Abstract

The remote control device is used for control of the water and/or air supply nozzles of a bath-tub (1) and, where appropriate, for further functions such as intensity of the circulating pump, underwater illumination and the like. It comprises a manual remote control unit (2) having command keys (8) and at least one emitting diode. This emitting diode is assigned a stationary receiving diode communicating with the functional elements to be controlled. An essential simplification without impairment of the control possibilities is obtained when a stationary instrument tray (6) which is ergonomically easily reached by the hands of the user of the bath-tub (1) and has allocated to it a stationary receiving diode which is oriented toward its assigned emitting diode of the manual remote control unit which can only be placed in a predetermined position, is provided for the manual remote control unit (2). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Fernbedienungseinrichtung für die Steuerung der Wasser- und/oder Luft-Zufuhrdüsen einer Badewanne sowie ggf. weiterer Funktionen, wie Umwälzpumpenintensität, Unterwasserbeleuchtung o. dgl., mit einem eine Befehlstasten sowie mindestens eine Sendediode umfassenden Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät, dem eine mit den zu steuernden Funktionselementen in Verbindung stehende stationäre Empfangsdiode zugeordnet ist, und mit einer vom Benutzer der Badewanne von Hand erreichbaren, der Aufnahme des Hand-Fernbedienungsgeräts dienenden stationären Geräteablage.The invention relates to a remote control device for controlling the water and / or air supply nozzles of a bathtub and possibly other functions, such as circulation pump intensity, underwater lighting or the like, with a hand-held remote control device comprising a command key and at least one transmitter diode a stationary reception diode connected to the functional elements to be controlled is assigned, and with a stationary device shelf which can be reached by hand by the user of the bathtub and serves to hold the hand-held remote control device.

Bei einer bekannten Fernbedienungseinrichtung dieser Art (DE-GM 86 27 707), bei der die Signale mittels Infrarotstrahlung übertragen werden, ist die Empfangsdiode im Bereich eines zusätzlichen stationären Steuergeäts angeordnet, das ebenso wie das Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät mit einem Befehlstasten umfassenden Tastenfeld sowie mit einem Anzeigefeld in Form eines Sichtfensters ausgerüstet ist. Die stationäre Geräteablage ist dem stationären Steuergerät Zugeordnet und dient dann der Aufnahme des Fernbedienungsgeräts, wenn es nicht benutzt wird.In a known remote control device of this type (DE-GM 86 27 707), in which the signals are transmitted by means of infrared radiation, the receiving diode is arranged in the region of an additional stationary control device which, like the hand-held remote control device, has a keypad comprising command buttons and a Display field in the form of a viewing window is equipped. The stationary device tray is assigned to the stationary control device and is used to hold the remote control device when it is not in use.

Die gewünschten Funktionen können bei dieser bekannten Einrichtung somit entweder von dem stationären Fernbedienungsgerät aus ausgelöst werden, das am Wannenrand festgelegt ist, oder mit dem hiervon gesonderten, zusätzlichen Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät gewählt und herbeigefügt werden. Der bauliche Aufwand für die Fernbedienung wahlweise einerseits über das Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät und andererseits über das am Wannenrand festgelegte stationäre Fernbedienungsgerät ist außerordentlich hoch.The desired functions can thus be triggered in this known device either from the stationary remote control device, which is fixed on the tub edge, or selected and added with the separate, additional hand-held remote control device. The structural effort for the remote control either on the one hand via the handheld remote control device and on the other hand via the stationary remote control device fixed on the tub edge is extremely high.

Es hat sich nun gezeigt, daß eine wesentliche Vereinfachung, ohne auf die Bedienungsbequemlichkeit verzichten zu müssen, erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreichbar ist, daß die Geräteablage eine stationäre Empfangsdiode umfaßt, die auf die ihr zugeordnete Sendediode des nur in vorbestimmter Position ablegbaren Hand-Fernbedienungsgeräts ausgerichtet ist.It has now been shown that a substantial simplification, without having to forego the ease of use, can be achieved according to the invention in that the device storage comprises a stationary receiving diode which is aligned with the associated transmitting diode of the hand-held remote control device which can only be stored in a predetermined position.

Bei einer so ausgebildeten Fernbedienungseinrichtung läßt sich das Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät, das vom Benutzer erfaßt und über dessen Tastatur die gewünschte Funktion ausgelöst werden kann, in vom Benutzer bequem zugänglicher Reichweite auf der Geräteablage derart in vorbestimmter Position ablegen, daß es aufgrund der dann gegebenen Ausrichtung der Sendediode auf die Empfangsdiode gleichzeitig als stationäres Fernbedienungsgerät verwendbar ist, das zur Betätigung der Fernbedienungstastatur vom Benutzer nicht mehr in die Hand genommen zu werden braucht. Das bei der erwähnten herkömmlichen Einrichtung für notwendig erachtete stationäre Fernbedienungsgerät entfällt völlig.In a remote control device designed in this way, the handheld remote control device, which can be grasped by the user and the desired function can be triggered via the keyboard, can be stored in a conveniently accessible range on the device shelf in a predetermined position in such a way that it is due to the then given orientation of the device Transmitting diode on the receiving diode can also be used as a stationary remote control device that is used to operate the remote control keyboard no longer needs to be picked up by the user. The stationary remote control device deemed necessary in the conventional device mentioned is completely eliminated.

Als in baulicher Hinsicht äußerst vorteilhaft hat es sich in weiterer Ausgestaltung erwiesen, wenn die stationäre Geräteablage ein Gehäuse umfaßt, das die stationäre Empfangsdiode enthält. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich nämlich nach Einsetzen des Hand-Fernbedienungsgeräts in die Geräteablage zwangsläufig eine große räumliche Nähe von Sendediode und Empfangsdiode, was in abgelegtem Zustand des Fernbedienungsgeräts dessen Funktionssicherheit begünstigt.From a structural point of view, it has proven to be extremely advantageous if the stationary device storage comprises a housing which contains the stationary receiving diode. In this way, after inserting the hand-held remote control device into the device storage, there is inevitably a great spatial proximity of the transmitter diode and receiver diode, which in the stored state of the remote control device favors its functional reliability.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die stationäre Geräteablage derart ausgebildet und auf dem Wannenrand angeordnet, daß das abgelegte Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät in nach rückwärts geneigtem Zustand mit seiner die Befehlstasten aufweisenden Frontseite dem Benutzer zugewandt ist. Für den Benutzer sind die Befehlstasten dann besonders gut erkennbar und bequem betätigbar.The stationary device tray is expediently designed and arranged on the tub rim in such a way that the stored hand-held remote control device faces the user in the backward-inclined state with its front side having the command keys. The command keys are then particularly well recognizable and easy to operate for the user.

Dabei hat es sich im Hinblick auf eine ästhetisch ansprechende, baulich einfache Ausführung als besonders günstig erwiesen, wenn das Gehäuse der stationären Geräteablage eine schräg nach rückwärts abfallende Oberfläche umfaßt, von der sich eine die geneigte Ablageposition des Hand-Fernbedienungsgeräts bestimmende Stütze nach aufwärts erstreckt.It has proven to be particularly advantageous with regard to an aesthetically pleasing, structurally simple design if the housing of the stationary device storage comprises an obliquely sloping back surface from which a support determining the inclined storage position of the hand-held remote control device extends upwards.

Diese Zielsetzung wird in weiterer Ausgestaltung begünstigt, wenn das Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät ein Gerätegehäuse mit einer rückseitigen Ausnehmung umfaßt, in die die Stütze nach Ablage des Geräts eingreift. Dabei ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Abstand der Ausnehmung des Gerätegehäuses von der Unterkante des Gerätegehäuses dem Abstand der in die Ausnehmung einführbaren Oberkante (Quersteg) der Stütze von der Oberfläche des Gehäuses der Geräteablage entspricht, insbesondere im dem Fall, wenn die Sendediode in weiterer zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung der Erfindung im Bereich der Unterkante des Gerätegehäuses angeordnet ist, und zwar ausgerichtet auf einen Bereich des Gehäuses der Geräteablage, an dem sich die Empfangsdiode befindet.This objective is favored in a further embodiment if the handheld remote control device comprises a device housing with a rear recess into which the support engages after the device has been deposited. It is particularly advantageous if the distance of the recess of the device housing from the lower edge of the device housing corresponds to the distance of the upper edge (transverse web) of the support which can be inserted into the recess from the surface of the housing of the device storage, in particular in the case when the transmitter diode is in a further position expedient embodiment of the invention in the area of the lower edge of the device housing is arranged, specifically aligned to a region of the housing of the device storage, on which the receiving diode is located.

Wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich, umfaßt die Fernbedienungseinrichtung für die Steuerung der nicht dargestellten Wasser- und/oder Luft-Zufuhrdüsen einer Badewanne 1 ein Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät 2 mit je einer nicht näher gezeigten Sendediode im Bereich der Unterkante 3 des Gerätegehäuses 4 sowie im Bereich der Oberkante 5 diese Gehäuses sowie eine auf dem Rand der Badewanne 1 festgelegte stationäre Geräteablage 6 mit stationären, ebenfalls nicht näher dargestellten Empfangsdioden, die im Gehäuse 7 der Geräteablage 6 angeordnet sind. Diese Empfangsdioden stehen mit den zu steuernden Funktionselementen in Verbindung.As can be seen from the drawing, the remote control device for the control includes those not shown Water and / or air supply nozzles of a bathtub 1, a hand-held remote control device 2, each with a transmission diode (not shown in more detail) in the area of the lower edge 3 of the device housing 4 and in the area of the upper edge 5 of this housing, as well as a stationary device tray fixed on the edge of the bathtub 1 6 with stationary, also not shown receiving diodes, which are arranged in the housing 7 of the device tray 6. These receiving diodes are connected to the functional elements to be controlled.

Bei Betätigung einer der Befehlstasten 8 des Hand-Fernbedienungsgerätes 2 werden Infrarot-Signale von den Sendedioden ausgesandt, von mindestens einer der Empfangsdioden aufgefangen und zu den Funktionseinheiten übertragen, deren Steuerung durch diese Betätigung der entsprechenden Befehlstasten 8 ausgelöst wird. Je nach Zahl der zu steuernden Funktionen kann das Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät 2 mit einer eine unterschiedliche Zahl von Befehlstasten 8 aufweisenden Tastatur versehen sein. Außer der Düsensteuerung sind über die Befehlstasten 8 ferner z. B. die Umwälzpumpenintensität oder die Unterwasserbeleuchtung beeinflußbar. Bei jeder Betätigung einer Befehlstaste 8 erfolgt über eine Leuchtdiode 9 für den Benutzer eine Rückmeldung, daß eine der angesteuerten Funktionen nunmehr ausgeführt wird. Diese Leuchtdiode 9 ist an der die Befehlstasten 8 umfassenden Vorderseite des Gehäuses 4 des auf der Stütze 13 abgelegten Hand-Fernbedienungsgerätes 2 vorgesehen, die mit der dem Benutzer zugewandten schmalen Stirnseite 10 des Gehäuses 7 der Geräteablage 6 fluchtet. Die flache Bauweise des Hand-Fernbedienungsgerätes 2 ermöglicht in bekannter Weise die Unterbringung einer der Stromversorgung dienenden Batterie 11 sowie einer die erforderlichen elektronischen Bauelemente tragenden Platine 11'. Auch im Gehäuse 7 der Geräteablage 6 ist auf analoge Weise eine Platine 11'' untergebracht.When one of the command buttons 8 of the handheld remote control device 2 is actuated, infrared signals are emitted from the transmitter diodes, intercepted by at least one of the receiver diodes and transmitted to the functional units, the control of which is triggered by this actuation of the corresponding command buttons 8. Depending on the number of functions to be controlled, the handheld remote control device 2 can be provided with a keyboard having a different number of command keys 8. In addition to the nozzle control, z. B. the circulation pump intensity or underwater lighting can be influenced. Each time a command key 8 is pressed, the user receives feedback via an LED 9 that one of the controlled functions is now being carried out. This light-emitting diode 9 is provided on the front side of the housing 4 of the manual remote control device 2 which is placed on the support 13 and which is aligned with the narrow end face 10 of the housing 7 of the device tray 6 facing the user. The flat design of the hand-held remote control device 2 allows, in a known manner, the accommodation of a battery 11 serving for the power supply and a circuit board 11 'carrying the required electronic components. A board 11 ″ is also accommodated in the housing 7 of the device tray 6 in an analogous manner.

Wie aus den Fig. 1 bis 4 ersichtlich, weist das Gehäuse 7 der stationären Geräteablage 6 eine schräg nach rückwärts abfallende Oberfläche 12 auf, von der sich eine einen rechten Winkel mit ihr einschließende Stütze 13 nach aufwärts erstreckt, so daß diese eine entsprechend geneigte Ablageposition des Hand-Fernbedienungsgerätes 2 bestimmt. Diese Stütze 13 ist durch ein U-förmig gebogenes Runddrahtprofilsegment 14 mit parallel zueinander verlaufenden Schenkeln gebildet. Die unteren Endabschnitte 15 dieser Schenkel sind im Gehäuse 7 der Geräteablage 6 festgelegt. Die oberen Endabschnitte 16 sind mit dem sie verbindenden, in die Ausnehmung 18 des Gerätegehäuses 4 einführbaren Quersteg 17 aus der von der gemeinsamen Ebene der Achse der unteren Endabschnitte 15 nach rückwärts um ein Maß versetzt, das den Durchmesser des Runddrahtprofilsegmentes 14 geringfügig übersteigt, wie dies besondern deutlich aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht. Mit diesem Quersteg 17 greift die Stütze 13 nach Ablage des Hand-Fernbedienungsgerätes 2 in eine rückseitige Ausnehmung 18 des Gerätegehäuses 4 ein. Der Abstand der Ausnehmung 18 des Gerätegehäuses 4 von der Unterkante 3 des Gerätegehäuses entspricht dem Abstand der in die Ausnehmung einführbaren Oberkante (Quersteg 17) der Stütze 13 von der Oberfläche 12 des Gehäuses 7 der Geräteablage 6. Dabei hat sich die Anordnung einer der Empfangsdioden in demjenigen Bereich des Gehäuses 7 der Geräteablage 6 als günstig erwiesen, auf den die Unterkante 3 des Gerätegehäuses 4 mit einer der Sendedioden ausgerichtet ist. Die Schrägstellung der Stütze 13 in Verbindung mit der Anordnung der Ausnehmung 18 des Gerätegehäuses 4 stellen sicher, daß bei Ablage des Hand-Fernbedienungsgerätes 2 letzteres unter seinem Gewicht zwangsweise eine vorbestimmte, für die Signalübertragung bei Betätigung von Befehlstasten 8 optimale Position einnimmt.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 4, the housing has 7 of the stationary device tray 6 has an obliquely backward sloping surface 12, from which a right angle including the support 13 extends upward, so that it determines a correspondingly inclined storage position of the hand-held remote control device 2. This support 13 is formed by a U-shaped round wire profile segment 14 with parallel legs. The lower end portions 15 of these legs are fixed in the housing 7 of the device tray 6. The upper end portions 16 are with the connecting, insertable into the recess 18 of the device housing 4 cross bar 17 from the common plane of the axis of the lower end portions 15 backwards by an amount slightly exceeding the diameter of the round wire profile segment 14, as this is particularly clear from Fig. 1. With this crosspiece 17, the support 13 engages in a rear recess 18 of the device housing 4 after the hand-held remote control device 2 has been deposited. The distance of the recess 18 of the device housing 4 from the lower edge 3 of the device housing corresponds to the distance of the upper edge (transverse web 17) of the support 13 which can be inserted into the recess from the surface 12 of the housing 7 of the device holder 6. The arrangement of one of the receiving diodes in FIG that area of the housing 7 of the device tray 6 has been shown to be favorable, to which the lower edge 3 of the device housing 4 is aligned with one of the transmitter diodes. The inclination of the support 13 in connection with the arrangement of the recess 18 of the device housing 4 ensure that when the hand-held remote control device 2 is stored, the latter inevitably assumes a predetermined position for the signal transmission when command buttons 8 are pressed.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist sowohl im Bereich der Stirnseite 10 des Gehäuses 7 der Geräteablage 6 eine zusätzliche Empfangsdiode angeordnet als auch im Bereich der der Unterkante 3 abgelegenen Oberkante 5 des Gerätegehäuses 4 eine zusätzliche Sendediode. Diese Dioden treten insbesondere dann in Funktion, wenn das Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät 2 in von der Stütze 13 abgenommenem Zustand benutzt werden.An additional receiving diode is expediently arranged both in the region of the end face 10 of the housing 7 of the device storage unit 6 and in the region of the upper edge 5 of the device housing 4 remote from the lower edge 3. These diodes then appear in particular Function when the handheld remote control device 2 is used in the state removed from the support 13.

Um eine optimale Ausrichtung des abgelegten Hand-Fernbedienungsgerätes 2 auf den Benutzer der Badewanne 1 zu ermöglichen, ist das Gehäuse 7 der Geräteablage 6 mitsamt der Stütze 13 für das Hand-Fernbedienungsgerät 2 um die vertikale Achse eines am Badewannenrand 1 fixierten Tragsockels verschwenkbar festgelegt. Der hülsenförmige Tragsockel 19 weist dabei eine zylindrische Außenfläche mit einer Umfangsnut 20 auf, in die eine der schwenkbaren Festlegung des auf den Sockel 19 aufgeschobenen Gehäuses 7 der Geräteablage 6 dienende, dieses Gehäuse durchsetzende Madenschraube 21 hineinragt. Wie aus den Fig. 7 und 8 ersichtlich, sind der Umfangsnut 20 des Tragsockels 19 den Verschwenkweg des Gehäuses 7 der Geräteablage 6 begrenzende Anschläge 22 zugeordnet.In order to enable the hand-held remote control device 2 to be optimally aligned with the user of the bathtub 1, the housing 7 of the device shelf 6 together with the support 13 for the hand-held remote control device 2 is fixed so as to be pivotable about the vertical axis of a support base fixed to the bath tub rim 1. The sleeve-shaped support base 19 has a cylindrical outer surface with a circumferential groove 20, into which a grub screw 21, which passes through this housing and serves to pivot the fixing of the housing 7 of the device tray 6 pushed onto the base 19. As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 8, the circumferential groove 20 of the support base 19 is associated with stops 22 which limit the pivoting path of the housing 7 of the device tray 6.

Aufgrund der drehbaren Lagerung des Gehäuses 7 der Geräteablage 6 läßt sich auch eine für den Benutzer günstige Ausrichtung der Stirnseite 10 des Gehäuses herbeiführen, was dann von Vorteil ist, wenn - wie in Fig. 3 veranschaulicht - durch die transparente Stirnseite 10 hindurch die Anzeige auf der Platine 23 sichtbar ist. Von dieser sind einerseits die jeweils über die Befehlstasten 8 des Hand-Fernbedienungsgeräts gewählten Funktionen durch Aufleuchten der entsprechenden Leuchtdioden 24 sowie sonstige Meßwerte, wie z.B. die Uhrzeit, die Wassertemperatur bzw. Badedauer ablesbar. Zu den wählbaren Funktionen gehören auch komplette eingespeicherte Programme, die bei Betätigung der entsprechenden Befehlstasten 8 abrufbar sind, wie z.B. die in bestimmter zeitlicher Folge gruppenweise betätigbaren Luft-Zufuhrdüsen, ansteuerbare Minimal- bzw. Maximalwerte der Umwälzpumpenintensitäten bzw. Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten. Auch die Desinfektionsvorgänge des Rohrsystems sind auf analoge Weise programmiert durch Tastendruck abrufbar.Due to the rotatable mounting of the housing 7 of the device tray 6, a user-friendly orientation of the end face 10 of the housing can also be brought about, which is advantageous when - as illustrated in FIG. 3 - the display on through the transparent end face 10 the board 23 is visible. Of these, on the one hand, the functions selected in each case via the command keys 8 of the hand-held remote control device by lighting up the corresponding light-emitting diodes 24 and other measured values, such as, for example, the time, water temperature and bathing time can be read. The selectable functions also include complete stored programs that can be called up when the corresponding command keys 8 are pressed, e.g. the air supply nozzles which can be actuated in groups in a specific time sequence, controllable minimum or maximum values of the circulating pump intensities or flow velocities. The disinfection processes of the pipe system can also be programmed in an analog manner by pressing a button.
