Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary fitting according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned is from the EP 0 275 084 A2 known.
  • a water supply pipe opens into a tubular projection in the interior of the wall mounted as a sanitary fitting.
  • the water flows into a space formed as an overflow chamber, which opens to the front through a slit-like water spout into the open air. At high flow rates, this can lead to vortex formation in the water outlet.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned in such a way that an effective jet pattern optimization is achieved, in particular turbulence in the water outlet can be reduced and yet a high water flow can be achieved.
  • the water flow is thus first braked in the cylindrical hollow body.
  • the calmed water flows into the moderator room, where it is evenly distributed.
  • the water then flows laminar into the water outlet.
  • the moderator room is ring-shaped, easy to manufacture and allows a symmetrical water flow.
  • all Wasseraustrittsöffnurzgen are arranged on a side remote from the water outlet side of the hollow body. This has the advantage that water can not flow on the shortest route directly from the water outlet openings of the hollow body to the outlet opening and the water outlet. Instead, the moderator room must first fill before water can flow into the outlet opening. This leads to a significant water calming. Characterized in that the hollow body is surrounded by a sieve, The flow rate of the water is reduced even more.
  • Another water calming is achieved when the water outlet openings are arranged on one of the outlet opening diametrically opposite side of the hollow body.
  • the sieve surrounding the hollow body can advantageously be a ring sieve.
  • At least one water outlet opening can be technically easily realized by a slot or a hole.
  • the main exit direction for the outlet opening can be influenced by varying the number and / or the position and / or the size of the water outlet openings.
  • They can be arranged in a vertical region of the hollow body, so that the water can flow evenly at the vertical region of the hollow body to the bottom of the moderator room.
  • the hollow body may be connected at least with a water connection piece, to which the water supply line, which in particular has a small cross-section, can be connected. Due to the small cross section of the water supply a quick water supply is achieved, for example, from a mixing unit to the water outlet.
  • the water can flow evenly in the water outlet, and in particular form no turbulence, the water outlet moderator can have a particular wedge-shaped outlet bottom body in the water outlet.
  • the water outlet housing may have a closable opening for introducing or removing the water outlet moderator, by means of which the water outlet moderator can be removed for cleaning purposes, for example.
  • the moderator housing in its upper end face an opening, in particular a cylinder opening, have, through which the hollow body and optionally the screen are inserted or removed.
  • the moderator housing may have an opening in its end face facing the water outlet, through which opening the hollow body and possibly the sieve can be introduced or removed.
  • a slender construction is made possible when the water inlet opening extends axially to an axis of the hollow body.
  • the outlet opening is an outlet channel, so that a turbulence-free as possible flow can be realized.
  • FIG. 1 a sanitary fitting provided overall with the reference numeral 1 is partially shown in section.
  • the sanitary fitting 1 comprises a water outlet housing 2 with a water outlet 3, in the in FIG. 1 from below a water supply line 4 leads from a mixing unit, not shown.
