Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flushing device in a toilet cistern, with an actuating device with which a valve body of a drain fitting is to be raised by means of a pulling element for the optional triggering of a full or partial flushing, the valve body being loaded with an additional weight in the case of partial flushing, and with Means for decoupling the actuating device after triggering a partial flush.
  • a flushing device of this type has become known in the prior art from EP-A-0 448 092.
  • This is a lever system with two separate to trigger the partial flush Stored levers are provided, between which a coupling device is arranged with a hook which is rotatably arranged at an angle at a free end region of a first lever, wherein guide means are formed by an inclined part which consists of said second lever at the location of said, on protrudes hook attached to said first lever to allow engagement of said hook with the second lever.
  • This very complex actuating device ensures that the closing movement of the valve body cannot be influenced by the operator after a partial flush has been triggered. The closing movement is carried out precisely in particular when the operator continuously depresses the corresponding button on the actuating device.
  • This flushing device is considered disadvantageous in that it is bound to a comparatively complex lever system and, for example, an actuating device with a push button is not possible.
  • the lever system is at least partially above the rinse water and is very susceptible to limescale deposits, which can lead to malfunctions.
  • a flushing device with an actuating device which optionally allows full or partial flushing, has also become known from the applicant's DE-A-36 18 671.
  • the additional weight is attached to the valve body by means of a reversing device arranged at the upper end of the valve body.
  • a Coupling of the actuating device after triggering a partial flush is not provided here.
  • DE-U-92 15 972 shows a flushing device in which a float is assigned to an actuating device for partially emptying the cistern, which is connected to an auxiliary auxiliary valve.
  • This device is very complex to build and consist of many individual parts.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a flushing device of the type mentioned, which can be used more universally and in particular enables a push button operation and which is also characterized by a simpler structure.
  • the problem is solved by the features listed in the independent claims.
  • the actuating device can be of any design and only requires a pulling element with which the additional weight can be raised. Such an additional weight is also possible when a push button is pressed.
  • the float valve of the drain set can also be designed in the usual way and does not require an auxiliary valve and the like. This results in the desired universal application of the flushing device according to the invention.
  • valve body has no switching or connecting means must be loaded and the float buoyancy can be kept to a minimum.
  • float buoyancy can be kept to a minimum.
  • the flushing device 50 shown in the drawing is used in a conventional flushing tank 12, which is shown here only in sections. It consists essentially of a drain fitting 10 and an actuating device 11, with which a valve body 2, which can also be an overflow pipe, is lifted from a valve seat 19 to trigger a flush, whereupon water in the cistern 12 through side windows 17 into a float housing 15 and from there through an opening 49 into a toilet bowl, not shown here.
  • valve body 2 Due to the buoyancy of a float 16 arranged in the float housing 15, the valve body 2 is kept in suspension until the cistern is partially or completely emptied.
  • Drain fittings 10 with a float 16 and a lift-off valve body 2 have long been known.
  • a socket 18 of the float housing 15 is inserted through an opening 13 in the bottom of the cistern 12 and fixed with a fastening nut 14 screwed on from the underside.
  • the actuating device 11 is designed such that either full or partial flushing is possible.
  • the actuating device 11 has a lever 25 which is pivotably mounted on a web 24 and which has a button 26 which is accessible from the outside of the cistern. With one end 51, the lever 25 engages in a slot 22 of a tab 21 formed on the valve body 2.
  • the lever 25 can also be a push button, as is used in particular in ceramic cisterns. It is only essential that the valve body 2 can be raised by actuation.
  • the button 26 is depressed, the valve body 2 is raised with the valve plate 20, so that the drain valve opens.
  • the float 16 keeps the raised valve body 2 in suspension until the cistern 12 is substantially completely emptied.
  • the valve body 2 then falls down again and closes the valve, after which the cistern is refilled to a predetermined level via an inlet valve, not shown here.
  • the actuating device 11 is provided with a second lever 30 which can also be pivoted on the web 24 and has a button 31 which can be operated from the outside.
  • the button 31 is only a handle, which can also be a push button, for example.
  • a lower end 52 of the lever 30 engages in an opening 28 of a tab 27 which is attached to the upper end of a pull element 3, in particular a pull rod.
  • the pull rod 3 is displaceably guided in a bore 41 of a projection 40 formed on a weight body 4 and extends down to a cover 38 of the float housing 15.
  • a bearing part 34 is attached, on which a coupling member 1 can be pivoted is stored.
  • the coupling member 1 is a two-armed lever, with a downward arm 5 engaging through an opening 36 in the cover 38 in the float housing 15.
  • the other arm 6 is directed obliquely upwards and inclined towards the outside of the valve body 2.
  • a lug 39 is formed on the coupling member 1 and, in the position according to FIG. 1, bears against the top of the cover 38. In the position shown in FIG. 1, another nose 53 formed on the coupling member 1 rests on a cam 35 of the cover 38 and holds the arm 6 in the position shown.
  • a one-armed lever 8 which is pivotally mounted at its upper end on an axis 62 of the weight body 4, is pivoted until a tooth 61 at the lower end of this lever 8 is at a short distance via a shoulder 29 of the valve body 2 is arranged.
  • the pivoting takes place through scenes 45 which are guided in an opening 44 of the cover 38.
  • FIG. 2 shows, when the valve is fully open, a lower stop surface 57 of the tooth 61 is located only slightly above the shoulder 29. If the weight body 4 decoupled from the pull rod 3 moves downward along the valve body 2, the tooth lies after a short distance 61 on the shoulder 29, whereby the movement mentioned is interrupted and the valve body 2 is loaded by the weight of the weight body 4.
  • the total weight of the valve body 2 and the weight body 4 is dimensioned such that the buoyancy force of the float 16 is not sufficient to prevent the valve body 2 from closing prematurely.
  • the valve body 2 therefore moves comparatively quickly downward after the weight body 4 has latched in until the valve plate 20 rests on the valve seat 19. As a result of the premature closing of the valve, a predetermined portion of the flushing water remains in the cistern 12.
  • the coupling member 1 remains in the position shown in FIG. 2, while the weight body 4 moves downward and the coupling member 1 receives in a recess 59. If the button 31 is finally released, the pull rod 3 lowers with the coupling member 1 down into the starting position shown in FIG. After the outlet valve has been closed, the cistern 12 is refilled in a manner known per se through an inlet valve (not shown here). The rinsing device 50 is then ready for either full or partial rinsing.
  • the rinsing device according to the present invention can be implemented comparatively with a few simple and robust additional parts. These additional parts, in particular the two coupling elements 1 and 8, can be integrated in the outlet fitting 10, which results in a particularly compact and easy-to-assemble structure.
  • the valve body 2 is freely rotatable in the float housing 15 and is not burdened by additional coupling parts.
  • the actuating device 11 can be designed very differently, which is why the inventive Rinsing device can be used essentially with all conventional cisterns and in particular also with ceramic and concealed cisterns.
  • flushing device According to the invention, it can be seen that it can be implemented with relatively few, simple and robust components, so that a flushing device was created according to the invention which not only takes excellent account of the sanitary requirements, but is also inexpensive and inexpensive due to its simple and robust design is extremely reliable in operation.
