Definitions

  • the invention relates to a whirlpool tub or the like.
  • Sanitary tub with a drainage device and with a piping system intended for supplying at least one nozzle with air and / or water, which is connected to the outflow opening of the tub via a connection valve and a pipe section, which pipe section on the other hand is connected to the drain line via a drain valve.
  • the object of the present invention is to reliably counteract the possibility of contamination of the bathing water by bacteria from the outset.
  • a whirlpool tub of the type mentioned at the outset in that the drain valve is arranged at the upper end of a standpipe opening into the drain line in the region of the outlet opening of the tub bottom, in that the standpipe is arranged in a chamber from which the pipe section branches off, and that the outlet opening of the trough bottom opens into the chamber apart from the drain valve.
  • the standpipe can be inserted sealingly into the chamber housing, preferably by means of a base. This enables simple assembly and disassembly.
  • the outflow opening is preferably connected to the chamber via the connection valve.
  • the connection valve is preferably arranged in the upper region of the chamber and directly below the upper edge of the standpipe.
  • a filter is preferably switched on between the outlet opening of the tub base and the inlet opening of the pipe section in order to keep coarse contaminations of the bathing water away from the pipe section and the pipe system.
  • the standpipe is arranged essentially coaxially in the preferably essentially cylindrical chamber.
  • connection valve can be located in the annular space between the standpipe and the chamber housing.
  • This connection valve is preferably designed as a flap valve which opens under the pressure of the tub filling and / or the negative pressure of a pump arranged in the piping system.
  • the filtering of impurities in the bathing water can be achieved in a simple manner, for example, in that the standpipe is surrounded at a distance by a cylindrical filter whose outer diameter in the region of the outflow opening corresponds to the diameter of the outflow opening.
  • the entire water flow which passes through the connection valve is thus also passed through the coaxial filter.
  • This filter can be attached with its lower end, for example, to the base of the standpipe and can be supported at its upper end indirectly or directly on the chamber housing, the trough base or a part connected to it to the outside. In this way, the filter is easy to replace, despite being reliably held in the drain device, in order to be cleaned from time to time.
  • the outflow opening is formed by a discharge sleeve, which is aligned on its upper side with the inner surface of the tub floor and which projects through the tub floor to center the chamber housing.
  • the end sleeve can simultaneously serve the installation of the cylindrical filter and the arrangement of the connection valve.
  • the chamber housing itself can also be screwed to the bottom of the tub.
  • the chamber housing has a cover section which bears against the underside of the trough base, a cylinder jacket section which adjoins the cover section and from which the pipe branch branches, and a base section which the drain line connects to.
  • the upper end of the standpipe is designed as a sealing seat which interacts with a valve disk which can be raised and lowered.
  • the valve disk can be actuated, for example, by an actuating rod protruding into the drain line.
  • the drainage sleeve and thus also the outflow opening is covered by a cap, for example provided with through-openings, in order to provide a certain visual protection for the drainage device and to prevent larger objects from clogging the drainage device.
  • the cap can be raised and lowered with the valve plate of the drain valve.
  • the drainage device 1 which is provided for a whirlpool tub or the like.
  • Sanitary tub with a pipe system 12 intended for supplying air and / or water to at least one nozzle opening into the tub interior is located in the region of an outflow opening 2 the tub.
  • the outflow opening 2 is connected to the piping system 12 by means of a connecting valve 3 designed as a flap valve via a pipe section 4.
  • the drain opening 2 is connected to the drain line 6 via a drain valve 5.
  • the drain valve 5 is arranged at the upper end of a standpipe 7 opening into the drain line 6 in the region of the outlet opening 2 of the tub base 8.
  • the standpipe 7 is located essentially coaxially in a chamber 9 which is delimited by a cover section 18, a bottom section 20 and by a cylinder jacket section 19 connecting these two.
  • the standpipe 7 is connected at its lower end to a base 10.
  • the base 10 is with annular circumferential seals 26 in a recess 27 of the bottom section 20 attached to the lower end of the cylinder jacket section 19 sealingly but releasably.
  • the lower open end of the standpipe 7 opens into a drain line 6, the first section of which is formed by a recess 28 in the base section 10 and by openings 29 in the base section 20.
  • the outflow opening 2 communicates with the chamber 9 via the connection valve 3, which is designed as a flap valve and surrounds the standpipe 7 in its upper section.
  • connection valve 3 which is designed as a flap valve and surrounds the standpipe 7 in its upper section.
  • a cylindrical filter 14 is provided, which surrounds the standpipe 7 at a distance and whose outer diameter in the region of the outlet opening 2 corresponds to the diameter of the outlet opening 2.
  • the cylindrical filter 14 is plugged with its lower end onto a tapered part of the base 10 and lies with its upper end on the outside against a drainage sleeve 15, which forms the outflow opening 2, is aligned on its upper side with the inner surface 16 of the tub base 8 and for Centering of the chamber housing 11 in the area of its upper cover section 18, which rests on the underside 17 of the tub bottom 8, projects through the tub bottom 8.
  • the drainage sleeve 15 is flared at its upper end and sits in a corresponding initially conical and then downward cylindrical recess 30 of the tub bottom 8. Since the inlet opening 13 of the pipe section 4, to which the pipe system 12 connects, in the cylinder jacket section 19 of the Chamber housing 11 is located, the filter 14 is located between the outflow opening 2 and the inlet opening 13.
  • the standpipe 7 is slightly widened at its upper end to form a sealing seat 21 which works together with a valve plate 22.
  • the valve plate 22 provided with an O-ring 31 can be adjusted in height axially from the illustrated sealing position into an open position and back again by means of an actuating rod 23 which projects down into the drain line 6 and can be actuated from there.
  • a cap 25 which covers the outflow opening 2 in the closed position and can be provided with through-openings 24, is screwed onto the upper end of the actuating rod 23 which projects beyond the valve plate 22.
  • the chamber 9 and the interior of the pipe section 4 remains filled with bath water even after opening the drain valve 5 after using the whirlpool bath, which then, provided with a cleaning agent, is used as cleaning liquid until the next use of the whirlpool bath.
  • a three-way valve (not shown) between the piping system 12 and the drain line 6, the cleaning liquid can be drained into the sewage system via the drain line 6 immediately before the jacuzzi tub is used again.
  • the chamber 9, the interior of the pipe section 4 and the pipe system 12 are filled again with fresh bath water via the opening valve 3.
