Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Wasserarmatur, insbesondere für einen Wohnwagen, Caravan, Motorcaravan, oder ein Boot, gemäß dem Oberbegriff vom Patentanspruch 1.The present invention relates to a water fitting, in particular for a caravan, caravan, motor caravan, or a boat, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Wasserarmaturen, insbesondere für Wohnwagen, Caravans, Motorcaravans, oder Boote, sind aus dem allgemeinen Stand der Technik bereits hinlänglich bekannt. Eine solche Wasserarmatur umfasst einen Armaturenkörper sowie ein am Armaturenkörper gehaltenes Wasserauslaufrohr, mittels welchem beispielsweise Wasser zu einem Wasserauslauf der Wasserarmatur geführt wird. Die Wasserarmatur weist ferner eine Montagefläche auf, über welche die Wasserarmatur an einem Bauelement, an welchem die Wasserarmatur zumindest mittelbar zu befestigen ist, abstützbar ist. Das Bauelement ist beispielsweise eine Arbeitsplatte oder aber eine Spüle mit einem Becken, in das das aus der Wasserarmaturen ausströmende Wasser strömen kann.Such water fittings, in particular for caravans, caravans, motor caravans, or boats, are already well known from the general prior art. Such a water fitting comprises a fitting body and a water outlet pipe held on the fitting body, by means of which, for example, water is led to a water outlet of the water fitting. The water fitting also has a mounting surface, via which the water fitting can be supported on a component to which the water fitting is to be attached at least indirectly. The component is, for example, a worktop or a sink with a basin into which the water flowing out of the water fittings can flow.

Die Wasserarmatur weist ferner wenigstens einen zumindest teilweise auf einer Seite der Montagefläche angeordneten Mischbereich auf, in welchem den Armaturenkörper durchströmendes Warmwasser mit den Armaturenkörper durchströmendem Kaltwasser gemischt werden kann. Das Warmwasser ist warmes Wasser, welches beispielsweise mittels einer Heizeinrichtung erwärmt wird. Das Kaltwasser ist kaltes Wasser und weist gegenüber dem Warmwasser eine geringere Temperatur auf. In dem Mischbereich kann sich das Warmwasser mit dem Kaltwasser mischen beziehungsweise umgekehrt, sodass ein Gemisch aus dem Warmwasser und dem Kaltwasser eingestellt werden kann. Üblicherweise ist der Mischbereich in dem Armaturenkörper angeordnet und dabei zumindest teilweise, insbesondere zumindest überwiegend oder vollständig, auf der genannten Seite der Montagefläche angeordnet. Bezogen auf einen Zustand, in welchem die Wasserarmatur am genannten Bauelement angeordnet ist, ist der Mischbereich somit zumindest teilweise, insbesondere zumindest überwiegend oder vollständig, unter dem Bauelement angeordnet.The water fitting also has at least one mixing area, at least partially arranged on one side of the mounting surface, in which hot water flowing through the fitting body can be mixed with cold water flowing through the fitting body. The hot water is warm water, which is heated, for example, by means of a heating device. The cold water is cold water and has a lower temperature than the hot water. In the mixing area, the hot water can mix with the cold water or vice versa, so that a mixture of the hot water and the cold water is set can. The mixing area is usually arranged in the fitting body and at least partially, in particular at least predominantly or completely, is arranged on the side of the mounting surface mentioned. In relation to a state in which the water fitting is arranged on the component mentioned, the mixing area is thus at least partially, in particular at least predominantly or completely, arranged under the component.

Die US 7 552 747 B offenbart einen schwenkbaren Wasserauslass, um zwei separate Wasserströme gleichzeitig an variabel separaten Orten bereitzustellen.The US 7,552,747 B. discloses a pivotable water outlet to provide two separate streams of water simultaneously in variably separate locations.

Des Weiteren ist aus der EP 0 200 895 A2 ein Verfahren zur Betätigung von Wasserarmaturen bekannt.Furthermore, from the EP 0 200 895 A2 a method for operating water fittings known.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Wasserarmatur der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass eine besonders vorteilhafte Funktionalität der Wasserarmatur realisierbar ist.The object of the present invention is to further develop a water fitting of the type mentioned in the introduction such that a particularly advantageous functionality of the water fitting can be implemented.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Wasserarmatur mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen mit zweckmäßigen Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den übrigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a water valve with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements with expedient developments of the invention are specified in the remaining claims.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wasserarmatur, insbesondere für einen Wohnwagen, Caravan, Motorcaravan, oder ein Boot. Die Wasserarmatur umfasst einen von Warmwasser und von Kaltwasser durchströmbaren Armaturenkörper sowie ein am Armaturenkörper gehaltenes Wasserauslaufrohr. Ferner weist die Wasserarmatur eine Montagefläche auf, über welche die Wasserarmatur an einem Bauelement, an welchem die Wasserarmatur zumindest mittelbar zu befestigen ist, abstützbar ist. Die Wasserarmatur weist ferner wenigstens einen zumindest teilweise auf einer Seite der Montagefläche angeordneten Mischbereich zum Mischen des Warmwassers mit dem Kaltwasser und in dem Armaturenkörper.The invention relates to a water fitting, in particular for a caravan, caravan, motor caravan, or a boat. The water fitting comprises a fitting body through which hot water and cold water can flow and a water outlet pipe held on the fitting body. Furthermore, the water fitting has a mounting surface, via which the water fitting can be supported on a component to which the water fitting is to be attached at least indirectly. The water fitting also has at least one mixing area, at least partially arranged on one side of the mounting surface, for mixing the hot water with the cold water and in the fitting body.

Um nun eine besonders vorteilhafte Funktionalität der Wasserarmatur realisieren zu können, ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass auf einer der Seite gegenüberliegenden zweiten Seite der Montagefläche wenigstens ein in Umfangsrichtung des Armaturenkörpers zumindest teilweise umlaufender und durch wenigstens ein erstes Gehäuseteil und ein zweites Gehäuseteil des Armaturenkörpers gebildeter Ringkanal angeordnet ist, über welchen das Wasserauslaufrohr mit Wasser aus dem Mischbereich versorgbar ist, wobei das Wasserauslaufrohr an dem zweiten Gehäuseteil gehalten und zusammen mit dem zweiten Gehäuseteil um eine Drehachse relativ zu dem ersten Gehäuseteil drehbar ist.In order to be able to implement a particularly advantageous functionality of the water fitting, the invention provides that at least one in on a second side of the mounting surface opposite the side The circumferential direction of the fitting body is at least partially circumferential and is formed by at least a first housing part and a second housing part of the fitting body, via which the water outlet pipe can be supplied with water from the mixing area, the water outlet pipe being held on the second housing part and together with the second housing part an axis of rotation is rotatable relative to the first housing part.

Mit anderen Worten liegt der Wasserarmatur die Idee zugrunde, den Mischbereich bezogen auf die Strömungsrichtung des Wassers durch den Armaturenkörper zumindest teilweise, insbesondere zumindest überwiegend oder sogar vollständig, stromauf der Montagefläche anzuordnen, wobei stromab der Montagefläche der Ringkanal und somit die Möglichkeit, das Wasserauslaufrohr zusammen mit dem zweiten Gehäuseteil relativ zum ersten Gehäuseteil zu drehen, angeordnet sind. Dadurch kann ein besonders kompakter Aufbau der Wasserarmatur geschaffen werden. Zudem ist es möglich, das zweite Gehäuseteil und mit diesem das Wasserauslaufrohr relativ zum ersten Gehäuseteil zu drehen. Dadurch kann die erfindungsgemäße Wasserarmatur auch in besonders engen Platzverhältnissen verbaut werden.In other words, the water fitting is based on the idea of arranging the mixing area at least partially, in particular at least predominantly or even completely, upstream of the mounting surface, based on the direction of flow of the water through the fitting surface, with the annular channel downstream of the mounting surface and thus the possibility of combining the water outlet pipe to be rotated with the second housing part relative to the first housing part. This enables a particularly compact construction of the water fitting to be created. It is also possible to rotate the second housing part and with it the water outlet pipe relative to the first housing part. As a result, the water fitting according to the invention can also be installed in particularly confined spaces.

Vorzugsweise läuft der Ringkanal in Umfangsrichtung des Armaturenkörpers vollständig um, wodurch eine Versorgung des Wasserauslaufrohrs in zumindest nahezu jeder Drehstellung gewährleistet werden kann.The ring channel preferably runs completely around in the circumferential direction of the fitting body, as a result of which a supply of the water outlet pipe can be ensured in at least almost every rotational position.

Um eine besonders vorteilhafte Funktionalität der Wasserarmatur zu realisieren, ist es bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass das Wasserauslaufrohr zusammen mit dem zweiten Gehäuseteil um wenigstens 360 Grad°, insbesondere um ein Vielfaches von 360°, um die Drehachse relativ zu dem ersten Gehäuseteil drehbar ist.In order to implement a particularly advantageous functionality of the water fitting, it is provided in a further embodiment that the water outlet pipe together with the second housing part can be rotated relative to the first housing part by at least 360 °, in particular by a multiple of 360 °, about the axis of rotation ,

Vorzugsweise ist es vorgesehen, dass die Drehung des Wasserauslaufrohrs und des zweiten Gehäuseteils relativ zum ersten Gehäuseteil unbegrenzt beziehungsweise grenzenlos ist, sodass das zweite Gehäuseteil und somit das Wasserauslaufrohr um ein Vielfaches um 360° relativ zum ersten Gehäuseteil drehbar sind.It is preferably provided that the rotation of the water outlet pipe and the second housing part relative to the first housing part is unlimited or limitless, so that the second housing part and thus the water outlet pipe can be rotated a multiple of 360 ° relative to the first housing part.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Wasserauslaufrohr um eine schräg oder senkrecht zur Drehachse verlaufende Schwenkachse relativ zu den Gehäuseteilen verschwenkbar. Dadurch kann beispielsweise die Höhe eines Wasserauslaufs der Wasserarmatur eingestellt werden, sodass die Höhe des Wasserauslaufs an unterschiedlich große Gegenstände wie beispielsweise Töpfe angepasst werden kann. Der Wasserauslauf umfasst wenigstens eine Austrittsöffnung, über welche das die Wasserarmatur durchströmende Wasser aus der Wasserarmatur ausströmen kann. Ferner kann durch die Verschwenkbarkeit des Wasserauslaufrohrs um die Schwenkachse ein besonders geringer Bauraumbedarf der Wasserarmatur realisiert werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the water outlet pipe can be pivoted relative to the housing parts about a pivot axis that runs obliquely or perpendicular to the axis of rotation. In this way, for example, the height of a water outlet of the water fitting can be set, so that the height of the water outlet can be adapted to objects of different sizes, such as pots. The water outlet comprises at least one outlet opening, through which the water flowing through the water fitting can flow out of the water fitting. Furthermore, due to the pivotability of the water outlet pipe about the pivot axis, a particularly small installation space requirement of the water fitting can be realized.

Um die Teileanzahl und somit den Bauraumbedarf der Wasserarmatur besonders gering zu halten, ist es bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der Ringkanal in seiner radialen Richtung nach innen durch das erste Gehäuseteil und in radialer Richtung nach außen durch das zweite Gehäuseteil begrenzt ist.In order to keep the number of parts and thus the space requirement of the water fitting particularly low, it is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the ring channel is limited in its radial direction inwards by the first housing part and in the radial direction outwards by the second housing part.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass das zweite Gehäuseteil das erste Gehäuseteil in dessen Umfangsrichtung vollständig umlaufend umgibt, dadurch können die Teileanzahl und somit die Kosten und der Bauraumbedarf der Wasserarmatur besonders gering gehalten werden. Gleichzeitig kann eine Versorgung des Wasserauslaufrohrs mit dem Wasser aus dem Mischbereich in zumindest nahezu jeder Drehstellung des zweiten Gehäuseteils und somit des Wasserauslaufrohrs gewährleistet werden.Another embodiment is characterized in that the second housing part completely surrounds the first housing part in its circumferential direction, as a result of which the number of parts and thus the costs and the space requirement of the water fitting can be kept particularly low. At the same time, a supply of the water outlet pipe with the water from the mixing area can be ensured in at least almost every rotational position of the second housing part and thus of the water outlet pipe.

Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Ringkanal mittels zweier gegenüberliegender und an den Gehäuseteilen jeweils abgestützter Dichtungselemente abgedichtet. Dadurch kann der Ringkanal besonders effektiv und effizient abgedichtet werden, wobei die Teileanzahl und somit das Gewicht, die Kosten und der Bauraumbedarf der Wasserarmatur besonders gering gehalten werden können.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the ring channel is sealed by means of two opposing sealing elements which are each supported on the housing parts. As a result, the ring channel can be sealed particularly effectively and efficiently, the number of parts and thus the weight, the costs and the space requirement of the water fitting can be kept particularly low.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich gezeigt, wenn der Armaturenkörper entlang seiner Längserstreckungsrichtung auf der zweiten Seite eine Höhe von maximal 50 Millimetern, insbesondere maximal 40 Millimetern, aufweist. Hierdurch kann die Höhe des Armaturenkörpers und somit der Wasserarmatur insgesamt besonders gering gehalten werden.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the valve body has a maximum height of 50 millimeters, in particular a maximum of 40 millimeters, along its longitudinal direction on the second side. This can increase the height of the fitting body and thus the water fitting as a whole are kept particularly low.

Schließlich hat es sich als vorteilhaft gezeigt, wenn auf der ersten Seite wenigstens ein Befestigungselement angeordnet, mittels welchen die Wasserarmatur an dem Bauelement befestigbar ist. Dadurch kann eine besonders bauraumgünstige Befestigung an dem Bauelement realisiert werden.Finally, it has proven to be advantageous if at least one fastening element is arranged on the first side, by means of which the water fitting can be fastened to the component. This allows a particularly space-saving attachment to the component.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer schematischen Vorderansicht eine im Ganzen mit 10 bezeichnete Wasserarmatur, insbesondere für einen Wohnwagen, Caravan, Motorcaravan, oder ein Boot. Die Wasserarmatur 10 umfasst einen Armaturenkörper 12 sowie ein am Armaturenkörper 12 gehaltenes Wasserauslaufrohr 14, welches einen Wasserauslauf 16 der Wasserarmatur 10 aufweist. Über den Wasserauslauf 16 kann Wasser, das die Wasserarmatur 10 durchströmt, aus der Wasserarmatur 10 ausströmen. Fig. 1 shows a schematic front view of a water fitting, generally designated 10, in particular for a caravan, caravan, motor caravan, or a boat. The water fitting 10 comprises a fitting body 12 and a water outlet pipe 14 held on the fitting body 12, which has a water outlet 16 of the water fitting 10. Water, which flows through the water fitting 10, can flow out of the water fitting 10 via the water outlet 16.

Aus Fig. 1 bis 4 ist ausschnittsweise ein Bauelement 18 des Wohnwagens, Caravans, Motorcaravans oder Boots erkennbar, wobei die Wasserarmatur 10 an dem Bauelement 18 befestigt ist. Hierzu weist die Wasserarmatur 10 - wie besonders gut aus Fig. 3 und 4 erkennbar ist - eine Montagefläche 20 auf, welche durch ein erstes Gehäuseteil 22 der Wasserarmatur gebildet ist. Beispielsweise ist das erste Gehäuseteil 22 aus einem Kunststoff gebildet. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist es denkbar, dass das erste Gehäuseteil 22 einstückig ausgebildet ist. Über die Montagefläche 20 ist die Wasserarmatur 10 in ihrem am Bauelement 18 befestigten Zustand am Bauelement 18 abgestützt. Das Bauelement 18 ist beispielsweise eine Arbeitsplatte oder eine Spüle mit einem Becken, in welches das über den Wasserauslauf 16 aus der Wasserarmatur 10 ausströmende Wasser einströmen kann.Out 1 to 4 A component 18 of the caravan, caravan, motor caravan or boat can be seen in sections, the water fitting 10 being fastened to the component 18. For this purpose, the water fitting 10 shows how particularly well Fig. 3 and 4 is recognizable - a mounting surface 20, which is formed by a first housing part 22 of the water fitting. For example, the first housing part 22 is formed from a plastic. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that the first housing part 22 is formed in one piece. The water fitting 10 is supported on the component 18 in its state attached to the component 18 via the mounting surface 20. The component 18 is, for example, a worktop or a sink with a basin into which the water flowing out of the water fitting 10 via the water outlet 16 can flow.

Die Wasserarmatur 10 weist ferner einen aus Fig. 3 und 4 erkennbaren Mischbereich 24 auf. Der Mischbereich 24 ist zumindest teilweise und vorliegend zumindest überwiegend auf einer ersten Seite 26 der Montagefläche 20 angeordnet. Die Wasserarmatur 10, insbesondere der Armaturenkörper 12, weist aus Fig. 4 erkennbare und von dem Wasser durchströmbare Kanäle 28 und 30 auf, wobei der erste Kanal 28 beispielsweise von Warmwasser beziehungsweise warmem Wasser und der zweite Kanal 30 von Kaltwasser beziehungsweise kaltem Wasser durchströmbar ist. Das Warmwasser wird mittels einer Heizeinrichtung erwärmt und weist demzufolge eine höhere Temperatur als das Kaltwasser auf. Der Mischbereich 24 dient dem Mischen des Warmwassers mit dem Kaltwasser. Mit anderen Worten ist der Mischbereich 24 mit den Kanälen 28 und 30 fluidisch verbindbar, sodass dem Mischbereich 24 das Warmwasser und das Kaltwasser zuführbar sind.The water fitting 10 also has one Fig. 3 and 4 recognizable mixing area 24. The mixing area 24 is arranged at least partially and in the present case at least predominantly on a first side 26 of the mounting surface 20. The water fitting 10, in particular the fitting body 12, has Fig. 4 recognizable and through which the water can flow 28 and 30, wherein the first channel 28, for example, hot water or warm water and the second channel 30 through which cold water or cold water can flow. The hot water is heated by means of a heating device and consequently has a higher temperature than the cold water. The mixing area 24 is used to mix the hot water with the cold water. In other words, the mixing area 24 can be fluidly connected to the channels 28 and 30, so that the hot water and the cold water can be supplied to the mixing area 24.

Die Wasserarmatur 10 umfasst ein Ventilelement 32, welches vorliegend als Kartusche oder Mischkartusche ausgebildet ist. Mittels des Ventilelements 32 (Kartusche) ist ein Gemisch aus dem Warmwasser und dem Kaltwasser einstellbar. Mit anderen Worten ist die jeweilige fluidische Verbindung des Mischbereichs 24 mit den Kanälen 28 und 30 mittels des Ventilelements 32 einstellbar, sodass mittels des Ventilelements 32 das Verhältnis aus Warmwasser zu Kaltwasser eingestellt werden kann. Hierzu ist das Ventilelement 32 beispielsweise relativ zu dem Armaturenkörper 12 bewegbar, insbesondere drehbar.The water fitting 10 comprises a valve element 32, which in the present case is designed as a cartridge or a mixed cartridge. A mixture of the hot water and the cold water can be set by means of the valve element 32 (cartridge). In other words, the respective fluidic connection of the mixing area 24 to the channels 28 and 30 can be set by means of the valve element 32, so that the ratio of hot water to cold water can be set by means of the valve element 32. For this purpose, the valve element 32 is, for example, movable, in particular rotatable, relative to the valve body 12.

Die Wasserarmatur 10 umfasst dabei ein Bedienelement in Form eines Bedienhebels 34, welcher zumindest teilweise außerhalb des Armaturenkörpers 12 angeordnet und an dem Armaturenkörper 12 bewegbar gehalten ist. Ferner ist der Bedienhebel 34 mit dem Ventilelement 32 gekoppelt, sodass das Ventilelement 32 über den Bedienhebel 34 von einer Person bewegbar ist, indem die Person den Bedienhebel 34 relativ zum Armaturenkörper 12 bewegt. Dadurch kann die Person über den Bedienhebel 34 das Verhältnis aus Warmwasser zu Kaltwasser einstellen. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist es denkbar, dass mittels des Bedienhebels 34 eine den Wasserauslauf 16 durchströmende Menge des Wassers einstellbar ist.The water fitting 10 comprises an operating element in the form of an operating lever 34, which is arranged at least partially outside the fitting body 12 and is movably held on the fitting body 12. Furthermore, the operating lever 34 is coupled to the valve element 32, so that the valve element 32 can be moved by a person via the operating lever 34 by the person moving the operating lever 34 relative to the valve body 12. As a result, the person can set the ratio of hot water to cold water via the control lever 34. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that an amount of water flowing through the water outlet 16 can be set by means of the operating lever 34.

Dem Wasserauslauf 16 ist das Wasser aus dem Mischbereich 24 zuführbar, wobei der Wasserauslauf 16 bezogen auf die Strömungsrichtung des Wassers durch die Wasserarmatur 10 stromab des Mischbereichs 24 angeordnet ist. Dabei weist das Wasserauslaufrohr 14 beispielsweise einen von dem Wasser aus dem Mischbereich 24 durchströmbaren Kanal 39 auf, über welchen das Wasser aus dem Mischbereich 24 dem Wasserauslauf 16 zuführbar ist. Beispielsweise ist der Kanal 39 des Wasserauslaufrohrs 14 fluidisch mit dem Mischbereich 24 verbunden oder verbindbar.The water from the mixing area 24 can be fed to the water outlet 16, the water outlet 16 being arranged downstream of the mixing area 24 in relation to the direction of flow of the water through the water fitting 10. The water outlet pipe 14 has, for example, a channel 39 through which the water from the mixing area 24 can flow, via which the water from the mixing area 24 can be fed to the water outlet 16. For example, the channel 39 of the water outlet pipe 14 is fluidly connected or connectable to the mixing area 24.

Um nun eine besonders vorteilhafte Funktionalität der Wasserarmatur 10 zu realisieren, ist auf einer der ersten Seite 26 gegenüberliegenden, zweiten Seite 36 der Montagefläche 20 ein in Umfangsrichtung des Armaturenkörpers 12 vollständig umlaufender und durch das Gehäuseteil 22 sowie ein zweites Gehäuseteil 38 des Armaturenkörpers 12 begrenzter Ringkanal 40 angeordnet, über welchen das Wasserauslaufrohr 14 beziehungsweise dessen Kanal 39 mit Wasser aus dem Mischbereich 24 versorgbar ist. Aus Fig. 3 ist besonders gut erkennbar, dass der Kanal 39 des Wasserauslaufrohrs 14 fluidisch mit dem Ringkanal 40 verbunden ist, sodass das Wasser aus dem Ringkanal 40 aus- und in den Kanal 39 einströmen kann.In order to implement a particularly advantageous functionality of the water fitting 10, there is an annular channel on a second side 36 of the mounting surface 20 opposite the first side 26, which is completely circumferential in the circumferential direction of the fitting body 12 and is delimited by the housing part 22 and a second housing part 38 of the fitting body 12 40 is arranged, via which the water outlet pipe 14 or its channel 39 can be supplied with water from the mixing area 24. Out Fig. 3 is particularly recognizable that the channel 39 of the water outlet pipe 14 is fluidly connected to the ring channel 40, so that the water can flow out of the ring channel 40 and flow into the channel 39.

Das separat von dem zweiten Gehäuseteil 38 ausgebildete Wasserauslaufrohr 14 ist zumindest mittelbar und vorliegend unter Vermittlung wenigstens eines weiteren Bauteils 42 der Wasserarmatur 10 an dem zweiten Gehäuseteil 38 gehalten beziehungsweise mit dem zweiten Gehäuseteil 38 verbunden, sodass das Wasserauslaufrohr 14 zusammen mit dem zweiten Gehäuseteil 38 um eine in Fig. 1 gezeigte Drehachse 44 relativ zu dem ersten Gehäuseteil 22 um wenigstens 360° drehbar ist. Vorliegend ist diese Drehbarkeit des Wasserauslaufrohrs 14 und des zweiten Gehäuseteils 38 relativ zum ersten Gehäuseteil 22 unbegrenzt beziehungsweise grenzenlos, sodass das Wasserauslaufrohr 14 und das zweite Gehäuseteil 38 um ein Vielfaches von 360° relativ zum ersten Gehäuseteil 22 um die Drehachse 44 gedreht werden können. Da sich der Ringkanal 40 vollständig umlaufend, das heißt um 360° in Umfangsrichtung des Armaturenkörpers 12 erstreckt, ist in jeder Drehstellung des Wasserauslaufrohrs 14 und des zweiten Gehäuseteils 38 der Kanal 39 fluidisch mit dem Ringkanal 40 verbunden, sodass in jeder Drehstellung der Kanal 39 und somit der Wasserauslauf 16 mit Wasser aus dem Mischbereich 24 versorgt werden können.The water outlet pipe 14, which is formed separately from the second housing part 38, is held at least indirectly and in the present case by means of at least one further component 42 of the water fitting 10 on the second housing part 38 or is connected to the second housing part 38, so that the water outlet pipe 14 together with the second housing part 38 one in Fig. 1 shown axis of rotation 44 is rotatable relative to the first housing part 22 by at least 360 °. In the present case, this rotatability of the water outlet pipe 14 and the second housing part 38 relative to the first housing part 22 is unlimited or limitless, so that the water outlet pipe 14 and the second housing part 38 can be rotated by a multiple of 360 ° relative to the first housing part 22 about the axis of rotation 44. Since the ring channel 40 extends all the way round, that is to say by 360 ° in the circumferential direction of the fitting body 12, the channel 39 is fluidly connected to the ring channel 40 in every rotational position of the water outlet pipe 14 and the second housing part 38, so that the channel 39 and thus the water outlet 16 can be supplied with water from the mixing area 24.

Die Drehbarkeit des Wasserauslaufrohrs 14 und des zweiten Gehäuseteils 38 relativ zum ersten Gehäuseteil 22 ist in Fig. 5 und 6 durch Pfeile 47 veranschaulicht. Die Drehachse 44 fällt dabei mit der Längserstreckungsrichtung des Armaturenkörpers 12 zusammen. Darüber hinaus ist eine aus Fig. 1 und 2 erkennbare Schwenkachse 46 vorgesehen, welche senkrecht zur Drehachse 44 verläuft. Dabei ist das Wasserauslaufrohr 14 um die Schwenkachse 46 relativ zu den Gehäuseteilen 22 und 38 verschwenkbar, wobei diese Verschwenkbarkeit in Fig. 2 durch Pfeile 48 veranschaulicht ist. Aus Fig. 3 ist besonders gut erkennbar, dass der Ringkanal 40 in seiner radialen Richtung nach außen hin durch das äußere zweite Gehäuseteil 38 und in radialer Richtung nach innen hin durch das erste Gehäuseteil 22 begrenzt ist. Dabei umgibt der Ringkanal 40 das erste Gehäuseteil 22 in dessen Umfangsrichtung vollständig umlaufend, wobei die Umfangsrichtung um die Drehachse 44 verläuft. Insbesondere ist der Ringkanal 40 beispielsweise rotationssymmetrisch zur Drehachse 44 ausgebildet.The rotatability of the water outlet pipe 14 and the second housing part 38 relative to the first housing part 22 is shown in FIG 5 and 6 illustrated by arrows 47. The axis of rotation 44 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the valve body 12. In addition, one is off 1 and 2 Recognizable pivot axis 46 is provided, which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation 44. The water outlet pipe 14 can be pivoted about the pivot axis 46 relative to the housing parts 22 and 38, this pivotability in FIG Fig. 2 is illustrated by arrows 48. Out Fig. 3 it can be seen particularly well that the annular channel 40 is delimited in its radial direction outwards by the outer second housing part 38 and in the radial direction inwards by the first housing part 22. The ring channel 40 surrounds the first housing part 22 in its circumferential direction in a completely circumferential manner, the circumferential direction running around the axis of rotation 44. In particular, the ring channel 40 is, for example, rotationally symmetrical to the axis of rotation 44.

Ferner sind zwei gegenüberliegende und an den Gehäuseteilen 22 und 38 abgestützte Dichtungselemente in Form von Dichtungsringen 50 und 52 vorgesehen, mittels welchen der Ringkanal 40 abgedichtet ist. Die Dichtungsringe 50 und 52 sind an den Gehäuseteilen 22 und 38 abgestützt, sodass die Gehäuseteile 22 und 38 mittels der Dichtungsringe 50 gegeneinander abgedichtet sind.Furthermore, two opposite sealing elements in the form of sealing rings 50 and 52, which are supported on the housing parts 22 and 38, are provided, by means of which the annular channel 40 is sealed. The sealing rings 50 and 52 are supported on the housing parts 22 and 38, so that the housing parts 22 and 38 are sealed off from one another by means of the sealing rings 50.

Um den Bauraumbedarf, insbesondere die entlang der Drehachse 44 verlaufende Höhe, der Wasserarmatur 10 besonders gering zu halten, weist der Armaturenkörper 12 entlang seiner mit der Drehachse 44 zusammenfallenden Längserstreckungsrichtung auf der zweiten Seite 36 vorzugsweise eine Höhe von maximal 40 Millimetern auf.In order to keep the space requirement, in particular the height running along the axis of rotation 44, of the water fitting 10 particularly low, the fitting body 12 preferably has a maximum height of 40 millimeters on the second side 36 along its direction of longitudinal extension coinciding with the axis of rotation 44.

Darüber hinaus ist auf der ersten Seite 26 wenigstens ein Befestigungselement in Form eines Gewindes 54 angeordnet, welches als Außengewinde ausgebildet ist. Mittels dieses Außengewindes ist die Wasserarmatur 10 insgesamt an dem Bauelement 18 befestigt beziehungsweise befestigbar. Hierzu kommt ein weiteres Befestigungselement in Form einer Mutter 56 zum Einsatz, welche ein mit dem Außengewinde korrespondierendes Innengewinde aufweist. Die Mutter 56 wird über ihr Innengewinde auf das Außengewinde (Gewinde 54) aufgeschraubt, sodass das Bauelement 18 zwischen der Montagefläche 20 und der Mutter 56 geklemmt wird. Dadurch wird die Wasserarmatur 10 am Bauelement 18 befestigt.In addition, on the first side 26 at least one fastening element in the form of a thread 54 is arranged, which is designed as an external thread. By means of this external thread, the water fitting 10 is fastened or can be fastened overall to the component 18. For this purpose, a further fastening element in the form of a nut 56 is used, which has an internal thread corresponding to the external thread. The nut 56 is screwed onto the external thread (thread 54) via its internal thread, so that the component 18 is clamped between the mounting surface 20 and the nut 56. As a result, the water fitting 10 is fastened to the component 18.

Wie in Fig. 5 durch einen Pfeil 58 veranschaulicht ist, kann der Bedienhebel 34 relativ zu den Gehäuseteilen 22 und 38 verschwenkt werden, um dadurch beispielsweise das zuvor beschriebene Verhältnis aus Warmwasser zu Kaltwasser einzustellen. Dabei umfasst die Wasserarmatur 10 beispielsweise einen Deckel 60, welcher mit dem Bedienhebel 34 mitverschwenkbar ist. Beispielsweise sind der Bedienhebel 34 und der Deckel 60 um eine Schwenkachse relativ zu den Gehäuseteilen 22 und 38 verschwenkbar, wobei diese Schwenkachse mit der Drehachse 44 zusammenfällt.As in Fig. 5 is illustrated by an arrow 58, the operating lever 34 can be pivoted relative to the housing parts 22 and 38, thereby setting, for example, the ratio of hot water to cold water described above. The water fitting 10 comprises, for example, a cover 60 which can also be pivoted with the operating lever 34. For example, the operating lever 34 and the cover 60 can be pivoted about a pivot axis relative to the housing parts 22 and 38, this pivot axis coinciding with the axis of rotation 44.
