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 beam that creates a massage effect when hitting 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 ).
  • a shower head with a housing and at least two groups of jet outlet openings is known, from which pulsating rays emerge.
  • turbines with valve closing bodies are provided ( DE 10393869 T5 ).
  • 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 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.
  • a valve space is 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 for opening and closing 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 which 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 serve for opening and closing a wall opening in the valve opening.
  • At least one valve closing body is designed as perpendicular to a rotation axis of the rod arranged flat disc.
  • the disk will then, if the rod is not moved, always in the same place.
  • valve closing body arranged as perpendicular to a rotational axis of the rod, but not even Disc is formed. 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 against the wall of the valve space along its entire circumference, but also for a disk to have a gap at its periphery, so that there is a region where it does not bear against the wall.
  • 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 is actuated so far that the valve closing body no longer interact with the jet outlet openings, so that a complete opening of all 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 adjusting device When the valve closing body is rotated about a common axis be, according to the invention, the adjusting device may be designed such that it shifts, for example, the hollow rod which forms the axis in the longitudinal direction.
  • the drive may comprise a turbine and a reduction gear.
  • FIG. 2 shows now schematically the inside of this shower from the opposite side, in FIG. 1 So from the top.
  • the interior of the shower head housing is partially broken off.
  • the rod 7 is rotatably mounted and has pairs of valve closing bodies 8.
  • This valve closing body 8 are housed in an indicated valve chamber 9. They are with their edge, more precisely their peripheral surface 10, on the wall of this valve chamber 9 at.
  • This in FIG. 2 just to be seen right end of the rod 7 is provided with external teeth 11.
  • the rod 7 has a plurality of openings 12, of which in FIG. 2 an opening 12 can be seen.
  • 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 laid 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. From the valve space 9 leads in each case a single valve opening 15 indicated here in such a channel 14.
  • the valve chamber 9 is formed 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 closure member 8 is formed as extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rod 7 disc 18 which rests along its entire peripheral surface on 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.
  • FIG. 7 the rod 7 has been shifted a little further to the left.
  • the oblique discs 19 cooperate with both the left and the right valve openings 15, and in turn.
  • the position of the figure seven is just closed the left inlet opening and the right inlet opening 15 is opened. After half a turn this is just the opposite.
  • valve disks extending at right angles to the rod 7 have hitherto served only to separate the valve chamber 9, they now act in the position of the valve FIG. 8 also as a valve closing body with. Because in FIG. 8 the vertical discs 18 each close the right valve opening 15, while the oblique discs 19 open and close each left valve opening, twice per revolution.
  • FIG. 11 which is one of the FIG. 2 corresponding schematic representation forms.
  • left discs 27 and right discs 28 are used here. All disks do not extend over the entire circumference, leaving a gap free.
  • the left valve ports 15 are alternately opened and closed by the right discs 28 while the right valve ports 15 are constantly opened.
