  • Electronically controlled thermostatic valves for generating a mixed water flow to be dispensed via an associated water outlet are known in the form of so-called surface-mounted fittings, in which the electronically controllable temperature and volume control unit is arranged in a fitting body to be mounted on a wall.
  • the fitting body can be connected to the outgoing from the wall inlet pipes for the cold and warm water. So far, no flush-mounted solutions for such electronically controlled thermostatic valves have become known in the prior art.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to make a flush mounting for an electronically controlled thermostatic valve with a connected water outlet possible.
  • the invention provides in its basic idea a concealed installation box for an electronically controllable and connectable to inflow pipes for cold and hot water temperature and volume control unit having mixing module for connecting at least one water outlet for the mixed water produced, wherein in the interior of the flush-mounted box to Adjustment of temperature and amount of mixed water to be produced motorized adjustable temperature and volume control unit is arranged and in the installation box also connected to the inflow water distribution element with two water inputs and two water outlets and formed therebetween, one mechanically operated shut-off valve and a downstream muffler having waterways used and connect the temperature and volume control unit to the water outlets of the water distribution element and a mixed water outlet with a to Einbaukas connected in the installation box on the one hand to the temperature and volume control unit and on the other hand to a control unit to be connected distributor module and to be connected to the distributor module electronic control module and the distributor module via a formed on the mounting box cable gland with an outside of the Installation box arranged power source is connected
  • the electronically controllable temperature and volume control unit constituting the core of the mixing module is arranged for the first time in a concealed installation box.
  • the temperature and volume control unit combined with a water distribution element, which between the house-side inflow and the temperature and Volume control unit is interposed.
  • the water distribution element serves to receive shut-off valves and water silencers in the cold and warm water paths formed separately in the water distribution element.
  • the mechanical shut-off valves serve only maintenance purposes when the electronically controlled temperature and volume control unit has to be maintained or replaced.
  • the water silencers which are likewise arranged in the assigned water paths of the water distribution element, are connected upstream of the temperature and volume control unit and thus fulfill their function before the entry of the cold or warm water into the temperature and volume control unit.
  • the modular system provided for the formation of the mixing module is completed by an electronic control module and a distribution module serving the power supply of the mixing module, which in turn is connected to a current source outside the mixing module and via the power supply of the motor driving the temperature and volume control unit and in the Control module integrated control takes place.
  • the water distribution element four externally accessible connecting pieces for inserting a respective shut-off valve and a silencer in the running in the interior of the water distribution element between the respective water inlet and the associated water outlet, separate waterways for the cold and the warm Has water,
  • connection of the water distribution element to the building supply lines and the connection between the water distribution element and the temperature and volume control unit are each formed as sealed connectors, so that the water distribution element and the Temperature and Volume control unit only one hand plugged into the box and on the other hand must be put together.
  • the assembly of the mixing unit is further simplified if, according to an embodiment of the invention, the electronic control module and the distributor module can be connected to one another via an electrical plug connection.
  • provision may be made for an operating area forming an operating unit and a water outlet to be attached to a cover closing the installation box and for the operating area to be connected to the distributor module via a cable connection.
  • an operating unit is arranged at a spatial distance from the installation box with the water outlet arranged thereon and is connected to the distributor module via a connecting line guided through an associated cable feedthrough formed on the installation box.
  • FIGURE shows a mixing module arranged in a flush-mounting box in a single view with an exploded perspective view of its individual components including an associated water outlet.
  • a flush-mounting box 40 which is provided at its outer periphery with eyelets 41 for attachment of the mounting box, for example on a wall.
  • the installation box 40 is closed in its bottom area by means of a bottom closure cap 35, are formed in the ducts 36 for the wall-side inlet lines for the cold and warm water.
  • a water distribution element 50 with a water inlet 16 for cold water and a water inlet 17 for hot water in the context of a sealing plug connection can be mounted on the wall-side inflow lines.
  • the water distribution element 50 In the water distribution element 50 are separated, the water inlet 16 for cold water or the water inlet 17 for hot water with a water outlet 18 for the cold water or a water outlet 19 for the warm water connecting waterways formed, in each of these waterways a check valve and a downstream water muffler are used.
  • the water distribution element 50 is provided with a total of four externally accessible connecting pieces, with two connecting pieces 20 for receiving a shut-off valve and with two connecting pieces 21 for receiving a water silencer. In each case, first of all a connection piece 20 with a shut-off valve inserted therein is connected downstream of the associated water inlet 16 or 17.
  • the shut-off valve is mechanically confirmed and serves essentially to shut off the flow of water into the water distribution element 50 and downstream components when maintenance or repair of the mixing module 10 is required.
  • a water muffler is arranged, which can be inserted into the water distribution element 50 via the associated connection piece 21, wherein the connection piece 21 is correspondingly closed after insertion of the water muffler.
  • a temperature and volume control unit 22 is connected with their not shown inputs for the cold and warm water to the water outlets 18 and 19 of the water distribution element 50, again in the context of a known sealing plug connection.
  • the temperature and volume control unit 22 takes place a mixture of cold and warm water at the desired temperature with adjustment of the desired mixed water flow, via the control or actuation of corresponding electric motors, the formation of the temperature and volume control unit 22 in detail not subject matter of the present invention.
  • the mixed water generated in the temperature and volume control unit 22 enters the water distribution element 50 via a mixed water inlet 23 located at the water distribution element 50 and flows from here via a water path formed in the interior of the water distribution element 50 to two outlets shown in the present embodiment at the water distribution element 50 11 for the mixed water. If only one outlet 11 is required to connect a water outlet, the other outlet 11 is closed accordingly.
  • a control module 24 is also used, which is provided in particular for controlling the motor-driven adjustable temperature and volume control unit 22.
  • a plurality of cable connections 25 are indicated on the control module 24, to the arranged on the temperature and volume control unit 22 motors or in the hot water supply for the temperature and volume control unit 22 and in the mixed water (mixed water 11 or mixed water inlet 23) used sensors, by means of which a monitoring of the mixing production takes place.
  • the structure of the functional units necessary for the mixing module 10 is completed by a distributor module 26, which is likewise arranged in the interior of the installation box 40 and has a cable feed 27, which in turn is led outside the installation box 40 through a cable feedthrough 28 formed on the installation box 40, so that the distributor module 26 can be connected to an outside of the installation box 40 at any point arranged power source.
  • the distributor module 26 has a connector 29, by means of which the distributor module 26 can be plugged together with the control module 24, so that a power supply of the control module 24 is initially ensured via the distributor module 26.
  • the distributor module 26 then has two adjacent cable bushings 30 and a further cable bushing 31 for connecting further control lines, for example for functional units arranged outside the installation box in the form of changeover switches.
  • a mounting plate 32 and a sealing and mounting frame 33 is inserted with a lid 55 in the mounting box 40, wherein in the lid 55, an operating area 34 is arranged as a control unit.
  • the operating area 34 may be connected via an internal cable connection to the manifold block 26, so that via actuations made in accordance with the operating area control of the temperature and volume control unit 22 to the water outlet 60 can take place, which in the illustrated embodiment of Invention is also attached to the lid 55.
  • a corresponding operating unit can also be provided outside of the installation box 40 with the water outlet 60 arranged on its lid 55.
  • an externally arranged operating unit via a separate and provided on the mounting box 40 additional cable bushing 28 in the interior of the installation box 40 to lead cable connection to the distribution block 26, namely on the cable socket 31, connectable.
  • the structure of the mixing module 10 also makes it possible to connect from outside data lines via the distributor block 26 to the control module 24 and so make a query of state data or feed additional control commands, so that a computer-aided operation of the mixing module with attached water outlet is possible.
