Definitions
- the invention relates to a nozzle arrangement for liquid having a nozzle inlet part, which has a pressurized fluid inlet channel, and a nozzle outlet part, which is continuously displaceable relative to the nozzle inlet part between a first position and a second position, and the one as In the first position, only the high pressure nozzle is in fluid communication with the inlet channel and wherein in the second position, the high pressure nozzle and the at least one low pressure nozzle are in flow communication with the inlet channel.
- a pressurized liquid for example water
- the pressurized fluid may be supplied to the nozzle assembly via, for example, a jet pipe from a high pressure cleaner or similar device.
- the pressurized liquid is discharged from the nozzle assembly in the form of a flat jet. With the aid of the flat jet, liquid can be applied to a large area within a short time, for example to clean the area, but the pressure of the liquid on sensitive areas must be reduced in order to avoid damage.
- EP 0 501 164 A1 discloses a nozzle arrangement with a nozzle inlet part and a nozzle outlet part displaceable relative to the nozzle inlet part.
- the nozzle outlet part has, in addition to a high-pressure nozzle, two outlet bores arranged symmetrically with respect to the high-pressure nozzle.
- the nozzle outlet part can assume a first position relative to the nozzle inlet part, in which the liquid supplied to the nozzle inlet part via a jet pipe is discharged only via the high-pressure nozzle, so that the discharged liquid has a high pressure.
- the liquid part can be dispensed with a second position in which the liquid can be dispensed not only via the high-pressure nozzle but also via the outlet bores, so that the liquid dispensed overall has a comparatively low pressure.
- a continuous change in the pressure of the discharged liquid is not possible in this nozzle arrangement, since the nozzle outlet part can optionally take only the first position or the second position.
- the liquid is discharged from the high-pressure nozzle and from the outlet holes in the form of a spot jet.
- the nozzle outlet part has a high-pressure nozzle configured as a flat-jet nozzle and a low-pressure nozzle arranged coaxially with the high-pressure nozzle, which is likewise designed as a flat-jet nozzle.
- the nozzle inlet part comprises an inlet channel, to which pressurized liquid can be supplied via a jet pipe.
- a first position of the nozzle outlet part only the high-pressure nozzle is in fluid communication with the inlet channel, so that liquid can be discharged from the high-pressure nozzle under high pressure.
- the flow connection between the inlet channel and the low-pressure nozzle is interrupted.
- the nozzle outlet part By moving the nozzle outlet part from the first position to the second position, a flow path from the inlet channel to the low-pressure nozzle is released, wherein the flow cross-section of the flow path continuously widens when the nozzle outlet part is moved to the second position.
- the liquid supplied to the nozzle inlet part can thus be discharged via the high-pressure nozzle and also via the low-pressure nozzle.
- This makes it possible to continuously change the pressure of the discharged liquid at a constant flow rate.
- the known nozzle arrangement has a non-linear control characteristic, that is, the pressure of the discharged liquid varies unevenly in the uniform displacement of the nozzle outlet part. This complicates the reproducible setting of a desired pressure.
- changes in the known nozzle arrangement when moving the Düsenauslassteils the jet pattern of the liquid delivered that is, it changes the geometry of the flat jet.
- Object of the present invention is to develop a nozzle assembly of the type mentioned in such a way that the pressure of the discharged liquid can be changed uniformly with constant flow and minimal changes in the spray pattern.
- the at least one low pressure nozzle is radially offset from the high pressure nozzle and the Düsenauslassteil a kaupel over which the high pressure nozzle is independent of the position of the Düsenauslassteils with the inlet channel in flow communication and in the first position of the nozzle outlet part interrupts a flow connection of the inlet channel with the at least one low-pressure nozzle and the transition of the nozzle outlet part from the first position to the second position releases an increasing annular gap of adjustable width, via which the inlet channel is in flow communication with the at least one low-pressure nozzle.
- the at least one low-pressure nozzle is arranged radially offset from the high-pressure nozzle. Due to the greater flow rate of the liquid jet discharged from the high-pressure nozzle, the liquid jet discharged from the at least one low-pressure nozzle is deflected in the direction of the liquid jet of the high-pressure nozzle. As a result, the flat jet emitted by the low-pressure nozzle is combined with the flat jet emitted by the high-pressure nozzle at a short distance from the high-pressure nozzle, so that a common flat jet is formed.
- the geometry of the common flat jet and thus the spray pattern of the liquid discharged from the nozzle arrangement undergoes at most a very small change in the transition of the nozzle outlet part from the first position to the second position.
- the nozzle outlet part has a connection nipple, which is arranged upstream of the high-pressure nozzle and is permanently in fluid communication with the high-pressure nozzle, irrespective of the position of the nozzle outlet part.
- the connection nipple In the first position of the nozzle outlet part, the connection nipple interrupts the flow connection from the connection channel to the at least one low-pressure nozzle.
- the connection nipple is in liquid-tight contact with an outlet section of the inlet channel.
- liquid supplied to the inlet channel can reach the high-pressure nozzle via the connecting nipple, but not to the at least one low-pressure nozzle.
- the connecting nipple releases an annular gap.
- the annular gap allows a flow path from the inlet channel to the at least one low-pressure nozzle, so that liquid can reach not only the high-pressure nozzle but also the at least one low-pressure nozzle.
- the width of the annular gap increases during the transition of the nozzle outlet part from the first position to the second position. As a result, the flow rate of the liquid flowing to the at least one low-pressure nozzle is increased. It has been shown that by such an embodiment, the pressure of the discharged liquid at a constant flow rate over a large control range can be changed uniformly.
- the width of the annular gap at the transition of the nozzle outlet part from the first position to the second position continuously, in particular continuously, so that the flow rate of the liquid flowing to the at least one low-pressure nozzle, continuously, in particular continuously increases.
- the nozzle outlet part can only be moved when it is not acted upon by pressurized liquid, ie. when the nozzle assembly is not flowed through by pressurized liquid.
- the nozzle outlet part is preferably also slidable when subjected to pressurized liquid, i. e. during operation of the nozzle assembly.
- the nozzle arrangement according to the invention makes it possible, for example, to change the pressure of the discharged liquid at a constant flow rate in a control range between approximately 200 bar and approximately 10 to 20 bar virtually linearly.
- the constant flow rate may for example be 11 to 12 l / min and the discharged liquid forms practically a constant fan-shaped flat jet.
- the nozzle arrangement according to the invention enables the user to reproducibly adjust the pressure of the discharged liquid at a constant delivery rate and virtually constant jet pattern. This facilitates handling of the nozzle assembly.
- the liquid outlet direction of the at least one low-pressure nozzle is inclined toward the liquid outlet direction of the high-pressure nozzle.
- the liquid discharged from the at least one low pressure nozzle is thus directed to the liquid discharged from the high pressure nozzle. This provides a spray pattern that undergoes virtually no change in the transition of the nozzle discharge part from the first position to the second position.
- the liquid flowing through the annular gap of the at least one low-pressure nozzle without reversal of the flow direction can be fed.
- the liquid is passed on its way from the inlet channel to the at least one low-pressure nozzle on the outside of the connecting nipple along, without it undergoes a reversal of direction.
- the risk that the liquid in the area between the inlet channel and the at least one low-pressure nozzle vortex and / or so-called "dead spots" that could affect the control characteristics of the nozzle assembly is kept particularly low.
- the connecting nipple is conveniently aligned with the high pressure nozzle, because this flow losses can be kept low.
- the nozzle outlet part has a nozzle body which forms the high-pressure nozzle and the at least one low-pressure nozzle.
- the high-pressure nozzle and the at least one low-pressure nozzle are thus formed by a one-piece component. This facilitates the assembly of the nozzle assembly and reduces their manufacturing costs.
- the connecting nipple protrudes from a rear side of the nozzle body facing the inlet channel. If the nozzle outlet part is displaced from the first position in the direction of the second position, the connecting nipple releases an annular gap, which in such a configuration is limited on the one hand by an end region of the connecting nipple and on the other hand by an end region of the inlet channel and whose width when moving the Nozzle outlet part continuously increases from the first position to the second position.
- connection nipple is pressed or glued in an advantageous embodiment of the invention in the nozzle body. This results in a further simplification of the assembly of the nozzle assembly and reduces their production costs.
- An outlet section of the inlet channel in a preferred embodiment of the invention, has a sealing surface, widening conically in the direction of flow of the liquid, against which the connecting nipple rests in a liquid-tight manner in the first position of the nozzle outlet section.

- the jet pipe is conveniently soldered into the inlet section of the inlet duct.
- the connecting nipple has an annular bead which rests in a liquid-tight manner on the sealing surface of the inlet channel in the first position of the nozzle outlet part.
- the annular bead allows in a structurally simple manner a liquid-tight seal between the inlet channel and the connecting nipple without an additional sealing element, such as a sealing ring made of an elastomeric material must be used.
- the surface of the annular bead is preferably curved in a circular arc.
- an extension section of the connecting nipple connects in the flow direction of the liquid to the annular bead, in which the outer diameter of the connecting nipple continuously widens in the flow direction of the liquid.
- the extension portion is conical.

- the outer diameter of the inlet section can hereby be chosen to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inlet section of the inlet channel. It is advantageous if the outer diameter of the input section continuously tapers in the direction away from the annular bead, that is to say in the direction of the free end of the input section.
- the input portion forms on its outer side a plurality of successive conical surfaces whose inclination to the central axis of the input channel increases with increasing distance to the annular bead.
- a first, adjacent directly to the annular bead cone surface is inclined only at a small angle to the central axis, in particular at an angle of at most 5 °, and with increasing distance from the annular bead, the successive conical surfaces on a growing inclination angle.
- the maximum inclination angle is preferably 45 ° to 65 °.
- the input section can have, for example, 4 to 8 conical surfaces with different inclinations to the central axis.
- the nozzle outlet part has a first and at least one second passage, which are arranged parallel to each other, wherein at the downstream end of the first passage, the high-pressure nozzle is arranged and wherein at the downstream end of the at least one second passageway a low-pressure nozzle is arranged.
- the liquid is thus supplied to the high pressure nozzle and the at least one low pressure nozzle via parallel aligned passageways.
- the parallel alignment of the through channels makes it possible to produce the nozzle outlet part inexpensively.
- connection nipple dips in an advantageous embodiment in the first passageway.
- connection nipple is pressed or glued into the first passage.
- first through-channel is stepped and has a cylindrical first channel section into which the connecting nipple dips and adjoins an inwardly directed step a second cylindrical channel section whose inner diameter is preferably identical to the inner diameter of the Connecting nipple has in its downstream End Suitet.
- a conical channel section of the first through-channel adjoins the second cylindrical channel section. In the conical channel section, the inner diameter of the first passage channel decreases continuously in the flow direction of the liquid.
- the high-pressure nozzle may be arranged on or in the conical channel section.
- the high-pressure nozzle is expediently configured as an end region of the first through-channel which continuously tapers in the direction of flow of the liquid, wherein the end region has two diametrically opposite pocket-shaped extensions to which a circular outlet opening adjoins in the flow direction of the liquid.
- the end region of the first through-channel can be configured, for example, conical.
- the liquid undergoes a deflection so that it subsequently forms a flat jet.
- the pocket-shaped extensions can form part spherical deflecting surfaces for this purpose.
- Flat jet nozzles with pocket-shaped extensions are known to the person skilled in the art, for example, from WO 94/17921 A1.
- the at least one low-pressure nozzle is designed as a continuously tapering end region of a second through-channel, followed by a slot-shaped outlet opening in the flow direction of the liquid, wherein the slot-shaped outlet opening is arranged offset in the direction of the high-pressure nozzle to the longitudinal axis of the second through-channel ,
- the end region of the second through-channel can, for example, be conical or in the form of a partial sphere.
- the slot-shaped outlet opening cuts the itself continuously tapering end portion of the second passageway off-center. When flowing through the slot-shaped outlet opening, the liquid forms a flat jet.
- the flat jet is inclined in the direction of the high-pressure nozzle. This has the consequence that the flat jet emitted by the at least one low-pressure nozzle merges with the flat jet emitted by the high-pressure nozzle to form a common flat jet whose geometry practically does not change when the nozzle outlet part is displaced from the first position to the second position.
- the nozzle outlet part has at least two low-pressure nozzles which are arranged symmetrically with respect to the high-pressure nozzle and which are each designed as flat-jet nozzles.
- the high pressure nozzle is thus positioned between at least two low pressure nozzles arranged symmetrically to the high pressure nozzle.
- the liquid In the first position of the nozzle outlet part, the liquid is discharged via the high-pressure nozzle in the form of a flat jet. If the nozzle outlet part is displaced from the first position to the second position, then an increasing proportion of the supplied liquid is discharged via the low-pressure nozzles, wherein the flat jets of the low-pressure nozzles combine with the flat jet of the high-pressure nozzle to form a common flat jet.

- the rotary part surrounds the nozzle inlet part in the circumferential direction and can be rotated relative to the nozzle inlet part about its longitudinal axis. Since the rotary member is threadedly connected to the nozzle inlet member, rotational movement of the rotary member also results in axial displacement of the rotary member relative to the nozzle inlet member. This displacement movement is transmitted from the rotary member via the driver on the nozzle outlet part, which is held non-rotatably in the recess of the nozzle inlet part.
- the Düsenauslassteil preferably has a radially outwardly projecting flange, with which the driver of the rotary member is engaged.

- the inlet channel 28 is in flow communication with an annular space 132 which surrounds the area of the connecting nipple 78 protruding from the nozzle body 46 in the circumferential direction and to which the second through-holes 50, 52 adjoin in the flow direction of the liquid.
- the annular space 132 is bounded in the axial direction by the bottom wall 20 of the recess 18 and the back 80 of the nozzle body 46 and in the radial direction of the annular space 132 is limited by the connecting nipple 78 and the side wall 22 of the recess 18.
- the rotary member 116 is surrounded by a housing 134 of the nozzle assembly 10.
- the housing 134 is formed by a first housing half shell 136 and a second housing half shell 138, which are rotatably connected to the rotary member 116.
- the two housing half shells 136, 138 screwed by connecting screws 140 with the rotary member 116.
- the housing halves 136, 138 can be rotated by the user relative to the jet pipe 44 about the longitudinal axis 14 of the nozzle assembly 10.
- liquid is discharged not only via the high-pressure nozzle 74 but also via the low-pressure nozzles 104, 106, wherein the lateral flat jets 108, 110 at a small distance to the high-pressure nozzle 74 unite with the central flat jet 76.
- the nozzle assembly 10 gives the user the ability to reproducibly adjust the pressure of the discharged liquid at a constant flow rate.
- the user must position the two housing halves 136, 138 only in a desired rotational position, which corresponds to a specific position of the nozzle outlet part 16 relative to the nozzle inlet part 12 and thus a certain width of the annular gap 130.
- the user has the option to choose a pressure in the range of 200 bar to about 10 bar for the liquid delivered.
- a change in the pressure of the discharged liquid at a constant flow rate of the liquid no significant change in the jet pattern of the liquid result.
- the positioning of the nozzle outlet portion 16 may be changed by the user during operation of the nozzle assembly 10, i. the nozzle outlet part 16 can be displaced while being pressurized with liquid under pressure.
