Acoustic force assisted painting system

An acoustic force assisted painting system comprising:

• a housing having a conduit for receiving paint from an external source into the housing, the housing having at least one acoustic chamber having at plurality of side walls defining an open space of the at least one acoustic chamber;
• at least one nozzle disposed in the housing, the at least one nozzle having an inlet that is fluidly connected to the conduit to receive paint from the conduit, the at least one nozzle having an outlet that dispenses paint;
• and
• at least one acoustic emitter supported on at least one side wall of the plurality of sidewalls at a location downstream of the inlet with respect to the conduit, the at least one acoustic emitter being configured to emit an acoustic force from the at least one acoustic chamber past the open space towards the nozzle;
• wherein the at least one acoustic emitter is positioned closer to the outlet than to the inlet of the at least one nozzle;
• wherein the at least one nozzle includes a plurality of nozzles, each of the plurality of nozzles having a respective inlet that is fluidly connected to the conduit that receives paint;
• wherein the plurality of nozzles extends through the open space of the acoustic chamber;
• wherein the acoustic chamber includes an upstream side wall and a downstream side wall, the downstream side wall being positioned closer to respective outlets of the plurality of nozzles than to the respective inlets, and the at least one acoustic emitter being positioned on the downstream side wall;
• wherein the downstream side wall of the acoustic chamber includes a plurality of openings, each of the openings receiving one of the outlets of the plurality of nozzles;
• wherein each of the plurality of openings extend into a plurality of channels that each open to an exterior of the housing.
