Abstract
A nozzle assembly includes a stator including a front portion optionally with a first nozzle configured to direct an optional first stream of a cleaning fluid in a forward direction of the nozzle assembly, a rear portion including a second nozzle configured to direct a second stream of the cleaning fluid rearward of the nozzle assembly, a rotor disposed between the front portion and the rear portion along a longitudinal axis of the nozzle assembly and including a third nozzle configured to direct a third stream of the cleaning fluid; and a magnetic brake disposed between the stator and rotor.
Claims19
A nozzle assembly comprising:
- a stator comprising:
- a front portion including a first nozzle configured to direct a first stream of a cleaning fluid in a forward direction of the nozzle assembly;
- a rear portion including a second nozzle configured to direct a second stream of the cleaning fluid rearward of the nozzle assembly;
- and
- a shaft fluidly coupling the front portion to the rear portion;
- a rotor disposed between the front portion and the rear portion along a longitudinal axis of the nozzle assembly and surrounding at least a portion of the shaft, the rotor including a third nozzle configured to direct a third stream of the cleaning fluid;
- and
- a magnetic brake disposed at least within an interior of the rotor and arranged concentric with portions of the shaft and the rear portion of the stator along the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the shaft comprises a plurality of branches fluidly coupled to the third nozzle, and
- wherein the plurality of branches and the third nozzle are arranged distal to the magnetic brake.
