Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the pneumatic actuation of a drain valve in a toilet water cistern, wherein either a full flush or a partial flush is feasible.
  • the invention is based on the object to improve the device specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the achievable with the present invention consist in particular that only one hose is needed to activate a full flush or a partial flush.
  • the number of bellows can be significantly reduced.
  • a holder for the connection of a front side of acting as a lifter second of the bellows is provided on the drain valve, which also has a connection for the hose, the other free end of the bellows cooperates with an overflow pipe, with which the drain valve opened and closed.
  • the outer shell of the bellows comprehensive sleeve which cooperates on the one hand with a contact surface on the overflow pipe and on the other hand appropriately with a snap-like snap connection with a formed in the sleeve partition is connectable.
  • a pin can be formed on the holder expedient, which engages in the bellows and from which the bellows is guided radially.
  • the holder may be arranged with the sleeve in a housing on the drain valve.
  • the sleeve with at least one radially projecting rib in a guide of the housing rotationally fixed but are guided axially movable.
  • the drain valve is held by one or more floats on the overflow pipe floats in the open position in a partial flushing.
  • the holding device is designed so that in case of accidental initiation of a Voll Togethervorgangs with a second complete compression of the bellows during the rinsing process, the holding device immediately releases the overflow pipe and thus the flushing process can be canceled.
  • an axially adjustable float can be arranged on the overflow pipe, with which the General Schlettimenge is adjustable.
  • the overflow pipe can be provided above the contact surface with an enlarged diameter end portion so that the overflow pipe in the cistern filled with water undergoes a corresponding buoyancy, the way that the sealing force of the drain valve remains approximately constant at different water levels.
  • a partially shown cistern 1 with a bottom 10 and a lid 11 is shown.
  • a flushing water line 12 is connected to a toilet, not shown in the drawing.
  • a drain valve 2 is shown, with which in the cistern 1 stored water of Spülwassertechnisch 12 is zuleitbar. The supply of fresh water takes place via a feed valve, not shown in the drawing.
  • the drain valve 2 is provided with an axially overflowable overflow pipe 22, at its lower portion a valve closure member 220 is provided, which cooperates with a valve seat 14 arranged concentrically to the flushing water line 12.
  • a bellows 20 is disposed on a holder 21, wherein on the holder 21, a connection 210 is provided for a line 4.
  • the bellows 20 is guided radially by a cylindrical pin 211 fastened to the holder 21.
  • a piston-like sleeve 23 engages over the bellows 20, wherein the bellows 20 is fastened with its free end side by means of a snap connection 230 to a partition wall 231 of the sleeve 23.
  • the sleeve 23 cooperates with its protruding end face with an approximately horizontally formed contact surface 221 on the overflow pipe 22.
  • the sleeve 23 is held with ribs 232 in guides 240 of the housing 24 movable in the axial direction, as it in particular Fig. 3 the drawing can be seen.
  • the sleeve 23 carries a radial projection 233, which cooperates with a mechanical holding device 6 for the overflow pipe 22.
  • the overflow pipe 22 is funnel-shaped into an enlarged end portion 222 in the diameter, as it in particular from FIGS. 11 to 13 the drawing can be seen.
  • a float 5 axially adjustable on the overflow pipe 22 can be fixed.
  • an extension 223 attachable at the end portion 222.
  • an actuating device 3 with a bellows 30 is provided on the cover 11.
  • the bellows 30 can be up to 75% of its maximum with a button 31 Volume reduction can be compressed while it is completely compressible with the key 32.
  • the actuating device 3 is returned by a return spring 33 back to the rest position.
  • the bellows 30 is completely compressed, as can be seen in particular Fig. 6 the drawing can be seen.
  • the thus increased amount of air leads to a stronger deflection of the bellows 20 on the lifting device, so that thereby the protrusion 233 of the sleeve 23 rotates the control shaft 60 through a lever by a certain angle of rotation, whereby a float-controlled locking device 61 is released, which locks the overflow pipe 22 in the open position of the drain valve 2 with a retaining lug 610.
  • the float-controlled locking device is arranged in a water chamber in the housing 24, from which the water can flow with a delay.
  • the float-controlled locking device 61 is designed so that it releases the overflow pipe 22 only after the complete emptying of the cistern 1 and then the overflow pipe 22 can fall back with the valve closure member 220 in its closed position on the valve seat 14, after which the cistern 1 again with water can be filled to a water level 13, as in Fig. 1 the drawing is given.
