Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Dusch-WC, also ein an sich bekanntes Wasserklosett mit einer Unterduscheinrichtung zur Reinigung des Benutzers nach der WC-Benutzung.The present invention relates to a shower toilet, so a known per se water closet with a Unterduscheinrichtung for cleaning the user after using the toilet.
Dusch-WCs sind seit längerer Zeit bekannt und erfahren in den letzten Jahren zunehmende Verbreitung. In vielen Fällen weisen sie neben einem beweglichen Duscharm einen Föhnarm zur Warmlufttrocknung des Benutzers nach dem Duschvorgang auf. Beide Arme können in den meisten Fällen in die WC-Schüssel des WCs hinein und aus ihr zurück in eine zurückgezogene Bewegungsposition verfahren werden. Im Regelfall findet ein Elektromotor oder ein durch den Leitungswasserdruck betätigter Hydraulikzylinder Verwendung, letzteres vor allem bei Dusch-WCs ohne beweglichen Föhnarm. Der Stand der Technik befasst sich in großem Umfang mit Art, Position, Reinigung und Aufbau des Duscharms und auch des Föhnarms und natürlich mit weiteren technischen Elementen zur Warmwasserbereitung, Warmlufterzeugung, etc.Shower toilets have been known for some time and have become increasingly popular in recent years. In many cases, in addition to a movable shower arm, they have a hair dryer arm for drying the user's air after showering. Both arms can be moved in most cases in the toilet bowl of the toilet and out of her back to a retracted movement position. As a rule, an electric motor or a hydraulic cylinder actuated by the tap water pressure is used, the latter especially for shower toilets without a movable hair dryer arm. The state of the art is largely concerned with the type, position, cleaning and construction of the shower arm and the Föhnarms and of course with other technical elements for hot water, hot air generation, etc.
Im Folgenden soll der Begriff Funktionsarm als Oberbegriff für Duscharme, Föhnarme und denkbare weitere Arme eines Dusch-WCs verwendet werden, die zu ihrer Benutzung in die WC-Schüssel hinein verfahren und danach zurückgefahren werden können.In the following, the term functional arm is to be used as a generic term for Duscharme, Föhnarme and conceivable further arms of a shower toilet, which can be moved to their use in the toilet bowl and then moved back.
Zum Stand der Technik wird verwiesen auf die
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein hinsichtlich des Bewegungsmechanismus für einen Funktionsarm verbessertes Dusch-WC anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide a respect to the movement mechanism for a functional arm improved shower toilet.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Dusch-WC mit einem Klosettkörper, der eine WC-Schüssel aufweist, einem in die WC-Schüssel hinein bewegbaren Funktionsarm, einem Rotationsmotor zum Antreiben der Bewegung des Funktionsarms zwischen zwei Bewegungspositionen und einem Kopplungselement zur Übertragung einer von dem Rotationsmotor abgeleiteten Antriebskraft auf den Funktionsarm, wobei das Kopplungselement in dem Funktionsarm angekoppelt ist, der Funktionsarm hinsichtlich seiner Bewegung gegenüber dem Kopplungselement beweglich ist und das Kopplungselement bei aus der WC-Schüssel zurückgefahrener Bewegungsposition zumindest teilweise in dem Funktionsarm integriert ist, wobei der Rotationsmotor hinsichtlich einer Achse seiner Abtriebswelle achsversetzt ist zu einer Mittellängsachse des Funktionsarms und einer Mittellängsachse des Kopplungselements und wobei der Funktionsarm in dem Dusch-WC so gekippt montiert ist, dass sein hinsichtlich einer Richtung der Bewegung des Funktionsarms in die WC-Schüssel hinein vorderes Ende etwas tiefer liegt als sein in diesem Sinn hinteres Ende, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Rotationsmotor unter dem hinteren Ende des Funktionsarms in dessen aus der WC-Schüssel zurückgefahrener Bewegungsposition angeordnet ist.The object is achieved by a shower toilet with a toilet body, which has a toilet bowl, a movable into the toilet bowl into a functional arm, a rotary motor for driving the movement of the Funktionsarms between two movement positions and a coupling element for transmitting one of the rotary motor derived driving force on the functional arm, wherein the coupling element is coupled in the functional arm, the functional arm with respect to its movement relative to the coupling element is movable and the coupling element is at least partially integrated in the retracted from the toilet bowl movement position in the functional arm, wherein the rotary motor with respect to an axis its output shaft is offset from the axis to a central longitudinal axis of the functional arm and a central longitudinal axis of the coupling element and wherein the functional arm is mounted in the shower toilet tilted so as to be with respect to a direction of movement of the functional arm in the toilet bowl into the front end is slightly lower than its rear end in this sense, characterized in that the rotary motor is arranged under the rear end of the functional arm in its retracted from the toilet bowl movement position.
Daneben richtet sich die Erfindung auch auf einen Dusch-WC-Aufsatz und dessen Verwendung, mit dem bzw. gemäß der aus einem WC ohne Duschfunktion ein Dusch-WC erstellt werden kann.In addition, the invention is also directed to a shower toilet attachment and its use, with or according to the from a toilet without shower function, a shower toilet can be created.
Die Erfindung geht dabei von einem Rotationsmotor zum Antreiben des Funktionsarms aus, also einem Motor, der an einer Abtriebswelle ein Drehmoment zum Antrieb zur Verfügung stellt, insbesondere einem Elektromotor. Damit sind ausdrücklich Duscharmantriebe in Form von durch den Leitungswasserdruck betätigten Hydraulikzylindern nicht gemeint, die hinsichtlich ihrer baulichen Gestaltung und Anordnung eigenen Gesetzmäßigkeiten und Beschränkungen unterliegen und bei heutigen Dusch-WCs, insbesondere solchen mit Föhnfunktion, immer weniger in Gebrauch sind. Der Rotationsmotor dient dabei zum Antreiben mindestens einer Bewegungsrichtung bei einer Bewegung des Funktionsarms zwischen zwei Bewegungspositionen, nämlich einer maximal in die WC-Schüssel hineingefahrenen und einer maximal daraus zurückgefahrenen Position. Die andere Bewegungsrichtung kann zum Beispiel durch Federbeaufschlagung oder ähnlich betätigt sein. In den meisten Fällen ist der Rotationsmotor allerdings für beide Bewegungsrichtungen zuständig.The invention is based on a rotary motor for driving the functional arm, that is to say a motor which provides torque for driving on an output shaft, in particular an electric motor. This expressly shower arm drives are not meant in the form of actuated by the tap water pressure hydraulic cylinders, which are subject to their laws and limitations in terms of their structural design and arrangement and in today's shower toilets, especially those with a hairdryer, are less and less in use. The rotary motor serves to drive at least one direction of movement during a movement of the functional arm between two movement positions, namely a maximum in the toilet bowl and a maximum retracted therefrom position. The other direction of movement may be actuated, for example, by spring action or the like. In most cases, the rotary motor is responsible for both directions of movement.
Der Funktionsarm führt in seiner WC-Schüssel-seitigen Bewegungsposition eine bestimmte Funktion aus, insbesondere in Verbindung mit dem Transport eines Fluids, beispielsweise von Duschwasser im Fall eines Duscharms oder Warmluft im Fall eines Föhnarms.The functional arm carries out in its toilet bowl-side movement position a specific function, in particular in connection with the transport of a fluid, such as shower water in the case of a shower arm or hot air in the case of a Föhnarms.
Das Kopplungselement definiert sich bei dieser Erfindung erstens dadurch, dass es von dem Rotationsmotor angetrieben ist, zweitens durch seine Ankopplung an dem Funktionsarm und drittens dadurch, dass der Funktionsarm bei seinen Bewegungen relativ zu dem Kopplungselement beweglich ist, sich also die Relativposition zwischen dem Kopplungselement und dem Funktionsarm in den beiden Bewegungsrichtungen verändert. Vorzugsweise bleibt das Kopplungselement dabei gegenüber dem Rest des Dusch-WCs, bezogen auf die beiden Bewegungsrichtungen, unbewegt. Die Funktionsarmbewegung findet also nicht nur relativ zu dem Dusch-WC, sondern auch relativ zu dem Kopplungselement statt.The coupling element is defined in this invention firstly in that it is driven by the rotary motor, secondly by its coupling to the functional arm and thirdly by the fact that the functional arm is movable in its movements relative to the coupling element, so the relative position between the coupling element and the functional arm in the two directions of movement changed. Preferably, the coupling element remains immobile with respect to the rest of the shower toilet, based on the two directions of movement. The Funktionsarmbewegung thus takes place not only relative to the shower toilet, but also relative to the coupling element.
Zur Übertragung der Antriebskraft ist das Kopplungselement an dem Funktionsarm angekoppelt. Dies geschieht erfindungsgemäß "in" dem, das heißt nicht "außen" an der Mantelfläche des in der Regel zylinderförmigen oder zylinderähnlichen Funktionsarms. Vielmehr soll das Kopplungselement innerhalb einer Außenmantelfläche des Funktionsarms angreifen. Ferner sollen die Ankopplung und die Gesamtkonstruktion so ausgelegt sein, dass das Kopplungselement in der zurückgefahrenen Bewegungsposition des Funktionsarms in diesem integriert ist, das heißt zu einem erheblichen Teil (etwa zumindest der Hälfte) der Längserstreckung des Kopplungselements entlang der Bewegungsrichtung innerhalb des Funktionsarms angeordnet und von diesem abgedeckt ist.To transmit the driving force, the coupling element is coupled to the functional arm. This is done according to the invention "in" that, that is not "outside" on the lateral surface of the usually cylindrical or cylinder-like functional arm. Rather, the coupling element should engage within an outer circumferential surface of the functional arm. Furthermore, the coupling and the overall construction should be designed so that the coupling element is integrated in the retracted movement position of the functional arm in this, that is arranged to a considerable part (approximately at least half) of the longitudinal extent of the coupling element along the direction of movement within the Funktionsarms and of this is covered.
Die Abdeckung muss dabei nicht nach allen in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung liegenden Richtungen vollständig gegeben sein, sondern nur zu einem überwiegenden Teil.The cover must not be completely given in all directions lying in a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement, but only to a large extent.
In anderen Worten greift das Kopplungselement bezogen auf die zurückgefahrene Bewegungsposition des Funktionsarms innerhalb desselben zentral an und ist damit in dieser Position weitgehend in dem Funktionsarm integriert.In other words, the coupling element engages with respect to the retracted movement position of the functional arm within the same centrally and is therefore largely integrated in this position in the functional arm.
Damit können besonders kompakte und einfache Lösungen erreicht werden, weil die Krafteinleitung bei einem relativ zentralen Angriffspunkt ohne wesentliche Kippmomente erfolgt - anders als beispielsweise bei außerhalb des Funktionsarms liegenden Kopplungselementen wie parallel dazu verlaufenden Zahnstangen oder Spindeln. Gleichzeitig kann das Kopplungselement bedarfsweise verschmutzungsgeschützt und jedenfalls raumökonomisch untergebracht werden. Im Vergleich dazu nehmen neben einem Funktionsarm angeordnete Kopplungselemente wie die gerade erwähnten Zahnstangen oder Spindeln zusätzlichen Raum ein und bedürfen situationsabhängig eines zusätzlichen Schutzes vor Verschmutzung. Wie bereits ausgeführt, kann der Funktionsarm insbesondere ein Duscharm und/oder ein Föhnarm sein. Dabei können im kombinierten Fall Duscharm und Föhnarm kombiniert und integriert ausgeführt sein, also als ein Arm, aber auch separat vorliegen und jeweils der Erfindung entsprechen.Thus, particularly compact and simple solutions can be achieved because the force is applied at a relatively central point without significant overturning moments - unlike, for example, lying outside the Funktionsarms coupling elements such as parallel racks or spindles. At the same time, the coupling element can, if necessary, be protected against contamination and at least accommodated in a space-economical manner. In comparison, arranged next to a functional arm coupling elements such as just mentioned racks or spindles extra space and require depending on the situation of additional protection against contamination. As already stated, the functional arm may in particular be a shower arm and / or a foehn arm. In the combined case shower arm and Föhnarm can be combined and executed integrated, so as an arm, but also present separately and each correspond to the invention.
Vorzugsweise ist das Kopplungselement um eine Rotationsachse drehbar und von dem Motor rotierend angetrieben, wobei die Rotationsachse des Kopplungselements parallel zu den Bewegungsrichtungen des Funktionsarms liegt. Ferner ist das Kopplungselement vorzugsweise in den Bewegungsrichtungen lang gestreckt und starr, was vor allem bei einer Antriebsfunktion des Motors in zwei Bewegungsrichtungen vorteilhaft ist und den Aufwand für eine Wickeltrommel oder eine ähnliche Lösung für ein flexibles Kopplungselement spart. Eine bevorzugte Lösung ist eine Spindelstange, also eine in der Bewegungsrichtung orientierte langgestreckte Stange mit einem Schraubengewinde.Preferably, the coupling element is rotatable about an axis of rotation and driven in rotation by the motor, wherein the axis of rotation of the coupling element is parallel to the directions of movement of the functional arm. Furthermore, the coupling element is preferably elongated in the directions of movement and rigid, which is advantageous especially in a drive function of the motor in two directions of movement and saves the expense of a winding drum or a similar solution for a flexible coupling element. A preferred solution is a spindle rod, so oriented in the direction of movement elongated rod with a screw thread.
Erfingdungsgemäß ist der Rotationsmotor gegenüber der Längsmittelachse des Funktionsarms und gegebenenfalls auch der Längsachse der Spindelstange achsversetzt angeordnet und nimmt dabei eine versetzte Position ein. Dabei ist der Motor unter dem Funktionsarm in dessen zurückgezogener Position angeordnet ist, wobei der Funktionsarm in der montierten Lage im Dusch-WC schräg steht mit gegenüber dem WC-Schüssel-abgewandten Ende tiefer liegendem WC-Schüssel-seitigen Ende, in anderen Worten mit hinsichtlich der Bewegung in die WC-Schüssel hinein gegenüber dem hinteren Ende tiefer liegendem vorderen Ende. Dies ist von besonderem Vorteil, wenn es auf die Gesamtbauhöhe ankommt, weil die erwähnte gekippte Position des Funktionsarms durch die gewünschte Bewegungsstrecke in die WC-Schüssel vorgegeben ist und damit unter dem WC-Schüssel-abgewandten Ende des Funktionsarms Platz verfügbar und dementsprechend diese Anordnung mit einem geringen oder keinem zusätzlichen Bauvolumen in der Höhe verknüpft ist.According to the invention, the rotary motor is arranged offset in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the functional arm and optionally also the longitudinal axis of the spindle rod, taking up an offset position. The engine is located under the functional arm in its retracted position, the functional arm in the mounted position in the shower toilet is inclined with respect to the toilet bowl-remote end lower lying toilet bowl-side end, in other words with respect the movement into the toilet bowl in front of the rear end deeper lying front end. This is of particular advantage when it comes to the overall height, because the mentioned tilted position of the functional arm is predetermined by the desired distance of movement in the toilet bowl and thus below the toilet bowl-remote end of the functional arm space available and accordingly this arrangement with a small or no additional volume of construction in height is linked.
Bei der beschriebenen Ausgestaltung kann an einem WC-Schüssel-abgewandten Ende des Kopplungselements ein Getriebe angeschlossen sein, beispielsweise an einem Ritzel an einem Spindelstangenende, und sich von dort nach unten erstrecken, um ebenfalls den infolge der gekippten Lage des Funktionsarms verfügbaren Raum zu nutzen. Dann bietet sich im Hinblick auf die gesamte Baulänge vorteilhaft an, den Motor WC-Schüssel-seitig von dem Getriebe anzuordnen, wozu auf das Ausführungsbeispiel verwiesen wird.In the described embodiment, a gear can be connected to a toilet bowl-remote end of the coupling element, for example, on a pinion on a spindle rod end, and extend down from there, to also use the available due to the tilted position of the Funktionsarms space. Then offers in terms of overall length advantageous to arrange the engine toilet bowl side of the transmission, to which reference is made to the embodiment.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist in dem Funktionsarm eine Kammer für das Kopplungselement vorgesehen, insbesondere für eine Spindelstange, und ist das Kopplungselement in der Kammer in der zurückgefahrenen Bewegungsposition zumindest 50% und vorzugsweise 60%, 70% oder sogar 80% seiner Länge untergebracht. Auch hier wird zur Veranschaulichung auf das Ausführungsbeispiel verwiesen. Wenn, wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel, dass Kopplungselement einstückig mit zum Beispiel einem Ritzel zum Antrieb ausgeführt ist, gilt diese Aussage vorzugsweise sogar für seine Länge insgesamt einschließlich dieses zusätzlichen einstückigen Elements, etwa das Ritzels.In a preferred embodiment, a chamber for the coupling element is provided in the functional arm, in particular for a spindle rod, and the coupling element is housed in the chamber in the retracted movement position at least 50% and preferably 60%, 70% or even 80% of its length. Again, reference is made to the illustrative embodiment. If, as in the embodiment, the coupling element is made in one piece with, for example, a pinion for driving, this statement is preferably true even for its total length including this additional one-piece element, such as the pinion.
In Verbindung damit bietet sich erfindungsgemäß eine Anordnung einer Funktionsfluidleitung über der Kammer an, zum Beispiel eine Duschwasser- oder eine Föhnluftleitung.In connection therewith, according to the invention, an arrangement of a functional fluid line over the chamber, for example a shower water duct or a föhn air duct, is suitable.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert, wobei die einzelnen Merkmale auch in anderen Kombinationen erfindungswesentlich sein können.In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment, wherein the individual features may be essential to the invention in other combinations.
