Abstract
The invention relates to a nozzle arrangement for applying fluids, in particular thermoplastic materials, to a substrate. The nozzle arrangement comprises a base body, which can be connected, preferably exchangeably, to a mounting region of a distributor, and a front lateral surface. A recessing region is configured in the front lateral surface of the base body. At least one first outlet opening and preferably a plurality of adjacently arranged first outlet openings for the fluid to be applied to the substrate is configured in the recessing region of the front lateral surface of the base body.
Claims9
A nozzle arrangement for applying fluids to a substrate, the nozzle arrangement comprising:
- a base body with a front lateral surface, the base body configured to be connected to a mounting region of a distributor, the base body including a recessing region configured in the front lateral surface of the base body, the recessing region including at least a first outlet opening in the front lateral surface of the base body for the fluid to be applied to the substrate;
- wherein, in the recessing region of the front lateral surface of the base body, at least one second outlet opening is further configured for passage of a gas;
- wherein, in the recessing region of the front lateral surface of the base body, a plurality of the first outlet openings is arranged adjacently in a first row, and wherein, in the recessing region of the front lateral surface of the base body, a plurality of the second outlet openings is arranged adjacently in a second row that is parallel to the first row;
- wherein, in the recessing region of the front lateral surface of the base body, a plurality of third outlet openings for the gas is arranged adjacently in a third row that is parallel to the first row, wherein the first row with the first outlet openings is arranged between the second and third rows with the second and third outlet openings;
- wherein the front lateral surface extends in a first direction, and wherein the at least the first outlet opening is configured in the recessing region of the front lateral surface of the base body such that the fluid to be applied to the substrate is discharged or dischargeable from the at least the first outlet opening in an oblique direction that extends obliquely with respect to the first direction;
- and
- wherein the recessing region comprises a first obliquely extending wall region extending obliquely with respect to the first direction, the first obliquely extending wall region connected via an edge or arc region to a first direction wall region extending in the first direction of the front lateral surface, wherein the at least the first outlet opening is positioned in the obliquely extending wall region of the recessing region.
