Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary fitting according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a sanitary fitting can for temperature and / or quantity adjustment of mixed water a mixer tap, for example, a single-lever mixer tap, with the operating lever, the temperature and / or the amount of the blended mixed water is adjustable.
  • the mixer tap is connected on the input side with a connected to the water supply network cold water pipe and a hot water pipe.
  • the mixer tap is connected via a mixed water pipe to the water outlet of the sanitary fitting.
  • a generic sanitary fitting can also provide boiling hot water in addition to the mixed water described above.
  • the boiling hot water can be led from a boiler via a separate hot water line to the water outlet of the sanitary fitting.
  • the sanitary fitting may have a manually operable second actuator, such as a rotatably mounted on the sanitary fitting control knob. In a rotary operation of the control knob in a hot water position, a hot water shut-off valve can release the flow of hot water from the boiler to the water outlet of the sanitary fitting.
  • the boiler can be associated with a device with the help of which when closing the check valve, the hot water column is sucked back into the water outlet pipe into the boiler.
  • a device is exemplary of the DE 37 24 068 C3 or from the DE 38 36 877 C1 known in the case of open hot water pipe via a Venturi nozzle a slight negative pressure in a built-in boiler boiler is generated. After closing the hot water pipe, the hot water column located in the water outlet pipe is drawn back into the boiler due to the slight negative pressure in the bubble. As a result, the dripping is effectively prevented.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a sanitary fitting for tapping of water, in particular hot water, which allows an improved and reliable operation compared to the prior art.
  • the invention is based on the problem that the user during the hot water tapping process, the outlet mouth of the water spout to avoid hot water splashes in a filled with hot water vessel, for example a cup dips.
  • a line breaker is arranged according to the characterizing part of claim 1 in the water outlet pipe.
  • the line breaker shares with the closing of the check valve, the water column in the water outlet pipe in a first, in the water reservoir, that is, the boiler, sucked back partial column and a second part column, which expires in the outflow from the outlet opening into the vessel.
  • the integrated in the water outlet line line breaker thus a back suction of contaminated hot water is reliably prevented from the vessel.
  • the line breaker may have a ventilation opening, which causes a pressure equalization between the ambient pressure and the water column pressure in the water outlet line with closed shut-off valve.
  • the ventilation opening may be associated with an adjustable closing part.
  • the adjustable closing part can be, for example, a ball or an umbrella-shaped component which, when the sanitary fitting is open, blocks the ventilation opening in a watertight manner due to the flow pressure in the water outlet line.
  • the closing part for example due to its component weight, can be adjusted to a release position, in which the ventilation opening is released and thus a pressure compensation is feasible.
  • the discharge line can have a first partial line and a second partial line with an interposed line breaker viewed in an outflow direction.
  • the water outlet line may preferably be composed of flexible hose elements and be arranged together with the line breaker in a dimensionally stable outlet pipe, for example made of stainless steel.
  • the outlet pipe is in turn in plug connection with the fitting housing, which is mounted in the installation position, for example in a kitchen worktop.
  • the ventilation opening may be an annular gap.
  • the annular gap can be defined between a radially inner connection piece of the first part line and a radially outer connection piece of the second part line.
  • the two fittings can also be waterproof coupled together.
  • the radially inner connection piece of the first part line can be a separate component which has a line connection which is in plug connection with the first part line.
  • the radially inner connection piece can be in the outflow direction be extended with a line approach. This can protrude into the second sub-pipe to form the radial gap.
  • the radially outer second connection piece of the second part of the line may also be a separate component, which has a pipe socket which is in plug connection with the second part of line.
  • the above-mentioned line approach of the first connector may be preferably performed to form the radial gap through the pipe socket of the second connector into the second part of line.
  • a ventilation channel can be formed in the radially outer second connecting piece, which connects the radial gap with the ambient pressure.
  • the water outlet line can be led up from the check valve of the sanitary fitting with a first arc section up to an upper peak and be guided in the course with a second arc section in opposite directions to the outlet mouth down.
  • the line breaker can be arranged in particular in the region of the upper vertex. In this way, it is ensured that even with a particularly deep immersion of the outlet mouth and the second arc section in the vessel to be filled, the line breaker is still geodetically positioned above the existing water level in the vessel to reliably avoid a return of contaminated hot water.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sanitary fitting with a fitting body 1 and a water outlet pipe 3 is shown.
  • the cross-shaped fitting housing 1 of the sanitary fitting can be used in the installed position in a mounting opening of a kitchen worktop, not shown, through which the water pipes described later are led to the sanitary fitting.
  • the valve body 1 has in the Fig. 1 , right side, a mounting socket 7, in which a single lever mixer 9 is inserted.
  • the mixer 9 is viewed in the flow direction input side connected to a cold water pipe 11 and a hot water pipe 13, which are guided to a water supply network, not shown.
  • the mixer tap 9 is guided via a mixed water line 15 to a connecting piece 23 which is arranged in an upwardly open mounting stub 19 of the fitting body 1.
  • a tubular Water outlet line 26 connected, which within the outlet pipe 3 to, in the Fig. 2 shown outlet port 27 is guided.
  • a hot water line 29 is provided separately from the mixed water line 15.
  • the hot water line 29 is also connected to the connecting piece 23 and led to a below the kitchen worktop, for example, provided in a base cabinet boiler 33.
  • the temperature and / or quantity adjustment of the mixed water takes place in a conventional manner by appropriate rotational and / or tilting movements of the actuating lever 17.
  • the boiler 33 is subjected to a negative pressure p u .
  • the negative pressure p u By means of the negative pressure p u , the hot water still present in the water outlet line 26 can be sucked back into the boiler 33 against the outflow direction F when closing the check valve 43.
  • the water outlet pipe 3 is according to the Fig. 1 attached to the upwardly facing mounting stub 19 and with a first arc section 35 to an upper vertex S ( Fig. 2 ) and guided in the course with a second arc section 37 in opposite directions to the outlet mouth 27 down.
  • the arranged in the outlet pipe 3 discharge line 26 is viewed in the outflow F considered divided into a first part of line 39 and a second part of line 41, which are interconnected via an intermediate line breaker 40.
  • the line breaker 40 has according to the Fig. 2 a connection nipple 44 which is inserted with a pipe socket 45 to a larger diameter annular collar 47 in the first part of line 39.
  • the annular collar 47 of the connecting nipple 44 is again inserted watertight in a radially outer annular collar 49 of a mounting nipple 51.
  • the mounting nipple 51 also has a pipe socket 53, which is inserted into the second part of line 41. Through the pipe socket 53 of the mounting nipple 51, a line extension 55 of the connecting nipple 44 is guided, which protrudes in the further course to the second part line 41. Between the line extension 55 of the connection nipple 44 and the radially outer second sub-line 41 and the radially outer conduit connection 53 of the mounting nipple 51, a radial gap 57 is defined as the vent opening. The radial gap 57 is connected via a provided in the annular collar 49 of the mounting nipple 51 ventilation channel 59 in conjunction with a radially outer annular space 61, prevails in the ambient pressure.
  • the sanitary fitting with hot water shut-off valve 43 is shown. Accordingly, the hot water flows with a flow pressure p F through the sub-lines 39, 41 of the tubular outlet line 26 to the outlet mouth 27th
  • the flow conditions in the water outlet pipe 26 are illustrated immediately upon closing the hot water shut-off valve 43. Accordingly, acts on the located in the water outlet pipe 26 hot water column 63 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) no longer the flow pressure p F , but rather alone the negative pressure p u of the boiler 33. In addition, takes place at the mouth 65 of the line approach 55 pressure equalization between the ambient pressure in the radial gap 57 and the pressure of the hot water column 63. Thus, the hot water column 63 at the Mouth 65 in a first, sucked back into the boiler 33 part column 67 and a second column part 68, which breaks off at the mouth 65 of the line extension 55 and expires in the outflow direction F from the outlet port 27.
  • a line breaker 40 according to a second embodiment is shown. Consequently, the line breaker also has two pipe stubs 45, 53, which are respectively inserted into the first sub-line 39 and the second sub-line 41.
  • the two pipe sockets 45, 53 are connected to one another via a connecting sleeve 71 on their mutually facing sides.
  • the connecting sleeve 71 has on its upper side a circular ventilation opening 57, which is bounded by an O-ring 73.
  • a vertically adjustable guided locking member 75 is adjustably supported in a cage, not shown in detail, in the Fig. 4 a ball is.
  • the ball 75 Upon application of the flow pressure p F , the ball 75 is pressed upwards against the O-ring 73 and thus the ventilation opening 57 is closed.
  • the ball 75 When closing the hot water shut-off valve 43, however, the ball 75 is moved by its own weight vertically downwards into a release position, in which via the ventilation opening 57, a pressure equalization with the (in the Fig. 4 not shown) water column 63 in the water outlet line 26 is effected.
  • line breaker 40th In the Fig. 5 is used as the closing member 75, no ball, but rather an umbrella-like member having a disc-shaped valve body 76 and an upwardly projecting guide pin 77th
  • a sanitary fitting according to another embodiment is shown.
  • the water outlet pipe 3 is not formed with an arcuate high guide, but has the water outlet pipe 3, with a pitch angle of about 7 ° obliquely upwardly directed outlet section 78, which increases linearly to the outlet opening 27. If a vessel is brought to the outlet mouth 27 in a hot water tapping process to avoid hot water splashes, the upper edge of the vessel first strikes against the underside of the linear outlet section 78, without the outlet mouth 27 dipping into the hot water present in the vessel. In this case, the risk that contaminated hot water is sucked back into the boiler 33 is thus eliminated solely by the special geometry of the water outlet pipe 78.
