Bowl-like Rotating Sleeve Conveyer Patents (Class 239/216)
  • Patent number: 10718535
    Abstract: Provided is a humidification and air cleaning apparatus. The humidification and air cleaning apparatus includes a water tank storing water; a visual body forming at least a portion of the water tank and formed of a transparent material; a watering housing disposed in the water tank, drawing water stored in the water tank to pump water to an upper side, and spraying the pumped water; a nozzle disposed in the watering housing and spraying the pumped water; and a watering motor rotating the watering housing. Here, when the watering housing rotates, water sprayed from the nozzle forms at least one spray line on an inner side surface of the visual body.

  • Patent number: 9372008
    Abstract: A humidifier includes a housing with a substantially open top portion. Water can be added to the humidifier by pouring the water into a water reservoir through an open top. The water is pumped from the water reservoir to an upper portion of the humidifier where it is dispersed into the environment by a flow of air. The humidifier may include both an ultrasonic nebulizer and a heater to provide a warm mix of cool mist and hot vapor. Alternatively, a warm mist can be provided by dispersed water from an ultrasonic nebulizer in combination with warm air. The humidifier may also solely provide a cool mist from an ultrasonic element, or the water can be dispersed using a wicking filter.

  • Patent number: 6601778
    Abstract: A centrifugal humidifier having a rotatable body for propelling water outwardly on to an impingement surface that brake up the propelled water into droplets which are then entrained in a stream of air and discharged to the surroundings, wherein the impingement surface has a multiplicity of sawtooth ridges oriented with the more gradually inclined sides facing toward the direction from which the water is propelled by the rotatable body which promotes breaking up the water into finer droplets.

  • Patent number: 5893515
    Abstract: A device for generating a spray of mist or fine droplets includes a spinning rotor within a mist chamber. The rotor has inner walls which taper conically outwardly from the open bottom of the rotor to a hole near the top of the rotor. Liquid is pumped by a finger actuated pump from a cartridge module into a bowl surrounding the bottom end of the rotor. A spray is created as the liquid is formed into droplets as it passes through the hole in the rotor under centrifugal force. A directional light source is used for aiming the spray.

  • Patent number: 4222523
    Abstract: A rotary atomizer suitable for spraying crops with liquid is driven by the liquid itself. The atomizer comprises a hollow, truncated cone, a central axial shaft extending through the interior of the cone, a liquid jet driven turbine on the shaft, and an opening in the turbine so that liquid flows from the turbine to the interior of the cone.The liquid may be used at pressure of 0.7 to 10 bars gauge and feed rates of 10 to 1,000 ml/min, with the rate of feed being equal to the rate of discharge so that there is no liquid recycle.

  • Patent number: 3983694
    Abstract: A generally cup-shaped fuel slinger concentrically secured by its base portion to a rotatable shaft located in a combustion chamber and having a radially inwardly extending lip at its open end provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced notches opening toward the shaft and spaced at their bottommost portion from the inner annular surface of the slinger side wall. Fuel is delivered by a single tube through the open end of the slinger and is centrifuged outwardly against the inner annular surface of the slinger side wall, and thereafter delivered from the slinger to the combustion chamber through the notches. The slinger is located between a radial turbine and a compressor of a gas turbine engine. The fuel supply tube projects axially through a vane in the diffuser, radially along the diffuser, and then axially into the fuel slinger between the lip and the outer periphery of the adjacent shaft portion. In the disclosed embodiment the notches are generally V-shaped.
