Abstract

A flushing system for a WC cistern, especially for mounting into a wall, has a spring support (22) which grips the flushing lever and is tensioned during the flushing operation. The spring returns the flushing lever to a preset position after release of the flushing control (12). A simple lever (19) connects the flushing control with the flushing lever. The system is suitable for part flush and full flush settings.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Betätigung des Ablaufventils eines Spülkastens, mit einem Betätigungselement, welches über ein Verbindungselement mit einem schwenkbar gelagerten Hebel wirkverbunden ist, der mit dem Verschlusskörper des Ablaufventils verbunden ist, um dieses bei einer Spülauslösung anzuheben.The invention relates to a device for actuating the drain valve of a cistern, with an actuating element, which is operatively connected via a connecting element with a pivotally mounted lever which is connected to the closure body of the drain valve in order to raise this at a Spülauslösung.

Solche Vorrichtungen sind in zahlreichen Ausführungen seit langem bekannt. Die Betätigung kann von Hand oder mit einem Motor erfolgen. Die Auslösung von Hand erfolgt in der Regel durch Betätigen einer Taste oder eines Druckknopfes, wobei über einen Hebel der Verschlusskörper des Auslaufventils angehoben und damit das Ventil geöffnet wird. Allgemein bekannt sind auch Vorrichtungen mit zwei Tasten, wobei die eine Taste für eine Teilspülung und die andere Taste für eine Vollspülung vorgesehen ist. Bei Unterputz-Spülkästen mit einer Abdeckplatte ist es üblich, dass die Bewegung einer Taste mittels einer Drückerstange auf einen zweiarmigen Hebel übertragen wird. Dieser Hebel ist beispielsweise ein Winkelhebel und mit dem Verschlusskörper in Eingriff. Bei Unterputz-Spülkästen besteht allgemein die Schwierigkeit, dass der Innenraum des Kastenkörpers lediglich über eine vergleichsweise schmale Revisionsöffnung zugänglich ist. Die Sichtbarkeit ist hier wesentlich eingeschränkt.Such devices have long been known in numerous designs. The operation can be done by hand or with a motor. The release by hand is usually done by pressing a button or a push button, which is raised by a lever, the closure body of the outlet valve and thus the valve is opened. Also known are devices with two buttons, one button for a partial flush and the other button for a full flush is provided. For concealed cisterns with a cover plate, it is common that the movement of a button is transmitted by means of a presser bar on a two-armed lever. This lever is for example an angle lever and with the closure body in engagement. For concealed cisterns is generally the difficulty that the interior of the box body is accessible only via a comparatively narrow inspection opening. Visibility is significantly limited here.

Eine Vorrichtung der genannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der DE 31 39 834 A1 des Anmelders bekannt geworden. Diese Vorrichtung hat sich in der Praxis an und für sich bewährt. Der Verschlusskörper des Auslaufventils ist hier ein Überlaufrohr, das durch Verschwenken eines Winkelhebels angehoben wird. Der Winkelhebel greift mit einem Arm in eine Öffnung einer Lasche des Verschlusskörpers ein. Nach der Spülung senkt sich der Verschlusskörper und bringt den Winkelhebel und die mit diesem verbundene Taste wieder in die Ruhestellung zurück. Die Verbindung der Taste mit dem Winkelhebel erfolgt über eine Drückerstange, welche mittels eines Mitnehmers mit der Taste gekoppelt ist. Diese Koppelung ermöglicht eine Spülunterbrechung, indem die Taste vorzeitig in die Ruhestellung verschwenkt wird.A device of the type mentioned is for example from the DE 31 39 834 A1 have become known to the applicant. This device has proven itself in practice in and of itself. The closure body of the outlet valve is here an overflow pipe, through Swiveling an angle lever is raised. The angle lever engages with an arm in an opening of a tab of the closure body. After flushing, the closure body lowers and brings the angle lever and the associated button back to the rest position. The connection of the key with the angle lever via a pusher rod, which is coupled by means of a driver with the key. This coupling allows a rinse interruption by the key is prematurely pivoted to the rest position.

Die DE 297 22 148 U offenbart eine Vorrichtung, die für einen Unterputz-Spülkasten vorgesehen ist. Die hier ebenfalls vorgesehene Drückerstange ist direkt mit der Betätigungstaste verbunden.The DE 297 22 148 U discloses a device intended for a concealed cistern. The here also provided presser bar is directly connected to the operation key.

Eine besondere Schwierigkeit bei der Montage der genannten Vorrichtung ist die Anpassung des Hebels bzw. des Winkelhebels an das Auslaufventil. Bei einer Betätigung mit einem Motor kann diese Schwierigkeit gemäss der EP 1 389 657 B dadurch gelöst werden, dass der Hebel mittels einer geeigneten elektronischen Steuerung selbsttätig positioniert wird. Bei einer Vorrichtung mit Handbetätigung ist dies jedoch nicht möglich.A particular difficulty in the assembly of said device is the adaptation of the lever or the angle lever to the outlet valve. When operated with a motor, this difficulty in accordance with the EP 1 389 657 B be solved in that the lever is automatically positioned by means of a suitable electronic control. In a device with manual operation, this is not possible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, welche die genannte Schwierigkeit vermeidet. Die Vorrichtung soll trotzdem bei einem einfachen Aufbau kostengünstig herstellbar sowie funktionssicher sein.The invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which avoids the mentioned difficulty. The device should still be inexpensive to produce and reliable in a simple structure.

Diese Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Vorrichtung dadurch gelöst, dass Mittel vorgesehen sind, die den Hebel, unabhängig von der Position der Taste, nach einer Betätigung selbsttätig in eine vorbestimmte Ausgangsstellung bewegen und in dieser Stellung unabhängig vom Verschlusskörper halten. Bei der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung besitzt der Hebel somit eine definierte Ausgangsposition, wobei diese unabhängig ist vom Auslaufventil und vom Betätigungselement. Bei der Montage der Vorrichtung bzw. des Spülkastens muss somit die Position des Hebels nicht eingestellt werden. Der Hebel wird nicht wie bisher durch den Verschlusskörper in die Ausgangsposition gebracht. Entsprechende Toleranzen müssen deshalb bei der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung nicht eingehalten werden.This object is achieved in a generic device in that means are provided which move the lever, regardless of the position of the key, after an operation automatically in a predetermined starting position and hold in this position regardless of the closure body. In the inventive device, the lever thus has a defined starting position, which is independent of the outlet valve and the actuating element. When mounting the device or the cistern thus the position of the lever does not need to be adjusted. The lever is not brought as before by the closure body in the starting position. Corresponding tolerances must therefore not be complied with in the inventive device.

Die genannten Mittel können besonders kostengünstig und einfach gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung durch ein Federelement realisiert werden. Das Federelement ist vorzugsweise als Drahtklammer ausgebildet, die am Hebel angreift, und beispielsweise an einem Lagerbock abgestützt ist. Ein Abschnitt des Hebels ist gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung in der Ausgangsstellung durch einen Anschlag an einem festen Teil des Spülkastens positioniert. Dieser Teil ist insbesondere ein Teil einer Brücke, an welcher der Hebel schwenkbar gelagert ist.The said means can be realized in a particularly cost-effective and simple manner according to an embodiment of the invention by a spring element. The spring element is preferably designed as a wire clamp, which acts on the lever, and is supported for example on a bearing block. A portion of the lever is positioned according to an embodiment of the invention in the starting position by a stop on a fixed part of the cistern. This part is in particular a part of a bridge, on which the lever is pivotally mounted.

Das Verbindungselement, welches das Betätigungselement mit dem Hebel verbindet, ist insbesondere eine Drückerstange, welche durch eine Drehrastverbindung mit dem Hebel verbunden ist. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Montage, insbesondere bei Unterputz-Spülkästen. Insbesondere ist die Montage mit der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung auch dann besonders einfach, wenn die Betätigung von oben erfolgt und die Drückerstange somit vertikal ausgerichtet ist.The connecting element, which connects the actuating element with the lever, is in particular a presser bar, which is connected by a rotational locking connection with the lever. This allows a particularly simple installation, especially in concealed cisterns. In particular, the assembly with the inventive device is also particularly simple when the operation is done from above and the pusher rod is thus aligned vertically.

Die Montage ist dann besonders einfach, wenn die Drückerstange vorzugsweise an einem vorderen Ende ein Anschlagmittel aufweist, mit dem sie bei der Montage in einer vorbestimmten Einstecktiefe positionierbar und mit dem genannten Hebel, beispielsweise durch Verdrehen, verbindbar ist. Die Drückerstange kann somit bei der Montage bis zum genannten Anschlag eingeschoben werden und ist damit genau und sicher positioniert. Die Verbindung mit dem Hebel erfolgt dann durch eine Drehbewegung, bei welcher eine Zahnung der Drückerstange in eine Zahnung einer Verbindungsmutter eingreift. Solche Drückerstangen und Muttern bzw. die genannte Verbindung dem Fachmann bekannt.The assembly is particularly simple if the pusher rod preferably at a front end has a stop means with which it can be positioned during assembly in a predetermined insertion depth and with said lever, for example by twisting, connectable. The pusher rod can thus be inserted during assembly to said stop and is thus accurately and safely positioned. The connection with the lever then takes place by a rotary movement in which a toothing of the presser bar engages in a toothing of a connecting nut. Such pusher rods and nuts or said compound known to those skilled in the art.

Die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung ermöglicht somit eine wesentlich einfachere und schnellere Montage von Spülkästen und insbesondere von Unterputz-Spülkästen. Aufgrund der definierten Ausgangsposition des Hebels ergibt sich zudem eine funktionssichere Arbeitsweise.The inventive device thus allows a much easier and faster installation of cisterns and in particular flush-mounted cisterns. Due to the defined starting position of the lever also results in a functionally reliable operation.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie der Zeichnung.Further advantageous features emerge from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.

Der in Figur 1 gezeigte Spülkasten 1 ist ein Unterputz-Spülkasten, welcher einen an sich bekannten Kastenkörper 2 aus Kunststoff aufweist, der eine Aussenisolation 3 besitzt. Im Kastenkörper 2 ist ein an sich bekanntes Auslaufventil 4 montiert, welches einen anhebbaren Verschlusskörper 5 besitzt. Der Verschlusskörper 5 ist hier als Überlaufrohr ausgebildet, was aber nicht zwingend ist. Am unteren Ende besitzt der Verschlusskörper 5 einen hier nicht gezeigten Ventilteller, der mit dem Ventilsitz des Auslaufventils 4 zusammenarbeitet. An seinem oberen Ende weist der Verschlusskörper 5 eine Lasche 6 auf, die eine Öffnung 7 besitzt, in welche ein Hebel 20 lose eingreift. Durch Verschwenken des Hebels 20 kann die Sterilisationskammer 5 angehoben werden. Dadurch wird eine Spülung ausgelöst. Die Spülung kann eine Teilspülung oder eine Vollspülung sein.The cistern 1 shown in Figure 1 is a flush-mounted cistern, which has a known per se box body 2 made of plastic, which has an outer insulation 3. In the box body 2, a known per se outlet valve 4 is mounted, which has a liftable closure body 5. The closure body 5 is formed here as an overflow pipe, but this is not mandatory. At the lower end of the closure body 5 has a valve plate, not shown here, which cooperates with the valve seat of the outlet valve 4. At its upper end, the closure body 5 on a tab 6, which has an opening 7, in which a lever 20 loosely engaged. By pivoting the lever 20, the sterilization chamber 5 can be raised. This will trigger a flush. The rinse may be a partial rinse or a full rinse.

In den Kastenkörper 2 ist eine Lagerbrücke 8 eingesetzt, die rahmenförmig ausgebildet ist, und welche zur Lagerung des Hebels 20 einen nach oben ragenden Lagerbock 9 aufweist. Über der Lagerbrücke 8 befinden sich eine vordere Revisionsöffnung 18 und eine obere Revisionsöffnung 16. In der Figur 1 ist die vordere Revisionsöffnung 18 mit einer Platte 17 verschlossen. Diese vordere Revisionsöffnung 18 wird hier somit nicht benutzt. Über der oberen und hier benutzten Revisionsöffnung 16 ist ein Rahmen 15 angeordnet, der als so genannter Bauschutzrahmen ausgebildet sein kann und der einen Halter 14 aufnimmt, an dem eine Betätigungsplatte 11 montiert ist. An dieser Betätigungsplatte 11 ist wenigstens eine Taste 12 an einem Lager 13 schwenkbar befestigt. Denkbar ist auch eine Ausführung mit zwei Tasten 12, wobei die eine Taste für eine Vollspülung und die andere Taste für eine Teilspülung vorgesehen ist. Die Taste 12 kann auch als Druckknopf oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein. Denkbar ist hier auch eine berührungslose Betätigung, beispielsweise mit einer Fernbedienung.In the box body 2, a bearing bridge 8 is inserted, which is frame-shaped, and which has an upwardly projecting bearing block 9 for supporting the lever 20. Above the bearing bridge 8 there are a front access opening 18 and an upper access opening 16. In FIG. 1, the front access opening 18 is closed by a plate 17. This front access opening 18 is thus not used here. Above the upper and here used inspection opening 16, a frame 15 is arranged, which may be formed as a so-called Bauschutzrahmen and which receives a holder 14 to which an actuating plate 11 is mounted. At this actuation plate 11 at least one button 12 is pivotally mounted on a bearing 13. It is also conceivable a version with two buttons 12, where one button for a full flush and the other button for a partial purge is provided. The key 12 may also be designed as a push button or the like. Conceivable here is a non-contact operation, for example with a remote control.

Der Halter 14 besitzt gemäss Figur 4 eine Öffnung 32, durch welche das obere Ende einer Drückerstange 19 hindurchragt. Dieses Ende der Drückerstange 19 besitzt eine obere Fläche 33, mit welcher die Drückerstange 19 an der Unterseite der Taste 12 anliegt, wie dies in Figur 1 gezeigt ist. Im Abstand zu dieser Fläche 33 greift die Drückerstange 19 gemäss Figur 2 in eine Mutter 24 ein, welche zwei gegenüberliegende Lagerzapfen 26 besitzt, mit denen die Mutter 24 am Hebel 20 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Lagerzapfen 26 greifen jeweils in eine Lageröffnung 27 des Hebels ein. Die Drückerstange 19 besitzt gegenüberliegende Zahnungen 23, die mit korrespondierenden Zahnungen 25 der Mutter 24 in Eingriff sind. Durch Drehen der Drückerstange 19 kann dieser Eingriff aufgehoben werden, so dass die Drückerstange 19 in ihrer Längsrichtung frei in der Mutter 24 verschiebbar ist. Durch entsprechendes Drehen in der anderen Richtung kann der Eingriff wieder hergestellt werden, so dass die Drückerstange 19 in der Mutter 24 in Längsrichtung fixiert ist. Dem Fachmann ist dies bei Unterputz-Spülkästen seit langem bekannt.The holder 14 has, according to FIG. 4, an opening 32, through which the upper end of a pusher bar 19 projects. This end of the pusher rod 19 has an upper surface 33, with which the pusher rod 19 abuts against the underside of the button 12, as shown in Figure 1. At a distance from this surface 33 engages the pusher rod 19 according to Figure 2 in a nut 24, which has two opposite bearing pin 26, with which the nut 24 is pivotally mounted on the lever 20. The bearing pins 26 each engage in a bearing opening 27 of the lever. The pusher rod 19 has opposing serrations 23 which are in engagement with corresponding serrations 25 of the nut 24. By turning the pusher rod 19, this engagement can be canceled, so that the pusher rod 19 is freely displaceable in the longitudinal direction in the nut 24. By corresponding rotation in the other direction, the engagement can be restored, so that the pusher rod 19 is fixed in the nut 24 in the longitudinal direction. This has long been known to the person skilled in the art in flush-mounted cisterns.

Die Mutter 24 verbindet die Drückerstange 19 gelenkig mit dem Hebel 20. Der Hebel 20 ist ein zweiarmiger Hebel, wobei die Mutter 24 am kürzeren Hebelarm befestigt ist. Der längere Hebelarm greift in die Öffnung 7 der Lasche 6 ein. In der Ruhestellung berührt hierbei der Hebel 20 die Lasche 6 nicht, wie dies in Figur 1 gezeigt ist. Der Hebel 20 ist mit einem hier nicht gezeigten üblichen Lager schwenkbar am Lagerbock 9 gelagert. An diesem Lagerbock 9 ist das in Figur 3 gezeigte Federelement 22 abgestützt, welches klammerförmig aus einem elastischen Draht hergestellt ist. Das Federelement 22 könnte aber beispielsweise als Blattfeder ausgebildet sein. Die Abstützung erfolgt an einem bügelförmigen Arm 28. Zwei hakenförmige Teile bzw. Haken 29 greifen von oben am längeren Arm des Hebels 20 an. Durch das Federelement 22 wird der Hebel 20 so belastet, dass eine Wandung 21 an einer Unterseite 34 des Lagerbocks 9 anliegt. Die Drückerstange 19 liegt nun mit der Fläche 33 an der Unterseite der Taste 12 an. Der Hebel 20 besitzt die vorgesehene korrekte Ruheposition bzw. Ausgangsstellung für die Auslösung einer Spülung. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung 10 ist damit montiert und für die Auslösung einer Spülung bereit. Wie bereits oben erwähnt, kann die Betätigungsvorrichtung 10 auch zwei Tasten 12 oder beispielsweise zwei Druckknöpfe aufweisen. Die Montage erfolgt hierbei ähnlich, d.h. das Verbindungselement bzw. die Drückerstange 19 wird mit dem Hebel 20 verbunden, welcher durch das Federelement 22 oder ein anderes geeignetes Kraftelement in einer vorbestimmten Ausgangsposition gehalten wird. Die Drückerstange 19 bzw. das Verbindungselement wird hier von Hand betätigt. Grundsätzlich könnte das Verbindungselement bzw. die Drückerstange beispielsweise auch von einem Motor oder dergleichen bewegt werden.The nut 24 hingedly connects the pusher bar 19 to the lever 20. The lever 20 is a two-armed lever, with the nut 24 attached to the shorter lever arm. The longer lever arm engages in the opening 7 of the tab 6. In the rest position, the lever 20 does not touch the tab 6, as shown in FIG. The lever 20 is pivotally mounted on the bearing block 9 with a conventional bearing, not shown here. At this bearing block 9, the spring element 22 shown in Figure 3 is supported, which is made in a clamp shape of an elastic wire. However, the spring element 22 could for example be designed as a leaf spring. The support takes place on a bow-shaped arm 28. Two hook-shaped parts or hooks 29 engage from above on the longer arm of the lever 20. By the spring element 22, the lever 20 is loaded so that a wall 21 rests against an underside 34 of the bearing block 9. The pusher rod 19 is now in contact with the surface 33 on the underside of the button 12. The lever 20 has the intended correct rest position or starting position for triggering a flushing. The actuator 10 is mounted therewith and for the Triggering a flush ready. As already mentioned above, the actuating device 10 may also have two buttons 12 or for example two push buttons. The assembly is similar, ie the connecting element or the presser rod 19 is connected to the lever 20, which is held by the spring element 22 or another suitable force element in a predetermined starting position. The pusher rod 19 or the connecting element is actuated here by hand. In principle, the connecting element or the presser rod could also be moved, for example, by a motor or the like.

Bei der Montage wird die Drückerstange 19 bei einer oberen Revisionsöffnung gemäss Figur 1 von oben und bei einer seitlichen Revisionsöffnung von vorne durch die Öffnung 32 des Halters 14 eingesetzt. Damit die vorgesehene Einstecktiefe bzw. Position der Drückerstange 19 einfach und sicher gefunden werden kann, sind am oberen Ende der Drückerstange 19 gemäss Figur 4 zwei diametral gegenüberliegende und radial vorstehende Anschlagnocken 30 angeformt. In der vorgesehenen Position steht ein Anschlagnocken 30 gemäss Figur 4 auf einem Steg 31 des Halters 14 auf. In dieser Position wird die Drückerstange 19 um ihre Längsachse gedreht und damit die Verbindung mit der Mutter 24 hergestellt. Die Anschlagnocken 30 werden entsprechend gedreht, so dass der Eingriff am Steg 31 aufgehoben wird. Bei einer Betätigung kann nun die Drückerstange 19 frei in ihrer Längsrichtung bewegt werden.During assembly, the presser bar 19 is inserted from above at an upper inspection opening according to FIG. 1 and from the front through the opening 32 of the holder 14 in the case of a lateral inspection opening. Thus, the intended insertion depth or position of the pusher rod 19 can be found easily and safely, two diametrically opposite and radially projecting stop cam 30 are formed at the upper end of the pusher rod 19 according to FIG 4. In the intended position is a stop cam 30 according to Figure 4 on a web 31 of the holder 14. In this position, the pusher rod 19 is rotated about its longitudinal axis and thus the connection to the nut 24 is made. The stop cams 30 are rotated accordingly, so that the engagement on the web 31 is released. Upon actuation, the pusher bar 19 can now be moved freely in its longitudinal direction.
