Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Erfassung des Wasserstandes in einem mit einer Ablaufgarnitur versehenen sanitären Becken, insbesondere einem Waschbecken.The invention relates to a device for detecting the water level in a provided with a drain set sanitary basin, in particular a sink.

Zur Vermeidung eines ungewollten Wasserüberlaufs beim Befüllen sanitärer Becken, wie z.B. Waschbecken, Badewannen oder Duschwannen, sind solche Becken üblicherweise mit einer Überlauföffnung und einem daran angeordneten Überlaufkanal versehen. Der Überlaufkanal lässt sich im allgemeinen nur schwierig reinigen und weist daher meist bakterielle Ablagerungen auf.To avoid unwanted water overflow when filling sanitary basins, such as e.g. Washbasins, bathtubs or shower trays, such basins are usually provided with an overflow opening and an overflow channel arranged thereon. The overflow channel is generally difficult to clean and therefore usually has bacterial deposits.

Auch kommt es zum Beispiel durch Haare oder Essenreste häufig zu einer ablagerungsbedingten Verengung oder Verstopfung in einer Ablaufleitung, an der ein sanitäres Becken angeschlossen ist. In solchen Fällen kann der an die verengte bzw. verstopfte Ablaufleitung angeschlossene Überlaufkanal seine Funktion nicht erfüllen.Also, it is for example due to hair or food remains often to a deposition-related constriction or obstruction in a drain line to which a sanitary basin is connected. In such cases, the overflow channel connected to the constricted drain line can not fulfill its function.

Es besteht daher Bedarf nach einer alternativen Lösung zu herkömmlichen Überlaufkanälen an sanitären Becken.There is therefore a need for an alternative solution to conventional overflow channels on sanitary basins.

Eine Möglichkeit zur Vermeidung eines ungewollten Wasserüberlaufs beim Befüllen sanitärer Becken besteht in der Erfassung und Reglung des Wasserstandes im Becken mittels einer geeigneten Messeinrichtung, die auf eine Steuereinrichtung zur Regelung des Wasserstandes im sanitären Becken oder auf eine ein Überschreiten eines bestimmten Wasserstandes signalisierende Signaleinrichtung einwirkt.One way to avoid an unwanted water overflow when filling sanitary basins is in the detection and control of the water level in the basin by means of a suitable measuring device, which acts on a control device for controlling the water level in the sanitary basin or on a signal level exceeding a certain water level signaling device.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Erfassung des Wasserstandes in einem mit einer Ablaufgarnitur versehenen sanitären Becken bereitzustellen, die zur Abfrage des hydrostatischen Wasserstandes möglichst einfach, ohne in dem sanitären Becken eine zusätzliche Öffnung vorsehen zu müssen, eine hydraulische Verbindung zum Füllraum des sanitären Beckens bietet.The present invention has for its object to provide a device for detecting the water level in a provided with a drain fitting sanitary basin as simple as possible to query the hydrostatic water level without having to provide an additional opening in the sanitary basin, a hydraulic connection to the filling the sanitary basin offers.

The four holes 42 are arranged distributed uniformly over the circumference of the clamp body 10.

Der Innendurchmesser des Adapters 30 sowie der Innendurchmesser des oberen Dichtungsringes 29 sind größer gewählt als der dort jeweils gegenüberliegende Außendurchmesser des Klemmkörpers 10. Insbesondere weist der Klemmkörper 10 an seinem Außenumfang einen umlaufenden Absatz 43 bzw. eine umlaufende Ringnut auf, an dem bzw. der die Bohrungen 42 münden. Zwischen dem Klemmkörper 10 und dem zylindrischen Mittelsteg 32 des Adapters 30 ist somit ein Ringraum 44 vorhanden, der zusammen mit den Bohrungen 42 eine hydraulische Verbindung vom sanitären Becken zum Rohrstutzen 31 definiert.The inner diameter of the adapter 30 and the inner diameter of the upper sealing ring 29 are selected to be larger than the respective outer diameter of the clamping body 10. In particular, the clamping body 10 has on its outer circumference a peripheral shoulder 43 and a circumferential annular groove, on which or the Holes 42 open. Between the clamping body 10 and the cylindrical central web 32 of the adapter 30 thus an annular space 44 is present, which defines a hydraulic connection from the sanitary basin to the pipe socket 31 together with the holes 42.

In Fig. 5 ist ein sanitäres Waschbecken 45 skizziert, das mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung in Kombination mit mindestens einer Steuereinrichtung 46, 47 zur Steuerung eines Wasserzulaufventils 48 und/oder Wasserablaufventils 49 versehen ist.In Fig. 5 a sanitary sink 45 is sketched, which is provided with a device according to the invention in combination with at least one control device 46, 47 for controlling a water supply valve 48 and / or water drain valve 49.

An der Auslauföffnung des Waschbeckens 45 ist eine Ablaufgarnitur 50 mit Geruchverschluss montiert. Die Ablaufgarnitur 50 ist mit einem Klemmkörper gemäß Fig. 3 sowie einem ringförmigen Adapter 30 gemäß Fig. 4 ausgestattet. An dem Stutzen 31 des Adapters 30 ist über einen Schlauch 51 oder eine Rohrleitung eine Messeinrichtung 52 angeschlossen, die den hydrostatischen Wasserstand im Becken 45 oder eine dazu proportionale Messgröße erfasst. Die Messeinrichtung 52 wirkt auf mindestens eine Steuereinrichtung 46, 47 ein, mit welcher der Wasserstand im sanitären Becken geregelt wird. In diesem Zusammenhang sind verschiedene Ausgestaltungen möglich. Beispielsweise kann eine geeignete Steuereinrichtung 46, beispielsweise ein Magnetschalter oder Motor, bei Erreichen eines bestimmten Wasserstandes in dem Waschbecken 45 ein dem Becken zugeordnetes Wasserzulaufventil 48 schließen.At the outlet opening of the washbasin 45 a waste set 50 is mounted with odor trap. The drain fitting 50 is equipped with a clamping body according to FIG. 3 and an annular adapter 30 according to FIG. 4. At the nozzle 31 of the adapter 30 is connected via a Hose 51 or a pipe connected to a measuring device 52, which detects the hydrostatic water level in the basin 45 or a proportional thereto measure. The measuring device 52 acts on at least one control device 46, 47, with which the water level is controlled in the sanitary basin. In this context, various embodiments are possible. For example, a suitable control device 46, for example a magnetic switch or motor, upon reaching a certain water level in the wash basin 45, close a water inlet valve 48 assigned to the basin.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann eine geeignete Steuereinrichtung 47, beispielsweise wiederum ein Magnetschalter oder Motor, bei Erreichen eines bestimmten Wasserstandes in dem Waschbecken 45 ein Verschlusselement 49 der Ablaufgarnitur 50 öffnen.Alternatively or additionally, a suitable control device 47, for example, once again a magnetic switch or motor, upon reaching a certain water level in the wash basin 45, open a closure element 49 of the drain fitting 50.

Ferner ist in Fig. 5 die Option dargestellt, dass die Messeinrichtung 52 mit einer Signaleinrichtung 53, vorzugsweise einer akustischen Signaleinrichtung versehen ist und bei Überschreiten eines bestimmten Wasserstandes im Waschbecken 45 die Signaleinrichtung 53 auslöst.Furthermore, the option is shown in FIG. 5 that the measuring device 52 is provided with a signaling device 53, preferably an acoustic signaling device, and triggers the signaling device 53 when a certain water level in the wash basin 45 is exceeded.

Die Erfindung ist in ihrer Ausführung nicht auf die vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Vielmehr sind verschiedene Varianten möglich, die auch bei abweichender Gestaltung von dem in den beiliegenden Ansprüchen angegebenen Erfindungsgedanken Gebrauch machen. So kann der Rohrstutzen 31 auch ohne einen radialen Vorsprung 35, d.h. mit zylindrisch glatter Mantelfläche ausgebildet werden. Anstelle eines Schlauches 51 kann auch ein Rohr auf den Rohrstutzen 31 aufgesteckt oder aufgeklebt werden. Wichtig ist, dass die Verbindung von Rohrstutzen 31 und Rohr bzw. Schlauch wasserdicht ist. Alle bekannten wasserdichten Verbindungen von rohrähnlichen Elementen mit rohrähnlichen Stutzen sind insoweit denkbar.The invention is not limited in its execution to the embodiments described above. Rather, different variants are possible, which make use of the idea of the invention given in the appended claims, even if they deviate. Thus, the pipe socket 31 can also be formed without a radial projection 35, ie with a smooth cylindrical surface. Instead of a hose 51, a pipe can also be plugged or glued onto the pipe socket 31. The important thing is that the connection of pipe socket 31 and pipe or hose is waterproof. All known watertight connections of pipe-like elements with pipe-like nozzles are conceivable in this respect.
