Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flushing device for toilets, which one Flushing tank with air tank, a mains connection socket, a valve connection socket, contains a rinsing nozzle, a valve housing with control element and an injector tube.
  • the Injector tube connects to the suction element.
  • the conventional flushing devices are described in detail in the book “Water Supply, Sewerage, gas supply to buildings "by Ballai-Márton (technical publisher, Budapest, 1977), pages 593-599.
  • the conventional flushing devices have an open water tank of about 8 l, a float valve, and one Weight valve. When rinsing, the entire amount of water must come out of the container shoot down, and therefore this solution is not economical.
  • braked, quick shut-off valve which is connected directly to the mains and the Dish rinses from a height of about 700 mm.
  • the closed containers which are equipped with an air tank, are also useful for flushing Pressure in the water pipe.
  • Such a solution is described in the patents HU 174.527, HU 190.422 and FR 2.122.069 announced.
  • Their disadvantage is that the air from the pressurized container with the rinse water continuously escapes. To after a certain time the container loses its air cushion and then functions as one Valve connected to the water network without a tank. That means that the Replacement of the air cushion requires maintenance.
  • the US Pat. No. 5,046,201 describes a flushing container under pressure with Pressure regulator, with which the water feeds the injector, the injector air into the Container sucks The rinsing valve is provided with rods.
  • the WO publication 98 / 39.522 gives a flushing system with a pressurized, multi-branch valve known.
  • the patent US 5,136,732 contains a piston provided Flushing device with needle valve.
  • the patent JP 6,158,699 puts one under pressure standing container with vacuum valve.
  • the patent specification HU 205.409 describes a device which an injector further a weight or spring-loaded outer valve contains for air supply.
  • a common disadvantage of the mentioned Solutions is that they are relatively complicated, furthermore that the different ones Sinter valves and pressure regulators slightly and clog them, which means that maintenance is required.
  • the aim of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the previous solutions Design of such a flushing device, which is simple, no maintenance and Air supply required by the operator, quiet, water-saving and is extremely reliable.
  • the basis of the idea of the invention is the knowledge that when the air supply loosened through an opening during the rinsing process without moving parts and for the introduction of air is deflected and stabilized by the flushing water jet, so obtained we have a more advantageous solution than before.
  • the device according to the invention is a flushing device for Toilets according to claim 1, which is a container with an air tank, a Mains connection piece, a flushing piece, one with a regulating element Valve housing and an injector tube contains a suction element to the injector tube connects, designed in such a way that a valve housing under the control element Air refill opening while above the control element - expediently in the valve housing used - the jet pipe suitable for deflecting the rinsing water is arranged in the jet pipe and / or an air inlet chamber is left next to it.
  • Another characteristic of the invention may be that the suction member in the lower Part of the injector tube inserted and at least one that opens into the container Inlet port is provided.
  • the air inlet chamber is through a vault bounded, which leads the air to the air boiler.
  • the part of the protruding into the valve housing contains A stabilizing chamber that determines the direction of the water jet.
  • the injector tube, the suction element, the jet tube and the flushing nozzle are coaxial.
  • the supplementary unit is with a Provide suitable suction mouth to increase the water discharge.
  • the Complementary unit surrounds a merging chamber.
  • the inventive flushing device for toilets has numerous advantages. she is extraordinarily simple and reliable, except for the control system with which the The device does not contain any user who starts the flushing and who also switches it off moving components. The device does not require and contains no warning parts subject to sintering and constipation. The function is silent and wassererschend. The user can turn off the flush at any time. The Air supply is automatic during the flushing process.
  • an air refill opening also has the particular advantage that Device no back suction preventing valve must be used. In case of a A fault in the water network, the air refill opening stops the suction effect and prevents the possible penetration of the dirty water into the water network.
  • the container 1 is arranged vertically. At the top there is the power socket 2, the upper part of the container 1 forms the air tank 17th The current water level is marked with a triangle.
  • the container 1 can Plastic, made of metal or a combination thereof. He can out consist of one or more pieces.
  • the injector tube 3 is in the longitudinal axis of the Container 1 and can be narrow or have the diameter shown in Fig. 1.
  • the suction element 4 is installed in the lower part of the injector tube 3 and has two Inlet nozzle 12, which open into the container 1.
  • the suction element 4 and the injector tube 3 are coaxial.
  • the lower part of the injector tube 3 may be tapered.
  • the valve housing 6 is under the container 1 and conveniently closes the Flush nozzle 11. If necessary, the valve housing with the container assembled.
  • the control element 10 can be a simple shut-off valve or else be a remote controlled valve. Under the control element 10 is the Air refill opening 7. Located between the suction element 4 and the control element 10 the jet pipe 15 suitable for deflecting the rinsing water.
  • the jet pipe 15 includes the stabilization chamber 14, the air introduction chamber 5 runs next to it.
  • the air inlet chamber 5 is delimited at the top by the guide vault 16, which is the air conducts into the air boiler 17.
  • the jet pipe 15 and the flushing nozzle 11 are useful coaxial.
  • the supplementary unit 8 is between the injector tube 3 and the jet tube 15 inserted.
  • the supplementary unit 8 connects to the container 1 through the Increase the water discharge suitable suction mouth 13.
  • the supplementary unit 8 comprises the merging chamber 9.
  • the jet pipe 15 is shown in cross section with an air introduction chamber 5.
  • the cross section of the injector tube 3 is shown with the inlet port 12 of the suction element 4.
  • the Supplementary unit 8 serves to increase the effect of the suction member 4 as a secondary Element.
  • the suction element 4, the injector tube 3 and the one used as required Supplementary unit 8 are collectively called "water jet pump”.
  • the Inventive flushing device can also be used in other patent protection Executions can be realized, e.g. the suction element 4 also under the Injector tube 3 may be arranged.
  • the flushing device according to the invention works as follows:
  • Fig. 1 the path of water is with an arrow, the path of air with one dotted arrow.
  • the user of the toilet opens the control element 10.
  • the pressure in the air tank 17 matches the pressure in the water pipe match.
  • the water escapes from the container 1, and in Air boiler 17, the air pressure gradually drops.
  • the fresh water flows from the water pipe into the Injector tube 3.
  • the water flowing into the injector tube 3 exerts an injector effect the suction element 4 and the supplementary unit 8, whereby the in the container 1st located water through the inlet port 12 and the suction mouth 13 to the Main stream connects and mixed with it in the merging chamber 9.
  • control element 10 is shut off. Then that fills Tap water through the injector tube 3, the container 1 until the pressure of the Air cushion in the air tank 17 is balanced with the pressure in the water pipe.
  • the inventive rinsing device is for water-saving and reliable Used to flush toilet bowls.
