Pressure Washer Pressure Valve Assembly

摘要

A pressure washer unloader valve assembly having a movable operator that manipulates an orientation of a valve body to manipulate the flow pressure is communicated downstream of the valve assembly. A cam and follower interface is formed between the operator and the valve body such that the movable operator is movable within less than 360 radial degrees to effectuate manipulation the valve assembly between a fully open and a fully closed configuration. Preferably, the valve assembly is configured to achieve the fully open or fully closed orientations of the valve assembly during a single wrist rotation of a user during interaction with the movable operator either remotely or at a pump.

主权项

1. A pressure washer unloader valve assembly comprising:
a housing that defines an inlet and an outlet associated with a high pressure flow; a valve body disposed in the housing and movable relative to the housing to define a variable shape passage between the inlet and the outlet; an operator engaged with the valve body and configured to be manipulated by a user to alter a position of the valve body relative to the housing; and a cam and follower interface between the operator and the valve body, the cam and follower interface configured to allow translation of the valve body relative to the housing in response to movement of the operator to manipulate a spring pressure that regulates an output pressure associated with the high pressure flow.
