Abstract

The invention relates to a shower head with a jet discharge disk (2), comprising a plurality of jet discharge openings (3). Individual chambers (8) are formed behind the jet discharge disk within the housing, said chambers being formed by the jet discharge disk and by an intermediate disk arranged at a distance. The individual chambers are hydraulically separated from each other between the jet discharge disk and the intermediate disk by at least almost radially extending ribs. Each chamber comprises an inlet on the side of the intermediate disk that faces the water inlet (1) into the housing. A valve disk is rotatably arranged in the shower head housing and closes and opens during a rotation after each inlet opening into the chambers. Thus, a discharge of water from the jet discharge opening of a chamber takes place suddenly and in a suddenly changing manner at the same time.

Brausekopfshower head
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Brausekopf mit einem Brausekopfgehäuse, einem Wassereinlass und einer Strahlaustrittsscheibe.The invention relates to a shower head with a shower head housing, a water inlet and a jet exit disc.
Es ist bereits ein Brausekopf bekannt, in dem eine Turbine angeordnet ist, die zu einer periodischen Bewegung des Strahlaustrittskörpers ge- genüber dem Brausekopfgehäuse führt (EP 676241 ). Zwischen der Turbine und dem Strahlaustrittskörper kann ein Untersetzungsgetriebe angeordnet sein.A shower head is already known, in which a turbine is arranged, which leads to a periodic movement of the jet outlet body relative to the showerhead housing (EP 676241). Between the turbine and the jet outlet body, a reduction gear can be arranged.
Bei einer weiteren bekannten Brauseeinrichtung macht die Strahlaus- trittsscheibe eine exzentrische Bewegung, ohne sich zu verdrehen. Die als Hülsen aus elastischem Material bestehenden Strahlaustrittselemente bewegen sich dabei auf einem Kegel, wobei alle Strahlaustrittselemente parallel zueinander bleiben (WO00/10720).In another known shower device, the jet outlet disc makes an eccentric movement without twisting. The jet exit elements, which are made of elastic material, move on a cone, with all the jet exit elements remaining parallel to one another (WO00 / 10720).
Ebenfalls bekannt sind Massagebrausen, bei denen Strahlaustrittsöffnungen in sehr schneller Folge geöffnet und geschlossen werden. Dabei soll ein pulsierender Strahl geschaffen werden, der eine Massagewirkung beim Auftreffen auf der Haut erzeugen soll.Also known are massage showers in which jet outlet openings are opened and closed in a very fast sequence. In this case, a pulsating beam is to be created, which should produce a massage effect when hitting the skin.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Brausekopf zu schaffen, bei dem auch bei einer großflächigen Abstrahlung ohne zusätzlichen Wasserverbrauch kräftige Wasserstrahlen erzeugt werden..The invention is based on the object to provide a shower head, in which even with a large-scale radiation without additional water consumption strong water jets are generated.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung einen Brausekopf mit den im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmalen vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Patentansprüche. Der Brausekopf nach der Erfindung enthält also zwei getrennte Kammern, aus denen das Wasser durch die Strahlaustrittsöffnungen der Strahl austritt Scheibe ausströmen kann. Diese Kammern sind so voneinander getrennt, das ist möglich ist, eine der beiden Kammern mit Wasser zu versorgen, während die andere Kammer nicht mit Wasser versorgt wird. Das Wasser kann also nicht von einer Kammer in die andere Kammer fließen. Durch die Ventileinrichtung, die die Kammern öffnen und schließen kann, wird es dann möglich, eine Kammer getrennt von einer anderen Kammer mit Wasser zu versorgen. Beim Umschalten treten dann aus allen Strahlaustrittsöffnungen einer Kammer gleichzeitig plötzlich Wasserstrahlen aus, beziehungsweise werden abgeschaltet. Es wird also nicht eine Strahlaustrittsöffnung nach der anderen ein- beziehungsweise ausgeschaltet, sondern immer eine ganze Gruppe von Strahlaustrittsöffnungen.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a shower head with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. The shower head according to the invention thus contains two separate chambers from which the water can flow out through the jet outlet openings of the jet disc. These chambers are so separated, it is possible to provide one of the two chambers with water, while the other chamber is not supplied with water. So the water can not flow from one chamber to the other. By the valve means, which can open and close the chambers, it is then possible to supply a chamber separately from another chamber with water. When switching then suddenly occur from all the beam outlet openings of a chamber water jets, or be switched off. It is therefore not one jet outlet opening after the other switched on or off, but always a whole group of jet outlet openings.
Durch das zeitweise Abschalten der Strahlöffnungen einer Kammer wird der Durchfluss insgesamt erniedrigt, was gleichzeitig einen Anstieg des Innendrucks und damit eine Verstärkung der austretende Wasserstrahlen bewirkt.By temporarily switching off the jet openings of a chamber, the flow is reduced overall, which simultaneously causes an increase in the internal pressure and thus an amplification of the exiting water jets.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Ventileinrichtung mindestens einen Ventilschließkörper aufweist, der mit einem Einlass in mindestens zwei, vorzugsweise alle Kammern zusammenwirkt. Es gibt in diesem Fall also mindestens einen Ventilschließkör- per, der aber dann für mindestens zwei, insbesondere aber alle Kammern zuständig ist. Dadurch vereinfacht sich der Aufbau der Ventileinrichtung.In a further development of the invention it can be provided that the valve device has at least one valve closing body which cooperates with an inlet in at least two, preferably all chambers. In this case, therefore, there is at least one valve closing body which, however, is then responsible for at least two, but in particular all chambers. This simplifies the construction of the valve device.
Es ist ebenfalls möglich, dass die Ventileinrichtung mehrere Ventil- schließkörper aufweist. Auch dann kann vorgesehen sein, dass mindestens ein Ventilschließkörper mit dem Einlass in alle Kammern zusammenwirkt. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, dass bei mehreren Ventilschließkörpern für mindestens eine Kammer ein eigener Ventilschließkörper vorhanden ist, der nicht mit den anderen Kammern zusammenwirkt.It is also possible for the valve device to have a plurality of valve closing bodies. Also then it can be provided that at least one valve closing body cooperates with the inlet in all chambers. Another possibility is that with several valve closing bodies for at least one chamber, a separate valve closing body is present, which does not interact with the other chambers.
Um die erwähnte Wirkung des schlagartigen Einschaltens beziehungsweise Abschaltens aller Strahlaustrittsöffnungen der Kammer zu begünstigen, kann in Weiterbildung vorgesehen sein, dass diese Kammer nur einen Einlass aufweist.In order to promote the mentioned effect of the sudden switching on or switching off of all the jet outlet openings of the chamber, it can be provided in a development that this chamber has only one inlet.
Für den Antrieb kann erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, dass unmittelbar hinter dem Einlass in das Brausekopfgehäuse eine Turbine angeordnet ist, die über ein Getriebe oder direkt mit dem Ventilschließkörper verbunden ist.For the drive can be inventively provided that immediately behind the inlet into the shower head housing, a turbine is arranged, which is connected via a gear or directly to the valve closing body.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Brausekopfgehäuse eine insbesondere kreisrunde Strahlaustrittsscheibe aufweist, wobei die Kammern die Grundfläche eines Kreissektors aufweisen.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Brausekopf enthält ein flachzylindrisches Gehäuse, das auf seiner dem Benutzer abgewandten Seite einen Wasser- einlass 1 zum Anschluss an eine Wasserleitung, einen Schlauch oder dergleichen aufweist. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite wird das Gehäuse von einer Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 begrenzt, die im dargestellten Beispiel als ebene kreisrunde Scheibe ausgebildet ist. In der Strahlaustrittsscheibe ist eine Vielzahl von Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 3 angeordnet, aus denen im Betrieb der Brause Wasser ausströmt. Zwischen dem Ein- lass 1 und der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 ist ein Mantel vier ausgebildet, der im dargestellten Beispiel auf einer Zylindermantelfläche liegt.The shower head shown in Figure 1 includes a flat-cylindrical housing having on its side facing away from the user a water inlet 1 for connection to a water pipe, a hose or the like. On the opposite side, the housing is bounded by a jet exit disc 2, which in the illustrated Example is formed as a flat circular disc. In the jet exit disc a plurality of jet outlet openings 3 is arranged, from which water flows out during operation of the shower. Between the inlet 1 and the jet outlet disc 2, a jacket 4 is formed, which lies in the example shown on a cylinder jacket surface.
Figur 2 zeigt in vergrößertem Maßstab eine Seitenansicht eines solchen Brausekopfs. Der Wassereinlass 1 verbreitert sich unmittelbar hinter seiner Anschlussstelle, oben in Figur 1 , so dass er beim Eintritt in das Brausekopfgehäuse einen größeren Innendurchmesser aufweist.Figure 2 shows an enlarged scale a side view of such a shower head. The water inlet 1 widened immediately behind its junction, at the top in Figure 1, so that it has a larger inner diameter when entering the showerhead housing.
Figur 3 zeigt einen Schnitt durch das Brausekopfgehäuse in einer Ebene parallel zu der Ansicht der Figur 2. Im dargestellten Beispiel ist die Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 einstückig mit dem Mantel 4 des Brausekopfge- häuses. Dies könnte auch anders gelöst sein. Auf der dem Wassereinlass 1 zugewandten Rückseite ist die Brause durch einen Deckel 5 abgeschlossen.Figure 3 shows a section through the showerhead housing in a plane parallel to the view of Figure 2. In the example shown, the jet exit disc 2 is integral with the jacket 4 of the showerhead housing. This could also be solved differently. On the back of the water inlet 1 facing the shower is closed by a cover 5.
Hinter der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 ist eine Zwischenscheibe 6 angeord- net, die als ebene Scheibe ausgebildet ist und somit parallel zur Innenseite der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 verläuft. Diese Zwischenscheibe 6 weist einen hochgezogenen Rand 7 auf, der mit seiner Außenseite an der Innenseite des Mantels 4 anliegt.Behind the jet outlet disc 2, an intermediate disc 6 is arranged, which is formed as a flat disc and thus parallel to the inside of the jet exit disc 2. This washer 6 has a raised edge 7, which rests with its outside on the inside of the shell 4.
Zwischen der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 und der Zwischenscheibe 6 sind einzelne Kammern 8 ausgebildet. Sie reichen von einer Stelle 9 benachbart zum Mittelpunkt des Querschnitts des Gehäuses bis an der Innenseite der Außenwand 4. Die einzelnen Kammern sind durch Rippen 10 voneinander getrennt, auf denen die Zwischenscheibe 6 aufliegt. In Figur 3 ist rechts der Schnitt durch eine Kammer 8 gelegt, während links von der Mittellinie der Schnitt durch eine Rippe 10 geht. Aus jeder Kammer 8, von denen Figur 3 nur eine zeigt, führen mehrere Strahlaus- trittsöffnungen 3 ins Freie. Die Zwischenwand 6 weist für jede Kammer 8 eine einzige Einlassöffnung 11 auf, die im Schnitt der Figur 3 ebenfalls zu sehen ist.Between the jet exit disc 2 and the washer 6 individual chambers 8 are formed. They extend from a point 9 adjacent to the center of the cross section of the housing to the inside of the outer wall 4. The individual chambers are separated by ribs 10, on which rests the washer 6. In FIG. 3, the section through a chamber 8 is laid on the right, while the section through a rib 10 goes to the left of the center line. From each chamber 8, of which only one is shown in FIG. 3 openings to the outside. The intermediate wall 6 has, for each chamber 8, a single inlet opening 11, which can likewise be seen in the section of FIG.
Während die Zwischenscheibe 6 auf ihrer der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 zugewandten Seite eben ausgebildet ist, so dass sie auf der Oberfläche der Rippen 10 vollständig und damit auch dichtend aufliegt, enthält sie auf ihrer dem Wassereinlass 1 zugewandten Seite in der Mitte einen Lagerzapfen 12. Auf dem Lagerzapfen 12 ist die Nabe 13 einer Turbine gelagert. Die Nabe 13 ist zwischen der Zwischenscheibe 6 und dem Deckel 5 in Axialrichtung mit geringem Spiel so festgelegt, dass sie sich nicht verschieben kann. Die Nabe 13 weist im Bereich ihres der Zwischenscheibe 6 zugewandten Abschnitts eine Außenverzahnung 14 auf. In dem Bereich oberhalb der Außenverzahnung 14 enthält die Nabe einstückig angeformt mehrere Flügel 15, die somit zusammen mit der Nabe 13 das Turbinenrad bilden. Die Außenkanten 16 der Flügel 15 liegen auf einem Kreis mit einem Radius, der etwa dem Radius eines Querschnitts durch den erweiterten Teil des Wassereinlasses 1 entspricht.While the washer 6 is formed flat on its side facing the jet exit disc 2, so that it rests on the surface of the ribs 10 completely and thus sealingly, it contains on its side facing the water inlet 1 in the middle of a journal 12. On the journal 12, the hub 13 of a turbine is supported. The hub 13 is set between the washer 6 and the cover 5 in the axial direction with little play so that they can not move. The hub 13 has an outer toothing 14 in the region of its portion facing the intermediate disk 6. In the area above the external teeth 14, the hub integrally formed includes a plurality of wings 15, which thus form together with the hub 13, the turbine wheel. The outer edges 16 of the wings 15 lie on a circle having a radius which corresponds approximately to the radius of a cross section through the widened part of the water inlet 1.
Um die Turbine in Drehung zu versetzen, sind in dem Deckel 5 innerhalb des Bereichs, wo der Wassereinlass 1 mit dem Deckel 5 verbunden ist, vier Öffnungen 17 angeordnet. Diese Öffnungen verlaufen schräg, und zwar, wenn man der Anordnung der Öffnungen 17 folgt, alle in der glei- chen Richtung schräg. Hierzu wird auf die Figur 4 verwiesen, die einen Schnitt durch den erweiterten Teil des Wassereinlasses längs Linie IV-IV in Figur 3 zeigt. Wenn man den einzelnen Öffnungen 17 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn folgt, so verlaufen die Öffnungen alle in der gleichen Richtung geneigt, so dass der aus den Öffnungen 17 unterhalb des Deckels 5 austretende Wasserstrahl bei allen Flügeln 15 in der gleichen Richtung auftrifft. Dies bedeutet, dass das durch die Öffnungen 17 eintretende Wasser die Turbine in Drehung versetzt. Im folgenden wird auf die Figur fünf verwiesen, die einen abgebrochenen Schnitt längs Linie V-V in Figur zwei zeigt. In der linken Hälfte ist der Schnitt durch die Kammern 8 gelegt, in der rechten Hälfte liegt der Schnitt zwischen der Zwischenscheibe 6 und dem Deckel fünf. Er zeigt also eine Draufsicht auf die Zwischenscheibe 6 mit den Einlassöffnungen 11.In order to set the turbine in rotation, four openings 17 are arranged in the lid 5 within the area where the water inlet 1 is connected to the lid 5. These openings run obliquely, if one follows the arrangement of the openings 17, all obliquely in the same direction. Reference is made to FIG. 4, which shows a section through the enlarged part of the water inlet along line IV-IV in FIG. If one follows the individual openings 17 in the counterclockwise direction, the openings are all inclined in the same direction, so that the water jet emerging from the openings 17 below the cover 5 impinges on all the wings 15 in the same direction. This means that the water entering through the openings 17 causes the turbine to rotate. Reference is now made to the figure five, which shows a broken section along line VV in Figure two. In the left half of the section through the chambers 8 is placed in the right half of the intersection between the washer 6 and the lid is five. It thus shows a plan view of the intermediate disk 6 with the inlet openings 11.
Es wurde bereits erwähnt, dass die Zwischenscheibe 6 mit ihrem Rand an der Innenseite der Außenwand 4 anliegt. Diese Wand enthält nun auf der gleichen Höhe wie die Außenverzahnung 14 der Nabe 13 einen nach innen gerichteten Zahnkranz 18, der sich über den gesamten Umfang dieser Wand 7 erstreckt. Zwischen dem Zahnkranz 14 der Nabe 13 und dem inneren Zahnkranz 18 der Wand 7 ist im dargestellten Ausfüh- rungsbeispiel ein Ventilschließkörper 19 in Form einer ebenen kreisrunden Scheibe 20 angeordnet. Diese Ventilschließscheibe 20 weist längs ihres Umfangs einen Zahnkranz 21 auf. Dieser Zahnkranz 21 kämmt sowohl mit dem nach innen gerichteten Zahnkranz 18 als auch mit dem Zahnkranz 14 der Nabe 13. Bei einer Verdrehung der Nabe 13, hervor- gerufen durch das strömende Wasser, verdreht sich somit auch die Ventilschließscheibe 20, so dass sie auf der Innenverzahnung 18 abrollt. In der in Figur 5 dargestellten Position verschließt sie die Einlassöffnung 11 einer Kammer, während sie die übrigen Einlassöffnungen 11 der anderen Kammern 8 offenlässt. Durch die offen gelassenen Einlassöffnun- gen 11 fließt das Wasser in die Kammern 8 und von dort durch die Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 3 ins Freie. Die in Figur 5 dargestellte Ventilschließscheibe 20 verschließt im Laufe eines Zyklus, das heißt einer vollständigen Umdrehung, nacheinander die Einlassöffnungen 11 zu jeder Kammer 8.It has already been mentioned that the intermediate disc 6 abuts with its edge on the inside of the outer wall 4. This wall now contains at the same height as the external teeth 14 of the hub 13 an inwardly directed sprocket 18, which extends over the entire circumference of this wall 7. Between the sprocket 14 of the hub 13 and the inner sprocket 18 of the wall 7, a valve closing member 19 in the form of a flat circular disc 20 is arranged in the illustrated embodiment. This valve closing disc 20 has a ring gear 21 along its circumference. This sprocket 21 meshes with both the inwardly directed sprocket 18 and with the sprocket 14 of the hub 13. Upon rotation of the hub 13, caused by the flowing water, thus also the valve closing disc 20 is rotated so that they on the Internal toothing 18 rolls. In the position shown in FIG. 5, it closes the inlet opening 11 of one chamber, while leaving the remaining inlet openings 11 of the other chambers 8 open. The water flows into the chambers 8 through the open inlet openings 11 and from there through the jet outlet openings 3 into the open air. The valve closing disc 20 illustrated in FIG. 5 sequentially closes the inlet openings 11 to each chamber 8 in the course of one cycle, that is to say a complete revolution.
Es ist möglich, dass bei einer solchen Anordnung mehr als eine Ventilschließscheibe 20 vorhanden ist, beispielsweise zwei oder drei. Um die Dauer des Verschlossenseins der Einlassöffnungen 11 in einem gewissen Ausmaß zu ändern, ist es möglich, diese Einlassöffnungen 11 näher an der Nabe 13 oder näher an die Außenseite heranzurücken.It is possible that in such an arrangement more than one valve closing disc 20 is present, for example two or three. In order to change the duration of the closing of the inlet openings 11 to a certain extent, it is possible to approach these inlet openings 11 closer to the hub 13 or closer to the outside.
Die Rippen 10 zwischen den einzelnen Kammern verlaufen von einem Mittelpunkt der kreisrunden Anordnung radial nach außen, so dass die zwischen ihnen gebildeten Kammern kreissektorförmig ausgebildet sind. Strahlaustrittsöffnungen gibt es über die gesamte Fläche der Strahlaus- trittscheibe 2, so dass alle Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 3 mit Wasser versorgt werden können.The ribs 10 between the individual chambers extend radially outwardly from a center of the circular arrangement, so that the chambers formed between them are formed in the shape of a sector of a circle. There are jet outlet openings over the entire surface of the jet outlet disk 2, so that all jet outlet openings 3 can be supplied with water.
Die Figuren 6 und 7 zeigen in perspektivischer Ansicht einen Brausekopf einmal schräg von unten und einmal schräg von oben. Die Form des Brausekopfs ist genauso wie bei dem vorhergehenden Ausführungsbeispiel, jedoch sind die Strahlaustrittsöffnungen auch optisch zu Gruppen von Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 3 in der Strahlscheibe 2 zusammengefasst. Der Einlass erfolgt wiederum von oben, das heißt von der der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 gegenüberliegenden Oberseite. Hier ist ein Wasserein- lass 1 vorhanden, in dessen Innerem drei Schlitze 23 vorhanden sind, durch die das Wasser in das innere des Brausekopfs strömt. In dem Inneren des Brausekopfs ist unmittelbar hinter den drei Schlitzen 23 eine Turbine 24 angeordnet, die durch das in den Brausekopf strömende Wasser angetrieben wird. Die Turbine treibt über ein Schreckengetriebe 25 eine diametral durch das Gehäuse verlaufende Achse 26 an. Die Achse 26 ist an ihren beiden Enden in dem Gehäuse des Brausekopfs gelagert. Sie weist zwei Ventilschließkörper in Form von Scheiben 27 auf. Diese Scheiben 27 erstrecken sich über ungefähr einem dreiviertel Bogen, besitzen also eine Lücke. Die Lücken beider Scheiben 27 sind an unterschiedlichen Stellen längs des Umfangs angeordnet. Die Achse 26 mit den Ventilschließkörpern 27 ist in einen Ventilraum 28 angeordnet, in den etwa in der Mitte der Einlass für das Wasser hinein führt. In den Teilen, in denen die Scheiben 27 angeordnet sind, weist der Ventilraum 28 Zylinderform auf und liegen die Umfangsflächen der Ventilscheiben 27 an der Wand an. Aus dem Ventilraum 28 führen Ventilöffnungen 30 zu jeweils einer Gruppe von Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 3. Die Scheiben 27 weisen eine Dicke auf, die größer ist als der Durchmesser der Ventilöffnungen 30. Die Scheiben 27 sind in Axialrichtung an der Achse 26 an den Stellen angeordnet, an denen die Ventilöffnungen 30 zu den die Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 3 enthaltenden Kammern 31 führen. Dies kann man am besten in Figur 10 erkennen. Wenn nun durch Rotie- ren der Achse 26 die Ventilscheiben 27 rotieren, so decken sie über einen Teil ihres Umfangs die Ventilöffnungen 30 ab, während dort, wo die Lücken vorhanden sind, der Einlass in die Öffnung 30 und damit in die Kammern 31 geöffnet wird.Figures 6 and 7 show a perspective view of a shower head obliquely from below and even obliquely from above. The shape of the shower head is the same as in the previous embodiment, but the jet outlet openings are also optically combined into groups of jet outlet openings 3 in the jet disk 2. The inlet again takes place from above, that is to say from the top side opposite the jet exit disk 2. Here, a water inlet 1 is present, in the interior of which there are three slots 23, through which the water flows into the interior of the shower head. In the interior of the shower head, a turbine 24 is arranged immediately behind the three slots 23, which is driven by the water flowing into the shower head. The turbine drives via a detent gear 25 a diametrically extending through the housing axis 26 at. The axis 26 is mounted at its two ends in the housing of the shower head. It has two valve closing bodies in the form of discs 27. These discs 27 extend over approximately a three-quarter arc, so have a gap. The gaps of both disks 27 are arranged at different locations along the circumference. The axis 26 with the valve closing bodies 27 is arranged in a valve space 28 into which leads approximately in the middle of the inlet for the water. In the parts in which the discs 27 are arranged, the valve chamber 28 has a cylindrical shape and abut the peripheral surfaces of the valve discs 27 on the wall. From the valve space 28 valve openings 30 lead to a group of jet outlet openings 3. The discs 27 have a thickness which is greater than the diameter of the valve openings 30. The discs 27 are arranged in the axial direction on the axis 26 at the locations at which the valve openings 30 lead to the chambers 31 containing the jet outlet openings 3. This can best be seen in FIG. If the valve disks 27 now rotate by rotating the axis 26, they cover the valve openings 30 over a part of their circumference, whereas where the gaps are present the inlet into the opening 30 and thus into the chambers 31 is opened ,
Mithilfe eines Druckknopfs 32 lässt sich die Achse 26 justieren oder auch verschieben. Dieses stufenlose Verschieben betrifft dann alle Kammern.By means of a push button 32, the axis 26 can be adjusted or even move. This stepless displacement then affects all chambers.
Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Scheiben 27 als ebene Scheiben ausgebildet, so dass der Öffnungsvorgang und der Schließvorgang durch die Lücke in der Scheibe 27 erreicht wird. Es ist auch denkbar, die Scheiben schräg zur Achse verlaufen zu lassen, so dass die Berührungsfläche zwischen dem Umfang der Scheiben und der Wand des Ventilraums 28 in axialer Richtung hin und her wandert.In the illustrated embodiment, the discs 27 are formed as flat discs, so that the opening operation and the closing operation through the gap in the disc 27 is achieved. It is also conceivable to allow the disks to run obliquely to the axis, so that the contact surface between the periphery of the disks and the wall of the valve chamber 28 moves back and forth in the axial direction.
Während bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 6 bis Figur 10 der Was- sereinlass von der Seite des Deckels 5 her erfolgt, zeigt Figur 11 einen der Figur 10 entsprechenden Schnitt, bei der der Antrieb der Achse 26 von der Seite her erfolgt, also aus der Axialrichtung der Achse. Hier ist eine Turbine 24 ebenfalls hinter einem Einlass angeordnet, wobei zwischen der Turbine 24 und der von ihr verdrehten Achse 26 ein Untersetzungsgetriebe 25 angeordnet ist. Im übrigen arbeitet diese Einrichtung in ähnlicher Weise wie die vorhergehende.While in the embodiment according to FIG. 6 to FIG. 10 the water inlet takes place from the side of the cover 5, FIG. 11 shows a section corresponding to FIG. 10, in which the drive of the axis 26 takes place from the side, ie from the axial direction the axis. Here, a turbine 24 is also arranged behind an inlet, wherein between the turbine 24 and the axis 26 rotated by it, a reduction gear 25 is arranged. Moreover, this facility works in similar to the previous one.
Figur 12 zeigt einen Schnitt, wo zwei auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Achse 26 liegende Kammern 31 mit Wasser versorgt werden, während in der Position der Figur 13 nur die rechte Kammer 31 mit Wasser versorgt wird.Figure 12 shows a section where two chambers 31 located on opposite sides of the axis 26 are supplied with water while in the position of Figure 13 only the right chamber 31 is supplied with water.
Die Figuren 14 bis 19 zeigen eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Brausekopfs nach der Erfindung. Der im Schnitt in Figur 14 dargestellte Brausekopf entspricht der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 1 bis 5 in der Weise, dass der ein flachzylindrisches Gehäuse mit einem Mantel 4 und einer Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 aufweist. In der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 sind eine Vielzahl von Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 3 angeordnet. Auf der der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 abgewandten Seite ist das Gehäuse durch einen Deckel 5 abgeschlossen. An dem Deckel 5 ist der Wassereinlass 1 angebracht, aus dem das Wasser durch den Deckel 5 in das Innere des Gehäuses eintritt. In dem hier etwas dickeren Deckel 5 sind KanäleFigures 14 to 19 show a further embodiment of a shower head according to the invention. The shower head shown in section in FIG. 14 corresponds to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 5 in such a way that it has a flat-cylindrical housing with a jacket 4 and a jet exit disk 2. In the jet exit disc 2, a plurality of jet outlet openings 3 are arranged. On the side facing away from the jet exit disk 2, the housing is closed by a cover 5. On the lid 5, the water inlet 1 is attached, from which the water enters through the lid 5 in the interior of the housing. In the here somewhat thicker lid 5 are channels
40 ausgebildet, die von dem im Durchmesser relativ kleinen Wassereinlass 1 durch den Deckel 5 bis in den Bereich der Außenseite des Ge- häuses führen.40 formed, which lead from the relatively small diameter water inlet 1 through the cover 5 into the region of the outside of the housing.
Auf der Innenseite des die Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 und den Mantel 3 des Gehäuses bildenden Bauteils ist eine Randstufe 41 gebildet. Mit Abstand von dieser Randstufe 41 ist auf der Innenseite der Strahlaustritts- Scheibe ein Ringsteg 42 angeformt, der die gleiche Höhe wie die StufeOn the inside of the jet exit disk 2 and the shell 3 of the housing forming member, an edge step 41 is formed. At a distance from this edge step 41, an annular web 42 is formed on the inside of the jet outlet disc, which has the same height as the step
41 aufweist. Ein Teil der Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 4 ist in dem Raum zwischen dem Ringsteg 42 und der Außenwand 3 des Gehäuses angeordnet, während ein anderer Teil der Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 4 innerhalb des Ringstegs 42 angeordnet ist. Auf die Schulter 41 und den Ringsteg 42 ist ein Zwischenboden 43 aufgelegt, der dadurch eine erste Kammer 44 zwischen dem Mantel 3, der Strahlscheibe 2 und dem Ringsteg 42 und eine zweite Kammer 45 zwischen dem Ringsteg 42 und der Strahl- austrittsscheibe 2 bildet. Aus jeder der beiden Kammern 44, 45 führen Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 3 ins Freie.41 has. A part of the jet outlet openings 4 is arranged in the space between the annular web 42 and the outer wall 3 of the housing, while another part of the jet outlet openings 4 is arranged within the annular web 42. On the shoulder 41 and the annular web 42, an intermediate bottom 43 is placed, thereby forming a first chamber 44 between the shell 3, the jet disk 2 and the annular web 42 and a second chamber 45 between the annular web 42 and the beam exit disc 2 forms. From each of the two chambers 44, 45 lead jet outlet openings 3 into the open.
Der Zwischenboden 43 weist einen Einlass 46 in die äußere Kammer 44 und einen Einlass 47 in die innere Kammer 45 auf. In der Mitte weist der Zwischenboden 43 auf der der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 abgewandten Seite einen Lagerzapfen 6 auf, auf dem ein Bauteil 48 drehbar gelagert ist. Dieses Bauteil 48 weist eine Vielzahl von radial verlaufenden Flügeln 49 auf, die bis fast an die Außenseite des Gehäuses reichen. Das aus den Kanälen 40 austretende Wasser trifft auf die Flügel 49 und versetzt dieses Bauteil 48 in Drehung. Das Bauteil 48 weist an der Unterseite seiner Flügel 49 zwei Teilringplatten 50, 51 auf, die sich jeweils über etwa einen halben Umfang erstrecken. Die äußere Platte 50 ist so angeordnet, dass ihre Außenkante außerhalb der Außenkante der Einlassöff- nung 46 und ihre Innenkante auf einem Kreis innerhalb der inneren Seite der Einlassöffnung 46 liegt. Dies bedeutet, dass diese Platte 50 den Einlass 46 in die äußere Kammer 44 verschließen kann. Das gleiche gilt für die innere Teilringplatte 51 , die dementsprechend dem Einlass 47 in die innere Kammer 45 zugeordnet ist.The intermediate bottom 43 has an inlet 46 into the outer chamber 44 and an inlet 47 into the inner chamber 45. In the middle, the intermediate bottom 43 on the side facing away from the jet exit disc 2 on a bearing pin 6, on which a component 48 is rotatably mounted. This component 48 has a plurality of radially extending vanes 49, which extend almost to the outside of the housing. The water leaving the channels 40 hits the wings 49 and causes this component 48 to rotate. The component 48 has on the underside of its wings 49, two partial annular plates 50, 51, each extending over about half a circumference. The outer plate 50 is arranged so that its outer edge lies outside the outer edge of the inlet opening 46 and its inner edge lies on a circle within the inner side of the inlet opening 46. This means that this plate 50 can close the inlet 46 into the outer chamber 44. The same applies to the inner partial annular plate 51, which is correspondingly associated with the inlet 47 into the inner chamber 45.
Die Einlassöffnung 46 beziehungsweise 47 in die Kammern 44, 45 erstrecken sich über einen kurzen Bogen, siehe Figur 18, die eine perspektivische Darstellung des Zwischenbodens 43 zeigt. Die Innenansicht der Strahlaustrittsscheibe 2 mit dem Ringsteg 42 und der Schulter 41 ist in Figur 19 zu sehen.The inlet opening 46 or 47 into the chambers 44, 45 extend over a short arc, see FIG. 18, which shows a perspective view of the intermediate bottom 43. The interior view of the jet exit disc 2 with the annular web 42 and the shoulder 41 can be seen in FIG.
Der Brausekopf der in den Figuren 20 und 21 dargestellten Ausführungsform entscheidet sich in einer Einzelheit von dem Brausekopf der in Figur 14 bis 19 dargestellten Ausführungsform. In dem Deckel 5 gibt es nicht nur den Kanal 40, der innerhalb des Gehäuses im Bereich der radialen Außenseite ausmündet und zum Antrieb des Rotors dient. Zusätzlich gibt es senkrecht durch den Deckel 5 hindurch gehende Durch- gänge 50, die direkt neben der Lagerung des Rotors auf der Nabe 6 münden. Der Deckel 5 ist drehbar gegenüber dem Wassereinlass 1 angeordnet, wozu eine nach innen gerichtete Rippe in eine äußere Nut des Wassereinlasses 1 eingreift. Natürlich sind Abdichtungen vorgesehen, die aber nicht dargestellt sind. Das Brausekopfgehäuse kann durch Angreifen an seinem äußeren Rand verdreht werden, einmal in eine Position, wo die Öffnungen 51 in einer Abschlusswand 52 des Wassereinlasses 1 mit den Einlassen 53 der Kanäle 40 fluchten. Dann arbeitet der Brausekopf in der gleichen Weise wie bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 14 bis 19. Der Deckel 5 kann aber durch Verdrehen auch in eine Position gebracht werden, wo die Öffnungen 51 in der Abschlusswand 52 des Wassereinlasses 1 mit den Durchgängen 50 in Übereinstimmung gebracht werden. In dieser Situation wird der Rotor nicht angetrieben, sondern das Wasser strömt aus der gerade offenen Öffnung in der Zwi- schenwand 43 in die jeweils zugeordnete Kammer und von dort aus durch die Strahlaustrittsöffnungen 3 ins Freie. Auf diese Weise kann das Umschalten manuell aufgehoben werden.The showerhead of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 is decided in detail by the showerhead of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 14 to 19. In the cover 5, there is not only the channel 40, which opens inside the housing in the region of the radial outside and serves to drive the rotor. In addition, there are vertically through the cover 5 through going through 50, which lead directly to the bearing of the rotor on the hub 6. The lid 5 is rotatably arranged opposite to the water inlet 1, for which purpose an inwardly directed rib engages in an outer groove of the water inlet 1. Of course, seals are provided, which are not shown. The showerhead housing can be rotated by engaging its outer edge, once in a position where the openings 51 in a closure wall 52 of the water inlet 1 are aligned with the inlets 53 of the channels 40. Then, the shower head operates in the same manner as in the embodiment of FIGS. 14 to 19. However, the lid 5 can be twisted to a position where the openings 51 in the end wall 52 of the water inlet 1 are in registry with the passages 50 become. In this situation, the rotor is not driven, but the water flows from the currently open opening in the intermediate wall 43 in the respectively associated chamber and from there through the jet outlet openings 3 into the open. In this way, switching can be canceled manually.
Die in den Figuren 22 und 23 dargestellte Ausführungsform unterschei- det sich von den bisherigen Ausführungsformen dadurch, dass die an der der Strahlscheibe 2 abgewandten Seite des Zwischenbodens 43 gebildeten Nabe 6 hier eine durchgehende Öffnung aufweist. Auch die Strahlscheibe 2 weist eine mit der Nabe 6 fluchtende Öffnung auf. Diese Öffnung ist in einer Nabe 61 gebildet. Durch die miteinander fluchtenden Öffnungen greift ein Schubelement 62 hindurch, das auf der Außenseite der Strahlscheibe 2 einen Griffknopf 63 enthält. Das Schubelement 62 greift mit seinem Inneren Ende in die Lagerung 64 des Rotors ein. Durch Einschieben des Griffknopfs 63 kann der Rotor so angehoben werden, dass die Teilringplatten 50,51 von ihrem Kontakt mit der Innenseite des Zwischenbodens 43 abgehoben werden. Dies bedeutet, dass der Rotor zwar noch rotiert, er aber keine Wirkung mehr erzeugt. Beide Kammern werden mit Wasser versorgt, und die Wasserstrahlen treten aus allen Strahlaustrittsöffnungen drei aus.The embodiment shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 differs from the previous embodiments in that the hub 6 formed on the side of the intermediate bottom 43 facing away from the jet disk 2 has a continuous opening here. The jet disk 2 also has an opening aligned with the hub 6. This opening is formed in a hub 61. Through the mutually aligned openings engages a thrust element 62 which contains a handle knob 63 on the outside of the jet disk 2. The thrust element 62 engages with its inner end in the bearing 64 of the rotor. By inserting the handle knob 63, the rotor can be raised so that the partial ring plates 50,51 are lifted from their contact with the inside of the intermediate bottom 43. This means that the rotor still rotates, but it no longer produces any effect. Both chambers are supplied with water, and the jets of water emerge from all Beam outlet three out.
Es ist möglich, die Ausführungsformen nach den Figuren 20 und 21 einerseits und nach Figur 22 und 23 andererseits in der Weise zu kombi- nieren, dass das Abheben des Rotors beispielsweise durch ein Verdrehen des Gehäuses gegenüber dem Wassereinlass 1 bewirkt wird, wobei dann gleichzeitig durch Änderung der Wasserführung auch die Rotation des Rotors eingestellt wird. It is possible to combine the embodiments according to FIGS. 20 and 21 on the one hand and according to FIGS. 22 and 23 on the other hand in such a way that the lifting of the rotor is effected, for example, by a rotation of the housing relative to the water inlet 1, wherein at the same time Changing the water flow also the rotation of the rotor is adjusted.
