Abstract

The conventional tap is mounted to the washbasin using a special spacer ring (10) incorporating a proximity sensor (11) and sited above the washbasin. A second ring (4) below the washbasin has a feed for the connecting cable (8) for the sensor, to connect to the control unit (9) which feeds the hot- and cold water-flows to the mixer tap (1). The sensor is cast into the elastic ring and has a cut-out to take the connecting cable. This is laid alongside the threaded shaft (5) of the tap mounting. The mixer setting of the tap is preserved. ADVANTAGE - Simple retrofitting of conventional taps, can be used for domestic systems.

Description

Sanitärarmaturen welche durch einen eingebauten Näherungssensor über Magnet­ ventile die Wasserzufuhr berührungslos steuern, werden von verschiedenen firmen seit einigen Jahren hergestellt und vertrieben (siehe z. B. Offenlegungs­ schrift Nr. 26 29 794 oder Nr. 6 09 884/0686, beide Gruppe F16K31/02). Diese elektronisch gesteuerten Sanitärarmaturen, bestehen in der Regel aus einem speziellen Wasserhahn mit eingebautem Näherungssensor auf kapazitiver oder fotoelektrischer Basis.Sanitary fittings which by a built-in proximity sensor via magnet Valves control the water supply without contact, are different companies have been manufactured and sold for several years (see e.g. Disclosure No. 26 29 794 or No. 6 09 884/0686, both group F16K31 / 02). These Electronically controlled sanitary fittings usually consist of one special faucet with built-in proximity sensor on capacitive or photoelectric base.

Diese Sanitärarmaturen besitzen durch den eingebauten Sensor bedingt, ein weitgehend einheitliches Design. Ebenso ist eine individuelle Mischung von warmen und kalten Wasser, meist nicht möglich. Durch diese Umstände ist diese Energie und Wasser sparende Einrichtung, meist nur für öffentliche Einrichtungen, Hotels Autobahn-Raststätten, usw. geeignet.Due to the built-in sensor, these sanitary fittings have a largely uniform design. Also an individual mix of warm and cold water, mostly not possible. Because of these circumstances this energy and water saving device, mostly only for public Facilities, hotels, motorway service areas, etc. are suitable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Nachrüstmöglichkeit zur be­ rührungslosen Näherungssteuerung, aller bereits bestehender Sanitärarmaturen unter Beibehaltung derer Mischmöglichkeit und optischen Design zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to be a retrofit option contactless proximity control of all existing sanitary fittings while maintaining their mixing possibilities and optical design.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß eine sehr dünne Kun­ ststoffscheibe mit einem eingearbeiteten kapazitiven oder fotoelektrischen Näherungssensor zwischen Waschbecken und der Befestigungsfläche der Sanitär­ armatur, als Unterlagscheibe zusammen mit der Armatur verschraubt wird. Die dünne Sensorleitung wird zusammen mit dem Befestigungsgewinde der Sanitärar­ matur, geschützt durch eine spezielle Kabelschutzscheibe zur Unterseite des Waschbecken und von da zur Auswert- und Magnetventilelektronik geführt.This object is achieved in that a very thin Kun material disc with an integrated capacitive or photoelectric Proximity sensor between the sink and the mounting surface of the sanitary fitting, is screwed together with the fitting as a washer. The thin sensor cable together with the fastening thread of the sanitary matur, protected by a special cable protection screen to the bottom of the Wash basin and from there to the evaluation and solenoid valve electronics.

Die mit dieser Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen im wesentlichen in der preisgünstigen Umrüstmöglichkeit, praktisch aller bereits vorhandener oder handelsüblicher Sanitärarmaturen auf berührungslose Wasserzufuhrunterbrech­ ung unter Beibehaltung ihres optischen Design und ihrer Mischmöglichkeit. Dadurch wird ein Einsatz im privaten Wohnbereich besonders interessant.The advantages achieved with this invention consist essentially in the inexpensive retrofit option, practically all existing or commercially available sanitary fittings for non-contact water supply interruptions keeping their optical design and their mixing possibilities. This makes use in private living areas particularly interesting.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel wird in den beiliegenden Zeichnungen dargestellt und wie folgt beschrieben:An embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawings and described as follows:

Das Kabel (8) der Sen­ sorscheibe, wird entlang dem Befestigungsgewinde (5) der Sanitärarmatur über eine Kabelschutzscheibe (4) auf die Unterseite des Waschbecken und von dort zur Auswert-und Magnetventil- Elektronik (9) geführt, wo auch die Cu-Leitungen (7) für das warme- und kalte Wasser der Zuleitung und der Sani­ tärarmatur (1) angeschlossen werden.
As shown in the drawing Fig. 1, the complete retrofit unit of the non-contact controlled water supply interruption is composed as follows:
it shows ( 1 ) the existing commercial sanitary fitting, with its fastening thread ( 5 ) and fastening nut ( 6 ). The sensor disc ( 10 ) with built-in proximity sensor ( 11 ) is now installed between the sanitary fitting ( 1 ) and the washbasin duct ( 3 ). The cable ( 8 ) of the sensor disc is guided along the fastening thread ( 5 ) of the sanitary fitting via a cable protection disc ( 4 ) to the underside of the sink and from there to the evaluation and solenoid valve electronics ( 9 ), where the copper cables are also ( 7 ) for the hot and cold water of the supply line and the sanitary fitting ( 1 ) can be connected.
