Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Hygienetoilette, wie sie aus der Druckschrift WO 90/06715 bekannt geworden ist.The invention relates to a hygiene toilet, as has become known from the publication WO 90/06715.

Bei dieser bekannten Anordnung wird eine Kontaktschutzauflage (Papierauflage) dadurch aus einem im hinteren Bereich der Toilettenschüssel angeordneten Kasten entnommen. Hierbei wird die Sitzbrille nach hinten in eine aufwärts gerichtete Neigung verschwenkt und es ist eine Entnahmevorrichtung in der Sitzbrille angeordnet, mit der es möglich ist, die vorderste, in dem Kasten angeordnete Papierauflage zu ergreifen, festzuklemmen und aus dem Papierstapel abzureißen, wobei gleichzeitig die Sitzbrille mit dieser Papierauflage bedeckt wird und nach unten in die Benutzungsstellung verschwenkt.In this known arrangement, a contact protection pad (paper pad) is thereby removed from a box arranged in the rear area of the toilet bowl. Here, the seat glasses are pivoted rearward into an upward inclination and a removal device is arranged in the seat glasses, with which it is possible to grasp the foremost paper support arranged in the box, clamp it and tear it off the paper stack, at the same time the seat glasses is covered with this paper pad and pivoted down into the use position.

Aus der WO 90/06715 ist nicht entnehmbar, mit welchem Antrieb die Entnahmevorrichtung zur Entnahme von Papierauflagen betrieben wird und wie das zeitliche Zusammenspiel zwischen der Entnahmevorrichtung und dem Schwenkantrieb der Sitzbrille abläuft.From WO 90/06715 it cannot be deduced with which drive the removal device is operated for removing paper supports and how the temporal interaction between the removal device and the swivel drive of the seat glasses takes place.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Entnahmevorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß zuverlässig eine Papierauflage geklemmt werden kann und die Sitzbrille mit dieser Papierauflage bedeckt werden kann, wobei die genannte Vorrichtung möglichst kostengünstig ausgebildet sein soll.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a removal device of the type mentioned at the outset such that a paper support can be reliably clamped and the seat glasses can be covered with this paper support, the said device being designed to be as inexpensive as possible.

Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe dient die technische Lehre des Anspruches 1.The technical teaching of claim 1 serves to solve the problem.

Merkmal der Erfindung ist, daß der Antrieb für die Entnahmevorrichtung und der Schwenkantrieb zum Heben und Senken der Sitzbrille von ein und derselben Kraftquelle abgeleitet wird. Diese Kraftquelle ist als Elektromotor ausgebildet.It is a feature of the invention that the drive for the removal device and the swivel drive for lifting and lowering the seat glasses are derived from one and the same power source. This power source is designed as an electric motor.

Damit entstehen relativ geringe Herstellungskosten, denn es bedarf nur eines einzigen Antriebes, um sowohl den Schwenkantrieb der Sitzbrille als auch den Antrieb für die Entnahmevorrichtung zur Entnahme einer Papierauflage aus dem Kasten zu verwirklichen.This results in relatively low manufacturing costs, since only a single drive is required to implement both the swivel drive of the seat glasses and the drive for the removal device for removing a paper support from the box.

Für die Entnahmevorrichtung muß also ein Hubantrieb geschaffen werden, wobei die Hubbewegung des Hubantriebes über einen Bowdenzug oder über ein Gestänge der Entnahmevorrichtung zugeführt werden muß, welche im oberen Teil der Sitzbrille angeordnet ist.A lifting drive must therefore be created for the removal device, the lifting movement of the lifting drive having to be supplied via a Bowden cable or via a linkage to the removal device which is arranged in the upper part of the seat glasses.

Es ist also wesentlich, daß das Gestänge oder der Bowdenzug des Hubantriebes an der gleichen Antriebswelle ansetzt, wo auch der Antrieb für die Verschwenkung der Sitzbrille erfolgt.It is therefore essential that the linkage or the Bowden cable of the lifting drive attaches to the same drive shaft, where the drive for the pivoting of the seat glasses takes place.

Beim Stand der Technik bestanden Probleme beim zeitlichen Ablauf der Tätigkeit der Entnahmevorrichtung zur Entnahme einer Papierauflage in Verbindung zu dem Verschwenken der Sitzbrille. Es muß nämlich sichergestellt werden, daß bei hochgeschwenkter Sitzbrille erst die Entnahmevorrichtung in Tätigkeit gesetzt wird, so daß zuverlässig ein Papier aus dem Stapel im Kasten entnommen und an der Sitzbrille festgeklemmt wird und erst wenn dieses gewährleistet ist, darf der Schwenkantrieb für die Sitzbrille in Tätigkeit gesetzt werden, so daß diese nach unten in ihre Benutzungsstellung verschwenkt werden kann.In the prior art, there were problems with the timing of the activity of the removal device for removal a paper pad in connection with the pivoting of the seat glasses. It must namely be ensured that when the seat glasses are swung up, the removal device is only put into operation, so that a paper is reliably removed from the stack in the box and clamped onto the seat glasses and only when this is ensured can the swivel drive for the seat glasses be in operation be set so that it can be pivoted down into its position of use.

Um diese zeitliche Hintereinanderfolge des zeitlichen Einschaltens der Entnahmevorrichtung und des nachfolgenden Einschaltens des Schwenkantriebes für die Sitzbrille durch ein und denselben Antrieb zu bewerkstelligen ist es vorgesehen, daß eine mechanische Antriebsverzögerung zwischen dem Drehantrieb der Sitzbrille und dem Hubantrieb für die Entnahmevorrichtung vorgesehen ist. Es soll also sichergestellt werden, daß bei Einschaltung des Antriebsmotors zuerst die Entnahmevorrichtung angesteuert wird und danach zeitverzögert der Drehantrieb für die Sitzbrille stattfindet.In order to accomplish this chronological sequence of the temporal activation of the removal device and the subsequent activation of the swivel drive for the seat glasses by one and the same drive, it is provided that a mechanical drive delay is provided between the rotary drive of the seat glasses and the lifting drive for the removal device. It should therefore be ensured that when the drive motor is switched on, the removal device is first activated and then the rotary drive for the seat glasses takes place with a time delay.

Hierzu ist es in einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß die mechanische Zeitverzögerung zwischen dem Hubantrieb der Entnahmevorrichtung und dem Drehantrieb der Sitzbrille aus einer mechanischen Nachlaufkupplung besteht. Wesen dieser Nachlaufkupplung ist, daß der gemeinsame Antriebsmotor direkt auf eine Antriebswellenhülse arbeitet, d.h. also drehfest mit dieser Antriebswellenhülse verbunden ist und daß diese Antriebswellenhülse ihrerseits drehfest mit dem Gestänge des Hubantriebes für die Ansteuerung der Entnahmevorrichtung verbunden ist. Auf diese Weise wird gewährleistet, daß sofort nach dem Einschalten des Antriebsmotors über die Antriebswellenhülse die Entnahmevorrichtung in Tätigkeit gesetzt wird.For this purpose, it is provided in a development of the invention that the mechanical time delay between the lifting drive of the removal device and the rotary drive of the seat glasses consists of a mechanical follow-up clutch. The essence of this trailing clutch is that the common drive motor works directly on a drive shaft sleeve, that is to say it is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to this drive shaft sleeve, and that this drive shaft sleeve is in turn connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the linkage of the linear drive for controlling the removal device. In this way it is ensured that the removal device is put into action immediately after the drive motor is switched on via the drive shaft sleeve.

Erst wenn die Antriebswellenhülse einen bestimmten Drehwinkel von z. B. 30 - 60" (das ist einstellbar) ausgeführt hat, kommt eine Mitnahmekupplung zwischen der Antriebswellenhülse und dem Drehantrieb der Sitzbrille in Eingriff, so daß erst beim Weiterdrehen der Antriebswellenhülse, nachdem also bereits schon die Entnahmevorrichtung angesteuert wurde, die Sitzbrille verschwenkt wird.Only when the drive shaft sleeve a certain angle of rotation of z. B. 30 - 60 "(this is adjustable), a drive coupling between the drive shaft sleeve and the rotary drive of the seat glasses engages, so that only when the drive shaft sleeve is rotated, after the removal device has already been actuated, the seat glasses are pivoted.

Es wird also zunächst die Antriebswellenhülse gedreht, die ihrerseits drehfest über entsprechende Verbindungsglieder mit dem Hubantrieb für die Entnahmevorrichtung gekoppelt ist. Erst nach der Zurücklegung eines gewissen Drehwinkels der Antriebswellenhülse kommt diese in Eingriff mit dem Schwenkantrieb der Sitzbrille, die danach dann (zeitverzögert) verschwenkt wird.The drive shaft sleeve is therefore first rotated, which in turn is coupled in a rotationally fixed manner to the lifting drive for the removal device via corresponding connecting links. Only after a certain angle of rotation of the drive shaft sleeve has been covered does this come into engagement with the pivoting drive of the seat glasses, which is then pivoted (with a time delay).

Für den gemeinsamen Antriebsmotor gibt es mehrere Ausführungsformen, die sämtliche von der Erfindung umfaßt sein sollen.There are several embodiments for the common drive motor, all of which are intended to be encompassed by the invention.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform wirkt ein Elektromotor über ein Getriebe auf ein zweites Übertragungsgetriebe, welches über eine Rutschkupplung in Eingriff mit der besagten Antriebswellenhülse sich befindet. Bei diesem Elektromotor handelt es sich um einen einfachen Scheibenhebermotor, wie er in Kraftfahrzeugen für den Hubantrieb der Seitenscheiben des Kraftfahrzeuges verwendet wird. Derartige Motoren sind kostengünstig zu beschaffen und weisen ein hohes Drehmoment auf.In a first embodiment, an electric motor acts via a gear on a second transmission gear, which is in engagement with said drive shaft sleeve via a slip clutch. This electric motor is a simple window lifter motor as used in motor vehicles for the lifting drive of the side windows of the motor vehicle. Such motors are inexpensive to procure and have a high torque.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform erfolgt die Kraftübertragung von einem Elektromotor nicht über ein zweites Getriebe auf die Antriebswellenhülse, sondern über einen Zahnriemen.In another embodiment, the power transmission from an electric motor does not take place via a second gear to the drive shaft sleeve, but via a toothed belt.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Antriebswelle für den Drehantrieb der Toilettensitzbrille aus zwei zu verdrehenden Teilstücken besteht, wobei diese Teilstücke fluchtend zueinander in entsprechenden parallel zueinander angeordneten Montageplatten angeordnet und über Mitnahmestifte miteinander gekuppelt sind.In a preferred embodiment of the present invention it is provided that the drive shaft for the Rotary drive of the toilet seat glasses consists of two sections to be rotated, these sections being arranged in alignment with one another in corresponding mounting plates arranged parallel to one another and coupled to one another via driving pins.

Die Antriebswelle dient über die Antriebswellenhülse und einen Freilauf zum Antrieb eines Bowdenzuges, mit dem die Klemmeinrichtung für die Einklemmung und Halterung der Papierschutzauflage betätigt wird.The drive shaft is used via the drive shaft sleeve and a freewheel to drive a Bowden cable with which the clamping device for clamping and holding the paper protection pad is actuated.

Die Antriebswelle dient sonst für den eigentlichen Drehantrieb der Toilettensitzbrille, wobei die Wellenzapfen über Mitnahmestifte miteinander gekuppelt sind.The drive shaft is otherwise used for the actual rotary drive of the toilet seat glasses, the shaft journals being coupled to one another via driving pins.

Der Freilauf funktioniert so, daß zunächst beim Start der Bewegung die Antriebswellenhülse drehend angetrieben wird, so daß der Bowdenzug erst die Papierklemmeinrichtung in Tätigkeit setzt und nach Überwindung eines bestimmten Drehwinkels wird danach erst die Toilettensitzbrille über den Freilauf drehend angetrieben.The freewheel works in such a way that the drive shaft sleeve is first rotatably driven at the start of the movement, so that the Bowden cable first activates the paper clamping device and, after overcoming a certain angle of rotation, the toilet seat glasses are then rotatably driven via the freewheel.

Damit ist gewährleistet, daß immer zuerst eine Papierschutzauflage geklemmt oder gelöst wird (je nach Heb- oder Senkstellung der Toilettensitzbrille) und erst danach dann die Toilettensitzbrille selbst in ihre angehobene Stellung oder in ihre abgesenkte Stellung gedreht wird.This ensures that a paper protection pad is always clamped or released first (depending on the raised or lowered position of the toilet seat glasses) and only then is the toilet seat glasses themselves rotated into their raised position or into their lowered position.

Es handelt sich also um eine bestimmte Vorlaufbewegung, die durch den besagten Freilauf erreicht wird.It is therefore a specific advance movement that is achieved by said freewheel.

In einer Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es im übrigen vorgesehen, daß die dem Drehantrieb der Toilettensitzbrille zugeordnete Antriebswelle von einer Gasdruckfeder beaufschlagt wird, und zwar immer in ihren Endlagen. In der angehobenen Endlage drückt diese Gasdruckfeder die Toilettensitzbrille unter der Kraft dieser Gasdruckfeder gegen die Klemmeinrichtung für die Papierschutzauflage, so daß die Klemmeinrichtung mit definiertem Druck an der Papierschutzauflage anliegt, unabhängig von der aktuellen Papierstärke der Papierschutzauflage. Hierbei ist es also gleichgültig, ob eine große Anzahl von Papierschutzauflagen noch in der Art eines Blockes an der Vorderseite des Spülkastens befestigt sind oder nur eine geringe Anzahl; die Gasdruckfeder sorgt immer dafür, daß die Toilettensitzbrille mit einer bestimmten definierten Andruckkraft an die Klemmeinrichtung angepreßt wird.In a further development of the present invention, it is also provided that the drive shaft assigned to the rotary drive of the toilet seat glasses is acted upon by a gas pressure spring, always in its end positions. This presses in the raised end position Gas pressure spring the toilet seat glasses under the force of this gas pressure spring against the clamping device for the paper protection pad, so that the clamping device rests with a defined pressure on the paper protection pad, regardless of the current paper thickness of the paper protection pad. It is therefore immaterial whether a large number of paper protection pads are still attached to the front of the cistern in the manner of a block or only a small number; the gas pressure spring always ensures that the toilet seat glasses are pressed against the clamping device with a defined pressure force.

In analoger Weise sorgt die Gasdruckfeder auch für eine definierte Andruckkraft der Toilettensitzbrille in ihrer abgesenkten Stellung auf die Toilettensitzschüssel. Damit wird sichergestellt, daß die Freilaufkupplung (unabhängig von evtl. Reibungsverlusten) stets zuerst über den eingebauten Freilauf die eine Antriebswelle beaufschlagt, welche den Bowdenzug betätigt, um erst danach dann die Andruckkraft der Gasdruckfeder zu überwinden und die Toilettensitzbrille in ihre angehobene Stellung zu drehen.In an analogous manner, the gas pressure spring also ensures a defined pressing force of the toilet seat glasses in their lowered position on the toilet seat bowl. This ensures that the one-way clutch (regardless of any frictional loss) always first acts on the built-in one-way drive shaft which actuates the Bowden cable, only then to overcome the pressure force of the gas pressure spring and then turn the toilet seat glasses into their raised position.

Damit wird sichergestellt, daß die Toilettensitzbrille immer in einer definierten, abgesenkten Lage auf der Toilettensitzbrille verbleibt, bis der Drehantrieb wirksam die Toilettensitzbrille in ihrer angehobenen Stellung verdreht.This ensures that the toilet seat glasses always remain in a defined, lowered position on the toilet seat glasses until the rotary drive effectively rotates the toilet seat glasses in their raised position.

In der Ausführung mit Elektromotor und zugeordnetem Getriebe ist es wichtig, daß in dem Getriebe eine Rutschkupplung angeordnet ist. Diese Rutschkupplung sorgt dafür, daß wenn die Toilettensitzbrille durch willkürliche Kraft gedreht wird, ohne daß der Drehantrieb über den Motor eingeschaltet würde, dann das Getriebe nicht beschädigt wird. Es handelt sich also um eine Überlastsicherung, die in dem Getriebe integriert ist. Vorstehend wurde erwähnt, daß die Andruckkraft der Gasfeder so groß ist, daß unabhängig von der Papierblockstärke, welche durch die Papierschutzauflagen gebildet wird, die Toilettensitzbrille immer mit definierter Kraft angedrückt wird.In the version with an electric motor and associated gear, it is important that a slip clutch is arranged in the gear. This slip clutch ensures that if the toilet seat glasses are rotated by arbitrary force without the rotary drive being switched on by the motor, then the transmission will not be damaged. So it is an overload protection that is in the transmission is integrated. It was mentioned above that the pressure force of the gas spring is so great that, regardless of the paper block thickness, which is formed by the paper protection pads, the toilet seat glasses are always pressed on with a defined force.

In einer Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb vorgesehen, daß statt eines Papierblockes mit z.B. 100 Blatt Papierschutzauflagen zwei derartige Blöcke hintereinanderliegend angeordnet werden können, wodurch sich eine erhebliche Dicke von z.B. 2 cm insgesamt ergibt und dann insgesamt 200 Blatt Papierschutzauflagen vorhanden sind. Auch diese relativ große Papierdicke wird von der Gasdruckfeder sicher beherrscht.In a development of the present invention it is therefore provided that instead of a paper block with e.g. 100 sheets of paper protection pads two such blocks can be arranged one behind the other, which results in a considerable thickness of e.g. 2 cm in total and then there are a total of 200 sheets of paper protection pads. This relatively large paper thickness is also mastered by the gas pressure spring.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Hierbei gehen aus den Zeichnungen und ihrer Beschreibung weitere erfindungswesentliche Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung hervor.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of drawings which illustrate only one embodiment. Here, from the drawings and their description, further features and advantages of the invention that are essential to the invention emerge.

An der Seitenfläche der einen Lagerplatte 2 ist fest ein Getriebe 5 angeflanscht, an dessen Außenseite ein Motor 6 angesetzt ist.

The motor 6 drives the transmission via its motor shaft 39, which is coupled with its transmission axis in a rotationally fixed manner to a drive shaft 7 which is rotatably mounted between the bearing plates 2, 3. Corresponding bearings 26 are provided here on both sides for mounting this drive shaft 7.

Die Antriebswelle 7 ist drehfest mit einem Zahnrad 8 gekuppelt, über welches ein Zahnriemen 9 geführt ist. Der Zahnriemen 9 ist als umlaufender Zahnriemen ausgebildet und läuft über ein unteres Zahnrad 10, welches drehfest mit einer Antriebswellenhülse 12 verbunden ist. Die Antriebswellenhülse 12 ist über einen drehwinkelabhängigen Freilauf mit der Antriebswelle 11 gekuppelt.The drive shaft 7 is non-rotatably coupled to a gear 8, over which a toothed belt 9 is guided. The toothed belt 9 is designed as a circumferential toothed belt and runs via a lower gear wheel 10, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a drive shaft sleeve 12. The drive shaft sleeve 12 is coupled to the drive shaft 11 via a freewheel that is dependent on the angle of rotation.

Bei den Antrieb des Zahnriemens 9 wird also zunächst die Antriebswellenhülse 12 drehend angetrieben.When the toothed belt 9 is driven, the drive shaft sleeve 12 is first driven in a rotating manner.

An den axialen Seiten des Zahnrades 10 sind hierbei zwei Mitnahmestifte 16,17 angeordnet, die zwischen sich einen bestimmten Drehwinkel einschließen, wobei nach Überwindung dieses Drehwinkels entweder der eine Mitnahmestift 16 oder der andere Mitnahmestift 17 einen im gegenüberliegenden Teil angeordneten Mitnahmestift 20 mitnimmt.On the axial sides of the gear 10, two driving pins 16, 17 are arranged here, one between them include a certain angle of rotation, after overcoming this angle of rotation either one driving pin 16 or the other driving pin 17 takes along a driving pin 20 arranged in the opposite part.

Das gegenüberliegende Teil mit dem Mitnahmestift 20 ist hierbei als Klemmbüchse 18 ausgebildet, welche ein Klemmteil aufweist, welches mit Schrauben 19 drehfest mit der Antriebswelle 11 verspannbar ist.The opposite part with the driving pin 20 is in this case designed as a clamping bush 18, which has a clamping part which can be clamped in a rotationally fixed manner with the drive shaft 11 using screws 19.

Durch die Verdrehung dieser Klemmbüchse 18 kann also der Mitnahmeweg der Antriebswelle 11 in Abhängigkeit von dem Drehwinkel des Freilaufs eingestellt werden.By turning this clamping sleeve 18, the driving path of the drive shaft 11 can be adjusted depending on the angle of rotation of the freewheel.

Hierbei ist das Zahnrad 10 fest mit einer Klemmbüchse 13 verbunden, wobei der Klemmbüchse 13 ein Schellenteil 14 zugeordnet ist,welches mit Schrauben 15 verspannbar ist. Auf diese Weise wird somit die drehfeste Verbindung zwischen der Antriebswellenhülse 12 und dem Zahnrad 10 hergestellt.Here, the gear 10 is firmly connected to a clamping sleeve 13, the clamping sleeve 13 being assigned a clamp part 14 which can be clamped with screws 15. In this way, the rotationally fixed connection between the drive shaft sleeve 12 and the gear 10 is established.

An der Außenseite der Antriebswelle 11 ist an der Seite der Lagerplatte 3 außen noch ein Klemmhebel 21 festgespannt, der ein exzentrisches Lager 22 trägt, an dem die Kolbenstange 23 einer Gasdruckfeder 24 ansetzt, die mit ihrem gegenüberliegenden Ende an einem Lager 25 an der Seite der Lagerplatte 3 befestigt ist.On the outside of the drive shaft 11 on the side of the bearing plate 3, a clamping lever 21 is clamped on the outside, which carries an eccentric bearing 22, on which the piston rod 23 of a gas pressure spring 24 attaches, which has its opposite end on a bearing 25 on the side of the Bearing plate 3 is attached.

Mit Hilfe dieser Gasdruckfeder 24 wird in der vorher beschriebenen Weise die Antriebswelle 11 immer in einer ihrer Endlagen federvorgespannt.With the help of this gas pressure spring 24, the drive shaft 11 is always spring-biased in one of its end positions in the manner described above.

Hierbei ist wesentlich, daß die Toilettensitzbrille drehfest mit der Antriebswelle 11 verbunden ist und somit durch die Gasdruckfeder 24 immer in einer definierten Endlage gehalten wird.It is essential here that the toilet seat frame is non-rotatably connected to the drive shaft 11 and is therefore always held in a defined end position by the gas pressure spring 24.

Die Gasdruckfeder gleicht im übrigen bei der Abwärtsbewegung der Toilettensitzbrille von ihrer angehobenen in die abgesenkte Stellung das Gewicht der Toilettensitzbrille aus, so daß der Antrieb nicht mit einem hohen Drehmoment arbeiten muß.The gas spring compensates for the rest of the downward movement of the toilet seat glasses from their raised to the lowered position, the weight of the toilet seat glasses, so that the drive does not have to work with a high torque.

Damit wird auch die Kupplung zwischen den Mitnahmestiften 16,17,20 nicht überholt.This also means that the coupling between the driving pins 16, 17, 20 is not overhauled.

Die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen einen Hydraulikzylinder 27.FIGS. 1 to 3 show a hydraulic cylinder 27.

Im Hinblick auf den Antrieb des Bowdenzuges wird noch darauf hingewiesen, daß an der Antriebswellenhülse 12 exzentrisch ein Lager 37 angeordnet ist, welches einen Bolzen 38 trägt, an dem dann die Seele des Bowdenzuges ansetzt.With regard to the drive of the Bowden cable, it is also pointed out that a bearing 37 is arranged eccentrically on the drive shaft sleeve 12, which carries a bolt 38, on which the soul of the Bowden cable then attaches.

Vorteil der hier beschriebenen Antriebseinheit ist ein gedränger Raumaufbau, wobei auf beschränktem Raum ein sehr hohes Drehmoment für den Drehantrieb der Sitzbrille erzeugt werden kann. Weiterer Vorteil ist, daß auf diesem beschränkten Raum eine Freilaufeinrichtung integriert ist, die dafür sorgt, daß bei der Einschaltung des Drehantriebes zunächst die Antriebswellenhülse 12 über einen Drehwinkel von etwa 30' angetrieben wird, und erst nach Durchlauf dieses Drehwinkels wird dann die gesamte Antriebswelle 11 selbst drehend mitgenommen und übernimmt den Drehantrieb für die Toilettensitzbrille.The advantage of the drive unit described here is a compact space structure, wherein a very high torque for the rotary drive of the seat glasses can be generated in a limited space. Another advantage is that a free-wheeling device is integrated in this limited space, which ensures that when the rotary drive is switched on, the drive shaft sleeve 12 is first driven over an angle of rotation of approximately 30 ', and only after this angle of rotation has been passed through is the entire drive shaft 11th taken along while turning and takes over the rotary drive for the toilet seat glasses.

Durch den hier beschriebenen modularen Aufbau kann der Drehantrieb über einen Elektromotor berkstelligt werden.Due to the modular structure described here, the rotary drive can be controlled by an electric motor.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, daß bei der Verwendung eines Elektromotors die Gasdruckfeder 24 entfallen kann.It can be provided that the gas pressure spring 24 can be omitted when using an electric motor.

In Figur 4 ist eine zweite Ausführungsform einer Antriebseinheit dargestellt, wobei die gleichen Teilen mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen wurden.FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of a drive unit, the same parts being provided with the same reference symbols.

Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Elektromotor 6 bevorzugt als Scheibenhebermotor ausgebildet, der in an sich bekannter Weise fest mit dem Getriebe 5 verbunden ist. Anstatt des in Figur 1 dargestellten Zahnriemens 9 wird jedoch ein zweites Getriebe verwendet. Hierzu wirkt das Getriebe 5 mit seiner Antriebswelle 7 auf das Zahnrad 8, welches mit einem Zahnrad 40 kämmt, welches auf einer Welle 57 drehbar gelagert ist. Zwischen dem Zahnrad 40 und einem weiteren, koaxial gegenüberliegenden Zahnrad 41 ist eine Rutschkupplung 42 angeordnet. Der Anpreßdruck der Rutschkupplung 42 ist einstellbar. Das Zahnrad 41 kämmt mit den Zahnrad 10, welches in der vorher beschriebenen Weise drehfest mit der Antriebswellenhülse 12 verbunden ist.In this embodiment, the electric motor 6 is preferably designed as a window lifter motor, which is firmly connected to the transmission 5 in a manner known per se. Instead of the toothed belt 9 shown in Figure 1, however, a second gear is used. For this purpose, the gear 5 acts with its drive shaft 7 on the gear 8 which meshes with a gear 40 which is rotatably mounted on a shaft 57. A slip clutch 42 is arranged between the gear 40 and another, coaxially opposite gear 41. The contact pressure of the slip clutch 42 is adjustable. The gear 41 meshes with the gear 10, which is rotatably connected to the drive shaft sleeve 12 in the manner described above.

Die Klemmhülse 18, die drehfest mit der Antriebswelle 11 verbunden ist, ist in einer Befestigung 56 an der Sitzbrille 51 befestigt, so daß mit der Verdrehung der Antriebswelle 11 die Sitzbrille 51 um die Drehachse der Antriebswelle 11 verschwenkt wird.The clamping sleeve 18, which is non-rotatably connected to the drive shaft 11, is fastened in a fastening 56 to the seat glasses 51, so that the seat glasses 51 are pivoted about the axis of rotation of the drive shaft 11 with the rotation of the drive shaft 11.

Die Nachlaufkupplung ist wie bei dem vorher beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 durch den Eingriff der Stifte 16,17 in Verbindung mit dem Stift 20 gebildet. Die Antriebswellenhülse 12 wird somit direkt von dem Zahnrad 41 drehend angetrieben, während die Antriebswelle 11 über die beschriebene Nachlaufkupplung 10,16,17 verzögert mit der Klemmhülse 18 gekuppelt wird.As in the previously described embodiment of FIG. 1, the follower clutch is formed by the engagement of the pins 16, 17 in connection with the pin 20. The drive shaft sleeve 12 is thus driven directly in rotation by the gearwheel 41, while the drive shaft 11 is coupled to the clamping sleeve 18 in a delayed manner via the follower clutch 10, 16, 17 described.

Damit wird sichergestellt, daß beim Einschalten des Motors 6 sofort über die Zahnräder 8,40,41,10 die Antriebswellenhülse 12 verdreht wird. Diese Antriebswellenhülse 12 ist an ihrem Ende drehfest mit einem Hebel 43 verbunden, der eine Exzenterachse 44 aufweist, an dem das eine Ende eines Gestänges 45 ansetzt. Das Gestänge 45 ist durch eine ortsfeste Lagerhülse 46 an der Innenseite der Sitzbrille 51 nach oben in Richtung zum vorderen Ende der Sitzbrille geführt. Das Gestänge 45 weist an seinem oberen Ende einen Kopf 53 auf, der drehbar einen U-förmig gebogenen Hebel 47 übergreift.This ensures that when the motor 6 is switched on, the drive shaft sleeve 12 is immediately rotated via the gears 8, 40, 41, 10. This drive shaft sleeve 12 is on her End rotatably connected to a lever 43 which has an eccentric axis 44 to which one end of a linkage 45 attaches. The linkage 45 is guided upwards through a stationary bearing sleeve 46 on the inside of the seat glasses 51 in the direction of the front end of the seat glasses. The linkage 45 has a head 53 at its upper end, which rotatably engages over a U-shaped lever 47.

Es ist eine Schwenkplatte 50 in einer Achse 58 schwenkbar in der Sitzbrille 51 gelagert, so daß beim Betätigen des Gestänges 45 in den Pfeilrichtungen 52 der Hebel 47 um die Achse 48 herum verschwenkt wird und hierdurch die Schwenkklappe 50 im Sinne der Darstellung der Figur 3 der WO 90/06715 aus der Ebene der Sitzbrille heraus nach außen verschwenkt wird und so eine Papierschutzauflage aus dem Kasten abreißt und beim Zurückschwenken in dem Spalt zwischen dem vorderen Ende der Schwenkklappe und der Ausnehmung in der Sitzbrille festklemmt.There is a pivot plate 50 pivotally mounted in an axis 58 in the seat glasses 51, so that when the linkage 45 is actuated in the arrow directions 52 the lever 47 is pivoted about the axis 48 and thereby the pivoting flap 50 in the sense of the illustration in FIG WO 90/06715 is pivoted out of the plane of the seat glasses and thus tears off a paper protective cover from the box and, when swiveled back, clamps in the gap between the front end of the swivel flap and the recess in the seat glasses.

Im übrigen wird die Schwenkplatte 50 von einer an der Innenseite der Sitzbrille 51 angeordneten Abdeckplatte 49 abgedeckt, die mit Schrauben 58 an der Innenseite der Sitzbrille 51 befestigt ist.Otherwise, the swivel plate 50 is covered by a cover plate 49 which is arranged on the inside of the seat glasses 51 and is fastened to the inside of the seat glasses 51 with screws 58.

Im übrigen ist es vorgesehen, daß auf der Antriebswellenhülse 12 Nockenscheiben 54 angeordnet sind, die exzentrisch zur Drehachse der Antriebswelle 11 aufweisende Nockenbahnen aufweisen, wobei auf diesen Nockenbahnen die Schaltnocken eines oder mehrerer Schalter 55 federnd anliegen. Damit ist es möglich, die Verdrehung der Antriebswellenhülse 12 auch elektrisch über die Schalter 55 zu erfassen und mit der Schalttätigkeit der Schalter 55 andere Aktionen auszulösen, wie z. B. Einschaltung der Wasserspülung und andere Tätigkeiten.In addition, it is provided that 12 cam disks 54 are arranged on the drive shaft sleeve, which have cam tracks eccentric to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft 11, the switching cams of one or more switches 55 resting resiliently on these cam tracks. This makes it possible to detect the rotation of the drive shaft sleeve 12 electrically via the switch 55 and trigger other actions with the switching activity of the switch 55, such as. B. Activation of water rinsing and other activities.
