Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for ventilating effervescent jets.
- a sanitary outlet unit with an outlet fitting in which a ventilation device is provided for aerating the water jet.
- This ventilation device is designed as an insert cartridge or cartridge and can be used in the leading to the water outlet pipe or fitting section (DE 102006021801).
- the invention is based on the object to propose an arrangement for ventilation of water jets, which does not have the mentioned disadvantages and is particularly suitable for subsequent attachment, without an optical impression of a sanitary fitting is impaired.
- the invention proposes an arrangement with the features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
- the ventilation device is thus designed according to the invention as a self-contained insert, wherein this insert contains both the water passageway and the ventilation channel. Due to the flow of water through the ventilation duct, the air is sucked in, which then causes the water to be aerated.
- the ventilation device can be retrofitted, it can also be used by the different size design for a variety of applications. This also makes it relatively easy to perform an adaptation to different flow resistance.
- the air intake opening leads to the outside of the ventilation device in a ventilated space of the connection or the sanitary fitting.
- the insert can thus completely in a recording of the sanitary fitting or the connection of a sanitary fitting are housed. It does not need to have a direct connection to the outside itself.
- the ventilation device has a backflow preventer in the insert. This is to be taken into account, among other things, the fact that in an existing installation, narrow the beam outlet openings of a shower head or the water supply within the shower head by calcifications. This restriction would lead to an increase in pressure and then to a return flow through the intake opening.
- the non-return valve can be arranged and designed so that it acts only on the ventilation device.
- a backflow preventer is arranged outside the suction opening of the ventilation device. It may then be configured to affect a connection between the location where it is inserted and the suction opening of the insert.
- the arrangement has a flow restrictor.
- this can advantageously be located in front of the point where the ventilation takes place.
- the insert forming the ventilation device has a receiving space in which a flow can be included limiters, this flow restrictor can be designed as an insert.
- the ventilation device is formed in two parts from an upper part and a lower part. These two parts can be coordinated so that runs at their separation point part of the ventilation duct.
- connection of a shower head housing for example a joint-like connection, around which an overhead shower can be pivoted.
- the insert containing the ventilation device is inserted into a hose connection nipple.
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a ball joint connection for a head shower
- FIG. 3 shows a section corresponding to FIG. 1 in a further embodiment
- Figure 4 is a section corresponding to Figures 1 and 3 in yet another embodiment.
- FIG. 1 shows an axial section through a connection for an overhead shower, similar to that which could be used in the aforementioned US Pat. No. 5,154,135.
- a screw connection 1 is provided at the upper end in FIG. 1, with which the connection nipple can be screwed onto the pipe end of a domestic installation or a connection sheet or the like protruding from the wall.
- a contact surface 2 for a seal 3 is formed, which at the same time also has a sieve 4 in the example shown.
- a cylindrical interior 5 is formed, which widens once again stepwise just before the shoulder 2 and there forms a further contact shoulder 6.
- the actual ball outer surface 7 is indicated only aborted.
- an insert 8 is arranged, which contains a lower part 9, an upper part 10 and a flow restrictor 11.
- This insert 8 is also shown in FIG.
- the flow restrictor 11 is designed as an insert and arranged in a receiving opening 14. It contains in a conventional manner means to close passages more and more with increasing flow. This will not be explained in detail.
- the water passageway 15 includes a first portion 15a in the upper part 10 of the insert and a second part 15b in the lower part 9 of the insert. Both parts are aligned axially.
- the lower part 9 engages with a sleeve portion 16 around a part of the upper part 10 and covers its outer side over this part.
- the lower part 9 forms a bottom, on which the upper part is supported along its circumference with a ring 17.
- a cylindrical space 19 opens, which narrows and merges into a blind hole 20.
- a radially extending bore 21 leads to the outside of the upper part and into a space between the upper part 10 and the sleeve part 16.
- a suction opening 22 is formed at the upper end of the sleeve part 16.
- the cylindrical space 19 accommodates a ball 23 which, when moved upwards, closes the blind hole 20. This ball 23 forms a backflow preventer.
- the insert When the insert is inserted into the inner space 5 of the connection joint, the flow of water through the passage opening 15 causes air to be sucked through the ventilation channel 19, 20, 21. This air is taken from the interior of the connection joint, which is connected via not shown in the figure 1 openings with the outside.
- the insert thus contains a ventilation device, a backflow preventer for the ventilation device and a flow restrictor.
- FIG. 3 shows another possibility.
- the lower part 9 engages with a sleeve portion 16 to the upper part 10.
- the upper end of the sleeve member 16 thus forms a suction port 22.
- a deformable collar 26 is arranged, which then, if no air is sucked, deformed outwardly and the connection between the bore 25 and the suction port 22 interrupts. When air is sucked in, it deforms inwards and opens the connection.
- this collar 26 also abuts against the wall of the interior 5 and thereby closes the opening of the bore 25.
- the backflow preventer is arranged at a different location.
- FIG. 4 A similar device is shown in FIG 4.
- a collar 26 between a radial bore 25 of the connection joint and a suction port 22 of the insert is arranged.
- This collar acts in the same way as in the embodiment of Figure 3.
- connection joint for example for an overhead shower
- this insert which is shown in simplified form in Figure 2
- the insert can also be used in the shower head itself.
