Abstract

The invention relates to a sanitary fitting (5) comprising an external housing (2) that has at least one housing section (6, 7, 30), said housing section (6, 7, 30) having an insertion opening (10) on the affluent side. At least one functional unit can be inserted through said opening into the interior of the housing until it abuts an insertion stop (18, 19, 29). A housing clearance (20, 21, 22) for receiving the protruding part of the functional unit(s) that projects beyond the insertion stop is located upstream and/or downstream of said insertion stop (18, 19, 29) in the direction of insertion. The inventive fitting is characterised in that said fitting (5) optionally comprises several different functional units and that the housing clearance (20, 21, 22) located upstream an/or downstream of the insertion stop(s) (18, 19, 29) has a longitudinal extension in the direction of insertion, which is equal to or greater than the maximum distance between the insertion stop (18, 19, 29) and the front face of the functional units in the fitting (5), said front face projecting into the housing clearance (20, 21, 22). Despite its modular configuration, the inventive fitting (5) can thus be simply mounted in the outflow mouth of a sanitary outflow fixture.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein sanitäres Einbauteil mit einem Außengehäuse, das zumindest ein Gehäuseteil hat, welches Gehäuseteil zuströmseitig eine Einsetzöffnung aufweist, durch die wenigstens eine Funktionseinheit bis zu einem zugeordneten Einsetzanschlag in das Gehäuseinnere einsetzbar ist, wobei dem wenigstens einen Einsetzanschlag ein Gehäuse-Freiraum zur Aufnahme des über den Einsetzanschlag vorstehenden Überstands der zumindest einen Funktionseinheit in Einsetzrichtung vor- und/oder nachgeordnet ist.The invention relates to a sanitary fitting with an outer housing, which has at least one housing part, which housing part on the inlet side has an insertion through which at least one functional unit can be inserted into the housing interior up to an associated insertion stop, wherein the at least one insertion stop a housing-free space for receiving of the protrusion projecting beyond the insertion stop, which is at least one functional unit in the insertion direction and / or arranged downstream.

Man kennt bereits Strahlregler, Durchflussbegrenzer, Durchflussmengenregler und andere sanitäre Einbauteile, die beispielsweise zur Belüftung des Wasserstrahls oder zur Vergleichmäßigung beziehungsweise Begrenzung der pro Zeiteinheit durchströmenden Wassermenge einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander in das Auslaufmundstück einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur einsetzbar sind.One already knows jet regulators, flow restrictors, flow rate regulators and other sanitary fixtures that can be used, for example, to aerate the jet of water or to even out or limit the amount of water flowing through per unit time individually or in combination with each other in the outlet nozzle of a sanitary outlet fitting.

So ist aus der DE 30 00 799 C3 ein Strahlregler bekannt, dessen Außengehäuse durch ein hülsenförmiges Gehäuseteil gebildet wird. Dieses Gehäuseteil ist in einem Auslaufmundstück angeordnet, das mit einem stirnrandseitigen Innengewinde am Außengewinde einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur befestigt werden kann. Das Gehäuseteil hat eine zuströmseitige Einsetzöffnung, durch die eine Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung sowie eine Strahlreguliereinrichtung bis zu einem zugeordneten Gehäuseanschlag in das Gehäuseinnere einsetzbar sind. Während die zuströmseitige Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung durch eine Lochplatte gebildet wird, dienen mehrere abströmseitig nachgeschaltete Strahlreguliersiebe als Strahlreguliereinrichtung. Um den über den Einsetzanschlag vorstehenden Überstand dieser Funktionseinheiten im Gehäuseinneren aufnehmen zu können, ist dem Einsetzanschlag ein Gehäuse-Freiraum in Einsetzrichtung vor- beziehungsweise nachgeschaltet.So is out of the DE 30 00 799 C3 a jet regulator known, the outer housing is formed by a sleeve-shaped housing part. This housing part is arranged in an outlet mouthpiece, which can be fastened with an end edge-side internal thread on the external thread of a sanitary outlet fitting. The housing part has an inflow-side insertion opening, through which a jet decomposing device and a jet regulating device can be inserted into the housing interior up to an associated housing stop. While the inflow-side jet disintegrating device is formed by a perforated plate, a plurality of downstream Strahlreguliersiebe downstream serve as Strahlreguliereinrichtung. In order to be able to receive the protrusion of these functional units protruding beyond the insertion stop inside the housing, the housing stop is preceded or followed by a housing free space in the insertion direction.

Aus der DE 195 10 734 A1 ist bereits ein sanitäres Einbauteil bekannt, das einen Strahlregler und ein zuströmseitiges Vorsatzsieb hat. Zwischen dem Vorsatzsieb und der abströmseitig nachgeschalteten Funktionseinheit kann bei Bedarf ein Durchflussmengenregler zwischengeschaltet werden. Strahlregler, Durchflussmengenregler und Vorsatzsieb weisen dazu an ihren einander zugewandten Stirnseiten komplementär geformte Rastmittel auf.From the DE 195 10 734 A1 already a sanitary fitting is known, which has a jet regulator and an inflow-side attachment screen. If necessary, a flow rate regulator can be interposed between the front screen and the downstream downstream functional unit. Jet regulator, flow regulator and attachment strainer have on its mutually facing end faces complementary shaped locking means.

Durch das Zwischenschalten des Durchflussmengenreglers benötigt das vorbekannte sanitäre Einbauteil eine größere Einbaulänge. Da aber im Auslaufmundstück einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur nur eine begrenzte Einbauhöhe zum Einbau eines solchen Einbauteiles zur Verfügung steht, weisen das Vorsatzsieb und der Durchflussmengenregler im Vergleich zum Strahlregler einen geringeren Durchmesser auf, um in den lichten Durchflussquerschnitt der sanitären Auslaufarmatur vorstehen zu können.By interposing the flow regulator, the previously known sanitary fixture requires a larger installation length. However, since only a limited installation height is available for installing such a fitting in the outlet nozzle of a sanitary outlet fitting, the front screen and the flow regulator compared to the jet regulator on a smaller diameter in order to protrude into the clear flow cross section of the sanitary outlet fitting.

Dieses vorbekannte Einbauteil ist bei verschiedenen Auslaufarmaturen vorteilhaft einsetzbar, die einen ausreichenden und in etwa gleichen Durchflussquerschnitt aufweisen. Der lichte Durchflussquerschnitt der Auslaufarmatur steht aber einem solchen Einbauteil nicht immer zur Verfügung, wenn die unterschiedlichen Sanitärarmaturen verschiedener Hersteller in ihrem lichten Durchflussquerschnitt stark voneinander abweichen.This known built-in part is advantageously used in various outlet fittings, which have a sufficient and approximately equal flow area. However, the clear flow cross section of the outlet fitting is not always available to such a built-in component if the different sanitary fittings of different manufacturers deviate greatly in their clear flow cross-section.

Es besteht daher insbesondere die Aufgabe, ein vielseitig einsetzbares sanitäres Einbauteil der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, das in jedem Fall im Auslaufmundstück einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur unterzubringen und dessen Herstellung dennoch mit einem vergleichsweisen geringen Aufwand verbunden ist.It is therefore particularly the task of a versatile to create usable sanitary fitting of the type mentioned above, which accommodate in any case in the outlet mouthpiece of a sanitary outlet fitting and its production is still associated with a comparatively low cost.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei dem sanitären Einbauteil der eingangs erwähnten Art in den Merkmalen des geltenden Patentanspruchs 1.The achievement of this object is in the sanitary fitting of the type mentioned in the features of the valid claim 1.

Dem erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteil sind mehrere verschiedene, darin einsetzbare Funktionseinheiten zugeordnet, die wahlweise miteinander kombiniert werden können. Diese Funktionseinheiten können durch die zuströmseitige Einsetzöffnung eines Gehäuseteiles bis zu einem zugeordneten Einsetzanschlag in das Gehäuseinnere eingesetzt werden. Dabei weist der einem Einsetzanschlag vor- und/oder nachgeschaltete Gehäusefreiraum eine Längserstreckung auf, die gleich oder größer als der maximale Abstand zwischen dem Einsetzanschlag einerseits und der in diesen Gehäusefreiraum vorstehenden Funktionseinheit-Stirnseite der dem Einbauteil zugeordneten Funktionseinheiten andererseits ist. Da somit alle dem Einbauteil zugeordneten Funktionseinheiten im Gehäuseinneren Platz finden, weist das Außengehäuse des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles stets eine gleichbleibende Höhe auf, die an die vorhandene Einbauhöhe in den Auslaufmundstücken sanitärer Auslaufarmaturen angepaßt ist, praktisch ohne daß auch noch der zuströmseitige lichte Durchflußquerschnitt einer solchen Auslaufarmatur in Anspruch genommen werden müßte. Da jedes Einbauteil sich somit aus untereinander kombinierbaren Funktionseinheiten und Gehäuseteilen zusammenstellen läßt, ist die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles mit einem geringen Herstellungsaufwand verbunden.The built-in component according to the invention is assigned a plurality of different functional units which can be used therein and which can optionally be combined with one another. These functional units can be inserted through the inflow-side insertion opening of a housing part up to an assigned insertion stop in the housing interior. In this case, the housing free space upstream and / or downstream of an insertion stop has a longitudinal extension which is equal to or greater than the maximum distance between the insertion stop on the one hand and the functional unit end face of the functional unit front side assigned to this housing clearance on the other hand. Thus, since all the fixture associated functional units find their way inside the housing, the outer housing of the fitting according to the invention always has a constant height, which is adapted to the existing installation height in the outlet mouthpieces sanitary outlet fittings, practically without even the inflow-side clear flow area of such outlet fitting in Claim would have to be taken. Since each mounting part can thus be put together from one another combinable functional units and housing parts, the production of the built-in part according to the invention is associated with a low production cost.

Um im erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteil bei Bedarf auch mehrere Funktionseinheiten miteinander kombinieren zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Außengehäuse zumindest zwei miteinander verbundene oder verbindbare Gehäuseteile hat. Das Außengehäuse des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles kann somit aus zumindest zwei Gehäuseteilen bestehen, die nach Einsetzen der benötigten Funktionseinheiten miteinander verklebt, verschweißt oder dergleichen verbunden werden.Eine besonders einfach herstellbare und daher bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht jedoch vor, daß die zumindest zwei Gehäuseteile miteinander verrastbar oder dergleichen lösbar verbindbar sind.If necessary, several in the built-in component according to the invention To be able to combine functional units with each other, it is advantageous if the outer housing at least two together has connected or connectable housing parts. The outer housing of the built-in part according to the invention may thus consist of at least two housing parts which are glued together after insertion of the required functional units, welded or the like verbunden.Eine particularly easy to produce and therefore preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the at least two housing parts locked together or the like are releasably connectable.

Um die Gehäuseteile des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauteiles nicht nur fest, sondern auch möglichst dicht miteinander verbinden zu können, sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, daß zwei benachbarte Gehäuseteile stirnrandseitig ineinander greifen und daß ein erstes Gehäuseteil zumindest einen Rastvorsprung hat, der in eine zugeordnete Rastausnehmung im anderen Gehäuseteil eingreift. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Rastausnehmung und vorzugsweise auch der Rastvorsprung ringförmig umlaufend an den Gehäuseteilen angeordnet sind.To the housing parts of the insert according to the invention not only fixed, but also to connect as closely as possible, provides a preferred embodiment according to the invention, that two adjacent housing parts engage each other at the end edge and that a first housing part has at least one locking projection, in an associated recess engages in the other housing part. It is advantageous if the latching recess and preferably also the latching projection are arranged annularly circumferentially on the housing parts.

Die vielseitige Einsetzbarkeit und die Anzahl der Kombinationsmöglichkeiten läßt sich noch wesentlich erhöhen, wenn jedem Gehäuseteil mehrere verschiedene Funktionseinheiten zugeordnet sind. Dabei ist es beispielsweise auch möglich, daß das sanitäre Einbauteil oder zumindest eine seiner Funktionseinheiten als Strahlregler, Durchflußmengenregler, Durchflußbegrenzer oder Rückflußverhinderer ausgestaltet ist.The versatility and the number of possible combinations can be significantly increased if each housing part are assigned several different functional units. It is also possible, for example, that the sanitary fitting or at least one of its functional units is designed as a jet regulator, flow regulator, flow restrictor or backflow preventer.

So sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, daß das als Strahlregler ausgestaltete Einbauteil wenigstens eine zuströmseitige, als Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung ausgestaltete Funktionseinheit sowie wenigstens eine abströmseitige, als Strahlreguliereinrichtung ausgestaltete Funktionseinheit aufweist. Ein solches Einbauteil weist somit alle Funktionseinheiten auf, die zumindest für einen Strahlregler erforderlich sind.Thus, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the built-in part designed as a jet regulator has at least one inflow-side, designed as a beam decomposing device and at least one downstream functional unit designed as Strahlreguliereinrichtung. Such a built-in part thus has all the functional units that are required at least for a jet regulator.

Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Einbauteil zumindest eine abströmseitige Strahlreguliereinrichtung hat, die wenigstens eine Loch- oder Wabenplatte und/oder mindestens ein der Loch- oder Wabenplatte vorgeschaltetes Strahlreguliersieb aufweist.It is advantageous if the mounting part has at least one downstream Strahlreguliereinrichtung having at least one perforated or honeycomb plate and / or at least one of the perforated or honeycomb plate upstream Strahlregulersieb.

Ein solcher Strahlregler kann beispielsweise als unbelüfteter Strahlregler ausgebildet sein, wenn etwa aus hygienischen Gründen eine zusätzliche Belüftung des durchströmenden Wasserstrahles nicht gewünscht wird. Bevorzugt wird jedoch eine Ausführungsform, bei der wenigstens ein, vorzugsweise abströmseitiges Gehäuseteil zumindest eine Belüftungsöffnung zum Belüften des durchströmenden Wasserstrahls hat.Such a jet regulator can be designed, for example, as an unaerated jet regulator if, for hygienic reasons, for example, additional ventilation of the water jet flowing through is not desired. However, an embodiment in which at least one, preferably downstream, housing part has at least one ventilation opening for aerating the water jet flowing through is preferred.

Nach einem weiterbildenden Vorschlag gemäß der Erfindung von eigener schutzwürdiger Bedeutung ist vorgesehen, daß das Einbauteil zumindest zwei wahlweise verwendbare Gehäuseteile hat, von denen mindestens ein Gehäuseteil wenigstens eine Belüftungsöffnung hat und wenigstens ein anderes Gehäuseteil unbelüftet ist.After a further development proposal according to the invention of its own worthy worthy is provided that the mounting part has at least two selectively usable housing parts, of which at least one housing part has at least one ventilation opening and at least one other housing part is not ventilated.

Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn das Einbauteil baukastenartig beziehungsweise modular aufgebaut ist. Somit kann der benötigte Strahlregler, Durchflußbegrenzer, Durchflußmengenregler, Rückflußverhinderer oder dergleichen Einbauteil aus den Gehäuseteilen und Funktionseinheiten je nach Bedarf zusammengesetzt und kombiniert werden, die in einem solchen Baukastensystem vorhanden sind.It is expedient if the built-in component is modular or modular. Thus, the required jet regulator, flow restrictor, flow regulator, backflow preventer or the like built-in part of the housing parts and functional units can be assembled and combined as needed, which are present in such a modular system.

Die Funktionssicherheit eines solchen sanitären Einbauteiles läßt sich noch zusätzlich erhöhen, wenn dem Einbauteil ein Vorsatzsieb zuströmseitig vorgeschaltet ist.The reliability of such a sanitary fixture can be increased even further, if the fixture a front screen is upstream upstream.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung erfindungsgemäßer Ausführungsbeispiele in Verbindung mit den Ansprüchen sowie der Zeichnung. Die einzelnen Merkmale können je für sich oder zu mehreren bei einer Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung verwirklicht sein.Further features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments according to the invention in conjunction with the claims and the drawing. The individual features may be implemented individually or in combination in an embodiment according to the invention.

As if from a comparison of FIGS. 1 to 5 becomes clear, grip the housing parts 6, 7 at the edge edge into each other. On the inflow-side housing part 6, a latching projection 8 is provided which projects into the interior of the downstream housing part 7 and engages there in an associated latching groove or the like latching recess 9. The latching projection 8 and the latching recess 9 are annularly arranged circumferentially on the housing parts 6, 7.

Jedes der Gehäuseteile 6, 7 weist eine zuströmseitige Einsetzöffnung 10 auf, durch die wenigstens eine Funktionseinheit bis zu einem Einsetzanschlag in das Gehäuseinnere einsetzbar ist. Die Gehäuseteile 6, 7 sowie die Funktionseinheiten der Einbauteile 1, 3, 4 und 5 sind wahlweise verwendbare und gegebenenfalls auch miteinander kombinierbare Bestandteile eines zusammengehörigen Baukastensystems. Dieses Baukastensystem weist verschiedene Funktionseinheiten auf, die wahlweise eingesetzt werden können.Each of the housing parts 6, 7 has an inflow-side insertion opening 10, through which at least one functional unit can be inserted into the housing interior up to an insertion stop. The housing parts 6, 7 and the functional units of the built-in parts 1, 3, 4 and 5 are optionally usable and optionally also combinable components of a related modular system. This modular system has various functional units that can be used optionally.

So ist jedem der jeweils als Strahlregler ausgebildeten Einbauteile 1, 3, 4 und 5 eine Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 11 und eine Strahlreguliereinrichtung zugeordnet. Die in dem zuströmseitigen Gehäuseteil 6 angeordnete Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 11 weist eine Zerlegerplatte 12 auf, deren Plattenebene quer zur Strömungsrichtung angeordnet ist. Diese Zerlegerplatte 12 weist außenrandseitig strahlenförmig angeordnete kanalartige Strömungsführungsdurchbrüche 13 auf, wobei jedem dieser Strömungsführungsdurchbrüche 13 auf der zuströmseitigen Plattenebene der Zerlegerplatte 12 jeweils ein in Längsrichtung des Einbauteiles orientierter Stift 14 vorgeschaltet ist. Der auf die Zerlegerplatte 12 auftreffende Wasserstrahl wird somit abgebremst, im Bereich der Stifte 14 umgelenkt und in den Strömungsführungsdurchbrüchen 13 in viele Einzelstrahlen aufgeteilt. Diese Einzelstrahlen werden in der in Strömungsrichtung nachfolgenden Strahlreguliereinrichtung wieder zu einem weichen, nicht spritzenden homogenen Gesamtstrahl zusammengefaßt. Dabei sitzt die hutförmige Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 11 mit einem äußeren, als Gegenanschlag wirkenden Ringflansch auf einem nach innen vorspringenden und als Einsetzanschlag 18 dienenden Ringabsatz am Gehäuseinnenumfang des Gehäuseteiles 6 auf.Thus, each of the respectively designed as a jet regulator mounting parts 1, 3, 4 and 5, a beam decomposing device 11 and a Strahlreguliereinrichtung assigned. The jet decomposing device 11 arranged in the inflow-side housing part 6 has a burstering plate 12 whose plate plane is arranged transversely to the flow direction. This burster plate 12 has radially outer channel side arranged channel-like flow guide breakthroughs 13, wherein each of these flow guide openings 13 on the inflow side plate plane of the burying plate 12 is in each case an oriented in the longitudinal direction of the insert pin 14 upstream. The impinging on the Zerlegerplatte 12 water jet is thus braked, deflected in the region of the pins 14 and divided in the flow guide openings 13 in many individual beams. These individual jets are combined again in the downstream in the flow direction Strahlreguliereinrichtung to a soft, non-squirting homogeneous total beam. In this case, the hat-shaped jet decomposing device 11 is seated with an outer, acting as a counter-stop annular flange on an inwardly projecting and serving as an insertion stop 18 annular shoulder on the housing inner circumference of the housing part 6.

Die Strahlreguliereinrichtung aller Einbauteile 1, 3, 4 und 5 weist eine an der abströmseitigen Stirnseite des Gehäuseteiles 7 vorgesehene Lochplatte 15 auf, die beispielsweise sechseckige und wabenartig zueinander angeordnete Durchflußlöcher 16 haben kann. Diese Lochplatte 15 kann in das Gehäuseteil 7 eingelegt oder - wie hier - an das Gehäuseteil 7 einstückig angeformt sein.The Strahlreguliereinrichtung all mounting parts 1, 3, 4 and 5 has a provided on the downstream end side of the housing part 7 perforated plate 15, which may have hexagonal and honeycomb-like mutually arranged through holes 16, for example. This perforated plate 15 can be inserted into the housing part 7 or - as here - integrally formed on the housing part 7.

Um auch bei dem unbelüfteten Strahlregler in Figur 3 eine gute Vergleichmäßigung und Homogenisierung des ausströmenden Gesamtstrahles erreichen zu können, weist dessen Strahlreguliereinrichtung noch zusätzlich mehrere, in geringfügigem Abstand zueinander angeordnete Strahlreguliersiebe 17 auf. Diese eine Funktionseinheit bildenden Strahlreguliersiebe 17 sind in das Gehäuseteil 7 eingelegt und liegen mit ihrem als Gegenanschlag dienenden abströmseitigen Stirnende auf Stütznocken oder Stützlager 19 auf, die als Einsetzanschlag 19 dienen und an die zuströmseitige Stirnseite der Lochplatte 15 angeformt sind.Order also at the unventilated jet regulator in FIG. 3 To be able to achieve a good homogenization and homogenization of the outflowing total jet, its Strahlreguliereinrichtung still additionally several, at a small distance from each other arranged Strahlreguliersiebe 17 on. This forming a functional unit Strahlreguliersiebe 17 are inserted into the housing part 7 and are with their serving as a counter-stop downstream end face on support cams or support bearings 19, which serve as Einsetzanschlag 19 and are formed on the inflow-side end face of the perforated plate 15.

Dem Einsetzanschlag 18 ist im Außengehäuse 2 ein Gehäusefreiraum 20 vor- und ein weiterer Gehäusefreiraum 21 in Einsetzrichtung nachgeschaltet, um den zu- und abströmseitigen Überstand der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 11 aufnehmen zu können.The insertion stop 18 is a housing free space 20 in the outer housing 2 and a further housing free space 21 downstream in the insertion direction in order to accommodate the inflow and outflow supernatant of the beam decomposing device 11 can.

Dabei überdeckt sich der Gehäusefreiraum 21 zumindest teilweise mit dem Gehäusefreiraum 22, der zur Aufnahme der Strahlreguliersiebe 17 den Stütznocken oder Stützlagern 19 vorgeschaltet ist.In this case, the housing free space 21 at least partially overlaps with the housing free space 22, which is connected upstream of the supporting cam or support bearings 19 for receiving the jet regulating sieves 17.

Die Gehäusefreiräume 20, 21 und 22 sind in ihrer Längserstreckung so bemessen, daß diese gleich oder größer als der maximale Abstand zwischen den entsprechenden Einsetzanschlägen 18, 19 einerseits und der in die Gehäusefreiräume 20, 21 bzw. 22 vorstehenden Funktionseinheit-Stirnseite der dem Einbauteil 1, 3, 4 und 5 zugeordneten Funktionseinheiten andererseits ist.The housing clearances 20, 21 and 22 are dimensioned in their longitudinal extent so that these are equal to or greater than the maximum distance between the corresponding Einsetzanschlägen 18, 19 on the one hand and in the housing clearances 20, 21 and 22 above functional unit end face of the built-in parts 1, 3, 4 and 5 associated functional units on the other hand.

Während die Längserstreckung des den als Einsetzanschlag dienenden Stütznocken oder Stützlagern 19 vorgeschalteten Gehäusefreiraums 22 an die Längserstreckung der durch die Strahlreguliersiebe 17 gebildeten Funktionseinheit angepaßt ist, ist die Längserstreckung der Gehäusefreiräume 20, 21 auf den zu- und den abströmseitigen Überstand der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 11 ausgerichtet.While the longitudinal extension of the serving as insertion stop support cam or support bearings 19 upstream housing clearance 22 is adapted to the longitudinal extent of the formed by the Strahlreguliersiebe 17 functional unit, the longitudinal extension of the housing clearances 20, 21 aligned on the upstream and downstream supernatant of the beam splitting device 11.

Wie aus einem Vergleich der Figuren 1 und 3 deutlich wird, sind zwei unterschiedlich ausgestaltete Gehäuseteile 7 vorgesehen, die je nach Bedarf wahlweise verwendet werden können. Während das Gehäuseteil 7 in Figur 3 unbelüftet ist, weist das Gehäuseteil 7 in Figur 1 mehrere schlitzförmige Belüftungsöffnungen 23 auf, um den durchströmenden Wasserstrahl belüften zu können.As if from a comparison of FIGS. 1 and 3 becomes clear, two differently designed housing parts 7 are provided, which can be optionally used as needed. While the housing part 7 in FIG. 3 is not ventilated, the housing part 7 in FIG. 1 a plurality of slot-shaped ventilation openings 23 in order to ventilate the water jet flowing through can.

Aus einem Vergleich der Figuren 1 und 3 einerseits und der Figuren 4 und 5 andererseits ist zu erkennen, daß die Einbauteile 4, 5 ein weiteres separates Gehäuseteil 30 aufweisen, das auf den Einsetzanschlag 18 aufgesetzt ist. Dieses Gehäuseteil 30 hat einen radial nach innen vorspringenden Ringflansch, dessen zuströmseitige Ringfläche vorgeschalteten Funktionseinheiten, wie beispielsweise der hutförmigen Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 11, als Einsetzanschlag 29 dient.From a comparison of FIGS. 1 and 3 on the one hand and the FIGS. 4 and 5 On the other hand, it can be seen that the mounting parts 4, 5 have a further separate housing part 30 which is placed on the insertion stop 18. This housing part 30 has a radially inwardly projecting annular flange, whose inflow-side annular surface upstream functional units, such as the hat-shaped jet disintegrating device 11, serves as insertion stop 29.

In die Hutöffnung der hutförmigen Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 11 sind weitere Funktionseinheiten einsetzbar. So weist das Einbauteil 4 in Figur 4 einen Durchflußbegrenzer 28 auf, der im wesentlichen als Ring- oder Drosselscheibe ausgebildet ist und den Durchflußquerschnitt verengt. Demgegenüber ist in die Hutöffnung der dem Einbauteil 5 zugeordneten Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 11 stattdessen ein Durchflußmengenregler 24 eingesetzt, der ein als Gummiring ausgebildetes Regelorgan aus elastomerem Material hat. Das Regelorgan 25 dieses Durchflußmengenreglers 24 begrenzt zwischen sich und dem benachbarten Durchflußmengenregler-Innenumfang einen Steuerspalt 26, dessen lichter Durchflußquerschnitt durch das sich unter dem Wasserdruck verformende Regelorgan 25 verändert wird.In the hat opening of the hat-shaped beam decomposing device 11 further functional units can be used. Thus, the fitting 4 in FIG. 4 a flow restrictor 28 which is formed substantially as a ring or throttle plate and narrows the flow area. In contrast, in the hat opening of the installation part 5 associated beam decomposing device 11 instead a flow regulator 24 is used, which has a trained as a rubber ring control member made of elastomeric material. The control element 25 of this flow control device 24 defines between itself and the adjacent Durchflußmengenregler inner circumference a control gap 26, the light flow cross section is changed by the under the water pressure deforming control member 25.

Um die Funktionssicherheit der Einbauteile 1, 3, 4 und 5 noch zusätzlich zu erhöhen, ist diesen ein Vorsatzsieb 27 zuströmseitig vorgeschaltet. Dieses Vorsatzsieb ist mit seinem Außenrand am Stirninnenrand der Strahlzerlegeeinrichtung 11 lösbar verrastet.In order to increase the reliability of the mounting parts 1, 3, 4 and 5 in addition, this is a front screen 27 upstream upstream. This attachment screen is releasably latched with its outer edge on the front edge of the jet cutting device 11.

Da die hier dargestellten Einbauteile 1, 3, 4 und 5 trotz ihres baukastenartigen Aufbaus stets eine gleichbleibende Bauhöhe aufweisen, können sie ohne weiteres im Auslaufmundstück einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur untergebracht werden. Dabei begünstigt der modulare Aufbau der hier dargestellten Einbauteile 1, 3, 4 und 5 einen geringen Herstellungsaufwand.Since the built-in parts 1, 3, 4 and 5 shown here, despite their modular structure always have a constant height, they can be accommodated easily in the outlet nozzle of a sanitary outlet fitting. The modular design of the built-in parts 1, 3, 4 and 5 shown here favors a low production cost.
