Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling the drain valve of a flush tank, and to a flush tank comprising such a device.
  • Lavatory flush tanks comprising drain valves operated by pneumatic actuators.
  • a flush tank of this type normally comprises a control device, in turn comprising a button fitted to a control plate and acting on a pneumatic pulse generator; and a pneumatic actuator connected to the pneumatic pulse generator and acting on a movable shutter of the drain valve.
  • the pneumatic actuator is connected directly to the pneumatic pulse generator by a hose fixed at the ends to respective fittings on the pneumatic pulse generator and pneumatic actuator.
  • the pneumatic actuator must therefore be connected to the pneumatic pulse generator by fitting the ends of the hose to the fittings. Since the pneumatic actuator, however, is normally difficult to reach, this is an awkward operation in which the fitter may even damage parts of the device.
  • DE-A-3729569 discloses a flushing cistern drain valve pneumatic actuating device comprising a push button and two pneumatic operating elements that move the valve in opposite directions; the push button is connected to the pneumatic operating elements by a changeover device having three fittings which communicate with a common channel housing a piston; the piston has piston heads that selectively connect two of the three fittings during operation.
  • a device for controlling the drain valve of a flush tank as claimed in claim 1.
  • the device according to the invention is therefore also extremely practical and easy and fast to install.
  • the device according to the invention in fact, provides for separately connecting the pneumatic actuator to the distributor, and the distributor to the pneumatic pulse generator, so that, unlike solutions in which the pneumatic actuator is connected directly to the pneumatic pulse generator, the device is much easier to install, involves no access to hard-to-reach parts, and so also reduces the risk of damage.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a device for controlling a drain valve 2 of a known lavatory flush tank 3, of which only a portion of a wall 4 is shown.
  • Drain valve 2 is a substantially known pneumatically operated drain valve, e.g. of the type described in Italian Patent Application n. MI2004A-000044 .
  • drain valve 2 is a dual-function drain valve, i.e. for selectively activating full drain or partial drain of tank 3.
  • drain valve 2 comprises a supporting structure 5 fixed integrally to tank 3; a movable shutter 6 cooperating (in known manner not shown for the sake of simplicity) with a fluidtight seat over a drain hole in tank 3; and a pneumatic control assembly 7.
  • Assembly 7 comprises a casing 8 fitted to structure 5; and two pneumatic actuators 9, which act on shutter 6 to selectively activate the full-drain or partial-drain function.
  • Each actuator 9 comprises a manifold 10 connected to an expandable bellows 11; and a connecting member 12 acting on shutter 6.
  • Bellows 11 are located one over the other inside casing 8, and manifolds 10 have respective inlet sleeves 13 projecting outwards of casing 8.
  • Device 1 comprises two buttons 15 acting on respective pneumatic pulse generators 16 connected to actuators 9; and an air distributor 17 interposed between pneumatic pulse generators 16 and actuators 9.
  • Buttons 15 are fitted, for example, to a plate 18 fitted to a wall of tank 3 or in a remote location, on any wall of the room in which the lavatory is installed; each pneumatic pulse generator 16 comprises a piston 19 operated by a button 15 and movable inside a seat 20, formed in plate 18, to compress a bellows 21 (possibly in opposition to a return spring not shown); and each bellows 21 is connected to an outlet sleeve 22.
  • distributor 17 comprises a base body 27 having fastening means 28 for assembly to a support 29 carried by tank 3. More specifically, fastening means 28 are releasable fast-fit, e.g. click-on, fastening means comprising flexible retaining teeth 30 for engaging a seat 31 formed in support 29.
  • Distributor 17 comprises a first pair of fittings 32, 33 projecting from base body 27 and connected by a channel 34 formed through base body 27. Fittings 32, 33 are located on opposite sides of base body 27, and extend in line with each other and in substantially opposite directions from base body 27.
  • Distributor 17 also comprises a second pair of fittings 36, 37 projecting from base body 27 and connected by a channel 38 formed through base body 27.
  • Fittings 36, 37 are located on opposite sides of base body 27, parallel to fittings 32, 33, and extend in line with each other and in substantially opposite directions from base body 27.
  • Channels 34, 38 are independent (i.e. do not communicate with each other).
  • base body 27 is a one-piece body molded from plastic material, and fittings 32, 33, 36, 37 are formed integrally in one piece with base body 27.
  • Device 1 comprises a first pair of pipes 42, 43 and a second pair of pipes 46, 47 for connecting pneumatic pulse generators 16 to respective actuators 9 via distributor 17.
  • fittings 32, 36 of distributor 17 are connected by pipes 42, 46 to outlet sleeves 22 of pneumatic pulse generators 16; and fittings 33, 37 are connected by pipes 43, 47 to inlet sleeves 13 of actuators 9.
  • Pipes 42, 43, 46, 47 are defined by hoses made of polymer material, and have respective deformable ends, which fit onto the outside of a fitting 32, 33, 36, 37 or a sleeve 13, 22; each pipe 42, 43, 46, 47 is fitted at the ends to a fitting 32, 33, 36, 37 and a sleeve 13, 22 respectively; and fittings 32, 33, 36, 37 and sleeves 13, 22 have outer retaining collars or segments 50.
  • device 1 operates substantially in the same way as a similar known device, in which the pneumatic actuators are connected directly to the buttons. Dividing the connection between actuators 9 and buttons 15 into two separate portions by means of distributor 17 simplifies installation and provides for more reliable operation of device 1.
  • Distributor 17 may also be used on a single-drain flush tank 3, in which drain valve 2 has only one operating mode; in which case, distributor 17 is connected to one pneumatic pulse generator 16 (i.e. to one button 15) and to one actuator 9 by one pair of pipes 42, 43 or 46, 47.
