Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Spüleinrichtung an einer eine Klosettschüssel aufweisenden Klosettanlage, mit einem Spülwasserbehälter, der einen Verschluss aufweist, welcher zur Auslösung einer Spülung zu öffnen ist.The invention relates to a flushing device on one Toilet bowl with toilet bowl, with a rinsing water tank, which has a closure which for A flush can be triggered.

Spüleinrichtungen dieser Art sind allgemein bekannt. Der Spülwasserbehälter ist bei solchen Spüleinrichtungen ein Spülkasten, in den zum Spülen der Klosettschüssel eine bestimmte Menge Wasser gelagert ist. Beim Öffnen eines Ablaufventils strömt dieses Wasser durch einen Spülbogen in den Klosettring der Klosettschüssel und durch Wasseraustrittsöffnungen dieses Klosettringes in die Klosettschüssel. Solche Spülkästen sind wesentlich geräuschärmer als sogenannte Druckspüler, bei welchen das Spülwasser direkt aus einer Druckleitung in die Klosettschüssel strömt. Spülkästen haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass sie vergleichsweise voluminös sind und entsprechend viel Raum beanspruchen.Flushing devices of this type are generally known. Of the Rinsing water tank is one of such rinsing devices Cistern in which a specific one for flushing the toilet bowl Amount of water is stored. When opening a drain valve this water flows in through a flushing arch the toilet ring of the toilet bowl and through water outlet openings this toilet ring in the toilet bowl. Such cisterns are much quieter than so-called flush valve, in which the rinse water directly flows from a pressure line into the toilet bowl. Cisterns have the disadvantage, however, that they are comparative are voluminous and take up a lot of space.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Spüleinrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, die bei mindestens etwa gleicher Spülwirkung noch geräuschärmer ist und zugleich weniger Raum beansprucht.The invention has for its object a flushing device of the type mentioned, which is at least about the same flushing effect is even quieter and at the same time takes up less space.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Spüleinrichtung dadurch gelöst, dass der Verschluss an den Wasseraustrittsöffnungen der Klosettschüssel angeordnet ist. Bei der erfindungsgemässen Spüleinrichtung befindet sich der Verschluss nicht wie üblich im Boden eines Spülkastens, sondern an den Wasseraustrittsöffnungen der Klosettschüssel. Bei der erfindungsgemässen Spüleinrichtung ist somit der Verschluss in Spülrichtung gesehen weiter unten in die Klosettschüssel verlegt. Der Klosettring bildet damit ebenfalls einen Bereich des Wasserbehälters und nimmt entsprechend einen Teil des erforderlichen Spülwassers auf. Der Kasten für das Spülwasser kann entsprechend dieser Menge kleiner und damit platzsparender ausgebildet sein. Da der Klosettring bereits vor der Auslösung einer Spülung mit Spülwasser gefüllt ist, werden die bisher unvermeidbaren Luftgeräusche beim Einströmen des Spülwassers in den Klosettring vermieden. Die erfindungsgemässe Spüleinrichtung ermöglicht deshalb eine wesentliche weitere Senkung der Geräuschbildung beim Spülen.The task is with a generic flushing device solved by the closure at the water outlet openings the toilet bowl is arranged. In the The flushing device according to the invention is the closure not in the bottom of a cistern as usual, but at the water outlet openings of the toilet bowl. In the flushing device according to the invention, the Closure seen in the flushing direction further down in the toilet bowl relocated. The toilet ring thus also forms an area of the water tank and takes accordingly part of the required rinse water. Of the Box for the rinse water can according to this amount be made smaller and thus more space-saving. Since the Toilet ring even before a flush is triggered Rinse water is filled, the previously unavoidable Air noise when the flushing water flows into the toilet ring avoided. The flushing device according to the invention therefore enables a significant further reduction in noise generation when rinsing.

Bei der erfindungsgemässen Spüleinrichtung ist ein Spülbogen nicht erforderlich. Dadurch wird der bisher unvermeidliche Energieverlust im Spülbogen vermieden. Bei geringerer Wasserdruckhöhe kann damit bei der erfindungsgemässen Spüleinrichtung die gleiche Spülwirkung erreicht werden.In the flushing device according to the invention there is a flushing bow not mandatory. This makes the previously inevitable Avoided loss of energy in the flushing bow. With less Water pressure level can thus with the flushing device according to the invention the same rinsing effect can be achieved.

Eine besonders kompakte und raumsparende Spüleinrichtung ergibt sich nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung dann, wenn der Spülwasserbehälter mit einem Klosettring eine Einheit bildet. Ist gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung der Klosettring als Klosettsitz ausgebildet, so ergibt sich eine kostengünstige Herstellung und zugleich auch eine einfache Montage. Der Klosettsitz bildet dann somit einen Teil des Wasserbehälters und kann mit diesem auf der Klosettschüssel montiert werden. Möglich ist jedoch auch eine Ausführung, bei welcher der Klosettring ein Bestandteil der Klosettschüssel ist. Dieser Ring kann aus Keramik bestehen oder auch ein aufgesetzter Ring aus Kunststoff sein.A particularly compact and space-saving flushing device According to a further development of the invention, if the flushing water tank with a toilet ring is one unit forms. According to a further development of the invention the toilet ring is designed as a toilet seat, results in an inexpensive manufacture and at the same time a simple one Assembly. The toilet seat then forms a part of the water container and can be used on the toilet bowl to be assembled. However, an execution is also possible, in which the toilet ring is part of the Toilet bowl is. This ring can be made of ceramic or an attached ring made of plastic.

Ein besonders vorteilhafter Verschluss für die Wasseraustrittsöffnungen ergibt sich dann, wenn dieser eine Membran aufweist, die an den Austrittsöffnungen des Spülwasserbehälters anliegt und zur Auslösung der Spülung von diesen Öffnungen abhebbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist diese Membran schlauchförmig ausgebildet und erstreckt sich in den Klosettring der Klosettschüssel. Eine besonders einfache Betätigung des Verschlusses ist dann gewährleistet, wenn die Membran an eine Wasserleitung anschliessbar und mit Leitungswasser füllbar sowie für den Verschluss der Austrittsöffnungen aufweitbar ist. Beim Auslösen einer Spülung wird dann der Druck in dieser schlauchartigen Membran erniedrigt. Dies erfolgt vorzugsweise mit einem Ventil, mit dem in der einen Stellung die Membran mit der Wasserleitung und in einer anderen Stellung mit der Umgebungsluft verbunden ist.A particularly advantageous closure for the water outlet openings arises when this is a membrane has that at the outlet openings of the rinsing water tank is present and to trigger the flushing of these Openings can be lifted. This membrane is preferably tubular and extends into the toilet ring the toilet bowl. A particularly simple operation the closure is guaranteed when the Membrane can be connected to a water pipe and with tap water fillable and for closing the outlet openings is expandable. When triggering a rinse the pressure in this tubular membrane is then reduced. This is preferably done with a valve, with in the one position the membrane with the water pipe and connected to the ambient air in a different position is.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird der Spülwasserbehälter durch einen ringförmigen Bereich und einen kastenförmigen Bereich gebildet, wobei ein Teil des Spülwassers im ringförmigen Bereich und ein Teil des Spülwassers im kastenförmigen Bereich gelagert ist und beide Bereiche miteinander verbunden sind. Der ringförmige Bereich bildet den Klosettring und der kastenförmige Bereich ist vorzugsweise am hinteren Ende dieses Ringes angebracht. Da ein wesentlicher Teil des Spülwassers sich im ringförmigen Bereich befindet, ist der kastenförmige Bereich wesentlich niedriger ausgebildet als ein üblicher Spülkasten. Dieser ringförmige Bereich kann aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden und kann den oberen Rand der Klosettschüssel bilden. Da in diesem Fall der Klosettring der Klosettschüssel nicht aus Keramik hergestellt werden muss, lässt sich eine solche Klosettschüssel wesentlich einfacher und kostengünstiger herstellen. Der Klosettrand und der Klosettring sowie der Klosettsitz können dann somit durch den ringförmigen Bereich des Spülwasserbehälters gebildet werden.According to a development of the invention, the rinse water tank through an annular region and a box-shaped one Area formed, with part of the rinse water in the ring-shaped area and part of the rinsing water in the box-shaped Area is stored and both areas together are connected. The annular area forms the Toilet ring and the box-shaped area is preferred attached to the back of this ring. Because an essential Part of the rinse water is in the ring-shaped area, the box-shaped area is much lower designed as a normal cistern. This ring-shaped The area can be made of plastic and can cover the form the upper edge of the toilet bowl. Because in this case the toilet ring of the toilet bowl is not made of ceramic such a toilet bowl can be produce much easier and cheaper. The toilet rim and the toilet ring as well as the toilet seat can then through the annular area of the rinse water tank be formed.

  • Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Klosettanlage 1 mit einer Spüleinrichtung 2 und einem Keramikteil 3, der wie an sich üblich einen Fuss 8, einen Siphon 6 mit Siphonwasser 9 sowie einen Abgangsstutzen 7 aufweist. Der Keramikteil 3 weist eine schüsselförmige Wandung 5 mit einer Innenseite 5a auf, die mit der Spüleinrichtung 2 gespült werden kann, wobei das Spülwasser entlang der Innenseite 5a in Richtung der Pfeile 42 nach unten zum Siphon 6 fliesst. Der Siphon 6 wird hier in bekannter Weise entleert und anschliessend wieder nachgefüllt.FIG. 1 shows a toilet system 1 with a flushing device 2 and a ceramic part 3, which as usual per se a foot 8, a siphon 6 with siphon water 9 and one Has outlet connection 7. The ceramic part 3 has one bowl-shaped wall 5 with an inside 5a that can be rinsed with the rinsing device 2, which Rinse water along the inside 5a in the direction of the arrows 42 flows down to siphon 6. The siphon 6 will emptied here in a known manner and then again refilled.

    Die Spüleinrichtung 2 ist auf einen oberen Rand 43 des Keramikteils 3 aufgesetzt und bildet gemäss den Figuren 2 bis 4 eine Einheit, die im wesentlichen aus einem Kasten 10 und einem ringförmigen Sitz 22 besteht. Der Kasten 10 und der Sitz 22 sind über einen kurzen Kanal 21 miteinander verbunden. Wie insbesondere die Figur 3 zeigt, sind an der Unterseite des Sitzes 22 im Abstand zueinander mehrere Spülöffnungen 26 angebracht. Diese Öffnungen 26 sind wie ersichtlich über die ganze Unterseite 24 des Sitzes 22 verteilt. Die Spülöffnungen 26 können runde, insbesondere kreisrunde Öffnungen oder auch Schlitze sein.The rinsing device 2 is on an upper edge 43 of the ceramic part 3 placed and forms according to Figures 2 to 4 a unit consisting essentially of a box 10 and there is an annular seat 22. The box 10 and the Seat 22 are connected to one another via a short channel 21. As particularly shown in Figure 3, are on the bottom of the seat 22 at a distance from each other several rinsing openings 26 attached. These openings 26 can be seen distributed over the entire bottom 24 of the seat 22. The flushing openings 26 can be round, in particular circular Openings or slots.

    Die Spülöffnungen 26 sind gemäss den Figuren 5 und 6 mit einem Kanal 25 verbunden, der sich im Inneren des Sitzes 22 in Umfangsrichtung erstreckt und der über den Kanal 21 mit einem Innenraum 44 des Kastens 10 verbunden ist. Diese Öffnungen 26 sind mit einer schlauchförmigen Membran 19 eines Verschlussorgans 18 verschliessbar. Die Öffnungen 26 bilden somit mit dem Verschlussorgan 18 einen Verschluss, welcher den Innenraum des Kanals 25 nach aussen verschliesst. Die Membran 19 bildet einen Ring 19b, der an einem hinteren Ende des Sitzes 22 über ein Schlauchstück 19a zu einem Spülventil 17 führt, welches gemäss Figur 4 im Inneren des Kastens 10 angeordnet ist. Die Membran 19 beansprucht lediglich einen vergleichsweise kleinen Teil des Kanals 25. Dieser Kanal 25 nimmt einen wesentlichen Teil des Spülwassers 45 auf, wie dies in Figur 5 angedeutet ist. Der andere Teil des Spülwassers 45 befindet sich im Innenraum 44 des Kastens 10. Beide Spülwassermengen sind über dem Kanal 21 miteinander verbunden.The flushing openings 26 are in accordance with FIGS. 5 and 6 connected to a channel 25, which is located inside the seat 22nd extends in the circumferential direction and with the channel 21 an interior 44 of the box 10 is connected. These openings 26 are with a tubular membrane 19 one Closure member 18 lockable. Form the openings 26 thus with the closure member 18 a closure, which closes the interior of the channel 25 to the outside. The Membrane 19 forms a ring 19b at a rear end the seat 22 via a hose piece 19a to a flushing valve 17 leads, which according to Figure 4 inside the box 10 is arranged. The membrane 19 only claims a comparatively small part of channel 25. This Channel 25 takes a substantial part of the rinse water 45 on, as indicated in Figure 5. The other Part of the rinse water 45 is in the interior 44 of the Box 10. Both amounts of rinse water are above channel 21 connected with each other.

    Das Spülventil 17 ist über eine Leitung 16 mit einer Leitung 14 verbunden, die über Ventil 15 mit einem aus dem Gehäuse 20 des Kastens 10 herausragenden Ende 11 verbunden ist. Dieses Ende 11 wird gemäss Figur 1 in üblicher Weise mit einem Eckventil 4 einer Versorgungsleitung 46 verbunden. Zur Betätigung des Spülventils 17 ist an diesem beispielsweise eine Taste 31 angebracht, die gemäss Figur 2 von der Aussenseite des Kastens 10 zugänglich ist und zur Spülauslösung nach unten gedrückt wird. Es sind aber auch andere mechanische oder auch elektrische Auslösungen beispielsweise eine Fernauslösung denkbar.The purge valve 17 is connected to a line via a line 16 14 connected via valve 15 with one from the housing 20 of the box 10 projecting end 11 connected is. This end 11 is according to Figure 1 in the usual way connected to a corner valve 4 of a supply line 46. To actuate the purge valve 17 is, for example a key 31 is attached, which according to FIG is accessible from the outside of the box 10 and for Flush trigger is pressed down. But there are also other mechanical or electrical triggers, for example remote triggering conceivable.

    Das Spülventil 17 weist gemäss den Figuren 7 und 8 ein Gehäuse 29 auf, in dem ein Ventilkörper 30 gelagert ist. Am oberen Ende des Ventilkörpers 30 ist die Taste 31 und an einem unteren Ende ist eine Rückstellfeder 34 angebracht. Die Rückstellung des Ventilkörpers 30 erfolgt in an sich bekannter Weise durch Selbstschluss, wie beispielsweise gemäss der CH-A-588 658. In der in Figur 7 gezeigten Position verbindet einen Durchgang 33, die Leitung 16 mit dem Verschlussorgan 18. Die Membran 19 ist somit in dieser Stellung des Spülventils 17 mit der Leitung 16 verbunden und mit Druckwasser aus der Versorgungsleitung 46 gefüllt. Im Innern der Membran 19 besteht somit ein Wasserdruck, der die Membran in einer in Figur 5 angedeuteten aufgeweiteten Stellung hält. Im Querschnitt ist der ringförmige Bereich der Membran 19 somit beispielsweise etwa kreisrund, wie dies in Figur 5 mit ausgezogenen Linien gezeigt ist. Die Membran 19 ist oberseitig an mehreren im Kanal 25 angeordneten Ansätzen 47 abgestützt und dichtet aufgrund ihres Innendruckes die Spülöffnungen 26 an innenseitig angeordneten Ventilsitzen 27 ab. Der Ventilkörper 30 wird durch die Feder 34 in der in Figur 7 gezeigten Stellung gehalten. Das Einlaufventil 12 ist ebenfalls über die Leitung 14 mit der Versorgungsleitung 46 verbunden.The flush valve 17 has a housing according to FIGS. 7 and 8 29, in which a valve body 30 is mounted.

In cross section is the annular area the membrane 19 thus, for example, approximately circular, such as this is shown in Figure 5 with solid lines. The Membrane 19 is arranged on the top side of a plurality of channels 25 Approaches 47 supported and seals due to their internal pressure the flushing openings 26 arranged on the inside Valve seats 27 from. The valve body 30 is by the spring 34 held in the position shown in Figure 7. The Inlet valve 12 is also via line 14 with the Supply line 46 connected.

    Zur Spülauslösung wird der Ventilkörper 30 mittels der Taste 31 nach unten gegen die Kraft der Feder 34 in die in Figur 8 gezeigte Stellung bewegt. In dieser ist die Membran 19 über einen Verbindungskanal 32 mit einem nach aussen offenen Stutzen 48 des Gehäuses 29 verbunden. Der Innendruck in der Membran 19 wird dadurch gesenkt, da die Membran 19 nicht mehr mit der Leitung 16 verbunden ist. Aufgrund der Elastizität der Membran 19 geht der ringförmige Bereich 19b in eine Form zurück, in welcher der Querschnitt wesentlich verkleinert ist und in welcher die Spülöffnungen 26 gegenüber dem Kanal 25 nicht mehr abgedichtet sind, wie dies Figur 6 zeigt. In der Figur 6 ist die entspannte Position der Membran 19 in ausgezogenen Linien gezeigt. Die gestrichelten Linien zeigen hier die gespannte und abdichtende Membran 19. Da nun die Spülöffnungen 26 frei sind, fliesst das Spülwasser 45 bei diesen Öffnungen 26 in Richtung der Pfeile 49 nach unten und in die Schüssel 5 der Keramik 3. Der Spülvorgang ist beendet, wenn das Spülwasser 45 vollständig in die Schüssel 5 ausgeströmt ist und somit der Kanal 25 als auch der Innenraum 44 des Kastens 10 geleert sind. Die Menge dieses Spülwassers beträgt beispielsweise 6 Liter oder weniger. Nach der Spülung leitet ein Schwimmer 13 des Einlaufventils 12 das Nachfüllen der Spüleinrichtung 2 mit Spülwasser ein. Gleichzeitig geht der Ventilkörper 30 wieder in die in Figur 7 gezeigte Stellung zurück und durch die Verbindung der Membran 19 mit der Leitung 16 wird diese Membran 19 wieder aufgebläht und verschliesst die Spülöffnungen 26. Sobald der Kanal 25 und der Kasten 10 mit Spülwasser 45 nachgefüllt sind, verschliesst der Schwimmer 13 das Einlaufventil 12. Die Spüleinrichtung 2 ist damit für eine weitere Spülung wieder bereit.To trigger flushing, the valve body 30 is activated by means of the button 31 down against the force of the spring 34 in the Figure 8 position shown moves. In this is the membrane 19 via a connecting channel 32 with an open to the outside Connection 48 of the housing 29 connected. The inside pressure in the membrane 19 is thereby lowered since the membrane 19 is no longer connected to line 16. Due to the The elasticity of the membrane 19 is the annular area 19b back into a shape in which the cross section is essential is reduced and in which the flushing openings 26 opposite the channel 25 are no longer sealed, as this figure 6 shows. In Figure 6, the relaxed position is the Diaphragm 19 shown in solid lines. The dashed Lines here show the tensioned and sealing membrane 19. Since the flushing openings 26 are now free, this flows Rinse water 45 at these openings 26 in the direction of the arrows 49 down and into the bowl 5 of the ceramic 3. The Rinsing is complete when the rinse water 45 is complete has flowed into the bowl 5 and thus the channel 25 and the interior 44 of the box 10 are emptied. The The amount of this rinsing water is, for example, 6 liters Or less. After rinsing, a float 13 directs the Inlet valve 12 with the refilling of the flushing device 2 Rinse water. At the same time, the valve body 30 goes again back to the position shown in Figure 7 and through the connection of the membrane 19 to the line 16 becomes this Membrane 19 inflated again and closes the flushing openings 26. Once the channel 25 and the box 10 with rinse water 45 are refilled, the float closes 13 the inlet valve 12. The flushing device 2 is now ready for another rinse.

    Die Spüleinrichtung 2 wird getrennt von der Keramik 3 als Einheit im wesentlichen aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Die Sitzfläche 22 wird auf den oberen Rand 43 der Keramik 3 aufgesetzt und mit hier nicht gezeigten Befestigungsmitteln befestigt. An der Spüleinrichtung 2 kann gleichzeitig ein hier nicht gezeigter Deckel angebracht sein, welcher die Öffnung des Sitzes 22 abdeckt. Dieser Deckel liegt hierbei auf der Oberseite 23 des Sitzes 22 auf. Der Sitz 22 ersetzt damit den üblichen Klosettring, welcher bei den bekannten Klosettanlagen den oberen Rand der Keramik 3 bilden.The flushing device 2 is separated from the ceramic 3 as Unit essentially made of plastic. The Seat 22 is on the upper edge 43 of the ceramic 3rd put on and with fasteners not shown here attached. At the flushing device 2 can be a here not shown cover attached, which the Opening of the seat 22 covers. This cover is here on the top 23 of the seat 22. The seat 22 replaced thus the usual toilet ring, which in the known Toilet facilities form the upper edge of the ceramic 3.

    Die Figuren 9 und 10 zeigen eine Ausführung, bei welcher das Verschlussorgan 18 in einem Kanal 36 der Klosettschüssel 35 verläuft. Der Kanal 36 bildet hier einen angeformten Bereich und damit den oberen Rand der Keramikschüssel 35. Entsprechend sind in diesen Rand unterseitig mehrere Spülöffnungen 37 angebracht, die den Öffnungen 26 entsprechen. Das Verschlussorgan 18 erstreckt sich über den ganzen Bereich des Kanals 36 und arbeitet wie oben, um die Öffnungen 37 zu verschliessen bzw. zur Spülung freizugeben. Wie die Figur 10 zeigt, ist das Verschlussorgan 18 an einem Stutzen 40 des Kastens 10 in diesen hineingeführt. Zum Anschluss des Stutzens 40 an den Kanal 36 besitzt die Schüssel 35 an einem hinteren Ende ein Öffnung 39, durch welche der Stutzen 40 eingeführt ist. Der Stutzen 40 ist mit hier nicht gezeigten Mitteln dicht mit dem Kanal 36 verbunden.Figures 9 and 10 show an embodiment in which the closure member 18 in a channel 36 of the toilet bowl 35 runs. The channel 36 forms a molded one here Area and thus the upper edge of the ceramic bowl 35th Accordingly, there are several on the underside in this margin Rinsing openings 37 are attached, which correspond to the openings 26. The closure member 18 extends over the whole Area of channel 36 and operates as above to the openings 37 to be closed or released for rinsing. How 10 shows the closure member 18 on one Stub 40 of the box 10 inserted into this. For connection of the nozzle 40 to the channel 36 has the bowl 35 at an rear end an opening 39 through which the nozzle 40 is inserted. The nozzle 40 is here means not shown tightly connected to the channel 36.
