Abstract

The interior of a shower head contains four nozzle elements (19), whose front ends are mounted in funnel-shaped openings (21) of the jet plate (2). The rear end of each nozzle element is respectively mounted in an eccentric manner in a disc (16), which can be rotated about a fixed axis (14) using a turbine wheel (10). The nozzle elements, from which the water streams, thus gyrate around an axis that runs perpendicular to the jet plate.

Description

Beschreibung : Description :
Brausekopf für eine sanitäre BrauseShower head for a sanitary shower
Brauseköpfe sind als fest installierte Kopfbrausen, Seitenbrausen oder auch als Handbrausen am Ende eines Schlauches bekannt. Es gibt die unterschiedlichsten Arten von Strahlen, die mit solchen Brauseköpfen ausgegeben werden. Bekannt sind pulsierende Strahlen, belüftete Strahlen und Strahlen, die relativ langsam ihre Wassermenge ändern.Shower heads are known as permanently installed overhead showers, side showers or also as hand showers at the end of a hose. There are various types of jets that are emitted with such shower heads. Pulsating jets, aerated jets and jets that change their amount of water relatively slowly are known.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Brausekopf zu schaffen, der ein optisch ansprechendes und angenehm zu spürendes Strahlbild erzeugt.The invention has for its object to provide a shower head that produces a visually appealing and pleasant to feel spray pattern.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung einen Brause- köpf mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vor. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche, deren Wortlaut ebenso wie der Wortlaut der Zusammenfassung durch Bezugnahme zum Inhalt der Beschreibung gemacht wird.To achieve this object, 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.
Während bei den bekannten Brausen die Menge und ggf. auch dieWhile in the known showers, the amount and possibly also the
Form des Strahles geändert wird, wird nun zum ersten Mal auch die Richtung eines aus dem Brausekopf austretenden Wasserstrahls geändert, und zwar kontinuierlich. Auf diese Weise lässt sich ein Strahl schaffen, der bei festem Brausekopf auf der Haut einer sich duschenden Person wandert, beispielsweise längs eines geschlossenen Weges. Hierdurch lässt sich nicht nur ein größerer Bereich des Körpers benetzen, sondern auch eine Massagewirkung erreichen, die jedoch anders ist als bei den bisherigen Massagebrausen. Denn der Strahl bleibt nicht auf der gleichen Stelle, sondern ändert diese Stelle.If the shape of the jet is changed, the direction of a water jet emerging from the shower head is now also changed for the first time, continuously. In this way, a jet can be created that wanders on the skin of a showering person with a fixed shower head, for example along a closed path. As a result, not only can a larger area of the body be wetted, but also a massage effect can be achieved, which is, however, different from that of the previous massage showers. Because the beam does not stay in the same place, but changes this place.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Antriebsmittel während des Ausströmens des Wassers aus der Strahlenaustrittsöffnung arbeitet .In a further development of the invention, it can be provided that the drive means works while the water flows out of the jet exit opening.
Besonders günstig ist es, wenn das Antriebsmittel durch das strömende Wasser betätigt wird. Es sind daher keine zusätzli- chen Einrichtungen erforderlich, um das Antriebsmittel zu betätigen.It is particularly favorable if the drive means is actuated by the flowing water. No additional devices are therefore required to actuate the drive means.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Richtung der Achse der Strahlaustrittsöffnung derart geändert wird, dass sie mindestens teilweise auf einem Kegel liegt, insbesondere einem Kreiskegel.In a development of the invention it can be provided that the direction of the axis of the beam outlet opening is changed such that it lies at least partially on a cone, in particular a circular cone.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ebenfalls möglich, dass die Achse derart bewegt wird, dass sie auf einem Doppelegel liegt.According to the invention, it is also possible for the axis to be moved in such a way that it lies on a double gel.
Die Erfindung schlägt vor, dass die Spitze des Kegels im Bereich der Strahlscheibe liegt, so dass sich sowohl der Platzbedarf als auch das Aussehen für die Brause nur wenig gegenüber bekannten Brausen ändert.The invention proposes that the tip of the cone lies in the area of the spray disc, so that both the space requirement and the appearance for the shower head change only slightly compared to known shower heads.
Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Strahlscheibe mehrere Strahlaustrittsöffnungen aufweist, die in einem beliebigen Muster angeordnet sein können.According to the invention, it can be provided that the jet disk has a plurality of jet outlet openings, which can be arranged in any pattern.
Wenn mehrere Strahlaustrittsöffnungen vorhanden sind, so kann erfindungsgemäß das Antriebsmittel derart ausgebildet sein, dass es die Richtung der Achse von mehr als einer Strahlaustrittsöffnung ändert. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, dass bei einigen Strahlaustrittsöffnungen die Richtung geän- dert wird,, während andere Strahlaustrittsöffnungen einen Strahl immer in der gleichen Richtung abgeben.If a plurality of beam outlet openings are present, the drive means can be designed according to the invention in such a way that it changes the direction of the axis of more than one beam outlet opening. Of course, it is also possible that the direction of some of the beam outlets is changed. is changed, while other jet outlets always emit a jet in the same direction.
Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Richtungen der Achse der mehreren Strahlaustrittsöffnungen synchron verändert werden. Dies macht den Antrieb einfach, da die Bewegung von einem einzigen Antriebsmittel abgeleitet werden kann.According to the invention, it can be provided that the directions of the axis of the plurality of beam outlet openings are changed synchronously. This makes the drive simple since the movement can be derived from a single drive means.
Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Richtungen der Achsen der mehreren Strahlaustrittsöffnungen gleichphasig verändert werden, was zu einem optisch geschlossenen Strahlbild führt.According to the invention, it can be provided that the directions of the axes of the plurality of beam outlet openings are changed in phase, which leads to an optically closed beam pattern.
Es ist aber auch möglich, dass die Richtungen außerphasig verändert werden können.However, it is also possible that the directions can be changed out of phase.
Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, die Bewegung so auszubilden, dass die Kegelachse, um die der Strahl verschwenkt wird, senkrecht zur Strahlscheibe verläuft.According to the invention, provision can be made for the movement to be designed such that the cone axis, about which the beam is pivoted, runs perpendicular to the beam disc.
Es ist denkbar, zum Verändern der Richtung der Achse der Strahlaustrittsöffnung die gesamte Strahlscheibe taumeln zu lassen. Die Erfindung schlägt vor, die Strahlaustrittsöffnung in einem gegenüber der Strahlscheibe verschwenkbaren Düsen- element anzuordnenden, so dass die Änderung der Richtung derIt is conceivable for the entire jet disk to wobble in order to change the direction of the axis of the jet outlet opening. The invention proposes to arrange the jet outlet opening in a nozzle element which is pivotable relative to the jet disk, so that the change in the direction of the
Achse durch ein Verschwenken dieses Düsenelementes gegenüber der Strahlscheibe und damit auch gegenüber dem Gehäuse durchgeführt werden kann.Axis can be carried out by pivoting this nozzle element with respect to the jet disc and thus also with respect to the housing.
Insbesondere kann in Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, dass das Düsenelement in einer Öffnung der Strahlscheibe gelagert ist, insbesondere das Strahlaustrittsende des Düsenelements. Dann erfolgt die Bewegung des Düsenelementes innerhalb des Gehäuses des Brausekopfs. Natürlich kann es, sofern dies gewünscht ist, auch möglich sein, dass das Düsenelement aus der Strahlscheibe nach außen herausragt, so dass dann die Bewegung des Düsenelementes von außen sichtbar ist.In particular, it can be provided in a development of the invention that the nozzle element is mounted in an opening of the jet disc, in particular the jet outlet end of the nozzle element. Then the movement of the nozzle element takes place within the housing of the shower head. Of course it can if this is desired, it may also be possible for the nozzle element to protrude outward from the jet disc, so that the movement of the nozzle element is then visible from the outside.
Es ist ebenfalls möglich, das Düsenelement mit Hilfe von elastischen Einrichtungen an der Strahlscheibe zu lagern, die eine solche taumelnde Bewegung des Düsenelements zulassen.It is also possible to mount the nozzle element on the jet disc with the aid of elastic devices which permit such a wobbling movement of the nozzle element.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Düsenelement im Bereich seines dem Austrittsende abgewandten hinteren Endes in eine durch das Antriebsmittel bewegbare Scheibe eingreift.In a further development of the invention it can be provided that the nozzle element engages in the area of its rear end facing away from the outlet end in a disk which can be moved by the drive means.
Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass alle Düsenelemente in eine gemeinsame Scheibe eingreifen, die dann beispielsweise in einer kreisförmigen Bewegung exzentrisch bewegt wird, ohne selbst verdreht zu werden.According to the invention, it can be provided that all the nozzle elements engage in a common disk, which is then moved eccentrically, for example in a circular movement, without being rotated itself.
Besonders günstig ist es jedoch, wenn jedes Düsenelement in je eine Scheibe eingreift, die um eine gegenüber dem Brausekopf feste Achse rotierend angetrieben wird.However, it is particularly expedient if each nozzle element engages in a respective disk which is driven to rotate about an axis which is fixed relative to the shower head.
Zum rotierenden Antreiben kann eine Turbine verwendet werden.A turbine can be used for rotating driving.
Weitere Merkmale, Einzelheiten und Vorzüge der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sowie anhand der Zeichnung. Hierbei zeigen:Further features, details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention and from the drawing. Here show:

Figur 1 zeigt einen Schnitt durch einen Teil eines Brause- kopfs. Eine Strahlscheibe 1 weist eine leicht konvex geformte Außenseite 2 auf, in der mehreren Öffnungen 3 zu sehen sind. An der gegenüberliegenden Rückseite 4 der Strahlscheibe 1 ist ein zylindrischer Ansatz 5 angeformt, der ein Außengewinde 6 zum Einschrauben in das Gehäuse eines Brausekopfs aufweist. Nach hinten ist die Anordnung des Ansatzes 5 durch eine Kappe 7 abgedeckt, die in ihrer Mitte eine in den Ansatz 5 hineinragende Welle 8 aufweist. An der radialen Außenseite dieser Anordnung ist an einer Stelle eine Öffnung 9 gebildet, durch die das in den Brausekopf einströmende Wasser von außen nach innen in den Ansatz 5 einströmen kann.FIG. 1 shows a section through part of a shower head. A jet disc 1 has a slightly convex outer surface 2, in which several openings 3 can be seen. A cylindrical extension 5 is formed on the opposite rear side 4 of the spray disc 1 and has an external thread 6 for screwing into the housing of a shower head. To the rear, the arrangement of the extension 5 is covered by a cap 7, which has a shaft 8 protruding into the extension 5 in its center. On the radial outside of this arrangement, an opening 9 is formed at one point, through which the water flowing into the shower head can flow into the attachment 5 from the outside inwards.
Auf der Welle 8 ist ein Turbinenrad 10 gelagert, das eine Nabe 11 aufweist. Die Nabe 11 ist als Zahnrad ausgebildet, siehe auch Figur 4. Die Nabe 11 greift mit radialem Abstand durch eine zentrale Öffnung 12 einer Scheibe 13 hindurch, die ortsfest in dem Ansatz 5 der Strahlscheibe 1 gelagert ist. Die Scheibe 13 weist vier Löcher 14 auf, in denen Lageransätze 15 von Scheiben 16 gelagert sind. Die Scheiben 16 sind mit Hilfe der Lageransätze 15 gegenüber der Scheibe 13 verdreh- bar. Die Scheiben 16 weisen im Bereich ihres Umfangs eine Verzahnung 17 auf, die in die verzahnte Nabe 11 eingreift.A turbine wheel 10 having a hub 11 is mounted on the shaft 8. The hub 11 is designed as a toothed wheel, see also FIG. 4. The hub 11 engages at a radial distance through a central opening 12 in a disk 13, which is fixed in position in the shoulder 5 of the jet disk 1. The disc 13 has four holes 14 in which bearing lugs 15 of discs 16 are mounted. The disks 16 are rotated relative to the disk 13 with the aid of the bearing lugs 15. bar. In the area of their circumference, the disks 16 have a toothing 17 which engages in the toothed hub 11.
Bei Verdrehung des Turbinenrades 10 werden die Scheiben 16 daher verdreht.When the turbine wheel 10 is rotated, the disks 16 are therefore rotated.
Jede Scheibe 16 weist eine Öffnung 18 auf, die bei Verdrehung der Scheiben 16 längs eines Kreises umläuft.Each disk 16 has an opening 18 which rotates along a circle when the disks 16 are rotated.
Zwischen den Scheiben 16 und der Innenseite der Strahlscheibe 1 sind im dargestellten Beispiel insgesamt vier Düsenelemente 19 angeordnet. Jedes Düsenelement 19 greift mit seiner abgerundeten Vorderseite 20 in eine trichterartige Ausnehmung 21 ein, die hinter den Öffnungen 3 angeordnet ist. Die Dicke der Strahlscheibe 1 ist im Bereich der Öffnung 3 so gewählt, dass die Dusenelemente 19 nicht aus dem Trichter 21 herausrutschen können.In the example shown, a total of four nozzle elements 19 are arranged between the disks 16 and the inside of the jet disk 1. Each nozzle element 19 engages with its rounded front side 20 in a funnel-like recess 21 which is arranged behind the openings 3. The thickness of the spray disc 1 is selected in the region of the opening 3 such that the nozzle elements 19 cannot slip out of the funnel 21.
Im Bereich ihres der Vorderseite 20 abgewandten Endes haben die Düsenelemente 19 einen Lageransätz 22, der in die Öffnungen 18 der Scheibe 16 eingesteckt ist.In the area of its end facing away from the front side 20, the nozzle elements 19 have a bearing shoulder 22 which is inserted into the openings 18 in the disk 16.
Diese Lageransätze 15 der Scheiben 16 sind in axialer Verlängerung des Mittelpunkt der Öffnungen 3 der Strahlscheibe 1 angeordnet. Beim Verdrehen der Scheiben 16 werden daher die Düsenelemente um die Verbindungslinie zwischen den Lageransätzen 15 und dem Mittelpunkt der Öffnung 3 herum in einer Taumelbewegung verschwenkt.These bearing lugs 15 of the disks 16 are arranged in an axial extension of the center of the openings 3 of the jet disk 1. When the disks 16 are rotated, the nozzle elements are therefore pivoted about the connecting line between the bearing projections 15 and the center of the opening 3 in a wobbling movement.
Die Düsenelement 19 haben eine axial verlaufende Öffnung 23, deren Vorderseite die Strahlaustrittsöffnung bildet. Etwa auf der halben Länge der Längserstreckung der Düsenelemente 19 sind diese seitlich offen, siehe Figur 3, so dass der dem Turbinenrad 10 zugewandten Teil der Düsenelemente 19 die Form eines Bügels 24 aufweist. Von den beiden offenen Seiten 25 her kann daher das Wasser aus dem Brausekopf in die Düsenelemente 19 einströmen und diese durch das vordere Ende verlassen. Die Achse der Öffnungen 23 bildet damit die Achse, längs der der Wasserstrahl ausströmt.The nozzle element 19 has an axially extending opening 23, the front of which forms the jet outlet opening. Approximately half of the length of the longitudinal extension of the nozzle elements 19 is laterally open, see FIG. 3, so that the part of the nozzle elements 19 facing the turbine wheel 10 has the shape a bracket 24. The water can therefore flow from the shower head into the nozzle elements 19 from the two open sides 25 and leave them through the front end. The axis of the openings 23 thus forms the axis along which the water jet flows out.
Figur 5 zeigt die ortsfest im Gehäuse angeordnete Scheibe 13 , die eigentlich als Rad ausgebildet ist. Um die zentrale Öffnung 12 herum ist ein Ring 26 gebildet, von dem aus vier Speichen 27 nach außen führen. Außen ist wieder ein Ring 28 angeordnet, der an einer Stelle eine Kerbe 29 aufweist. Die Kerbe 29 dient zur lagerichtigen Festlegung der Scheibe 13 im Gehäuse.FIG. 5 shows the disk 13 arranged in a stationary manner in the housing, which is actually designed as a wheel. A ring 26 is formed around the central opening 12, from which four spokes 27 lead to the outside. A ring 28 is again arranged on the outside, which has a notch 29 at one point. The notch 29 is used to fix the disc 13 in the housing in the correct position.
Etwa mittig in radialer Richtung sind in den Speichen 27 die Öffnungen 14 angeordnet, die die Lagerung für die Zahnräder 16 bilden.The openings 14, which form the bearing for the gearwheels 16, are arranged approximately centrally in the radial direction in the spokes 27.
Strömt das Wasser durch die Öffnung 9 in das Innere des An- satzes 5, so treibt es zunächst das Turbinenrad 10 an.If the water flows through the opening 9 into the interior of the attachment 5, it first drives the turbine wheel 10.
Gleichzeitig strömt das Wasser durch die Zwischenräume 30 zwischen den Speichen 27 der Scheibe 13 zu den Düsenelementen 19, und von dort durch deren Öffnungen 23 nach außen. Die Verdrehung des Turbinenrades 10 führt zu einer Drehung der Scheiben 16 um die ortsfesten Achsen. Die Verdrehung derAt the same time, the water flows through the spaces 30 between the spokes 27 of the disk 13 to the nozzle elements 19, and from there through the openings 23 to the outside. The rotation of the turbine wheel 10 leads to a rotation of the disks 16 about the fixed axes. The twisting of the
Scheiben 16 führt zu der bereits erwähnte taumelnden Bewegung der Düsenelemente 19. Dies bedeutet, dass die Richtung der aus dem Brausekopf austretenden Strahlen kontinuierlich verändert wird, und zwar im dargestellten Beispiel längs eines Kreiskegels, dessen Spitze etwa in der Strahlscheibe 1 liegt. Alle Düsenelemente 19 werden mit gleicher Winkelgeschwindigkeit bewegt. Discs 16 lead to the already mentioned tumbling movement of the nozzle elements 19. This means that the direction of the jets emerging from the shower head is continuously changed, in the example shown along a circular cone, the tip of which lies approximately in the jet disc 1. All nozzle elements 19 are moved at the same angular velocity.
