- a contact surface 18 is formed.
- a corresponding mating surface 19 is formed, which cooperates with the contact surface 18 such that the mating surface 19 abuts flat in the open position of the component 6 on the contact surface 18.
- the contact surface 18 is arranged at a distance from the counter surface 19.
- the mating surface 19 is accessible from the flow path 15 in the closed position and is therefore wetted in the presence of water in the flow path 15.
- At the serving as a valve element member 6 also has an application surface 20 is formed.
- the loading surface 20 is oriented downwards, while the contact surface 18 is oriented upwards. In other words, the loading surface 20 is aligned in a direction away from the contact surface 6.
- a displacement body 21 is formed, which fits into a receiving space 22.
- the displacement body 21 is shown here only by way of example with a cylindrical shape.
- the displacement body 21 is guided displaceably in the receiving space 22 by its inner contour.
- the displacement body 21 fills 21 the receiving space 22 completely.
- the displacement body 21 is partially disposed outside of the receiving space 22 and projects into this only as far as it is necessary for the mentioned sliding guide.
- a plurality of relief channels 24 are formed, via which water, which is displaced from the receiving space 22, can flow back into the flow path 15.
- the rod-shaped transmission element 9 is formed, which is operable from the outside via the actuating element 7.
- the transmission element 9 is displaceably guided in a honeycomb-shaped and with honeycomb-shaped flow holes provided outlet end face 25 of the functional unit and acts as the valve element serving member 6 from below, at the Loading area 20.
- the transmission element 9 is formed separately from the valve element, so that a part of the loading surface 20 with the transmission element 9 can be covered and released. In this case, this part of the loading surface 20 is covered for example in Figure 3 and released in Figure 5.
- the loading surface 20 is arranged upstream of the valve seat 26 in the flow path 15.
- the valve seat 26 forms a flow obstruction in the flow path 15, so that a pressure builds up in front of the valve seat 26 which holds the component 6 serving as a valve element in the open position.
- the contact surface 18 and the loading surface 20 are formed on a circumferential rim 17 of the valve element serving as a component 6.
- the rim 17 partially closes the valve seat 26 in the firing position in order to achieve an additional constriction.
- flattenings 28 are formed on the brim 17, which in itself describes a round basic shape, which each form passage gaps on the valve seat 26.
- valve member 6 Serving as a valve member 6 is in the flow path 15 of the known flow regulator 11 or other Mengenbegrenzer, for example, the throttle 11 shown in FIGS. 16 and 18 upstream, by which in the vicinity of the valve member 17 defined ratios are adjustable.
- the maximum flow capacity of the functional unit 4 can be limited or adjusted to a predetermined pressure-independent maximum value.
- the abutment surface 18 is formed on the component 6 serving as a valve element on the inflow side, so that this valve element is guided into the closed position by the flow pressure and held in the closed position as soon as the abutment surface 18 is released from the counter surface 19.
- the displacement body 21 and overall the entire component 6 are made of brass.
- the transmission element 9 and the actuating element 7 formed annularly are made of plastic, as is the housing 16 with the outflow structure 25.
- FIG. 1 shows the idle state of the functional unit 4 located in the sanitary unit 1.
- ment serving component 6 arranged in the closed position.
- the flow along the flow path 15 is thus defined by the component 6 serving as valve element and in particular the flattenings 28 in the valve seat 26.
- the serving as a valve element member 6 is pressed with its contact surface 18 against the counter surface 19 on the housing 16. In this open position, the loading surface 20 is acted upon by the pressure built up or prevailing in the flow path 15, so that the component 6 serving as valve element is held in the open position.
- the component 6 serving as a valve element also remains in the open position when the transmission element 9 is left to itself and releases itself from the component 6 designed as a valve element and falls downwards. This holding in the open position takes place as long as water flows in the flow path 15 and the pressure necessary there is established.
- valve seat 26 In the open position, the valve seat 26 has a maximum free inner cross-section, so that the flow rate is increased compared to the closed position.
- a contact surface 18 is thus formed on a valve element (component 6) which can be adjusted in a flow path 15 between an open position and a closed position, which in the open position covers a corresponding, stationary counter-surface 19 and in which Closed position is free, so that the valve element 17 is automatically held by the pressure in the flow path in the open position and returns to pressure in the closed position.
- the functional unit 4 automatically returns after a use to the limiting operation, in which the component 6 serving as valve element in the closed position restricts the flow path 15 more strongly than in the open position.
- the serving as a valve element member 6 can be automatically set durable in the open position, as long as enough water flows in the flow path and thus a sufficient pressure is built up.
- This facilitates the use, since the user can serve as a valve element serving component 6, for example, manually, via the actuating ring 7 and the transmission element 9, manually in the open position, but does not have to hold the valve element serving as a component 6 in this open position.
- This improves the performance characteristics of the sanitary unit 1, at the same time legal requirements, according to which the default setting in normal operation, the flow-limited Attitude to be, is achievable.
- the sanitary units 116, 118 shown in FIGS. 16 and 18 also have a sanitary functional unit 4, which has a functional element 5 designed as a ventilated jet regulator or jet aerator.
- a functional element 5 designed as a ventilated jet regulator or jet aerator.
- the sanitary unit 116 according to FIG. 16 there is the possibility that water can pass from the outflow side between the housing outer wall 16 and the guide inner wall 29.
- the functional unit 4 of the sanitary unit 118 shown in Figure 18 has a jet aerator, the ambient air is sucked in there from the downstream housing end face in the housing interior of the insert housing of the functional unit 4 and takes there between the housing outer wall 16 and the guide inner wall 29 eventually penetrating water ,
- the ambient air in the sanitary unit 118 is sucked through the annular space 30 and along the inner circumference of the guide inner wall 29 into the housing interior of the insertion housing of the functional unit 4, because of the front side of the functional unit 4, as in the region of the reference numeral "8" the functional unit 4 has on its insertion housing peripherally no comparable suction openings.
