Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pressure cistern for a water closet according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the US-A-5,553,333 discloses a generic pressure cistern.
  • the pressure reducing valve has a compression spring, which is variable by turning a sleeve with respect to its bias. Depending on the bias of the spring, the pressure reducing valve is closed when filling the cistern sooner or later.
  • the compression spring and the sleeve are at an upper wall of the cistern and the piston at the upper end of an inlet pipe. Due to this separate arrangement, it should be difficult to achieve an exact and consistent adjustment.
  • Pressure flush boxes of this type have the advantage that they allow for relatively small water consumption effective cleaning of the toilet bowl.
  • the pressure tank is filled with flushing water with a water pipe connected to the pressurized cistern. In this case, existing air is compressed in the pressure tank. If the outlet valve is opened, rinse water is released into the toilet bowl while the air is released.
  • the outlet valve is designed as a piston and closes the outlet valve when the rinse water has flowed out.
  • system separator Another component of the pressurized cistern is the so-called system separator, which prevents rinsing water from being sucked from the pressure tank into the supply line when there is a negative pressure in the water line.
  • system separator vacuum breaker
  • a pressure reducing valve which limits the maximum pressure.
  • This pressure reducing valve has the off WO 98/39522 known Druck Hugheskasten on a piston which is exposed to the pressure in the pressure tank and closes against the retroactive force of a spring, the mouth of a nozzle. If the pressure in the pressure tank drops during a purge, it displaces the piston of the pressure reducing valve due to a pressure difference on the piston and thus the inlet valve is opened. Through the released mouth of the nozzle, water flows into the pressure tank. If a predetermined pressure in the pressure tank is reached, the pressure reducing valve closes. By replacing the said spring, the intended maximum pressure in the pressure tank can be changed. A stronger spring gives a higher pressure and a weaker spring a lower pressure. Such an exchange of the spring is comparatively expensive.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pressure cistern of the type mentioned, which allows easier transition to another maximum pressure in the pressure tank.
  • the closing force of the counterpressure spring of the pressure reducing valve is adjustable. This is then structurally particularly simple and easy to use, when the compression spring is adjustable with an adjusting ring, wherein the adjusting ring for the spring forms an abutment.
  • the valve housing of the input valve is designed to be open at the side so that the adjustment ring can be grasped and adjusted from the outside.
  • stepped recesses are arranged on the valve housing, each corresponding to a setting position of the adjusting ring.
  • a level corresponds to an internal pressure of 1.5 bar, a second recess to an internal pressure of 2 bar and a further recess to an internal pressure of 2.5 bar.
  • the adjusting ring retaining cam to its step-like adjustment.
  • These retaining cams sirid accessible from the outside and fixed in each case in a corresponding recess of the valve housing.
  • the adjusting means or the adjusting ring is infinitely adjustable.
  • a particularly simple and inexpensive construction results from the arrangement of the pressure reducing valve at the output of a system separator.
  • said adjusting ring is arranged axially adjustable on the circumference of the nozzle body of the pressure reducing valve.
  • the pressure cistern 1 has a in Figure 1 only partially shown pressure tank 2, which has a pressure chamber 3, which via a pressure reducing valve 27 with Rinse water is filled.
  • the pressure cistern 1 is connected to a connecting piece 5 of a system separator 25 to a pressurized water line, not shown here.
  • the known system separator 25 is provided for safety reasons and prevents water from the pressure tank 2 can get into the supply line at a negative pressure.
  • Such system separator are in many countries regulation and known per se.
  • the system separator 25 has a housing 6 which forms a horizontally extending nozzle body 21 at a lower end. In the nozzle body 21 also runs horizontally a channel 15 with an orifice. 4
  • the nozzle body 21 is part of a pressure reducing valve 27, which is arranged at the output of the system separator 25.
  • the pressure reducing valve 27 has a cap-shaped housing 7 which is inserted into an opening 31 of the housing 6.
  • the connection of the housing 7 to the housing 6 may be formed for example as a bayonet or screw connection.
  • the housing 7 has at one end an opening 8, which leads into a pipe 30 and finally into the pressure tank 2.
  • the front end of the nozzle body 21 forms a valve seat 14, which cooperates with a closure body 12.
  • This closure body 12 is preferably designed as a ball and mounted in a flow channel 13 of a piston 9.
  • This piston 9 has a guide member 18 which is sealed with a seal 29 slidably against the housing 7.
  • the guide member 18 is also also sealed with a further seal 28 relative to the nozzle body 21 slidably.
  • the seal 28 is located immediately behind the valve seat 14. The piston 9 is thus limited in the direction of the channel 15 slidably guided.
  • the pressure reducing valve 27 also has a compression spring 16, which is designed as a spiral spring and which is supported at one end to an adjusting means 17 and at the other end on the guide part 18 of the piston 9.
  • the adjusting means 17 is annular as shown and forms an abutment for the compression spring 16.
  • the adjustment means surrounds the nozzle body 21 and is slidably guided on a cylindrical inner surface 34 of the housing 6.
  • the adjusting means 17 has at least one cam 22, which is accessible according to Figure 5 through a window 19 of the housing 6.
  • recesses 20, 23 and 24 are arranged according to the figures 5 to 7, each forming a seat for a cam 22.
  • the recesses 20, 23 and 24 are formed so that the respective positions of the cam 22 are staggered in the longitudinal direction of the channel 15.
  • the recess 20 shown in Figure 5 forms a first position in which the adjusting means 17 is furthest away from the mouth 14.
  • the bias of the compression spring 16 is lowest in this position.
  • the recess 23 results in a corresponding positioning of the cam 22 in this recess 23 has an average bias and the recess 24 gives the largest bias of the compression spring 16.
  • the adjustment means 17 can be adjusted between these three positions. This is done by the adjusting means 17 taken on the two cams 22, unlocked by turning, moved and locked again by turning again. Basically, more or fewer levels are possible. In addition, it is conceivable to enable a stepless adjustment, for example by means of a thread. However, the step arrangement facilitates the adjustment.
