- This discharge unit 26 also comprises a connecting member 62, as has already been explained above, and can be connected to the spray gun 14 and consequently brought into fluid communication with the pump outlet 38.
- the discharge unit 26 is configured in the form of a surface cleaner 86, which has a hood 88.
- a nozzle assembly 90 having a first outlet nozzle 92 and a second outlet nozzle 94 is rotatably supported about a common axis of rotation 96. Under the action of the cleaning liquid, the nozzle assembly 90 is rotated about the axis of rotation 96 and the supplied cleaning liquid can be applied via the outlet nozzles 92 and 94 to a surface to be cleaned, preferably a bottom surface.
- the user can optionally one of the discharge units 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 to the spray gun 14th connect and apply cleaning liquid to the surface to be cleaned, wherein the cleaning liquid optionally cleaning chemical from the container 42 or a foam-forming chemical from the discharge container 84 can be mixed.
- each discharge unit 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 has an identification element 100 which characterizes the type of the respective discharge unit 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and is designed as a transponder 102 in the illustrated embodiment.
- the transponder 102 is integrated in the illustrated embodiment in the connecting member 62, in the connecting pin 64 which can be inserted into the connection receptacle 72 of the spray gun 14.
- the spray gun 14 has an identification element 100 associated with the detection unit 104, with the aid of which the type of each connected discharge unit 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 can be detected.
- the detection unit 104 is designed as a reading device 106, with which a storage element 103 of the transponder 102, which is shown schematically in FIG. 4, can be read out without contact.
- the reader 102 is arranged in the illustrated embodiment in a wall of the connection receptacle 72, so that the transponder 102 of each to the spray gun 14 connected to the discharge unit 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 can be positioned in the smallest possible distance from the reader 106.
- the reader 106 is connected via an electrical connection line 108 with an electrical device 110 of the spray gun 14 in electrical connection. Via the electrical connection line 108, a signal characterizing the respective detected type of the discharge units 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 can be transmitted to the electrical device 110.
- the electrical device 110 has a power supply unit in the form of a battery 112 and a combined input-output device in the form of a touchscreen 114, with the help of which at least one delivery parameter of the high-pressure cleaner 12 can be displayed to the user and the user can manually change at least one delivery parameter of the high-pressure cleaner 12 ,
- the electrical device 110 has a first radio link 116 and the control device 46 has a second radio link 118, so that signals can be transmitted wirelessly between the electric device 110 and the control device 46 via the radio links 116, 118.
- This makes it possible to transmit a control signal characterizing the type of the discharge unit 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 currently connected to the spray gun 14 from the electric device 110 to the control device 46, and the control device 46 can send a delivery parameter to the control device 46 Electric device 110 are transmitted, which can then be displayed on the touch screen 114.
- the changed delivery parameter can also be transmitted from the electrical device 110 to the control device 46.
- the control device 46 automatically adapts at least one delivery parameter of the high-pressure cleaning device 12 to the respective discharge unit 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 used.
- conveying parameters in particular, the pressure prevailing at the pump outlet 38 of the cleaning liquid sity, the volume flow of the cleaning fluid flowing through the pump outlet 38 and the metering of the cleaning chemical which can be added to the cleaning fluid by means of the admixing device 44.
- these delivery parameters can be adapted automatically to the respective dispensing unit 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 used.
- the storage member 103 of the transponder 102 of the Austrags- units 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 stored the respective optimal delivery parameters for the respective discharge unit, and when connecting the respective discharge unit to the spray gun 14, the in the memory member stored delivery parameters are read out by means of the reader 106.
- a corresponding signal can then be transmitted from the reading device 106 via the connecting line 108 to the detection unit 104 and from there via the radio link to the control device 46.
- the control device 46 controls the high-pressure cleaning device 12 in such a way that the respectively-read delivery parameter is provided.
- the high-pressure cleaning device 12 has a pressure sensor 120, by means of which the pressure prevailing at the pump outlet 38 pressure of the cleaning liquid can be detected, and the high-pressure cleaning device 10 includes a flow sensor 122, by means of which the volume flow of the pump outlet 38 flowing through cleaning liquid can be detected ,
- the high-pressure cleaning device 12 has a concentration sensor 124, by means of which the concentration of the cleaning liquid optionally mixed by means of the admixing device 44 can be detected.
- the pressure sensor 120 like the volumetric flow sensor 122 and the concentration sensor 124, is in electrical communication with the control device 46, and the control device controls the pump 34 and the admixing device 44 such that the delivery parameters provided by the detection unit 104 are sufficient to achieve the best possible cleaning result are adapted to the respectively used for dispensing unit 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 are provided by the high pressure cleaning device 12.
- the operation of the high-pressure cleaning system 10 thus is very simple for the user, depending on the cleaning task to be solved different discharge units 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 can be used and the delivery parameters of the high-pressure cleaning device 12 automatically to each coming to use Discharge unit can be adjusted without the user this consuming adjustments on the high-pressure cleaner 12 or on the spray gun 14 must make.
- the user has the option of changing the delivery parameters on the touch screen 114 of the spray gun 14 as needed.
