Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spülkasten gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cistern according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Spülkästen mit Betätigungsvorrichtungen für die in den Spülkästen angeordneten Ablaufventile werden häufig durch Trockenbau- oder Maurerarbeiten verkleidet. Während Ablaufventile und zugehörige Betätigungseinrichtungen bei freistehenden Spülkästen nach Abheben des Spülkastendeckels montiert und gewartet werden können, sind die in den so genannten Unterputz- oder Wandeinbauspülkästen angeordneten Ablaufventile lediglich noch durch Revisionsöffnungen zugänglich.
Nach Fertigstellung der jeweiligen Wandoberfläche werden die zugehörigen Betätigungsvorrichtungen in Aufputz-Ausführung montiert. Dabei verdecken die Betätigungsvorrichtungen die Revisionsöffnungen mit Abdeckplatten oder ähnlichem.
Zur Befestigung der Betätigungsvorrichtungen oder Abdeckplatten sind eine Vielzahl von Lösungen bekannt.
Die DE 92 10 905 U1 zeigt einen verkürzbaren Rahmen zum Auskleiden einer Wandaussparung, an dem wiederum Befestigungsmittel für einen weiteren Rahmen mit lösbarer Abdeckplatte vorgesehen sind.
Die DE 101 49 729 A1 offenbart ein Funktions- und Verkleidungselement, das mittels einer Adapterplatte an unterschiedliche Varianten von Betätigungsvorrichtungen in Spülkästen angepasst wird, wobei das Funktions- und Verkleidungselement sowohl bündig mit der Wandoberfläche oder gegenüber dieser überstehend oder versenkt angeordnet werden kann.
Aus der DE 195 47 178 C2 ist eine Abdeckung für eine Revisionsöffnung bekannt, bei der eine Abdeckplatte mittels einer Rastverbindung an einem Rahmen an der Revisionsöffnung befestigt und über ein Verriegelungsselement gesichert ist.Cisterns with actuators for the arranged in the cisterns drain valves are often clad by drywall or bricklaying. While drain valves and associated controls can be mounted and maintained in freestanding cisterns after lifting the cistern lid, the drain valves arranged in the so-called flush-mounted or wall-mounted cisterns are only accessible through inspection openings.
After completion of the respective wall surface, the associated actuators are mounted in a surface-mounted version. The actuators hide the access openings with cover plates or the like.
For attachment of the actuators or cover plates a variety of solutions are known.
The DE 92 10 905 U1 shows a shortenable frame for lining a wall recess, which in turn fastening means are provided for a further frame with releasable cover plate.
The DE 101 49 729 A1 discloses a functional and fairing element, which is adapted by means of an adapter plate to different variants of actuators in cisterns, wherein the functional and Cladding element both flush with the wall surface or against this can be arranged projecting or sunk.
From the DE 195 47 178 C2 a cover for a revision opening is known, in which a cover plate is fastened by means of a latching connection to a frame on the inspection opening and secured by a locking element.

Weiterhin sind Spülkästen bekannt, die kleinere Öffnungen zum Einbringen von festen oder flüssigen Desinfektions- oder Reinigungsmitteln aufweisen.
Die DE 299 06 223 U1 zeigt einen Aufputz-Spülkasten, der am Spülkasten oder am Spülkastendeckel eine Durchdringung aufweist, durch welche feste oder flüssige Substanzen in einen Dosierspender innerhalb des Spülkastens eingebracht werden können und die mittels eines Verschlussstückes geöffnet und verschlossen werden kann.Furthermore, cisterns are known which have smaller openings for introducing solid or liquid disinfectants or cleaning agents.
The DE 299 06 223 U1 shows a surface-mounted cistern, the cistern or the cistern lid has a penetration through which solid or liquid substances can be introduced into a metering dispenser within the cistern and can be opened and closed by means of a closure piece.

Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, einen Spülkasten bereitzustellen, bei dem die Zugänglichkeit des Innenraums und der darin angeordneten Vorrichtungen verbessert wird.Against this background, the object of the invention is to provide a cistern in which the accessibility of the interior and the devices arranged therein is improved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Spülkasten mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.
Mit der Erfindung wird ein Spülkasten mit einem Kastenkörper bereitgestellt, der eine Revisionsöffnung, in deren Bereich ein Rahmen angeordnet ist, und eine Abdeckplatte aufweist, in der eine Betätigungstaste oder eine Betätigungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist, die zur Bedienung eines Ablaufventils vorgesehen ist. Die Abdeckplatte ist schwenkbar mittels eines Scharniers und somit untrennbar mit dem Rahmen an der Revisionsöffnung verbunden. Dadurch kann die Abdeckplatte wie eine Tür geöffnet und geschlossen werden.This object is achieved by a cistern with the features of claim 1.
Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
With the invention, a cistern is provided with a box body having an inspection opening, in the area of which a frame is arranged, and a cover plate, in which an actuating button or an actuating device is provided, which is provided for operating a drain valve. The cover plate is pivotally connected by means of a hinge and thus inseparably connected to the frame at the inspection opening. This allows the cover plate to be opened and closed like a door.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Verbindung von Betätigungstaste bzw. der Betätigungsvorrichtung und Ablaufventil so ausgeführt, dass die Bedienbarkeit des Ablaufventils unabhängig von der Schwenkposition der Abdeckplatte ist.Preferably, the connection of actuating button or the actuator and drain valve is designed so that the operability of the drain valve is independent of the pivot position of the cover plate.

Während bei öffentlichen Gebäuden der Vandalensicherheit Rechnung getragen werden muss, ist es in Privathaushalten zeitaufwendig, bei notwendigen Wartungsvorgängen, die Abdeckplatten und zugehörigen Betätigungstasten von den Spülkästen zu entfernen. Beim erneuten Befestigen der Abdeckplatten ist immer darauf zu achten, dass die Verbindung zwischen Betätigungstaste und Ablaufventil nicht verklemmt oder unterbrochen wird.
Während bei dem erfindungswesentlichen Spülkasten die Revisionsöffnung ausreichend groß ist, um das gesamte Ablaufventil zu montieren bzw. zu demontieren, kann sie gleichzeitig genutzt werden, um Reinigungsmittel oder ähnliches in den Spülkasten oder in dafür vorgesehene Behälter im Spülkasten einzubringen. Dabei sind keine Fachkenntnisse notwendig, da das Öffnen und Schließen der Abdeckplatte und Betätigungstaste keine Unterbrechung der Verbindung zwischen Betätigungsvorrichtung und Ablaufventil bewirkt.
Die Betätigungsvorrichtung, die an der Abdeckplatte befestigt ist, ist wiederum mittels einer Leitung mit einem Stellglied des Ablaufventils verbunden. Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob das Stellglied des Ablaufventils über die Leitung pneumatisch, hydraulisch, elektrisch oder mechanisch angesteuert wird.
Die Länge der Leitung ist so vorgesehen, dass sie auch bei geöffneter Abdeckplatte, die Stellgröße, die durch die Betätigungstaste erzeugt wird, an das Stellglied übermittelt.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Abdeckplatte an einem zusätzlichen Halterahmen befestigt und mittels des Halterahmens an dem Rahmen der Revisionsöffnung schwenkbar befestigt. Vorteilhafterweise ist dann der Halterahmen mittels eines Scharniers mit dem Rahmen an der Revisionsöffnung verbunden. Vorzugsweise ist das Scharnier so ausgeführt, dass die Abdeckplatte untrennbar mit dem Rahmen am Spülkasten verbunden ist und nicht durch einfaches Abheben der Buchsen von den Achsen der Beschläge abgenommen werden kann. Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Scharnier verdeckt angebracht, so dass es von außen nicht sichtbar ist und die schwenkbare Funktion der Abdeckplatte oder des Halterahmens verborgen ist.While vandalism security must be addressed in public buildings, it is time-consuming in private households to remove the cover plates and associated operating buttons from the cisterns during necessary maintenance operations. When re-attaching the cover plates, always make sure that the connection between the actuating button and the drain valve is not jammed or interrupted.
While in the cistern essential to the invention, the inspection opening is sufficiently large to assemble or disassemble the entire drain valve, it can be used simultaneously to bring detergent or the like in the cistern or in designated container in the cistern. No expert knowledge is necessary, since the opening and closing of the cover plate and actuating button causes no interruption of the connection between the actuator and drain valve.
The actuator, which is attached to the cover plate, in turn, is connected by a line to an actuator of the drain valve. It is irrelevant whether the actuator of the drain valve is pneumatically, hydraulically, electrically or mechanically controlled via the line.
The length of the line is provided so that it transmits to the actuator even when the cover plate is open, the manipulated variable, which is generated by the actuating button.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the cover plate is attached to an additional support frame and pivotally attached by means of the support frame to the frame of the inspection opening. Advantageously, the holding frame is then connected by means of a hinge to the frame at the inspection opening. Preferably, the hinge is designed so that the cover plate is inseparably connected to the frame on the cistern and can not be removed by simply lifting the sockets of the axes of the fittings. According to a development of Invention, the hinge is mounted concealed, so that it is not visible from the outside and the pivotal function of the cover plate or the support frame is hidden.

Vorzugsweise ist das Scharnier als ein am Rahmen und an der Abdeckplatte oder am Halterahmen befestigbares Koppelgetriebe vorgesehen, das als Viergelenkgetriebe ausgebildet ist. Die Gelenkpunkte des Viergelenkgetriebes am Rahmen und an der Abdeckplatte bzw. an dem Halterahmen sind derart gewählt, dass die Abdeckplatte im geschlossenen Zustand parallel zur Spülkastenvorderseite angeordnet ist und in einem geöffneten oder verschwenkten Zustand einen Öffnungswinkel von größer 120° aufweisen kann.Preferably, the hinge is provided as a coupling gear which can be fastened to the frame and to the cover plate or to the holding frame and which is designed as a four-bar linkage. The hinge points of the four-bar linkage on the frame and on the cover plate or on the holding frame are selected such that the cover plate is arranged in the closed state parallel to the Spülkastenvorderseite and may have an opening angle of greater than 120 ° in an open or pivoted state.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels und unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert. Darin zeigen im Einzelnen:

Figur 1 zeigt einen bekannten Spülkasten 1 mit einem Kastenkörper für das aufzunehmende Spülwasser. Der Spülkasten weist eine Revisionsöffnung 11 auf, deren zugehörige Abdeckplatte entfernt ist und den Blick in den Innenraum des Spülkastens 1 teilweise freigibt. Durch die Revisionsöffnung 11 kann ein Ablaufventil 8 in den Spülkasten 1 eingebracht und montiert werden. Im Fall von Wartungsarbeiten oder Funktionsstörungen kann das gesamte Ablaufventil 8 durch die Revisionsöffnung 11 demontiert und entnommen werden.
Im Innenraum des Spülkastens 1 ist neben dem Ablaufventil 8 ein Behälter 10 für Reinigungsmittel angeordnet, der mittels Traversen o.ä. an der Spülkastenwand unabhängig vom Ablaufventil 8 befestigt ist. Der Behälter 10 ist wenigstens zum Teil unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche im Spülkasten 1 angeordnet, so dass Reinigungsmittel, das in fester Form in den Spülkasten eingelegt wird, gelöst und in das anstehende Wasser abgegeben werden kann.
Für alle Wartungsarbeiten muss die Abdeckplatte jedoch komplett von der Spülkastenöffnung demontiert werden. Gerade bei Wandeinbauspülkästen, bei denen Abdeckplatten und Betätigungsvorrichtungen üblicherweise kombiniert sind, ist dies aufwendig, da bei der erneuten Montage auf die Funktionsfähigkeit der Betätigungsvorrichtungen und der damit verbundenen Ablaufventile geachtet werden muss. FIG. 1 shows a known cistern 1 with a box body for the housed rinse water. The cistern has an inspection opening 11, the associated cover plate is removed and the view into the interior of the cistern 1 partially releases. Through the inspection opening 11, a drain valve 8 can be introduced and mounted in the cistern 1. In the case of maintenance or malfunction, the entire drain valve 8 can be removed and removed through the inspection opening 11.
In the interior of the cistern 1, a container 10 for cleaning agent is arranged next to the drain valve 8, the like by means of traverses. is attached to the Spülkastenwand independent of the drain valve 8. The container 10 is arranged at least partially below the water surface in the cistern 1, so that cleaning agent, which is inserted in a solid form in the cistern, dissolved and discharged into the water can be discharged.
For all maintenance work, however, the cover plate must be completely disassembled from the cistern opening. Especially in wall-mounted cisterns, in which cover plates and actuators are usually combined, this is expensive, since care must be taken in the reassembly of the functionality of the actuators and the associated drain valves.

Figur 2 zeigt dagegen einen Ausschnitt eines erfindungsgemäßen Spülkastens 1 mit einer schwenkbaren Abdeckplatte 4 im geöffneten Zustand.
An der Abdeckplatte 4 ist eine pneumatische Betätigungsvorrichtung 6 befestigt, an deren Vorderseite eine Betätigungstaste (nicht sichtbar) angeordnet ist. Beim Berühren oder bei Druck auf die Betätigungstaste wird in der Betätigungsvorrichtung 6 über einen Faltenbalg oder Druckgeber eine pneumatische Stellgröße erzeugt, die über eine flexible Leitung 7 zu einem Stellglied des Ablaufventils 8 geführt wird.
Die Länge der Leitung 7 ist dabei der Schwenkbewegung der Abdeckplatte 4 angepasst. Dadurch kann diese wie eine Tür geöffnet werden, ohne dass die Funktion des Ablaufventils 8 unterbrochen wird. Daher ist auch im verschwenkten oder geöffneten Zustand der Abdeckplatte 4 eine Betätigung des Ablaufventils 8 und eine Kontrolle des Spülvorgangs möglich.
Zur Befestigung der Abdeckplatte 4 am Spülkasten 1 sind Scharniere 9 vorgesehen. FIG. 2 on the other hand shows a section of a cistern 1 according to the invention with a pivotable cover plate 4 in the open state.
On the cover plate 4, a pneumatic actuator 6 is attached to the front of an actuator button (not visible) is arranged. When touching or pressing the button is in the actuator 6 via a bellows or pressure transducer a generates pneumatic manipulated variable, which is guided via a flexible line 7 to an actuator of the drain valve 8.
The length of the line 7 is adapted to the pivoting movement of the cover plate 4. As a result, it can be opened like a door without the function of the drain valve 8 being interrupted. Therefore, even in the pivoted or opened state of the cover 4, an operation of the drain valve 8 and a control of the rinsing process possible.
For fastening the cover plate 4 on the cistern 1 hinges 9 are provided.

Aus den Figuren 3 bis 6 wird deutlich, dass die Scharniere 9 so ausgeformt sind, dass einerseits eine große Schwenkbewegung von größer 120° möglich ist aber andererseits von außen nicht sichtbar wird, dass die Abdeckplatte 4 mit einer Schwenkfunktion ausgestattet ist. Dazu ist als Scharnier 9 ein Viergelenkgetriebe vorgesehen. Zur Befestigung der Gelenkpunkte 91, 93 ist um die Revisionsöffnung 11 des Spülkastens 1 ein Rahmen 2 angeordnet.
Die zugehörigen und über Lenker verbundenen Gelenkpunkte 92, 94 sind wiederum an einem Halterahmen 2, auf den die Abdeckplatte 4 aufgeschnappt ist und der eine höhere Steifigkeit als die Abdeckplatte 4 aufweist, befestigt. Um unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen der Abdeckplatte 4 zu vermeiden, sind Rasthaken 12 vorgesehen, die mit entsprechenden Rastvorsprüngen am Rahmen 2 des Spülkastens 1 zusammenwirken.
Zum Lösen der Verrastung genügt ein Ziehen auf der den Gelenkpunkten abgewandten Seite der Abdeckplatte 4.From the FIGS. 3 to 6 It is clear that the hinges 9 are formed so that on the one hand a large pivoting movement of greater than 120 ° is possible but on the other hand is not visible from the outside, that the cover plate 4 is equipped with a pivoting function. For this purpose, a four-bar linkage 9 is provided as a hinge. For fixing the hinge points 91, 93, a frame 2 is arranged around the inspection opening 11 of the cistern 1.
The associated and connected via links pivot points 92, 94 are in turn on a support frame 2, on which the cover plate 4 is snapped and which has a higher rigidity than the cover plate 4, attached. To avoid unintentional opening of the cover plate 4, latching hooks 12 are provided which cooperate with corresponding latching projections on the frame 2 of the cistern 1.
To release the latching, pulling on the side of the cover plate 4 facing away from the articulation points is sufficient.
