The swivel tube has a rotating pin disposed in a socket of the supply channel in the likeness of a ball and socket joint. A sealing element in the likeness of a hollow cylinder is secured to the mouth of the swivel tube opposite the discharge channels and slides in a cylindrical guide running concentrically to the outer surface of the housing. - Another water switch known from
DE-A-10133130 includes a rotating slider disposed in a pressure chamber of a circulating pump before branching pressure connections. The water switch blocks and releases the pressure connections for washing liquid. A gear drive for the rotating slider is arranged outside and inside the pressure chamber. The rotating slider in question is formed by a cylindrical component, in the cylindrical wall of which one or more apertures are located between one and a number of movable closing elements with a valve function. The apertures and the closing elements are configured in their relative position to the pressure connections, which form the water supply and/or water discharge connections, such that depending on the rotation of the rotating slider, the pressure connections opposite its cylinder wall are released or blocked in a sealing manner. - Accordingly, a need exists for a water switch of a water-bearing appliance, for blocking or releasing at least one water supply path to one of several water discharge paths, the water switch being cost efficient in production, being easy to switch, and providing an effective water flow control for the water-bearing appliance associated therewith.

Further, a guiding mechanism is provided for guiding an axial movement along the axis of the water distribution element when the water distribution element rotates from the first angular position to the second angular position. The axial movement of the water distribution element, in particular, takes place while the water switch is unpressurized. ln order to prevent the water distribution element from moving back after its rotation from one angular position to the next angular position, in particular, a reverse-look is provided. The water distribution element may serve to connect one or several water supply paths to one or several different water discharge paths and/or to interconnect several water discharge paths.
- Preferably the guiding mechanism includes at least one cylindrical portion being guided in a respective tubular portion surrounding the at least one cylindrical portion, and/or wherein further, in particular, the at least one cylindrical portion is connected to an armature of an associated magnetic coil.

- Further preferred, several pairs of a first ramp portion and a respective second ramp portion, in particular, 8 pairs of a first ramp portion and a respective second ramp portion, are circumferentially distributed, and in particular, evenly circumferentially distributed, around a cylindrical portion of the guiding mechanism.
- In a further preferred embodiment, the number of pairs of a first ramp portion and a respective second ramp portion equals the number of water discharge paths.
- ln accordance with a preferred aspect of the invention the number of pairs of a first ramp portion and a respective second ramp portion is larger than the number of water discharge paths, whereby at least at one angular position of the water distribution element the respective water discharge is closed.
- In accordance with yet another preferred aspect of the invention at least one first pair of a first ramp portion and a respective second ramp portion and at least one second pair of a first ramp portion and a respective second ramp portion are located on two opposite faces of the water distribution element. Each of the two pairs of a first ramp portion and a respective second ramp portion generates a part of the necessary torque for moving the water distribution element along its travel from the first angular position to the second angular position.
- In accordance with still another preferred aspect of the invention the at least one first pair of a first ramp portion and a respective second ramp portion at one face of the water distribution element generates about one half of the rotary movement of the water distributing element, and the at least one second pair of a first ramp portion and a respective second ramp portion at the opposite face of the water distribution element generates about the second half of the rotary movement of the water distributing element.
- Finally, in a further preferred embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the guiding mechanism includes a spring, in particular a helical spring, biasing the water distribution element in the direction of the several water discharge paths, and/or wherein further, in particular, the spring surrounds a cylindrical portion of the guiding mechanism.
- The water switch apparatus according to the invention can be switched with very low expenditure of energy, because the water distribution element associated therewith does not only rotate from a first angular position to at least one second angular position but also does an axial movement during this rotational movement. With this axial movement the water distribution element can be lifted off a sealing element located at the passage opening of the water distribution element.
- The sealing element helps providing a water tight passageway through the water switch. Further, the sealing element is suitable for sealing a water passage opening which extends through a flat rotating disk in respect to water discharge lines opposite said flat rotating disk.

pin 34 protrudes from the disk. The snap-inpin 34 is adapted to embrace the cylindrical hollow body 26 in order to hold the magnetic coil 12 on thecylindrical housing portion 32. - Two
notches 36 project radially at one of two diametrical positions of the outer range of the disk-shape housing shell. Thesenotches 36 are provided for a watertight connection of thelower housing portion 20 to theupper housing portion 14 as it is shown inFig. 2 . - Eight
first ramp portions 38 and adjacentfirst recess portions 40 are surrounding thecylindrical housing portion 32 at the inner center of the housing shell of theupper housing portion 14. Eachramp portion 40 is made of aramp surface 42 which is skewed relative to said axis. Theramp surface 42 is positioned in an angel relative to the axis of about 40 degrees to 60 degrees, preferably 50 degrees. Theramp surface 42 terminates at aramp edge 44, which is formed by a smaller andsteeper counter ramp 46. Theramp edge 44 is rather dull. Thefirst recess portions 40 are limited by parallel sidewalls forming a type of slot into which a second ramp portion facing the first ramp portion can be inserted, as will be explained later. - The
water distribution element 18 is shown in detail inFig. 11 to 15 . It is made of plastic or synthetic materials, too. Thewater distribution element 18 is formed like a circular disc, which has eight water distribution positions 48 on its disk-face. Thewater distribution positions 48 are located with equal distances along a circle on the face. One of the water distribution positions 48 is open, including apassage opening 50 which permeates the disk. The seven remainingwater distribution positions 48 are closed. - At each water distribution position 48 a sealing
ring 52 is provided at the lower side of the disk of thewater distribution element 18. One of these sealing rings 52 is located at amargin 54 of thepassage opening 50. The other sealing rings 52 are fixed to the disk by means ofpins 56 protruding through respective openings in the disk. - A first
cylindrical portion 58 protrudes at the central area of the disk-shape and carries a rod-shapedarmature 60 made from iron or ferro-magnetic material. Thearmature 60 elongates the firstcylindrical portion 58 along the axis. When mounting thewater distribution element 18 into theupper housing portion 14, thearmature 60 dives into thecylindrical housing portion 32 and into the cylindrical hollow body 26 of the magnetic coil 12. - Eight
second ramp portions 62 andadjacent recess portions 64 are surrounding the firstcylindrical portion 58. Thesesecond ramp portions 62 are also formed by ramp surfaces sloping relative to the axis with an angel of between 40 degrees and 60 degrees, preferably of 50 degrees, a respective ramp edge and an associated smaller counter ramp. The ramp surfaces of thesecond ramp portions 62 are positioned in a manner for sliding along the ramp surfaces 42 of thefirst ramp portions 38 when thewater distribution element 18 moves in an axial direction, and further for diving into the respectivefirst recess portions 40 after the ramp surfaces have left the phase of sliding contact. - Around these
second ramp portions 62 eight throughholes 66 are located in the disk of thewater distribution element 18 serving as hydraulic flow compensation during movement of thewater distribution element 18 in axial direction. - Two latches 68 are located in a tangential manner at two diametrical positions of an
outer margin 70 of the disk-shape of thewater distribution element 18. These latches 68 help to ensure that thewater distribution element 18 can only rotate on one direction. - On the lower face of the disk-shape of the water distribution element 18 a guiding
pin 72 projects axially and forms a second cylindrical portion. The guidingpin 72 haslongitudinal slots 74 on this lateral surface which also leads into the firstcylindrical portion 58 and into thearmature 60 providing further water compensation. - The second cylindrical portion formed by the guiding
pin 72 is surrounded by eightfirst ramp portions 76 and adjacentfirst recess portions 78. Theseramp portions 76 andrecess portions 78 correspond to thosefirst ramp portions 38 andfirst recess portions 40 mentioned above, but they are offset in the circumferential direction by nearly the angular width of thefirst ramp portions 38. - The cupular
lower housing portion 20 is depicted in further detail inFig. 5 to 7 . It is also made of plastic or another synthetic material by injection molding and includes a sealing edge or sealingring 80 at its upper circular edge. Twonotch catchers 82, each for clamping one of thenotches 36, project radially at two diametrical positions of the outer sidewall of thelower housing portion 20. - The bottom of the
lower housing portion 20 provides eight water discharge positions 84 located with equal distances along a circle on the inner face of the bottom. Oneposition 86 of these water discharge positions 84 is closed; the remaining seven positions are open. They have respectivewater discharge paths 88 in the form of a discharge connection tube connected therewith. - Further, at the inner surface of the sidewall of the cup-shaped or cupular
lower housing portion 20 sixteenlatch ramps 90 are formed. These latch ramps 90 are designed so that thelatches 68 of thewater distribution element 18 can slide along. - A guiding
cylinder 92 accommodates the guidingpin 72 and projects in the center of the bottom to the outside of thelower housing portion 20. At the center of the inside of the bottom eightsecond ramp portions 94 and adjacentsecond recess portions 96 surround the opening leading into the guidingcylinder 92. - During operation of the
water switch 10, the magnetic coil 12 pulls thearmature 60 and thewater distribution element 18 connected therewith in the direction of theupper housing portion 14 and biases thespring 16. While moving axially, thefirst ramp portions 38 and thesecond ramp portions 62 contact each other and start to work as a guiding mechanism by sliding along each other. The sliding process provides a torque which starts to rotate thewater distribution element 18 from its starting first angular position to the direction of a next second angular position. These positions are those of the water distribution positions 48 mentioned above. The sliding of theramp portions 38 andsecond ramp portions 62 provide half of the travel from the first angular position to the second angular position. - The second half of the travel is provided, when the magnetic coil 12 stops pulling the
armature 60 and thespring 16 pushes thewater distribution element 18 back along the axis in its previous axial position. While moving back axially, thefirst ramp potions 76 now come into contact with thesecond ramp portions 94 in order to slide along each other and in order to turn thewater distribution element 18 further along the second half of the travel. - At the end of the travel, the sealing rings 52 come into contact with respective
water discharge paths 88 again. While seven of the discharge paths are closed by means of thewater distribution element 18 in this manner, one path through thepassage opening 50 is open. -
