Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve arrangement on a flushing device, for example for a urinal, with a flushing valve, which has a valve body which has an inlet channel which can be connected to a supply line and an outflow channel which can be connected to a flushing line.
  • the flush valve is usually a controllable closing valve that can be opened to trigger a flush, for example by pressing a button.
  • Rinse water flows in a rinse from the supply line in the water channel of the purge valve and the purge line in the corresponding sanitary article.
  • the flush valve is preceded by a throttle valve.
  • drinking water hygiene is essential.
  • stagnant water should be avoided, as it can accumulate harmful bacteria during prolonged non-use.
  • An essential aspect is also the space requirement.
  • the height should be as small as possible. In an arrangement on a frame, a height adjustment should also be possible.
  • a valve arrangement of this kind is known in the art, for example by the EP-A-0 794 371 known.
  • This has a valve port or an inlet channel, which is aligned horizontally to the side and allows the connection to the connection or the supply line.
  • the outflow channel is oriented vertically downwards, which should make it possible for the flushing pipe leading to the urinal, bidet or the like to be easily connected in the same vertical direction.
  • the inflow and outflow are thus arranged at right angles to each other. You are also in a vertical plane.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a valve assembly of the type mentioned, which is easier to install and meets even higher demands on drinking water hygiene.
  • the said channels and also the connections of the supply line and the purge line are the same when actuated from above as well as when actuated from the front.
  • the valve assembly is rotated to switch between the two types of actuation only by 90 ° about a horizontal axis.
  • the purge line can be laid so that a region adjacent to the outflow channel extends horizontally and the subsequent regions obliquely downward. This course is also maintained when the purge valve is moved up or down. In every installation situation, this ensures that no stagnant water can form in the flushing line.
  • the valve assembly can be easily connected to a passage. This is possible both with an actuation from above as well as with an actuation from the front.
  • the linear arrangement of the inflow and outflow allows optimal water flow and in particular a water guide with less deflection. In particular, the formation of a so-called "water bag" in the purge line can be avoided.
  • the valve is arranged in a mounting box, which has a front side, on which an inspection opening for the valve is arranged and which runs in a horizontal or vertical plane, wherein the inflow channel and the outflow channel extend parallel to this front side.
  • the flushing line is a flexible pipeline. This allows a particularly simple adjustment of the installation height.
  • the flexible pipe automatically adapts to the appropriate height.
  • the flushing line as seen in the flow direction, to have a first, essentially horizontal section, a subsequent second arcuate section and a third section extending obliquely downwards.
  • This enables a particularly optimal water supply and at the same time a high drinking water hygiene.
  • the invention has a passage which extends substantially parallel and at a distance to the inflow and outflow channel.
  • sanitary articles for example urinals, can be connected in a simple manner to such a passage line.
  • connection for the purge line and the supply line are arranged on the installation box at opposite mutually parallel walls. This makes a simple connection possible both with an operation from above and from the front.
  • the valve arrangement can thus be used optionally for an operation from above as well as for a front operation.
  • the assembly is essentially the same in each case.
  • the valve assembly 1 is according to the FIGS. 1 to 5 arranged in a mounting box 7, which has an opening 23, opposite walls 21 and 22 and a bottom wall 29.
  • the valve assembly 1 has a per se known closing valve 18, which is for example a diaphragm valve. This is preceded by a throttle valve, not shown here.
  • the actuation of the valve can be done for example via an actuating key, not shown here or via an actuating button. But there are also other operations, especially remote operations, automatic electromagnetic actuation and the like possible.
  • the valve assembly 1 can be connected to a supply line 2, according to FIG. 1 is a transit line. At this supply line 2 still further valve assemblies 1 may be connected.
  • the supply line 2 is connected via a valve connection 4 with the valve.
  • the valve port 4 is formed for example as a screw or press connection. This is arranged on the outside of the wall 21.
  • the valve connection 4 is formed for example as a screw or press connection. This is arranged on the outside of the wall 21.
  • this valve body 30 is connected to a pipe part 17, which is preferably removable and is connected to a valve port 5, which is arranged on the outside of the wall 22.
  • This valve connection 5 is also formed, for example, as a screw connection and connects the valve 18 with a purge line 3.
  • the pipe part 17 forms a FIG. 1 indicated outflow 20.
  • the inflow 19 and the outflow 20 are in an in FIG. 6 indicated substantially straight line 33, which is located in a horizontal plane.
  • the valve assembly 1 is according to the FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 attached to a frame 11, the vertical struts 12 and trusses 28 and 15 has.
  • the traverse 28 is fixedly mounted in each case at the upper end of the two vertical struts 12.
  • At this Traverse 28 of the mounting box 7 is mounted with the valve assembly 1.
  • the opening 23 of the installation box 7 is directed upward. The operation is thus done from above.
  • a Bautikkasten 8 which forms an inspection opening. This is with fastening screws 9 using a screwdriver 10 ( FIG. 3 ) attached to the installation box 7.
  • the upper part of the Bauschutzkastens 8 is cut off after installation in a known manner with a knife.
  • the opening 23 is directed forward. Accordingly, the Bauschutzkasten 8 is placed on the mounting box 7 from the front.
  • the valve 18 is accessible from the front or from above.
  • the purge line 3 is preferably a flexible conduit and has a first substantially horizontally extending portion 3b, a bow 3a and an obliquely downwardly extending portion 3c, which has an opening 31 which is located within a flushing port 6, which on the traverse 15th is attached.
  • the flushing line can be connected to a urinal, a toilet bowl or a bidet bowl, not shown here.
  • the valve 18 When the valve 18 is open, rinse water flows through the opening 31 into the corresponding sanitary article which is fastened to the front side of the frame 11 and which has a disposal line, not shown here, which is fixed to the frame 11 with a pipe clamp 16.
  • the traverse 15 and thus the opening 31 can according FIG. 6 be moved by adjusting the cross member 15 is limited upward and downward.
  • the adjustment 26 indicated by a double arrow.
  • the uppermost possible position of the flushing connection 6 ' is located in a comparatively short distance 32 from the valve arrangement 1.
  • the length of the flushing line 3 is here adapted to the height of the flushing connection 6.
  • the flushing line 3 can be laid in such a way that the region 3c extends obliquely downward or at least horizontally.
  • the sheet 3a is substantially maintained, this is supported on a wiring 25 which is fixed to one of the vertical struts.
  • the cable guide 25 may be adjustably secured to the vertical strut 12.
  • the actuation takes place from above on an actuating device 27.
  • said course of the purge line 3 is exactly the same when actuated from the front. Since, as mentioned, the distance 32 can be comparatively small, the actuator 27 can be arranged correspondingly deep. The frame 11 can thus with comparatively be formed small height. What is particularly advantageous for producing a tray.
  • line 2 is not a passage. However, it could also be designed here as a passage and serve here, not shown sanitary facilities. For performing a trained as a passage line 2 through the mounting box 7, this has in the walls 21 and 22 each have an opening 24 ( FIG. 5 ) on.
