Container through which a liquid flows

The invention relates to a device through which a liquid flows Container in the interior of which the liquid is filtered and / or enriched with chemical additives, especially for swimming pools, the container having an inlet port, an outlet port and an insertable one a metering valve ^ serving passage, which are each arranged in the lower container area.

Such containers are known as metering containers in which the passage provided in the container wall a metering valve is inserted. That part of the liquid that contains the chemical additives flows through this comes into contact. The latter are located in the interior of the container located above. This interior has on its bottom an outlet through which the liquid enriched with the chemical additives exits and the rest Liquid is added, which flows directly through the container from the inlet port to the outlet port.

Containers of the type mentioned are also called Filter container formed. In the interior of the same there is a filter material on which the flow through the container Liquid is bypassed as a whole before it emerges again through the outlet port.

So far, different designs have been used for both types of container. The manufacture and also the Storage of different types of containers lead to a correspondingly high technical and economic level Expenditure. Converting a container from one type of use to the other is technically sensible and not possible with economic means.

Proceeding from this, the invention was based on the object of creating a container that can optionally be used as a filter container or can be used as a dosing container.

To solve this problem it is proposed according to the invention that that there is a partition between the lower region of the container and the interior of the container located above it and that the partition wall with the passage openings required both for the metering operation and for the filter operation is provided in such a way that the passage openings not required for the respective operating mode are closed or are at least lockable.

The invention has recognized that only the partition wall has to be designed to be adaptable for each of the two operating modes, while the construction of the container can otherwise remain unchanged * Eb is therefore a single type of container for both

Sufficient functions, and it is also possible to convert from one function to the other without difficulty is.

Thus, in at least some of the passage openings, the passage cross section can be formed by surface parts which are limited by predetermined breaking lines. Depending on your needs, you can then break out the surface parts Passage openings are exposed, which are required for the respective operating mode.

Alternatively, however, it is also according to the invention It is conceivable that at least the substantial part of the partition is formed by an inserted base plate. In this In this case, the partition does not form an integral part of the container, but represents a separate component. This can facilitate production, in particular if the individual passage openings are initially closed and the corresponding surface parts by Csll break lines are limited so that they can be broken out as needed.

By using a separate base plate, however, there is also the possibility of adapting to the respective type of operation with a uniform container type by using different base plates.

Thus, in a further embodiment of the invention for the metering operation a base plate can be provided, which protrudes downwards and can be connected to the housing of the metering valve in a sealing manner Has connecting stubs and a passage opening into which a riser pipe arranged in the interior of the container flows out.

The to be enriched with chemical additives is via the connecting piece Liquid introduced into the interior of the container. A drainage of the liquid is only possible if a predetermined liquid level in the interior of the container is reached by the riser pipe. The liquid flows through the riser pipe back to the lower part of the container. Of particular advantage here is the fact that the solution of the entire entered Chemical quantity is guaranteed before it is added to the water. Among other things, this also reduces the disadvantageous formation of Encrustations of the respective chemical are prevented with certainty, so that it remains fully effective.

In this context, it is further proposed that part of the partition has an upwardly projecting pipe socket which penetrates a passage opening in the base plate and into which the riser pipe can be inserted. There is therefore a partition wall part still belonging to the container itself in the edge area, while the base plate covers the central base part. In such an embodiment, the cross section of the pipe socket can initially be closed with a surface part delimited by a predetermined breaking line in the event that this opening is not required during filter operation.

According to the invention, the riser pipe can completely cover the pipe socket pass through and protrude a little into the lower container area. It is favorable here if the mouth of the riser pipe is beveled at the lower end so that it points in the same direction in which the remaining portion of the liquid flows out.

In connection with the training for the metering operation, it is further proposed according to the invention that the in The passage located on the container wall is designed as a border into which the metering valve is positioned horizontally Can be pushed in the direction that the valve housing has an upwardly directed connection opening which is free after insertion and that the downwardly projecting connection piece provided on the base plate is inserted into the connection opening is pluggable.

In this way it is achieved that the connection between the metering valve and the »interior of the container through the Insertion of the base plate arises automatically.

The configurations described below relate to a base plate for filter operation. This bottom plate is advantageously designed so that it is a downward, directly to the connection piece of the container

having connectable pipe section. The liquid supplied through the connection piece of the container thus arrives directly into the interior of the container, while the pipe section has an annular space in the area below the base plate limited, which is in communication with the outlet and in the liquid again after flowing past the filter entry. It is advantageous in this context if the connecting piece opens approximately centrally into the lower container area and if this opening with the lower end of the Pipe section forms a plug connection. In this way, the connection with the connecting piece when inserting the base plate can be made directly, it may be useful in the area of the connector To arrange ring seal.

It is also advantageous according to the invention if the base plate has through openings serving as an outlet for the filtered liquid with upwardly protruding ring lugs, onto each of which the lower end of a filter cartridge can be attached. Such cartridges are used for filtering purposes used many times. The filter material is contained in the cartridge. In general, the liquid flows through the a correspondingly permeable cartridge jacket into the cartridge, while ^ the ends of the cartridge are intended for the outlet! are.

In connection with the container designed according to the invention, it is therefore advantageous if the interior of the container is closed by a cover plate which has sealing plugs protruding downward and engaging the upper ends of the filter cartridge.

This ensures that the liquid does not escape upwards out of the filter cartridge and into the still unfiltered one Liquid can get back in the interior of the container. However, the sealing plug does more than just seal it the filter cartridge, but it also serves to hold the same in its upper area, since it is over the cover plate is in communication with the container.

It is useful if a container lid presses the cover plate down when the container is closed. Through this the required sealing pressure can be applied, especially in the case of a conical shape of the sealing plug.

In addition, the filter cartridges can be exchanged very easily due to the proposed design of their holder. After removing the cover plate, you only need to pull it upwards from the ring lugs on the base plate.

13 -

In addition, several, with upwardly protruding ring approaches provided through openings in the base plate and several sealing plugs on the cover plate in a circular and be provided around the circumference of this circle of uniform arrangement.

The metering valve is not required for filter operation. It can interfere with filter operation if the connection of the interior with the connecting piece is carried out through a central, downwardly projecting piece of pipe on the base plate. In this case, according to the invention, the enclosure provided for inserting the metering valve can be used as an outlet connection to serve.

There are thus several possibilities, because as an alternative to this one can use the outlet nozzle that is otherwise used in dosing mode Connect at the same time so that the filtered '' liquid is directed to two different points of use can be. Or the outlet connection provided for the dosing operation is closed when the filter is in operation. Here can the passage cross-section of the outlet connection provided for the dosing operation during the manufacture of the container initially be closed by a surface part delimited by a predetermined breaking line, so that a subsequent closure this outlet connection is not required if it is not required for the respective application.

While the partition 16 is an approximately circular component of the container 1o, the base plate 17 is a special structural part that rests on the partition 16.

The container 1o is at the top by a screw-on lid closed and has a vent 19 in the middle and a central ring edge 2o, whose function later is explained in more detail.

As can be seen in FIG. 1, the one used for the metering operation has Br'an plate 17 has a downwardly projecting connection piece 21 which is inserted into a correspondingly dimensioned recess of the Housing 22 of the metering valve 15 is inserted sealingly. The metering valve 15 has on its protruding to about the middle Tip a downward inlet port 23. A Closing cone 24 can be changed in its position from the outside by actuating an adjusting wheel 25 so that the metering valve 15 is either completely closed or releases a passage cross-section of a certain size.

The base plate 17 also has a passage opening 26 which surrounds an upwardly projecting pipe socket 27 of the partition 16. In the pipe socket 27, a riser pipe is plugged 28, the bin downwardly projects into the outlet nozzle 13 and is chamfered at its mouth, this has soäaß in the AusstrtJmrichtung and exiting from it

Liquid from the liquid stream that flows directly from the Inlet stub 12 flows to outlet stub 13, can be taken along.

For the filter operation it is sufficient if the base plate 17 is only loosely placed on the partition 16. The support can be further improved by the weight of the filter material carried by the base plate 17.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a base plate 29 has a downwardly directed pipe section 3o which is inserted into the mouth of the inlet connection 22. The seal with respect to an annular space 31 surrounding the pipe section 3o takes place with the aid of an annular seal 32. Liquid can pass directly into the interior space 11 of the container 1o through the pipe section 3o. A plurality of filter cartridges 33 are arranged there, each of which is plugged with its lower end onto an upwardly projecting ring extension 34 of the base plate 29. In a corresponding vertical orientation, sealing plugs 36 of strange shape are provided on a cover plate 35, which protrude into the upper end of the filter cartridges 33 and close them and at the same time also hold them. When the lid 18 is screwed onto the container 1o, the annular edge 2o of the lid 18 presses onto the cover plate 35 so that the sealing plugs 36 are always held in the filter cartridges 33 with a certain pressure.

The one emerging at the lower end of the pilter cartridges 33 Liquid reaches the annular space 31 through the clear inner cross-section of the ring projections 34 in the base plate 29. From there, the liquid can exit through the enclosure, into which otherwise the metering valve would otherwise be used 15 is inserted.

The container 1o can also be used in its manufacture on Outlet stub 13 is a plate part that acts as a closure 37 have, which is limited by a predetermined breaking line and which can be broken out quickly and easily if necessary can. It is then possible to use the outlet nozzle 13 as the second To use outlet nozzle and to feed the filtered liquid to another point of consumption. Of course you can also use only the outlet connection 13 and close the cross-section of the enclosure 14.

For the filter operation, it is advisable to glue the base plate to the partition 16.

Alternatively, the container 1o can also be designed so that the partition 16 does not extend circumferentially over the entire outer ring area of the container cross-section, but only in a partial area of the circumference, in particular only in the area of the enclosure 14 and the outlet nozzle
