Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Sanitäreinrichtung mit integrierter Drossel nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a sanitary device with an integrated throttle according to the preamble of claim 1.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Die DE 31 28 525 zeigt ein Wasserklosettbecken mit einem Einsatz. Der Einsatz weist einen Kanal mit einer Eintrittsöffnung und mehrere Austrittsöffnungen auf. Der Querschnitt der Austrittsöffnungen kann durch ein in den Einsatz einschiebbaren Innenteil dem Spülwasserdruck angepasst werden.The DE 31 28 525 shows a water closet with an insert. The insert has a channel with an inlet opening and a plurality of outlet openings. The cross section of the outlet openings can be adapted to the flushing water pressure by means of an inner part that can be inserted into the insert.

Nachteilig an der technischen Lehre der DE 31 28 525 ist, dass eine Einstellung vor dem anschliessen des Wasserklosettbeckens zu erfolgen hat. Nach erfolgter Einstellung wird das Wasserklosettbecken mit der Spülleitung verbunden. Anschliessend kann eine erste Spülung ausgelöst werden und erst dann kann der Installateur erkennen, ob die Einstellung gut war oder noch optimiert werden muss. Wenn eine weitere Einstellung nötig wäre, so muss die Spülleitung nochmals demontiert werden und der Einsatz kann erst dann verändert werden. Ob dann die erneute Einstellung gut war, sieht der Installateur wiederum erst dann, wenn er die Spülleitung angeschlossen hat und eine erste Spülung auslöst.A disadvantage of the technical teaching of DE 31 28 525 is that a setting must be made before connecting the water closet basin. After the setting has been made, the water closet basin is connected to the flushing line. A first flush can then be triggered and only then can the installer recognize whether the setting was good or still needs to be optimized. If a further adjustment would be necessary, the flushing line must be dismantled again and the insert can only be changed after this. The installer can only see whether the readjustment was good after he has connected the flushing line and triggers a first flush.

Ähnliche Nachteile ergehen aus der US 2010/0207043 , welche ein Geräuschreduzierungselement im Zusammenhang mit einer Toilette offenbart.Similar disadvantages arise from the US 2010/0207043 which discloses a noise reduction element in connection with a toilet.

Das Leitungsstück ist mit einer Spülwasserquelle verbindbar, welche das dem Auffangbecken zuführende Spülwasser bereitstellt. Das Drosselelement ist derart zum Sanitärartikel angeordnet, dass das Drosselelement im fludisch mit der Spülwasserquelle in Verbindung stehendem Zustand einstellbar ist. Mit anderen Worten: Das Drosselelement ist derart angeordnet, dass es bei montiertem Sanitärartikel und montiertem Leitungsstück einstellbar ist.This object is achieved by the sanitary article arrangement according to claim 1. Accordingly, the sanitary article arrangement comprises a sanitary article with a collecting basin, an inlet opening into the collecting basin and an outlet leading away from the collecting basin, and a line piece that is fluidly connected to the inlet and has a wall surrounding a channel and a throttle element with which the cross section of the channel for controlling the rinse water flow in the sanitary ware can be changed. The line piece can be connected to a source of rinsing water, which provides the rinsing water supplying the catch basin. The throttle element is arranged in relation to the sanitary article in such a way that the throttle element can be adjusted in the state in which it is connected to the flushing water source. In other words: the throttle element is arranged in such a way that it can be adjusted when the sanitary article and the line piece are installed.

Erfindungsgemäß umfasst das Drosselelement einen Rückhalteabschnitt, welcher während des Einsetzens des Drosselelementes in das Leitungsstück in seiner Geometrie von einem Ursprungszustand in einen Montagezustand veränderbar ist und nach dem vollständigen Einsetzen des Drosselelementes in das Leitungsstück in den Ursprungszustand übergeht, in welchem das Drosselelement nicht mehr vom Leitungsstück demontierbar ist. Unter nicht mehr demontierbar wird in diesem Zusammenhang verstanden, dass das Drosselelement nicht zerstörungsfrei bzw. nicht von Hand demontierbar ist.According to the invention, the throttle element comprises a retaining section, the geometry of which can be changed from an original state to an assembly state during the insertion of the throttle element into the line piece and after the complete insertion of the throttle element into the line piece changes to the original state, in which the throttle element is no longer from the line piece is removable. In this context, “no longer removable” means that the throttle element is not non-destructive or cannot be removed by hand.

Die Anordnung des Drosselelementes, dass es im fluidisch mit der Spülwasserquelle in Verbindung stehendem Zustand einstellbar ist, hat den Vorteil, dass der Installateur das Drosselelement sehr einfach an die lokalen Gegebenheiten, nämlich an den Spülwasserdruck und/oder die Form des Auffangbeckens einstellen kann. Insbesondere kann der Installateur eine Testspülung auslösen und dann den Effekt derselben im Auffangbecken überprüfen. Findet beispielsweise ein Überschwappen des Spülwassers im Auffangbecken statt, so kann der Kanalquerschnitt verkleinert werden. Erreicht das Spülwasser nicht die gewünschten Oberflächen im Auffangbecken, so kann der Kanalquerschnitt vergrössert werden. Der Installateur kann ohne eine Demontage der Sanitärartikelanordnung das Drosselelement einstellen, was die Konfiguration der Sanitärartikelanordnung stark vereinfacht.The arrangement of the throttle element such that it can be adjusted in the state in fluid communication with the flushing water source has the advantage that the installer can very easily adjust the throttle element to the local conditions, namely to the flushing water pressure and / or the shape of the catch basin. In particular, the installer can trigger a test flush and then check the effect of the same in the catch basin. For example, if the rinsing water spills over into the catch basin, the channel cross-section can be reduced. If the rinsing water does not reach the desired surface in the catch basin, the channel cross-section can be increased. The installer can adjust the throttle element without dismantling the sanitary article arrangement, which greatly simplifies the configuration of the sanitary article arrangement.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In der Figur 1 wird eine Sanitärartikelanordnung 1 gemäss einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung gezeigt. Die Sanitärartikelanordnung 1 umfasst einen Sanitärartikel 2 und ein Leitungsstück 6, hier ein sogenannter Zulaufbogen, über welches Spülwasser dem Sanitärartikel 2 zuführbar ist.In the Figure 1 a sanitary article arrangement 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The sanitary article arrangement 1 comprises a sanitary article 2 and a line piece 6, here a so-called inlet bend, via which rinsing water can be supplied to the sanitary article 2.

Der Sanitärartikel 2, der hier in der Gestalt einer Toilettenschüssel gezeigt ist, umfasst ein Auffangbecken 3, einen in das Auffangbecken 3 einmündenden Einlass 4 und einen vom Auffangbecken 3 wegführenden Auslass 5. Mit dem Einlass 4 steht ein Leitungsstück 6 fluidisch in Verbindung. Das Leitungsstück 6 ist hier im hinteren Bereich des Sanitärartikels 2 angeordnet.The sanitary article 2, which is shown here in the form of a toilet bowl, comprises a collecting basin 3, an inlet 4 opening into the collecting basin 3 and an outlet 5 leading away from the collecting basin 3. A line piece 6 is in fluid communication with the inlet 4. The line piece 6 is arranged here in the rear area of the sanitary article 2.

Das Leitungsstück 6 umfasst einen Kanal 7, welcher durch eine Wandung 8 umgeben wird. Weiterhin ist ein Drosselelement 9 angeordnet, mit welchem der Querschnitt des Kanals 7 zur Spülwassersteuerung verändert werden kann. Das Leitungsstück 6 kann mit einer Spülwasserquelle, welche hier nicht dargestellt ist, verbunden werden. Die Spülwasserquelle kann ein Spülkasten sein.The line piece 6 comprises a channel 7, which is surrounded by a wall 8. Furthermore, a throttle element 9 is arranged, with which the cross section of the channel 7 can be changed for controlling the rinsing water. The line piece 6 can be connected to a rinsing water source, which is not shown here. The flushing water source can be a cistern.

Das Drosselelement 9 ist derart zum Sanitärartikel 2 angeordnet, dass das Drosselelement 9 in fluidisch mit der Spülwasserquelle in Verbindung stehendem Zustand einstellbar ist. Unter einstellbar wird verstanden, dass das Drosselelement 9 durch den Installateur eingestellt wird und dann im Wesentlichen in seiner eingestellten Lage über die gesamte Gebrauchsdauer verharrt. Durch die entsprechende Anordnung des Drosselelementes 9 ist eine Demontage des Sanitärartikels 2 oder des Leitungsstücks 6 bei der Einstellung des Drosselelementes 9 nicht nötig bzw. überflüssig. Folglich kann der Installateur nach erfolgtem Anschliessen des Sanitärartikels 2 an die Spülwasserquelle, das Drosselelement 9 einstellen.The throttle element 9 is arranged in relation to the sanitary article 2 in such a way that the throttle element 9 can be set in a state in fluid communication with the flushing water source. The term adjustable is understood to mean that the throttle element 9 is set by the installer and then essentially remains in its set position over the entire period of use. Due to the corresponding arrangement of the throttle element 9, dismantling of the sanitary article 2 or the line piece 6 when setting the throttle element 9 is not necessary or superfluous. As a result, the installer can follow After connecting the sanitary article 2 to the flushing water source, set the throttle element 9.

Weiter umfasst die Sanitärartikelanordnung 1 gemäss der in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsform ein Montagegestell 22, über welches die Sanitärartikelanordnung 1 an einem hier nicht gezeigten Montagerahmen oder einer Wand befestigbar ist. Anstelle des Montagegestells 22 können auch andere Befestigungsmittel vorgesehen sein.Furthermore, the sanitary article arrangement 1 according to the embodiment shown in the figures comprises a mounting frame 22, via which the sanitary article arrangement 1 can be fastened to a mounting frame (not shown here) or a wall. Instead of the mounting frame 22, other fastening means can also be provided.

Von den Figuren 1 und 2 kann gut erkannt werden, dass das Drosselelement 9 freiliegend hinter einem hinteren Rand 21 des Sanitärartikels 2 angeordnet ist. Das Drosselelement 9 liegt also frei und wird nicht durch den Sanitärartikel 2 überdeckt. Im eingebauten Zustand befindet sich das Drosselelement 9 in der gezeigten Konfiguration beispielsweise im Bereich des Montagegestells 22, das eine abnehmbare Abdeckung aufweist, vor einer Vorwand und der Installateur hat bei der Installation Zugang durch die Abdeckung hindurch. In einer alternativen, in den Figuren nicht gezeigten Ausführungsform kann der Sanitärartikel beispielsweise eine Zugangsöffnung aufweisen, wobei hinter der Zugangsöffnung das Drosselelement 9 angeordnet ist.Of the Figures 1 and 2 can be clearly seen that the throttle element 9 is exposed behind a rear edge 21 of the sanitary article 2. The throttle element 9 is therefore exposed and is not covered by the sanitary article 2. In the installed state, the throttle element 9 is in the configuration shown, for example in the region of the mounting frame 22, which has a removable cover, in front of a pretext and the installer has access through the cover during installation. In an alternative embodiment, not shown in the figures, the sanitary article can have, for example, an access opening, the throttle element 9 being arranged behind the access opening.

In der Figur 2 wird eine weitere perspektivische Ansicht der Sanitärartikelanordnung 1 gezeigt. Das Drosselelement 9 wird hier vor der Montage im Leitungsstück 6 gezeigt.In the Figure 2 a further perspective view of the sanitary article arrangement 1 is shown. The throttle element 9 is shown here before assembly in the line piece 6.

Von den Figuren 1 und 2 kann weiter erkannt werden, dass es sich bei der hier gezeigten Toilettenschüssel 2 um eine sogenannt spülrandlose Toilettenschüssel handelt. Das heisst, dass im oberen Bereich 23 des Auffangbeckens 3 kein in das Auffangbecken 3 hineinragender Rand vorgesehen ist. Gerade bei derartigen Toilettenschüsseln ist die Einstellung des Spülwasserzyklus wichtig, denn es soll ein Heraufspritzen von Spülwasser über den oberen Bereich 23 verhindert werden.Of the Figures 1 and 2 can also be seen that the toilet bowl 2 shown here is a so-called rimless toilet bowl. This means that in the upper region 23 of the collecting basin 3 there is no edge projecting into the collecting basin 3. In the case of toilet bowls of this type, the setting of the flushing water cycle is important, because flushing water is to be prevented from splashing up over the upper region 23.

Für die Zuführung des Spülwassers in das Auffangbecken 3 mündet der Einlass 4 tangential zur Oberfläche des Auffangbeckens 3 und es wird eine Spülwirkung, vorzugsweise in der Form eines Spülwirbels, innerhalb des Auffangbeckens 3 erzeugt. Bei einer Spülung schiesst also das Wasser über den Mündungsbereich 24, welcher das Ende des Einlasses 4 darstellt, in das Auffangbecken 3, worauf die besagte Spülwirkung erzeugt wird. Das Spülwasser wird dann über den Auslass 5, welcher im Grund des Auffangbeckens 3 liegt, aus dem Auffangbecken 3 entfernt. Der Auslass 5 kann zudem einen Siphon umfassen.For the supply of the rinsing water into the collecting basin 3, the inlet 4 opens tangentially to the surface of the collecting basin 3 and a rinsing effect, preferably in the form of a rinsing swirl, is generated within the collecting basin 3. In the case of a flushing, the water therefore shoots via the mouth region 24, which represents the end of the inlet 4, into the collecting basin 3, whereupon the said flushing effect produces becomes. The rinsing water is then removed from the collecting basin 3 via the outlet 5, which lies in the bottom of the collecting basin 3. The outlet 5 can also comprise a siphon.

In der Figur 3 wird eine teilweise geschnittene Ansicht der Sanitärartikelanordnung 1 gezeigt. Hier kann gut erkannt werden, dass das Leitungsstück 6 in den Einlass 4 einragt. An der Verbindungsstelle 25 zwischen dem Leitungsstück 6 und dem Einlass 4 ist vorzugsweise ein Dichtmittel oder ein Dicht-/Klebemittel angeordnet, so dass die Verbindung zwischen Einlass 4 und Leitungsstück 6 bezüglich des Spülwassers dicht ausgebildet ist.In the Figure 3 a partially sectioned view of the sanitary article arrangement 1 is shown. Here it can be clearly seen that the line piece 6 protrudes into the inlet 4. A sealant or a sealant / adhesive is preferably arranged at the connection point 25 between the line piece 6 and the inlet 4, so that the connection between the inlet 4 and line piece 6 is made leakproof with respect to the rinsing water.

Der Kanal 7 des Leitungsstücks 6 erstreckt sich von einem Kanaleingang 26 bis zu einem Kanalausgang 27. Der Kanalausgang 27 bildet dabei Teil der Verbindungsstelle 25 und an den Kanaleingang 26 lässt sich die Spülwasserquelle fluidisch anschliessen. Zwischen dem Kanaleingang 26 und dem Kanalausgang 27 ist das Drosselelement 9 angeordnet, mit welchem der Spülwasserfluss im Kanal 7 gesteuert werden kann.The channel 7 of the line section 6 extends from a channel inlet 26 to a channel outlet 27. The channel outlet 27 forms part of the connection point 25 and the flushing water source can be connected fluidically to the channel inlet 26. The throttle element 9, with which the flushing water flow in the channel 7 can be controlled, is arranged between the channel inlet 26 and the channel outlet 27.

Von der Figur 3 kann ebenfalls gut erkannt werden, dass der Auslass 5 des Sanitärartikels 2 in einen Siphon 28 mündet. Dem Siphon 28 schliesst sich dann ein Anschlussstutzen 35 an, welcher an ein Abwassernetz angeschlossen werden kann.Of the Figure 3 can also be clearly seen that the outlet 5 of the sanitary article 2 opens into a siphon 28. The siphon 28 is then connected to a connecting piece 35, which can be connected to a sewage network.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das Leitungsstück 6 separat vom Sanitärartikel 2 ausgebildet und steht mit diesem über die Verbindungsstelle 25 in Verbindung. Alternativ kann das Leitungsstück 6 aber auch einen integralen Bestandteil des Sanitärartikels 2 sein.In the embodiment shown, the line piece 6 is formed separately from the sanitary article 2 and is connected to it via the connection point 25. Alternatively, the line piece 6 can also be an integral part of the sanitary article 2.

Anhand der Figuren 4 und 5 wird nun die bevorzugte Ausführungsform des Leitungsstücks 6 mit dem Drosselelement 9 beschrieben.Based on Figures 4 and 5 the preferred embodiment of the line section 6 with the throttle element 9 will now be described.

Das Drosselelement 9 umfasst einen Drosselabschnitt 10 und einen Antriebsabschnitt 11. Der Drosselabschnitt 10 ragt in den Kanal 7 hinein und der Antriebsabschnitt 11 ragt aus dem Leitungsstück 6 hinaus, so dass der Antriebsabschnitt 11 von ausserhalb des Kanals 7 zugänglich ist. Der Drosselabschnitt 10 ist in der gezeigten Ausführungsform im Kanal 4 um eine Schwenkachse S verschwenkbar ausgebildet. Somit kann der Drosselabschnitt 10 den Querschnitt des Kanals 7 in seinem Wirkungsbereich bei einer Verschwenkung um die Schwenkachse S entsprechend verändern.The throttle element 9 comprises a throttle section 10 and a drive section 11. The throttle section 10 projects into the channel 7 and the drive section 11 projects out of the line piece 6, so that the drive section 11 is accessible from outside the channel 7. In the embodiment shown, the throttle section 10 is designed to be pivotable in the channel 4 about a pivot axis S. Thus, the throttle section 10 change the cross section of the channel 7 in its area of action when pivoting about the pivot axis S.

Der Antriebsabschnitt 11 umfasst eine Aufnahme 12 für ein Werkzeug. Hier ist die Aufnahme 12 als Schlitz ausgebildet, so dass die Aufnahme einen Schraubendreher aufnehmen kann. Bei einer Drehung des Schraubendrehers kann das Drosselelement 9 um die Schwenkachse S verschwenkt werden. Andere Ausbildungen des Antriebsabschnittes 11 sind auch denkbar. In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann der Antriebsabschnitt 11 beispielsweise ein Antriebselement umfassen, welches von Hand ergreifbar ist. Beispielsweise seien hier Flügel einer Flügelmutter genannt.The drive section 11 comprises a receptacle 12 for a tool. Here, the receptacle 12 is designed as a slot, so that the receptacle can receive a screwdriver. When the screwdriver rotates, the throttle element 9 can be pivoted about the pivot axis S. Other designs of the drive section 11 are also conceivable. In an alternative embodiment, the drive section 11 can comprise, for example, a drive element which can be gripped by hand. For example, wings of a wing nut are mentioned here.

Der Drosselabschnitt 10 umfasst, wie in den Figuren gezeigt, mindestens einen flächigen Bereich 13. Hier sind zwei flächige Bereiche 13 angeordnet, welche jeweils in der gleichen Ebene von der Schwenkachse S wegstehen. Die beiden flächigen Bereiche 13 sind dabei um die Schwenkachse S verschwenkbar, wodurch die besagte Querschnittsveränderung des Kanals 7 erreicht wird.The throttle section 10 comprises, as shown in the figures, at least one flat area 13. Two flat areas 13 are arranged here, each of which protrude from the pivot axis S in the same plane. The two flat regions 13 can be pivoted about the pivot axis S, as a result of which the change in cross-section of the channel 7 is achieved.

Zwischen dem Antriebsabschnitt 11 und dem Drosselabschnitt 10 umfasst das Drosselelement 9 weiterhin einen Lagerungsabschnitt 14. Die Wandung 8 des Leitungsstücks 6 umfasst eine Lagerungsöffnung 15, in welcher das Drosselelement 9 mit dem Lagerungsabschnitt 14 gelagert ist. Bei einer Einstellung des Drosselelementes 9 wird dabei der Lagerungsabschnitt 14 innerhalb der Lagerungsöffnung 15 um die Schwenkachse S verschwenkt.Between the drive section 11 and the throttle section 10, the throttle element 9 further comprises a bearing section 14. The wall 8 of the line piece 6 comprises a bearing opening 15, in which the throttle element 9 is mounted with the bearing section 14. When the throttle element 9 is set, the bearing section 14 is pivoted about the pivot axis S within the bearing opening 15.

Der Lagerungsabschnitt 14 und die Lagerungsöffnung 15 weisen im Wesentlichen eine zylindrische sich um die Schwenkachse S herum erstreckende Form auf. Der Durchmesser der Lagerungsöffnung 15 ist dabei leicht grösser als die maximale Ausdehnung des Drosselabschnittes 10 quer zur Schwenkachse S gesehen, so dass das Drosselelement 9 über die Lagerungsöffnung 15 in den Kanal 7 einsetzbar ist.The bearing section 14 and the bearing opening 15 have a substantially cylindrical shape that extends around the pivot axis S. The diameter of the bearing opening 15 is slightly larger than the maximum extent of the throttle section 10 seen transversely to the pivot axis S, so that the throttle element 9 can be inserted into the channel 7 via the bearing opening 15.

Teile des Antriebsabschnittes 11 erstrecken sich rechtwinklig zur Schwenkachse S gesehen über die Lagerungsöffnung 15 hinaus und bilden somit einen überhängenden Absatz.Parts of the drive section 11 extend at right angles to the pivot axis S beyond the bearing opening 15 and thus form an overhanging shoulder.

Der Antriebsabschnitt 11 kann zudem eine Kennzeichnung 32 umfassen, welche hier durch zwei Teile symbolisiert ist. Die Kennzeichnung 32 zeigt dabei dem Installateur die Lage des Drosselabschnittes 10 im Kanal an.The drive section 11 can also include a label 32, which is symbolized here by two parts. The identification 32 shows the installer the position of the throttle section 10 in the duct.

Die Lagerungsöffnung 15 umfasst in der gezeigten Ausführungsform einen Absatz 29, welcher einen Anschlag für den Lagerungsabschnitt 14 bereitstellt.In the embodiment shown, the storage opening 15 comprises a shoulder 29, which provides a stop for the storage section 14.

Vorzugsweise ist zwischen dem Lagerungsabschnitt 14 und der Lagerungsöffnung 15 ein Dichtelement 16 angeordnet. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das Dichtelement 16 ein O-Ring. Es können aber auch andere Dichtelemente angeordnet sein. Der O-Ring liegt dabei in einem Zwischenraum 30 zwischen dem Lagerungsabschnitt 14 und der Seitenwand 31 der Lagerungsöffnung 15.A sealing element 16 is preferably arranged between the bearing section 14 and the bearing opening 15. In the embodiment shown, the sealing element 16 is an O-ring. However, other sealing elements can also be arranged. The O-ring lies in an intermediate space 30 between the bearing section 14 and the side wall 31 of the bearing opening 15.

Besonders bevorzugt sind zwischen dem Drosselelement 9 und dem Leitungsstück 6 Rastelemente 17 vorgesehen. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind ausserhalb der Lagerungsöffnung 15 Rastnuten angeordnet und um den Bereich des Lagerungsabschnittes 14 des Drosselelementes 9 sind Raststege angeordnet. Die Teilung der Rastelemente 17 um die Schwenkachse S herum ist vorzugsweise regelmässig, so dass der Installateur die Drehstellung des Drosselelementes in definierten Inkrementen einstellen kann.Particularly preferably, locking elements 17 are provided between the throttle element 9 and the line piece 6. In the embodiment shown, 15 latching grooves are arranged outside the bearing opening and latching webs are arranged around the region of the bearing section 14 of the throttle element 9. The division of the locking elements 17 around the pivot axis S is preferably regular, so that the installer can set the rotational position of the throttle element in defined increments.

Wie in der Figur 4 gezeigt umfasst das Drosselelement 9 gegenüber des Antriebsabschnittes 11, also im Anschluss zum Drosselabschnitt 10, einen weiteren Lagerungsabschnitt 18. Der weitere Lagerungsabschnitt 18 ist hier als Lagerzapfen ausgebildet. Das Leitungsstück 6 umfasst dabei eine Aufnahme 19, welche durch die Wandung 8 bereitgestellt wird. Der Lagerungsabschnitt 18 ragt in die Aufnahme 19 ein. Die Paarung weiterer Lagerungsabschnitt 18 und Aufnahme 19 bildet eine Gegenlagerung, so dass das Drosselelement 9 bei einer Durchströmung nicht verschoben wird.Like in the Figure 4 shown, the throttle element 9 comprises a further bearing section 18 opposite the drive section 11, that is to say in connection with the throttle section 10. The further bearing section 18 is designed here as a bearing journal. The line piece 6 comprises a receptacle 19, which is provided by the wall 8. The storage section 18 protrudes into the receptacle 19. The pairing of further bearing sections 18 and receptacle 19 forms a counter bearing, so that the throttle element 9 is not displaced when there is a flow.

Die Aufnahme 19 liegt bezüglich des Kanals 7 gesehen gegenüber der Lagerungsöffnung 15 und die Schwenkachse S erstreckt sich dabei mittig durch die Aufnahme 19 hindurch. Der Lagerungsabschnitt 18 ist zylinderförmig ausgebildet und erstreckt sich um die Schwenkachse S herum.The receptacle 19 is located relative to the bearing opening 15 with respect to the channel 7, and the pivot axis S extends centrally through the receptacle 19. The bearing section 18 is cylindrical and extends around the pivot axis S.

Der Lagerungsabschnitt 18 schliesst sich direkt dem Drosselabschnitt 10 an.The bearing section 18 directly adjoins the throttle section 10.

Das Drosselelement 9 umfasst weiter einen Rückhalteabschnitt 20. Der Rückhalteabschnitt 20 wird beim Einsetzen des Drosselelementes 9 durch die Lagerungsöffnung 15 in seiner Geometrie von einem Ursprungszustand in einen Montagezustand verformt. Bei vollständigem Einsetzen des Drosselelementes 9 in das Leitungsstück 6, so wie in der Figur 4 gezeigt, geht der Rückhalteabschnitt 20 dann wieder in seinem Ursprungszustand über. Im Ursprungszustand ist der Rückhalteabschnitt 20 in seiner Ausdehnung grösser als der Querschnitt der Lagerungsöffnung 15, so dass eine Demontage verunmöglicht wird. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform umfasst der Rückhaltabschnitt 20 zwei von dem Drosselabschnitt 10 abstehenden Rückhaltelaschen 33. Die Rückhaltelaschen 33 sind dabei gegen die Schwenkachse S federbar ausgebildet und werden beim Einsetzen im Montagezustand gegen die Schwenkachse S eingefedert und federn dann im eingesetzten Zustand wieder von der Schwenkachse S weg. Die Rückhaltelaschen 33 sind in der gleichen Ebene orientiert wie die flächigen Bereiche 13 und bilden somit ebenfalls einen Teil des Drosselabschnittes 10.The throttle element 9 further comprises a retaining section 20. When inserting the throttle element 9 through the bearing opening 15, the geometry of the retaining section 20 is deformed from an original state into an assembled state. When the throttle element 9 is fully inserted into the line piece 6, as in FIG Figure 4 shown, the retention portion 20 then returns to its original state. In the original state, the retention section 20 is larger in its extent than the cross section of the bearing opening 15, so that disassembly is impossible. In the embodiment shown, the retaining section 20 comprises two retaining tabs 33 protruding from the throttle section 10. The retaining tabs 33 are designed to be resilient against the pivot axis S and are compressed against the pivot axis S when inserted in the assembled state and then spring again from the pivot axis S in the inserted state path. The retaining tabs 33 are oriented in the same plane as the flat areas 13 and thus also form part of the throttle section 10.

Vorzugsweise liegt die Distanz des Kanals 7 zwischen dem Einlass 4, insbesondere von der Verbindungsstelle 25 gesehen bis zum Drosselelement 9 höchstens 40 Zentimeter, insbesondere höchstens 35 Zentimeter. Die Distanz ist dabei die Kanallänge zwischen Einlass 4 und Drosselelement 9.The distance of the channel 7 between the inlet 4, in particular as seen from the connection point 25 to the throttle element 9, is preferably at most 40 centimeters, in particular at most 35 centimeters. The distance is the channel length between inlet 4 and throttle element 9.

Das Leitungsstück 6 hat in der gezeigten Form die Gestalt eines Zuleitungsbogens, wobei das Drosselelement 9 in einem Teilbereich angeordnet ist, welcher entlang einer Geraden verläuft.In the form shown, the line piece 6 has the shape of a feed line, the throttle element 9 being arranged in a partial region which runs along a straight line.

Von der Figur 5 kann weiterhin erkannt werden, dass das Leitungsstück 6 in der gezeigten Ausführungsform einen optionalen Zusatzabschnitt 34 aufweist, welcher teilweise in den Kanal 7 mündet. Hier kann beispielsweise ein Lüfter angeschlossen werden.Of the Figure 5 can also be seen that the line piece 6 in the embodiment shown has an optional additional section 34, which partially opens into the channel 7. For example, a fan can be connected here.

Weiter kann von der Figur 5 der Querschnitt des Kanaleingangs 26 und des Kanalausgangs 27 gut erkannt werden. Der Kanaleingang 26 hat eine zylindrische Form und ist als Anschlussstutzen ausgebildet. Der Kanalausgang 27 weist eine ovale Form auf, welche mit der Form des Einlasses 4 im Bereich der Verbindungsstelle 25 korrespondiert.Further from the Figure 5 the cross section of the channel input 26 and the channel output 27 can be clearly recognized. The channel entrance 26 has a cylindrical shape and is designed as a connecting piece. The channel outlet 27 has an oval shape, which with corresponds to the shape of the inlet 4 in the area of the connection point 25.

Weiter umfasst die Sanitärartikelanordnung 1 als Spülwasserquelle einen Spülkasten. Der Spülkasten wird hier nicht gezeigt. Der Spülkasten kann direkt oder indirekt über ein Zwischenrohr mit dem Leitungsstück 6 fluidisch verbunden werden. Die besagte Einstellung des Drosselelementes 9 erfolgt dabei ohne Demontage des Spülkastens.Furthermore, the sanitary article arrangement 1 comprises a cistern as a rinsing water source. The cistern is not shown here. The cistern can be directly or indirectly fluidically connected to the line piece 6 via an intermediate pipe. The said setting of the throttle element 9 takes place without dismantling the cistern.

Bei einem Verfahren zur Montage und fluidischen der hierin beschriebenen Sanitärartikelanordnung 1 wird in einem ersten Schritt die Sanitärartikelanordnung 1 über das Leitungsstücke 6 fluidisch an die Spülwasserquelle angeschlossen.
