Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hygiene toilet, as has become known from the publication WO 90/06715.
  • a contact protection pad (paper pad) is thereby removed from a box arranged in the rear area of the toilet bowl.
  • 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.
  • the technical teaching of claim 1 serves to solve the problem.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a frame 1 for the drive unit is formed from two parallel bearing plates 2, 3 which are at a mutual distance from one another and which are fixedly connected to one another at a distance via corresponding connecting bolts.
  • a gear 5 On the side surface of a bearing plate 2, a gear 5 is fixedly flanged, on the outside of which a motor 6 is attached.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the drive shaft sleeve 12 is first driven in a rotating manner.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the driving path of the drive shaft 11 can be adjusted depending on the angle of rotation of the freewheel.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show a hydraulic cylinder 27.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the rotary drive can be controlled by an electric motor.
  • gas pressure spring 24 can be omitted when using an electric motor.
  • FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of a drive unit, the same parts being provided with the same reference symbols.
  • 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.
  • a second gear is used.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
