Description
Die Erfindung betrifft den Betrieb einer Vorrichtung zum Aufbereiten von Duschwasser für ein Wasserklosett mit Unterdusche, mit einer Leitungsanordnung, die einen Eingang aufweist, der an eine Versorgungsleitung angeschlossen ist und mit einem Ausgang, der an einen Duscharm angeschlossen ist und mit einem Heizelement zum Bereitstellen von warmem Wasser.The invention relates to the operation of a device for treating shower water for a water closet with under shower, with a conduit arrangement having an input which is connected to a supply line and having an output which is connected to a shower arm and a heating element for providing warm water.
Solche Vorrichtungen sind im Stand der Technik seit langem bekannt. Ein Wasserklosett mit einer Unterdusche bzw. einer Warmwasserdusche erübrigt weitgehend die Verwendung von Klosettpapier. In der Praxis haben sich solche Wasserklosetts bereits ausserordentlich bewährt. Das Duschwasser muss auf Körpertemperatur erwärmt werden, damit es vom Duscharm abgegeben werden kann. Hierzu eignet sich insbesondere ein Warmwasserbehälter, wie dies bei der Vorrichtung nach der
Die
Durch die
Bei der Aufbereitung des Wassers in einem Warmwasserbehälter kann bei einem Durchfluss von 5.5 I/min und einer Wassertemperatur von 37° C mit einer Duschzeit von etwa 20 Sekunden gerechnet werden. Nach dieser Duschzeit nimmt dann die Wassertemperatur allmählich ab. Eine längere Duschzeit wäre mit einem grösseren Warmwasserbehälter und einem entsprechend höheren Energieverbrauch an sich möglich. Ein grösserer Wasserbehälter ist aber aus Platzgründen nicht möglich oder zumindest nicht erwünscht. Auch ein wesentlich höherer Energieverbrauch sollte vermieden werden.When treating the water in a hot water tank, a showering time of about 20 seconds can be expected at a flow rate of 5.5 l / min and a water temperature of 37 ° C. After this showering time then the water temperature gradually decreases. A longer shower time would be possible with a larger hot water tank and a correspondingly higher energy consumption per se. However, a larger water tank is not possible or at least undesirable for reasons of space. Even a much higher energy consumption should be avoided.
Ferner wird auf die
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Betriebsverfahren gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zu schaffen, das eine längere Duschzeit mit Warmwasser ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide an operating method according to the preamble of claim 1, which allows a longer shower time with hot water.
Die Aufgabe ist bei einem gattungsgemässen Verfahren dadurch gelöst, dass die Vorrichtung einen Energiespeicher aufweist, mit welchem der Leistungsbereich für die Bereitstellung von Duschwasser erweiterbar ist, und dadurch, dass die Vorrichtung nach einer Benutzung in einen Schlafzustand geschaltet wird und im Hinblick auf eine Benutzung überwacht wird und nach einem Erfassen eines Benutzers vor Abgabe von Duschwasser der Energiespeicher geladen wird oder nach einem Duschvorgang der Energiespeicher geladen und anschließend die Vorrichtung in den Schlafmodus geschaltet wird.The object is achieved in a generic method in that the device has an energy storage, with which the power range for the provision of shower water is expandable, and in that the device is switched after use in a sleep state and monitored for use is loaded and after detecting a user before dispensing shower water, the energy storage or charged after a shower operation of the energy storage and then the device is switched to sleep mode.
Die Vorrichtung weist also einen Energiespeicher auf, mit welchem der Leistungsbereich für die Bereitstellung von Duschwasser erweitert wird. In diesem Energiespeicher wird eine bestimmte Menge Energie zwischengespeichert. Dieser Energiespeicher steht während des Duschvorganges als zusätzliche Energiequelle zum Aufbereiten des Duschwassers zur Verfügung. Der Energiespeicher ergänzt beispielsweise einen Durchlauferhitzer. Der Durchlauferhitzer kann während des Duschvorganges dann mit der zur Verfügung stehenden Leistung beispielsweise eines angeschlossenen Stromnetzes gespiesen werden. Das Wasser des Durchlauferhitzers kann dann beispielsweise mit dem Wasser eines Warmwasserbehälters gemischt werden, welcher den Energiespeicher bildet. Dieser Warmwasserbehälter kann auf einer höheren Temperatur von beispielsweise höher als 40° C und niedriger als 90° C gehalten werden. Durch die Kombination eines solchen Durchlauferhitzers und eines Warmwasserspeichers ist beispielsweise eine Duschdauer von einer Minute bei einem Durchfluss von 5.5 I/min und einer Duschtemperatur von 37° C möglich. Anstelle eines Energiespeichers in der Form eines Warmwasserbehälters ist beispielsweise auch ein Energiespeicher in Form eines elektrischen, elektrochemischen oder chemischen Energiespeichers denkbar. Der Energiespeicher könnte beispielsweise ein Akkumulator sein, der an ein elektrisches Netz angeschlossen ist und dessen Leistung während des Duschvorganges erhöht. Nach einem Duschvorgang wird dann der Akkumulator über das Netz wieder geladen. Möglich sind auch Energiespeicher bei denen ein chemischer oder elektrochemischer Vorgang im Bedarfsfall Energie abgibt.The device thus has an energy store, with which the power range for the provision of shower water is extended. In this energy storage a certain amount of energy is cached. This energy storage is available during the shower process as an additional source of energy for the treatment of the shower water. The energy storage supplements, for example, a water heater. The water heater can then be fed during the shower process with the available power, for example, a connected power grid. The water of the water heater can then be mixed, for example, with the water of a hot water tank, which forms the energy storage. This hot water tank can be maintained at a higher temperature of, for example, higher than 40 ° C and lower than 90 ° C. By combining such a water heater and a hot water storage, for example, a shower time of one minute at a flow rate of 5.5 I / min and a shower temperature of 37 ° C is possible. Instead of an energy storage in the form of a hot water tank, for example, an energy storage in the form of an electrical, electrochemical or chemical energy storage is conceivable. The energy storage could for example be an accumulator, which is connected to an electrical network and increases its power during the shower process. After a shower process, the accumulator is then recharged via the mains. Also possible are energy storage in which a chemical or electrochemical process in case of need emits energy.
Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Energiespeicher ein Hochtemperaturspeicher ist, in welchem Wasser mit einer Temperatur bereitstellbar ist, welche höher ist als die Temperatur von körperwarmem Wasser. Die vorgesehene Temperatur des Hochtemperaturspeichers liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich von etwa 40° C bis 90° C. Durch Beimischen von Leitungswasser wird dann die Temperatur auf eine körperverträgliche Temperatur von beispielsweise 37° C gesenkt.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the energy store is a high-temperature store, in which water can be provided with a temperature which is higher than the temperature of body-warm water. The intended temperature of the high-temperature reservoir is preferably in the range of about 40 ° C to 90 ° C. By admixing tap water, the temperature is then lowered to a body-compatible temperature of, for example, 37 ° C.
Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Leitungsanordnung einen Wasserkreislauf aufweist, der so an die Unterdusche anschliessbar ist, dass über einen ersten Leitungsast der Unterdusche nicht erwärmtes Wasser und über einen zweiten Leitungsast erwärmtes Wasser zuführbar ist. Das erwärmte Wasser und das nicht erwärmte Wasser können davor oder im Duscharm gemischt werden, so dass schliesslich körperwarmes Duschwasser den Duscharm verlässt. Das nicht erwärmte Wasser kann zudem zum Ausfahren des Duscharms und damit als Antriebsmittel verwendet werden.According to a development of the invention, provision is made for the line arrangement to have a water circuit which can be connected to the subshower such that unheated water and water heated by a second line branch can be supplied via a first line branch of the subshower. The heated water and the unheated water can be mixed in front of it or in the shower arm so that body-warm shower water leaves the shower arm. Not that one heated water can also be used to extend the shower arm and thus as a drive.
Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der erste Leitungsast an einen Durchlauferhitzer angeschlossen. Hierbei ist vorzugsweise gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung im zweiten Leitungsast ein Warmwasserspeicher angeordnet, der über ein Umschaltventil mit dem ersten Leitungsast verbunden ist. Beim Duschvorgang kann dann das im Durchlauferhitzer erwärmte Wasser dem Warmwasserspeicher zugeführt werden, der hierbei gleichzeitig Warmwasser abgibt, das mit Wasser aus dem ersten Leitungsast gemischt wird. Dies ermöglicht einen besonders energiesparenden Betrieb. Ganz allgemein ist eine längere Duschdauer ohne wesentliche Erhöhung der erforderlichen Energie möglich.According to a development of the invention, the first line branch is connected to a water heater. In this case, a hot water tank is preferably arranged according to a development of the invention in the second line branch, which is connected via a switching valve with the first line branch. During the shower process, the water heated in the water heater can then be supplied to the hot water tank, which at the same time emits hot water, which is mixed with water from the first pipe branch. This enables a particularly energy-saving operation. In general, a longer shower time without significant increase in the required energy is possible.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass die Vorrichtung im Ruhezustand im Schlafzustand ist und dass sie im Hinblick auf einen Benutzer überwacht wird. Wird ein Benutzer detektiert, so wird der Schlafzustand aufgehoben und vor der Abgabe von Duschwasser kann der Energiespeicher geladen werden. Im Fall eines Warmwasserbehälters wird in diesem das Duschwasser erwärmt bzw. auf eine höhere Temperatur gebracht. Die Energiezufuhr kann hier beispielsweise über ein elektrisches Netz erfolgen. Das Heizsystem kann hierbei unter Volllast arbeiten. Während des Duschvorganges findet hier vorzugsweise ein geregeltes Mischen von Speicherwasser aus dem Warmwasserbehälter und Wasser aus dem Durchlauferhitzer statt. Das Heizsystem kann hierbei weiterhin unter Volllast arbeiten. Denkbar ist hier auch ein Beimischen von Wasser, das vorher nicht erwärmt wurde. Ist der Energiespeicher beispielsweise ein Akku, so wird er während des Duschvorganges entladen, so dass die Leistung des Netzes durch die Leistung des Akkus unterstützt wird. In diesem Fall wird das Wasser beispielsweise ausschliesslich im Durchlauferhitzer erwärmt. Verglichen mit dem Stand der Technik kann hierbei somit bei gleicher Netzleistung eine längere Duschdauer erreicht werden, da Energie aus dem Akku bereitgestellt wird.In the method according to the invention, provision is made, in particular, for the device to be in the sleep state at rest and to be monitored with regard to a user. If a user is detected, the sleep state is canceled and the energy storage device can be charged before dispensing shower water. In the case of a hot water tank in this the shower water is heated or brought to a higher temperature. The power supply can be done here for example via an electrical network. The heating system can work under full load. During the showering process, a controlled mixing of storage water from the hot water tank and water from the instantaneous water heater preferably takes place here. The heating system can continue to work under full load. It is also conceivable here an admixing of water that was not previously heated. For example, if the energy storage device is a rechargeable battery, it will be discharged during the showering process so that the power of the network is supported by the power of the rechargeable battery. In this case, the water is heated, for example, exclusively in a water heater. Compared to the state of the art, a longer shower time can thus be achieved with the same network performance, since energy is supplied from the battery.
Nach dem Duschvorgang wird der Energiespeicher wieder geladen. Im Fall eines Warmwasserspeichers kann in diesem die Wassertemperatur erhöht und mittels eines Thermostaten auf einer bestimmten Temperatur gehalten werden. Im Fall eines Akkumulators wird dieser wieder über das Netz geladen. Denkbar ist auch eine Ausführung mit mehreren Energiespeichern, beispielsweise einem Warmwasserspeicher und einem Akkumulator.After the shower process, the energy storage is recharged. In the case of a hot water tank, the water temperature can be increased in this and kept at a certain temperature by means of a thermostat. In the case of one Accumulator this is again charged via the network. Also conceivable is a design with multiple energy storage, such as a hot water tank and an accumulator.

Der Energiespeicher 7 ist vorzugsweise thermisch isoliert, so dass der Energieverlust vermindert werden kann. Im Energiespeicher 7 kann das Wasser beispielsweise auf eine Temperatur zwischen etwa 40 bis 90° C erwärmt und gehalten werden. Über einen hier nicht gezeigten Temperaturregler kann eine vorbestimmte Temperatur gehalten werden. Geeignete Steuermittel hierzu sind dem Fachmann an sich bekannt.The
Der Energiespeicher 7 ist mit einem Umschaltventil 12, das beispielsweise ein Dreiwegeventil ist, verbunden. Dieses Ventil 12 ist hier über eine weitere Verbindungsleitung 2c mit dem Eingang 3 verbunden. Über die Verbindungsleitung 2c und das Umschaltventil kann dem Energiespeicher 7 direkt Wasser zugeführt werden. Somit kann dem Energiespeicher 7 einerseits über die Verbindungsleitung 2d erwärmtes Wasser und über das Umschaltventil 12 nicht erwärmtes Wasser bzw. Wasser aus dem Eingang 3 zugeführt werden. Das Umschaltventil 12 ist zudem über den zweiten Leitungsast 2b mit dem Duscharm 5 verbunden. Zwischen dem Umschaltventil 12 und dem Duscharm 5 sind ein Regler 17 und ein Ventil 16 angeordnet. Dem Duscharm 5 kann damit über den zweiten Leitungsast 2b geregelt warmes Wasser zugeführt werden. Dieses kann mit dem Wasser aus dem ersten Leitungsast 2a gemischt werden. Sensoren zum Ermitteln der entsprechenden Wassertemperaturen sind vorgesehen, hier jedoch nicht gezeigt. Ebenfalls nicht gezeigt ist eine geeignete Steuervorrichtung, welche die genannten Ventile sowie das Heizelement 6 und den Energiespeicher 7 regeln. Ebenfalls nicht gezeigt und an sich bekannt sind Betätlgungsmittel, mit denen der Duschvorgang ausgelöst werden kann. Die Auslösung kann beispielsweise über eine Taste oder berührungslos erfolgen.The
Nachfolgend wird das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren näher erläutert.The method according to the invention will be explained in more detail below.
Im Ruhezustand ist der Energiespeicher 7 mit Wasser gefüllt. Das Ventil 10 ist geschlossen und die Vorrichtung 1 in einem Schlafmodus. Im Energiespeicher 7 wird eine bestimmte Temperatur, beispielsweise 40° C oder weniger gehalten. Während des Ruhezustandes wird beispielsweise über einen Sensor in einem Klosettsitz eine eventuelle Benutzung überwacht. Wird ein Benutzer festgestellt, so wird das Wasser im Energiespeicher 7 erwärmt, so dass die Temperatur schliesslich im Bereich zwischen etwa 40° C und 90° C liegt. Der Energiespeicher 7 wird somit geladen. Das Laden erfolgt hier vorzugsweise unter Volllast. Der Energiespeicher 7 wird in vergleichsweise kurzer Zeit geladen bzw. die Temperatur auf den gewünschten Wert erhöht. Gleichzeitig oder alternativ kann der Energiespeicher 8 geladen werden. Ist dieser ein Akkumulator, so wird dieser entsprechend über die Versorgungsleitungen 13 geladen.At rest, the
Wird vom Benutzer der Duschvorgang ausgelöst, so wird das Umschaltventil 12 geschaltet und die Pumpe 11 aktiviert. Ebenfalls wird das Heizelement 6 eingeschaltet. Im Heizelement wird Wasser erhitzt und dieses wird dem Energiespeicher 7 zugeführt. Das Wasser aus dem Heizelement 6 wird hierbei mit dem Wasser des Energiespeichers 7 gemischt. Um die gewünschte Temperatur für den Duschvorgang zu erreichen, kann über das Umschaltventil 12 vergleichsweise kaltes Wasser über die Verbindungsleitung 2c zugeführt werden. Über den zweiten Leitungsast 2b gelangt nun Wasser zum Duscharm 5. Das Ventil 16 ist entsprechend geöffnet und geregelt. Dem Duscharm 5 kann gleichzeitig über den ersten Leitungsast 2a auch vergleichsweise kaltes Wasser zugeführt werden und beigemischt werden. Das Wasser aus dem zweiten Leitungsast 2a kann aber auch verwendet werden, um den Duscharm 5 in die Bereitschaftsstellung zu bewegen. Dies wird ebenfalls über das Ventil 15 geregelt. Das Wasser aus dem zweiten Leitungsast 2a dient somit in diesem Fall als Antriebsmittel um den Duscharm 5 zu verfahren. Hydraulisch bewegbare Duscharme 5 sind dem Fachmann an sich bekannt. Während des Duschvorganges arbeitet das Heizsystem vorzugsweise weiterhin in Volllast. Der Duschvorgang wird vom Benutzer oder selbsttätig unterbrochen. Anschliessend wird der Energiespeicher 7 wieder geladen und auf eine bestimmte Temperatur geregelt. Alternativ oder gleichzeitig kann der Energiespeicher 8 ebenfalls geladen werden. Die Vorrichtung 1 wird schliesslich wieder in den Schlafmodus versetzt. Die Vorrichtung 1 ist nun wieder für einen weiteren Duschvorgang bereit.If the user initiates the shower process, then the switching
