Samsung patents device to test fluid spray patterns

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung has been granted a patent for a testing machine that checks how fluid sprays from a specific surface called a baffle. The device uses a pressure sensor to measure the force of the fluid as it hits a lower container, allowing engineers to verify the spray's performance.

Why it mattersThis is a routine industrial tool that helps manufacturers ensure their fluid spraying components work correctly during production.

In the filing’s own words

A baffle inspection apparatus is provided and includes: a baffle including a spray surface configured to receive and spray fluid; an upper vessel coupled to the baffle such that the spray surface of the baffle faces downwards; an upper plate above the upper vessel and supporting the upper vessel; a lower vessel below the upper vessel and apart from the upper vessel and the upper plate; a pressure measurement sensor on an upper surface of the lower vessel; a lower plate on a lower surface of the lower vessel and supporting the lower vessel; and a support that supports the upper plate and the lower plate. The upper vessel includes a flow path pipe that is configured to supply the fluid to the baffle so that the fluid is sprayed from the spray surface of the baffle.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A baffle inspection apparatus comprising: a baffle comprising a spray surface configured to receive and spray fluid; an upper vessel coupled to the baffle such that the spray surface of the baffle faces downwards; an upper plate above the upper vessel and supporting the upper vessel; a lower vessel below the upper vessel and apart from the upper vessel and the upper plate; a pressure measurement sensor on an upper surface of the lower vessel; a lower plate on a lower surface of the lower vessel and supporting the lower vessel; and a support that supports the upper plate and the lower plate, wherein the upper vessel comprises a flow path pipe that is configured to supply the fluid to the baffle so that the fluid is sprayed from the spray surface of the baffle, and wherein the lower plate is movably connected to a vertically extending portion of the support, and the vertically extending portion of the support extends vertically past the lower plate and is connected to the upper plate.
