Definitions

  • Such usually hand-held liquid dispensing devices which are usually attached to the end of a garden hose, have a flow-through, one or more parts, conveniently handle conveniently designed housing, which is assigned to the introduction of liquid into the housing, a liquid feed, which is usually arranged at the rear end of a handle region is.
  • the housing is associated with a first nozzle device and a separate second nozzle device for dispensing liquid from the housing.
  • the nozzle means serve to determine by their shape, in which form the discharged liquid emerges from the liquid discharge means and are expediently designed differently in order to allow different delivery modes.
  • the term nozzle device in this application includes all suitable for liquid dispensing devices having a flow-forming Have an effect on the discharged liquid. In the simplest case, it may be an opening of given shape.
  • a suitable manually operable liquid control means for controlling the liquid flow between the liquid inlet and the nozzle means is provided.
  • Such liquid dispensing devices are available in many designs. Devices have already been proposed in which a two or more different nozzle-carrying nozzle carrier is rotatable against a connected to the liquid inlet outlet to connect depending on the position of the nozzle carrier each one of the nozzle means with the liquid inlet. The movement of the nozzle devices required for this purpose can have a restrictive effect on the type and size of the nozzles. In addition, such devices are relatively complicated.
  • the DE 29 40 899 shows another type of designed as a spray head, generic liquid dispensing device. It has a pipe socket provided with a rear hose connection, a nozzle body which can be screwed onto an external thread of the pipe socket, an inner sleeve which can be screwed onto an external thread of the nozzle body and a casing sleeve which can be screwed onto an external thread of the inner sleeve.
  • the pipe socket and the nozzle body are formed with a closed upper end and have, just like the inner sleeve, lateral outlet openings from which inflowing water can flow into the intermediate space formed between the sleeve and the next outer sleeve.
  • two different, concentric nozzle devices are provided, wherein a centric front nozzle opening of the inner sleeve into which protrudes a tip of the nozzle body, of a annular shower nozzle device is surrounded by annular perforated plate.
  • the nested sleeves form control of a fluid control device, which makes it possible by mutual rotation of the sleeves and thus by mutual axial displacement of the sleeves, only to apply the centric spray nozzle or the outer shower ring with flowing liquid. Also intermediate positions in which both the spray nozzle, and the shower with adjustable by rotation of the sleeves, variable amounts of water can be acted upon are possible.
  • the spray head allows for many different liquid dispensing modes, it is complicated to manufacture as well as handle.
  • Another device of this type which also has a plurality of coaxial, nested sleeves for fluid control, and in which also a centric spray nozzle is surrounded by a coaxial, annular shower device, is in the EP 0 842 705 shown. Also in this device, which is able to deliver water with a variety of different irrigation patterns, construction and handling are complicated.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a liquid dispensing device of the type mentioned, which is simple and inexpensive to produce and very easy and reliable to use.
  • a directional control valve is provided with a rotatable control member in the manner of a chick and the control device is designed such that selectively by rotation of the Steuerorganges only the first nozzle means or only the second nozzle means connected to the liquid inlet or the liquid feed can be shut off.
  • a chick is here called a control member which defines flow paths between at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening of the control device, which are variable by rotation of the plug.
  • a single control element is sufficient, by means of which preferably manual rotation can be switched over between different operating states of the liquid dispensing device.
  • the operating conditions can be traversed successively upon rotation of the Steuerorganges and are assigned to specific, fixed rotational positions of the control member.
  • a control device can be executed thread-free, whereby the production of the control device is particularly simple and inexpensive.
  • the elements of the control device can be structurally and functionally completely independent of those of the nozzle devices, resulting in constructive freedom both for the nozzle devices and for the control device.
  • the control device is designed such that by rotation of the control member, the flow rates to the first nozzle device and / or the second nozzle device is adjustable, the setting is preferably infinitely possible. It is therefore possible by operating a single control process not only the complete blocking or release of nozzle devices, but for all nozzle devices and a sensitive metering of the inflowing into the nozzle device amount of water. This results in a very simple operation of the liquid dispenser.
  • a preferred embodiment of the liquid control device uses a new, surprising and very effective principle of fluid control, which is not only useful in generic liquid dispensing devices with advantage, but may also be beneficial in liquid control devices for other applications.
  • the underlying principle can be explained as follows, for example.
  • the control device has a control housing with a provided for receiving the control member, rotationally symmetrical receiving opening, which is preferably cylindrical, but could for example also be conically shaped.
  • this receiving opening opens transversely to a defined by the inside of the receiving opening surface, for example in the radial direction, at least one liquid-conducting channel, can flow through the liquid to be controlled.
  • the seal is not, as in conventional sealing arrangements, in a radial plane of the control member, but that it has at least one oblique peripheral portion which extends transversely to a radial plane of the control member or the receiving opening, that in at least one Rotary position of the control member of the above-mentioned channel is separated from a space axially sealed by the seal and opens in at least one other rotational position of the channel in this space.
  • the described principle can be implemented in the control device for the liquid dispensing device with two nozzle devices such that at least one inlet channel assigned to the liquid feed and at least one outlet channel associated with each nozzle device open into the receiving opening. If at least two channels open into the receiving opening, so it is particularly useful if the opening into the receiving opening channels are offset from each other both in the axial direction, as well as in the circumferential direction. This makes it possible to avoid extreme skewing of the circumferential seals, which simplifies the design and manufacture of the liquid control device and affects the function advantageous.
  • the first nozzle device is a spray nozzle device, which is preferably associated with a device for beam adjustment, with the help of which, for example, a beam expansion and / or a twist of the pressurized water is preferably infinitely adjustable.
  • the second nozzle device may preferably be a pouring shower device, with the aid of which a softer, planar irrigation, for example of planted beds or flower boxes, is possible in comparison with the spray nozzle device.
  • the pouring shower device may be associated with a device for adjusting the jet image in order, for example, to adjust the size and / or shape of the jet image.
  • a preferred development provides that a flexible shower plate perforated with parallel spray-opening channels is used to produce the fan-shaped spray pattern .
  • Relieved state has substantially parallel to each other extending shower opening channels and that this shower plate before or when attaching the shower plate to a shower body preferably uniaxially curved and secured in the curved state.
  • an outer nozzle sleeve 16 is screwed, the axially adjustable by rotation relative to the swirler 12 and with respect to this a round cord seal 17 is sealed upstream of the thread 13.
  • the nozzle sleeve 16 has a conical outer portion 15 adapted, outer portion from the outside enclosing conical portion 18, to which downstream of a nozzle channel portion 19 with a downstream slightly conically tapered and then gradually widening nozzle channel connects.
  • both the passage cross-section for penetrating water, and the proportion of water is changed in the region of the cooperating conical sections 15, 18 and the swirl grooves Swirling grooves is provided with a twist around the central axis and then exits through the nozzle channel 20.
  • the shower body 27 is closed to the outside by a cylindrical curved in the shown state, rectangular shower plate 33 in which a plurality of spray opening channels 34 are provided in a regular pattern, which are aligned generally perpendicular to the curved shower plate surface and thereby a Auffambatationswinkel of, for example, approx Create 20 °.
  • the showerhead is connected liquid-tight in its edge region with the cylindrically curved, rectangular outer edge of the shower body by ultrasonic welding.
  • the inlet opening 46 is located centrally on a two outlet openings 47, 48 connecting spiral line.
  • a liquid-conducting connection between the housing chambers 3, 4, 5 is only over the interior of the controller housing by the respectively associated channels, so that by connecting the channels or mutual sealing of the channels 46, 47, 48, the described function of the control device can be achieved.
  • sealing grooves are created by suitable guidance of the webs, which inserted therein, in FIGS. 3 to 5 partially indicated only by dashed lines, circumferentially closed Rundschnurdichtungen or O-rings impose a course in which the peripheral seals in the range of oblique peripheral portions extend transversely to a radial plane of the control member.
  • 3/3-way valve in which between the three connection channels 46, 47, 48 three extreme switch positions are possible
  • the gag portion 51 facing first seal 59 extends obliquely so that in the in Fig.
  • connection region 62 is a circumferentially closed channel whose axial width is determined by the circumferentially varying axial distance between the seal 57 and the seal 59 and whose radial extent is determined by the radial distance between the outside of the cylinder portion 55 and the inside 49 of the receiving opening.
  • the flow cross-section is expediently chosen so that all desired even in maximum operation flow rates are easily transportable.
  • the oblique course of the first seal 59 is characterized in particular by an axially extending, approximately sinusoidal bulge, which in the in Fig. 3 shown rotational position encloses the inlet opening 46 on the side facing away from the knob.
  • the passage cross-section at the inlet port 46 is continuously reduced by the first seal 59 transversely across the mouth opening, wherein a portion of the inflowing liquid continues to the outlet 47 and the rest in a Area 63 between the seal 59 and the seal 60 is passed.
  • the in Fig. 4 shown blocking position of the control member reaches, in which the inlet channel 46 opens into an approximately lenticular region 63 which is sealed to the first outlet 47 through the first seal 59 and the second outlet 48 through the second seal 60.
  • the inlet channel under pressure pending, supplied water can therefore reach none of the outputs or none of the nozzle means and the liquid supply to the spray-pouring shower is interrupted altogether.
  • the full Englishlraumwolf ( FIGS. 3 and 5 ) associated rotational positions can be adjustable stop, for which purpose on the toggle portion 51, a housing facing the projection 65 may be provided, which engages in a corresponding semi-circular groove on the outside of the housing.
  • liquid control device 40 explained here with reference to a preferred embodiment of a 3/3-way valve for a spray-pouring shower 1 can also be applied to other directional valves with more or fewer than three connections and more or less than three switching positions by a suitable number of oblique seals is provided, which cooperate with a corresponding number of connection channels according to the principle described.
  • the use of such novel way valves is not limited to spray-type showers.
  • Fluid control devices according to the invention can advantageously also be used in other areas of fluid control, above all where simple handling and reliable operation is desired.
  • control devices according to the invention on the side of the control device housing only a rotationally symmetrical, in particular cylindrical opening must be provided, the production of suitable housings of such control devices can be very cost-effective both in injection molding and for example in material-removing processes.
  • the possibly higher tool and / or production costs for possibly irregularly shaped control members with the appropriate seal guide may initially be higher than in conventional devices. Due to the universal applicability of such control body, however, these will be produced in large quantities, so that tool-side higher initial investment can pay for itself very quickly.
  • the flow-controlling elements of the control device can be structurally and functionally completely independent of the flow-shaping elements of the nozzle device, resulting in constructive freedom for the nozzle devices and the control device.
  • a control device according to the invention can also be used in other devices be used advantageously in which the described control functions are desired or required, for example in distribution devices of all kinds. Implemented can the advantages arising from the specifics of the nozzle devices (eg, their angular position to each other or the rectangular radiation of the shower spray) independently of the control device according to the invention also used together with other control devices, eg with slide valves o.
