2 is an intermediate value like No. 1 and No. 4, the smaller spray angle is registered as a temporary spray angle.
- the liquid pressure of No. 5 is 0.03.
- the liquid pressure is 0.03 in the column of N 0.5 to 8.
- the liquid pressure of No. 4 is 0.02 and the liquid pressure of No. 9 is 0.035.
- the numerical value close to the liquid pressure 0.03 is the liquid pressure 0.035 of No.9. Therefore, the spray angle 37 of No. 9 is adopted and registered as the temporary spray angle of No. 5 to No. 8.
- the liquid pressure of No. 5 is an intermediate value like No. 4 and No.
- the liquid pressure of No. 10 is 0.07.
- the description of the spray angle at the liquid pressure of 0.07 is in the column of No. 13 and the spray angle is 42. Therefore, the temporary spray angle of N 0.10 to 12 is set to 42.
- the method of determining the temporary spray angles of No. 15 and 16 may be the same as that of No. 2 and 3.
- the liquid pressure, gas pressure, liquid amount (flow rate), gas amount (flow rate), and spray angle are registered in the database as one combination unit (unit).
- Fig. 42 is an example of the screen configuration that displays a list of search results in the standard search. Although not shown, a display area for displaying search conditions is provided in the same manner. The functions are the same.
- SGS code manufacturer, nationality, catalog language, manufacturer's model number, pressure value, flow rate value, spray angle, material, screw standard are provided as table items in the list. (However, some are shown for convenience of illustration).
- the search results can be extracted as nozzle model numbers (manufacturer model numbers). If the number of searches is large, a list is created over multiple pages. If the user looks at the search results and wants to enter new search conditions, he or she can click the button at the bottom of the screen that says “Search method”. In this case, the entered value is cleared. If you want to further narrow your search results, you can go to the expert search.
- “* 1” is a note indicating that the spray is indicated by spray angle in the catalog of search results, although it is indicated by spray distance and spray width in the catalog. This is shown in the column shown in Figure 47. It is displayed as 43 ° (at 2.0 bar), but this number is not actually listed in the catalog. The user can recognize that it is not according to the catalog by looking at the note display in the column. If you want to check the contents of the actual catalog, you can check it in the detailed display described later. As described above, the spray angle displayed here is a temporary spray angle and is shared with the second identification data. Is registered in the database. “* 1” can be displayed based on the second identification data.
- the display of pressure, flow rate, and spray angle shown in the list shows the data registered as a combination unit.
- a combination unit For example, for the nozzle of No. 1, [2.0, 1.9, 65] is the combination unit.
- Fig. 37 (a) there is usually not only one combination of pressure, flow rate and spray angle but also a plurality of combinations for one nozzle. However, only one combination is displayed in the search results. Which of the combinations is to be displayed as a search result can be determined as appropriate. For example, a combination that includes a value close to the median of the pressure value range entered as search conditions (5 if 5 ⁇ 1 is entered) can be included.
- “* 2” is a note indicating that a combination of pressure and spray angle not listed in the catalog is displayed. For example, it is shown in the column indicated by figure number 48. For example, for a No. 6 nozzle, the pressure is 1.8 bar, the flow rate is 21 / min, the spray angle is 43 °, but this spray angle 43 ° is a temporary spray angle and the pressure is 1.8 bar. It is not a numerical value of time. Therefore, note 2 is displayed and the actual pressure value corresponding to the spray angle is also shown. That is, it is displayed as 43 ° (at / 2.0 bar), so that the user can understand that the value is not the value at the time of the pressure of 1.8 bar. If it is not the temporary spray angle, the displayed pressure value corresponds to the spray angle. For example, for a No. 1 nozzle, the pressure reading is 2.0 bar, the spray angle reading is 65 ° (at 2.O bar), and the same pressure value is displayed. I have. Note “* 2” can be displayed based on the first identification data.
- “* 3” is a note to indicate that the flow rate and spray angle when spraying liquid other than water is indicated in the catalog.
- the search is performed on the assumption that water is used as the fluid. Therefore, if the catalog notation is based on a fluid other than water, this is displayed so that the user does not select the wrong nozzle.
- a note “* 3” is shown in the column indicated by figure 49. This note "* 3" It can be displayed based on the identification data.
- Fig. 43 shows a part of the display screen when a search is performed by the expert search, and is basically the same as Fig. 42 described earlier (only some of the items in the list are shown) ).
- the display forms of pressure, flow rate, and spray angle are different. That is, the liquid pressure (P w), gas pressure (P a), liquid flow rate (Q w), gas flow rate (Q a), and spray angle are displayed.
- the display forms of notes * 1, * 2, and * 3 are the same as described above.

- Each page has a mechanism that functions as a guide.
- the nozzle information retrieval system according to the present invention is designed to be used by users all over the world, and creates the entire page group based on Japanese and English. Also, for a third language other than Japanese and English, a method of creating the entire page group can be considered. However, as explained in Figs. 3 to 5, the number of pages in the entire site is enormous, and if all these pages are created in a third language, the page production costs will be enormous. In particular, the more the third language type, the more prominent. In addition, the server—the storage capacity of the system is limited. Therefore, Quick Guide pages (corresponding to specific pages) are also available in third languages other than Japanese and English. The quick guide is a page for explaining the main points of the search system. However, since this Quick Guide page cannot be placed on the top page, a system (guide means) that reliably guides the user from the top page to the Quick Guide is required.
