Abstract

A gas and liquid knife and a control method thereof are provided. The gas and liquid knife includes a chamber and a knife head. An ejection opening is provided at the knife head The knife head has a first knife lip and a second knife lip. The ejection opening is defined between a first inner wall of the first knife lip and a second inner wall of the second knife lip. The chamber is defined between the first wall plate and the second wall plate slidably connected with each other. The first knife lip connects to the first wall plate. The second knife lip connects to the second wall plate. The first knife lip and second knife lip moves relatively as the first wall plate and the second wall plate slides relatively, such that a minimum distance between the first inner wall and the second inner wall could be changed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A gas and liquid knife, comprising:
a chamber and a knife head provided at the chamber; an ejection opening is provided at the knife head, which communicates with an internal of the chamber; wherein the knife head has a first knife lip and a second knife lip, the ejection opening is defined between a first inner wall of the first knife lip and a second inner wall of the second knife lip; wherein the chamber is defined between the first wall plate and the second wall plate slidably connected with each other, and provided with an inlet; the first knife lip connects to the first wall plate, and the second knife lip connects to the second wall plate, the first knife lip and second knife lip move relatively as the first wall plate and the second wall plate slides relatively, such that a minimum distance between the first inner wall and the second inner wall could be changed.

2 . The gas and liquid knife according to claim 1 , wherein a plane of the first inner wall and a plane of the second inner wall intersect and create an intersection line unparalleled with an ejection direction of the ejection opening; and the minimum distance between the first inner wall and the second inner wall is reduced along the ejection direction.

3 . The gas and liquid knife according to claim 2 , wherein intersection line defined by the plane of the first inner wall and the plane of the second inner wall is perpendicular to the ejection direction of the ejection opening.

4 . The gas and liquid knife according to claim 2 , wherein an angle is existed between the plane of the first inner wall and the ejection direction, and an angle is existed between the plane of the second inner wall and the ejection direction.

5 . The gas and liquid knife according to claim 1 , further comprising a scale assembly disposed at the first wall plate and the second wall plate for illustrating a relative moving distance between the first knife lip and second knife lip.

6 . The gas and liquid knife according to claim 1 , further comprising a movement assembly having a holder and an adjusting screw;
wherein the holder connects to the second wall plate, and the adjusting screw movably connects to the holder and threaded connects to the first wall plate; a length direction of the adjusting screw is parallel to a slide direction of the first wall plate relative to the second wall plate; as rotation of the adjusting screw, the first wall plate slides relatively to the second wall plate accordingly.

7 . The gas and liquid knife according to claim 6 , further comprising a measure assembly having a dial and a scale mark portion for illustrating a relative movement distance between the first knife lip and second knife lip;
wherein the dial fixedly connects to the adjusting screw, and the scale mark portion is provided on the holder.

8 . The gas and liquid knife according to claim 7 , wherein the movement assembly further comprises a spring with one end connecting to the holder and the other end connecting to the first wall plate; and a length direction of the spring is parallel to the length direction of the adjusting screw.

9 . The gas and liquid knife according to claim 1 , wherein the first inner wall and the second inner wall are rectangle, and an end of the first inner wall away from the first wall plate is parallel to an end of the second inner wall away from the second wall plate.

10 . A control method of a gas and liquid knife, wherein the gas and liquid knife comprises a chamber and a knife head provided at the chamber; wherein an ejection opening is provided at the knife head, which communicates with an internal of the chamber; wherein the knife head has a first knife lip and a second knife lip, the ejection opening is defined between a first inner wall of the first knife lip and a second inner wall of the second knife lip;
wherein the chamber is defined between the first wall plate and the second wall plate slidably connected with each other and provided with an inlet; the first knife lip connects to the first wall plate, and the second knife lip connects to the second wall plate, the first knife lip and second knife lip move relatively as the first wall plate and the second wall plate slides relatively, such that a minimum distance between the first inner wall and the second inner wall could be changed; the control method comprising: obtaining a preset width of the ejection opening; controlling the first wall plate and the second wall plate to slide relatively until the minimum distance between the first inner wall and the second inner wall is equal to the preset width of the ejection opening; and injecting gas or liquid into the chamber via the inlet, and ejecting the gas or liquid via the ejection opening.
