Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sanitary fitting with a housing having at least a first inlet for cold water and a second inlet for hot water and a mixing device for selectively mixing hot and cold water.
  • the mixing device is connected at an input side by first and second conduit means with a first and second inlet and at an outlet side by a third conduit means for mixed water with an intermediate outlet.
  • first and second conduit means with a first and second inlet and at an outlet side by a third conduit means for mixed water with an intermediate outlet.
  • Such sanitary fittings are used for example on washbasins or in kitchens.
  • Particularly well-known embodiments form the so-called single lever mixer.
  • Sanitary fittings are already known, which have generators or energy storage for generating electrical energy.
  • a sanitary fitting from the DE 41 24 154 A1 known.
  • water is passed from a cold water and a hot water line through a mixer to which a turbine is then provided.
  • the turbine generates electrical energy when it flows through water via a connected generator.
  • the generator in turn is connected to an energy storage for temporary storage of the generated electrical energy.
  • a disadvantage of the known solutions is the fact that provide the required space for generator, turbine and energy storage in the sanitary fitting is. This is accompanied at the same time with considerable restrictions with regard to the design options of the design of the sanitary fitting.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to solve the problems resulting from the prior art at least partially and in particular to provide a sanitary fitting that has no or only very limited restrictions on the design freedom with simultaneous generation of electrical energy.
  • the third conduit means between the mixing device and the mixed water outlet and the use of the intermediate outlet and intermediate inlet it is possible to arrange the power generating device outside the housing of the sanitary fitting.
  • the cold water and the hot water are first combined in the mixing device in order to achieve the highest possible volume flow.
  • the generated mixed water stream at the intermediate outlet is led out of the housing of the sanitary fitting in order to flow through the energy generating device and thereby generate energy in the form of electrical energy.
  • the mixed water stream is passed back to the intermediate inlet and can continue to flow from there in the direction of the mixed water outlet.
  • the power generating device is a turbine with a connected generator for generating an electric current.
  • generators are already available and can generate sufficient electrical energy during the operating phase of the sanitary fitting in order to supply the electrical consumers with electrical energy over days and weeks.
  • the intermediate outlet and the intermediate inlet are arranged on a housing outside of the sanitary fitting. This makes it particularly easy to connect the third conduit means with the sanitary fitting, which is a significant relief, especially during assembly.
  • At least the intermediate outlet or the intermediate inlet is preferably arranged on an underside of the sanitary fitting.
  • a rotary drive for the generator for example, a reverse-acting piston pump can be used.
  • piston-driven generators for example, very high driving forces can be realized with simultaneously relatively low volume flows.
  • the energy generating device For buffering the generated electrical energy, it is furthermore particularly advantageous if the energy generating device with a memory connected to electrical energy.
  • a memory may for example be a capacitor or a known accumulator.
  • At least the turbine can be arranged outside the housing as needed. This means that at least the space for the turbines no longer needs to be kept within the housing.
  • At least the energy storage, the generator or control electronics can be arranged outside of the housing.
  • the power generating device can be arranged wholly or partly outside or inside the housing.
  • At least the intermediate outlet or the intermediate inlet performs a bypass function and thereby directs the mixed water directly from the outlet of the mixing device to the mixed water outlet at not connected third line means.
  • the valve can be operated in this case with and without power generating device.
  • the bypass function acts and directs the mixed water directly from the mixing device to the mixed water outlet. This corresponds to the function of a known mixing valve. If, however, third conduit means are connected at the intermediate outlet and intermediate inlet, and a power generation device is arranged in a series connection with these, the mixed water is passed through this conduit path and the direct bypass path between mixing device and mixed water outlet is interrupted.
  • the so-designed sanitary fitting can be operated either with and without power generation device.
  • a subsequent retrofitting of the power generating device can be done easily.
  • FIG. 1 a sanitary fitting 1 according to the invention is shown in a schematic representation.
  • the sanitary fitting consists of a housing 2 and an external power generating device 3.
  • a mixing device 4 which is connected via a first conduit means 5 with a cold water connection 6 and a second conduit means 7 with a hot water connection 8.
  • the first conduit means 5 enters the housing 2 at a first inlet 24 and the second conduit means 7 at a second inlet 25.
  • the conduit means which direct the flow of water through the power generating device 3 are shown with a broken dashed line.
  • the mixing device 4 has an input side 9 and an output side 10.
  • a third conduit 11 leads to the power generation device 3, which lies outside the housing 2.
  • the third conduit means is led out of the housing 2.
  • an intermediate inlet 13 at which the third conduit means 11 is guided back into the housing 2 and then on to a mixed water outlet 14.
  • the mixed water stream continues to flow through a solenoid valve 16 and then leaves the power generating device 3 and the housing body 17, to be then returned to the housing 2 via the intermediate inlet 13 again.
  • the solenoid valve 16 may be arranged either before or behind the power generating device 3. Both within the housing 2 and within the power generating device 3 are still electronic components such as an infrared sensor 18, the solenoid valve 16, a memory electronics 19 and a battery 20 are provided. The electrical connections are shown schematically by the solid lines. If an object enters the detection range of the infrared sensor 18, this causes the passage of the mixed water flow through the solenoid valve 16 by this is opened. Instead of the described infrared sensor 18 but also any other suitable type of sensors can be used.
  • a bypass line 21 is provided, which is indicated in the present case by a dot-dash line.
  • This bypass line 21 leads directly from the intermediate outlet 12 to the mixed water outlet 14.
  • the intermediate outlet 12 is provided with a switching function, which provides a passage of the mixed water flow from the mixer 4 to the turbine 15, if at the intermediate outlet 12, a third conduit 11 is connected. If this connection does not exist, the mixed water stream is passed directly to the mixed water outlet 14 via the bypass line.
  • a Umstellfunktion can be realized for example by appropriate coupling plug.
  • the entire power generation device 3 can optionally be disconnected or disconnected via the intermediate port 12 formed as an interface and the intermediate port 13.
  • the sanitary fitting 1 according to the invention is thus either in conventional manual mixing operation without energy generation or to operate with coupled energy generating device with power generation.
  • FIG. 2 another concrete embodiment of a sanitary fitting 1 according to the invention is shown in a front view.
  • the housing 2 is mounted with a bottom 23 on a plane 22 and has a mixed water outlet 14, emerges at the mixed water.
  • an infrared sensor 18 is provided on the housing 2.
  • On the underside of the housing there are an intermediate outlet 12 and an intermediate inlet 13, which are connected by third conduit means 11 in series connection of the power generating device 3 with the housing body 17.
  • the first and second inlets 24, 25 of the first and second conduit means 5, 7 in the housing 2 are shown clearly visible in the image plane in front of the image plane.
  • the mixed water intermittently exits from the housing 2 via the intermediate outlet 12, flows through the third conduit means 11 downwards and, after flowing through and driving the turbine 15 in the energy generating device 3, is returned again to the intermediate inlet 13, from there to the mixed water outlet 14 to flow.
