Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a high-pressure liquid installation with a pressurized water generator (10) to which a spraying device (42) is connected, while an adjustable pressure-limiting valve (14) is arranged between the pressurized water generator (10) and the spraying device (42). The pressure-limiting valve (14) is adjustable in its pressure by remote operation by electrical signals which can be generated by electrical control elements (56, 58), while a delay device (40) may be provided for surge-free pressure adjustment.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
High-pressure liquid installation with a pressurized liquid generator to which a spraying device is connected, a valve between the pressurized liquid generator and the spraying devce which can be opened and closed by remote operation by a switch in order to feed the liquid to the spraying device or return the same to the region of the suction side of the pressurized liquid generator, said valve being constructed as an adjustable pressure-limiting valve and adjustable in its pressure by remote operation, electrical control elements arranged in association with the spraying device and operable to adjust said pressure limiting valve, a delay device for surge-free pressure adjustment associated with the valve, and said pressure limiting valve having at least two pressure stages which are selectable by actuation of said control elements and preadjustable in conformity with required pressure levels, and a control device for preadjusting said required pressure levels.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
High-pressure liquid installation with a pressurized liquid generator to which a spraying device is connected, a valve between the pressurized liquid generator and the spraying devce which can be opened and closed by remote operation by a switch in order to feed the liquid to the spraying device or return the same to the region of the suction side of the pressurized liquid generator, said valve being constructed as an adjustable pressure-limiting valve and adjustable in its pressure by remote operation, electrical control elements arranged in association with the spraying device and operable to adjust said pressure limiting valve, a delay device for surge-free pressure adjustment associated with the valve, and said pressure limiting valve having at least two pressure stages which are selectable by actuation of said control elements and preadjustable in conformity with required pressure levels, and a control device for preadjusting said required pressure levels.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
Installation according to claim 1, characterised in that the pressure-limiting valve (14) is loaded by a spring force which is adjustable by a control device (20 to 38).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
Installation according to claim 1, characterised in that the pressure adjustment can be performed in conformity with a prescribed, particularly linear, function between the pressure and the force acting on the pressure-limiting valve (14).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
Installation according to claim 1, characterised in that an additional tripping switch (50) is wired in series with the electrical control elements (56, 58) as a two-handed safety device.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
Installation according to claim 1, characterised in that the pressure stages are obtainable with time delay.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
Installation according to claim 1, characterised in that the delay device is a throttle (40).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
68 words
Installation according to claim 2, characterised in that an air compressor (20) with a pneumatic control block (22 to 40) is provided as control device, whilst said block exhibits parallel-connected reducing valves (24, 26, 28) to prescribe pressure stages and each reducing valve (24, 26, 28) is followed by a switching valve (34, 36, 38) which can be actuated by an associated switch on the spraying device (42).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
Installation according to claim 1, characterised in that an optical display means (52, 54, 55) is provided on the spraying device (42).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
Installation according to claim 8, characterised in that the display means consists of light-emitting diodes (52, 54, 55).
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
57 words
Installation according to claim 9, characterised in that a low pressure stage can be switched on by means of a control element (56) of the spraying device (42), serving also as main switch, and a control element (58) constructed as a switch with associated light-emitting diodes (54, 55) is allocated to each of the higher pressure stages.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
37 words
Installation according to claim 10, characterised in that the switching valves (36, 38) following the control element (58) for the higher pressure stages can be moved into the "off" position by switching off the control element (56).
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
41 words
Installation according to claim 1, characterised in that a switch (58) employed as control element exhibits as a push-button a plurality of control positions, by each of which a switching valve (34, 36, 38) of another pressure stage can be actuated.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
39 words
Installation according to claim 1, characterized in that the spraying device (42) exhibits a trigger (51) and a tripping switch (50), actuated thereby whilst the restoration of the trigger (51) into its rest position maintains a preselected pressure stage.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
28 words
Installation according to claim 1, characterized in that a triggering switch is provided and the control elements (56, 58) are locked against actuation in the "on" position thereby.
