Abstract

The sanitary fitting (1) has a housing (6) with a spray regulator (4), fitted with at least one insert (5a,5b) with lateral bars across the water flow to define passage openings (12) between them. The bars of the insert(s) form a grid or a net, with intersection points (10). The water flow to the spray regulator is passed through a perforated plate (2) to give water sprays.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein sanitäres Einbauteil, das im Inneren seines Einbau-Gehäuses eine Strahlreguliereinrichtung hat, welche Strahlreguliereinrichtung zumindest ein Einsetzteil aufweist, das quer zur Durchströmrichtung orientierte Stege hat, die zwischen sich Durchtrittsöffnungen begrenzen, wobei die Stege des zumindest einen Einsetzteiles gitter- oder netzartig, sich an Kreuzungsknoten kreuzend, angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a sanitary installation part which has a jet regulating device in the interior of its built-in housing, which jet regulating device has at least one insert part which has webs oriented transversely to the flow direction and delimiting through openings between them, the webs of the at least one insert part being grid-like or net-like crossing at intersection nodes are arranged.

Aus der DE 100 27 987 A1 ist bereits ein Strahlregler mit einem Strahlregler-Gehäuse bekannt, in dessen Gehäuseinneren eine Strahlreguliereinrichtung vorgesehen ist, die mehrere in Durchströmrichtung nacheinander in das Strahlreglergehäuse einsetzbare Einsetzteile hat. Diese Einsetzteile weisen jeweils einen äußeren Trägerring auf, der innenseitig mit etwa parallel verlaufenden, zueinander beabstandeten Stegen verbunden ist. Die Stege begrenzen jeweils über den Durchtrittsquerschnitt verlaufende, unidirektional begrenzte Durchtrittsöffnungen, wobei die Durchtrittsöffnungen benachbarter Einsetzteile in Umfangsrichtung des Einbau-Gehäuses versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind. Mit Hilfe der im vorbekannten Strahlregler vorgesehenen Einsetzteile können komplexe, die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit stark abbremsende und einen perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl formende maschenartige oder kaskadenförmige Strukturen gebildet werden, wobei die mit geringem Aufwand auch mittels herkömmlicher Fertigungstechniken herstellbaren Einsetzteile nicht zu einer unerwünschten Verkalkung neigen. Um eine wirksame Geschwindigkeitsabsenkung des zuströmenden Wassers zu erreichen, empfiehlt es sich, die Stege jedes Einsetzteiles mit möglichst geringem Abstand zueinander anzuordnen. Wird dieser Abstand zwischen den Stegen eines Einsetzteiles jedoch zu gering bemessen, besteht die Gefahr, dass die im Leitungsnetz mitströmenden Schmutzpartikel nicht zwischen den Stegen hindurchrutschen und die Funktion des vorbekannten Strahlreglers daher zunehmend beeinträchtigen können.From the DE 100 27 987 A1 a jet regulator with a jet regulator housing is already known, in the interior of which a jet regulating device is provided which has a plurality of insert parts which can be inserted one after the other in the flow direction into the jet regulator housing. These insert parts each have an outer carrier ring, which is connected on the inside with approximately parallel, spaced-apart webs. The webs each delimit unidirectionally limited through openings that run over the through cross section, the through openings of adjacent insert parts being arranged offset to one another in the circumferential direction of the built-in housing. With the aid of the insert parts provided in the known jet regulator, complex flow velocities can be achieved strongly braking and a sparkling-soft water jet forming mesh-like or cascade-like structures are formed, the insert parts which can be produced with little effort even by means of conventional manufacturing techniques do not tend to undesired calcification. In order to achieve an effective reduction in the speed of the inflowing water, it is advisable to arrange the webs of each insert part as close as possible to one another. However, if this distance between the webs of an insert part is too small, there is a risk that the dirt particles flowing in the line network will not slip between the webs and can therefore increasingly impair the function of the known jet regulator.

Aus der EP 1 245 743 A1 ist ein sanitäres Einbauteil der eingangs erwähnten Art vorbekannt, dass ein Einbau-Gehäuse hat, mit welchem das vorbekannte Einbauteil in ein am Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur montierbares hülsenförmiges Auslaufmundstück einsetzbar ist. Im Inneren des Einbau-Gehäuses ist eine Strahlreguliereinrichtung vorgesehen, die ein, die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnfläche bildendes Einsetzteil aufweist, das quer zur Durchströmrichtung orientierte Stege hat. Diese Stege sind einstückig an das als Kunststoff-Spritzgussteil ausgestaltete Einbau-Gehäuse angeformt.From the EP 1 245 743 A1 a sanitary installation part of the type mentioned at the outset is known that has a built-in housing with which the known installation part can be inserted into a sleeve-shaped outlet mouthpiece which can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting. A jet regulating device is provided in the interior of the built-in housing and has an insert part which forms the outflow-side housing end face and has webs oriented transversely to the flow direction. These webs are integrally formed on the built-in housing designed as a plastic injection molded part.

Das vorbekannte Einbauteil weist ein hülsenförmiges Einbau-Gehäuse auf, das an seinem Hülseninnenumfang eine Schulter trägt, auf der mehrere Einsetzteile aufliegen, die jeweils aus einem feinen Bronzedrahtgitter hergestellt sind. Solche feinen Bronzedrahtgitter weisen eine vergleichsweise geringe Erstreckung in Durchflussrichtung auf. Aufgrund dieser geringen Längserstreckung können diese Metallsiebe das durchströmende Wasser weniger gut zu einem homogenen, nicht-spritzenden Strahl ausrichten und auch ein Vermischen des durchströmenden Wassers mit der Umgebungsluft ist dort wegen der geringen strahlzerlegenden Wirkung dieser Metallsiebe weniger gut möglich.From the CH 374 943 A. a sanitary installation part is previously known that can be inserted into an outlet mouthpiece that can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting. The previously known built-in part has a sleeve-shaped built-in housing, which carries a shoulder on its inner sleeve circumference, on which several insert parts lie, which are each made of a fine bronze wire mesh. Such fine bronze wire mesh have a comparative small extension in the direction of flow. Due to this small longitudinal extent, these metal sieves can align the flowing water less well into a homogeneous, non-spraying jet, and mixing the flowing water with the ambient air is also less possible because of the low jet-splitting effect of these metal sieves.

Aus der EP 1 091 052 A1 ist ein vergleichbares sanitäres Einbauteil vorbekannt, das ebenfalls am Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur montierbar ist. Das vorbekannte Einbauteil hat dazu ein Kugelgelenk mit einem zuströmseitigen ersten Gelenkteil, welches eine Gelenkkugel trägt, die in einer Gelenkpfanne an einem abströmseitigen zweiten Gelenkteil gelagert ist. Am abströmseitigen zweiten Gelenkteil ist ein hülsenförmiges Auslaufmundstück lösbar gehalten, in welches Auslaufmundstück ein Strahlregler mit seinem patronenartig ausgestalteten Strahlreglergehäuse einsetzbar ist. Im Gehäuseinneren des Strahlreglergehäuses ist ein zuströmseitiges Metallsieb und abströmseitig ein weiteres Metallsieb oder mehrere Metallsiebe angeordnet. Auch diese, in EP 1 091 052 A1 verwendeten Metallsiebe weisen nur eine vergleichsweise geringe Erstreckung in Durchflussrichtung auf.From the EP 1 091 052 A1 a comparable sanitary installation part is previously known, which can also be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting. For this purpose, the known built-in part has a ball joint with an inflow-side first joint part, which carries a joint ball which is mounted in a socket on an outflow-side second joint part. On the outflow-side second joint part, a sleeve-shaped outlet mouthpiece is detachably held, in which outlet mouthpiece a jet regulator with its cartridge-like jet regulator housing can be inserted. Arranged inside the jet regulator housing is an inflow-side metal sieve and an outflow-side another metal sieve or several metal sieves. This too, in EP 1 091 052 A1 Metal sieves used have only a comparatively small extension in the direction of flow.

Es besteht daher insbesondere die Aufgabe, ein kostengünstig herstellbares und funktionssicheres sanitäres Einbauteil der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, das bestmögliche Strahlreguliereigenschaften auch auf vergleichsweise kleiner Querschnittsfläche erlaubt.There is therefore in particular the task of creating an inexpensive to manufacture and functionally reliable sanitary installation part of the type mentioned at the outset, which allows the best possible jet regulating properties even on a comparatively small cross-sectional area.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei dem sanitären Einbauteil der eingangs erwähnten Art insbesondere darin, dass die Strahlreguliereinrichtung zumindest zwei benachbarte Einsetzteile mit gitter- oder netzartig angeordneten Stegen aufweist, dass diese zumindest zwei benachbarten Einsetzteile in das Einbau-Gehäuse einsetzbar sind, und dass die Strahlreguliereinrichtung zusätzlich zumindest ein Metallsieb aufweist.The solution according to the invention for the sanitary installation part of the type mentioned at the outset is, in particular, that the jet regulating device has at least two Adjacent insert parts with webs arranged in a grid or net-like manner have at least two adjacent insert parts that can be inserted into the built-in housing, and that the jet regulating device additionally has at least one metal sieve.

Das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil weist im Inneren seines Einbau-Gehäuses eine Strahlreguliereinrichtung auf, die zumindest zwei benachbarte Einsetzteile mit gitter- oder netzartig angeordneten Stegen hat. Diese wenigstens zwei Einsetzteile weisen quer zur Durchströmrichtung orientierte Stege auf, die erfindungsgemäß gitter- oder netzartig, sich an Kreuzungsknoten kreuzend, angeordnet sind. Durch diese gitter- oder netzartige Struktur können die zumindest zwei Einsetzteile auch auf einer vergleichsweise kleinen Querschnittsfläche eine Vielzahl von Stegen aufweisen, die den zuströmenden Wasserstrom in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufteilen. Somit kann auch bei hohen Durchflussleistungen auf einer vergleichsweise kleinen Querschnittsfläche mit geringem Herstellungsaufwand eine wirkungsvolle Durchmischung und Strahlregulierung erreicht werden. Auch bei einer Vielzahl von Stegen lassen sich diese gitter- oder netzartig so zueinander anordnen, dass die Durchtrittsöffnungen dennoch ausreichend groß sind, um im Flüssigkeitsstrom mitgeführte Schmutzpartikel passieren zu lassen. Da das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil zumindest zwei benachbarte Einsetzteile mit gitter- oder netzartig angeordneten Stegen aufweist, wird die Aufteilung der Einzelstrahlen noch zusätzlich erhöht und die Strahlreguliereigenschaften auch auf kleiner Querschnittsfläche noch zusätzlich verbessert. An den Kreuzungsknoten der Einsetzteile wird jeder einzelne Wasserstrahl nochmals derart wirkungsvoll in mehrere Einzelstrahlen unterteilt, dass auch bei hohen Durchflussleistungen auf einer vergleichsweise kleinen Querschnittsfläche eine wirkungsvolle Durchmischung und Strahlregulierung erreicht werden kann. Die Strahlreguliereigenschaften der im erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteil vorgesehenen Strahlreguliereinrichtung werden noch zusätzlich auch auf einer vergleichsweise kleinen Querschnittsfläche noch dadurch verbessert, dass diese Strahlreguliereinrichtung zusätzlich zumindest ein Metallsieb aufweist. Das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil zeichnet sich daher durch bestmögliche Strahlreguliereigenschaften auch auf kleinster Querschnittsfläche aus.The built-in part according to the invention has a jet regulating device in the interior of its built-in housing, which has at least two adjacent insert parts with webs arranged in a grid or net-like manner. These at least two insert parts have webs which are oriented transversely to the flow direction and, according to the invention, are arranged in a grid-like or network-like manner, crossing at intersection nodes. As a result of this grid-like or network-like structure, the at least two insert parts can also have a multiplicity of webs on a comparatively small cross-sectional area, which divide the inflowing water stream into a multiplicity of individual jets. Effective mixing and jet regulation can thus be achieved even with high flow rates on a comparatively small cross-sectional area with little manufacturing effort. Even in the case of a large number of webs, these can be arranged in a grid-like or network-like manner with respect to one another such that the passage openings are nevertheless sufficiently large to allow dirt particles carried in the liquid flow to pass through. Since the built-in part according to the invention has at least two adjacent insert parts with webs arranged in a lattice or net-like manner, the division of the individual jets is further increased and the jet regulating properties are additionally improved even on a small cross-sectional area. At the intersection of the insert parts, each individual water jet is subdivided so effectively into several individual jets that even at high flow rates on a comparatively small one Cross-sectional area effective mixing and jet regulation can be achieved. The jet regulating properties of the jet regulating device provided in the built-in part according to the invention are additionally improved even over a comparatively small cross-sectional area by the fact that this jet regulating device additionally has at least one metal sieve. The built-in part according to the invention is therefore characterized by the best possible jet regulating properties even on the smallest cross-sectional area.

Das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform als Strahlregler ausgebildet. Eine Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung sieht daher vor, dass der Strahlreguliereinrichtung zuströmseitig eine Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung zum Zerlegen des zuströmenden Flüssigkeitsstromes in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen vorgeschaltet ist und dass wenigstens ein Einsetzteil der Strahlreguliereinrichtung relativ zur Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung so angeordnet ist, dass die Einzelstrahlen auf Kreuzungsknoten des wenigstens einen Einsetzteiles auftreffen. Eine Abbremsung der zuströmenden Flüssigkeit und eine Aufteilung der in die Strahlreguliereinrichtung einströmenden Einzelstrahlen läßt sich besonders wirkungsvoll erreichen, wenn die Einzelstrahlen auf Kreuzungsknoten des wenigstens einen Einsetzteiles auftreffen.In a preferred embodiment, the installation part according to the invention is designed as a jet regulator. A further development according to the invention therefore provides that the jet regulating device is preceded by a jet splitting device on the inflow side for splitting the inflowing liquid stream into a plurality of individual jets and that at least one insert part of the jet regulating device is arranged relative to the jet splitting device in such a way that the individual jets are at intersections of the at least one insert part hit. A deceleration of the incoming liquid and a division of the individual jets flowing into the jet regulating device can be achieved particularly effectively if the individual jets strike intersection nodes of the at least one insert part.

Die Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles kann beispielsweise als Prallplatte ausgestaltet sein. Eine übermäßige Geräuschentwicklung wird jedoch vermieden, wenn die Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung als Lochplatte ausgestaltet ist.The jet splitting device of the installation part according to the invention can be designed, for example, as a baffle plate. Excessive noise is avoided, however, if the jet splitting device is designed as a perforated plate.

Dabei sieht eine Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass die Stege und die Kreuzungsknoten der zumindest zwei benachbarten Einsetzteile miteinander fluchten. Ein besonderer Vorteil einer solchen Ausführungsform ist, dass zumindest zwei Einsetzteile baugleich sein können.An embodiment according to the invention provides that the webs and the crossing nodes of the at least two neighboring ones Insert parts are aligned. A particular advantage of such an embodiment is that at least two insert parts can be identical in construction.

Bei einer anderen weiterbildenden Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung, die sich durch eine besonders wirkungsvolle Aufteilung der Wasserstrahlen auf kleinstem Raum auszeichnet, ist vorgesehen, dass den Durchtrittsöffnungen eines Einsetzteiles die Kreuzungsknoten des benachbarten Einsetzteiles in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschaltet sind.In another further embodiment according to the invention, which is characterized by a particularly effective distribution of the water jets in the smallest space, it is provided that the intersection nodes of the adjacent insert part are connected downstream of the passage openings of an insert part in the flow direction.

Eine einfache und mit geringem Aufwand herstellbare Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass zumindest ein zuström- und/oder ein abströmseitiges Einsetzteil gitterförmig ausgestaltet ist und zwei, sich kreuzende Schare paralleler Gitterstege aufweist. Zusätzlich oder stattdessen kann ein zuström- und/oder ein abströmseitiges Einsetzteil eine Schar radialer Stege haben, die sich an den Kreuzungsknoten mit einer Schar konzentrischer und ringförmig umlaufender Stege kreuzen. Nach einem weiteren Vorschlag gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest ein zuström- und/oder ein abströmseitiges Einsetzteil sich sternförmig oder netzartig kreuzende Stege hat.A simple embodiment which can be produced with little effort in accordance with the invention provides that at least one inflow and / or one outflow-side insert part is designed in the form of a lattice and has two intersecting shares of parallel lattice webs. In addition or instead, an inflow and / or an outflow-side insert part can have a family of radial webs which intersect with a family of concentric and annular webs at the intersection nodes. According to a further proposal according to the invention, it is provided that at least one inflow and / or one outflow-side insert part has webs which intersect in a star-shaped or network-like manner.

Eine auch in axialer Richtung platzsparende Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles sieht vor, dass die Stege zumindest eines Einsetzteiles in einer vorzugsweise quer zur Durchströmrichtung orientierten Ebene angeordnet und die Einsetzteile insbesondere plattenförmig ausgestaltet sind.An embodiment of the built-in part according to the invention that also saves space in the axial direction provides that the webs of at least one insert part are arranged in a plane which is preferably oriented transversely to the flow direction and the insert parts are in particular plate-shaped.

Um die in der Strahlreguliereinrichtung erzeugten Einzelstrahlen ausströmseitig wieder zu einem homogenen, nicht-spritzenden Gesamtstrahl zu vereinen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Strahlreguliereinrichtung abströmseitig ein Strömungsgleichrichter nachgeschaltet ist, der Durchlassöffnungen aufweist, deren Öffnungsbreite kleiner als die Höhe in Durchströmrichtung ist. Dabei ist es besonders zweckmäßig, wenn der Strömungsgleichrichter am Austrittsende des Einbau-Gehäuses angeordnet ist.In order to combine the individual jets generated in the jet regulating device on the outflow side again to form a homogeneous, non-spraying total jet, it is advantageous if the jet regulating device has a flow straightener on the outflow side is connected downstream, the passage openings, the opening width is smaller than the height in the flow direction. It is particularly expedient if the flow straightener is arranged at the outlet end of the built-in housing.

Der Strömungsgleichrichter kann einstückig mit dem Einbau-Gehäuse verbunden oder als separates Einsetzteil in das Einbau-Gehäuse einsetzbar sein. Während ein als separates Einsetzteil in das Einbau-Gehäuse einsetzbarer Strömungsgleichrichter den modularen Aufbau des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles noch zusätzlich unterstützt, kann ein einstückig mit dem Einbau-Gehäuse verbundener Strömungsgleichrichter auch als abströmseitige Vandalismussicherung des Einbauteiles dienen.The flow straightener can be connected in one piece to the built-in housing or can be used as a separate insert in the built-in housing. While a flow straightener that can be inserted into the built-in housing as a separate insert part additionally supports the modular structure of the built-in part according to the invention, a flow straightener that is integrally connected to the built-in housing can also serve as a vandalism protection for the built-in part on the outflow side.

Auch der Strömungsgleichrichter des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles kann in seiner Ausgestaltung an den Anwendungsfall und den Einsatzzweck angepasst werden. So ist beispielsweise vorgesehen, dass der Strömungsgleichrichter rechteckige, kreissegmentförmige oder wabenförmige Durchlassöffnungen hat.The flow straightener of the installation part according to the invention can also be adapted in its design to the application and the intended use. For example, it is provided that the flow straightener has rectangular, circular segment or honeycomb through openings.

Das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform als Strahlregler ausgebildet.In a preferred embodiment, the installation part according to the invention is designed as a jet regulator.

Bei einem als Strahlregler ausgestalteten Einbauteil sieht eine Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung von eigener schutzwürdiger Bedeutung vor, dass das Einbau-Gehäuse in zumindest zwei Gehäuseteile unterteilt ist, dass die Gehäuseteile miteinander verbindbar sind und dass ein zuströmseitiges Gehäuseteil mit der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung fest und unlösbar verbunden ist.In the case of a built-in part designed as a jet regulator, a further development according to the invention of its own protection worthy of protection provides that the built-in housing is divided into at least two housing parts, that the housing parts can be connected to one another, and that an inflow-side housing part is firmly and permanently connected to the jet dismantling device.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist das Einbau-Gehäuse in zumindest zwei Gehäuseteile und somit wenigstens in ein zuströmseitiges sowie ein abströmseitiges Gehäuseteil unterteilt. Von diesen Gehäuseteilen ist ein zuströmseitiges Gehäuseteil fest und unlösbar mit der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung verbunden. Da auch eine vergleichsweise empfindliche Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung an ihrem Umfangsrand sicher, fest und geschützt mit dem Gehäuseteil verbunden ist, ist auch bei heißen Wassertemperaturen und hohen Wasserdrücken keine wesentliche funktionsbeeinträchtigende Verformung der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung zu erwarten. Da die Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung an der Gehäuseinnenwand fest und unlösbar gehalten ist und da dort ein Ringflansch als Auflager für die Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung nicht mehr erforderlich ist, kann der Strahlregler auch bei hohen Durchflussleistungen mit einem vergleichsweise kleinen Gehäusedurchmesser ausgestaltet werden, wie er beim vorbekannten Stand der Technik nur bei Strahlreglern mit geringer Durchflussleistung möglich war. Durch die mit dem Einbau-Gehäuse fest verbundene Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung erfährt das Einbau-Gehäuse eine radiale Aussteifung, die das hülsenförmige Einbau-Gehäuse auch insgesamt bruch- und formstabiler macht. Während bei vorbekannten Strahlreglern, bei denen eine separate Lochplatte als Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung in das Außengehäuse montiert wurde, stets Dichtprobleme zwischen Lochplatte und hülsenförmigem Außengehäuse auftraten, bietet der erfindungsgemäße Strahlregler den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass diese Dichtprobleme aufgrund der Einteiligkeit zwischen Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung und zuströmseitigem Gehäuseteil nicht entstehen. Da das Einbau-Gehäuse aus zumindest zwei miteinander verbindbaren Gehäuseteilen besteht, kann dennoch die der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschaltete Strahlreguliereinrichtung und gegebenenfalls weitere erforderliche Funktionseinheiten in das Einbau-Gehäuse eingesetzt werden. Das als Strahlregler ausgebildete erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil zeichnet sich daher durch eine hohe Formstabilität bei gleichzeitig geringem Herstellungsaufwand aus.In this embodiment, the built-in housing is in at least two housing parts and thus at least in one upstream as well as a downstream housing part. Of these housing parts, an inflow-side housing part is permanently and permanently connected to the jet splitting device. Since a comparatively sensitive jet cutting device is securely, securely and securely connected to the housing part at its peripheral edge, no significant function-impairing deformation of the jet cutting device is to be expected even at hot water temperatures and high water pressures. Since the jet splitting device is held firmly and inseparably on the inside wall of the housing and since an annular flange is no longer required as a support for the jet splitting device, the jet regulator can also be designed with a comparatively small housing diameter, even at high flow rates, as is only the case with the prior art Jet regulators with low Flow rate was possible. Due to the jet dismantling device firmly connected to the built-in housing, the built-in housing is radially stiffened, which also makes the sleeve-shaped built-in housing generally more resistant to breakage and shape. While previously known jet regulators, in which a separate perforated plate was installed in the outer casing as a jet disassembly device, there were always sealing problems between the perforated plate and the sleeve-shaped outer casing, the jet regulator according to the invention offers the essential advantage that these sealing problems do not arise due to the one-piece nature between the jet disassembly device and the inflow-side housing part. Since the built-in housing consists of at least two housing parts which can be connected to one another, the jet regulating device downstream of the jet splitting device in the flow direction and, if appropriate, further required functional units can nevertheless be inserted into the built-in housing. The built-in part according to the invention, designed as a jet regulator, is therefore characterized by a high degree of dimensional stability with a low manufacturing outlay.

Sofern eine starke oder weniger starke Abbremsung der Wasserströmung im erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteil gewünscht wird, ist eine Anpassung des Einbauteiles durch Austausch der Strahlreguliereinrichtung sowie der ihr nachgeschalteten Funktionseinheiten möglich. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht daher vor, dass dem aus zumindest zwei miteinander verbindbaren Gehäuseteilen bestehenden Einbau-Gehäuse wenigstens zwei, wahlweise in das Einbau-Gehäuse einsetzbare Strahlreguliereinrichtungen zugeordnet sind.If a strong or less severe braking of the water flow in the built-in part according to the invention is desired, an adaptation of the built-in part is possible by exchanging the jet regulating device and the functional units connected downstream of it. A preferred embodiment according to the invention therefore provides that at least two jet regulating devices which can optionally be inserted into the built-in housing are assigned to the built-in housing consisting of at least two housing parts which can be connected to one another.

Das zuströmseitige Gehäuseteil des als Strahlregler ausgestalteten Einbauteiles kann mit geringem Aufwand als einstückiges Kunststoff-Spritzgußteil hergestellt werden, wenn die Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung mit dem ihm zugeordneten Gehäuseteil einstückig verbunden ist.The inflow-side housing part of the built-in part designed as a jet regulator can be produced with little effort as a one-piece plastic injection-molded part, if the jet splitting device is connected in one piece to the housing part assigned to it.

Der mit der Herstellung des Einbauteiles verbundene Aufwand wird noch zusätzlich reduziert, wenn das Einbau-Gehäuse zwei Gehäuseteile hat, die in einer quer zur Zuströmrichtung orientierten Trennebene miteinander verbindbar sind.The effort associated with the manufacture of the built-in part is further reduced if the built-in housing has two housing parts which can be connected to one another in a parting plane oriented transversely to the inflow direction.

Die Gehäuseteile des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles lassen sich besonders einfach und bequem miteinander verbinden, wenn diese Gehäuseteile des Einbau-Gehäuses lösbar miteinander verrastbar sind. Stattdessen ist es aber auch möglich, zumindest zwei Gehäuseteile beispielsweise durch eine Kleb- oder Schweißverbindung fest miteinander zu verbinden.The housing parts of the built-in part according to the invention can be particularly easily and conveniently connected to one another if these housing parts of the built-in housing can be releasably locked together. Instead, however, it is also possible to firmly connect at least two housing parts to one another, for example by means of an adhesive or welded connection.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass ein abströmseitiges Gehäuseteil hülsenförmig ausgestaltet ist und dass in dieses Gehäuseteil wenigstens ein Einsetzteil der Strahlreguliereinrichtung einsetzbar ist. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das wenigstens eine Einsetzteil in das der Strahlreguliereinrichtung zugeordnete Gehäuseteil von dessen Zuströmseite aus bis zu einem Einsteckanschlag oder einem Auflager einsetzbar ist.A preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that an outflow-side housing part is of sleeve-shaped design and that at least one insert part of the jet regulating device can be inserted into this housing part. It is advantageous if the at least one insert part can be inserted into the housing part assigned to the jet regulating device from its inflow side up to an insertion stop or a support.

Um das erfindungsgemäße Einbauteil auch bei Verwendung des gleichen Einbau-Gehäuses leicht an die unterschiedlichen Anforderungen anpassen zu können, können diesem Einbau-Gehäuse mehrere, wahlweise in das Einbau-Gehäuse einsetzbare Strahlreguliereinrichtungen zugeordnet sein. Zusätzlich oder stattdessen ist es möglich, dass die Strahlreguliereinrichtung des Strahlreglers modular aufgebaut ist und ihr mehrere wahlweise miteinander kombinierbare Einsetzteile zugeordnet sind.In order to be able to adapt the built-in part according to the invention easily to the different requirements even when using the same built-in housing, several beam regulating devices which can optionally be inserted into the built-in housing can be assigned to this built-in housing. Additionally or instead, it is possible for the jet regulating device of the jet regulator to be of modular construction and for it to be assigned several insert parts which can be combined with one another.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil zumindest im Bereich der Wasseraustrittsöffnung eine weiche und/oder wasserabstoßende Oberfläche aufweist. Der Vorteil dieser Ausführungsform besteht in der Verkalkungsfreiheit im Bereich ihrer Wasseraustrittsöffnung. Darüber hinaus läßt sich insbesondere eine weiche Oberfläche durch manuelles Abstreifen eventueller Anlagerungen leicht reinigen.A preferred embodiment according to the invention provides proposes that the outlet-side housing part has a soft and / or water-repellent surface at least in the region of the water outlet opening. The advantage of this embodiment is that there is no calcification in the area of its water outlet opening. In addition, a soft surface in particular can be easily cleaned by manually wiping off any deposits.

Aus den gleichen Gründen kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn zusätzlich oder stattdessen das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil zumindest im Bereich der Wasseraustrittsöffnung aus einem elastischen Material hergestellt ist. Dabei sind vorzugsweise Gummi, Silikon, thermoplastische Elastomere oder andere gummielastische Materialien zu verwenden.For the same reasons, it can be advantageous if, in addition or instead, the outlet-side housing part is made of an elastic material at least in the region of the water outlet opening. Rubber, silicone, thermoplastic elastomers or other rubber-elastic materials should preferably be used.

Um die einfache Herstellbarkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Strahlreglers auch im Bereich seines auslaufseitigen Gehäuseteiles zu begünstigen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil im wesentlichen aus einem elastischen Material und/oder einem Material mit weicher beziehungsweise wasserabstoßender Oberfläche hergestellt ist.In order to promote the ease of manufacture of the jet regulator according to the invention also in the region of its outlet-side housing part, it is advantageous if the outlet-side housing part is essentially made of an elastic material and / or a material with a soft or water-repellent surface.

Damit auch ein aus gummielastischem Material hergestelltes Gehäuseteil in sich ausreichend stabil ist und beispielsweise auch durch eine Rastverbindung an dem benachbarten Gehäuseteil befestigt werden kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil durch in Umfangsrichtung vorzugsweise gleichmäßig verteilte Längsstege ausgesteift ist.So that a housing part made of rubber-elastic material is inherently sufficiently stable and can also be fastened to the adjacent housing part, for example, by a snap-in connection, it is advantageous if the outlet-side housing part is stiffened by longitudinal webs, which are preferably evenly distributed in the circumferential direction.

Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass die Längsstege zumindest im Bereich der Austrittsöffnung vorgesehen sind.A preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the longitudinal webs are provided at least in the region of the outlet opening.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung von eigener schutzwürdiger Bedeutung sieht vor, dass das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil im Bereich der Wasseraustrittsöffnung mindestens eine Einschnürung oder dergleichen Verengung seines Durchflussquerschnittes aufweist. Diese Einschnürung oder dergleichen Verengung des Durchflussquerschnittes hat auf den ausströmenden Wasserstrahl und dessen Strahlbild eine kalibrierende Wirkung. Die Verengung des Durchflussquerschnittes ist im Bereich der Wasseraustrittsöffnung und somit in einem Bereich vorgesehen, der eventuellen Störkonturen in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschaltet ist. Durch die Kalibrierung des Wasserstrahls wird ein homogenes und nicht-spritzendes Strahlbild wesentlich begünstigt.A particularly advantageous development according to the invention of its own importance, which is worthy of protection, provides that the outlet-side housing part in the area of the water outlet opening has at least one constriction or the like narrowing of its flow cross-section. This constriction or similar narrowing of the flow cross-section has a calibrating effect on the outflowing water jet and its jet pattern. The narrowing of the flow cross-section is provided in the area of the water outlet opening and thus in an area which is followed by possible interference contours in the flow direction. By calibrating the water jet, a homogeneous and non-spraying jet pattern is significantly favored.

Um die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Strahlreglers noch zusätzlich zu vereinfachen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil mit dem zuströmseitig benachbarten Gehäuseteil vorzugsweise über eine insbesondere umlaufende Rastverbindung verbindbar ist.In order to further simplify the manufacture of the jet regulator according to the invention, it is advantageous if the outlet-side housing part can be connected to the housing part adjacent to the inflow side, preferably by means of an in particular circumferential snap-in connection.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung erfindungsgemäßer Ausführungsbeispiele in Verbindung mit den Ansprüchen sowie der Zeichnung. Die einzelnen Merkmale können je für sich oder zu mehreren bei einer Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung verwirklicht sein.Further features of the invention result from the following description of exemplary embodiments according to the invention in conjunction with the claims and the drawing.

einen Strahlregler, ähnlich dem aus Figur 1, dessen Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung hier als Prallplatte ausgestaltet ist.a jet regulator, similar to that from Figure 1 , whose beam splitting device is designed here as a baffle plate.

In Figur 1 ist ein sanitäres Einbauteil dargestellt, das in das Auslaufmundstück einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur einsetzbar ist. Das Einsetzteil ist hier als Strahlregler 1 ausgebildet, der zur Erzeugung eines homogenen, perlend-weichen und nicht-spritzenden Wasserstrahls dient. Der Strahlregler 1 hat dazu eine Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 2, die beispielsweise als Prallplatte ausgebildet sein kann, aber vorzugsweise - wie hier - als Lochplatte ausgestaltet ist und den zufließenden Wasserstrom in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufteilt. Die Lochplatte 2 hat dazu eine entsprechende Anzahl von Durchflusslöchern 3, die sich zumindest auf einem zuströmseitigen Lochabschnitt in Strömungsrichtung vorzugsweise konisch verjüngen. Damit nicht Schmutzpartikel in das Einbauteil 1 eindringen und dort zu Funktionsstörungen führen können, ist zuströmseitig ein Vorsatzsieb 17 vorgesehen.In Figure 1 a sanitary installation part is shown which can be inserted into the outlet mouthpiece of a sanitary outlet fitting. The insert part is designed here as a jet regulator 1, which is used to generate a homogeneous, sparkling-soft and non-splashing water jet. For this purpose, the jet regulator 1 has a jet splitting device 2, which can be designed, for example, as a baffle plate, but preferably - as here - is designed as a perforated plate and divides the inflowing water stream into a large number of individual jets. For this purpose, the perforated plate 2 has a corresponding number of throughflow holes 3, which preferably taper conically in the flow direction at least on an upstream hole section. So that dirt particles do not penetrate into the built-in part 1 and can lead to malfunctions there, an attachment screen 17 is provided on the inflow side.

Der durch die Lochplatte 2 gebildeten Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung ist eine Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschaltet. Diese Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 soll die von der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 2 kommenden Einzelstrahlen stark abbremsen, in weitere Einzelstrahlen aufteilen und erforderlichenfalls eine Luftzumischung begünstigen, um letztendlich einen perlenden-weichen Wasserstrahl zu erzielen. Die Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 weist dazu zwei Einsetzteile 5a, 5b auf, die mit Abstand zueinander in das Einbau-Gehäuse 6 einsetzbar sind.The jet splitting device formed by the perforated plate 2 is followed by a jet regulating device 4 in the flow direction. This jet regulating device 4 is intended to brake the individual jets coming from the jet splitting device 2 strongly, divide them into further individual jets and, if necessary, favor an air admixture in order to ultimately achieve a sparkling, soft water jet. For this purpose, the jet regulating device 4 has two insert parts 5a, 5b, which are spaced apart from one another in the built-in housing 6 can be used.

In Figur 1 ist erkennbar, dass das Einbau-Gehäuse 6 zweiteilig ausgestaltet ist und zwei lösbar miteinander verrastbare Gehäuseteile 7, 8 hat. Dabei ist das zuströmseitige Gehäuseteil 7 mit der Lochplatte 2 einstückig und damit sowohl fest als auch unlösbar verbunden. Diese Gehäuseteile 7, 8 sind in einer quer zur Zuströmrichtung orientierten Trennebene lösbar miteinander verbunden. Da auch eine vergleichsweise dünne Lochplatte 2 an ihrem Umfangsrand sicher und fest mit dem Gehäuseteil 7 verbunden ist, ist auch bei heißen Wassertemperaturen und hohen Wasserdrücken keine wesentliche funktionsbeeinträchtigende Verformung der Lochplatte 2 zu erwarten. Da die Lochplatte 2 an der Gehäuseinnenwand fest und unlösbar gehalten ist und da dort ein Ringflansch als Auflager für die Lochplatte nicht erforderlich ist, kann der Strahlregler 1 auch bei hohen Durchflussleistungen mit einem vergleichsweise kleinen Gehäusedurchmesser ausgestaltet werden, wie er beim vorbekannten Stand der Technik nur bei Strahlreglern mit geringer Durchlflußleistung möglich war. Durch die mit dem Einbau-Gehäuse 6 fest verbundenen Lochplatte 2 erfährt das Einbau-Gehäuse 6 eine radiale Aussteifung, die das hülsenförmige Einbau-Gehäuse 6 auch insgesamt bruch- und formstabiler macht. Da das Einbau-Gehäuse aus zumindest zwei lösbar miteinander verbindbaren Gehäuseteilen 7, 8 besteht, kann dennoch die der Lochplatte 2 in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschaltete Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 und gegebenenfalls weitere erforderliche Funktionseinheiten in das Einbau-Gehäuse 6 eingesetzt werden. Der Strahlregler 1 zeichnet sich daher durch eine hohe Formstabilität bei gleichzeitig geringem Herstellungsaufwand aus. Der Strahlregler 1 kann auch bei hohen Durchflussleistungen mit einem vergleichsweise geringen Gehäusedurchmesser ausgestaltet werden. Sofern unterschiedliche Durchflussleistungen eine entsprechende Anpassung des Strahlreglers 1 erfordern, ist dies durch Austausch der der Lochplatte 2 nachgeschalteten Strahlreguliereinrichtungen und dergleichen Funktionseinheiten möglich.In Figure 1 it can be seen that the built-in housing 6 is designed in two parts and has two housing parts 7, 8 which can be releasably locked together. The inflow-side housing part 7 is in one piece with the perforated plate 2 and is thus both permanently and non-detachably connected. These housing parts 7, 8 are detachably connected to one another in a separating plane oriented transversely to the inflow direction. Since a comparatively thin perforated plate 2 is securely and firmly connected to the housing part 7 at its peripheral edge, no significant function-impairing deformation of the perforated plate 2 is to be expected even at hot water temperatures and high water pressures. Since the perforated plate 2 is held firmly and permanently on the inner wall of the housing and since there is no need for an annular flange as a support for the perforated plate, the jet regulator 1 can also be designed with a comparatively small housing diameter even at high flow rates, as is only the case in the prior art was possible with jet regulators with a low flow rate. Due to the perforated plate 2 firmly connected to the built-in housing 6, the built-in housing 6 is subjected to radial stiffening, which also makes the sleeve-shaped built-in housing 6 more resistant to breakage and shape. Since the built-in housing consists of at least two housing parts 7, 8 which can be detachably connected to one another, the jet regulating device 4 downstream of the perforated plate 2 in the flow direction and, if appropriate, other required functional units can nevertheless be inserted into the built-in housing 6. The jet regulator 1 is therefore characterized by a high degree of dimensional stability with a low manufacturing outlay. The jet regulator 1 can also be designed with a comparatively small housing diameter at high flow rates. If there are different flow rates, adjust the jet regulator accordingly 1 require, this is possible by exchanging the jet regulating devices and the like functional units connected downstream of the perforated plate 2.

In Figur 1 ist erkennbar, dass das abströmseitige Gehäuseteil 8 hülsenförmig ausgestaltet ist und dass in dieses Gehäuseteil 8 die Einsetzteile 5a, 5b der Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 bis zu einem Einsteckanschlag 9 einsetzbar sind. Aus einem Vergleich der Figuren 2 bis 8 und insbesondere aus den Figuren 4 und 8 wird deutlich, dass die Einsetzteile 5a, 5b jeweils sich an Kreuzungsknoten 10 kreuzende Stege 11 haben, wobei den Durchtrittsöffnungen 12 eines dieser Einsetzteile die Kreuzungsknoten 10 des benachbarten Einsetzteiles 5b in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschaltet sind, während gleichzeitig den Durchtrittsöffnungen 12 des abströmseitigen Einsetzteiles 5b die Kreuzungsknoten 10 des benachbarten zuströmseitigen Einsetzteiles 5a in Durchströmrichtung vorgeschaltet sind.In Figure 1 it can be seen that the outflow-side housing part 8 is of sleeve-shaped design and that the insert parts 5a, 5b of the jet regulating device 4 can be inserted into this housing part 8 up to an insertion stop 9. From a comparison of the Figures 2 to 8 and especially from the Figures 4 and 8th it becomes clear that the insert parts 5a, 5b each have webs 11 which intersect at intersection nodes 10, the intersection nodes 10 of the adjacent insert part 5b being connected downstream of the passage openings 12 of one of these insert parts, while at the same time the intersection nodes 10 of the outflow-side insert part 5b of the adjacent inflow-side insert 5a are connected upstream in the flow direction.

Der dem als Strahlregler ausgestalteten Einbauteil 1 zuströmende Wasserstrahl wird an jedem Kreuzungsknoten 10 des zuströmseitigen Einsetzteiles 5a in mehrere Einzelstrahlen aufgeteilt. Diese Einzelstrahlen werden an den Kreuzungsknoten 10 des in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschalteten Einsatzteiles 5b wiederum in eine Vielzahl weiterer Einzelstrahlen aufgeteilt. Die Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 des Strahlreglers 1 zeichnet sich mit den kaskadenartig angeordneten Kreuzungsknoten 10 ihrer Einsetzteile 5a, 5b durch eine besonders wirkungsvolle Abbremsung des zuströmenden Wasserstrahls auch auf kleinster Querschnittsfläche aus.The water jet flowing to the installation part 1 designed as a jet regulator is divided into several individual jets at each intersection node 10 of the inlet part 5 a on the inflow side. These individual jets are in turn divided into a plurality of further individual jets at the intersection nodes 10 of the insert 5b connected downstream in the flow direction. The jet regulating device 4 of the jet regulator 1 is distinguished by the cascade-like intersection nodes 10 of its insert parts 5a, 5b by a particularly effective braking of the incoming water jet even on the smallest cross-sectional area.

Die Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 des hier dargestellten Strahlreglers 1 ist modular aufgebaut; der Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 sind mehrere wahlweise miteinander kombinierbare Einsetzteile 5 zugeordnet. So weisen die in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellten Einsetzteile 5a und 5b gitterförmige Stege 11 auf. Die Gitterstrukturen dieser Einsetzteile 5a, 5b sind etwa um 45° versetzt zueinander angeordnet, wobei das in Figur 3 dargestellte Einsetzteil 5b im Vergleich zum Einsetzteil 5a aus Figur 2 einen kleineren Gitterabstand hat. Durch Lageorientierungsein- oder -ausformungen 13 am äußeren Umfangsrand der Einsetzteile 5a, 5b, die mit in Längsrichtung orientierten, komplementär geformten Lageorientierungsaus- oder -einformungen am Gehäuseinnenumfang des Gehäuseteiles 8 zusammenwirken, wird stets eine lagegerechte Anordnung der Einsetzteile 5 zueinander im Einbau-Gehäuse 6 gewährleistet.The jet regulating device 4 of the jet regulator 1 shown here has a modular structure; the jet regulating device 4 is assigned a plurality of insert parts 5 which can optionally be combined with one another. So they point in the Figures 2 and 3rd Insert parts 5a and 5b shown grid-like webs 11. The lattice structures of these insert parts 5a, 5b are arranged offset by approximately 45 ° to one another, the insert part 5b shown in FIG. 3 being different from the insert part 5a Figure 2 has a smaller grid spacing. A position-correct arrangement of the insert parts 5 with respect to one another in the built-in housing 6 is always achieved by position orientation indentations or formations 13 on the outer peripheral edge of the insert parts 5a, 5b, which cooperate with longitudinally oriented, complementarily shaped position orientation formations or indentations on the housing inner circumference of the housing part 8 guaranteed.

Während das in Figur 5 dargestellte zuströmseitige Einsetzteil 5c eine Schar radialer Stege 11' aufweist, die sich an den Kreuzungsknoten mit einer Schar konzentrisch und ringförmig umlaufender Stege 11" kreuzen, hat das in Figur 6 gezeigte abströmseitige Einsetzteil 5d sternförmig oder netzartig kreuzende Stege 11. Die Stege 11 jedes plattenförmig ausgestalteten Einsetzteiles 5 sind in einer quer zur Durchströmrichtung orientierten Ebene angeordnet.While that in Figure 5 The inflow-side insert part 5c shown has a family of radial webs 11 ', which intersect with a family of concentrically and annularly running webs 11 "at the intersection nodes Figure 6 shown outflow-side insert 5d star-shaped or net-like crosspieces 11. The webs 11 of each plate-shaped insert 5 are arranged in a plane oriented transversely to the flow direction.

In Figur 1 ist erkennbar, dass der Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 am Austrittsende des Einbau-Gehäuses 6 ein Strömungsgleichrichter 14 nachgeschaltet ist. Aus einem Vergleich der Figuren 9 und 10 wird deutlich, dass dieser Strömungsgleichrichter 14, bei dem die Öffnungsbreite der Durchlassöffnungen 15 kleiner als die Höhe in Durchströmrichtung ist, beispielsweise wabenförmige (Fig. 9) oder kreissegmentförmige (Fig. 10) Durchlassöffnungen 15 haben kann.In Figure 1 it can be seen that a flow straightener 14 is connected downstream of the jet regulating device 4 at the outlet end of the built-in housing 6. From a comparison of the Figures 9 and 10th it becomes clear that this flow straightener 14, in which the opening width of the passage openings 15 is smaller than the height in the flow direction, for example honeycomb-shaped ( Fig. 9 ) or circular segment-shaped ( Fig. 10 ) Can have openings 15.

In den Figuren 11 und 12 sind hier als Strömungsgleichrichter dienende Einsätze dargestellt, die ein gitterförmiges Metallsieb aufweisen.In the Figures 11 and 12th inserts serving as flow straighteners are shown here, which have a grid-shaped metal sieve.

In Figur 13 ist gezeigt, dass die Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 auch zwei benachbarte Einsetzteile 5a, 5b aufweisen kann, deren Stege 11 und Kreuzungsknoten 10 miteinander fluchten. Dabei wird aus Figur 13 deutlich, dass die Einsetzteile 5a, 5b einer solchen Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 auch baugleich ausgestaltet sein können, wodurch sich der Herstellungsaufwand noch zusätzlich reduzieren lässt. Ebenso wie in den Figuren 4 und 8, ist auch in Figur 13 durch in Fettdruck ausgeführte Kreise angedeutet, dass die Durchflussöffnungen der Lochplatte 2 mit den Kreuzungsknoten 10 wenigstens eines, in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschalteten Einsetzteiles fluchten. Durch die in Figur 13 in Fettdruck ausgeführten Kreise ist der Auftreffpunkt der aus der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 2 kommenden Einzelstrahlen auf den Kreuzungsknoten 10 des Einsetzteiles 5a veranschaulicht.In Figure 13 it is shown that the jet regulating device 4 can also have two adjacent insert parts 5a, 5b, the webs 11 and intersection nodes 10 of which are aligned. It will be from Figure 13 It is clear that the insert parts 5a, 5b of such a jet regulating device 4 can also be designed identically, as a result of which the manufacturing outlay can be further reduced. Just like in the Figures 4 and 8th , is also in Figure 13 indicated by circles in bold print that the flow openings of the perforated plate 2 are aligned with the intersection nodes 10 of at least one insert part connected downstream in the flow direction. By in Figure 13 Circles in bold print illustrate the point of impact of the individual beams coming from the beam splitting device 2 onto the intersection node 10 of the insert 5a.

In Figur 14 ist ein, in einem Auslaufmundstück 21 befindlicher Strahlregler 1 dargestellt, dessen hülsenförmiges Außengehäuse aus zwei lösbar miteinander verrastbaren Gehäuseteilen 7, 8 besteht. Dabei ist das zuströmseitige Gehäuseteil 7 mit der Lochplatte 2 einstückig und damit sowohl fest als auch unlösbar verbunden. Während das zuströmseitige Gehäuseteil 7 aus einem vergleichsweise festen Kunststoffmaterial besteht, ist das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil 8 aus einem elastischen Material hergestellt und weist eine weiche und wasserabstoßende Oberfläche auf. Da das Gehäuseteil 8 somit auch im Bereich seiner Wasseraustrittsöffnung und somit im Bereich des dort vorgesehenen Strömungsgleichrichters 14 eine wasserabstoßende Oberfläche hat, zeichnet sich der in Figur 14 dargestellte Strahlregler 1 durch die Verkalkungsfreiheit des auslaufseitigen Strömungsgleichrichters 14 aus. Da das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil 8 aus Gummi, Silikon oder einem thermoplastischen Elastomer hergestellt ist und somit eine elastische und weiche Oberfläche hat, können insbesondere am Strömungsgleichrichter 14 angelagerte Verkalkungen oder Schmutzpartikel leicht manuell abgelöst werden. Um die manuelle Reinigung des Strahlreglers 1 noch zusätzlich zu erleichtern, kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn der Strahlregler 1 mit einem auslaufseitigen Teilbereich zumindest geringfügig über das Auslaufmundstück 21 vorsteht.In Figure 14 a jet regulator 1 located in an outlet mouthpiece 21 is shown, the sleeve-shaped outer housing of which consists of two housing parts 7, 8 which can be releasably locked together. The inflow-side housing part 7 is in one piece with the perforated plate 2 and is thus both permanently and non-detachably connected. While the inflow-side housing part 7 consists of a comparatively strong plastic material, the outlet-side housing part 8 is made of an elastic material and has a soft and water-repellent surface. Since the housing part 8 thus also has a water-repellent surface in the region of its water outlet opening and thus in the region of the flow straightener 14 provided there, the Figure 14 jet regulator 1 shown by the absence of calcification of the flow-side flow straightener 14. Since the outlet-side housing part 8 is made of rubber, silicone or a thermoplastic elastomer and thus has an elastic and soft surface, can in particular on Flow straighteners 14 attached calcifications or dirt particles can be easily removed manually. In order to additionally simplify the manual cleaning of the jet regulator 1, it can be advantageous if the jet regulator 1 with a portion on the outlet side projects at least slightly beyond the outlet mouthpiece 21.

Wie aus Figur 14 deutlich wird, sind das zuströmseitige Gehäuseteil 7 und das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil 8 durch eine Rastverbindung lösbar aneinander gehalten. Um zu verhindern, dass das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil 8 axial vom zuströmseitigen Gehäuseteil 7 abgezogen werden kann, sind die Auflageschultern, an denen sich beide Gehäuseteile 7, 8 berühren, so ausgestaltet, dass genügend große Kräfte aufgenommen werden können. Darüber hinaus ist das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil 8 durch radiale Längsstege 22 ausgesteift, die im Bereich des Strömungsgleichrichters 14 und somit im Bereich der Austrittsöffnung in Umfangsrichtung gleichmäßig verteilt angeordnet sind. Durch die am gummielastischen Gehäuseteil 8 vorgesehenen Längsstege 22, die sich sehr eng an die Innenkontur des Auslaufmundstückes 21 anlegen, wird verhindert, dass sich das gummielastische Gehäuseteil 8 ausweiten und somit vom Gehäuseteil 7 abgezogen werden kann. Ohnehin sind die durch den Wasserdruck entstehenden Axialkräfte auf das elastische Gehäuseteil 8 vergleichsweise gering, da der Wasserdruck an der als Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 2 dienenden Lochplatte im Gehäuseteil 7 bereits nahezu vollständig abgebaut wird.How out Figure 14 becomes clear, the inflow-side housing part 7 and the outlet-side housing part 8 are detachably held together by a snap connection. In order to prevent the outlet-side housing part 8 from being pulled axially from the inflow-side housing part 7, the support shoulders on which both housing parts 7, 8 touch are designed in such a way that sufficiently large forces can be absorbed. In addition, the outlet-side housing part 8 is stiffened by radial longitudinal webs 22, which are arranged uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction in the region of the flow straightener 14 and thus in the region of the outlet opening. The longitudinal webs 22 provided on the rubber-elastic housing part 8, which lie very closely against the inner contour of the outlet mouthpiece 21, prevent the rubber-elastic housing part 8 from expanding and thus being able to be pulled off the housing part 7. In any case, the axial forces on the elastic housing part 8 caused by the water pressure are comparatively low, since the water pressure on the perforated plate in the housing part 7 serving as a jet splitting device 2 is already almost completely reduced.

In Figur 14 ist erkennbar, dass das auslaufseitige Gehäuseteil 8 im Bereich der Wasseraustrittsöffnung eine Einschnürung 23 aufweist, die eine Verengung des Durchflussquerschnittes bewirkt. Durch diese Verengung des Durchflussquerschnittes wird eine Kalibrierung des ausströmenden Wasserstrahls und eine Homogenisierung des Strahlbildes erreicht. Die Einschnürung 23 ist im Bereich der Wasseraustrittsöffnung und somit in einem Bereich vorgesehen, der eventuellen Störkonturen in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschaltet ist. Durch die Kalibrierung des Wasserstrahls wird ein homogenes und nicht-spritzendes Strahlbild wesentlich begünstigt.In Figure 14 it can be seen that the outlet-side housing part 8 has a constriction 23 in the region of the water outlet opening, which causes a narrowing of the flow cross-section. This narrowing of the flow cross-section achieves calibration of the outflowing water jet and homogenization of the jet pattern. The constriction 23 is provided in the area of the water outlet opening and thus in an area which is followed by possible interference contours in the flow direction. By calibrating the water jet, a homogeneous and non-spraying jet pattern is significantly favored.

In Figur 15 ist ein mit Figur 1 vergleichbarer Strahlregler 1 dargestellt. Während der in Figur 1 gezeigte Strahlregler eine Lochplatte als Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 2 aufweist, ist die Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 2 des in Figur 15 dargestellten Strahlreglers als Prallplatte ausgebildet. Die Verwendung einer als Prallplatte ausgestalteten Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung bietet sich an, wenn die damit verbundene Geräuschentwicklung zugunsten einer besonderen wirksamen Abbremsung des zuströmenden Flüssigkeitsstromes vernachlässigt werden kann. Aus dem Teil-Längsschnitt in Figur 15 wird deutlich, dass der zuströmende Flüssigkeitsstrom auf einer Plattenebene 26 auftrifft, die quer zur Zuströmrichtung beziehungsweise Strahlregler-Längsachse angeordnet ist. Von dieser Plattenebene 26 aus fließt der Flüssigkeitsstrom in radialer Richtung zu Durchflussöffnungen 27, die an der um die Plattenebene 26 umlaufenden Umfangswandung vorgesehen sind. Der in den Durchflussöffnungen 27 in Einzelstrahlen aufgeteilte Flüssigkeitsstrom kann anschließend zur Strahlreguliereinrichtung 4 und/oder zum Strömungsgleichrichter 14 weiterfließen, die der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 2 in Strömungsrichtung nachgeschaltet sind.In Figure 15 is a with Figure 1 comparable jet regulator 1 is shown. During the in Figure 1 The jet regulator shown has a perforated plate as the jet splitting device 2, the jet splitting device 2 is the one shown in FIG Figure 15 shown jet regulator designed as a baffle. The use of a jet dismantling device designed as a baffle plate offers itself if the associated noise development can be neglected in favor of a particularly effective braking of the inflowing liquid flow. From the partial longitudinal section in Figure 15 it becomes clear that the inflowing liquid flow strikes a plate plane 26, which is arranged transversely to the inflow direction or jet regulator longitudinal axis. From this plate plane 26, the liquid flow flows in the radial direction to flow openings 27, which are provided on the peripheral wall surrounding the plate plane 26. The liquid flow, which is divided into individual jets in the flow openings 27, can then flow further to the jet regulating device 4 and / or to the flow straightener 14, which are connected downstream of the jet separating device 2 in the flow direction.

Der in Figur 15 dargestellte Strahlregler weist ebenfalls ein Einbau-Gehäuse 6 auf, das in zwei lösbar miteinander verbindbare Gehäuseteile 7, 8 unterteilt ist. Während das zuströmseitige Gehäuseteil 7 mit der als Prallplatte ausgestalteten Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 2 fest und unlösbar verbunden ist, sind in das hülsenförmige abströmseitige Gehäuseteil 8 zwei Einsetzteile eingesetzt, die beide wabenförmige Durchflussöffnungen haben. Während das vergleichsweise dünne und mit kleinen Durchflussöffnungen versehene zuströmseitige Einsetzteil 5 als Strahlreguliereinrichtung dient, bildet das demgegenüber dickere und mit großen Durchflussöffnungen versehene abströmseitige Einsetzteil einen Strömungsgleichrichter, der die Einzelstrahlen zu einem homogenen Gesamtstrahl formt. Dabei liegt das den Strömungsgleichrichter bildende abströmseitige Einsetzteil auf einem radialen Umfangsrand 28 des Gehäuseteiles 8 auf, während sich das zuströmseitige Einsetzteil 5 auf dem abströmseitigen Einsetzteil mit einem zentralen Abstandhalter 29 abstützt.The in Figure 15 The jet regulator shown also has a built-in housing 6, which is subdivided into two housing parts 7, 8 which can be detachably connected to one another. While the inflow-side housing part 7 is firmly and permanently connected to the jet dismantling device 2 designed as a baffle plate, there are two in the sleeve-shaped outflow-side housing part 8 Insert parts used, both of which have honeycomb flow openings. While the comparatively thin inflow-side insert 5, which is provided with small throughflow openings, serves as a jet regulating device, the thicker and on the outflow-side insert part, which is provided with large throughflow openings, forms a flow straightener which forms the individual jets into a homogeneous overall jet. In this case, the outflow-side insert part forming the flow straightener lies on a radial peripheral edge 28 of the housing part 8, while the inflow-side insert part 5 is supported on the outflow-side insert part with a central spacer 29.
