Abstract

Un dispositif de régulation pour un orifice d'écoulement d'eau, en particulier pour une plomberie sanitaire, présente une douille (20) cylindrique dotée d'un axe central du cylindre. La douille (20) est conçue pour être placée sur ou dans l'orifice d'écoulement d'eau. Une plaque support (21) est disposée perpendiculairement à l'axe de la douille (20). Un élément d'étranglement et de régulation (30) peut se déplacer par rapport à la plaque support (21) de façon rotative autour de l'axe et en direction de l'axe. Grâce à l'élément d'étranglement et de régulation (30), de l'eau (10) peut s'écouler d'un côté de la plaque support (21) jusqu'à l'autre côté de la plaque support (21). L'élément d'étranglement et de régulation (30) présente un dispositif (60) pour réduire de manière précise l'écoulement d'eau. Un espace de répartition (12) annulaire pour l'eau (10) est limité par la plaque support (21), la douille (20) et l'élément d'étranglement et de régulation (30). De l'eau (10) sortant des ouvertures de l'élément d'étranglement et de régulation (30) peut s'écouler à l'intérieur de l'espace de répartition (12). De l'eau (10) peut sortir de l'espace de répartition (12) pour arriver à une sortie d'eau (14) de la douille (20).
