Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a cistern with hydraulic actuation of the drain fitting according to the preamble of claim 1.

STATE OF THE ART

To open the outlet valve of a cistern, the closure body must be lifted by means of an actuator from the valve seat. For this purpose, a key is usually pressed by hand and the movement of the key is then deflected to the closure body, which is raised by a closure position closing the outlet opening in a flushing position releasing the outlet opening.

From the DE 103 00 931 a cistern has become known, in which the closure body of the outlet valve can be raised by means of the water pressure. The movement of the closure body is controlled here via a cylinder, wherein the cylinder raises the closure body accordingly.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In the FIGS. 1 and 2 a Spülkastenanordnung 1 is shown with partially cut cistern shown 2.

The cistern assembly 1 comprises a cistern 2 having a wall 4 bounding an interior 3 and having an inlet opening penetrating the wall 2 and having an outlet opening penetrating the wall 4. The outlet opening is not shown in the present figures, but is located in the bottom, ie at the substantially lowest point of the cistern 2. Furthermore, the cistern assembly 1 comprises a arranged in the interior 3 and in the interior 3 liftable closure body 5. The closure body 5 is through a Lifting device 6 from one the outlet opening closing closure position in a the outlet opening releasing rinsing position can be raised. In the closed position, therefore, no water can be removed from the cistern 2, because the outlet opening is closed by the closure body. In the rinsing position, in which the closure body 5 releases the outlet opening, the rinsing water flows out of the cistern 2 and can be supplied to a toilet or a urinal for rinsing it. After flushing the closure body 5 is again placed in the closed position, whereby the outlet opening is closed again. This is preferably done automatically.

Such closure body 5 are designed such that both full-flushes and Teilmengenspülungen are possible. In a full-flush, essentially the entire water content in the interior 3 of the cistern 2 is used for the flushing. In a partial flush, only a portion of the water is used for flushing.

The lifting device 6 for raising the closure body 5 or of parts of the closure body 5, such as in the FIGS. 7 and 8th shown in detail, comprises at least one lifting element 7, which acts on the closure body 5 and at least trigger element 8 for actuating the lifting element 7. The closure body 5 comprises for contacting with the lifting element 7 two clamping yokes 40. In the present embodiment, the lifting element 7 is with a Tension element 28 in conjunction, which in turn communicates with the clamping yoke 40. Other configuration, such as a direct connection between the lifting element 7 and clamping yoke 40 are also conceivable. The triggering element 8 can be controlled in various ways. Typically, the trigger member 8 is in contact with a user operable member, such as an actuator plate. Alternatively, an electronic control would be conceivable.

The lifting device 7 is connected to a water supply line, not shown. Via the water connection line, a water pressure is provided, by means of which the lifting element 7 can be actuated, so that the closure body 5 can be raised from the closed position into the flushing position. Thus, the water pressure provided by the water connection line serves as an energy source for actuating the Lifting element 7 and ultimately the raising of the closure body 5. The lifting device has for this purpose a corresponding water connection 51. In the upper part of the cistern, shut-off valves 53 are also arranged here.

The triggering element 8 comprises, as in the FIGS. 7 and 8th shown, in essence, a valve with which the lifting element is acted upon by water pressure upon actuation of the valve. The valve thus opens upon actuation of the user-operable element and thus releases the path for the water provided by the water connection line or the water pressure provided thereby, so that the lifting element 7 can be actuated.

The lifting element 7 and the triggering element 8 are arranged in a common integral housing block 9. This has the advantage that the lifting element 7 and the trigger element 8 are arranged in a single element and this can thus be very easily mounted in the cistern 2. Also eliminates the costly provision of hose connections between the lifting element 7 and trigger element 8 in the interior 3 of the cistern 2. Consequently, the installer is provided by the lifting device 6 substantially a single element to be handled.

In the present embodiment, two lifting elements 7 and two triggering elements 8 are arranged in a single housing block 9.

The housing block 9 further comprises at least one fastening element 10, with which the housing block 9 is arranged in the interior 3 of the cistern 2. The fastener 10 is preferably fixed to the housing block 9 in connection, wherein the fastener 10 may be a separate element or is formed on the housing block 9. In the present embodiment, two separate connectable with the housing block 9 fasteners 10 are arranged.

The wall 4 of the cistern 2 has recesses 11, with which the fastening element 10 is connectable. The fastener 10 protrudes with a storage portion 12 in these recesses 11, whereby the housing block 9 in Interior 3 is at least partially stored. Preferably, the fastening element 10 engages with the recesses 11 a latching connection.

The cistern 2 further has an inspection opening 13, which is arranged in the wall 4 of the cistern 2, wherein the inspection opening provides a support edge 14 on which said fastener 10 rests with a free end 15. These are with respect to the storage of the storage section 12 to an additional support. Thus, the housing block 9 is supported at two different locations with respect to the cistern 2. On the one hand on the recesses 11 and the storage section 12 and on the other hand on the free end 15. The support at two different locations allows improved storage of the housing block 9 in the cistern 2. In addition, the forces acting on the housing block 9 in raising the closure body , better transferred to the cistern 2.

Preferably, two mutually spaced fasteners 10 are present, which allows a particularly good storage of the housing block 9 and the transmission of forces even further improved.

Furthermore, the fastening element 10 can have a stop edge 23 which rests against the side of the wall 4 facing the interior 3. In this way, a particularly accurate positioning of the housing block 9 in the interior 3 can be achieved.

In the FIGS. 5, 6 and 9 can then be further recognized that the fastener 10 is formed substantially in one piece in the preferred embodiment. The fastener 10 in this embodiment includes a tab 24 and a support portion 25 that extends away from the tab 24. The tab 24 protrudes into an integrally formed on the housing block 9 receiving opening 26 a. Preferably, there is a latching connection between the tab 24 and the receiving opening 26. The support section 25 extends at an angle, in this case substantially at right angles to the tab 24. In this case, the housing block 9 partially rests on the support section 25. The support portion 25 of the storage portion 12 is then formed. Here, the storage portion 12 is connected via a transition portion 27 with the support portion 25 in connection, wherein the transition portion 27 extends as an angle to the support portion 25.

When the cistern 2 is completely filled, the housing block 9 is preferably arranged above the waterline. Thus, the housing block 9 comes on its outside not in contact with the water, which is advantageous in terms of the life of the housing block.

In the FIG. 2 can be well recognized that the lifting device 6 in the present embodiment comprises two lifting elements 7. The two lifting elements 7 are in communication with the closure body 5 and lift parts of the closure body 5 for flushing. One of the lifting elements 7 serves to trigger a partial flush and acts on the elements of the closure body 5, which are provided for the Teilmengenspülung and the other of the lifting element 7 serves to trigger the Vollmengenspülung and acts on the elements of the closure body, which are provided for the Vollmengenspülung ,

The closure body 5 is designed in a known manner to the effect that the closure body 6 allows a full flush and a partial flush.

In the FIGS. 3 to 8 It is even more clearly shown that the lifting device 6 comprises a first lifting element 7 with a first triggering element 8 and a second lifting element 7 with a second triggering element 8. The first lifting element 7 takes the triggering of a partial flush and the second lifting element 7 is used to trigger a full flush. Thus, there are two lifting element 7 are arranged, wherein both lifting element 7 are in the present embodiment with the closure body 5 in connection.

The trigger element 8 is preferably pneumatically actuated. In this case, the trigger element 8 is connected to a connection 30 with an actuating plate in connection. The actuating plate, which is not shown in the figures, in this case comprises actuating buttons, which are designed such that a pressure pulse can be provided by the actuation of the actuating buttons. For this purpose, the actuating plates include, for example, a pressure transducer. The pressure pulse is then forwarded to the terminal 30 via a line also not shown in the figures, whereby the trigger element 8 is actuated.

In the FIG. 7 the lifting elements 7 and the triggering elements 8 are shown in the closed position. In the FIG. 8 however, the lifting elements 7 and the triggering elements 8 are shown in the flushing position. The view in the FIG. 8 is symbolic. In operation, usually only one of the two lifting element 7 will be raised.

As soon as the actuating button is actuated by the user, the triggering element 8 is also actuated and acts on the rocker 31. The rocker 31 is given away around a pivot point 32, whereby a tap hole 39 of a water volume 33 is opened. Due to the water pressure P, a closure cylinder 34 can be correspondingly raised due to the opening of the water volume 33, so that a passage of the water into the piston chamber 35 of the lifting element 7 pass. As a result, the lifting element 7, according moves upward, as shown in the FIG. 8 is shown. When the pressure on the actuating button is removed, the triggering element 8 falls due to a spring 36 in the original position and closes the water volume 33 accordingly. Further, the shutter cylinder 34 is also moved to the closed position and the spring 16 returns the lifting member 7 from the scavenging position to the closing position.

The lifting element 7 comprises a piston rod 17, which is mounted in a housing block 9 and can be pushed back by a spring 16, with a piston 50. The piston rod 17 can be acted on and actuated by a hydraulic fluid. Thus, the piston rod 17 can be moved by the fluid in one direction and by the spring 16 in the other direction. In the FIG. 7 the lifting element 7 or the piston rod 17 is shown in the position in which the closure body 5 is in the closed position. In the FIG. 8 whereas the lifting element 7 or the piston rod 17 is shown in the position in which the closure body 5 is in the flushing position. Consequently, the closure body 5 is raised from the closure position to the rinse position in the interior 3.

The piston rod 17 is mounted in a cylinder opening 29 in the housing block 9. The cylinder opening 29 may, for example, be a bore or a milled recess. The Cylinder opening 29 is closed by a cover 48. Either the cover 48 or the housing block 9 have an opening 49 for the passage of the piston rod 17. Here in the present form, the lid 48 has corresponding opening 49.

The housing block 9 itself can be made, for example, from an aluminum block. Alternatively, the housing block can also be produced by a plastic injection molding process.

The lifting device 6 further has a mounting element 18 movable relative to the housing block 9 from a mounting position to a use position. The mounting member 18 provides a stop for the lifting element 7 in the mounting position. As a mounting position is essentially in the FIG. 5 understood position shown, in which the lifting elements 7 are arranged substantially in the interior of the housing block 9. If the lifting elements 7 are in the assembly position, then the housing block 9 has minimal dimensions of aces, which allows a particularly simple assembly within a cistern 2.

The mounting member 18 is fixed or held by a locking device 19 in the mounting position. The locking device 19 is designed here as a rotary knob and can be rotated by 90 degrees from a blocking the mounting member 18 in a mounting member 18 releasing position.

The mounting member 18 itself has a direction of movement from the mounting position to the use position extending groove 36 through which the locking device 19 projects therethrough. In a lower region, the groove 36 has a cylindrical widening 37 into which the locking device 19 engages accordingly. The cylindrical widening 37 stands in such a way with the locking device 19 in connection that the side walls 38 of the widening 37, which directly adjoin the groove 36, act as stop elements. The locking device 19 is eccentrically formed in the region which protrudes through the expansion 37, so that at a first position, the locking device is present on the side wall 38. In a second position, the path for the movement of the mounting member 18 then Approved.

The mounting member 18 comprises in the present embodiment, a guide portion 20 and a protruding from the guide portion 20 and a free end 21 forming stop portion 22. The lifting member 7 is in the mounting position with the stopper portion 22 in contact. As soon as the locking device is pivoted accordingly, the mounting element is moved due to the force acting on the lifting elements 7 compression springs 16 from the mounting position to the use position.

In the present embodiment, two stopper portions 22 are arranged, which project from the guide portion 20 at an angle to each other.

The guide portion 20 is movably mounted in a trained according to its cross-section, integrally formed on the housing block 9 guide portion 41 from the mounting position to the use position or from the use position to the mounting position.

The installer can therefore arrange and mount the lifting device 6 in the interior 3 of the cistern 2. After positioning and installation of the installer then solves the locking device 19 whereby the mounting member 18 is released and thus is moved from the mounting position to the use position. In the position of use, the connection between the lifting element 7 and the clamping yoke 40 of the closure body 5 then takes place. Consequently, the lifting device 6 can be arranged with minimal external dimensions in the interior and then expanded accordingly. With a view to FIG. 1 This means that although the clamping yoke 40 of the closure body 5 is disposed below the edge 14 of the inspection opening 13, a particularly simple assembly of the lifting device is allowed.

If the lifting device 6 is to be removed from the cistern again, the installer can grab the mounting member 18 on a tab 52 and move the mounting member 18 from the use position to the mounting position. As a result, the lifting elements 7 are again in the interior of the housing block. 9 emotional.

In the present embodiment, the lifting element 7 further comprises a tensioning element 28 which is pivotably arranged relative to the lifting element or cylinder 17. The tensioning element 28 makes contact with the clamping yoke 40 of the closure body 5 and the tension element 28 activates the flushing force Transfer movement of the lifting element 7 on the closure body, so that it is movable from the closure position to the release position.

The tension element 28 is designed such that it can be pivoted from a mounting position into an operative position, wherein the tension element 28 can be connected in the operative position to the closure body 5, in particular to the tension bow 40. The tension element 28 can be pivoted to the lifting element 7. The pivotability has the advantage that the connection between the yoke 40 and tension member 28 can be solved very easily.

The tension member 28 comprises in the present form a storage area 42 having an opening 43, extending from the storage area 42 tensile portion 44 and extending from the storage area 42 guide portion 45. Through the opening 43 through the cylinder 17 extends the lifting element 6. In this case, the Cylinder 17, a stop member 46, with which the tension element 28 can be raised.

The pivoting of the tension element 28 by the user by hand, as soon as the mounting member 18 is in the position of use. In this case, the user can grip the guide section 45 through the inspection opening 13 and pivot the tension element about the central axis of the cylinder 17. For this purpose, the traction element 28 may have corresponding tabs 47.

The assembly with the pivoting can be very good in the FIGS. 5 and 6 be recognized. In the FIG. 5 is the mounting member 18 in the mounting position. After actuation of the locking device 19, the mounting member 18 is moved from the mounting position due to the action of the spring force of the springs 16 in the use position. In the FIG. 6 is the mounting member 18 in the Use position and the tension element 28 were pivoted from the mounting position to the operative position. The tension element 28 now engages below the tension yoke 40 on the closure body 5. Consequently, all elements are now in the appropriate use position or effective position, and when the flush is actuated, the corresponding lifting element 7 raises the closure body from the closure position to the release position via the pulling element 28 and the clamping yoke 40.

Now, if the lifting device 6 is to be removed again from the cistern 2, so first the tension elements 28 are pivoted from the operative position to the mounting position and then then the mounting member 18 can be operated on the tab 52 accordingly.

The tension element 28 and also the tension yoke 40 have stop elements 48 at their ends, which prevent inadvertent separation of tension element 28 and tension yoke 40.
