Abstract

The connector part has an end-sided connection face for a water tap. A water outlet bore extends from the connection face, and contains a ventilation unit (2) in the form of a multiport valve (20). The outflowing water impacts axially on the valve. The valve has two ring-shaped seats (201,202) and a valve closure member (21) movable between the seats. Water outlet is radial between the valve seats. The end section of the bore behind the downstream valve seat is connected to the atmosphere. The bore is a horizontal dead end bore, and its end cuts across a transverse bore. This forms the connection to the atmosphere. The bore also contains a water drip discharge channel.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Unterputz-Anschlußstück für wenigstens ein Wasserventil, insbesondere Wassermischventil und/oder Wasserverteilventil, mit wenigstens einer Zuflußöffnung und wenigstens einer Abflußöffnung, wobei stirnseitig eine Anschlußfläche für ein Wasserventil ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a flush-mounted connector for at least one water valve, in particular water mixing valve and / or water distribution valve, with at least an inflow opening and at least one outflow opening, with a connection surface for a Water valve is formed.

Ein derartiges Unterputz-Anschlußstück ist durch offenkundige Vorbenutzung und aus der Druckschrift DE-A-4 040 667 bekanntgeworden. Hierbei ist an der Anschlußfläche eine Mischventilkartusche mit Spannschrauben gedichtet befestigbar, wobei die Anschlußfläche parallel zur Gebäudewandoberfläche angeordnet ist. In etwa waagerechter Ebene ist auf jeder Seite jeweils ein Anschluß für das zufließende Kaltund Warmwasser und etwa vertikal übereinanderliegend je ein Anschluß für die Abgabe von Mischwasser vorgesehen. Zwischen den beiden Anschlüssen für die Abgabe von Mischwasser ist dem Unterputz-Anschlußstück' ein Wasserverteilventil in einer separaten Bohrung angeordnet, mit dem das in der Mischventilkartusche erzeugte Mischwasser wahlweise dem oberen oder dem unteren Anschluß zugeführt werden kann, wobei das Wasserverteilventil so ausgebildet ist, daß es nach dem Absperren des ausfließenden Mischwassers in eine bevorzugte Auslaufstellung selbsttätig zurückkehrt. Wenn bei diesen Unterputz-Anschlußstücken eine Handbrause mit einem Schlauch und/oder der Mischwasserauslauf in einer Badewanne angeordnet ist, ist es erforderlich, separate Rohrbelüftereinrichtungen vorzusehen, die verhindern, daß bei einem Unterdruck im Versorgungsleitungsnetz Schmutzwasser in das Leitungsnetz zurückgesaugt wird. Die Installation der einzelnen Rohrbelüftungseinrichtungen in den Auslaufleitungen ist relativ aufwendig.
Außerdem ist aus der EP-A-0 495 372 eine an einen Wasch- und/oder Spültisch befestigbare Wasserzapfarmatur bekannt, bei der im Armaturengehäuse zur Verhinderung eines Rücksaugens von Brauchwasser eine in einem zylindrischen Gehäuse angeordnete Belüftungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist. Die Belüftungseinrichtung ist dabei über einen Belüftungskanal, der in einer Brauseschlauchführung und einem rohrförmigen Befestigungsschlauch mündet, mit der Atmosphäre verbunden.
Ferner ist aus der EP-A-0 392 176 eine Anschlussvorrichtung bekannt, bei der an einem Anschlussstück eine Zapfarmatur mit einem am Zapfarmaturengehäuse ausgebildeten Flansch anschließbar ist.
Such a flush-mounted connector has become known through prior public use and from document DE-A-4 040 667. Here, a mixing valve cartridge can be fastened in a sealed manner with clamping screws, the connecting surface being arranged parallel to the surface of the building wall. A connection for the incoming cold and hot water and a connection vertically one above the other for the discharge of mixed water is provided on each side in an approximately horizontal plane. Between the two connections for the discharge of mixed water, the concealed connection piece 'a water distribution valve is arranged in a separate bore, with which the mixed water generated in the mixing valve cartridge can be supplied either to the upper or the lower connection, the water distribution valve being designed such that it automatically returns to a preferred outlet position after the outflowing mixed water has been shut off. If a hand shower with a hose and / or the mixed water outlet is arranged in a bathtub in these flush-mounted fittings, it is necessary to provide separate pipe aerators which prevent dirty water from being sucked back into the supply network in the event of a negative pressure in the supply supply network. The installation of the individual pipe ventilation devices in the outlet lines is relatively complex.
In addition, EP-A-0 495 372 discloses a water tap fitting which can be fastened to a wash basin and / or sink, in which a ventilation device arranged in a cylindrical housing is provided in the fitting housing to prevent the sucking back of used water. The ventilation device is connected to the atmosphere via a ventilation channel, which opens into a shower hose guide and a tubular fastening hose.
Furthermore, a connecting device is known from EP-A-0 392 176, in which a tap fitting with a flange formed on the tap fitting housing can be connected to a connecting piece.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei dem eingangs angegebenen Unterputz-Anschlußstück die Installation der Rohrbelüfter zu vereinfachen, und die Rohrbelüfter kostengünstiger auszubilden.The invention has for its object at the outset specified flush-mounted connector the installation to simplify the tube aerator, and the tube aerator to train more cost-effectively.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1 solved.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 8 angegeben.Further embodiments of the invention are in the claims 2 to 8 specified.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß eine besondere Installation von Rohrbelüftern nicht mehr erforderlich ist. Darüber hinaus ist ein besonderes Rohrbelüftergehäuse für die einzelnen Rohrbelüfter nicht mehr erforderlich, da die Belüftungseinrichtung in dem Unterputz-Anschlußstück integriert ist. Eine seitlich aus dem Unterputz-Anschlußstück herausgeführte Querbohrung ist hierbei jeweils von der Bohrung zur Aufnahme der Belüftungseinrichtung steigend angeordnet, so daß, wenn beim Betrieb der Armatur Leckagen an der Belüftungseinrichtung auftreten, diese von einem Tropfwasser-Abflußkanal aufgenommen werden können.
Vorteilhaft kann die Belüftungsvorrichtung als Baueinheit ausgebildet werden, die als Einheit in die Bohrung des Unterputz-Anschlußstücks einsetzbar ist. Hierbei kann zweckmäßig das Mehrwegeventil mit einem weiteren zweiten Ventil hintereinander angeordnet werden. Die Verschlußglieder beider Ventile der Belüftungseinrichtung werden zweckmäßig als Kugeln ausgebildet.
The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that a special installation of tube aerators is no longer required. In addition, a special pipe aerator housing is no longer required for the individual pipe aerators, since the ventilation device is integrated in the flush-mounted connector. A transverse bore led out laterally from the flush-mounted connecting piece is arranged so as to rise from the bore for receiving the ventilation device, so that if leaks occur in the ventilation device during operation of the fitting, these can be taken up by a drip water drainage channel.
The ventilation device can advantageously be designed as a structural unit which can be used as a unit in the bore of the flush-mounted connecting piece. In this case, the multi-way valve can advantageously be arranged one behind the other with a further second valve. The closure members of both valves of the ventilation device are expediently designed as balls.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann zur sicheren Halterung der Belüftungseinrichtung in der Stecklage in der Bohrung ein Sprengring vorgesehen oder an der Anschlußfläche des Unterputz-Anschlußstücks eine Platte mit Schrauben und Rundschnurringen gedichtet befestigt werden. An der Platte können außerdem Gewindebohrungen vorgesehen werden, in die Spannschrauben für die Befestigung einer Mischventilkartusche einschraubbar sind, so daß eine sichere und dichte Befestigung der Mischventilkartusche gewährleistet ist. Nach einer Abnahme der Mischventilkartusche ist somit die Belüftungseinrichtung für Wartungszwecke einfach zugänglich. Durch die Anordnung der Belüftungseinrichtung stromaufwärts vor einem Wasserverteilventil wird außerdem sichergestellt, daß beide Mischwasseranschlüsse von einer Belüftungseinrichtung abgesichert werden.
Schließlich kann vorteilhaft in dem Unterputz-Anschlußstück der Tropfwasserabflußkanal so ausgebildet werden, dass er in einer Tropfwasserleitung mündet. Das Leckwasser kann dann über die Tropfwasserleitung aus der Gebäudewand heraus zur Rückseite der Abdeckrosette abgeleitet werden.
In a further embodiment of the invention, a snap ring can be provided in the plug-in position in the bore for securely holding the ventilation device or a plate can be fastened in a sealed manner to the connection surface of the flush-mounted connection piece with screws and round cord rings. In addition, threaded holes can be provided on the plate, into which clamping screws can be screwed for fastening a mixing valve cartridge, so that a secure and tight attachment of the mixing valve cartridge is ensured. After removal of the mixing valve cartridge, the ventilation device is easily accessible for maintenance purposes. The arrangement of the ventilation device upstream of a water distribution valve also ensures that both mixed water connections are protected by one ventilation device.
Finally, the drip water drainage channel can advantageously be formed in the flush-mounted connector so that it opens into a drip water pipe. The leakage water can then be drained out of the building wall to the back of the cover rosette via the drip water line.

Von hier kann das Leckwasser durch eine vorgesehene Öffnung an der Unterkante der Rosette abfließen.From here, the leakage water can be provided by a Drain the opening at the bottom edge of the rosette.

Das in Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellte Unterputz-Anschlußstück 1 weist zwei diametral gegenüberliegende waagerechte Anschlüsse 14,15 für das zufließende Kalt- und Warmwasser' auf. Die Anschlüsse 14,15 sind jeweils mit einem Anschlußkanal für Kalt- und Warmwasser 133,134 in einer Platte 13 verbunden. An der Platte 13 ist stirnseitig eine Mischventilkartusche 3 mit Spannschrauben 31, die in Gewindebohrungen 311 einschraubbar sind, befestigbar, wie es insbesondere aus Fig. 1 und 2 der Zeichnung zu entnehmen ist. Das in der Mischventilkartusche 3 erzeugte Mischwasser wird über einen Mischwasseranschlußkanal 135 in der Platte 13 dem Unterputz-Anschlußstück 1 wieder zugeführt, und über die vertikal übereinander angeordneten Mischwasseranschlüsse 16 verschiedenen Verbrauchern zugeleitet.
Die Platte 13 ist mit Schrauben 130 und Dichtringen 131 an einer parallel zur Gebäudewand 100 ausgebildeten Anschlußfläche 10 des Unterputz-Anschlußstücks 1 befestigt, wobei der Mischwasseranschlußkanal 135 in eine von der Anschlußfläche 10 ausgehende Bohrung 11 mündet, in der eine als Baueinheit ausgebildete Belüftungseinrichtung 2 angeordnet ist, wie es insbesondere aus Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist. Die Bohrung 11 ist hierbei waagerecht in dem Unterputz-Anschlußstück 1 ausgebildet und mündet in einer stromabwärts angeordneten Querbohrung 110, die - von der Schnittstelle ausgehend - ansteigend zu beiden Seiten aus dem Unterputz-Anschlußstück 1 herausgeführt ist und somit den stromabwärts gelegenen Bereich der Bohrung 11 mit der Atmosphäre verbindet. An der am tiefsten gelegenen Stelle der Querbohrung 110 ist ein Tropfwasserabflußkanal 12 in dem Unterputzanschlußstück 1 ausgebildet, der in eine ebenfalls mit Gefälle angeordnete Tropfwasserleitung 121 mündet.
The flush-mounted connector 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has two diametrically opposed horizontal connections 14, 15 for the incoming cold and hot water. The connections 14, 15 are each connected to a connection channel for cold and hot water 133, 134 in a plate 13. A mixing valve cartridge 3 with clamping screws 31, which can be screwed into threaded bores 311, can be fastened to the front of the plate 13, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawing. The mixed water generated in the mixing valve cartridge 3 is fed back to the flush-mounted connection piece 1 via a mixed water connection channel 135 in the plate 13, and fed to different consumers via the mixed water connections arranged vertically one above the other.
The plate 13 is fastened with screws 130 and sealing rings 131 to a connection surface 10 of the flush-mounted connection piece 1 which is formed parallel to the building wall 100, the mixed water connection channel 135 opening into a bore 11 starting from the connection surface 10, in which a ventilation device 2 designed as a structural unit is arranged is, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 2. The bore 11 is formed horizontally in the flush-mounted connector 1 and opens into a downstream transverse bore 110, which - starting from the interface - leads out of the flush-mounted connector 1 ascending on both sides and thus the downstream region of the bore 11 connects with the atmosphere. At the lowest point of the transverse bore 110, a drip water drainage channel 12 is formed in the flush-mounted connection piece 1, which opens into a drip water pipe 121 which is also arranged at a slope.

Die Belüftungseinrichtung 2 ist dabei in einem zylindrischen Gehäuse 23 angeordnet, wie es aus Fig. 2 und insbesondere aus Fig. 4 zu entnehmen ist.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Einrichtung hat folgende Funktionsweise: The device described above has the following Functionality:

Das über die Anschlüsse 14,15 zugeführte Kalt- und Warmwasser gelangt über die Anschlußkanäle 133,134 in die Mischventilkartusche, in der mit Hilfe des Betätigungshebels 30 eingestellten Misch- und Mengenstellung Mischwasser erzeugt und über den Mischwasseranschlußkanal 135 in die Bohrung 11 des Unterputz-Anschlußstücks 1 abgegeben wird. Das Mischwasser strömt hierbei axial durch die Zuströmöffnung 203 in das Gehäuse 23 und drückt das kugelförmige Ventilverschlußglied 21 gegen den Ventilsitz 202 und strömt durch die Abströmöffnungen 204 in den Ringraum 1111 und von hier durch den Abflußkanal 111 in die Aufnahmebohrung 118. Je nach Stellung des Wasserverteilventils 4 wird es entweder dem oberen Mischwasseranschluß 16, z. B. zu einer Schlauchbrause, oder über den Verbindungskanal 112 dem unteren Mischwasserauslaß 16, z. B. zu einem Badewanneneinlauf, zugeführt. Tritt nun während eines Wasserzapfvorgangs Unterdruck in den Versorgungsleitungen auf, so wird das kugelförmige Ventilverschlußglied 21 in dem Mehrwegeventil 20 vom Ventilsitz 202 und das kugelförmige Ventilverschlußglied 21 in dem stromabwärts gelegenen Ventil 25 vom Ventilsitz 22 abgehoben und somit eine Verbindung über die Querbohrung 110 mit der Atmosphäre hergestellt. Tritt ein stärkerer Unterdruck in dem Versorgungsleitungsnetz auf, so wird das Ventilverschlußglied 21 im Mehrwegeventil 20 gegen den Ventilsitz 201 gedrückt und verschließt somit den Zugang zu dem Kaltoder Warmwasserleitungsnetz, so daß ein Rücksaugen von Schmutzwasser ausgeschlossen wird. The cold and supplied via the connections 14, 15 Hot water enters through the connection channels 133, 134 in the mixing valve cartridge, in the with the help of the operating lever 30 set mixing and quantity setting Mixed water is generated and via the mixed water connection channel 135 in the bore 11 of the flush-mounted connector 1 is delivered. The mixed water flows axially through the inflow opening 203 into the housing 23 and presses the spherical valve closure member 21 against the valve seat 202 and flows through the outflow openings 204 in the annular space 1111 and from here through the drain channel 111 in the mounting hole 118. Depending on the position of the water distribution valve 4, it will either upper mixed water connection 16, z. B. to a hose shower, or via the connecting channel 112 to the lower one Mixed water outlet 16, e.g. B. to a bathtub spout, fed. Now occurs during a water tap Vacuum in the supply lines, so it will spherical valve closure member 21 in the multi-way valve 20 from valve seat 202 and the spherical valve closure member 21 in the downstream valve 25 lifted off the valve seat 22 and thus a connection via the cross bore 110 with the atmosphere manufactured. A stronger negative pressure occurs in the supply network on, so the valve closure member 21 in the multi-way valve 20 against the valve seat 201 pressed and thus closes the access to the cold or Hot water supply network, so that a suck back of Dirty water is excluded.

Sollte nach einem längeren Betrieb die Belüftungseinrichtung 2 undicht werden oder durch Unterdruckstöße Tropfwasser aus der Belüftungseinrichtung 2 austreten, so gelangt in beiden Fällen das Tropfwasser in den unteren Bereich der Querbohrung 110 und wird von hier unschädlich durch den Tropfwasserabflußkanal 12 und die Tropfwasserleitung 121 aus der Gebäudewand 100 herausgeführt und gelangt unterhalb der Rosette 5 zum Austritt.After a long period of operation, the ventilation device 2 leak or due to vacuum surges Leak drip water from the ventilation device 2, in both cases the dripping water gets into the lower one Area of the transverse bore 110 and becomes harmless from here through the drip water drainage channel 12 and Drip water pipe 121 led out of the building wall 100 and arrives at the outlet below the rosette 5.

Bei dem vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Belüftungseinrichtung 2 waagerecht in der Bohrung 11 im Unterputz-Anschlußstück 1 angeordnet. Selbstverständlich kann die Belüftungseinrichtung 2 auch in einer anderen Lage im Unterputz-Anschlußstück 1 angeordnet werden. Bei dem in Fig. 5 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Belüftungseinrichtung 2 für einen mehr lotrechten Einbau in das Unterputz-Anschlußstück 1 vorgesehen und mit kugelförmigen Ventilverschlußgliedern 21 versehen, die aus einem Werkstoff hergestellt sind, der leichter als Wasser ist, so daß sie im Wasser schwimmen. Hierbei ist es erforderlich, daß in dem stromabwärts gelegenen Ventil 25 das Ventilverschlußglied 21 zusätzlich mit einer Feder 251 gegen den Ventilsitz 22 mit einer bestimmten Vorspannung gedrückt wird. Die Vorspannung kann dabei so ausgelegt werden, daß das Ventilverschlußglied 21 bei atmosphärischem Innendruck im Ventil 25 in Schließstellung gehalten ist. In the embodiment described above the ventilation device 2 is horizontal in the hole 11 arranged in the flush-mounted connector 1. Of course, the ventilation device 2 also in a different position in the flush-mounted connector 1 to be ordered. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is the ventilation device 2 for a more vertical installation in the flush-mounted connector 1 provided and with spherical valve closure members 21 provided from a material are made, which is lighter than water, so that they swim in the water. Here it is necessary that in the downstream valve 25 the valve closure member 21 additionally with a spring 251 against the valve seat 22 pressed with a certain bias becomes. The preload can be designed in this way be that the valve closure member 21 at atmospheric Internal pressure in valve 25 kept in the closed position is.

Bei dieser Anordnung erfährt insbesondere das Ventilverschlußglied 21 in dem Mehrwegeventil 20 von der durchströmenden Wasser einen Auftrieb und wird hierdurch gegen den Ventilsitz 202 gedrückt. Tritt dagege ein Unterdruck in der Zuströmöffnung 203 auf, so wird das Ventilverschlußglied 21 entgegen dem Auftrieb zurückgesogen und gelangt dadurch zur Anlage an den Ventilsitz 201, so daß ein weiteres Rücksaugen unterbunden wird, wobei gleichzeitig eine Verbindung von den Abströmöffnungen 204 zur Atmosphäre über das Ventil 25 hergestellt wird.In this arrangement, the valve closure member experiences in particular 21 in the multi-way valve 20 from the flowing water has a buoyancy and is thereby pressed against the valve seat 202. Kick against it a negative pressure in the inflow opening 203, so the valve closure member 21 is sucked back against the buoyancy and thereby comes into contact with the valve seat 201, so that further sucking back is prevented being, at the same time a connection from the outflow openings 204 to the atmosphere via valve 25 will be produced.
