Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Sanitärarmatur, insbesondere eine Waschtisch- oder Küchenarmatur nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, die u.a. ein Armaturengehäuse mit einem Wasserzutritt und einem Wasseraustritt umfasst.The invention relates to a sanitary fitting, in particular a washbasin or kitchen fitting according to the preamble of claim 1, which u.a. comprises a valve body with a water inlet and a water outlet.

Aus der Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2006 042 626 A1 ist eine Sanitärarmatur bekannt, die ein Armaturengehäuse und eine Mischerkartusche aufweist. Von dem Armaturengehäuse ragt ein Auslauf zur Abgabe von Mischwasser über ein Waschbecken ab. Der Auslauf weist zwei verschiedene Auslauföffnungen auf. Um von der einen auf die andere Auslauföffnung umzuschalten, wird der Auslauf horizontal verschwenkt.From the publication DE 10 2006 042 626 A1 a sanitary fitting is known which has a valve body and a mixer cartridge. From the fitting housing protrudes a spout for dispensing mixed water through a sink. The outlet has two different outlet openings. To switch from one to the other outlet opening, the spout is pivoted horizontally.

Die Offenlegungsschrift 2011/0147490 A1 offenbart eine Sanitärarmatur der eingangs genannten Art in Form einer Duschkopfarmatur mit einem Handgriffteil und einem an diesem schwenkbeweglich angeordneten Auslaufkörper, der zwei getrennte Wasserführungen mit unterschiedlichen Strahlformkörpern aufweist, die sich auf voneinander abgewandten Seiten des Auslaufkörpers befinden. Durch Verschwenken des Auslaufkörpers kann jeweils eine der beiden Wasserführungen mit ihrem zugehörigen Strahlformkörper mit einem Wasserauslauf des Handgriffs in Fluidverbindung gebracht werden.The publication 2011/0147490 A1 discloses a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned in the form of a shower head fitting with a handle portion and a pivotally mounted on this outlet body, which has two separate water guides with different jet bodies, which are located on opposite sides of the outlet body. By pivoting the discharge body, in each case one of the two water guides can be brought into fluid communication with its associated jet molding with a water outlet of the handle.

In ähnlicher Weise ist bei einem sanitären Brausekopf, wie er in der Offenlegungsschrift FR 2 272 742 A1 offenbart ist, ein austrittsseitiges Kappenteil drehbeweglich an einer rohrförmigen Anschlussbüchse gehalten und besitzt eine Wasserführung mit einer zentrischen Austrittsöffnung für einen Vollstrahl und eine Wasserführung mit einer Mehrzahl konzentrischer Austrittsöffnungen für ein Wasserstrahlenbündel. Durch Verdrehen des Kappenteils um 180° kann die eine oder die andere Wasserführung in Fluidverbindung mit einer Austrittsöffnung der Anschlussbüchse gebracht werden.Similarly, in a sanitary shower head, as in the published patent application FR 2 272 742 A1 discloses an outlet-side cap member rotatably supported on a tubular connecting sleeve and has a water guide with a central outlet opening for a full jet and a water guide with a plurality of concentric outlet openings for a water jet. By turning the cap member by 180 °, one or the other water guide can be brought into fluid communication with an outlet opening of the connection box.

In der Offenlegungsschrift EP 2 301 670 A1 ist ein Brausekopf mit einem axialbeweglich an einem Brausestrahlgehäuse gehaltenen Strahlscheibenkern, der größere Massagestrahlöffnungen aufweist, und einem drehbeweglich am Brausestrahlgehäuse gehaltenen Strahlscheibenring, der kleinere Strahlenaustrittsöffnungen aufweist, offenbart, wobei über eine Kulissenmechanik durch Drehen des Strahlscheibenrings eine Axialbewegung des Strahlscheibenkerns bewirkt wird. Durch die Axialbewegung des Strahlscheibenkerns kann eine Fluidverbindung zu den Strahlaustrittsöffnungen des Strahlscheibenrings wahlweise abgesperrt oder geöffnet werden. Als eine Alternative ist erwähnt, zum Einschalten der verschiedenen Strahlscheibenbereiche nicht nur den Strahlscheibenkern, sondern die Strahlscheibe insgesamt axial verschiebbar anzuordnen.In the published patent application EP 2 301 670 A1 is a shower head with an axially movably held on a shower spray housing jet disk core having larger massage jet openings, and a rotatably held on the spray jet housing jet disk ring having smaller beam exit openings, discloses wherein via a link mechanism by rotating the jet disk ring, an axial movement of the jet disk core is effected. Due to the axial movement of the jet disk core, a fluid connection to the jet outlet openings of the jet disk ring can optionally be shut off or opened. As an alternative is mentioned, to turn on the different jet disk areas not only the jet disk core, but to arrange the jet disk as a whole axially displaceable.

Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, eine Sanitärarmatur der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die in einer vorteilhaften Weise in der Lage ist, zugeführtes Fluid nach Wahl in wenigstens zwei unterschiedlichen Strahlformen abzugeben.The invention is based on the technical problem to provide a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned, which is in an advantageous manner able to deliver supplied fluid of choice in at least two different beam shapes.

Die Erfindung löst dieses technische Problem durch die Bereitstellung einer Sanitärarmatur mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte sowie bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der weiteren Ansprüche. Der Wortlaut der Ansprüche wird durch ausdrückliche Bezugnahme hiermit zum Inhalt der Beschreibung gemacht.The invention solves this technical problem by providing a sanitary fitting with the features of claim 1. Advantageous and preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the other claims. The terms of the claims are hereby incorporated by express reference.

Die erfindungsgemäße Sanitärarmatur weist einen Strahlwähler auf, der stromabwärts des Wasseraustritts des Armaturengehäuses verlagerbar gehalten ist und wenigstens zwei unterschiedliche Strahlformkörper enthält, die durch eine Bedienbewegung des Strahlwählers wahlweise in oder außer Fluidverbindung mit dem Wasseraustritt zu bringen sind. Durch die Bedienbewegung des Strahlwählers wird somit ein ausgewählter Strahlformkörper in eine Position gebracht, in der er von einem Fluidstrom durchströmt werden kann. Vorteilhaft ist hierbei, dass der Strahlwähler aus relativ einfachen Bauteilen bestehen und kompakt gebaut werden kann. So kann der Strahlwähler beispielsweise ein plattenförmiges oder zylindrisches Bauteil sein, das in einer Führung des Armaturengehäuses verlagerbar ist. Der Strahlwähler wird zur Anwahl eines gewünschten Strahlformkörpers relativ zu dem Wasseraustritt des Armaturengehäuses bewegt. Nach Anwahl eines Strahlformkörpers, wenn er also in Fluidverbindung mit dem Wasseraustritt und somit in den Strömungsweg des Wasserstroms gebracht wurde, kann er von dem aus dem Wasseraustritt austretenden Wasserstrom durchströmt werden. Die Bedienbetätigung kann wahlweise direkt an dem Strahlwähler erfolgen oder indirekt, z.B. über einen Hebel oder ein Drehrad oder einen elektrisch ansteuerbaren Hubzylinder.The sanitary fitting according to the invention has a jet selector which is held displaceable downstream of the water outlet of the fitting housing and contains at least two different jet shaped bodies which are to be brought into or out of fluid communication with the water outlet by an operating movement of the jet selector. The operating movement of the jet selector thus brings a selected jet shaped body into a position in which it can be flowed through by a fluid flow. The advantage here is that the beam selector consist of relatively simple components and can be built compact. For example, the jet selector can be a plate-shaped or cylindrical component which can be displaced in a guide of the fitting housing. The jet selector is moved to select a desired jet shaped body relative to the water outlet of the valve body. After selecting a jet shaped body, that is, if it has been brought into fluid communication with the water outlet and thus in the flow path of the water flow, it can be traversed by the exiting the water outlet water flow. The operator control can optionally directly on the Jet selector or indirectly, for example via a lever or a rotary knob or an electrically controllable lifting cylinder.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Armaturengehäuse einen plattenförmigen Gehäuseaustrittsteil mit einer Flachkanalstruktur auf sowie einen an einer Unterseite des plattenförmigen Gehäuseaustrittsteils aus der Flachkanalstruktur ausmündenden Wasseraustritt. Die Flachkanalstruktur ermöglicht eine geringe Bauhöhe der Sanitärarmatur, und der Strahlformkörper ist an der Unterseite des plattenförmigen Gehäuseaustrittsteils verlagerbar gehalten. Zudem kann bei Bedarf durch eine breite Flachkanalstruktur ein breiter Wasserstrom geformt werden.According to the invention, the fitting housing has a plate-shaped housing outlet part with a flat channel structure and a water outlet opening out of the flat channel structure on an underside of the plate-shaped housing outlet part. The flat channel structure allows a low overall height of the sanitary fitting, and the jet molding is kept displaceable on the underside of the plate-shaped housing outlet part. In addition, if required, a wide water flow can be formed by a wide flat channel structure.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Strahlformkörper von unterschiedlichem Strahltyp. Die Strahlformkörper können dadurch den durchströmenden Fluidstrom, in der Regel einen Wasserstrom, unterschiedlich formen, was zu unterschiedlichen Strahlaustrittscharakteristika des austretenden Fluids führt. Möglich sind hierbei grundsätzlich alle herkömmlichen Strahlformen, insbesondere Punktstrahlen, Ringstrahlen, breite oder schmale Strahlformen, Nadelstrahlen, Schwallstrahlen, Massagestrahlen sowie sämtliche Variationen daraus.In an embodiment of the invention, the jet shaped bodies are of different jet type. The jet shaped bodies can thereby form the flowing fluid stream, usually a water stream, differently, which leads to different jet outlet characteristics of the exiting fluid. In principle, all conventional beam shapes are possible here, in particular spot beams, ring beams, wide or narrow beam shapes, needle beams, wave jets, massage jets and all variations thereof.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Strahlwähler translatorisch verlagerbar. Dazu ist eine Strahlwahlplatte an dem Armaturengehäuse verschieblich gelagert. Die an der Strahlwahlplatte angeordneten Strahlformkörper sind dann beispielsweise durch eine lineare Verlagerung des Strahlwählers sukzessive in einen Strömungsweg des Wasserstroms verschieblich. Es ist auch möglich, mit dem Strahlwähler mehrere translatorische Bewegungen in verschiedene Richtungen nacheinander auszuführen. Die Strahlformkörper können in einer Flucht bzw. Reihe angeordnet und der Strahlwähler nur entlang einer Achse verschieblich sein, es können aber auch mehrere parallele oder nicht-parallele Reihen von Strahlformkörpern vorhanden sein, die entsprechend entlang von mehreren parallelen oder nicht-parallelen Achsen verlagerbar sind.In an embodiment of the invention, the beam selector is translationally displaceable. For this purpose, a beam selector plate is slidably mounted on the valve body. The arranged on the beam selection plate beam moldings are then successively displaced, for example, by a linear displacement of the beam selector in a flow path of the water flow. It is also possible to use the beam selector to perform several translatory movements in different directions one after the other. The jet shaped bodies can be arranged in an alignment or row and the jet selector can be displaceable only along one axis, but it is also possible for there to be a plurality of parallel or non-parallel rows of jet shaped bodies which can be displaced along a plurality of parallel or non-parallel axes.

In anderer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung beinhaltet der Strahlwähler einen zylindrischen Strahlwahlrevolver, an dem die Strahlformkörper stirnseitig angeordnet sind. Der Strahlwähler ist dann rotatorisch verlagerbar. Die an dem Strahlwähler angeordneten Strahlformkörper werden durch Drehen des Strahlwahlrevolvers um eine Längsachse, z.B. seine Längsmittenachse, sukzessive in den Strömungsweg des Wasserstroms verlagert. Bei Bedarf kann der Strahlwahlrevolver in entsprechender Ausgestaltung zusätzlich translatorisch verlagerbar sein.In another embodiment of the invention, the beam selector includes a cylindrical beam-selecting revolver, on which the shaped bodies are arranged frontally. The beam selector is then rotatably displaceable. The arranged on the beam selector Beam shaped bodies are successively displaced into the flow path of the water flow by rotating the beam-selecting revolver about a longitudinal axis, for example its longitudinal center axis. If required, the beam-selecting revolver can be additionally translationally displaceable in a corresponding embodiment.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Strahlwähler einen Rastmechanismus auf. Der Rastmechanismus dient zum Einrasten des Strahlwählers in voreingestellten Positionen, in denen ein jeweiliger Strahlformkörper angewählt und von einem Wasserstrom durchströmt ist.In an embodiment of the invention, the beam selector has a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism is used for locking the beam selector in preset positions in which a respective jet shaped body is selected and flows through a stream of water.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Strahlwähler Strahlkammern auf, die gegeneinander gedichtet sind. Durch ein Abdichten der Strahlkammern gegeneinander wird verhindert, dass mehrere Strahlkammern zeitgleich von dem Wasserstrom durchströmt werden. Somit ist sichergestellt, dass immer nur der von einer Bedienperson angewählte Strahlformkörper durchströmt wird. Es kann in einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung auch ein mehrkanaliger Wasseraustritt mit mehreren einzelnen Wasseraustritten aus dem Armaturengehäuse und die Möglichkeit geben, Dichtungen zu verlagern, um ein Durchströmen nicht gewählter Wasseraustritte zu verhindern.In an embodiment of the invention, the beam selector to jet chambers, which are sealed against each other. By sealing the jet chambers against each other prevents multiple jet chambers are simultaneously flowed through by the water flow. This ensures that only the jet shaped body selected by an operator is flowed through. It may also be a multi-channel water outlet with several individual water leaks from the valve body and the ability to shift seals in order to prevent flow through non-selected water leaks in one embodiment of the invention.

The beam-selecting revolver 8 has on its lower end face five jet shaped bodies 6d, 6e, 6f, 6g, 6h. The jet shaped bodies 6d, 6e, 6f, 6g, 6h are successively brought into fluid communication with a water outlet 4 of the housing exit part 12 by means of rotational movement of the jet selector drum 8 about its central axis.

Die Fig. 4 bis 6 zeigen jeweils abgebrochene Schnittdarstellungen des Gehäuseaustrittsteils 12 der Sanitärarmatur 1 von Fig. 2 mit einer Außenwandung 14, einer Innenwandung 15 und einer dazwischenliegenden Flachkanalstruktur 13. In einer Betrachtungsebene unterhalb der Innenwandung 15, d.h. an einer Unterseite des Gehäuseaustrittsteils 12, ist die Strahlwahlplatte 7 angeordnet. Die Strahlwahlplatte 7 weist innenliegend drei Strahlkammern 9a, 9b, 9c auf, an die stromabwärts die drei Strahlformkörper 6a, 6b, 6c angrenzen. Die Strahlwahlplatte 7 kann abhängig von ihrer Ausgangsposition nach links und/oder rechts verlagert werden. Der stationär bleibende Wasseraustritt 4 wird dabei mittels einer nicht dargestellten Rasterung der Strahlwahlplatte 7 und des Gehäuseaustrittsteils 12 präzise in Fluidverbindung mit den Strahlkammern 9a, 9b, 9c und somit in Fluidverbindung mit den Strahlformkörpern 6a, 6b, 6c der Strahlwahlplatte 7 gebracht. Die Strahlwahlplatte 7 ist in an sich herkömmlicher Weise über Führungsnuten 16 und nicht dargestellte Führungsfedern in der Außenwandung 14 geführt.The 4 to 6 each show broken sectional views of the housing outlet part 12 of the sanitary fitting 1 of Fig. 2 with an outer wall 14, an inner wall 15 and an intermediate flat channel structure 13. In a viewing plane below the inner wall 15, ie at an underside of the housing exit part 12, the beam selection plate 7 is arranged. The jet selection plate 7 has on the inside three jet chambers 9a, 9b, 9c, to the downstream of which the three jet shaped bodies 6a, 6b, 6c adjoin. The beam selection plate 7 can be shifted depending on their starting position to the left and / or right. The stationarily remaining water outlet 4 is precisely brought into fluid communication with the jet chambers 9a, 9b, 9c and thus in fluid communication with the jet shaped bodies 6a, 6b, 6c of the jet selection plate 7 by means of a not shown screening of the beam selection plate 7 and the housing exit part 12. The beam selector plate 7 is guided in a conventional manner via guide grooves 16 and guide springs (not shown) in the outer wall 14.

Die einzelnen Strahlkammern 9a, 9b, 9c sind mit Dichtungen 10 gegeneinander gedichtet, um ein Überströmen des Fluids von einer angewählten Strahlkammer 9a, 9b, 9c in eine weitere Strahlkammer 9a, 9b, 9c zu verhindern. Die Außenwandung 14 und die Innenwandung 15 sind ebenfalls mit einer Dichtung 11 gegeneinander gedichtet, um Undichtigkeiten der Sanitärarmatur 1a zu vermeiden. Dazu umgibt die Dichtung den rechteckförmigen Flachkanal entsprechend längs einer näherungsweisen Rechtecklinie.The individual jet chambers 9a, 9b, 9c are sealed with gaskets 10 to prevent overflow of the fluid from a selected jet chamber 9a, 9b, 9c into a further jet chamber 9a, 9b, 9c. The outer wall 14 and the inner wall 15 are also sealed with a seal 11 against each other to avoid leaks in the sanitary fitting 1a. For this purpose, the seal surrounds the rectangular flat channel along an approximate rectangular line.

In Fig. 4 ist die Strahlwahlplatte 7 in einer ersten Funktionsstellung dargestellt, in der eine Fluidverbindung zwischen der Flachkanalstruktur 13, dem Wasseraustritt 4, der Strahlkammer 9a und dem Strahlformkörper 6a eingestellt ist. Zur Überführung der Strahlwahlplatte 7 in eine zweite Funktionsposition, wie sie in Fig. 5 dargestellt ist, wird die Strahlwahlplatte 7 von einer Bedienperson um eine Raststellung nach rechts verschoben. Nicht dargestellte Führungselemente der Strahlwahlplatte 7 gleiten dabei in Führungsnuten 16 der Außenwandung 14 des Gehäuseaustrittsteils 12, bis die zweite Funktionsstellung erreicht ist. Die Flachkanalstruktur 13 steht in dieser Stellung der Strahlwahlplatte 7 über den Wasseraustritt 4 mit der Strahlkammer 9b und dem Strahlformkörper 6b in Fluidverbindung. Bei einer weiteren Verlagerung der Strahlwahlplatte 7 um eine Raststellung nach rechts wird entsprechend eine Fluidverbindung zwischen der Flachkanalstruktur 13, dem Wasseraustritt 4, der Strahlkammer 9c und dem Strahlformkörper 6c eingestellt. Durch die entgegengesetzte Bewegung können sukzessive wieder die Strahlformkörper 6b und 6a angewählt werden.In Fig. 4 the jet selection plate 7 is shown in a first functional position, in which a fluid connection between the flat channel structure 13, the water outlet 4, the blasting chamber 9a and the jet shaped body 6a is set. For the transfer of the beam selection plate 7 in a second functional position, as in Fig. 5 is shown, the beam selector plate 7 is moved by an operator to a detent position to the right. Not shown guide elements of the beam selector plate 7 slide it in guide grooves 16 of the outer wall 14 of the housing exit part 12 until the second functional position is reached. The flat channel structure 13 is in this position of the beam selection plate 7 via the water outlet 4 with the blasting chamber 9b and the jet shaped body 6b in fluid communication. In a further displacement of the beam selector plate 7 by a detent position to the right, a fluid connection between the flat channel structure 13, the water outlet 4, the blasting chamber 9c and the jet shaped body 6c is adjusted accordingly. By the opposite movement, the jet shaped bodies 6b and 6a can be successively selected again.

Wie aus der obigen Beschreibung exemplarischer Ausführungsbeispiele deutlich wird, stellt die Erfindung in einer vorteilhaften Weise eine Sanitärarmatur zur Verfügung, mit der zugeführtes Fluid einfach dadurch in unterschiedlichen Strahlformen abgegeben werden kann, dass der Strahlwähler mit den verschiedenen Strahlformkörpern am Armaturengehäuse verlagert wird, um den jeweils gewünschten Fluidstrahl anzuwählen.As is clear from the above description of exemplary embodiments, the invention provides in an advantageous manner, a sanitary fitting with the supplied fluid can be delivered simply by different beam shapes that the beam selector is moved with the various shaped bodies on the valve body to the respective to select the desired fluid jet.
