Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Überlaufgarnitur mit stufenloser Niveaueinstellung für eine Sanitärwanne mit
einem Gehäuse, welches an der Außenwandung einer Sanitärwanne befestigbar ist und einen an eine Überlauföffnung der Sanitärwanne angrenzenden Wassersammelraum mit einem Ablaufstutzen aufweist,
einer Anschlusseinrichtung zur Fernbetätigung eines Bodenventils und
einem verdrehbar angeordneten Überlaufkörper, der die Überlauföffnung der Sanitärwanne umfangsseitig dicht verschließt und eine zur Drehachse des Überlaufkörpers radial versetzte Einströmöffnung sowie einen mit dem Wassersammelraum des Gehäuses fluchtenden Strömungsauslass aufweist.The invention relates to an overflow fitting with continuous level adjustment for a sanitary tub with
a housing which can be fastened to the outer wall of a sanitary tub and has a water collecting space with an outlet connection adjacent to an overflow opening of the sanitary tub,
a connection device for remote actuation of a bottom valve and
a rotatably arranged overflow body which closes the overflow opening of the sanitary tub tightly on the circumferential side and has a radially offset to the axis of rotation of the overflow inlet opening and a flush with the water collection chamber of the housing flow outlet.

Eine Überlaufgarnitur mit den beschriebenen Merkmalen ist aus US 3 859 676 A1 bekannt, wobei eine verdrehbar gelagerte Abdeckkappe die Überlauföffnung der Santärwanne umfangsseitig verschließt. Die Abdeckkappe weist dabei eine als Schlitz gebildete radial versetzte Einströmöffnung auf, mit der der maximale Füllstand der Wanne einstellbar ist. Dabei ist eine Position der Kappe einstellbar, wobei der Schlitz mit einer Gehäuseschulter verdeckt ist. Dadurch kann der Badewannenüberlauf vollständig verschlossen werden, was im Hinblick auf ein Überlaufen der Wanne unerwünscht ist.An overflow fitting with the described features is made US Pat. No. 3,859,676 A1 known, wherein a rotatably mounted cap closes the overflow opening of the Santärwanne circumferentially. The cap has a slot formed as radially offset inlet opening, with which the maximum level of the tub is adjustable. In this case, a position of the cap is adjustable, wherein the slot is covered with a housing shoulder. As a result, the bathtub overflow can be completely closed, which is undesirable in terms of overflowing the tub.

Aus DE 42 26 685 C2 ist ferner eine Überlaufgarnitur bekannt, die eine Abdeckrosette aufweist. Die Abdeckrosette ist nicht nur drehbeweglich gelagert sondern auch in Achsrichtung der Drehachse zwischen zwei Funktionsstellungen verstellbar. In einer ersten Funktionsstellung verschließt die Abdeckrosette die Überlauföffnung der Sanitärwanne. Sie enthält einen Strömungskanal mit einer zur Drehachse der Abdeckrosette radial versetzten Einströmöffnung sowie einen mit dem Wassersammelraum des Gehäuses fluchtenden Strömungsauslass. In dieser Funktionsstellung ist durch Drehbewegung der Abdeckrosette der maximale Füllstand der Sanitärwanne einstellbar. In der zweiten Funktionsstellung ist die Abdeckrosette von der Wandung der Sanitärwanne abgerückt und gibt die Überlauföffnung frei. In dieser Funktionsstellung ist eine mit der Abdeckrosette verbundene Anschlusseinrichtung an eine Stelleinrichtung zur Betätigung eines im Wannenboden der Sanitärwanne angeordneten Bodenventils angekuppelt. Durch Drehbewegung der Abdeckrosette in der zweiten Funktionsstellung kann das Bodenventil der Sanitärwanne geöffnet und geschlossen werden. Die Handhabung der Abdeckrosette ist erklärungsbedürftig. Nachteilig ist, dass sich eine Drehbetätigung der Abdeckrosette zum Öffnen und Schließen des Bodenventils auf die Stellung der Einströmöffnung auswirkt und die Füllstandshöhe erst dann eingestellt werden kann, nachdem das Bodenventil geschlossen worden ist. Auch ist es schwierig, die eingestellte Füllstandshöhe abzulesen, da stets berücksichtigt werden muss, in welcher Funktionsstellung sich die Abdeckrosette befindet. Die Handhabung der Über laufgamitur ist insgesamt verbesserungsbedürftig.Out DE 42 26 685 C2 Furthermore, an overflow fitting is known which has a covering rosette. The covering rosette is not only rotatably mounted but also adjustable in the axial direction of the axis of rotation between two functional positions. In a first functional position, the cover rosette closes the overflow opening of the sanitary tub. It contains a flow channel with a radially offset to the axis of rotation of the cover rosette inlet opening and a flush with the water collection chamber of the housing flow outlet. In this functional position, the maximum fill level of the sanitary sump can be adjusted by turning the cover rosette. In the second functional position, the covering rosette is moved away from the wall of the sanitary tub and releases the overflow opening. In this functional position, a connection device connected to the covering rosette is coupled to an adjusting device for actuating a bottom valve arranged in the tub bottom of the sanitary tub. By rotating the cover rosette in the second functional position, the bottom valve of the sanitary tub can be opened and closed. The handling of the cover rosette is in need of explanation. The disadvantage is that a rotational actuation of the covering rosette for opening and closing the bottom valve has an effect on the position of the inflow opening and the fill level can only be adjusted after the bottom valve has been closed. Also, it is difficult to read the set level, since it always has to be considered in which functional position is the cover rosette. The handling of overflow is generally in need of improvement.

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Überlaufgarnitur anzugeben, die eine einfach handhabbare stufenlose Niveaueinstellung des Flüssigkeitsspiegels in der Sanitärwanne ermöglicht, wobei unabhängig von dem eingestellten Niveau die Überlauffunktion stets sichergestellt sein soll.Against this background, the invention has for its object to provide an overflow fitting that allows easy to handle stepless level adjustment of the liquid level in the sanitary tub, regardless of the set level, the overflow function should always be ensured.

Ausgehend von einer Überlaufgarnitur mit den eingangs beschriebenen Merkmalen wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch den gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Insbesondere ist die Anschlusseinrichtung zur Fernbetätigung des Bodenventils mit einer Abdeckrosette verbunden, die in den Wanneninnenraum der Sanitärwanne vorsteht und drehbeweglich im Gehäuse gelagert ist. Außerdem ist vorgesehen, dass der Überlaufkörperinnerhalb der Abdeckrosette angeordnet ist und als Formkörper ausgebildet ist, der eine zylindrische Nabe und einen die Nabe umgebenden Strömungskanal aufweist. Dabei öffnet sich der Strömungskanalzu einem Trichter, der die Einströmöffnung bildet. Ferner ist dabei der Strömungsauslass des Strömungskanals in einem die Nabe umgebenden Bereich in einer Stirnfläche des Formkörpers angeordnet. Die Einströmöffnung ist dabei zweckmäßig am Umfang des Formkörpers angeordnet.Starting from an overflow fitting with the features described above, the object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. In particular, the connection device for remote actuation of the bottom valve is connected to a covering rosette which projects into the tub interior of the sanitary tub and is rotatably mounted in the housing. In addition, it is provided that the overflow body is disposed within the cover rosette and is formed as a molded body having a cylindrical hub and a surrounding the hub flow channel. In this case, the flow channel opens to a funnel, which forms the inlet opening. Furthermore, the flow outlet of the flow channel is arranged in an area surrounding the hub in an end face of the shaped body. The inflow opening is expediently arranged on the circumference of the shaped body.

Durch einen Spalt zwischen der Abdeckrosette oder durch Öffnungen in der Abdeckrosette tritt Wasser in den von der Abdeckrosette umschlossenen Raum ein und fließt durch den Überlaufkörper im Innern der Abdeckrosette ab. Dabei bestimmt die Einströmöffnung des Überlaufkörpers die Füllstandshöhe in der Sanitärwanne. Durch Verdrehen des Überlaufkörpers ist das Niveau der Einströmöffnung stufenlos verstellbar und damit die maximale Füllstandshöhe in der Sanitärwanne einstellbar. Völlig unabhängig davon kann durch eine Drehbetätigung der Abdeckrosette ein Bodenventil der Sanitärwanne geöffnet oder verschlossen werden. Die Funktionen "Öffnen/Schließen des Bodenventils" und "Einstellung der Füllstandshöhe" sind voneinander vollständig entkoppelt.Through a gap between the covering rosette or through openings in the covering rosette, water enters the space enclosed by the covering rosette and flows out through the overflow body inside the covering rosette. In this case, the inflow opening of the overflow body determines the fill level in the sanitary tub. By turning the overflow body, the level of the inflow opening is infinitely adjustable and thus the maximum filling level in the sanitary pan adjustable. Completely independent of this, a bottom valve of the sanitary tub can be opened or closed by a rotary actuation of the cover rosette. The bottom valve open / close functions and level adjustment are completely decoupled from each other.

Der Überlaufkörper weist zweckmäßig einen Handhebel auf, der durch eine Öffnung in der Abdeckrosette oder durch einen Spalt zwischen der Abdeckrosette und dem Wannenkörper vorsteht. Vorzugsweise ist der Stellbereich für die Drehbewegung des Überlaufkörpers durch Anschlagelemente begrenzt, die einem unteren Wert und einem oberen Wert für die Überlaufhöhe zugeordnet sind.The overflow body expediently has a hand lever projecting through an opening in the cover rosette or through a gap between the cover rosette and the tub body. Preferably, the adjusting range for the rotational movement of the overflow body is limited by stop elements which are associated with a lower value and an upper value for the overflow height.

Die im Folgenden beschriebene Anordnung erlaubt eine einfache Montage und funktionssichere Festlegung der Bauteile. Das Gehäuse der Garnitur weist einen Außenmantel an einem an der Außenwandung der Sanitärwanne anliegenden Kragen und einen im Abstand zum Außenmantel angeordneten Innenzylinder zur Aufnahme einer Spannbuchse auf. In die Nabe des Überlaufkörpers ist eine Spannbuchse eingesetzt, die im Innenzylinder des Gehäuses befestigt ist und eine Wellendurchführung zur Lagerung der Abdeckrosette sowie einen Kragen zur Festlegung des Überlaufkörpers in Achsrichtung aufweist. Der Kragen wirkt mit einer an die Nabe angeformten Schulter zusammen. Die Abdeckrosette weist einen Zapfen auf, der die Wellendurchführung der Spannbuchse durchfasst und an seinem freien Ende mit einem im Innenzylinder des Gehäuses drehbeweglich geführten Funktionselement der Anschlusseinrichtung zur Fernbetätigung eines Bodenventils verbunden ist. Zwischen dem Gehäuse und dem Überlaufkörper ist ferner zweckmäßig ein Ringkörper angeordnet, der einen durch Stege verbundenen Innenring und Außenring aufweist, wobei der Außenring am Umfang der Überlauföffnung an der Sanitärwanne anliegt und eine Gleit- und Dichtfläche für den Überlaufkörper bildet und wobei der Innenring mit einer Spannfläche an der Spannbuchse zusammenwirkt. Das Gehäuse und der Ringkörper sind durch Eindrehen der Spannbuchse gegen den Wannenkörper verspannbar und dadurch in ihrer Lage fixiert. Vorzugsweise weist der Kragen der Spannbuchse eine aus zwei Ringflächen bestehende gestufte Anschlagfläche auf, wobei die erste Ringfläche die auf den Ringkörper wirkende Spannfläche bildet und die zweite Ringfläche mit dem Überlaufkörper zusammenwirkt. Der Überlaufkörper wird auf diese Weise zwischen der zweiten Ringfläche und der Stirnfläche des Überlaufkörpers axialfest und drehbeweglich geführt.The arrangement described below allows a simple installation and functionally reliable fixing of the components. The housing of the clothing points an outer shell on a voltage applied to the outer wall of the sanitary tub collar and a spaced apart from the outer shell inner cylinder for receiving a clamping bush. In the hub of the overflow body, a clamping bush is inserted, which is fastened in the inner cylinder of the housing and has a shaft passage for mounting the covering rosette and a collar for fixing the overflow body in the axial direction. The collar cooperates with a shoulder formed on the hub. The cover rosette has a pin which passes through the shaft bushing of the clamping bush and is connected at its free end to a functional element of the connection device for remote actuation of a bottom valve, which element is rotatably guided in the inner cylinder of the housing. Between the housing and the overflow body, an annular body is further suitably arranged, which has a web ring connected by inner ring and outer ring, wherein the outer ring rests on the periphery of the overflow opening to the sanitary tub and forms a sliding and sealing surface for the overflow body and wherein the inner ring with a Clamping surface cooperates on the clamping bush. The housing and the annular body can be clamped by screwing the clamping bush against the tub body and thereby fixed in position. Preferably, the collar of the clamping bush on a two annular surfaces existing stepped stop surface, wherein the first annular surface forms the clamping surface acting on the annular body and the second annular surface cooperates with the overflow body. The overflow body is axially fixed and rotatably guided in this way between the second annular surface and the end face of the overflow body.

Der Ringkörper kann hülsenförmige Abschnitte zur Zentrierung aufweisen, die sich in das Gehäuse hinein erstrecken.The annular body may have sleeve-shaped sections for centering, which extend into the housing.

Das Gehäuse 1 ist an der Außenwandung einer Sanitärwanne 4 befestigbar und weist einen an eine Überlauföffnung der Sanitärwanne 4 angrenzenden Wassersammelraum 5 mit einem Ablaufstutzen 6 auf. Die Abdeckrosette 2 steht in dem Wanneninnenraum der Sanitärwanne 4 vor und ist drehbeweglich im Gehäuse 1 gelagert. Die Anschlusseinrichtung 3 zur Fernbetätigung des Bodenventils besteht im Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem Ritzel, welches am freien Ende eines zapfenförmigen Fortsatzes 7 der Abdeckrosette 2 befestigt ist und mit einer nicht dargestellten Stelleinrichtung zusammenwirkt, die in einem von dem Wassersammelraum abgetrennten Bereich 8 des Gehäuses 1 angeordnet ist und beispielsweise über einen Bowdenzug an das Bodenventil angeschlossen ist.For the basic construction of the overflow set shown in the figures, a housing 1, a covering rosette 2 and a connecting device 3 connected to the cover rosette for remote actuation of a bottom valve, not shown. The housing 1 can be fastened to the outer wall of a sanitary tub 4 and has a water collecting space 5 adjoining an overflow opening of the sanitary tub 4 with an outlet connection 6. The cover rosette 2 is in the tub interior of the sanitary tub 4 and is rotatably mounted in the housing 1. The connection device 3 for remote control of the bottom valve consists in the embodiment of a pinion, which is attached to the free end of a pin-shaped extension 7 of the Abdeckrosette 2 and cooperates with a control device, not shown, which is arranged in a separated from the water collecting space 8 of the housing 1 and For example, connected via a Bowden cable to the bottom valve.

Innerhalb der Abdeckrosette 2 ist ein Überlaufkörper 9 angeordnet, der die Überlauföffnung der Sanitärwanne 4 umfangsseitig dicht umschließt und verdrehbar am Gehäuse 1 oder einem mit dem Gehäuse fest verbundenen Ringkörper 10 gelagert ist. Der Überlaufkörper 9 weist einen Strömungskanal 11 mit einer zur Drehachse 12 des Überlaufkörpers 9 radial versetzten Einströmöffnung 13 sowie eine mit dem Wassersammelraum 5 des Gehäuses 1 fluchtenden Strömungsauslass 14 auf. Durch einen Spalt zwischen der Abdeckrosette 2 und der Innenwandung der Sanitärwanne 4 sowie durch Öffnungen 15, die am Umfang der Abdeckrosette 2 angeordnet sind, tritt Wasser in den von der Abdeckrosette umschlossenen Raum ein und fließt durch die Einströmöffnung 13 des Überlaufkörpers 9 ab. Durch Verdrehen des Überlaufkörpers 9 ist das Niveau der Einströmöffnung 13 stufenlosverstellbar und damit der maximale Füllstand in der Sanitärwanne einstellbar. Die Betätigung des Überlaufkörpers 9 erfolgt mittels eines Handhebels 16, der an den Überlaufkörper 9 angeformt ist und im Ausführungsbeispiel durch einen Spalt zwischen der Abdeckrosette und dem Wannenkörper vorsteht. Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt es auch, dass der Handhebel 16 durch eine schlitzförmige Öffnung in der Abdeckrosette an der Außenseite der Abdeckrosette 2 zugänglich ist. Der Stellbereich für die Drehbewegung des Überlaufkörpers 9 wird durch Anschlagelemente 17 begrenzt. Die in Fig. 3a dargestellte Position des Überlaufkörpers 9 zeigt die Stellung "maximale Überlaufhöhe". Hier liegt die Einströmöffnung 13 oberhalb der Drehachse 12 des Überlaufkörpers 9. Bei der in Fig. 3b dargestellten Funktionsstellung befindet sich die Einströmöffnung 13 in Höhe von Drehachse 12 und Strömungsauslass 14. Diese Position definiert den unteren Wert des Stellbereiches.Within the cover rosette 2, an overflow body 9 is arranged, which surrounds the overflow opening of the sanitary tub 4 circumferentially tight and is rotatably mounted on the housing 1 or a fixedly connected to the housing ring body 10.

In die Nabe des Überlaufkörpers 9 ist eine Spannbuchse 22 eingesetzt, die in einen Gewindeabschnitt des Innenzylinders 21 eingeschraubt und auf diese Weise im Innenzylinder 21 des Gehäuses 1 befestigt ist. Die Spannbuchse 22 weist eine Wellendurchführung zur Lagerung der Abdeckrosette 2 sowie einen Kragen 23 zur Festlegung des Überlaufkörpers 9 in Achsrichtung auf. Der Kragen 23 wirkt mit einer an die Nabe 18 angeformten Schulter 24 zusammen. Die Abdeckrosette 2 weist einen Zapfen 7 auf, der die Wellendurchführung der Spannbuchse 22 durchfasst und an seinem freien Ende mit einem im Innenzylinder 21 des Gehäuses drehbeweglich geführten Funktionselement 3, welches Teil der Anschlusseinrichtung zur Fernbetätigung eines Bodenventils ist, verbunden ist.The Fig. 2 shows the determination of the components in the overflow opening of the sanitary tub. The housing 1 has an outer casing 19 with a voltage applied to the outer wall of the sanitary tub and provided with a seal 20 'collar 20 and at a distance from the outer shell arranged inner cylinder 21 for receiving a clamping bush. In the hub of the overflow body 9, a clamping bush 22 is inserted, which is screwed into a threaded portion of the inner cylinder 21 and fixed in this way in the inner cylinder 21 of the housing 1. The clamping bush 22 has a shaft bushing for supporting the cover rosette 2 and a collar 23 for fixing the overflow body 9 in the axial direction. The collar 23 cooperates with a molded onto the hub 18 shoulder 24. The cover rosette 2 has a pin 7, which passes through the shaft bushing of the clamping sleeve 22 and at its free end with a rotatably guided in the inner cylinder 21 of the housing function element 3, which is part of the connection device for remote actuation of a bottom valve connected.

Zwischen dem Gehäuse 1 und dem Überlaufkörper 9 ist ein Ringkörper 10 angeordnet, der einen durch Stege 25 verbundenen Innenring 26 und Außenring 27 aufweist (Fig. 1). Der Außenring 27 liegt am Umfang der Überlauföffnung an der Sanitärwanne an und bildet eine Gleit- und Dichtfläche für den Überlaufkörper 9. Der Innenring 26 wirkt mit einer Spannfläche an der Spannbuchse 22 zusammen. Durch Eindrehen der Spannbuchse 22 in den Innenzylinder 21 des Gehäuses 1 sind das Gehäuse 1 und der Ringkörper 10 gegen den Wannenkörper verspannbar und dadurch festlegbar.Between the housing 1 and the overflow body 9, an annular body 10 is arranged, which has a connected by webs 25 inner ring 26 and outer ring 27 ( Fig. 1 ). The outer ring 27 rests on the circumference of the overflow opening to the sanitary tub and forms a sliding and sealing surface for the overflow body 9. The inner ring 26 cooperates with a clamping surface on the clamping sleeve 22. By screwing the clamping bush 22 in the inner cylinder 21 of the housing 1, the housing 1 and the annular body 10 are clamped against the tub body and thereby fixed.

Der Kragen 23 der Spannbuchse 22 weist eine aus zwei Ringflächen bestehende gestufte Anschlagfläche auf, wobei die erste Ringfläche die auf den Ringkörper 10 wirkende Spannfläche bildet und die zweite Ringfläche mit dem Überlaufkörper 9 zusammenwirkt. Der Überlaufkörper 9 ist auf diese Weise axialfest und dennoch drehbeweglich zwischen dem Kragen 23 der Spannbuchse 22 und der benachbarten Stirnfläche des Ringkörpers 9 geführt.The collar 23 of the clamping bush 22 has a stepped stop surface consisting of two annular surfaces, wherein the first annular surface forms the clamping surface acting on the annular body 10 and the second annular surface cooperates with the overflow body 9. The overflow body 9 is axially fixed in this manner and yet rotatably guided between the collar 23 of the clamping bush 22 and the adjacent end face of the annular body 9.

Der. Fig. 2 entnimmt man schließlich noch, dass der Ringkörper 10 hülsenförmige Abschnitte 28, 28' zur Zentrierung aufweist, die sich in das Gehäuse 1 hinein erstrecken.Of the. Fig. 2 Finally, it can be seen that the annular body 10 has sleeve-shaped sections 28, 28 'for centering, which extend into the housing 1.
