Die
Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, einen Spülkasten bereitzustellen, bei dem die Zugänglichkeit des Innenraums und der darin angeordneten Vorrichtungen verbessert wird.Against this background, the object of the invention is to provide a cistern in which the accessibility of the interior space and the devices arranged therein is improved.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Spülkasten mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a cistern with the features of claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous refinements of the invention are the subject matter of the subclaims.
Mit der Erfindung wird ein Spülkasten mit einem Kastenkörper bereitgestellt, der eine Revisionsöffnung, in deren Bereich ein Rahmen angeordnet ist, und eine Abdeckplatte aufweist, in der eine Betätigungstaste oder eine Betätigungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist, die zur Bedienung eines Ablaufventils vorgesehen ist. Die Abdeckplatte ist schwenkbar mittels eines Scharniers und somit untrennbar mit dem Rahmen an der Revisionsöffnung verbunden. Dadurch kann die Abdeckplatte wie eine Tür geöffnet und geschlossen werden.The invention provides a cistern with a box body which has an inspection opening, in the area of which a frame is arranged, and a cover plate in which an actuating button or an actuating device is arranged, which is provided for operating a drain valve. The cover plate can be pivoted by means of a hinge and is thus inseparably connected to the frame at the inspection opening. This allows the cover plate to be opened and closed like a door.
Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Verbindung von Betätigungstaste bzw. der Betätigungsvorrichtung und Ablaufventil so ausgeführt, dass die Bedienbarkeit des Ablaufventils unabhängig von der Schwenkposition der Abdeckplatte ist.The connection between the actuation button or the actuation device and the drain valve is preferably designed in such a way that the operability of the drain valve is independent of the pivoting position of the cover plate.
Während bei öffentlichen Gebäuden der Vandalensicherheit Rechnung getragen werden muss, ist es in Privathaushalten zeitaufwendig, bei notwendigen Wartungsvorgängen, die Abdeckplatten und zugehörigen Betätigungstasten von den Spülkästen zu entfernen. Beim erneuten Befestigen der Abdeckplatten ist immer darauf zu achten, dass die Verbindung zwischen Betätigungstaste und Ablaufventil nicht verklemmt oder unterbrochen wird.While vandal security must be taken into account in public buildings, in private households it is time-consuming to remove the cover plates and associated actuation buttons from the cisterns when maintenance operations are required. When reattaching the cover plates, it must always be ensured that the connection between the actuation button and the drain valve is not jammed or interrupted.
Während bei dem erfindungswesentlichen Spülkasten die Revisionsöffnung ausreichend groß ist, um das gesamte Ablaufventil zu montieren bzw. zu demontieren, kann sie gleichzeitig genutzt werden, um Reinigungsmittel oder ähnliches in den Spülkasten oder in dafür vorgesehene Behälter im Spülkasten einzubringen. Dabei sind keine Fachkenntnisse notwendig, da das Öffnen und Schließen der Abdeckplatte und Betätigungstaste keine Unterbrechung der Verbindung zwischen Betätigungsvorrichtung und Ablaufventil bewirkt.While the inspection opening in the cistern, which is essential to the invention, is sufficiently large to mount or dismantle the entire drain valve, it can be used at the same time to introduce cleaning agents or the like into the cistern or into containers provided in the cistern. No specialist knowledge is required, as opening and Closing the cover plate and the actuating button does not cause any interruption of the connection between the actuating device and the drain valve.
Die Betätigungsvorrichtung, die an der Abdeckplatte befestigt ist, ist wiederum mittels einer Leitung mit einem Stellglied des Ablaufventils verbunden. Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob das Stellglied des Ablaufventils über die Leitung pneumatisch, hydraulisch, elektrisch oder mechanisch angesteuert wird.The actuating device, which is fastened to the cover plate, is in turn connected to an actuator of the drain valve by means of a line. It is irrelevant whether the control element of the drain valve is controlled pneumatically, hydraulically, electrically or mechanically via the line.
Die Länge der Leitung ist so vorgesehen, dass sie auch bei geöffneter Abdeckplatte, die Stellgröße, die durch die Betätigungstaste erzeugt wird, an das Stellglied übermittelt.The length of the line is provided so that it transmits the manipulated variable generated by the actuation button to the actuator even when the cover plate is open.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Abdeckplatte an einem zusätzlichen Halterahmen befestigt und mittels des Halterahmens an dem Rahmen der Revisionsöffnung schwenkbar befestigt. Vorteilhafterweise ist dann der Halterahmen mittels eines Scharniers mit dem Rahmen an der Revisionsöffnung verbunden. Vorzugsweise ist das Scharnier so ausgeführt, dass die Abdeckplatte untrennbar mit dem Rahmen am Spülkasten verbunden ist und nicht durch einfaches Abheben der Buchsen von den Achsen der Beschläge abgenommen werden kann. Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Scharnier verdeckt angebracht, so dass es von außen nicht sichtbar ist und die schwenkbare Funktion der Abdeckplatte oder des Halterahmens verborgen ist.According to a further development of the invention, the cover plate is fastened to an additional holding frame and is fastened pivotably to the frame of the inspection opening by means of the holding frame. The holding frame is then advantageously connected to the frame at the inspection opening by means of a hinge. The hinge is preferably designed in such a way that the cover plate is inseparably connected to the frame on the cistern and cannot be removed by simply lifting the sockets off the axes of the fittings. According to a further development of the invention, the hinge is attached in a concealed manner, so that it is not visible from the outside and the pivoting function of the cover plate or the holding frame is hidden.
Vorzugsweise ist das Scharnier als ein am Rahmen und an der Abdeckplatte oder am Halterahmen befestigbares Koppelgetriebe vorgesehen, das als Viergelenkgetriebe ausgebildet ist. Die Gelenkpunkte des Viergelenkgetriebes am Rahmen und an der Abdeckplatte bzw. an dem Halterahmen sind derart gewählt, dass die Abdeckplatte im geschlossenen Zustand parallel zur Spülkastenvorderseite angeordnet ist und in einem geöffneten oder verschwenkten Zustand einen Öffnungswinkel von größer 120° aufweisen kann.The hinge is preferably provided as a coupling mechanism which can be fastened to the frame and to the cover plate or to the holding frame and is designed as a four-bar mechanism. The hinge points of the four-bar linkage on the frame and on the cover plate or on the holding frame are selected such that the cover plate is arranged parallel to the front of the cistern when closed and can have an opening angle of greater than 120 ° in an open or pivoted state.

Im Innenraum des Spülkastens 1 ist neben dem Ablaufventil 8 ein Behälter 10 für Reinigungsmittel angeordnet, der mittels Traversen o.ä. an der Spülkastenwand unabhängig vom Ablaufventil 8 befestigt ist. Der Behälter 10 ist wenigstens zum Teil unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche im Spülkasten 1 angeordnet, so dass Reinigungsmittel, das in fester Form in den Spülkasten eingelegt wird, gelöst und in das anstehende Wasser abgegeben werden kann.In the interior of the cistern 1, in addition to the
Für alle Wartungsarbeiten muss die Abdeckplatte jedoch komplett von der Spülkastenöffnung demontiert werden. Gerade bei Wandeinbauspülkästen, bei denen Abdeckplatten und Betätigungsvorrichtungen üblicherweise kombiniert sind, ist dies aufwendig, da bei der erneuten Montage auf die Funktionsfähigkeit der Betätigungsvorrichtungen und der damit verbundenen Ablaufventile geachtet werden muss.For all maintenance work, however, the cover plate must be completely removed from the cistern opening. This is costly, especially in the case of built-in cisterns, in which cover plates and actuating devices are usually combined, since attention must be paid to the functionality of the actuating devices and the associated drain valves when re-assembling.
An der Abdeckplatte 4 ist eine pneumatische Betätigungsvorrichtung 6 befestigt, an deren Vorderseite eine Betätigungstaste (nicht sichtbar) angeordnet ist. Beim Berühren oder bei Druck auf die Betätigungstaste wird in der Betätigungsvorrichtung 6 über einen Faltenbalg oder Druckgeber eine pneumatische Stellgröße erzeugt, die über eine flexible Leitung 7 zu einem Stellglied des Ablaufventils 8 geführt wird.A
Die Länge der Leitung 7 ist dabei der Schwenkbewegung der Abdeckplatte 4 angepasst. Dadurch kann diese wie eine Tür geöffnet werden, ohne dass die Funktion des Ablaufventils 8 unterbrochen wird. Daher ist auch im verschwenkten oder geöffneten Zustand der Abdeckplatte 4 eine Betätigung des Ablaufventils 8 und eine Kontrolle des Spülvorgangs möglich.The length of the
