Definitions
- the present invention relates to a Spüliganverteiler for a toilet bowl, in particular, the present invention relates to a Spüliganverteiler for a toilet bowl without flushing edge.
- the flushing of a toilet bowl can be done via a cistern or a Druck Hughessystem.
- various requirements are placed on the flushing of the toilet bowl in accordance with European standard E-N 997.
- a surface rinsing of the inner shell must be ensured and spillage (overspray) should be avoided.
- toilet bowls are used, for example, in the case of retrofitting with different cisterns, which in turn have different flushing currents.
- older flushing cisterns regularly have flushing flows in the range of 3 liters per second, and newer flushing cisterns have flushing flows of 2 to 2.4 liters per second.
- It has therefore been particularly problematic in WCs without flushing edge that due to the different flushing currents overspray can occur particularly easily, since the flushing rim can better catch higher flushing currents.
- the EP-A-0 643 177 describes a generic Spülwasserverteiler
- a rinse water dispenser having the features of claim 1.
- a rinsing flow throttle adapted to the flushing flow of the flushing cistern in the flushing water distributor, and to exchange this flushing flow restrictor if necessary (for example, change of the cistern) for another flushing flow restrictor.
- the fixing means of the flushing water distributor is designed to releasably but permanently fix the flushing flow restrictor in the flushing water distributor or to lock.
- the fixing means is formed by a latching mechanism, wherein preferably a hook or a groove of the flushing flow throttle positively (and / or non-positively) engages in a corresponding recess in the flushing water manifold.
- the toilet bowl is a toilet bowl without flushing edge.
- a toilet bowl without flushing rim is in the context of the present invention, a toilet bowl, in which a support for a toilet seat over the entire circumference extending overhang or overhang (so-called flushing edge), which has the upper edge of the Inner shell protruding inwards. It is obvious that the rinse water must be fed into the toilet bowl in a certain area of the inner shell, whereby this area may have an overhang to avoid splashes. However, such an overhang is preferably less than 30%, more preferably less than 10%, of the circumference of the rest for the toilet seat.
- the rinse water distributor has an elongated base body, wherein the base body is formed by an open hollow cylinder.
- the base body preferably has an annular retaining element (also called retaining ring), wherein the outer diameter of the hollow cylindrical base body and the outer diameter of the annular retaining element are the same size.
- the base body and retaining ring are integrally formed (integrated).
- the recess is arranged in the region of the retaining ring. In this recess, a correspondingly dimensioned flushing flow throttle can be locked permanently but releasably by means of a hook.
- the holding element has a plurality of recesses which are evenly distributed over the circumference of the holding element (azimuthally).
- the lateral surface of the main body preferably extends over an angle between 120 ° and 240 °, preferably between 160 ° and 200 ° and particularly preferably over an angle (azimuthal) of 180 °.
- the main body is formed in a particularly preferred embodiment by half a hollow cylinder.
- the rinse water distributor is formed symmetrically with respect to its longitudinal axis. The plane of symmetry of the rinse water distributor preferably runs perpendicular to the retaining ring, but along the normal vector of a circular surface formed by the retaining ring.
- the rinsing water distributor has a first and a second inner wall in the interior of the (open) hollow cylinder, which extend over almost the entire longitudinal extent of the rinsing water distributor and parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof.
- the first and the second inner wall in the region of a second end are angled or bent, wherein the respective bends extend laterally in opposite directions.
- the first inner wall and the second inner wall are spaced apart, so that between the first inner wall and the second inner wall, a first central Spülwasserkanal forms within the Spülwasserverteilers.
- a second and third Spülwasserkanal forms between the lateral surface of the Main body and the first inner wall or between the lateral surface of the base body and the second inner wall in each case a second and third Spülwasserkanal, wherein the second and third Spülwasserkanal each represent lateral Spülkanäle. Due to the angled or bent areas, the lateral flushing water channels generate a lateral surface flushing in the toilet bowl, whereas the central flushing water channel flushes a central area (based on the outflow).
- the rinse water distributor is at least partially made of a non-ceramic material, preferably at least partially made of plastic. It is particularly preferred that the rinse water manifold is made entirely of a non-ceramic material, preferably completely made of plastic. Furthermore, it is preferred that the rinse water distributor is formed in one piece. In particular, in the case of rimless WCs, it is conventionally known to use ceramic rinse water distributors.
- the corresponding outflow openings of the ceramic rinse water distributor have high material tolerances due to material and production, with very little uniformity with respect to the diameter of the outflow openings being achieved.
- the use of plastics can advantageously increase the uniformity of the outflow characteristics of the rinse water distributor.

- the flushing flow restrictor therefore has fixing means for releasably locking or reversible fixing in a flushing water distributor.
- the flushing flow throttle preferably has an annular base body with a projection, so that the annular base body can be pushed into an (open) hollow-cylindrical flushing water distributor to form a stop (projection).
- the flushing flow throttle has at least one hook-shaped element in the region of the annular base body, which can engage in a corresponding recess of the flushing water distributor. It is particularly preferred that the recess of the rinse water distributor has an angled region, so that the flushing flow restrictor inserted into the flushing water distributor in a fixed manner is fixed in a form-fitting manner by rotating the same permanently but releasably within the flushing water distributor. In order to make this permanent, but releasable fixation easy, it is provided that the purge flow throttle preferably has a handle.
- the handle of the Spülstromdrossel is formed so that it rises from (at least) a Verwirungsverminderungselement beyond the annular base in the flow direction, but does not extend over the corresponding segment in a direction transverse to the flow direction of the rinse water, so caused by the handle no turbulence.
- the handle is arranged in a central region of the flushing flow restrictor, since in this way a particularly simple handling during insertion and removal of the flushing flow restrictor can be ensured.
- a flushing water distributor for a toilet bowl in particular for a bowl rimless toilet bowl is disclosed, which ensures a particularly efficient and uniform rinsing of the toilet bowl while avoiding splashing.
- Another advantage of the rinsing water distributor according to the invention is that it is particularly compact and thus can be used efficiently in a dishwashing toilet bowl, which has no or a very small Spellerrand Scheme, which would be visually disadvantageous stretched rinse water manifold.
- the rinse water distributor has an open hollow-cylindrical base body, wherein a first and a second inner wall are arranged in the inner region of the base body. The two inner walls are parallel to each other and extend at a height corresponding to the height of the shell of the body.
- the rinse water distributor has at each of its ends in each case angled or bent areas. These bent or angled areas represent deflection devices for the purge flow.
- the first and second inner wall three channels are generated within the Spülwasserverteilers, namely a central, first channel between the first and second inner wall, and two lateral channels between the first inner wall and lateral surface or second inner wall and lateral surface.
- the angled or bent areas lead to a deflection of the purge flow of the lateral channels. It is envisaged that the bent or angled regions do not extend beyond the extent of the lateral surface. This allows a particularly efficient and compact design of Spülwasserverteilers be realized.
- the rinsing water distributor on the outside of the lateral surface in the region of the end, where the bent portions are located on a protruding outwardly from the lateral surface hook (or other connection element), which preferably the secure fixation of the rinse water distributor within of the toilet bowl.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Spülwasserverteiler für ein Toilettenbecken, insbesondere betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung einen Spülwasserverteiler für ein Toilettenbecken ohne Spülrand.The present invention relates to a Spülwasserverteiler for a toilet bowl, in particular, the present invention relates to a Spülwasserverteiler for a toilet bowl without flushing edge.
Die Spülung eines Toilettenbeckens kann über einen Spülkasten oder ein Druckspülsystem erfolgen. In jedem Fall werden an die zu erfolgende Spülung des Toilettenbeckens gemäß europäischer Norm E-N 997 diverse Anforderungen gestellt. Unter anderem muss eine flächige Ausspülung der Innenschale gewährleistet sowie ein Austreten von Spritzern (Überspritzen) vermieden werden. Diese Forderungen führen insbesondere bei Toilettenbecken ohne Spülrand zu einer erhöhten Anforderung an die Präzision bestimmter Bauteile wie beispielsweise dem Spülwasserverteiler.The flushing of a toilet bowl can be done via a cistern or a Druckspülsystem. In any case, various requirements are placed on the flushing of the toilet bowl in accordance with European standard E-N 997. Among other things, a surface rinsing of the inner shell must be ensured and spillage (overspray) should be avoided. These requirements lead in particular in toilet bowl without flushing edge to increased demands on the precision of certain components such as the rinse water distributor.
Ein besonderes Problem besteht darin, dass Toilettenbecken beispielsweise im Falle einer Nachrüstung mit unterschiedlichen Spülkästen verwendet werden, die ihrerseits unterschiedliche Spülströme aufweisen. So weisen ältere Spülkästen regelmäßig Spülströme im Bereich von 3 Litern je Sekunde und neuere Spülkästen Spülströme von 2 bis 2,4 Litern je Sekunde auf. Es hat sich daher insbesondere bei WCs ohne Spülrand problematisch gezeigt, dass aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Spülströme ein Überspritzen besonders leicht auftreten kann, da der Spülrand höhere Spülströme besser abfangen kann. Um dies, insbesondere bei Toilettenbecken ohne Spülrand, zu vermeiden, ist es herkömmlicherweise bekannt, in das jeweilige Toilettenbecken einen an den Spülstrom des jeweiligen Spülkastens angepassten Spülwasserverteiler einzusetzen. Dies macht es jedoch nachteilhafterweise erforderlich, für ein entsprechendes (spülrandloses) Toilettenbecken eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Spülwasserverteiler am Markt vorzuhalten, damit der jeweils passende Spülwasserverteiler entsprechend des Spülstroms des Spülkastens zum Einbau gelangen kann, wodurch ein Überspritzen vermieden werden kann. Hierdurch steigen die Produktionskosten des Toilettenbeckens.A particular problem is that toilet bowls are used, for example, in the case of retrofitting with different cisterns, which in turn have different flushing currents. For example, older flushing cisterns regularly have flushing flows in the range of 3 liters per second, and newer flushing cisterns have flushing flows of 2 to 2.4 liters per second. It has therefore been particularly problematic in WCs without flushing edge that due to the different flushing currents overspray can occur particularly easily, since the flushing rim can better catch higher flushing currents. To avoid this, especially in toilet bowl without flushing rim, it is conventionally known to use in the respective toilet bowl adapted to the flushing flow of the respective cistern flushing water distributor. However, this disadvantageously makes it necessary to provide a large number of different rinsing water distributors on the market for a corresponding (rimless) toilet bowl so that the respectively appropriate rinsing water distributor can be installed in accordance with the rinsing flow of the cistern, whereby overspray can be avoided. This increases the production costs of the toilet bowl.
Ein weiteres Problem spülrandloser Toilettenbecken besteht darin, dass auch bei angepasstem Spülwasserverteiler ein Überspritzen häufig nur schwer vermieden werden kann, da das einzuspülende Wasser, das vom Spülwasserzulauf über den fürAnother problem Spülblauflosen toilet bowl is that even with adapted Spülwasserverteiler overspray is often difficult to avoid, since the einzuspülende water, the rinsing water inlet on the for

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung einen Spülwasserverteiler für ein Toilettenbecken, insbesondere einen Spülwasserverteiler für ein Toilettenbecken ohne Spülrand anzugeben, das die vorgenannten Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a Spülwasserverteiler for a toilet bowl, in particular a Spülwasserverteiler for a toilet bowl without flushing edge, which overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art.
Gemäß einem ersten Aspekt der Erfindung einen Spülwasserverteiler offenbart, der die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.According to a first aspect of the invention, there is disclosed a rinse water dispenser having the features of claim 1.
Es ist somit erfindungsgemäß möglich, eine dem Spülstrom des Spülkastens angepasste Spülstromdrossel in den Spülwasserverteiler einzusetzen, und diese Spülstromdrossel bei Bedarf (beispielsweise Wechsel des Spülkastens) gegen eine andere Spülstromdrossel auszutauschen. Mit anderen Worten ist es möglich, unterschiedliche Spülstromdrosseln (mit unterschiedlich starker Spülstromdrosselwirkung) im Spülwasserverteiler dauerhaft, jedoch lösbar zu fixieren bzw. zu verriegeln (bei Bedarf) und aus dem Spülwasserverteiler wieder zu entfernen, ohne den Spülwasserverteiler hierbei zu beschädigen. Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung ist es sogar möglich, den Spülwasserverteiler in der bestimmungsgemäßen Position innerhalb des Toilettenbeckens zu belassen und die Spülstromdrossel in dieser bestimmungsgemäßen Position zu tauschen.It is thus possible according to the invention to use a rinsing flow throttle adapted to the flushing flow of the flushing cistern in the flushing water distributor, and to exchange this flushing flow restrictor if necessary (for example, change of the cistern) for another flushing flow restrictor. In other words, it is possible to permanently or detachably fix or lock different purge flow restrictors (with differently strong purge flow throttling effect) in the purge water manifold in the purge water manifold (if required) and remove them from the purge water manifold without damaging the purge water manifold. According to one aspect of the invention, it is even possible to leave the flushing water distributor in the intended position within the toilet bowl and to exchange the flushing flow restrictor in this intended position.
Das Fixierungsmittel des Spülwasserverteilers ist ausgebildet, die Spülstromdrossel lösbar, jedoch dauerhaft im Spülwasserverteiler zu fixieren bzw. zu verriegeln. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist das Fixierungsmittel durch einen Rastmechanismus ausgebildet, wobei vorzugsweise ein Haken oder eine Nut der Spülstromdrossel formschlüssig (und/oder kraftschlüssig) in eine korrespondierende Ausnehmung im Spülwasserverteiler eingreift.The fixing means of the flushing water distributor is designed to releasably but permanently fix the flushing flow restrictor in the flushing water distributor or to lock. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the fixing means is formed by a latching mechanism, wherein preferably a hook or a groove of the flushing flow throttle positively (and / or non-positively) engages in a corresponding recess in the flushing water manifold.
Vorzugsweise ist das Toilettenbecken ein Toilettenbecken ohne Spülrand. Ein Toilettenbecken ohne Spülrand ist im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Toilettenbecken, bei dem eine Auflage für einen Toilettensitz keinen über den gesamten Umfang verlaufenden Überstand oder Überhang (sogenannter Spülrand) aufweist, der den oberen Rand der Innenschale nach innen überragt. Es ist offensichtlich, dass das Spülwasser in einem bestimmten Bereich der Innenschale in das Toilettenbecken eingespeist werden muss, wobei dieser Bereich zur Vermeidung von Spritzern einen Überhang aufweisen kann. Jedoch beträgt ein solcher Überhang vorzugsweise kleiner als 30 %, besonders bevorzugt kleiner als 10 % des Umfangs der Auflage für den Toilettensitz.Preferably, the toilet bowl is a toilet bowl without flushing edge. A toilet bowl without flushing rim is in the context of the present invention, a toilet bowl, in which a support for a toilet seat over the entire circumference extending overhang or overhang (so-called flushing edge), which has the upper edge of the Inner shell protruding inwards. It is obvious that the rinse water must be fed into the toilet bowl in a certain area of the inner shell, whereby this area may have an overhang to avoid splashes. However, such an overhang is preferably less than 30%, more preferably less than 10%, of the circumference of the rest for the toilet seat.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass der Spülwasserverteiler einen länglichen Grundkörper aufweist, wobei der Grundkörper durch einen offenen Hohlzylinder ausgebildet ist. Weiterhin weist der Grundkörper vorzugsweise ein ringförmiges Halteelement (auch Haltering genannt) auf, wobei der Außendurchmesser des hohlzylinderförmigen Grundkörpers und der Außendurchmesser des ringförmigen Halteelements gleich groß sind. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante sind Grundkörper und Haltering einstückig (integriert) ausgebildet. Weiterhin ist es in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante vorgesehen, dass die Ausnehmung im Bereich des Halterings angeordnet ist. In dieser Ausnehmung kann eine entsprechend dimensionierte Spülstromdrossel mittels eines Hakens dauerhaft, jedoch lösbar arretiert werden.Furthermore, it is preferred that the rinse water distributor has an elongated base body, wherein the base body is formed by an open hollow cylinder. Furthermore, the base body preferably has an annular retaining element (also called retaining ring), wherein the outer diameter of the hollow cylindrical base body and the outer diameter of the annular retaining element are the same size. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the base body and retaining ring are integrally formed (integrated). Furthermore, it is provided in a preferred embodiment that the recess is arranged in the region of the retaining ring. In this recess, a correspondingly dimensioned flushing flow throttle can be locked permanently but releasably by means of a hook.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist es vorgesehen, dass das Halteelement eine Vielzahl von Ausnehmungen aufweist, die gleichmäßig über den Umfang des Halteelements (azimutal) verteilt sind. Die Mantelfläche des Grundkörpers erstreckt sich vorzugsweise über einen Winkel zwischen 120° und 240°, bevorzugt zwischen 160° und 200° und besonders bevorzugt über einen Winkel (azimutal) von 180°. Mit anderen Worten wird der Grundkörper in einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante durch einen halben Hohlzylinder ausgebildet. Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass der Spülwasserverteiler symmetrisch bezüglich seiner Längsachse ausgebildet ist. Die Symmetrieebene des Spülwasserverteilers verläuft vorzugsweise senkrecht zum Haltering, jedoch entlang des Normalenvektors einer durch den Haltering gebildeten Kreisfläche.In a further preferred embodiment, it is provided that the holding element has a plurality of recesses which are evenly distributed over the circumference of the holding element (azimuthally). The lateral surface of the main body preferably extends over an angle between 120 ° and 240 °, preferably between 160 ° and 200 ° and particularly preferably over an angle (azimuthal) of 180 °. In other words, the main body is formed in a particularly preferred embodiment by half a hollow cylinder. Furthermore, it is preferred that the rinse water distributor is formed symmetrically with respect to its longitudinal axis. The plane of symmetry of the rinse water distributor preferably runs perpendicular to the retaining ring, but along the normal vector of a circular surface formed by the retaining ring.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante weist der Spülwasserverteiler im Inneren des (offenen) Hohlzylinders eine erste und eine zweite Innenwand auf, die sich nahezu über die gesamte Längserstreckung des Spülwasserverteilers und parallel zur Längsache desselben erstrecken. Vorzugsweise sind die erste und die zweite Innenwand im Bereich eines zweiten Endes abgewinkelt bzw. abgebogen, wobei sich die jeweiligen Abwinkelungen seitlich in jeweils gegenüberliegende Richtungen erstrecken. Vorzugsweise sind die erste Innenwand und die zweite Innenwand voneinander beabstandet, sodass sich zwischen erster Innenwand und zweiter Innenwand ein erster zentraler Spülwasserkanal innerhalb des Spülwasserverteilers ausbildet. Weiterhin bildet sich zwischen der Mantelfläche des Grundkörpers und der ersten Innenwand bzw. zwischen der Mantelfläche des Grundkörpers und der zweiten Innenwand jeweils ein zweiter und dritter Spülwasserkanal aus, wobei der zweite und dritte Spülwasserkanal jeweils seitliche Spülkanäle darstellen. Durch die abgewinkelten bzw. abgebogenen Bereiche erzeugen die seitlichen Spülwasserkanäle eine seitliche Flächenspülung im Toilettenbecken, wohingegen der zentrale Spülwasserkanal einen zentralen Bereich (bezogen auf den Ausfluss) spült.In a further preferred embodiment variant, the rinsing water distributor has a first and a second inner wall in the interior of the (open) hollow cylinder, which extend over almost the entire longitudinal extent of the rinsing water distributor and parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof. Preferably, the first and the second inner wall in the region of a second end are angled or bent, wherein the respective bends extend laterally in opposite directions. Preferably, the first inner wall and the second inner wall are spaced apart, so that between the first inner wall and the second inner wall, a first central Spülwasserkanal forms within the Spülwasserverteilers. Furthermore, it forms between the lateral surface of the Main body and the first inner wall or between the lateral surface of the base body and the second inner wall in each case a second and third Spülwasserkanal, wherein the second and third Spülwasserkanal each represent lateral Spülkanäle. Due to the angled or bent areas, the lateral flushing water channels generate a lateral surface flushing in the toilet bowl, whereas the central flushing water channel flushes a central area (based on the outflow).
Um eine besonders kompakte Integration des Spülwasserverteilers im (spülrandlosen) Toilettenbecken erreichen zu können, ist es vorgesehen, dass sich die abgebogenen bzw. abgewinkelten Bereiche der Innenwände nicht über den Umfang der Mantelfläche hinaus erstrecken. In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist es vorgesehen, dass der Spülwasserverteiler zumindest teilweise aus einem nicht-keramischen Material, bevorzugt zumindest teilweise aus Kunststoff ausgebildet ist. Es ist besonders bevorzugt, dass der Spülwasserverteiler vollständig aus einem nicht-keramischen Material, bevorzugt vollständig aus Kunststoff ausgebildet ist. Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass der Spülwasserverteiler einstückig ausgebildet wird. Insbesondere bei spülrandlosen WCs ist es herkömmlicherweise bekannt, keramische Spülwasserverteiler zu verwenden. Die entsprechenden Ausflussöffnungen der keramischen Spülwasserverteiler weisen material- und fertigungsbedingt hohe Toleranzen auf, wobei eine sehr geringe Uniformität bezüglich des Durchmessers der Ausflussöffnungen erreicht wird. Durch die Verwendung von Kunststoffen kann die Uniformität der Ausflusseigenschaften des Spülwasserverteilers vorteilhafterweise erhöht werden.In order to be able to achieve a particularly compact integration of the rinsing water distributor in the (rimless) toilet bowl, it is provided that the bent or angled regions of the inner walls do not extend beyond the circumference of the lateral surface. In a further preferred embodiment, it is provided that the rinse water distributor is at least partially made of a non-ceramic material, preferably at least partially made of plastic. It is particularly preferred that the rinse water manifold is made entirely of a non-ceramic material, preferably completely made of plastic. Furthermore, it is preferred that the rinse water distributor is formed in one piece. In particular, in the case of rimless WCs, it is conventionally known to use ceramic rinse water distributors. The corresponding outflow openings of the ceramic rinse water distributor have high material tolerances due to material and production, with very little uniformity with respect to the diameter of the outflow openings being achieved. The use of plastics can advantageously increase the uniformity of the outflow characteristics of the rinse water distributor.
Vorzugsweise ist der Kunststoff ein thermoplastischer Kunststoff. Besonders bevorzugt ist der Kunststoff Polystyrol.Preferably, the plastic is a thermoplastic. The plastic is particularly preferably polystyrene.
Alternativ ist es möglich, dass der Spülwasserverteiler zumindest teilweise (bevorzugt vollständig) aus anderen nicht-keramischen Materialien, beispielsweise aus Metall ausgebildet ist.Alternatively, it is possible for the rinse water distributor to be formed at least partially (preferably completely) from other non-ceramic materials, for example from metal.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung wird ein spülrandloses Toilettenbecken offenbart, das einen Spülwasserverteiler aufweist, wobei der Spülwasserverteiler mindestens teilweise aus einem nicht-keramischen Material, bevorzugt zumindest teilweise Kunststoff ausgebildet ist. In einer besonders bevorzugten Variante ist der Spülwasserverteiler vollständig aus einem nicht-keramischen Material, bevorzugt vollständig Kunststoff ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise ist der Kunststoff ein thermoplastischer Kunststoff. Vorzugsweise ist der Kunststoff Polystyrol. Vorzugsweise ist der Spülwasserverteiler einstückig ausgebildet. Als spülrandloses Toilettenbecken wird im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Toilettenbecken verstanden, dessen (obere) Auflagefläche (für einen Sitz) keine nach innen gerichtete Überragung (bzw. Überwölbung bzw. Überstand) aufweist bzw. eine solche Überragung lediglich in dem Bereich vorhanden ist, in dem sich der Spülwasserverteiler befindet. Das bedeutet, dass eine (obere) Auflagefläche (für einen Sitz) zumindest keine (vollständig) umlaufende nach innen gerichtete Überragung aufweist. Insbesondere ist es bevorzugt, dass eine ggf. (im Bereich eines Spülwasserverteilers) vorhandene nach innen gerichtete Überragung höchstens 50 %, bevorzugter höchstens in 20 % der Erstreckung des Umfangs der Innenschale vorhanden ist.According to a further aspect of the invention, a dishwashing toilet bowl is disclosed, which has a rinse water distributor, wherein the rinse water distributor is at least partially made of a non-ceramic material, preferably at least partially plastic. In a particularly preferred variant of the rinse water manifold is completely made of a non-ceramic material, preferably completely plastic. Preferably, the plastic is a thermoplastic. Preferably, the plastic is polystyrene. Preferably, the rinse water manifold is integrally formed. For the purposes of the present invention, a dishwashing toilet bowl is understood to mean a toilet bowl whose (upper) contact surface (for a seat) has no inwardly directed projection (or overhang or overhang) or such a projection is present only in the region the flushing water distributor is located. This means that an (upper) bearing surface (for a seat) has at least no (completely) circumferential inward-facing projection. In particular, it is preferred that an inwardly directed transfer (optionally in the region of a rinse water distributor) present at most 50%, more preferably at most 20%, of the extent of the circumference of the inner shell is present.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung wird eine Spülstromdrossel für einen Spülwasserverteiler offenbart, wobei die Spülstromdrossel derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie in einen Spülwasserverteiler reversibel (lösbar), jedoch dauerhaft fixiert werden kann und somit ohne Beschädigung der Spülstromdrossel bzw. des Spülwasserverteilers zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt wieder aus dem Spülwasserverteiler herausgenommen werden kann. Dies hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass bei einem Wechsel des Spülkastens nicht der gesamte Spülwasserverteiler, sondern lediglich die Spülstromdrossel getauscht werden muss. Die Spülstromdrossel weist daher Fixierungsmittel zur lösbaren Verriegelung bzw. reversiblen Fixierung in einem Spülwasserverteiler auf. Vorzugsweise weist die Spülstromdrossel einen ringförmigen Grundkörper mit einem Überstand aus, sodass der ringförmige Grundkörper in einen (offenen) hohlzylinderförmigen Spülwasserverteiler zu einem Anschlag (Überstand) eingeschoben werden kann.According to a further aspect of the invention, a flushing flow restrictor for a flushing water distributor is disclosed, wherein the flushing flow restrictor is designed such that it can be reversibly (detachably) but permanently fixed in a flushing water distributor and thus without damaging the flushing flow restrictor or the flushing water distributor at a later time can be taken out of the rinse water manifold again. This has the particular advantage that when changing the cistern not the entire Spülwasserverteiler, but only the Spülstromdrossel must be replaced. The flushing flow restrictor therefore has fixing means for releasably locking or reversible fixing in a flushing water distributor. The flushing flow throttle preferably has an annular base body with a projection, so that the annular base body can be pushed into an (open) hollow-cylindrical flushing water distributor to form a stop (projection).
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass die Spülstromdrossel im Bereich des ringförmigen Grundkörpers mindestens ein hakenförmiges Element aufweist, das in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung des Spülwasserverteilers eingreifen kann. Es ist besonders bevorzugt, dass die Ausnehmung des Spülwasserverteilers einen abgewinkelten Bereich aufweist, sodass die auf Anschlag in die Spülwasserverteiler eingeschobene Spülstromdrossel durch Drehung derselben dauerhaft, jedoch lösbar innerhalb des Spülwasserverteilers formschlüssig fixiert ist. Um diese dauerhafte, jedoch lösbare Fixierung einfach vornehmen zu können, ist es vorgesehen, dass die Spülstromdrossel vorzugsweise einen Griff aufweist.Furthermore, it is preferred that the flushing flow throttle has at least one hook-shaped element in the region of the annular base body, which can engage in a corresponding recess of the flushing water distributor. It is particularly preferred that the recess of the rinse water distributor has an angled region, so that the flushing flow restrictor inserted into the flushing water distributor in a fixed manner is fixed in a form-fitting manner by rotating the same permanently but releasably within the flushing water distributor. In order to make this permanent, but releasable fixation easy, it is provided that the purge flow throttle preferably has a handle.
Es sind innerhalb des ringförmigen Grundkörpers der Spülstromdrossel eine Vielzahl von Segmenten angeordnet, die einerseits eine Drosselung des Spülstroms hervorrufen und andererseits Verwirbelungen im Spülstrom eliminieren bzw. vermindern. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist die Vielzahl von Segmenten umlaufend homogen (azimutal, uniform) angeordnet. Durch die entsprechenden Segmente (nachfolgend auch als Verwirbelungsminderungselemente bezeichnet) wird der Spülstrom homogenisiert und entsprechend vorhandene Verwirbelungen vermindert bzw. eliminiert. Es ist besonders bevorzugt, dass der Griff der Spülstromdrossel derart ausgebildet ist, dass er sich von (mindestens) einem Verwirbelungsverminderungselement über das ringförmige Grundelement in Flussrichtung hinaus erhebt, sich jedoch über das entsprechende Segment nicht in einer Richtung quer zur Flussrichtung des Spülwassers erstreckt, sodass durch den Griff keine Verwirbelungen verursacht werden. Vorzugsweise ist der Griff in einem zentralen Bereich der Spülstromdrossel angeordnet, da hierdurch eine besonders einfache Handhabung beim Einsetzen und Herausnehmen der Spülstromdrossel gewährleistet werden kann.There are a plurality of segments disposed within the annular body of the Spülstromdrossel, on the one hand cause a throttling of the purge stream and on the other hand eliminating or reducing turbulence in the purge stream. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the Variety of segments arranged circumferentially homogeneous (azimuthal, uniform). Through the corresponding segments (hereinafter also referred to as Verwirbelungsminderungselemente) of the purge stream is homogenized and correspondingly reduced or eliminated vortexes. It is particularly preferred that the handle of the Spülstromdrossel is formed so that it rises from (at least) a Verwirungsverminderungselement beyond the annular base in the flow direction, but does not extend over the corresponding segment in a direction transverse to the flow direction of the rinse water, so caused by the handle no turbulence. Preferably, the handle is arranged in a central region of the flushing flow restrictor, since in this way a particularly simple handling during insertion and removal of the flushing flow restrictor can be ensured.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung wird ein Spülwasserverteiler für ein Toilettenbecken, insbesondere für ein spülrandloses Toilettenbecken offenbart, der bei Vermeidung von Spritzern eine besonders effiziente und gleichmäßige Ausspülung des Toilettenbeckens gewährleistet. Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Spülwasserverteilers besteht darin, dass dieser besonders kompakt ausgebildet ist und somit effizient in ein spülrandloses Toilettenbecken eingesetzt werden kann, das über keinen bzw. einen sehr geringen Spülrandbereich verfügt, weshalb stark ausgedehnte Spülwasserverteiler optisch nachteilhaft wären. Der Spülwasserverteiler weist einen offenen hohlzylinderförmigen Grundkörper auf, wobei im inneren Bereich des Grundkörpers eine erste und eine zweite Innenwand angeordnet sind. Die beiden Innenwände verlaufen parallel zueinander und erstrecken sich in einer Höhe, die der Höhe des Mantels des Grundkörpers entspricht. Das bedeutet, dass die oberen Kanten der Innenwände vorzugsweise mit den Kanten der Mantelfläche des Grundkörpers in einer Ebene liegen. Der Spülwasserverteiler weist an einem seiner Enden jeweils abgewinkelte oder abgebogene Bereiche auf. Diese abgebogenen bzw. abgewinkelten Bereiche stellen Umlenkvorrichtungen für den Spülstrom dar. Durch die erste und zweite Innenwand werden innerhalb des Spülwasserverteilers drei Kanäle erzeugt, nämlich ein zentraler, erster Kanal zwischen erster und zweiter Innenwand, sowie zwei seitliche Kanäle zwischen erster Innenwand und Mantelfläche bzw. zweiter Innenwand und Mantelfläche. Die abgewinkelten bzw. abgebogenen Bereiche führen zu einer Umlenkung des Spülstroms der seitlichen Kanäle. Es ist vorgesehen, dass sich die abgebogenen bzw. abgewinkelten Bereiche nicht über die Ausdehnung der Mantelfläche hinaus erstrecken. Dadurch kann eine besonders effiziente und kompakte Bauweise des Spülwasserverteilers realisiert werden.According to a further aspect of the invention, a flushing water distributor for a toilet bowl, in particular for a bowl rimless toilet bowl is disclosed, which ensures a particularly efficient and uniform rinsing of the toilet bowl while avoiding splashing. Another advantage of the rinsing water distributor according to the invention is that it is particularly compact and thus can be used efficiently in a dishwashing toilet bowl, which has no or a very small Spülrandbereich, which would be visually disadvantageous stretched rinse water manifold. The rinse water distributor has an open hollow-cylindrical base body, wherein a first and a second inner wall are arranged in the inner region of the base body. The two inner walls are parallel to each other and extend at a height corresponding to the height of the shell of the body. This means that the upper edges of the inner walls are preferably in one plane with the edges of the lateral surface of the main body. The rinse water distributor has at each of its ends in each case angled or bent areas. These bent or angled areas represent deflection devices for the purge flow. Through the first and second inner wall, three channels are generated within the Spülwasserverteilers, namely a central, first channel between the first and second inner wall, and two lateral channels between the first inner wall and lateral surface or second inner wall and lateral surface. The angled or bent areas lead to a deflection of the purge flow of the lateral channels. It is envisaged that the bent or angled regions do not extend beyond the extent of the lateral surface. This allows a particularly efficient and compact design of Spülwasserverteilers be realized.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante weist der Spülwasserverteiler auf der Außenseite der Mantelfläche im Bereich des Endes, an dem sich die abgebogenen Bereiche befinden, einen nach außen von der Mantelfläche abstehenden Haken (oder ein anderes Verbindungselement) auf, welches vorzugsweise die sichere Fixierung des Spülwasserverteilers innerhalb des Toilettenbeckens ermöglicht. Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass der Spülwasserverteiler an einem den abgebogenen Bereichen gegenüberliegenden Ende des Grundkörpers einen Haltering aufweist, in den eine entsprechend ringförmig ausgebildete Spülstromdrossel lösbar fixiert werden kann. Insbesondere ist es bevorzugt, dass im Bereich des Halterings mindestens eine Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist, in die eine entsprechende Nut bzw. ein entsprechender Haken einer Spülstromdrossel eingerastet bzw. eingehakt werden kann. Besonders bevorzugt ist es, dass die Ausnehmung eine Abwinklung aufweist, sodass durch Verdrehen der Spülstromdrossel ein besonders sicherer Sitz der Spülstromdrossel im Spülwasserverteiler erreicht werden kann.In a further preferred embodiment, the rinsing water distributor on the outside of the lateral surface in the region of the end, where the bent portions are located on a protruding outwardly from the lateral surface hook (or other connection element), which preferably the secure fixation of the rinse water distributor within of the toilet bowl. Furthermore, it is preferred that the rinsing water distributor has a retaining ring at an end of the base body opposite the bent regions, into which a corresponding annularly designed flushing flow throttle can be detachably fixed. In particular, it is preferred that at least one recess is provided in the region of the retaining ring, into which a corresponding groove or a corresponding hook of a flushing flow throttle can be snapped or hooked. It is particularly preferred that the recess has an angled portion, so that a particularly secure fit of the flushing flow restrictor in the flushing water distributor can be achieved by turning the flushing flow restrictor.
