Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wasserauslaufarmatur mit einem Sender, einem Empfänger und einer elektronischen Schaltanordnung zur berührungslosen Betätigung eines eingebauten Sperrventils nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Unter "berührungslosen" Wasserauslaufarmaturen dieser Art sind sowohl Waschtischarmaturen als auch andere im Sanitärbereich erforderliche Spülgeräte und dergleichen zu verstehen. Sie arbeiten meist mit Infrarotstrahlen, die durch die Hände oder andere Körperteile des Benutzers reflektiert und von dem Empfänger aufgenommen werden.The invention relates to a water outlet fitting with a Transmitter, a receiver and an electronic Switching arrangement for the contactless actuation of a built-in check valve according to the preamble of Claim 1. Under "non-contact" Water outlet fittings of this type are both Basin fittings as well as others in the sanitary area to understand necessary dishwashers and the like. she mostly work with infrared rays through the hands or other body parts of the user reflecting and from that Recipients can be included.
Es gibt bereits intelligente Wasserauslaufarmaturen, die eine hochentwickelte, umfangreiche elektronische Schaltanordnung (Mikroprozessor) enthalten, die von einer eingebauten Batterie gespeist wird. Eine solche Schaltanordnung kann in verschiedenen Betriebsarten, sogenannten Funktionen betrieben werden, die sich von der Grundbetriebsart, bei der kaltes Wasser fließt, solange sich Hände unter dem Auslauf befinden, unterscheidet. Die Auswahl der Betriebsart geschieht mit Hilfe eines besonderen Einstellgeräts (Fernbedienung) durch Aussenden von Infrarot-Einstellsignalen, die über den ansonsten betrieblich genutzten Empfänger, beispielsweise einen Photowiderstand, von einer in der der Schaltanordnung enthaltenen Dekodierungseinrichtung aufgenommen werden. There are already intelligent water outlet fittings, one sophisticated, extensive electronic circuitry (Microprocessor) included by a built-in Battery is powered. Such a switching arrangement can in different operating modes, so-called functions that are different from the basic mode when cold Water flows as long as hands are under the spout, differs. The operating mode is selected with With the help of a special setting device (remote control) Sending infrared setting signals via the otherwise operationally used receiver, for example a photoresistor, one in the of the switching arrangement contained decoding device can be included.
Eine andere Armatur dieser Art ist in der Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE-U-92 11 577 beschrieben. Hier werden die Betriebsarten oder Funktionen AUS, KALT, AUTOM und HEISS unterschieden. Zum Einstellen einer bestimmten Funktion ist ein Wählschalter vorgesehen, dessen Drehglied in den verschiedenen Raststellungen einrastet. Alternativ ist ein Mehrtastenschalter vorgesehen. Sowohl aus Platzgründen als auch wegen des erforderlichen Feuchtigkeitsschutzes ist jedoch der Einbau solcher verhältnismäßig komplizierter Schalter an einer Wasserarmatur problematisch und aufwendig. Another valve of this type is in the Utility model specification DE-U-92 11 577 described. Here the operating modes or functions are OFF, COLD, AUTO and HOT distinguished. To set a specific function a selector switch is provided, the rotary member in the different locking positions. Alternatively, is a Multi-button switch provided. Both for space reasons and also because of the required moisture protection however, the installation of such relatively complicated Switches on a water fitting are problematic and expensive.
Das Einstellgerät ist jedoch meist nicht griffbereit, seine Bedienung ist teilweise kompliziert und es verteuert den Anschaffungspreis der automatischen Armatur.However, the setting device is usually not within reach, its Operation is sometimes complicated and it makes it more expensive Purchase price of the automatic valve.
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Auswahl der Funktion bzw.die Umstellung der elektronischen Schaltanordnung von einer Funktion auf eine andere zweckmäßiger und einfacher durchzuführen.The invention is therefore based on the object, the selection the function or the conversion of the electronic Switching arrangement from one function to another more convenient and easier to carry out.
Ausgehend von einer Wasserauslaufarmatur der einleitend bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Danach ist an der Armatur ein Schalter fest angebracht, der ohne weiteres von Hand betätigt werden kann und als Befehlsgeber für die entsprechend ausgestaltete elektronische Schaltanordnung bzw. deren Dekodierungseinrichtung dient. Mit ihm können AUS/EIN-Signale und damit Impulse beliebiger Dauer eingegeben werden, welche die Dekodierungseinrichtung aufnimmt und in gewünschter Weise umsetzt. Der Befehl ist z.B. eine Impulsgruppe, die sich von einer anderen Impulsgruppe insbesondere durch die Anzahl und/oder Länge und/oder Reihenfolge ihrer einzelnen Impulse unterscheidet. Beispielsweise können die Befehle zur Auswahl der Funktion durch eine Anzahl kurzer Impulse und die Einstellbefehle der Unterfunktion durch längere Impulse gekennzeichnet sein.Starting from a water outlet fitting the introductory designated type, this object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1 solved. After that a switch is firmly attached to the fitting, which without can be operated by hand and as a command for the appropriately designed electronic Switching arrangement or its decoding device is used. With it can use OFF / ON signals and thus pulses of any duration can be entered, which is the decoding device records and implements in the desired manner. The command is e.g. an impulse group that differs from another Impulse group in particular by the number and / or length and / or the order of their individual impulses. For example, the commands to select the function through a number of short pulses and the setting commands of the Subfunction to be characterized by longer impulses.
Der Schalter ist im bevorzugten und einfachsten Fall ein Drucktaster, der an der Außenoberfläche der Armatur sitzt und ohne weiteres zugänglich ist. Er kann aber auch in der Armatur eingebaut und von einer wasserdichten Haut abgedeckt oder mittels eines Stifts oder eines anderen einfachen Werkzeugs betätigbar sein. Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, den Schalter als sogenannte Sensortaste auf kapazitiver Basis auszubilden. Schließlich kann, sofern mehrere Photowiderstände als Empfänger für den Normalbetrieb vorgesehen sind, oder durch Anordnung eines zusätzlichen "Eingabe-Empfängers", dieser Empfänger als Schalter verwendet werden, indem man ihn mit der Fingerkuppe vollständig abdeckt. Diese Beeinflussungsmöglichkeit der Schaltanordnung setzt allerdings voraus, daß durch eine Vergleichsmessung mit einem anderen Empfänger festgestellt wird, daß eine bestimmte Raumbeleuchtung vorhanden ist und die Abdunkelung des "Eingabe-Empfängers" nicht auf eine totale Verdunkelung des Betriebsraumes zurückzuführen ist.In the preferred and simplest case, the switch is on Push button that sits on the outside surface of the valve and is easily accessible. But he can also in the Fitting installed and covered by a waterproof skin or using a pen or other simple Tool can be actuated. It is also proposed that Switch as a so-called capacitive-based sensor button to train. Finally, if there are several Photo resistors as receivers for normal operation are provided, or by arranging an additional "Input receiver", this receiver is used as a switch be completely by using your fingertip covers. This possibility of influencing the switching arrangement assumes, however, that a comparison measurement with another recipient finds that a particular Room lighting is available and the darkening of the "Input recipient" does not indicate a total obscuration of the Operating room.
Es ist bekannt, automatische Wasserauslaufarmaturen der
beschriebenen Art mit einer optischen Anzeigeeinrichtung,
z.B. mit einer Leuchtdiode auszurüsten. Diese zeigt zum
Beispiel einen fortgeschrittenen Batterieverbrauch an. Wenn
nun per Eingabeschalter, wie beschrieben, die elektronische
Schaltanordnung auf eine andere Funktion umgestellt wird,
kann es von Vorteil sein, wenn die Bedienungsperson die
richtige Auswahl auch kontrollieren kann. Dazu wird
vorgeschlagen, daß eine optische Anzeigeeinrichtung
vorgesehen ist, welcher den mittels des Schalters
eingegebenen Einstellbefehl quittiert. Im einfachsten Fall
werden die Befehlsimpulse optisch begleitet. Es kann aber
auch nach Abschluß der Befehlseingabe von der Armatur ein
funktionstypisches Lichtsignal abgegeben werden. Schließlich
ist es möglich, durch regelmäßige Blinksignale die Betätigung
des Schalters zu erleichtern. Zum Beispiel könnte festgelegt
werden, daß zur Eingabe eines bestimmten Befehls der Schalter
so lange gedrückt bleibt, bis die Leuchtdiode 5mal
aufgeblinkt hat.It is known to have automatic water outlet fittings
described type with an optical display device,
e.g. to be equipped with a light emitting diode. This shows at
Example of advanced battery usage. If
now via the input switch, as described, the electronic
Switching arrangement is switched to another function,
it can be advantageous if the operator has the
correct selection can also control. This will
suggested that an optical display device
is provided, which by means of the switch
entered setting command acknowledged. In the simplest case
the command pulses are accompanied optically. But it can
even after completing the command input from the valve
function-typical light signal are given. Finally
it is possible to actuate by flashing regularly
to facilitate the switch. For example, could set
be that for entering a specific command the switch
remains pressed until the
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der einzigen Zeichnung erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is described below the only drawing explained.
Es ist eine Wasserauslaufarmatur 1 mit einem Perlator 2 an
der Auslauföffnung dargestellt. In einem Anbaugehäuse 3 ist
eine elektronische Schaltanordnung und die erforderliche
Batterie untergebracht. Sie trägt auch die Sende-Empfangs-Einheit
4, mit deren Hilfe das eingebaute Sperrventil
betätigt wird, wenn man die Hände unter den Auslauf hält bzw.
wieder entfernt. Ferner ist an dem Anbaugehäuse 3 ein
Drucktaster 5 angeordnet, durch dessen Betätigung wenigstens
einige der beispielhaft angegebenen folgenden Funktionen und
Unterfunktionen ausgewählt werden können:
Bei diesem beschriebenen Beispiel ist die
Rekodierungseinrichtung der Schaltanordnung so ausgebildet,
daß die einzelnen Funktionen durch die Anzahl kurzer
Schaltimpulse angewählt werden.Ein innerhalb dieser Funktion
vorzunehmender Einstellvorgang, beispielsweise des Abstands
der Sensorimpulse, erfolgt nach einer Pause durch länger
dauerndes Drücken des Drucktasters 5, wodurch die
Einstellgröße einen Zyklus vom kleinesten zum größten Wert
durchläuft. Der Einstellvorgang wird beendet durch Loslassen
des Drucktasters. Jeder folgende Eingabevorgang löscht
selbsttätig die vorhergehende Funktion.In this example described, the
Recoding device of the switching arrangement designed so
that the individual functions by the number of short
Switching impulses can be selected within this function
adjustment process to be carried out, for example the distance
the sensor impulses occur after a pause for longer
