  • the closure body is lifted by two tension elements or levers.
  • One of the two tension elements serves to trigger the partial flush and the other of the two tension elements is used to trigger the Vollmengenmaschineung.
  • one or the other of the two tension elements must be actuated by an actuating unit. This operation was usually solved to the effect that two tension elements are provided which can be actuated via two operating buttons.
  • the tension elements move back to the starting position and the closure body is held open by a float.
  • the closing body is flushed over the weight body during the partial flushing process and above the ventilation of the float during the full-flushing process closed.
  • the trigger usually has a relatively complex mechanics. This is disadvantageous because of the complexity of the manufacturing effort is relatively high and also the susceptibility to error of installers not professionally mounted elements is also high.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an automated driven, in particular electrically driven, actuator, with which a waste set can be operated as easily as possible.
  • the actuator should be designed as durable as possible with respect to the number of actuations.

  • Hierdruch a particularly simple trained device can be provided.
  • the drive always moves from the rest position to only two positions, namely the Operamengen Whyposition and Vollmengen Whyposition, which significantly increases the life of the drive.
  • the output element only loosely engages one of the two rinse levers, that is, not in a firm bond with the same.
  • the flushing lever is raised against gravity.
  • the actuating device further comprises a switching element, with which the connection provided by the coupling element between Generalmengen Whyhebel and Vollmengen Whyhebel can be canceled, wherein the switching element is on the route between rest position and Vollmengen Whyposition or between rest position and Operamengen Whyposition.
  • the cancellation of the connection of the two rinse lever has the advantage that one with the two rinse in combination standing waste set can be operated easily.
  • the coupling element Upon reaching the rest position, the coupling element engages with the flushing lever, with which the coupling element is not in communication again, so that the connection between the two flushing levers can be restored.
  • the coupling element is designed as a pawl, which is pivotable to the corresponding flushing lever, wherein the other flushing lever without the coupling element has a driving element which enters into a latching connection with the pawl.
  • the output element can preferably be brought into engagement with the full-quantity rinse lever or the partial quantity rinse lever.
  • the output member of the drive In the rest position, the output member of the drive is therefore not in connection with the rinse lever and then attacks after the operation of the rinse lever.

  • the waste set is kept open via appropriate flushing units, such as a Vollmengenpülmaschine or a sectionmengenpülmaschine until the desired flush volume was removed from the cistern.
  • the output element of the drive engages a molded on the Vollmengen Whyhebel or Operamengen Whyhebel?"
  • the switching element is provided by a stop on which the coupling element is present during the movement, wherein upon reaching the stop, the connection between Vollmengen Whyhebel and Operamengen Whyhebel can be canceled.
  • a cistern assembly includes an actuator as described above, a cistern having an interior bounding wall and a wall penetrating inlet opening and having a wall penetrating outlet opening with a valve seat and a drain fitting with a in the interior lift the closure opening in a closed position closing closure body, wherein the closure body is movable from the closure position into a rinsing position releasing the outlet opening.

Rather, the output element 5 only serves to raise the corresponding flushing lever 2, 3 from its rest position to the corresponding flushing position. There is no firm connection between connecting element 5 and flushing lever 2, 3rd
  • the output element 5 is brought into motion with the Vollmengen Introducehebel 2 or with the Operamengen Uberhebel 3 when moving from the rest position in the Vollmengen Introduceposition or in the Generalmengen Meetingposition. In the rest position, the output element 5 is not in engagement with the corresponding rinse levers, which has the advantage that the rinse in an emergency can be easily triggered by hand. Immediately after reaching the desired rinsing position, the output element 5 is moved back to the rest position.
  • the drive can be designed in various ways. Preferably, it is an electric motor 4, in particular a servomotor. Alternatively, the drive can also be designed otherwise, for example as a mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic drive. In the following, the term "motor" is used to describe the drive, which includes all types of suitable drives.
  • the engine 4 substantially travels two positions, namely, the partial purge position and the full-purge position, from the rest position. After reaching the corresponding flushing position, the motor 4 then moves back to the rest position.
