Lights (6) are fastened in the main body (4, 5) of the nozzle, near a water outlet opening (12). In novel design, the water outlet opening is formed in a separate covering component (11) which overlaps the illumination unit (6). The water outlet opening is located centrally above the illumination unit (6). The lights are fixed centrally on a carrier (4). A connector (5) for a water hose is attached to the main body. This is optionally also attached to an object acting as a source of water (e.g. a rock).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung eines beleuchteten Wasserstrahls nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Derartige Vorrichtungen verfügen üblicherweise über einen Grundkörper, an dem zumindest ein Leuchtmittel befestigt ist. Eine Wasserführung erstreckt sich - meist durch den Grundkörper hindurch - und endet in einer Strahl bildenden Wasseraustrittsöffnung.The invention relates to a device for generating an illuminated water jet according to the preamble of claim 1. Such devices usually have a base body to which at least one light source is attached. A water guide extends - usually through the body through - and ends in a jet-forming water outlet opening.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 20 2005 011 205 U21 bekannt. Bei der dort beschriebenen Leuchte sind Leuchtmittel in Form von LEDs an der oberen Stirnseite des ringförmigen Grundkörpers angeordnet und beleuchten den Wasserstrahl von der Seite, nachdem er die Vorrichtung über die Wasseraustrittsöffnung verlassen hat. Diese vorbekannte Brunnenleuchte illuminiert den Wasserstrahl durch die Anleuchtung von außen nur unzureichend. Außerdem treten die sichtbaren Leuchtmittel sowohl bei Betrieb der Vorrichtung aber auch insbesondere wenn diese nicht in Gebrauch ist optisch stark, teilweise sogar störend hervor. Besonders bei Verwendung in naturnahen Arrangements wird diese sichtbare Technik oft als störend empfunden. Schließlich sind die Leuchtmittel durch ihre Anordnung leicht mechanischen Beschädigungen ausgesetzt, so dass ein hoher Wartungsbedarf besteht.Such a device is known for example from German Utility Model 20 2005 011 205 U21. In the luminaire described there, light sources in the form of LEDs are arranged on the upper front side of the annular base body and illuminate the water jet from the side after it has left the device via the water outlet opening. This previously known fountain light illuminates the water jet by the illumination from the outside only inadequate. In addition, the visible bulbs occur both in operation of the device but also especially when it is not in use optically strong, sometimes even disturbing. Especially when used in close-to-nature arrangements, this visible technique is often perceived as disturbing. Finally, the bulbs are easily exposed by their arrangement mechanical damage, so there is a high need for maintenance.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die in ihrem Anwendungsspektrum diesbezüglich verbessert ist. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a generic device that is improved in this respect its scope of application. This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1.

Durch das Vorsehen eines das bzw. die Leuchtmittel übergreifenden, separaten Abdeckelementes, das erst die Wasserstrahl bildende Wasseraustrittsöffnung enthält, wird einerseits eine optisch ansprechende Gestaltung und andererseits ein mechanischer Schutz für die Leuchtmittel geschaffen. Die Reparaturanfälligkeit einer derartigen Vorrichtung vermindert sich damit erheblich. Außerdem wird durch die Anordnung des Leuchtmittels unterhalb bzw. innerhalb des Abdeckelementes der Wasserstrahl gleichsam von innen heraus illuminiert, was einen wesentlich attraktiveren Lichteffekt ergibt.By providing a the lamp or the cross-over, separate cover, which contains only the water jet forming water outlet, on the one hand a visually appealing design and on the other hand, a mechanical protection for the light source is created. The repair vulnerability of such a device is thus reduced considerably. In addition, the water jet is illuminated as it were from the inside out by the arrangement of the bulb below or within the cover, resulting in a much more attractive lighting effect.

Bevorzugt ist die Wasseraustrittsöffnung im wesentlichen zentral über dem Leuchtmittel bzw. den Leuchtmitteln angeordnet. Die Leuchtmittel sind wegen ihrer kompakten Bauweise und hohen Lichtausbeute bei geringem Stromverbrauch vorzugsweise LEDs.Preferably, the water outlet opening is arranged substantially centrally above the lighting means or the lighting means. The bulbs are preferably LEDs because of their compact design and high light output with low power consumption.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Quellobjekt in Form eines Quellsteins 1 dargestellt, durch den sich eine Wasserleitung 2 hindurcherstreckt. Am oberen Ende der Wasserleitung 2 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung angebracht, die einen illuminierten Wasserstrahl 3 erzeugt. Die näheren Details der Vorrichtung sind insbesondere in den Fig. 2 und 3 zu erkennen.In Fig. 1 a source object in the form of a source stone 1 is shown, through which a water pipe 2 extends. At the upper end of the water pipe 2, a device according to the invention is mounted, which generates an illuminated water jet 3. The details of the device are particularly in the Fig. 2 and 3 to recognize.

Die Vorrichtung besitzt einen Grundkörper, der einstückig ausgebildet sein kann, jedoch bevorzugt wie dargestellt aus zumindest zwei Elementen, nämlich einem Leuchtmittelträger 4 und einem Anschlussstück 5 besteht. Dies hat fertigungstechnisch den Vorteil, dass der Leuchtmittelträger 4 mit den elektrischen Komponenten vorkonfektioniert und anschließend mit dem rein mechanischen Bauteil des Anschlussstückes 5 verbunden werden kann. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei den Leuchtmitteln 6 um LEDs, die auf einer Platine 7 befestigt und mit einer elektrischen Zuleitung 8 verbunden sind. Diese Leuchtmittel 6 sind an dem Leuchtmittelträger 4 vorzugsweise zentral festgelegt, beispielsweise indem sie durch entsprechende Öffnungen des Leuchtmittelträgers 4 von unten hindurch gesteckt sind. Übergänge, Schaltungen und Lötstellen oder dergleichen können von einer Vergussmasse 9 geschützt umgeben sein, die gleichzeitig die Leuchtmittel 6 an dem Leuchtmittelträger 4 festhalten kann. Der Leuchtmittelträger 4 kann mit dem Anschlussstück 5 verbunden sein. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform geschieht dies über eine Rastverbindung, bei der ein flanschartiger Vorsprung 41 des Leuchtmittelträgers 4 entsprechend im Anschlussstück 5 ausgebildete Rastnocken 51 rastend untergreift. Die Verbindung kann jedoch auch auf andere Art und Weise bewirkt werden. Es ist insbesondere auch möglich, dass Leuchtmittelträger 4 und Anschlussstück 5 erst indirekt durch ein im Folgenden näher beschriebenes Abdeckelement 11 verbunden werden.The device has a base body, which may be formed in one piece, but preferably as shown, consists of at least two elements, namely a light source carrier 4 and a connecting piece 5. This has manufacturing technology the advantage that the light source carrier 4 can be prefabricated with the electrical components and then connected to the purely mechanical component of the connecting piece 5. The light-emitting means 6 are preferably LEDs which are fastened on a circuit board 7 and connected to an electrical supply line 8. These lamps 6 are preferably centrally fixed to the illuminant carrier 4, for example, by being inserted through corresponding openings of the illuminant carrier 4 from below. Transitions Circuits and solder joints or the like may be surrounded protected by a potting compound 9, which can simultaneously hold the bulbs 6 to the light source carrier 4. The illuminant carrier 4 may be connected to the connector 5. In the illustrated embodiment, this is done via a snap-in connection, in which a flange-like projection 41 of the illuminant carrier 4 engages correspondingly latching cam 51 formed in the connection piece 5. However, the connection can also be effected in other ways. In particular, it is also possible for the illuminant carrier 4 and connection piece 5 to be connected only indirectly by a cover element 11 described in more detail below.

Das als Düsenkopf ausgebildete Abdeckelement 11 umgibt den Leuchtmittelträger 4 und damit den oberen Teil des Grundkörpers. Es schützt so die Leuchtmittel 6 vor mechanischen Beschädigungen, wenn beispielsweise Gegenstände auf die Vorrichtung fallen. Der Wasserstrahl 3 wird erst im Abdeckelement 11 und durch dessen Kontur gebildet und verlässt die Vorrichtung an einer obenseitigen düsenartigen Wasseraustrittsöffnung 12. In Fig. 3 ist die in der Vorrichtung ausgebildete Wasserführung, die sich durch den Grundkörper und das Abdeckelement 11 erstreckt, anhand von Pfeilen verdeutlicht. Dabei durchströmt das zugeführte Wasser das Anschlussstück 5 des Grundkörpers zunächst entlang seiner Längsmittelachse 15 und wird dann im weiteren Verlauf durch eine Prallfläche 16 abgelenkt und verlässt das Innere des Grundkörpers durch eine oder mehrere Durchbrüche 17, die bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform in den Seitenwandungen des Leuchtmittelträgers 4 ausgebildet sind, jedoch auch durchaus bereits im Anschlussstück 5 vorgesehen sein können. Das Wasser wird dann weiter an der Außenseite des Grundkörpers, hier des Leuchtmittelträgers 4, entlang geleitet, wobei der Grundkörper und das Abdeckelement 11 zwischen sich einen spaltförmigen Teil der Wasserführung ausbilden.The cover element 11 designed as a nozzle head surrounds the illuminant carrier 4 and thus the upper part of the main body. It thus protects the lamps 6 from mechanical damage, for example, when objects fall on the device. The water jet 3 is first formed in the cover element 11 and by its contour and leaves the device at an upper-side nozzle-like water outlet opening 12 Fig. 3 is formed in the device water supply, which extends through the main body and the cover 11, illustrated by arrows. In this case, the supplied water flows through the connecting piece 5 of the main body along its longitudinal central axis 15 and is then deflected in the further course by a baffle 16 and leaves the interior of the body by one or more openings 17, in the illustrated embodiment in the side walls of the illuminant carrier 4th are formed, but also quite in the connector 5 may be provided. The water is then further directed along the outside of the main body, here the illuminant carrier 4, along, wherein the base body and the cover 11 between them form a slit-shaped part of the water supply.

Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform handelt es sich dabei um einen Ringspalt, so daß der Leuchtmittelträger 4 an allen Seitenwänden und seiner Oberseite umströmt wird. Im Rahmen der Wasserführung laufen die Wandungen des Abdeckelementes 11 zur Wasseraustrittsöffnung 12 zusammen, woraus sich ein düsenartiger Effekt zur Wasserstrahlbildung ergibt. Vorzugsweise hat das Abdeckelement 11 daher im oberen Bereich eine konische Innenkontur 13. Die Leuchtmittel 6 befinden sich innerhalb des sich formenden Wasserstrahls 3 und noch unterhalb der Wasseraustrittsöffnung 12 und sorgen dafür, dass nur der beleuchtete Wasserstrahl sichtbar wird. Dies garantiert eine perfekte Illumination, selbst wenn die Düse unter einem beliebigen Winkel geneigt eingebaut ist.In the illustrated embodiment, this is an annular gap, so that the illuminant carrier 4 is flowed around on all side walls and its top. As part of the water supply, the walls of the cover 11 run together to the water outlet opening 12, resulting in a nozzle-like effect for water jet formation. The cover element 11 therefore preferably has a conical inner contour 13 in the upper region. The light sources 6 are located inside the water jet 3 that is forming and still below the water outlet opening 12 and ensure that only the illuminated water jet becomes visible. This guarantees perfect illumination, even when the nozzle is installed inclined at any angle.

Die Breite des sich zwischen dem Leuchtmittelträger 4 und dem Abdeckelement 11 ausbildenden Spalts S /siehe Fig. 2) kann bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform durch die Verbindung des Abdeckelementes 11 mit dem Grundkörper variiert werden. Bevorzugt erfolgt dies wie dargestellt durch eine Schraubverbindung, über die das Abdeckelement 11 mehr oder weniger tief auf den Grundkörper aufgeschraubt werden kann. Eine von außen ansprechende, saubere und auch fertigungstechnisch günstige Ausführung ergibt sich dabei, wenn in dem Abdeckelement 11 ein Innengewinde und an dem Grundkörper, insbesondere dem Anschlussstück 5 ein entsprechendes Außengewinde vorgesehen wird. Andere Verbindungsmöglichkeiten, beispielsweise durch Rastrillen etc. sind jedoch ebenfalls möglich. Durch Verdrehen (bei einer Schraubverbindung) bzw. Herunterdrücken oder Anheben (bei anderen Verbindungsarten) kann somit auf einfache Weise die austretende Wassermenge und damit die Form des Strahls 3 variiert werden und eine Durchflussmengenregulierung vorgenommen werden.The width of the gap S / forming between the illuminant carrier 4 and the cover element 11, see Fig. 2 ) can be varied in the illustrated embodiment by the connection of the cover 11 with the body. This is preferably done as shown by a screw through which the cover 11 can be screwed more or less deeply on the body. An externally appealing, clean and also manufacturing technology favorable design results when in the cover 11, an internal thread and on the base body, in particular the connector 5, a corresponding external thread is provided. Other connection options, for example by locking grooves, etc., however, are also possible. By turning (in a screw) or pressing down or lifting (in other types of connections) can thus be varied in a simple manner, the exiting amount of water and thus the shape of the beam 3 and a flow rate adjustment can be made.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Ausführungsform, bei der die elektrische Zuleitung 8 alternativ zur Ausführungsform der Fig. 2 nicht bereits im Bereich des Übergangs zwischen dem Leuchtmittelträger 4 und dem Anschlussstück 5 nach außen geführt wird, sondern durch das Innere des Anschlussstücks 5 hindurch. Die elektrische Zuleitung 8 erstreckt sich im weiteren Verlauf im Inneren der Wasserleitung 2 und wird erst sehr viel später durch ein speziell ausgestaltetes Rohrstück 20 mit einer abgedichteten Durchführung 22 aus dem Bereich der Wasserleitung 2 herausgeführt. Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, dass die elektrische Zuleitung 8 nicht parallel zur Wasserleitung 2 durch den Quellstein 1 geführt werden muss. Die Bohrung im Quellstein 1 kann daher kleiner gewählt werden. Auch werden Scheuerstellen an der elektrischen Zuleitung bei der Installation vermieden. Schließen muss im Bereich des Grundkörpers 4, 5 keine zusätzliche Aussparung für die elektrische Zuleitung 8 vorgesehen werden. Die Vorarbeiten am Quellobjekt 1 werden dadurch verringert und die gesamte Installation kostengünstiger. Das Vorsehen des abgebildeten Rohrstücks 20, aus dem die elektrische Zuleitung 8 vorzugsweise mit Anschlussstecker durch eine abgedichtete Durchführung 22 herausgeführt werden kann, erleichtert die Installation abermals. Die durch die elektrische Zuleitung 8 in der Wasserleitung 2 verursachte Querschnittsverengung ist dagegen marginal und hat auf das Wasserbild keinen Einfluss. Fig. 4 shows an embodiment in which the electrical supply line 8 as an alternative to the embodiment of Fig. 2 is not already out in the region of the transition between the illuminant carrier 4 and the connector 5, but through the interior of the connector 5 through. The electrical supply line 8 extends in the further course in the interior of the water pipe 2 and is led out of the region of the water pipe 2 very much later by a specially designed piece of pipe 20 with a sealed passage 22. This embodiment has the advantage that the electrical supply line 8 does not have to be guided parallel to the water line 2 through the source stone 1. The hole in the source stone 1 can therefore be made smaller. Also, chafe marks on the electrical lead during installation are avoided. Close, no additional recess for the electrical supply line 8 must be provided in the region of the base body 4, 5. The preliminary work on the source object 1 is thereby reduced and the entire installation more cost-effective. The provision of the illustrated pipe section 20, from which the electrical supply line 8 can preferably be led out with a connection plug through a sealed passage 22, facilitates the installation again. The cross-sectional constriction caused by the electrical supply line 8 in the water pipe 2, however, is marginal and has no influence on the water image.

Schließlich ist aus den Unterschieden zwischen den Fig. 5 und 6 einerseits sowie 7 andererseits erkennbar, dass die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung unterschiedlich groß und mit einer unterschiedlichen Anzahl von LEDs den verschiedensten Einsatzzwecken und gewünschten Wasserstrahlhöhen und -dicken entsprechend gefertigt werden kann.Finally, from the differences between the Fig. 5 and 6 On the one hand and 7 on the other hand recognizable that the device according to the invention of different sizes and with a different number of LEDs for a variety of uses and desired water jet heights and thicknesses can be made accordingly.

Der erfindungsgemäße Wasserstrahlerzeuger lässt sich ohne großen Aufwand optisch ansprechend gestalten. So kann dem Abdeckelement 11 eine beliebige Form und Farbe verliehen werden, um dieses entweder zu betonen oder beispielsweise dem Quellobjekt 1 anzupassen, damit die Vorrichtung möglichst wenig auffällig ist. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Produkten ist daher für die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch nur eine einfache Durchbohrung der Quellsteine 1 nötig, da der Düsenkopf weder aus optischen Gründen, noch zum Schutz der Leuchtmittel versenkt werden muss. Über die Variierbarkeit der Durchflussmenge kann zudem die Strahlform und -höhe den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen angepasst werden, ohne das der Wasserstrahlerzeuger ausgewechselt werden muss.The water jet generator according to the invention can be made visually appealing without much effort. Thus, the cover 11 can be given any shape and color, either to emphasize this or, for example, the source object 1 adapt, so that the device is as little as possible conspicuous. In contrast to conventional products, therefore, only a simple perforation of the source stones 1 is necessary for the device according to the invention, since the nozzle head must be sunk neither for optical reasons, nor to protect the light source. The variability of the flow rate, the beam shape and height can also be adapted to the respective needs without the water jet generator must be replaced.
