Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower head of a sanitary shower.
  • shower heads of sanitary showers are often designed as so-called massage showers in which jet outlet openings are opened and closed in a very fast sequence. This creates a pulsating jet that creates a massage effect when it hits the skin.
  • a shower head in which a jet outlet body is moved periodically relative to the showerhead housing.
  • a turbine is used, which is connected to the jet outlet body via a reduction gear (EP 676241).
  • jet exit elements which are made of elastic material, perform a movement, with all jet outlet elements remaining parallel to one another (WO00 / 10720).
  • the invention is based on the object to create a shower head, which allows strong radiation even with a large-area radiation without additional water consumption, thereby generating a visibly interesting for the user spray pattern.
  • the shower head according to the invention therefore contains at least two groups of jet outlet openings in a jet exit disc. Each group contains at least one jet outlet opening, but preferably a plurality of jet outlet openings. For at least two groups of jet outlet openings, at least one valve closing body is provided which opens and closes all of the jet outlet openings of a group together, the drive ensuring that this takes place continuously.
  • the spray pattern visible to the user thus shows that all the beam outlet openings in a group are switched on and off again.
  • effervescent jets from the one group of jet outlet openings can be designed synchronously, in particular alternately to the egress of effervescent jets from the other group of jet outlet openings.
  • By switching off entire groups of jet outlet openings the flow through the showerhead is lowered, thereby increasing the pressure inside the showerhead. This leads to powerful jets of water.
  • each valve closing body can only be responsible for one group or for both groups. As a result, there is greater scope for the type of pattern of the effervescent jets emerging from the jet outlet openings. It is also possible that a valve closing body cooperates with only one group of jet outlet openings and the other valve closing body with both groups of jet outlet openings.
  • the main jet direction can be influenced by the adjustment device.
  • the shower head has a manually actuatable adjusting device for changing the supply. having order between valve closing bodies and the groups of jet outlet openings.
  • This adjusting device can also serve to change the relationship of a valve closing body to the group of jet outlet openings for which it is responsible. With the adjusting device, it is possible for a user to change the appearance of the spray jet emitted by the shower head in its appearance itself. This change can be done in particular continuously.
  • each group of jet outlet openings has at least one valve opening, with which the respective valve closing body cooperates.
  • the invention may be provided in a development that more than two groups of jet outlet openings are present, these groups are in particular combined in pairs, so that for each pair of jet outlet openings at least one, but preferably two valve closing body are present, which are associated with these jet outlet openings.
  • the adjusting device is preferably designed such that it can change the association between the valve closing bodies and the jet outlet openings, which are associated with the valve closing body, together.
  • valve space to be formed in the shower head in which the valve closing bodies are arranged and from which the valve openings lead to the jet outlet openings.
  • the valve chamber is adapted to the shape of the valve closing body.
  • valve chamber in which the valve closing body are arranged, be formed circular cylindrical.
  • the valve closing bodies are then formed as discs, which rest along at least part of its circumference on the walls of the valve chamber. If they rest against the walls along the entire circumference, they can also perform the function of sealing different parts of the valve chamber.
  • valve-closing bodies are formed as discs, there is a possibility of their movement to open and close the jet outlet openings in that they are driven to rotate about a common axis.
  • valve closing bodies designed as disks have a width which is at least as great as the diameter of the valve opening or valve openings leading to the jet outlet openings.
  • valve closing body are arranged on a hollow water-flow rod, which can for example be twisted or moved. Then the water can flow through the hollow rod into certain areas of the valve chamber, from where it reaches the valve openings.
  • At least one valve closing body is designed as a disc arranged obliquely with respect to a rotation axis of the rod. Upon rotation of such a disc, the contact surface of the disc moves with the wall of the valve chamber in the axial direction back and forth and can thereby open and close a wall opening in the valve opening serve.
  • At least one valve closing body as perpendicular to a rotation axis of the rod arranged flat disc is formed.
  • the disk will then, if the rod is not moved, always in the same place.
  • valve-closing element it is likewise possible for a valve-closing element to be designed as a disk which is arranged perpendicularly but not flat with respect to a rotation axis of the rod. Again, this can change the location of contact between the edge of the disc and the wall of the valve space to some extent.
  • a disk not only is it possible for a disk to abut the wall of the valve space along its entire circumference, but also for a disk to have a gap at its circumference, so that there is an area where it does not rest against the wall is applied.
  • the circumferential length of the gap can be different. Also in this way opening and closing of a valve opening in the wall of the valve chamber is possible.
  • the adjusting device can be actuated to such an extent that the valve-closing bodies no longer interact with the jet outlet openings so that a complete opening of all the jet outlet openings is achieved.
  • the adjusting device changes the frequency of the opening and closing of the jet outlet openings, without the drive being changed.
  • the hollow rod between each two valve-closing bodies has an outlet opening.
  • the hollow rod does not have an outlet opening between all the valve closing bodies, so that in this way the water can only be directed to certain points of the valve chamber.
  • the adjusting device can be designed such that it displaces, for example, the hollow rod which forms the axis in the longitudinal direction.
  • the drive may comprise a turbine and a reduction gear.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shower from above
  • Figure 2 shows schematically the interior of the shower of Figure 1
  • Figure 4 shows a further section through the shower
  • Figure 5 to 10 of Figure 3 corresponding sections in a respective another position of the adjusting device
  • Figure 11 is a representation corresponding to Figure 2 a
  • the shower shown in simplified form in Figure 1 includes a shower head with a flat cylindrical showerhead housing 1, which has a jet disk 2 on a lower side in Figure 1 side.
  • a jet disk 2 on a lower side in Figure 1 side.
  • the jet disk 2 a plurality of mutually parallel rows of jet outlet openings 3 are arranged.
  • the showerhead housing 1 On one side, the showerhead housing 1 has an inlet connection 4, which serves to connect the showerhead housing to a supply line.
  • an actuator 6 is mounted on the showerhead housing 1, another approach 5 out, in which an actuator 6 is mounted. The actuator 6 can be grasped and rotated by a user.
  • FIG. 2 shows schematically the interior of this shower from the opposite side, in Figure 1 so from above.
  • the interior of the showerhead housing has been partially broken off.
  • the rod 7 is rotatably mounted and has pairs of valve closing bodies 8.
  • These valve closing bodies 8 are accommodated in an indicated valve space 9. They are with their edge, more precisely their peripheral surface 10, on the wall of this valve chamber 9 at.
  • the just to be seen in Figure 2 right end of the rod 7 is provided with an outer toothing 11.
  • the rod 7 has a plurality of openings 12, of which an opening 12 can be seen in FIG.
  • the outstanding from the approach 5 actuator 6 has an external thread 13, with which it is screwed into the lug 5. The actuator 6 can therefore be rotated by a user.
  • FIG. 4 shows a section through the showerhead housing, wherein the section is placed in a plane parallel to the jet disk 2.
  • the jet disk 2 or the jet bottom there are a plurality of channels 14 which extend in a straight line and are in communication with the jet outlet openings 3.
  • a single valve opening 15 indicated here in each case leads out of the valve space 9 in such a channel 14.
  • the valve space 9 is designed as a cylindrical channel.
  • the rod 7 is mounted at its left end in an opening in the jacket wall of the showerhead housing 1.
  • the end face of the rod 7 protrudes through this opening, so that it can be touched by the tip 16 of the screw 6 forming the actuating element.
  • the rod 7 is, as already mentioned, hollow, but not its left end. It thus contains in its interior a blind hole 17. This blind hole 17 is thus open on the side facing away from the actuating element 6.
  • the already mentioned valve closing body 8 are attached or formed integrally with her.
  • a valve closing body 8 is formed as a plate 18 extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rod 7, which rests along its entire peripheral surface on the inner wall of the valve chamber 9.
  • This disc 18 simultaneously seals the interior of the valve space in two parts.
  • each perpendicular to the rod 7 extending disc 18 is an oblique arranged to the longitudinal axis disc 19. Also, this disc 19 abuts along the entire circumferential surface of the inner wall of the valve chamber 9.
  • the inlet openings 15 are arranged for the channels 14, which lead to the jet outlet openings 3.
  • the outside of the showerhead housing 1 arranged in the inlet nozzle 4 end of the rod 7 is provided with an external toothing 11.
  • the external teeth 11 of the rod 7 meshes a gear 20 which is driven by a turbine 21.
  • the turbine 21 is rotated by the entering through the inlet slots 22 in the connection piece 4 water in rotation. It is a reduction gear, so that the rod 7 is rotated relatively slowly. That the turbine 21 driving water then enters the interior of the rod 7 and from there through the openings 12 in the valve chamber 9. At the same time, the water acts on the rightmost disc 18, so that the rod 7 in contact with the tip 16 of the actuating element 6 is pressed.
  • the oblique disks 17 In the position shown in FIG. 6, in which the rod 7 is displaced a little further to the left, the oblique disks 17 in turn only cooperate with the right jet outlet openings of the groups of jet outlet openings, in such a way that the peripheral surface of on the left over the valve opening 15 to the right and back again. In this case, therefore, the water will emerge from the respectively right jet outlet openings in a frequency doubled in relation to the position of FIG.
  • valve disks extending at right angles to the rod 7 have hitherto served only to separate the valve chamber 9, they now also act as valve-closing bodies in the position of FIG.
  • the vertical disks 18 each close the right-hand valve opening 15, while the oblique disks 17 open and close the respectively left-hand valve opening, namely twice per revolution.
  • FIG. 11 which forms a schematic representation corresponding to FIG.
  • left discs 27 and right discs 28 Since it is no longer possible to distinguish oblique discs and vertical discs in this embodiment, it is referred to here as left discs 27 and right discs 28. All disks do not extend over the entire circumference, leaving a gap free.
