Abstract
A flow rate adjustment structure includes: a fixed member including a fixed surface on which a fixed opening is formed; a movable member including a movable surface on which a movable opening is formed, and to be displaced relative to the fixed member; and an adjustment unit that variably adjusts an overlap area or an overlap frequency between the fixed opening and the movable opening by relatively displacing the movable surface along the fixed surface.

A flow rate adjustment structure configured to adjust a flow rate of a fluid, comprising:
- a fixed member including a fixed surface on which a fixed opening is formed;
- a movable member including a movable surface on which a movable opening is formed, and to be displaced relative to the fixed member;
- and
- an adjustment unit configured to variably adjust an overlap area or an overlap frequency between the fixed opening and the movable opening by relatively displacing the movable surface along the fixed surface.
A flow rate adjustment method for adjusting a flow rate of a fluid, comprising:
- disposing a fixed member that includes a fixed surface on which a fixed opening is formed, and a movable member that includes a movable surface on which a movable opening is formed and is displaced relative to the fixed member, so that the fixed member and the movable member face each other;
- and
- adjusting variably an overlap area or an overlap frequency between the fixed opening and the movable opening by relatively displacing the movable surface along the fixed surface.
A flow rate adjustment structure configured to adjust a flow rate of a fluid, comprising:
- a first guide member including
- a first passage through which the fluid passes and
- a first surface on which a first opening is formed that discharges the fluid that has passed through the first passage;
- a second guide member including a second surface on which a second opening is formed through which the fluid passes that is discharged from the first opening;
- and
- an adjustment unit configured to variably adjust an overlap area or an overlap frequency between the first opening and the second opening by relatively displacing one of the first surface and the second surface along the other.
