DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The technical contents, purposes and effects of the invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings.

The key conception of the invention lies in that a liquid outlet in a rotationally symmetric shape and a corresponding liquid outlet channel are used to enable a discharged liquid column to be in a special shape.

Referring to FIG. 1-FIG. 21, a device for controlling the shape of discharged liquid comprises a liquid inlet end and a liquid outlet end, wherein a passage allowing liquid to flow therein is disposed between the liquid inlet end and the liquid outlet end, the liquid outlet end comprises a liquid outlet which is in a rotationally symmetric structure, the liquid inlet end comprises a liquid inlet which is formed in one end of the passage, a liquid outlet channel is disposed between the liquid outlet and the other end of the passage and is communicated with the passage, and cross-sections of different positions of the liquid outlet channel in a liquid outlet direction are in a rotationally symmetric shape corresponding to the shape of the liquid outlet.

The working principle of the invention is as follows: liquid flows out along the liquid outlet channel via the liquid outlet in the rotationally symmetric shape to form a liquid column in a special shape; when the liquid continuously flows into air to form the liquid column, the cross-section of the liquid column gradually tends to be circular under the acting force of liquid molecules.

During the falling process, the cross-section of the liquid column will become circular gradually; after becoming circular, the cross-section of the liquid column will continue to change under the action of the internal pressure and inertia force of the liquid to be in a shape which is centrally symmetric with the shape of the liquid outlet; The liquid continues to fall, and the cross-section of the liquid column tends to be circular again; the liquid continues to fall, the cross-section of the liquid columns changes to be in the same shape as the liquid outlet; and during the subsequent liquid falling process of the liquid, the cross-section of the liquid column changes repeatedly and cyclically in the falling direction to form a non-rotational liquid column.

From the above description, the invention has the following beneficial effects: by means of the liquid outlet in a rotationally symmetric shape and the corresponding liquid outlet channel, a discharged liquid column has a special shape under the acting force of liquid molecules in air.

Further, the liquid outlet is in an axially symmetric shape.

From the above description, the liquid outlet in an axially symmetric shape can keep the cross-section of the liquid column in balance when the cross-section of the liquid column changes, thus prolonging the duration of the liquid column in a special shape.

Further, the liquid outlet channel is rotationally twisted with the center axis of the liquid outlet channel as a rotation center, and the cross-sections of different positions of the rotationally twisted liquid outlet channel in the liquid outlet direction are in a rotationally symmetric shape corresponding to the shape of the liquid outlet.

From the above description, by means of the liquid outlet in a rationally symmetric shape and the corresponding rotationally twisted liquid outlet channel, when liquid flows out along the rotationally twisted liquid outlet channel to form a liquid column, a centrifugal force for the liquid to rotate around the center axis of the liquid column will be generated; according to different degrees of rotational twisting of the liquid outlet channel, the centrifugal force can counteract part of or all the acting force of liquid molecules, so the liquid column can resist deformation and have a special shape.

Further, the area of the liquid outlet is smaller than the areas of the cross-sections of the liquid outlet channel, a guide section is disposed on an inner wall of the liquid outlet channel and is communicated with the liquid outlet, and the area of a cross-section of the guide section is constant or decreases gradually in the liquid outlet direction.

From the above description, the guide section is disposed on the inner wall of the liquid outlet channel and is used for limiting the flow direction of liquid to enable the liquid to flow smoothly, such that the liquid can flow from a portion with a large cross-sectional area to a portion with a small cross-sectional area; and under the action of pressure, the liquid tends to flow smoothly, and a discharged liquid column can be maintained in a special shape for a long time.

Further, a slow-down section is disposed in at least one of the passage and the liquid outlet channel, the area of a cross-section of the slow-down section decreases gradually in the liquid outlet direction, and a change rate of the area of the cross-section of the slow-down section decreases gradually in the liquid outlet direction.

From the above description, the slow-down section is disposed in the passage or the liquid outlet channel to guide liquid to some extent and limit the flow direction of liquid to enable the liquid to flow smoothly, and the change rate of the area of the cross-section of the slow-down section decreases gradually in the liquid outlet direction, such that the slow-down effect can be further improved.

Further, at least one slow-down section is disposed in the liquid outlet channel.

From the above description, multiple slow-down sections may be disposed in the liquid outlet channel to fulfill a multi-stage slow-down effect to ensure that liquid flows in the passage smoothly.

Further, at least one slow-down section is disposed in the passage.

From the above description, multiple slow-down sections may be disposed in the passage to a multi-stage slow-down effect to ensure that liquid flows in the passage smoothly.

Further, cross-sections of different positions of the passage in the liquid outlet direction are in a same shape and are of a rotationally symmetric structure, and areas of the cross-sections in the passage are equal.

From the above description, the cross-sections which are in the same shape and have equal areas are disposed in the passage to limit liquid that flows disorderly, and after the disordered liquid flows through the passage by a certain length, the flow direction of the liquid tends to be stable; and the cross-sections of the passage are of a rotationally symmetric structure, such that the liquid can flow into the liquid outlet channel smoothly.

Further, guide ribs are disposed in the passage and are perpendicular to the liquid outlet direction.

From the above description, the guide ribs perpendicular to the liquid outlet direction are disposed in the passage, can retard the flowing of liquid to some extent, and can limit the flow direction of the liquid to keep the flow direction of the liquid in order; and the guide ribs can limit the pressure and flow speed of liquid flowing in from the liquid inlet end.

Further, a filter device used for decreasing the pressure of liquid and slowing down the liquid is disposed at an end, close to the liquid outlet channel, in the passage.

From the above description, considering that a turbulent flow or a local high-speed flow will be formed by liquid entering air from the device for controlling the shape of discharged liquid under the action of pressure variation, the filter device is disposed in the passage, and a pressure difference can be formed between an inflow side and an outflow side of the filter device, such that after the liquid flows through the filter device, the liquid can flow smoothly without changing the flow speed, and the pressure of the liquid can be decreased.

Further, at least one liquid outlet is formed, at least one liquid outlet channel is disposed, and the at least one liquid outlet channel is in one-to-one correspondence with the at least one liquid outlet.
