Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sanitary water connection arrangement according to the preamble of independent patent claim 1.
  • This conventional assembly is opposed to the so-called chaotic assembly, in which it is not possible, for example due to structural reasons, to supply the supply lines for hot and cold water in an orderly manner, or in old buildings in which the connections have to be arranged in an orderly manner due to the old separate taps. Therefore, an adjustment or even change should be possible.
  • the connector itself is designed only for an end connection of the two water pipes and is not intended for the passage of two water pipes.
  • this connection piece shows a central connection which communicates with the one water line and a ring channel which leads around it and which communicates with the other water line. This ensures that the valve is in position.
  • a disadvantage of the proposed solution is that the position of the fitting can only be corrected via the thread, so that only a very specific type of fitting can be used.
  • the correction of the thickness of the plaster can also only be corrected by screwing it in more or less deeply, which is difficult with such diameters of the screw parts.
  • no filter or backflow preventer or other additional elements can be installed with such an arrangement.
  • connection housing 1 with the connection part 10 and the cylindrical base part 11 can be clearly seen. 2 shows the top view of this connection housing 1.
  • connection pieces 12, 12 'and 13, 13' are arranged parallel to one another in the connecting part 10.
  • the connecting pieces 12, 12 'on the one hand and 13, 13' on the other hand form two separate pipe connections.
  • a branch line 14, 15 is branched off from each of these pipe connections, the axes of which are arranged perpendicular to the plane of the pipe connection and parallel to the axis of the cylindrical base part 11.
  • any known single or multi-lever mixer can be used as a fitting.
  • the two ceramic control disks 28, 29 have been shown, of which the control disk 28 is connected in a rotationally and displaceably fixed manner with a connecting piece 27.
  • the control disk 28 lies on a stationary disk 29 and, with its movement, releases the openings 29a, 29b in order to guide a certain amount of water with a desired mixing temperature to an outlet opening 29c located behind the cutting plane.
  • nipples 3, 3 ' are provided, which are screwed into the base part 11 of the connection housing 1, as shown in the cut right half of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 For the rigid connection between the valve body 21 and the base part 11, two different embodiments are shown in FIG. 1.
  • a union nut 16a is captively held on the base part 11 by means of a threaded ring 17.
  • the union nut 16a At its other end, the union nut 16a carries a thread with which it is screwed onto the housing of the fitting 2.
  • the stop for the screw-in depth of the union nut 16a is given by the length of the nipples 3, 3 ', which engage with their cylindrical pins 32 in an insertion opening and abut there.
  • the nipples 3, 3 have an external thread over the remaining part of their length, which is divided into four sections 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d. Between each two sections there is a groove 34a, 34b and 35.
  • the two grooves 34a, 34b serve to receive a sealing ring 36 and the groove 35 is a mark for the specific shortening of the nipple when the connection housing 1 is inserted a little deep into the wall is.
  • the thickness of the wall covering or covering can vary within wide limits and the fitting is nevertheless always exactly the same distance from the wall surface.
  • nipples for connecting a flush-mounted connection piece to a fitting have become known. Only the nipples on the acquaintance have a bead with which a support plate is pulled up to the wall. The fitting is attached to the support plate using a union nut. As a result, the nipples are permanently loaded and could therefore change structurally. In contrast, the nipples according to the present invention only serve to adjust the fitting to the distance. The frictional connection takes place between the housing of the valve and the connection housing.
  • connection housing 1 can be encased with a plastic protective sleeve 18, which can be designed in a known manner as a cap in order to keep the space necessary for the attachment of the valve in order to be cut off after pouring in.
  • the second embodiment for the union nut 16b is shown on the right in FIG. 1.
  • the only sub Different from the first embodiment described above is that it is not held with a threaded ring on the connection housing 1, but with a second thread. If the upper thread 16c has a smaller pitch than the lower thread 16d, for example 2 mm and 1.5 mm, the fitting 2 can be brought to a stop between the sleeves 30 and the pin 32 as long as the union nut 16b is still screwed onto it is.
  • Fig. 3 shows in principle the same arrangement as Fig. 1 and 2. Because it is a requirement in some countries to install non-return valves in the fittings, they can only be installed in conventional installation if the fitting is extended accordingly. Backflow preventers are well known devices. The drawing was therefore omitted and only the cavities 42, 43 required for this purpose were drawn in the two separately guided feed lines 40, 41.
  • a so-called battery piece was provided in the valve connection element known from EP-B-119 960, to which the disordered supply lines are arranged offset in the axial direction with respect to one another.
  • the fitting engages in the hole in the battery piece. If two parallel circumferential grooves, each communicating with an inflow line, are provided in the fitting or in the battery piece, the fitting can be used in any rotational position with respect to the battery piece.
  • the part of the fitting which is immersed in the bore must be separated from the latter in order to enable the plug to be changed.
  • the plug-in part with its axial bores is very expensive to manufacture, so that it can hardly arouse a great deal of interest in new installation technology.
  • This distributor 4 is thus provided with plug-in sockets 30, 30 'for the nipples 3, 3', which also form the stops for the insertion depth. From the outside, the distributor 4 consists of a base cylinder 53 and an insert cylinder 54 for the connection to the fitting 2, which will be discussed later.
  • the two cylinders 53, 54 differ in diameter, the base cylinder 53 having a substantially larger diameter than the insertion cylinder 54.
  • the passages within the distributor 4 are simple axial bores, of which the one passage 59 opens into the shoulder surface 55, as the top surface of the base cylinder 53, as an opening 59b and is designed as an axially parallel bore between the corresponding plug-in socket 30, 30 'and this opening, and the other passage 58 is composed of two bores 58a, 58b, of which the one in the base part 53 is eccentric but axially parallel and the one in the insertion cylinder 54 is coaxial and at least partially overlaps and forms a free passage.
  • inlet openings 29a, 29b of the fitting 2 are arranged off-center at practically the same center distance, an adjustment is still required for the water supply. This can be accomplished in a very simple manner by means of a connection plate 22 in the housing 21 ′ of the fitting 2.
  • a channel 62 is formed around the insertion cylinder 54, so that the fitting 2 is connected to the two connecting pipes 12, 13 of the connecting part 10 in every rotational position.
  • the attachment of the housing 21 of the fitting to the base part 11 of the connection housing can be provided in the same way as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 described above.
  • no backflow preventers are provided.
  • these can be installed in the simplest manner according to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5 in the distributor 4, which is lengthened by the additional length of the two cavities 58c, 59c.
  • the housing 21 of the fitting 2 must of course also be extended by the same amount.
  • the remaining parts such as the connector housing 1, nipple 3, 3 'and fitting 2 are the same as in the exemplary embodiments described above.
  • connection housing 1 with the connection part 10 and a cylindrical housing part 11 can be seen in the arrangement according to FIG. 6.
  • two pairs of connecting pieces 12, 12 'and 13, 13' are again arranged in a parallel position to one another.
  • An eccentric, axially parallel bore is arranged above the pair 12, 12 ', which leads into the connection connecting piece penetrates and thus forms a stub 15.
  • a central bore 117 which has a radius which corresponds to the distance between the axis of the housing part 11 and the outermost peripheral point of the stub 15, or, as shown in FIG. 6, is somewhat larger than this distance. From the bottom 119 of this central bore 117, a blind hole 14 is drilled between the two pairs of connecting pieces 12, 12 ', 13, 13', which breaks through the wall of the second pair of connecting pieces 13, 13 'and thus generates a radial branch line.
  • a cylindrical recess 116 is formed centrally in the bottom 119 in the central bore 117 and is located above the blind hole 14 and serves as a seat for a pipe section 105.
  • a union nut 129 is caught with a threaded ring 118 on the connection housing 1 and is screwed onto a thread 128 on the housing 21, so that the housing 21 and the connection housing 1 can be rigidly connected to one another.
  • the distributor 4 engages in the cylindrical recess 116 in the connection part 10 of the connection housing 1 on the one hand and in the bore 123 in the housing 21 on the other hand.
  • a radial flange 142 seals against the wall of the central bore 122 of the housing 21 and divides the annular channel in FIG. 6 into an annular channel 143 in the connection housing 1 and an annular channel 144 in the housing 21.
  • Axial parallel lines 145, 146 and radial openings 147, 148 connect the two ring channels 143, 144 to the respective connection piece 140, 141 located at the opposite end of the distributor 4.
  • the connection paths according to FIG. 6 are thus interchanged.
  • connection housing 1 Since a union nut 129 caught on the connection housing must naturally also be provided here for fastening the fitting 2 to the connection housing 1 in order to hold the two parts, the pipe section 105 or the distributor 4 interchangeably, it is not possible to adjust the distance from the wall surface without additional means be made possible.
  • FIG. 8 Such an arrangement for setting both conventional precise installation and chaotic installation with an adjustment of the wall distance is shown in FIG. 8. Although only the version with a distributor is shown here, this distributor could of course also be replaced by a pipe section according to FIG. 6. 6 and 7 relate to an extension of the cylindrical recess 116 in FIGS. 6 and 7, an extension of the lower connection piece of the distributor 4 and an extension of the wall of the wall which engages in the central bore 117 in the connection housing 1 Housing 21. With such an arrangement, if the distributor 4 with its upper connection piece is rigidly inserted into the bore 123, the armature 2 can be axially displaced with respect to the connection housing 1.
  • spacer rings 132, 133 are provided between a rib 130 on the housing 21 and a radial flange 131 on the connection housing 1.
  • connection part 10 is again provided with four pipe sockets 12, 12 ', 13, 13', which are arranged in pairs parallel to one another. Above these nozzles there is a cylindrical base part 11 with an axial main bore 218.
  • connection nozzles 13, 13 ' is open to the main bore 218 with a first spur line 15.
  • the other connecting piece pair 12, 12 ' is cut with a second stub 14, so that there is a passage 19 in the radial direction into the main bore 218.
  • a cylindrical distributor 4 is rotatably inserted into the main bore 218.
  • This distributor 4 has a pierced pin 221 which is sealingly inserted into the second stub 14.
  • a surface 223 set back with respect to the end edge 222 of the pin 221 forms together with the base 217 of the main bore 218 an annular channel 224 leading around the pin 221.
  • An axially parallel first passage 225 in the distributor 4 communicates with the first stub 15 in the connecting part 11 and a second passage 226 diametrically opposite this stub 15 communicates with a coaxial bore 227 in the pin 221 via a connection 226 '.
  • An axial bore 228 is located centrally between the mouths of the passages 225, 226.
  • the distributor 4 is held in the housing part 11 by means of a holding plate 229.
