Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter, insbesondere Spülkasten mit einem daran befestigten Montageelement. Ein bekannter Unterputzspülkasten weist seitlich angeformte Laschen auf, an denen ein aus Blech hergestellter Montagerahmen angeschraubt ist. Dieser Spülkasten wird durch Blasformen hergestellt und die genannten sich im wesentlichen über die ganze Höhe des Kastens erstreckenden Laschen erfordern eine komplizierte Formtrennung des Blaswerkzeugs. Für eine sichere Befestigung des Montagerahmens müssen bei der Montage mehrere Schrauben angebracht werden, was arbeitsaufwendig ist. Das Fertigungsrisiko und die Anzahl möglicher Schadensfälle sind bei diesem Spülkasten aufgrund der vergleichsweise aufwendigen Herstellung und Montage vergleichsweise hoch.The invention relates to a container, in particular a cistern with an attached mounting element. A known concealed cistern has laterally formed tabs to which a mounting frame made of sheet metal is screwed. This cistern is produced by blow molding and the tabs which extend essentially over the entire height of the cistern require a complicated mold separation of the blowing tool. For a secure fastening of the mounting frame, several screws have to be attached during assembly, which is labor-intensive. The manufacturing risk and the number of possible damage cases with this cistern are due to the comparatively complex manufacture and assembly comparatively high.

Bekannt ist auch ein Spülkasten, an dem aussenseitig zur Befestigung eines Montagerahmens mittels Ultraschall Laschen angeschweisst sind. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass auch bei sehr sorgfältiger Arbeitsweise die Schweissqualität unregelmässig und Rissbildung am Spülkasten möglich ist. Das Fertigungsrisiko und der Kontrollaufwand sind deshalb auch bei diesem Spülkasten hoch.A cistern is also known, on the outside of which tabs are welded on by means of ultrasound for fastening a mounting frame. It has been shown that even when working very carefully, the welding quality is irregular and cracking on the cistern is possible. The manufacturing risk and the control effort are therefore high with this cistern.

Im Stand der Technik fehlt somit ein Spülkasten oder ein ähnlicher Behälter, der die genannten Nachteile vermeidet und der somit einfacher und mit kleinerem Fertigungs- und Kontrollaufwand herstellbar und an einem Montageelement und insbesondere an einem Montagerahmen befestigbar ist. Es ist somit eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Behälter und insbesondere Spülkasten mit einem daran befestigten Montagerahmen zu schaffen, der diesen höheren Anforderungen genügt. Die Aufgabe ist durch die Erfindung gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst.The prior art therefore lacks a cistern or a similar container which avoids the disadvantages mentioned and which is thus easier and less manageable to manufacture and check and can be fastened to a mounting element and in particular to a mounting frame. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a container and, in particular, a cistern with a mounting frame attached to it, which meets these higher requirements. The object is achieved by the invention according to claim 1.

Die beim erfindungsgemässen Behälter vorgesehenen Einbuchtungen ermöglichen eine wesentlich einfachere Formtrennung des Blaswerkzeuges, als dies bei einem Behälter mit seitlich vorstehenden Laschen möglich ist. Die Verbindung kann als reine Steckverbindung ausgebildet sein, was eine einfache automatisierbare Montage ohne die Verwendung von Schrauben ermöglicht. Ebenfalls sind Schweissvorgänge und mögliche Rissbildungen vermieden. Schadensfälle sind beim erfindungsgemässen Behälter kaum zu erwarten. Das Fertigungsrisiko und der Kontrollaufwand sind gegenüber den vorbekannten Spülkästen wesentlich reduziert.The indentations provided in the container according to the invention enable the blow mold to be separated much more easily than is possible in the case of a container with laterally projecting tabs. The connection can be designed as a pure plug connection, which is a simple one automatable assembly without the use of screws. Welding processes and possible crack formation are also avoided. Damages are hardly to be expected with the container according to the invention. The manufacturing risk and the control effort are significantly reduced compared to the previously known cisterns.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Einbuchtungen im Spülkasten als durchgehende Rastnuten ausgebildet, was die oben genannte Formtrennung weiter vereinfacht. Sind zudem in den Rastnuten jeweils ein Zentriernocken und im Verbindungsorgan eine korrespondierende Nut angeordnet, so gewährleistet dies eine einfache und zudem zuverlässige seitliche Sicherung des Spülkastens am Montageelement. Die Befestigung des Spülkastens ist dann besonders stabil, wenn das Verbindungsorgan zwei Keile aufweist, die nebeneinander angeordnet sind und jeweils eine Rastverbindung sichern.According to a development of the invention, the indentations in the cistern are designed as continuous locking grooves, which further simplifies the above-mentioned shape separation. If in each case a centering cam and a corresponding groove are arranged in the locking grooves, this ensures simple and reliable lateral securing of the cistern to the mounting element. The fastening of the cistern is particularly stable when the connecting element has two wedges which are arranged next to one another and each secure a snap-in connection.

Ein vorzugsweise aus Blech hergestellter U-förmiger Montagerahmen 1 ist mit mehreren Verbindungsorganen 9 an einem an sich bekannten Unterputzspülkasten 6 befestigt. Ueblicherweise ist der Montagerahmen 1 gemäss Fig. 2 mit Befestigungswinkeln 2 an einer Gebäudewand 3 befestigt. Diese Befestigungswinkel 2 können beispielsweise wie diejenigen nach der EP-A-0 407 352 ausgeführt sein. Der Montagerahmen 1 ermöglicht ein Ausmauern oder Vormauern des Spülkastens 6. Der Montagerahmen 1 kann auch ein anderes für die Montage des Spülkastens 6 geeignetes Montageelement sein. Wie üblich ist am Spülkasten 6 unten ein Ablaufbogen 8 angebracht und im oberen Teil eine Revisionsöffnung 7 vorgesehen. Der Spülkasten 6 kann auch ein anderer in der Sanitärtechnik üblicher Behälter aus Kunststoff sein.A U-shaped mounting frame 1, preferably made of sheet metal, is fastened with a plurality of connecting members 9 to a concealed cistern 6 known per se. The mounting frame 1 according to FIG. 2 is usually fastened to a building wall 3 using fastening brackets 2. These mounting brackets 2 can, for example, be designed like those according to EP-A-0 407 352. The mounting frame 1 allows the cistern 6 to be bricked up or pre-walled. The mounting frame 1 can also be another for mounting the cistern 6 be a suitable mounting element. As usual, a drain elbow 8 is attached to the cistern 6 below and an inspection opening 7 is provided in the upper part. The cistern 6 can also be another plastic container customary in sanitary engineering.

Zwischen dem Rahmen 1 und dem Spülkasten 6 ist ein Zwischenraum 20 für eine Schwitzwasserisolation 5 vorgesehen. Der Abstand zwischen dem Rahmen 1 und dem Spülkasten 6 ist vorzugsweise so gewählt, dass die Isolation 5 zwischen diesen festgeklemmt ist.Between the frame 1 and the cistern 6, a space 20 is provided for condensation water 5. The distance between the frame 1 and the cistern 6 is preferably chosen so that the insulation 5 is clamped between them.

Der Rahmen 1 ist mit mehreren Verbindungsorganen 9 am Spülkasten 6 im wesentlichen unlösbar befestigt. Diese Organe 9 sind aus Kunststoff hergestellt und jeweils von aussen in eine Durchbrechung 4 des Rahmens 1 eingesetzt und verrastet. Hierbei liegt ein Flansch 11 aussenseitig am Rahmen 1 an und hintergreifen Rastnocken 15 die Durchbrechung 4. Die Verbindungsorgane 9 sind damit unverrückbar am Rahmen 1 befestigt. Wie die Fig. 3 zeigt, ist am Flansch 11 jeweils über Stege 14 etwa mittig ein Nocken 17 angeformt. Dieser Nocken 17 ist in eine als Rastnut ausgebildete Einbuchtung 18 in einer Wandung des Spülkastens 6 eingesetzt. Hierbei liegt eine Schulter 19 des Verbindungsorgans 9 aussenseitig am Spülkasten 6 an. Die sich nach innen erweiternde Einbuchtung 18 wird vom Nocken 17 hintergriffen. Damit der Nocken 17 sicher und unlösbar in der Einbuchtung 18 festsitzt, ist ein Keil oder Stift 10 vorgesehen, der in eine konische Ausnehmung oder Bohrung 13 des Verbindungsorgans 9 eingetrieben wird. Zum Festlegen des Nockens 17 in der Einbuchtung 18 wird gemäss Fig. 3 der Keil oder Stift 10 von aussen in die Ausnehmung 13 bis zum Anschlag an einem Wandteil 21 eingesetzt. Unter elastischer radialer Auslenkung der vorderen Bereiche des Nockens 17 geht dieser hierbei in die in Fig. 4 gezeigte gespreizte Stellung über. Der Keil 10 bildet in der Anordnung gemäss Fig. 4 ein Klemmittel, das den Nocken 17 in der Einbuchtung 18 fixiert und verhindert, dass dieser aus der Einbuchtung 18 heraustreten kann. Der Spülkasten 6 ist somit nach allen Richtungen am Verbindungsorgan 9 festgelegt. Zur Sicherung des Keils 10 in der Ausnehmung 13 weist dieser am vorderen Ende seitlich vorstehende Rastnocken 25 auf, welche in der Anordnung gemäss Fig. 4 den Nocken 17 hintergreifen. Da wie oben erwähnt das Verbindungsorgan 9 auch am Montagerahmen 1 unverrückbar festgelegt ist, sind der Montagerahmen 1 und der Spülkasten 6 in einem bestimmten Abstand miteinander fest verbunden. In der Regel sind mehrere, beispielsweise vier Verbindungsorgane 9 vorgesehen.The frame 1 is attached to the cistern 6 with a plurality of connecting elements 9 essentially in a non-detachable manner. These organs 9 are made of plastic and each inserted and locked into an opening 4 of the frame 1 from the outside. Here, a flange 11 lies on the outside of the frame 1 and engages behind the locking cams 15 the opening 4. The connecting members 9 are thus immovably attached to the frame 1. As shown in FIG. 3, a cam 17 is formed approximately in the middle of the flange 11 via webs 14. This cam 17 is inserted into an indentation 18 in the form of a locking groove in a wall of the cistern 6. Here, a shoulder 19 of the connecting member 9 lies on the outside of the cistern 6. The inwardly widening indentation 18 is engaged by the cam 17. So that the cam 17 is securely and permanently attached to the indentation 18, a wedge or pin 10 is provided which is driven into a conical recess or bore 13 of the connecting member 9. To fix the cam 17 in the indentation 18, the wedge or pin 10 is inserted from the outside into the recess 13 up to the stop on a wall part 21 according to FIG. 3. With elastic radial deflection of the front regions of the cam 17, the latter then changes into the spread position shown in FIG. 4. In the arrangement according to FIG. 4, the wedge 10 forms a clamping means which fixes the cam 17 in the indentation 18 and prevents it from coming out of the indentation 18. The cistern 6 is thus fixed in all directions on the connecting member 9. To secure the wedge 10 in the recess 13, it has latching cams 25 which project laterally at the front end and which engage behind the cam 17 in the arrangement according to FIG. 4. Since, as mentioned above, the connecting element 9 is also fixed immovably on the mounting frame 1, the mounting frame 1 and the cistern 6 are firmly connected to one another at a certain distance. As a rule, several, for example four, connecting elements 9 are provided.

Die Einbuchtung 18 ist vorzugsweise eine sich horizontal und über die ganze Breite des Spülkastens 6 erstreckende Rastnut, wie dies in Fig. 6 gezeigt ist. In der Rastnut ist ein Zentriernocken 22 angeordnet, der gemäss Fig. 7 in eine korrespondierende Nut 23 des Verbindungsorgans 9 eingreift und dadurch eine seitliche Verschiebung des Spülkastens 6 bezüglich des Montagerahmens 1 verhindert.The indentation 18 is preferably a locking groove extending horizontally and over the entire width of the cistern 6, as shown in FIG. 6. A centering cam 22 is arranged in the latching groove and engages in a corresponding groove 23 of the connecting member 9 according to FIG. 7 and thereby prevents a lateral displacement of the cistern 6 with respect to the mounting frame 1.

Wie die Fig. 7 weiter zeigt, weist das Verbindungsorgan 9 zwei Ausnehmungen 13 auf, zwischen denen die Nut 23 angeordnet sind und die jeweils einen hier nicht gezeigten Keil 10 aufnehmen.As FIG. 7 further shows, the connecting member 9 has two recesses 13, between which the groove 23 is arranged and which each receive a wedge 10, not shown here.

Ueber der einen Ausnehmung ist eine Lasche 24 angeordnet, die zur Aufnahme eines Befestigungswinkels 2 vorgesehen ist. Die Verbindungsorgane 9 können somit gleichzeitig zur Befestigung des Rahmens an einer Gebäudewand dienen.Above one recess, a tab 24 is arranged, which is provided for receiving a mounting bracket 2. The connecting members 9 can thus serve at the same time for fastening the frame to a building wall.

Für die Befestigung des Rahmens 1 am Spülkasten 6 wird der Spülkasten 6 zusammen mit der Isolation 5 in den Rahmen 1 eingeschoben. Hierauf werden die Verbindungsorgane 9 von aussen in die Durchbrüche 4 eingesetzt bis jeweils der Flansch 11 anliegt und die Nocken 15 eingerastet sind. Gleichzeitig greift jeweils der Nocken 17 in eine Einbuchtung 18 ein. Abschliessend müssen lediglich noch die Keile oder Stifte 10 gemäss Fig. 3 und 4 eingetrieben werden. Wie oben erwähnt, kann der Abstand zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Spülkasten 6 so gewählt sein, dass beim Anbringen der Verbindungsorgane 9 die Isolation 5 zwischen dem Rahmen 1 und dem Spülkasten 6 festgeklemmt wird. Für die Befestigung des Montagerahmens 1 sind somit relativ einfache und automatisierbare Vorgänge erforderlich.For fastening the frame 1 to the cistern 6, the cistern 6 is pushed into the frame 1 together with the insulation 5. The connecting members 9 are then inserted from the outside into the openings 4 until the flange 11 abuts and the cams 15 are engaged. At the same time, the cam 17 engages in an indentation 18. Finally, only the wedges or pins 10 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 have to be driven in. As mentioned above, the distance between the frame and the cistern 6 can be selected such that the insulation 5 is clamped between the frame 1 and the cistern 6 when the connecting members 9 are attached. For the mounting of the mounting frame 1, relatively simple and automatable processes are therefore required.

Da der Spülkasten 6 keine aussen vorstehenden Laschen aufweist, weist er eine geringere Breite auf und ist handlicher, was insbesondere für den Transport wesentlich ist. Gleichzeitig dürfte der Materialverbrauch geringer sein, was bei den hier üblichen hohen Stückzahlen auch wirtschaftlich wichtig ist.Since the cistern 6 has no tabs projecting from the outside, it has a smaller width and is more manageable, which is particularly important for transport. At the same time, the material consumption is likely to be lower, which is also economically important given the high number of items usually used here.
