Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower with a housing and a beam exit surface of the housing.
  • the jet exit surface has a plurality of outlet openings.
  • Such showers have long been known in many forms and have many functional possibilities.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an aforementioned shower with functional capabilities that are not yet known in the art and in particular allow a beneficial use.
  • a shower head which also has two chambers behind the jet disk, namely an inner chamber and an outer chamber.
  • the water in the inner chamber is vented through openings between the shower head and its attachment.
  • the aerated water enters the outer chamber through openings in the dividing wall.
  • the non-directional water flows ventilated from all the beam outlet openings (DE 3825537).
  • the shower contains a housing which is closed off to the user side by a jet disk.
  • This jet disc contains a plurality of jet outlets, which may be specially designed by certain arrangements.
  • the shower contains a flat large housing.
  • the ventilation device can be designed such that it introduces the air through the jet exit disk into the housing, for example directly in the middle in the preferably flat jet disk.
  • the showerhead according to the invention may further comprise a jet forming means for forming a plurality of individual water jets within the housing.
  • the individual water jets are therefore not formed when leaving the shower. In this way, it is possible to perform certain processes within the housing with the water jets.
  • the ventilation device may be formed in a development of the invention such that it aerates the water in front of the beam forming agent. Then, the jet-forming means serves to form a ventilated jet of individual aerated jets, which are then distributed within the showerhead, for example, to a surface having a large diameter relative to the water inlet, for example, a diameter of 10 to 20 times larger ,
  • the beam-forming means and / or the ventilation device is designed such that the individual beams already formed are ventilated jointly and / or separately. This makes it possible to not have to consider the subsequent ventilation in the formation of water jets.
  • the shower can have guiding means to guide the aerated water jets to the jet outlet openings of the entire jet disk, preferably evenly, but also unevenly as desired.
  • the guide means can be arranged at different points of the shower, for example in the distribution chamber, which is formed directly behind the jet disk.
  • the conducting means can also be arranged where the formed rays are aerated or the aerated rays are formed.
  • the conducting means and / or the ventilating device may be designed such that they produce a turbulence of the ventilated jets. This laid is successful, inter alia, is suitable to increase the residence time of the beams within the shower enclosure, in order to achieve in this way a longer and / or more intensive contact with him the shower enclosure existing facilities.
  • the ventilation device may be formed in a further development of the invention so that it generates an air flow that meets perpendicular to the flow of water, where they, as already mentioned, can meet already formed individual water jets.
  • the ventilation device such that it already generates individual air jets or air flows, which then already meet the water flow separately.
  • each air jet is assigned to a water jet, which it encounters. Complete or partial separation of air currents and water flows in the housing may be performed. It is thereby possible to ventilate the individual water jets different degrees or at a different location.
  • the jet-forming means may comprise, for example, a perforated disc which is arranged transversely to the water flow. Through each hole then a jet of water is generated.
  • These water jets can, as already mentioned, either be completely separated or else only partially separated so that different individual flow threads develop within a common water volume.
  • the ventilation device may comprise a central sleeve or hub, through whose interior the air passes from the outside into the interior of the housing.
  • the hub may, for example, have a smooth end surface, which forms with a corresponding mating surface a flat annular space through which the air flow is directed to the water.
  • this front end radial air ducts such as grooves, which lead to a separation of the air flow.
  • the end of the radial air ducts is aligned with the openings of the perforated disc.
  • the orientation may be such that the centerline of the grooves is toward the center of the apertures.
  • a tangential orientation is given, so that the center line of the grooves extends off-center to tangentially to the openings of the perforated disc.
  • the air ducts can run exactly radially or slightly obliquely.
  • the hub at the inner end of which the air flows substantially radially in a plane to the longitudinal axis, may also contain guides for the aerated jets on its outer circumferential surface, which lies in a cylindrical surface. These guides may be the grooves aligned with the holes in the perforated disc are. These guides serve to separate the aerated jets as they travel further within the showerhead, that is, to retard or hinder their reunification.
  • the grooves may extend primarily in the axial direction, but they may also be slightly oblique, for example in the manner of a coarse thread.
  • a deflection by a corresponding conical design of the outside of the hub can take place.
  • This deflection may also be gradual, for example, by the outer side of the hub transitioning into a radial plane in a curved shape.
  • This curved shape or the gradual transition or the deflection can also be done independently of the presence of axial water ducts.
  • the deflection means may also, depending on the desired purpose, have individual channels, which may then be straight linear, oblique or curved.
  • guide means may be arranged, which may be aligned with the direction of the deflection means. This is to achieve a good distribution of the aerated water jets over the entire surface of the jet disk.
  • the guide means may be present, for example, on the back of the housing or on an insert in the housing.
  • a showerhead in addition to a housing and a beam exit surface with outlet openings and a subdivision have in at least two areas a switching device.
  • the water supply can be switched between a first area and a second area.
  • a water access is provided in the shower, which ensures the supply of water into the shower.
  • An air supply device is provided for ventilation of the water jets emerging from the shower. By means of the air supply device, the water supply is ventilated, namely between water inlet and jet exit surface.
  • the air supply device can be activated and deactivated, so it can be switched.
  • the changeover device and the air supply device according to the invention are coupled to one another in such a way that upon actuation of the changeover device the air supply is switched from activated to deactivated or from deactivated to activated.
  • the air supply means changes its activation state when switching from the first to the second area.
  • a double function is given when the changeover device is actuated.
  • the direction of actuation could also be the other way round, ie when activating or deactivating the air supply device, a change from one area to the other.
  • the air supply device With a single operation, two functions are triggered. Above all, it is possible to combine the function of the air supply device with respect to activated or deactivated with the selection of the areas or to make it dependent.
  • the first region As a partial region of the beam exit surface, wherein it may be, for example, a central region.
  • the second beam area As the second area.
  • the air supply can be activated when the changeover device is placed on the second region or on the entire steel exit surface. This has the advantage that by the air supply or ventilation the water jets, a voluminous appearing water outlet can be created, which is just in the increased number of outlet openings in the case of a larger area of advantage.
  • the switching device is advantageous operable by hand.
  • a button or slider or the like can be pressed.
  • an entire and in particular larger housing part can be moved relative to another housing part or the rest of the housing.
  • the two areas or all areas can be connected via a distribution chamber with the water inlet for the water supply.
  • the distribution chamber can advantageously extend over the surface of all regions or the rear side of the jet exit surface. This ensures a good water supply for all areas and all the jet outlet openings of the jet outlet area.
  • the changeover device can be designed such that it is arranged in the distribution chamber and acts. When setting to the first area, it can limit the distribution chamber to the area corresponding to the first area. When switching to another area or the second area, the boundary of the distribution chamber is adapted to the area of this wider area. If the entire beam exit surface is changed over, the boundary of the distribution chamber can be removed, so that it extends over the entire beam exit surface.
  • the changeover device may have a closure, which may be particularly preferably designed to limit the distribution chamber.
  • a limitation of the distribution chamber is easily possible because the closure can be applied to the back of the beam exit surface.
  • this system is sealed.
  • Particularly advantageous is the limitation of the distribution chamber by a wall as a closure. The area within this wall advantageously forms the Part of the distribution chamber, which corresponds to the selected area of the beam exit surface.
  • a trained seal may be provided.
  • a lip seal is suitable. It may have an abutment direction on a seal seat which extends in the direction of the water pressure in the limited distribution chamber. Thus, a resulting water pressure in addition to the sealing effect.
  • One way to perform a beam exit surface is to choose an elastic material. This is, for example, an elastomer which may be rubbery. At such a jet disk back wall or a closure can be applied to achieve a sealing effect.
  • a previously mentioned seal can advantageously be integrally formed on the back of the jet disk in protruding form. So you can save a separate seal.
  • a water supply is advantageously carried out centrally in the shower, at least in the area just before the distribution chamber.
  • a central air supply to the shower or to the jet exit surface of advantage.
  • An air supply device can run through a central opening in the jet exit surface, ie from the front into the housing of the shower.
  • a channel can be provided, which can not only pass through the jet exit surface, but can even be connected to it or fixed in its area. Furthermore, it is possible to connect the changeover with the access of water or to attach it.
  • the jet exit surface are moved relative to the water inlet. In this case, a closer to the water inlet can close or open the channel for the air supply.
  • a wall of the changeover device would limit the distribution chamber.
  • the air supply through the front of the shower, through the beam exit surface pass through.
  • the air exits the duct of the air supply with a direction transverse to the water supply or the water inlet.
  • the Venturi effect air is sucked in and there is a turbulence of the water with the air.
  • the air can be distributed in the water supply.
  • the water supply in one embodiment of the invention, may have a plurality of openings which may be distributed annularly about a central axis.
  • the openings are advantageously elongated holes, among other things, to accelerate the individual water jets.
  • the air from the air supply can occur, for example by the aforementioned Venturi effect. So a good mixing of air and water is achievable.
  • turbulizers in the direction of the water flow behind the location of the air inlet.
  • this turbulence which may for example have the form of several stages, the mixture of water and entrained air hits and is even more swirled and mixed.
  • Such turbulizers are advantageously distributed around a central axis of the shower enclosure or around a duct for the supply of air.
  • they can be formed on the outer sides of the channel walls. This is especially useful when the channel for the Air supply is formed like a tube, where it may be attached to the front of the shower.
  • the turbulators can be designed to ensure the supply of water over the entire rear portion of the jet exit surface within the distribution chamber or to redirect the water supply and distribute.
  • an approximately uniform distribution of the water supply into the distribution chamber takes place.
  • the shower proposed by the invention can also be used as a side shower in particular.
  • the water jets reach a greater throwing distance, which has the advantage, in the case of a vertically arranged jet exit face, that the water jets strike a body standing at a certain distance over a large area and at the desired height. Since the air intake from the front side is done through the jet exit surface, the formation and arrangement of a side shower and its installation is not complicated or difficult compared to the known without adding air from coming overhead showers.
  • a shower 11 according to the invention is shown.
  • the showerhead 11 consists of a housing shell 12, which sits on a base 13 and is guided over this. By means of a lock nut 15, the shower head 11 is connected to a water connection 14 in a known ball head design.
  • the water connection 14 sits, for example, on a ceiling.
  • the housing shell 12 has approximately the shape of a tubular extension 17, which merges into the flat extension 18 downwards.
  • the base 13 is formed, which widens also with an extension 24 downwards.
  • the extension 24 of the base 13 has at the outer end a circumferential and downward annular shoulder 25. Its exact shape can be seen from Fig. 2. Down to goes the annular shoulder 25 in a narrow V-like profile over. In the position of FIG. 1, this serves the sealing effect. This will be discussed in more detail below.
  • the showerhead 11 has a front side 27, which is connected to the housing shell 12 in the outside area.
  • the front face 27 carries at its back the inserted jet disk 29.
  • the jet disk 29 is made in a known manner from an elastomer and has molded nozzles for the formation of the outlet openings 30. From Fig. 1 and in particular Fig. 2 it can be seen that the back 31 of the jet disk 29 is substantially planar. Only the circumferential sealing lip 32 is integrally formed on the back 31. It can rest on the inside of the annular shoulder 25, as can be seen from Fig. 1.
  • a water inlet 33 extends through the water connection 14 into the shower 11. From the ball head of the water connection 14 occurs the water through the openings 34, which are distributed around a central axis, in the upper part of the distribution chamber 36, which is located within the tube insert 17. As can be seen from Fig. 1, the water can reach due to the sealing concern of the expansion 24 with the adjacent annular shoulder 25 on the back 31 of the jet disk 29 lying only in this area outlet openings 30. Other river possibilities do not exist for the water. In particular, the outer area, ie area B without area A, is shut off.
  • the distribution chamber 36 is fully open and now comprises the area of the openings 34 of the water inlet 33 over the entire surface of the back of the jet disk 29. Thus, the water can escape through all the outlet openings 30 of the jet disk 29.

  • the air exiting from the upper opening of the air duct 38 passes approximately transversely to the water which shoots down through the openings 34 into the distribution chamber 36. Due to the Venturi effect, the incoming water entrains the air. At the same time, some mixing of water and air already begins.
  • Verwirbelungsabsatz 46 which is integrally formed in the lower region of the outer side of the air channel 38.
  • Verwirbelungsabsatzes 46 is here from the top impinging water to the side, ie in the lateral extent of the distribution chamber 36 into, deflected. But it is also achieved turbulence or mixing of the water-air mixture.
  • the Verwirbelungsabsatz is formed stepwise with multiple stages. The course of the steps can correspond to the bevel.
  • the course of the extension 24 of the base 13 is corresponding to the course of the extension 18 of the housing shell 12.
  • the gradation in the extension 18 serves to provide room for the extension 24 entering this step. Furthermore, it limits the outer annular region of the distribution chamber 36 such that the water supply to all outlet openings 30 in the position of FIG. 2, ie when water is supplied to the entire area of the jet disk 29, is approximately equal.
  • Fig. 2 it can be seen that it is possible under some circumstances, in addition to a more or less stage switching between the first area A and second area B and correspondingly between unventilated and ventilated, at least one of the function also adjustable to design. In particular, this offers the ventilation device.
  • the shape of the lower part of the closure 42 and the corresponding opening in the upper part of the air duct 38 may be formed such that over the entire displacement of the relative movement between housing shell 12 and base 13, a continuous opening of the air supply 40 via the air paths 44 takes place. This can be even greater than when opening the distribution chamber 36.
  • FIG. 3 shows a shower similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, but without a changeover device.
  • an insert plate 50 is arranged, which with the outlet openings 30 of the jet disk 29 has corresponding openings 51.
  • the insert plate is made of a harder plastic than the jet disk 29. It has, inter alia, the task of fixing the elastomer jet disk 29 on the front side 27 and on the bottom 52 of the housing. This is to prevent the beam angle of the individual jet outlet nipples from changing during operation or during assembly.
  • the insert plate 50 On its rear side, the insert plate 50 contains individual ribs 53, which serve to subdivide the space between the jet disk and the rear wall 52 of the housing. This subdivision is intended to guide and direct the individual aerated jets within the housing.

  • the opening 62 of the inlet has a significantly smaller diameter than the perforated disc 60.
  • the arranged in the perforated disc 60 circular holes 63 are arranged along the circumference. The water must therefore first be deflected out of the opening 62 before it reaches the openings 63.
  • FIG. 7 shows the embodiment of FIG. 3 on an enlarged scale.
  • the inner end of the ventilation hub 64 is formed by a flat end surface 65. This is located at a small distance in front of or behind the perforated disc 60.
  • the air sucked in through the central opening 40 of the ventilation hub 64 is directed as a very narrow, flat stream onto the already separated water jets. Due to the rapid flow of the water jets downstream of the holes 63 creates a Venturi effect, which sucks the air flow there.
  • the aerated jets then pass along the cylindrical outer surface 66 of the breather hub 64 to the root 67 of the hub, where the outer side widens conically at an angle of, for example, about 45 degrees.
  • This conical extension 67 rests on the insert plate 50, on which the water then flows radially in a plane further outward.
  • the angle of the deflection 68 may be between 10 and 80 degrees. It is also conceivable a gradual curved Crossing.

  • Each radial channel 70 merges into an axial channel 71.
  • further channels 72 are formed in the extension of the channels 70 and 71, whose depth, see Figure 10, decreases to the end of the deflection 68. In this way, at the end face 165 of the ventilation hub 164 is ensured that individual air jets occur, which then hit the water jets formed there through the holes 63.
  • Figures 13 and 14 show the corresponding representations in another ventilation hub, in which the channels 172 in the deflection 168 bent or curved run. This gives the aerated jets an oblique direction, which they maintain when leaving the ventilation hub. In this way, a turbulence of the ventilated jets is achieved within the distribution chamber of the showerhead.
  • the channels 171 are not rectilinear parallel to the axis, as in the embodiment of Figure 12, but obliquely to the axis. So they run in the manner of a steep thread. This initiates the generation of a twist of the ventilated jets earlier.
  • the ventilation hub 164 of FIG. 10 may be arranged, for example, such that the areas in the plane of the end face 165 between the channels 70 touch the perforated plate 60 on its underside. Then completely separate air jets are generated. However, it may also remain a certain distance, so that paths of preferred flow at the location of the channels 70 are generated.
  • the baffles on the basis of the ventilation hubs can also be continued in the distribution chamber.
  • the jet outlet openings can be arranged in a straight line extension of the projection of the channels 72, 172. Not all channels 72 and 172 need to have the same curvature or the same direction. It can be ensured that ventilated water jets, which are to be directed farther out in the distribution chamber, leave the foot of the ventilation hub in a more straight line, while the rays intended for the closer jet outlet openings are provided with greater turbulence.
  • FIGS. 3 to 14 show, for reasons of simplified illustration, no switching device for switching over between different areas of the beam exit surface. They also show no means for switching on and off the ventilation device.
  • the measures for the production and maintenance of individual ventilated jets are of course also possible and useful in showers in which such switching devices are available.
