Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuating device for a drain fitting of a cistern according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such an actuating device is known from EP-A-479716 which, after actuation of the valve of the drain fitting, enables the rinsing process to be interrupted in order to reduce water consumption.
  • This actuating device contains a switching device in a housing, which is arranged on the drain fitting and forms a unit with it.
  • the switching device contains a two-armed connecting lever mounted on the drain fitting, with which an overflow pipe containing the valve plate is coupled.
  • the connecting lever has two drivers, which can optionally be brought into engagement with an axially displaceable pusher.
  • a float is also assigned to the overflow pipe in order to keep the valve open after a first actuation and to allow the cistern to be completely emptied. In the event of a second actuation, the emptying, which may not yet be complete, is stopped.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop such an actuating device in such a way that a functionally reliable actuation of the drain valve is made possible with a simple construction.
  • the actuator and the entire drain fitting should only require a few components.
  • the actuating device should be able to be integrated into a known push-button drain fitting, without the need for significant design changes.
  • the proposed actuating device is characterized by a functionally reliable construction with few components. It enables the drain valve to be opened and shut off for the purpose of saving water with little assembly and material.
  • the proposed device contains a first actuating lever mounted on one side, which can act on the connecting lever and / or on at least one other lever when the push button is actuated via drivers.
  • drivers can be arranged on the connecting lever and the other lever within the scope of the invention, or alternatively the actuating lever can have these drivers, which can accordingly be selectively engaged with one of the two levers.
  • the actuating lever is mounted outside the longitudinal axis of the drain fitting and can be acted on by means of the push button.
  • the actuating lever can be pivoted both about a horizontal axis and in an expedient manner about a vertical axis parallel to the longitudinal axis, in order to preferably actuate the connecting lever or the other levers as required by means of one or the other driver such that the overflow pipe is raised or down is pressed.
  • These combined pivoting movements ensure that the connecting lever and the drain valve are actuated in the desired manner.
  • guide means are provided, which are designed in particular as inclined surfaces in order to bring the first actuating lever into a defined angular position with respect to the vertical axis, in particular depending on its pivot position about the horizontal axis and / or the vertical position of the overflow pipe with respect to the horizontal axis.
  • the linkage of the connecting lever to the overflow pipe takes place in a particularly expedient manner in the region of the vertical longitudinal axis, ie in the center of the overflow pipe, so that tilting movements thereof are avoided and an essentially axial movement of the overflow pipe and / or the valve body took place.
  • a pin or the like coupled to the actuating element essentially only carries out an axial movement, while the actuating lever coupled thereto can be pivoted both about the horizontal axis and about the vertical vertical axis.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of the drain fitting 2 of a cistern with an overflow pipe 4, at the lower end of which a valve body 6 is arranged.
  • the valve body 6 is expediently an integral part of the overflow pipe 4 and is preferably formed in one piece with it.
  • a bottom valve 8 is provided, which is attached to the underside of the cistern on the outside by means of a threaded ring 10 and which contains a valve seat 12 in the cistern.
  • the valve body 6 has a valve plate 14 made of rubber or an elastomer, which in the position shown here rests on the valve seat 12 in a sealing manner, the outflow of water from the cistern being prevented in the position shown by means of the drain valve designed in this way.
  • the drain fitting 2 contains a float cup 16, in which a float assigned to the overflow pipe 4 and not shown here is provided in a known manner.
  • the float cup 16 is detachably connected to the bottom valve 8, in particular by means of a bayonet connection 18.
  • the actuating device contains a housing or a frame 20 which is adjustably connected to the drain fitting 2 via two lateral arms 22, 23 and clamps 24, 25.
  • an actuating element 26 is arranged in the form of a push button, the actuating element being arranged outside the cistern.
  • the push button 26 is normally held in the position shown here by means of a spring 28.
  • the actuating element can also be designed in another way instead of the directly manually actuated button shown here, for example to enable the drain valve to be actuated remotely in an electrically or pneumatically controlled manner.
  • the housing can be designed as a hood or the frame 20 can have, for example, only a single arm instead of the symmetrical design with the two lateral arms 22, 23.
  • the housing or the frame can be connected indirectly to the drain fitting via the cistern. Regardless of the respective specific design of the actuating element, the housing or the connection to the drain fitting, the design and arrangement of various levers 31, 32, 33 explained below is decisive for the invention.
  • the actuating lever 31 is designed with one arm and is articulated at one end to the frame 20 by means of a bearing 34.
  • the bearing 34 enables the actuation lever 31 to be pivoted about a pivot axis 36 that is orthogonal to the plane of the drawing. Furthermore, the bearing 34 enables the actuation lever 31 to be pivoted about a vertical axis 38, which runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis 40 of the actuating device and / or the drain fitting.
  • the actuating element or the push button 26 is coupled to the actuating lever 31 by means of a joint 42.
  • the joint 42 has on the one hand a bolt 44 and on the other hand a fork 46.
  • the fork 46 is arranged at the lower end of a pin 48 and is formed in one piece with it.
  • the bolt 44 is expediently connected in one piece to the actuating lever 31, while the fork 46 is connected to the pushbutton 26 via the pin 48.
  • This design of the joint 42 ensures simple assembly and connection of the actuating lever 31 together with the actuating element or the push button 26.
  • the coupling of the actuating element or the joint 42 is designed such that the combined movements of the actuating lever 31 to be explained below about the pivot axis 36 and the vertical axis 38 can be carried out without hindrance.
  • the connecting lever 32 which is also referred to below as the second lever, can be pivoted about a horizontal axis 50 with respect to the housing or frame 20 of the actuating device.
  • a horizontal bearing 50 with a bolt 51 for mounting the arm 32 is provided on the front side of the arm 23 visible here.
  • a further bolt is provided for mounting a further lever 33, which is also referred to below as the third lever.
  • the second and third levers 32, 33 are connected to one another by means of an axle 52. This axis 52 serves to improve the torsional stiffness of the two levers 32, 33 and for the defined specification of the distance between the levers 32, 33.
  • the actuating lever 31, which can be pivoted about the vertical axis 38, can optionally be used with the one or another lever 32, 33 can be brought into engagement.
  • the two second lever 32, 33 and the axis 51 consist of a single component and thus be integrally connected to one another.
  • the two levers 32, 33 are articulated at their other ends, expediently in the region of the longitudinal axis 40 to a rack 53.
  • a connection to the overflow pipe 4 that can be set in the vertical direction is created via a coupling 54.
  • the rack 53 has a fork-shaped joint body 55 at the upper end, between the two upwardly directed arms 56 of which the two levers 32, 33 are mounted and guided by means of pins 58.
  • the pin 58 engages in a recess 60, which is designed here as a longitudinal groove and which, if necessary, can also be designed as a bore or the like, of the lever 32.
  • another pin is arranged on the other arm of the joint body 55 coaxially to the pin 58, which pin correspondingly engages in a longitudinal groove of the lever 33.
  • the second and third levers 32, 33 contain drivers 62, 63 for interacting with the first lever 31.
  • the two levers 32, 33 always assume the same pivot position with respect to the bearing 50, especially since the levers 32, 33 are connected to one another by the axis 52 are connected.
  • the position of the actuation lever 31 between the other two levers 32, 33 can be clearly seen.
  • the two levers 32, 33 are guided between the arms 56 and 57 of the joint body 55.
  • a longitudinal plane 64 runs through the vertical axis 38 and the longitudinal axis 40, with respect to which the first lever 31 is pivoted out by a first angle 66 in the direction of the connecting lever or second lever 32.
  • the first driver 32 is designed and arranged such that it lies under the actuating lever 31, as can be seen in connection with FIG. 1. In this basic position, the driver 63 of the other lever 33 is not below the actuating lever 31, but is, relative to the longitudinal plane 64, at a sufficiently large distance so that no intervention is possible when the actuating lever 31 is pivoted downward.
  • the drivers can alternatively be arranged on the actuating lever 31 in order to act on one of the two levers 32 or 33 in accordance with the following explanations when the latter is actuated.
  • Fig. 3 shows the drain fitting after the first actuation of the actuating element or push button 26.
  • the actuating lever 31 has been pivoted downward, the connecting arm 32 having been pivoted downward with its outer arm via the driver 62 and the overflow pipe by means of the articulated rack 53 would be lifted vertically upwards.
  • a stop 68 is used on the actuating device 20, in particular on its lateral arm 23.
  • the valve plate 14 is raised upwards accordingly by the valve seat 12 and the rinsing water can thus flow out through the opened opening 70 of the bottom valve 8.
  • the middle part of the actuating lever 31 protrudes partially from above into the fork-shaped joint body 55.
  • the second driver 63 is located approximately at the same height as the central part of the actuating lever 31. As can also be seen in connection with FIG. 4, the second driver 63 does not engage the actuating lever 31 due to its pivoting by the angle 66.
  • FIG. 5 and 6 show the actuating device with the frame 20 and the drain fitting 2 in the position after the actuating element 26 has been released.
  • the actuating lever 31 is simultaneously lifted up into the basic position via the joint 42.
  • a guiding of the actuating lever 31 is ensured by means of a first inclined surface 71 on the arm 23.
  • the first inclined surface 71 is inclined with respect to the vertical longitudinal plane such that the distance at the lower end of the inclined surface is greater than at the upper end. Since there was still sufficient water in the cistern, the overflow pipe 6 floats up to the maximum height due to the float mentioned, with the axis 52 also pivoting the connecting lever or the second lever 32 to the maximum in the clockwise direction.
  • the second lever 32 has an angled arm 72 which extends below the actuating lever 31.
  • the arm 72 has a second upper inclined surface 74 facing the actuating lever 31, against which the first lever 31 bears in the position shown.
  • This inclined surface 74 extends from an upper edge 76 of the lever 31 according to FIG. 5 to the rear with respect to the horizontal plane and is inclined downward.
  • the second inclined surface 74 beginning at the upper edge 76 of the second lever 32 can be clearly seen.
  • the upper inclined surface 74 arranged on the angled arm 72 of the lever 32 ends at the lower edge 78 and is located below the actuating lever 31, which bears against the inclined surface in this position.
  • the overflow pipe 4 sinks down after the cistern has been completely emptied, since the float arranged in the float cup 16 and assigned to the overflow pipe 4 can no longer hold the overflow pipe 4 in the raised position.
  • the valve plate 14 in turn rests on the valve seat 12 and the opening 70 is completely closed off.
  • the lever system with the three levers 31, 32, 33 then returns to the starting position according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 show the renewed actuation of the push button to interrupt the flushing process before the cistern has been emptied.
  • the actuating element 26 is already pressed down over part of its adjustment path, the first lever 31 also being pressed down. Due to the inclined surface 74 on the second lever 32, the latter is pivoted away from the first lever 32 in the direction of arrow 80 in accordance with FIG. 8 and is now located near the third lever 33.
  • the first lever 31 is about the vertical axis 38 in this second pivoting position with respect to the longitudinal plane 64 pivoted at a second angle 82.
  • the first angle 66 and the second angle 82 are matched to one another, taking into account the lateral distances between the two drivers 62, 63 in the direction transverse to the longitudinal plane 64, such that in the second position the second driver 63 can be brought into engagement with the first lever 31, while the first driver 62 can no longer be brought into engagement with the first lever 31.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 show the actuating device after the actuating element or the pushbutton 26 has been brought into the lower end position. Due to the pivoting of the actuating lever 31 by means of the inclined surface 74 into the second pivoting position, the actuating lever 31 could be moved downwards without using the second lever 32 or the first driver 62 to engage. On the other hand, the operating lever 31 was in engagement with the second driver 63, so that the overflow pipe 4 with the valve plate 14 was moved downward via the third lever 33 and the articulated rack 53. The valve plate 14 now rests sealingly on the valve seat 12 and the further emptying of the cistern is interrupted.
  • the first lever 31 is moved upward due to the spring 28 via the joint 42 until it again assumes the starting position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the first lever 31 is swiveled up, it comes to bear against the first inclined surface 71 and is subsequently swiveled back again about the vertical axis 38 when it is swiveled up further. If the pivoting movement of the first lever 31 upwards into the position according to FIG. 1 is completed, then according to FIG. 2 it has again assumed its basic position corresponding to the first angle explained there with respect to the longitudinal plane 64.
