[0029] This utility model provides a high-pressure washer, which can be a handheld high-pressure washer, etc. The following description will use a handheld high-pressure washer as an example. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A preferred embodiment of the high-pressure cleaner provided by this utility model is shown.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the high-pressure washer 1000 includes a motor assembly 100, a plunger 200, a transmission assembly 300, a pump body 400, and a movable component 500. A transmission assembly 300 is disposed between the plunger 200 and the motor assembly 100, so that the motor assembly 100 drives the transmission assembly 300 to reciprocate the plunger 200. The transmission assembly 300 includes a housing 310, which has a plunger chamber 311 for receiving one end of the plunger 200 near the transmission assembly 300. The housing 310 has a portion that connects to the plunger... The pump body 400 has a through hole 312 connected to the plunger chamber 311; the pump body 400 has a pressure chamber 411 that houses the end of the plunger 200 away from the transmission assembly 300, so that external water source enters from the inlet end 420 of the pump body 400, is pressurized by the plunger 200 and discharged from the outlet end 430 of the pump body 400, and the pressure chamber 411 is connected to the plunger chamber 311; the movable member 500 is sleeved on the plunger 200 so that when the plunger 200 reciprocates, the movable member 500 drives the water vapor in the plunger chamber 311 to flow out from the through hole 312.
[0031] Specifically, the motor shaft of the motor assembly 100 is connected to the input end of the transmission assembly 300. Thus, when the motor assembly 100 starts, its motor shaft rotates, driving the transmission assembly 300. The motor assembly 100 includes a motor housing, and the transmission assembly 300 includes a housing 310. The housing 310 and the motor housing can be fixed together by screws or snap-fit connections; alternatively, the housing 310 and the motor housing can be integrally formed. The main body of the transmission assembly 300 is housed within the housing 310, and a plunger chamber 311 for housing the plunger 200 is formed within the housing 310. One axial end of the plunger 200 is connected to the output end of the transmission assembly 300. Thus, when the motor assembly 100 drives the transmission assembly 300, the transmission assembly 300 can drive the plunger 200 to reciprocate along its axial direction. The axial direction of the plunger 200 is defined as the front-to-back direction, and the end of the plunger 200 that connects to the transmission assembly 300 is the rear end of the plunger 200.
[0032] The pump body 400 has an inlet end 420 and an outlet end 430. The pump body 400 includes a pump casing 410, within which a pressure chamber 411 is formed. The pressure chamber 411 connects the inlet end 420 and the outlet end 430, allowing external water to enter the pressure chamber 411 from the inlet end 420 and exit from the outlet end 430. Typically, the inlet end 420 and the outlet end 430 are equipped with an inlet check valve 421 and an outlet check valve 431, respectively. The pump casing 410 is fixedly connected to the housing 310, which can be fixed together by screws or clips; alternatively, the pump casing 410 and the housing 310 can be integrally formed. Pressure chamber 411 and plunger chamber 311 are respectively located at the connection between pump casing 410 and housing 310. The rear end of plunger 200 is located in plunger chamber 311, while the front end of plunger 200 extends into pressure chamber 411. Thus, external water enters pressure chamber 411 from inlet end 420, and after being pressurized by the reciprocating plunger 200, the water in pressure chamber 411 can be discharged from outlet end 430 to outside pump body 400.
[0033] Water entering the pressure chamber 411 is pressurized by the reciprocating plunger 200. A portion of the water is compressed into water vapor, which flows into the plunger chamber 311 from the connection between the pump housing 410 and the housing 310. The housing 310 has a through-hole 312 that penetrates both the outer surface of the housing 310 and the inner surface of the plunger chamber 311, allowing the through-hole 312 to connect the plunger chamber 311 to the outside of the housing 310. A movable member 500 is fixedly fitted onto the plunger 200, enabling the plunger 200 to drive the movable member 500 in a reciprocating motion along the front-to-back direction. During this reciprocating motion, the movable member 500 intensifies the flow of water vapor entering the plunger chamber 311, allowing the water vapor to flow out of the housing 310 through the through-hole 312.
[0034] The high-pressure washer 1000 of this utility model has a through hole 312 on the housing 310 that communicates with the plunger chamber 311. A movable part 500 is sleeved on the plunger 200. During the reciprocating motion of the movable part 500 along with the plunger 200, the movable part 500 can amplify the flow of water vapor entering the plunger chamber 311, so that the water vapor entering the plunger chamber 311 flows out of the housing 310 through the through hole 312.
[0035] A movable part 500 is fixedly sleeved on the plunger 200. The movable part 500 can be fixedly sleeved on the plunger 200 by means of adhesive fixation, snap-fit fixation or clamping fixation; the movable part 500 can also be integrally formed with the plunger 200.
[0036] The specific configuration of the movable component 500 can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the movable component 500 can be a metal ring, a sealing ring, etc. Optionally, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the movable part 500 is a ring-shaped rubber part.
[0037] Specifically, the movable part 500 is a rubber sealing ring. The inner diameter of the movable part 500 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the plunger 200, so that the movable part 500 can be clamped and fixed on the plunger 200. This setting method of the movable part 500 and the installation method of the movable part 500 on the plunger 200 are relatively simple.
[0038] The movable element 500 is typically coaxial or nearly coaxial with the plunger 200. The number of movable elements 500 can be one or multiple elements arranged along the axial direction of the plunger 200. Optionally, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, there is one movable part 500. The following will take the example of a movable part 500 sleeved on the plunger 200.
[0039] During the reciprocating motion of the movable part 500 along with the plunger 200, the movable part 500 can always be located in the plunger chamber 311; the movable part 500 can also always be located in the pressure chamber 411; the movable part 500 can also reciprocate between the plunger chamber 311 and the pressure chamber 411, so that the movable part 500 can enter the pressure chamber 411 from the plunger chamber 311, and the movable part 500 can also enter the plunger chamber 311 from the pressure chamber 411.
[0040] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the movable component 500 is located inside the plunger chamber 311.
[0041] Specifically, when the motor assembly 100 is not started, the plunger 200 is in its initial position, and the movable part 500 is located inside the plunger chamber 311. When the motor assembly 100 is started, the movable part 500 remains inside the plunger chamber 311 as it reciprocates along with the plunger 200. This reciprocating movement of the movable part 500 within the plunger chamber 311 facilitates increased flow of water vapor entering the plunger chamber 311, allowing the water vapor to better exit through the through-hole 312 to the outside of the housing 310.
[0042] When the plunger 200 is in its initial position, the movable member 500 can be located in front of or behind the through hole 312; the movable member 500 can also be at least partially opposite the through hole 312 in the radial direction of the plunger 200. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, when the plunger 200 is in the initial position, the movable member 500 and the through hole 312 are opposite each other in the radial direction of the plunger 200.
[0043] Specifically, the axial dimension of the through hole 312 of the plunger 200 is greater than or equal to the axial dimension of the movable member 500 of the plunger 200. This allows the movable member 500 to be radially opposite to the through hole 312 when the plunger 200 is in its initial position. This facilitates the flow of water vapor near the through hole 312 through the movable member 500, allowing the water vapor near the through hole 312 to flow out more effectively from the through hole 312.
[0044] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the range of motion of the movable part 500 driven by the plunger 200 does not exceed the two ends of the through hole 312 in the axial direction of the plunger 200.
[0045] Specifically, the through hole 312 extends along the axial direction of the plunger 200, such that the through hole 312 has a front edge and a rear edge that are opposite to each other. The movable member 500 has a range of motion under the action of the plunger 200, with a front limit position at the foremost side and a rear limit position at the rearmost side, so that the movable member 500 can reciprocate between the front limit position and the rear limit position under the action of the plunger 200. When the movable part 500 is in the front limit position, it is located behind the front edge of the through hole 312; when the movable part 500 is in the rear limit position, it is located in front of the rear edge of the through hole 312. This ensures that the range of motion of the movable part 500 does not exceed the front and rear ends of the through hole 312. In other words, during the reciprocating motion of the movable part 500 along with the plunger 200, the entire movable part 500 can always be opposite the through hole 312 in the radial direction of the plunger 200. This is beneficial for the reciprocating motion of the movable part 500 to intensify the flow of water vapor near the through hole 312, so that the water vapor near the through hole 312 can flow out from the through hole 312 better.
[0046] The specific number of through holes 312 can be set according to the actual situation. There can be one through hole 312. For example, the housing 310 is provided with an annular through hole extending along the circumference of the plunger 200. There can also be multiple through holes 312 spaced apart along the circumference of the plunger 200.
[0047] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, four through holes 312 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the plunger 200, which facilitates the flow of water vapor in the plunger chamber 311 out through the multiple through holes 312 arranged along the circumference of the plunger 200.
[0048] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a water seal 440 is provided in the pressure chamber 411. The water seal 440 is sleeved on the plunger 200, and the movable part 500 is located on the side of the water seal 440 close to the plunger chamber 311.
[0049] Specifically, an annular receiving groove is provided on the inner surface of the pressure chamber 411, with the opening of the annular receiving groove facing backward. An annular water seal 440 is fixedly installed in the annular receiving groove and is sleeved on the front end of the plunger 200. The plunger 200 can move back and forth relative to the water seal 440. The water seal 440 is located on the front side of the movable part 500, or in other words, the water seal 440 is located between the movable part 500 and the pressure chamber 411. Thus, the water seal 440 is installed at the connection between the pressure chamber 411 and the plunger chamber 311 to seal the connection. The water seal 440 can prevent water vapor in the pressure chamber 411 from flowing into the plunger chamber 311.
[0050] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a support frame 320 is provided in the plunger chamber 311. The support frame 320 is sleeved on the plunger 200 and abuts against the side of the water seal 440 near the plunger chamber 311. The movable part 500 is located between the support frame 320 and the plunger 200.
[0051] Specifically, a support frame 320 is fixedly installed inside the plunger chamber 311. The front end of the support frame 320 extends forward into the plunger chamber 311 and abuts against the rear side of the water seal 440. In this way, the support frame 320 and the bottom wall of the annular receiving groove can limit the water seal 440 in the axial direction of the plunger 200, thereby helping to ensure the sealing effect of the water seal 440.
[0052] The movable component 500 is located inside the support frame 320, and the support frame 320 is provided with a clearance structure corresponding to the through hole 312 on the inner surface of the plunger chamber 311, thereby preventing the support frame 320 from blocking the through hole 312. This helps to ensure that the water vapor in the plunger chamber 311 can flow smoothly out of the through hole 312. In this embodiment, the clearance structure on the support frame 320 is configured as multiple flow holes penetrating the support frame 320. The water vapor in the plunger chamber 311 can move through the flow holes to the area between the support frame 320 and the housing 310, and then the water vapor can be discharged again through the through hole 312.
[0053] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, an annular limiting surface 313 is provided on the inner surface of the plunger chamber 311. The annular limiting surface 313 abuts against the side of the support frame 320 away from the water seal 440. An annular mounting groove 314 is provided on the annular limiting surface 313. An annular sealing element 330 is provided in the annular mounting groove 314. The annular sealing element 330 abuts against the side of the support frame 320 away from the water seal 440. The annular sealing element 330 is located on the side of the movable part 500 away from the water seal 440.
[0054] Specifically, an annular limiting surface 313 facing forward is provided on the inner surface of the plunger chamber 311. The annular limiting surface 313 is located behind the movable part 500 and the support frame 320. The annular limiting surface 313 abuts against the rear end of the support frame 320. In this way, the support frame 320 can be installed and positioned in the axial direction of the plunger 200 through the annular limiting surface 313.
[0055] An annular mounting groove 314 with the opening facing forward is provided on the annular limiting surface 313. The annular seal 330 is fixedly installed in the annular mounting groove 314 and is sleeved on the rear end of the plunger 200. The plunger 200 can move back and forth relative to the annular seal 330. Thus, the annular seal 330 is provided on the rear side of the plunger chamber 311. The annular seal 330 can prevent water vapor in the plunger chamber 311 from continuing to flow backward and prevent water vapor from flowing into the space located on the rear side of the plunger chamber 311 in the housing 310.
[0056] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the annular seal 330 abuts against the rear side of the support frame 320, so that the support frame 320 can abut and limit the annular seal 330, thereby preventing the annular seal 330 from disengaging from the annular mounting groove 314.
[0057] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the pump body 400 includes a pump housing 410 having a pressure chamber 411. One end of the pump housing 410 near the pressure chamber 411 is inserted into the plunger chamber 311 and abuts against the side of the support frame 320 near the water seal 440.
[0058] Specifically, the pump housing 410, with one end of the pressure chamber 411, is inserted rearward into the plunger chamber 311, and the end of the pump housing 410 inserted into the plunger chamber 311 abuts against the front end of the support frame 320. In this way, the annular limiting surface 313 and the pump housing 410 can limit the support frame 320 in the axial direction of the plunger 200, which helps to ensure the supporting function of the support frame 320.
[0059] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
