[0040] The adjustment mechanism comprises a valve cavity 7, a valve seat 11, a valve rod 8 and a spring 9, wherein:
[0041] The valve cavity 7 is directly communicated with the water outlet channel 6, and then indirectly communicated with the water inlet channel 5 through the overflow channel;
[0042] The valve seat 11 is arranged in the valve cavity 7, as shown, three grooves are arranged on it, the groove bottom of the middle groove is provided with a through hole 12, the through hole 12 can lead the valve cavity 7 inside the valve seat 11 and the connection between the valve cavity 7 and the overflow channel, the grooves on both sides are for arranging the sealing ring 13, so as to prevent the connection between the valve cavity 7 and the overflow channel from being communicated with other parts of the valve cavity 7, that is, the connection can only be communicated with the through hole 12, when the through hole 12 is blocked, the connection will be closed; Figure 5 The valve rod 8, as shown in
[0043] Figure 4 As shown, one end of the valve rod 8 is a spring head for mounting the spring 9, and the spring head is small at the top and large at the bottom, facilitating the spring 9 to be sleeved into the spring head, the other end is a fixed head for fixedly mounting the control device 10, and the lower part of the valve rod 8 is provided with a limiting protrusion 18 for matching the lower part of the valve seat 11, so that when the valve rod 8 moves upward to a certain position, the limiting protrusion 18 will abut against the lower part of the valve seat 11, so that the valve rod 8 cannot move upward any more, and because the upper part of the limiting protrusion 18 is designed as an inclined arc surface 19, and the lower part of the valve seat 11 is an annular surface, so when the limiting protrusion 18 moves upward and contacts the lower part of the valve seat 11, it is a point and surface contact, so it can well realize sealing, that is, the water outlet channel 6 and the inside of the valve seat 11 are sealed; the valve rod 8 is further provided with a transition surface, the transition surface includes a first surface 14, an inclined surface and a second surface 15, the diameter of the first surface 14 is larger than that of the second surface 15, and the transition surface is matched with the through hole 12 on the valve seat 11;
[0044] The spring 9 abuts against the bottom of the valve cavity 7 at one end and abuts against the lower end of the valve rod 8 at the other end, giving the valve rod 8 an acting force;
[0045] The working principle of the adjusting mechanism is that the valve rod 8 can vertically move in the valve seat 11;
[0046] When the valve rod 8 moves to the highest position, that is, the first position, at this time the limiting protrusion on the valve rod 8 abuts against the lower part of the valve seat 11 to seal, so that the water outlet channel 6 and the inside of the valve seat 11 are sealed and isolated, at the same time, at this time the first surface 14 on the valve rod 8 contacts and abuts against the through hole 12, which is equivalent to that the first surface 14 on the valve rod 8 blocks the through hole 12, at this time the inside of the valve seat 11 and the through hole 12 are also isolated and sealed, so that the water outlet channel 6, the inside of the valve seat 11 and the overflow channel are all isolated, at this time the water pressure and flow are the largest;
[0047] When the valve rod 8 moves downward to the bottom, at this time the valve rod 8 is in the second position, at this time the inclined arc surface 19 on the limiting protrusion is separated from the bottom of the valve seat 11, at this time the water outlet channel 6 and the inside of the valve seat 11 are completely communicated, and at this time the second surface 15 on the valve rod 8 is opposite to the through hole 12, because they are completely separated, so at this time the through hole 12 is also completely communicated, that is, the inside of the valve seat 11 and the overflow channel are completely communicated, at this time the water pressure and flow are the smallest;
[0048] When the valve rod 8 is between the first position and the second position, at this time the inclined arc surface 19 on the limiting protrusion is also separated from the bottom of the valve seat 11, that is, at this time the water outlet channel 6 is completely communicated with the inside of the valve seat 11, and at this time the inclined surface on the valve rod 8 is opposite to the through hole 12, so that the through hole 12 is partially communicated, and with the movement of the valve rod 8, the communication quantity is also always changing.
[0049] The control device 10 comprises a housing 21, a gear set 22, a control board 20 and a power mechanism 23 arranged in the housing 21, and a connecting part extending from the lower part of the housing 21, wherein:
[0050] The connecting part extends into the valve cavity 7 and is buckled with the valve body, and a long hole is arranged in the connecting part, the part of the long hole in the housing 21 is a threaded hole;
[0051] The gear set 22 comprises four gears, i.e. a first gear, a second gear, a third gear and a fourth gear, the four gears are sequentially engaged, the rotation shaft of the first gear is fixedly connected with the output shaft of the power mechanism 23, the power provided by the power mechanism 23 can drive the first gear to rotate, the rotation shaft of the fourth gear is threadedly connected with the threaded hole, and the lower end surface of the rotation shaft is further fixed with the upper end of the valve rod 8, so that the power mechanism 23 drives the gear set 22 to rotate, and then drives the rotation shaft of the fourth gear to move up and down in the threaded hole, and then drives the valve rod 8 to move up and down;
[0052] The power mechanism 23 is an electric motor in this embodiment;
[0053] The control board 20 is fixed in the housing 21 and is used for controlling the working of the power mechanism 23;
[0054] The working principle of the control device 10 is that the electric motor is controlled to work, the gear set 22 is driven to rotate, and then the position of the valve rod 8 moving up and down can be accurately controlled, so that the water pressure and flow of the water outlet can be controlled.
[0055] Embodiment two:
[0056] The difference from the embodiment one is that two inclined surfaces are arranged in the embodiment two, i.e. a first inclined surface 16 and a second inclined surface 17, and the inclination radian of the first inclined surface 16 is smaller than that of the second inclined surface 17, so that when the valve rod 8 is between the first position and the second position, the adjustment precision is higher, the change amount of the early-stage adjustment is smaller, and the change amount of the late-stage adjustment is larger.
[0057] Embodiment three:
[0058] The difference from the embodiment one is that two limit switches, a first limit switch 24 and a second limit switch 25, are further arranged in the shell 21 of the control device 10 in the embodiment three, both of which are electrically connected with the control board 20, and both of the first limit switch 24 and the second limit switch 25 are micro switches, mainly micro switches with elastic sheets, which are used to judge the position of the fourth gear and limit the position of the fourth gear, wherein the first limit switch 24 is used to limit the position of the fourth gear moving upward, and the second limit switch 25 is used to limit the position of the fourth gear moving downward, which is equivalent to limiting the moving range of the valve rod 8.
[0059] Embodiment four:
[0060] The difference from the embodiment one is that a wireless communication module is further arranged in the control device 10 in the embodiment four, so that a remote control switch can be arranged on the high-pressure water gun, and the wireless communication module can communicate with the remote control switch, so as to realize the remote control of the water pressure and the flow of the plunger pump, which is more convenient for adjustment.
