Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of sanitary engineering. It relates to a connection device for a wall mixer according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Connection devices for wall mixer are known in many forms. When installing such connection devices, each having an access for hot water and cold water and a departure for the mixed water, it may happen that the supply lines led to the connection devices for cold and hot water are interchanged and / or rotated about a common axis ,
  • connection devices have already been proposed in the past, with which a rotation and / or interchange of the supply lines for cold and hot water can be compensated.
  • So z. B. the publication DE-C2-38 26 009 a connection device in which the mixing valve can be aligned regardless of the orientation of the water supply lines for hot and cold water in the desired manner and additionally in their distance from the wall can be changed.
  • the mixed water outlet is fixed in the direction with respect to the built-in mixer, i.e., the mixed water outlet can not be twisted relative to the mixer.
  • connection device for a wall mixer in which the mixer and the mixed water outlet independent of the angular position of the two water inputs cold and hot water can be fixed in position, and in the above all the mixed water outlet regardless of the angular position of the mixer can be fixed in position.
  • the object is solved by the entirety of the features of claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a mountable to the masonry or the installation wall housing with a cold water inlet and a hot water inlet, a relative to the housing about an axis perpendicular to the masonry or installation wall axis rotatable mixer insert, which is provided for receiving a mixer cartridge communicates with the housing in such a way that regardless of the rotational position of the mixer insert around the axis always in the same way cold water from the cold water inlet and hot water from the hot water inlet to the mixer cartridge is guided, as well as means that lead the resulting mixed water from the mixer cartridge to a spout for the mixed water.
  • the spout is rotatable relative to the housing and the mixer insert about the axis and is in communication with the mixer insert so that regardless of the rotational position of the spout and the mixer insert to the Axis always in the same way the mixed water from the mixer cartridge to the outlet is performed.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that for the rotation angle-independent guidance of the water between the housing, the mixer insert and the outlet a plurality of concentric with the axis arranged annular channels are provided.
  • a development of the invention is characterized in that the housing has a coaxial blind bore, that the mixer insert is cylindrical and rotatably mounted with one end in the blind bore of the housing such that at the bottom of the blind bore a free space remains that the mixer insert at the other end has a receiving portion for receiving the mixer cartridge that within the mixer insert, a first longitudinal bore extends, which connects the receiving lot with the free space that in the blind bore between the mixer insert and the housing, a first concentric annular channel is arranged, that within the mixer insert a second longitudinal bore extends, which connects via a leading to the first annular channel first transverse bore the receiving part with the first annular channel, and that the cold water inlet via a first oblique bore with the first annular channel and the hot water inlet via a second oblique hole is connected to the free space.
  • the housing has a hollow-cylindrical section in the region of the mixer insert inserted in the blind bore, that the housing in the hollow-cylindrical section is concentrically enclosed by a mixed-water outlet, which is rotatably mounted relative to the housing about the axis, that in the hollow cylindrical portion in the blind bore between the mixer insert and the housing, a second concentric annular channel is arranged, that the second concentric annular channel is enclosed by a third concentric annular channel, which between the housing and arranged the mixed water outlet, that the mixed water outlet has a with the third annular channel via a second transverse bore in communication, radially outwardly outgoing outlet opening, that the second and the third annular channel are interconnected by a third transverse bore in the housing, and in that a longitudinal channel runs within the mixer insert, which connects the receiving part to the second annular channel via a fourth transverse bore leading to the second annular channel.
  • the mixed water outlet is rotatable through 360 ° about the axis, and is secured with one or more screws.
  • the outlet can be plugged with its one end sealingly in the outlet opening and there, preferably by means of a screw secured.
  • annular channels and possibly the free space are sealed by concentrically arranged O-rings.
  • Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the cold water inlet and the hot water inlet are formed as parallel to each other and oriented perpendicular to the axis nozzle on the housing.
  • Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that a cover plate is provided to cover the connection device, and that the protruding from the cover plate part of the mixer insert is covered with a sleeve.
  • an O-ring is preferably arranged between the sleeve and the mixer insert for fixing the sleeve on the mixer insert.
  • the connecting device 100 comprises a housing 1 (see also FIGS. 2 and 5) with the two connecting pieces for cold water inlet 2 and hot water inlet 3.
  • the housing 1 has an axis 42 and a coaxial, stepped blind bore 4 , in which a mixer insert 5 is inserted properly and sealed.
  • the mixer insert 5 has a receiving portion 6 for installation of a commercially available mixer cartridge 7. With 8 the whole actuator is called, which is also commercially available.
  • the recording lot 6 has at the bottom depending on an input hole for cold water 9 and hot water 10, a hole for mixed water 11 and two holes 12 for fixing pins.
  • the fixing hole 14 can be drilled arbitrarily (it is also a circumferential groove conceivable) so is the position of the housing 1 to the mixer insert 5 at any angle with respect to the axis 42 conceivable. With 15 of the rotatable mixed water outlet is called.
  • the incoming cold water flows from the cold water inlet 2 through an oblique bore 16 in an annular channel 17 and from there through a short first transverse bore 41 in the longitudinal bore 18, which ends in the inlet hole for cold water 9.
  • the incoming hot water flows from the hot water inlet 3 through an oblique bore 19 in the space 20 between the housing 1 and mixer insert 5. From there, the hot water flows through the continuous longitudinal bore 21 which ends in the inlet bore for hot water 10.
  • the mixed water flows from the bore 11 in an axis-parallel longitudinal channel 22 and from there through a second transverse bore 23 in an axis 42 concentric inner annular channel 24. From there leads a third transverse bore 25 in a concentric outer annular channel 26. This annular channel is through a fourth transverse bore 27 connected to an outlet opening 28 in the mixed water outlet 15. An outlet 29 is inserted into the outlet opening 28 and secured with a screw 30.
  • the 360 ° about the axis 42 rotatable mixed water outlet 15 is secured with one or more screws 31.
  • the three ring channels 17, 24 and 26 are sealed by O-rings 32.
  • at least one mounting bracket is referred to by means of which the housing 1 is fixed to the masonry or to an installation wall.
  • sleeve 35 of the mixer insert 5 With a sleeve 35 of the mixer insert 5 is covered, said sleeve 35 outside can have any shape or any color or surface structure.
  • An arranged between sleeve 35 and mixer insert 5 O-ring 36 serves to ensure a certain seizure of the sleeve 35.
  • Fig. 4 is a view from the direction of ⁇ (axial direction) is shown, in which case the mixer is arranged on the right and the (outer) outlet 37 on the left.
  • Other arrangements in which, for example, mixer and outer spout 37 exchange positions or are arranged vertically one above the other, are easily possible with the same parts.
  • the outer spout 37, an outlet rosette 38 around the outer outlet 37 around, the actuator 8, a rosette 39 for the mixer, and a cover plate 40 for the whole connecting device 100 are in this case, square resp. rectangular.
