Definitions

  • the present invention relates to high-pressure water cleaner machines, comprising at least two electric pumps activated by two electric motors, which is placed in communication with a water supply source and supplies a hand-manoeuvred high-pressure dispensing lance.
  • Chinese utility model CN 204672602 and US3481544 disclose high-pressure water cleaner machines having a plurality of operating modes.
  • the machines comprise a main pump activated by a main electric motor, and an auxiliary pump activated by an auxiliary electric motor, placed in parallel with the main pump.
  • the main pump and the auxiliary pump are supplied by a single water source via a three-way connector.
  • the outlet conduits of the main and auxiliary pumps both flow, by means of a three-way connector, into a supply conduit of a high-pressure lance.
  • the main pump has a maximum pressure value which is greater than the maximum pressure value of the auxiliary pump.
  • Each of the two pumps is activated by an independent electric motor; the two electric motors have a different power, proportional to the maximum dispensing pressure of the relative pump.
  • the command circuit of the water cleaner machine comprises a single main switch that is hand-operated, and a selector-switch, also hand-operated, which enables both the activating motors of the main and auxiliary pumps to operate, or only one of them to operate.
  • a pressure switch is located on the supply circuit of each of the motors, which pressure switch is normally closed when the delivery pressure of the respective pump is lower than a predetermined calibration value, and opens automatically when the pressure exceeds the calibration value.
  • the opening of the pressure switch causes the halting of the respective pump.
  • the opening of the pressure switch takes place when the dispensing lance is closed, with a consequent increase in pressure upstream thereof.
  • the water cleaner machine is excessively complicated, comprises a large number of components and does not enable automatically adapting the functioning to the operator's needs.
  • the aim of the present invention is to obviate the drawbacks of the prior art with a solution that is simple, reliable and economical.
  • the aim is attained by a water cleaner machine having the characteristics set down in the main claim; the secondary claims relate to constructional variants aimed at improving the results of the invention.
  • the water cleaner machine of the invention comprises two electric pumps in parallel, supplied by a single water source, and connected to a single dispensing lance of water at a high pressure, via appropriate three-way connectors
  • Each pump is activated by a respective electric motor.
  • the command circuit of the two electric motors which activate the pumps comprises a three-way switch, activated by the operator. In a first position of the switch the electric power source to both the motors is OFF; in a second position of the switch, only one electric pump is electrically supplied; in the third position of the switch both the electric pumps are electrically supplied.
  • the invention includes a single pressure switch, located on the delivery conduit of one of the two electric pumps, and which in turn is connected to the dispensing lance.
  • the pressure switch is normally-closed, in the ON position, and opens into the OFF position when the pressure exceeds a predetermined value.
  • the figures show the supply line 1 of the electric current, which comprises two cables of which one, L, is the live line and the other N, is the neutral phase.
  • the cables L and N lead from a switch 2 activated manually by means of a button S, from which the electric supply cables for two electric motors M1 and M2 lead to the high-pressure pumps P1 and P2.
  • the button S places the switch 2 in three different positions.
  • the button S connects the line cable L with a cable 12 terminating at the motor M2 and with a cable 10 terminating at the motor M1.
  • the switch 2 connects the line cable L with the cable 10 terminating only at the motor M1.
  • the switch 2 In a third position, illustrated in figure 1 , the switch 2 interrupts the connection of the cable L with both motors.
  • the switch 2 connects the cable of the neutral phase N with a cable 4 terminating at a pressure sensor 5.
  • the pressure sensor 5 is positioned on the delivery line 6 of the pump P1, the supply conduit of which is denoted by reference numeral 66.
  • the supply conduit 77 of the pump P2 is placed in parallel with the conduit 66, and both source from a single supply conduit 67 via a three-way connector, not illustrated in detail.
  • the supply conduit 6 of the pump P1 and the delivery conduit 7 of the pump P2 both flow into a single supply conduit 76 via a three-way connector, not illustrated in detail.
  • a one-way valve 8 is positioned on the delivery conduit 7, which prevents back-flow of the water towards the pump P2.
  • the conduit 76 terminates at a dispensing lance, not illustrated, which is activated by the operator by means of a trigger.
  • the pressure switch 5 places the neutral phase cable N in communication with both the motors M1 and M2, when the water pressure delivered by the pump P1 is lower than a determined value.
  • the invention functions as follows.
  • both the motors M1 and M2 are inactive, and the pumps P1 and P2 are both inactive.
  • the pressure-sensitive switch 5 is in the closed position, since the dispensing pressure of the pump P1 is zero.
  • the pressure-sensitive switch 5 opens, as the pressure exceeds the calibration value, and the motor M1, or both motors M1 and M2 halt.
  • the pressure-sensitive switch 5 closes and the motor M1 or both the motors M1 and M2, according to the position of the switch 2, start up.
  • the only activities requested of the operator are the activating of the switch 2, and the trigger which opens the dispensing of the lance.
