Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for controlling a flushing process in the area of a toilet bowl, which has a float movably guided in a housing, a lifting element movable in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the housing and a sealing element connected to the lifting element and facing a flushing opening arranged in the region of a flushing cistern accommodating the housing .
  • Devices of this type are used in a wide variety of embodiments in order to allow the cistern to be emptied after a flushing process has been triggered.
  • the lifting element and the sealing element connected to it are raised by pulling or pressing an operating element, thereby opening the flushing opening.
  • the water stored in the area of the cistern can then flow into the toilet bowl.
  • both the cistern and the housing enclosing the float are emptied, so that the float and the lifting element sink.
  • This sinking process is continued until the sealing element reaches the area of a valve seat which is arranged in the area of the flushing opening and seals the flushing opening. Water flowing into the cistern can then no longer reach the area of the toilet bowl, but fills the cistern again.
  • devices which are also known which are provided with an interruption device in order to End the rinsing process prematurely.
  • an interruption device in order to End the rinsing process prematurely.
  • operations are possible in which extremely small amounts of flushing water are continuously introduced into the toilet bowl. This can lead to increases in the area of pipes that connect the toilet bowl to a sewage system. These increases can lead to a reduction in the functionality and ultimately to an unusability of the toilet system.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to improve a device of the type mentioned in the introduction in such a way that both a reduction in the amount of rinsing water and sufficient operational reliability are ensured.
  • This combination of a device for specifying a minimum flushing quantity and means for interrupting the flushing process after the minimum flushing quantity has been dispensed enables the reduction in the flushing water quantity which is aimed at from the point of view of environmental protection to be carried out and nevertheless ensures that the operational safety of the toilet installation is not impaired.
  • a control opening in the area of the housing, it is possible to influence the emptying of the housing and thus the sinking of the float and the positioning of the lifting element.
  • a positioning element it is possible to arrange the sealing element in at least one position that essentially seals the interior of the housing relative to an environment and in at least one position that at least partially clears the control opening. Because of of this simple mechanical basic principle, it is only necessary to use simple mechanical operating elements which have easy-to-manufacture geometries and are highly reliable.
  • the positioning element is designed as a rod which is guided essentially parallel to the lifting element.
  • This parallel arrangement of the positioning element and the lifting element makes it possible to use only one control element both for triggering the flushing process and for actuating the control element.
  • the control element it is contemplated to design the control element as a button that triggers the rinsing process when actuated for the first time and interrupts the rinsing process when actuated a second time.
  • This summary of the operating functions in the area of an operating element makes it possible to construct an easy-to-manufacture cistern cover, in the area of which the operating element is arranged. In particular when used in public areas, in which willful damage must be expected, the risk of damage is significantly reduced by such a construction.
  • the seal is essentially designed as a sealing disk, which is mounted along the positioning element between webs arranged in a star shape. These webs ensure adequate control of the control element in the area of the control opening. In particular, it is possible to remove the seal from the area of the control opening both in the vertical direction downward and in the vertical direction upward and nevertheless to achieve adequate guidance.
  • the positioning element is guided through a recess in the area of the float, which is essentially extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing.
  • the device for controlling a rinsing process shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 essentially consists of a housing (1) which extends along a longitudinal axis (2) and has a housing interior (3) in which a float (4) is arranged .

  • the lifting element (5) extends through the central recess (15).
  • a spring element (16) in the vertical direction below the control element (9), which is designed, for example, as a spiral spring that extends essentially centrally to the positioning element (10).
  • the spring element (16) facilitates assembly, since all parts (9, 11, 46, 17, 44) can be loosely placed on the positioning element (10) and there only by the spring element (16), the collar (18) and one Cross strut (37) are held.
  • the spring element (16) In the area of its extension facing the control element (9), the spring element (16) is supported on an abutment (17). In the area of its extension facing away from the abutment (17), the spring element (16) is supported on a collar (18) which is molded onto the positioning element (10).
  • the spring element (19) can be designed as a spiral spring which extends essentially centrally to the positioning element (10).
  • An abutment (20) facing the housing (1) is provided there to support the spring element (19).
  • the spring element (19) is further supported in the region of a collar (21) which is molded onto the positioning element (10).
  • disks (41, 42) it is in particular possible to arrange disks (41, 42) in the area of the abutment (20) and the collar (21) against which the spring element (19) is supported.
  • disks (43, 44) in the area of the abutment (17) and the collar (18).
  • a collar (50) is provided for controlling the positioning element (10) in the region of the excavation of the positioning element (10) which protrudes through the abutment (20).
  • This collar (50) is dimensioned such that, on the one hand, it can be passed through a corresponding recess in the abutment (20) and, on the other hand, it is large enough to serve as the abutment for the disc (42) delimiting the spring.
  • the spring element (19) can be designed as a leaf spring (113), which is held in a guide (117) formed on the housing (1) and has a bore (128) through which the positioning element (10) is guided ( Fig. 7), wherein the collar (50) is supported from above against the leaf spring (113).
  • the leaf spring (113) is bent so that in none of the end positions of the positioning element (10) forces are exerted by the leaf spring (113) on the positioning element (10), which could laterally deflect the positioning element (10).
  • bracket (22) To enable a defined positioning of the control element (9) in an initial state, it is possible to link a bracket (22) to the positioning element (10).
  • supports (23, 24) are provided, on which the bracket (22) is supported when the float (4) is lowered.

  • the lifting element (5) has recesses (25) in the area of its outer boundary, into which support elements (26) can be inserted, with the aid of which the length of the lifting element (5) can be adjusted.
  • the length adjustment is used to adjust the amount of water flowing out of the housing (1). If the float (4) is coupled to the lifting element (5) via the support elements (26) in the upper recess (25), a comparatively small displacement path of the lifting element (5) and thus draining a relatively small amount of water from the housing is sufficient (1) to bring the sealing element (6) on the valve seat (33) to rest and thus to close the recess (32). If, on the other hand, the lower recess (25) is used to receive the support element (26), the lifting element (5) requires a comparatively large closing path to close the recess (32).
  • the support elements (26) can be designed, for example, as a plastic disk and fastened with an O-ring (101) which is inserted into the recess (25) above the plastic disk (26) and prevents the plastic disk (26) from being floated (4 ) is pressed out of the recess (25).
  • the recesses (25) allow the lifting element (5) to be shortened to accommodate different dimensions of the cistern used in each case to adapt, the recesses (25) serving as markings at which the lifting element (5) is cut off when the flush valve is installed in a cistern of low height.
  • a closure element (27) is arranged in the vertical direction below the housing base (7) and is connected to the housing (1) via a coupling (28).
  • the coupling (28) is essentially cylindrical and surrounds the lifting element (5) which projects into the closing element (27).
  • the closure element (27) consists essentially of a housing plate (7) facing and extending approximately parallel to this base plate (29), a substantially parallel to the base plate (29) arranged end plate (30) and webs (31) which the Connect the base plate (29) to the end plate (30) and extend essentially transversely to the planes spanned by the plates (29, 30). Spaces are provided between the webs (31) which allow flushing liquid to flow through.
  • valve seat (33) In the area of the end plate (30) there is a recess (32) which is enclosed by an essentially cylindrical valve seat (33).
  • the valve seat (33) In the area of its extension facing away from the base plate (29), the valve seat (33) extends essentially in a cylindrical manner and is provided with an external thread which enables it to be screwed into a wall (34) of a cistern, for example with a nut.
  • the valve seat (33) In the area of its extension facing away from the base plate (29), the valve seat (33) carries the sealing element (6) connected to the lifting element (5), which is designed, for example, as a rubber seal.
  • a simple assembly can be made possible in that the closure element (27) is connected to the coupling (28) by means of bayonet catches (35). In principle, however, other connection mechanisms are also conceivable.

In the area of the ends of this tube, the bracket (22) engages with its pins (39).
  • a support element (51) in the area of the lower limit of the float (4) in the vertical direction which is, for example, plate-shaped. In principle, however, it is also sufficient to design the support element (40) as a suitably positioned wire.
  • an output level of the flushing liquid is arranged in the area of the cistern at a level that extends above an upper limit of the housing (1). This ensures that when the float (4) is raised to initiate a rinsing process, rinsing liquid can flow into the housing interior (3) sufficiently to enable the float (4) to float.
  • the volume of the minimum flushing water quantity is predetermined by the relative height arrangement of the housing (1) and thus of the float (4) with respect to the valve seat (33). After loosening the fixation (49), it is thus possible both to adapt to different dimensions of the cistern and to specify different minimum flushing water quantities. Likewise, such an adaptation can be carried out with the aid of the support elements (26), which specify the positioning of the lifting element (5) relative to the float (4).
  • flushing liquid flows again into the interior of the flushing cistern, which is sealed relative to the toilet bowl.
  • the gap between the control element (9) and the collar (13) and the displaceable arrangement of the control element (9) ensure that washing liquid can also reach the area of the housing interior (3). It generates buoyancy forces on the float (4), which, however, are not sufficient to lift the lifting element (5).
  • the buoyancy forces are designed exclusively to hold the raised lifting element (5), which is lifted from the valve seat (33) with the sealing element (6) to open the recess (32), in its raised position.
  • connecting pins (49) are provided, which can engage in recesses assigned to them in different positions and thereby permit different positions.

For example, it is possible to initiate the rinsing process by pressing an operating element (120) after a first press and to interrupt the rinsing process after a second press. However, it is also possible to combine push and pull movements with one another or to provide only pull movements. A stop function is also possible by holding down the push button and holding down the pull button.
  • the device shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 enables the user to initiate a full flush or an economical flush by a single actuation of the operating element (120), with the full flush essentially discharging the entire contents of the cistern filled with water into the toilet bowl while when initiating an economy flush, only a fixed minimum flush volume flows from the cistern into the toilet bowl.
  • the device shown makes it possible to operate the economy flush and the full flush independently of one another either by pressing or by pulling the operating element (120).
  • the flushing valve of the device shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 has an additional solenoid valve (103) which is connected via a triggering device (104) to the positioning element (10) arranged in its vicinity.
  • the solenoid valve (103) essentially consists of a ring magnet (107) arranged at the lower end of a buoyancy body (108), which in the end position shown in FIG. 7 with the operating element (120) not actuated against one below an outlet opening (109) of the housing (1) arranged web (106) is drawn from a magnetic material and closes the outlet opening (109).

  • the buoyancy body (108) is guided on the release device (104).
  • the web (106) is pressed by the spiral spring (111) against the underside of the housing (1) without the outlet opening (109) being closed because the control water on the sides of the web (106 ) can run past into the cistern.
  • the outlet opening (109) is dimensioned so that the water level in the housing (1) drops approximately as quickly as in the cistern. When the water level in the housing (1) has dropped so far that the ring magnet (107) is pulled again against the web (106), the outlet opening (109) is closed.
  • the trigger device (104) When the trigger device (104) is actuated by pulling up the operating member (120), the collar (110) is pulled up together with the trigger device (104), the buoyancy body (108) being raised until the buoyancy force acting upwards is greater than the magnetic attraction force pulling the ring magnet (107) downward against the web (106). The buoyancy body (108) with the ring magnet (107) then floats on opening the outlet opening (109). From then on, the flushing process proceeds in the same way as in the triggering described above by depressing the operating element (120).
  • the solenoid valve (103) is always arranged above the control element (9) in the housing (1), so that it closes, before the sealing element (6) arranged on the lifting element (5) rests on the valve seat (33). After closing the outlet opening (109) there is level compensation between the cistern and the interior of the housing (3) via the gap between the control element (9) and the collar (13), so that until the valve seat (33) is sealed, the with the float (4) connected lifting element (5) is guaranteed.
  • the arrangement of the solenoid valve (103) at a level above the control element (9) ensures that, following an economy flush, a full flush can be triggered if necessary, in which the amount of residual water remaining in the cistern after the economy flush is completed by a further actuation of the Operating organ (120) can be delivered.

  • both the economical washing process and the full washing process are triggered by pressure on the operating element (120).
  • the full flushing process is initiated by light pressure on the control element (120), which is sufficient to lift the sealing element (6) connected to the lifting element (5) from its valve seat (33), but through which the web (106) is not sufficiently wide is removed from the ring magnet (107) in order to trigger floating of the solenoid valve (103).
  • this can be achieved by increasing pressure on the control element (120), so that the full flush can also be replaced by an economical flush with a predetermined minimum flush quantity even during the flushing process.
  • the triggering device (104) and thus the collar (110) is also raised when the operating member (120) is pulled up. While a slight lifting only triggers a full flush here, pulling the buoyancy body (108) with the help of the collar (110) can raise it so far that the buoyancy force exceeds the magnetic attraction force and the ring magnet (108) connected to the buoyancy body (108) 107) floats.
