AI Technical Summary
Existing rotary tank cleaning heads face challenges in versatility and operational reliability, particularly when used for gas, air, or steam supply/release, leading to increased wear and maintenance due to impeller rotation without liquid lubrication.
A liquid ejection apparatus with a drive clutch and locking clutch arrangement that automatically adjusts based on fluid flow, ensuring rotation only occurs with liquid and preventing rotation during gas or steam supply/release, using a force generating device to maintain clutch states.
Provides a cost-effective, reliable, and maintenance-friendly solution for multi-functional tank cleaning and gas/steam handling, minimizing wear and breakdowns by ensuring rotation only with liquid flow, thus enhancing operational efficiency.
