Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plunger pump technology, and in particular to a five-plunger pump and a high-pressure cleaner. Background Technology
[0002] Plunger pumps are the most commonly used pumps in high-pressure washers. Driven by a power unit, the plunger pump pressurizes water from its normal pressure and outputs it to efficiently clean floors, vehicles, and other items. Due to limitations in product size, weight, structure, and cost, current high-pressure washers generally use three-plunger pumps. These pumps result in significant flow pulsation and less stable cleaning. For plunger pumps, the number of plungers, the arrangement of internal flow channels, and the structural design of the flow channels all have a crucial impact on the magnitude of flow pulsation, pressure stability, and manufacturing cost of the high-pressure washer.
[0003] CN217270782U discloses a plunger pump for a high-pressure washer, including a cylinder and a housing. The front end of the cylinder has an inlet and an outlet, with the outlet located above the inlet. The rear end of the cylinder is connected to the housing and has plunger chambers arranged laterally. The lower end of the plunger chambers has a transverse inlet channel that communicates with the inlet. The upper end of the plunger chambers has a transverse outlet channel that communicates with the outlet. A check valve is installed in the outlet. A pressure regulating chamber is located on the cylinder above the outlet and communicates with the outlet. A pressure regulating valve is installed in the pressure regulating chamber. An overflow channel communicating with the inlet is located on the lower side of the pressure regulating chamber. A push rod chamber is located at the rear end of the cylinder and is located behind the outlet. The opening of the push rod chamber faces outward from the circumference of the cylinder. While this technical solution simplifies the setup of the return flow channel and connecting flow channel, and improves the operating space and convenience of installation, it occupies a large space and has limited cleaning capacity. Therefore, a five-plunger pump and a high-pressure cleaner are provided to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention discloses a five-plunger pump 10, which is mainly used in high-pressure cleaners. It includes a cylinder assembly 11, a plunger assembly 12, a pump body assembly 13, and a pump cover assembly 14. The cylinder assembly 11 is the transmission body, which is meshed and connected to the drive assembly. The plunger assembly 12 is installed on the cylinder assembly 11 and extends into the pump body assembly 13. The cylinder assembly 11 drives the plunger assembly 12 to reciprocate in the pump body assembly 13, thereby pressurizing and conveying the liquid entering the pump body assembly 13. The pump cover assembly 14 is sealed and connected to the pump body assembly 13, and water inlet and pressurized water outlet operations are performed through the pump cover assembly 14.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cylinder assembly 11 includes a cylinder body 111, a drive shaft 112, a drive gear 113, and a swashplate pushing mechanism 114. The cylinder body 111 is a hollow cavity containing lubricating oil. The drive shaft 112 is movably and sealed within the cylinder body 11. The drive gear 113 is located on the outside of the cylinder body 111 and fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 112. It meshes with and is connected to the drive assembly, which drives the drive shaft 112 to rotate within the cylinder body 111 via the drive gear 113. The swashplate pushing mechanism 114 is movably mounted within the cylinder body 111 and fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 112. It rotates along with the drive shaft 112. The swashplate pushing mechanism 114 is in contact with and connected to the plunger assembly 12, thereby driving the plunger assembly 12 to reciprocate within the pump body assembly 13.

The plunger mechanism 122 moves sequentially through the second oil seal (not shown), the pump body base 121 and the water seal (not shown), and prevents the lubricating oil in the cylinder body 111 from passing through the plunger through the second oil seal (not shown). The plug cavity 1211 seeps into the pump body assembly 13, and the water seal (not shown) prevents the liquid in the pump body assembly 13 from seeping into the cylinder body 111; multiple first fastening screws 123 pass through the corresponding through holes 1212 and are fastened to the cylinder body 111 with threaded connections; multiple fixing holes 1213 are also provided on the pump body base body 121, and the pump body assembly 13 and the pump cover assembly 14 are installed on one side of the pump body base body 121 in sequence through the multiple fixing holes 1213.
