Abstract
A flow divider for diverging a fluid includes a main body that includes first and second side surfaces being opposite to each other along a central axis of the main body. The first side surface has a central segment transversely intersecting the central axis, and having an inlet channel recessed toward the second side surface, a generally annular channel surrounding the central segment, recessed toward the second side surface, and spatially communicated with the inlet channel at a junction space, and an inclined segment surrounding the annular channel. A width of the annular channel decreases gradually from a start measurement to an end measurement along a rotational direction with respect to the central axis.
Claims2
A flow divider adapted to be mounted in an atomization device for diverging a fluid, comprising:
- a main body that includes a first side surface and a second side surface being opposite to each other along a central axis of said main body, said first side surface having
- a central segment that transversely intersects the central axis, and that has an inlet channel recessed toward said second side surface,
- a generally annular channel that surrounds said central segment, that is recessed toward said second side surface, and that is spatially communicated with said inlet channel at a junction space disposed between two first imaginary lines that extend radially with respect to the central axis, and
- an inclined segment that surrounds said annular channel;
- wherein a width of said annular channel along a radial direction of the central axis has a start measurement along one of the first imaginary lines, and an end measurement along the other one of the first imaginary lines, the end measurement being smaller than the start measurement, the width of said annular channel decreasing gradually from the start measurement to the end measurement along a first rotational direction with respect to the central axis;
- and
- wherein said inclined segment has one of a first configuration, in which said inclined segment extends outwardly with respect to the central axis and toward said second side surface, and a second configuration, in which said inclined segment extends outwardly with respect to the central axis and away from said second side surface.
