Definitions
- the invention relates to an automatic sanitary fitting with monitored flushing function.
- Automatic sanitary fittings are basically known and are characterized inter alia by the fact that when a proximity sensor detects the approach of a hand to the housing of the sanitary fitting, the discharge of water automatically begins, either for an adjustable period of time or so long until the proximity sensor in the area of the housing no longer detects a hand. Even in the last-mentioned case, when one hand is not recognized, the outflow of water can still take place for a certain period of time, in order then to be ended automatically.
- Automatic sanitary fittings are particularly in public places such as hospitals, airports, theaters, restaurants, outdoor and indoor pools, changing rooms of sports facilities, etc. used. They generally have a one-piece housing, which is provided with at least one water inlet opening, to which a water supply line can be connected. If the housing has a manually or automatically adjustable mixing valve, the housing is provided with a further water inlet opening, to which a separate water supply line can be connected. In this case, the housing then has a cold and a hot water inlet opening. Furthermore, the housing is provided with a water outlet and has a water outlet opening. In the case of a washbasin mixer, the water outlet is usually removed from the housing.
- the water shutoff valve which is usually a solenoid valve, can be located inside or outside the enclosure Housing (namely in the water supply line) may be arranged.
- the housing has a proximity sensor, which is usually an infrared sensor. It can be detected via the proximity sensor whether there is a hand in the region of the water outlet and in particular in the region of the water outlet opening of the water outlet or approaches this area.
- the water flow through the housing of the sanitary fitting is automatically released to then be shut off again in case of non-recognition of the hand (possibly after a fixed or adjustable period of time from the non-detection of the hand).
- the automatic shut-off and release of water flow through the housing is done by an evaluation and control unit, which is connected to both the proximity sensor and receives signals from this and outputs control signals to the automatically actuated water shut-off valve.
- Such automatic sanitary fittings exist e.g. as washstand fittings and showers, in the latter case, the water outlet is formed by the shower head (and optionally by its supply line).
- the object of the invention is to provide an automatic sanitary fitting, which allows using the proximity sensor and An horrungsaktuatorik and thus in a simple way monitoring the flushing function.
- the monitoring of the rinsing function is achieved in the aforementioned sanitary fitting according to the invention that the evaluation and control unit during the release of the Wasser mallaufweges for the purpose of flushing the same and / or the water supply line when the proximity sensor during the water passage time in the area below the water outlet opening of the housing detects an object (eg hand), the Wasserabsperrventil to shut off the Wasser mallaufweges drives, the detection range of the proximity sensor by the evaluation and control unit is variable and the detection range of the proximity sensor during the flushing is greater than for automatic release of the water flow path when the proximity sensor at shut off Wasser mallaufweg detects the approach of an object.
- the signal supplied by the proximity sensor during the automatic rinsing function is evaluated in order to detect a hand approaching the water outlet or the water outlet opening during the automatic rinsing function, thereby terminating the automatic rinsing function or interrupting it for the duration of the detection of one hand.
- additional functionality of the automatic sanitary fitting no additional sensor or actuator components or the like. required. Rather, this additional functionality can only be realized by a supplementary programming of the evaluation and control unit of the automatic sanitary fitting. This leads to low production costs, which is why an additional functionality provided according to the invention equipped automatic sanitary fitting can be offered inexpensively.
- the flushing of the housing and optionally the water supply line or lines for the purpose of exchanging stagnant water or for the purpose of thermal disinfection can be automatically monitored.
- the housing of the automatic sanitary fitting according to the invention may optionally have a mixing valve which is adjustable either manually or automatically.
- the proximity sensor of the sanitary fitting according to the invention monitors the area below the water outlet and the area in front of it or the area below and in front of the water outlet opening. When looking at the housing from the front and looking at the water outlet and the water outlet opening, it is thus behind the water outlet opening.
- the proximity sensor can operate, for example, capacitively or IR-based.
- the use of magnetically sensitive proximity sensors is also conceivable, which depends on which type of objects are to be detected.
- the range of the proximity sensor is greater during the monitoring of a flushing function (increased safety distance) than with the "normal" function of the proximity sensor for enabling the water flow path.
- the automatic sanitary fittings are provided with a fixed water outlet.
- the proximity sensor is pivotally mounted together with the water outlet to the housing, so mitschwenkt with a water outlet. This has the advantage that the water outlet opening can be monitored in each swivel position of the water outlet by the proximity sensor on the approach through an object.
- the activation of the automatic flushing functions can in the sanitary fitting according to the invention either by a remote control or for example done by "manipulation" of the proximity sensor.
- the remote control sends signals to the proximity sensor, whereby the evaluation and control unit connected to the proximity sensor interprets these signals accordingly to activate the flushing function (stagnation water removal or thermal disinfection).
- a manipulation of the proximity sensor is for example possible in such a way that the proximity sensor is covered manually for a certain period of time, whereupon, for example, an acoustic or optical signal can be emitted which indicates that the flushing function starts automatically after a preset known period of time.
- the person initiating the flushing function still has sufficient time to remove his hand from a washbasin tap or, in the case of a shower tap, from the showerhead before the flushing function is initiated.
- the automatic sanitary fitting may further be characterized in that the evaluation and control the Wasserabsperrventil during the purpose of flushing the housing and optionally the water supply line water passage to shut off the same for the duration of detection of an object in the water outlet opening at break the water passage time period controls and that the evaluation and control unit controls the water shut-off valve in subsequent non-detection of the object in the region of the water outlet opening and optionally after a fixed or adjustable period of time to re-enable the water flow.
- the automatic rinse function can be completely stopped when the approach of a hand is detected during the course of the rinse function, or the automatic rinse function is interrupted for the duration of the detection of a hand or generally an object, then thereafter for the duration the remaining time remaining of the set water passage time continues to be performed.
- the inventive automatic (namely electrically controlled) working fitting can be used in all sanitary areas, where it comes to the delivery of (domestic) water.
- the invention can be used in water tables and showers.
- the proximity sensor can be arranged in or on the housing or outside of the housing.
- the water shutoff valve may be housed in the housing or in a water supply line to the housing.
- the sanitary fitting 10 has a one-piece housing 12, which can be mentally divided into a first housing part 14 and a second housing part 16 protruding therefrom.
- the first housing part 14 is provided with at least one water inlet opening 18 for connection to a water supply line 20.
- an automatically actuated Wasserabsperrventil 22 for example, designed as a solenoid valve
- the evaluation and control unit 24 receives input signals which are generated by a proximity sensor 26 (for example IR proximity sensor).
- the proximity sensor 26 is located below the second housing part 16 and is arranged on the first housing part 14.
- the proximity sensor 26 detects objects and in particular a hand in the area below the second housing part 16.
- This second housing part 16 is formed in this embodiment as a water outlet 28 and has a water outlet opening 30. Between the water inlet or outlet openings 18 on the one hand and the water outlet opening 30 on the other side, a water passage 32 extends through the housing, whereby the proximity sensor 26 thus detects, for example, a hand approaching the water outlet opening 30.
- the water passage through the housing 12 is automatically released when the proximity sensor 26 detects the approach by a hand.
- the water pass is automatically ended again when the proximity sensor 26 in the region of the water outlet opening 30 detects no hand.
- the proximity sensor 26 is used according to the invention for monitoring this rinsing function and, in particular, for detecting a hand approaching during the rinsing function.
- the water flow is automatically terminated, which injury hazards are prevented by contact of the hand with exiting the fitting 10 hot water.
- the rinsing function for the thermal disinfection of the fitting 10 no longer needs to be monitored by the person initiating this rinsing function person, which can therefore be removed from the valve 10 to initiate the thermal disinfection in, for example, in an adjoining room automatic sanitary fittings.
