Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control arrangement for the actuation of actuators of a water fitting according to the preamble of claim 1 and a water fitting according to claim 11.
  • water fitting is to be understood in the present case. It includes all components that are directly or indirectly related to the water outlet operation. These include all types of water outlet points, all types of electrical actuators such as water outlet valves for regulating the water outlet or mixing units for regulating the water temperature, eccentric for regulating the water drainage, atomizing units for dispensing fragrances, mist generators o. The like .. But such a water valve includes all Types of control components and associated control units, each equipped with at least one control element.
  • a water fitting in the present sense is versatile. In the foreground are the areas of application of bathroom and kitchen, which is not to be understood as limiting.
  • the known control arrangement ( EP 1 953 299 A1 ), from which the invention proceeds, is used to control electrical actuators of a water fitting, wherein operating parameters such as water temperature and water outflow rate for the operation of the water fitting can be manipulated by controlling the actuators.
  • the control arrangement is associated with an electrical control unit and a plurality of operating units, each having a control element in the form of a pushbutton.
  • operating parameters can be entered, such as the water temperature or the Wasserauslassstelle to be acted upon with water.
  • the operating units of the known control arrangement are configured separately from one another so that the manipulation of operating parameters can be carried out where it is particularly convenient for the operator.
  • the known control arrangement simplifies, for example, the input of the operating parameter of the desired water temperature in that the water temperature is displayed in a dedicated display.
  • the possibilities of increasing comfort with the known control arrangement which basically result from the "automation" of the water fitting, are far from exhausted.
  • the invention is based on the problem, the known control arrangement to design and further develop that a comfort increase with simple operating means is possible.
  • control unit of the control arrangement provides at least one automatic function, in which the control unit, triggered by the operation of a control element, controls a manipulation or a manipulation sequence of operating parameters according to a predetermined rule.
  • the automatic function may assist the operator in setting the optimum operating parameters, for example. This is advantageous, for example, if the water fitting is equipped with a plurality of water outlet points, to each of which a plurality of operating parameters can be assigned.
  • a dynamic Auto atikf tion results in an automatic flow of manipulation of operating parameters.
  • whole operating parameter choreographies be "played". This applies, for example, to SPA applications as an important convenience function.
  • An above automatic function can considerably simplify the operation of the water fitting as mentioned above. For example, it is possible to achieve a complex constellation of operating parameters with a single keystroke.
  • shortcut control operator control element is provided on the adjustment towards the control unit during operation always, ie from any control state out, the shortcut control operator permanently assigned shortcut operating parameters manipulated directly, which shortcut operating parameters otherwise, however indirectly on an operation of another control element, in particular by an automatic function, can be manipulated.
  • operator is to be understood in the present case and includes any operating element that allows a continuous, user-side adjustment of an operating parameter.
  • a continuous adjustment in this sense for example, also takes place when an operation of "+/-" - leads to an incremental adjustment of the respective operating parameter.
  • the immediate manipulation by the shortcut operator it is meant that the time and extent of the manipulation are directly related to the time and extent of the adjustment of the shortcut operator.
  • the control unit thus performs any manipulation of the shortcut operator in accordance with the operation, thus directly manipulating the assigned operating parameter. This allows the operator to set the operating parameter to any parameter values as needed.
  • the time and scope of the manipulation are not directly related to the time and / or extent of the operation of the further operating element.
  • a static automatic function mentioned above, this is the case when the shortcut operating parameter in addition to other operating parameters is set according to a predetermined rule.
  • manipulation by the operator can be triggered here.
  • the extent of the manipulation can not be directly influenced by the operation itself.
  • the dynamic automatic function whereby the operation and the manipulation are additionally offset in terms of time.
  • the shortcut operating parameters are the water temperature on the one hand and the water outflow rate on the other hand, as will be explained.
  • immediate manipulation of the shortcut operating parameter may possibly be provided manipulation limits. This is the case, for example, when the shortcut operating parameter concerning a water temperature would exceed a preset scavenging temperature. Then, according to claim 4, the control unit would block further manipulation.
  • the shortcut operating parameters are a water temperature and a water outflow rate.
  • the two associated shortcut operator can be summarized on a control unit, which in turn is configured as such separately installable to the other control units. This ensures that the operator's key shortcut controls are located exactly where they are expected by the user. In a further variant according to claim 6, it is further preferably so that the two shortcut controls are configured separately installable. This provides further flexibility in the design of the water fitting.
  • control units plays a very important role in the present case. For example, it is conceivable that certain operating parameters are entered at a central location of a bath, for example in the entrance area. According to the invention, it may be provided that an automatic function is started from there. Then, the operator goes into the bleach area o. The like., Which are in any case the shortcut control panel, so that the above-mentioned, immediate access to the most important operating parameters is ensured.
  • a water fitting is claimed with electrical actuators and with a proposed control arrangement for the control of these actuators. Reference may be made to all statements on the proposed control arrangement.
  • the proposed control arrangement is used to control electric actuators 1-4 a water faucet 5. It was noted above that it can act in the electric actuators 1-4 actuators of any kind.
  • the actuators 1-3 are designed as electrical water outlet valves, while the actuator 4 is configured as an electrical atomizer unit for the ufterzeugung.
  • the water outlet valves 1-3 are each equipped with an integrated mixing unit, not shown, so that the influx of the Hot water line 5a can be mixed with the influx of the cold water line 5b in the valve. This makes it possible to realize a separate water temperature for each water outlet.
  • the illustrated water faucet 5 is installed as part of a bathing application comprising a hand basin, a bathtub and a shower unit.
  • the explanation of the shower unit is present in the foreground, which is not to be understood as limiting.
  • the water outlet valves 1-3 are arranged directly at the respective Wasserauslassstellen.
  • a synopsis of Fig. 1 and 2 shows that the water outlet valve 1 is associated with a hand shower, the water outlet valve 2 a surge shower and the water outlet valve 3 of a ceiling shower. It is also conceivable that a central water outlet valve is provided for all Wasserauslassstellen.
  • the operation of the water fitting 5 can be described by a number of operating parameters. These include, for example, the water temperature and the water outflow rate at the individual water outlet valves 1-3, the atomization rate of the atomizer unit 4 o. The like ..
  • the control arrangement has at least one, here exactly one, electric control unit 6 and at least two, here and preferably seven, electrical, separately installable configured 7-13 with at least one, here and preferably exactly one, control element 14-20 for input from operating parameters.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the control unit 6 with the actuators 1-4 on the one hand and with the controls 14-20 on the other hand control technology coupled. Based on the input or preset operating parameters, the control unit 6 controls the actuators 1-4.
  • an interesting feature of the illustrated and so far preferred embodiment is the fact that the operating units 7-13 are designed to be installed separately from each other.
  • the operating units 7-13 are freely positionable during installation, as far as the control technology coupling allows. It is conceivable that a separately installable configured control unit has more than one control. This may be advantageous in terms of simplified installation.
  • control unit and "control element” may be noted that it is the control element exclusively to the element for receiving the operator action, while it is the control unit to the complete unit including attachment means for installation o . acts.
  • control unit 6 provides at least one automatic function, in which the control unit 6 determines a manipulation of the operating parameters based on the operating parameters according to a predetermined rule and controls the actuators 1-4 accordingly. This allows complex constellations of operating parameters to be implemented in a way that is simple for the operator.
  • two of the operating units 7-13 each have an operating element 14, 15, which is designed as a shortcut operator.
  • the control unit 6 Upon adjustment of a shortcut operator 14, 15, the control unit 6 always and immediately manipulates a shortcut operating parameter permanently assigned to the shortcut operator 14, 15 during operation, as explained above.
  • the shortcut operating parameter may be manipulated otherwise, but indirectly.
  • Such an indirect manipulation can be provided within the scope of an above-mentioned automatic function or else within the scope of a multi-level operation of a further operating element.
  • the particular advantage of the proposed solution consists precisely in that the user can make an immediate change of the shortcut operating parameter via the adjustment of the shortcut operator 14, 15 as an abbreviation to the above, otherwise indirect manipulability of the shortcut operating parameter.
  • a particularly intuitive operation of the shortcut operator 14, 15 adjusts itself by the fact that the manipulation of the shortcut operating parameter takes place to some extent synchronously with the adjustment of the associated shortcut operator 14, 15.
  • the term "synchronous" here means that, subject to the above manipulation limits, each adjustment of the shortcut operator 14, 15 is accompanied by a corresponding manipulation of the shortcut operating parameter.
  • the associated operating parameter is in a strictly monotonically increasing ratio to the adjustment of the control panel 14, 15. This means that an increasing adjustment of the shortcut control panel 14, 15 is always accompanied by an increase in the associated shortcut operating parameter and that decreasing adjustment of the shortcut operator 14, 15 is accompanied by a decrease in the shortcut operating parameter.
  • two shortcut operating parameters namely the water temperature and the water outflow rate are provided to which the shortcut operator controls 14, 15 are respectively assigned. It is also conceivable that only a single shortcut operating parameter or several shortcut operating parameters is or are provided.
  • the adjustment of a shortcut operator 14, 15 basically leads to a corresponding manipulation of the assigned shortcut operating parameter.
  • the manipulation limit is preferred a maximum temperature that should not be exceeded in terms of scalding protection. In the event that the manipulation of the water temperature would exceed the maximum temperature, it will be run through the above lockout routine which inhibits further manipulation of the water temperature.
  • control unit 6 interrupts or terminates an indirect manipulation triggered by the operation of the further operating element 17-20 during an adjustment of the shortcut operator control element 14, 15.
  • control unit 6 superimposes the manipulation of the operating parameter assigned to the shortcut control actuator 14, 15 on an indirect manipulation triggered by the operation of the further control element 17-20 during an adjustment of the shortcut operator control element 14, 15 .
  • An adjustment of the shortcut operator 14, 15 then leads to a certain extent to a manipulation of an offset value for the assigned shortcut operating parameter.
  • a first shortcut operating parameter associated with a first shortcut operator 14 is preferably a water temperature and a second shortcut operating parameter associated with a second shortcut operator 15 preferably indicates a water outflow rate Water outlet valve or through all water outlet valves is. Practice has shown that water temperature and water outflow rate are by far the most important shortcut operating parameters for operators.
  • the control unit 6 is preferably equipped with a microprocessor running an operating system such as Windows- CE® or Linux® .
  • an operating system such as Windows- CE® or Linux® .
  • control unit 6 provides a static automatic function, in which the control unit 6 controls a manipulation of operating parameters statically according to a predetermined rule.
  • a control element 20 allows the selection of an operating name, whereby the control unit 6 individualizes at least a part of the operating parameters to this operator name. The concordance between the operator name and the operating parameters would then be stored in the control unit 6. This setting of the operating parameters would not be changed by the control unit 6 until further notice. It is accordingly a static automatic function.
  • control unit 6 can provide dynamic automatic functions, in which the control unit 6 controls a manipulation sequence of operating parameters according to a predetermined rule, again based on the input or preset operating parameters.
  • control unit 6 controls a manipulation sequence of operating parameters according to a predetermined rule, again based on the input or preset operating parameters.
  • the shortcut control stations 14, 15 are turntables that allow a particularly intuitive operation. It is also conceivable that the shortcut operator 14, 15 are designed as a sliding plate. It is conceivable, finally, that the shortcut operator 14, 15 are designed as a keypad. Such a keypad may, for example, comprise two keys, namely a "+" key and a "-" key. However, a keystone can also include a touch-sensitive surface, for example a touch screen, with which tactile and stroking movements of a finger can be detected as operation.
  • the remaining controls 16-20 are preferably selection controls that allow selection of values for various operating parameters. Structurally, a whole series of advantageous variants are conceivable for the design of such a selection element 16-20.
  • the selection control element 16-20 is a control rocker, which is pivotable about two axes 21, 22 for selecting the respective operating parameter.
  • the axes 21, 22 are in the detailed representation of Fig. 1 shown by way of example. This results for each control element 14-20 four control panels, which are designed as touch panels. The panels are also in the detail of Fig. 1 exemplified by the reference numerals 25-28.
  • FIG. 3 shows that the display 23 displays the assignment of the panels 25-28, here the touch panels, to the respective associated operating parameters. This is particularly advantageous insofar as the assignment of the control panels 25-28 to the operating parameters can be changed by software.
  • the control technology coupling 24 between the control unit 6 and the control elements 14-20 and between the control unit 6 and the at least one actuator 1-4 is preferably a bus-based coupling.
  • the bus-based coupling is a CAN-based coupling.
  • the control unit 6, the actuators 1-4 and the control elements 14-20 are respectively equipped with a bus interface 6a, 1a-4a, 14a-20a. With such a bus-based coupling can be achieved with little effort, a high flexibility in the installation. Basically, an Internet-based coupling, in particular a UDP coupling, conceivable.
  • FIG. 2 and 3 shows a control structure with which the merits of the proposed solution can be particularly well. While the controls 14, 15 are configured as a turntable, it is in the controls 16-20 to selection controls that are configured in each case as a two-axis control rocker in the above sense. Each control element 16-20 allows the selection between four control panels 25-28.
  • the control element 16 allows the selection of the respective Wasserauslassstelle.
  • the control element 17 allows the selection and the start of the automatic functions S1-S4.
  • These automatic functions are here and preferably the above-mentioned, dynamic automatic functions, so that after the actuation of the operating element 17, a predetermined sequence of the manipulation of operating parameters is performed.
  • the same function applies to the control element 19, which is slightly removed from the respective Wasserauslassstellen is. This makes it possible to trigger a dynamic automatic function from a certain distance.
  • the control element 18 is used to select static automatic functions, which are also referred to here as "ambience functions".
  • ambience functions A1-A4 for example, a predefined control of the atomizer unit 4, or other peripheral actuators such as lighting, a fan o. The like.
  • the ambience functions can also be designed as dynamic automatic functions.
  • the operating element 20 permits individualization of the water fitting 5.
  • the operator selects his name with the operating element 20, which preferably results in that the outlet operation takes place on the basis of individualized operating parameters.
  • a water fitting 5 is claimed as such.
  • Such a water fitting 5 is equipped with electric actuators 1-4, in particular with water outlet valves and with a proposed control arrangement for the actuation of the actuators 1-4. Reference may be made to all statements on the proposed control arrangement.
