  • Patent number: 12011727
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switching apparatus for high pressure tools, comprising a holding device and two or more high pressure tools for cleaning purposes, a drive device, and a rotary body that is rotatable relative to the holding device about an axis of rotation by means of said drive device, an adjusting device with which one of the high pressure tools is selectively transferable from an inoperative position into an operating position, in which operating position the high pressure tool is coupled to the rotary body in a rotationally fixed manner and is rotationally drivable about a tool axis by way of said rotary body, wherein the switching apparatus comprises or forms a supply channel for pressurized cleaning liquid and the respective high pressure tool comprises or forms a tool channel for cleaning liquid, which is in flow connection or can be brought into flow connection with the supply channel during operation, wherein the switching apparatus further comprises a valve device with which the supply ch

  • Patent number: 9914238
    Abstract: Apparatus for generating a pulsating pressurized fluid jet are disclosed. One disclosed example includes a line system having at least one nozzle with at least one nozzle orifice from which a pulsating fluid jet of pressurized fluid emerges, and a chamber having a pressure wave generating device to generate fluid pressure waves, where the chamber is in fluid communication with the line system through an outlet opening for the generated fluid pressure waves. The disclosed example also includes a setting device for controlling the amplitude of the fluid pressure waves in the line system upstream of the at least one nozzle orifice where the setting device sets a quotient of a path length of the fluid pressure waves between the outlet opening and the at least one nozzle orifice, and the wavelength of the fluid pressure waves in the line system.

  • Publication number: 20140109939
    Abstract: Nozzle apparatus and methods for treating workpieces are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a nozzle module and a first nozzle chamber disposed within the nozzle module. The first nozzle chamber has a first nozzle opening and is to deliver a relatively high pressure fluid to the first nozzle opening. The example apparatus also includes a second nozzle chamber disposed within the nozzle module and having a second nozzle opening, the second nozzle chamber to deliver a relatively low pressure fluid to a second nozzle opening. A first flow of the low pressure fluid at least partially contacts a second flow of the high pressure fluid. The second flow is directed onto a workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20050108837
    Abstract: In order to provide a holder for a tool, in particular a water tool, to be supplied with a fluid, which holder allows the tool to be held in the holder to be connected simply, quickly and reliably to the holder, it is proposed that the holder comprises a receiver for receiving a connection piece of the tool, a sealing element which engages the connection piece in a working position, and a biasing device for biasing the sealing element against the connection piece in the working position.
