Liquid film is eliminated pattern
The mist maker of present embodiment comprises liquid film elimination pattern, perhaps can work in this pattern, hereinafter will describe in detail.
With reference to figure 7, permeation liquid L can discharge surperficial 12a at mist and form liquid level or liquid film LF.For example, do not use when 3 a period of times of mist maker, infiltrate into mist by hole 10 and discharge the liquid film LF that the L shaped one-tenth covering of the liquid mist of surperficial 12a is discharged surperficial 12a.The liquid film LF that mist is discharged on the surperficial 12a can be so that mist be discharged unstable.
The mist maker of present embodiment comprises normal mode and liquid film elimination pattern, perhaps can work under these two kinds of patterns.Normal mode is so that oscillating membrane 12 vibrates to discharge mist (with reference to figure 5).Liquid film is eliminated pattern and is discharged liquid film LF on the surperficial 12a so that oscillating membrane 12 vibrates to eliminate mist.
In the present embodiment, in the liquid film oscillation mode, the oscillation energy of oscillating membrane 12 increases.Oscillation energy according to the input power control oscillating membrane 12 that is supplied to piezoelectric oscillator 13.
For example, with reference to figure 8, in the controlled time period after mist maker 3 starts, control circuit 4 (with reference to figure 1) is with the input power W value of being increased to W1 of piezoelectric oscillator 13, and it is greater than the input power value W0 of normal mode.In the present embodiment, the increase of input power W and is eliminated mist and is discharged liquid film LF on the surperficial 12a so that the oscillation energy of oscillating membrane 12 increases.
When mist maker 3 starts, automatically perform liquid film and eliminate pattern.Carry out after the liquid film elimination pattern, control circuit 4 is eliminated pattern with input power W from being used for liquid film value W1 is decreased to the value W0 (switch mode) for normal mode gradually.In the normal mode, the input power W that control circuit 4 will be supplied to piezoelectric oscillator 13 is controlled to be steady state value (W0).
The liquid film of now describing present embodiment is eliminated the work of pattern.
