Definitions

  • a jet outlet element In a known shower head (WO 00/03810), a jet outlet element is to a certain extent freely movable in a shower head. It is equipped with a turbine that can be driven by the water flow. Due to the free mobility together with the turbine, the jet outlet element can orient itself as desired, so that it carries out any uncontrolled movement.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a shower head with which different patterns of moving exit jets can be realized.
  • the invention proposes a shower head with the features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims, the wording of which, like the wording of the abstract, is made by reference to the content of the description.
  • the direction of the jet emerging from the jet exit element can be changed by the movement of the jet exit element held in the shower head with the aid of the gear mechanism. If this change is fast, ent ⁇ represents the user with a good spray pattern which, in addition to results in a massaging effect is achieved on the skin which showering person.
  • the arrangement is made such that the direction of the emerging beam changes in a constantly repeating pattern. However, it is also conceivable and proposed by the invention that a random pattern is generated.
  • a guide section of the beam exit element can be moved along a path which preferably describes a closed path.
  • the guide section can be a special part of the jet outlet element, which is arranged, for example, as a pin on the end of the jet outlet element facing away from the jet disk.
  • the guideway which effects the movement of the jet outlet element can have at least one intersection. This makes it possible to generate rays that describe the shape of an eight on the tread surface, so that there is an actual crossing of the path.
  • the guideway has at least two self-contained tracks with a transfer point between them.
  • An example of this is the provision of two circular paths that touch or intersect at at least one point.
  • a device can be provided to transfer the guide section from one path to the other.
  • the webs touch tangentially at the transfer point.
  • a possibly controlled transfer device can be provided at the transfer point.
  • the gear unit which causes the movement of the jet outlet element can be driven, for example, by a turbine which is driven by the water flowing through the shower head.
  • the transmission has at least one transmission element to which the beam exit element is at least temporarily connected directly.
  • the above-mentioned guide section can engage in a recess in the gear element and be moved by the gear element.
  • the intervention can be designed so that the guide section still maintains a degree of freedom, which is then determined by another part of the shower head.
  • the transmission can be designed such that the transmission element effects the movement of the jet outlet element, that is to say, for example, a rotary drive, or also such that the transmission element controls the movement of the jet outlet element directly.
  • the shower head can have a second or a third gear element with which the jet outlet element is temporarily connected directly, that is to say, for example, during the time during which it is no longer connected to the first gear element.
  • the transmission can have a transfer device in order to transfer the beam outlet element or its guide section from one to the second transmission element.
  • the transfer device can, for example, be designed in such a way that it is controlled directly by the movement of the jet outlet element.
  • the transfer device is controlled by a gear means, which can be a gear means synchronized with the movement of the beam exit element, or also a non-synchronized gear means. In this case a random movement can then be brought about.
  • the beam exit element is moved such that its axis lies on a cone. This can be achieved, for example, by holding or guiding one end of the jet outlet element in the manner of a ball joint or a ball socket.
  • the beam exit element moves parallel to itself, that is to say is displaced.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section through a schematic shower head according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the arrangement of FIG. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of part of the
  • Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of Figure 3 from below.
  • Fig. 5 shows the arrangement of Fig. 3 with removed
  • Fig. 7 shows another arrangement with three gear elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section of a highly schematic shower head with a housing 1, into which a water inlet 2 opens.
  • a jet disk 3 is formed on the opposite end face and has an opening 4.
  • the opening 4 is formed into the interior of the housing 1 as a kind of ball socket.
  • the front spherical end 5 of a jet outlet element 6 is mounted in this ball socket.
  • the beam exit element 5 is formed in its front area as a sleeve, which is penetrated by an axial bore 7.
  • At the front sleeve-like area are two parallel webs 8, which then pass into a pin-like cylindrical guide section 9 arranged in the axial extension of the axial bore.
  • the shape of this jet outlet element can also be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • an insert part 10 is used, which has approximately the shape of a plate with a cylindrical edge 11.
  • the edge 11 is designed as a flat cylindrical jacket. It sits on a shoulder in the case.
  • the insert 10 divides the housing in the longitudinal direction approximately in a ratio of 1 to 4.
  • a chamber 12 is thereby formed on the upper side of the insert 10 in FIG. 1, in which a transmission with a turbine 13 is accommodated.
  • the turbine 13 is arranged such that it is rotated by the water jet entering the housing 1 through the inlet 2. It is in engagement with a first gear 14 via a shaft 19 and a pinion, which meshes with a second gear 15. Both gears 14, 15 are mounted in the plate of the insert 10.
  • a disk 17, 18 is rotatably connected to the corresponding gearwheel via a shaft 16.
  • the two disks 17, 18 are of such a size that their outer circumference touches at a central point.
  • both gears 14, 15 are of the same size, so that they are driven in opposite directions at the same rotational speed.
  • the two disks 17, 18 also move in opposite directions at the same peripheral speed.
  • Each of the two disks 17, 18 has a notch 20, 21 extending from its circumference, which are dimensioned such that they receive the upper region of the guide section 9 of the jet outlet element 6 and can guide it with little lateral play.
  • the switch has a nose section 24 which is so long that one side of it contacts the shaft 16.
  • the nose section 24 is delimited on both sides by a guide bevel 25 which merges into a control section 26 which extends transversely to the guide bevel 25.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the insert 10 with the two gear wheels 14, 15 and the jet outlet element 6 arranged under the insert 10.
  • the plate which serves to support the shafts 16 has large openings 27 on the side next to the gear wheels 14, 15 , through which the water can flow from the chamber 12 into the room where the jet outlet element 6 is arranged.
  • the water can flow between the two webs 8 into the axial bore 7 and exit the shower head from there.
  • the water emerges from the jet disk 3 in the direction that the jet outlet element 6 is currently taking. If you hold the shower head over a surface, the water jet on the surface also describes an eight.
  • FIG. 4 shows the arrangement of FIG. 3 from below.
  • the two disks 17, 18 can be seen, which are connected to one of the two gear wheels 14, 15 in a rotational test on a common shaft.
  • FIG. 5 shows a representation corresponding to FIG. 3, in which the two gear wheels 14, 15 have been removed in order to be able to see the two shafts 16 better.
  • the position of the transfer device 21 between the two disks 17, 18 also emerges from this figure.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 shows a possibility of the technical implementation of a shower head, in which the water jet emerging from the shower head describes the shape of a figure eight on a surface.
  • the figure eight consists of two circles of equal size that touch each other tangentially, with a crossing point at the point of contact.
  • This form of the path that the water jet describes on the surface when it strikes is caused by the guideway of the guide section 9 of the jet outlet element 6.
  • This guideway is geometrically similar to the shape described by the water jet.
  • FIG. 6 A guide section 9 of a corresponding jet outlet element, similar to the embodiment in FIG. 2, is first moved along a closed circle by a disk 17 or 28 arranged at the end until it reaches the middle disk 18. There it is transported via a semicircle to the other outer pane, when it returns it is transported across the other semicircle.
  • the guide section of the two outer disks 17, 28 is also moved in each case over a full circle, while it is moved by the middle disk 18 as it rotates from disk 28 to disk 17 over an arc of approximately 300 °.
  • the middle disk 18 When moving back from the disk 17 to the disk 18, it is then moved over an arc of approximately 60 °.
  • the front section of the jet outlet element 6 is held in a ball socket. It is also conceivable that the beam exit element is not only pivoted about a joint, but also or exclusively is shifted according to a guideway. However, the pivotal movement is the preferred one.
