Abstract

The invention relates to a jet outlet element for a sanitary fitting which allows outlet of a defined gushing jet from the sanitary fitting. The jet outlet element is configured as a flat element having two compartments, a water inlet compartment (10, 30) and a water outlet compartment (12, 32). A narrowed section (13, 33) is interposed between the two compartments and accommodates a flow rectifier (14, 34). Said flow rectifier rectifies the as yet non-directional flow of the water in the inlet compartment and guides it in a controlled manner to the outlet compartment from where it emerges through the slotted outlet opening.

Description

Beschreibung Strahlaustrittselement für Sanitärarmaturen Description Jet outlet element for sanitary fittings
Die Erfindung betrifft eine so genannte Schwallbrause für Sanitärarmatu¬ ren.The invention relates to a so-called surge shower for Sanitärarmatu¬ ren.
Schwallbrausen dienen dazu, einen geschlossenen frei fallenden breiten Wasserstrahl zu formen, der eine möglichst glatte Strömung bildet.Baffles serve to form a closed free-falling wide jet of water, which forms the smoothest possible flow.
Bei einer bekannten Schwallbrause dieser Art ist ein metallisches Ge¬ häuse vorhanden, das auf der einen Seite einen kreiszylindrischen Stut¬ zen für den Wassereinlass aufweist. Unmittelbar an den Anschlussstut¬ zen schließt sich der Übergang in das immer breiter und flacher wer- dende Gehäuse an. Das Gehäuse ist gegenüber dem Anschlussstutzen abgewinkelt. Im Übergang zwischen dem Anschlussstutzen und dem abgewinkelten Gehäuse sind Leiteinrichtungen vorhanden, die das ein¬ strömende Wasser umleiten (DE 26 19 415).In a known surge shower of this type, a metallic housing is present, which has a circular-cylindrical stub for the water inlet on one side. Immediately on the connecting piece, the transition into the increasingly wider and flatter housing closes. The housing is angled relative to the connection piece. In the transition between the connecting piece and the angled housing guide means are present which redirect the ein¬ flowing water (DE 26 19 415).
Ebenfalls bekannt ist eine Schwallbrause (DE 25 54 723), bei der die eine Begrenzungswand des ebenfalls vom Anschlussstutzen ausgehend breiter und flacher werdenden Gehäuses einen Knick aufweist.Also known is a surge shower (DE 25 54 723), in which the one boundary wall of the also starting from the connection stub wider and flattering housing has a kink.
Allen bekannten Schwallbrausen ist gemeinsam, dass sich das Innere des Gehäuses von dem Anschlussstutzen ausgehend allmählich in eine der schlitzartigen Austrittsöffnung ähnliche Form umwandelt. Außerdem sind die bekannten Schwallbrausen eigenständige Armaturen, die direkt an eine Hausinstallation angeschlossen werden.All known flood showers have in common that the interior of the housing, starting from the connecting piece, gradually converts into a shape similar to the slot-like outlet opening. In addition, the well-known water faucets are independent fittings that are connected directly to a domestic installation.
Es gibt Anwendungsfälle, in denen mit einer üblichen Sanitärarmatur Schwallstrahlen erzeugt werden sollen. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Möglichkeit zu schaf¬ fen, auch bei ungünstigen Platzverhältnissen oder Einbausituationen einen sauberen Schwallstrahl zu erzeugen.There are applications in which surge waves are to be generated with a conventional sanitary fitting. The invention is based on the object of providing a possibility to produce a clean surge jet even in unfavorable space conditions or installation situations.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung ein Strahlaustrittsele¬ ment mit den im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen vor. Dieses Strahl¬ austrittselement ist insbesondere als Teil einer Sanitärarmatur zur Er¬ zeugung eines Schwallstrahls gedacht.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a Strahlaustrittsele¬ ment with the features mentioned in claim 1. This jet outlet element is intended, in particular, as part of a sanitary fitting for generating a surge jet.
Das Strahlaustrittselement enthält also zwei Kammern, nämlich eine Einlasskammer, in die der Wassereinlass führt. Der Strahlaustritt erfolgt aus der Strahlaustrittskammer, wobei auch hier der Wasserauslass schlitzartig ausgebildet ist. Zwischen den beiden Kammern gibt es einen Strömungsgleichrichter, der dazu dient, die Strömung des in die Einlass- kammer gelangenden Wassers gleichzurichten und zu vereinheitlichen. Dadurch wird es möglich, den Einlass in die Einlasskammer unabhängig davon zu gestalten, ob dies für die Bildung eines Schwallstrahls beson¬ ders günstig ist. Dadurch hat der Entwerfer größere Freiheiten in der Konstruktion seiner Sanitärarmaturen, da er den Wassereinlass prak- tisch beliebig anordnen kann.The jet outlet element thus contains two chambers, namely an inlet chamber into which the water inlet leads. The jet outlet takes place from the jet outlet chamber, whereby here too the water outlet is slit-like. Between the two chambers there is a flow straightener which serves to rectify and unify the flow of water entering the inlet chamber. This makes it possible to design the inlet into the inlet chamber irrespective of whether this is particularly favorable for the formation of a surge jet. As a result, the designer has greater freedom in the design of his sanitary fittings, because he can arrange the water inlet practically any.
Erfindungsgemäß kann in Weiterbildung vorgesehen sein, dass die Ein¬ lasskammer des Strahlaustrittselements einen flachen etwa rechtecki¬ gen Querschnitt in Strömungsrichtung aufweist.According to the invention, it can be provided in a development that the inlet chamber of the jet outlet element has a flat approximately rectangular cross-section in the flow direction.
In nochmaliger Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass auch die Strahlaustrittskammer einen flachen rechteckigen Querschnitt in Strömungsrichtung aufweist. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, das ge¬ samte Strahlaustrittselement als flaches scheibenartiges Bauteil auszu- bilden, das sich in Sanitärarmaturen einsetzen lässt. Beide Kammern können etwa in der gleichen Ebene liegend angeordnet sein.In a further development of the invention it can be provided that also the jet outlet chamber has a flat rectangular cross section in the flow direction. In this way it is possible to form the entire jet outlet element as a flat disk-like component which can be used in sanitary fittings. Both chambers can be arranged lying approximately in the same plane.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Strahl- austrittskammer eine abnehmende Höhe aufweist.In development of the invention can be provided that the jet outlet chamber has a decreasing height.
Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung kann das Strahlaustritts¬ element zwischen der Einlasskammer und der Austrittskammer eine Engstelle aufweisen. Die Engstelle kann durch eine Verringerung der Höhe mindestens einer der beiden Kammern und/oder eine Verringe¬ rung der Breite mindestens einer Kammer gebildet sein.According to a further feature of the invention, the Strahlaustritts¬ element between the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber have a bottleneck. The constriction can be formed by a reduction in the height of at least one of the two chambers and / or a reduction in the width of at least one chamber.
Besonders günstig ist es, wenn der Strömungsgleichrichter im Bereich der Engstelle zwischen der Einlasskammer und der Austrittskammer an- geordnet ist.It is particularly favorable if the flow rectifier is arranged in the region of the constriction between the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber.
Um die gleichmäßige und auch optisch zufriedenstellende Schwallbil¬ dung weiter zu verbessern, kann erfindungsgemäß stromab des Strö¬ mungsgleichrichters eine Beruhigungzone für das strömende Wasser angeordnet werden. In dieser Beruhigungzone kann das zunächst gleichgerichtete strömende Wasser nochmals so beruhigt werden, dass eine optisch ansprechende Strömung erzielt wird.In order to further improve the even and optically satisfactory surge formation, according to the invention a calming zone for the flowing water can be arranged downstream of the flow rectifier. In this calming zone, the initially rectified flowing water can be soothed again that a visually appealing flow is achieved.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Beruhigungzone eine Vielzahl von Bremselementen aufweist, die die Wasserströmung ab¬ bremsen.In particular, it can be provided that the calming zone has a multiplicity of braking elements which brake the flow of water.
Die Bremselemente können sich, da ja die Kammer insgesamt flach ge¬ baut ist, zwischen dem Boden und der Decke der Strahlaustrittskammer erstrecken. Es kann sich beispielsweise bei den Bremselementen um im Querschnitt kreisrunde Zapfen handeln. Die Bremselemente können in mindestens einer Reihe angeordnet sein, wobei die Reihe quer zur Strömungsrichtung verläuft, also etwa parallel zur schlitzartigen Austrittsöffnung. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Bremselemente in mindestens zwei Reihen angeordnet sind, die ihrerseits wieder auf Lücke angeordnet sind. Das Wasser strömt also um die Bremselemente herum und trifft dann wieder auf ein Bremsele¬ ment, um das es wiederum herum strömt.Since the chamber as a whole is built flat, the braking elements can extend between the bottom and the ceiling of the jet outlet chamber. For example, the brake elements may be pins that are circular in cross-section. The brake elements may be arranged in at least one row, wherein the row is transverse to the flow direction, that is approximately parallel to the slot-like outlet opening. In particular, it can be provided that the brake elements are arranged in at least two rows, which are in turn arranged on gap. The water thus flows around the brake elements around and then meets again on a Bremsele¬ ment, around which it flows around again.
Um auch bei sehr breiten Wasserauslässen eine gleichmäßige Vertei- lung der Wasserströmung zu gewährleisten, kann in Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, dass stromab des Strömungsgleichrichters und/oder der Bremselemente ein Strahlformer angeordnet wird. Diese kann beispielsweise mehrere in Strömungsrichtung nebeneinander an¬ geordnete langgestreckte Strahlformelemente aufweisen, die die Was- serströmung in einzelne Bereiche aufteilen, ohne diese Bereiche von¬ einander zu trennen.In order to ensure a uniform distribution of the water flow even with very wide water outlets, it can be provided in a development of the invention that a jet former is arranged downstream of the flow rectifier and / or the brake elements. This can, for example, have a plurality of elongated beam shaping elements arranged side by side in the flow direction, which divide the water flow into individual regions without separating these regions from one another.
In nochmaliger Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Ränder des Wasserauslasses aus der Strahlaustrittkammer in einer Fläche liegen, die schräg zur Strömungsrichtung verläuft. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass die eine Begrenzungswand der Strahlaus¬ trittskammer, beispielsweise die Decke, im Bereich des Wasserauslas¬ ses unter einem Winkel zur Strömungsrichtung verläuft. Der unter einem Winkel angeordnete Verlauf dieser Begrenzungswand kann beispiels- weise abgerundet verlaufen, oder aber auch in mehreren Stufen abge¬ winkelt.In a further development of the invention it can be provided that the edges of the water outlet from the jet outlet chamber lie in a surface which runs obliquely to the flow direction. In particular, provision may be made for the one boundary wall of the jet outlet chamber, for example the ceiling, to extend at an angle to the flow direction in the region of the water outlet. The course of this boundary wall arranged at an angle can, for example, be rounded, or else angled in several stages.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass der obere Rand des Wasse¬ rauslasses verstellbar ausgebildet ist, beispielsweise verschwenkbar oder auch verschiebbar. Die Ränder des Wasserauslasses können auch mit weichen Lippen versehen werden, wobei als Material ein Elastomer, Gummi oder Silikon in Frage kommt. Erfindungsgemäß kann der Wassereinlass senkrecht zur Ebene der o- beren bzw. unteren Begrenzungswand der Einlasskammer erfolgen.In particular, it can be provided that the upper edge of the water outlet is adjustable, for example pivotable or displaceable. The edges of the water outlet can also be provided with soft lips, with the material being an elastomer, rubber or silicone in question. According to the invention, the water inlet can be perpendicular to the plane of the upper or lower boundary wall of the inlet chamber.

Durch verdrehen der Mutter erfolgt eine Befestigung der Armatur an der Platte. An der in Fi- gur 1 linken Seite ist ein Betätigungselement in Form eines Stabes 6 vorhanden, durch dessen Verschwenken der Wasserauslass aus der Armatur gesteuert wird. An der Oberseite des Armaturengehäuses 1 ist ein Auslaufgehäuse 5 angebracht, dass die Form einer flachen quader¬ förmigen Platte aufweist. Aus diesem Auslaufgehäuse 5 soll das Wasser beispielsweise aus der Zeichnungsebene nach vorn als Schwallstrahl austreten.The fitting of FIG. 1 contains a fitting housing 1, on the underside of which a pipe 3 provided with an external thread 2 is attached. Through the pipe lead lines 4 for the fitting. The tube 3 is inserted through an opening in a plate and provided from below with the nut shown. By twisting the nut attaching the valve to the plate. On the left in FIG. 1, an actuating element in the form of a rod 6 is provided, the pivoting of which controls the water outlet from the fitting. At the top of the fitting housing 1, an outlet housing 5 is attached, which has the shape of a flat cuboidal plate. For this outlet housing 5, the water should emerge, for example, from the plane of the drawing forward as a surge jet.
Die Armatur der Figur 2 weist ein etwas kompakteres Auslaufgehäuse 5 auf, an dessen Oberseite das als Stab ausgebildete Betätigungselement 6 angeordnet ist. Aus dem Auslaufgehäuse 5 soll aus einer gerade noch sichtbaren Auslauföffnung 7 das Wasser in Form eines Schwallstrahls austreten.The fitting of Figure 2 has a slightly more compact outlet housing 5, on the upper side of which is designed as a rod actuating element 6 is arranged. From the outlet housing 5 is to emerge from a just visible outlet opening 7, the water in the form of a surge jet.
Figur 3 zeigt ein Strahlaustrittselement, das zum Einbau in das Auslauf- gehäuse 5 der Sanitärarmatur nach Figur 1 bestimmt ist. Das Strahlaus¬ trittselement kann als zweiteiliges Gehäuse ausgebildet sein, wobei dann beispielsweise die Figur 1 die Aufsicht auf die Schnittebene zwi- sehen beiden Teilen des Gehäuses darstellt. Das Strahlaustrittselement enthält eine Einlasskammer 10, in die das auszugebende Wasser durch eine Öffnung 11 einströmt. Das Strahlaustrittselement enthält darüber hinaus eine Strahlaustrittskammer 12, aus der das Wasser durch eine Auslassöffnung 14 ins Freie austritt. Zwischen der Einlasskammer 10 und der Strahlaustrittskammer 12 ist eine Engstelle 13 ausgebildet. Die Engstelle 13 wird durch eine Verringerung der Breite des Strömungs¬ querschnitts gebildet. Unmittelbar vor der Engstelle 13 ist ein Strö¬ mungsgleichrichter 14 vorhanden. Dieser enthält mehrere nebeneinan- der angeordnete kurze Zwischenwände, deren Längsrichtung in Strö¬ mungsrichtung und parallel zueinander verläuft. Die Zwischenwände erstrecken sich zwischen dem Boden und der Decke der Einlasskammer 10.FIG. 3 shows a jet outlet element which is intended for installation in the outlet housing 5 of the sanitary fitting according to FIG. The jet outlet element can be designed as a two-part housing, in which case, for example, FIG. 1 shows the plan view of the sectional plane between see both parts of the case represents. The jet outlet element contains an inlet chamber 10, into which the water to be dispensed flows through an opening 11. In addition, the jet outlet element contains a jet outlet chamber 12 from which the water exits through an outlet opening 14 into the open air. Between the inlet chamber 10 and the jet outlet chamber 12, a constriction 13 is formed. The constriction 13 is formed by reducing the width of the Strömungs¬ cross-section. Immediately before the constriction 13, a flow rectifier 14 is present. This contains a plurality of intermediate walls arranged next to one another, the longitudinal direction of which extends in the direction of flow and parallel to one another. The intermediate walls extend between the bottom and the ceiling of the inlet chamber 10.
Stromab der Trennstelle 13 verbreitert sich der Strömungsquerschnitt wieder deutlich. An dieser Stelle ist eine Beruhigungzone ausgebildet, in der das zunächst gleichgerichtete Wasser in seiner Strömung beruhigt wird. Diese Beruhigungzone enthält zwei quer zur Strömungsrichtung verlaufende Reihen von Bremselementen 15. Bei den Bremselementen 15 handelt es sich um kleine runde Zapfen, die sich zwischen dem Bo¬ den und der Decke der Kammer erstrecken. Die Bremselemente 15 je¬ der Reihe sind äquidistant angeordnet. Die Bremselemente 15 einer Reihe stehen auf Lücke gegenüber den Bremselementen 15 der be¬ nachbarten Reihe.Downstream of the separation point 13, the flow cross section widened again significantly. At this point, a calming zone is formed, in which the initially rectified water is calmed in its flow. This calming zone contains two rows of brake elements 15 extending transversely to the flow direction. The brake elements 15 are small round pins which extend between the floor and the ceiling of the chamber. The braking elements 15 of each row are arranged equidistantly. The brake elements 15 of a row are in gap with respect to the brake elements 15 of the adjacent row be¬.
Stromab der Beruhigungzone, die durch die Bremselemente 15 gebildet wird, ist ein Strahlformer 16 ausgebildet, der das jetzt beruhigte Wasser in Stromfäden aufteilen soll. Der Strahlformer enthält mehrere Strahlfor¬ merelemente 17, die etwa tropfenförmig ausgebildet sind. Ihre Breite und ihr Abstand ist deutlich größer als die Breite und der Abstand zwi¬ schen den Bremselementen 15. Stromab des Strahlformers 16 verbreitert sich dann die Strahlaustritts¬ kammer 12 durch einen schrägen Verlauf ihrer Seitenwände, bis diese den Wasserauslass 14 erreichen.Downstream of the calming zone, which is formed by the braking elements 15, a jet former 16 is formed, which is intended to divide the now calmed water into stream threads. The beam former contains a plurality of beam forming elements 17, which are approximately drop-shaped. Their width and spacing is significantly greater than the width and the distance between the brake elements 15. Downstream of the beam former 16, the jet outlet chamber 12 widens by an oblique course of its side walls until they reach the water outlet 14.
Durch diese Hintereinanderschaltung zunächst des Strömungsgleich¬ richters 14, dann der Beruhigungzone und schließlich des Strahlformers wird dafür gesorgt, dass ein Schwallstrahl mit einem definierten Strahl¬ bild erzeugt werden kann.By means of this series connection of first the flow rectifier 14, then the calming zone and finally the beam former, it is ensured that a surge jet can be generated with a defined beam image.
Figur 4 zeigt einen teilweisen Querschnitt durch das Strahlaustrittsele¬ ment der Figur 4. Man kann hier sehen, dass stromab des Strahlformers 16 die Decke 20 der Austrittskammer 12 sich dem Boden 21 nähert, so dass hier der Abstand zwischen Boden und Decke verringert wird. Der eigentliche Wasserauslass 14 in Form einer schlitzförmigen Öffnung liegt in einer Fläche, die nicht senkrecht zu der Strömungsrichtung durch die Austrittskammer 12 verläuft. Vielmehr verläuft hier die Decke 20 der Strahlaustrittskammer in einer geschwungenen Kurve 22 gebogen, so dass der Strahl ebenfalls nach unten abgelenkt wird. Dabei wird von der Orientierung des Strahlaustrittselements ausgegangen, wie sie für die Sanitärarmatur der Figur 1 sinnvoll erscheint, wo der Begriff oben und unten durch die Anordnung der Armatur genau definiert ist.FIG. 4 shows a partial cross section through the jet outlet element of FIG. 4. It can be seen here that the ceiling 20 of the exit chamber 12 approaches the floor 21 downstream of the jet former 16, so that the distance between the floor and the ceiling is reduced. The actual water outlet 14 in the form of a slot-shaped opening lies in a surface which does not run perpendicular to the flow direction through the outlet chamber 12. Rather, here runs the ceiling 20 of the jet outlet chamber bent in a curved curve 22, so that the beam is also deflected downward. It is assumed that the orientation of the jet outlet element, as it makes sense for the sanitary fitting of Figure 1, where the term is defined precisely above and below by the arrangement of the valve.
Figur 5 zeigt nochmals einen Schnitt durch das Strahlaustrittselement, und zwar durch die Beruhigungzone mit den Bremselementen 15.FIG. 5 again shows a section through the jet outlet element, specifically through the calming zone with the brake elements 15.
Figur 6 zeigt nun eine der Figur 3 ähnliche Darstellung eines zweiten Strahlaustrittselements nach der Erfindung. Während das Strahlaus¬ trittselement der Figuren 3 bis 5 für die Armatur nach Figur 1 bestimmt ist, ist das Strahlaustrittselement nach den Figuren 6 und 7 für die Arma- tur nach Figur 2 gedacht. Auch dieses Strahlaustrittselement kann als aus Boden und Deckel bestehendes Element aufgebaut sein, so dass dann die Figur 6 die Draufsicht auf die Trennstelle darstellen würde. Die Figur 6 kann aber auch als Schnitt verstanden werden.FIG. 6 now shows a representation similar to FIG. 3 of a second jet outlet element according to the invention. While the jet outlet element of FIGS. 3 to 5 is intended for the fitting according to FIG. 1, the jet outlet element according to FIGS. 6 and 7 is intended for the armature according to FIG. This jet outlet element can also be constructed as an element consisting of base and cover, so that then Figure 6 would represent the top view of the separation point. However, FIG. 6 can also be understood as a section.
Das Strahlaustrittselement der Figur 6 enthält eine Strahleintrittskammer 30, in die das Wasser durch einen Wassereinlass 31 gelangt. Dieser ist nur teilweise dargestellt. Das Strahlaustrittselement enthält darüber hin¬ aus eine Strahlaustrittskammer 32, aus der das Wasser durch eine schlitzförmige Auslassöffnung ins Freie gelangen kann. Zwischen bei¬ den Kammern 30,32 ist eine Engstelle 33 vorhanden, die diesmal durch eine Verringerung der Höhe der Kammern gebildet ist, also durch eine Verringerung der Höhe des Strömungsquerschnitts. Dies kann man der Figur 7 besser entnehmen. In der Engstelle 33 ist ein Strömungsgleich¬ richter 34 angeordnet, der ähnlich wie der Strömungsgleichrichter 14 der Figur 3 als eine Reihe nebeneinander liegender Trennwände ausgebil- det ist.The jet outlet element of FIG. 6 contains a jet inlet chamber 30, into which the water passes through a water inlet 31. This is only partially shown. In addition, the jet outlet element contains a jet outlet chamber 32 from which the water can escape through a slot-shaped outlet opening. Between two chambers 30, 32 there is a constriction 33, which is formed this time by a reduction in the height of the chambers, that is, by a reduction in the height of the flow cross section. This can be better seen in FIG. In the constriction 33, a Strömungsgleich¬ judge 34 is arranged, which is similar to the flow rectifier 14 of Figure 3 as a series of adjacent partition walls is formed det.
Die obere Begrenzungswand der Strahlaustrittskammer 32 wird im Be¬ reich der Austrittsöffnung von einer Klappe 35 gebildet, die mit Hilfe zweier seitlicher Wellenstümpfe 36 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Die der Strahlaustrittskammer 32 zugewandte Fläche 36 der Klappe 35 ent¬ spricht dem bogenförmigen Verlauf 22 der Decke 20 der Strahlaustritts¬ kammer 12 bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 3 bis 5. Wie man der Figur 7 entnehmen kann, lässt sich diese Klappe 35 durch die Lagerung der Wellenstümpfe 36 verschwenken, um dadurch den Schwallstrahl einstellen zu können. Die den Wellenstümpfen 36 abgewandte Außen¬ kante der Klappe 35 steht über das Strahlaustrittselement etwas vor, so dass ein Benutzer dort anfassen und die Klappe verschwenken kann.The upper boundary wall of the jet outlet chamber 32 is formed in the region of the outlet opening by a flap 35, which is pivotably supported by means of two lateral stub shafts 36. The surface 36 of the flap 35 facing the jet outlet chamber 32 corresponds to the curved course 22 of the ceiling 20 of the jet outlet chamber 12 in the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 to 5. As can be seen from FIG. 7, this flap 35 can be replaced by the mounting the stub shafts 36 pivot to thereby adjust the surge jet can. The outer edge of the flap 35 facing away from the stub shafts 36 protrudes somewhat beyond the jet outlet element, so that a user can grip there and pivot the flap.
Wie man dem Schnitt der Figur 7 ebenfalls entnehmen kann, ist die obe- re Begrenzungswand 37 der Strahlaustrittskammer ebenfalls so ausge¬ bildet, dass sich hier der Abstand zwischen Boden und Decke 37 in Strömungsrichtung verringert. Der Einlass in das Strahlaustrittselement der Figur 6 und 7 geschieht aus einer Richtung quer zur Strömungsrichtung, siehe den Schnitt der Figur 7.As can also be deduced from the section of FIG. 7, the upper boundary wall 37 of the jet outlet chamber is likewise designed such that here the distance between the floor and the ceiling 37 is reduced in the flow direction. The inlet into the jet outlet element of FIGS. 6 and 7 takes place from a direction transverse to the flow direction, see the section of FIG. 7.
Während die Änderung der von dem Strahl getroffenen Oberkante des Wasserauslasses aus der Strahlaustrittskammer 32 bei der Ausfüh¬ rungsform nach Figur 6 und 7 durch eine Verschwenkung dieser Ober¬ kante mit Hilfe der Klappe 35 erfolgt, zeigt Figur 8 eine Möglichkeit, wie eine Änderung der Lage dieser Kante durch eine Verschiebung einer Blende 40 erfolgen kann. Diese Blende 40 ist im Bereich des Wasse¬ rauslasses aus der Strahlaustrittskammer 32 quer zur Strahlaustrittsrich¬ tung verschiebbar angeordnet. Die Verschiebung kann in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 41 erfolgen. Die untere Stirnkante 42 der Blende 40 ist schräg ausgebildet, so dass dann, wenn die Blende 40 in den Bereich des austretenden Strahls verschoben wird, auch dort eine Abwinklung der entsprechenden Begrenzungswand der Strahlaustrittskammer 32 gegeben ist. While the change in the upper edge of the water outlet from the jet outlet chamber 32 made by the jet takes place in the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 and 7 by pivoting of this upper edge by means of the flap 35, FIG. 8 shows a possibility such as a change in position This edge can be done by a displacement of a diaphragm 40. This orifice 40 is arranged displaceably in the region of the water outlet from the jet outlet chamber 32 transversely to the jet exit direction. The displacement can take place in the direction of the double arrow 41. The lower end edge 42 of the aperture 40 is formed obliquely, so that when the aperture 40 is moved in the region of the outgoing beam, there is also an angling of the corresponding boundary wall of the jet outlet chamber 32.
