Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for generating a massage flow in a sanitary tub, with a receiving device which can be fastened to an opening in the tub body of the sanitary tub for receiving an electric motor with a drive shaft, a propeller with a hub fixed to the drive shaft and radially arranged around the hub and wings a arranged on the receiving device, positioned within the sanitary tub rosette with peripheral inlet openings and a central outlet opening, wherein the propeller sucks in the sanitary tub located water through the inlet openings and then transported back through a arranged in the outlet opening, pivoting to the hub axle guide element in the sanitary tub.
  • a device with the features described above is known from Publication DE 198 34 341 C2 known.
  • Guide element as a bell with a nozzle-shaped tapered outlet end formed, wherein the propeller is disposed within the bell.
  • the order is constructive and assembly technically complex.
  • Unsatisfactory Furthermore, the relatively small outlet cross section for the massage jet.
  • the invention is based on the object, a device with the above describe features that without nozzle-shaped taper of the Flow cross-section is an adjustment of the direction of the device exiting water flow allows.
  • the device should also be constructive easy to set up and easy to assemble.
  • the object is achieved in that the guide element as Leitschaufelkranz is formed, and at the outer end of the vanes a annular bearing shell, which between a ball as a surface segment trained guide surface of the receiving device and a concave The contact surface of the rosette is movably clamped.
  • the vane ring ensures an exact deflection of even with large pivoting angles from the device emerging massage jet in the desired direction.
  • the rosette has one with an interior or Externally threaded annular connecting web, which with a Fixing web on the receiving device cooperates and the rosette attached to the receiving device.
  • the bearing shell may comprise a sleeve, which with the Ball surface segment cooperates and in one at the outer ends the guide vanes molded receiving ring of the bearing shell is fitted.
  • the vane ring has an inner rim with a central one Passage opening, on which the guide vanes are formed on the outside.
  • flow guiding elements be arranged, which are integrally formed on the inner rim. The flow guide elements contribute to a rectification of the flow when flowing through the passage opening and direct the flow in this case Direction parallel to the axis of the vane ring.
  • the flow guide elements themselves may in turn comprise an annular web, the wall thickness increases in the flow direction, so that the flow in this area is accelerated accordingly. Within this bridge can a displacement profile be arranged centrally, the thickness in the flow direction is also increasing.
  • the vanes, the annular ridges as well the flow guide elements can be used as a one-piece plastic injection molded part be educated.
  • the pivotal position is by pressure changeable to the vane ring and the vane ring remains due to its elastic behavior in a desired position, wherein the elastic behavior by choosing a suitable one Material of the sleeve and / or the remaining vane ring is achieved.
  • the rosette is formed in several parts and has one with the Inlet openings provided outer ring and one connected to the outer ring, inner mounting ring with the outlet opening on.
  • a flow channel for simultaneous intake of ambient air provided with the help of the propeller, the air after leaving the Flow channel flows through an air channel arranged in the hub and flows together with the water flow through the outlet opening, and wherein Within the air duct fan blades are provided, the suction promote the air.
  • the air duct is annular and concentric with Hub axle formed.
  • a non-return valve may be provided, upstream of an air inlet nozzle connected.
  • the air supply is preferably by a on Control element connected valve or a separate knob optionally switched on and off.
  • the figures show a device for generating a massage flow 1 in a sanitary tub 2 with a fastened to an opening 3 in the tub body 4
  • Receiving device 5 for receiving an electric motor 6 with Drive shaft 7, a propeller 8 with a flying on the drive shaft.
  • 7 fixed hub 9 and radially arranged around the hub 9 wings 10 and one arranged on the receiving device 5, within the sanitary tub 2 positioned rosette 11 with edge inlet openings 12 and a central outlet opening 13.
  • the rosette 11 is formed in two parts and includes an outer ring 42 with the inlet openings 12 and one with the Outer ring 42 connected, inner mounting ring 43 with the outlet opening 13.
  • the propeller 8 sucks in the sanitary tub 2 located water through the inlet openings 12 and then conveys the water by a arranged in the outlet opening 13, pivotable to the hub axle X.
  • the cradle 5 has a flow space 15 for guiding the sucked Water flow on.
  • the receiving device 5 is also designed in several parts and has a motor mount 44 and a fastenable to the tub body 4, with the motor mount 44 connected bearing plate 45.
  • the Guide element 14 is formed as a vane ring and has on the outside End of the vanes 16 an annular bearing shell 17, which between a designed as a spherical surface segment 18 sliding surface of the receiving device 5 and a concave bearing surface 19 of the mounting ring 43 is movably clamped.
  • the mounting ring 43 of the rosette 11 is through a screw 20 connected to the receiving device 5. in this connection the fastening ring 43 has an external thread 37, which with a Fixing web 39 cooperates on the receiving device 5 and the Rosette 11 attached to the receiving device 5.
  • the Bar 39 a subdivision of the flow space 15 in one of the inlet openings 12 adjoining inlet channel 40 and upstream of the outlet opening 13 arranged outlet channel 41 for the massage flow 1.
  • the vane ring 14 has an inner ring 21 with a central passage opening 22, at the vanes 16 are formed on the outside.
  • flow guide elements 23 are formed (see Fig. 3a and 3c).
  • the flow guide elements 23 contribute to a rectification of the Massagestromes 1 when flowing through the passage opening 22 and steer the current 1 in the passage opening 22 in a direction parallel to the axis Y. of the vane ring 14.
  • the flow guide elements 23 comprise a ring land 24, the profile thickness increases in the flow direction.
  • a centrally disposed displacement profile 25th formed, whose thickness also increases in the flow direction (Fig. 1).
  • the Fig. 3a, 3c and 3d show that the vanes 16 partly at Flow inlet are made obliquely to the main flow direction and in Flow direction in an axial alignment. In the embodiment every second vane 16 is formed in this way. Further, in the mean diameter range of the vane ring 14 to the vanes 16 a circumferential reinforcing ring 26 is formed.
  • a comparative Considering the Fig. 1 and 2 can be taken that the pivoting position by Pressure on the vane ring 14 is changeable and the vane ring 14 remains in a desired position due to its elastic behavior.
  • the bearing shell 17 includes for this purpose an elastic sleeve 27, which with the Ball surface segment 18 cooperates and in one to the outer Ends of the vanes 16 integrally formed receiving ring 28 of Bearing shell 17 is fitted (see Fig. 1 and 3b).
  • Figs. 1 and 2 further show that in the receiving device 5, a flow channel 29 for simultaneous intake of ambient air 30 with the help of the propeller 8 is provided.
  • the air 15 flows after leaving the flow channel 29 arranged by a hub 9 in the hub axis X. concentric annular air channel 31 and flows together with the Water flow through the outlet opening 13 (see Fig. 4b).
  • the air channel 31 has within the annular gap 32 fan blades 33, the suction of the Air 30 promote (see Fig. 1 and 4a).
  • a backflow preventer 35 is provided to the upstream of an air inlet nozzle 36 is connected.
  • the air supply is through a valve connected to an operating element can optionally be switched on and off (not shown).
