Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wasserdruckstrahlreiniger nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a water pressure jet cleaner according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger Wasserdruckstrahlreiniger ist beispielsweise aus der US-A- 3 937 404 bekanntgeworden, der einen an einem Wasserhahn anschließbaren Schlauch umfaßt, der in einen Ausguß bzw. Siphon hineingeführt werden kann.Such a water pressure jet cleaner has become known, for example, from US Pat. No. 3,937,404, which comprises a hose which can be connected to a water tap and which can be introduced into a spout or siphon.

Zur Abdichtung umfaßt dieser Druckstrahlreiniger ein elastisches Glied, durch das hindurch der Wasserschlauch axial verschiebbar geführt ist. Am unteren Ende ist ein Reinigerkopf mit mehreren seitlich angebrachten Austrittsöffnungen angeordnet, über die das eingeführte Druckwasser schräg zum Reinigerkopf austritt,To seal this pressure jet cleaner comprises an elastic member through which the water hose is guided axially. At the lower end there is a cleaner head with several outlet openings on the side, through which the pressurized water enters at an angle to the head

Dieser Wasserdruckstrahlreiniger weist aber mehrere Nachteile auf. Wie nämlich aus der genannten US-PS ersichtlich ist, ist der Außenumfang des Reinigerkopfes nur unwesentlich geringer als die Einführöffnung des Ausgusses. Von daher ist ein Einsatz dieses Reinigerkopfes in fast allen Anwendungsfällen nicht möglich, da in der Regel die Ausgüsse mit Ausgußsieben versehen sind. Diese weisen beispielsweise in der Regel ein Achsenkreuz oder mehrere kleine kreisförmig und zentral angeordnete runde Austrittsöffnungen auf. In all diesen Fällen, wo also der Ausguß irgendwie geartete Ausgußsiebe aufweist, ist dieser vorbekannte Reinigerkopf nicht einsetzbar.This water pressure jet cleaner has several disadvantages. As can be seen from the aforementioned US-PS, the outer circumference of the cleaning head is only insignificantly smaller than the inlet opening of the spout. It is therefore not possible to use this cleaning head in almost all applications, since the spouts are usually provided with spout screens. These generally have, for example, an axis cross or several small circular and centrally arranged round outlet openings. In all these cases, where the spout has any kind of spout sieves, this previously known cleaning head cannot be used.

Aber auch bei den verbleibenden Fällen, wo ein Ausguß vielleicht nicht mit einem Ausgußsieb versehen ist, läßt sich mit diesem der gewünschte Reinigungseffekt nicht im ausreichenden Maße erzielen. In der Regel nämlich ergeben sich Verstopfungen in einem Ausguß dadurch, daß sich insbesondere abkühlendes Fett an den Wandungen absetzt und Schwebstoffe sich daran anlagern. Dieser Prozeß hält an, bis die zum Teil auch noch absinkenden Schwebstoffe zusätzlich vom Boden her langsam die Bogenöffnung eines Siphons verschließen. Bei der im absteigenden Siphonrohr sich zunächst noch mit niedriger Dichte ausbildenden Sumpfschicht setzen sich weitere Teilchen, Schwebstoffe und Fett ab, bis die Ablagerungen so dicht werden, daß das Wasser überhaupt nicht mehr abzulaufen vermag. Führt man den vorbekannten Reinigerkopf in das absteigende Siphonrohr bis zur Verstopfung ein, so kann dieser in die Sumpfschicht selbst aufgrund seiner großförmigen Ausbildung nicht eindringen. Ferner entsteht sogar beim Öffnen des Wasserhahnes und, sofern der Abdichtpfropfen am Ausguß leicht gelockert wird, so daß das über den Reinigerkopf ausgeströmte Wasser bis in das Becken aufsteigt, ein nicht unbeachtlicher Rückstoßeffekt, der den Reinigerkopf aufgrund des elastischen Schlauches von der Verstopfung weg nach oben führt. Ähnlich wie bei einem Gartenschlauch, den man weit von seinem Ende hält, führt also das Schlauchende unkontrollierte Bewegungen aus.But even in the remaining cases, where a spout may not be provided with a spout screen, the desired cleaning effect cannot be achieved to a sufficient extent. As a rule, blockages in a spout result from the fact that cooling grease in particular settles on the walls and suspended matter accumulates on it. This process continues until the suspended particles, some of which also sink, also slowly close the arch opening of a siphon from the bottom. In the bottom layer, which initially forms with a low density in the descending siphon tube, further particles, suspended matter and fat settle until the deposits become so dense that the water is no longer able to run off. If the known cleaning head is inserted into the descending siphon pipe until it becomes blocked, it cannot penetrate into the sump layer itself due to its large size. Furthermore, even when the tap is opened and if the sealing plug on the spout is loosened slightly so that the water flowing out through the cleaning head rises up into the basin, a not inconsiderable recoil effect occurs, which, due to the elastic hose, removes the cleaning head from the blockage leads. Similar to a garden hose that is held far from its end, the end of the hose carries out uncontrolled movements.

Eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen von Küchenausgüssen ist auch aus der DE-C 89 519 bekanntgeworden, wobei hier ein starres Rohr mit einer unteren Austrittsöffnung verwendet wird. Der Einsatz bei Ausgußsieben ist aber auch hier aus den gleichen Gründen wegen des großen Durchmessers des Wasseraustrittsrohres nicht möglich. Zudem ist eine Vertikalverstellung durch das einschraubbare Rohr nur in geringen Abmessungen verwirklichbar.A device for cleaning kitchen sinks has also become known from DE-C 89 519, a rigid tube with a lower outlet opening being used here. The use with pouring sieves is also not possible for the same reasons because of the large diameter of the water outlet pipe. In addition, vertical adjustment by the screw-in tube can only be achieved in small dimensions.

Demgegenüber ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Wasserdruckstrahlreiniger zu schaffen, mit dem auf einfachste Weise bei leichter Handhabung schnell verstopfte, auch gegebenenfalls mit einem Abflußsieb versehene Ausgüsse von der Verstopfung befreit werden können. Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß entsprechend den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.In contrast, it is an object of the present invention to provide a water pressure jet cleaner which can be used to remove blockages quickly and easily in the simplest manner, with easy handling, and possibly with a drain strainer. The object is achieved according to the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Durch die vorliegende Erfindung wird ein wesentlicher technischer Fortschritt erzielt. Vor allem läßt sich der erfindungsgemäße Wasserdruckstrahlreiniger auch bei Abflüssen verwenden, die ein Abflußsieb enthalten. Dies gilt praktisch in der Regel für alle bisher bekanntgewordenen Abflußsiebe, da diese zumindest mehrere kreisförmige Öffnungen umfassen. Dazu ist aber eben ferner notwendig, daß der Reinigerkopf selbst oberhalb des Ausgußsiebes mit dem Abdichtstück angeordnet wird und selbst nicht bis unter das Ausgußsieb hineingeführt werden muß.A significant technical advance is achieved by the present invention. Above all, the water pressure jet cleaner according to the invention can also be used for drains which contain a drain strainer. In practice, this generally applies to all drain screens that have become known since they comprise at least several circular openings. For this purpose, however, it is also necessary that the cleaning head itself is arranged above the pouring sieve with the sealing piece and does not itself have to be inserted under the pouring sieve.

Durch die in weiten Grenzen gewährleistete axiale Höhenverstellung der Wasseraustrittsrohre und deren relativ geringen Durchmesser wird ferner gewährleistet, daß diese bis in den die Verstopfung bewirkenden Sumpf hineingesteckt werden können. Dadurch läßt sich eine optimale Aufwirbelung vor allem der oberen Schichten der Verstopfungen gewährleisten.The axial height adjustment of the water outlet pipes and their relatively small diameter, which is ensured within wide limits, also ensures that these can be inserted into the sump causing the blockage. This ensures optimal swirling, especially of the upper layers of the blockages.

Ein weiterer Vorteil wird durch die Teilelastizität der Wasseraustrittsrohre gewährleistet. Entsprechend den Formen der Ausgußsiebe können dabei die Wasseraustrittsrohre in gewissen Grenzen verbogen und durch das Ausgußsieb hindurch geführt werden. Vor allem wird keine unkontrollierte Rückstoßbewegung erzeugt, da durch die Teilelastizität das feste Einstecken der Austrittsenden der Wasseraustrittsrohre in den Sumpf immer noch gewährleistet wird. Letztendlich wird das Einstecken der Enden der Wasseraustrittsrohre in den Sumpf im Siphon durch die abgeschrägten Austrittsöffnungen noch erleichtert.Another advantage is guaranteed by the partial elasticity of the water outlet pipes. Depending on the shape of the pouring sieves, the water outlet pipes can be bent within certain limits and guided through the pouring sieve. Above all, no uncontrolled recoil movement is generated, since the partial elasticity still ensures that the outlet ends of the water outlet pipes are firmly inserted into the sump. Ultimately, the slanted outlet openings make it easier to insert the ends of the water outlet pipes into the sump in the siphon.

  • Figure 3: a sectional view of the cleaning head.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Wasserdruckstrahlreiniger 1 im Einsatz in einem Waschbecken 3 mit einem Ausguß 5 gezeigt, in dem eine Verstopfung gelöst werden soll. Der Wasserdruckstrahlreiniger 1 wird dabei mit seinem Anschlußstutzen 7 an einem Wasserhahn 9 angeschlossen. Aus dem Reinigerkopf 13 ragen mehrere, im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel 6 Wasseraustrittsrohre 15, die in den Ausguß 5 entsprechend eingeführt werden. Da die Wasseraustrittsrohre 15 elastisch oder zumindestteilweise elastisch sind, womit durch seitliches Versetzen der Radius verändert werden kann, können diese durch beliebig ausgebildete Ausgußsiebe hindurch geführt werden, sodaß sich hierdurch das Ablaufsieb überbrücken läßt. Dabei werden die teilelastischen Wasseraustrittsrohre jeweils nach außen oder leicht nach innen gebogen, wodurch die jeweilige Anpassung an ein Durchlaufsieb erfolgt. Die Zahl, die Länge und der Durchmesser der Wasseraustrittsrohre 15 kann je nach Bedarf variieren. Ein gebräuchlicher Durchmesser kann beispielsweise bei 6 mm liegen. Durch diese Anordnung kann der Wasserdruck ungehindert ohne Minderung in dem Ausgußbereich einwirken.In Fig. 1, a water pressure jet cleaner 1 is shown in use in a sink 3 with a spout 5, in which a blockage is to be solved. The water pressure jet cleaner 1 is connected with its connecting piece 7 to a tap 9. A plurality of 6 water outlet pipes 15 protrude from the cleaning head 13, which are shown in the exemplary embodiment shown, and are correspondingly introduced into the spout 5. Since the water outlet pipes 15 are elastic or at least partially elastic, which means that the radius can be changed by lateral displacement, these can be passed through any pouring sieves, so that the drain sieve can thereby be bridged. The partially elastic water outlet pipes are each bent outwards or slightly inwards, which means that they are adapted to a continuous sieve. The number, the length and the diameter of the water outlet pipes 15 can vary as required. A common diameter can be 6 mm, for example. With this arrangement, the water pressure can act unhindered without reduction in the pouring area.

Im folgenden wird auf die Fig. 2a und 3 bezug genommen, in der der Reinigerkopf 13 im Schnitt gezeigt ist.In the following, reference is made to FIGS. 2a and 3, in which the cleaning head 13 is shown in section.

Der Reinigerkopf 13 besteht dabei im wesentlichen aus einem trichterförmigen Gehäuse 19, dessen oberes Einflußende mit dem Verbindungsschlauch 9 festverbunden ist. Die Ausbildung kann einstückig sein. Möglich ist aber auch, daß der Verbindungsschlauch 9 aufgesteckt wird und beispielsweise mit Klemmen festverbunden wird. Gegenüberliegend ist ein Halteblock 21 mit mehreren Paßbohrungen 23 angeordnet, durch die die Wassereintrittsrohre 15 hindurchragen. Dabei kann die Ausbildung derart sein, daß die Wasseraustrittsrohre 15 durch diese Bohrungen hindurchgeschoben werden können, um die außen überstehende Länge der Wasseraustrittsrohre zu variieren. Am unteren Ende sind die Wasseraustrittsrohre 15 angeschrägt. Die Anordnung der teilelastischen Wasseraustrittsrohre 15 beispielsweise in Form von Kunststoffröhrchen erfolgt kreisförmig, wobei die Größe des Halteblockes 21 beispielsweise einen Durchmesser von 36 mm und 25 mm Höhe aufweisen kann. Die Austrittsröhrchen selbst können zwischen z. B. 4-20 cm und länger sein.The cleaner head 13 consists essentially of a funnel-shaped housing 19, the upper influential end of which is firmly connected to the connecting hose 9. The training can be in one piece. However, it is also possible for the connecting hose 9 to be plugged on and for example to be firmly connected with clamps. Opposite is a holding block 21 with a plurality of fitting bores 23 through which the water inlet pipes 15 protrude. The design can be such that the water outlet pipes 15 can be pushed through these bores in order to vary the length of the water outlet pipes which projects beyond the outside. At the lower end, the water outlet pipes 15 are chamfered. The partially elastic water outlet pipes 15, for example in the form of plastic tubes, are arranged in a circle, the size of the holding block 21 being for example 36 mm in diameter and 25 mm in height. The outlet tube itself can between z. B. 4-20 cm and longer.

Zusätzlich ist noch die Dichtplatte 17 vorgesehen, durch die die Wasseraustrittsrohre 15 ebenfalls hindurchragen. Diese Dichtplatte 17 besteht vorzugsweise aus einem elastomeren Werkstoff, beispielsweise Abdichtgummi, um hierdurch das rückströmende Wasser aus dem Abfluß 5 abzudichten. Die Dichtplatte 17 kann dabei erheblich dicker sein als in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiol.In addition, the sealing plate 17 is also provided, through which the water outlet pipes 15 also protrude. This sealing plate 17 preferably consists of an elastomeric material, for example sealing rubber, in order to thereby seal the back-flowing water from the drain 5. The sealing plate 17 can be considerably thicker than in the exemplary embodiment shown.

Zusätzlich kann zwischen dem Reinigerkopf und der Dichtplatte noch eine zusätzliche Unterlagsplatte 18 vorgesehen sein, über die die Dichtplatte 17 auf den Abguß 5 gedrückt werden kann. Möglich ist aber auch, daß der Reinigerkopf 13 selbst gemeinsam mit der daran angrenzenden Dichtplatte 17 auf den Abfluß 5 gedrückt wird.In addition, an additional base plate 18 can be provided between the cleaner head and the sealing plate, via which the sealing plate 17 can be pressed onto the casting 5. It is also possible, however, that the cleaning head 13 itself is pressed onto the drain 5 together with the sealing plate 17 adjoining it.

Im folgenden wird auf die Figuren 2b und 4-6 bezug genommen, in denen u. a. der Anscblußstutzen 7 gezeigt ist. Dieser besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Art Isolierschlauch z.B. Insul Schaumgummi oder Moosgummi o. Ä., dessen Konsistenz im wesentlichen gummischaumartig ist und somit eine gute Elastizität und Festigkeit aufweist. Von daher läßt sich dieser Anschlußstutzon 7 auf die verschiedensten Wasserhähne aufziehen, ohne daß eine unterschiedliche Anpassung der Anschlußstutzen an den jeweiligen Wasserhahn vorgenommen werden muß. Der Verbindungsschlauch 9 kann dabei an dem Anschlußstutzen 7 beispielsweise einfach eingesteckt werden oder aber auch noch zusätzlich mit nicht näher gezeigten Schlauchklemmen befestigt werden. Um die Festigkeit der gesamten Anordnung zu erhöhen, kann zusätzlich noch eine Außenhaut 25 in Form eines aufgezogenen Gummischlauches vorgesehen sein.In the following, reference is made to FIGS. 2b and 4-6, in which u. a. the connecting piece 7 is shown. This essentially consists of a kind of insulating hose e.g. Insul foam rubber or foam rubber or the like, the consistency of which is essentially rubber foam-like and thus has good elasticity and strength. Therefore, this connecting piece 7 can be pulled onto a wide variety of taps without having to make a different adaptation of the connecting piece to the respective tap. The connecting hose 9 can be simply plugged into the connecting piece 7, for example, or can also be additionally fastened with hose clips, not shown in any more detail. In order to increase the strength of the entire arrangement, an outer skin 25 in the form of a rubber tube can also be provided.

Die Befestigung des Anschlußstutzens 7 an dem Wasserhahn 9 erfolgt in dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2b mittels einer Klemmeinrichtung, die in Form einer Klemmanschette 27 ausgebildet ist.The connection piece 7 is fastened to the water tap 9 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2 b by means of a clamping device which is designed in the form of a clamping collar 27.

An beiden Enden der Klemmanscbette 27 sind dabei nur schematisch gezeigte Abwinkelungen 29a und 29b vorgesehen, durch die eine Schraube 31 greift. Da in der Abwinkelung 29b ein innenliegendes Gewinde eingebracht ist, wird beim Drehen der Schraube 31 die Manschette entsprechend zusammengezogen oder auseinandergedrückt, sodaß dadurch eine dichte Befestigung des Anschlußstutzens am Wasserhahn erfolgen kann.At both ends of the clamping collar 27 there are only bends 29a and 29b shown schematically, through which a screw 31 engages. Since an internal thread is introduced into the bend 29b, the sleeve is correspondingly contracted or pushed apart when the screw 31 is turned, so that the connection piece can be tightly attached to the tap.
