The first body portion 411 is provided with an opening 414 at the front end thereof, an opening (not labeled) at the rear end thereof, and a receiving space 415 for receiving the motor assembly 1. The first body portion 411 is assembled with the front cover plate 413 at the front end opening 414 far away from the transmission assembly 2, and the first body portion 411 is assembled with the transmission housing 42 at the rear end opening near the transmission assembly 2.
The first body portion 411 has grooves 416 on its both sides, and the two side cover plates 412 are respectively assembled to the two grooves 416 to form a heat dissipating portion 417. The heat dissipating portions 417 on both sides of the first main body portion 411 are simpler in structure and smaller in size than the general annular water channel, so that it is more convenient for the use of a handheld high-pressure cleaning apparatus. On the other hand, the heat dissipating portions 417 on both sides are independent to each other, which is easy to improve the cooling effect of each heat dissipating portion 417. In addition, the cooling method using water-cooling channel adopted by the heat sink 417 can make the high-pressure cleaning apparatus meet the IPX5 waterproof rating requirement compared with the fan cooling method, thereby increasing the working pressure of the high-pressure cleaning apparatus to 4 MPa.
In order to further improve the cooling effect of the heat dissipating portion 417, a plurality of flow guiding ribs 418 are provided in the groove 416. The plurality of flow guiding ribs 418 define a cooling water channel in the heat dissipating portion 417 (see the arrow in
The transmission housing 42 is cylindrical and includes a second body portion 421 and an upper cover plate 422. The second body portion 421 is provided with a receiving space 423 for receiving the transmission assembly 2 and three openings communicating with the receiving space 423. Two of the openings are respectively located at the front end and the rear end of the second main body portion 421. Specifically, the opening (not labeled) at the front end of the second main body portion 421 communicates with the opening at the rear end of the first main body portion 411, and the opening 424 at the rear end of the second main body portion 421 is in communication with the pump 3. The other opening 425 is located on the bottom of the second body portion 421, and the upper cover plate 422 is used to close the opening 425.
The first main body portion 411 and the second main body portion 421 are integrally provided, thereby reducing the noise and the vibration caused by manufacturing and fitting errors between the motor assembly 1 and the transmission housing 42, improving the transmission accuracy and efficiency of the high-pressure cleaning apparatus, and reducing the useless power consumption of the machine.

The plunger 31 is provided with an opening 314 extending from the head portion 313 to the main body portion 312, which is mainly used to reduce the weight of the plunger 31, thereby reducing the vibration caused by the impact of the plunger 31 on the pump 3 during reciprocating motion. The head portion 313 of the plunger 31 is also provided with a plastic plug 315 that blocks the opening 314, which can not only reduce the mass of the plunger 31, but also reduce the clearance volume of the plunger cavity 32 after compression, thereby improving the working efficiency of the high-pressure cleaning apparatus. A first annular groove 316 is provided at a position of the main body portion 312 of the plunger 31 near the head portion 313, which is mainly used to increase the water inflow and drainage of the second chamber 322, thereby increasing the water flow of the high-pressure cleaning apparatus. The head portion 313 of the plunger 31 is provided with a second annular groove 317, and a water seal 318 is sleeved on the second annular groove 317.
The four check valves 33 include a first water inlet valve 331, a second water inlet valve 332, and a first water outlet valve 333 and a second water outlet valve 334. The first water inlet valve 331 and the second water inlet valve 332 are located below the plunger 31 and perpendicular to the plunger 31. The first water outlet valve 333 and the second water outlet valve 334 are parallel to the plunger 31. At the same time, the first water inlet valve 331 and the second water inlet valve 332 are connected to the connecting pipe 52 of the pipe assembly 5, and the first water outlet valve 333 and the second water outlet valve 334 are connected to the water outlet body 34.
A safety valve 341 is installed on the water outlet body 34. When the pump 3 is in operation and the water outlet nozzle (not shown) connected to the water outlet body 34 is blocked, the water pressure in the water outlet body 34 will immediately rise, and the water pressure will immediately reacts on the first water outlet valve 333 and the second water outlet valve 334, and the first water outlet valve 333 and the second water outlet valve 334 are closed. Simultaneously the water pressure acts on the safety valve 341 below the water outlet body 34. The valve core 342 of the safety valve 341 will be opened immediately under the effect of the return water pressure, and the high-pressure return water will be depressurized into the pipe assembly 5. After the water pressure is released, the valve core 342 of the safety valve will immediately return to the closed state. In this way, when the nozzle is blocked, damage to the water gun (not shown) connected to the pump 3 can be avoided.
The working process of the pump 3 is specifically below:

When the plunger 31 moves to the right, the water in the right second chamber 322 is compressed to form a high pressure. The second water inlet valve 332 is closed and the second water outlet valve 334 is opened, so that the high pressure water enters the water outlet body 34 through the second water outlet valve 334. At the same time, the first chamber 321 on the left forms a vacuum state, and the first water inlet valve 331 is opened and the first water outlet valve 333 is closed, so that an external water enters the first chamber 321 through the first water inlet valve 331.

The working process of the switch assembly 6 is specifically shown below:
When the trigger 61 is pressed to start the high-pressure cleaning apparatus, on the one hand, the intermediate wall 613 of the trigger 61 presses the contact 632 to start the motor assembly 1, on the other hand, the bottom wall 611 of the trigger 61 presses the head portion 651 of the driving rod 65. At the same time, the rod portion 652 of the driving rod 65 is pushed to move to the inclined surface 648, so that the ejector pin 645 of the valve core 642 is slowly separated from the first through hole 644 of the valve seat 641, and the water flows into the connecting pipe 53 through the water inlet pipe 54. When the trigger 61 is released to turn off the high-pressure cleaning apparatus, on the one hand, the contact 632 returns and cuts off the power, and the electric switch 63 is turned off. On the other hand, the driving rod 65 returns to its original position under the action of the spring 67, and the valve core 642 is also reinserted into the first through hole 644 under the action of the spring 66.
The working process of the high pressure cleaning apparatus is specifically shown below:
First, the small gear 23 in the transmission housing 41 is driven by the motor shaft 11 to rotate, the small gear 23 drives the large gear 24 to rotate, and the large gear 24 drives the transmission shaft 21 to rotate. The plunger 31 performs a reciprocating motion driven by the eccentric block, thereby converting the rotation of the motor shaft 11 into a linear motion of the plunger 31. Then, the four check valves 33 provided inside the pump 3 are driven by the reciprocating motion of the plunger 31 to suck water and pressurize water. Finally, a high pressure output of high-pressure cleaning apparatus water flow is achieved.
In summary, the present invention provides a high-pressure cleaning apparatus, which includes a motor assembly 1, a transmission assembly driven by the motor assembly 1, a pump 3 connected to the transmission assembly 2, a base 4, and a pipe assembly 5. The high-pressure cleaning apparatus meets the requirements of heat dissipation by providing independent heat-dissipating portions 417 on both sides of the motor housing 41. The high-pressure cleaning apparatus is small in size, high in efficiency, good in cooling, and easy to carry.
