Definitions
- the invention relates to a sanitary object, in particular a hand shower, with a switching device for influencing a liquid flow.
- a for this purpose provided air intake device has at least one can be connected to the liquid inlet pump jet opening, the opens into a pump chamber, which has at least one air supply channel can be connected to the environment.
- the through the pump jet opening leaking fluid entrains air that mixed with the liquid and together with this For example, as a soft, sparkling water jet outlet exit. It is in the pump room or the air supply channel creates a negative pressure, sucked through the air will, as long as liquid with sufficient speed through the pump jet port and the air supply passage is open.
- Permanent devices of this kind are, for example in so-called water jet aerators or jet regulators, which are attached to the outlet end of taps can.
- air suction devices are also known, such as those disclosed in US Pat 5 154 355 described overhead showers.
- the patent CH-A 473 573 shows a hand shower, in the a water jet pump with a device for injection additional substances in the flowing liquid such combined is that both devices simultaneously on or can be switched off.
- a sliding water supply which is a Venturi tube-like Has constriction into which an injection line opens, the with a pantry for a detergent in Can be connected.
- the movable water supply forms with its outlet end the pump jet opening. It is in a cylindrical channel of the handle slidably guided, in the area of the pump jet opening Having radial air supply openings through Axial displacement of the displaceable water supply line optionally can be covered or released.
- a Position with released air inlet openings is the Injection channel in connection with the detergent supply, which sucked in the area of the constriction detergent becomes.
- the downstream water jet pump Air supplied to foam In the area of the downstream water jet pump Air supplied to foam.
- the hand shower known from CH-A 686 409 has a handle a water supply line with a pump jet opening forming Flow restrictor nozzle expanding in one Pump room leads to a conically enlarged pressure build-up and mixing room connects. In the pump room also opens an external air supply line, whose located at the bottom of the handle inlet opening per Can be closed by hand or by means of a slider.
- the Hand shower should despite reduced water consumption one form strong and tingling water-jet, whose water flow rate regardless of the example by a slider adjustable amount of air supplied relative should remain the same.
- the invention has for its object to provide a sanitary object, in particular a hand shower with a switching device to create, which results in an improved use.
- the invention proposes a switching device with the features of claim 1 before.
- An inventive sanitary object is characterized in that that between a liquid inlet and liquid outlet the switching device formed passage cross-section for the liquid at shutdown of the air intake is expandable. So it can be switched on Water jet pump or air intake a smaller Designauerrumble be set as when switched off Air suction. This can be in the intake position a water saving effect can be achieved.
- the compared to the shutdown position smaller passage cross-section can also a flow acceleration of the liquid flowing through be used, which has a strong pumping or suction allows. As a result, in the intake position on the outlet side a strongly air-mixed, soft-feeling Liquid flow can be generated.
- the ratio of large to small flow area can more than 1.1 or 1.2, in particular between about 1.3 and about 3, for example between 2 and 3.
- the flow paths and passage cross sections are preferably sized that with activated water jet pump less than about 60% to 80%, for example, between 1/3 and 2/3, in particular About half of the water jet pump switched off flowing water flows.
- Such Switching option between an optionally hard massage jet and a water-saving, relaxing-looking, Bubbling soft jet can be especially in hand showers or permanently installed showers significantly increase showering comfort, as a user depending on the mood or need between two distinct beam hardnesses can choose without changing the beam type at the same time will need.
