Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for automatic flushing of water pipes, with at least one connected to a water pipe valve and a controller, with which the valve for. Rinse the water pipe is opened and closed.
  • Contamination of the water by stagnation can be avoided by regularly flushing the water supply system with a so-called hygiene flush.
  • the taps of the pipe system can be periodically opened and closed by a person. Since this is relatively time-consuming and appropriate personnel is required, devices have been proposed with which piping systems can be flushed automatically by means of a control.
  • Such a device discloses the WO 2005/124494 ,
  • This device has a valve which is connected to the water pipe to be flushed automatically and which has an outlet.
  • This valve is automatically opened and closed by the controller for flushing the water supply system.
  • the valve is, for example, mounted upstream in the vicinity of a faucet or shower head.
  • the installation of such devices is relatively expensive, especially in larger buildings where many fittings and the like are present.
  • An automatic opening and closing can be disturbing, for example in hotels.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned.
  • the object is achieved in a generic device in that it is designed as a structural unit and has a housing on which the at least one valve and an outlet are arranged.
  • the housing with the valve and the outlet can be produced as a compact unit and can be easily mounted.
  • Such a device can be fastened, for example, in a building to a mounting frame.
  • the device can for example be mounted flush, so that it is not visible from the outside substantially and an operation disturbs less
  • the housing has an outlet in a bottom wall. This outlet leads in particular via a siphon into a disposal line. This makes a particularly simple and secure connection possible.
  • the housing has means for its attachment.
  • the housing can thus be mounted on a plate, for example, which in turn can be fastened to a frame, for example a mounting frame. It is also conceivable direct attachment of the housing to a mounting frame.
  • the attachment can be similar, as is known in cisterns.
  • the housing is box-shaped.
  • a housing can be produced in a particularly cost-effective manner from plastic.
  • such a housing can be made by blow molding.
  • the at least one valve or a plurality of valves can be safely accommodated in this box.
  • the outlet may be formed, for example, on a bottom wall.
  • a siphon may be formed on the bottom wall.
  • the housing has a revision opening on a front side.
  • the device can then be mounted flush-mounted, for example.
  • a revision can be done through the inspection opening, as is known per se for flush-mounted cisterns.
  • the housing has at least one connection means for connecting a water pipe to be flushed.
  • the connection means consists for example of a fitting with an external thread to which the line to be flushed can be connected.
  • the connection means are preferably fixedly arranged on a wall of the housing.
  • the at least one valve is preferably disposed within the housing. During assembly then only the housing must be attached and at least one line to be connected.
  • the at least one valve is preferably a controllable solenoid valve.
  • the control can take place via a signal line which leads into the housing.
  • the inspection opening is closed by a removable protective plate. This allows on the one hand a simple and safe revision as well as a high protection for the valve in a flush mounting.
  • an electronic control unit for controlling the at least one valve is arranged on the protective plate.
  • the electronics are particularly secure protected and on the other hand also very easy and quickly accessible.
  • the electronics can be connected to a central controller. For example, in a building having a plurality of such devices, they may be controlled via a central controller be.
  • the valves can be connected directly or via the electronics to this central controller.
  • the invention also relates to a piping system with at least one device of the type mentioned.
  • This piping system has at least one loop or a series line, the device is arranged in such a piping system in each case at the last point of the loop or series line. For flushing such a loop or series line then only such a device is required.
  • the devices are mounted on the basis of an installation plan. As a result, in particular the number of necessary devices can be kept to a minimum.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 show the inventive device 1 in the mounted and connected state. How the particular FIG. 1 shows, the device 1 is connected to a pipeline system 2, which has a first pipe 3 and a second pipe 4.
  • the pipeline 3 is, for example, the pipeline for cold water and the pipeline 4 for hot water.
  • the lines 3 and 4 can Be series line or ring lines.
  • the device 1 is in each case at a last point of the line.
  • this has a housing 13 which has opposite side walls 13c, in which on the outside four grooves 12 are arranged. Each groove receives a holder 11, which is connected for example with a plug connection with a mounting bracket 10.
  • These mounting brackets 10 are screwed onto a plate 8, for example a wooden plate.
  • This wooden plate 8 is fastened with fixing means 9 to side plates 7 and these in turn to a mounting frame 5 or other mounting device or directly to a building wall.
  • the fastening means 9 are designed, for example, as clamps or the like.
  • the plate 8 preferably extends in a vertical plane.
  • the angle 10 and holder 11 allow a very simple installation of the device. 1
  • the housing 13 is box-shaped, for example, similar to a cistern and is preferably made of plastic, for example by blow molding.
  • a top wall 13b has two openings 20, on which a connecting means 18 and 19 is arranged.
  • These connection means 18 and 19 are in particular fittings that pass through the openings 20 and with which the pipes 3 and 4 are each connected to a valve 22 and 21 respectively.
  • the connection can be made in the usual way via a screw or press connection.
  • the valves 21 and 22 are disposed within the housing 13 and in particular controllable solenoid valves. They each have an outlet 23 and 24, in particular the FIG. 1 shows. If the valve 21 is open, water flows out of the pipeline 4 through the outlet 23 into the housing 13. Accordingly, when the valve 22 is open, water flows from the pipeline 3 into the housing 13. The water flowing out of the outlet 23 or 24 flows freely down to a funnel-shaped opening 14 and through this into a siphon 15 and finally via a nozzle 16 in a disposal line, not shown here, the siphon 15 may be provided on the outside with an insulation 17, for example, a condensation insulation. Preferably, the siphon 15 is integrally formed on the housing 13.
