Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a continuous tube type aerator disposed at the end of a water installation, typically a drinking water installation, for preventing water from being sucked back into the water installation and comprising a body in which at least one flow passage leading from a tube aerator inlet to a tube aerator exit is formed.
  • a closing body is further arranged axially, which is axially displaceable in the base body.
  • the closing body has in its upper region an upwardly acting upper sealing surface and a lower sealing surface formed underneath. The lower sealing surface closes in a closed position of the closing body access to at least one radially extending, the circumferential surface of the body towards opening ventilation channel.
  • Such a pipe aerator is known for example from DE 195 15 282.
  • the lower sealing surface acts against a lower sealing counter-surface, which is formed by a sleeve inserted into the base.
  • Corresponding tube aerators which are also considered to be generic, are known for example from EP-1 217 132, EP-1 217 133, EP-1 217 134.
  • the Rohrbelspecter differs from the aforementioned in that the lower sealing mating surface is formed by the body.
  • Rohrbelrangeern is the closing body in a in the axial direction of the Rohrbelstructureers extending, closed on the bottom pot, which may be formed for example as an integral part of the body (DE 296 11 998) or as part of the sleeve can. From this pot is at least one ventilation duct, which opens to the outer peripheral surface of the body.
  • the closing body may be displaceably guided on the inner peripheral surface of the pot.
  • a protruding into the pot guide pin of the closing body has a substantially star-shaped base, so that between the inner peripheral surface of the pot and the outer contour of the guide pin one or more axially extending ventilation passages are recessed, which communicate with the at least one ventilation duct.
  • the guide pin is projected radially in the most common form of the closing body by a plate-shaped cap whose underside forms the lower sealing surface and the upper side of the upper sealing surface.
  • the closing body is movable between the closure position, in which the lower sealing surface at least with the interposition of a sealing element, for example an O-ring preferably against the end face of the pot, and an open position in which the lower sealing surface releases access to the or the ventilation channels.
  • a sealing element for example an O-ring preferably against the end face of the pot
  • the upper sealing surface bears against an upper sealing mating surface which, according to the prior art documents cited above, is formed by the water installation, for example through the outlet connection of a shut-off valve.
  • Pipe aerators of the aforementioned type are used for example in outlet fittings, as they are known for example from the DE 199 44 231, DE 200 01 883 or DE 101 10 585 known to the applicant.
  • the shut-off is carried out in a rear, relatively deep provided in a building wall area of the outlet fitting, which is regularly mounted frost-resistant, whereas the valve top is arranged with the adjusting spindle on the outside of the building and thus exposed to temperatures below freezing.
  • the outlet fitting accordingly has a concentric about the adjusting spindle or an intermediate spindle extending this tubular flow channel, which must be ventilated when shutting off the valve. Pressure drops in the supply network may cause water to be drawn in towards the fitting by a hose connected to the outlet channel of the fitting.
  • the pipe aerator prevents this water from being sucked back into the water pipe, as required by DIN 1988 Part 4 and DIN EN 1717. Due to the negative pressure acting on the closing body is pulled against gravity upwards, whereby the closing body leaves its closed position, the access to the ventilation channel releases and created with its upper sealing surface against the upper sealing mating surface becomes. As a result, on the one hand, the passage is blocked to the outlet fitting and on the other hand allows ventilation of a hose connected to the valve through the ventilation duct. Air may pass through the vent channel into the vent passages and from there to the at least one flow passage leading to the hose connected to the outlet fitting.
  • the pipe aerator can first be efficiently mounted to the water installation by expert fitters. However, over the life of the outlet fitting or the pipe aerator, it can not be ruled out that dismantling will take place and the fitting will subsequently be operated without the pipe aerator. It may also be that the tube aerator is accidentally mounted without the closing body, for example, together with the hose fitting, and in this case, the closing body can be lost.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a Rohrbelricher in which the above problems do not exist.
  • the present invention is based on the problem of specifying a pipe aerator, with which a secure compliance with the required by standards safeguards to prevent the sudsaugens of water in the drinking water installation can be guaranteed.
  • a Rohrbelricher having the features of claim 1 is given.
  • This pipe diffuser differs from the generic state of the art in that at least one means is provided which cooperates in the assembled state of the pipe aerator in the drinking water installation for permanent mounting of the pipe aerator.
  • means are understood to allow attachment of the Rohrbelrangeers to the drinking water installation, especially a fitting, without destructive disassembly of the pipe aerator from the water installation. This is especially thought of such means that allow easy installation of the Rohrbellusterers to the drinking water installation, without damaging this particular in the training of drinking water installation as a fitting.
  • the agent should preferably not be realized by a soldering or welding connection. Also should be dispensed with funds that affect the quality of the water permanently.
  • preferred means are in particular those means into consideration, which allow a connection of the pipe aerator and fitting by positive engagement and / or adhesion and which are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the base body.
  • the positive-locking means is particularly intended to such means that cause permanent deformation by permanent deformation and insoluble, such as plastically deformable means that contribute to a crimp, or latching means that hold the tube aerator captive to the drinking water installation due to elastic deformation.
  • preference is given to using a one-component or multi-component adhesive which effects an effective connection between the water installation and the pipe aerator, which can not be remedied by technical measures.
  • the pipe aerator to be provided with a cover which forms the Rohrbelufereingang and which is captively connected to the body and forms an upper sealing mating surface for the upper sealing surface of the closing body.
  • the base body is closed on the upper side by the cover so far that the closing body can not be lost by the Rohrbelufereingang.
  • the cover member preferably has a single opening which forms the tube ventilator entrance and which is smaller than the closing body.
  • this second aspect of the present invention provides a tube aerator having a closing body enclosed in the tube aerator housing formed of the base body and the cover member.
  • the closing body can not be lost before or during the assembly of the pipe aerator.
  • the scope of protection should also include a shut-off valve of a drinking water installation, in particular an outlet fitting of the type already mentioned above, which forms an outlet channel extending downwardly laterally from the housing.
  • the housing is extended to form a pipe aerator receiving pipe aerator receptacle and in the tube aerator receiving a pipe aerator is absorbed inextricably in the present invention.
  • the tube aerator receptacle is preferably integrally formed on the valve outlet housing, i. is an integral part of the usually produced by casting or pressing valve outlet housing.
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a front part of an outlet fitting, as known for example from German Utility Model DE 200 01 883 and comprising a valve outlet housing 2 for the exterior of a building, in which a valve head 4 with a rotatably mounted in this, axially immovable adjusting spindle 6 is used with a rotary handle 8, which engages against rotation within the upper valve part 4 in the end of an intermediate spindle 10, which is connected to a valve cone, not shown here and received in an elongated intermediate tube, which is recognizable between the valve outlet housing 2 and the intermediate spindle 10
  • Annular space 12 extends axially.
  • From the valve housing 2 is an exhaust passage 14, which opens into the annular space 12 and is surrounded by an integrally formed on the valve outlet housing outlet 16.
  • This spout 16 is axially displaced by a tube aerator receptacle 18, i. extended in one piece in the direction of the outlet channel 16.
  • the tube aerator receptacle 18 has at its front, i. free end to a cylinder portion 20 whose diameter corresponds to the outer diameter of a pipe aerator 18 used in the Rohrbelricherfact 18.
  • This Rohrbelricher 22 has a substantially cylindrical shape with a circular cross-sectional area and is held at its rear end in a formed on the valve outlet housing 2 in the region of the outlet nozzle 16 inner shoulder 26 on the valve outlet housing 2 centered.
  • the shank portion 20 of the tube aerugor receptacle 18 has at its front end an external thread 28 formed on the outer circumference of the tube aerator receptacle 18. With this external thread 28 a union nut 30 is screwed, which holds a sealingly inserted into the free open end of the Rohrbelindiers 22 hose nozzle 32.
  • a union nut 30 is screwed, which holds a sealingly inserted into the free open end of the Rohrbelcontenters 22 hose nozzle 32.
  • the tulle sealing surface 36 frontally delimiting end face is flat to form a contact surface for a flat gasket, which may be provided on another hose nozzle.
  • the Rohrbelinertext 18 has a radially surrounding the base body 34 annular channel 40, which with an axially below, i. in the flow direction behind the annular channel 40 recessed air inlet opening 42 communicates, which is recessed above the external thread 28 on the outer circumference of the tube aerator receiving 18.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 The details of the exemplary embodiment of a tube aerator 22 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are shown in greater detail in FIGS. 3 to 6.
  • the main body 34 of the tube aerator 22 is formed as a precision casting, in particular as a plastic injection molded part and surrounds a bottom closed pot 44 which opens via two integrally connected to the pot 44 ventilation channels 46 to the outer peripheral surface of the base body 34.
  • the walls 48 of these two ventilation channels 46 extend in the radial direction between the pot 44 and the outer periphery of the main body 34 and leave with respect to the plane of representation of Figure 5 before and behind this level flow passages 50, which are shown in Figure 6.
  • the top of the main body 34 is closed by a cover 52, which is locked to the base 34.
  • This is also preferably a precision casting produced by plastic injection molding.
  • the cover 52 has an abutment flange continuing the top of the cover 52 which holds an O-ring 54 sealingly clamped between the cover 52 and the base 34.
  • the cover 52 has a projecting into the base 34 collar which forms a circumferential annular bead 56 which engages in a circumferentially spaced on the inner peripheral surface of the base 34 annular groove 58. Not least in view of this latching connection between the cover 52 and the base body 34, the wall of the base body 34 in the upper region thereof relative to the wall of the shaft portion 34 is reduced.
  • the cover 52 has a central opening which forms a tube inlet 60. Through the passageways 50 communicates this pipe fan inlet 60 with a arranged at the end of the shaft portion 24 Rohrbel thoroughlyrungsgang 62nd
  • a closing body 64 is axially displaceably held, which has a triangular in cross-section guide pin 66, the web-shaped outer surfaces 68 abut with play on the inner circumference of the pot 44 and cut out between them ventilation passages 70 which extend in the axial direction and with the Ventilation passages 50 communicate.
  • the closing body 64 also has a plate-shaped cap 72, which is formed integrally with the guide pin 66 and whose outer diameter corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the pot 44.
  • this cap 62 bears with the interposition of an O-ring 74 on the front side of the pot 44 and thus closes the pot 44 and thus an access 76 to the ventilation passages 70 and thus the ventilation channels 46. Consequently
  • the lower annular surface formed by the cap 62 forms a lower sealing surface 78 of the closing body 64.
  • the top of the cap 72 is chamfered and thus has one of the recessed in the cover 52 hole corresponding contour through which an upper sealing surface 80 is formed, which is engageable to bear against a formed on the edge of the pipe ventilation inlet 60 upper sealing mating surface 81 of the cover 52 ,
  • a plurality of, in the present case four latching tongues 82 are arranged distributed, which project radially beyond the outer peripheral surface of the base body 34.
  • the foot of these locking tabs 82, i. the attachment-side end of the locking tongues 82 is located in each case in a recess 84 which is recessed on the outer peripheral surface of the base body 34 and opens to its lower end side.
  • the locking tongues 82 are connected to the base body 34 approximately at the level of the lower walls 48 of the ventilation channels 46, i. where the base body 34 has a certain radial stiffening.
  • FIGS. 3 to 6 The embodiment of a pipe aerator shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 is first mounted by inserting the closing body 64 together with the O-ring 74 into the pot 44. Thereafter, the cover member 62 is placed on the base body 34 and locked with the interposition of the O-ring 54 with this.
  • the assembly thus produced, in which the closing body 64 is held captive, can now be inserted into the Rohrbelstructureer effectiveness 18 of the valve outlet housing 2.
  • the locking tongues engage behind a formed on the cylinder portion 20 rear turn 86, which forms a stop surface for the locking tongues 82, so that the Rohrbelpresenter 22 is held in the Rohrbelpresenterability 18.
  • 82 may be provided on this cylinder portion 20 and the number of locking tongues corresponding latching receptacles, which are preferably arranged in to the front end side of the cylinder portion 20 opening receiving grooves and which are engaged behind in the mounted state of the locking tabs 82.
  • These receiving grooves preferably have the width of the locking tongues 82 in the circumferential direction, so that in a simple manner between the tube aerator 22 and the valve outlet housing 2, a rotation is formed.
  • a projection may also be provided in the region of the inner shoulder 26, which cooperates with a recess recessed correspondingly to the base body 34 in the manner of an anti-twist device.
  • the ventilation channels 46 are covered on the outside by the wall of the tube aerator receptacle 18, so that the ingress of dirt and manipulation of the tube aerator 22 by fixing the closing body 64 can be avoided.
  • the closure body 64 With a relative negative pressure acting in the valve outlet housing 2, the closure body 64 is of the closure position shown in the figures raised in an open position, in which the upper sealing surface 80 abuts against the formed on the cover 52 upper sealing counter surface, whereby on the one hand the opening to the outlet nozzle 16 of the valve outlet housing 2 relocated and opened to the other access 76 to the ventilation channels 46 and thus ventilation, for example a hose system connected to the spout 32 is made possible.
