Hochdruckreinigungsvorrichtungen, auch kurz Hochdruckreiniger genannt, werden üblicherweise für Reinigungszwecke eingesetzt. Über eine Düse wird üblicherweise Wasser oder eine sonstige Reinigungsflüssigkeit unter hohem Druck und ggf. mit hoher Temperatur ausgegeben. Weiter kann eine Schaumeinrichtung zum Aufschäumen von Wasser und einer zugemischten Chemikalie, insbesondere zur Erzeugung und Ausgabe eines Reinigungsschaums, angeschlossen werden. Die Zumischung der Chemikalie ist dann vorzugsweise über eine Ventileinrichtung, wie ein Nadelventil, steuerbar.High-pressure cleaning devices, also known as high-pressure cleaners, are commonly used for cleaning purposes. Usually, water or another cleaning fluid is discharged via a nozzle under high pressure and possibly at high temperature. Furthermore, a foaming device can be connected for foaming up water and an admixed chemical, in particular for the production and dispensing of a cleaning foam. The addition of the chemical is then preferably via a valve device, such as a needle valve, controllable.

Wichtig ist, daß dem Wasser eine definierte Chemikalienmenge und Luftmenge zugeführt wird. Die Zumischung der Chemikalienzugabe ist beispielsweise mit einem Nadelventil nicht definiert einstellbar.It is important that the water a defined amount of chemicals and air flow is supplied. The admixture of the chemical addition is not defined defined with a needle valve, for example.

Die WO 02/362673 A1 betrifft einen Fluidmischer, der ein mischbares erstes Fluid in relativ verdünnten Konzentrationen mit einem zweiten Fluid mischt, wobei das zweite Fluid unter Druck steht. Das erste Fluid kann eine Reinigungsflüssigkeit sein. Das Fluid unter Druck erzeugt durch eine Venturidüse einen Saugdruck, um Reinigungsflüssigkeit dem druckbeaufschlagten Fluids zuzudosieren. Ein Griff bzw. drehbares Auslaßrohr ist zur Steuerung der Ventileinrichtung vorgesehen.The WO 02/362673 A1 relates to a fluid mixer which mixes a miscible first fluid at relatively dilute concentrations with a second fluid, the second fluid being under pressure. The first fluid may be a cleaning fluid. The fluid under pressure creates a suction pressure through a venturi to meter cleaning fluid into the pressurized fluid. A handle or rotatable outlet tube is provided for controlling the valve means.

In der US 2002/008161 A1 wird ein Spritzkopf offenbart, der zur Befestigung an einem Behälter vorgesehen ist, wobei der Behälter eine Chemikalie enthält, die durch einen Trägerstrom verdünnt wird. Der Kopf weist einen Anschluß für den Trägerstrom auf. Über einen Drehknopf ist eine Ventileinrichtung bewegbar, um die Zudosierung der Chemikalie zum Trägerstrom zu steuern. Die US 2006/013062 A1 betrifft eine Schaumvorrichtung, die bei der Herstellung von Leichtbeton einsetzbar ist. Wasser und ein Schäummittel werden zu Schaum erzeugt durch einen Körper, der mit Kugeln gefüllt ist, geleitet.In the US 2002/008161 A1 there is disclosed a spray head intended for attachment to a container, the container containing a chemical which is diluted by a carrier stream.

The US 2006/013062 A1 relates to a foam device which can be used in the production of lightweight concrete. Water and a foaming agent are made into foam by a body filled with balls.

In der GB-A-1 576 155 A wird eine Vorrichtung bzw. ein Behälter zum Aufschäumen von Flüssigkeiten und zur Ausgabe des Schaums offenbart. Der Behälter weist einen porösen Körper auf, durch den die Flüssigkeit unter Zusammendrücken des Behälters gepreßt wird. Die Flüssigkeit wird mit der im Behälter befindlichen Luft in einer Mischkammer gemischt, wobei Schaum entsteht, der durch einen weiteren porösen Körper geleitet wird.In the GB-A-1 576 155 A discloses a device or container for foaming liquids and for dispensing the foam. The container has a porous body through which the liquid is pressed while squeezing the container.

Chemikalienzumischung auf. Dies gestattet eine einfache, intuitive Bedienung.The valve device 7 has a rotary handle 8 surrounding the foam output and / or the foam device 1 and / or arranged coaxially therewith for controlling the valve device 7 or chemical admixing. This allows a simple, intuitive operation.

Die Ventileinrichtung 7 weist vorzugsweise ein insbesondere bolzenförmiges Stellelement 9 auf, das vorzugsweise mit im Querschnitt unterschiedlichen Durchgangsöffnungen, insbesondere Bohrungen 10, zur stufigen Einstellung der Chemikalienzumischung versehen ist.The valve device 7 preferably has a particular bolt-shaped adjusting element 9, which is preferably provided with different cross-sectional passage openings, in particular holes 10, for the gradual adjustment of the chemical admixing.

Das Stellelement 9 ist mittels des Drehgriffs 8 verstellbar bzw. verschiebbar, besonders bevorzugt in axialer Richtung bzw. parallel zur Ausgaberichtung A der Schaumeinrichtung 1. Je nach Stellung des Stellelements 9 stellt eine der Bohrungen 10 eine fluidische Verbindung zwischen dem Behälter 5 und einem Ansaugkanal 11 eines Injektors bzw. Schaumerzeugers 12 der Schaumeinrichtung 1 her. Vorzugsweise ist das Stellelement 9 derartig verstellbar, daß die Chemikalienzumischung bzw. -zufuhr auch blockierbar ist. Diese Stellung ist in Fig. 2 gezeigt.The adjusting element 9 is adjustable or displaceable by means of the rotary handle 8, particularly preferably in the axial direction or parallel to the dispensing direction A of the foam device 1. Depending on the position of the actuating element 9, one of the bores 10 forms a fluidic connection between the container 5 and an intake channel 11 an injector or foam generator 12 of the foam device 1 ago.

Das Wasser wird zunächst über eine Venturidüse 18 o. dgl. in der Schaumeinrichtung 1 bzw. im Schaumerzeuger 12 in einer ersten Stufe zumindest zum Teil entspannt, so daß über den sich seitlich anschließenden Kanal 11 die Chemikalie in gewünschter Weise - je nach Stellung der Ventileinrichtung bzw. Stellelements 9 - angesaugt und mit dem Wasser vermischt werden kann. Anschließend wird das Gemisch aus Wasser und Chemikalie weiter entspannt, insbesondere Luft über Zugluftöffnungen 19 zugeführt und durch eine sich anschließende Düsenanordnung 20 geleitet, in der das Aufschäumen in gewünschter Weise erfolgt. Vorzugsweise schließt sich ein Expansions- bzw. Aufschäumraum 21 an.About the connecting device 6 is supplied under high pressure water or other liquid. The water is first at least partially expanded in the foam device 1 or in the foam generator 12 in a first stage via a Venturi nozzle 18 or the like, so that the laterally adjacent channel 11, the chemical in the desired manner - depending on the position of the valve device or actuator 9 - can be sucked and mixed with the water. Subsequently, the mixture of water and chemical is further expanded, in particular air is supplied via draft openings 19 and passed through a subsequent nozzle arrangement 20, in which the foaming takes place in the desired manner. Preferably, an expansion or Aufschäumraum 21 connects.

Schließlich wird das aufgeschäumte Gemisch bzw. der erzeugte Schaum über eine optionale Ausgabedüse 22 ausgegeben, die vorzugsweise einen flachen und/oder kegelförmigen Strahl durch entsprechende Gestaltung, insbesondere einer Austrittsöffnung 23, erzeugt. Die Ausgabedüse 22 ist vorzugsweise drehbar, um die Strahlebene zu drehen. Bedarfsweise ist das Drehen der Ausgabedüse 23 beispielsweise auf 90° begrenzt.Finally, the foamed mixture or the foam produced is dispensed via an optional dispensing nozzle 22, which preferably generates a flat and / or conical jet by appropriate design, in particular an outlet opening 23.

Das Schaumsieb 24 kann beispielsweise durch eine Lochplatte, ein Sieb, gepreßte Stahlwolle, ein zusammengerolltes Kunststoffsieb o. dgl. gebildet sein. Entsprechend handelt es sich dann um eine scheibenförmige oder beispielsweise zylindrische Anordnung.The foam screen 24 may be formed, for example, by a perforated plate, a sieve, pressed steel wool, a coiled plastic sieve or the like. Accordingly, it is then a disc-shaped or, for example, cylindrical arrangement.

Besonders bevorzugt ist das Schaumsieb 24 aus einem offenporigen Schaummaterial, insbesondere einem Metallschaum, hergestellt oder besteht ausschließlich daraus. Insbesondere ist der Metallschaum aus Edelstahl hergestellt. Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 10 bis 20 mm und einer Länge von etwa 8 bis 20 mm wurden hervorragende Ergebnisse erzielt. Das Schaumverhältnis des Metallschaums oder sonstigen Schaummaterials beträgt vorzugsweise 1 zu 5 bis 1 zu 10, insbesondere etwa 1 zu 8, Masse oder Volumen von Metall zu Luft.Particularly preferably, the foam screen 24 is made of an open-pore foam material, in particular a metal foam, or consists exclusively thereof.
