Abstract

The disclosure relates to a nozzle device for emitting at least one emission medium onto a component, preferably onto a fold, an edge or a transition joint of the component. The nozzle device comprises at least two nozzle plates arranged adjoining one another, wherein a first nozzle plate comprises at least one opening for emitting at least one emission jet and a second nozzle plate comprises at least two openings for emitting at least two emission jets.

Claims (24)

1. A nozzle device for emitting at least one emission medium onto a component, characterised in that the nozzle device comprises:

at least two nozzle plates arranged adjoining one another, the at least two nozzle plates including a first nozzle plate having at least one opening for emitting at least one emission jet and a second nozzle plate having at least two openings for emitting at least two emission jets, the first nozzle plate and the second nozzle plate being thinner at the at least one and the at least two openings than adjacent the at least one and the at least two openings; and

wherein the at least one emission jet from the first nozzle plate defines a jet width and the first nozzle plate comprises an opening configuration for the at least one opening, the opening configuration formed concave.

2. The nozzle device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate are oriented inwardly so that the at least two emission jets of the second nozzle plate converge to one another.

3. The nozzle device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the first nozzle plate comprises an entry opening and the second nozzle plate comprises an entry opening and the entry opening of the first nozzle plate and the entry opening of the second nozzle plate are spatially separated from one another.

4. The nozzle device according to claim 3 , characterised in that the nozzle device comprises a feed channel for the at least one emission medium, by means of which the at least one emission medium is feedable to the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate and to the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate, so that the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate and the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate are bringable into fluidic connection with the same feed channel.

5. The nozzle device according to claim 4 , characterised in that the nozzle device comprises at least one valve, and the valve is configured for optional activation or deactivation of an emission of an emission medium from the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate and/or an emission of an emission medium from the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate.

6. The nozzle device according to claim 5 , characterised in that the nozzle device comprises a bottom component which serves as a base for the at least two nozzle plates and arranged in the bottom component is a first feed portion for feeding the emission medium to the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate and a second feed portion for feeding the emission medium to the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate.

7. The nozzle device according to claim 6 , characterised in that the first feed portion and the second feed portion are suppliable with emission medium through the feed channel.

8. The nozzle device according to claim 6 , characterised in that the valve is configured for the optional opening or closing of the second feed portion and not the first feed portion.

9. The nozzle device according to claim 6 , characterised in that the valve is accommodated at least in sections in the bottom component.

10. The nozzle device according to claim 6 , characterised in that the nozzle device comprises a plate holder for holding the at least two nozzle plates, the plate holder receiving the bottom component.

11. The nozzle device according to claim 10 , characterised in that the valve is accommodated at least in sections in the plate holder.

12. The nozzle device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate is configured as a slit opening for emitting a flat jet and/or the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate are configured as slit openings for the emission of at least two flat jets.

13. The nozzle device according to claim 12 , characterised in that the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate are oriented in a same plane or are oriented at least parallel to one another.

14. The nozzle device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate and the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate are arranged offset in a transverse direction of the first nozzle plate and of the second nozzle plate, but are oriented in substantially parallel planes.

15. The nozzle device according to claim 1 , characterised in that

the first nozzle plate comprises a horn structure protruding away from the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate on two sides with two inwardly formed inner flanks in order to deflect inwardly the emission medium issued from the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate.

16. The nozzle device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the nozzle device comprises at least one third nozzle plate, the third nozzle plate serves to close the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate with the first nozzle plate closing the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate opposite the third nozzle plate in a peripheral direction or the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate with the second nozzle plate closing the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate opposite the third nozzle plate in the peripheral direction.

17. The nozzle device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the first nozzle plate serves to close the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate in a peripheral direction with the second nozzle plate closing the at least two openings of the second nozzle plate opposite the first nozzle plate or the second nozzle plate serves to close the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate in the peripheral direction with the first nozzle plate closing the at least one opening of the first nozzle plate opposite the second nozzle plate.

18. The nozzle device according to claim 1 , characterised in that at least two of the following nozzle plates are configured on an output side complementary to one another at least in sections:

the first nozzle plate,

the second nozzle plate,

a third nozzle plate.
