Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einheit aus einem Armaturengrundkörper und einer Vorrichtung für die Dichtheitsprüfung einer Sanitärinstallation, wobei Anschlüsse des Armaturengrundkörpers, die alle in Öffnungen an der Oberseite des Armaturengrundkörpers enden, mit Anschlussleitungen verbindbar sind, wobei die Vorrichtung, die anstelle einer Armatur an der Oberseite des Armaturengrundkörpers dichtend montiert wird, einen Verschlussblock aufweist, in dessen Unterseite eine Strömungsverbindung zwischen allen Öffnungen in der Oberseite des Armaturengrundkörpers ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a unit consisting of a fitting body and a device for the leak test of a sanitary installation, wherein connections of the fitting body, all of which terminate in openings at the top of the fitting body, are connectable to leads, the apparatus being used instead of a fitting at the top of the Faucet body is sealingly mounted, having a closure block, in the underside of a flow connection between all openings in the upper side of the fitting body is formed.

Für die Rohinstallation von Wasserleitungen in Sanitärräumen werden Wandeinbaugehäuse verwendet, die zuerst dazu dienen, einen Armaturengrundkörper aufzunehmen, der mit Anschlussleitungen, Ausgangsleitungen zu Wasserauslässen, oder dergleichen verbunden wird und nach Abschluss der Bau- und Installationsarbeiten eine Sanitärarmatur aufnehmen, sobald die wandseitigen Voraussetzungen erfüllt sind.For the Rohinstallation of water pipes in sanitary rooms Wandeinbaugehäuse be used, which serve first to accommodate a fitting body, which is connected to connecting lines, output lines to water outlets, or the like and record after completion of construction and installation work a sanitary fitting as soon as the wall conditions are met ,

Ein in eine Leitung einbaubarer Grundkörper mit Öffnungen an der Oberseite ist beispielsweise aus der EP 32 389 bekannt. Daran können verschiedene Anschlussstücke oder auch eine bloße Abdeckung befestigt werden.An insertable into a line body with openings at the top is for example from the EP 32 389 known. It can be attached to various connectors or a mere cover.

Im Falle einer Sanitärarmatur schließt eine Abdeckrosette das Wandeinbaugehäuse ab. Üblicherweise kann der Armaturengrundkörper mit vier Anschlussleitungen verbunden werden, sodass an seiner Oberseite vier Öffnungen im Quadrat angeordnet sind.In the case of a sanitary fitting a cover rosette closes the wall mounting housing. Usually, the fitting body can be connected to four connecting lines, so that four openings are arranged in a square on its upper side.

Vor der Anbringung der Sanitärarmatur muss die Installation auf Dichtheit geprüft werden. Hierfür sind sogenannte Abdrückvorrichtungen in Verwendung, die mit dem im Wandeinbaugehäuse angeordneten Armaturengrundkörper verbunden werden, sodass die Leitungen bzw. Abschnitte davon unter Druck gesetzt werden können, und eventuelle Lecks vor Fertigstellung erkannt werden. Ein Beispiel für eine derartige Vorrichtung findet sich in DE 19 856 157 .Before installing the sanitary fitting, the installation must be checked for leaks. For this purpose, so-called Abdrückvorrichtungen in use, which are connected to the arranged in the wall mounting housing fitting body so that the lines or sections thereof can be pressurized, and any leaks are detected before completion. An example of such a device can be found in DE 19 856 157 ,

Das gemeinsame Problem aller bekannten Abdrückvorrichtungen liegt dabei darin, dass immer nur zwei benachbarte Öffnungen verbunden werden können, sodass nicht jede Durchflusskonstellation direkt geprüft werden kann, beispielsweise von einer ersten Öffnung zur dritten von vier. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, dass nach jedem Prüfvorgang die Vorrichtung abmontiert, verdreht und wieder montiert werden muss, da bei montierter Vorrichtung keine "Umschaltmöglichkeit" vorgesehen ist.The common problem of all known Abdrückvorrichtungen lies in the fact that only two adjacent openings can be connected so that not every flow constellation can be checked directly, for example, from a first opening to the third of four. Another disadvantage is that after each test operation, the device must be removed, twisted and reassembled, since with mounted device no "switching option" is provided.

Die Erfindung hat es sich nun zur Aufgabe gestellt, diese Situation zu verbessern und eine Druckprüfung wesentlich zu vereinfachen und zu beschleunigen. Erfindungsgemäß ist daher vorgesehen, dass im Verschlussblock mindestens ein Verschlussstopfen vorgesehen ist, mit dessen Hilfe Strömungswege zwischen den Öffnungen des Armaturengrundkörpers sperrbar sind.The invention has now taken on the task to improve this situation and to simplify a pressure test significantly and to speed. According to the invention it is therefore provided that at least one sealing plug is provided in the closure block, with the aid of which flow paths between the openings of the fitting body can be blocked.

Im Gegensatz zu den bekannten Abdrückvorrichtungen wird auf diese Weise erstmals ein Durchfluss zwischen allen Anschlussleitungen möglich. Die Strömungsverbindung ist dabei bevorzugt durch einen nach unten offenen Ringkanal gebildet, der sich rund um eine mittige Verbindungsschraube erstreckt. Wenn nun die Dichtheit einzelner Strömungswege zwischen den Öffnungen überprüft werden soll, so werden in nicht benötigte Öffnungen Verschlussstopfen eingesetzt, die die Anschlussleitung(en) verschließen.In contrast to the known Abdrückvorrichtungen a flow between all connecting lines is possible in this way for the first time. The flow connection is preferably formed by a downwardly open annular channel which extends around a central connecting screw. If the tightness of individual flow paths between the openings is to be checked, sealing plugs closing the connecting line (s) are inserted into unused openings.

Der Verschlussblock weist in einer bevorzugten Ausführung pro Öffnung im Armaturengrundkörper eine Aufnahme oder Bohrung für den Verschlussstopfen auf. In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung ist dabei vorgesehen, dass der Verschlussstopfen in seiner Aufnahme von außen verstellbar ist. Insbesondere ist der Verschlussstopfen an einer in der Aufnahme bzw. Bohrung verdrehbaren Ventilspindel angeordnet.The closure block has in a preferred embodiment per opening in the fitting body on a receptacle or bore for the sealing plug. In a further preferred embodiment, it is provided that the sealing plug in its receptacle is adjustable from the outside. In particular, the sealing plug is arranged on a valve spindle rotatable in the receptacle or bore.

Somit lässt sich die Öffnung im Armaturengrundkörper nach Art eines Ventils verschließen und wieder öffnen, ohne dass der Verschlussblock entfernt werden muss, da jeder Verschlussstopfen in der geöffneten Stellung in den Ringkanal zurückgezogen ist.Thus, the opening in the valve body in the manner of a valve can be closed and reopened without the closure block must be removed because each plug is retracted in the open position in the annular channel.

Da bevorzugt vier Ventilspindeln im Verschlussblock einzeln verstellbar vorgesehen sind, werden die erzielbaren Montagevorteile und Zeitgewinne bei einer derartigen Ausführung noch augenscheinlicher.Since preferably four valve spindles are provided individually adjustable in the closure block, the achievable assembly advantages and time gains in such an embodiment are even more apparent.

In einer vereinfachten Ausführung können die Verschlussstopfen auch in die Aufnahmen im Ringkanal eingesteckt sein, wobei für Entnahme bzw. Versetzung der Verschlussstopfen der Verschlussblock gelöst und wieder montiert wird. Es ist aber auch in dieser Ausführung die Strömungsverbindung zwischen allen Öffnungen möglich und beliebige Strömungswege sind wählbar.In a simplified embodiment, the sealing plug can also be plugged into the receptacles in the annular channel, wherein for removal or displacement of the sealing plug, the closure block is loosened and reassembled. But it is also possible in this embodiment, the flow connection between all openings and any flow paths are selectable.

In beiden Ausführungen ist es zusätzlich von Vorteil, wenn an der Unterseite des Verschlussblocks eine stiftförmige Positionierhilfe zum Eingriff in eine Ausnehmung des Armaturengrundkörpers vorsteht. Dies schließt Zwischenstellungen aus und erleichtert die Handhabung des Verschlussblocks.In both embodiments, it is additionally advantageous if a pin-shaped positioning aid protrudes for engagement in a recess of the fitting body on the underside of the closure block. This eliminates intermediate positions and facilitates the handling of the closure block.

Ein Wandeinbaugehäuse für sanitäre Installationselemente weist einen Basis- oder Bodenteil 1 und eine mit dem Bodenteil 1 verbundene Seitenwand 2 auf, und ist an der Vorderseite 4 offen. Das Wandeinbaugehäuse kann jede geeignete Form aufweisen, bevorzugt ist zumindest der vordere Abschnitt der Seitenwand 2 hohlzylindrisch ausgebildet. Ein sanitäres Installationselement umfasst einen Armaturengrundkörper 25 sowie eine daran nach Abschluss der Roh- und Fertigungsarbeiten zu montierende, nicht gezeigte Sanitärarmatur, wobei eine Abdeckrosette das Wandeinbaugehäuse überdeckt. Die Abdeckrosette wird der Sanitärarmatur angepasst ausgewählt. Die Sanitärarmatur kann beispielsweise ein Einhebelmischer mit und ohne Umstellung, ein Thermostat, ein Unterputzventil, etc. sein.A wall mounting housing for sanitary installation elements has a base or bottom part 1 and a side wall 2 connected to the bottom part 1, and is open at the front side 4. The wall mounting housing may have any suitable shape, preferably at least the front portion of the side wall 2 is formed as a hollow cylinder. A sanitary installation element comprises a Faucet body 25 and a thereto after completion of the raw and manufacturing work to be mounted, not shown sanitary fitting, a cover rosette covers the wall mounting housing. The cover rosette is selected according to the sanitary fitting. The sanitary fitting, for example, a single lever mixer with and without conversion, a thermostat, a flush valve, etc. be.

Das Wandeinbaugehäuse ist mit Durchtrittsöffnungen 5 versehen, durch die Anschlussleitungen mit dem Armaturengrundkörper 25 verbunden werden. Bevorzugt sind vier Durchtrittsöffnungen 5 über kreuz angeordnet, wobei beispielsweise durch die linke und die gegenüberliegende rechte Durchtrittsöffnung Kalt- und Warmwasserleitung und durch die obere und untere Durchtrittsöffnung Leitungen zu Brause- bzw. Wannenanschlüssen geführt werden können. Im Armaturengrundkörper 25 werden die vier Anschlüsse umgelenkt und treten parallel an der Vorderseite in Öffnungen 26 aus. In der mit dem Armaturengrundkörper 25 zu verbindenden Sanitärarmatur werden dann die entsprechenden Verbindungen zwischen den Leitungen hergestellt.The wall mounting housing is provided with through openings 5, are connected by the connecting lines to the fitting body 25. Preferably, four passage openings 5 are arranged crosswise, for example, through the left and the opposite right passage opening cold and hot water pipe and through the upper and lower passage opening lines to shower or tub connections can be performed. In the fitting body 25, the four terminals are deflected and occur in parallel at the front in openings 26. In the sanitary fitting to be connected to the fitting body 25, the corresponding connections between the pipes are then made.

Während der gesamten Rohmontage bis zur Fertigstellung der gesamten Installations- und Bauarbeiten ist eine Abdeckung bzw. ein Verschluss der Vorderseite 4 des Wandeinbaugehäuses vorteilhaft, um eine Verschmutzung des Armaturengrundkörpers 25 und der Öffnungen 26 zu vermeiden. Es ist daher gängige Praxis, die Vorrichtung zur Dichtheitsprüfung als Zubehör zu jedem Wandeinbaugehäuse mitzuliefern, und nicht nur für die Dichtheitsprüfung vorzusehen, sondern schon als Gehäuseabdeckung in der Bauphase. Die Vorrichtung wird daher so frühzeitig als möglich mit dem Armaturengrundkörper 25 verbunden. Die Vorrichtung weist einen Verschlussblock 30 auf, der in Anpassung an die Form des Wandeinbaugehäuses ausgestaltet ist und in der gezeigten Ausführung einen zylindrischen Einsatzteil bildet. Wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, ist der Verschlussblock 30 im vorderen Bereich ebenfalls hohl und durch einen Deckel 35 verschlossen. Nach Abnahme des Deckels 35 ist eine mittig angeordnete Schraube 29 zugänglich und mittels eines Werkzeugs, insbesondere eines Inbusschlüssels verdrehbar, wobei die Schraube 29 zur Fixierung in der zentralen Bohrung 28 des Armaturengrundkörpers 25 dient. Der Inbusschlüssel kann dem Verschlussblock 30 beigepackt sein und nach Abnahme des Deckels 25 zur Verfügung stehen. Die zinnenartigen Fortsätze 36 an der Vorderseite des Verschlussblockes 30 erleichtern die lotrechte, horizontale und wandparallele Ausrichtung des Wandeinbaugehäuses bei der Montage.Throughout the raw assembly until the completion of the entire installation and construction work, a cover or a closure of the front side 4 of the wall mounting housing is advantageous in order to avoid contamination of the fitting body 25 and the openings 26. It is therefore common practice, the device for leak testing as an accessory to each wall mounting housing mitzuliefern, and provide not only for the leak test, but already as a housing cover in the construction phase. The device is therefore connected as early as possible with the fitting body 25. The device has a closure block 30, which is designed to adapt to the shape of the wall mounting housing and forms a cylindrical insert part in the embodiment shown. How out Fig. 4 can be seen, the closure block 30 is also hollow in the front region and closed by a cover 35. After removal of the lid 35, a centrally arranged screw 29 is accessible and rotatable by means of a tool, in particular an Allen wrench, the screw 29 for fixing in the central bore 28 of the fitting body 25 is used. The Allen key can the closure block 30th be enclosed and after removal of the lid 25 are available. The crenellated projections 36 on the front of the closure block 30 facilitate the vertical, horizontal and wall-parallel alignment of the wall mounting housing during assembly.

Der Armaturengrundkörper 25 weist einen ringförmigen Wandabschnitt 27 auf, der die Öffnungen 26 umgibt, und in den ein entsprechender axialer ringförmiger Endabschnitt 37 des Verschlussblocks 30 eingreift. Um eine beliebige Strömungsverbindung zwischen den Öffnungen 26 an der Oberseite des Armaturengrundkörpers 25 zu ermöglichen, umschließt der Endabschnitt 37 einen Ringkanal 31, in dem pro Öffnung 26 eine Aufnahme oder Bohrung 32 für einen Verschlussstopfen 34 vorgesehen ist. In einer ersten Ausführung (Fig. 2, 3, 5) ist jeder Verschlussstopfen 34 an einer verstellbaren Ventilspindel 33 angeordnet, die in ihrer Aufnahme bzw. Bohrung 32 im Verschlussblock 30 verdrehbar gelagert ist und mittels eines Werkzeugs, insbesondere des bereits erwähnten Inbusschlüssels betätigbar ist. In Fig. 5 ist die links gezeigte Ventilspindel 33 in der offenen Position, in der ihr Verschlussstopfen 34 oberhalb der Öffnung 26 liegt, und eine zweite, rechte Ventilspindel 33 in der geschlossenen Position gezeigt, in der deren Verschlussstopfen 34 in die Öffnung 26 abgesenkt ist und diese verschließt. Hinter der zentralen Schraube 29 ist ein Teil eines dritten, frei liegenden Verschlussstopfens 34 erkennbar, dies bedeutet, dass die diesem dritten Verschlussstopfen 34 zugeordnete Öffnung 26 ebenfalls offen ist und ein Durchfluss vom linken Anschluss über den Ringkanal 31 in den hinter der Zeichenebene liegenden Anschluss möglich ist. Diese Verbindung kann daher auf Dichtheit geprüft werden. Es ist durch einfaches Verdrehen einer oder mehrerer Ventilspindeln 33 möglich, jeden gewünschten Strömungsweg zu öffnen bzw. zu verschließen, ohne dass der Verschlussblock 30 entfernt und wieder montiert werden muss.The fitting body 25 has an annular wall portion 27 which surrounds the openings 26, and in which a corresponding axial annular end portion 37 of the closure block 30 engages. In order to allow any flow connection between the openings 26 at the top of the fitting body 25, the end portion 37 encloses an annular channel 31 in which per opening 26 a receptacle or bore 32 is provided for a sealing plug 34. In a first embodiment ( Fig. 2, 3rd . 5 ), each stopper 34 is arranged on an adjustable valve spindle 33 which is rotatably mounted in its receptacle or bore 32 in the closure block 30 and by means of a tool, in particular the aforementioned Allen key is actuated. In Fig. 5 For example, the valve stem 33 shown on the left is in the open position where its stopper 34 is above the opening 26, and a second right valve stem 33 is shown in the closed position in which its stopper 34 is lowered into and closes the opening 26. Behind the central screw 29 is a part of a third, exposed closure plug 34 can be seen, this means that the third closure plug 34 associated opening 26 is also open and a flow from the left port on the annular channel 31 in the behind the plane lying connection possible is. This connection can therefore be checked for leaks. It is possible by simple rotation of one or more valve spindles 33 to open or close any desired flow path without the closure block 30 has to be removed and reassembled.

Am Verschlussblock 30 ist, wie aus Fig. 3 bzw. 4 ersichtlich, eine stiftförmige Positionshilfe 38 exzentrisch angeordnet, die beim Einsetzen des Verschlussblocks 30 in eine Ausnehmung im Armaturengrundkörper 25 eingreift. Die Positionshilfe 38 stellt die richtige Position des Verschlussblocks 30 sicher und vermeidet Zwischenstellungen, in denen der freie Durchfluss behindert wäre. Der Armaturengrundkörper 25 weist bevorzugt vier zur Positionshilfe 38 passende Ausnehmungen auf.On the closure block 30 is as out Fig. 3 4, a pin-shaped position aid 38 is arranged eccentrically, which engages when inserting the closure block 30 into a recess in the fitting body 25. The position aid 38 ensures the correct position of the closure block 30 and avoids intermediate positions in which the free flow would be hindered. Of the Faucet body 25 preferably has four recesses matching the position aid 38.

In der Schrägansicht nach Fig. 4 ist der Ringkanal 31 innerhalb des ringförmigen Endabschnitts 37 des Verschlussblocks 30 gut erkennbar. Rund um die zentrale Schraube 29 sind vier Verschlussstopfen 34 ersichtlich, wobei in den beiden linken Verschlussstopfen 34 jeweils eine Ausnehmung für ein Werkzeug gezeichnet ist, die in den beiden rechten Verschlussstopfen fehlt. Das Werkzeug kann daher auch von dieser Seite, beispielsweise für eine Grundeinstellung angesetzt werden, um die Ventilspindeln in den Aufnahmen oder Bohrungen 32 zu betätigen. Selbstverständlich können auch die rechten Verschlussstopfen Werkzeugaufnahmen aufweisen bzw. auch die linken Verschlussstopfen ohne diese Ausnehmungen sein.In the oblique view Fig. 4 the annular channel 31 within the annular end portion 37 of the closure block 30 is clearly visible. Around the central screw 29, four sealing plugs 34 can be seen, wherein in each of the two left-hand sealing plugs 34 a recess for a tool is drawn, which is missing in the two right-hand sealing plugs. The tool can therefore also be used from this side, for example, for a basic setting to operate the valve spindles in the receptacles or holes 32. Of course, the right plug can also have tool holders or the left plug without these recesses.

In der Ausführung nach Fig. 6 und 7 ist eine vereinfachte Ausgestaltung des Verschlussblocks 30 gezeigt, wobei der wesentliche Unterschied darin besteht, dass die Verschlussstopfen 34 nicht an verstellbaren Ventilspindeln vorgesehen sind, sondern einzeln händisch in die jeweilige Aufnahme 32 eingesteckt werden. Nicht benötigte Verschlussstopfen 34 können in Ausnehmungen 40 an der Oberseite des Verschlusskörpers 30 aufbewahrt werden. In Fig. 6 ist die linke Öffnung verschlossen und die rechte Öffnung 26 offen. Ein Strömungsweg kann von der offenen Öffnung 26 bezüglich der Zeichenebene nach vorne oder hinten ausgebildet sein.In the execution after 6 and 7 a simplified embodiment of the closure block 30 is shown, wherein the essential difference is that the closure plugs 34 are not provided on adjustable valve spindles, but are individually inserted by hand into the respective receptacle 32. Unnecessary sealing plugs 34 can be stored in recesses 40 on the upper side of the closure body 30. In Fig. 6 the left opening is closed and the right opening 26 is open. A flow path may be formed forward or backward of the open aperture 26 with respect to the plane of the drawing.

Nach Fig. 7 sind beide Öffnungen 26 frei, sodass der Strömungsweg zwischen diesen beiden Öffnungen ausgebildet ist, während in die dahinter liegende Öffnung ein Verschlussstopfen 34 eingesetzt ist.To Fig. 7 Both openings 26 are free, so that the flow path between these two openings is formed, while in the underlying opening, a sealing plug 34 is inserted.

Wie aus Fig. 4 bis 7 ersichtlich, sind nicht näher bezeichnete Dichtungsringe vorgesehen.How out Fig. 4 to 7 seen, unspecified sealing rings are provided.

Wenn alle Arbeiten abgeschlossen sind und die Dichtheitsprüfung erfolgt ist, wird der Verschlussblock 30 entfernt. Stattdessen kann dann die Sanitärarmatur eingesetzt und mit dem Armaturengrundkörper 25 verbunden werden.When all work has been completed and the tightness test is done, the closure block 30 is removed. Instead, then the sanitary fitting can be used and connected to the fitting body 25.
