Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ventilanordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a valve arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Ventilanordnung dieser Art ist beispielsweise aus der EP-A-0 811 729 des Anmelders bekannt geworden. Das Schliessventil ist hier ein pneumatisches oder elektromagnetisch betätigbares Ventil. Dieses ist mit dem Drosselventil in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse angeordnet. Zudem befindet sich in diesem Gehäuse ein Sieb.A valve assembly of this kind is for example from the EP-A-0 811 729 have become known to the applicant. The closing valve is here a pneumatic or electromagnetically operable valve. This is arranged with the throttle valve in a common housing. In addition, there is a sieve in this housing.

Eine weitere ähnliche Ventilanordnung ist aus der EP-A-0 794 371 bekannt geworden. Um eine einfache Zugänglichkeit des Innenraums des Ventils und ferner eine einfache Handhabung bei der Montage und Installation zu gewährleisten, ist vorgesehen, dass das Ventilgehäuse eine mit einem Ventildeckel verschliessbare Öffnung aufweist und dass der Ventildeckel und der Siebdeckel an einer Frontseite des Ventilgehäuses und des Siebgehäuses angeordnet sind.Another similar valve arrangement is from the EP-A-0 794 371 known. In order to ensure easy accessibility of the interior of the valve and also easy handling during assembly and installation, it is provided that the valve housing has a closable with a valve cover opening and that the valve cover and the strainer cover disposed on a front side of the valve housing and the screen housing are.

Die US-A-2,257,134 offenbart eine Spülvorrichtung, die in einer Leitungsanordnung ein an eine Versorgungsleitung angeschlossenes Drosselventil und ein an einen Abgangsstutzen angeschlossnes Schliessventil aufweist. Die Leitungsanordnung ist mit einem Gehäuse abgedeckt.The US-A-2,257,134 discloses a flushing device comprising in a line arrangement a throttle valve connected to a supply line and a closing valve connected to an outlet connection. The line arrangement is covered with a housing.

Die US-A-2006/0179560 offenbart eine Spülvorrichtung mit einem Einbaukasten, in dem ein an eine Versorgungsleitung angeschlossenes Rückschlagventil und ein an einen Abgangsstutzen angeschlossenes Schliessventil angeordnet sind.The US-A-2006/0179560 discloses a flushing device with a mounting box, in which a non-return valve connected to a supply line and a closing valve connected to a discharge nozzle are arranged.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Ventilanordnung der genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine noch einfachere Zugänglichkeit, insbesondere zum Sieb und eine einfachere Handhabung bei der Montage und Installation ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a valve assembly of the type mentioned, which allows even easier accessibility, in particular to the screen and easier handling during installation and installation.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Ventilanordnung gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst. Bei der erfindungsgemässen Ventilanordnung kann für eine Revision oder für einen Austausch des Abgangsrohrteils und des Schliessventils diese vergleichsweise einfach aus dem Einbaukasten herausgehoben und anschliessend wieder eingesetzt werden. Nach dem Schliessen des Drosselventils muss hier lediglich noch die Verbindung zwischen dem Anschlussrohrteil und dem Abgangsrohrteil gelöst werden. Das Abgangsrohrteil kann dann mit dem Schliessventil aus dem Einbaukasten herausgehoben werden. Diese sind dann für eine Reinigung und Revision einfach zugänglich und können dann wieder einfach eingesetzt oder ausgetauscht werden.The object is achieved in a generic valve arrangement according to claim 1. In the valve arrangement according to the invention, for a revision or for an exchange of the outlet pipe part and the closing valve, the latter can be lifted out of the installation box comparatively easily and then reused. After closing the throttle valve here only the connection between the connecting pipe part and the outlet pipe part has to be solved. The outlet pipe part can then be lifted out of the installation box with the closing valve. These are then easily accessible for cleaning and revision and can then easily be used or replaced again.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Abgangsrohrteil mit dem Anschlussrohrteil verriegelt ist. Eine solche Verriegelung ermöglicht eine kraftschlüssige feste und dennoch lösbare Verbindung der beiden Rohrteile miteinander.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the outlet pipe part is locked to the connection pipe part. Such a lock allows a non-positive fixed yet releasable connection of the two pipe parts together.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Abgangsrohrteil von unten dicht in das Anschlussrohrteil eingesetzt ist. Zum Lösen wird das Abgangsrohrteil nach unten bewegt und kann nach einem Schrägstellen aus dem Einbaukasten herausgehoben werden.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the outlet pipe part is inserted from below tight in the connection pipe part. To release the outlet pipe part is moved down and can be lifted out of the installation box after tilting.

Eine besonders sichere Demontage ist gewährleistet, da gemäss der Erfindung am Anschlussrohrteil ein Sperrelement gelagert ist, das bei geöffnetem Drosselventil ein Lösen des Abgangsrohrteils vom Anschlussrohrteil verhindert und das bei geschlossenem Drosselventil in eine freigebende Position bewegbar ist. Das Sperrelement verhindert somit, dass das Abgangsrohrteil bei geöffnetem Drosselventil vom Anschlussrohrteil getrennt werden kann. Damit kann sicher verhindert werden, dass beim Lösen des Abgangsrohrteils Wasser aus der Ventilanordnung spritzt.A particularly safe disassembly is ensured because according to the invention, a blocking element is mounted on the connection pipe part, which in the throttle valve is open, a release of the outlet pipe part of the connection pipe part prevents and that is movable with the throttle valve in a releasing position. The blocking element thus prevents the outlet pipe part can be separated from the connecting pipe part with the throttle valve open. This can be reliably prevented that splashes when releasing the outlet pipe part of water from the valve assembly.

Das Entsperren ist dann besonders einfach, wenn gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung das Sperrelement in der Sperrstellung ein Halteelement sperrt, welches den Abgangsrohrteil mit dem Anschlussrohrteil verriegelt und das in der freigebenden Position des Sperrelements vom Anschlussrohrteil und vom Abgangsrohrteil lösbar ist.Unlocking is particularly simple if, according to a development of the invention, the blocking element in the blocking position locks a retaining element which locks the outlet pipe part with the connection pipe part and which can be released in the releasing position of the blocking element from the connection pipe part and from the outlet pipe part.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist in das obere Ende des Abgangsrohrteils ein Sieb herausnehmbar eingesetzt. Bei herausgehobenem Abgangsrohrteil kann dieses Sieb in einfacher Weise ausgewechselt oder gereinigt werden.According to a development of the invention, a sieve is removably inserted into the upper end of the outlet pipe part. When the outlet pipe part is lifted out, this sieve can be easily replaced or cleaned.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist in die genannte untere Öffnung des Einbaukastens der Abgangsstutzen eingesetzt, in welchen das untere Ende des Abgangsrohrteils heraushebbar und neigbar eingesetzt ist. Ist das Abgangsrohrteil vom Anschlussrohrteil gelöst, so kann das Abgangsrohrteil geneigt und aus dem Abgangsstutzen herausgezogen werden. Bei der Montage kann entsprechend ebenfalls sehr einfach das Abgangsrohrteil schräg in den Abgangsstutzen eingesetzt und dann in den Einbaukasten eingesetzt werden.According to a development of the invention, the outlet nozzle is inserted into said lower opening of the installation box, in which the lower end of the outlet pipe part is inserted and tilted inserted. If the outlet pipe part is detached from the connection pipe part, then the outlet pipe part can be inclined and pulled out of the outlet connection piece. During installation, it is also very easy to insert the outlet pipe part at an angle into the outlet connection and then insert it into the installation box.

Hierbei ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass das untere Ende des Abgangsrohrteils von oben in eine Dichtung des Abgangsstutzens eingeschoben ist. Der Abgangsstutzen ist gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung mit einem Befestigungsteil lösbar mit dem Einbaukasten verbunden. Die Verbindung ist hierbei gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung als Bajonettverbindung ausgebildet. Dies ermöglicht eine einfache und dennoch sichere Befestigung des Abgangsstutzens am Einbaukasten.It is particularly provided that the lower end of the outlet pipe part is inserted from above into a seal of the outlet nozzle. The outlet nozzle is releasably connected to a mounting part according to a development of the invention with the mounting box. The connection is formed here according to a development of the invention as a bayonet connection. This allows a simple yet secure attachment of the outlet nozzle to the mounting box.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie der Zeichnung.Further advantageous features emerge from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.

Die in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigte Ventilanordnung 1 besitzt einen Einbaukasten 2, der in eine hier nicht gezeigte Nische, beispielsweise über einer Urinalschüssel montierbar ist. Der Einbaukasten 2 besitzt eine vordere Öffnung 24, die in an sich bekannter Weise mit einer Lagerplatte 25 und einer Abdeckplatte 26 verschlossen ist. Die Lagerplatte 25 und die Abdeckplatte 26 sind hier für eine pneumatische Betätigung ausgebildet. Grundsätzlich wäre hier aber auch eine andere Betätigung, beispielsweise eine elektromagnetische Betätigung möglich. In die Öffnung 24 ist ein ablängbarer Bauschutz 27 einsetzbar, der nach der Montage entsprechend abgelängt wird. Die Abdeckplatte 26 befindet sich dann abweichend von der Figur 2 vor dem Bauschutz 27.The in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown valve assembly 1 has a mounting box 2, which is mounted in a niche, not shown here, for example via a urinal bowl. The mounting box 2 has a front opening 24 which is closed in a conventional manner with a bearing plate 25 and a cover plate 26. The bearing plate 25 and the cover plate 26 are formed here for a pneumatic actuator. In principle, however, would also be another operation, such as an electromagnetic actuation possible. In the opening 24 a cutaway protection 27 is used, which is cut to length after assembly. The cover plate 26 is then different from the FIG. 2 before the protection of the building 27.

Im Einbaukasten 2 ist ein Gehäuse G angeordnet, das an einem oberen Ende mittels einer Rändelmutter 5 mit einem Anschlussstutzen 4 verbunden ist, der durch eine Öffnung 21 aus dem Einbaukasten 2 herausragt. Auf den Anschlussstutzen 4 kann ein Schutzschwamm 28 aufgesetzt sein. Das Gehäuse G besitzt einen Wasserkanal W, der von einem Durchgang 3 des Anschlussstutzens 4 in einen Durchgang 8 eines Anschlussrohrteils 6 führt. In den Durchgang 8 ragt ein Drosselventil 7 hinein, das in Figur 10 gezeigt ist. Die Figur 2 zeigt zudem einen Schnitt durch dieses Drosselventil 7. Bei geschlossenem Drosselventil 7 ist der Durchgang 8 abgesperrt. Der Wasserkanal W führt nach dem Durchgang in einen Abgangsrohrteil 14, in das von oben ein Sieb 9 eingesetzt ist, das als Filter für den Rückhalt von Teilchen dient. In eine Öffnung des Abgangsrohrteils 14 ist ein Ventil 10 eingesetzt, das ein Schliessventil mit einem Verschlusskörper 12 ist, welches mit einem Ventilsitz 13 zusammenarbeitet. Das Ventil 10 ist ein an sich bekanntes Membranventil, das über eine Hilfsventil 11 gesteuert ist. Die Steuerung kann pneumatisch oder beispielsweise auch elektromagnetisch erfolgen. Vom Ventil 10 führt ein Durchgang 46 zu einer Mündung 17, welche in einen Durchgang 20 eines Abgangsstutzen 18 hineinragt. Dieser Abgangsstutzen 18 ist mit einem Deckel 15 mit dem Einbaukasten 2 lösbar verbunden. Innerhalb des Abgangsstutzens 18 ist eine Dichtung 16 eingesetzt, in welche das untere Ende bzw. die Mündung 17 des Abgangsrohrteils 14 hineinragt. Die Dichtung 16 ist mit dem Deckel 15 festgelegt. Die Verbindung des Deckels 15 mit dem Einbaukasten 2 ist insbesondere und vorzugsweise eine Bajonettverbindung. Durch Drehen des Deckels 15 kann somit der Abgangsstutzen 18 gelöst und nach oben in den Einbaukasten 2 geschoben werden. Mittels einer Schulter 19 ist der Abgangsstutzen 18 an einer Öffnung 22 des Einbaukastens 2 abgestützt. Zur Befestigung der Ventilanordnung 1 an einem hier nicht gezeigten Gestell werden an sich bekannte Befestigungsbolzen 23 verwendet.In the installation box 2, a housing G is arranged, which is connected at an upper end by means of a knurled nut 5 with a connecting piece 4, which protrudes through an opening 21 from the mounting box 2. On the connection piece 4, a protective sponge 28 may be placed. The housing G has a water channel W, which leads from a passage 3 of the connection piece 4 into a passage 8 of a connection pipe part 6. In the passage 8, a throttle valve 7 protrudes into the FIG. 10 is shown. The FIG. 2 also shows a section through this throttle valve 7. When the throttle valve 7 is closed, the passage 8 is shut off. The water channel W leads after the passage in an outlet pipe part 14, in which from above a sieve 9 is inserted, which serves as a filter for the retention of particles. In an opening of the Outlet pipe part 14, a valve 10 is used, which is a closing valve with a closure body 12 which cooperates with a valve seat 13. The valve 10 is a known diaphragm valve, which is controlled by an auxiliary valve 11. The control can be pneumatic or, for example, electromagnetic. From the valve 10, a passage 46 leads to an orifice 17, which projects into a passage 20 of an outlet spigot 18. This outlet nozzle 18 is releasably connected to a lid 15 with the mounting box 2. Within the outlet nozzle 18, a seal 16 is inserted, in which the lower end or the mouth 17 of the outlet pipe part 14 protrudes. The seal 16 is fixed to the lid 15. The connection of the lid 15 with the mounting box 2 is in particular and preferably a bayonet connection. By turning the lid 15 thus the outlet nozzle 18 can be solved and pushed upwards into the mounting box 2. By means of a shoulder 19, the outlet spigot 18 is supported on an opening 22 of the installation box 2. For fastening the valve assembly 1 to a frame, not shown here, known fastening bolts 23 are used.

Bei geöffnetem Drosselventil 7 kann somit durch Betätigen des Ventils 10 eine Spülung ausgelöst werden. Das Spülwasser strömt dann von dem Anschlussstutzen 4 durch das Ventil 10 und schliesslich durch die Mündung 17 in den Abgangsstutzen 18. Von dort fliesst das Wasser beispielsweise über ein Spülrohr in das Urinal oder einen anderen Sanitärartikel. Die Spülung wird unterbrochen, indem das Ventil 10 geschlossen wird.When the throttle valve 7 is opened can thus be triggered by actuation of the valve 10, a purge. The rinse water then flows from the connecting piece 4 through the valve 10 and finally through the mouth 17 in the outlet spigot 18. From there, the water flows, for example via a flushing pipe into the urinal or another sanitary article. The purge is interrupted by closing the valve 10.

Das Drosselventil 7 besitzt gemäss Figur 10 ein Gehäuse 47, in dem eine Drosselschraube 33 gelagert ist. Diese kann durch eine Öffnung 49 einer Sperrscheibe 29 hindurch gedreht und damit der in Figur 2 gezeigte Verschlusskörper 48 zum Sperren bzw. Entsperren bewegt werden. Die Sperrscheibe 29 ist um ein Schwenklager 45 schwenkbar, wobei in der in Figur 10 gezeigten Position die Sperrscheibe 29 einen Halter 30 überdeckt und diesen damit auf dem Gehäuse 47 fixiert. Am Halter 30 sind zwei Bügel 31 angebracht, welche gemäss Figur 2 jeweils mit einem vorderen Ende in eine Ausnehmung 32 des Abgangsrohrteils 14 eingreifen. Der Halter 30 verbindet mit diesen beiden Bügeln 31 den Anschlussrohrteil 6 mit dem Abgangsrohrteil 14. Ist das Drosselventil 7 geöffnet, so ragt die Drosselschraube 33 in die Öffnung 49 hinein. Die Sperrscheibe 29 ist damit gesperrt und kann nicht um das Schwenklager 45 verschwenkt werden. Entsprechend kann bei geöffnetem Drosselventil 7 der Halter 30 nicht vom Gehäuse 47 abgenommen und damit das Abgangsrohrteil 14 vom Anschlussrohrteil 6 entfernt werden. Ist hingegen das Drosselventil 7 geschlossen, so ragt die Drosselschraube 33 nicht in die Öffnung 49 hinein und entsprechend kann die Sperrscheibe 29 verschwenkt werden, so dass sie schliesslich den Halter 30 nicht überdeckt. Bei verschwenkter Sperrscheibe 29 kann dann der Halter 30 mit dem Bügel 31 abgenommen und damit die Verriegelung des Abgangsrohrteils 14 aufgehoben werden. Das Abgangsrohrteil 14 kann nun für eine Revision oder für einen Austausch ausgebaut werden, wie dies nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 3 bis 9 näher erläutert wird.The throttle valve 7 has according FIG. 10 a housing 47 in which a throttle screw 33 is mounted. This can be rotated through an opening 49 of a locking disc 29 and thus the in FIG. 2 shown closure body 48 are moved to lock or unlock. The locking disc 29 is pivotable about a pivot bearing 45, wherein in the in FIG. 10 shown position the locking disc 29 covers a holder 30 and thus fixed on the housing 47. On bracket 30, two brackets 31 are attached, which according to FIG. 2 each engage with a front end in a recess 32 of the outlet pipe part 14. The holder 30 connects with these two brackets 31 the connection pipe part 6 with the outlet pipe part 14. If the throttle valve 7 is opened, then the throttle screw 33 projects into the opening 49. The Locking disc 29 is thus locked and can not be pivoted about the pivot bearing 45. Accordingly, when the throttle valve 7 is open, the holder 30 can not be removed from the housing 47 and thus the outlet pipe part 14 can be removed from the connection pipe part 6. If, however, the throttle valve 7 is closed, the throttle screw 33 does not protrude into the opening 49 and, accordingly, the locking disc 29 can be pivoted so that it finally does not cover the holder 30. When pivoted locking disc 29 then the holder 30 can be removed with the bracket 31 and thus the locking of the outlet pipe part 14 are repealed. The outlet pipe part 14 can now be removed for revision or replacement, as described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 9 is explained in more detail.

Die Figur 3 zeigt die Sperrscheibe 29 nach dem Verschwenken in Richtung des Pfeils 34 um das Schwenklager 45. Der Halter 30 ist damit frei und kann gemäss Figur 4 in Richtung des Pfeils 36 mit dem Bügel 31 vom Gehäuse 37 des Drosselventils 7 ausgezogen werden. Das Abgangsrohrteil 14 kann nun gemäss Figur 5 mit einem Schraubendreher 37 gemäss Pfeil 38 nach unten bewegt und gemäss Figur 6 in Richtung des Pfeils 35 nach vorne gekippt und schliesslich in Richtung des Pfeils 39 durch die Öffnung 24 aus dem Einbaukasten 2 herausgehoben werden. Mit dem Abgangsrohrteil 14 wird gleichzeitig die mit diesem verbundene Steuervorrichtung 40 und Anschlussleitungen 41 herausgehoben. Die Anschlussleitungen 41 sind in diesem Fall pneumatische Leitungen. Bei einem elektromagnetischen Ventil sind diese entsprechend durch Kabel ersetzt. Das ausgebaute Abgangsrohrteil 14 kann nun revidiert, beispielsweise gemäss Figur 7 mit einem Schmiermittel 42 geschmiert werden. Möglich ist hier auch eine Reinigung oder ein Austausch des Siebs 9. Schliesslich ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, das gesamte Abgangsrohrteil 14 auszutauschen.The FIG. 3 shows the locking disc 29 after pivoting in the direction of the arrow 34 about the pivot bearing 45. The holder 30 is thus free and can according to FIG. 4 be pulled in the direction of arrow 36 with the bracket 31 from the housing 37 of the throttle valve 7. The outlet pipe part 14 can now according to FIG. 5 with a screwdriver 37 according to arrow 38 moves down and according to FIG. 6 tilted forward in the direction of arrow 35 and finally lifted out of the installation box 2 in the direction of the arrow 39 through the opening 24. With the outlet pipe part 14, the associated with this control device 40 and connecting lines 41 is lifted simultaneously. The connection lines 41 are in this case pneumatic lines. In the case of an electromagnetic valve, these are correspondingly replaced by cables. The removed outlet pipe part 14 can now be revised, for example according to FIG. 7 lubricated with a lubricant 42. It is also possible here to clean or replace the screen 9. Finally, it is of course also possible to replace the entire outlet pipe part 14.

Nach der Revision bzw. dem Austausch wird das Abgangsrohrteil 14 in geneigter Stellung gemäss Figur 8 in Richtung des Pfeils 43 wieder durch die Öffnung 24 in den Einbaukasten 2 eingesetzt. Gemäss Figur 9 wird schliesslich das Abgangsrohrteil 14 in Richtung des Pfeils 44 nach oben geschoben, so dass dieses mit dem oberen Ende dicht mit dem Anschlussrohrteil 6 verbunden ist. Nun wird der Halter 30 eingeschoben und damit das Anschlussrohrteil 6 mit dem Abgangsrohrteil 14 verriegelt. Die Sperrscheibe 29 wird wieder in die in Figur 10 gezeigte Position verschwenkt. Durch die Öffnung 49 hindurch kann nun die Drosselschraube 33 gedreht und damit das Drosselventil 7 geöffnet werden. Die Drosselschraube 33 wird hierbei herausgedreht und ragt bei geöffnetem Drosselventil 7 in die Öffnung 49 und sperrt damit die Sperrscheibe 29, wie bereits oben erläutert.After the revision or replacement, the outlet pipe part 14 is in the inclined position according to FIG. 8 in the direction of arrow 43 again inserted through the opening 24 in the mounting box 2. According to FIG. 9 Finally, the outlet pipe part 14 is pushed in the direction of the arrow 44 upwards, so that it is connected to the upper end sealed to the connection pipe part 6. Now, the holder 30 is inserted and thus the connection pipe part 6 is locked to the outlet pipe part 14. The locking disc 29 is back in the FIG. 10 shown pivoted position. Through the opening 49 through the throttle screw 33 can now be rotated and thus the throttle valve 7 are opened. The throttle screw 33 is hereby rotated and protrudes with the throttle valve 7 open in the opening 49 and thus locks the locking disc 29, as already explained above.

Schliesslich werden die Lagerplatte 25 und die Abdeckplatte 26 montiert.Finally, the bearing plate 25 and the cover plate 26 are mounted.
