Definitions

  • the invention is based on a shower head with a shower head housing, from the one water jet through at least one Beam outlet opening of a jet disc emerges.
  • shower heads of this type are as overhead showers, handheld showers and also known as body showers.
  • switching handles are provided on the shower heads, For example, a toggle handle.
  • the invention is based on the object, one in their behavior to create an improved shower.
  • the invention proposes a shower head with the features mentioned in claim 1. further developments
  • the invention are the subject of subclaims.
  • the shower head two groups, each with at least one jet outlet opening has, wherein for both groups of jet outlet openings There is a separate water supply.
  • the quantity changing device be designed so that they are between the two groups of jet outlets hinund toggles.
  • the Quantity change device so for example in the seconds range switch between the two spray types.
  • the quantity change device has a Turbine wheel on top of that with a mechanical gearbox is connected to the throttle element. This can be done at simple construction a change of the cross section.
  • the throttle element two relatively movable, each with at least one Opening provided with discs, at least in the area the openings abut each other. It then becomes the effective Cross section of the water flow through the joint projection the two openings determined in the plane of contact. When 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 discs are formed as flat discs, of which at least one rotatable is trained.
  • the twist is one at a usually in cross section circular shower head suitable form in both a simple adjustment is given as well as a big one Area is available.
  • the quantity change device can be designed in this way be that they reduce the effective cross-section the one water guide the effective cross section the other water supply increased. It takes place on this Thus, a gradual switch between the two Water channels and thus 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 one Beam takes place. It can also be provided in particular that the switching in one direction is faster as switching in the other direction.
  • the two groups of jet outlet openings arranged concentrically are and both discs one each in the circumferential direction running opening for each of the two water channels exhibit.
  • the section of Fig. 1 shows for reasons of simplicity only some parts of a shower head, in the example shown a hand shower.
  • the hand shower contains a housing, of which only a housing part 1 is shown.
  • a water inlet for example formed by the interior of a hollow handle can be.
  • the illustrated housing part 1 has a circular cylindrical Mantle 3 with a free end edge 4, which has an opening forms. In the opening becomes the assembly of the hand shower For example, a jet disk used, the a variety having jet outlet 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 through the water inlet 2 entering water in rotary motion be offset. The water then flows on the turbine wheel 6 over and from there through the jet outlets of the Jet disk to the outside.
  • the turbine wheel 6 has on the outside of its hub 8 a Gearing 9, which in the axial direction below the turbine wheel 6 lies. With the teeth 9 of the hub 8 is a gear 10 is engaged.
  • This gear 10 has two Sprockets on, of which the sprocket with the smaller Diameter with the teeth 9 of the hub 8 of the turbine wheel 6 is engaged.
  • a first disc element 12 Coaxial with the shaft 5 is in the housing of the shower head a first disc element 12 is arranged and rotatably supported.
  • the disc element is rotatable about the same axis as the turbine wheel 6 stored.
  • the disk element 12 has on its the turbine wheel 6 facing flat side a skirt 13 arranged along its circumference.
  • the skirt 13 is on its radial inside with a toothing 14th Provided. With this toothing 14 is the external teeth of the larger ring gear 11 of the gear 10 in engagement. A rotation of the turbine wheel therefore leads to a rotation of the disk element 12.
  • a second disc element 15 arranged along its circumference sealed to the housing.
  • Fig. 1 below the second disc element, i. in Flow direction downstream of the disk element 15, are by schematically indicated coaxial cylinders 16, 17 two separate, indicated by the arrows 18 water channels formed, the associated groups of jet outlet openings the jet discs lead.
  • the water supply within of the inner cylinder 17 can then be vented Beam lead.
  • FIG. 2 now shows a plan view of the disk element 12 of FIG shower according to Fig. 1, i. the first encountered in the direction of flow Disc element 12. At its center is a Opening 19 is present, for storage of the disc element 12 serves.
  • the toothing 14 on the inside of the skirt 13th is shown graphically only in the upper area. It stretches over the entire inner circumference of the skirt 13.
  • the disk element At a location along a radius, the disk element has 12 in its disc area an opening 20 on everywhere has approximately the same width.
  • the on the turbine wheel. 6 passing water can only through the opening 20 of the Disc element 12 on.
  • FIG. 3 shows the top view of the second disc element 15, seen in the flow direction directly to the first Disc element 12 follows.
  • the disk element 15, so the fixed disc element, has a first opening 21st which extends over almost an entire circumference and seen in the supervision completely in the gap between the two cylinders 16, 17 is located.
  • About the scope seen decreases in the radial direction measured width of 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 is completely disposed within the inner cylinder 17 is. This second opening also measures in the radial direction in their width continuously, in reverse Direction of rotation with respect to the opening 21 of the disc element 15th
  • the water can only through the opening 20 to the openings 21 and 22 flow.
  • the two disc elements 12, 15 at least in the region of Apertures close to each other, the opening cross-section through the coverage area between the opening 20 and the opening 21 or between the opening 20 and the opening 22 determined. You can tell that, depending on your position of the disk element 12, the width of the cover different is.
  • the effective cross section will be dependent in this way from the angular position of the rotatable disk 12 opposite the fixed disc 15. In a continuous Circulation of the rotatable disc element 12 relative to the fixed disk element 15 thus reduces, for example the amount of between the cylinders 16 and 17th while the amount of water flowing through the interior Cylinder of flowing water continuously increased.
  • the opening 20 may also have different patterns of reduction and increase the amount of the two Groups of jet outlet openings leaking water be effected.
  • a locking device is provided with the servomotor or turbine can be stopped.
  • a Braking for variation of the adjustment speed can with this device also be made.
