Description

The present invention relates to a shower head for a sanitary fitting. Sanitary fittings are used, in particular, to provide liquids, such as water in particular, to a sink, wash basin, shower or bathtub as required.

Showers for sanitary fittings can, for example, be designed in the manner of shower heads and / or hand showers and / or serve to distribute the liquid released by the sanitary fitting over a large area. Showers are also known with which the liquid can be dispensed with different types of jets, for example in the form of rain jets, full jets, massage jets or pearl jets. The switchover between the individual jet types can be carried out using actuating elements on the showers, which can be used to control valves in drainage channels for the individual jet types. As a rule, showers have one main jet type and at least one secondary jet type. The main jet type is, in particular, the jet type that is used most frequently, for example rain jets. The disadvantage of the known showers is that after using a secondary jet type, the shower head is not automatically reset to the main jet type. However, this is particularly desirable with showers that are used in hotel rooms.

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 provide a shower whose spray type is automatically reset to the main spray type after the shower has been used.

This object is achieved with a shower head according to the features of the independent patent claim. Further advantageous refinements of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. It should be pointed out that the features listed individually in the dependent claims can be combined with one another in any technologically meaningful way and define further embodiments of the invention. In addition, the features specified in the patent claims are specified and explained in more detail in the description, further preferred embodiments of the invention being presented.

• - A spring element, by means of which the adjusting element can be returned to an initial position after the shower has been operated.

Sanitary fittings are used in particular to supply liquids, such as water in particular, to sinks, sinks, showers and / or bathtubs as required. For this purpose, the sanitary fittings can be supplied with cold water with a cold water temperature and hot water with a hot water temperature, which can be mixed by the sanitary fittings, for example by means of a mixing valve or a thermostatic mixer cartridge, to form mixed water with a desired mixed water temperature. The cold water temperature is in particular a maximum of 25 ° C (Celsius), preferably 1 ° C to 25 ° C, particularly preferably 5 ° C to 20 ° C and / or the hot water temperature in particular a maximum of 90 ° C, preferably 25 ° C to 90 ° C, particularly preferably 55 ° C to 65 ° C. The mixed water can then be fed to a shower, for example via a liquid line or a liquid hose, which is designed, for example, in the manner of an overhead shower or hand shower. The shower head can be firmly connected to a support, such as a wall, or it can be moved by a user. By means of the shower head, the liquid can be sprayed in particular with a plurality or a plurality of different types of jets. In particular, by means of the shower, the liquid can be sprayed with at least three, preferably three to five, particularly preferably exactly three different types of jets.

For this purpose, the shower has a housing with at least one inflow channel and a plurality of outflow channels. The housing can consist at least partially of metal and / or plastic. The liquid can be fed to the shower head via the at least one inflow channel. For this purpose, the inflow channel can in particular be connected to the liquid line or the liquid hose of the sanitary fitting. By means of the plurality of outflow channels, the liquid can be fed to at least one jet generator, by means of which different jet types can be generated. Each drainage channel is in particular assigned to a different jet type, so that the spray type that is assigned to the respective drainage channel through which the liquid flows is formed by the shower. The housing has in particular at least two drainage channels, preferably three to five drainage channels, particularly preferably exactly three drainage channels for a corresponding number of jet types.

Furthermore, the shower has at least one actuating element that can be actuated by a user. This means in particular that the at least one actuating element is arranged in such a way that it is accessible by the user when using the sanitary fitting. The desired spray type of the shower can be set by means of the at least one actuating element. For this purpose, the at least one actuating element can, for example, have a plurality of pressure points, upon actuation of which a corresponding jet type can be set.

The at least one actuating element can in particular be designed in the manner of a plate or (round) disk and / or (for example at a central point) can be tilted.

The shower also has an actuating element which, for example, can be moved in or on the housing by the at least one actuating element in an actuating plane. This can mean that when the at least one actuating element is actuated by a user in order to set the desired jet types, the actuating element is moved by the at least one actuating element in the actuating plane. The operating plane can be circular. The actuating element can have a central axis around which, for example, an annular section or region of the actuating element can be designed (essentially) rotationally symmetrical. The central axis runs particularly orthogonally to the actuating plane of the actuating element. The adjusting element can be designed in an annular manner. The adjusting element can have an L-shaped cross section. The plurality of valves or the valve bodies of the plurality of valves are in particular arranged within the annular adjusting element. Furthermore, the adjusting element can be designed in the manner of a regular polygon. The at least one actuating element can be a conical actuating surface or a locking disk with a conical actuating surface can be formed between the at least one actuating element and the actuating element, wherein the conical actuating surface contacts an end face of the actuating element so that the conical actuating surface activates the actuating element in the event of a change in position (e.g. . When tilting) the locking disc moves in the actuation level. A “conical” configuration of the actuating surface can comprise an inclined outer contact surface, with “conical” not being understood in the exact mathematical sense. A “locking disk” in this sense does not have to have an exclusively flat shape.

The locking disk can, for. B. comprise a flat or planar central area and an outer collar which kinks therefrom and / or runs obliquely to it. It is possible that the locking disc is equipped with elevations, depressions and / or openings.

The locking disk can be made in several parts. For example, a plurality or 2, 3 or 4 locking disk elements can be provided, which are movable, in particular tiltable, separately from one another. The locking disk elements can be fixed approximately in the middle or near the center axis via a joint and, if necessary, be movable or pivotable with the radially outer element area. The locking disk elements can have mutually matching contours or side edges, so that together they have an essentially disk-shaped shape (possibly with narrow gaps between them).

In addition, the shower has a plurality of valves which can close the plurality of drainage channels. For this purpose, the plurality of valves are arranged in particular in the plurality of drainage channels. Furthermore, the shower has, in particular, one valve for each discharge channel. Each valve of the plurality of valves can also have a valve body which, for example, can comprise a valve head and a piston section, wherein the valve head and the piston section can be arranged in a T-shape relative to one another. The valve head can extend orthogonally to the actuating plane of the actuating element and / or the piston section can extend parallel to the actuating plane of the actuating element. The valve bodies are thus in particular arranged horizontally and / or can be adjusted from a closed position to an open position by the actuating element parallel to the actuating plane of the actuating element. The plurality of valves can hereby be designed to be particularly compact in the housing. In the closed position, the respective valve is closed, so that (essentially) no liquid can flow out through the respective outflow channel. Furthermore, in the closed position, the valve head of the valve body can be attached to a sealing surface issue. If a user actuates the at least one actuating element to set the desired jet type, the valve body of the valve of the outflow channel assigned to the desired jet type can be moved through the adjusting element along a valve body adjusting path, which runs in particular straight and / or parallel to the actuating plane of the adjusting element, in the direction of the open position of the Valve body can be adjusted. As a result, the respective valve is at least partially opened so that liquid can flow out through the respective outflow channel.

The plurality of valves or the valve bodies of the plurality of valves are in particular (mechanically) coupled to the actuating element in such a way that an adjustment of a valve or valve body by the actuating element in the direction of the open position causes a closing movement of at least one other valve or valve body in the direction of the Allows closed position. In other words, this means in particular that the adjusting element when adjusting a valve body in the direction of the open position at the same time at least partially releases the valve body adjusting path in the direction of the closed position of at least one other valve body, so that a return movement or closing movement of the at least one other valve or valve body is made possible. The return movement or closing movement of the at least one other valve or the at least one other valve body in the direction of the closed position can take place, for example, through a liquid pressure prevailing in the shower head, in particular until the valve head of the valve body contacts the sealing surface in the closed position or the actuating element contacts another Movement of the valve body blocked in the direction of the closed position. The plurality of valves or valve bodies can be adjusted in the direction of the open position via an inner circumferential surface of the actuating element. The inner circumferential surface of the actuating element extends in particular in a circumferential direction of the actuating element and orthogonally to the actuation plane of the actuating element and / or in particular makes contact with a longitudinal end of the valve body or a piston section of the valve body. The valve bodies can be guided through the housing or a carrier between the closed position and the open position. The valve bodies can be guided between the closed position and the open position, in particular through a common carrier. The carrier is preferably at least partially made of plastic and / or is at least partially arranged in the housing. Furthermore, the plurality of drainage channels can be formed by the housing or the carrier. The valve bodies can be adjustable between the closed position and the open position along a valve body adjustment path, the valve body adjustment path running orthogonally to a central axis of the adjusting element. The closed position and the open position are located in particular at the respective longitudinal ends of the valve body travel. The valve body travel is in particular straight. The valve body adjustment paths of the individual valve bodies run in particular in a star shape in the direction of the central axis of the adjustment element.

An inlet chamber can be formed between the valve bodies. In particular, the at least one inflow channel of the housing opens into the inlet chamber.

The valve bodies can be adjusted in the direction of the closed position by a liquid pressure in the inlet chamber.

A pressure element, by means of which the valve bodies can be adjusted in the direction of the closed position, can be arranged between the valve bodies. The pressure element is, in particular, configured in an annular manner and / or can be arranged in the inlet chamber. Furthermore, the pressure element can be displaced in the inlet chamber, in particular by moving a valve body in the direction of the open position, whereby the pressure element displaces at least one other valve body in the direction of the closed position.

In addition, the valve bodies of the plurality of valves can be coupled to the actuating element in such a way that the actuating element always adjusts at least one valve body at least partially in the direction of the open position. This ensures that at least one valve is always at least partially open, so that the liquid can flow out through at least one drainage channel in every position of the actuating element in the actuating plane. Even if the at least one actuation element is not correctly or completely actuated by the user to select a jet type, so that the valves are moved into an intermediate position between the closed position and the open position, it is ensured that all valves do not close (automatically) can. Should such an intermediate position arise, the design of the components and the coupling of the valve bodies via the actuating element ensure that all valves are open to a certain extent. The valve bodies of the plurality of valves are dependent on one another and / or connected to one another via the actuating element and their movement along the respective valve body actuating path is dependent on one another. This prevents impermissibly high liquid pressures from causing damage in the shower.

In addition, the shower head has a spring element, by means of which the adjusting element can be returned to an initial position after the shower head has been operated. In the starting position of the control element in particular that valve is opened that is assigned to a main jet type. The other valves are preferably closed in the starting position of the adjusting element. If the user sets a jet type other than the main jet type while the shower is in operation and the user adjusts the control element from the initial position, the control element is initially held in the adjusted position by the liquid pressure of the liquid in the shower. If the use of the shower is ended, for example by stopping the flow of liquid to the shower, the liquid pressure in the shower drops and the adjusting element is returned to the starting position by the spring element. This means that when the shower is used again, the main jet type is automatically activated and the secondary jet types deactivated.

The spring element can be designed as a wire spring. The wire spring can in particular have a wire thickness of 1 mm (millimeters) to 4 mm and / or a (wire) length of 20 mm to 100 mm.

The spring element can run in a straight line. This can mean in particular that the spring element comprises a straight spring wire or consists of a straight spring wire.

The spring element can have longitudinal ends which are fastened to a housing element. The housing element is in particular a component of the shower head or the housing of the shower head. The longitudinal ends of the spring element can be held on the housing element or the housing of the shower head by snap hooks, for example.

The spring element can be supported on a peripheral surface of the adjusting element. This means in particular that the actuating element makes contact with the spring element between the two longitudinal ends of the spring element and / or the spring element is elastically deformable between its two longitudinal ends by the actuating element. Due to the elastic deformation of the spring element, the spring element generates a restoring force on the adjusting element. During operation of the shower, the liquid pressure in the shower, in particular in an inlet chamber of the shower, acts against the restoring force, so that the restoring force during operation of the shower is not sufficient to return the actuating element to the starting position. Only after the flow of liquid into the shower has been switched off does the liquid pressure in the shower drop so that the adjusting element is returned to the starting position by the restoring force of the spring element.

The spring element can be connected to a check valve element. In this case, the spring element is designed in particular in the manner of a helical spring and / or is arranged in the housing or an inflow channel of the housing. Furthermore, the spring element is fastened in particular with a first longitudinal end (fixed) to the housing or a component of the housing, whereas a second longitudinal end of the spring element is fastened to the check valve element. The check valve element can thus be pulled onto a valve seat of the check valve in particular by the spring element. The check valve element is (mechanically) coupled in particular to the adjusting element. During operation of the sanitary fitting, the check valve element is lifted from the valve seat by the liquid pressure of the liquid against a restoring force of the spring element, whereby the check valve element does not counteract a movement of the actuating element in the actuating plane. After using the shower head, d. H. after the liquid inflow has been deactivated, the liquid pressure in the inflow channel of the housing drops so that the non-return valve element pulls back onto the valve seat of the non-return valve through the spring element. As a result, the check valve element moves the adjusting element back into the starting position.

The check valve element can be used to adjust a lever by means of which the actuating element can be returned to the starting position. This means in particular that the check valve element is not coupled directly to the actuating element, but rather to the actuating element via the lever.

The lever can be rotatably attached to the housing. In particular, the lever can be rotatably fastened to the housing on an axis of rotation. The axis of rotation runs in particular orthogonally to the actuation plane. Furthermore, the lever can be rotatable in a plane of rotation which runs parallel to the actuation plane.

The spring element can be arranged in the at least one inlet of the housing.

• 3 : the first variant of the shower in a second perspective illustration after activation of a second type of jet;
• 4th : a second variant of a shower in longitudinal section;
• 5 : the second variant of the shower in a first perspective illustration after activation of a second type of jet; and
• 6th : the second variant of the shower in a second perspective representation in an initial position.

The 1 shows a first variant of a shower head 1 in longitudinal section. The shower 1 has a housing 2 on, which is a housing element in the variant shown here 16 includes in the manner of a base plate. The shower 1 is via an inflow channel 3 of the housing 2 a liquid can be supplied, the inflow channel 3 into an inlet chamber 20th flows out. The shower 1 also has a disk-shaped actuating element 5 on, by means of which a user of the shower head 1 a desired jet type can be selected. By the actuator 5 is an annular adjusting element 6th in one operating level 7th movable, which is parallel to the actuating element 5 or the housing element 16 extends. The actuator is for this purpose 5 displaceable or tiltable by a user in three directions. When moving the actuating element 5 becomes the actuator 6th by a conical surface 21st of the actuating element 5 in the actuation level 7th adjusted.

The 2 shows the shower 1 in a first perspective illustration without the actuating element 5 . The shower 1 has three valves 8.1 , 8.2 , 8.3 which are identical. Through the first valve 8.1 is a first drainage channel 4.1 , through the second valve 8.2 a second drainage channel 4.2 and through the third valve 8.3 a third drainage channel 4.3 of the housing 2 lockable. That in the 1 actuator shown 5 can have a first pressure point for selecting a first type of jet or for actuating the first valve 8.1 , a second pressure point for selecting a second jet type or for actuating the second valve 8.2 and a third pressure point for selecting a third jet type or for actuating the third valve 8.3 exhibit. When a pressure point is pressed, the actuating element 5 tilt in the respective direction. For this purpose, the actuating element 5 for example, be mounted tiltable in its center. In the in the 2 shown operating position of the shower 1 is the control element 6th in a starting position 13 . In the starting position 13 opens the actuator 6th the first valve 8.1 so that liquid from the inlet chamber 20th to form a first type of jet via the first drainage channel 4.1 can drain. At the same time the control element closes 6th the second valve 8.2 and the third valve 8.3 so that no liquid comes out of the inlet chamber 20th via the second drainage channel 4.2 and the third drainage channel 4.3 can drain. The drainage channels 4.1 , 4.2 , 4.3 lead to jet formers not shown here for generating the various jet types. The first valve 8.1 has a first valve body 9.1 , the second valve 8.2 a second valve body 9.2 and the third valve 8.3 a third valve body 9.3 on. The valve body 9.1 , 9.2 and 9.3 extend through the housing 2 and contact an inner surface 22nd of the actuator 6th . The first valve body 9.1 and the second valve body 9.2 and a third valve body 9.3 in a closed position 10 . Furthermore, the first valve body 9.1 by a spring element 12 in the open position 11 held. The spring element 12 is designed here like a straight wire spring and is supported on a peripheral surface 17th of the actuator 6th from. Furthermore, the spring element 12 a first longitudinal end 14th and a second longitudinal end 15th on that in a first shot 23 and a second shot 24 of the housing element 16 are attached. The area between the first shot 23 and the second shot 24 of the spring element 12 is when adjusting the first valve 8.1 in the closed position 10 tensionable.

This operating situation is in the 3 shown in the second valve 8.2 by the actuator 6th in an open position 11 and the first valve 8.1 through the one in the inlet chamber 20th while the shower is operating 1 prevailing fluid pressure in the closed position 10 was adjusted. Should be the liquid pressure in the inlet chamber 20th to adjust the valves 8.1 , 8.2 , 8.3 towards the closed position 10 not enough is in the inlet chamber 20th a circular pressure element 25th arranged by means of which the valve body 9.1 , 9.2 , 9.3 of the valves 8.1 , 8.2 , 8.3 also in the direction of the closed position 10 are adjustable. The pressure element 17th was here in the inlet chamber 20th correspondingly through the second valve body 9.2 towards the first valve body 9.1 moved so that the first valve body 9.1 in the closed position 10 was adjusted. By closing the first valve 8.1 becomes the spring element 12 elastically deformed and thus stretched. The liquid pressure in the inlet chamber 20th holds the first valve 8.1 while the shower is operating 1 against a spring force of the spring element 12 in the closed position 10 . Becomes the inlet channel 3 of the housing 2 when turning off the shower 1 closed, the liquid pressure in the inlet chamber drops 20th so that the actuator 6th in those in the 2 Starting position shown 13 (automatically) reset. This means that the next time the shower is used 1 (only) the first valve 8.1 opened to form a main jet type.

The 4th shows a second variant of the shower head 1 in a perspective sectional view. The shower 1 has a housing 2 with an inflow channel 3 on that in an inlet chamber 20th flows out. In the inlet chamber 20th is an actuator 6th arranged that by an actuator 5 in one operating level 7th on a passage element 29 is movable. The actuator is for this purpose 5 tiltable in its center on a lid 26th stored and over pens 27 with sloping surfaces 28 of the actuator 6th connected. The actuator 6th is via a lever 19th and a check valve element 18th a check valve 30th with a spring element 12 connected. The spring element 12 is designed here in the manner of a helical spring. The 4th shows the shower 1 in an operating situation, in the liquid through the inflow channel 3 into the inlet chamber 20th flows. This becomes the check valve element 18th from a valve seat 31 of the check valve 30th lifted so that the actuator 6th is freely movable.

The 5 shows the shower 1 in a perspective view without the actuating element 5 and the lid 26th . The actuator 6th has a first opening 32 for a first valve 8.1 , a second opening 33 for a second valve 8.2 and a third opening 34 for a third valve 8.3 on. The valves 8.1 , 8.2 , 8.3 are through the actuator 6th and the underlying passage element 29 educated. Depending on the position of the control element, the valves 8.1 , 8.2 , 8.3 opened or closed. The liquid can come from the inlet chamber 20th by opening the first valve 8.1 via a first drainage channel 4.1 by opening the second valve 8.2 via a second drainage channel 4.2 and by opening the third valve 8.3 via a third drainage channel 4.3 flow off to the appropriate jet generator. The actuator 6th was in the 5 through that in the 4th actuator shown 5 adjusted so that the second valve 8.2 is open. The actuator 6th is in this position by the liquid pressure in the inlet chamber 20th held. When closing the inflow channel 3 of the housing 2 the liquid pressure in the inlet chamber drops 20th so that in the 4th check valve element shown 18th by the spring element 12 back on the valve seat 31 is pulled. This will make the lever 19th around its axis of rotation 35 rotated so that the actuator 6th in the in the 6th Starting position shown 13 is reset. In the 6th is an operating position of the shower 1 shown in the actuator 6th through the lever 19th was adjusted so that the first valve 8.1 in the open position 11 is located.

With the present invention, the same jet type is always activated in a shower for a sanitary fitting before it is used.
