  • the invention further relates to a water installation with such
  • a water installation is, for example, a drinking water supply. If no water is tapped for a long time, the water stagnates. Then germs can form. This is an undesirable flow state. It is therefore known to provide a provided with a barrier connection to a drain in the water installation. Within a predetermined period of time, about a week, this barrier is opened regularly. Then, an amount of water is passed into the drain, which is sufficient to flush the water installation completely.
  • this sanitary purging is carried out in known arrangements, irrespective of whether or not water has been tapped. So water is consumed even if there is no stagnation at all.
  • Leakage protection arrangements which are installed alone or in combination with pressure reducers and / or filters on the house water inlet for drinking water supply. Depending on the consumption habits at the taps, maximum flow rates are set.
  • the component set comprises a return device designed as a closed component.
  • the return safety device comprises a valve which opens in the down direction and closes in the opposite direction.
  • the lower discharge funnel forms a receptacle, in which the return valve is optionally used sealingly.
  • the valve prevents odors from the wastewater from escaping upwards through the upper drain body into the atmosphere.
  • the upper drain body forms a connecting part with webs, between which openings or openings are formed to the atmosphere. As water flows through the drain assembly, it impacts the valve and a portion sprays upwardly and out through the openings in the upper drain body. That is undesirable.
  • signal processing means powered by the flow measuring means for detecting unwanted flow conditions in the water installation and controlling the shutoff such that the shutoff opens for a limited purge period when the flow is below a threshold over a selected stagnation period.
  • a hygiene flush is always performed when over a longer period of time, for example, 48, 72 or 240 hours, no or too little water has flowed through the water installation.
  • the flow conditions are detected by flow-measuring means.
  • flow-measuring means can be arranged in the water fitting itself.
  • the signal processing device has a communication unit which receives a signal representing the flow conditions in the water installation.
  • the signal can be received wirelessly, for example.
  • flow-measuring means can be used in other fittings, such as leakage protection fittings.
  • the valve is particularly simple and inexpensive in this case.
  • a reed contact turbine or other suitable flow-measuring means for generating a the one Flow conditions in the water installation representing signal provided.
  • Such turbines are known and are regularly used for example in leakage protection arrangements of the applicant.
  • the barrier may be formed by a motor-operated ball valve.
  • the motor can then be controlled by the control unit. A manual intervention is usually not required.
  • a drainage arrangement which usually consists of a system-side, upper drainage body and an outlet funnel arranged thereunder.
  • the drain body is a downwardly open hollow body with side openings, which is to be connected to a drain pipe of the water fitting. Water to be drained flows into the drain body, the interior of which is under atmospheric pressure through the side openings.
  • a drain funnel is provided below the drain body which communicates with a drain line.
  • the drain line communicates with sewers.
  • a siphon is usually provided in the sewer, which forms an odor trap. Of course, it must also be prevented that, for example, rising wastewater can escape from the discharge funnel.
  • Drain body webs between which openings are formed to the atmosphere
  • the webs in the drain body are arranged offset in the radial direction to each other and cover the entire angular range.
  • the webs can in a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention in the drain body at intervals along two or three concentric rings be arranged.
  • the angular ranges covered by adjacent lands may preferably overlap.
  • a portion of the webs may be interconnected by radially extending bridges. As a result, leakage of back-splashed water is reliably avoided.
  • Means upstream of the barrier arranged and the flow is passed during the hygiene flushing by the flow-measuring means.
  • the water flowing during the flushing and its volume flow can be determined quantitatively with the flow-measuring means. If a lot of water flows, a short flush is enough. However, if there is only a weak water pressure, less water flows. Then, the rinse period can be extended until it is ensured that all stagnant water is removed.
  • the barrier is formed by a ball valve in a fitting housing, which has a connected to the drain assembly drain and two
  • Inlet ports is provided;
  • the ball valve opens the connection between a first inlet port and the outlet in a first flushing position
  • Flow-measuring means may be arranged in front of each of the two inlet connections, the signals of which are applied to the signal processing device. It can be used two flow-measuring means, one for each of the installations. However, it is only a control device and a signal processing device, and only a drain assembly required. This reduces the manufacturing and installation costs. The hygiene flushing is carried out separately as required for each of the two water installations. Of course, the arrangement can also be used with only one water installation. Then one of the two inlet connections is firmly closed with a cap.
  • a water sensor is provided in the flow arrangement, with the signals of which the signal processing device is acted upon. With the water sensor can be detected whether water from the drain rises. If this is the case, no hygiene flush will be performed. In this way it is avoided that rinse water undesirably escapes from the arrangement to the outside.
  • shut-off opening backflow preventer is arranged in the flow between the flow-measuring means and the barrier.
  • a housing is provided, with which the arrangement can be installed under plaster. Manual intervention is usually not required, so that a sub-plaster installation is possible.

  • the upper housing part 318 has two coaxial inlet ports 322 and 324, which extend horizontally in the present embodiment. Between the inlet ports 322 and 324, a ball valve 326 is arranged. At the top of a connection for the control unit is provided.
  • Drain port 316 extends vertically downwards.
  • the ball valve 326 is shown in Figure 16 again in detail.
  • the ball 328 of the ball valve 326 is provided with a kinking passage 330.
  • Passage 330 in the first purge position shown in FIG. 16, connects inlet port 322 to drain 316. It is readily apparent that rotation of ball 328 about a horizontal axis 180 degrees results in closing inlet port 322.
  • the inlet port 324 is connected to the drain 316.
  • both inlet connections are closed. There is no water flowing from the inlet port to the drain.
  • a backflow preventer 332 and 334 is arranged upstream of both inlet connections. The backflow preventers 332 and 334 open in the direction of the ball valve 326.
  • the controller 310 is used to control the sanitary ball valve 326.
  • the drainage arrangement with the drain body 320 is screwed into the upper fitting housing 314.
  • the drain 316 is connected to a sewer and contains a siphon trap.
  • the drainage arrangement corresponds to the drainage arrangement described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 22 and therefore does not need to be described here any more.
  • a humidity sensor 336 is arranged in the lower region of the drain body 320.
  • the moisture sensor can be seen in FIG.
  • the humidity sensor 336 determines whether water is jamming. Only if the water can flow away unhindered, a hygiene flushing is carried out. This avoids that water can escape from the drain body 320.
  • housing parts 338 and 340 are connected.
  • the housing parts 338 and 340 are identical. Therefore, only the housing part 340 will be described.
  • the housing part 340 has a tubular, elongate housing socket 342.
  • the housing stub 342 is connected to the nut 324 with the inlet port 322.
  • the housing socket 342 is connected by means of a pipe clamp 364 with the housing 312 and is held there.
  • the non-return valve 332 sits in the present embodiment in the housing neck 342. It is understood that it can also be arranged in the inlet port 322.
  • the housing part 340 opens down into a cup 346. This can be clearly seen in FIG.
  • the housing part 338 has an inlet pipe 352 with a ball valve 354. Parallel to the inlet nozzle 352, an outlet 348 is integrally formed on the housing part 338. Also, the outlet port 348 is provided with a ball valve 350.
  • the ball valves 350 and 354 are manually operated and allow the housing part 340 to be shut off for maintenance and the like, such as when the cup 346 is to be removed.
  • a backflow preventer 356 with bypass and turbine 358 for flow measurement is arranged in the cup 346.
  • the water flows from the inlet port 352 through the ball 354, the backflow preventer 356 and the turbine 358. From there, the water flows through a chamber 360 to the outlet port 348.
  • the signals detected by a reed contact 362 of a magnet on the turbine 358 are known in the art Way passed to the controller 310 and evaluated there or in a central server.
  • the flow measuring arrangement functions like the flow measuring arrangements used in the applicant's known leakage protection devices and is described in detail, for example, in DE 20 2008 003 055 U1. A detailed description is therefore not required here. It is understood that any other flow measuring arrangement is suitable for this purpose.
  • the chamber 360 is on the one hand, as described, connected to the outlet port 348.
  • the housing stub 342 is connected to the chamber 360.
  • the arrangement has its own flow measuring function with the turbine 358.
  • the flow is detected both when tapping water, as well as when rinsing. If no or too little water is withdrawn over a long period of time, for example 48, 72 or 240 hours, this is detected.
  • the controller 310 receives a control command to open the normally closed ball valve 326. Water flows from inlet port 352 to drain 316. In this way, water flows through all piping in front of this valve. The piping installation is flushed and the formation of germs by stagnant water is avoided.
  • the fitting part can be installed anywhere where a water supply line and a drain are close together. A particularly suitable place is under plaster in the range of sinks.
  • the inlet port 352 is connected to the water supply.
  • the fitting housing 314 has a connection for the control unit 310.
  • a bolt for actuating the ball of the ball valve 326 is provided at the upper end with a profile.
  • the control unit 310 with the motor acts on this profile.
  • the connection between the control unit 310 and the valve body is made non-rotatable and with a defined ball position. The connection is secured with a breakthrough bracket.
  • the control unit 310 can be set externally via a network connection, for example the Internet.
  • the installer, administrator or the homeowner can independently enter the parameters suitable for the application via their own Internet portal.
  • the parameters include the period after which a hygiene rinse is to be carried out and the required rinse water volume. This data is saved on a server even if a control unit 310 is no longer functional. This makes it particularly easy to change to another, identical device.
  • the manufacturer can statistically evaluate the various operating parameters and other data. This allows the manufacturing process to be optimized. If the parameters are entered directly at the control unit 310, these new data are also transmitted to the server.
  • a hygiene flush is automatically triggered.
  • the control unit 310 opens the ball valve with the engine. Then water flows through the pipes to the drain. In this way, stagnation and the associated possible nucleation are avoided.
  • the type and time and flushing volume of the hygiene flush can be documented and stored.
  • the valves are installed in both hot and cold pipes. This is especially true for a central one Hot water supply makes sense.
  • the embodiment described above shows a configuration in which the hot water installation is connected to one of the two inlet ports and the cold water installation is connected to the other of the two inlet ports. The monitoring and flushing of the installations is then carried out separately. But it is only one control and only one process required.
  • Figure 13 and Figure 14 show a configuration in which only one installation is monitored. Then, one of the two inlet ports is closed with a cap 370. All other functions and configurations are identical as described above.
  • control unit - wireless or wired - can be chosen arbitrarily. Also, it is not mandatory for the implementation of the invention to set up a central server. Rather, this function can also be taken for example by a control unit.
  • the grouping of the taps is arbitrary and depends on the application. So it may make sense to monitor each tap individually, while in other applications, a group of apartments are monitored with multiple taps.
  • the hygiene fittings can be equipped with a pressure sensor.
  • a pressure reducer is connected to the fitting part 20, which is used to limit the pressure to save water.
  • the pressure must be sufficient even at the highest point of the installation for daily needs.
  • the signal from the pressure sensor can also be used to set the pressure at the pressure reducer to an optimum value. In this way, the estimation or calculation made by the installer can be replaced by a measured value.
  • the pressure set on the pressure reducer can be automatically adjusted at any time in the event of fluctuations in the supply network.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une armature hydraulique pour réaliser un rinçage hygiénique dans une installation hydraulique, comportant un raccordement pour raccorder l'armature hydraulique à une alimentation en eau fraîche, un dispositif de coupure (107, 128, 276, 326, 354) pour interrompre l'arrivée d'eau fraîche depuis l'alimentation en eau fraîche et un dispositif d'écoulement par lequel de l'eau peut s'écouler de l'installation hydraulique. L'armature comporte également un dispositif de commande (10, 210, 310) pour commander le dispositif de coupure, interagissant avec un dispositif de traitement de signal recevant les signaux d'éléments (110, 280, 358) de mesure de débit, pour déterminer des conditions d'écoulement parasites dans l'installation hydraulique. Le dispositif de commande commande le dispositif de coupure de telle manière que celui-ci s'ouvre pendant une durée de rinçage limitée lorsque le débit volumétrique est inférieur à un seuil prédéfini pendant une durée de stagnation choisie.
