Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If manual adjustment of nozzle injection directions is used, then device complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision and operational efficiency deteriorate due to difficulty in achieving optimal angular alignment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the second nozzle rotatable around its central axis while maintaining its injection direction. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows operators to easily change the angular alignment between nozzles without complex structural modifications, resolving the contradiction between device simplicity and alignment precision by enabling flexible positioning through rotation rather than complex adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the positional parameter of the second nozzle by allowing it to rotate around its central axis. This parameter change enables precise angular alignment adjustment between the two nozzles while keeping the injection direction consistent, thereby achieving high manufacturing precision without increasing overall device complexity
2Device complexity
If manual adjustment of nozzle injection directions is used, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity deteriorates due to time-consuming adjustment processes
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable second nozzle provides a dynamic adjustment capability that significantly improves productivity. Operators can quickly adjust the angular alignment by simply rotating the nozzle rather than performing complex manual adjustments, thereby reducing adjustment time and increasing overall production efficiency while maintaining structural simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The nozzle rotation mechanism is designed to be easily operable without requiring complex tools or procedures. The self-contained rotational adjustment allows operators to perform alignment adjustments independently and efficiently, improving productivity without adding complex external control systems
3Device complexity
If fixed nozzle arrangement is used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates due to inability to optimize collision points for different applications
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable second nozzle provides adaptability by allowing the collision point between fluid jets to be optimized for different applications. The nozzle can be rotated to achieve optimal angular alignment for various fluid types, viscosities, and flow rates, thereby enhancing versatility while maintaining structural simplicity through a single rotational degree of freedom

Function Achieved in This Case
The device enhances the efficiency of particle atomization in fluid collisions, facilitating convenient industrial production line implementation by ensuring precise and stable collision points.
Implementation Method 1
causing the jets of the highly pressurized fluid injected from the first and second nozzle means to collide with each other to thereby effect homogenization of the fluid such as emulsification of the fluid or dispersion of minute particles in the fluid and/or atomization of particles in the fluid by impact-fragmentation
Implementation Method 2
atomization of particles in the fluid by impact-fragmentation (fragmentation by means of the collision between jets of a fluid)
Implementation Method 3
one of the first and second nozzle means is fixedly disposed and the other is provided with a turning mechanism for enabling the other to turn around the fixed injection direction as the axis of the turn while keeping the injection direction unchanged
