  • sanitary fittings are known from the prior art, with which in addition to the mixed water and hot water at a temperature of up to 100 ° C (Celsius) is zapfbar.
  • Such sanitary fittings must have an operating concept with a scalding protection, so that a safe operation of the sanitary fitting is ensured by a user. At the same time, the operation of the sanitary fitting should be simple and intuitive for the user.
  • mechanical solutions are known for this purpose, which may be, for example, levers or actuators of the sanitary fitting.
  • the adjustment of these actuators requires a high force to activate a hot water removal, so that an unintentional activation of the hot water removal is prevented.
  • the high expenditure of force can be generated for example by a barrier or the like of the actuator, which must be overcome before activation of the hot water removal.
  • a disadvantage of these mechanical solutions is that they have a low operating comfort.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to solve the problems described with reference to the prior art, at least partially and in particular a method for controlling a sanitary fitting specify with which the sanitary fitting is safe and comfortable to operate.
  • a sanitary fitting should be specified, which is safe and comfortable to operate.
  • the inventive method is used in particular to control a sanitary fitting, which serves the tapping of water on a sink, a sink, a shower or a bath.
  • the sanitary fitting has in particular on a fitting housing a Activation key for activating a function key and a function key for starting a withdrawal of hot water from the sanitary fitting.
  • the activation key and / or the function key may in particular be electronic keys, such as capacitive keys or piezo keys.
  • the sanitary fitting in particular a mixed water with a desired mixed water temperature of, for example, 0 ° C - 37 ° C available.
  • the mixed water can be mixed for example by means of a mixing valve or a thermostatic cartridge from a cold water with a cold water temperature of for example 0 ° C - 20 ° C and a hot water with a hot water temperature of, for example, 20 ° C - 80 ° C.
  • a hot water with a hot water temperature of 40 ° C - 100 ° C, preferably 60 ° C - 100 ° C or more preferably 80 ° C - 100 ° C zapfbar.
  • step a) pressing the activation button of the sanitary fitting is required with a function key sanitary fitting for starting the removal of hot water activated is. Without pressing the activation key, the function key is inactive, so that the hot water can not be activated by (solely) pressing the function key.
  • the function key is activated by pressing the activation key only if the activation key is pressed during step a) with a first operating force exceeding a first minimum operating force, and if the activation key is pressed during step a) longer than a first minimum duration ,
  • the first operating force with which a user presses the activation key is measured or determined and compared with the first minimum operating force.
  • the sanitary fitting may have a control which is designed, for example, in the manner of a microcontroller.
  • the activation key can also be designed (mechanically) such that it only triggers a switching signal when the first operating force exceeds the first minimum operating force.
  • the function key is not activated when the activation key is pressed with a first operating force that is lower than the first minimum operating force, or with pressed for a first duration that is shorter than the first minimum duration.
  • the first minimum operating force can be in particular 0.5 N (Newton) - 10 N, preferably 2.5 N - 10 N or particularly preferably 5 N - 10 N.
  • the activation of the function key depends on whether the activation key is pressed during step a) longer than a first minimum duration.
  • the first minimum duration may be, for example, 1 second to 5 seconds, preferably 2 seconds to 5 seconds, or more preferably 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
  • the activation of the function key thus takes place in step b) only if the activation key is pressed in step a) with a sufficient first operating force and longer than the first minimum duration. This prevents activating the function key by accidentally pressing the activation key.
  • the function key for removing the hot water from the sanitary fitting according to step c) can be pressed.
  • the removal of the hot water from the sanitary fitting is activated according to step d) when the function key is pressed in step c) with a second operating force exceeding a second minimum operating force and if the function key is pressed in step c) longer than a second minimum duration.
  • the function key can also be designed (mechanically) such that it only triggers a switching signal when the second operating force exceeds the second minimum operating force.
  • the controller can also be used.
  • the removal of the hot water by the function key is not activated when the function key is pressed with the second operating force, which is lower than the second minimum operating force, or is pressed with a second duration, which is shorter than the second minimum duration.
  • the second minimum operating force is in particular 0.5 N-10 N, preferably 2.5 N-10 N or particularly preferably 5 N-10 N.
  • the second minimum duration may be, for example, 1 second to 5 seconds, preferably 2 seconds to 5 seconds or particularly preferably 3 seconds to 5 seconds. This can be prevented that the removal of the hot water from the sanitary fitting is activated by accidentally touching the function key.
  • step b) an activation of the function key takes place when the activation key is pressed shorter than a first maximum duration, and wherein in step b) no activation of the function key occurs when the activation key is pressed longer than the first maximum duration.
  • the first maximum duration may, for example, be (at least) 5 seconds, preferably (at least) 10 seconds or particularly preferably (at least) 15 seconds.
  • a light source of the sanitary fitting flashes with a first light color.
  • the light source is in particular an LED, which can be arranged in particular on the fitting housing of the sanitary fitting.
  • the first light color may be, for example, the color red.
  • a first light source with a first light color is permanently illuminated.
  • the light source is in particular the LED.
  • the first light color can also be the color red.
  • step d) the removal of the hot water takes place until the function key is no longer pressed or until the function key is pressed longer than a second maximum duration.
  • the second maximum duration may, for example, be (at least) 5 seconds, preferably (at least) 10 seconds or particularly preferably (at least) 15 seconds.
  • a pot filling mode of the sanitary fitting is activated, by means of which the removal of the hot water in step d) is limited to a predetermined removal quantity of the hot water.
  • the sanitary fitting in the pot filling mode is set up such that it only emits a predetermined amount of hot water removal. This means in particular that the removal of the hot water is automatically stopped after reaching the predetermined removal amount.
  • the predetermined withdrawal amount can be, for example, 1 l (liters) - 3 l.
  • the pot filling mode is used in particular for automatically filling a cooking pot with the hot water.
  • a light source of the sanitary fitting flashes with a second light color during activation of the pot filling mode.
  • the light source is in particular the LED.
