Definitions

  • the invention relates to a jet outlet element for sanitary fittings according to the preamble of claim 1, as it is used in particular for flood showers.
  • Baffles serve to form a closed free-falling wide jet of water, which forms the smoothest possible flow.
  • a metallic housing which has on one side a circular cylindrical nozzle for the water inlet.
  • the housing is angled relative to the connection piece. In the transition between the connecting piece and the angled housing guide means are present, which redirect the incoming water ( DE 26 19 415 ).
  • All known flood showers have in common that the interior of the housing, starting from the connecting piece, gradually converts into a shape similar to the slot-like outlet opening.
  • the well-known water faucets are independent fittings that are connected directly to a domestic installation.
  • a waterfall device which has a large chamber at the entrance to the water, which is divided by a wall into two parts. Between the two parts of the chamber is a passage which is covered by a sieve, whereby the water vortices in the first part of the chamber as it passes through the sieve partially calm. A long flat rectangular channel is located in front of the outlet end ( US 2001/0018776 ).
  • a similar artificial waterfall device is off US 6170094 known. Waterfall devices of this type are designed to produce a continuous artificial waterfall.
  • a jet outlet element according to the preamble of claim 1 is eg in the EP 0 319 417 A1 disclosed.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a jet outlet element, which offers the possibility even in unfavorable space or installation situations to produce a clean surge beam.
  • the invention proposes a jet outlet element with the features mentioned in claim 1.
  • This jet outlet element is intended in particular as part of a sanitary fitting for generating a surge jet.
  • the jet outlet element contains two chambers, namely an inlet chamber, into which the water inlet leads, and a jet outlet chamber, from which the jet outlet takes place, the water outlet also being slit-like. Between the two chambers there is a flow straightener, which serves the flow of the into the To rectify and unify the inlet chamber of incoming water. This makes it possible to make the inlet into the inlet chamber regardless of whether this is particularly favorable for the formation of a surge jet. As a result, the designer has greater freedom in the design of his sanitary fittings, because he can arrange the water inlet practically any.
  • a calming zone for the flowing water is arranged downstream of the flow rectifier.
  • the initially rectified flowing water can be soothed again that a visually appealing flow is achieved.
  • the calming zone has a plurality of braking elements which slow down the flow of water.
  • the inlet chamber of the jet outlet element has a flat approximately rectangular cross-section in the flow direction.
  • the jet outlet chamber has a flat rectangular cross section in the flow direction. In this way it is possible to form the entire jet outlet element as a flat disk-like component that can be used in sanitary fittings.
  • Both chambers can be arranged lying approximately in the same plane.
  • the jet outlet chamber has a decreasing height.
  • the jet outlet element between the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber may have a bottleneck.
  • the constriction may be formed by a reduction in the height of at least one of the two chambers and / or a reduction in the width of at least one chamber.
  • the flow rectifier is arranged in the region of the constriction between the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber.
  • the brake elements can, since the chamber is constructed as a whole flat, extend between the bottom and the ceiling of the jet outlet chamber.
  • the brake elements may be pins that are circular in cross-section.
  • the brake elements may be arranged in at least one row, wherein the row is transverse to the flow direction, that is approximately parallel to the slot-like outlet opening.
  • the brake elements are arranged in at least two rows, which are in turn arranged on gap. The water thus flows around the brake elements around and then meets again on a brake element, around which it flows around again.
  • a jet former is arranged downstream of the flow rectifier and / or the brake elements.
  • This can, for example, have a plurality of elongated beam shaping elements arranged side by side in the flow direction, which divide the water flow into individual regions without separating these regions from one another.
  • the edges of the water outlet from the jet outlet chamber lie in a surface which extends obliquely to the flow direction.
  • the one boundary wall of the jet outlet chamber for example the ceiling, runs in the region of the water outlet at an angle to the flow direction.
  • the course of this boundary wall arranged at an angle can, for example, be rounded, or else angled in several stages.
  • the upper edge of the water outlet is designed to be adjustable, for example pivotable or displaceable.
  • the edges of the water outlet can also be provided with soft lips, with the material being an elastomer, rubber or silicone in question.
  • the water inlet can be made perpendicular to the plane of the upper or lower boundary wall of the inlet chamber.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 show possible sanitary fittings, which can be installed and used as usual sanitary fittings, and which are intended and designed to deliver a surge jet.
  • the faucet of FIG. 1 includes a fitting housing 1, on the underside of a provided with an external thread 2 pipe 3 is attached. Through the pipe lead lines 4 for the fitting.
  • the tube 3 is inserted through an opening in a plate and provided from below with the nut shown. By twisting the nut attaching the valve to the plate.
  • an actuating element in the form of a rod 6 is present, is controlled by the pivoting of the water outlet from the valve.
  • an outlet housing 5 is attached, that the shape of a flat cuboid Plate has. For this outlet housing 5, the water should emerge, for example, from the drawing plane forward as a surge jet.
  • the faucet of FIG. 2 has a slightly more compact outlet housing 5, on the upper side of which is designed as a rod actuating element 6 is arranged. From the outlet housing 5 is to emerge from a just visible outlet opening 7, the water in the form of a surge jet.
  • FIG. 3 shows a jet outlet, the after installation in the outlet housing 5 of the sanitary fitting after FIG. 1 is determined.
  • the jet outlet element may be formed as a two-part housing, in which case, for example, the FIG. 1 represents the plan view of the cutting plane between the two parts of the housing.
  • the jet outlet element contains an inlet chamber 10, into which the water to be dispensed flows through an opening 11.
  • the jet outlet element also contains a jet outlet chamber 12, from which the water exits through an outlet opening 24 into the open air.
  • a constriction 13 is formed between the inlet chamber 10 and the jet outlet chamber 12, a constriction 13 is formed.
  • the constriction 13 is formed by reducing the width of the flow cross section.
  • a flow rectifier 14 is present. This contains a plurality of juxtaposed short partitions whose longitudinal direction in the flow direction and parallel to each other.
  • the intermediate walls extend between the bottom and the ceiling of the inlet chamber 10.
  • a calming zone is formed, in which the initially rectified water is calmed in its flow.
  • This calming zone contains two transverse to the flow direction extending rows of brake elements 15.
  • the brake elements 15 are small round pins that extend between the bottom and the ceiling of the chamber.
  • the brake elements 15 of each row are arranged equidistantly.
  • the brake elements 15 of a row are in gap with respect to the brake elements 15 of the adjacent row.
  • a jet former 16 Downstream of the calming zone, which is formed by the braking elements 15, a jet former 16 is formed, which is to divide the now calmed water into stream threads.
  • the beam former contains a plurality of beam-shaping elements 17, which are approximately drop-shaped. Their width and distance is significantly greater than the width and the distance between the brake elements 15th
  • the jet outlet chamber 12 Downstream of the beam former 16, the jet outlet chamber 12 widens by an oblique course of its side walls until they reach the water outlet 24.
  • FIG. 4 shows a partial cross section through the jet outlet element of FIG. 4 , It can be seen here that, downstream of the jet former 16, the ceiling 20 of the outlet chamber 12 approaches the floor 21, so that here the distance between floor and ceiling is reduced.
  • the actual water outlet 24 in the form of a slot-shaped opening lies in a surface which does not run perpendicular to the flow direction through the outlet chamber 12. Rather, here runs the ceiling 20 of the jet outlet chamber bent in a curved curve 22, so that the beam is also deflected downward. It is from the Orientation of the jet outlet element assumed, as they are for the sanitary fitting of FIG. 1 makes sense, where the term above and below is precisely defined by the arrangement of the valve.
  • FIG. 5 shows again a section through the jet outlet element, through the calming zone with the brake elements 15th
  • FIG. 6 now shows one of the FIG. 3 similar representation of a second jet outlet element according to the invention. While the jet outlet element of FIGS. 3 to 5 for the fitting after FIG. 1 is determined, the jet outlet element after the FIGS. 6 and 7 for the fitting after FIG. 2 thought. Also, this jet outlet element can be constructed as consisting of bottom and lid element, so that then the FIG. 6 would represent the top view of the separation point. The FIG. 6 but can also be understood as a cut.
  • the jet outlet element of FIG. 6 includes a jet inlet chamber 30, into which the water passes through a water inlet 31. This is only partially shown.
  • the jet outlet element contains a jet outlet chamber 32 from which the water can escape through a slot-shaped outlet opening. Between both chambers 30,32 a constriction 33 is present, which is formed this time by reducing the height of the chambers, ie by reducing the height of the flow cross-section. This can be one of FIG. 7 better to remove.
  • a flow rectifier 34 is arranged, which similar to the flow rectifier 14 of FIG. 3 is formed as a series of adjacent partitions.
  • the upper boundary wall of the jet outlet chamber 32 is formed in the region of the outlet opening of a flap 35 which is pivotally mounted by means of two lateral stub shafts 36.
  • the the Beam exit chamber 32 facing surface 36 of the flap 35 corresponds to the arcuate course 22 of the ceiling 20 of the jet outlet chamber 12 in the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 to 5 , How to get the FIG. 7 can take this flap 35 can be pivoted by the storage of the shaft stumps 36, thereby adjusting the surge jet can.
  • the shaft stumps 36 remote from the outer edge of the flap 35 projects beyond the jet outlet element, so that a user can touch there and can pivot the flap.
  • the upper boundary wall 37 of the jet outlet chamber is also formed so that here reduces the distance between the bottom and ceiling 37 in the flow direction.
  • FIG. 8 shows a possibility of how a change in the position of this edge can be done by a displacement of a diaphragm 40.
  • This aperture 40 is arranged in the region of the water outlet from the jet outlet chamber 32 transversely to the beam exit direction displaceable. The displacement can take place in the direction of the double arrow 41.
  • the lower end edge 42 of the aperture 40 is formed obliquely, so that when the aperture 40 is moved in the region of the outgoing beam, there is also an angling of the corresponding boundary wall of the jet outlet chamber 32.
