This application is a reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 10,968,899, which issued Apr. 6, 2021 from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/518,205, filed Jul. 23, 2018, which is the United States national phase of International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2016/106663, filed Nov. 21, 2016, which claims priority to CN 201510810513.3, filed Nov. 20, 2015, the entire contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a pump unit. The present invention further relates to a handheld high-pressure cleaning machine, and in particular, to a handheld high-pressure cleaning machine using the pump unit.
In family life and outdoor activities, there are always extensive demands for cleaning.
In courtyard-centered family life, people usually need to clean balconies, aisles, outdoor tables and chairs, barbecues, automobiles, bicycles, garages, pets, garden tools, windows, swimming pools, outdoor stairs, and the like. Those objects are used outdoors. Therefore, it is inevitable for those objects to get stains such as oil, leaves, and dust. It is very inconvenient to clean by using a duster cloth, and those objects need to be cleaned by using water or even high-pressure water. To satisfy the foregoing demands, a solution on the market is to provide domestic high-pressure cleaning machines. As disclosed in the Chinese patent CN1840246A, the high-pressure cleaning machines generally have a main body and a spray gun. The main body is provided with a water tank, a motor, and a water pump. The spray gun is provided with a trigger switch for spraying water. The high-pressure cleaning machines have a large volume and a heavy weight. When a working scenario is changed, transportation of the high-pressure cleaning machines is inconvenient. For example, on a family cleaning day, if windows, lanes, stairs, and automobiles need to be cleaned one by one, a high-pressure cleaning machine needs to be moved among different locations. In addition, water needs to be added to a water tank before the high-pressure cleaning machine is used. Operations are not simple enough.
In outdoor activities, such as mountain climbing, off-road driving, cycling, camping, horse riding, and boat sailing, tools and animals involved in the fierce activities that are carried out in an environment closer to nature get dirty more easily and need to be cleaned in time. For example, automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles inevitably get mud after being used in the wild. Ships, boats, and rafts are covered with mud and water plants, and also need to be cleaned after sailing. Horses and users sweat and get dirty, and should be washed or take a shower in time in case of uncomfortableness. The foregoing high-pressure cleaning machine is not suitable to be carried around in the foregoing outdoor activities due to a large volume and a heavy weight. The foregoing high-pressure cleaning machine is powered by using an alternating-current power source. A matching power source is difficult to find in the outdoor activities. Users have no choice but to tolerate stains in the activities, and clean after they return to a fixed location after the activities end; or the users simply wipe with a duster cloth when passing by a water source during the activities. Cleaning efficiency is low, an effect is poor, and it is very dirty in a cleaning process.
In conclusion, users have a cleaning demand in various scenarios and locations. However, related products on the market have poor portability, and can only be used in limited scenarios and locations. The users cannot clean anytime anywhere. If a product that can be conveniently and effortlessly moved to clean a balcony, a lane, an automobile, and the like in various family cleaning activities and can be carried around in activities such as off-road driving and cycling to satisfy a cleaning demand in outdoor activities while satisfying a domestic cleaning demand of the users can be provided, cleaning work of the users will be greatly simplified, and a location range of the cleaning work will be expanded, thereby improving life quality of the users.
A main reason affecting a portable function of a high-pressure cleaning machine is mainly that a pump in the high-pressure cleaning machine has a relatively large volume and a relatively heavy weight. A common structure of the pump is shown in the Chinese patent CN1212899C. The pump is driven to work by using a piston and an oscillating wheel-disk. The oscillating wheel-disk and the piston need a relatively large quantity of working cavities. Therefore, this type of pump has a relatively complex structure, a relatively heavy weight, and a relatively large volume.
A main reason affecting an outdoor use function of a high-pressure cleaning machine is that the high-pressure cleaning machine uses an alternating-current power source. The high-pressure cleaning machine that is powered by using an alternating current is limited by a power supply, and a use scenario needs to be provided with a corresponding alternating-current power source, thereby reducing convenience of application in an outdoor scenario. The high-pressure cleaning machine that is powered by using an alternating current is limited by a length of a power line, and a cleaning range thereof is only within a range of the length of the power line, thereby restricting the cleaning range and mobility of the high-pressure cleaning machine.

As shown in
The high-pressure cleaning machine is a handheld high-pressure cleaning machine powered by using a direct current. The high-pressure cleaning machine 1 is an integrated spray gun, including a handle 106 used for holding, a battery pack 9, the motor 2, the transmission mechanism 3 connected to the motor 2, the pump 4 driven by the transmission mechanism 3, the nozzle 11 connected to a water outlet of the pump 4, and a water inlet port 104 connected to a water inlet of the pump 4. The high-pressure cleaning machine 1 further includes the housing 10 accommodating the motor 2, the pump 4, and the transmission mechanism 3. The handle 106 is formed on or is connected to the housing 10. A trigger component 105 is disposed near the handle 106, is specifically a trigger, and is configured to trigger a spraying action. The pump, the transmission mechanism, and the motor form a functional component of the high-pressure cleaning machine.
Referring to
To be carried around and used to clean various articles, the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 needs to have a light weight and a high cleaning capability. However, the two are contradictory. To implement a light weight of the high-pressure cleaning machine, weights of the battery pack 9 and the functional component need to be reduced as much as possible. However, a light weight of the battery pack 9 shortens a working time of the high-pressure cleaning machine, and a light weight of the functional component lowers cleaning efficiency of the high-pressure cleaning machine. As a result, a cleaning capability is reduced. Moreover, the working time and the cleaning efficiency are mutually restricted. For a same battery pack, a longer working time indicates a weaker cleaning capability. On the contrary, a stronger cleaning capability indicates a shorter working time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the weight, the working time, and the cleaning efficiency of the high-pressure cleaning machine need to be balanced.
In this embodiment, the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 has a total weight less than or equal to 3 kilograms. In an optional implementation solution, the total weight is less than 2.8 kilograms, 2.5 kilograms, 2 kilograms, 1.8 kilograms, 1.7 kilograms, or 1.5 kilograms. In an embodiment, the functional component has a weight less than or equal to 1000 grams, and the battery pack 9 has a weight less than or equal to 800 grams. In another optional embodiment, the functional component has a weight less than or equal to 600 grams, and the battery pack 9 has a weight less than or equal to 400 grams. In an embodiment, another component except the functional component and the battery pack 9 has a weight less than or equal to 500 grams. Preferably, the another component has a weight less than 400 grams or 300 grams. A lighter weight enables that the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 to be handheld to do cleaning work for a long time. In this embodiment, the battery pack 9 is a lithium battery pack of a rated voltage of 18 V to 42 V and of 1.5 Ah to 3 Ah, to provide enough working energy and be light. In another optional embodiment, the rated voltage of the battery pack may also be from 28 V to 60 V. In an embodiment, the battery pack 9 is a detachable rechargeable battery pack. The battery pack may be at least adaptively connected to two different types of direct-current tools, so that different direct-current tools can share the battery pack, so as to reduce types and a quantity of battery packs required by a user
The motor 2, the transmission mechanism 3, and the pump 4 are described in detail below. A specific structure thereof has both a light weight and a cleaning capability.
In addition to the weight, a location of the center of gravity also affects actual weight experience of a user. In this embodiment, the pump 4, the transmission mechanism 3, and the motor 2 in the functional component are sequentially arranged from front-to-rear direction, and are located at one end of the handle 106. The battery pack 9 is located at the other end of the handle 106, so that the center of gravity of the functional component is located in the front of a front endpoint of the handle, and the center of gravity of the battery pack is located behind the front endpoint of the handle. In an optional implementation solution, at least one part of the functional component and the battery pack 9 that are respectively located at the two ends of the handle 106 extends into the handle 106. In an optional implementation solution, all or some of the pump 4, the transmission mechanism 3, and the motor 2 in the functional component are disposed in parallel to the handle 106. For example, the pump 4 is located at one end the handle 106, and the transmission mechanism 3 and the motor 2 are disposed in parallel to the handle 106.
The functional component and the battery pack 9 are two main weight bodies of the high-pressure cleaning machine 1. The functional component and the battery pack 9 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the handle 106, so that the center of gravity of the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 is located near the handle 106. Therefore, when a user holds the high-pressure cleaning machine, the weight basically falls onto a hand of the user. It is relatively labor-saving. Specifically, the center of gravity of the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 falls in a front-to-rear direction of the high-pressure cleaning machine and is within a range from 8 centimeters behind a rear endpoint of the handle 106 to 8 centimeters in front of a front endpoint of the handle 106. In an optional embodiment, the center of gravity falls in the front-to-rear direction of the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 and is within a range from the rear endpoint of the handle 106 to 5 centimeters, 3 centimeters, 2 centimeters, or 1 centimeter in front of the front endpoint of the handle 106. In another optional embodiment, the center of gravity falls in the front-to-rear direction of the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 and is within a range from 5 centimeters, 3 centimeters, 2 centimeters, or 1 centimeter behind the rear endpoint of the handle 106 to the front endpoint of the handle 106. In another optional embodiment, the center of gravity falls in the front-to-rear direction of the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 and is within a range from the rear endpoint of the handle 106 to the front endpoint of the handle.
In this embodiment, the handle 106 is obliquely arranged. In another optional embodiment, the handle 106 is basically vertically arranged. In this embodiment, the handle 106 is located at the tail of an entire machine. In another optional embodiment, the handle 106 may be located in the middle of the entire machine.
In this embodiment, the water inlet port 104 is located near the center of gravity, and specifically, is located within a range of 5 centimeters or 3 centimeters in front of or behind the center of gravity. In this way, a weight of the water pipe 14 connected to the water inlet port also falls near the center of gravity. The water inlet port 104 may also be located near the handle 106, and specifically, is within a range from 3 centimeters or 5 centimeters in front of the front endpoint of the handle 106 to 3 centimeters or 5 centimeters behind the rear endpoint. In this way, a probability that the water pipe 14 intertwines with another object when a user moves is reduced.
To improve portability, in this embodiment, the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 has a total length less than 500 millimeters. Preferably, the total length is 400 millimeters or 350 millimeters. When nozzles of different lengths are used, the total length of the high-pressure cleaning machine is changed. For example, when a long nozzle is used, the total length of the high-pressure cleaning machine may reach 1000 millimeters. Preferably, when no nozzle is added to the high-pressure cleaning machine 1, the length of the high-pressure cleaning machine 1 is less than 300 millimeters or 250 millimeters. The high-pressure cleaning machine 1 has a total height less than 250 millimeters or 200 millimeters, and a total width (not including the battery pack) less than 150 millimeters or 100 millimeters.
The high-pressure cleaning machines 1 in the foregoing different embodiments all have the pump 4, the motor 2, and the transmission mechanism 3 connected the motor 2 and the pump 4, as shown in
As shown in
A specific structure of the pump in this embodiment is described in detail below.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
The water outlet chamber 44 has the water outlet 441, and the water outlet chamber 44 also includes a first water outlet chamber 442 and a second water outlet chamber 443 that are symmetrically disposed. The first water outlet chamber 442 and the second water outlet chamber 443 are also separately connected to the central chamber 41, and are both connected to the water outlet 441. In this embodiment, the opening direction of the water inlet 431 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the water outlet 441. The first water outlet chamber 442 and the second water outlet chamber 443 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the central chamber 41. Further, the first water outlet chamber 442 and the second water outlet chamber 443 are also connected to the central chamber 41 by using connection channels 45. That is, a connection channel 45 at one end of the central chamber 41 connects the first water inlet chamber 432 and the first water outlet chamber 442 to the central chamber 41. A connection channel 45 located at the other end of the central chamber 41 connects the second water inlet chamber 433 and the second water outlet chamber 443 to the central chamber 41. The water inlet chamber 43, the water outlet chamber 44, and the central chamber 41 are disposed in parallel. Connecting channels 45 respectively connected to the water inlet chamber 43 and the water outlet chamber 44 are disposed at an end portion 47 of the central chamber 41.
As shown in
In the present invention, the pump 4 further includes a one-way valve unit 6 configured to control flowing of water in a channel. The one-way valve unit 6 includes a first one-way valve unit 61 and a second one-way valve unit 62 that are symmetrically disposed. The first one-way valve unit 61 is used as an example for description below. In this embodiment, the first one-way valve unit 61 includes a first one-way valve component 611 that is disposed between the first water inlet chamber 432 and the central chamber 41 and a second one-way valve component 612 that is disposed between the central chamber 41 and the first water outlet chamber 442. The first one-way valve component 611 is configured to control flowing of water between the first water inlet chamber 432 and the central chamber 41. The second one-way valve component 612 is configured to control flowing of water between the first water outlet chamber 442 and the central chamber 41. When the first one-way valve component 611 is opened, water in the first water inlet chamber 432 may flow to the central chamber 41. Moreover, water in the central chamber 41 does not flow to the first water inlet chamber 432 because of a unidirectional conduction function of the one-way valve component. That is, the first one-way valve component 611 controls water to flow only from the first water inlet chamber 432 to the central chamber 41. When the first one-way valve component 611 is closed, water in the first water inlet chamber 432 cannot flow to the central chamber 41. In this case, the first water inlet chamber 432 and the central chamber 41 are separated from each other. Similarly, when the second one-way valve component 612 is opened, water in the central chamber 41 may flow to the second water outlet chamber 443. The second one-way valve component 612 has a unidirectional conduction function. When the second one-way valve component 612 is closed, water in the central chamber 41 cannot flow to the second water outlet chamber 443, and the water gathers in the central chamber 41.
In the present invention, the plunger 5 in the central chamber 41 is configured to control opening and closing of the first one-way valve unit 61. Particularly, the plunger 5 may control the first one-way valve component 611 to be opened, and simultaneously control the second one-way valve component 612 to be closed. The plunger 5 may further control the first one-way valve component 611 to be closed, and simultaneously control the second one-way valve component 612 to be opened. That is, the plunger 5 may simultaneously control the first one-way valve component 611 and the second one-way valve component 612 to be in different states of being opened or closed. As shown in the figure, it is defined that when moving to a lower-most end of the central chamber 41, the plunger 5 is in a first critical state. In this state, the plunger 5 starts moving from the lower-most end to an upper end. In this case, the first one-way valve component 611 is opened, while the second one-way valve component 612 is closed. Therefore, water flows from the first water inlet chamber 432 to the central chamber 41, and does not flow out of the central chamber 41. The water gathers in the central chamber 41. Then, the plunger 5 continues moving from the lower-most end of the central chamber 41 to the upper end, and moves to an upper-most end of the central chamber 41. It is defined that the plunger 5 is in a second critical state in this case. In the second critical state, the plunger 5 starts moving from the upper-most end to the lower end. In this case, the first one-way valve component 611 is closed, while the second one-way valve component 612 is opened. Water cannot be supplemented from the water inlet chamber 43 and enter the central chamber 41. Water originally in the central chamber 41 is squeezed by the plunger 5 to generate high pressure, flows to the first water outlet chamber 442, and is sprayed out from the nozzle 11 through the water outlet 441.
Similarly, the plunger 5 may also control opening and closing of the second one-way valve unit 62. The second one-way valve unit 62 includes a third one-way valve component 621 and a fourth one-way valve component 622. The third one-way valve component 621 is disposed between the second water inlet chamber 433 and the central chamber 41, and the fourth one-way valve component 622 is disposed between the central chamber 41 and the second water outlet chamber 443. When the plunger 5 is in the first critical state, the third one-way valve component 621 is closed while the fourth one-way valve component 622 is opened. Therefore, water in the central chamber 41 flows out of the second water outlet chamber 443. When the plunger 5 is in the second critical state, the third one-way valve component 621 is opened while the fourth one-way valve component 622 is closed. Therefore, water flows from the second water inlet chamber 433 to the central chamber 41. Therefore, the second one-way valve unit 62 and the first one-way valve unit 61 can be complementary, thereby improving efficiency of pumping water by the pump. In a process in which the plunger 5 is changed from the first critical state to the second critical state, water entering from the water inlet 431 enters the central chamber 41 through the first water inlet chamber 432, and is discharged from the second water outlet chamber 443 from the water outlet 441 with squeezing of the plunger 5. In a process in which the plunger 5 is changed from the second critical state to the first critical state, water entering from the water inlet 431 enters the central chamber 41 through the second water inlet chamber 433, and is discharged from the first water outlet chamber 442 from the water outlet 441 with squeezing of the plunger 5, and is sprayed out from the nozzle 11.
The first one-way valve component 611 includes a one-way valve 613 and a biasing component 614 for biasing the one-way valve 613. When the plunger 5 is in the second critical state, the biasing component 614 generates a biasing force so that the one-way valve 613 seals the first water inlet chamber 432. As the plunger 5 is changed from the second critical state to the first critical state, a cavity volume near the one-way valve 613 gradually increases. Therefore, pressure generated to overcome the biasing component 614 becomes increasingly high. Eventually, the one-way valve 613 is opened, that is, the first one-way valve component 611 is changed from a closed state to an opened state. The second one-way valve component 612 also includes a one-way valve 615 and a biasing component 616 for biasing the one-way valve 615. A direction of the one-way valve 615 of the second one-way valve component 612 and a biasing direction of the biasing component 616 are opposite to a direction of the one-way valve 613 of the first one-way valve component 611 and a biasing direction of the biasing component 614. Therefore, as the plunger 5 is changed from the second critical state to the first critical state, pressure that can be generated to overcome the biasing component 616 becomes increasingly low. Eventually, the one-way valve 615 seals the first water outlet chamber 442 under the action of the biasing pressure. That is, the second one-way valve component 612 is changed from an opened state to a closed state.
Because the first one-way valve unit 61 and the second one-way valve unit 62 are symmetrically disposed, in a process in which the plunger 5 is changed from the second critical state to the first critical state, the third one-way valve component 621 of the second one-way valve unit 62 is correspondingly changed from an opened state to a closed state, and the fourth one-way valve component 622 is correspondingly changed from a closed state to an opened state.

In another embodiment shown in
In the foregoing embodiments, the plunger 5 is connected to the eccentric mechanism 7. The plunger 5 is driven by eccentric rotating motion of the eccentric mechanism 7 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the length direction of the plunger 5. Certainly, the present invention is not limited to that the plunger 5 is connected to the eccentric mechanism 7. The plunger 5 may also be connected to another mechanism to implement linear reciprocating motion along the length direction of the plunger 5. In embodiments shown in
In embodiments shown in
As shown in a schematic cross-sectional view in
As described above, in one or more implementation solutions of the transmission mechanism 3, a reduction structure such as a planetary gear mechanism is included. When an input rotation speed range of the pump and a matching rotating-reciprocating conversion structure is constant, compared with using a low-speed motor whose output speed is within the input rotation speed range, entire weights and volumes of the motor and the transmission mechanism can be remarkably reduced by properly using the reduction structure and a high-speed motor. In this embodiment, a no-load speed of the motor 2 is greater than or equal to 10000 rpm, 12000 rpm, 15000 rpm, or 20000 rpm. A no-load output speed of the reduction structure of the transmission mechanism 3 is less than or equal to 3000 rpm, 2500 rpm, 2200 rpm, or 2000 rpm. A reduction ratio of the reduction structure of the transmission mechanism 3 is from 12:1 to 3:1, for example, approximately 10:1, 8:1, 7:1, 6:1, 5:1, or 4:1. Compared with directly using a low-speed motor, the volume and the weight of the motor 2 in this embodiment can be reduced to less than half, thereby improving portability of the high-pressure cleaning machine 1.
The embodiments described above are merely some implementation manners of the present invention. The descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed. However, it should not be understood as a limitation to the patent scope of the present invention. It should be noted that, a person of ordinary skill in the art may further make some variations and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the variations and improvements shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
