Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved shower toilet.
- the abdominal shower technical components are needed, which are housed differently in the prior art. It is particularly known to accommodate such components in cavities of the actual toilet bowl body, which is usually made of ceramic. For this they are used from a back and can, in particular in the form of a shower arm, protrude through openings in the actual toilet bowl or transported.
- the abdominal shower technical components can also be constructed on the toilet bowl body, in an area between the toilet bowl opening and the rear of the toilet. From this variant, the invention proceeds, wherein it is not limited to built-up solutions in the sense only in a region above the upper edge of the bowl body luckyder shower fittings parts.
- the shower device location are summarized only in a case referred to here as a technical housing, which projects at least partially beyond this upper edge upwards. Conversely, it can also protrude downwards or be lowered in openings or depressions of the toilet bowl body.
- the present invention seeks to demobessem a shower toilet according to the above explanations regarding its functional properties.
- the invention is directed to a shower toilet with a toilet bowl body, which is designed for installation with back wall contact, a technical housing containing technical facilities for a abdominal shower of the shower toilet and the wall side of the bowl opening to the toilet bowl body is mounted, wherein the technical housing protrudes over a bowl opening surrounding the upper edge of the toilet bowl body upwards by one housing height, and with a toilet lid, which is fastened via joint fasteners on two opposite sides of the engineering housing and between the bowl opening covering position and one for Wall towards folded-open position is pivotable, characterized in that the hinge fastenings define a hinge axis, which is in relation to the projecting beyond the bowl body upper edge housing height within the lower 40% of this housing height.
- the articulation axis of an articulated attachment of the toilet lid to the mentioned technology housing is arranged relatively deep. Concretely, it lies within the lower 40% of the vertical extent of the engineering housing, namely from the upper edge of the bowl body in the vicinity of the key opening calculated, ie under deduction of any downward in the bowl body or recesses therein protruding parts.
- the hinge axis is even within the lower 35% or even 30% of this vertical extension. This relatively low position of the hinge axis ensures that the unfolded lid protrudes relatively little. So he reaches at a given depth of the lid, so the distance between its leading edge in the closed state and the hinge axis, a relatively small vertical height in the unfolded state.
- the toilet lid can remain ajar against the wall and the user can undisturbed actuate the flushing process and / or use the toilet brush, without being hindered.
- the shower toilet according to the invention also has a hinged toilet glasses.
- this is also attached to the Technlkgenosuse on both sides, which in turn preferably match the hinge axes of the hinge fasteners of the toilet seat and the toilet lid.
- the joints can be designed structurally uniform. A relatively low position of the hinge axis of the toilet seat has comparable advantages as the toilet lid.
- relatively high technology housings can be used in which a correspondingly large volume exists. It is particularly preferred that all functions beyond a very ordinary (shower-free) WC, in particular the shower function and any other functions such as hot air blower, Odor removal and the like, are completely housed in the engineering housing.
- This technique housing forms, as mentioned, at least to a considerable extent an essay on the bowl body. It may protrude significantly beyond its upper edge, preferably by at least 80 mm, in particular by more than 90 mm or even more than 100 mm. In particular, if in addition still a part of the engineering housing protrudes below the upper edge of the bowl body, a good overall height is available.
- Preference is furthermore a relatively close to the wall position of the hinge axis of the toilet lid, and as just shown also the toilet seat, so a relatively spaced from the bowl opening position.
- this hinge axis with respect to a reference distance between the upper inner edge of the bowl opening and the wall to which the WC is mounted and the corresponding rear side of the WC within the wall-side 60% of this reference distance.
- the hinge axis of the WC lid (and preferably the toilet seat) in this embodiment is between 40% and 100% particularly preferred positions are within the rear 55% or even 50%.
- the unfolded toilet lid is further back, so near the wall, and obstructs the toilet user when it sits on the toilet seat, less. Accordingly, the seating position is more comfortable and / or the toilet bowl body can be made more compact overall, concretely with less depth. This definitely plays a role for smaller rooms or WC cabins.
- Known shower toilets are due to the additional technical facilities, inter alia, in the depth significantly more expansive than toilets without shower function.
- the vertical position of the hinge axis is also important in this context. At relatively low axis position can be ensured in spite of the fact that the toilet lid is opened upright, that the toilet lid does not protrude into the area of the flushing operation elements. As I said, this concerns primarily the controls themselves, ie the classic operation buttons or analogue devices, but preferably also the environment of these controls such as a cover plate containing the operation buttons.
- the combination of the relatively near-wall and at the same time deep axial position thus allows a high level of user comfort with a relatively compact design.
- a uniform position of the joint axes of the toilet seat and the toilet lid is preferred.
- the toilet lid is designed accordingly and in particular has sufficiently deep (or high) side edges. In transverse perspective, the toilet seat can "disappear" in the closed and in the open state within the toilet lid.
- the obliquely rising front of the engineering housing is, apart from parts below the upper edge of the bowl body and below the top of the toilet seat glasses, smooth, ie without grooves or recesses, and runs in this form to the apex of the housing.
- a rise angle of 65 ° is exceeded, preferably not one Angle of 60 °. This ensures good ergonomics and at the same time keeps the technology housing easy to clean.
- the technology housing preferably does not protrude substantially into the bowl opening.
- Decisive here is the lower edge of the bowl opening circulating flushing rim of the bowl body.
- the engineering housing preferably projects no more than 10% of the depth of the bowl body from the bowl opening to the rear wall, preferably by less than 5%, and more preferably not even beyond that lower inner edge.
- the bowl opening is not restricted and only a slight projection of the toilet seat is allowed inside. The bowl opening can thus be exploited in its full size and their edge areas remain easily accessible for cleaning purposes.
- the toilet lid in the closed state and the technology housing largely cover forward and upward and preferably also to the side.
- this applies from the front edge of the technology housing, starting at least up to 60% of the horizontal extent of the technology housing transverse to the axial direction, ie the depth of the technology housing. Even more preferred are lower limits of 65% or even 70%.
- Another possible measure of the coverage of the technology housing through the toilet lid is that the toilet lid extends at least to the apex of the technology housing, ie to its highest point or highest line.
- the toilet lid follows the oblique rise of the engineering housing front and apply the above statements to the oblique increase for the toilet lid. For Veransrhaulichung reference is made to the embodiment.
- the toilet seat glasses in the opened state of the toilet lid but lowered state of the toilet glasses also covers the technology housing, namely forward and upward.
- the embodiment shows that this advantageously does not have to apply to the pages.
- a control panel can be released from the toilet seat after opening the toilet lid.
- the technology housing is fully protected in the use state of the toilet, so that closed and easy to clean surfaces give and, of course, an aesthetic calm and harmonious overall impression.
- the toilet lid should preferably cover the entire width of the upper edge, ie the upwardly facing surface of the toilet bowl body when it is closed. He can survive on the edge. However, a flush transition is preferred.
- the toilet lid preferably has a projection as a handle.
- both a side area and the front area come into consideration for this.
- the front area is selected and there is no protrusion in the side area.
- What is meant here is an overhanging area, so to speak, a part of the side edge surrounding the top of the lid, which is tilted beyond the vertical, that is to say already somewhat downwards. This overhanging area should be vertically spaced from the lower limit of the WC lid side edge.
- this embodiment is particularly relevant if the toilet lid has no motor drive or at least has to be raised slightly to start the drive.
- the design is thus particularly suitable for technically not very expensive and cost-effective shower toilets, whereas expensive models often have an electric toilet lid drive.
- FIG. 1 the shower toilet is shown with a toilet bowl body 1, a toilet lid 2 and a WG glasses 3 in three different positions. Left hides the closed lid 2, the toilet seat 3 and a bowl opening of Schüsselkör pers 1; in the middle, the lid 2 is folded up and the shower toilet in the use position; on the right is also the glasses 3 folded up to a cleaning of an upper edge of the toilet bowl and a sloping front surface of a right in FIG. 1 allow recognizable technical body 4.
- FIG. 2 shows parts 1 to 4 separately as an exploded view. It can be seen here particularly clearly that the toilet cover 2 and the toilet seat 3 cover the technical body 4 at its oblique front surface to beyond its apex. They reach about 77% with respect to the depth extension of the engineering body 4. This is supplemented by FIG. 6 directed.
- the reduction 5 has a depth of 24 mm and protrudes the technology housing incidentally by about 110 mm above the top of the bowl body 1, including the closed toilet lid by 114 mm.
- the engineering body 4 is inserted with a lower portion in a depression 5 on the upper edge of the key body 1, in order to reduce the height of the engineering body 4, which is referred to as the housing height, slightly above the actual dimensions.
- This reduction 5 is located on the upper edge between the bowl opening and an in FIG. 2 Rear right rear and not visible rear wall of the key body 1, with this is fitting to a wall and in the present case to hang wall-mounted.
- the toilet lid 2 covers the sides of the engineering body 4 beyond its apex, as long as it is closed, see. the representation in FIG. 1 among themselves. This does not apply to the toilet seat 3 rather this leaves the side surfaces of the engineering body 4 largely free and has for this purpose on its back two articulated arms 6, in the lower areas of the toilet seat 3 hinged to something receding parts of the side surfaces of the engineering body 4 is attached.
- the hinge axis of this attachment coincides with the hinge axis of an articulated attachment of the toilet cover 2 at the same place. In this context is also on FIG. 3 and their explanation referenced.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view similar FIG. 1 Center.
- the left side surface of the engineering body 4 can be used for a control panel 7.
- FIG. 1 Middle and FIG. 2 clarify, even in the use position when folded down toilet seat glasses 3 accessible, but not visible when folded down toilet lid 2. It is thus aesthetically not disturbing in the closed state and otherwise protected against contamination and yet easily accessible in the use position.
- FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 illustrate with a side view and a front view based on the FIGS. 1 to 3 already explained geometry on.
- FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal section through the shower toilet.
- the back for wall mounting is on the left.
- the toilet bowl 8 below the already mentioned bowl opening, the following Siphonknick 9 in the drain line and a Spülwasserzutechnisch 10 below the technology housing 4.
- the Technology housing at its lower right end, so its front edge, an access below the toilet seat 3 has, as a corresponding recess in the FIGS. 1 to 3 is recognizable.
- a shower arm (not shown) can be driven into the toilet bowl 8 and operated with technology housed in the technical housing 4, such as an electric water pump, a hot water boiler, a motor drive for the shower arm, etc.
- the recess shown for the shower arm can be closed in practice, for example, by a pivotable about a hinge hinged lid, so that the retracted shower arm is protected. This is not shown here.
- the hinged lid could for example be attached to the technology housing 4.
- This hinge axis 11 is in the illustrated horizontal dimension in this example, 92 mm from the wall, while the opening in the toilet seat 3 216 mm from the wall is removed.
- the axis in this horizontal dimension with respect to the 216 mm at about 42% to 43% and based on the upper edge of the toilet bowl body 1 at the edge of the bowl opening at about 45%.
- the previously mentioned limits should also be disclosed in relation to the toilet seat edge.
- the hinge axis 11 is 23.75 mm above the upper edge of the toilet bowl body 1, which rotates around the bowl opening (see. FIG. 2 ).
- FIG. 6 make sure that there in FIG. 2 shown depression 5 with 24 mm depth is to be considered.
- the joint axis is thus approximately at almost 22% of the height; if you count the toilet lid 2 you get to just under 21%.
- the already disclosed limits are additionally disclosed in relation to the protruding housing height of the technology housing 4 including the closed lid 2.
- hinge axis 11 is so comparatively deep and wall side (in FIG. 6 relatively deep and left).
- FIGS. 7 to 9 correspond to the FIGS. 4 to 6 but show the toilet cover 2 in the open state and the toilet seat 3 in the raised state.
- the toilet seat 3 disappears not only in the closed state of the toilet lid 2 but also in the open state both completely in the toilet lid. 2
- FIGS. 7 to 9 show in particular that the toilet lid 2 and the toilet seat 3 are positioned very upright and close to the wall in the open state and are lowered behind the technical body 4, so that the total height reached with 500 mm above the top of the bowl body 1 in relation to Total depth of the toilet of 576 mm remains very low.
- an actuator plate 12 are arranged with Spülbetuschiststen over the unfolded toilet cover 2.
- the center of the actuator plate 12 is located at 1000 mm above the floor, its lower edge at 918 mm and the top of the toilet lid 2 at 900 mm (with a shell height of the bowl top of 400 mm above the finished floor).
- the toilet cover 2 next to a slightly sloping to the horizontal forward sloping top has a to the sides and forward (front circular) circumferential side edge.
- This lateral edge is slightly higher at the back and naturally narrows towards the front.
- the figures show that it overhangs beyond the vertical in the front area.
- the upper limit of this lateral edge protrudes further forward in the front region than its lower limit.
- the edge between them is straight, but it could also be concave or convex or convex-concave rounded.
- the overhang could also be formed by a rib, for instance at the upper edge of the lateral edge, whereby the edge could otherwise run vertically, by the way.
- the cover is hygienically relatively safe and ergonomically favorable to grab and lift in versions without motor drive (or actuated by a slight lifting motor drives). For vertical or even rounded back or flat edges resulting in poorer or no grip options, if you do not run your fingers under the toilet lid 2. For obvious reasons, this is the more hygienic zone.
- the toilet lid 2 extends in the handle area at least flush with the toilet bowl body 1 or is beyond him.
- the flush shown in this example which also continues in a continuous oblique angle of the front conical boundary surface of the bowl body 1 and the toilet cover 2, has aesthetic significance.
- the handle function would also be realized with a slight spring back of the toilet lid with respect to the bowl body 1 or even with a protruding over the same.
- the figures also show that the engineering body 4 in the use position of the WC in FIG. 1 right and in FIG. 3 is very largely covered. This makes the surfaces visible to the user easy to clean and has fewer edges and grooves.
- the control panel 7 ( FIG. 3 ) free, which could alternatively or additionally be provided on the opposite side.
- the cover of the WO spectacles 3 follows the first concave and then convex sloping surface of the art body 4. However, they could also run at a greater distance and with a different shape without sacrificing the covering function.
- the front surface of the engineering body 4 in the present case has an approximate height and depth ratio of 1, cf. FIG. 6 , Due to the extensive degree of correspondence to the overlying area of the toilet seat 3, this translates into a likewise "soft" and gradually rising back surface of the toilet seat 3 in this area. This provides good ergonomics for the user and he is not restricted to sitting on the toilet by strongly rising surfaces.
- the technology housing 4, in particular in conjunction with the reduction 5, remains sufficient Construction volume available. However, the increase could also occur in a straight line or other than the concave-convex sequence present here.
- the toilet cover 2 fulfills its covering function, in this case also for aesthetic reasons, deviating, namely by a straight from top to bottom sloping flat top.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein verbessertes Dusch-WC.The present invention relates to an improved shower toilet.
Dusch-WCs sind grundsätzlich schon seit Jahrzehnten bekannt und vor allem in Japan und auch Korea gebräuchlich. Der Stand der Technik umfasst unterschiedlichste Konstruktionen und technische Zusatzfunktionen. Definierend und allen Dusch-WCs gemeinsam ist allerdings eine Einrichtung zur Unterleibsdusche des Benutzers nach der WC-Benutzung.Shower toilets have been known for decades and are mainly used in Japan and Korea. The state of the art comprises a wide variety of designs and additional technical functions. Defining and all shower toilets in common, however, is a device for abdominal shower of the user after using the toilet.
Für die Unterleibsdusche sind verschiedene technische Bauteile nötig, die im Stand der Technik unterschiedlich untergebracht werden. Es ist insbesondere bekannt, solche Bauteile in Hohlräumen des eigentlichen WC-Schüsselkörpers unterzubringen, der gewöhnlich aus Keramik besteht. Dazu werden sie von einer Rückseite aus eingesetzt und können, insbesondere in Form eines Duscharms, durch Durchbrüche in die eigentliche WC-Schüssel hineinragen oder transportiert werden. Andererseits können die technischen Bauteile für die Unterleibsdusche auch auf dem WC-Schüsselkörper aufgebaut werden, und zwar in einem Bereich zwischen der WC-Schüsselöffnung und der Hinterseite des WCs. Von dieser Variante geht die Erfindung aus, wobei sie nicht auf aufgebaute Lösungen im Sinne sich ausschließlich in einem Bereich oberhalb der Oberkante des Schüsselkörpers befindender Duscheinrichtungsteile beschränkt ist. Die Duscheinrichtungstelle sind lediglich in einem hier als Technikgehäuse bezeichneten Gehäuse zusammengefasst, das zumindest teilweise über diese Oberkante hinaus nach oben ragt. Es kann umgekehrt aber auch in Öffnungen oder Absenkungen des WC-Schüsselkörpers nach unten hineinragen bzw. abgesenkt sein.For abdominal shower various technical components are needed, which are housed differently in the prior art. It is particularly known to accommodate such components in cavities of the actual toilet bowl body, which is usually made of ceramic. For this they are used from a back and can, in particular in the form of a shower arm, protrude through openings in the actual toilet bowl or transported. On the other hand, the abdominal shower technical components can also be constructed on the toilet bowl body, in an area between the toilet bowl opening and the rear of the toilet. From this variant, the invention proceeds, wherein it is not limited to built-up solutions in the sense only in a region above the upper edge of the bowl body befindender shower fittings parts. The shower device location are summarized only in a case referred to here as a technical housing, which projects at least partially beyond this upper edge upwards. Conversely, it can also protrude downwards or be lowered in openings or depressions of the toilet bowl body.
Die Ausführung der Duscheinrichtung im Detail hinsichtlich ihrer Leistungsmerkmale wie Beweglichkeit eines Duscharms, Warmwasserbereitung, Pumpenlösung etc. sind im Rahmen dieser Erfindung nicht von Interesse. Es wird lediglich pauschal davon ausgegangen, dass gewisse Einrichtungen für eine Unterleibsdusche notwendig sind, die bei gewöhnlichen WCs ohne eine Duschfunktion nicht anfallen, und dass diese Bauteile zumindest teilweise in dem erwähnten Technikgehäuse zusammengefasst sind.The execution of the shower device in detail in terms of their performance features such as mobility of a shower arm, hot water, pump solution, etc. are not of interest in the context of this invention. It is only flat rate assumed that certain facilities for an abdominal shower are necessary, which are not incurred in ordinary toilets without a shower function, and that these components are at least partially summarized in the aforementioned technology housing.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Dusch-WC gemäß den vorstehenden Erläuterungen hinsichtlich seiner Funktionseigenschaften zu vierbessem.Based on this, the present invention seeks to vierbessem a shower toilet according to the above explanations regarding its functional properties.
Hierzu richtet sich die Erfindung auf ein Dusch-WC mit einem WC-Schüsselkörper, der für eine Montage mit rückseitigem Wandkontakt ausgelegt ist, einem Technikgehäuse, das technische Einrichtungen für eine Unterleibsdusche des Dusch-WC enthält und wandseitig von der Schüsselöffnung an dem WC-Schüsselkörper angebracht ist, wobei das Technikgehäuse über eine die Schüsselöffnung umlaufende Oberkante des WC-Schüsselkörpers nach oben um eine Gehäusehöhe hinausragt, und mit einem WC-Deckel, der über Gelenkbefestigungen an zwei entgegengesetzten Seiten des Technikgehäuses befestigt und zwischen einer die Schüsselöffnung abdeckenden Position und einer zur Wand hin aufgeklappten Position verschwenkbar ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Gelenkbefestigungen eine Gelenkachse festlegen, die in Bezug auf die über die Schüsselkörperoberkante hinausragende Gehäusehöhe innerhalb der unteren 40 % dieser Gehäusehöhe liegt.For this purpose, the invention is directed to a shower toilet with a toilet bowl body, which is designed for installation with back wall contact, a technical housing containing technical facilities for a abdominal shower of the shower toilet and the wall side of the bowl opening to the toilet bowl body is mounted, wherein the technical housing protrudes over a bowl opening surrounding the upper edge of the toilet bowl body upwards by one housing height, and with a toilet lid, which is fastened via joint fasteners on two opposite sides of the engineering housing and between the bowl opening covering position and one for Wall towards folded-open position is pivotable, characterized in that the hinge fastenings define a hinge axis, which is in relation to the projecting beyond the bowl body upper edge housing height within the lower 40% of this housing height.
Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben und werden im Folgenden neben der Grundidee der Erfindung näher erläutert. Die Erfindung bezieht sich dabei grundsätzlich auf das Dusch-WC und auch auf seine Verwendung zu einer Montage nach Anspruch 14.Preferred embodiments are specified in the dependent claims and are explained in detail below in addition to the basic idea of the invention. The invention relates in principle to the shower toilet and also to its use in an assembly according to claim 14.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Gelenkachse einer gelenkigen Befestigung des WC-Deckels an dem erwähnten Technikgehäuse relativ tief angeordnet. Sie liegt konkret innerhalb der unteren 40 % der vertikalen Erstreckung des Technikgehäuses, und zwar von der Oberkante des Schüsselkörpers in der Umgebung der Schlüsselöffnung aus gerechnet, also unter Abzug eventueller nach unten in den Schüsselkörper oder Ausnehmungen darin hineinragender Teile. Vorzugsweise liegt die Gelenkachse sogar innerhalb der unteren 35 % oder sogar 30 % dieser vertikalen Erstreckung. Diese relativ tiefe Lage der Gelenkachse sorgt dafür, dass der aufgeklappte Deckel relativ wenig hochragt. Er erreicht also bei vorgegebener Tiefe des Deckels, also dem Abstand zwischen seiner Vorderkante im geschlossenen Zustand und der Gelenkachse, eine relativ geringe vertikale Höhe im aufgeklappten Zustand. Das erleichtert insbesondere eine Unterbringung unterhalb einer Betätigungsvorrichtung für den Spülkasten des Dusch-WCs, die in konventioneller Weise an einer Wand über dem Dusch-WC angebracht sein kann, an die das Dusch-WC mit seiner Rückseite anliegt oder an der es sogar hängend montiert ist. Im Stand der Technik lässt sich nämlich bei vergleichbaren Dusch-WCs mit auf einem WC-Schüsselkörper aufbauendem Technikgehäuse durchweg feststellen, dass der aufgeklappte WC-Deckel an eine Betätigungsplatte anstößt und diese teilweise verdeckt, insbesondere Betätigungstasten darin verdeckt. Das würde bei bündig eingebauten Betätigungstasten gleichermaßen gelten.According to the invention, the articulation axis of an articulated attachment of the toilet lid to the mentioned technology housing is arranged relatively deep. Concretely, it lies within the lower 40% of the vertical extent of the engineering housing, namely from the upper edge of the bowl body in the vicinity of the key opening calculated, ie under deduction of any downward in the bowl body or recesses therein protruding parts. Preferably, the hinge axis is even within the lower 35% or even 30% of this vertical extension. This relatively low position of the hinge axis ensures that the unfolded lid protrudes relatively little. So he reaches at a given depth of the lid, so the distance between its leading edge in the closed state and the hinge axis, a relatively small vertical height in the unfolded state. This facilitates in particular a housing below an actuator for the cistern of the shower toilet, which may be mounted in a conventional manner on a wall above the shower toilet to which the shower toilet rests with its back or on which it is even suspended , Namely, in the prior art, it can consistently be ascertained in comparable shower toilets with a technology housing based on a WC bowl body that the unfolded toilet lid abuts against an actuating plate and partially conceals it, in particular conceals actuating keys therein. This would apply equally to flush-mounted operation buttons.
Ergonomisch ist aber ein Anliegen des WC-Deckels an die Betätigungstaste oder eine diese enthaltende Betätigungsplatte sehr ungünstig. Der Benutzer hat dann keinen ungestörten Zugriff auf die Spülfunktion sondern muss hierzu den WC-Deckel entweder schließen oder zumindest etwas nach vorne kippen. Andererseits möchte er in vielen Fällen die Wirksamkeit des Spülvorgangs kontrollieren, den WC-Deckel also noch nicht zuklappen. Das gilt verstärkt beim Einsatz einer WC-Bürste, für die er eine weitere Hand benötigt und bei oder nach deren Einsatz erneut gespült bzw. die Sauberkeit der WC-Schüssel geprüft werden soll. Erfindungsgemäß kann der WC-Deckel an der Wand angelehnt bleiben und kann der Benutzer ungestört den Spülvorgang betätigen und/oder die WC-Bürste benutzen, ohne dabei behindert zu sein.Ergonomically, however, is a concern of the toilet lid to the operation button or an actuating plate containing them very unfavorable. The user then has no undisturbed access to the rinse function but this must either close the toilet lid or at least tilt slightly forward. On the other hand, he would like to control the effectiveness of the rinsing process in many cases, so the toilet lid does not yet close. This is increasingly the case when using a toilet brush, for which he needs another hand and rinsed during or after their use again or to check the cleanliness of the toilet bowl. According to the invention, the toilet lid can remain ajar against the wall and the user can undisturbed actuate the flushing process and / or use the toilet brush, without being hindered.
Gewöhnlich und vorzugsweise verfügt das erfindungsgemäße Dusch-WC auch über eine aufklappbare WC-Brille. Vorzugsweise ist diese ebenfalls an dem Technlkgehäuse beidseits befestigt, wobei wiederum bevorzugterweise die Gelenkachsen der Gelenkbefestigungen der WC-Brille und des WC-Deckels übereinstimmen. Dabei können die Gelenke baulich einheitlich ausgeführt sein. Eine relativ tiefe Lage der Gelenkachse der WC-Brille hat vergleichbare Vorteile wie beim WC-Deckel.Usually and preferably, the shower toilet according to the invention also has a hinged toilet glasses. Preferably, this is also attached to the Technlkgehäuse on both sides, which in turn preferably match the hinge axes of the hinge fasteners of the toilet seat and the toilet lid. The joints can be designed structurally uniform. A relatively low position of the hinge axis of the toilet seat has comparable advantages as the toilet lid.
Insbesondere können erfindungsgemäß relativ hohe Technikgehäuse Verwendung finden, in denen entsprechend viel Volumen besteht. Es ist insbesondere bevorzugt, dass alle über ein ganz gewöhnliches (duschfreies) WC hinausgehenden Funktionen, insbesondere die Duschfunktion und eventuelle weitere Funktionen wie Warmluftgebläse, Geruchsabsaugung und Ähnliches, vollständig in dem Technikgehäuse untergebracht sind. Dieses Technikgehäuse bildet dabei, wie erwähnt, zumindest zu einem erheblichen Teil einen Aufsatz auf dem Schüsselkörper. Es kann dabei erheblich über dessen Oberkante hinausragen, vorzugsweise um mindestens 80 mm, insbesondere auch um mehr als 90 mm oder sogar um mehr als 100 mm. Insbesondere wenn zusätzlich noch ein Teil des Technikgehäuses unter die Oberkante des Schüsselkörpers ragt, steht insgesamt eine gut ausreichende Bauhöhe zur Verfügung.In particular, according to the invention, relatively high technology housings can be used in which a correspondingly large volume exists. It is particularly preferred that all functions beyond a very ordinary (shower-free) WC, in particular the shower function and any other functions such as hot air blower, Odor removal and the like, are completely housed in the engineering housing. This technique housing forms, as mentioned, at least to a considerable extent an essay on the bowl body. It may protrude significantly beyond its upper edge, preferably by at least 80 mm, in particular by more than 90 mm or even more than 100 mm. In particular, if in addition still a part of the engineering housing protrudes below the upper edge of the bowl body, a good overall height is available.
Bevorzugt ist femer eine relativ wandnahe Position der Gelenkachse des WC-Deckels, und wie eben dargestellt auch der WC-Brille, also eine relativ stark von der Schüsselöffnung beabstandete Lage. Konkret wird hier in Betracht gezogen, diese Gelenkachse in Bezug auf einen Referenzabstand zwischen der oberen Innenkante der Schüsselöffnung und der Wand, an der das WC montiert wird, bzw. der entsprechenden Hinterseite des WCs innerhalb der wandseitigen 60 % dieses Referenzabstandes anzuordnen. Wenn also die Spülkante in diesem horizontalen Referenzmaß bei 0 % und die Wand hinter dem WC bei 100 % liegt, so liegt die Gelenkachse des WC-Deckels (und vorzugsweise der WC-Brille) bei dieser Ausgestaltung zwischen einschließlich 40 % und 100 % Besonders bevorzugt sind Positionen innerhalb der hinteren 55 % oder sogar 50 %.Preference is furthermore a relatively close to the wall position of the hinge axis of the toilet lid, and as just shown also the toilet seat, so a relatively spaced from the bowl opening position. Concretely, it is considered here to arrange this hinge axis with respect to a reference distance between the upper inner edge of the bowl opening and the wall to which the WC is mounted and the corresponding rear side of the WC within the wall-
Dementsprechend steht der aufgeklappte WC-Deckel weiter hinten, also wandnäher, und behindert den WC-Benutzer, wenn dieser auf der WC-Brille sitzt, weniger. Dementsprechend ist die Sitzposition komfortabler und/oder kann der WC-Schüsselkörper insgesamt kompakter, konkret mit geringerer Tiefe, ausgeführt werden. Das spielt für kleinere Räume oder WC-Kabinen durchaus eine Rolle. Bekannte Dusch-WC's sind wegen der zusätzlichen technischen Einrichtungen unter anderem in der Tiefe deutlich ausladender als WCs ohne Duschfunktion.Accordingly, the unfolded toilet lid is further back, so near the wall, and obstructs the toilet user when it sits on the toilet seat, less. Accordingly, the seating position is more comfortable and / or the toilet bowl body can be made more compact overall, concretely with less depth. This definitely plays a role for smaller rooms or WC cabins. Known shower toilets are due to the additional technical facilities, inter alia, in the depth significantly more expansive than toilets without shower function.
Die vertikale Lage der Gelenkachse ist in diesem Zusammenhang ebenfalls von Bedeutung. Bei relativ tiefer Achsposition kann nämlich trotz aufrechter aufgeklappter WC-Deckelstellung sichergestellt werden, dass der WC-Deckel nicht in den Bereich der Spülvorgangsbedienungselemente hinein ragt. Das betrifft wie gesagt primär die Bedienelemente selbst, also die klassischen Betätigungstasten oder analoge Einrichtungen, vorzugsweise aber auch das Umfeld dieser Bedienelemente etwa eine Abdeckplatte, die die Betätigungstasten enthält. Die Kombination der relativ wandnahen und gleichzeitig tiefen Achsposition ermöglicht also einen hohen Benutzerkomfort bei relativ kompakter Bauweise.The vertical position of the hinge axis is also important in this context. At relatively low axis position can be ensured in spite of the fact that the toilet lid is opened upright, that the toilet lid does not protrude into the area of the flushing operation elements. As I said, this concerns primarily the controls themselves, ie the classic operation buttons or analogue devices, but preferably also the environment of these controls such as a cover plate containing the operation buttons. The combination of the relatively near-wall and at the same time deep axial position thus allows a high level of user comfort with a relatively compact design.
Auch in diesem Zusammenhang ist eine einheitliche Lage der Gelenkachsen der WC-Brille und des WC-Deckels bevorzugt. Neben der Vereinfachung durch einheitliche Gelenkausführung kann damit auch eine ästhetisch gewünschte Aufnahme der aufgeklappten WC-Brille in einer diese umfassenden konkaven Hohlform des WC-Deckels gewährleistet werden. Dazu ist der WC-Deckel entsprechend ausgestaltet und weist insbesondere ausreichend tiefe (bzw. hohe) Seitenkanten auf. In Querperspektive kann die WC-Brille damit in geschlossenem und in geöffnetem Zustand innerhalb des WC-Deckels "verschwinden".Also in this context, a uniform position of the joint axes of the toilet seat and the toilet lid is preferred. In addition to the simplification of a uniform joint design can thus be an aesthetically desirable recording of the unfolded toilet seat glasses in a comprehensive this concave mold of the toilet lid guaranteed. For this purpose, the toilet lid is designed accordingly and in particular has sufficiently deep (or high) side edges. In transverse perspective, the toilet seat can "disappear" in the closed and in the open state within the toilet lid.
Das bereits mehrfach erwähnte Technikgehäuse zwischen der Schüsselöffnung und der Wand kann eine von der Schüsselöffnung zur Wand hin schräg ansteigende Vorderseite aufweisen. Mit dem Begriff "schräg" ist dabei nicht zwingend eine mit einem bestimmten Winkel gleichmäßig ansteigende gerade schräge Fläche gemeint. Wie das Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt können auch konkave, konvexe oder konkavkonvexe Formen verwendet werden. Wichtig ist vielmehr, dass der für die sogenannte Gehäusehöhe erforderliche Anstieg über eine bestimmte Tiefe "gestreckt" ist, also insbesondere nicht abrupt erfolgt. Dies hat neben ästhetischen Gründen vor allem Bedeutung für den Benutzerkomfort in der sitzenden Position, wie das Ausführungsbeispiel ebenfalls veranschaulicht. Bevorzugt sind hier Zahlenverhältnisse zwischen der Gehäusehöhe und der Tiefe, d. h. dem horizontalen Abstand zwischen Spülkante und Scheitel des Technikgehäuses, zwischen 0,7 und 1,4. Untergrenzen von 0,8, 0,85 oder sogar 0,9 sind zunehmend bevorzugt. Das gleiche gilt für Obergrenzen von 1,3, 1,2 oder sogar 1,1.The already mentioned several times technology housing between the bowl opening and the wall may have a sloping from the bowl opening to the wall front. The term "oblique" does not necessarily mean a straight sloping surface rising evenly with a certain angle. As the embodiment shows, concave, convex or concave-convex shapes can also be used. Rather, it is important that the required for the so-called housing height increase over a certain depth is "stretched", so in particular not abrupt. This, in addition to aesthetic reasons, especially important for the user comfort in the sitting position, as the embodiment also illustrates. Preference is given here numerical relationships between the housing height and the depth, d. H. the horizontal distance between the flushing edge and the top of the technology housing, between 0.7 and 1.4. Lower limits of 0.8, 0.85 or even 0.9 are increasingly preferred. The same applies to upper limits of 1.3, 1.2 or even 1.1.
Die schräg ansteigende Vorderseite des Technikgehäuses ist dabei, von Teilen unterhalb der Oberkante des Schüsselkörpers und unterhalb der Oberkante der WC-Brille abgesehen, glatt ausgestaltet, d. h. ohne Rillen oder Ausnehmungen, und läuft in dieser Form bis zum Scheitel des Gehäuses durch. Vorzugsweise wird hierbei an keiner Stelle ein Anstiegswinkel von 65° überschritten, vorzugweise auch nicht ein Winkel von 60°. Damit wird eine gute Ergonomie erreicht und bleibt das Technikgehäuse gleichzeitig reinigungsfreundlich.The obliquely rising front of the engineering housing is, apart from parts below the upper edge of the bowl body and below the top of the toilet seat glasses, smooth, ie without grooves or recesses, and runs in this form to the apex of the housing. Preferably, in this case at no point a rise angle of 65 ° is exceeded, preferably not one Angle of 60 °. This ensures good ergonomics and at the same time keeps the technology housing easy to clean.
Weiterhin ragt das Technikgehäuse vorzugsweise nicht wesentlich in die Schüsselöffnung hinein. Maßgeblich ist hierbei die untere Kante des die Schüsselöffnung umlaufenden Spülrandes des Schüsselkörpers. Das Technikgehäuse ragt vorzugsweise um höchstens 10 % der Tiefe des Schüsselkörpers von der Schüsselöffnung bis zur hinteren Wand, vorzugsweise um weniger als 5 % und besonders bevorzugter Weise gar nicht über diese untere Innenkante hinaus. Damit wird die Schüsselöffnung nicht eingeschränkt und wird ein nur geringer Überstand der WC-Brille nach innen ermöglicht. Die Schüsselöffnung kann damit in ihrer ganzen Größe ausgenutzt werden und ihre Randbereiche bleiben zu Reinigungszwecken gut zugänglich.Furthermore, the technology housing preferably does not protrude substantially into the bowl opening. Decisive here is the lower edge of the bowl opening circulating flushing rim of the bowl body. The engineering housing preferably projects no more than 10% of the depth of the bowl body from the bowl opening to the rear wall, preferably by less than 5%, and more preferably not even beyond that lower inner edge. Thus, the bowl opening is not restricted and only a slight projection of the toilet seat is allowed inside. The bowl opening can thus be exploited in its full size and their edge areas remain easily accessible for cleaning purposes.
Ferner kann der WC-Deckel im geschlossenen Zustand auch das Technikgehäuse weitgehend nach vorne und nach oben und vorzugsweise auch zur Seite abdecken. Vorzugsweise gilt dies von der Vorderkante des Technikgehäuses ausgehend mindestens bis zu 60 % der horizontalen Erstreckung des Technikgehäuses quer zur Achsrichtung, also der Tiefe des Technikgehäuses. Noch bevorzugter sind Untergrenzen von 65 % oder sogar 70%. Ein weiteres mögliches Maß für die Abdeckung des Technikgehäuses durch den WC-Deckel besteht darin, dass der WC-Deckel mindestens bis zum Scheitel des Technikgehäuses, also bis zu dessen höchstem Punkt oder höchster Linie, reicht. Vorzugsweise folgt der WC-Deckel dabei dem schrägen Anstieg der Technikgehäuse-Vorderseite und gelten hierfür die obigen Aussagen zu dem schrägen Anstieg auch für den WC-Deckel. Zur Veransrhaulichung wird auf das Ausführungsbeispiel verwiesen.Furthermore, the toilet lid in the closed state and the technology housing largely cover forward and upward and preferably also to the side. Preferably, this applies from the front edge of the technology housing, starting at least up to 60% of the horizontal extent of the technology housing transverse to the axial direction, ie the depth of the technology housing. Even more preferred are lower limits of 65% or even 70%. Another possible measure of the coverage of the technology housing through the toilet lid is that the toilet lid extends at least to the apex of the technology housing, ie to its highest point or highest line. Preferably, the toilet lid follows the oblique rise of the engineering housing front and apply the above statements to the oblique increase for the toilet lid. For Veransrhaulichung reference is made to the embodiment.
Im Rahmen dieser Erfindung gilt zudem, dass die WC-Brille im geöffneten Zustand des WC-Deckels aber abgesenktem Zustand der WC-Brille ebenfalls das Technikgehäuse abdeckt, und zwar nach vorne und nach oben. Das Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt, dass dies vorteilhafterweise nicht auch für die Seiten gelten muss. Insbesondere kann hier von der WC-Brille nach Aufklappen des WC- Deckels ein Bedienfeld freigelassen werden. Dennoch ist das Technikgehäuse im Benutzungszustand des WCs vollständig geschützt, so dass sich geschlossene und reinigungsfreundliche Oberflächen ergeben und zudem natürlich ein ästhetischer ruhiger und harmonischer Gesamteindruck.In the context of this invention also applies that the toilet seat glasses in the opened state of the toilet lid but lowered state of the toilet glasses also covers the technology housing, namely forward and upward. The embodiment shows that this advantageously does not have to apply to the pages. In particular, a control panel can be released from the toilet seat after opening the toilet lid. Nevertheless, the technology housing is fully protected in the use state of the toilet, so that closed and easy to clean surfaces give and, of course, an aesthetic calm and harmonious overall impression.
Ferner soll der WC-Deckel vorzugsweise die gesamte Breite der Oberkante, also der nach oben weisenden Fläche des WC-Schüsselkörpers abdecken, wenn er ge-schlossen ist. Er kann am Rand überstehen. Bevorzugt ist allerdings ein bündiger Übergang.Furthermore, the toilet lid should preferably cover the entire width of the upper edge, ie the upwardly facing surface of the toilet bowl body when it is closed. He can survive on the edge. However, a flush transition is preferred.
Ferner weist der WC-Deckel vorzugsweise einen Überstand als Griff auf. Hierfür kommt im Prinzip sowohl ein Seitenbereich als auch der Frontbereich in Betracht. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Frontbereich gewählt und liegt im Seitenbereich erkennbar kein Überstand vor. Gemeint ist hier ein überhängender Bereich, also gewissermaßen ein Teil der die Oberseite des Deckels umlaufenden Seitenkante, der über die Vertikale hinaus gekippt ist, also sozusagen schon etwas nach unten weist. Dieser überhängende Bereich soll vertikal von der unteren Grenze der WC-Deckelseitenkante beabstandet sein.Furthermore, the toilet lid preferably has a projection as a handle. In principle, both a side area and the front area come into consideration for this. In the exemplary embodiment, the front area is selected and there is no protrusion in the side area. What is meant here is an overhanging area, so to speak, a part of the side edge surrounding the top of the lid, which is tilted beyond the vertical, that is to say already somewhat downwards. This overhanging area should be vertically spaced from the lower limit of the WC lid side edge.
Er lässt sich damit infolge des Überhängens zum Anheben des Deckels leicht greifen. Dabei kommt der Benutzer aber nicht in Gefahr, den verschmutzungsträchtigeren Bereich der unteren Grenze der Seitenkante bzw. die Unterseite des WC-Deckels selbst zu berühren. Auch wenn eine solche Berührung wegen guten Reinigungszustands objektiv unbedenklich sein mag, ist sie dem Benutzer jedenfalls unangenehm, während die gut sichtbare und damit intuitiv-visuell sauber erscheinende seitliche Kante eher zum Greifen mit der Hand geeignet erscheint.He can thus easily grab as a result of overhanging to lift the lid. However, the user is not in danger of touching the more polluting area of the lower boundary of the side edge or the underside of the toilet lid itself. Even though such a touch may be objectively harmless because of its good cleaning state, it is in any case unpleasant for the user, while the easily visible and thus intuitively visually clean lateral edge seems to be more suitable for gripping by hand.
Diese Ausgestaltung ist natürlich besonders relevant, wenn der WC-Deckel keinen motorischen Antrieb aufweist oder jedenfalls zum Starten des Antriebs etwas angehoben werden muss. Die Ausgestaltung eignet sich damit besonders für technisch nicht ganz aufwendige und kostengünstigere Dusch-WCs, wohingegen teure Modelle häufig über einen elektrischen WC-Deckelantrieb verfügen.Of course, this embodiment is particularly relevant if the toilet lid has no motor drive or at least has to be raised slightly to start the drive. The design is thus particularly suitable for technically not very expensive and cost-effective shower toilets, whereas expensive models often have an electric toilet lid drive.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels und der Figuren näher erläutert, wobei die einzelnen Merkmale auch in anderen Kombinationen erfindungswesentlich sein können.

Entscheidend ist, dass sich die Kante in diesem Bereich leicht greifen lässt, und zwar ohne dass man mit den Fingern an die untere Grenze der Kante bzw. die Unterseite des WC-Deckels 2 kommt. Damit ist der Deckel bei Ausführungen ohne motorischen Antrieb (bzw. bei durch ein leichtes Anheben betätigten motorischen Antrieben) hygienisch relativ unbedenklich und ergonomisch günstig zu greifen und anzuheben. Bei vertikalen oder sogar nach hinten abgerundet oder flach verlaufenden Kanten ergeben sich schlechtere oder keine Griffmöglichkeiten, wenn man nicht die Finger unter den WC-Deckel 2 führt. Aus einleuchtenden Gründen ist das aber die hygienisch kritischere Zone.It is crucial that the edge in this area can be easily grasped, and that without touching the lower border of the edge or the underside with your fingers of the
