Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mixer tap, in particular for cold and hot water, with at least one turntable for setting the temperature of an exiting volume flow.
  • the temperature turntable of thermostatic mixers is usually provided with a bar scale and numerical indication of the selected temperature similar to a thermometer. From this, the set temperature can be read exactly. However, it is not intuitively instantly recognizable but can only be judged by thinking. In addition, if the numbers are replaced by spaced groups of dots of increasing numbers of the same color and size, counting in excess of the fifth group is required in advance.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a mixer tap of the type specified, not accurate reading of the temperature as a numerical value, but spontaneous, intuitive estimating the set temperature range much finer than blue and red for the extremes cold and warm, but in coherence , allowed over the entire setting range and the recognition of the required adjustment direction for a correction.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention by a marking in the form of at least one temperature analogy grouped into a scale, visually distinguishable fields, wherein from a preferred direction of use direction depending on
  • Rotary position of the turntable at least one of the fields at a pre-markable position is particularly clearly detected (angle W).
  • the control range can be reproduced in an analog and intuitively detectable, segmented or continuous scale of fields, of which depending on the position of the turntable, ie the set temperature, the user one of the most obvious, the temperature or the Temperature range characterized.
  • the correct direction for adjusting adjustments is intuitively recognizable. In the course of use, the assignment of field and temperature is getting better and better.
  • the temperature analogy is based on principles of bionics, i. in a naturally plausible, obvious familiar way, chosen. As a result, the assignment temperature / field is immediately given spontaneously without training.
  • the analogy may be in the scale by steadily rising or falling
  • Brightness levels or saturation levels are the highest temperature is the most intense color - saturation increases with temperature - or the strongest contrast is assigned, ie. H. on a light background, the darkest color is the strongest. Saturation levels can be generated by differently dense grid with a printing ink.
  • a continuous scale is z. B. applied by screen printing either directly or on a support member that can be glued or shrunk as a ring.
  • Monochrome fields can also be sprayed or stamped from plastic as separate parts and then inserted or glued into recesses of the turntable.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a Mischbatte- rie inventive, wherein the preferred direction of use direction 4 in the direction of
  • Auslaufarms is indicated as an arrow, which can vary in the illustrated angle W depending on the eye level
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 each show a further perspective view of other embodiments of a mixer according to the invention directly from a preferred direction of use view, wherein for the sake of simplicity, only the housing with the turntable is shown omitting the outlet arm.
  • FIG. 1 an embodiment of a mixer tap according to the invention with a housing 12 and a rotatable about its axis of rotation 10 turntable 1 for setting the temperature of an exiting flow rate is shown.
  • the turntable 1 carries at the bottom of its outer circumferential surface 8 a mark in the form of a concentric to its axis of rotation 10 scale 2 of eleven equally spaced at an angle of 30 °, punctiform fields 3,30 in each case a color according to the detail described above Example with two bionic temperature analogies, with double distance between the first and last field 3,30 of the scale 2 for the clarification of the extremes and possible direction of rotation.
  • Panel 30 identifies the lowest temperature according to bionic analogies of the most delicate color, ie highest brightness, and least wavelength color. It is located in preferred direction of use direction 4 - the user is standing or sitting in front of the mixer tap, the outlet arm is directed towards him - which can vary depending on body size and - position in the range of angle W, in the user most obvious position 5 under the most favorable angle of horizontal 0 ° and vertically between 0 and 85 ° Direction of use 4 - angle W - and thus appears most clearly for each user compared to all other fields. This makes it particularly clear to him, from his perspective.
  • FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of a mixer tap according to the invention, shown somewhat simplified from an exemplary direction of use direction, with a continuous scale 2, whose quadrilateral fields 30, rotate around the lower edge of the outer jacket surface 8 of the turntable 1, also as a concentric ring about its axis of rotation 10.
  • 31, 32 are lined up with a gradient to a band directly to each other.
  • the color of adjacent fields 31, 32 is identical at its boundary 6.
  • the field 30 is again for each user of course and obviously installingeaudst on the additionally pre-marked by a triangular arrow 11 position 5 under the most favorable angle of horizontal 0 ° particularly clearly detectable.
  • Fig. 3 In contrast to the two previous embodiments is in Fig. 3 - again directly from an exemplary direction of use direction - the concentric to the axis of rotation 10 scale 2 stationary on the outer edge of the upper end face of the housing 12 directly below a triangular window 7, which on the End face 9 of the turntable 1 is arranged in its edge region.
  • the window 7 determines the position 5, which in FIG. 3 is closest to the user, but changes its position when the turntable 1 is rotated.
  • the window 7 allows only the field 30 located in its area to appear, whereby exactly this is particularly noticeable to the user.
  • a scale 2 is a continuous or segmented scale
  • the window 7 correspondingly triangular, monochrome fields 30 according to the embodiment of FIG. 2 are lined up directly to each other.

Abstract

L'actionneur rotatif (1) pour régler la température d'un débit volumique sortant, par exemple d'eau mitigée, est marqué de champs (3, 30) visuellement discernables groupés en une graduation de préférence annulaire (2), conformément à une analogie de température notamment bionique, sachant qu'à partir d'une direction (4) préférée d'observation lors de l'utilisation, au moins un des champs (30) est, selon la position de rotation de l'actionneur rotatif (1), particulièrement nettement visible (angle W) en une position (5) pouvant être pré-repérée. Cela peut s'effectuer au moyen d'une position relative prédestinée et/ou d'une identification de la position (5), ou d'une fenêtre. Les températures possibles sont reproduites, conformément à une analogie de température notamment bionique, de manière approximativement proportionnelle sur une graduation (2) continue ou segmentée par des échelons de luminosité, de saturation et/ou de teinte de longueur d'onde donnée, ou par des couleurs mixtes, et/ou par des échelons de taille des champs. L'association habituelle rouge/bleu est conservée.
