Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine sanitäre Funktionseinheit mit einer hülsenförmigen Einsetzkartusche, die zum Formen des austretenden Wasserstrahls in den rohrförmigen Armaturenauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur einsetzbar ist, wobei die Einsetzkartusche an zumindest einer ihrer Stirnseiten einen Wasserzulauf und am Kartuschenumfang einen Wasserauslauf aufweist und wobei im Wasserauslauf ein Strahlformer vorgesehen ist, der quer und vorzugsweise rechtwinklig zur Kartuschenlängsachse orientierte Strömungsführungswände hat.The invention relates to a sanitary functional unit with a sleeve-shaped insertion cartridge, which is used for shaping the outgoing water jet in the tubular fitting outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, wherein the Einsetzkartusche on at least one of its end faces a water inlet and the cartridge periphery has a water outlet and wherein provided in the water outlet a beam shaper is that has transverse and preferably perpendicular to the cartridge longitudinal axis oriented flow guide walls.

Strahlregler, die in den Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur einsetzbar sind, sind bereits in den verschiedensten Ausführungen bekannt. Solche Strahlregler werden verwendet, um das aus der Auslaufarmatur austretende Wasser zu einem belüfteten oder unbelüfteten, vor allem aber zu einem homogenen und nicht-spritzenden Wasserstrahl zu formen. Die vorbekannten Strahlregler weisen dazu im Bereich ihres stirnseitigen Wasserzulaufs einen Strahlzerleger auf, der das in die hülsenförmige Einsetzkartusche einströmende Wasser in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufteilt, die spätestens im Bereich des abströmseitigen Wasserauslaufs wieder zu einem homogenen Gesamtstrahl geformt werden.Jet regulators, which can be used in the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, are already known in various designs. Such jet regulators are used to form the water leaving the outlet fitting into a ventilated or non-ventilated, but above all, a homogeneous and non-splashing jet of water. The previously known jet regulators have in the region of their frontal water inlet to a beam splitter, which divides the inflowing into the sleeve-shaped cartridge insertion water into a plurality of individual beams, the latest in Be formed area of the downstream water outlet again to a homogeneous overall jet.

Aus der FR 1 600 307 ist bereits eine sanitäre Funktionseinheit vorbekannt, die als Handbrause ausgestaltet ist und einen Kunstharzkörper hat, der aus einem als Griff ausgebildeten Teilbereich und einem als Austrittskammer dienenden Teilbereich besteht. Im Inneren des Griffes ist ein metallisches Rohr eingeformt, in dessen der Austrittskammer zugewandten Teilbereich ein als Einsetzkartusche ausgestaltetes metallisches Zwischenstück eingefügt ist. Das metallische Zwischenstück weist einen stirnseitigen und mit dem im Griff befindlichen Rohr verbundenen Wasserzulauf und einen dazu rechtwinklig abgewinkelten Wasserauslauf auf. Die aus FR 1 600 307 vorbekannte Funktionseinheit ist jedoch nicht als Strahlregler ausgebildet, der einen homogenen und/oder nicht-spritzenden Wasserstrahl formen könnte.From the FR 1 600 307 already a sanitary functional unit is already known, which is designed as a hand shower and has a synthetic resin body, which consists of a designed as a handle portion and serving as an exit chamber portion. Inside the handle, a metallic tube is formed, in which the outlet chamber facing portion is inserted as a Einsetzkartusche designed metallic spacer. The metallic intermediate piece has a frontal and connected to the handle located in the pipe water inlet and a right angle angled water outlet. From FR 1 600 307 However, previously known functional unit is not designed as a jet regulator, which could form a homogeneous and / or non-squirting water jet.

Man ist zunehmend bestrebt, sanitäre Auslaufarmaturen nicht nur funktionell, sondern auch ästhetisch einzigartig zu gestalten. So hat man auch Auslaufarmaturen geschaffen, die einen im wesentlichen rohrförmigen Wasserauslauf haben, an dem die Auslaufmündung am Rohrumfang vorgesehen ist. In einer solchen rohrumfangsseitigen Auslaufmündung lässt sich von der Seite aus eine hülsenförmige Einsetzkartusche nicht ohne weiteres unterbringen.There is an increasing desire to make sanitary outlet fittings not only functional, but also aesthetically unique. Thus, it has also created outlet fittings, which have a substantially tubular water outlet, where the outlet opening is provided on the tube circumference. In such a pipe peripheral outlet port can be from the side of a sleeve-shaped cartridge insertion not readily available.

Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, eine sanitäre Funktionseinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die als Einsetzkartusche in eine Auslaufarmatur eingesetzt werden kann, und die als belüfteter Strahlregler zum Formen eines stabilen, homogenen, nicht-spritzenden und perlend-weichen Wasserstrahls ausgebildet ist.It is therefore the object to provide a sanitary functional unit of the type mentioned, which can be used as Einsetzkartusche in an outlet fitting, and which is designed as a vented jet regulator for forming a stable, homogeneous, non-splashing and pearly-soft water jet.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht insbesondere darin, dass zumindest ein Belüftungskanal in die Einsetzkartusche integriert ist.The solution of this task according to the invention consists, in particular, in that at least one ventilation channel is integrated into the insertion cartridge.

Zur Lösung der oben gestellten Aufgabe ist in die Einsetzkartusche der erfindungsgemäßen Funktionseinheit zumindest ein Belüftungskanal integriert. Da die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit einen Belüftungskanal aufweist, der in die Einsetzkartusche integriert ist, kann der erfindungsgemäße Strahlregler als belüfteter Strahlregler dienen.In order to achieve the above object, at least one ventilation channel is integrated into the insertion cartridge of the functional unit according to the invention. Since the functional unit according to the invention has a ventilation channel which is integrated in the insertion cartridge, the jet regulator according to the invention can serve as a ventilated jet regulator.

Die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit weist eine in den rohrförmigen Armaturenauslauf einer Auslaufarmatur einsetzbare Einsetzkartusche auf, die gegebenenfalls auch an ihren beiden Stirnseiten jeweils einen Wasserzulauf haben kann. Dabei ist am Kartuschenumfang ein Wasserauslauf mit einem Strahlformer vorgesehen, der quer und vorzugsweise rechtwinklig zur Kartuschenlängsachse orientierte Strömungsführungswände hat. Die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit vermag daher den in axialer Richtung zuströmenden Wasserstrahl derart umzulenken, dass dieser anschließend in nahezu radialer Richtung aus dem Armaturenauslauf ausströmen kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit weist dazu vor allem einen im Bereich des Wasserauslaufs vorgesehenen Strahlformer auf, der quer zur Kartuschenlängsachse orientierte Strömungsführungswände hat. Dabei können diese quer zur Kartuschenlängsachse orientierten Strömungsführungswände des Strahlformers eine beliebige Auslaufstruktur bilden und beispielsweise eine wabenartige Lochstruktur im Wasserauslauf umgrenzen. Da die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit etwa koaxial zum Armaturenauslauf orientiert ist, steht diese auch bei einer gewissen Einbaulänge nicht störend über den Rohrumfang des Armaturenauslaufs vor.The functional unit according to the invention has an insertion cartridge which can be inserted into the tubular valve outlet of an outlet fitting and, if appropriate, can also each have a water inlet at its two end faces. In this case, a water outlet with a jet former is provided on the cartridge circumference, which has transversely and preferably at right angles to the cartridge longitudinal axis oriented flow guide walls. The functional unit according to the invention is therefore able to divert the water jet flowing in the axial direction in such a way that it can then flow out of the valve outlet in the almost radial direction. For this purpose, the functional unit according to the invention has, in particular, a jet former provided in the region of the water outlet, which has flow guide walls oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the cartridge. In this case, these oriented transversely to the cartridge longitudinal axis flow guide walls of the jet former form any outlet structure and, for example, define a honeycomb-like hole structure in the water outlet. Since the functional unit according to the invention is oriented approximately coaxially to the valve outlet, this is not disturbing over the pipe circumference of the fitting outlet even with a certain installation length.

Um die im zuströmenden Wasser eventuell mitgeführten Schmutzpartikel vor dem Eintritt in die Einsetzkartusche zurückhalten zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn zuströmseitig vor zumindest einem Wasserzulauf der Einsetzkartusche ein Vorsatz- oder Schmutzsieb vorgesehen ist. Dabei lässt sich das Vorsatzsieb bei Bedarf auch austauschen oder entfernen, wenn das Vorsatzsieb/die Vorsatzsiebe am Kartuschengehäuse lösbar befestigbar sind.In order to be able to retain the dirt particles possibly entrained in the inflowing water before entry into the insertion cartridge, it is advantageous if an attachment or dirt sieve is provided on the inflow side upstream of at least one water inlet of the insertion cartridge. If required, the attachment screen can also be replaced or removed if the attachment screen / attachment screens can be detachably fastened to the cartridge housing.

Um die Einsetzkartusche von der freien Stirnseite des Armaturenauslaufs aus in den Armaturenauslauf einführen und anschließend auch in die gewünschte Position verdrehen zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die hülsenförmige Einsetzkartusche an ihrem, dem Wasserzulauf abgewandten Stirnende geschlossen ausgebildet ist und/oder eine Werkzeugangriffsfläche für ein Schraub- oder Drehwerkzeug aufweist.To insert the cartridge from the free end of the fitting outlet into the fitting outlet and then to turn into the desired position, it is useful if the sleeve-shaped insertion cartridge is formed closed at its end facing away from the water inlet end and / or a tool engagement surface for a Has screwing or turning tool.

Dabei ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Einsetzkartusche als Wechselkartusche ausgebildet ist, die an jedem ihrer Stirnseiten einen Wasserzulauf hat, und die auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Einsetzkartusche vorgesehenen Wasserzuläufe für verschiedene Wasserdrücke, Durchflussleistungen oder dergleichen Wassereigenschaften des zuströmenden und/oder ausfließenden Wassers vorgesehen sind. Auf diese Weise können mit Hilfe derselben Einsetzkartusche die Wassereigenschaften verändert und variiert werden. Um die Wassereigenschaften zu variieren, ist es beispielsweise möglich, die auf gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten der Einsetzkartusche vorgesehenen Wasserzuläufe mit unterschiedlichen Vorsatzsieben, Durchflussmengenreglern, Durchflussbegrenzern, Strahlzerlegern, Homogenisiereinrichtungen und/oder Strahlformern zu kombinieren. Dabei können die auf den gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten verwendeten unterschiedlichen Bauteile eine Farbcodierung aufweisen, welche die Zuordnung und Unterscheidung auch solcher Bauteile gleicher Funktion etwa zu einzelnen Durchfluss- oder Leistungsklassen erleichtert.It is particularly advantageous if the insertion cartridge is designed as an interchangeable cartridge, which has a water inlet at each of its end faces, and provided on opposite sides of the Einsetzkartusche water supplies for different water pressures, flow rates or the like water properties of the inflowing and / or outflowing water are provided. In this way, the water properties can be changed and varied with the help of the same cartridge. In order to vary the water properties, it is possible, for example, to combine the water feeds provided on opposite end faces of the insertion cartridge with different front screens, flow regulators, flow restrictors, jet separators, homogenizers and / or jet shapers. In this case, the different components used on the opposite end faces may have a color coding, which the assignment and differentiation Also facilitates such components the same function about individual flow or performance classes.

Je nach Einsatzzweck kann die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit als belüfteter oder unbelüfteter Strahlregler ausgebildet sein. Sofern die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit als belüfteter Strahlregler ausgebildet ist, kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn zumindest ein Belüftungskanal vorgesehen ist, der im abströmseitigen Bereich zumindest eines Strahlzerlegers mündet. Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass der Kanaleinlass zumindest eines Belüftungskanals in dem dem Wasserzulauf abgewandten Kartuschenende vorgesehen ist.Depending on the intended use, the functional unit according to the invention may be designed as a ventilated or non-aerated jet regulator. If the functional unit according to the invention is designed as a ventilated jet regulator, it may be advantageous if at least one ventilation channel is provided, which opens in the downstream area of at least one jet separator. In this case, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the channel inlet of at least one ventilation channel is provided in the end of the cartridge facing away from the water inlet.

Um die erfindungsgemäße Funktionseinheit in modularer Bauweise ausgestalten zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Strahlformer in den Wasserauslauf der Einsetzkartusche lösbar einsetzbar ist.In order to be able to design the functional unit according to the invention in a modular design, it is expedient for the jet former to be detachably insertable into the water outlet of the insertion cartridge.

Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass im Bereich des Wasserauslaufs ein Innengewinde vorgesehen ist, in welches der vorzugsweise als Einsetzteil ausgebildete Strahlformer mit Hilfe eines Außengewindes lösbar befestigbar ist.In this case, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that in the region of the water outlet an internal thread is provided, in which the preferably designed as an insert beam former is releasably fastened by means of an external thread.

Ebenfalls bevorzugt kann es bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Funktionseinheit vorgesehen sein, dass an dem Strahlformer wenigstens eine weitere Strahlformeinheit anbringbar ist, welche dem Verlauf der Rohrausnehmung des Armaturauslaufs im Bereich des Strahlaustritts folgt, so dass ein zylinderförmiger Umfang des Auslaufrohres geschaffen werden kann, der hohen ästhetischen Anforderungen genügt, da das Auslaufrohr eine durchgehende zylinderförmige Kontur aufweist, die nur im Bereich des Wasseraustritts durch die Strömungskanäle des Aufsatzes unterbrochen ist.Also preferably, it can be provided in a particular embodiment of the functional unit according to the invention that at least one further beam forming unit can be attached to the beam former, which follows the course of the pipe recess of the fitting outlet in the region of the jet outlet, so that a cylindrical circumference of the outlet pipe can be created high aesthetic requirements is sufficient because the outlet pipe has a continuous cylindrical contour, which only in the region of the water outlet through the flow channels of the essay is interrupted.

Der Strahlzerleger der erfindungsgemäßen Funktionseinheit kann beispielsweise als Diffusor ausgestaltet sind. Um jedoch die Anzahl geräuschverursachender Strömungsumlenkungen zu begrenzen, kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenn der Strahlregler als Lochplatte ausgebildet ist. Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass der Strahlzerleger in der Einsetzkartusche lösbar gehalten ist.The jet splitter of the functional unit according to the invention can for example be designed as a diffuser. However, in order to limit the number of noise-causing flow deflections, it may be expedient if the jet regulator is designed as a perforated plate. In this case, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the jet splitter is releasably held in the insertion cartridge.

In den Figuren 1 bis 6 ist eine sanitäre Funktionseinheit 30 dargestellt, die eine hülsenförmige Einsetzkartusche 1 aufweist und in den rohrförmigen Armaturenauslauf 2 einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur 3 lösbar einsetzbar ist. Aus Figur 1 ist erkennbar, dass die Funktionseinheit 30 vom freien Stirnende aus in den Armaturenauslauf bis zu einem Einsetzanschlag 4 einführbar ist. Dabei dient der in Einführrichtung vordere Stirnrandbereich der Einsetzkartusche 1 als Einsetzanschlag 4, der mit einem am Innenumfang des Armaturenauslaufs 2 vorgesehenen und hier als Ringflansch 5 ausgebildeten Gegenanschlag zusammenwirkt, wobei die beiden Anschläge 4, 5 ohne hier genauer dargestellt zu sein, besonders vorteilhaft als Gewindeanschläge ausgeführt sein können.In the FIGS. 1 to 6 a sanitary functional unit 30 is shown, which has a sleeve-shaped insertion cartridge 1 and in the tubular valve outlet 2 a sanitary outlet fitting 3 is detachably insertable. Out FIG. 1 It can be seen that the functional unit 30 can be inserted from the free front end into the fitting outlet up to an insertion stop 4. The front end edge region of the insertion cartridge 1, which is in the insertion direction, serves as insertion stop 4, which interacts with a counterstop provided on the inner circumference of the valve outlet 2 and designed here as annular flange 5, the two stops 4, 5 without being shown in greater detail here, particularly advantageously as threaded stops can be executed.

Die Einsetzkartusche 1 der Funktionseinheit 30 weist zumindest an einer ihrer Stirnseiten einen Wasserzulauf 6 auf, den zuströmseitig ein entgegen der Strömungsrichtung kegelfömig vorstehendes Filter- oder Vorsatzsieb 7 vorgeschaltet ist. Die Einsetzkartusche 1 hat an ihrem Kartuschenumfang einen Wasserauslauf 8, wobei im Wasserauslauf 8 ein Strahlformer 9 mit quer zur Kartuschenlängsachse orientierten und zueinander vorzugsweise koaxialen Strömungsführungswänden vorgesehen ist. Dieser Strahlformer 9 kann beispielsweise rechtwinklig zur Kartuschenlängsachse ausgerichtete Strömungsführungswände aufweisen, oder Lochstruktur ausgebildet sein, deren die Durchflusslöcher begrenzenden Strömungsführungswände eine wabenzellenartige Struktur bilden.The insertion cartridge 1 of the functional unit 30 has, at least on one of its end faces, a water inlet 6, upstream of which, upstream of the flow direction, a filter or attachment sieve 7 projecting in the opposite direction to the flow direction is provided. The insertion cartridge 1 has at its cartridge periphery a water outlet 8, wherein in the water outlet 8, a beam shaper 9 is provided with transverse to the cartridge longitudinal axis and mutually preferably coaxial flow guide walls. This beam shaper 9 may, for example, aligned at right angles to the cartridge longitudinal axis Have flow guide walls, or hole structure may be formed, forming the flow holes defining the flow passage walls a honeycomb cell-like structure.

Die Funktionseinheit 30 kann den in axialer Richtung zuströmenden Wasserstrahl derart umlenken, dass dieser anschließend in nahezu radialer Richtung aus dem Armaturenauslauf ausströmen kann. Die Funktionseinheit 30 weist dazu vor allem den im Bereich des Wasserauslaufs 8 vorgesehenen Strahlformer 9 auf, der in radialer Richtung orientierte Strömungsführungswände hat. Da die Funktionseinheit 30 etwa koaxial zum Armaturenauslauf orientiert ist, steht diese auch bei einer gewissen Einbaulänge nicht störend über den Rohrumfang des Armaturenauslaufs 2 vor.The functional unit 30 can divert the water jet flowing in the axial direction in such a way that it can then flow out of the valve outlet in the almost radial direction. For this purpose, the functional unit 30 has, above all, the jet former 9 provided in the region of the water outlet 8, which has flow-guiding walls oriented in the radial direction. Since the functional unit 30 is oriented approximately coaxially with the tap outlet, it does not interfere with the pipe circumference of the tap outlet 2 even with a certain installation length.

In Fig. 4 ist erkennbar, dass das Vorsatzsieb 7 mit einem nachgeschalteten Strahlzerleger 13 einerseits und der Strahlformer 9 andererseits lösbar in der Einsetzkartusche 1 gehalten sind. Während das Vorsatzsieb 7 und/oder der daran nachgeschalteten Strahlzerleger 13 an der Kartuschenstirnseite lösbar verrastbar sein können, ist im Bereich des Wasserauslaufs 8 ein Innengewinde 11 vorgesehen, in welches der als Einsetzteil ausgebildete Strahlformer mit Hilfe eines Aussengewindes 12 lösbar befestigbar ist.In Fig. 4 It can be seen that the attachment screen 7 with a downstream jet splitter 13 on the one hand and the jet former 9 on the other hand are releasably held in the insertion cartridge 1. While the front screen 7 and / or the downstream thereon beam splitter 13 can be releasably latched to the cartridge end, an internal thread 11 is provided in the region of the water outlet 8, in which the trained as an insert beam former with the aid of an external thread 12 is detachably fastened.

Aus Fig. 4 wird auch deutlich, dass die Einsetzkartusche 1 zumindest einen Wasserzulauf 6 mit einem, den zuströmenden Wasserstrom in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen unterteilenden Strahlzerleger 13 hat, wobei dieser Strahlzerleger 13 hier als eine quer zur Strömungsrichtung orientierte Lochplatte ausgebildet ist, die eine Vielzahl von Durchflusslöchern aufweist.Out Fig. 4 It is also clear that the insertion cartridge 1 has at least one water inlet 6 with an inflowing water flow into a plurality of individual beams dividing jet splitter 13, wherein this jet splitter 13 is formed here as a transverse to the flow direction oriented perforated plate having a plurality of flow holes.

Die Funktionseinheit 30 ist hier als Strahlregler ausgebildet, der zum Formen des austretenden Wasserstrahls bestimmt ist. Der in Figur 1 bis 4 gezeigte Strahlregler 30 ist als belüfteter Strahlregler ausgebildet, der einen belüfteten und somit perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl formen soll.The functional unit 30 is designed here as a jet regulator, which is intended to shape the outgoing water jet. The in Figure 1 to 4 shown jet regulator 30 is designed as a ventilated jet regulator, which is to form a ventilated and thus pearly soft water jet.

Im Hülsenumfang der hülsenförmigen Einsetzkartusche 1 des Strahlreglers 30 ist dazu wenigstens ein Belüftungskanal 19 vorgesehen, der im abströmseitigen und als Mischzone 15 vorgesehenen Bereich des Strahlzerlegers 13 mündet. In den den Durchflussquerschnitt verengenden Durchflusslöchern des Strahlzerlegers 13 erfährt der Wasserstrom zwangsläufig eine Geschwindigkeitserhöhung, die auf der Abströmseite des Strahlzerlegers 13 einen Unterdruck zur Folge hat, der ein Ansaugen der zum Belüften des Wasserstrahls benötigten Luft bewirkt. Dabei ist der Kanaleinlass 17 des zumindest einen, in die Einsetzkartusche 1 integrierten Belüftungskanals 14 in dem dem Wasserzulauf 6 abgewandten Kartuschenende vorgesehen.In the sleeve circumference of the sleeve-shaped insertion cartridge 1 of the jet regulator 30, at least one ventilation channel 19 is provided for this purpose, which opens in the region of the jet separator 13 provided downstream of the mixing zone 15. In the flow cross section narrowing flow holes of the jet breaker 13, the water flow inevitably undergoes an increase in speed, which has a negative pressure on the downstream side of the jet separator 13, which causes suction of the air required for aerating the water jet. In this case, the channel inlet 17 of the at least one ventilation channel 14 integrated in the insertion cartridge 1 is provided in the end of the cartridge facing away from the water inlet 6.

Der in den Figuren 1 bis 4 dargestellte Strahlregler 30 ist an seinem, dem Wasserzulauf abgewandten Stirnende geschlossen ausgebildet. Dabei ist an der geschlossenen Stirnseite des Strahlreglers 30 eine hier als Innensechskant ausgebildete Werkzeugangriffsfläche 16 vorgesehen, die beispielsweise ein Verdrehen der im Armaturenauslauf 2 befindlichen Einsetzkartusche 1 erlaubt, bis der Wasserauslauf 8 der Einsetzkartusche 1 und Armaturenauslauf 2 miteinander fluchten.The in the FIGS. 1 to 4 shown jet regulator 30 is formed closed at its, the water inlet facing away from the front end. Here, a trained here as hexagon tool engagement surface 16 is provided on the closed end face of the jet regulator 30, which allows, for example, a twisting the cartridge outlet 2 located in the cartridge 1 until the water outlet 8 of the cartridge 1 and fitting outlet 2 are aligned.

In einer hier nicht gezeigten Ausführung kann der Strahlregler auch eine Einsetzkartusche 1 aufweisen, die als Wechselkartusche ausgebildet ist. Die Wechselkartusche eines solchen Strahlreglers weist an jedem ihrer Stirnseiten einen Wasserzulauf auf, wobei die auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten vorgesehenen Wasserzuläufe für verschiedene Wasserdrücke, Durchflussleistungen oder der gleichen Wassereigenschaften des zuströmenden und/oder ausfließenden Wassers vorgesehen sind. Die Einsetzkartusche eines solchen Strahlreglers erlaubt es, bei Bedarf entweder den einen oder den anderen Wasserzulauf zu verwenden, je nachdem, welcher Wasserzulauf in die Zuflussrichtung des Wasserstroms positioniert wird. Auf diese Weise können mit Hilfe derselben Einsetzkartusche die Wassereigenschaften verändert und variiert werden. Um die Wassereigenschaften zu variieren, ist es beispielsweise möglich, die auf den gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten der Einsetzkartusche vorgesehenen Wasserzuläufe mit unterschiedlichen Vorsatzsieben, Durchflussmengenreglern, Durchflussbegrenzern, Strahlzerlegern, Homogenisiereinrichtungen und/oder Strahlformern zu kombinieren. Dabei können die auf den gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten verwendeten unterschiedlichen Bauteile eine Farbcodierung aufweisen, welche die Zuordnung und Unterscheidung auch solcher Bauteile gleicher Funktion etwa zu einzelnen Durchfluss- oder Leistungsklassen erleichtert.In an embodiment not shown here, the jet regulator can also have an insertion cartridge 1, which is designed as a replaceable cartridge. The interchangeable cartridge of such a jet regulator has at each of its end faces a water inlet, wherein the provided on opposite sides water supplies for different water pressures, Flow rates or the same water properties of the inflowing and / or outflowing water are provided. The insert cartridge of such a jet regulator makes it possible to use either one or the other water inlet as needed, depending on which water inlet is positioned in the direction of flow of the water flow. In this way, the water properties can be changed and varied with the help of the same cartridge. In order to vary the water properties, it is possible, for example, to combine the water feeds provided on the opposite end faces of the insertion cartridge with different front screens, flow regulators, flow restrictors, jet separators, homogenizers and / or jet shapers. In this case, the different components used on the opposite end faces may have a color coding, which facilitates the assignment and differentiation of such components the same function as to individual flow or performance classes.

Aus den Figuren 1 bis 4 wird deutlich, dass der Ringraum zwischen dem Aussenumfang der Einsatzkartusche 1 und dem Innenumfang des Armaturenauslaufs 2 durch zumindest eine Ringdichtung, vorzugsweise einen Dichtring 14, abgedichtet ist. In den Figuren 1 bis 4 ist erkennbar, dass die Einsetzkartusche 1 hier im Umfangsrandbereich ihrer beiden Stirnseiten jeweils einen Dichtring 14 trägt. In den Figuren 1 bis 4 ist angedeutet, dass der als Lochplatte ausgebildete Strahlzerleger 13 der Funktionseinheit 30 auf das zuströmseitige Stirnende der Einsetzkartusche 1 mittels einer Rastverbindung lösbar aufgeschnappt ist. Die Einsetzkartusche 1 der Funktionseinheit 30 weist vorzugsweise an ihrem zuströmseitigen Umfangsrandbereich ein Außengewinde 150 auf, dass mit einem Innengewinde am Innenumfang des Armaturenauslaufs 2 verschraubbar ist. Diese Schraubverbindung zwischen Einsetzkartusche 1 und Armaturenauslauf 2 sichert die funktionsgerechte Position der Einsetzkartusche 1 im Armaturenauslauf 2. Möglich ist aber auch, die Einsetzkartusche 1 mit einem am freien Stirnende des Armaturenauslaufs 2 vorgesehenen Deckel 18 zu verbinden, welcher Deckel 18 anschließend die Einsetzkartusche 1 im Armaturenauslauf sichern und halten kann. In Fig. 3 ist erkennbar, dass der Belüftungskanal 14 im oberen Bereich der Einsetzkartusche 1 angeordnet ist, um einem Auslaufen von Wasser aus dem Belüftungskanal 14 entgegenzuwirken. Damit Luft über die Kanalöffnung angesaugt werden kann, schließt der Deckel 18 am Armaturenauslauf nicht luftdicht ab. Am kronenförmigen freien Stirnende des Armaturenauslaufs sind Lufteintrittsöffnungen 21 vorgesehen, die vom Deckel freigehalten werden. Die Einsetzkartusche 1 des Strahlreglers 30 ist im Bereich des Einsetzanschlags mit einer in axialer Richtung beaufschlagten Ringdichtung 22 umfangsseitig abgedichtet.From the FIGS. 1 to 4 It is clear that the annular space between the outer circumference of the cartridge 1 and the inner periphery of the valve outlet 2 by at least one ring seal, preferably a sealing ring 14, is sealed. In the FIGS. 1 to 4 It can be seen that the insertion cartridge 1 here in the peripheral edge region of its two end faces in each case carries a sealing ring 14. In the FIGS. 1 to 4 is indicated that the trained as a perforated plate jet splitter 13 of the functional unit 30 is detachably snapped onto the inflow-side front end of the insertion cartridge 1 by means of a latching connection. The insertion cartridge 1 of the functional unit 30 preferably has an external thread 150 on its inflow-side peripheral edge region, which can be screwed to an internal thread on the inner circumference of the valve outlet 2. This screw connection between insertion cartridge 1 and valve outlet 2 ensures the functional position of the insertion cartridge 1 in the fitting outlet 2. It is also possible to connect the Einsetzkartusche 1 with a provided at the free end face of the valve outlet 2 cover 18, which lid 18 then secure the Einsetzkartusche 1 in the fitting outlet and can hold , In Fig. 3 It can be seen that the ventilation channel 14 is arranged in the upper region of the insertion cartridge 1, in order to counteract leakage of water from the ventilation channel 14. To allow air to be sucked in via the duct opening, the lid 18 on the tap outlet does not close airtight. At the crown-shaped free end face of the fitting outlet air inlet openings 21 are provided, which are kept free from the lid. The insertion cartridge 1 of the jet regulator 30 is circumferentially sealed in the region of the insertion stop with an annular seal 22 acted upon in the axial direction.

Aus den Figuren 5 und 6 wird deutlich, dass der sanitären Funktionseinheit 30 auch eine Strahlformeinheit 9' zugeordnet sein kann, die am Armaturenauslauf derart anbringbar ist, dass diese im Verlauf ihrer Außenkontur der Rohrausnehmung des Armaturenauslaufs 2 im Bereich des Strahlaustritts folgt. Dabei kann die Strahlformeinheit 9' auch dem Strahlformer 9 der Einsetzkartusche 1 nachgeschaltet sein oder dessen einzigen Strahlformer 9 bilden. Bei der in den Figuren 5 und 6 dargestellten Ausführungsform wird die Strahlformeinheit 9' nach Montage der Einsetzkartusche 1 und des Strahlformers 9 von der Auslaufseite her im Armaturenauslauf 2 eingeschnappt oder dergleichen befestigt, so dass die Auslaufstruktur dieser Strahlformeinheit 9' bündig mit dem Verlauf der den Wasserauslauf bildenden Rohrausnehmung angeordnet ist.From the FIGS. 5 and 6 It is clear that the sanitary functional unit 30 can also be associated with a jet forming unit 9 'which can be attached to the tap outlet in such a way that in the course of its outer contour it follows the pipe recess of the tap outlet 2 in the region of the jet outlet. In this case, the jet-forming unit 9 'can also be connected downstream of the jet former 9 of the insertion cartridge 1 or form its single jet former 9. In the in the FIGS. 5 and 6 In the embodiment shown, the jet-forming unit 9 'is snapped or mounted in the fitting outlet 2 after mounting the insertion cartridge 1 and the jet former 9, so that the outlet structure of this jet-forming unit 9' is flush with the course of the pipe outlet forming the water outlet.
