Description

The invention relates to a mounting module for mounting a cistern and a method for realizing a front wall in front of such a mounting module and a method for realizing a toilet installation with a toilet bowl installed on a front side of a front wall.

Generic mounting modules are well known in the prior art and are mostly used for mounting a cistern behind a front wall. The assembly module extends along a vertical line with a height and along a transversal line with a width and forms a front side, with the pre-wall usually being arranged on the front side of the assembly module that extends along the vertical and transversal lines. The front wall can have openings through which elements of the assembly module extend, so that the front wall is only arranged in front of sections of the front side of the assembly module and further sections of the assembly module extend in front of the front wall, so that they form front wall side sections of the assembly module that are arranged in front of the pretext. The term front always means the side of the assembly module on which a toilet bowl is intended to be attached to the assembly module and which is viewed from a direction perpendicular to the vertical and to the transversal. To attach the toilet bowl, the assembly module usually has fastening rods that are firmly mounted on a module frame of the assembly module and onto which the toilet bowl can then be pushed, while the fastening rods are inserted into corresponding passages in the toilet bowl, after which a final attachment of the toilet bowl to the attachment rods by means of fixing devices corresponding to the attachment rods, for example comprising a nut and/or a clamping unit. A cistern usually includes an actuating device for triggering a toilet flush, which is usually integrated into a cover plate which closes a reversion opening provided in the cistern. Generic assembly modules usually include a module frame, a drain pipe and a flushing cistern with a flushing pipe, with the flushing cistern being attached to the module frame in an operating position of the assembly module and the flushing pipe forming a flushing pipe connection open on the front side of the assembly module and the drain pipe being attached to the module frame and forms a drain pipe connection open at the front of the mounting module. The operating position refers to a specific arrangement of the components of the assembly module in relation to one another. In the operating position, the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection of the mounting module are accessible from the front, so that in the operating position of the mounting module, a toilet bowl with its flushing water inlet connection and its waste water outlet connection can be connected to the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection from the front of the mounting module.

Generic mounting modules are suitable for the particularly simple installation of a toilet. The provision of the module frame, which usually has at least two vertical struts and at least two transversal struts connecting the struts, enables simple assembly of the cistern and a toilet bowl in one room. Because the module frame can be set up with its vertical underside on a room floor and fixed to the room floor and in particular to a wall delimiting the room, for example the support structure for a drywall or a building wall, so that a cistern fixed to the module frame and a cistern on the Module frame fixed toilet body can be arranged fixed in a room in a simple and reliable manner. At the same time, by fixing the flush pipe and the drain pipe to the module frame, the module frame can reliably fix the positions of these pipes in the operative position. The drain pipe, which is fastened to the module frame, usually opens out at its vertically lower end into a building-side sewage line. After the drain pipe of the mounting module has been connected to the building's waste water line and the cistern has been connected to at least one building's water supply line and in particular also to a building's electrical supply line, a front wall can then be implemented in front of the module frame and thus at least in sections in front of the mounting module. Such a pretext is usually realized as drywall. The pre-wall comprises a building board, for example a plasterboard, and usually UW and CW profiles are used as supporting framework for the pre-wall, on the front of which the building boards of the pre-wall are mounted. Generic assembly modules usually have a module frame that can be arranged in such UW or CW profiles. Generic assembly modules thus enable a reliable fixation and a reliable connection of a cistern before the pre-wall is assembled, so that after completion of the pre-wall, which usually includes not only building boards but also tiles applied to the front of the building boards, a toilet body on the front of the pre-wall to be assembled and can be easily connected to the flush pipe connection of the cistern and the drain pipe connection.

Generic assembly modules must therefore remain in a room for a long time during the construction period after the drain pipe and cistern have been connected to the corresponding building-side lines or connections of the lines. This is because different trades are usually active at this point in time, such as floor layers, drywallers, tilers, electricians, etc. The requirement for assembly modules of this type is therefore to enable subsequent connection of a toilet body during this construction period without damage and, moreover, access to building-side ones To protect connections, for example to prevent unpleasant odors from escaping from the building's sewage pipe or the entry of contaminants into such a sewage pipe during the construction period. In addition, such mounting modules should enable the toilet body to be connected as simply and securely as possible after the pre-wall and, in particular, the floor have been set up in a room. Generic mounting modules meet these requirements only partially. For example, it is known to deliver assembly modules with covers that can be plugged onto the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection. As a result, damage to the drain pipe connection and flushing pipe connection and the entry of contaminants into these connections and the escape of unpleasant odors can be largely avoided. However, such covering hoods only insufficiently ensure a simple completion of the pre-wall in such a way that the most universal possible connectability of any WC bodies is subsequently ensured. It must be taken into account that toilet bowls with a wide variety of functions are available on the market today, for example with additional functions such as a hygiene flush, odor extraction or a drying fan. Different wall connections are required for the different toilet bodies, but the provision of cover hoods on the flush pipe connection and drain pipe connection does not provide sufficient space, which later allows almost any toilet body to be directly connected to the front wall without the need for costly and difficult supplementary work, such as the targeted prying open of the front wall. Furthermore, depending on the design of the cistern and toilet body, different types of wall connections are required, for example an electrical connection for the power supply of the toilet body, for example for heating water in a shower, for an odor extraction system or a hair dryer, an electrical connection for the power supply of an electric actuating plate and /or a water connection provided in addition to the flushing pipe, for example for a shower facility. In addition, conventional mounting modules do not offer any safety precautions that can be used to ensure that the respective waste water outlet connection of the toilet body and flushing water supply connection of the toilet body are fluid-tight when a toilet body is later connected, even if pre-walls are provided with a considerable depth connected to the flush pipe connection or the drain pipe connection. In addition, during the usually long construction period, during which the assembly module is installed in a room before the construction of the pre-wall is completed, modifications to the assembly module can easily be made by unauthorized personnel or information about installation requirements of the assembly module can be lost until ultimately, the installing plumber performs the installation of a toilet body on the front of the pre-wall, which may result in further mistakes in the installation of the toilet body.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a mounting module or a method for realizing a pretext in front of such a mounting module or a method for realizing a toilet installation or a system with such a mounting module that has at least some known problems and disadvantages Fixes assembly modules or methods or systems at least partially.

As a solution to the stated problem underlying the invention, the invention proposes an assembly module with the features according to claim 1 .

The mounting module is suitable for mounting a flushing cistern, in particular behind a front wall which is arranged on a front side of the mounting module which extends along a vertical and along a transversal. The assembly module comprises a module frame, which extends with its module frame height along the vertical and with its module frame width along the transversal. The assembly module also includes a drain pipe and a flushing cistern with a flushing pipe, with the flushing cistern being fastened to the module frame and the flushing pipe forming a flushing pipe connection that is open on the front side of the assembly module in a construction time position of the assembly module that defines a fixed arrangement of the components of the assembly module with respect to one another and the drain pipe fixed to the module frame and forms a drain pipe connection open at the front of the mounting module. The assembly module according to the invention can have further features which are explained above in connection with generic assembly modules or methods.

According to the invention, the assembly module has a two-part connection extension, which includes a connection element and a closure element. The connection element and the closure element are preferably elements that are each produced separately from the module frame. The connection element is preferably made of plastic, preferably as an injection molded part. The closure element is preferably made of plastic, paper or cardboard. In the construction time position of the assembly module, the closure element of the connection extension is detachably fastened to the module frame and the connection element and closes the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection. The closure element has on its front side, i. H. with its projection, viewed from the front in a direction perpendicular to the transverse and vertical, having a transverse and a vertical extension within which both the flush pipe connector and the drain pipe connector are located, this front with its corresponding transverse and vertical extension, within which both the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection are arranged, by at least 15 mm, in particular at least 30 mm, in particular between 15 mm and 100 mm, over the module frame, d. H. over the front of the module frame. In the present context, protruding generally means protruding along a direction that is perpendicular to the vertical and to the transversal. The closure element is preferably fastened directly to the connection element and in particular is fastened directly to the module frame. In one embodiment, the closure element is attached to the connection element indirectly via the module frame. In one embodiment, the connection element and/or the closure element is/are attached to the module frame indirectly via the drain pipe attached to the module frame and/or via the flushing pipe attached to the module frame. For this purpose, the connecting element preferably has a first connecting element section, which is plugged around the outside of the flushing pipe connection for fastening the connecting element to the flushing pipe, and/or a second connecting element section, which is plugged around the outside of the drain pipe connection for fixing the connecting element to the drain pipe. Alternatively or additionally, the closure element preferably has a first closure element section, which is inserted into the flush pipe connection for fastening the closure element to the flush pipe, and/or a second closure element section, which is inserted into the drain pipe connection for fastening the closure element on the drain pipe. The closure element is preferably attached to the module frame exclusively indirectly via the flushing pipe and/or the drain pipe. The connection element is preferably attached to the module frame exclusively indirectly via the flushing pipe and/or the drain pipe. A corresponding configuration of the closure element and module frame as well as the closure element and connection element is always provided such that the closure element can be detached from both the module frame and the connection element, starting from the construction time position, and can therefore be separated and removed from both. By the closure element closing the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection, the closing element ensures that a clear cross-section through which the drain pipe connection and the flushing pipe connection are accessible from the front of the assembly module in the construction time position is significantly smaller, in particular at least 50% smaller, in particular at least 80% smaller, in particular at least 95% smaller, than the respective clear cross section of flushing pipe connection and drain pipe connection, form the flushing pipe connection and drain pipe connection in a plane spanned by transversal and vertical. Particularly preferably, the closure element closes at least the drain pipe cross section in an odour-tight manner.

Starting from the construction time position, the closure element can be detached from the connection element and the module frame in order to realize an operating position of the assembly module. The operating position of the assembly module defines an arrangement of these components that differs from the arrangement of the components of the assembly module defined in the construction time position. However, based on the construction time position in the operating position, the cistern is fixed unchanged to the module frame and the flushing pipe unchanged forms a flushing pipe connection open on the front side of the mounting module and the drain pipe is fixed on the module frame and forms a drain pipe connection open on the front side of the mounting module. A modified arrangement of the closure element relative to the other components of the assembly module is particularly preferably the only difference between the construction time position and the operating position. In one embodiment, the only difference between the operating position and the construction time position is a change in the position of the closure element and the connection element relative to the other components of the assembly module. In the operating position, the connecting element ment attached to the module frame, preferably fixed unchanged based on the construction time position. In the operating position, the front side of the connection element protrudes, preferably unchanged from the construction time position, over the module frame, ie over the front side of the module frame, in particular by at least 5 mm, in particular between 5 mm and 30 mm over the module frame. The connection element forms a guide that runs along a direction that is perpendicular to the transversal and perpendicular to the vertical, which runs at least with one guide section in front of the front side of the module frame and in particular with a further guide section that is directly connected to the first-mentioned guide section , also extends behind the module frame. Particularly preferably, starting from the operating position, the closure element can be placed on the front side of the connection element in order to implement the construction time position, in particular without changing the position and fixing the connection element relative to the module frame, and can be releasably fixed relative to the connection element, for example by directly fixing it on the connection element and /or Fixation on the module frame, with the front side of the closure element, with which it has the said transverse and vertical extension, within which both the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection are arranged, being particularly preferably extended by at least 5 mm, in particular by at least 5 mm, in the construction time position Protrude 10 mm from the front of the connection element.

The assembly module according to the invention has a number of advantages. By providing a two-part connection extension, special consideration can be given to the different conditions and requirements during the construction period, during which the front wall is also being erected, and during the connection of a toilet to the assembly module after the construction period, i.e. after the front wall has been realized . When the assembly module is in the construction phase, the front side of the closure element extends transversely and vertically over the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection, thus covering both of these as seen from the front side, in particular by forming a flat closed front side of the closure element, and closing the pipe connections on the one hand, damage to these pipe connections must be prevented and, on the other hand, the entry of contaminants into lines connected to these pipe connections must be prevented. By the fact that the front side of the closure element, with which it covers the drain pipe connection and the flushing pipe connection, viewed from the front, clearly protrudes over the module frame, in particular by at least 15 mm, in particular by at least 30 mm, in particular by at least 50 mm, in particular between 15 mm and 100 mm, in particular between 30 mm and 100 mm, the closure element also serves as a placeholder for an opening to be provided in the pre-wall when the pre-wall is assembled on the front side of the assembly module. As a result, a sufficiently large opening can be provided in the pre-wall, which allows a universal connection of almost any toilet body with almost any functionalities. By the closure element specifying clear dimensions of the opening in the pre-wall and thus, for example, also allowing a tiler to provide the opening in the size of the closure element, i.e. the transverse and vertical extension of the closure element with its front side, it can also be ensured that Only one such opening is realized in the pre-wall, which is covered by almost every standard toilet body after it has been installed on the front of the pre-wall. By also providing a connection element that is releasably attached to the closure element in the construction time position and that provides guidance with a guide section in front of the front of the module frame in the operating position, it is ensured on the one hand that the connection element is reliably attached to the module frame in the construction time position is fixed and is not lost and on the other ensures that in the operating position, in which a connection of a toilet bowl can preferably be made to the mounting module, a guide is provided that simplifies the connection of the toilet bowl. The guide can, for example, include a fluid guide from at least one of the drain pipe connection and the flush pipe connection to in front of the module frame, which means that in the event of a faulty connection of a waste water connection line leading to a toilet bowl to the drain pipe connection and/or a faulty connection of a flush water connection line leading to a toilet bowl to the flush pipe connection escaping leakage water is routed in front of the module frame so that it can be noticed from the front of the pre-wall. The guide can, for example, also include a geometric guide, for example by providing a cavity or guiding side walls, which enable a targeted positioning of a connection device, such as a hygiene flushing supply hose or an electrical supply line or an electrical control device or other connection device that is connected to a toilet bowl. Body can be connected, or allow other components such as a Versprungsets for targeted height installation of a toilet body. By the leadership in any case with a leadership section before Extending module frame, the guide ensures sufficient guidance along the direction perpendicular to the transversal and vertical and/or allows sufficient storage space and the provision of sufficient guide sections to facilitate a toilet connection. Particularly preferably, the guide with its guide section extending in front of the module frame is arranged exclusively within a vertically and transversely extending area, which the mentioned front side of the closure element, which projects at least 15 mm from the module frame, covers with its transverse and vertical extensions in the construction time position. Particularly preferably, the entire extent of the connecting element in the operating position, with which the connecting element extends in front of the module frame, is arranged exclusively within a vertically and transversely extending extent area, which the mentioned front side of the closure element covers with its transverse and vertical extent in the construction time position. Particularly preferably, the connecting element is reversibly detachable from the module frame, starting from the operating position. H. detachable from the module frame and then reattachable. A corresponding, reversibly detachable fastening can be effected, for example, by latching and/or clamping. Particularly preferably, the module frame has two vertical struts and several transverse struts connecting the struts. The drain pipe connection is preferably arranged vertically between two of the transverse struts, with the drain pipe preferably overlapping at least one, in particular both of the transverse struts at its end forming the drain pipe connection in a direction perpendicular to the vertical and transverse. The drain pipe is preferably fastened with its end forming the drain pipe connection to at least one of the two transverse struts via a fastening device, such as a clip. More preferably, the transverse struts are spaced apart vertically by at least 11 cm. Particularly preferably, starting from the operating position, the connecting element can be detached from the module frame, releasing a free space previously covered by the connecting element, seen from the front, on both transverse sides of the drain pipe connection, with the free space on each of the transverse sides of the end of the drain pipe forming the drain pipe connection becoming extending in the transverse direction over at least 5 cm, in particular at least 10 cm, starting from the respective transverse end of the end of the drain pipe, in particular extending vertically continuously between the two transverse struts, in particular in the transverse direction continuously up to the supporting strut adjacent to the respective transverse end of the end of the drain pipe. By releasing this free space, the connection of the drain pipe of the assembly module to a building-side sewage line is particularly simplified, since after dismantling the connection element from the module frame, the free space makes it easy to handle the drain pipe, in particular the drain pipe can also be removed and/or moved from the Module frame is given, whereby the drain pipe can be easily plugged into a sewage pipe connection of the building's sewage pipe or connected to it.

In one embodiment, the vertical and the horizontal extension of the element at its front, which protrudes by at least 15 mm over the module frame and within which both the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection are arranged, each through an outer side surrounding the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection of the closure element is limited. The outside preferably runs continuously around the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection, in particular continuously circumferentially. The outside preferably runs, in particular continuously, from said front side of the closure element to the front side of the connecting element or to the front side of the module frame along a direction which is perpendicular to the vertical and the transversal, over its course in this direction the flushing pipe connection and surrounds the drain pipe connection. The outside of the closure element preferably encloses the same transverse and vertical extent throughout its course in this direction from the front of the closure element to the front of the connection element or to the module frame, so that a section through the outside in each plane spanned by transverse and vertical has the same areal extension within this area. By providing such a peripheral outer side of the closure element, the closure element can serve as a particularly good orientation for the provision of an opening in the pre-wall, in particular also during the application of a tile covering of the pre-wall. More preferably, the outside has an extent of at least 15 cm, in particular at least 20 cm, between its opposite absolute transverse ends and an extent of at least 20 cm, in particular at least 25 cm, between its opposite absolute vertical ends. Particularly preferably, the peripheral outside of the closure element closes in the transversal and in Ver surface of at least 300 cm ² , in particular at least 400 cm ² . As a result, a particularly advantageous, large opening in the pre-wall, which can still be closed by a standard toilet bowl, can be kept free by the closing element.

In one embodiment, the connection element in the operating position, and in particular also in the construction time position, has a fluid duct from the flushing pipe connection and/or the drain pipe connection to in front of the module frame for draining off leaking water escaping from the flushing pipe connection and/or the drain pipe connection. The guide formed by the connecting element thus includes the fluid guide or is designed as the fluid guide. As explained above, it can be ensured in a particularly reliable manner that leakage water escaping at the flushing pipe connection and/or the drain pipe connection is routed through the fluid duct in front of the module frame, particularly preferably in front of the pre-wall, so that it is avoided that undetected moisture develops behind the pre-wall , which can lead, for example, to damage to the building, such as the formation of mold. The fluid guide preferably extends with a first guide section in front of the front side of the module frame and with a second guide section, starting from the first guide section and extending behind the flushing pipe connection or the drain pipe connection, with the fluid guide and in particular the first and second fluid guide sections particularly preferably each having a first part which is assigned to the flush pipe connection and runs below the flush pipe connection but above the drain pipe connection, and a second part, which is assigned to the drain pipe connection and runs below the drain pipe connection, so that over the two parts leakage water that escapes from the respective part associated pipe connection exits, can be reliably discharged. Particularly preferably, the connecting element has a first pipe socket, with which it is fluid-carryingly connected to the flushing pipe connection in the operating position, and a second pipe socket, with which it is fluid-carryingly connected to the drain pipe connection in the operating position. The first and second pipe sockets thus at least partially form the fluid guide of the connection element and each have a first section that extends in front of the module frame and a second section that runs from the first module frame to behind the respective connection. The provision of a pipe socket as part of the fluid routing has proven to be particularly advantageous for a particularly reliable routing of leakage water from the respective pipe connection to in front of the module frame. Particularly preferably, the first pipe socket is arranged on the outside around the flushing pipe connection and/or the second pipe socket is arranged on the outside around the drain pipe connection.

In one embodiment, the closure element has a first and a second cylindrical closure section, with the first cylindrical closure section closing the flush pipe connection and the second cylindrical closure section closing the drain pipe connection in the construction time position. In one embodiment, in the construction time position, the first cylindrical closure section is arranged inside the first pipe socket formed by the connection element and connected to the flushing pipe connection via this, and the second cylindrical closure section is arranged inside the second pipe socket formed by the connection element and connected via this to the drain pipe connection. In one embodiment, in the construction time position, the first cylindrical closure section is arranged in the flushing pipe connection and the second cylindrical closure section is arranged in the drain pipe connection.

In one embodiment, the connecting element has a cavity which has a front side and which is open on its front side and is accessible from the front side in the operating position, in particular from the front side of the assembly module. The cavity has a transversal and a vertical extension, with the wash pipe connection and the drain pipe connection being arranged within the transversal and within the vertical extension of the cavity. The cavity can preferably comprise at least one partial cavity, which is provided within the transverse and vertical extension of the cavity and which is defined by a respective partial cavity wall, which delimits the partial cavity transversely and/or vertically and extends with its partial cavity wall height perpendicular to the transverse and vertical. The cavity extends in a direction perpendicular to the transversal and perpendicular to the vertical, which is preferably at least 5 mm, in particular at least 10 mm long. Accordingly, the cavity is suitable for accommodating elements required for connecting a toilet body, such as supply lines, connection devices such as control devices, operating devices, transformers or the like, other components, etc., since the depth of the cavity, i.e. its extent in a direction perpendicular to the vertical and the transversal is provided with sufficient space. In one embodiment, the connecting element has a first and a second pipe socket, which are encompassed by the cavity, with at least one section of the wall of the respective pipe socket represents a partial cavity wall and the clear cross section of the respective pipe socket represents a partial cavity in each case. The cavity is generally preferably delimited by a wall, preferably delimited by a transversely and vertically circumferential wall, the wall with its wall height extending perpendicular to the transverse and perpendicular to the vertical and preferably defining the extent of the cavity in this direction via its wall height. Particularly preferably, the wall has a wall height averaged over its circumferential length of at least 5 mm, in particular at least 10 mm, the wall with its circumferential length running around a transversely and vertically extending area and thereby enclosing a vertical and transverse surface , which is preferably at least 300 cm ² , in particular at least 400 cm ² . The wall particularly preferably runs on both transverse sides of the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection, each with a section vertically between the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection, and these sections are spaced transversely from the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection, in particular by at least 3 cm each, in particular by at least 3 cm on at least one transverse side 5 cm, in particular at least 8 cm, in particular on both transverse sides by at least 5 cm, in particular at least 8 cm. The cavity is thus preferably delimited by a wall which has a wall section which is spaced transversely from the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection. As a result, the cavity can provide a particularly suitable accommodation space for a connection device for the toilet bowl. In general, the cavity is preferably arranged with its entire transversal and vertical extension completely within a vertically and transversally extending extension area, which the front side of the closure element covers with its transversal and vertical extension in the construction time position, this being the mentioned front side of the closure element, which is at the construction time position protrudes by at least 15 mm over the module frame. This ensures that the closure element provides a placeholder in the construction time position and thus during the construction time, in particular during construction of the pre-wall, which ensures access to the cavity after the pre-wall has been implemented. In general, the assembly module particularly preferably has a cavity cover, which is designed for the reversible closing of at least part of the front side of the cavity, starting from the operating position. For this purpose, the cavity cover particularly preferably has mechanical closure means which correspond to mechanical closure means which are provided on the cavity, in particular on the wall of the cavity or on at least one partial cavity wall. By providing a cavity cover, which can reversibly close part of the front side of the cavity, in particular the front side of a partial cavity delimited by a partial cavity wall, particularly good encapsulation of a connection device or another component used for a toilet, in particular an electronic component, can be guaranteed be what can protect this component or the connection device particularly advantageous when a toilet body is connected to the mounting module, which typically remains unchanged over a very long period of many years. In general, the cavity preferably has a rear wall on its rear side opposite the open front side in the operating position, which rear wall closes at least 50%, in particular more than 70%, of the rear side of the cavity. In any case, the rear wall does not close the clear cross-sections of the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection, which preferably lie within the cavity. By providing a rear wall that at least partially closes the rear side of the cavity, the cavity can ensure that the connection device or other components are accommodated in a particularly targeted manner and, in particular, that they are also better protected.

In one embodiment, the connection element and the closure element are designed to correspond to one another in such a way that, in the construction time position, their transversal and vertical ends merge flush into one another, at least in sections. Particularly preferably, the connection element does not protrude transversally and vertically beyond the closure element. The use of the mounting module can be particularly favored by the flush transition into one another, in particular the construction of a pre-wall in front of the mounting module can be particularly simplified.

In one embodiment, the mounting module has a supply hose that runs from an electrical connection and/or a water connection of the cistern to the connection element and opens into an area of the connection element that lies within a vertically and transversely extending extension area that the front side of the closure element in of the construction time position with its transversal and vertical extent, with reference to the mentioned front side, which protrudes by at least 15 mm over the module frame. Preferably, the area into which the supply hose opens is located at least in sections transversally outside of the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection. As a result, particularly good accessibility to this area can be made possible, even after a toilet bowl has been connected. The area particularly preferably extends transversally between 60 mm and 150 mm, in particular between 60 mm and 120 mm, beyond the vertical running centrally through the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection. The feed hose particularly preferably opens into the cavity of the connection element. The cavity particularly preferably has the aforesaid rear wall, the rear wall having an opening into which the feed hose opens. In general, the rear wall preferably has predetermined breaking sections, which can be broken open from the front in the event of a pressure load, releasing an opening defined by the predetermined breaking sections. In this way, an installer, for example an electrician or plumber, can provide an opening in the rear wall in the rear wall of the cavity at a point suitable for connecting the respective toilet body, through which a connection device can be guided to the toilet body or a can protrude from the toilet body at the rear extending away component.

The cavity generally preferably comprises at least one partial cavity, in particular a plurality of partial cavities. At least one, in particular several, of the partial cavities are preferably arranged with their vertical and transverse extents completely outside the vertical and transverse extent of the flushing pipe connection and the drain pipe connection. The partial cavity is provided within the cavity and is delimited at least in sections by a partial cavity wall from regions of the cavity which are provided horizontally and/or vertically adjacent to the partial cavity. In one embodiment, the cavity comprises a partial cavity which is enclosed all the way around by a partial cavity wall, with a section of the partial cavity wall preferably being provided by the wall of the cavity, whereas the remainder of the partial cavity wall runs within the cavity. A part-cavity wall is particularly preferably provided in the cavity, which separates two part-cavities of the cavity arranged next to one another from one another. Particularly preferably, the cavity has at least one partial cavity which is located outside of the flush pipe connection and outside of the drain pipe connection with respect to the vertical and with respect to the transversal, wherein in one embodiment the connection element has a first and second pipe socket explained above and the pipe socket wall of the first and second pipe socket each forming at least one section of the partial cavity wall. The feed hose explained above particularly preferably opens into one of the partial cavities. The rear wall of the cavity explained above preferably extends at least in sections, in particular completely, over the rear of the partial cavity, with the rear wall having an opening within the partial cavity into which the feed hose opens. This opening is particularly preferably located vertically below the flush pipe connection and vertically above the drain pipe connection, with this opening preferably having a first vertical distance from the flush pipe connection and a second vertical distance from the drain pipe connection, with the second distance preferably being at least twice, in particular at least three times , is in particular at least five times the first distance. Most preferably, the opening is located in a transverse region that is transversely spaced less than 2 cm from a vertical axis passing through the center of the washpipe connection and the center of the drain pipe connection. Particularly preferably, the transverse extent of the opening is limited to a transverse region that extends transversely away from the said vertical axis by a maximum of 10 cm, in particular a maximum of 8 cm, in particular a maximum of 5 cm.

In this way, an adjustable vertical assembly of a toilet bowl on the module frame can be made possible in a particularly advantageous manner by means of the projection plates. The projection plates are designed in such a way that when the projection plate is fastened using one of the fastening means that is inserted through the passage of a projection plate, the fastening device of the projection plate is offset along the vertical to the fastening device of the module frame. Particularly preferably, on the front side of the connection element or on the module frame around the fastening device of the module frame, a free space is provided for one of the jump plates, within which the respective jump plate can be arranged in a jump operating position, fastened to the module frame by one of the fastening means, while the fastening means extends through the passage or one of the passages of the jump plate.

The QR code is generally preferably accessible starting from the construction time position without dismantling the closure element from its front side. Particularly preferably, a second QR code that is accessible from the front of the connection element in the operating position is applied. Particular preference is given to a shell protection included in the assembly module and provided in the construction time position on the front of the cistern, which is provided in the construction time position on the front of an actuating device plate of the cistern to protect the actuating device plate, which preferably has an inspection opening of the cistern in the construction time position and in the operating position, a third QR code is provided.

By providing a QR code on the closure element, in particular additionally on the connection element and in particular additionally on the shell protection, it can be ensured in a very simple manner that a fitter receives the information required for using the assembly module. The inventors have recognized that the closure element, which remains on the assembly module as intended during the construction period, provides a means of communication by applying the QR code, which is reliably connected to the assembly module and can be picked up by an assembler when he starts assembling a toilet body begins. Furthermore, the inventors have recognized that the provision of QR codes on the connection element and / or on the module frame can be particularly advantageous for a later point in time after the installation of the toilet body, for example during a renovation or replacement of the toilet body a point in time when the fitter doing the work no longer has sufficient knowledge of the assembly module based on his professional knowledge. Furthermore, the inventors have recognized that the fact that at least one of the QR codes as information contains a reference to a database that contains a reference to information stored in another database can avoid a complex design of the QR code by the first-named database acts as an intermediate layer through which a reference to another database occurs. This intermediate layer can be maintained by a manufacturer of the assembly module independently of the other database, as a result of which permanent and comprehensive information can be provided on the assembly module in a particularly simple manner, in particular through a particularly simple design of the QR code that can therefore be read particularly easily without errors. The first and the second QR code are particularly preferably designed to provide the same assembly information, in particular identically designed. This can allow both an installer at initial installation, e.g. H. before dismantling the closure element, can obtain complete information about the assembly module, as well as a fitter after dismantling the closure element, for example at a point in time during renovation or replacement of the toilet body.

In the method according to the invention, a building board is attached to the front side of the mounting frame of the assembly module and a tiling is provided on the front side of the building board while the mounting module is in the construction time position. In this case, a continuous opening is provided in the building board, the opening edge of which ver runs, in particular the edge of the opening rests against the closure element or is continuously spaced apart by less than 5 cm, in particular less than 2 cm. The closure element extends through the opening provided in the building panel and thus protrudes beyond the building panel on the front side of the building panel. The tiling is provided around the closure element, while the closure element extends through the opening of the building panel and beyond the tiling and thus ultimately through the tiling to in front of the front of the tiling. Thanks to the use of the assembly module according to the invention, the method according to the invention enables a simple and targeted realization of a front wall on which a wide variety of toilet bowls can be assembled at a later point in time and connected to the assembly module.

The invention also relates to a method for implementing a toilet installation with a toilet body installed on the front of a pre-wall, a mounting frame with a cistern attached to it being provided behind the pre-wall and a flush pipe connection of the cistern and a drain pipe connection being provided behind the pre-wall, wherein a connecting projection attached to the mounting frame, which covers the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection transversally and vertically and is in particular connected to these pipe connections in a fluid-conducting manner, extends starting from the mounting frame through an in particular uninterrupted opening provided in the front wall. In the method according to the invention, in a first method step, a closure element of the connecting stem forming a front side of the connecting stem is dismantled from the module frame from the front side of the front wall, while in particular a connecting element of the connecting stem remains fixed unchanged to the module frame behind the front wall. The connection element is particularly preferred before, during and after carrying out the first method step with the pipe connections mentioned, i. h Drainage pipe connection and flushing pipe connection, fluid-carrying connected while ensuring a fluid conduction of leakage water escaping from the pipe connections in front of the module frame. In a second method step that follows the first, a connecting flush pipe is connected to the flush pipe connection and the toilet body, and a connecting drain pipe is connected to the drain pipe socket and the toilet body, while the connection element, preferably unchanged, is attached to the module frame behind the pre-wall. Particularly preferably, the connection element is connected to the pipe connections mentioned in a fluid-carrying manner, ensuring fluid guidance of leakage water escaping at the transition between the respective pipe connection and the respective connecting pipe in front of the module frame, in particular in front of the front side of the pre-wall. In a third method step, which is carried out after the first method step and which can be carried out, for example, before, during or after the second method step, it is particularly preferred to have an additional connection provided on the assembly module, in particular a water connection for a hygiene flush and/or an electrical connection, for example for a hygiene flush or the cistern actuator connected to the toilet body. In this case, the connection on the module frame is arranged in an area which, before the implementation of the first method step, is arranged inside, in particular exclusively inside, the transverse and vertical extent of the closure element. The connection is particularly preferably covered by the closure element before the implementation of the first method step and is made accessible during the first method step by dismantling the closure element from the front side of the pre-wall.

The invention also relates to a system for providing assembly information on an assembly module according to the invention and/or on another sanitary item with another QR code. The system according to the invention comprises the assembly module and/or the additional sanitary item as well as an intermediate database and an information storage database. The at least one QR code, in particular one of the QR codes provided on the assembly module or the further QR code, contains a clear reference to reference information stored in the intermediate database as information. This reference information contains a unique reference to a specific assembly information filed in the information storage database. In general, the invention also relates to a system for providing information about a sanitary article with a QR code provided on the sanitary article, also independently of the assembly module according to the invention. By providing an intermediate database and an information storage database, the QR code can contain dynamically changeable information that can be changed easily and in great detail without complicating the QR code. It should be pointed out here that a complicated design of a QR code, about which a larger and therefore also more complicated amount of information can be contained in a QR code, means that the readability of the QR code is more prone to errors. The inventors have recognized that through the realization of a sanitary item, in particular an assembly module, with a QR code and the provision of an intermediate database and an information storage database, in which the mentioned reference information or information about the sanitary item is contained, a structure is created that allows a manufacturer of the sanitary item in the information storage database to different Can store changeable, in particular correctable information about the sanitary article at times, while he has control over the reference via the intermediate database with which the QR code is linked to the corresponding information about the sanitary article. The QR code particularly preferably contains at least two pieces of information, each piece of information containing a different reference to a different piece of reference information stored in the intermediate database, which contains a clear reference to a different piece of assembly information stored in the information storage database. In addition or in addition, the reference information stored in the intermediate database can have multiple coding, which, depending on a coding parameter additionally transmitted with the transmission of the reference transmitted in the QR code, refers to assembly information stored in the information storage database and assigned to the respective coding parameter. The assembly information is just one example of any other information about the sanitary item. In the second alternative, which can be provided in addition to or as an alternative to the first alternative, reference information with multiple coding is thus stored in the intermediate database, to which the QR code clearly refers. When reading the QR code, depending on the software used to read the QR code or to send the reference, a coding parameter can also be transmitted, which makes a selection of the multiple coding, so that the correspondence of multiple coding and coding parameters the reference information specific information in the information storage database can be referred to depending on the coding parameter transmitted by the software with which the QR code was read and transmitted. The two alternatives mentioned bring with them the particular advantage that the provision of a single QR code allows different people to receive different information. For example, specialist personnel who are connected to the manufacturer of the assembly module can receive information about the assembly module that is not accessible to an installer, for example regarding batch number, serial number, etc. In the event of maintenance, the respective specialist personnel can thus receive additional information about the assembly module, if necessary .
