Definitions

  • the invention relates to a jet regulator with a jet disintegrating device which divides the incoming water flow into a plurality of individual jets.
  • jet regulator which has a designed as a perforated plate jet disintegrating device.
  • This jet disintegrating device of the prior art jet regulator divides the incoming water flow into a plurality of individual jets.
  • the individual jets formed in the jet disintegrating device meet on the outflow side to a plurality of metal sieves of a homogenizing device connected downstream of one another, which is intended to reshape the individual jets into a homogeneous, pearly-soft overall jet.
  • a ventilated jet regulator with a jet disintegrating device which divides the incoming water flow into a plurality of individual radiation.
  • the jet disintegrating device is oriented such that the individual jets impinge on a respective intersection of intersecting bars of a downstream grid network.
  • To ventilate the individual jets several ventilation openings are provided at the housing periphery of the jet regulator housing. Through the ventilation openings, the air required for aerating the water jet can be sucked.
  • the air intake and thus the proper functioning of the prior art jet regulator is affected by the flowing swirling stream of water.
  • a self-cleaning jet regulator which has in its jet regulator housing a jet breaker, which divides the incoming water flow into a plurality of individual jets.
  • the jet fragmentation device of the previously known jet regulator has a central cleaning opening, which can be closed by means of a valve body.
  • This valve body is movable against the restoring force of a compression spring under the pressure of the inflowing water from an open position to a closed position. While the jet breaker device fulfills its intended function in the closed position of the valve body, the dirt particles entrained in the water and accumulated in the area of the jet breaker device can escape through the central cleaning opening when the valve body is unloaded and in its open position.
  • the jet fragmentation device is followed by a homogenizer, which is intended to form the individual beams generated in the jet fragmentation device again into a homogeneous overall beam and to this has a plurality of superimposed layers of a metal mesh.
  • a homogenizer On this serving as a homogenizer metal braid, the compression spring is supported, which acts on the valve body with its opposite end of the spring.
  • the metal mesh is secured on the valve body side facing by means of a split ring, which is supported on the inflow side of a provided on the inner circumference of the jet regulator housing annular bead.
  • This annular bead is intended only to fix the split ring in its position, which spline ring secures the layers of the metal mesh arranged downstream.
  • the in US-A-4,313,564 provided annular bead is therefore provided at a long distance below the ventilation openings.
  • At least one of the individual jets formed in the jet disintegrating device strikes a node of intersecting bars of a grid network connected downstream. Since at least some of the individual beams coming from the beam splitter impact on a node formed by intersecting grids, in each case a further multi-axial beam splitting of each individual beam takes place.
  • the nodes are each designed as an inflow-side depression of the preferably plate-shaped grid, there is a further, secondary decomposition of the individual beams.
  • the individual beams are not only divided in the axial direction, but rather an additional radial separation of the individual beams takes place at the axial walls of the jet regulator according to the invention which delimit the depressions.
  • the decomposition of the individual beams is further promoted in this area, with an undesirable excessive turbulence of the incident on the nodes individual beams is avoided.
  • the jet regulator can also be used as ventilated aerator may be configured which has at the housing periphery of its jet regulator housing a plurality of circumferentially distributed ventilation openings and at its housing inner periphery in the flow direction below the ventilation openings a Abweisvorsprung to keep the jet of water from the ventilation openings, which Abweisvorsprung on the outer edge of the grid designed as a separate component on the inner circumference ring circulates.
  • ventilation holes required for aerating the water jet air can be sucked.
  • a deflecting projection is provided on the housing inner circumference of the jet regulator according to the invention in the flow direction directly below the ventilation openings, which on the outer edge of the grid designed as a separate component on the inner circumference annularly rotates. This deflecting projection keeps the swirling water jet flowing through the housing interior of the jet regulator away from the ventilation openings.
  • the grid is designed plate-shaped.
  • the grids are rounded or chamfered on the inflow side, at least in the region of some of their nodes, in certain regions along the longitudinal edge. Since, in this embodiment, the bars are rounded or chamfered on both sides along the inflow side, at least in the area of their nodal points, excessive swirling of the individual jets is avoided and the formation of a homogeneous, pearly-soft jet of water is improved.
  • a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the grid bars are chamfered saddle-roof-shaped on the inflow side in the region of their nodes.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the inflow-side depressions of the grid network are configured as hollow cylindrical.
  • the Abweisvorsprung designed flange and in particular its water flow facing or facing away from flat sides may be arranged in approximately parallel cross-sectional planes.
  • the deflecting projection has a deflection slope widening in the flow direction on its side facing away from the ventilation opening in the direction of flow. Due to the deflection slope widening in the direction of flow, a water jet swirled in the interior of the housing is guided away from the ventilation openings provided on the housing circumference to the housing longitudinal axis.
  • the grid is used as a separate component in the housing.
  • the jet regulator can optionally be provided with or without the grid according to the invention.
  • the modular design of the jet regulator according to the invention is favors when the grid at least one further, usable in the housing component of a homogenizer and / or a flow rectifier is connected downstream.
  • a jet regulator 1 which has a designed as a perforated plate 2 jet disintegrating device, which divides the inflowing water flow into a plurality of individual jets. From the Fig.1 and 5 It is clear that the individual beams formed in the beam splitting device 2 impact on a respective intersection 3 of intersecting bars 4, 5 of a downstream grid network 6.
  • the bars 4 are designed as radial webs and the bars 5 as concentric ring walls. In the area of the nodes 3, a further multiaxial decomposition of the incoming individual beams takes place.
  • the bars 4, 5 are bevelled in the region of their nodes 3 on both sides along the longitudinal edge side.
  • the bars 4, 5 are chamfered saddle-roof-shaped in the region of their nodal points 3 on the inflow side. Since the bars 4, 5 are chamfered or rounded in this area, an excessive undesired turbulence of the individual beams coming from the jet disintegrating device 2 is avoided and the formation of a homogeneous, sparkling-soft overall jet in the jet regulators 1 is favored.
  • the nodes 3 each as inflow-side depression of the preferably plate-shaped grid 6 are configured.
  • the inflow-side depressions of the mesh 6 are formed as a hollow cylinder. Since the nodes 3 are designed as depressions of the plate-shaped mesh 6, these depressions are bounded by the adjacent bars 4, 5.
  • nodes 3 is a further secondary decomposition of the incoming from the perforated plate 2 individual beams, since the divided at the junction along the saddle roof lines water jet meets at the end of the depression on the approximately perpendicular to the gable roof line and the depression bounding wall. As a result, the beam is again decomposed and decelerated. Therefore, the jet regulator 1 shown here is characterized by a most extensive decomposition of the incoming single jets, whereby an undesirable turbulence of these individual jets inside the housing of the jet regulator 1 is avoided.
  • the jet regulators shown here are 1 aerated jet regulators.
  • the jet regulators 1 have a jet regulator housing 7 which has a plurality of circumferentially uniformly spaced apart ventilation openings 8 at its housing periphery. With the help of flowing through the housing interior of the jet regulator 1 water flow can thus be sucked into the housing interior via the ventilation openings 8, which is then used for ventilation of the water jet.
  • the water jet to be ventilated can be kept away from the opening in the housing interior ventilation openings 8.
  • whirling up water jets are guided by means of the Abweisvorsprungs 9 and in particular by means of Abweisschräge 10 away from the ventilation openings 8 in the direction of the housing longitudinal axis of the jet regulator housing 7.
  • the grid 6 is designed as a separate plate-shaped component.
  • the designed as a separate component grid 6 is detachably inserted into the jet regulator housing 7.
  • the grid 6 is followed by a further insertable into the housing 7 component 13 of the homogenizer.
  • the also plate-shaped configured component 13 has a plurality of annular walls 14, which are each arranged in the extension between two nodes 3 of the grid 6.
  • the component 13 is followed by a flow rectifier 15, which forms the downstream end of the jet regulator 1.
  • the flow rectifier 15 of the in the Fig.1 to 4 or the Fig.5 to 8 illustrated jet regulator 1 has annular walls 16 which are arranged in extension of the annular walls 15 of the component 13 and a contrast, slightly have smaller wall thickness.
  • the annular walls 16 of the flow rectifier 15 are rounded at their downstream narrow edge to promote the formation of a homogeneous total beam.
  • an annular circumferential constriction 17 is provided on the downstream housing edge in the flow rectifier 15.
  • the jet regulator housing 7 of the jet regulator 1 is configured substantially in two parts.
  • Fig.1 and 5 It is shown that the jet regulators 1 on the inflow side upstream of a substantially conical auxiliary sieve, which is to separate entrained in the water jet dirt particles and to keep away from the jet regulators 1.
  • the front screen 20 is releasably latched to the inflow-side housing front side of the jet regulator housing 7.
