Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water box for a toilet, in particular a toilet or urinal, comprising a container for storing water, having an inlet for introducing the water and an outlet opening having an outlet for discharging the water into the toilet bowl during a rinsing process the drain in the lower part of the container is connected thereto, and means for protection against contamination of the water by toilet water contained in the toilet bowl, wherein the container is a pressure vessel having a valve in the region of the drain, which can be opened during the flushing process , wherein the pressure vessel can be acted upon by a pressure which is suitable for directing the water into the toilet bowl without the use of a gradient through the outlet opening of the drain, wherein the pressure vessel has a membrane and wherein an inlet valve is provided in the region of the inlet.
  • the invention relates to a toilet with a corresponding water tank. Such a water tank and a corresponding toilet are from the US 4,115,883 as well as the CH 672 342 A5 known.
  • Water boxes also called cisterns, which must have neither rigid walls, nor a typical box shape, are known for the storage of water, which is needed for the flushing of a toilet, especially a toilet or urinal.
  • Usually water tanks are mounted above the toilet bowl on the wall.
  • Such an assembly is very simple and therefore inexpensive, but has the disadvantage of a visible water box.
  • a more visually appealing solution offers the flush mounting or mounting under a separate stand wall, but which is much more expensive and thus more expensive.
  • a flush mounting is not readily afterwards, for example, in the renovation of a bathroom, possible.
  • a free outlet for example, is defined in the standard DIN EN 1717.
  • a free spout is then a continuously unobstructed free flow path, either outside or inside the supplied apparatus or container between the inlet-side outlet opening of the drinking water installation and the process-side process fluid measured at maximum operating water level.
  • a free spout prevents the backflow of contaminated liquid into the drinking water installation, thus preventing in the present case the backflow of the water used during the flushing process into the fresh water piping system. Since the free outlet is provided according to the prior art between the naturally pressurized fresh water system and the water tank and seen in the flow direction behind the free outlet atmospheric pressure, the water in the water tank must be pressurized again to from the water tank of the water tank in the To get toilet bowl.
  • the present invention seeks to further develop the above-mentioned water tank to the effect that in a structurally simpler and safer way the water pressure of the fresh water line for the pressurization of the container is made usable.
  • the previously derived and indicated object is achieved in a water tank of the type mentioned above in that the protective device is arranged in the flow direction in front of the container and that in the inlet a membrane is provided.
  • the container for storing the water is a pressure vessel which undergoes pressurization by providing a diaphragm, preferably in a side wall of the pressure vessel.
  • a membrane in the inlet of the pressure vessel which may be identical to the membrane of the pressure vessel, bulges out at overpressure in the fresh water line system, whereby the membrane of the pressure vessel undergoes a curvature inward.
  • the pressure is increased in the otherwise closed pressure vessel.
  • a single inlet valve or two separate valves may be provided, depending on whether a free outlet is realized in the region of the inlet or not.
  • the one or more valves in the region of the inlet can be controlled automatically, for example by means of a float, the at Low water opens the valve (s) and closes when the water tank is full.
  • the membrane in the pressure vessel and the membrane in the inlet to two separate membranes, which interact with each other.
  • the two membranes can also be different in size, whereby a transmission ratio between the two membranes can be adjusted. This allows different pressures in the inlet on the one hand and in the pressure vessel on the other hand realize.
  • the water tank described above is advantageously at least partially, preferably completely, integrated into the toilet, ie in the area below the toilet bowl. This is a particularly aesthetic and space saving solution.
  • the previously derived and indicated object is achieved in a toilet with a water tank, characterized in that the water tank is formed as described above.
  • Fig. 1 shows for better understanding of the invention, an embodiment of a toilet with a water box, which is not the subject of the invention, wherein the water tank a container 1 for storing water with an inlet (not shown) for introducing the water and a discharge opening 2 having a drain third Furthermore, a protective device 5 is provided, which prevents that used for rinsing water can flow through the outlet 3 back into the water tank 1.
  • the protective device 5 is formed in the present case by a pipe interrupter type A1 with permanent connection to the atmosphere according to DIN EN 1717.
  • the pipe breaker creates an air gap between the outlet opening 2 and the toilet bowl. 4
  • the water in the pressure vessel 1 has, as between the not shown fresh water pipe system and the water tank not, as is common in the prior art, a free outlet is realized, the same water pressure, as the water in the fresh water pipe system. In this way it is possible, upon actuation of the flush, i. when opening the valve 6 at the highest point of the water box, even without the presence of a gap between the water tank and toilet bowl to achieve a sufficient flushing effect.
  • Fig. 2 indicates one Fig. 1 alternative embodiment, which differs by the type of protection device 5.
  • the protective device is formed by an unhindered free outlet according to DIN EN 1717, wherein the free outlet has an outlet opening 7, which is identical to the outlet opening 2 of the drain 3, and an inlet opening 8.
  • the inlet opening 8 of the free outlet is in present case, in order to increase the flow velocity of the rinsing water, funnel-shaped. Otherwise, the functioning of the in Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further variant, which also differs by the protection device 5 of the two variants described above.
  • the protection device 5 is formed by a free outlet with injector.
  • the outlet opening 7 of the free outlet is nozzle-shaped, in order to increase the flow velocity of the water.
  • the further mode of operation is to the description of in Fig. 1 referenced embodiment.
  • Fig. 4 is yet another embodiment of a water tank shown, which also is not the subject of the invention, but only for a better understanding of the invention.
  • the water tank is also in this case from a water tank 1 with a corresponding outlet 3, which leads to a toilet bowl (not shown).
  • the water tank 1 is connected via a valve 6, which is actuated in the flushing, with a compressed air tank 9, which is acted upon by a pump 10 with air pressure.
  • the pump 10 is driven by the water in the water pipe 11 and thereby compressed, without additional energy required, from the environment via the line 12 sucked air.
  • Fig. 4 illustrated case the means 5 for protection against contamination of the water upstream of the water box.
  • the protective device 5 consists of a free outlet, which has a valve 13 in the region of the outlet opening and a valve 14 in the region of the inlet opening. Finally, a float 15 is provided which is in operative connection with the valve 14.
  • Fig. 5 shows an embodiment of a water tank according to the present invention, in which also a free outlet is realized as a protective device 5, which is connected upstream of the water box.
  • a free outlet is realized as a protective device 5, which is connected upstream of the water box.
  • a pressure vessel In contrast to Fig. 4 However, it is in the present water tank 1 is a pressure vessel.
  • the water tank 1 has in its left side wall on a membrane 16, which cooperates with a membrane 17 in the inlet of the channel box. Also in this case, a float 15 for controlling the inlet via two valves 13 and 14 is provided.
  • the membrane 17 expands to equalize the pressure from. Since the membrane 17 acts directly on the membrane 16, the volume in the pressure vessel 1 is reduced with increasing curvature of the membrane 17 via the membrane 16, which in turn increases the pressure in the pressure vessel 1.
