Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water tap a water outlet opening and at least one electrical one Device for contactless regulation and / or control of the water outlet, the device at least one Sensor, in particular transmitter and / or a receiver as well has at least one valve element, and one Device for regulating and / or controlling the Water outlet of a water tap.
  • Such water fittings or facilities are in manifold shape and design known on the market and available. They essentially serve to regulate and Controlling a water outlet, using at least one Valve element, preferably a solenoid valve.
  • DE 195 08 644 A1 Water outlet fitting described that a transmitter and a receiver and an electronic switching arrangement which is costly in one Water outlet fitting are used. Stations protrude and receiver from the tap.
  • DE 298 00 536 U1 discloses a solenoid valve, especially for sanitary fittings, which in one outer surface has a cutout to optoelectronic Sensor elements in the form of transmitters and To provide receivers.
  • the solenoid valve sits in one Base area of a water tap. About a window-like Opening in the base of the water tap can transmitters and Detect certain areas of the receiver.
  • the solenoid valve can release or block a flow.
  • Faucets are used very slowly because of this very special constructions as well as a very often have their own design and possibly the Housing the electronics in fittings as these too are large, is not possible.
  • the sensor system is often used for monitoring Area too restricted, which is also undesirable is.
  • a water jet following or surrounding surveillance area is also undesirable.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object based, a water tap and a facility for To create water fittings which these called Eliminate disadvantages, and with which in very simple, inexpensive and effective way also conventional Fittings using sensors and valve controls are hygienically comfortable and water-saving to operate.
  • the connector preferably has a filter, in particular a fine particle filter, the prevents fine particles from entering the water flow Device or penetrate into the valve element and intended functions, the closing of the water flow, affect.
  • the connector which is firmer Part of the facility or as an adapter can be designed, the device on a Subsequent water outlet opening of the water fitting adapted or screwed on by previously conventional aerator is removed or unscrewed.
  • the invention is also suitable to be redesigned Faucets in a very simple and elegant way to realize contactless working mode.
  • the device can preferably be flowed through with water, whereby via the valve element, which by means of a Control and an energy storage device can be driven via corresponding signals from a sensor or a transmitter and / or receiver a flow of the water fitting opens or prevents.
  • a valve element which by means of a Control and an energy storage device can be driven via corresponding signals from a sensor or a transmitter and / or receiver a flow of the water fitting opens or prevents.
  • the corresponding sensor or the sensor system can be an active infrared sensor be, for example, with sensors near and / or Remote button and a receiver can be equipped preferably the sensors down into that Sink in front of the jet between a aerator and a housing of the device on the end face and radially are arranged.
  • the sensor can be an additional transmitter contained in the visible spectral range, the state of the entire facility with flashing or information about that other signals can display.
  • the control can be very small using microcontrollers Carry out evaluation of the sensor signal and accordingly the control of the valve element, in particular the Make solenoid valves.
  • bistable solenoid valves can be used, for example, as Axial cauldrons are designed to be extremely Realize low energy consumption per switching operation.
  • A can preferably be between the valve element and the housing Energy storage element may be provided, which the appropriate energy to operate the controller, the Sensor and the solenoid valve supplies.
  • an outer surface of the housing at least partially be designed as an energy source, for example by Photocells or the like the appropriate energy for deliver the rechargeable energy storage.
  • a device R 1 according to the invention in particular an electrical device R 1 for regulating and / or controlling a watercourse, has a housing 1, a connection piece 3 protruding into the front of a first end face 2.1 or projecting from the housing 1.
  • the connector 3 is hollow on the inside and provided with an external thread, not shown here, and optionally a subsequent hexagon or the like.
  • the connection piece 3 is used to screw the device R 1 into any water outlet opening 4 (see FIG. 4) of any water fitting 5.
  • valve element 6 is preferably a electrically operated and controllable solenoid valve, which has a flow rate as shown in Flow direction x is indicated, allows or limited.
  • the aerator 7 and / or Valve element 6 and the housing 1 in the front Front 2.2 of the at least one sensor 8 is used.
  • This can consist of at least one transmitter and / or at least a receiver 11 exist.
  • a device R 2 which essentially corresponds to that according to FIG. 1.
  • the energy store 10 which is preferably designed as a rechargeable accumulator, can be supplied with energy
  • a lateral surface 12 of the housing 1 is at least partially covered with photocells 13, so that an external energy source 14 is formed, which comprises the valve element 6, the sensor 8 and the controller 9 but in particular permanently supply the energy store 10 with energy.
  • the energy store 10 can be made much smaller, more cost-effective, as a result of which the device R 2 can be used or operated almost without limitation, in terms of time.
  • a device R 3 which essentially corresponds to the type described above.
  • an energy source 14 is also inserted as a generator 15 in the housing 1 upstream and / or downstream of the valve element 6.
  • the generator 15 is preferably located between the connector 3 and the valve element 6. However, this can also be inserted downstream of the connector 3 or the valve element 6 in the housing 1.
  • the present invention is not restricted to this.
  • the generator 15 is preferably designed as a water-jet driven turbine and, with a corresponding flow of water, supplies energy by driving, for example, a turbine (not shown here), in particular in order to supply or charge the energy store 10 with energy.
  • energy can also be supplied via the control system 9 directly to the valve element 6 or the sensor 8.
  • the present invention is not restricted to this.
  • the devices R 1 to R 3 described above can subsequently be connected to any water fitting 5 in a detachable manner. It is only necessary to the conventional aerator of a water tap 5 in the region of the water outlet 4 to remove, and then subsequently set up the inventive device R 1 to R 3 by means of the connecting piece 3 again releasably attached to the water outlet 4 of the water valve 5 and to be screwed.
  • the control element 9 is the valve element 6 switched to a certain and a flow rate to ensure adjustable time.
  • the device R 1 to R 3 at least partially in the area of the water outlet opening 4 in the water fitting 5 or in the area of the water outlet opening 4 Insert device R 1 to R 3 completely into it, so that the aerator 7 only protrudes completely, finally, or at least partially from the water fitting 5 in a known manner.
  • the at least one sensor 8 also projects upward or downward from the end face 2.2 of the housing 1 of the device R 1 to R 3 and ensures that a user is recognized in order to switch the solenoid valve 6 to flow.
  • Conventional water fittings 5 can be retrofitted with a corresponding device R 1 to R 3 according to the invention, or newly designed water fittings can be shaped very simply and elegantly as electrical fittings.
