Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower cubicle according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a shower cabin is known from DE-U-7143189 and contains a pump for pumping water out of a shower tray.
  • This pump is connected via a hose or a pipe to a waste water pipe through which the pumped water is drained from the shower tray.
  • a level switch is provided in this container, which contains three electrodes of different lengths which are fixedly arranged with their upper ends in the wall of the container and project vertically into them. The level in the container is detected by means of the level switch and the pump is switched as a function thereof. A considerable space and installation effort is required for the container and the level switch.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop the shower cubicle in such a way that the pumping out of water is ensured with little effort and with high functional reliability. Special pipes, collecting containers or the like should be avoided and a low material requirement and space requirement should be achieved.
  • the proposed shower cabin is characterized by a low effort and a high level of functional reliability due to the contact-free sensor switch used.
  • the sensor switch is arranged on the underside of the shower tray and detects the entry into the shower tray by a person as well as the impact of water in the shower tray or the water present in the shower tray.
  • the sensor switch sends a signal to the control electronics and the pump is switched on.
  • the sensor switch can be easily mounted on the underside of the tub and requires a significantly smaller volume compared to a level switch with associated collection point.
  • a capacitive sensor switch is used, which is characterized both by a compact design and by a high level of functional reliability.
  • Fig. 1 a top view of a shower tray 2 is shown, which has a drain 4 in a known manner.
  • two vertical walls 6, 7 are arranged, which are at right angles to each other.
  • a boiler 8 is arranged, which is covered towards the inside of the shower tray 2 with a cover 10.
  • a pipe 12 leads from the drain 4 to a pump 14, by means of which waste water can be pumped through a pipe 16 into a waste water line, not shown here.
  • the pump 14 is switched on and off as required by means of a schematically indicated control unit 18.
  • a contactless sensor 20 is also arranged below the shower tray 2.
  • This sensor 20 is designed in particular as a capacitively effective sensor.
  • the sensor 20 is connected directly to the underside of the tub, in particular by means of an adhesive connection, and enables contact-free detection when a user enters the shower tub or in the event of an impact with water or the presence of water.
  • the capacitive sensor 20 is connected to the control unit 18 via a line 22.
  • a matching unit 24 is assigned to the sensor 20, by means of which a switching threshold can be set.
  • the adjustment unit 24 is preferably arranged in the sensor itself or in the control unit 18.
  • the adjustment unit 24 contains, for example, a potentiometer, the setting of which can be used to specify the switching threshold, from which a switching signal is given to the control unit 18 for switching on the pump 14 by means of the sensor. Furthermore, the control unit 18 contains a timer 26, by means of which a delay time can be specified. With the timer, the switching off of the pump 14 is delayed by the predetermined time. In practice, a delay time of 3 to 7 seconds, preferably of essentially 5 seconds, has proven to be expedient. This prevents the pump from being switched on and off frequently if, for example, a user stands quietly in the tub for a short time; this proves to be particularly useful for the service life and functional reliability of the pump and the shower cabin as a whole.
  • Fig. 2 shows an enlarged section along section line II, here the bottom of the shower tray is clearly visible in section.
  • the shower tray 2 is made of acrylic and the switch sensor 20 is glued to the underside 28 of the tray bottom.
  • a carrier 30, which is part of a support frame for supporting the shower tray 2.
  • the pump 14 is fastened to this carrier 30.
  • the sensor 20 has a very low overall height 32 of 1-2 cm and is securely attached directly to the underside of the tub base by means of an adhesive connection.
  • the non-contact sensor 20 is preferably arranged essentially at the lowest point of the shower tray 20 and / or in the immediate vicinity of the pump 14 and / or the drain.
  • the design according to the invention with a contact-free, capacitive sensor requires a minimal construction effort and a small construction volume, while nevertheless ensuring a high level of functional reliability.
