Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for conditioning rinsing liquid in sanitary Facilities by placing a subset of each in a pan in each flush stored liquid conditioning substance is entered into the rinsing liquid, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the conditioning substance can be disinfectant and / or air-improving and / or cleaning and / or coloring liquid active ingredients act as they are on the market Are available.
  • Known devices of the generic type include those in which the Conditioning substance over a soakable, permanent or with the rinsing liquid Intermittent element, e.g. added from an open-cell foam and those where the addition is based on a siphon effect.
  • Conditioning devices of the first type mentioned are e.g. in EP-B-0 538 957 or EP-A-785315 described.
  • the capillary pathways that contain the conditioning substance from a Storage vessel must cover up to the pending rinsing liquid, what are relatively long can easily render the device unusable by clogging the capillary paths can. Another consequence of this is that the amount dosed in the rinsing liquid Conditioning substance may initially be set too high, which if necessary with a undesirable environmental pollution.
  • conditioning devices e.g. are known from DE-A-2916385, mainly conditioning substances in solid form can and is used it is hardly possible to dispense the conditioning substance evenly with each rinse guaranteed.
  • a conditioning device (DE-A-19520145), the one contains a filling space of the device filling substance of pasty consistency. The Flushing liquid is passed over the surface of the filling with each flushing process in order to entrain a small amount of the pasty substance. It is not just measures against unwanted sump formation is also necessary Adjust the viscosities of the substances reacting with each other to make a to get approximately uniform release of active ingredient.
  • Fluctuations in the strength of the Flushing liquid flow as can occur for a variety of reasons, also have one uneven, possibly interrupted release of conditioning substance, so that it is not guaranteed that the metered amount of conditioning substance from the rinsing process for rinsing is always the same.
  • the invention has for its object a structurally simple design To provide a conditioning device for dispensing liquid conditioning substances, which with every rinsing process a uniform, time-controlled release of active ingredient in the Irrigation liquid guaranteed regardless of the strength of the prevailing rinsing flow.
  • the Amount of conditioning substance added to the rinsing liquid with each rinsing process can be precisely specified by an outlet opening of a pantry for the Conditioning substance with each rinsing process specifically over a period of time during which a Collecting container for the rinsing liquid is filled, opened and at the end of the rinsing process Elapse of one of the passage capacity of an emptying opening of the collecting vessel is locked again at a certain time.
  • For triggering a substance delivery is not that Strength or duration of the respective rinsing liquid flow, but the filling of the Decisive receptacle. The e.g.
  • the amount of conditioning substance released can be finer according to one Further development of the invention can be further evened out in that it is the volume a space not occupied by the sealing element inside a prechamber corresponds to the pantry, which in the closed position of the sealing element with the Conditioning substance is filled and emptied in the release position. A swamp formation is avoided in the device since no liquid remains after a rinsing process.
  • the device allows easy refilling with liquid conditioning substance. It is therefore characterized by a particularly favorable usability and also by a simple inexpensive manufacturing option.
  • the conditioning device according to the invention is composed of one in FIG. 2 with the general reference number 1 indicated base or lower part and one with the general reference number 2 indicated upper or lid part, which by the circumference Both parts provided, engageable locking means 3 releasably together can be connected.
  • a bracket 4 for clamping the device can be attached to the cover part 2 an edge of a toilet bowl or the like.
  • the base part 1 and cover part 2 are preferably molded parts made of a suitable plastic material, such as a polyolefin. Other materials can also be used.
  • the base part 1 defines a storage chamber 5 for receiving an amount Conditioning substance, which via a filling opening 6 in the lid part 2, cf. Fig. 2, in the Storage chamber 5 can be filled without the cover part 2 having to be lifted off.
  • a suitable, e.g. central point of the underside of the bottom wall 7 of the base part 1 protrudes circumferentially of an opening 10 made in the bottom wall 7, a sealing flange-like extension 8 that creates an unspecified antechamber.
  • the opening 10 forms an inlet in the antechamber or a connection between it and the pantry 5.
  • the lower free end region of the extension 8 is curved inward like a sealing lip and forms on the inside of the neck 8 a first or lower annular sealing surface 9 with which a Approach 8 recorded spherical sealing element 11 engage in sealing engagement can to an outlet opening 12 delimited by the annular sealing surface 9 To close the antechamber.
  • the sealing element 11 is freely movable in the antechamber added and can with a second or upper annular sealing surface 13 which the Inlet or surrounds the opening 10 in sealing engagement to the opening 10 to close when the sealing element 11 under a force from the sealing engagement with the lower sealing surface 9 has been moved out, which is generally indicated by 14 in FIG indicated actuating element can be exerted on the sealing element 11.
  • the sealing member 11 becomes in the sealing relationship shown in Figs Sealing surface 9 along the outlet opening 12 due to its own weight and the Sealing element 11 acting gradient pressure in the storage chamber 5 Amount of conditioning substance kept.
  • Fig. 2 shows the structure of the actuating element 14.
  • the actuating element 14 is basically in the manner of a rocker with an arm region that can be pivoted about an axis of rotation 15 16 on one side of the axis of rotation 15 (on the right in FIG. 2) and an arm region in the form of a Collection vessel 19 formed on the other side (left side) of the axis of rotation 15.
  • the axis of rotation 15 can, as Fig. 1 shows, between opposite wall sections of a secondary chamber 18 forming pocket-shaped projection 17 of the conditioning device, which is provided on the outside of the storage chamber 5 on the base part 1, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the secondary chamber 18 is open at the top, so that part of a rinsing liquid in one from the rinsing liquid stream falling above the conditioning device, cf. arrows Sp in Fig. 3, in the sub-chamber 18 can get into each flushing to Fill the receptacle 19 of the actuating element 14.
  • the left-hand region of the actuator 14 exerts a downward force that the right arm portion 16 moves up to the sealing member 11 from the sealing engagement with the first or lower sealing surface 9 and in sealing engagement to move with the upper or second sealing surface 13 of the neck 8.
  • the opening 10 will consequently closed during each rinsing process and the outlet opening 12 of the attachment 8 Approved. Under these circumstances, the free space between the sealing element 11 and the interior of the approach 8 existing conditioning substance via the outlet opening 12 step outside and mix with the flushing liquid flow, cf. Arrows K in Fig. Third
  • the collecting vessel 19 is constantly emptied a throttle bore 20 takes place at a lower area in the wall of the collecting vessel 19th is provided so that when a rinsing process ends in the receptacle 19 remaining Flushing liquid is gradually discharged to the outside and thereby onto the sealing element 11 exerted force is released. As a result, the sealing member 11 comes after each Flushing process back into the relationship sealing the outlet opening 12.
  • the force exerted on the actuating element 14 during a flushing process is made up of a dynamic component in the form of the flow force of the rinsing liquid when this in the Secondary chamber 18 strikes the collecting vessel 19, and the weight of the in the collecting vessel 19th retained rinsing liquid together.
  • the force is therefore high enough to do that Sealing element 11 against the biasing force from its own weight and the gradient pressure of the conditioning substance stored in the storage chamber 5 from the closing to the To move release position.
  • the amount dispensed during each flushing process of conditioning substance to be precisely specified.
  • the quantity delivered is not depending on the length of time during which the sealing element 11 is in the release position located.
  • the sealing element in its release position the inlet into Keeps the interior of the antechamber closed, it is understood that such an accurate Dosage of the amount of conditioning substance dispensed with each rinsing process enabling function also omitted and instead a permanent fluid connection could be provided between the pantry and the prechamber.
  • Actuator can also be designed without a collecting vessel, so that with each Force acting on the flushing process essentially through the dynamic flow force components is determined.
  • the sealing element does not necessarily need a spherical one Have configuration. Rather, another one, e.g. cylindrical or frustoconical configuration can be provided.
  • the sealing element could also on Arm area of the actuator to be articulated.
  • the sealing element is biased into its closed position by a spring or the like.
