Fluid discharge head
Fluid discharge head having a discharge nozzle ( 5 ) which has a discharge opening ( 6 ) in which an inner sleeve ( 7 ) is arranged, which has a medium duct ( 8 ) and holds a spring-loaded valve body ( 10 ) automatically closing the discharge opening ( 6 ), the valve body ( 10 ) being formed as a cylindrical piston, which can be displaced axially in a cylinder chamber ( 12 ) formed by the inner sleeve ( 7 ), an upper ( 14 ) and a lower valve seat ( 15 ) being provided for the piston ends ( 16, 17 ), and the valve body ( 10 ) having an intermediate valve plate ( 18 ), which forms a chamber bottom of a pressure chamber ( 19 ) connected to the medium duct ( 8 ), and, in order to open the upper valve seat ( 14 ), a medium discharge pressure which is higher than a spring force holding the valve body ( 10 ) closed can be set in the pressure chamber.
1. A fluid discharge head, comprising:
a discharge nozzle, comprising:
a discharge opening in the discharge nozzle; and
an upper valve seat adjacent the discharge opening;
an inner sleeve arranged on an interior of the discharge nozzle, comprising:
a medium duct in the inner sleeve;
a cylindrical chamber in the inner sleeve in communication with the medium duct; and
a lower valve seat;
a valve body within the cylindrical chamber, comprising:
a cylindrical piston comprising a first piston end seated in the upper valve seat and a second piston end seated in the lower valve seat;
a passage duct in the cylindrical piston;
an intermediate valve plate extending off an outer surface of the valve body between the first piston end and the second piston end;
a spring within the cylindrical chamber and applying a load to the valve body;
a pressure chamber in fluid communication with the medium duct and defined by the intermediate valve plate, the inner sleeve, and the discharge nozzle;
wherein the intermediate valve plate comprises a peripheral sealing lip which guides the valve body in the cylindrical chamber; and
wherein the cylindrical chamber in the inner sleeve comprises a shoulder wherein an end of the spring rests on the shoulder.
2. The fluid discharge head of claim 1 , further comprising a pilot pressure within the pressure chamber between 1.5 and 2.3 bar.
3. The fluid discharge head of claim 1 , wherein the second piston end comprises a funnel shaped piston end.
4. The fluid discharge head of claim 1 , wherein the inner sleeve further comprises a connecting element.
5. The fluid discharge head of claim 1 , wherein the medium duct and the passage duct are in communication.
6. The fluid discharge head of claim 1 , wherein the passage duct is through the center of the cylindrical piston.
7. The fluid discharge head of claim 1 , wherein the upper valve seat comprises a bush.
8. The fluid discharge head of claim 7 , wherein the bush is integral to the discharge head.
9. The fluid discharge head of claim 7 , wherein the bush is an insert in an end of the discharge head.
10. A fluid discharge head, comprising:
a discharge nozzle, comprising:
a discharge opening in one end of the discharge nozzle; and
an upper valve seat adjacent the discharge opening;
an inner sleeve arranged on an interior of the discharge nozzle, comprising:
a first end adjacent the discharge nozzle;
a second end opposite the first end;
a lower valve seat between the first end and the second end;
a cylindrical chamber in the inner sleeve extending from the first end to a shoulder adjacent the lower valve seat; and
a medium duct in the inner sleeve extending from the second end to the lower valve seat;
a spring-loaded valve body seated in the cylindrical chamber, comprising:
a cylindrical piston having a first piston end seated in the upper valve seat and a second piston end opposite the first piston end and seated in the lower valve seat;
a passage duct through the cylindrical piston;
an intermediate valve plate extending off an exterior of the spring-loaded valve body between the first piston end and second piston end, wherein the intermediate valve plate seals against an interior surface of the cylindrical chamber between the upper valve seat and the lower valve seat forming a pressure chamber between the intermediate valve plate and the upper valve seat;
a spring seated in the cylindrical chamber between the shoulder and an underside of the intermediate valve plate.
11. The fluid-discharge head of claim 10 , further comprising a funnel at the second piston end and an annular groove in the spring-loaded valve body between the first piston end and the intermediate valve plate, wherein the passage duct extends from the funnel to the annular groove.
