Definitions

  • the invention relates to a jet regulator.
  • Jet regulators of the type mentioned are usually produced as Einsetzpatrone that can be mounted in the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting to form a homogeneous and non-squirting water jet.
  • Such jet regulators are used either as aerated jet regulators or as laminar, i. unventilated functional units made.
  • the previously known jet regulators usually have a circular cross-section, but flat jet regulators are increasingly being developed and manufactured, which are intended to produce a flat, band-shaped water jet which is dimensionally stable over as long a route as possible. Due to the non-circular design, no external thread is usually possible on the outer circumference of such flat jet regulators in order to be able to secure the jet regulator in the region of the water outlet of an outlet fitting.
  • the jet regulator according to the invention has a distributor surface with a multiplicity of throughflow holes.
  • This distributor surface is intended for distributing the water jet. Since the distributor surface only distributes the water jet, but does not oppose it with excessive resistance, even with comparatively high inflow-side pressure, no large holding forces build up which have to be transmitted to the wall of the dashboard.
  • the distributor surface is connected downstream of a baffle arranged in a central region of the beam cross-section, which additionally deflects the water jet from the central region into the edge regions of the clear flow cross-section.
  • the baffle are in turn downstream flow guide walls in the flow direction, which form the water flowing through to a homogeneous expiring jet of water and equalize.
  • the jet regulator according to the invention is characterized by a homogeneous spray pattern. Since the constituents of the jet regulator according to the invention do not oppose the water jet with excessive resistance, the effort required to secure the jet regulator according to the invention in the fitting housing can be considerably reduced.
  • the jet regulator in a flow guide with a flow area which is constant on the inflow side and in particular rectangular. It is advantageous, however, if the jet regulator of a cross-sectional widening of the flow guide in the flow direction immediately follows. is switched. Since the distributor surface can also absorb the high water pressure of a water jet, which may also be concentrated on a comparatively small jet cross-section, such a concentrated water jet can also be distributed over a comparatively large outlet cross-section with the aid of the jet regulator according to the invention.
  • a homogeneous spray pattern is favored if the flow guide walls are arranged approximately parallel to each other.
  • Good flow guidance in the region of the flow guide walls is favored if at least two opposite circumferential sides of the baffle surface and / or the inflow-side narrow edges of the flow guide walls projecting beyond the baffle surface have a frustoconical side contour.
  • the flow guide walls via at least one, preferably central and in particular extending through the longitudinal center axes of the flow guide walls connecting wall connected to each other.
  • a homogeneous and non-spraying jet pattern is favored if the connecting and / or flow guide walls, at least in a downstream part, in flow direction taper and / or rounded at their downstream narrow edges.
  • connection and flow guide walls and the baffle are arranged in the sleeve interior of a sleeve-shaped jet regulator housing and preferably formed integrally.
  • a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the distributor surface is designed as a perforated plate which can be placed on the jet regulator housing.
  • a frictional attachment of the jet regulator according to the invention offers the additional advantage that in this way It is also possible to achieve a seal between the jet regulator and the inner circumference of the armature. Since no high inflow-side pressures build up in the jet regulator according to the invention, it is also possible to dispense with a separate soft seal.
  • a secure frictional connection between the inner circumference of the fitting housing on the one hand and the jet regulator according to the invention on the other hand is favored if at least one, the inner circumference of the water outlet acting on the spring bar is provided on the outer circumference of the jet regulator housing.
  • Such a spring bar can pressurize the valve body on the inner peripheral side with stable frictional engagement.
  • the holding forces can be substantially improved by means of such a spring bar, when the spring bar in the position of use additionally also positively engages behind an undercut on the fitting inner circumference.
  • a peripheral spring bar is arranged on the outer circumference of the jet regulator housing, preferably downstream.
  • a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the jet regulator is designed as a laminar jet regulator.
  • Fig. 1 shows a laminar shown in a longitudinal section
  • Jet regulator in the water spout of a sanitary toilet in the water spout of a sanitary toilet
  • Outlet fitting is frictionally held, with a distance in front of the jet regulator a flow volume regulator is provided,
  • FIG. 3 shows the jet adjuster, which frictionally engages on the inner circumference of the water outlet, in the region of a spring bar formed on the outer peripheral side by the jet regulator housing,
  • Fig. 5 shows the jet regulator of Figure 1 to 4 in a perspective partial section
  • Fig. 6 shows the jet regulator of Figure 1 to 5 in a perspective view.
  • a jet regulator 1 which is designed here as a laminar flat jet regulator.
  • the flat jet regulator 1 has a sleeve-shaped Strahlreglerge- housing 2, the light cross section has a greater width compared to the depth.
  • a band-shaped and over a comparatively large distance dimensionally stable water jet is formed which has a homogeneous and non-splashing spray pattern.
  • the jet regulator 1 has a distributor surface 3 designed as a perforated plate with a multiplicity of throughflow holes 4.
  • This distributor surface 3 is intended for distributing the water jet, the jet cross section of the water jet flowing out of the distributor surface 3 being in this embodiment a multiple of the inflow-side jet cross section. Since the distributor surface 3 only distributes the water jet, but does not oppose it with excessive resistance, even with comparatively high inflow pressure of the inflowing medium, no large holding forces build up, which have to be transferred to the wall of the armature.
  • the distributor surface 3 is connected downstream of a baffle surface 5, which is arranged in a central region of the jet cross section and which additionally deflects the water jet from the central region into the edge regions of the clear flow cross section.
  • the baffle 5 are in turn downstream flow guide walls 6 in the flow direction, which form the water flowing through to a homogeneous expiring jet of water and equalize.
  • the jet regulator 1 shown here is therefore characterized by a homogeneous jet pattern. Since the components 3, 5 and 6 of the jet regulator 1 oppose the water jet no excessive resistance, the effort required to secure the jet regulator 1 in the fitting housing 1 can be significantly reduced.
  • the jet stream 1 is immediately downstream of a cross-sectional widening of the flow guide in the flow direction.
  • the jet regulator 1 still in the narrowed th partial portion of the flow guide - a flow rate regulator 10 upstream.
  • the flow guide walls 6 are arranged approximately parallel to each other.
  • the flow guide walls 6 are connected to each other via a central and extending through the longitudinal center plane of the flow guide walls 6 connecting wall 7.
  • the connecting wall 7 and the flow guide walls 6 taper in the flow direction and are each rounded at their downstream narrow edges, in order to promote a homogeneous jet pattern of the exiting water jet.
  • FIG. 5 shows that the connecting wall 7 and the flow guide walls 6 as well as the impact surface 5 integrally formed on the inflow side are arranged in the sleeve interior of the sleeve-shaped jet regulator housing 2 and formed integrally there.
  • the distributor surface 3 is formed as an attachable to the jet regulator housing 2 perforated plate.
  • the jet regulator shown here is releasably insertable with its jet regulator housing 2 into the water outlet 8 of a sanitary outlet fitting and is held in a friction-locked manner in the position of use.
  • the inner circumference of the water outlet 8 acting on the spring bar 9 is provided. It can be advantageous if the spring bar 9 practically engages behind a narrow undercut on the inner circumference of the fitting housing in a form-fitting manner.
  • the angled in the direction of the outlet end side spring bar 9 is in use position on the inner circumference of the water outlet 8 under bias.
  • the jet regulator 1 is designed as an unventilated jet regulator and since an annular gap for supplying air between the outer circumference of the jet regulator housing and the valve inner circumference is unnecessary, the jet regulator housing 2 is practically on its entire circumference of the housing housing on the inner circumference of the fitting housing.
  • the jet regulator 1 shown here is characterized by a homogeneous spray pattern, wherein the jet regulator 1 can be used easily detachable without additional fastening means in the water outlet 8 a sanitary outlet fitting.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un régulateur de jet (1) qui présente une surface de distribution (3) avec une pluralité de trous d'écoulement (4). Cette surface de distribution (3) est conçue pour distribuer le jet d'eau. La surface de distribution (3) est suivie par une surface de rebond (5) disposée dans une zone centrale de la section transversale du jet, laquelle dévie aussi en plus le jet d'eau de la zone centrale vers les zones de bordure de la section transversale d'écoulement utile. La surface de rebond (5) est à son tour suivie par des parois de guidage de l'écoulement (6) disposées dans le sens de l'écoulement, lesquelles façonnent et homogénéisent l'eau qui s'écoule en un jet sortant homogène. Le régulateur de jet (1) conforme à l'invention se caractérise par un aspect homogène du jet. Comme ses composants n'opposent aucune résistance excessive au jet d'eau, l'effort nécessaire pour bloquer le régulateur de jet (1) conforme à l'invention dans le corps de robinetterie peut être considérablement réduit.
