Description

Vorrichtung zur Zuführung von Fluiden zu einer Wanne  Device for supplying fluids to a tub
Beschreibung description
Technisches Gebiet der Erfindung Technical field of the invention
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Zuführung von Fluiden zu einer Wanne nach Anspruch 1. The invention relates to a device for supplying fluids to a tub according to claim 1.
Stand der Technik State of the art
In der Technik sind sogenannte Whirlpools bekannt. Im Wannenboden eines solchen Whirlpools sind Düsen vorgesehen, durch die mittels eines sich un- terhalb des Wannenbodens befindenden Rohrleitungssystems ein Fluid in Form von Luft und/oder Wasser in die Wanne hineingedrückt werden kann. Dieses Rohrleitungssystem muss der jeweiligen Wannenform angepasst werden, so dass insbesondere dann, wenn eine spezielle Wannenform in nur geringen Stückzahlen hergestellt wird, der Fertigungsaufwand sehr hoch ist, was zu einem entsprechend hohen Preis führt. So-called whirlpools are known in the art. Nozzles are provided in the tub floor of such a whirlpool, through which a fluid in the form of air and / or water can be pressed into the tub by means of a piping system located below the tub floor. This piping system has to be adapted to the particular tub shape, so that especially when a special tub shape is manufactured in small quantities, the manufacturing effort is very high, which leads to a correspondingly high price.
Gegenstand der Erfindung Subject of the invention
Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine Vorrichtung zu schaf- fen, mit deren Hilfe Fluide einer Wanne zugeführt werden können, und die sich leicht an eine individuelle Wannenform anpassen lässt. The object of the present invention is to create a device with the aid of which fluids can be supplied to a tub and which can be easily adapted to an individual tub shape.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. This object is achieved by a device with the features of claim 1.
Die Grundidee der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Grundkörper, welcher die Düsen trägt, vollständig unterhalb des Wannenbodens anzuordnen, wobei dieser Grundkörper für eine Vielzahl von Wannen die gleiche Form haben kann. Der Grundkörper kann hierbei im den Wannenboden abstützenden Material, beispielsweise Styropor aufgenommen sein. An diesem Grundkörper sind beweglich eine Mehrzahl von Düsenelementen angeordnet, die durch geeignete Bohrungen im Boden der Wanne in diese hineinragen. Der Grundkörper weist einen Hohlraum auf, mit dem die Düsenelemente in Verbindung stehen und von dem aus sie mit dem gewünschten Fluid, also mit Wasser und/oder mit Luft versorgt werden. Die Beweglichkeit der Düsenelemente bezüglich des Grundkörpers wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Oberseite des Grundkörpers Bohrungen aufweist, in denen jeweils ein Teil eines Düsenelements, nämlich der Düsenfuß, liegt. Der Düsenfuß ist hierzu zumindest abschnittsweise konvex, insbesondere kugelförmig, ausgebildet, so dass er in einem gewissen Winkelbereich in die gewünschte Richtung orientiert werden kann. Der Düsenfuß ist mit einem Düsenkopf verbunden, der wiederum im montierten Zustand mit der Wanne, insbesondere mit dem Wannenboden verbunden ist. The basic idea of the invention is to arrange a base body, which carries the nozzles, completely underneath the tub base, whereby this basic body can have the same shape for a large number of tubs. The base body can be accommodated in the material supporting the trough base, for example polystyrene. A plurality of nozzle elements are movably arranged on this base body and project into the tub through suitable bores in the bottom thereof. The base body has a cavity with which the nozzle elements are connected and from which they are supplied with the desired fluid, that is to say with water and / or with air. The mobility of the nozzle elements with respect to the base body is achieved in that the upper side of the base body has bores, in each of which a part of a nozzle element, namely the nozzle base, lies. For this purpose, the nozzle base is at least partially convex, in particular spherical, so that it can be oriented in the desired direction within a certain angular range. The nozzle base is connected to a nozzle head, which in turn is connected to the tub, in particular to the tub bottom, in the assembled state.
Vorzugsweise sind Düsenfuß und Düsenkopf mittels eines Düsenhalses verbunden, dessen Länge einstellbar ist. The nozzle base and nozzle head are preferably connected by means of a nozzle neck, the length of which is adjustable.
Die Erfindung wird nun anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Hierbei zeigen: The invention will now be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. Here show:

Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsformen Figur 1 zeigt einen Grundkörper 10 in einer Draufsicht, Figur 2 zeigt einen Schnitt entlang der Linie A-A durch Figur 1. Durch den starren Grundkörper erstrecken sich erste Kanäle 14 und zweite Kanäle 16, wobei erste Kanäle 14 und zweite Kanäle 16 senkrecht zueinander stehen und in einer Ebene liegen. Hierdurch kreuzen sich erste und zweite Kanäle, so dass sie alle mit- telbar oder unmittelbar miteinander verbunden sind und ein Hohlraum im Grundkörper entsteht. Dort, wo die Kanäle 14,16 aus dem Grundkörper austreten, also an den Seitenwänden des Grundkörpers, befinden sich Anschlüsse für Leitungen (nicht dargestellt), durch diese nicht dargestellten Leitungen kann dem Hohlraum Luft oder Wasser oder beides zugeführt wer- den. DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a top view of a base body 10, FIG. 2 shows a section along the line AA through FIG. 1. First channels 14 and second channels 16 extend through the rigid base body, first channels 14 and second channels 16 being perpendicular to one another stand and lie on one level. As a result, the first and second channels intersect, so that they are all directly or indirectly connected to one another and a cavity is formed in the base body. Where the channels 14, 16 emerge from the base body, that is to say on the side walls of the base body, there are connections for lines (not shown). Air or water or both can be supplied to the cavity through these lines, not shown.
Dort, wo sich jeweils ein erster Kanal 14 und ein zweiter Kanal 16 schneidet, ist in der Oberseite 10a des Grundkörpers 10 eine konische Bohrung 12 angeordnet, die bis in die sich kreuzenden Kanäle reicht. Where a first channel 14 and a second channel 16 intersect, a conical bore 12 is arranged in the top 10a of the base body 10, which extends into the intersecting channels.
In jede dieser Bohrung wird ein Düsenelement 30 eingesetzt, wie es in Figur 3 dargestellt ist. Das Düsenelement 30 ist aus drei Bauteilen aufgebaut, nämlich aus der Kugel 32, durch die sich die Gewindebohrung 32a erstreckt, dem in die Gewindebohrung 32a eingeschraubten Gewinderohr 35, welches an seinem oberen Ende einen Flansch 36 trägt und dem Abschlusselement 37, welches aus einer Scheibe 37a und einem Einsteckrohr 37b besteht, welches in das Gewinderohr 35 eingesteckt ist. Der unterste Punkt des Düsenelementes 30 ist die Einlassöffnung E, am obersten Punkt des Düsenelementes 30 befindet sich die Auslassöffnung A. Somit besteht das in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aus drei Elementen aufgebaute Düsenelement 30 aus drei Abschnitten, nämlich dem Düsenfuß F, dem Düsenkopf K und dem Düsenfuß und Düsenkopf verbindenden Düsenhals H. Die Länge dieses Düsenhalses kann durch Ein- und Ausschrauben des Gewinderohres 35 in die Gewindebohrung 32a verändert werden. Je nach Ein- schraubtiefe des Gewinderohres 35 wird die Einlassöffnung E durch die untere Stirnseite dieses Gewinderohres 35 oder durch den unteren Austrittspunkt der Gewindebohrung 32a gebildet. Der Düsenkopf K wird durch den Flansch 36 und die Scheibe 37 gebildet. Die Figur 4 zeigt den Grundkörper 10 aus Figur 2, wobei in die konischen Bohrungen 12 jeweils ein Düsenelement 30 eingesetzt ist. Man sieht, dass jede Einlassöffnungen E in Kontakt mit je zwei Kanälen 14/16 steht, so dass Fluide, die in die Kanäle 14/16 gepresst werden, in die Eintrittsöffnungen E eintreten und so durch die Düsenelemente zu den Austrittsöffnungen geför- dert werden. Aufgrund der konkaven Form der Düsenfüße können die Düsenelemente 30 in den konischen Bohrungen 12 in einem gewissen Winkelbereich in zwei Richtungen verschwenkt werden, wobei der Kontakt zwischen Einlassöffnungen E und Kanälen erhalten bleibt. Figur 5 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung des Grundkörpers 10 mit aufgesetzten Düsenelementen 30 und einem mittels Flanschschrauben 19 auf die Oberseite 10a des Grundkörpers aufgeschraubten Pressflansch 18. Dieser Pressflansch 18 erstreckt sich entlang der Kante der Oberseite 10a und dient, wie später beschrieben, der wasserdichten Verbindung zwischen Grundkörper und einer Flüssigfolie. Die Auflagefläche des Pressflansches 18 auf der Oberseite 10a definiert die Abdichtungsebene. Wie man anhand Figur 6 sieht, wird nach Aufsetzen der Düsenelemente 30 eine Halteplatte 20 mit Schrauben 25 auf den Grundkörper 10 aufgeschraubt. Hierbei weist die Halteplatte 20 Durchbrechungen 22 auf, durch die sich jeweils ein oberer Abschnitt der Kugeln 32 der Düsenelemente 30 erstreckt. Die Düsenelemente 30 können somit in die gewünschte Winkelposition verschwenkt und durch die Halteplatte 20 arretiert werden. Sollen weniger Düsenelemente verbaut werden, als Bohrungen 12 vorhanden sind, können die überzähligen Bohrungen durch "Blindkugeln" abgedichtet werden. An einer solche Blindkugel kann auch ein Hals angeordnet sein, dessen Ende ein Lampenelement und/oder ein Schalterelement trägt, welches in eingebautem Zustand (siehe unten) genau wie ein Düsenkopf in die Wanne hineinragt. A nozzle element 30, as shown in FIG. 3, is inserted into each of these holes. The nozzle element 30 is composed of three components, namely the ball 32 through which the threaded bore 32a extends, the threaded tube 35 screwed into the threaded bore 32a, which carries a flange 36 at its upper end, and the end element 37, which consists of a disk 37a and an insertion tube 37b, which is inserted into the threaded tube 35. The lowest point of the nozzle element 30 is the inlet opening E, at the uppermost point of the nozzle element 30 there is the outlet opening A. Thus, the nozzle element 30 constructed in this exemplary embodiment from three elements consists of three sections, namely the nozzle foot F, the nozzle head K and the nozzle foot and nozzle head connecting nozzle neck H. The length of this nozzle neck can be changed by screwing the threaded tube 35 into and out of the threaded bore 32a. Depending on the screw-in depth of the threaded tube 35, the inlet opening E is formed by the lower end face of this threaded tube 35 or by the lower exit point of the threaded bore 32a. The nozzle head K is formed by the flange 36 and the disc 37. FIG. 4 shows the base body 10 from FIG. 2, a nozzle element 30 being inserted in each of the conical bores 12. It can be seen that each inlet opening E is in contact with two channels 14/16, so that fluids which are pressed into the channels 14/16 enter the inlet openings E and are thus conveyed through the nozzle elements to the outlet openings. Due to the concave shape of the nozzle feet, the nozzle elements 30 can be pivoted in the conical bores 12 in a certain angular range in two directions, the contact between inlet openings E and channels being maintained. FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the base body 10 with attached nozzle elements 30 and a press flange 18 screwed onto the top 10a of the base body by means of flange screws 19. This press flange 18 extends along the edge of the top side 10a and serves, as described later, for the watertight connection between Body and a liquid film. The contact surface of the press flange 18 on the top 10a defines the sealing plane. As can be seen from FIG. 6, after the nozzle elements 30 have been put on, a holding plate 20 is screwed onto the base body 10 with screws 25. Here, the holding plate 20 has openings 22, through which an upper section of the balls 32 of the nozzle elements 30 extends. The nozzle elements 30 can thus be pivoted into the desired angular position and locked by the holding plate 20. If fewer nozzle elements are to be installed than there are bores 12, the excess bores can be sealed off by means of “blind balls”. A neck can also be arranged on such a blind ball, the end of which carries a lamp element and / or a switch element which, in the installed state (see below), projects into the tub exactly like a nozzle head.
Figur 7 zeigt den eingebauten Zustand der Vorrichtung. Hierbei befindet sich der Grundkörper 10 unterhalb eines Wannenbodens W und die Düsenhälse H erstrecken sich durch einen sich zwischen Wannenboden W und Grundkörper 10 befindenden Zwischenraum Z. Grundkörper 10 und Wannenboden W sind über die Flüssigfolie 40, die zwischen Oberfläche 10a und Pressflansch verpresst ist, miteinander verbunden, so dass der Zwischenraum Z zum Nassbereich gehören kann. Im Wannenboden W sind Löcher angeord- net, durch die durch die Düsenelemente 30 kommendes Fluid ins Innere der Wanne gelangt. Die Flansche 36 der Düsenelemente 30 liegen außen am Wannenboden an, während sich die Scheiben 37a auf der Innenseite des Wannenbodens befinden. Durch die Verschwenkbarkeit der Düsenfüße und die Einstellbarkeit der Länge der Düsenhälse, lässt sich die Vorrichtung einer Vielzahl von Formen von Wannenböden anpassen, so dass für eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Wannen baugleiche Vorrichtungen verwendet werden können. Bezugszeichenliste Figure 7 shows the installed state of the device. Here, the base body 10 is located below a trough base W and the nozzle necks H extend through an intermediate space Z located between the trough base W and the base body 10 connected so that the space Z can belong to the wet area. Holes are arranged in the tub floor W through which fluid coming through the nozzle elements 30 reaches the interior of the tub. The flanges 36 of the nozzle elements 30 rest on the outside of the tub floor, while the disks 37a are located on the inside of the tub floor. Due to the pivotability of the nozzle feet and the adjustability of the length of the nozzle necks, the device can be adapted to a multiplicity of shapes of trough bottoms, so that devices of the same design can be used for a large number of different troughs.
