Abstract

In order to minimize the dimensions of the spring (22) and the pump motor in a high-pressure cleaning device comprising a high-pressure pump pumping cleaning liquid out of a suction line (1) into a pressure line (6) leading to a discharge device, a bypass line (18) leading from the pressure line to the suction line, a valve body (19) closing the outlet opening (8) between pressure line and bypass line, an actuating element (20) for the valve body which is movable against the valve body contrary to the action of a spring (22) into a position displacing the valve body into the open position, and an operating cylinder divided by a piston (10) sealingly displaceable therein and coupled to the actuating element into two chambers, (11,12) one of which is arranged between the outlet opening and the bypass line and the other of which communicates with the pressure line via a control line, the control line (13) exits the pressure line (6) in the region of a cross-sectional constriction (15) in this pressure line.
