Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuating device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • An actuator of this type is known in the art by the DE 20018835 U known. This is intended for a so-called dual-flush and has a feeler with two buttons. One of these buttons is intended for a full flush and the other for a partial flush.
  • a weight is lifted with the closure body of an outlet valve, which loads the closure body after opening the valve and thus prematurely moves it down onto the valve seat.
  • full flushing it is rinsed, for example, with 6 l of water and with partial rinsing with 3 l of water.
  • the trigger member consists of two parts, each connected to a lever. If one of these levers pivoted, only the closure body is raised. When pivoting the other lever of the closure body and the weight are raised.
  • a disadvantage of this actuator that the two keys have a relatively small touch surface. For Spülauslect thus only a partial area of the entire tactile surface is available.
  • the EP 1 593 787 A discloses an actuator having a button formed as a rocker. When the key is swiveled in one direction, a purging with a first purging amount and when panning the key in the other direction, a purging with a second purging amount is triggered.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an actuator of the type mentioned, which is more ergonomic and yet structurally relatively easy to produce.
  • the actuator should still be reliable and suitable for example for ceramic cisterns.
  • the object is achieved in a generic actuator in that the key is pivotally mounted in the housing and pivotally for triggering the flushing with the first flushing in a first direction and downwardly movable and to trigger the flushing with the second flushing in a different direction and is movable downwards.
  • the movement of the button in a rinsing release is thus a combination of a pivoting movement and a linear movement.
  • the key is first pivoted in one direction or the other and then moved down. Since a second key is not required, the entire tactile surface is available for actuation. For selecting the flushing quantity, only the pivoting direction must therefore be determined here. Since the key is also moved down, the power transmission to the outlet valve as known per se is possible. For example, such a power transmission via lever or via a remote release, for example via a Bowden cable.
  • the key is pivotable about a horizontal axis.
  • the button is pivotable about this horizontal axis, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
  • the axis is preferably arranged so that it passes through the key.
  • the button is pivotally mounted in a key bearing, which is slidably mounted in the housing for triggering the flushing.
  • the key is mounted in the housing so that it is locked in the rest position without one of the above pivoting movements down, so that a flush without pivoting the button is not triggered.
  • This ensures that the key can only be moved downwards in the pivoted state. This is done constructively then especially if, according to a development of the invention, that the button has at least one cam which is substantially horizontally moved during pivoting of the key and which is guided in guide grooves on the inside of the housing so that it in a Middle position down pending, so that in this position, the flushing is not triggered.
  • the trigger member cooperates with either a first or a second plunger for flushing.
  • first plunger or the second plunger is moved with the trigger member down.
  • the movements of the two plungers can be transmitted, for example, in each case via a cable pull on the outlet valve. It is also conceivable, however, a transmission via appropriately pivotally mounted lever.
  • the stroke of the pusher member in one and the other Spülausgins may be the same. It is also conceivable execution, in which this is different in size.
  • the pusher is a separately manufactured and attached to the key and in particular welded part.
  • the key and the trigger member can also be made in one piece. The production of two parts, however, allows a more cost-effective production. If the trigger member, for example, welded with the key, so they form a unit, which simplifies installation.
  • FIG. 1 shows an actuating device 1 for an outlet valve 4, which is mounted in a passage 6 of a cistern lid 2 shown here only partially.
  • the lid 2 is for example and in particular the lid of a cistern, not further shown here, in which the outlet valve 4 is mounted.
  • the cistern is in particular one made of ceramic.
  • the actuator 1 is not necessarily mounted in the cistern lid 2, but could be mounted in a different location per se.
  • the actuating device 1 is used for lifting a closure body 30 of the outlet valve 4.
  • This closure body 30 has at a lower end a valve plate 31 which in FIG. 1 an outlet opening of a valve housing 32 closes. If the closure body 30 is raised, the valve is opened and rinse water can flow out, for example, into a toilet bowl. With the actuating device 1 can be raised with a different stroke via a cable 3 of the closure body 30. If the closure body 30 is lifted with a comparatively large stroke, the cistern is substantially completely emptied. However, when the closure body 30 is lifted with a smaller stroke, the lever 37 acts as a support and the weight 38 prematurely closes the outlet valve 4. In this case, it is flushed with a subset of the rinse water.
  • the closure body 30 is raised by means of a cable pull 3, which has two cables 16 which each lift a lever 36 of the closure body 30 via a lever 34.
  • the lever 34 is mounted in a housing 33 of the outlet valve 4 and pivotable about an axis 35 in the counterclockwise direction.
  • the transmission of the movement to the outlet valve 4 by means of a Bowden cable is but an example here. In principle, another transmission can be provided.
  • the actuating device 1 has a substantially cylindrical housing 5, which according to the FIG. 2 an upper housing part 5a and a lower housing part 5b has.
  • the upper substantially annular housing part 5a is inserted from above into the housing part 5b and locked with this not shown here latching tongues 9.
  • the lower housing part 5b has an external thread 11 onto which a nut 10 is screwed, which is applied to a bottom 39 of the lid 2 and thus the housing 5 firmly connected to the cover 2.
  • the upper housing part 5a has an example circular recess 40 in which a button 7 is mounted.
  • a button 7 is mounted.
  • FIG. 8 on the upper side, for example, a flat touch surface 8, which in the in FIG. 2 shown rest position is substantially flush with a top 41 of the upper housing part 5a.
  • the Touch surface 8 extends down a wall 42 which is spherically outwardly curved like the FIG. 8 lets recognize.
  • this wall 42 diametrically opposite two openings 28 are arranged, of which in the FIG. 8 only the one is shown.
  • the key 7 is pivotally mounted on a key bearing 12.
  • the key bearing 12 has two upwardly projecting bearing blocks 29, one of which in the FIG. 8 partially visible.
  • bearing blocks 29 protrude at an upper end, not shown here in each case in one of the openings 28 and thereby form a pivot bearing with the key 46.
  • the key 7 is limited to the key bearing 12 and the said axis 46 in one or the other direction pivotally. So that the button 7 can be pivoted in one or the other direction, the touch surface 8 has a first touch area 8a and a second touch area 8b. A marking 43 extending parallel to the pivot axis subdivides the touch surface 8 into these two touch areas 8a and 8b. If the key 7 is pressed downwards in the touch area 8a, then in the FIG. 2 press the button 7 counterclockwise in the in FIG. 3 shown pivoted position.
  • a presser member 13 is inserted from below, which has a first pusher arm 13a and a second pusher arm 13b.
  • the two arms 13a and 13b protrude from the bottom of the button 7 down.
  • the pusher member 13 is made as a separate part and preferably firmly connected to the key 7.
  • the trigger member 13 may be welded to the key 7.
  • the button 7 and the trigger member 13 may be made of plastic, for example.
  • the pusher 13 is thus moved together with the key 7. If the key 7 in the in FIG. 3 As shown, the first pusher arm 13a is engaged with an upper end 14a of a ram 14 as shown.
  • the second pusher arm 13b is not effective. If the button 7 in the other direction and thus in FIG. 2 pivoted clockwise, so passes according to the second Pusher 13b in a position in which it cooperates with an upper end 14a of a second ram 15. The other pusher arm 13a is not effective here.
  • the key bearing 12 is formed substantially annular and has a recess 44, in which in the rest position of the button 7 according to FIG. 2 the two pusher arms 13a and 13b engage with a lower end.
  • the key bearing 12 On the outside, the key bearing 12 has four guide slots 22, each in an in FIG. 6 shown guide groove 23 are guided linearly.
  • the key bearing 12 is guided in the lower housing part 5b so that it depends on the in FIG. 4 shown upper position against the retroactive force of a return spring 19 in the in FIG. 4 shown position is movable.
  • a radially inwardly projecting comb 24 is arranged between each two guide grooves 23 is according to FIG. 6 in a guide slot 25 .
  • This comb 24 thus divides the guide slot 25 into two mutually parallel areas.
  • the guide slots 25 serve to guide a respective pin 27.
  • These two pins 27 are each formed on the outside of a downwardly projecting arm 26, as the Figures 5 and 8th demonstrate.
  • On the not visible side of the button 7 is located in a symmetrical arrangement of the second arm 26, which also has an outwardly projecting pin 27. Is the key 7 in the in Figures 2 and 5
  • This arrangement of the pins 27 with respect to the two ridges 24 has the effect that the button 7 vertically can not be moved down without the button 7 in the one or the other direction is pivoted.
  • the key 7 Before the key 7 can be moved substantially downwards, it must therefore be pivoted in one or the other direction, as already explained above. If the key 7 is pivoted, the two pins 27 can each be moved downwards in the corresponding guide slot 25.
  • the guide slots 25 do not extend over the entire length of the lower housing part 5b, so that correspondingly the movement of the key 7 is limited downwards.
  • the guide grooves 23 and the guide slots 25 are incorporated on the inside in the lower housing part 5b. In principle, however, these can also be arranged on a further part inserted into the housing 5.
  • the two plungers 14 and 15 are mounted vertically displaceable in a tappet guide 21 of the lower housing part 5b.
  • a surface 45 is arranged, against which the two plungers 14 and 15 rest in the rest position. These positions are held by springs, not shown here, against which the plunger 14 and 15 are each movable downwards.
  • the plungers 14 and 15 each have a lower end 14b and 15b projecting from a projection 20 of the lower housing part 5b down. These ends 14 b and 15 b are each connected to a cable 16 of the cable 3. With these cables 16, the movements of the two plungers 14 and 15 are transmitted to the outlet valve 4.
  • a remote release has the advantage that dimensional variations in a cistern made of ceramic on the operation have no influence and do not complicate the assembly.
  • the key 7 in the area 8a is first in the in FIG. 3 shown pivoted position.
  • the pivot angle is for example 5 - 10 °, preferably about 7.5 °.
  • the two pins 27 come out of the in FIG. 5 shown area in an area that is outside the plane of the two ridges 24.
  • the button 7 is now moved in this pivoted position down.
  • the first pusher arm 13a in this case passes into the region of the upper end 14a of the first plunger 14 and moves it downwards. Accordingly, the associated with this plunger 14 cable 16 is moved and pivoted the corresponding not visible here lever and the closure body 30 is raised so that the weight 38 is not effective.
  • the key 7 is first pivoted in the area 8b and then moved down. To move the button 7 down against the force of the spring 19, the entire surface 8 of the button 7 is available. Even with a comparatively small touch area of, for example, less than 9 cm 2 is thereby a ergonomic flushing possible. In the FIG. 2 the key 7 is thus pivoted clockwise. The swing angle can be the same, but this is not mandatory. If the key 7 is now moved downwards, the second pusher arm 13b pushes the pusher 15 downwards. Accordingly, the associated with this plunger cable 16 is moved and the closure body 30 is raised so that the weight 38 is effective and accordingly the outlet valve 4 is closed prematurely.
  • the cistern is then refilled via an inlet valve (not shown here). If the button 7 is released, it goes into the in due to the restoring force of the spring 19 in FIG. 2 shown rest position back. The plunger 14 and 15 are independent of this return movement and get back to the rest position with the corresponding cable 16 due to the said further springs.
