    • Die Figur 1 zeigt die Betätigungsvorrichtung 10, die wie ersichtlich eine Einheit bildet, die auf ein an sich bekanntes Ablaufventil 6 aufgesetzt, vorzugweise aufgerastet ist. Das Ablaufventil 6 ist gemäss Figur 3 am Boden eines Spülkastens 35 befestigt und besitzt einen Schwimmer 33, in dem ein rohrförmiger Ventilkörper 20 gelagert ist. Am unteren Ende des Ventilkörpers 20 befindet sich ein Ventilteller 34, der dicht auf einem Ventilsitz 37 aufliegt. Zur Auslösung einer Spülung wird der Ventilkörper 20 nach oben angehoben.Figure 1 shows the actuator 10, which like evidently forms a unit that is based on what is known per se Drain valve 6 attached, preferably snapped on is. The drain valve 6 is according to Figure 3 at the bottom of a Cistern 35 attached and has a float 33, in which a tubular valve body 20 is mounted. At the bottom At the end of the valve body 20 there is a valve disk 34, which rests tightly on a valve seat 37. to Triggering of a flush is the valve body 20 upwards raised.

    Zum Anheben des Ventilkörpers 20 ist die Einheit 10 mit einem Führungsgehäuse 3 versehen, das am Gehäuse 18 des Ablaufventils 6 abgestützt ist. In diesem Führungsgehäuse 3, befinden sich zwei pneumatische Heber 1 und 2, die jeweils mit einer pneumatischen Membran 7 bzw. 8 versehen sind. Diese als Faltenbalg ausgebildeten Membrane 7 und 8 sind jeweils mit einer Anschlussleitung 16 bzw. 17 mit einem pneumatischen Geber 32 bzw. 31 verbunden, wie die Figur 2 schematisch zeigt. Die Anschlussleitung 17 ist mit dem Geber 31 und die Anschlussleitung 16 mit dem Geber 32 verbunden. Diese beiden Geber 31 und 32 sind in einem Gehäuse 30 untergebracht, in dem eine kleine Taste 28 sowie eine grosse Taste 29 gelagert sind. Wird die Taste 28 in Figur 2 nach unten bewegt, so wird der aus einem gummielastischen Material bestehende Geber 31 in seinem Volumen durch Verformung verkleinert und entsprechend wird durch die Leitung 17 Luft in eine Kammer 14 des Hebers 2 eingeleitet. Eine entsprechende Bewegung der Taste 29 bewirkt das Einleiten von Luft durch die Anschlussleitung 16 in die Kammer 15 des Hebers 1. Die Tastenanordnung 27 ist so montiert, dass sie gut sichtbar ist und die Tasten 28 und 29 von Hand betätigbar sind. Möglich ist an sich auch eine Fussbetätigung. Die unterschiedlichen Grössen der Tasten 28 und 29 machen augenfällig, welche Taste für eine Teilspülung und welche für eine Vollspülung vorgesehen ist.To lift the valve body 20, the unit 10 is equipped with a Guide housing 3 provided on the housing 18 of the drain valve 6 is supported. In this guide housing 3, there are two pneumatic jacks 1 and 2, each are provided with a pneumatic membrane 7 or 8. These are formed as bellows membranes 7 and 8 each with a connecting line 16 or 17 with a pneumatic encoder 32 or 31 connected, as in FIG. 2 schematically shows. The connecting line 17 is connected to the encoder 31 and the connecting line 16 connected to the encoder 32. These two sensors 31 and 32 are in a housing 30 housed in which a small button 28 and a large one Key 29 are stored. If the key 28 in FIG. 2 moved down, it becomes a rubber elastic Material existing transducer 31 in its volume by deformation downsized and accordingly the line 17 air is introduced into a chamber 14 of the jack 2. A appropriate movement of the key 29 causes the initiation of air through the connecting line 16 into the chamber 15 of the Hebers 1. The key assembly 27 is mounted so that it is clearly visible and the buttons 28 and 29 can be operated by hand are. Actuating by foot is also possible. The different sizes of the keys 28 and 29 make it obvious which button for a partial rinse and which for a full flush is provided.

    Zwischen den Membranen 7 und 8 befindet sich ein Mitnehmer 5, der hier nicht sichtbar aus dem Führungsgehäuse 3 herausgeführt ist und der mit einem Gewichtskörper 26 verbunden ist. Dieser Gewichtskörper 26 besitzt eine oben offene Kammer 26a zur Aufnahme von Wasser. Beim Anheben des Mitnehmers 5 wird somit gleichzeitig der Gewichtskörper angehoben. Der Mitnehmer 5 ist wie ersichtlich am Führungsgehäuse 3 abgestellt. Am Gewichtskörper 26, der ein Zusatzgewicht für den Ventilkörper 20 bildet, ist unten ein Hebel 25 angelenkt, der in seiner Funktion bereits aus der EP 0 722 020 bekannt ist. Als zusätzliche Offenbarung wird auf diese Schrift verwiesen. Der Hebel 25 ragt mit einem unteren Ende 25a in das Gehäuse 18 hinein und wird beim Anheben des Gewichtskörpers 26 verschwenkt, derart, dass der Hebel 25 mit seinem unteren Ende 25a auf einer Schulter 36 des Ventilkörpers 20 aufliegt und damit den Gewichtskörper 26 auf dem Ventilkörper 20 abstützt.There is a driver between the membranes 7 and 8 5, which is not visible here from the guide housing 3 and which is connected to a weight body 26 is. This weight body 26 has an open top Chamber 26a for receiving water. When lifting the driver 5 the weight body is thus lifted at the same time. The driver 5 is, as can be seen, on the guide housing 3 turned off. On the weight body 26, the additional weight forms for the valve body 20 is a lever below 25 articulated, which in its function already comes from the EP 0 722 020 is known. As an additional revelation referred to this document. The lever 25 projects with one lower end 25a into the housing 18 and is when lifting of the weight body 26 pivoted such that the Lever 25 with its lower end 25a on a shoulder 36 of the valve body 20 rests and thus the weight body 26 is supported on the valve body 20.

    Der Heber 1 ist mit einem weiteren Mitnehmer 4 versehen, der auf dem anderen Mitnehmer 5 in Ruhestellung abgestellt ist. Der Mitnehmer 4 weist eine durchgehende Öffnung 19 auf, in welche der Ventilkörper 20 von unten eingesetzt ist. Ein umlaufender vorstehender Rand 20a des Ventilkörpers 20 ist von einer Rastnase 21 untergriffen. Beim Anheben des Mitnehmers 4 wird somit gleichzeitig auch der Ventilkörper 20 mitangehoben. Die Rastnase 21 ist radial auslenkbar. Die Einheit 10 kann deshalb beim Montieren von oben auf den Ventilkörper 20 aufgesetzt werden, wobei dann selbsttätig der Rand 20a bei der Nase 21 einrastet. Der Mitnehmer 4 ist mit einem Anschlussteil 12 verbunden, wobei zwischen diesen Teilen 4 und 12 ein Rand 11 der Membran 7 abdichtend festgeklemmt ist. Ähnlich ist die Membran 8 abgedichtet. Diese besitzt einen Rand 9, der zwischen einem weiteren Anschlussteil 13 und dem Führungsgehäuse 3 festgeklemmt ist. Die beiden Anschlussteile 12 und 13 sind jeweils mit einem Anschlussmittel 23 bzw. 24 für den Anschluss der Leitungen 16 und 17 versehen. Bei einer Betätigung des Hebers 1 wird der Mitnehmer 4 und damit der Ventilkörper 20 angehoben. Der andere Mitnehmer 5 bleibt hierbei in seiner Ruhestellung.The lifter 1 is provided with a further driver 4, which is parked on the other driver 5 in the rest position is. The driver 4 has a continuous opening 19 in which the valve body 20 is inserted from below is. A circumferential projecting edge 20a of the valve body 20 is gripped by a latch 21. When lifting the driver 4 thus also becomes the valve body 20 lifted. The locking lug 21 can be deflected radially. The unit 10 can therefore when mounting be placed on top of the valve body 20, then the edge 20a automatically engages with the nose 21. The Driver 4 is connected to a connecting part 12, wherein an edge 11 of the membrane 7 between these parts 4 and 12 is tightly clamped. The membrane 8 is sealed in a similar manner. This has an edge 9 which is between one further connector 13 and the guide housing 3 clamped is. The two connecting parts 12 and 13 are each with a connection means 23 or 24 for the connection the lines 16 and 17 provided. When actuated the lifter 1 becomes the driver 4 and thus the valve body 20 raised. The other driver 5 remains here in its rest position.

    Anschliessend wird die Funktionsweise der Betätigungsvorrichtung anhand der Figuren 3 bis 5 näher erläutert. In Figur 3 ist die Betätigungsvorrichtung 10 in Ruhestellung und damit das Ablaufventil 6 geschlossen. Der Spülkasten 35 ist mit Spülwasser gefüllt und zu einer Spülung bereit.Then the operation of the actuator explained with reference to Figures 3 to 5. In figure 3 is the actuating device 10 in the rest position and so that the drain valve 6 is closed. The cistern 35 is filled with rinsing water and ready for rinsing.

    Ist eine Teilspülung vorgesehen, so wird die kleine Taste 28 in Figur 2 nach unten bewegt. Dadurch wird der Heber 2 mit Luft gefüllt und der Mitnehmer 4 und auch der Mitnehmer 5 angehoben. Da somit beide Mitnehmer 4 und 5 angehoben werden, werden auch das Zusatzgewicht 26 sowie der Ventilkörper 20 um den entsprechenden Hub nach oben bewegt. Die Figur 4 zeigt die Betätigungsvorrichtung 10 und das Ablaufventil 6 nach dem Auslösen einer Teilspülung. Wie ersichtlich, ist der Hebel 25 nach innen verschwenkt und liegt auf der Schulter 36 auf. Der Ventilteller 34 ist vom Ventilsitz 37 abgehoben und das Spülwasser kann durch hier nicht gezeigte seitliche Fenster des Gehäuses 18 aus dem Spülkasten 35 ausfliessen. Der angehobene Ventilkörper 20 ist durch den Gewichtskörper 26 zusätzlich belastet. Dies hat zur Folge, dass der Ventilkörper 20 noch vor der vollständigen Entleerung des Spülkastens 35 nach unten in die Schliessstellung fällt. Das Ablaufventil 6 schliesst somit nach der Entleerung einer vorbestimmten Teilmenge. Diese Teilmenge beträgt beispielsweise 6 Liter. Nach jeder Betätigung der Taste 28 wird somit eine Teilspülung mit einer vorbestimmten Menge an Spülwasser ausgelöst. Beim Senken des Ventilkörpers 20 geht der Heber 2 wieder in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Grundstellung zurück, wobei Luft aus der Membran 8 durch die Leitung 17 in den Geber 31 verdrängt wird. Hierbei wird der Geber 31 wieder ausgebeugt und geht in die in Figur 2 gezeigte Stellung zurück.If a partial rinse is provided, the small button is pressed 28 moved down in Figure 2. This will raise the lifter 2 filled with air and the driver 4 and also the driver 5 raised. Since both carriers 4 and 5 are thus raised the additional weight 26 and the valve body 20 moved up by the corresponding stroke. The Figure 4 shows the actuator 10 and the drain valve 6 after triggering a partial rinse. As can be seen the lever 25 is pivoted inwards and lies on the shoulder 36 on. The valve plate 34 is from the valve seat 37 lifted off and the rinse water can by not shown here side windows of the housing 18 from the cistern 35 flow out. The raised valve body 20 is through additionally loaded the weight body 26. This has to Consequence that the valve body 20 before the complete Emptying the cistern 35 down into the closed position falls. The drain valve 6 thus closes after Emptying a predetermined subset. This subset is, for example, 6 liters. After each actuation of the Key 28 is thus a partial rinse with a predetermined Amount of rinse water triggered. When lowering the valve body 20, the lifter 2 returns to that shown in FIG Home position back, with air from the membrane 8th is displaced by the line 17 into the transmitter 31. in this connection the encoder 31 is bent out again and goes into the Figure 2 shown position back.

    Bei einer Vollspülung wird die Taste 29 betätigt. Hierbei wird der Geber 32 eingebeult und die verdränge Luft gelangt durch die Anschlussleitung 16 in die Membran 7 des Hebers 1. Dadurch wird der Mitnehmer 4 und mit diesem der Ventilkörper 20 angehoben. Die Figur 5 zeigt das Ablaufventil 6 und die Betätigungsvorrichtung 10 nach dem Anheben des Ventilkörpers 20. Das Ablaufventil 6 ist nun geöffnet und die Spülung eingeleitet. Der Ventilkörper 20 ist durch den Gewichtskörper 26 nicht belastet, da dieser weiterhin auf dem Gehäuse 18 des Ablaufventils 6 aufliegt. Der Ventilkörper 20 wird durch den Schwimmer 33 in Schwebe gehalten, bis die Vollspülung beendet ist. Beim Zurückfallen des Ventilkörpers 20 wird der Heber 1 in die in Figur 3 gezeigte Stellung gebracht und entsprechend wird der Geber 32 ausgebeult und die Taste 29 in die Ruhestellung zurückgeführt.In the case of a full flush, the key 29 is actuated. in this connection the encoder 32 is dented and the displaced air arrives through the connecting line 16 into the membrane 7 of the jack 1. This makes the driver 4 and with it the Valve body 20 raised. Figure 5 shows the drain valve 6 and the actuator 10 after lifting of the valve body 20. The drain valve 6 is now open and initiated the flush. The valve body 20 is through the weight body 26 is not loaded, since this continues rests on the housing 18 of the drain valve 6. The valve body 20 is suspended by the float 33, until the full rinse is finished. When the The valve body 20 is the lifter 1 in that shown in Figure 3 Positioned and the encoder 32 accordingly bulged and the key 29 returned to the rest position.
