Abstract
An applicator system for applying a material to a substrate is disclosed, the applicator system having a nozzle assembly that includes a nozzle having a nozzle head. The nozzle assembly also includes a baffle plate including a cutout that extends through the baffle plate, where the baffle plate is received by the nozzle head such that the nozzle head and the baffle plate define a cavity. The nozzle assembly further includes a cover plate attached to the nozzle head such that the cover plate secures the baffle plate within the nozzle head, where an outlet passage is defined between the baffle plate and the cover plate, the outlet passage being fluidly connected to the cavity through the cutout of the baffle plate.
Claims20
An applicator system for applying a material to a substrate, the applicator system comprising:
- a material supply configured to store and heat the material;
- a pump fluidly connected to the material supply;
- a valve configured to control operation of the pump;
- and
- a nozzle assembly configured to receive the material from the pump and dispense the material onto the substrate, the nozzle assembly comprising:
- a nozzle comprising a nozzle head;
- a baffle plate comprising a cutout that extends through the baffle plate, wherein the baffle plate is received by the nozzle head such that the nozzle head and the baffle plate define a cavity;
- and
- a cover plate attached to the nozzle head such that the cover plate secures the baffle plate within the nozzle head, wherein an outlet passage is defined between the baffle plate and the cover plate, the outlet passage being fluidly connected to the cavity through the cutout of the baffle plate.
A nozzle assembly for dispensing a material, the nozzle assembly comprising:
- a nozzle comprising a nozzle head having a body that comprises a side surface and a nozzle recess extending into the body from the side surface;
- a baffle plate comprising a cutout that extends through the baffle plate, wherein the baffle plate is received in the nozzle recess such that the nozzle head and the baffle plate define a cavity;
- and
- a cover plate attached to the nozzle head such that the cover plate secures the baffle plate within the nozzle recess,
- wherein an outlet passage is defined between the baffle plate and the cover plate, the outlet passage being fluidly connected to the cavity through the cutout of the baffle plate, wherein the baffle plate has an upper surface, a lower surface opposite the upper surface along a vertical direction, a front surface, and a rear surface opposite the front surface along a longitudinal direction that is perpendicular to the vertical direction, wherein the cutout extends 1) into the baffle plate from the upper surface and 2) from the front surface to the rear surface.
