Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Unterputzbox gemäß Anspruch 1 mit einem Armaturenkörper, die der Befestigung des Armaturenkörpers innerhalb eines Mauerdurchbruchs, einer Vertiefung in einer Wand oder einem sonstigem Träger dient. Insbesondere bei Einbauwänden und Vorwandsystemen haben sich solche Unterputzboxen bewährt.The present invention relates to a flush-mounted box according to claim 1 with a fitting body, which is used to attach the fitting body within a wall opening, a recess in a wall or other support. Such flush-mounted boxes have proven particularly useful for built-in walls and pre-wall systems.

Unterputzboxen bestehen regelmäßig zumindest teilweise aus Kunststoff und werden in die Vertiefung oder den Durchbruch einer Wand eingesetzt. Sie haben eine Größe, die so bemessen ist, dass der vordere Rand der Unterputzbox mit einer Frontseite der Wand fluchtet. Regelmäßig ist der vordere Rand der Unterputzbox jedoch zu lang oder zu kurz. Nach Fertigstellung einer Verfliesung wird dann vom Installateur der noch vorstehende Teil der Unterputzbox mit einem Messer oder einem Schneidgerät abgeschnitten oder es wird eine Verlängerung angebracht, sodass der vordere Rand der Unterputzbox bis zur Vorderseite der Wand ragt. Dies führt jedoch zu einem hohen Montageaufwand. Es sind zudem auch Unterputzboxen mit einem verstellbaren Befestigungsrahmen bekannt, mit dem eine Verlängerung der Unterputzbox vermeidbar ist. Zur Fixierung des Befestigungsrahmens in einer bestimmten Position an dem Gehäuse der Unterputzbox kommen beispielsweise Bajonettverschlüsse zur Anwendung. Zur Herstellung oder Lösung des Bajonettverschlusses zwischen dem Befestigungsrahmen und dem Gehäuse der Unterputzbox muss durch den Installateur ein komplexer Bewegungsablauf durchgeführt werden. Dies ist umständlich und zeitaufwändig.Flush-mounted boxes are regularly at least partially made of plastic and are used in the recess or the opening in a wall. You have a size that is dimensioned so that the front edge of the flush-mounted box is flush with a front side of the wall. However, the front edge of the flush-mounted box is usually too long or too short. After completion of a tiling, the installer then cuts off the part of the flush-mounted box that is still protruding with a knife or cutter, or an extension is attached so that the front edge of the flush-mounted box protrudes to the front of the wall. However, this leads to a high installation effort. Flush-mounted boxes with an adjustable mounting frame are also known, with which an extension of the flush-mounted box can be avoided. Bayonet catches, for example, are used to fix the fastening frame in a certain position on the housing of the flush-mounted box. To produce or release the bayonet lock between the mounting frame and the housing of the flush-mounted box, a complex sequence of movements must be carried out by the installer. This is cumbersome and time consuming.

Diesbezüglich beschreibt das Dokument EP2626484A2 eine Montagehilfe für Installationen in Betonwänden. Das Dokument DE102014103713B3 beschreibt ein elektrisches/elektronisches Installationsgerät für die Gebäudesystemtechnik. Das Dokument DE102008064253B3 be schreibt einen Unterputzkasten zur Befestigung von Sanitärbauteilen. Das Dokument DE102013003823A1 beschreibt eine Unterputz-Sanitärarmatur mit einer Rosette. Das Dokument EP2468964A1 offenbart ein modulares Unterputz-System.In this regard, the document describes EP2626484A2 a mounting aid for installations in concrete walls. The document DE102014103713B3 describes an electrical/electronic installation device for building system technology. The document DE102008064253B3 be writes a flush-mounted box for attaching sanitary components. The document DE102013003823A1 describes a concealed sanitary fitting with a rosette. The document EP2468964A1 discloses a modular concealed system.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher, die mit Bezug auf den Stand der Technik geschilderten Probleme zumindest teilweise zu lösen und insbesondere eine Unterputzbox anzugeben, deren Befestigungsring mit geringem Aufwand an einem Gehäuse der Unterputzbox befestigbar ist.The object of the invention is therefore to at least partially solve the problems described with reference to the prior art and in particular to specify a flush-mounted box whose fastening ring can be fastened to a housing of the flush-mounted box with little effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst mit einer Unterputzbox gemäß den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Unterputzbox sind in den abhängig formulierten Patentansprüchen angegeben. Es ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass die in den abhängig formulierten Patentansprüchen einzeln aufgeführten Merkmale in beliebiger, technologisch sinnvoller Weise miteinander kombiniert werden können und weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung definieren. Darüber hinaus werden die in den Patentansprüchen angegebenen Merkmale in der Beschreibung näher präzisiert und erläutert, wobei weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung dargestellt werden.This object is achieved with a flush-mounted box according to the features of the independent patent claim. Further advantageous configurations of the flush-mounted box are specified in the dependently formulated patent claims. It should be pointed out that the features listed individually in the dependently formulated patent claims can be combined with one another in any technologically meaningful manner and define further refinements of the invention. In addition, the features specified in the patent claims are specified and explained in more detail in the description, with further preferred configurations of the invention being presented.

Die erfindungsgemäße Unterputzbox mit einem Armaturenkörper weist zumindest die folgenden Komponenten auf:

  1. a) ein Gehäuse mit einem Aufnahmeraum für den Armaturenkörper, wobei das Gehäuse zumindest einen Rastbereich aufweist,
  2. b) einen Befestigungsrahmen zur Befestigung der Unterputzbox an einem Träger, wobei der Befestigungsrahmen zumindest ein Federelement aufweist, das zum Befestigen des Befestigungsrahmens an dem Gehäuse in den zumindest einen Rastbereich des Gehäuses einrastbar ist, und
  3. c) zumindest einen Clip zur Sicherung des zumindest einen Federelements an dem zumindest einen Rastbereich des Gehäuses.
The flush-mounted box according to the invention with a fitting body has at least the following components:
  1. a) a housing with a receiving space for the fitting body, the housing having at least one latching area,
  2. b) a fastening frame for fastening the flush-mounted box to a carrier, the fastening frame having at least one spring element which can be snapped into the at least one latching area of the housing in order to fasten the fastening frame to the housing, and
  3. c) at least one clip for securing the at least one spring element to the at least one latching area of the housing.

Die Unterputzbox dient der Montage eines Armaturenkörpers in einem Mauerdurchbruch, einer Vertiefung in einer Wand oder dergleichen. Bei dem Armaturenkörper kann es sich beispielweise um ein Mischventil, eine Mischkartusche und/oder ein Absperrventil handeln oder der Armaturenkörper kann solche Komponenten umfassen. Die Unterputzbox wird insbesondere für Duschen oder Badewannen verwendet und zu diesem Zweck im Bereich einer Dusche oder Badewanne angeordnet.The flush-mounted box is used to mount a fitting body in a wall opening, a recess in a wall or the like. The faucet body can be, for example, a mixing valve, a mixing cartridge and/or a shut-off valve, or the faucet body can include such components. The flush-mounted box is used in particular for showers or bathtubs and is arranged in the area of a shower or bathtub for this purpose.

Die Unterputzbox weist ein Gehäuse mit einem Aufnahmeraum für den Armaturenkörper auf. Der Armaturenkörper ist in dem Aufnahmeraum zumindest teilweise angeordnet. Das Gehäuse besteht insbesondere zumindest teilweise aus Kunststoff und/oder ist insbesondere zumindest teilweise zylinderförmig beziehungsweise rohrförmig ausgebildet. Der zylinderförmige oder rohrförmige Bereich des Gehäuses definiert insbesondere eine Längsrichtung der Unterputzbox. Das Gehäuse muss jedoch keine zylinderförmige Außenkontur aufweisen, was einen weiteren Vorteil gegenüber einem mittels eines Bajonettverschlusses an der Unterputzbox befestigten Befestigungsrahmen darstellt. Das Gehäuse weist an einer äußeren Umfangsfläche zumindest einen Rastbereich auf, der der Befestigung eines Befestigungsrahmens der Unterputzbox dient.The flush-mounted box has a housing with a receiving space for the fitting body. The fitting body is at least partially arranged in the receiving space. The housing consists in particular at least partially of plastic and/or is in particular at least partially in the form of a cylinder or tube. The cylindrical or tubular area of the housing defines in particular a longitudinal direction of the flush-mounted box. However, the housing does not have to have a cylindrical outer contour, which represents a further advantage over a fastening frame fastened to the flush-mounted box by means of a bayonet catch. The housing has at least one latching area on an outer peripheral surface, which is used to fasten a fastening frame of the flush-mounted box.

Der Befestigungsrahmen kann beispielsweise nach Art eines Flanschs oder Rings ausgeführt sein, der insbesondere eine Öffnung aufweist, dessen Durchmesser im Wesentlichen einem Außendurchmesser des Gehäuses entspricht. Hierdurch ist der Befestigungsrahmen auf das Gehäuse aufsteckbar. Der Befestigungsrahmen dient der Befestigung der Unterputzbox an einem Träger. Bei dem Träger kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Wand oder einen Ständer handeln. Der Befestigungsrahmen weist ferner zumindest ein Federelement auf, das zum Befestigen des Befestigungsrahmens an dem Gehäuse in den zumindest einen Rastbereich des Gehäuses einrastbar ist. Das zumindest eine Federelement ist beim Aufstecken federnd verstellbar und bevorzugt in einer Mehrzahl von Raststellungen entlang der Längsrichtung der Unterputzbox in dem zumindest einen Rastbereich des Gehäuses einrastbar. Weiterhin kann der Befestigungsrahmen zumindest ein Loch aufweisen, durch das der Befestigungsrahmen beispielsweise mittels zumindest einer Schraube an dem Träger befestigbar ist.The fastening frame can be designed, for example, in the manner of a flange or ring, which in particular has an opening whose diameter essentially corresponds to an outer diameter of the housing. As a result, the mounting frame can be plugged onto the housing. The mounting frame is used to attach the flush-mounted box to a support. The support can be a wall or a stand, for example. The fastening frame also has at least one spring element which can be snapped into the at least one latching area of the housing in order to fasten the fastening frame to the housing. The at least one spring element is resiliently adjustable when plugged in and can preferably be locked in a plurality of locking positions along the longitudinal direction of the flush-mounted box in the at least one locking area of the housing. Furthermore, the fastening frame can have at least one hole through which the fastening frame can be fastened to the carrier, for example by means of at least one screw.

Weiterhin weist die Unterputzbox zumindest einen Clip zur Sicherung des zumindest einen Federelements an dem zumindest einen Rastbereich des Gehäuses auf. Mittels des Clips ist ein Auslenken des zumindest einen Federelements nach dem Einrasten in den zumindest einen Rastbereich verhinderbar, sodass der Befestigungsrahmen relativ zu dem Gehäuse im Wesentlichen nicht verstellbar beziehungsweise von dem Gehäuse nicht mehr lösbar ist. Der zumindest eine Clip dient insbesondere der formschlüssigen Verriegelung des zumindest einen Federelements. Durch das zumindest eine Federelement und den zumindest einen Rastbereich muss der Befestigungsring bei der Montage an dem Gehäuse nur linear auf das Gehäuse aufgeschoben und mittels des Clips an dem zumindest einen Rastbereichs gesichert werden. Es ist keine zusätzliche Drehbewegung notwendig. Hierdurch wird die Montage der Unterputzbox, bei der regelmäßig eingeschränkt Sichtverhältnisse herrschen, erleichtert.Furthermore, the flush-mounted box has at least one clip for securing the at least one spring element to the at least one latching area of the housing. The clip can be used to prevent the at least one spring element from deflecting after it has latched into the at least one latching area, so that the fastening frame is essentially relative to the housing is not adjustable or can no longer be detached from the housing. The at least one clip is used in particular for positive locking of the at least one spring element. Due to the at least one spring element and the at least one latching area, the fastening ring only has to be pushed linearly onto the housing during assembly on the housing and secured to the at least one latching area by means of the clip. No additional turning movement is necessary. This facilitates the installation of the flush-mounted box, where visibility is regularly restricted.

Ebenfalls vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der zumindest eine Rastbereich zumindest eine Raste aufweist. Die zumindest eine Raste ist derart ausgebildet, dass das zumindest eine Federelement in die zumindest eine Raste einrasten kann. Bei der zumindest einen Raste handelt es sich insbesondere um einen Vorsprung, der sich in einer radialen Richtung von der äußeren Umfangsfläche des Gehäuses erhebt. Die zumindest eine Raste kann zudem einen dreieckigen oder anderen Querschnitt aufweisen.It is also advantageous if the at least one latching area has at least one latch. The at least one catch is designed in such a way that the at least one spring element can engage in the at least one catch. The at least one catch is in particular a projection that rises in a radial direction from the outer peripheral surface of the housing. The at least one catch can also have a triangular or other cross-section.

Zudem ist es vorteilhaft, wenn sich die zumindest eine Raste in eine Umfangsrichtung oder tangential zu einer Umfangsfläche des Gehäuses erstreckt. Die zumindest eine Raste kann sich dabei beispielsweise um 3 mm (Millimeter) bis 50 mm in die Umfangsrichtung des Gehäuses oder tangential zu der Umfangsfläche des Gehäuses erstrecken. Weiterhin kann der zumindest eine Rastbereich in einer Längsrichtung des Gehäuses eine Mehrzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Rasten, beispielsweise 2 bis 20 Rasten, aufweisen.In addition, it is advantageous if the at least one catch extends in a circumferential direction or tangentially to a circumferential surface of the housing. The at least one catch can extend, for example, by 3 mm (millimeters) to 50 mm in the circumferential direction of the housing or tangentially to the circumferential surface of the housing. Furthermore, the at least one latching area can have a plurality of latches arranged next to one another in a longitudinal direction of the housing, for example 2 to 20 latches.

Ebenfalls vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das zumindest eine Federelement als Federzunge ausgebildet ist. Die Federzunge weist eine Zungenbasis auf, mit der die Federzunge mit dem Befestigungsrahmen, insbesondere im Bereich der Öffnung des Befestigungsrahmens, verbunden ist. Die Federzunge erstreckt sich von der Zungenbasis bis zu einer elastisch auslenkbaren Zungenspitze.It is also advantageous if the at least one spring element is designed as a spring tongue. The spring tongue has a tongue base with which the spring tongue is connected to the fastening frame, in particular in the area of the opening of the fastening frame. The spring tongue extends from the tongue base to an elastically deflectable tongue tip.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn sich das zumindest eine Federelement in eine Längsrichtung des Gehäuses erstreckt und in eine radiale Richtung des Gehäuses auslenkbar ist. Die Auslenkung des zumindest einen Federelements erfolgt insbesondere durch die Rasten des zumindest einen Rastbereichs beim Aufstecken des Befestigungsrahmens auf das Gehäuse. Die Auslenkung erfolgt dabei durch eine elastische Verformung des zumindest einen Federelements.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the at least one spring element extends in a longitudinal direction of the housing and can be deflected in a radial direction of the housing. The at least one spring element is deflected in particular by the detents of the at least one detent area when the fastening frame is pushed onto the housing. The deflection takes place through an elastic deformation of the at least one spring element.

Darüber hinaus ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das zumindest eine Federelement zumindest eine Rastnase aufweist, die in den zumindest einen Rastbereich eingreift. Die Rastnase erstreckt sich dabei insbesondere radial nach innen. Insbesondere weist jedes Federelement zwei Rastnasen auf.In addition, it is advantageous if the at least one spring element has at least one latching lug which engages in the at least one latching area. The detent extends in particular radially inwards. In particular, each spring element has two latching lugs.

Zudem ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Befestigungsrahmen in einer Mehrzahl von Positionen in einer Längsrichtung des Gehäuses mit dem zumindest einem Federelement an dem zumindest einen Rastbereich des Gehäuses befestigbar ist. Mit anderen Worten weist der Befestigungsrahmen relativ zu dem Gehäuse eine Mehrzahl von Raststellungen in der Längsrichtung des Gehäuses auf.In addition, it is advantageous if the fastening frame can be fastened in a plurality of positions in a longitudinal direction of the housing with the at least one spring element on the at least one latching area of the housing. In other words, the fastening frame has a plurality of locking positions relative to the housing in the longitudinal direction of the housing.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Befestigungsrahmen auf das Gehäuse aufsteckbar ist. Hierzu weist der Befestigungsrahmen die Öffnung auf, in die das Gehäuse steckbar ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the mounting frame can be plugged onto the housing. For this purpose, the mounting frame has the opening into which the housing can be plugged.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn mit dem zumindest einen Clip ein Auslenken des zumindest einen Federelements nach dem Einrasten in den zumindest einen Rastbereich verhinderbar ist. Der zumindest eine Clip verriegelt das zumindest eine Federelement hierzu insbesondere formschlüssig.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the at least one clip can be used to prevent deflection of the at least one spring element after it has latched into the at least one latching area. The at least one clip locks the at least one spring element for this purpose, in particular in a form-fitting manner.

Vorzugsweise ist der zumindest eine Clip zwischen einer Montagestellung und einer Sicherungsstellung verschiebbar an dem Befestigungsrahmen gelagert. Insbesondere ist der zumindest eine Clip in der Längsrichtung des Gehäuses zwischen der Montagestellung und der Sicherungsstellung verschiebbar. In der Montagestellung ist das zumindest eine Federelement freigegeben, sodass dieses durch die zumindest eine Raste des zumindest einen Rastbereichs bei einer Bewegung des Befestigungsrahmens in der Längsrichtung auslenkbar ist. Nach Erreichen der gewünschten Raststellung des Befestigungsrahmens ist der zumindest eine Clip aus der Montagestellung in die Sicherungsstellung verschiebbar, sodass das zumindest eine Federelement nicht mehr auslenkbar und somit der Befestigungsrahmen in der entsprechenden Raststellung gesichert ist.The at least one clip is preferably mounted on the fastening frame so that it can be displaced between a mounting position and a securing position. In particular, the at least one clip is between the mounting position and the securing position in the longitudinal direction of the housing movable. In the assembly position, the at least one spring element is released so that it can be deflected by the at least one catch of the at least one catch area when the fastening frame moves in the longitudinal direction. After reaching the desired locking position of the fastening frame, the at least one clip can be moved from the assembly position into the securing position, so that the at least one spring element can no longer be deflected and the fastening frame is thus secured in the corresponding locking position.

Das Gehäuse 3 weist einen rohrförmigen Abschnitt 30 auf, der eine Längsrichtung 11 der Unterputzbox 1 definiert. In dem Gehäuse 3 ist ein hier nicht zu erkennender Aufnahmeraum 4 ausgebildet, in dem ein Anschlussring 16 und ein hier nicht gezeigter Armaturenkörper 2 angeordnet sind. Das Gehäuse 3 weist auf einer äußeren Umfangsfläche 31 vier Rastbereiche 5 auf, von denen in der Fig. 1 nur zwei erkennbar sind. Die Rastbereiche 5 sind in einer Umfangsrichtung 12 des Gehäuses 3 versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Weiterhin weisen die Rastbereiche jeweils eine Mehrzahl von Rasten 9 auf, die in der Längsrichtung 11 benachbart zueinander angeordnet sind. Der Befestigungsrahmen 6 ist in der Längsrichtung 11 auf das Gehäuse 3 der Unterputzbox 1 aufsteckbar. Zu diesem Zweck weist der Befestigungsrahmen 6 eine Öffnung 15 auf, dessen Durchmesser im Wesentlichen einem Außendurchmesser des Gehäuses 3 entspricht. Weiterhin weist der Befestigungsrahmen 6 vier Federelemente 7 auf, von denen in der Fig. 1 lediglich ein Federelement 7 zu erkennen ist. Die Federelemente 7 sind hier nach Art von Federzungen 10 ausgebildet. Die Federelemente 7 erstrecken sich in der Längsrichtung 11. Weiterhin umfasst jedes Federelement 7 zwei Rastnasen 32, die sich in einer radialen Richtung 33 nach innen erstrecken. Beim Aufstecken des Befestigungsrahmens 6 auf das Gehäuse 3 werden die Federelemente 7 durch die Rasten 9 der Rastbereiche 5 in der radialen Richtung 33 nach außen ausgelenkt, bis dass eine der Rasten 9 zwischen den beiden Rastnasen 32 einrastet. In dieser Position schnappen die Federelemente 7 in der radialen Richtung 33 nach innen zurück, sodass der Befestigungsrahmen 6 an dem Gehäuse 3 vorfixiert ist. Jedem der Federelemente 7 ist ein Clip 8 zugeordnet, der verschiebbar an dem Befestigungsrahmen 6 gelagert ist. Die Clips 8 befinden sich hier in einer Montagestellung 13, in der die Federelemente 7 durch die Rasten 9 der Rastbereiche 5 in der radialen Richtung 33 nach außen verstellbar sind.the 1 shows a flush-mounted box 1 in a perspective view before a mounting frame 6 has been attached to a housing 3 of the flush-mounted box 1 .
