Definitions

  • a water fitting according to the preamble of claim 1 is made EP-A-688,909. It is a water faucet with electrical control.
  • a neck has connections for cold and hot water.
  • an adjustable Mixing valve installed in the neck. Downstream of this is a solenoid valve, its outlet in an arm with a water outlet mouthpiece empties.
  • a presence detector installed in the nozzle, which automatically closes the solenoid valve when approaching a hand turns on.
  • US-A-6,082,407 discloses a water faucet with a replaceable housing part and a proximity sensor by a battery is powered.
  • the connection of the battery with The proximity sensor is via a switch that is connected to a Battery cover is arranged. If the housing part is put on, so the switch is switched by a pin to "on" and so that the battery is connected to the proximity sensor. This allows pre-assembly of the battery. At a maintenance is However, it is possible to remove the housing part with the valve open.
  • the present invention is based on the object, a safe assembly and disassembly of the housing for maintenance to reach. This task is characterized by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the water fitting comprises a cylindrical neck 1, the e.g. is mounted on a sink 2.
  • the neck 1 hat at least one water connection 3.
  • the connection 3 is over a line 4 to the input of a magnetic diaphragm valve. 5 connected. Its output leads to an outlet channel 6
  • Neck 1 is also a known electronic unit 8 with a proximity sensor 9 for automatically turning on Valve 5 included in the approach of a hand, the battery powered is.
  • the proximity sensor 9 is designed as a light barrier, with a transmitting diode 10 and a receiving diode 11.
  • nozzle 1 On the nozzle 1 is a tubular, curved housing 15th attached and secured with a screw 16.
  • a discharge line 17 is arranged, which has a pluggable Line 18 is connected to the channel 6.
  • the free end 19 of Screw 16 protrudes into one between the diodes 10, 11 on the Unit 8 arranged nozzle 20.
  • the nozzle 20 has on the Connecting line between the diodes 10, 11 a longitudinal slot 21, which is narrower than the diameter of the end 19.
  • the housing 15 Before the Diodes 10, 11, the housing 15 has a window 22 made of a transparent Disc.
  • the receiving diode 11 not only measures that of the approaching one Hand thrown back light, but also reflected light off the immediate vicinity of the diodes 10, 11.
  • the unit 8 becomes tuned in operation so that this stray light has no effect on the functioning of the valve has.
  • the unit 8 is now according to the invention designed such that the valve 5 is automatically turned off when this condition entry.
  • the unit 8 thus not only has a lower limit for the light intensity received by the receiving diode 11, when it exceeds the valve 5 turns on, but in addition an upper limit, when exceeded the Valve 5 is automatically turned off, regardless of whether a hand is near the sensor 9 or not. Both limits are adjustable.
  • the sampling can also be done with a special receiving diode (2 receiving diodes).
  • the valve 5 closes on the closing signal delayed. Because loosening the screw 13 takes a while, it is ensured that the valve is closed on time, before the housing 17 can be pulled away from the nozzle 1.
  • By the inventive design is achieved that when removing of the housing 15 for maintenance, e.g. for battery change, no water can leak from the valve.
  • the inventive training is of course also suitable for Fittings with a cold and hot water connection and a adjustable mixing valve that the switching valve 5 before or is downstream.
