Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower head according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a hand shower for shower and bath facilities with a water supply channel and a rotatable arranged on the water supply channel shower head is known.
  • the shower head has a sealing disc with a plurality of openings and several spray jets generating jet nozzles, which can be connected by turning the shower head about its longitudinal axis optionally to the water supply channel.
  • the shower head Since the shower head is basically rotated against the provided on the sealing gasket sealant, it can just come with difficulty of the shower head to wear this sealant, causing the shower head can be leaking.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a shower head.
  • the invention provides a shower head which has a housing with a water inlet, at least one water guide and a housing bottom, in which jet outlet openings are arranged.
  • the water guide serves as a connection between the water inlet and a number of jet outlet openings.
  • a valve element for sealing a valve opening is provided for the water supply.
  • the valve element is mounted displaceably on both sides. This means that only a radial bearing or guidance of the valve element is provided, so that it is freely movable in the direction of action of the valve or in the direction of the valve lift by a distance (x).
  • a control device is provided with at least one control element acting on the valve element, which defines a displacement of the valve element by a valve lift (y).
  • the movable control device is provided as a separate component which is only in operative connection with the valve element. A mechanical connection of the control device to the valve element is thereby avoided.
  • the movable control device can be arranged in the housing between the water inlet and the housing bottom.
  • the housing bottom can have several types of jet outlet openings.
  • each type of jet outlet opening is usually associated with a water guide.
  • a valve element is provided per water supply.
  • jet outlet openings only one type or form of jet outlet openings can be provided, the jet pattern of which can be changed via the operation of the control device.
  • a plurality of water guides can be arranged, which are each connected to a number of the same jet outlet openings.
  • a valve element is arranged for each water guide.
  • valve opening of the valve element is fully or partially released or closed depending on the position of the control. This is determined by the arrangement of the control on the controller and by its shape and height.
  • the control device can therefore be provided as a pure conversion device between two or more jet images, namely by releasing or closing one or more water guides. Furthermore, it can be used as a throttling and / or shut-off device. If only the water inflow is to be throttled with the control device, the valve lift (y) is defined as follows: that the valve element lifts off the valve seat but does not release the entire valve opening. With such a setting, for example, a water-saving mode can be realized on the shower.
  • valve element or elements are acted upon in their closed position in each case by water pressure and / or a spring element.
  • the valve element When the valve element is operated via the control device, the valve element is thus lifted out of the valve seat against a spring force or against a force generated by the pending water pressure in the shower head by the valve lift (y). If a spring element is arranged on the valve element and the control device is moved further, so that the control element no longer acts on the valve element, it thus returns to its closed position.
  • valve element If the valve element is pressed only by pending water pressure against the valve seat, it is again freely displaceable after shutting off the water to an associated sanitary fitting.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that in addition a valve element for air supply is provided in the shower head.
  • a valve element for air supply is provided in the shower head.
  • a channel for air in the housing of the shower head is accordingly provided.
  • the air is sucked in from outside by means of a venturi effect.
  • a further valve element for the sucked air is provided in the shower head.
  • This valve element can be constructed identical to the valve elements for the water guides.
  • each valve element can be controlled individually or in combination with at least one other valve element. This is achieved by the arrangement of the one or more controls.
  • valve element For this purpose, more than one control element can be provided per valve element, which act successively on actuation of the control device on the same valve element.
  • a control for a plurality of valve elements may be provided. In the latter case, during the movement of the control device, the same control element acts successively on a plurality of valve elements.
  • the valve elements can be arranged in series or offset from one another.
  • the one or more controls may be provided in the form of a cam, a pin, a rocker arm or in the form of a recess.
  • the control of the control device In order to effect a defined lifting movement of the valve element, the control of the control device must pass directly under the valve element. In this case, the user only has to overcome the force of a spring element or the force of the water pressure acting on the valve element. It is advantageous if the control or the controls have slopes, curves or tracks for continuous adjustment of the valve lift. Due to the bevels, it becomes even easier for the user to operate the control device, since no resistances in the form of offsets have to be overcome. As a result of the stepless adjustment of the valve lift and the previously described throttling function of the control device, different flow rates can be set per spray pattern.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that a disc is provided as a control device and a control arranged perpendicular to the disc plane control.
  • the disk may be rotatable about an axis arranged perpendicular to the housing bottom or about an axis parallel to the valve element axis.
  • One or more controls may be located on the disk.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that a translationally displaceable disk is provided as the control device.
  • the controls are arranged perpendicular to the disk plane.
  • the valve elements may be arranged not only vertically but also horizontally or at an inclination in the shower head.
  • a circular ring or a cylindrical element can be provided as a control device.
  • the controls are then directed radially inward or outward and also act in the stroke direction of the valve element on this.
  • Figure 1 is a view of a hand shower
  • Figure 2 shows a partial section through the hand shower of Figure 1 along
  • Figure 3 shows a partial section through the hand shower of Figure 1 along
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of an inventive
  • FIG. 1 shows a view of a hand shower.
  • the hand shower includes a handle and a shower head, which are integrally connected.
  • Figure 2 shows a partial section through the shower head of the hand shower along the line II-II.
  • Figure 3 shows a partial section through the shower head of the hand shower along the line III-III.
  • the shower head comprises a housing 1, which is connected to a handle housing.
  • the housing 1 of the shower head is connected to a housing bottom 4, in which jet outlet openings 44 are arranged.
  • the hand shower only one type of jet outlet openings 44.
  • the housing base 4, which is also called jet former or shower base, consists of several individual parts 41, 42, 43, which are combined to form an assembly.
  • the final part of the housing bottom 4 is formed by a hard outer shell 41, which serves to stabilize and shape a soft silicone mat 42, are formed on the jet outlet nozzles.
  • Openings in the outer shell 41 pass through, in turn, have the jet outlet openings 44.
  • the housing bottom 4 terminates with a rear wall 43, so that a water distribution chamber 12 is formed between the outer shell 41 and the rear wall 43. Via the water distribution chamber 12, the respectively associated with this jet outlet openings 44 are supplied evenly with water.
  • At least one opening for sucking air into the shower head is provided in the housing 1.
  • the shower head on an air intake duct 6, which in a Air channel 5 opens.
  • the air channel 5 is arranged as a separate channel within the water guide 3.
  • the water passes through a water inlet 10 via a water guide 2, 3 in the shower head.
  • the water guide 2, 3 consists of a handle water guide and a head water guide, which are releasably locked together.
  • a valve opening 31 is arranged with a corresponding valve seat 32 for a valve element 8.
  • the valve element 8 comprises a valve stem and a valve closing body, which rests against the valve seat 32 in the closed position.
  • valve element 8 also has an elastic head piece, which acts as a spring element.
  • the valve element 8 can move without water in the water guide 3 in its direction of action by a certain by the spring travel of the spring element valve travel (x) back and forth.
  • the water pressure acts in addition to the spring element on the valve element 8 and pushes it into its closed position against the valve seat 32nd
  • valve seat 33 is located between the air duct 5 and the outside of the water guide 3. Via the valve element 7 thus only the air supply is controlled in the water supply 3.
  • the air flowing in through the valve opening 34 also passes into the water distribution chamber 12 with the water flowing in via the valve opening 31, which thus also serves as a mixing chamber.
  • a control device 9 in the form of a circular disk is arranged. This is rotatably mounted about the central axis 11 of the shower head.
  • the control device can be actuated with a molded-on lever 91 in both directions of rotation.
  • control device 9 has a plurality of differently shaped control elements 92, 93, 94, 95. These are offset from each other both in the axial and in the radial direction. Via water passage openings 97, the water, with the valve opening 31 released, passes from the water guide 3 into the water distribution chamber 12.
  • valve positions of the valve elements 7 and 8 can now be controlled.
  • a group of control elements 92, 93, 94 lie on a circular path and act on a rotation of the control device on the valve element 8.
  • Another control 95th is arranged in the radial direction offset from the other control elements 92, 93, 94 and provided for actuating the valve element 7.
  • valve lift (y) is dependent on the control element acting on the associated valve element.
  • the valve lift (y) of a valve element 7, 8 can be variably provided.
  • a shut-off position is first again achieved before, for example, the control element 95 simultaneously acts on the valve element 7 and the control element 92 on the valve element 8.
  • both the valve openings 31 and 34 are opened, so that both air and water enter the water distribution chamber 12 and are mixed there. From the jet outlet openings 44 thus emerge ventilated spray jets, which have a different spray pattern than effervescent jets without air.
