Abstract

A urinal has an odour lock with a mug-shaped housing (37) and a collector basin (3) forming an inlet (6). The housing incorporates a siphon (17) that prevents passage of gas from an outlet (21) to the inlet (6). A fragrant agent is inserted (11) below the inlet (6) within an essentially dry zone on top of a sieve (16). Air rising through the siphon (17) flushes around the fragrant insert and picks up the aroma. The fragrant insert is located under the cover (10) and may be exchanged with the siphon.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geruchsverschluss für ein wasserloses oder wasserarmes Urinal, mit einem becherförmigen Gehäuse, das an einem oberen Ende an einen Einlass anzuschliessen ist und an einem unteren Ende einen in eine Ablaufleitung führenden Auslass aufweist, mit einem Siphon, der einen Durchtritt von Gas vom Auslass zum Einlass verhindert und mit einem Duftmitteleinsatz.The invention relates to an odor trap for a waterless or waterless urinal, with a cup-shaped housing which is to be connected at an upper end to an inlet and at a lower end an outlet leading into a drain line, with a siphon, the passage of gas from Outlet to the inlet prevented and with a fragrance insert.

Ein Geruchsverschluss der genannten Art ist im Stand der Technik aus der GB 2 356 565 A bekannt geworden. Der Duftmitteleinsatz ist hier ein sogenannter Duftstein, der unter einer Haube über dem Einlass angeordnet ist. Die Haube dient hier als Spritzschutz und diese ist unten offen. Bildet sich über dem Einlass ein Urinsee, so wird der Duftstein von Urin umspült und dieser wird vom Duftstein aromatisiert. Nachteilig ist bei diesem Geruchsverschluss, dass der Duftstein vergleichsweise schnell abgebaut wird und dass trotz des Duftsteines eine Wasserspülung erforderlich ist, wenn ein im Wesentlichen geruchsfreier Raum gefordert ist.An odor trap of the type mentioned has become known in the prior art from GB 2 356 565 A. The fragrance insert is here a so-called fragrance stone, which is arranged under a hood over the inlet. The hood serves as a splash guard and this is open at the bottom. If a urine lake forms above the inlet, the scent stone is bathed in urine and it is flavored by the scent stone. A disadvantage of this odor trap that the fragrance stone is degraded comparatively quickly and that despite the aroma stone, a water rinse is required when a substantially odorless space is required.

Durch die EP 1 247 910 A des Anmelders ist ein Geruchsverschluss bekannt geworden, der für ein wasserloses oder wasserarmes Urinal an sich geeignet ist.By EP 1 247 910 A of the Applicant an odor trap is known, which is suitable for a waterless or low-water urinal in itself.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Geruchsverschluss der genannten Gattung zu schaffen, bei dem die Geruchsausbreitung noch weitergehend verhindert ist.The invention has for its object to provide an odor trap of the type mentioned, in which the odor spreading is further prevented.

Die Erfindung ist bei einem gattungsgemässen Geruchsverschluss dadurch gelöst, dass der Duftmitteleinsatz unterhalb des Einlasses in einem im Wesentlichen trockenen Bereich angeordnet ist.The invention is achieved in a generic odor trap in that the fragrance insert is disposed below the inlet in a substantially dry area.

Beim erfindungsgemässen Geruchsverschluss befindet sich der Duftmitteleinsatz somit nicht über dem Einlass, sondern unter diesem in einem im Wesentlichen trocknen Bereich. Dies hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass der Duftmitteleinsatz nicht von Flüssigkeit umspült ist und damit wesentlich länger haltbar ist. Der erfindungsgemässe Geruchsverschluss eignet sich deshalb besonders für einen solchen, bei dem ein Siphoneinsatz vorgesehen ist, der nach einer vorbestimmten zeit ausgewechselt wird. Da beim erfindungsgemässen Geruchsverschluss der Duftmitteleinsatz vergleichsweise lange haltbar ist, kann dieser gleichzeitig mit dem Siphoneinsatz ausgewechselt werden.In the case of the odor trap according to the invention, the use of the fragrance is thus not above the inlet but below it in a substantially dry area. This has the significant advantage that the use of fragrance is not lapped by liquid and thus much longer lasting. The odor trap according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for one in which a siphon insert is provided, which is replaced after a predetermined time. Since the odor trap according to the invention, the fragrance use is relatively durable, this can be replaced simultaneously with the siphon insert.

Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemässen Geruchsverschlusses besteht darin, dass die im Siphon anstehende Flüssigkeit beim Aufsteigen im trocknen Bereich vom Duftmitteleinsatz aromatisiert wird. Eventuelle aus dem Einlass austretende Luft ist damit aromatisiert und damit eine unerwünschte Geruchsausbreitung weitgehend verhindert. Der erfindungsgemässe Geruchsverschluss eignet sich deshalb insbesondere für ein wasserloses Urinal.A further significant advantage of the inventive odor trap is that the liquid present in the siphon is aromatized when rising in the dry area of fragrance use. Any air escaping from the inlet is thus flavored and thus largely prevents unwanted odor spread. The inventive odor trap is therefore particularly suitable for a waterless urinal.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Duftmitteleinsatz in einem auswechselbaren Siphoneinsatz angeordnet ist. Beim Auswechseln des Siphoneinsatzes kann damit in einfacher Weise gleichzeitig der Duftmitteleinsatz ausgewechselt werden. Grundsätzlich ist es aber auch möglich, dass der Duftmitteleinsatz allein ausgewechselt wird. Der Siphoneinsatz muss hierbei nicht aus dem Gehäuse herausgenommen werden.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the fragrance agent insert is arranged in a replaceable siphon insert. When replacing the Siphoneinsatzes can thus replaced at the same time the use of fragrance in a simple manner become. In principle, it is also possible that the fragrance agent is replaced alone. The siphon insert does not have to be removed from the housing.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Duftmitteleinsatz auf einem Sieb aufliegt. Der Duftmitteleinsatz kann hierbei besonders wirksam durch aufströmende Luft umströmt und damit aromatisiert werden.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the fragrance insert rests on a sieve. The use of fragrances can be flowed around particularly effectively by flowing air and thus flavored.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Duftmitteleinsatz unterhalb eines Deckels angeordnet und von diesem Deckel seitlich gehalten ist. Dies ergibt eine besonders einfache Montage. Der Duftmitteleinsatz, der hier vorzugsweise ein Duftstein ist, wird durch Aufsetzen des Deckels gehalten. Weitere Befestigungsmittel für den Duftmitteleinsatz sind nicht erforderlich.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the fragrance agent insert is arranged below a lid and held laterally by this lid. This results in a particularly simple installation. The fragrance insert, which is preferably a fragrance stone here, is held by placing the lid. Other fasteners for fragrance use are not required.

Ist gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass zwischen dem Duftmitteleinsatz und dem Deckel ein Zwischenraum für den Durchtritt angereicherter Luft vorgesehen ist, so ist eine besonders intensive Luftzirkulation möglich, bei welcher der Duftmitteleinsatz, der auch hier vorzugsweise ein Duftstein ist, intensiv von der angereicherten Luft umspült wird. Die Luft wird hierbei vom Duftmitteleinsatz aromatisiert.Is provided according to a development of the invention that a space for the passage of enriched air is provided between the fragrance agent and the lid, so a particularly intense air circulation is possible in which the fragrance insert, which is also preferably a scent stone, intensively enriched from the Air is lapped. The air is flavored by the fragrance use.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass unterhalb des Einlasses ein sich nach unten erstreckendes Einlaufrohr angeordnet ist. Dieses Einlaufrohr mündet vorzugsweise unterhalb eines Siebes und leitet den Urin in den Siphon.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that a downwardly extending inlet pipe is arranged below the inlet. This inlet tube preferably opens below a sieve and passes the urine into the siphon.

Eine Geruchsausbreitung kann dann besonders wirksam verhindert werden, wenn gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung im Gehäuse Rückstaumittel vorgesehen sind, die so angeordnet sind, dass sie angereicherte Luft zum Duftmitteleinsatz leiten. Diese Rückstaumittel sind dann besonders wirksam, wenn sie gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung blendenförmig ausgebildet und am unteren Ende des Einlaufrohres angeordnet sind. Eine besonders einfache Realisierung dieser Rückstaumittel ergibt sich dann, wenn gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung diese an einem Sieb angeordnet sind. Dieses Sieb dient dann gleichzeitig als Träger für den Duftmitteleinsatz.Odor propagation can be prevented particularly effectively if, according to a development of the invention, back pressure means are provided in the housing, which are arranged so that they Transfer enriched air to the fragrance feed. This back pressure means are particularly effective if, according to a development of the invention, they are designed to be iris-shaped and arranged at the lower end of the inlet pipe. A particularly simple realization of this back pressure means arises when, according to a development of the invention, these are arranged on a sieve. This sieve then serves as a carrier for the fragrance use.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie der Zeichnung.Further advantageous features emerge from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen unteren Abschnitt eines an sich üblichen Urinalbeckens 2, das mit einem nach unten gerichteten Stutzen 4 einen Auslass bildet. In das Urinalbecken 2 ist von oben ein Sammelbecken 3 eingesetzt, das in einem unteren Bereich einen Einlass 6 aufweist, der durch wenigstens eine Durchgangsöffnung gebildet ist. Unterhalb des Einlasses 6 ist am Sammelbecken 3 eine zylindrische Blende 36 angeformt. Konzentrisch zu dieser Blende 36 ist zudem an der Unterseite des Sammelbeckens 3 ein Haltemittel 45 angeformt, das durch mehrere Rastzungen gebildet wird. An diesen Haltemitteln 45 ist ein Deckel 10 befestigt, beispielsweise eingerastet.FIG. 1 shows a lower section of a conventional urinal basin 2, which forms an outlet with a downwardly directed connection piece 4. In the urinal basin 2, a collecting tank 3 is inserted from above, which has an inlet 6 in a lower region, which is formed by at least one passage opening. Below the inlet 6, a cylindrical aperture 36 is integrally formed on the reservoir 3. Concentric to this panel 36, a holding means 45 is also integrally formed on the underside of the collecting basin 3, which formed by a plurality of locking tongues becomes. At this holding means 45, a lid 10 is fixed, for example, locked.

Am Stutzen 4 ist ein Geruchsverschluss 1 befestigt, beispielsweise aufgerastet, der ein Gehäuse 37 besitzt, das einen Siphoneinsatz 17 aufnimmt. Am Boden des Gehäuses 37 ist ein Auslassstutzen 21 angeformt, der mit einer Entsorgungsleitung 22 verbunden ist. Das Gehäuse 37 ist insbesondere ein Kunststoffgehäuse und becherförmig ausgebildet.At the neck 4, an odor trap 1 is fixed, for example, latched, which has a housing 37 which receives a siphon insert 17. At the bottom of the housing 37, an outlet 21 is formed, which is connected to a disposal line 22. The housing 37 is in particular a plastic housing and cup-shaped.

Der Siphoneinsatz 17 weist einen Becher 18 auf, an dem ein Überlaufrohr 38 angeformt ist, das an einem oberen Ende eine Überlaufkante 20 besitzt. Auf einen Rand 39 des Bechers 18 ist ein Tauchrohr 19 aufgesetzt, das in einem oberen umlaufenden Kragen 14 mehrere Durchtrittsöffnungen 15 besitzt. Eine gewölbte Wandung 40 ist im Abstand über der Überlaufkante 20 angeordnet und geschlossen, sowie nach oben konvex gewölbt. Auf den genannten Rand 39 ist zudem der oben erwähnte Deckel 10 aufgerastet. Über diesen Deckel 10 ist der Becher 18 am Sammelbecken 3 befestigt und somit an diesem aufgehängt.The siphon insert 17 has a cup 18, on which an overflow tube 38 is formed, which has an overflow edge 20 at an upper end. On an edge 39 of the cup 18, a dip tube 19 is placed, which has a plurality of through openings 15 in an upper circumferential collar 14. A curved wall 40 is arranged at a distance above the overflow edge 20 and closed, and curved upward convex. On the aforementioned edge 39, the above-mentioned lid 10 is also latched. About this cover 10 of the cup 18 is attached to the reservoir 3 and thus suspended from this.

Ein Dichtungsring 45 dichtet den oberen Rand des Bechers 18 gegen das Tauchrohr 19 und gegen den Deckel 10 ab. Ein Sieb 16 ist oben auf den Kragen 14 aufgelegt. Mittig besitzt das Sieb 16 eine Durchgangsöffnung 41 (Figur 2), in welche das Einlaufrohr 7 mit seiner Mündung 9 eingreift. Oben auf das Sieb 16 ist der Duftmitteleinsatz 11 aufgelegt. Dieser ist ringförmig ausgebildet und besitzt einen mittigen Durchgang 13, in welchen das Einlaufrohr 7 eingreift. Am Deckel 10 sind nach innen gerichtete Rippen 10a angeformt, welche den Duftmitteleinsatz 11 halten.A sealing ring 45 seals the upper edge of the cup 18 against the dip tube 19 and against the lid 10. A sieve 16 is placed on top of the collar 14. In the middle, the sieve 16 has a through-opening 41 (FIG. 2) into which the inlet pipe 7 engages with its mouth 9. At the top of the sieve 16, the fragrance insert 11 is placed. This is annular and has a central passage 13, in which the inlet pipe 7 engages. On the lid 10 inwardly directed ribs 10 a are formed, which hold the fragrance insert 11.

Der Siphoneinsatz 17 bildet mit dem Becher 18, dem Tauchrohr 19, dem Sieb 16, dem Duftmitteleinsatz 11 und mit dem Deckel 10 sowie dem Sammelbecken 3 eine Einheit. Diese ist von oben in das Urinalbecken 2 eingelegt. Eine Lippendichtung 42 dichtet den Siphoneinsatz 17 gegenüber dem Urinalbecken 2 ab. Der Siphoneinsatz 17 kann in vorbestimmten Zeitabständen in einfacher Weise ausgewechselt werden. Hierzu muss lediglich der verbrauchte Siphoneinsatz 17 aus dem Urinalbecken 2 herausgenommen und die neue Einheit von oben eingelegt werden. Ein solcher Austausch kann sehr einfach und schnell erfolgen.The siphon insert 17 forms with the cup 18, the dip tube 19, the sieve 16, the fragrance insert 11 and the lid 10 and the reservoir 3 a unit. This is inserted from above into the urinal basin 2. A lip seal 42 seals the siphon insert 17 relative to the urinal basin 2. The siphon insert 17 can be replaced at predetermined time intervals in a simple manner. For this purpose, only the spent siphon insert 17 has to be removed from the urinal basin 2 and the new unit has to be inserted from above. Such an exchange can be done very easily and quickly.

Die Wirkungsweise des erfindungsgemässen Geruchsverschlusses 1 wird nachfolgend anhand der Figur 2 näher erläutert.The mode of action of the inventive odor trap 1 will be explained in more detail below with reference to FIG.

In der Figur 2 befindet sich nach einer Benutzung des Urinals im Sammelbecken 3 ein Urinsee 23, der in Richtung der Pfeile 25 abläuft. An der Mündung 9 des Einlaufrohres 7 gelangt der Urin auf die nach oben gewölbte Wandung 40 und läuft an dieser in Richtung der Pfeil 26 zu den Durchgängen 15 und durch diese hindurch in den Becher 18. In Richtung der Pfeile 28 gelangt der Urin unter dem Tauchrohr 19 hindurch bis zur Überlaufkante 20. Bei einem weiteren Anstieg fliesst der Urin über die Überlaufkante 20 hinaus und gelangt in Richtung der Pfeile 30 und 31 in den Auslass 21 und schliesslich in die Entsorgungsleitung 22.In FIG. 2, after use of the urinal in the collecting basin 3, there is a urine lake 23 which runs in the direction of the arrows 25. At the mouth 9 of the inlet pipe 7 of the urine reaches the upwardly curved wall 40 and runs at this in the direction of the arrow 26 to the passages 15 and through it into the cup 18. In the direction of arrows 28 of the urine passes under the dip tube 19 to the overflow edge 20. In a further increase, the urine flows over the overflow edge 20 and passes in the direction of arrows 30 and 31 in the outlet 21 and finally into the disposal line 22nd

Der im Becher 18 vorhandene Urinsee 43 weist ausserhalb des Tauchrohres 19 eine ringförmige Oberfläche 44 auf, an der sich Geruch entwickeln kann. Dieser Geruch gelangt wenigstens teilweise durch die Durchgänge 15 hindurch nach oben. Die blendenförmig ausgebildeten Rückhaltemittel 24 bewirken, dass dieser aufsteigende Geruch weitgehend in Richtung der Pfeile 33 in die Durchgänge 12 gelangt, die zwischen dem Duftmitteleinsatz 11 und dem Deckel 10 angeordnet sind. Der Geruch wird somit in den Deckel 10 geleitet, in welchem der Duftmitteleinsatz 11 angeordnet ist. Durch die im oberen Bereich des Deckels 10 angeordneten Zirkulationsbohrungen 8 gelangt der Duft teilweise wieder durch das Einlaufrohr 7 nach unten und schliesslich wieder in Richtung der Pfeile 33 zum Duftmitteleinsatz 11. Bei dieser Zirkulation wird der Geruch aromatisiert. Durch die genannte Zirkulation im Deckel 10 ist somit die Aromatisierung des Geruches sicher gestellt und damit ist gewährleistet, dass im Wesentlichen keine nicht aromatisierte Luft in die Umgebung gelangen kann. Da der Duftmitteleinsatz 11 im Geruchsverschluss 1 im Wesentlichen trocken gelagert ist, ist er lange haltbar. Der Duftmitteleinsatz 11 ist insbesondere ein Festkörper, beispielsweise ein sogenannter Duftstein. Grundsätzlich sind hier aber auch andere Duftmitteleinsätze möglich, die weiche oder flüssige Duftmittel enthalten können.The urine lake 43 present in the cup 18 has, outside the dip tube 19, an annular surface 44 on which odor can develop. This odor passes at least partially through the passages 15 upwards. The iris-shaped retaining means 24 cause this rising odor largely in the direction of the arrows 33 passes into the passages 12, which are arranged between the fragrance insert 11 and the lid 10. The smell is thus directed into the lid 10, in which the fragrance insert 11 is arranged. By arranged in the upper region of the lid 10 Circulation holes 8 passes the scent partially through the inlet pipe 7 down and finally again in the direction of the arrows 33 to the fragrance insert 11. In this circulation, the odor is flavored. By the said circulation in the lid 10 thus the flavor of the odor is ensured and thus it is ensured that essentially no un-flavored air can enter the environment. Since the fragrance insert 11 is stored substantially dry in the odor trap 1, it is durable. The fragrance insert 11 is in particular a solid, for example a so-called fragrance stone.
