The fan nozzle is widely used in the process of pest control in agriculture and forestry. The spray angle of the nozzle is an important characterization parameter in the atomization of liquids. The spray angle of the nozzle is an important characterizing parameter in the liquid atomization process. It affects the flow field at the exit of the nozzle, thereby affecting the size and velocity of the droplets, and further affecting the deposition effect of the droplets on the crop. Therefore, its research is of great significance for improving the deposition of liquid on plants and controlling pests and related diseases. Based on the classical theory of predecessors and considering the parameters of the flat fan nozzle, we further optimized the theory at the structural level by means of a simulation test and built a spray angle theoretical model taking into account the parameters of the inner chamber of the nozzle. We arrived at the following conclusions: (1) the average error of the spray angle measured by the simulation test and the actual test spray angle was 2.95%, the maximum spray angle deviation value was 2.81°, and the result proves that the simulation test parameter setting is accurate; and (2) the average error between the actual measured value and the theoretical model calculation value was 3.56%, the maximum spray angle deviation was 4°, through the actual test comparison, and the spray angle error of the theoretical model was within the allowable error range of industry production. It was proved that the model could effectively reflect the changing law of spray angle of the flat fan nozzle.
