Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spülkasten für eine sanitäre Einrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cistern for a sanitary device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei Unterputzspülkästen ist das Absperrventil im Innern des Kastenkörpers angeordnet. In der Regel ist das Absperrventil über eine flexible Leitung mit einem Einlaufventil verbunden, über welches der Spülkasten nach einer Spülung wieder mit Spülwasser nachgefüllt werden kann. Das Anschlussstück verbindet die Wasserleitung mit dem Absperrventil. Die Wasserleitung wird bei der Montage auf das Anschlussstück aufgeschoben und beispielsweise durch Verpressen oder Verschrauben dicht verbunden. Die Verbindung zwischen dem Absperrventil und der zum Einlaufventil führenden Leitung ist in der Regel eine Schraubverbindung. Die Wasserleitung wird beispielsweise durch ein Verbundrohr gebildet, das biegbar und für den Anschluss am Anschlussstück plastisch verformbar ist. Das Verbundrohr kann in einem Schutzrohr verlaufen, das beispielsweise ein Wellrohr aus Kunststoff ist.In concealed cisterns, the shut-off valve is arranged in the interior of the box body. As a rule, the shut-off valve is connected via a flexible line with an inlet valve, via which the cistern can be refilled with rinsing water after flushing. The fitting connects the water pipe with the shut-off valve. The water pipe is pushed during assembly to the connector and tightly connected, for example by pressing or screwing. The connection between the shut-off valve and the line leading to the inlet valve is usually a screw connection. The water pipe is formed for example by a composite pipe, which is bendable and plastically deformable for connection to the connector. The composite tube can run in a protective tube, which is for example a corrugated pipe made of plastic.

Durch die DE-A-100 29 162 ist ein Unterputzspülkasten bekannt geworden, bei dem das Anschlussstück mit einem Einlaufstutzen in den Spülkasten eingeführt ist. Ausserhalb des Spülkastens ist das Anschlussstück mit zwei Anschlussstutzen für die Verbindung mit dem Versorgungsleitungsnetz versehen. Das Absperrventil ist im Innern des Spülkastens angeordnet und am genannten Einlaufstutzen mit dem Anschlussstück verbunden. Durch die DE-U-299 10 709 ist ein Spülkasten bekannt geworden, bei dem das Absperrventil ebenfalls im Kasteninnem und das Anschlussstück hauptsächlich ausserhalb des Spülkastens angeordnet sind. Das Eckventil ist über einen Übergangsadapter mit dem Anschlussstück verbunden. Aus der DE-C-195 20 905 ist ein Spülkasten mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 bekannt.By the DE-A-100 29 162 a concealed cistern has become known in which the connector is inserted with an inlet nozzle in the cistern. Outside the cistern, the connector is provided with two connecting pieces for connection to the supply line network. The shut-off valve is arranged in the interior of the cistern and connected to said inlet fitting to the fitting. By the DE-U-299 10 709 a cistern has become known, in which the shut-off valve are also arranged in the box interior and the connector mainly outside the cistern. The angle valve is connected via a transition adapter with the connector. From the DE-C-195 20 905 a cistern with the features of the preamble of independent claim 1 is known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Spülkasten der genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem die Montagearbeit zum Verbinden der Wasserleitung mit dem Absperrventil noch einfacher ist.
Die Aufgabe ist bei einem gattungsgemässen Spülkasten gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst. Bei dem erfindungsgemässen Spülkasten ist das Anschlussstück somit innerhalb des Spülkastens in einer Aufnahmevorrichtung auszugsicher gelagert. Das Absperrventil, das insbesondere ein Eckventil ist, ist dann somit über das Anschlussstück an dieser Aufnahmevorrichtung gelagert. Da das Anschlussstück im Innern des Kastenkörpers gelagert ist, kann dieses durch die Revisionsöffnung des Spülkastens eingeführt werden, was die Montage wesentlich vereinfacht. Die Anschlussvorrichtung ermöglicht auch einen einfacheren und sicheren Anschluss eines Schutzrohres. Dieses ist gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung mit einem Ende in den Durchgang der Aufnahmevorrichtung einsetzbar. Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, dass das Schutzrohr mit Rastmitteln an der Aufnahmevorrichtung fixiert werden kann.
Die Montage ist dann besonders einfach, wenn gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung das Anschlussstück in der Aufnahmevorrichtung lösbar befestigt ist und im gelösten Zustand zum Spülkasteninnem hin verschiebbar ist. Zum Verbinden des Wasserrohrs mit dem Anschlussstück wird das anzuschliessende Ende des Wasserrohrs durch die Aufnahmevorrichtung hindurch geschoben, bis sich dieses vordere Ende innerhalb des Kastenkörpers verbindet. Dieses Ende kann beispielsweise durch Verpressen mit dem Anschlussstück verbunden werden. Das Wasserrohr wird dann zurückgezogen, bis sich das Anschlussstück wieder innerhalb der Aufnahmevorrichtung befindet. Hierbei ist gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das Anschlussstück drehsicher in der Aufnahmevorrichtung gelagert ist. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders stabile Lagerung des Absperrventils bzw. Eckventils am Kastenkörper.
Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Aufnahmevorrichtung eine Aufnahmehülse aufweist, welche in die genannte Öffnung eingesetzt ist und in welcher das Anschlussstück gelagert ist. Eine solche Aufnahmehülse kann beispielsweise sehr kostengünstig aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden. Sie kann insbesondere von der Spülkasteninnenseite in die genannte Öffnung eingesetzt und gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung mittels einer Mutter mit dem Kastenkörper verbunden werden. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Realisierung der Aufnahmevorrichtung.
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung wird auch darin gesehen, dass sowohl eine rechtwinklige als auch eine schräge Einführung der Wasserleitung in den Kastenkörper einfach und sicher realisierbar sind. Bei einer schrägen Einführung ist die Aufnahmevorrichtung entsprechend schräg an der Wandung montiert. Der Durchgang verläuft somit schräg zur Ebene der Wandung und vorzugsweise auch schräg zur Vertikalen. Bei bestimmten Anschlusssituationen kann dadurch ein unerwünschtes starkes Biegen des Leitungsrohres vermieden werden. Die Öffnung, in welcher die Aufnahmevorrichtung befestigt ist, befindet sicher hierbei in einer Ebene, die schräg zur Ebene der Wandung verläuft. Die Öffnung wird hierbei durch Wandungsbereiche gebildet, die von der Wandung weg nach innen bzw. nach aussen verlaufen. Gemäss der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Aufnahmevorrichtung einen Schieber aufweist, der in einer Stellung das Anschlussstück mit der Aufnahmevorrichtung verriegelt und in einer zweiten Stellung das Anschlussstück freigibt. Durch Bewegen des Schiebers kann nach dem Einführen des Anschlussstückes dieses mit der Anschlussvorrichtung auszugssicher verriegelt werden. Im Falle einer Revision kann entsprechend sehr einfach durch Bewegen des Schiebers das Anschlussstück wieder frei gegeben und aus der Aufnahmevorrichtung herausgezogen werden.The invention is based on the object to provide a cistern of the type mentioned, in which the assembly work to connect the water pipe with the shut-off valve is even easier.
The object is achieved in a generic cistern according to claim 1. In the cistern according to the invention, the connecting piece is thus stored in a cradle secure within the cistern in a receiving device. The shut-off valve, which is in particular an angle valve, is then thus mounted on the connecting piece on this receiving device. Since the connector is mounted inside the box body, this can be inserted through the inspection opening of the cistern, which greatly simplifies the assembly. The connection device also allows a simpler and safer connection of a protective tube. This can be used according to an embodiment of the invention with one end in the passage of the receiving device. In particular, it is provided that the protective tube can be fixed with latching means on the receiving device.
The assembly is particularly simple if, according to a development of the invention, the connection piece is detachably fastened in the receiving device and in the released state is displaceable towards the Spülkasteninnem. To connect the water pipe with the fitting, the end of the water pipe to be connected is pushed through the receiving device until this front end connects within the box body. This end can be connected, for example by pressing with the connector. The water pipe is then withdrawn until the fitting is again inside the receiver. Here, according to a development of the invention, it is provided that the connecting piece is mounted in a rotationally secure manner in the receiving device. This allows a particularly stable storage of the shut-off valve or angle valve on the box body.
According to a development of the invention it is provided that the receiving device has a receiving sleeve which is inserted into said opening and in which the connecting piece is mounted. Such a receiving sleeve can be made, for example, very inexpensive plastic. It can be used in particular by the Spülkasteninnenseite in said opening and be connected according to an embodiment of the invention by means of a nut with the box body. This allows a particularly simple and cost-effective implementation of the recording device.
A significant advantage of the invention is also seen in the fact that both a right-angled and an oblique introduction of the water pipe in the box body can be easily and safely realized. In an oblique insertion the receiving device is mounted obliquely corresponding to the wall. The passage thus runs obliquely to the plane of the wall and preferably also obliquely to the vertical. In certain connection situations, undesired strong bending of the conduit can thereby be avoided. The opening in which the receiving device is fixed, is safe in this case in a plane which extends obliquely to the plane of the wall. In this case, the opening is formed by wall regions which extend inwards or outwards away from the wall. According to the invention, it is provided that the receiving device has a slide which locks the connecting piece with the receiving device in one position and releases the connecting piece in a second position. By Moving the slider can be reliably locked after insertion of the connector this with the connection device. In the case of a revision, the connecting piece can be correspondingly very easily released by moving the slider and pulled out of the receiving device.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Aufnahmevorrichtung spülkastenaussenseitig eine Dichtmanschette aufweist, mit welcher die Wasserleitung gegenüber der Aufnahmevorrichtung abdichtbar ist. Eine solche Dichtmanschette eignet sich insbesondere zum Abdichten eines Schutzrohres gegenüber der Aufnahmevorrichtung. Der erfindungsgemässe Spülkasten ermöglicht somit auch ein einfaches und sicheres Anschliessen einer Wasserleitung, welche ein Schutzrohr und insbesondere ein Wellrohr aufweist.According to a development of the invention, provision is made for the receiving device to have, on the outside, a sealing collar, with which the water line can be sealed off from the receiving device. Such a sealing collar is particularly suitable for sealing a protective tube relative to the receiving device. The cistern according to the invention thus also enables a simple and secure connection of a water pipe, which has a protective pipe and in particular a corrugated pipe.

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.

Der in den Figuren 1 bis 3 abschnittweise gezeigte Spülkasten 1 ist vorzugsweise ein Unterputzspülkasten zum Spülen eines Wasserklosetts oder eines Urinals und besitzt einen Kastenkörper 2, der eine Seitenwandung 3 mit einer Innenseite 4 und einer Aussenseite 5 aufweist. Im innern des Kastenkörpers 2 befindet sich ein hier nicht gezeigtes an sich bekanntes Einlaufventil, das über eine hier nicht gezeigte Leitung mit einem Ventil 11 verbunden ist. Das Ventil 11 ist vorzugsweise ein Absperrventil und besitzt einen Ventilkörper 13, an dem ein Drehgriff 12 angeordnet ist, an welchem das Ventil 11 betätigt werden kann. Gemäss Figur 3 ist seitlich am Ventilkörper 13 ein Anschlussstutzen 25 angeordnet, an dem die genannte Leitung zum Einlaufventil angeschlossen, beispielsweise angeschraubt ist. Bei einer Revision kann das Ventil 11 durch Drehen des Drehgriffes 12 geschlossen werden.The in the FIGS. 1 to 3 Cistern 1 shown in sections is preferably a concealed cistern for flushing a water closet or a urinal and has a box body 2, which has a side wall 3 with an inner side 4 and an outer side 5. In the interior of the box body 2 is a not shown here per se known inlet valve, which via a line not shown here with a valve 11th connected is. The valve 11 is preferably a shut-off valve and has a valve body 13 on which a rotary handle 12 is arranged, on which the valve 11 can be actuated. According to FIG. 3 a connection piece 25 is arranged laterally on the valve body 13, to which said line connected to the inlet valve, for example screwed. In a revision, the valve 11 can be closed by turning the rotary handle 12.

Das Ventil 11 ist mit einem Anschlussstück 28 verbunden, das seinerseits mit einem Leitungsrohr 7 einer Wasserleitung 6 verbunden ist. Die Verbindung des Anschlussstückes 28 mit dem Leitungsrohr 7 kann an sich beliebig sein. Die Verbindung ist beispielsweise eine Schraubverbindung oder eine Pressverbindung. Das Leitungsrohr 7 ist hier beispielsweise und insbesondere ein Kunststoffrohr. Solche Leitungsrohre 7 sind bekannt und sind biegbar sowie plastisch verformbar. Das Leitungsrohr 7 ist an ein hier nicht gezeigtes Versorgungsleitungsnetz angeschlossen. Bei geöffnetem Ventil 11 ist somit das erwähnte hier nicht gezeigte Einlaufventil mit Druckwasser versorgt.The valve 11 is connected to a connecting piece 28, which in turn is connected to a conduit 7 of a water pipe 6. The connection of the connecting piece 28 with the conduit 7 may be arbitrary per se. The connection is, for example, a screw connection or a press connection. The conduit 7 is here, for example, and in particular a plastic tube. Such conduits 7 are known and are bendable and plastically deformable. The conduit 7 is connected to a supply line network, not shown here. When the valve 11 is open, the aforementioned inlet valve, not shown here, is thus supplied with pressurized water.

Das Anschlussstück 28, das ein- oder mehrteilig sein kann, besitzt ein Mehrkantprofil 29, und ist vorzugsweise drehsicher in einer Aufnahmehülse 16 einer Aufnahmevorrichtung 14 gelagert. Die Aufnahmehülse 16 besitzt innenseitig gemäss Figur 3 eine Mehrkantöffnung 24, die korrespondierend zum Mehrkantprofil 29 ausgebildet ist. Das Anschlussstück 28 kann in der in Figur 1 gezeigten Position somit um die Achse A nicht verdreht werden. Dies gilt entsprechend auch für das am Anschlussstück 28 angeschlossene Ventil 11 und das Leitungsrohr 7. Das Anschlussstück 28 ist in beiden Richtungen der Achse A auszugsicher mit der Aufnahmehülse 16 verbunden. Nach oben hin ist der Auszug durch einen Schieber 22 gesichert, der an der Aufnahmehülse 16 gelagert ist und der gemäss Figur 3 eine Ausnehmung 23 besitzt, die so ausgebildet ist, dass der Schieber 22 quer zur Achse A zwischen zwei Positionen verschiebbar ist. Bei der in den Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigten Position verriegelt der Schieber 22 das Anschlussstück 28 mit der Aufnahmehülse 16. Wird der Schieber 22 der Ansicht gemäss Figur 3 nach rechts oben verschoben, so wird die Verriegelung aufgehoben und das Anschlussstück 28 kann zusammen mit dem Ventil 11 und dem Leitungsrohr 7 aus der Aufnahmehülse 16 herausgezogen werden. In der Ansicht gemäss Figur 1 kann das Anschlussstück nach links oben in Richtung der Achse A ausgezogen werden, soweit dies das Leitungsrohr 7 zulässt.The connector 28, which may be one or more parts, has a polygonal profile 29, and is preferably rotatably mounted in a receiving sleeve 16 of a receiving device 14. The receiving sleeve 16 has inside according to FIG. 3 a polygonal opening 24 which is formed corresponding to the polygonal profile 29. The fitting 28 may be in the in FIG. 1 shown position thus can not be rotated about the axis A. This also applies correspondingly to the valve 11 connected to the connection piece 28 and the conduit 7. The connection piece 28 is securely connected to the receiving sleeve 16 in both directions of the axis A. At the top, the extract is secured by a slide 22, which is mounted on the receiving sleeve 16 and according to FIG. 3 has a recess 23 which is formed so that the slider 22 is displaceable transversely to the axis A between two positions. In the in the FIGS. 1 to 3 shown slide 22 locks the connector 28 with the receiving sleeve 16. If the slider 22 according to the view FIG. 3 shifted to the top right, the lock is released and the connector 28 can be pulled out of the receiving sleeve 16 together with the valve 11 and the conduit 7. In according to the view FIG. 1 If necessary, the connecting piece can be pulled out to the left in the direction of the axis A, as far as the conduit 7 permits.

Die Aufnahmehülse 16 ist gemäss Figur 1 von der Innenseite 4 her in eine Öffnung 10 der Wandung 3 eingesetzt. Ein Flansch 17 liegt an der Innenseite 4 an und wird mit einer Mutter 19 festgelegt, welche auf ein Gewinde 21 der Aufnahmehülse 16 aufgeschraubt ist. Die Aufnahmehülse 16 ist somit mit der Mutter 19 fest mit der Wandung 3 verbunden. Die Öffnung 10 befindet sich in einer Ebene, welche schräg zur Ebene der Wandung 3 verläuft. Sie wird durch Wandbereiche 26 und 27 gebildet, die wie ersichtlich sich nach aussen bzw. nach innen erstrecken. Diese Anordnung der Öffnung 10 ermöglicht eine Einführung des Leitungsrohrs 7 schräg zur Ebene der Wandung 3. Dies ermöglicht in gewissen Fällen ein Einführen des Leitungsrohres 7 ohne nicht gewünschte starke Biegungen. An Stelle der gezeigten schrägen Einführung ist jedoch auch eine Ausführung denkbar, bei welcher sich die Öffnung 10 in der Ebene der Wandung 3 befindet. Das Leitungsrohr 7 ist in diesem Fall somit im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Ebene der Wandung 3 in diese eingeführt.The receiving sleeve 16 is according to FIG. 1 inserted from the inside 4 ago in an opening 10 of the wall 3. A flange 17 abuts against the inside 4 and is fixed with a nut 19, which is screwed onto a thread 21 of the receiving sleeve 16. The receiving sleeve 16 is thus connected to the nut 19 fixed to the wall 3. The opening 10 is located in a plane which runs obliquely to the plane of the wall 3. It is formed by wall portions 26 and 27 which, as can be seen, extend outwards or inwards. This arrangement of the opening 10 allows insertion of the conduit 7 obliquely to the plane of the wall 3. This allows, in certain cases, an insertion of the conduit 7 without unwanted strong bends. However, instead of the oblique introduction shown, a design is conceivable in which the opening 10 is in the plane of the wall 3. The conduit 7 is thus introduced in this case substantially perpendicular to the plane of the wall 3 in this.

Die Aufnahmehülse 16 bildet mit der Mutter 19 und dem Schieber 22 die Aufnahmevorrichtung 14, die einen sich in Richtung der Achse A erstreckenden Durchgang 30 besitzt. In diesen Durchgang 30 ist nicht nur das Leitungsrohr 7 sondern vorzugsweise auch ein Schutzrohr 8 eingesetzt, das in den Figuren 1 und 2 lediglich abschnittweise gezeigt ist und das vorzugsweise als flexibles Wellrohr mit umlaufenden Rillen 9 ausgebildet ist. Zur Fixierung des Schutzrohres 8 im Durchgang 30 der Aufnahmevorrichtung 4 besitzt die Aufnahmehülse 16 an einem vom Anschlussstück 28 wegragenden Ende Rastzungen 18, welche in eine der Rillen 9 eingerastet sind. Beim Einschieben des Schutzrohres 8 in den Durchgang 30 wird das Schutzrohr 8 somit selbsttätig in der Endposition verrastet. Mittels einer Dichtungsmanschette 20 ist das Schutzrohr 8 gegenüber der Mutter 19 abgedichtet.The receiving sleeve 16 forms with the nut 19 and the slide 22, the receiving device 14 which has a extending in the direction of the axis A passage 30. In this passage 30, not only the conduit 7 but preferably also a protective tube 8 is inserted, which in the Figures 1 and 2 only shown in sections and which is preferably designed as a flexible corrugated pipe with circumferential grooves 9. For fixing the protective tube 8 in the passage 30 of the receiving device 4, the receiving sleeve 16 has at a projecting end of the connecting piece 28 locking tongues 18 which are engaged in one of the grooves 9. When inserting the protective tube 8 in the passage 30, the protective tube 8 is thus automatically locked in the end position. By means of a sealing sleeve 20, the protective tube 8 is sealed against the nut 19.

Nachfolgend wir der Montagevorgang zum Anschliessen der Wasserleitung 6 an das Ventil 11 näher erläutert. Die Aufnahmevorrichtung 14 ist vorzugsweise vor der Montage am Spülkasten 1 vormontiert. Zum Einführen des vorderen Endes des Leitungsrohres 7 wird das Schutzrohr 8 etwas zurückgezogen, so dass das anzuschliessende Ende vollständig durch den Durchgang 30 hindurch in diesen geschoben werden kann. Dieses Ende wird nun mit dem Ventil 11 resp. dem Anschlussstück 28 verbunden, beispielsweise mittels einer an sich bekannten Presszange. Das Rohr 7 wird nun zurückgezogen, bis sich das Anschlussstück 28 in der Aufnahmehülse 16 befindet. Nun wird der Schieber 22 in die gezeigte Position geschoben, so dass nun das Ventil 11 resp. das Anschlussstück 28 auszugsicher und drehsicher in der Aufnahmehülse 16 fixiert ist. Das bisher teilweise zurückgezogene Schutzrohr 8 wird nun durch die Dichtungsmanschette 20 hindurch in den Durchgang 30 eingeschoben. Durch die Rastzungen 18 wird das Schutzrohr 18 in Durchgang 30 fixiert. Schliesslich wird die Mutter 19 angezogen, so dass nun das Ventil 11 fest mit dem Leitungsrohr 7 und dem Kastenkörper 2 verbunden ist. Der Montagevorgang ist der gleiche bei der Ausführungsvariante, bei welcher die Wasserleitung rechtwinklig zur Ebene der Wandung 3 eingeführt wird.

The receiving device 14 is preferably pre-mounted on the cistern 1 prior to assembly. To insert the front end of the conduit 7, the protective tube 8 is slightly withdrawn, so that the end to be connected can be pushed completely through the passage 30 into this. This End is now with the valve 11, respectively. connected to the connecting piece 28, for example by means of a known pressing tongs. The tube 7 is now withdrawn until the connector 28 is in the receiving sleeve 16. Now, the slider 22 is pushed into the position shown, so that now the valve 11, respectively. the connecting piece 28 is secured in a secure and rotationally secure manner in the receiving sleeve 16. The previously partially withdrawn protective tube 8 is now inserted through the sealing sleeve 20 into the passage 30. By the locking tongues 18, the protective tube 18 is fixed in passage 30. Finally, the nut 19 is tightened, so that now the valve 11 is firmly connected to the conduit 7 and the box body 2. The assembly process is the same in the embodiment in which the water pipe is inserted at right angles to the wall 3 level. <B> LIST OF REFERENCES </ b> 1 cistern 17 flange 2 box body 18 catch tongue 3 wall 19 mother 4 inside 20 gasket 5 outside 21 thread 6 water pipe 22 pusher 7 Pipeline 23 recess 8th thermowell 24 Polygonal opening 9 grooves 25 spigot 10 opening 26 wall area 11 Valve 27 wall area 12 rotary handle 28 connector 13 valve body 29 Polygonal profile 14 cradle 30 passage 15 Sleeve (anti-rotation) 16 receiving sleeve A axis
