Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a siphon according to the preamble of claim 1.

STATE OF THE ART

From the prior art siphons are known as odor traps. For example, is from the EP 1 447 486 a siphon has become known, which can be mounted in particular below a washstand or a rinsing trough. A disadvantage of the siphon according to EP 1 447 486 is that in a siphon cleaning the housing part must be removed and lying in the siphon water from the housing can escape uncontrollably. The siphon can not be cleaned without the help of a catch basin.

The EP 2 256 261 discloses a siphon having the same disadvantages as the above.

From the DE 37 25 076 Another siphon has become known. Such rotary siphons have the disadvantage that the flow rates are very negative.

The designs of the said siphons all have the disadvantage that the siphons are constructed as such very complex. This not only makes the production consuming, but leads, especially in connection with the assembly often to leakage problems.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Based on this prior art, the invention is based on an object Specify siphon, which overcomes the disadvantages of the above-mentioned prior art. In particular, it is an object to provide a siphon element which is as easy to clean as possible and has good flow rates.

This object is achieved by a siphon arrangement according to claim 1. Accordingly, a siphon arrangement comprises a housing having an inlet connection, an outlet connection and a siphon receptacle arranged between inlet connection and outlet connection, and a siphon element arranged in the siphon receptacle with a siphon section and an inlet facing the inlet connection and one to the outlet connection leading exit. Water is routable from inlet port to inlet to siphon section and from outlet to outlet port. At the inlet nozzle can be a drain line of a sanitary fitting, such as a washstand or a sink connect, and at the outlet can be connected to a sewer. The siphon is movable in the housing from a use position to a maintenance position, in particular pivotally mounted and is removable from the maintenance position via an access opening from the housing, in particular pulled out. The siphon element has the shape of a bent tube.

The design of the siphon element as a siphon element that can be removed from the housing and as a tube siphon has the advantage that the siphon element is easy to clean and has good flow rates.

Further, a particularly simple structure can be created by the formation of the siphon as a bent tube. In addition, this training has the advantage that complex seals are no longer necessary.

By a "bent pipe" is meant a pipe which is bent to form an odor trap. The bent tube is bent, for example, U-shaped. The "bent pipe" may also be referred to as a pipe bend siphon, pipe elbow trap or pipe siphon.

The siphon element is preferably designed such that during the movement of the siphon element, the water lying in the siphon section at least partially to the Outlet outlet flows and that any residual water in the siphon section can not escape from the siphon section when the siphon element is removed. With this preferred variant, uncontrolled water leakage in the case of cleaning can be largely avoided. This means that the described embodiment of the siphon element has the advantage that the water present in the siphon section can flow out of the siphon section in a controlled manner at least partially or completely via the outlet connection. This prevents the water from escaping uncontrollably during maintenance work, which typically leads to water damage or major cleaning work.

The design of the siphon element as a bent tube has the advantage that the siphon can act as a kind of vessel. This means that the residual water in the siphon can not escape from the siphon section when the siphon element is removed.

In addition, the formation of the siphon element as a bent pipe has the advantage that stagnant water is always only in the bent pipe, which is advantageous for the application of seals from the prior art seals.

Particularly preferably, the siphon element is pivotable about an angle of at most 120 °. Depending on the design of the siphon element, the angle can also be less than 120 °, which has the advantage that not all lying in Siphonabschnitt elements, such as a piece of jewelry, are emptied during the movement of the siphon from the siphon.

Preferably, the outlet is moved against the outlet nozzle during the movement into the maintenance position, the outlet then being lower than the inlet. The water lying in the siphon section can then emerge completely or at least partially through the outlet from the siphon element and flows out via the outlet connection.

Preferably, the siphon assembly further comprises a bearing element, which is connectable to the housing, wherein the siphon is movably mounted on the bearing member within a predetermined game. Storage element and siphon element are preferably two separate or separately formed Elements that are in mechanical communication with each other. The mechanical connection is such that the two parts can be pivoted relative to each other with respect to the fixed housing.

The siphon element is preferably connected to the bearing element via a longitudinal guide, wherein the movability between the siphon element and the bearing element within the predetermined clearance is essentially limited to the longitudinal movement along the longitudinal guide.

This means that the siphon element can move along the longitudinal guide relative to the bearing element. The mobility has the advantage that the siphon can be brought during the movement between the mounting position and position of use in the correct position, so that the siphon comes precisely to rest in the position of use.

The game is limited by corresponding mechanical stops, with the siphon can move within this game relative to the storage element.

Preferably, the siphon is connected via a latching connection with the bearing element in connection. The latching connection may be part of said longitudinal guide or may be formed separately from said longitudinal guide. The locking connection allows a game in the same direction as the longitudinal guide.

Particularly preferably, in the latching connection to latching tabs, which protrude from the storage element and engage in a latching opening on the siphon. The longitudinal guide is a guide pin, which protrudes from the bearing element and engages in a guide recess on the siphon element.

The Fürhungszapfen is preferably collinear to the pivot axis.

Preferably, a receptacle, in particular a bayonet closure, is arranged for the storage element in the region of the access opening. The storage element is locked in the use position on the recording with the housing. That means that Storage element is in the use position in a fixed connection with the housing.

The bayonet closure is preferably designed such that the siphon element can be used exclusively in the correct position in the housing.

Preferably, the storage element is a lid which closes the Siphonaufnahme. The siphon is then placed on the siphon receiving directed inside of the lid. On the outside of the lid, the lid has elements that can be grasped by the user.

The cover preferably extends completely in the use position over the access opening and closes it accordingly.

Preferably, the lid and the access opening are formed substantially circular, wherein the lid is inserted into the access opening and can be pivoted there accordingly. As a result of this pivoting, the siphon element is also pivoted between the maintenance position and the use position due to the connection between the cover and the siphon element.

Preferably, a seal is provided between the bearing element and the housing. With the seal, the connection between the storage element and the housing can be tightly sealed with respect to water, so that no water can escape from the housing.

In the embodiment of the circular cover and the circular access opening, the seal is preferably a sealing ring.

Preferably, the bearing element or the cover has an accessible from outside the housing actuator. The actuating element is preferably designed such that it can be easily grasped by hand without the aid of a tool.

At least one of the siphon receptacle and the siphon element is preferably at least one Guiding structure arranged. The guide structure is designed such that the siphon is pressed against the inlet port during rotation from the maintenance position to the use position. This means that the siphon is moved in the context of its mobility, in particular relative to the storage element in the siphon through the guide structure against the inlet nozzle, so that in the use position, the siphon against the inlet nozzle, in particular against the mouth of the inlet nozzle moves into the Siphonaufnahme and is pressed. This moving and pressing has the advantage of ensuring that the siphon element is well positioned against the inlet port, which is advantageous for the seal.

The guide structure may have smooth or flat guide surfaces or latched guide surfaces.

Particularly preferably, the guide structure has a guide surface and a guide pin abutting thereon. The guide surface is fixedly disposed in the siphon receptacle, wherein the guide pin is fixedly arranged on the siphon element and comes in contact with the guide surface during movement into the use position and slides along the guide surface in the direction of the inlet nozzle. As a result, the siphon is also guided in the direction of the inlet nozzle and pressed against the inlet nozzle.

Preferably, one guide structure is arranged on each side of the tube of the siphon element. This means in particular that in each case a pairing consisting of guide pin and guide surface is located on one side of the tube. This design has the advantage that it can lead to any tilting of the movement of the siphon between maintenance position and position of use.

Preferably, the guide surface is inclined at an angle to the line of movement of the guide pin from the service position to the use position, wherein the guide surface is oriented substantially in the same direction as said longitudinal guide when the siphon element is in the use position.

Preferably, the guide pin meets shortly before reaching the position of use on the guide surface. If the siphon is pivoted in the movement from the maintenance position to the use position, for example, by an angle of 120 °, the contact between the guide pin and guide surface is provided after a pivoting of at least 80 °, that is, the contact then still has a pivot angle of 10 °.

Preferably, in the mouth region of the inlet nozzle in the siphon receiving a seal is arranged, against which the inlet of the siphon element is tight, wherein the siphon is pressed in use position against the seal.

With regard to the guide structure, this means that with the aid of the latter, the siphon element is pressed against the seal, whereby a reliable concern of the entry of the siphon element to the seal can be achieved.

Preferably, the sealing surface of the seal is substantially at right angles to the movement of the siphon element provided by the guide structure shortly before or in the position of use. Preferably, the sealing surface of the seal is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal movement along the longitudinal guide just before or in the position of use. This has the advantage that the entry of the siphon element impinges on the seal substantially at right angles, which minimizes the wear of the seal and increases its service life.

The sealing surface is preferably formed inclined at an angle to the central axis of the inlet nozzle and thus lies in the installed position of the siphon assembly at an angle inclined to the vertical. This has the advantage that the Siphonaufnahme can be made more compact, because for the said right-angled movement of the siphon element on the sealing surface, less installation space is provided.

Preferably, the cross-section of the tube is oval or elliptical or circular. The cross-section of the inlet nozzle is preferably circular, wherein an adaptation of the cross-section of the pipe is vornehmbar on the seal. Preferably, the cross-section of the tube is substantially constant over the entire tube length.

Preferably, a wall substantially completely surrounds the pipe except for entry and exit. In other words, the tube is designed as a closed channel on the other side.

Preferably, the entry in the use position is substantially higher or at the same height as the exit. The siphon element extends as seen from the entry down in the direction of gravity down and then back up to the exit.

In the position of use, the inlet of the siphon element is located directly below the inlet nozzle, so that the entire amount of water can be supplied to the siphon.

While the inlet is preferably moved against the inlet nozzle as described above or below the inlet nozzle, the outlet is exposed in the siphon receptacle. The water guided through the siphon element will leave the siphon element via the outlet and flow into the siphon receiver, where it is then fed to the outlet nozzle. Preferably, the mouth region of the siphon receiving is arranged in the outlet nozzle in the bottom of a retention trough. The retention trough is designed such that in the installed position, the lowest edge region of the access opening lies at a distance above the retention trough.

Preferably, the siphon assembly has a retaining space which is designed such that an object located in the tube of the siphon element, such as a valuable object, can fall into the retention space upon rotation from the use position to the maintenance position.

The retention space is particularly preferably integrated with the siphon element and extends outwardly from the siphon wall in the region of the outlet and / or the inlet, wherein the retention space is designed in such a way that an object located in the tube, such as a valuable object, upon rotation of the use position can fall into the maintenance position in the retention room. Consequently, the user can remove the object from the retention space after removal of the siphon element from the Remove siphon holder. This prevents the object from falling out of the siphon element in the direction of the outlet nozzle during the movement from the use position to the maintenance position.

Alternatively, the retention space can also be arranged in the siphon receptacle.

Preferably, the outlet nozzle is arranged relative to the inlet nozzle such that water flows when the siphon element is not inserted from the inlet nozzle into the outlet. This is advantageous if water enters the siphon arrangement via the inlet when the siphon element is not used. This water will then flow through the siphon assembly and leave it through the outlet, so that water damage can be largely prevented.

Preferably, in the installed position, the inlet from the siphon receptacle into the outlet nozzle is lower than the access opening.

Further embodiments are given in the dependent claims.

In the figures, a siphon assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The siphon arrangement 1 comprises a housing 2 with an inlet connection 3, an outlet connection 4 and a siphon receptacle 5 arranged between inlet connection 3 and outlet connection 4. Furthermore, the siphon arrangement 1 comprises a siphon element 6 arranged or mounted in the siphon receiver 5 with a siphon section 7 and a siphon section 7 Inlet 3 facing the inlet 8 and a leading outlet 9 to the outlet 9. The siphon section 7 acts as an odor trap. Water is passed from the inlet port 3 via the inlet 8 into the siphon section 7, then passes through the siphon section 7 and then can be led away from the siphon section 7 via the outlet 9 to the outlet connection 4. The water flows through the siphon section 7. In the FIG. 6 the flow direction of the water was drawn with a dashed line F.

The siphon 6 is in the Siphonaufnahme 5 in the housing 2 from a maintenance position, as shown in the FIG. 4 is shown in a use position, as in the FIG. 6 shown, movably mounted. In the embodiment shown, the siphon element 6 can be pivoted about a pivot axis A. The pivoting angle can be up to 120 °. From the maintenance position, the siphon element 6 can be removed from the housing 2. In the embodiment shown, it is pulled out of the siphon receptacle 5 along the pivot axis A.

In the FIG. 2 an exploded view of the siphon assembly 1 is shown. The siphon element 6 has the shape of a bent tube 28. The tube 28 extends here from the inlet 8 to the outlet 9. Basically, the tube 28 is U-shaped, wherein the tube 28 laterally before and after the actual siphon section 7 slightly outward runs, creating a kind of bulbous U-shape.

The siphon assembly 1 further comprises a bearing element 29. The bearing element 29 is in the FIG. 2 also shown spaced from the housing 2. The bearing element 29 is connectable to the housing 2. The siphon element 6 is movably mounted on the bearing element 29 within a predetermined clearance S.

In the FIG. 3 becomes the combination of the bearing element 29 and the siphon element 6 shown in more detail. The siphon element 6 is here via a longitudinal guide 30 with the bearing element 29 in connection. The mobility between the siphon element 6 and the bearing element 29 is limited within the predetermined game S substantially to the longitudinal movement along the longitudinal guide 30. This means that the siphon element 6 can move along the longitudinal guide 30 as part of the game S.

In the embodiment shown, the siphon element 6 is connected to the bearing element 29 via a latching connection 31. The latching connection 31 is formed separately from the said longitudinal guide 30. The latching connection 31 comprises latching lugs 37 projecting from the storage element 29 and engaging in latching openings 38 on the siphon element 6. That is, the siphon 6 can enter via the detent opening 38 with the locking tabs 37 a latching connection to the bearing element 29.

In the longitudinal guide in the embodiment shown, it is a guide pin 39, which also protrudes from the bearing element 29 and protrudes into a guide recess on the siphon element 6. The guide recess 40 extends slot-shaped in the direction in which a longitudinal displaceability is desired. In the embodiment shown, the geometric configuration of the guide pin 39 and the guide recess 40 defines the play S.

In the embodiment shown, the guide recess 40 and the detent opening 38 are arranged in a wall 43 which is located in the intermediate space formed by the two pipe sections of the pipe 28. To the guide recess 40 and the latching opening 38 reinforcing ribs 44 are arranged.

The latching connection 31 between the bearing element 29 and the siphon element 6 likewise has a clearance which allows said movement along the longitudinal guide 30.

In alternative embodiments, which are not shown here, the latching connection 31 may also be an integral part of the longitudinal guide 30.

The Figures 2 and 3 show that in the area of the access opening 24 in the Siphonaufnahme 5 a receptacle 22 is arranged. The receptacle 22 serves to receive the storage element 29, wherein the storage element 29 can be locked in the use position on the receptacle with the housing 2. In the embodiment shown, the receptacle 22 and the bearing element 29 are formed as a bayonet closure. That is, the storage element 29 can be inserted into the receptacle 22 and is then pivoted relative to the fixed receptacle 22.

The storage element 22 is in the embodiment shown, a lid which closes the Siphonaufnahme 5 in the region of the access opening 24. The cover 29 extends completely over said access opening 24. Between the bearing element 29 and the housing 2, a seal 16 is provided here. With the seal 16, the Siphonaufnahme 5 can be sealed to the outside. When the seal 16 is a circular ring seal, which is preferably mounted on a shoulder 41 on the charge element 29 and is pressed against an inner wall 42 in the region of the access opening 24.

Another seal is arranged in the mouth region 35 of the inlet nozzle 3 in the siphon receptacle. This seal is in the FIG. 3 shown and has the reference numeral 17. In connection with the FIGS. 4 to 6 the cooperation of this seal with the inlet 8 of the siphon is explained in more detail. The inlet 8 of the siphon element 6 is close to this seal 17, wherein the siphon element 6 is pressed in the use position against the seal 17.

The cross section of the tube 28 of the siphon element is formed in the embodiment shown oval or elliptical. Over the entire tube length, the cross section of the tube 28 is substantially constant. The tube 28 is surrounded by a siphon wall 10. The cross section of the tube 28 may also be circular. In the embodiment shown, an oval structure was chosen because this is beneficial to the space and compactness of the siphon element 6.

In the sectional view of FIG. 4 the siphon element is shown in the maintenance position. From this maintenance position we then the siphon 6 in the Use position along the arrow V pivoted.

In the FIG. 5 is the siphon 6 shortly before taking the use position. Between the siphon receptacle 5 and the siphon element 6, a guide structure 32 is arranged. The guide structure 32 is in the embodiment shown in the region of the inlet nozzle 3 and the inlet 8 in the siphon 6. The guide structure 32 is formed such that the siphon 6 during rotation from the maintenance position in the use position against the inlet port 3, ie in Direction of the inlet nozzle 3, is pressed. That is, with the guide structure 32, a movement in the direction of the arrow P of the siphon element 6 against the inlet nozzle 3 can be provided. The movement in the direction of the arrow P is oriented substantially in the direction of the longitudinal guide 30. That is, the siphon element 6 is pressed in the direction of the longitudinal guide 30 against the inlet nozzle 3. In the embodiment shown, the seal 17 is arranged in the mouth region 35 of the inlet nozzle 3 in the siphon receptacle 5.

The seal 17 comprises a sealing surface 18. The siphon element 6 is now pressed against the sealing surface by the guide structure 32. The sealing surface 18 is substantially at right angles to the longitudinal guide 30, when the siphon element 6 is in the position of use, oriented. That is, the siphon element 6 is pressed onto the sealing surface 18 substantially at right angles. The inlet 8 of the tube 28 is surrounded here by an end face 19 and the end face 19 is pressed against the sealing surface 18.

In the embodiment shown, the guide structure 32 comprises a guide surface 33 and a guide pin 34 abutting thereon. The guide surface 33 is fixedly connected to the siphon receptacle 5 and the guide pin 34 is fixedly arranged on the siphon element 6. During the movement into the use position, the guide pin 34 then comes into contact with the guide surface 33 and slides along the guide surface 33 in the direction of the inlet nozzle 3 or in the direction of the seal 17. In this way, the siphon element 6 is also pressed in the direction of the inlet nozzle 3.

The guide surface 33 is inclined at an angle to the movement line B of the guide pin of the maintenance position oriented in the use position. In this case, the guide surface 33 is oriented in substantially the same direction in the said longitudinal guide 30 when the siphon element 6 is in or shortly before the use position. In the FIG. 5 the impact of the guide pin 34 on the guide surface 33 is shown. In a further pivoting the siphon element 6 will slide within the game S of the longitudinal guide 30 along the guide surface 33 in the direction of the inlet nozzle 3 and then takes the in the FIG. 6 shown location. The in the FIG. 6 shown position corresponds to the position of use, in which water from inlet nozzle 3 can flow into the siphon element 6. In the position of use, the inlet 8 of the siphon element 6 is pressed against the sealing surface 19.

The comparison of the position of the siphon element 6 between the position in the FIG. 5 and in the FIG. 6 clearly shows that the play S was fully utilized in the region of the longitudinal guide 30 and the latching connection 31. This means that the siphon element of the in the FIG. 5 shown lower position in the FIG. 6 shown upper position within the game S is moved.

In all figures, it can be well recognized that in the region of the inlet 8, a retaining space 36 extends outward on the siphon wall 10. This retention space 36 is advantageous in the movement of the siphon element 6 in the maintenance position, as well as this in the FIG. 4 will be shown. An object located in the lowermost region of the siphon element 6, for example a valuable object, can fall into the retaining position 36 during the rotation of the siphon element from the use position into the maintenance position. That is, the object is retained in the retention space 36 and is not leased about the entrance 8. In this respect, it can be prevented that the object moves in the direction of the outlet 4 and thus in the direction of the sewage network.

Of the FIG. 2 can be well recognized as the water is guided from the inlet port 3 via the inlet 8 in the siphon section 7 and then can flow from the outlet 9 to the outlet 4. The inlet in the outlet 4 is located lower to the receptacle 22 and the access opening 24. This can be prevented that the water from the siphon section 7 after the rotational movement through the Access opening 24 flows out. In the embodiment shown, an apron 45 extends downwardly from the access opening 24, the said inlet then being at the lower end of the skirt 45.

In the FIGS. 4 to 6 It is shown that the siphon element 6 is formed such that during a movement of the siphon element 6, the water lying in the siphon section 7 at least partially flows to the outlet port 4. In the FIG. 6 the water lying in the siphon section 7 is symbolized by a dashed line W. In the FIG. 5 the siphon element 6 is shown in the use position. The siphon section 7 is filled with water up to the line W, which runs through the inlet 8 and the outlet 9. If now the siphon element 6 is pivoted from the use position into the maintenance position, then the water lying in the siphon section 7 can flow off via the outlet 9 in the direction of the outlet connection 4. This is in the FIG. 4 symbolized by the arrow V. The water thus flows over the edge with the reference numeral 14, which limits the outlet 9, in the direction of the outlet 4 from.

The siphon element 6 is furthermore designed in such a way that any residual water in the siphon section 7 can not flow out of the siphon section 7 when the siphon element 6 is removed. That is, the siphon section 7 is formed as a kind of "cup" wherein the water then remains in this "cup". In the embodiment shown, the siphon section 7 is bounded by a wall 10. The wall 10 surrounds the siphon section 7, apart from the inlet 8 and the outlet 9, substantially complete. Thus, the siphon section 7 is formed by the wall 10 as a closed channel on the other side, whereby the just mentioned "cup" can be provided.

Based on FIG. 3 Now further features of the present embodiment will be explained in more detail.

In the use position, the inlet 8 of the siphon section 7 is slightly higher than the outlet 9. The outlet 9 can then be moved in the movement from the use position to the maintenance position against the outlet 4, wherein the outlet 9 is then lower than the entrance 8th.

The siphon element 6 is mounted in the access opening 24 via a bayonet catch 15. The bayonet closure 2 is arranged such that it lies outside the water-carrying parts. The bayonet lock 15 has two clamping tabs 26 in the illustrated embodiment. The one of the two clamping straps is designed differently than the other of the two clamping straps, so that it is ensured that the siphon element 6 can be used exclusively in the correct position in the housing 2.

Next, the siphon 6 has an accessible from outside the housing 2 actuator 23. The actuating element 23 is here so web formed, which can be taken well by a user by hand.
