A fluidic component for generating an ultrasound signal is provided. The fluidic component includes a flow chamber, which can be flowed through by a fluid flow, which enters the flow chamber through an inlet opening of the flow chamber and exits from the flow chamber through an outlet opening of the flow chamber. The fluidic component has at least one device for forming an oscillation of the fluid flow at the outlet opening, the oscillation taking place in an oscillation plane, a separation device, which is designed to separate off a part from the oscillating fluid flow. The separation device includes an inlet opening, through which the oscillating fluid flow enters the separation device, and at least one first outlet opening and at least one second outlet opening, through each of which a part of the oscillating fluid flow exits.

A spray nozzle assembly for producing an oscillating spray discharge is provided. The spray nozzle assembly includes a nozzle body with a liquid inlet passage that converges via an inwardly converging conical section that defines a liquid inlet orifice. An expansion chamber communicates in a downstream direction with the liquid inlet orifice. An exit orifice communicates in the downstream direction with the expansion chamber. A pair of longitudinal veins and a pair of outwardly disposed feedback passages are provided in the expansion chamber. Each vein defines a respective downstream orifice to a respective one of the feedback passages adjacent the exit orifice and an upstream orifice to the respective one of the feedback passages adjacent the inlet orifice.

Various implementations include a fluidic oscillator having at least one control port. The at least one control port is for introducing a control fluid into the fluidic oscillator or suctioning the fluid stream from the fluidic oscillator. The introduction of a control fluid into the fluidic oscillator or suction of the fluid stream from the fluidic oscillator alters the frequency and sweeping angle of the oscillating fluid stream as it exits the fluidic oscillator. Various other implementations include a fluidic oscillator having a first control port defined by the first portion of the outlet nozzle and a second control port defined by the second portion of the outlet nozzle. The introduction of a control fluid into the fluidic oscillator or suction of the fluid stream from the fluidic oscillator through the control ports alters the exit angle of the oscillating fluid stream as it exits the fluidic oscillator.
