Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary outlet fitting with a liquid guide which opens into a fitting outlet, in the area of which a sanitary functional unit designed as an insert cartridge is provided.
  • jet regulators have already been created, which are provided as a sanitary functional unit in the area of the fitting outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting and are used to generate a soft, non-splashing water jet.
  • the known jet regulators can be used regularly in a sleeve-shaped outlet mouthpiece that can be screwed onto the end of the fitting.
  • the fitting and the associated mouthpiece have to be ground, polished and then also chrome-plated or painted together with great effort to ensure a smooth transition between the fitting and the mouthpiece without any color deviations and without reaching annoying gaps and ensuring the same diameter.
  • the gaps between the fitting and the mouthpiece screwed onto the outlet end of the fitting which are common when using conventional mouthpieces, can not only disrupt the visual appearance of such a fitting, but can also form a hygienic weak point through the accumulation of dirt.
  • liquid cross-section of the liquid guide is adapted to the insert cartridge, at least in the mouth area of the fitting outlet, and that the insert cartridge is in the fittings from the mouth side - Spout can be used and is detachably held therein.
  • the functional unit designed as an insert cartridge, can be inserted into the fitting outlet from the mouth side and is detachably held therein.
  • the liquid cross-section of the outlet fitting is adapted to the insert cartridge, at least in the mouth area of the fitting outlet.
  • An outlet mouthpiece associated with additional, not inconsiderable costs can thus be dispensed with; such mouthpieces were previously associated with a disproportionately high share of the total cost of a spout. Since the screwing of such an outlet mouthpiece is dispensable and since such an outlet mouthpiece does not have to be processed together with the outlet fitting in order to adjust the color, the manufacture of the sanitary outlet fitting is significantly simplified.
  • a mouthpiece can be dispensed with, the gaps between the mouthpiece and the outlet fitting, which are common even when using conventional mouthpieces, which would otherwise be optically disruptive and would conflict with high hygienic demands are avoided.
  • the sanitary functional unit is detachably held in the tap outlet of the sanitary tap and can therefore be easily removed and removed by inexperienced users for service work, such as removing dirt or decalcifying.
  • the insert cartridge is arranged with at least the major part of its longitudinal extent, preferably completely with its entire longitudinal extent, in the fitting outlet. If the insert cartridge is completely arranged with its entire longitudinal extent in the fitting outlet, it can be hidden, i.e. practically invisible and tamper-proof from the outside in the tap spout. From there, the cartridge can be removed again, for example with the help of a crown or fork wrench or another removal tool.
  • the insert cartridge can be held directly in the fitting outlet without an additional adapter.
  • Another embodiment according to the invention provides that the insert cartridge is held in the fitting outlet by means of a preferably sleeve-shaped intermediate holder.
  • the insert cartridge or the intermediate holder can be inserted up to an insertion stop in the fitting outlet.
  • the intermediate holder which can be inserted into the fitting outlet from the mouth side to be held releasably or non-releasably in the fitting outlet.
  • the intermediate holder is held in the fitting outlet by means of an adhesive, clamping, latching and / or screw connection and / or by pressing, clawing or wedging. It is advantageous if the intermediate holder is preferably sealed all around with respect to the inner peripheral wall of the fitting outlet.
  • the intermediate holder can be sealed in the outlet fitting using additional seals such as O-ring or flat gasket, by means of seals formed on the intermediate holder or with the aid of the connecting means, for example by means of the adhesives used when gluing the intermediate holder.
  • the insert cartridge is held in the fitting outlet or in the intermediate holder by means of a clamp, snap or screw connection.
  • the insert cartridge can be held in the outlet fitting or the intermediate holder by a single or multi-start screw connection or by snapping and thus by detachable connections which, if required, allow simple and rapid assembly and disassembly of the functional unit.
  • the insert cartridge is also sealed off from the intermediate holder or the inner peripheral wall of the fitting outlet.
  • Such a sealing of the functional unit against the intermediate holder or the inner peripheral wall the valve outlet can be made, for example, via an O-ring, a flat seal or other known seals.
  • a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that at least one ring seal, preferably at least one 0-ring, is provided for sealing between the insert cartridge or intermediate holder on the one hand and the outlet fitting on the other hand.
  • the insert cartridge or the intermediate holder carries an external thread which can be screwed into an internal thread in the fitting outlet, and that the external thread and the internal thread are dimensioned and arranged in such a way that the When screwing in the insert cartridge or the intermediate holder, grasp the thread in a relative position of the outlet fitting on the one hand and the insert cartridge or intermediate holder on the other hand, in which the O-ring or similar ring seal provided on the outer circumferential side of the insert cartridge or the intermediate holder does not yet come into frictional contact with the outlet fitting.
  • the arrangement of the ring seal which seals the insert cartridge radially in the valve body, means that a clear advantage can be used during assembly and disassembly:
  • you have a much greater feeling of finding the thread since the ring seal only then compresses radially if the thread has already been found.
  • the compression of the ring seal creates a lot of friction, which would otherwise make the feeling for assembly much more difficult.
  • the selected arrangement of the ring seal has the advantage that the insertion cartridge is unscrewed from the screw connection with the valve outlet using the insertion and removal tool. As long as the ring seal is still in the pressed state, there is an axial forced movement through the thread.
  • At least one circumferential seal is integrally formed on the insert cartridge, wherein the insert cartridge in the sealing area can be designed not only as a multi-component injection molded part, but in particular also as a single component injection molded part.
  • a particularly advantageous further development according to the invention of its own worthy of protection therefore provides that the insert cartridge and / or the intermediate holder is connected in one piece with at least one seal that seals all around between the insert cartridge or the intermediate holder on the one hand and the outlet fitting on the other hand.
  • the one-piece seal provided on the insert cartridge and / or the intermediate holder prevents creeping or leakage currents of the liquid flowing through the outlet fitting and others. between the insert cartridge or the intermediate holder on the one hand and the outlet fitting on the other.
  • the upstream end edge region of the insert cartridge and / or the intermediate holder is designed as a sealing profile.
  • Such a configuration can also be designed with a comparatively wide front edge be without the internal cross-section being restricted too much. This comparatively wide front edge on the insert cartridge and / or the intermediate holder can then be used very well for the design of a comparatively complex sealing profile.
  • the sealing profile has at least one surface seal and / or a lip seal.
  • These forms of the sealing profile together with the counter stop of the outlet fitting can effect an effective seal if the sealing profile acts on the counter stop and a line or / or surface pressure is exerted on the sealing profile.
  • the insertion cartridge and / or the intermediate holder have an insertion stop on the inflow side, which limits deformation of the sealing profile in the use position. Otherwise, the sealing profile could be damaged or excessively deformed, which could lead to a leak in the area between the insert cartridge or intermediate holder and the outlet fitting and thus to corresponding leakage currents.
  • the sealing profile has at least one seal with a sealing profile base, which is designed as an insertion stop.
  • the sealing profile can be arranged on the upper boundary surface of the sealing profile base.
  • the insertion stop can serve to limit the screw-in depth when attaching the insert cartridge or the intermediate holder to the fitting, for example by means of a screw connection. If the screwing is done manually without tools, the insertion stop can convey a feeling of strength of the screw connection by the action of the counter-stop on the valve can be felt through the insertion stop.
  • the sealing profile and, if applicable, its insert stop cooperates with a front edge area of the outlet fitting which delimits the clear cross section , which the insert cartridge and / or the intermediate holder also serves as a counter-stop.
  • the insertion stop is arranged adjacent to the sealing profile in a radial direction. This means that the insertion stop can absorb exactly the forces that could possibly damage the sealing profile.
  • a space-saving arrangement of the insertion stop and the sealing profile can be achieved on the clear cross section of the jet regulator.
  • a simple and yet effective sealing configuration of the sealing profile consists in the sealing profile having at least one annular circumferential sealing lip.
  • This sealing lip can either be elastic and flexible and thereby adapt to the counter-stop in the outlet fitting when attaching the insert cartridge and / or the intermediate holder, or the sealing lip is designed so that deformation is difficult, so that the sealing lip only when attached sealed by a surface pressure through the counter stop of the outlet fitting.
  • These two options can be combined with several sealing lips in different ways.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the sealing profile provides that the sealing profile has at least two circumferential sealing lips which become effective one after the other as the insertion pressure acting on the jet regulator increases.
  • This graded configuration of the sealing profile can have the effect that the neighboring sealing lips of the sealing profile take effect in the event of failure of a sealing lip.
  • an insertion pressure can be exerted in such a way that at least further seals of the sealing profile can also be effective.
  • a further embodiment with sealing lips running in a ring shape and taking effect one after the other provides that these sealing lips have different heights.
  • After prolonged use of the cartridge and / or the intermediate holder it is possible to maintain the sealing effect for a long time by retightening the component screwed to the outlet fitting. If the highest sealing lip is already somewhat damaged or worn or inflexible, the sealing lip closest in height can achieve the sealing effect again after tightening. In addition, small unevenness in the counter stop of the outlet fitting can be compensated for. It can be advantageous if the sealing lips have stepped heights and if the highest sealing lip forms the innermost or outermost seal of the sealing profile.
  • the component of the insert cartridge and / or the intermediate holder which has the seal is produced as a multi-component injection-molded part, and that this component consists of a flexible and / or elastic material in the region of the at least one seal.
  • this component consists of a flexible and / or elastic material in the region of the at least one seal.
  • the seal and the component of the insert cartridge and / or the intermediate holder integrally connected to it are made of the same, preferably food-safe material. The manufacturing effort can be simplified and the tool costs for a possibly required injection molding tool can be kept comparatively low.
  • a preferred development according to the invention provides that the sanitary functional unit is designed as a jet regulator.

  • This intermediate holder 6 can be detachably or non-detachably fastened in the fitting outlet 4. It is possible to fasten the intermediate holder 6 in the fitting outlet 4, for example by means of a clamp, locking and / or screw connection.
