A switchable nozzle arrangement (10) is provided, comprising a fluid inlet device (14) and a fluid outlet device (16), which can be rotated with respect to one another around an axis of rotation (18). The fluid outlet device (16) comprises a rotary nozzle (50) and at least one additional nozzle (52, 54). Depending on the rotary position, either the rotary nozzle (50) or one of the additional nozzles (52, 54) is connected to an inlet channel (22) of the fluid inlet device (14). The rotary nozzle (50) comprises a housing (56) in which a rotor is arranged, which, via a spherical end (84) in a recess (80) on the end face and via a contact surface (98) on the circumference thereof, is supported on a support surface (100) of the housing (56). Pressurised fluid can flow into the housing via tangential inlets (62) and leave via an outlet (66), wherein the fluid moves the rotor in a circumferential movement around the longitudinal axis (76) of the housing. The at least one additional nozzle (52, 54) comprises a nozzle line (106, 110) having a nozzle body (108, 112). In order that the switchable nozzle arrangement (10) has a high cleaning performance and a high mechanical resilience, it is proposed that the rotary nozzle (50) is designed as a separate unit.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a high pressure cleaning system (10) having a high pressure cleaning device (12) and an external battery-operated control unit (44). The high pressure cleaning device has a motor pump unit (16) having a motor (18) and a pump (20), and an electronic controller (40) for controlling at least one conveying parameter of the motor pump unit (16) and a sensor (42) for detecting the actual value of the conveying parameter. The control unit has an input device (48) for input of a desired value of the conveying parameter and a display device (50) for displaying a display value corresponding to the respective actual value. A predetermined desired value signal can be transmitted wirelessly from the control unit (44) to the electronic controller (40) and an actual value transfer signal can be transmitted wirelessly from the electronic controller (40) to the control unit (44). The problem addressed by the invention is that of modifying the high pressure cleaning system in such a way that the user is provided with great ease of operation at low energy consumption. This problem is solved, according to the invention, in that after the transmission of the desired value-predetermined value from the control unit (44) an actual value interrogation signal can be repeatedly transmitted automatically to the electronic controller (40), and that after reception of the actual value interrogation signal automatically the actual value transfer signal can be transmitted from the electronic controller (40) to the control unit (44).

Abrégé

The invention relates to a rotary coupling (10) for a fluid line, having a first and a second coupling part (12, 14), which can be connected pluggably to each other with the interposition of a sealing element (32), and having a union ring (16), which engages behind a radial widened portion of the first coupling part (12) with a narrowed portion (18) directed radially inward and which is detachably connectable to the second coupling part (14), wherein a plurality of rolling elements (66) distributed over the circumference of the first coupling part (12) are arranged between the radial widened portion (20) and the narrowed portion (18). The problem addressed by the invention is that of developing the rotary coupling in such a manner that the rotary coupling has a smaller overall size. This problem is solved in that the widened portion (20) and the narrowed portion (18) have bearing surfaces (68, 70) facing each other, which support the rolling elements (66) in the axial direction.

Abrégé

The problem addressed by the invention is the improvement of the handling of a steam-cleaning device floor nozzle for a steam-cleaning device. Said steam-cleaning device comprises a storage tank for a liquid, a steam-generating apparatus having a fluid connection to the storage tank, for generating a liquid steam, and a connecting line, which has a fluid connection to the steam-generating apparatus, which steam-cleaning device floor nozzle comprises a nozzle body having at least one steam outlet opening and comprises a connection element, which is coupled, in particular in an articulated manner, to the nozzle body and defines a connection element channel and has a coupling segment, which coupling segment can be temporarily coupled or is permanently coupled to the particularly hose- or pipe-shaped connecting line, which has a fluid connection to the steam-generating apparatus. This problem is solved, according to the invention, in that the steam-cleaning device floor nozzle comprises a rotary joint that defines an axis of rotation, for rotating the coupling segment and the nozzle body in relation to each other about the axis of rotation, a pivot joint that defines a pivot axis extending transversely to the axis of rotation, for pivoting the coupling segment and the nozzle body in relation to each other about the pivot axis, and a braking apparatus that interacts with the pivot joint, for applying a braking force or a braking torque to the pivot joint, against the action of which braking force or braking torque the coupling segment and the nozzle body can be pivoted in relation to each other about the pivot axis. The invention further relates to an improved steam-cleaning device.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a nozzle arrangement (10) comprising a nozzle inlet part (12), which has an inlet channel (28) for pressurised liquid, and comprising a nozzle outlet part (16), which can be continuously displaced back and forth relative to the nozzle inlet part (12) between a first position and a second position and which has a high-pressure nozzle (74) designed as a flat-spray nozzle and at least one low-pressure nozzle (104, 106) designed as a flat-spray nozzle. In the first position, only the high-pressure nozzle (74) is connected to the inlet channel (28), and in the second position the high-pressure nozzle (74) and the at least one low-pressure nozzle (104, 106) are connected to the inlet channel (28). In order to uniformly alter the pressure of the dispensed liquid while keeping the delivery quantity constant and keeping changes to the jet pattern as low as possible, the at least one low-pressure nozzle (104, 106) is radially offset with respect to the high-pressure nozzle (74) and the nozzle outlet part (16) has a connecting nipple (78) via which the high-pressure nozzle (74) has a flow connection to the inlet channel (28) irrespective of the position of the nozzle outlet part (16) and which interrupts a flow connection of the inlet channel (28) to the at least one low-pressure nozzle (104, 106) in the first position of the nozzle outlet part (16) and which exposes an increasing annular gap (13) of adjustable width on transition of the nozzle outlet part (16) into the second position, wherein via said annular gap the inlet channel (28) has a flow connection to the at least one low-pressure nozzle (104, 106).
