摘要:
A floor cleaning machine (10) of the type having a fluid driven scrub brush (24) utilizes fluid pressure for applying down force on the scrub brush (24) to a floor surface being cleaned. The fluid pressure applied is controlled by a fluid pressure regulator which has a movable valve element (34) and an electrical coil (58) for controlling the position of the movable valve element (34). There is a feedback circuit for controlling current through the coil (58) which includes a source of power (60,62) and a pulse width modulation switching device (66). The switching device (66) in turn is controlled by a comparison between the current sensed in the coil circuit and an operator set value for the desired current to provide a desired down force on the cleaning brush (24).
