Definitions

  • the invention relates to a faucet combination based on a manually operated mixing faucet assembly, said mixing faucet assembly comprising: mixing closing-opening-elements, feed water pipes leading thereto and ejector elements following the feed water pipes in the flowing direction, said ejector elements being provided with an extension flow channel and a side flow channel leading to the first usage target; as well as a conduit that is in flow connection with said extension flow channel, said conduit being provided with an closing-opening-element for the second usage target.
  • the water needed in various targets of usage is taken from the pipeline network by using separate and independent faucets or valves, in which case the faucets or valves are coupled in parallel.
  • the mixing faucet assembly mentioned above in the introduction constitutes a clear exception to this common and general principle.
  • the cold and hot water obtained from the feed water pipes can be mixed when lifting the lever of the manually operated lever faucet, i.e. when the lever faucet is in the open position. Now the mixed water flows to the ejector elements of the faucet.
  • the closing-opening member of the handshower element If the closing-opening member of the handshower element is closed, water flows in the lever faucet through the side flow channel to the supply pipe space and further to the wet area, for instance to a hand washing basin. On the other hand, if the closing-opening member of the handshower element is open, water flows through the extension flow channel of the lever faucet to the conduit and further to the handshower element to its area of operation, whereas water does not flow through the side flow channel anymore.
  • water needed in two different targets is thus extracted from faucets arranged in cooperation, which faucets are interconnected through a conduit independent of the pipeline network.
  • the arrangement includes, in the lever structure itself, mixing closing-opening elements that are common for both targets of usage, as well as a closing-opening member for selecting the target in which the water is finally fed.
  • the closing-opening elements and the closing-opening member are thus coupled in series.
  • US 4314673 relates to a mixing faucet valve being connected to receive water inlet pipes and comprising a chamber that is connection with a flexible hose leading to a spray head having a manually operable valve.
  • the mixing faucet valve is opened and when the spray hose is closed and water flows through the faucet spout.
  • the spray hose valve is openend the flow is directed through the hose to the spray head.
  • a control handle of the mixing faucet valve has to be moved to open position first.
  • US 4008732 relates to a diverter valve assembly which is mounted in fluid communication between an inlet conduit and a pair of outlets, spout end and spray head assembly.
  • the mixing valve includes a cartridge which controls a flow of water from the inlet conduit to be discharged through the spout end, and upon manipulation of the spray head assembly, the incoming water will be caused to flow through a diverter conduit to a diverter spout end.
  • the diverter valve may either transfer flow of water through the spout end or through the spray head assembly.
  • the object of the invention is to realize an arrangement by which the taking of water needed in two different targets from cooperating faucets that are interconnected through a conduit independent of the pipeline network can be controlled in a way specifically designed for the usage in question, either mechanically, electrically or electronically from outside.
  • a second object of the invention is to realize such an arrangement, where a possible excitation for electric or electronic control can be generated in a location chosen in each case.
  • a third object of the invention is to realize such an arrangement, where already existing structures can be utilized to a maximum degree.
  • the controlling of the feeding of water to two targets can be arranged in a simple and effective way by using a mixing faucet assembly provided with an ejector, including a handshower element provided with a closing-opening element, and by adding in this arrangement only one electrically or electronically controlled or manual-mechanically controlled, i.e. manually operated valve.
  • the sensor element and/or operating switch of the electric or electronic control circuit of the valve can be located at any desired spot.
  • the manually operated mixing faucet assembly 2 that serves as the starting point first of all comprises mixing closing-opening elements 5 to which the feed water pipes 15, 16 lead in regular flowing directions F1, F2.
  • the feed water pipes are a hot water pipe 15 and a cold water pipe 16, and in this embodiment, the closing-opening elements 5 are lever faucet elements.
  • said closing-opening elements 5 can also be for instance corresponding valve elements of thermostat faucets, or elements of separate hot and cold water closing valves.
  • the employed closing-opening elements 5 can constitute any kind of known or new faucet structure that is suited in the purpose, by which faucet structure the connection to the feed water pipes can be opened and the mixing of hot and cold water can be realized.
  • ejector elements 6 also including an extension flow channel 3 and a side flow channel 4.
  • the ejector elements comprise an ejector nozzle 26 proper, so that said extension flow channel 3 is arranged in parallel and as an extension to it.
  • said side flow channel 4 In between the ejector nozzle 26 and the extension flow channel 3, there is arranged said side flow channel 4, so that a small aperture is left between the ejector nozzle and the extension flow channel.
  • the mixing faucet assembly 2 includes a conduit 19 that is in flowing connection with the extension flow channel 3, and a closing-opening member 9 arranged at the outer end of said conduit.
  • a closing-opening member 9 When the closing-opening member 9 is closed and the closing-opening elements 5 of the assembly are open, water flows through the closing-opening elements to the ejector elements, more precisely through the ejector nozzle 26 to the side flow channel 4 - because the flow into the extension flow channel 3 is blocked, when the closing-opening member 9 is closed - and further to the supply pipe space 13 and via the outlet nozzle 24 to the user, i.e. to the first target of usage.
  • the closing-opening member 9 When the closing-opening member 9 is open and the closing-opening elements 5 of the assembly are open, water flows through the closing-opening elements to the ejector elements, more precisely via the ejector nozzle 26 to the extension flow channel 3 - because the flow resistance in that direction is smaller than in the direction of the side flow channel, where a sudden bend is required - and thence to the conduit 19 and further out through the closing-opening member 9, i.e. to the second target of usage.
  • water has the flowing direction F4 in the conduit 19.
  • the assembly may contain for instance a handshower element 8 or other water intake point, inside which the closing-opening member 9 is located.
  • the sole purpose of the closing-opening member 9 is the closing and opening function, which means that he employed closing-opening member can be any known or new valve or faucet that is suitable in said purpose. Therefore it is now explained in more detail.
  • the faucet combination 1 includes, in addition to said mixing faucet assembly 2, a branching element 7 arranged in the conduit 19.
  • the branching element 7 can be for instance a regular T-branching, where the straight part belongs to the conduit in the way illustrated in the drawing, and the side branch is in flowing connection to the additional water pipe 14.
  • the additional water pipe 14 is not used for intaking water, but for feeding additional water to the mixing faucet assembly 2 of the faucet combination 1, as is indicated by arrow F3 in the drawing.
  • the additional water pipe 14 is provided with a controlled valve 11.
  • the controlled valve 11 is used directly manually, i.e. it is a simple manually operated valve, as is indicated by dotted lines in the drawing.
  • the faucet combination 1 also comprises an electric control unit 12 provided with a sensor element 21 and/or a switch 22, and said control unit 12 is connected to the controlled valve 11 for its closing-opening function.
  • the controlled valve can be controlled from a planned/designed area and distance and with a planned/designed excitation.
  • water has the flowing direction F5 in the conduit 19, which direction is thus opposite to the flowing direction F4 of the first usage mode.
  • the opening of the closing-opening member 9 makes the additional water flow also to the second target of usage.
  • the faucet combination 1 according to the invention functions with several types of closing-opening elements and closing-opening members, as long as the mixing faucet assembly includes ejector elements, and the closing-opening elements and the closing-opening member are coupled in series.
  • the sensor element 21 of the control element 12, such as a user-identifying photocell arrangement or some other sensor arrangement, can be located to be activated in the wet area A1 of the outlet nozzle, but preferably the sensor element 21 is placed in some other location, i.e. arranged to be activated in some other area than the water area A1 of the first target of usage, i.e. of the outlet nozzle 24.
  • This wet area means the area where the user may move his hands while washing them in the water flow supplied through the outlet nozzle 24.
  • the switch 22 is advantageously placed nearer to the wet area A2 of the second target of usage, such as the handheld area of the handshower element 8, than the mixing faucet assembly 2.
  • the user may open the controlled valve 11 either by touching the switch 22 or by moving something without contact in the detection area of the sensor element 21.
  • the closing of the controlled valve 11 can be carried out by a timer arranged in the control unit 12, or by some other action of the user.
  • the faucet combination 1 may comprise, in said additional water pipe 14 prior to the controlled valve 11, a mixing faucet 17' that has a standard mixing ratio, or is operated thermostatically or in a corresponding fashion, in which case in said faucet 17', there is brought both a hot water pipe 15 and a cold water pipe 16.
  • the additional water pipe 14 is connected 17" to either one of the feed water pipes 15, 16, preferably to the cold water pipe 16, in which case the whole structure is remarkably simple.
  • the use of cold water can be defended, because in most situations a short-time water intake is in any case not sufficient for bringing water having the correct temperature from the pipework.
  • the above described functions of the mixing faucet assembly 2, controlled by the closing-opening elements 5 and closing-opening member 9, remain in their original form.
