In the control element are several flow channels for selection, which cooperate with the adjoining and serving as a control element wall portions of the mounting element such that a flow channel larger flow cross section or a flow channel contrast selected smaller flow cross section or the flow through the mounting element can be completely blocked.

Aus der DE 10 2006 057 795 B ist auch bereits ein sanitäres Einbauelement bekannt, das ebenfalls in den Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur einsetzbar und als Strahlregler ausgestaltet ist. Der als Einbauelement dienende vorbekannte Strahlregler soll das aus der Auslaufarmatur austretende Wasser zu einem homogenen und nicht-spritzenden Wasserstrahl formen. Das vorbekannte Einbauelement weist einen zentralen Reinigungskanal auf, dessen Kanaleinlass am Grund eines konkaven und sich in Durchströmrichtung verjüngenden, zuströmseitig vorgeschalteten Vorsatzsiebes vorgesehen ist. Im Bereich der Kanalöffnung ist eine als Sperrventil ausgebildete Stelleinrichtung vorgesehen, deren Ventilkörper von einer Offenstellung aus entweder unter dem Druck des zuströmenden Wassers oder auch manuell an einem mit dem Ventilkörper verbundenen Bedienelement gegen eine Rückstellkraft in eine Schließstellung bewegbar ist. Da das Sperrventil nach jeder Wasserentnahme die zum Reinigungskanal führende Kanalöffnung wieder öffnet, können die im Wasser mitgeführten und auf der Sieboberfläche des Vorsatzsiebes zurückgehaltenen Schmutzpartikel bei einer nachfolgenden Wasserentnahme zunächst durch den Reinigungskanal weggespült werden, bevor das Sperrventil während der Wasserentnahme wieder schließt. Jede Öffnungs- und Schließbewegung des Sperrventils bedeutet gleichzeitig, dass der Durchflussquerschnitt des Einbauelementes vergrößert oder verkleinert und somit verändert wird.From the DE 10 2006 057 795 B is already a sanitary installation element known, which is also used in the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting and designed as a jet regulator. Serving as a built-in prior art jet regulator is to form the emerging from the outlet fitting water to a homogeneous and non-squirting water jet. The previously known installation element has a central cleaning channel, the channel inlet of which is provided at the base of a concave and in the flow direction tapered, inflow upstream upstream filter screen. In the region of the channel opening designed as a check valve actuator is provided, the valve body is movable from an open position either under the pressure of the incoming water or manually on a connected to the valve body control against a restoring force in a closed position. Since the shut-off valve opens the channel leading to the cleaning channel again after each removal of water, they can be carried along in the water and on the sieve surface of the attachment sieve retained dirt particles are first flushed away in a subsequent removal of water through the cleaning channel before the check valve closes again during the withdrawal of water. Each opening and closing movement of the shut-off valve means at the same time that the flow cross-section of the installation element is increased or decreased and thus changed.

Da in den verschiedenen Ländern unterschiedliche Spezifikationen im sanitären Wassersystem vorzufinden sind, ist eine entsprechende Vielzahl von Strahlreglern erforderlich, um den landestypischen Spezifikationen gerecht zu werden. Die Vielzahl von Strahlreglern erfordert einen nicht unerheblichen Herstellungs- und Bevorratungsaufwand. Da die von verschiedenen Herstellern angebotenen Auslaufarmaturen einen unterschiedlichen und teils auch hohen hydraulischen Widerstand leisten, werden zum Einregeln der pro Zeiteinheit maximal austretenden Wassermenge unterschiedliche Durchflussmengenregler erforderlich, wodurch der Herstellungs- und Bevorratungsaufwand noch zusätzlich erhöht ist.As there are different specifications in the sanitary water system in the different countries, a corresponding large number of jet regulators is required to meet the country-specific specifications. The variety of beam regulators requires a considerable manufacturing and storage costs. Since the discontinuation valves offered by various manufacturers provide a different and sometimes also high hydraulic resistance, different flow rate regulators are required for adjusting the maximum amount of water per unit time, whereby the manufacturing and storage costs are increased even further.

Es besteht daher insbesondere die Aufgabe, ein zur Reduzierung des Herstellungs- und Bevorratungsaufwands bestimmtes und zur Anpassung an die individuellen Wünsche des betreffenden Anwenders und/oder an die spezifischen sanitären Umgebungsbedingungen möglichst vielseitig einsetzbares sanitäres Einbauelement der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, das eine Alternativlösung zum Betätigen des Regelelements beinhaltet.It is therefore the object in particular to provide a sanitary installation element of the type mentioned at the outset which is intended to reduce the production and storage costs and which is as versatile as possible to adapt to the individual wishes of the user concerned and / or to the specific sanitary environment conditions Actuation of the control element includes.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei dem sanitären Einbauelement der eingangs erwähnten Art insbesondere darin, dass das wenigstens eine Bedienelement drehbar, aber in Längsrichtung des Einbauelements unverrückbar gelagert ist, dass das Stellelement in Längsrichtung verschieblich und drehfest geführt ist, und dass eine Drehbewegung an diesem Bedienelement in eine Längsbewegung des Stellelementes umsetzbar ist.The inventive solution to this problem is in the sanitary installation element of the type mentioned in particular that the at least one control rotatable, but is immovably mounted in the longitudinal direction of the mounting element, that the adjusting element is guided displaceably in the longitudinal direction and rotationally fixed, and that a rotational movement of this operating element in a longitudinal movement of the actuating element can be implemented.

Das erfindungsgemäße Einbauelement, das in den Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur einsetzbar und dort lösbar gehalten ist, weist eine Stelleinrichtung auf, die zum Verändern des lichten Durchflussquerschnitts des Einbauelements und/oder der Durchflussleistung bestimmt ist. Die Stelleinrichtung des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauelements ist über wenigstens ein Bedienelement betätigbar, das an der Zuströmseite des Einbauelements und/oder an dessen Abströmseite betätigbar angeordnet ist. Die Stelleinrichtung hat ein Regelelement und ein damit zusammenwirkendes Stellelement, deren Relativposition zum Verändern des Durchflussquerschnitts oder der Durchflussleistung mittels dem wenigstens einen Bedienelement veränderbar ist. Während wenigstens ein Bedienelement drehbar, aber in Längsrichtung unverrückbar gelagert ist, ist das damit zusammenwirkende Stellelement in Längsrichtung verschieblich und drehfest geführt, derart, dass eine Drehbewegung an dem Bedienelement in eine Längsbewegung des Stellelements umsetzbar ist. Durch Betätigen der Stelleinrichtung an dem, an der Zuström- oder Abströmseite des Einbauelements angeordneten Bedienelement, kann der lichte Durchflussquerschnitt und/oder die pro Zeiteinheit maximal austretende Wassermenge derart verändert werden, dass das erfindungsgemäße Einbauelement den unterschiedlichen lokalen Vorbedingungen im Leitungsnetz gerecht wird. Da ein und dasselbe Einbauelement an die Spezifikationen der in verschiedenen Ländern vorzufindenden Wassernetze angepasst werden kann, ist die Herstellung und Bevorratung verschiedener Strahlreglerausführungen nicht mehr zwingend erforderlich.The installation element according to the invention, which is used in the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting and kept detachable there, has an adjusting device which is intended for changing the clear flow cross section of the installation element and / or the flow rate. The adjusting device of the installation element according to the invention can be actuated via at least one operating element which is arranged to be actuated on the inflow side of the installation element and / or on its outflow side. The adjusting device has a control element and a control element cooperating therewith, whose relative position for changing the flow cross-section or the flow rate by means of the at least one control element is variable. While at least one control element is rotatable but non-displaceably mounted in the longitudinal direction, the co-operating control element is displaceable in the longitudinal direction and rotatably guided, such that a rotational movement on the operating element in a longitudinal movement of the actuating element can be implemented. By operating the adjusting device on the, on the inflow or outflow side of the mounting element arranged operating element, the clear flow cross-section and / or the maximum per unit time exiting water quantity can be changed so that the installation element of the invention is the different local preconditions in the pipe network fair. Since one and the same installation element can be adapted to the specifications of the water networks to be found in different countries, the production and storage of various jet regulator designs is no longer absolutely necessary.

Um eine kontrollierte und/oder wiederholbare Stellbewegung zu erreichen, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn das Stellelement in Längsrichtung der Stelleinrichtung beweglich geführt ist.In order to achieve a controlled and / or repeatable adjusting movement, it is expedient if the adjusting element is guided movably in the longitudinal direction of the adjusting device.

Die Drehbewegung am Bedienelement lässt sich besonders einfach in eine Längsbewegung des Stellelements umsetzen, wenn an wenigstens einem Bedienelement ein vorzugsweise koaxial zur Stelleinrichtung angeordneter Gewindezapfen vorsteht, der in eine Gewindeöffnung im Stellelement eingreift.The rotational movement on the operating element can be converted into a longitudinal movement of the adjusting element particularly easily if at least one operating element projects a threaded pin, which is preferably arranged coaxially with respect to the adjusting device and engages in a threaded opening in the adjusting element.

Die vorbekannten Einbauelemente weisen regelmäßig ein zuströmseitiges Filter- oder Vorsatzsieb auf, das im Wasser unbeabsichtigt mitgeführte Schmutzpartikel zurückhalten und das Einbauelement vor verschmutzungsbedingten Verstopfungen bewahren soll.The previously known installation elements regularly have an inflow-side filter or attachment screen, which is intended to withhold inadvertently entrained dirt particles in the water and to protect the installation element from contamination-related blockages.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung von eigener schutzwürdiger Bedeutung sieht vor, dass die Stelleinrichtung als Durchflussmengenregler ausgebildet ist, der einen ringförmigen Drosselkörper aus elastischem Material hat, welcher zwischen sich und einer an einer benachbarten Innen- und/oder Außenumfangswandung vorgesehenen Regelprofilierung einen Steuerspalt begrenzt, welcher Steuerspalt in seinem lichten Durchflussquerschnitt mittels dem unter dem Druck des durchdringenden Fluids verformenden Drosselkörper veränderbar ist. Eine solche, als einstellbarer Durchflussmengenregler ausgestaltete Stelleinrichtung erlaubt es, das sanitäre Einbauelement auf eine Durchflussleistung einzustellen, die den am Einsatzort vorgefundenen Spezifikationen des Wassernetzes entspricht.A preferred development of its own meaning worthy of protection provides that the adjusting device is designed as a flow regulator, which has an annular throttle body made of elastic material, which defines a control gap between itself and one provided on an adjacent inner and / or outer peripheral wall control profile, which control gap in its clear flow cross section is variable by means of deforming under the pressure of the penetrating fluid throttle body. Such, configured as an adjustable flow regulator actuator allows you to set the sanitary installation element to a flow rate that corresponds to the found at the site specifications of the water network.

Um mit Hilfe einer solchen, als Durchflussmengenregler ausgebildeten Stelleinrichtung verschiedene vorwählbare Durchflussleistungen realisieren zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Innen- und/oder die Außenumfangswandung zumindest in ihrem die Regelprofilierung aufweisen Teilbereich und/oder die Regelprofilierung sich in ihrem lichten Querschnitt in Längsrichtung erweitern.In order to be able to realize various preselectable flow rates with the aid of such an adjusting device designed as a flow rate regulator, it is advantageous if the inner and / or the outer circumferential wall expand in their longitudinal direction in their clear cross section, at least in their part profiling and / or the control profiling ,

Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn ein zur Auflage für den Drosselkörper bestimmtes Auflager oder die die Regelprofilierung aufweisende Innen- und/oder Außenumfangswandung als Stellelement ausgestaltet ist, welches mit der als Regelelement ausgebildeten Innen- und/oder Außenumfangswandung oder dem Auflager zusammenwirkt. Während ein Ausführungsbeispiel vorsieht, dass das zur Auflage für den Drosselkörper bestimmte Auflager als Stellelement und die Innen- und/oder Außenumfangswandung als Regelelement ausgestaltet ist, besteht ein anderes Ausführungsbeispiel darin, dass demgegenüber die Innen- und/oder Außenumfangswandung als Stellelement und das zum Auflegen des Drosselkörpers vorgesehene Auflager als Regelelement dienen.It is expedient if a support which is intended to rest for the throttle body or the inner and / or outer peripheral wall having the control profiling is designed as an actuating element which is designed with the control element Inner and / or Außenumfangswandung or the support cooperates. While an embodiment provides that the bearing for the throttle body certain bearing is designed as an actuator and the inner and / or Außenumfangswandung as a control element, another embodiment is that in contrast, the inner and / or Außenumfangswandung as an actuating element and for laying the throttle body provided supports serve as a control element.

Die vielseitige Anwendbarkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Einbauelements wird begünstigt, wenn die Stelleinrichtung auf der Zuströmseite eines Strahlreglers oder dergleichen sanitären Einbauteiles lösbar befestigbar ist. Ein solches Einbauelement, bei dem die Stelleinrichtung lösbar am Strahlregler oder dergleichen befestigt ist, kann wahlweise entweder mit oder ohne die Stelleinrichtung betrieben werden.The versatility of the installation element according to the invention is favored when the adjusting device on the upstream side of a jet regulator or the like sanitary fixture is releasably fastened. Such a mounting element, in which the actuating device is releasably attached to the jet regulator or the like, can be operated either with or without the adjusting device.

Weitere Merkmale gemäß der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung sowie den Ansprüchen. Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand verschiedener Ausführungsbeispiele noch näher beschrieben.Further features according to the invention will become apparent from the description and the claims. The invention will be described in more detail with reference to various embodiments.

In den Figuren 1 bis 48 sind verschiedene Ausführungen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 und 7 eines sanitären Einbauelementes dargestellt. Die Einbauelemente 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 und 7 sind in ein hier nicht weiter dargestelltes Auslaufmundstück am Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur einsetzbar und dort lösbar gehalten. Um den lichten Durchflussquerschnitt oder die Durchflussleistung (= Durchfluss von Wasser pro Zeiteinheit in l/min) verändern und an die jeweiligen Spezifikationen des am Einsatzort vorhandenen Leitungsnetzes anpassen zu können, weisen die Einbauelemente 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 und 7 jeweils eine Stelleinrichtung auf, die über ein Bedienelement 8 betätigbar ist. Während das Bedienelement 8 bei dem Einbauelement 5 gemäß den Figuren 28 bis 34 auf der Abströmseite des Einbauelementes 5 vorgesehen ist, ist-das Bedienelement 8 bei den Einbauelementen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 und 7 gemäß den Figuren 1 bis 27 und 35 bis 48 auf der Zuströmseite dieser Einbauelemente angeordnet.In the FIGS. 1 to 48 Different versions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of a sanitary installation element are shown. The mounting elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are used in a not further illustrated outlet nozzle at the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting and held there detachable. In order to be able to change the clear flow cross-section or the flow capacity (= flow of water per unit time in l / min) and to adapt it to the respective specifications of the line network present at the place of use, the installation elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in each case an adjusting device which can be actuated via an operating element 8. While the operating element 8 in the installation element 5 according to the FIGS. 28 to 34 is provided on the downstream side of the mounting element 5, is the operating element 8 in the mounting elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 according to the FIGS. 1 to 27 and 35 to 48 arranged on the inflow side of these mounting elements.
