Definitions

  • the invention is based on a shower head with a shower head housing, from which a jet of water passes through at least one Beam outlet opening of a spray disc emerges.
  • shower heads of this type are available as overhead showers, hand showers and also known as body showers.
  • switch handles are provided on the shower heads, for example a toggle handle.
  • a shower head with an automatic is also known actuated cleaning device in the case of a turbine
  • the cleaning pin is inserted into the jet outlet openings will.
  • the invention is based, one in their use behavior the task to create improved showerhead.
  • the invention proposes a shower head with the features mentioned in claim 1. Training the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
  • the shower head according to the invention a continuous reduction and then again increasing the amount of escaping water causes the reduction and / or Magnification is so slow that the user has this effect can both see and feel.
  • the shower head two groups, each with at least one jet outlet has, wherein for both groups of beam outlet openings its own water supply is available.
  • the quantity change device be designed so that they between the two groups of beam outlets back and forth switched.
  • the Quantity change device for example, in the seconds range switch between the two jet types.
  • One way how the amount of water leaking changes can be, is in the water supply too the jet outlet opening and / or to the group of water outlet openings to arrange a throttle element, in particular the effective cross section of the assigned water supply changed.
  • the drive for the quantity change device can in particular derived from the flowing water, for example by checking the temperature of the shower water in the Usually higher than the ambient temperature, via a Peltier element exploits to generate electrical voltage. This can then be used to drive an electric motor to make the change of the cross section.
  • the quantity change device Turbine wheel that has a mechanical transmission with the throttle element is connected. That way, at simple assembly even in cold water a change of the cross section.
  • the effective one Cross-section of the water flow through the common projection of the two openings in the plane of contact. If the parts are moved so that the openings no longer cover is the effective cross section of the water supply then changed to zero.
  • both are relative to one another movable parts are designed as disks, in particular as flat disks, at least one of which can be rotated is trained.
  • the twist is usually one in cross section circular shower head suitable shape, where both a simple adjustment is given as well as a large one Space is available.
  • the quantity change device can be designed in this way be that when reducing the effective cross section one channel of water the effective cross section the other water channel enlarged. It is done on this So do a gradual switch between the two Water channels and thus also the two groups of jet outlet openings. This can be a particularly pleasant Effect can be achieved, especially when switching between a hard jet and the soft ventilated Beam occurs. In particular, it can also be provided that that switching in one direction is faster than switching in the other direction.
  • the two groups of jet outlet openings arranged concentrically are and one of the two discs each in the circumferential direction running opening for each of the two water channels having.
  • FIG. 1 shows for the sake of simplification only a few parts of a shower head, in the example shown a hand shower.
  • the hand shower contains a housing of which only one housing part 1 is shown.
  • a water inlet for example formed by the inside of a hollow handle can be.
  • the housing part 1 shown has a circular cylindrical Sheath 3 with a free end edge 4, which has an opening forms.
  • the hand shower is assembled in the opening
  • a spray disc is used, which is a variety of jet exit openings.
  • a shaft 5 is formed, on which a turbine wheel 6 is rotatably mounted.
  • the Turbine wheel 6 has individual blades 7, which of the rotating water entering through the water inlet 2 be transferred. The water then flows on the turbine wheel 6 over and from there through the beam outlet openings of the Spray disc to the outside.
  • the turbine wheel 6 has one on the outside of its property 8 Toothing 9 on the axial direction below the turbine wheel 6 lies. With the teeth 9 of the property 8 is a gear 10 is engaged. This gear 10 has two Sprockets on, of which the sprocket with the smaller one Diameter with the toothing 9 of the hub 8 of the turbine wheel 6 is engaged.
  • a first disc element 12 Coaxial to the shaft 5 is in the housing of the shower head a first disc element 12 arranged and rotatably mounted.
  • the disc element is rotatable about the same axis like the turbine wheel 6 mounted.
  • the disc element 12 has on its flat side facing the turbine wheel 6 apron 13 arranged along its circumference.
  • the skirt 13 has a toothing 14 on its radial inside Mistake. The external toothing is provided with this toothing 14 of the larger ring gear 11 of the gear 10 in engagement. A rotation of the turbine wheel therefore leads to a rotation the disk element 12.
  • a second disc element fixed in the housing of the hand shower 15 arranged across its circumference the housing is sealed.
  • Fig. 1 below the second disc element, i.e. in Flow direction downstream of the disc element 15, are by means of schematically indicated coaxial cylinders 16, 17 two separate water channels indicated by the arrows 18 formed to assigned groups of beam exit openings of the spray disks.
  • the water flow inside of the inner cylinder 17 can then be ventilated Beam.
  • Fig. 1 is the distance between the two disc elements 12, 15 shown enlarged.
  • Fig. 2 now shows a plan view of the disc element 12 of the shower according to Fig. 1, i.e. the one first encountered in the direction of flow Disc element 12. At its center is a Opening 19 available for the storage of the disc element 12 serves.
  • the teeth 14 on the inside of the apron 13 is only shown graphically in the upper area. It stretches over the entire inner circumference of the apron 13.
  • the disc element points at a point along a radius 12 in its pane area an opening 20 that everywhere has approximately the same width. That on the turbine wheel 6 flowing water can only through the opening 20 of the Disc element 12 reached further.
  • FIG. 3 shows the top view of the second disc element 15, seen in the direction of flow directly on the first Disk element 12 follows.
  • the disc element 15, that is fixed disc element, has a first opening 21 which extends over almost an entire circumference and those seen from above completely in the space lies between the two cylinders 16, 17. About the scope seen the width measured in the radial direction takes this Opening 21 in the counterclockwise direction of FIG. 3 continuously from.
  • the fixed disc element 15 has a second opening 22, which also extends in the circumferential direction and which are arranged entirely within the inner cylinder 17 is. This second opening also takes measured in the radial direction continuously decreasing in width, in reverse Direction of rotation relative to the opening 21 of the disc element 15.
  • the water can only flow through the opening 20 to the openings 21 and 22.
  • the two disc elements 12, 15 at least in the area of Openings lie close together, the opening cross-section through the overlap area between the opening 20 and the opening 21 or between the opening 20 and the opening 22 determined.
  • the effective cross-section is dependent in this way from the angular position of the rotatable disc 12 opposite the fixed disc 15. With a continuous Rotating the rotatable disc member 12 relative to the fixed disc element 15 is thus reduced, for example the amount of between cylinders 16 and 17 flowing water while the amount of water flowing through the inner Cylinder of flowing water continuously increased.
  • openings 21, 22 and possibly also opening 20 may also have different patterns of reduction and increasing the amount of the two Groups of water outlet jets be effected.
  • a locking device is provided with which the actuator or turbine can be stopped.
  • a Braking to vary the adjustment speed can be done with this facility can also be made.
