Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit mit einem Strahlregler, mit einem dem Strahlregler zuströmseitig vorgeschalteten Vorsatzsieb und mit einem zwischen Strahlregler und Vorsatzsieb vorgesehenen Durchflussmengenregler, der einen Drosselkörper aus elastischem Material hat, welcher zwischen sich und einer, an einer Umfangswandung eines Regelkörpers vorgesehenen Regelprofilierung einen sich unter dem Druck des durchströmenden Wassers verändernden Steuerspalt umgrenzt, wobei der Durchflussmengenregler an dem Strahlregler und das Vorsatzsieb an dem Durchflussmengenregler lösbar gehalten ist.The invention relates to a sanitary inserting unit with a jet regulator, with a front screen arranged upstream of the jet regulator and with a flow regulator provided between the jet regulator and the front screen, which has a throttle body of elastic material which forms a self-aligning profile between itself and a control profile provided on a peripheral wall of a control body bounded by the pressure of the water flowing through the control gap, wherein the flow regulator on the jet regulator and the front screen on the flow regulator is releasably held.

Aus der EP 0 733 748 A1 ist bereits eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit vorbekannt, die einen Strahlregler, ein zuströmseitig vorgeschaltetes Vorsatzsieb sowie einen zwischen Strahlregler und Vorsatzsieb angeordneten Durchflussmengenregler aufweist. Während der Strahlregler einen homogenen und nicht-spritzenden Wasserstrahl formen soll, ist das Vorsatzsieb dazu bestimmt, die im durchströmenden Wasser eventuell mitgeführten Schmutzpartikel zurückzuhalten. Der zwischengeschaltete Durchflussmengenregler hat das pro Zeiteinheit durchströmende Wasservolumen unabhängig vom Wasserdruck auf einen festgelegten Maximalwert einzuregeln und zu begrenzen. Der Durchflussmengenregler weist dazu einen ringförmigen Drosselkörper aus elastischem Material auf, der zwischen sich und einer, an einer Umfangswandung vorgesehenen Regelprofilierung einen sich unter dem Druck des durchströmenden Wassers verändernden Steuerspalt umgrenzt. Der Durchflussmengenregler, das Vorsatzsieb und der Strahlregler der vorbekannten Einsetzeinheit weisen an ihren einander zugewandten Enden jeweils zueinander passende Anschlussmittel auf, die ein lösbares Verbinden dieser Einbauteile gewährleisten. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, den Strahlregler der vorbekannten Einsetzeinheit gegebenenfalls auch willkürlich oder versehentlich allein mit dem Durchflussmengenregler oder allein mit dem Vorsatzsieb zu verwenden. Wird der Strahlregler aber allein mit dem Durchflussmengenregler verwendet, besteht u.a. die Gefahr, dass im Wasserstrom eventuell mitgeführte Schmutzpartikel in den Mengenregler gelangen und dort zu Fehlleistungen und insbesondere zu geringeren Literleistungen des Durchflussmengenreglers führen. Durch derart beliebige Zusammenstellungen der Einbauteile besteht die Gefahr, dass die vorbekannte Einsetzeinheit die ihr zugedachte Funktion nicht oder nicht optimal erfüllen kann.From the EP 0 733 748 A1 already a sanitary inserting unit is already known, which has a jet regulator, a front screen arranged upstream on the inflow side and a flow rate regulator arranged between the jet regulator and the front screen. While the jet regulator is to form a homogeneous and non-squirting jet of water, the header screen is intended to retain the particles of dirt that might be carried along in the water flowing through. The intermediate flow regulator has the volume of water flowing through per unit of time Regardless of the water pressure to regulate and limit to a specified maximum value. For this purpose, the flow rate regulator has an annular throttle body made of elastic material, which delimits between itself and a control profile provided on a circumferential wall a control gap which changes under the pressure of the water flowing through. The flow rate regulator, the front screen and the jet regulator of the previously known insertion unit have at their mutually facing ends in each case mating connection means which ensure a releasable connection of these built-in parts. In this way, it is possible, if appropriate, to use the jet regulator of the previously known insertion unit either alone or inadvertently with the flow rate regulator alone or with the attachment sieve. However, if the jet regulator is used alone with the flow rate regulator, there is the risk, inter alia, that dirt particles entrained in the water flow may enter the flow regulator and lead there to erroneous performance and, in particular, lower liter rates of the flow rate regulator. By such arbitrary compilations of the mounting parts there is a risk that the previously known insertion unit can not fulfill its intended function or not optimal.

Aus der WO 2005/118968 A1 kennt man bereits eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art mit einem Strahlregler, mit einem dem Strahlregler zuströmseitig vorgeschalteten Vorsatzsieb und mit einem zwischen Strahlregler und Vorsatzsieb vorgesehenen Durchflussmengenregler. Der in der vorbekannten Einsetzeinheit vorgesehene Durchflussmengenregler hat einen Drosselkörper aus elastischem Material, welcher zwischen sich und einer, an einer Umfangswandung eines Regelkörpers vorgesehenen Regelprofilierung einen sich unter dem Druck des durchströmenden Wassers verändernden Steuerspalt umgrenzt. Auch bei der aus WO 2005/118968 A1 vorbekannten Einsetzeinheit ist der Durchflussmengenregler an dem Strahlregler und das Vorsatzsieb an dem Durchflussmengenregler lösbar gehalten. Jedoch sind die Trennbereiche zwischen dem zuströmseitigen Vorsatzsieb und dem Reglergehäuse des Durchflussmengenreglers einerseits und zwischen dem Reglergehäuse und dem abströmseitigen Strahlregler andererseits unterschiedlich ausgebildet. Da der die Regelprofilierung aufweisende Regelkörper des Durchflussmengenreglers in einem turmförmig vorstehenden und vom Vorsatzsieb verschlossenen Teilbereich des Reglergehäuses eingesetzt ist, besteht auch bei der aus WO 2005/118968 A1 vorbekannten Einsetzeinheit die Gefahr, dass die Einsetzeinheit beispielsweise aufgrund von Montagefehler ohne den Regelkörper und somit ohne einen funktionierenden Durchflussmengenregler verwendet und in Betrieb gesetzt wird.From the WO 2005/118968 A1 Is already known a sanitary inserting unit of the type mentioned above with a jet regulator, with a front screen upstream of the jet regulator upstream screen and with a provided between the jet regulator and front screen flow regulator. The flow rate regulator provided in the known insertion unit has a throttle body of elastic material, which between itself and a, provided on a peripheral wall of a control body rule profiling a changing under the pressure of the water flowing through the control gap circumscribed. Even with the out WO 2005/118968 A1 Prior to the known insertion unit, the flow regulator on the jet regulator and the front screen on the flow regulator is releasably held. However, the separation areas between the inflow-side front screen and the regulator housing of the flow regulator on the one hand and between the regulator housing and the downstream jet regulator on the other hand are designed differently. Since the rule profiling having control body of the flow regulator in a tower-shaped projecting and closed by the attachment screen portion of the regulator housing is used, also in the off WO 2005/118968 A1 Prior art insertion unit the risk that the inserting unit is used for example due to assembly errors without the control body and thus without a functioning flow regulator and put into operation.

Es besteht daher insbesondere die Aufgabe, eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die trotz ihrer Vielteiligkeit stets in einer Zusammenstellung ihrer Einbauteile gehalten wird, welche eine optimale Funktion der erfirtdungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit sicherstellt.There is therefore a particular object to provide a sanitary inserting unit of the type mentioned, which is always maintained in spite of their many parts in a compilation of their built-in parts, which ensures optimum function of the inventive insertion unit.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei der sanitären Einsetzeinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art insbesondere darin, dass der Regelkörper über wenigstens einen Verbindungssteg mit einer Halterung verbunden ist, dass der wenigstens eine Verbindungssteg als Niederhalter für den, zwischen dem wenigstens einen Verbindungssteg und dem Strahlregler angeordneten Drosselkörper vorgesehen ist, und dass die Halterung mit ihrem zuströmseitigen Stirnrandbereich am Vörsatzsieb und mit ihrem abströmseitigen Stirnrandbereich am Innenumfang eines Reglergehäuses lösbar befestigbar ist. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit ist die Regelprofilierung an einer inneren und/oder äußeren Umfangswandung eines Regelkörpers vorgesehen. Dieser Regelkörper ist über wenigstens einen Verbindungssteg mit einer Halterung verbunden, die mit ihrem zuströmseitigen Stirnrandbereich am Vorsatzsieb und mit ihrem abströmseitigen Stirnrandbereich am Innenumfang des Reglergehäuses lösbar befestigt ist. Dabei ist der wenigstens eine, die zumindest eine Halterung mit dem Regelkörper verbindende Verbindungssteg als Niederhalter ausgebildet, welcher den Drosselkörper im Bereich zwischen dem Strahlregler einerseits und dem wenigstens einen Verbindungssteg andererseits hält. Da die Halterung das Vorsatzsieb mit dem Durchflussmengenregler verbindet, stellt die mit dem Regelkörper verbundene Halterung eine Art von Originalitätssicherung dar, derart, dass das Vorsatzsieb und der Strahlregler nur dann zusammengehalten werden, wenn auch der Durchflussmengenregler montiert ist. Wird beispielsweise bei der Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit der Durchflussmengenregler vergessen, dann kann auch das Vorsatzsieb nicht montiert werden und der Fehler ist sofort erkennbar.The achievement of this object is in the sanitary inserting unit of the type mentioned in particular that the control body is connected via at least one connecting web with a holder, that the at least one connecting web as hold-down for, between the at least one connecting web and the jet regulator arranged throttle body is provided, and that the holder with its inflow-side end edge region on Vörsatzsieb and with its downstream end edge region on the inner circumference of a regulator housing is detachably fastened. In the inserting unit according to the invention, the control profiling is provided on an inner and / or outer circumferential wall of a control body. This control body is connected via at least one connecting web with a holder which is releasably secured with its inflow-side end edge region on the attachment screen and with its downstream end edge region on the inner circumference of the regulator housing. Here, the at least one connecting the at least one support with the control body connecting web is designed as a hold-down, which holds the throttle body in the region between the jet regulator on the one hand and the at least one connecting web on the other. Because the bracket connects the header screen to the flow regulator, the bracket connected to the regulator body provides some form of tamper evidence such that the header and jet regulators are only held together when the flow regulator is mounted. If, for example, the flow rate regulator is forgotten during assembly of the insertion unit according to the invention, then the attachment screen can not be mounted and the error can be recognized immediately.

Um die Einbauteile der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit dauerhaft und dennoch leicht lösbar miteinander verbinden zu können und um die Einbaulänge der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit möglichst gering zu halten, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Reglergehäuse des Durchflussmengenreglers mit seinem abströmseitigen Stirnendbereich in einer Einsetzöffnung am Strahlregler einsetzbar ist.In order to be able to permanently and yet easily detachably connect the mounting parts of the insertion unit according to the invention and to minimize the installation length of the insertion unit according to the invention, it is advantageous if the regulator housing of the flow rate regulator with its downstream front end region in an insertion opening can be used on the jet regulator.

Eine genaue Festlegung der zwischen den Einbauteilen der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit vorgesehenen Position wird begünstigt, wenn der Strahlregler einen Ringabsatz hat, der den Einsetzweg des Reglergehäuses in die Einsetzöffnung begrenzt.A precise determination of the intended between the mounting parts of the insertion unit according to the invention position is favored when the jet regulator has an annular shoulder which limits the insertion of the regulator housing in the insertion.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass am Außenumfang des Reglergehäuses ein Ringflansch vorgesehen ist, mit dem das Reglergehäuse in die Einsetzöffnung einsetzbar ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform weist der Durchflussmengenregler im Vergleich zum Strahlregler einen, um den Ringflansch reduzierten Außendurchmesser auf, so dass sich die erfindungsgemäße Einsetzeinheit auch in den eventuell geringen lichten Durchflussquerschnitt am Auslaufende einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur einsetzen lässt.A preferred development according to the invention provides that an annular flange is provided on the outer circumference of the regulator housing, with which the regulator housing can be inserted into the insertion opening. In this embodiment, the flow rate regulator in comparison to the jet regulator, an outer diameter reduced around the annular flange, so that the insertion unit according to the invention can also be used in the possibly small clear flow cross section at the outlet end of a sanitary outlet fitting.

Auf der Zuströmseite des Durchflussmengenreglers wird der Drosselkörper in axialer Richtung durch den wenigstens einen, als Niederhalter dienenden Verbindungssteg gesichert. Um eine solche axiale Sicherung auch auf der Abströmseite zu gewährleisten, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn am Innenumfang des Reglergehäuses ein Ringflansch vorgesehen ist, auf dem der Drosselkörper in Gebrauchsstellung aufliegt. Der derart beidseits in axialer Richtung gesicherte Drosselkörper wird somit genau in der gewünschten Position im Bereich der Regelprofilierung gehalten.On the upstream side of the flow regulator, the throttle body is secured in the axial direction by the at least one, serving as hold-down connecting web. In order to ensure such axial securing on the downstream side, it is advantageous if an annular flange is provided on the inner circumference of the regulator housing, on which rests the throttle body in the use position. The thus secured on both sides in the axial direction throttle body is thus kept exactly in the desired position in the range of the control profile.

Eine besonders leicht herstellbare Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die wenigstens eine Halterung am Vorsatzsieb und/oder am Reglergehäuse lösbar verrastbar ist.A particularly easy to manufacture embodiment according to the invention provides that the at least one holder on the attachment screen and / or on the controller housing is releasably latched.

Möglich ist, dass an den Regelkern mehrere Halterungen angeformt sind, die am Vorsatzsieb und/oder am Reglergehäuse an mehreren, voneinander beabstandeten Befestigungsstellen angreifen. Bevorzugt wird jedoch eine Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung, bei welcher die Halterung als Haltering ausgestaltet ist.It is possible that a plurality of brackets are formed on the control core, on the front screen and / or on the controller housing attack a plurality of spaced apart attachment points. However, an embodiment according to the invention in which the holder is designed as a retaining ring is preferred.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn an der Halterung zumindest ein Rastvorsprung, eine Rastausnehmung oder dergleichen Rastmittel vorgesehen ist, welches Rastmittel mit einem Gegenrastmittel am Vorsatzsieb und/oder am Reglergehäuse zusammenwirkt.It is advantageous if at least one latching projection, a latching recess or the like locking means is provided on the holder, which latching means cooperates with a counter-latching means on the attachment screen and / or on the controller housing.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Strahlregler einen Strahlzerleger hat, der topfförmig ausgestaltet ist und der an der Umfangswandung seiner Topfform eine Mehrzahl vorzugsweise gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandeter und das durchströmende Wasser in eine Mehrzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufteilender Durchflussöffnungen hat.It is particularly advantageous if the jet regulator has a jet disintegrator which is pot-shaped and which has a plurality of preferably uniformly spaced apart and at the peripheral wall of its pot shape flow through the water into a plurality of single-jet flow openings.

Weitere Merkmale gemäß der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Figurenbeschreibung in Verbindung mit den Ansprüchen sowie der Zeichnung. Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispieles noch näher beschrieben.Further features according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of the figures in conjunction with the claims and the drawings.

Die Einsetzeinheit 1 weist einen Strahlregler 2 auf, der einen homogenen, nicht-spritzenden und gegebenenfalls auch perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl formen soll. Dem Strahlregler 2 ist zuströmseitig ein Vorsatzsieb 3 vorgeschaltet, dass die im Wasser eventuell mitgeführten Schmutzpartikel, welche die Funktion der nachfolgenden Funktionseinheiten beeinträchtigen könnten, zurückzuhalten hat. Zwischen dem Strahlregler 2 und dem Vorsatzsieb 3 ist ein Durchflussmengenregler 4 vorgesehen, der das durchströmende Wasservolumen unabhängig vom Wasserdruck auf einen festgelegten Maximalwert begrenzen und einregeln soll.In the single FIGURE, a sanitary inserting unit 1 is shown, which can be mounted at the outlet end of a sanitary outlet fitting by means of an outlet nozzle (not further shown).

The jet regulator 2 upstream of a front screen 3 is preceded that the possibly entrained in the water Dirt particles, which could affect the function of the following functional units, has to retain. Between the jet regulator 2 and the front screen 3, a flow regulator 4 is provided, which is intended to limit and regulate the volume of water flowing through, irrespective of the water pressure, to a defined maximum value.

Der Durchflussmengenregler 4 weist ein hülsenförmiges Reglergehäuse 5 auf, in dessen Gehäuseinnenraum ein ringförmiger Drosselkörper 6 aus elastischem Material vorgesehen ist. Der Drosselkörper 6 umgrenzt zwischen sich und einer, an einer Umfangswandung vorgesehenen Regelprofilierung 7 einen Steuerspalt 8, der sich unter dem Druck des durchströmenden Wassers verwendet. Dabei wird der Drosselkörper 6 bei steigendem Wasserdruck zunehmend in die Ausnehmungen 9 der Regelprofilierung 7 gepresst, derart, dass sich der Steuerspalt 8 verengt und einen in Abhängigkeit vom Wasserdruck kleineren Durchflussquerschnitt freihält.The flow rate regulator 4 has a sleeve-shaped regulator housing 5, in the housing interior of which an annular throttle body 6 made of elastic material is provided. The throttle body 6 defines between itself and a, provided on a peripheral wall rule profiling 7 a control gap 8, which is used under the pressure of the water flowing through. In this case, the throttle body 6 is increasingly pressed with increasing water pressure in the recesses 9 of the control profile 7, such that the control gap 8 narrows and a smaller depending on the water pressure flow cross section.

Der Durchflussmengenregler 4 ist an dem Strahlregler 2 und das Vorsatzsieb 3 ist am Durchflussmengenregler 4 lösbar gehalten.The flow rate regulator 4 is held on the jet regulator 2 and the attachment sieve 3 is detachably held on the flow rate regulator 4.

Die Regelprofilierung 7, die in Durchströmrichtung orientierte und über den Umfang verteilte Ausnehmungen 9 oder Rillen hat, ist an der inneren und/oder äußeren Umfangswandung eines Regelkörpers 11 angeordnet, der hier als ein im Inneren des Reglergehäuses 5 vorgesehener zentraler Regelkern 11 ausgebildet ist. Der Regelkern 11 ist über wenigstens einen, quer zur Durchströmrichtung orientierten Verbindungssteg 12 mit einer Halterung 13 verbunden, die hier als Haltering ausgestaltet ist. Der wenigstens eine Verbindungssteg 12 ist als Niederhalter für den zwischen dem wenigstens einen Verbindungssteg 12 und dem Strahlregler 2 befindlichen Drosselkörper 6 vorgesehen, der den Drosselkörper 6 in diesem Bereich sichert. Die hier als Haltering ausgestaltete Halterung 13 ist mit ihrem zuströmseitigen Stirnrandbereich 14 am Vorsatzsieb 3 und mit ihrem abströmseitigen Stirnrandbereich 15 am Innenumfang des Reglergehäuses 5 lösbar befestigbar.The control profiling 7, which has recesses 9 or grooves oriented in the throughflow direction and distributed over the circumference, is arranged on the inner and / or outer circumferential wall of a control body 11, which is designed here as a central control core 11 provided in the interior of the regulator housing 5. The control core 11 is connected via at least one, oriented transversely to the flow direction of the connecting web 12 with a holder 13, which is designed here as a retaining ring. The at least one connecting web 12 is as hold-down for the located between the at least one connecting web 12 and the jet regulator 2 throttle body 6 is provided which secures the throttle body 6 in this area.
