Description

Brauseköpfe sind als fest installierte Kopfbrausen, Seitenbrausen oder auch als Handbrausen am Ende eines Schlauches bekannt. Es gibt die unterschiedlichsten Arten von Strahlen, die mit solchen Brauseköpfen ausgegeben werden. Bekannt sind pulsierende Strahlen, belüftete Strahlen und Strahlen, die relativ langsam ihre Wassermenge ändern.Shower heads are fixed shower heads, side showers or as hand showers at the end of a hose known. There are many different types of rays, which are issued with such shower heads. Are known pulsating rays, ventilated rays and rays that change their amount of water relatively slowly.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Brausekopf zu schaffen, der ein optisch ansprechendes und angenehm zu spürendes Strahlbild erzeugt.The invention has for its object to a shower head create a visually appealing and pleasant to feel Beam image generated.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung einen Brausekopf mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche, deren Wortlaut ebenso wie der Wortlaut der Zusammenfassung durch Bezugnahme zum Inhalt der Beschreibung gemacht wird.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a shower head with the features of claim 1 before. further developments The invention are the subject of the dependent claims, whose Wording as well as the wording of the summary by Reference is made to the content of the description.

Während bei den bekannten Brausen die Menge und ggf. auch die Form des Strahles geändert wird, wird nun zum ersten Mal auch die Richtung eines aus dem Brausekopf austretenden Wasserstrahls geändert, und zwar kontinuierlich. Auf diese Weise lässt sich ein Strahl schaffen, der bei festem Brausekopf auf der Haut einer sich duschenden Person wandert, beispielsweise längs eines geschlossenen Weges. Hierdurch lässt sich nicht nur ein größerer Bereich des Körpers benetzen, sondern auch eine Massagewirkung erreichen, die jedoch anders ist als bei den bisherigen Massagebrausen. Denn der Strahl bleibt nicht auf der gleichen Stelle, sondern ändert diese Stelle.While in the known showers the amount and possibly also the Form of the beam is changed, now for the first time too the direction of a water jet emerging from the shower head changed, and continuously. In this way can create a beam, the on a fixed shower head the skin of a showering person wanders, for example along a closed path. This is not possible wet only a larger area of the body, but also achieve a massage effect, which is different than at the previous massage showers. Because the beam does not stay in the same place, but changes this place.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Antriebsmittel während des Ausströmens des Wassers aus der Strahlenaustrittsöffnung arbeitet.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the Drive means during the outflow of water from the Beam outlet works.

Besonders günstig ist es, wenn das Antriebsmittel durch das strömende Wasser betätigt wird. Es sind daher keine zusätzlichen Einrichtungen erforderlich, um das Antriebsmittel zu betätigen.It is particularly favorable when the drive means by the flowing water is actuated. There are therefore no additional Facilities required to drive the power too actuate.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Richtung der Achse der Strahlaustrittsöffnung derart geändert wird, dass sie mindestens teilweise auf einem Kegel liegt, insbesondere einem Kreiskegel.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the Direction of the axis of the jet outlet opening changed so is that it lies at least partially on a cone, in particular a circular cone.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ebenfalls möglich, dass die Achse derart bewegt wird, dass sie auf einem Doppelegel liegt.According to the invention it is also possible that the axis is such is moved, that it lies on a double gel.

Die Erfindung schlägt vor, dass die Spitze des Kegels im Bereich der Strahlscheibe liegt, so dass sich sowohl der Platzbedarf als auch das Aussehen für die Brause nur wenig gegenüber bekannten Brausen ändert.The invention proposes that the tip of the cone in the area the jet disk is located so that both the space required as well as the appearance of the shower only slightly opposite known shower changes.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Strahlscheibe mehrere Strahlaustrittsöffnungen aufweist, die in einem beliebigen Muster angeordnet sein können.According to the invention it can be provided that the jet disk has a plurality of jet outlet openings in any Pattern can be arranged.

Wenn mehrere Strahlaustrittsöffnungen vorhanden sind, so kann erfindungsgemäß das Antriebsmittel derart ausgebildet sein, dass es die Richtung der Achse von mehr als einer Strahlaustrittsöffnung ändert. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, dass bei einigen Strahlaustrittsöffnungen die Richtung geändert wird, während andere Strahlaustrittsöffnungen einen Strahl immer in der gleichen Richtung abgeben.If multiple jet outlet openings are present, so According to the invention, the drive means be designed in such a way that it is the direction of the axis of more than one jet outlet changes. Of course it is also possible that at some jet outlet openings changed the direction while other jet outlets one Always deliver the beam in the same direction.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Richtungen der Achse der mehreren Strahlaustrittsöffnungen synchron verändert werden. Dies macht den Antrieb einfach, da die Bewegung von einem einzigen Antriebsmittel abgeleitet werden kann.According to the invention it can be provided that the directions of Axis of the multiple jet outlet openings changed synchronously become. This makes the drive easy as the movement can be derived from a single drive means.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Richtungen der Achsen der mehreren Strahlaustrittsöffnungen gleichphasig verändert werden, was zu einem optisch geschlossenen Strahlbald führt.According to the invention it can be provided that the directions of Axes of the multiple jet outlet openings in phase be changed, resulting in an optically closed Strahlbald leads.

Es ist aber auch möglich, dass die Richtungen außerphasig verändert werden können.But it is also possible that the directions are out of phase can be changed.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, die Bewegung so auszubilden, dass die Kegelachse, um die der Strahl verschwenkt wird, senkrecht zur Strahlscheibe verläuft.According to the invention, it may be provided to design the movement in such a way that that the cone axis about which the beam pivots is perpendicular to the jet disk.

Es ist denkbar, zum Verändern der Richtung der Achse der Strahlaustrittsöffnung die gesamte Strahlscheibe taumeln zu lassen. Die Erfindung schlägt vor, die Strahlaustrittsöffnung in einem gegenüber der Strahlscheibe verschwenkbaren Düsenelement anzuordnenden, so dass die Änderung der Richtung der Achse durch ein Verschwenken dieses Düsenelementes gegenüber der Strahlscheibe und damit auch gegenüber dem Gehäuse durchgeführt werden kann.It is conceivable to change the direction of the axis of the Beam outlet opening tumble the entire jet disk to let. The invention proposes the jet outlet opening in a relative to the jet disk pivotable nozzle element order to change the direction of the Axis by pivoting this nozzle element opposite the jet disk and thus also performed with respect to the housing can be.

Insbesondere kann in Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, dass das Düsenelement in einer Öffnung der Strahlscheibe gelagert ist, insbesondere das Strahlaustrittsende des Düsenelements. Dann erfolgt die Bewegung des Düsenelementes innerhalb des Gehäuses des Brausekopfs. Natürlich kann es, sofern dies gewünscht ist, auch möglich sein, dass das Düsenelement aus der Strahlscheibe nach außen herausragt, so dass dann die Bewegung des Düsenelementes von außen sichtbar ist.In particular, the invention may be provided in a further development be that the nozzle element in an opening of the jet disk is stored, in particular the beam exit end of the Nozzle member. Then, the movement of the nozzle element takes place inside the body of the shower head. Of course it can, if desired, it may also be possible for the nozzle element protruding outward from the jet disk so that then the movement of the nozzle element is visible from the outside.

Es ist ebenfalls möglich, das Düsenelement mit Hilfe von elastischen Einrichtungen an der Strahlscheibe zu lagern, die eine solche taumelnde Bewegung des Düsenelements zulassen.It is also possible, the nozzle member by means of elastic To store facilities on the jet disk, the allow such a tumbling movement of the nozzle member.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Düsenelement im Bereich seines dem Austrittsende abgewandten hinteren Endes in eine durch das Antriebsmittel bewegbare Scheibe eingreift.In a further development of the invention can be provided that the Nozzle element in the region of its outlet end facing away the rear end in a movable by the drive means Disc engages.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass alle Düsenelemente in eine gemeinsame Scheibe eingreifen, die dann beispielsweise in einer kreisförmigen Bewegung exzentrisch bewegt wird, ohne selbst verdreht zu werden.According to the invention, it can be provided that all nozzle elements intervene in a common disc, which then, for example is moved eccentrically in a circular motion, without being twisted yourself.

Besonders günstig ist es jedoch, wenn jedes Düsenelement in je eine Scheibe eingreift, die um eine gegenüber dem Brausekopf feste Achse rotierend angetrieben wird.It is particularly favorable, however, if each nozzle element in each one disc engages, the one opposite the shower head fixed axis is driven in rotation.

Zum rotierenden Antreiben kann eine Turbine verwendet werden.For rotating driving a turbine can be used.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Schnitt durch einen Teil eines Brausekopfs. Eine Strahlscheibe 1 weist eine leicht konvex geformte Außenseite 2 auf, in der mehreren Öffnungen 3 zu sehen sind. An der gegenüberliegenden Rückseite 4 der Strahlscheibe 1 ist ein zylindrischer Ansatz 5 angeformt, der ein Außengewinde 6 zum Einschrauben in das Gehäuse eines Brausekopfs aufweist. Nach hinten ist die Anordnung des Ansatzes 5 durch eine Kappe 7 abgedeckt, die in ihrer Mitte eine in den Ansatz 5 hineinragende Welle 8 aufweist. An der radialen Außenseite dieser Anordnung ist an einer Stelle eine Öffnung 9 gebildet, durch die das in den Brausekopf einströmende Wasser von außen nach innen in den Ansatz 5 einströmen kann.Figure 1 shows a section through a part of a shower head. A jet disk 1 has a slightly convex shaped Outside 2, in which several openings 3 can be seen. At the opposite rear side 4 of the jet disk 1 is a cylindrical projection 5 is formed, which has an external thread. 6 for screwing into the housing of a shower head. To the rear, the arrangement of the neck 5 by a cap 7 covered in the middle of a projecting into the neck 5 Shaft 8 has. At the radial outside of this Arrangement is formed at one point an opening 9, through the water flowing into the showerhead from the outside can flow into the neck 5 inside.

Auf der Welle 8 ist ein Turbinenrad 10 gelagert, das eine Nabe 11 aufweist. Die Nabe 11 ist als Zahnrad ausgebildet, siehe auch Figur 4. Die Nabe 11 greift mit radialem Abstand durch eine zentrale Öffnung 12 einer Scheibe 13 hindurch, die ortsfest in dem Ansatz 5 der Strahlscheibe 1 gelagert ist. Die Scheibe 13 weist vier Löcher 14 auf, in denen Lageransätze 15 von Scheiben 16 gelagert sind. Die Scheiben 16 sind mit Hilfe der Lageransätze 15 gegenüber der Scheibe 13 verdrehbar. Die Scheiben 16 weisen im Bereich ihres Umfangs eine Verzahnung 17 auf, die in die verzahnte Nabe 11 eingreift.On the shaft 8, a turbine 10 is mounted, the one Hub 11 has. The hub 11 is designed as a gear, See also Figure 4. The hub 11 engages with radial distance through a central opening 12 of a disc 13 therethrough, the stationary in the approach 5 of the jet disk 1 is mounted. The disc 13 has four holes 14, in which bearing approaches 15 are supported by discs 16. The discs 16 are with Help the bearing lugs 15 against the disc 13 rotatable. The discs 16 have in the region of their circumference Teeth 17, which engages in the toothed hub 11.

Bei Verdrehung des Turbinenrades 10 werden die Scheiben 16 daher verdreht. Upon rotation of the turbine wheel 10, the discs are 16 therefore twisted.

Jede Scheibe 16 weist eine Öffnung 18 auf, die bei Verdrehung der Scheiben 16 längs eines Kreises umläuft.Each disc 16 has an opening 18 which, when rotated the discs 16 rotates along a circle.

Zwischen den Scheiben 16 und der Innenseite der Strahlscheibe 1 sind im dargestellten Beispiel insgesamt vier Düsenelemente 19 angeordnet. Jedes Düsenelement 19 greift mit seiner abgerundeten Vorderseite 20 in eine trichterartige Ausnehmung 21 ein, die hinter den Öffnungen 3 angeordnet ist. Die Dicke der Strahlscheibe 1 ist im Bereich der Öffnung 3 so gewählt, dass die Düsenelemente 19 nicht aus dem Trichter 21 herausrutschen können.Between the discs 16 and the inside of the jet disc 1 are a total of four nozzle elements in the example shown 19 arranged. Each nozzle element 19 engages with its rounded Front 20 in a funnel-like recess 21st a, which is arranged behind the openings 3. The thickness of the Jet disk 1 is selected in the region of the opening 3 so that the nozzle elements 19 do not slip out of the hopper 21 can.

Im Bereich ihres der Vorderseite 20 abgewandten Endes haben die Düsenelemente 19 einen Lageransatz 22, der in die Öffnungen 18 der Scheibe 16 eingesteckt ist.In the area of their front 20 facing away from the end the nozzle elements 19 a bearing lug 22, in the openings 18 of the disc 16 is inserted.

Diese Lageransätze 15 der Scheiben 16 sind in axialer Verlängerung des Mittelpunkt der Öffnungen 3 der Strahlscheibe 1 angeordnet. Beim Verdrehen der Scheiben 16 werden daher die Düsenelemente um die Verbindungslinie zwischen den Lageransätzen 15 und dem Mittelpunkt der Öffnung 3 herum in einer Taumelbewegung verschwenkt.These bearing lugs 15 of the discs 16 are in axial extension the center of the openings 3 of the jet disk. 1 arranged. When turning the discs 16 are therefore the Nozzle elements around the connecting line between the bearing lugs 15 and the center of the opening 3 around in a Swinging swiveled.

Die Düsenelement 19 haben eine axial verlaufende Öffnung 23, deren Vorderseite die Strahlaustrittsöffnung bildet. Etwa auf der halben Länge der Längserstreckung der Düsenelemente 19 sind diese seitlich offen, siehe Figur 3, so dass der dem Turbinenrad 10 zugewandten Teil der Düsenelemente 19 die Form eines Bügels 24 aufweist. Von den beiden offenen Seiten 25 her kann daher das Wasser aus dem Brausekopf in die Düsenelemente 19 einströmen und diese durch das vordere Ende verlassen. Die Achse der Öffnungen 23 bildet damit die Achse, längs der der Wasserstrahl ausströmt. The nozzle elements 19 have an axially extending opening 23, the front of which forms the jet outlet opening. About half the length of the longitudinal extension of the nozzle elements 19th these are open at the side, see Figure 3, so that the Turbinenrad 10 facing part of the nozzle elements 19, the shape a bracket 24 has. From the two open sides 25 Therefore, the water can come from the shower head into the nozzle elements Infuse 19 and leave this through the front end. The axis of the openings 23 thus forms the axis, along the water jet flows out.

Figur 5 zeigt die ortsfest im Gehäuse angeordnete Scheibe 13, die eigentlich als Rad ausgebildet ist. Um die zentrale Öffnung 12 herum ist ein Ring 26 gebildet, von dem aus vier Speichen 27 nach außen führen. Außen ist wieder ein Ring 28 angeordnet, der an einer Stelle eine Kerbe 29 aufweist. Die Kerbe 29 dient zur lagerichtigen Festlegung der Scheibe 13 im Gehäuse.FIG. 5 shows the disk 13 arranged stationarily in the housing, which is actually designed as a wheel. Around the central opening 12 around a ring 26 is formed, from which four Lead spokes 27 to the outside. Outside is again a ring 28 arranged, which has a notch 29 at one point. The Notch 29 serves for the correct location of the disc 13 in Casing.

Etwa mittig in radialer Richtung sind in den Speichen 27 die Öffnungen 14 angeordnet, die die Lagerung für die Zahnräder 16 bilden.Approximately centrally in the radial direction are in the spokes 27 the Openings 14 are arranged which support the bearings for the gears 16 form.

Strömt das Wasser durch die Öffnung 9 in das Innere des Ansatzes 5, so treibt es zunächst das Turbinenrad 10 an. Gleichzeitig strömt das Wasser durch die Zwischenräume 30 zwischen den Speichen 27 der Scheibe 13 zu den Düsenelementen 19, und von dort durch deren Öffnungen 23 nach außen. Die Verdrehung des Turbinenrades 10 führt zu einer Drehung der Scheiben 16 um die ortsfesten Achsen. Die Verdrehung der Scheiben 16 führt zu der bereits erwähnte taumelnden Bewegung der Düsenelemente 19. Dies bedeutet, dass die Richtung der aus dem Brausekopf austretenden Strahlen kontinuierlich verändert wird, und zwar im dargestellten Beispiel längs eines Kreiskegels, dessen Spitze etwa in der Strahlscheibe 1 liegt. Alle Düsenelemente 19 werden mit gleicher Winkelgeschwindigkeit bewegt.The water flows through the opening 9 into the interior of the approach 5, it first drives the turbine wheel 10. At the same time, the water flows through the intermediate spaces 30 between the spokes 27 of the disc 13 to the nozzle elements 19, and from there through the openings 23 to the outside. The Rotation of the turbine wheel 10 leads to a rotation of the Discs 16 around the stationary axes. The twist of the Discs 16 leads to the already mentioned tumbling movement of the nozzle elements 19. This means that the direction of the from the shower head exiting rays continuously changed is, in the example shown along a Circular cone whose tip is located approximately in the jet disk 1. All nozzle elements 19 are at the same angular velocity emotional.
