Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Strahlregler mit einem Strahlreglergehäuse, das an seinem Gehäuseaußenumfang ein Außengewinde trägt, mit dem der Stahlregler in einem, im Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur vorgesehenen Innengewinde montierbar ist, wobei eine abströmseitige Gehäusestirnfläche des Strahlreglergehäuses als eine, Durchflusslöcher für das den Strahlregler durchströmende Wasser aufweisende Gitter- oder Netzstruktur ausgebildet ist, die zumindest eine als schlitzförmige Einsenkung dieser Gitter- oder Netzstruktur ausgebildete und für ein Drehwerkzeug bestimmte Werkzeugangriffsfläche aufweist und wobei im Bereich der ersten Einsenkung eine ebenfalls als Werkzeugangriffsfläche bestimmte zweite schlitzförmige Einsenkung vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a jet regulator with a jet regulator housing, which carries an external thread on its outer circumference with which the steel regulator can be mounted in a, provided in the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting internal thread, wherein a downstream housing end face of the jet regulator housing as a, flow holes for the water flowing through the jet regulator having grating or network structure is formed, which has at least one formed as a slot-shaped depression of this grid or network structure and intended for a turning tool engagement surface and wherein in the region of the first recess a likewise designated as a tool engagement surface second slot-shaped depression is provided.
Aus der
Da die an der abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnfläche vorgesehene Einsenkung an einen Schraubenschlitz erinnert und da insbesondere auch dem Sanitärhandwerk eine als Drehwerkzeug geeignete Münze nicht immer griffbereit zur Verfügung steht, ist mancher Anwender geneigt, stattdessen einen gegebenenfalls auch kleinen Schraubenzieher mit entsprechend schmaler Schraubenzieherklinge zu verwenden. Da ein Schraubenzieher die schlitzförmige Einsenkung kaum ausfüllt, lässt sich das insbesondere zum Lösen einer eventuell auch verkalkten Schraubverbindung erforderliche Drehmoment kaum auf den vorbekannten Strahlregler aufbringen. Wird dabei auch noch ein kleiner Schraubenzieher verwendet, besteht die Gefahr, dass sich dessen Schraubenzieherklinge verkantet und dass bei Aufbringen eines übergroßen Drehmoments die Einsenkung seitlich aufgehebelt und die umgebende Gitter- oder Netzstruktur geweitet beziehungsweise zerstört wird und der Strahlregler unbrauchbar wird.Since the recess provided at the downstream housing end face is reminiscent of a screw slot, and since a coin suitable for turning tools is not always readily available to the sanitary trade, many users are inclined to use an optionally also small screwdriver with a correspondingly narrow screwdriver blade. Since a screwdriver hardly fills the slot-shaped depression, the torque required in particular for releasing a possibly also calcified screw connection can hardly be applied to the previously known jet regulator. If even a small screwdriver is used, there is a risk that its screwdriver blade canted and that when applying an excessive torque, the depression levered laterally and the surrounding grid or network structure is widened or destroyed and the jet regulator is unusable.
Aus der
Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, einen Strahlregler der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, der so konstruiert ist, dass solchen Fehlbedienungen entgegengewirkt wird, ohne dass deshalb die angestrebte kompakte Bauweise eines solchen Strahlreglers verloren geht.It is therefore an object to provide a jet regulator of the type mentioned above, which is constructed so that such incorrect operation is counteracted without therefore the desired compact design of such a jet regulator is lost.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei dem Strahlregler der eingangs erwähnten Art darin, dass die zweite Einsenkung im Vergleich zur ersten Einsenkung einen kleineren Einsenkungsquerschnitt aufweist und im Schlitzgrund der ersten Einsenkung vorgesehen ist.The inventive solution to this problem is in the jet regulator of the type mentioned is that the second recess compared to the first recess has a smaller Einsenkungsquerschnitt and is provided in the slot bottom of the first recess.
Der erfindungsgemäße Strahlregler weist im Bereich seiner abströmseitigen ersten Einsenkung eine zweite Einsenkung auf, die ebenfalls schlitzförmig ausgestaltet und als Werkzeugangriffsfläche bestimmt ist. Diese zweite Einsenkung weist im Vergleich zur ersten Einsenkung einen kleineren Einsenkungsquerschnitt auf und ist im Schlitzgrund der ersten Einsenkung vorgesehen. Während in die demgegenüber größere erste Einsenkung eine als Drehwerkzeug zweckentfremdete Münze oder die Schraubenzieherklinge eines größeren Schraubenziehers eingeführt werden kann, ist in die zweite Einsenkung auch ein kleinerer Schraubenzieher einführbar. Dabei kann ein solches Drehwerkzeug zum Verdrehen einer als Schwenkteil ausgebildeten Gitter- oder Netzstruktur dienen, die in einer Gelenkpfanne am Gehäuse innenumfang des Strahlreglergehäuses schwenkbar gelagert ist, oder aber das Drehwerkzeug dient zum Festziehen und Lösen der Schraubverbindung zwischen dem Strahlregler und dem Wasserauslauf. Da die im Schlitzgrund der ersten Einsenkung vorgesehene zweite schlitzförmige Einsenkung einen kleineren Einsenkungsquerschnitt aufweist, ist in die zweite Einsenkung auch ein kleinerer Schraubenzieher einführbar, der dabei die erste Einsenkung praktisch berührungslos durchsetzt. Da mit Hilfe der auch kleinere Schraubenzieher in sich aufnehmenden zweiten Einsenkung Fehlbedienungen entgegengewirkt werden kann, ohne dass deshalb außerhalb der Gitter- oder Netzstruktur vorstehende separate Werkzeugangriffsflächen angeformt sein müssen, muss auf die kompakte Bauweise und konstruktive Auslegung eines solchen Strahlreglers deshalb nicht verzichtet werden.The jet regulator according to the invention has, in the region of its downstream first depression, a second depression, which likewise has the shape of a slot and is intended as a tool engagement surface. This second depression has a smaller depression cross-section compared to the first depression and is provided in the slot bottom of the first depression. While in the opposite larger first depression can be inserted as a turning tool misused coin or the screwdriver blade of a larger screwdriver, in the second depression and a smaller screwdriver can be inserted. In this case, such a rotary tool can be used to rotate a grid or network structure designed as a pivoting part, which in a socket on the housing inner circumference of the jet regulator housing is pivotally mounted, or the rotary tool is used to tighten and loosen the screw between the jet regulator and the water outlet. Since the second slot-shaped depression provided in the slot bottom of the first recess has a smaller depression cross-section, a smaller screwdriver can also be inserted into the second depression, which passes through the first depression practically without contact. Since with the help of smaller screwdriver in receiving second depression operating errors can be counteracted without therefore outside the grid or network structure projecting separate tool engagement surfaces must be formed, must therefore not be waived the compact design and structural design of such a jet regulator.
Die kompakte Bauweise und die auch ästhetisch ansprechende Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Strahlreglers im Bereich seines Auslaufstirnbildes wird noch begünstigt, wenn die erste und die zweite Einsenkung einen formgleichen und vorzugsweise rechteckigen Einsenkungsquerschnitt aufweisen mit Einsenkungslängs- und demgegenüber kürzeren Einsenkungsschmalseiten.The compact design and the aesthetically pleasing design of the jet regulator according to the invention in the region of its outlet end face is further favored when the first and the second recess have a same shape and preferably rectangular Einsenkungsquerschnitt with Einsenkungslängs- and contrast shorter Einweisungsschmalseiten.
Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass die erste und die zweite Einsenkung achsparallele Längsachsen haben und dass die zweite Einsenkung im Einsenkungsgrund der ersten Einsenkung etwa zentral angeordnet ist.In this case, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the first and the second recess axially parallel longitudinal axes and that the second recess in the depression bottom of the first depression is arranged approximately centrally.
Damit beim Einführen eines Drehwerkzeuges dieses auch in der zweiten Einsenkung gut und sicher geführt ist, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die zweite: Einsenkung:als Sackloch ausgebildet ist, das auf der einer stirnseitigen Einsenkungsöffnung der ersten Einsenkung abgewandten Seite einen vorzugsweise geschlossenen Schlitzgrund hat. Somit ist das Drehwerkzeug nur bis zum Schlitzgrund der zweiten Einsenkung in diese einführbar.Thus, when inserting a rotary tool this well and safely guided in the second recess, it is advantageous if the second: recess: formed as a blind hole is that on the side facing away from an end-side depression opening of the first recess side has a preferably closed slot bottom. Thus, the turning tool is only into the slot bottom of the second depression in this insertable.
Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung, durch die auch die kompakte Bauweise des erfindungsgemäßen Strahlreglers noch begünstigt wird, sieht vor, dass sich die zweite Einsenkung bis in eine Ausformung erstreckt, die an die der Einsenkungsöffnung der ersten Einsenkung abgewandten Stirnfläche der Gitter- oder Netzstruktur angeformt ist.A preferred embodiment according to the invention, through which the compact design of the jet regulator according to the invention is still favored, provides that the second depression extends into a formation which is formed on the end face of the grid or network structure facing away from the depression opening of the first depression is.
Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung, die auch die Aufnahme und Übertragung höherer Drehmomente auf die Gitter- oder Netzstruktur erlaubt, vor, dass die Ausformung durch angeformte Verstärkungsrippen verstärkt ist, die über die der Einsenkungsöffnung der ersten Einsenkung abgewandten Stirnfläche der Gitter- oder Netzstruktur vorstehen und die sich vorzugsweise in ihrer Verlängerung in der Strahlreglerlängsachse kreuzen.In this case, a preferred development according to the invention, which also allows the recording and transmission of higher torques on the grid or network structure, before, that the formation is reinforced by molded reinforcing ribs, which remote from the depression opening of the first depression end face of the grid or Project network structure and preferably cross in their extension in the jet regulator longitudinal axis.
Um beim Einführen eines Schraubenziehers dessen Schraubenzieherklinge gut in der zweiten Einsenkung führen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn sich der Einsenkungsquerschnitt der zweiten Einsenkung in Richtung zum Schlitzgrund zumindest bereichsweise verjüngt.In order to be able to guide the screwdriver blade well in the second depression when inserting a screwdriver, it is advantageous if the depression cross section of the second depression tapers at least in regions in the direction of the slot base.
Dazu sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass die Einsenkungslängs- und/oder die Einsenkungsquerseiten in Richtung zum Schlitzgrund aufeinander zulaufen. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildung gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die erste Einsenkung einen kreisbogenförmigen Einsenkungsgrund hat, wobei dieser kreissegmentförmig ausgebildete Einsenkungsgrund zur Aufnahme einer als Drehwerkzeug zweckentfremdeten und in ihrer Außenkontur komplementär geformten Münze bestimmt ist. Ein solcher kreisbogenförmiger Einsenkungsgrund passt sich nicht nur gut an die Außenkontur einer komplementär geformten und als Drehwerkzeug zweckentfremdeten Münze an, - vielmehr wird an diesem kreisbogenförmigen Einsenkungsgrund der ersten Einsenkung auch ein für die zweite Einsenkung bestimmtes Drehwerkzeug gut geführt, bis dieses Drehwerkzeug die Einsenkungsöffnung der zweiten Einsenkung findet. Die kreisbogenförmige Ausgestaltung des Einsenkungsgrunds der ersten Einsenkung kann somit die einfache Handhabung bei der Montage des erfindungsgemäßen Strahlreglers wesentlich erleichtern.For this purpose, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the depression longitudinal and / or the depression transverse sides converge toward one another in the direction of the slot base. A particularly advantageous development according to the invention provides that the first recess has a circular arc-shaped depression base, wherein this countersunk base formed in the manner of a circle segment for receiving a tool other than a rotary tool and complementary in its outer contour shaped coin is intended. Such a circular depression base not only adapts well to the outer contour of a complementarily shaped and misappropriated as a rotary tool coin, but rather a rotary tool intended for the second depression is well performed on this circular base of the first depression, until this rotary tool, the depression opening of the second Depression finds. The circular arc-shaped configuration of the depression base of the first depression can thus substantially facilitate the simple handling during the assembly of the jet regulator according to the invention.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die zweite Einsenkung zur Aufnahme einer als Drehwerkzeug dienenden Schraubendreher- oder Schraubenzieherklinge bestimmt ist. Während also in die erste Einsenkung eine als Drehwerkzeug zweckentfremdete Münze eingeführt werden kann, ist demgegenüber die zweite Einsenkung für einen als anderes Drehwerkzeug verwendeten Schraubenzieher vorgesehen.A preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the second recess for receiving a turning tool serving as a screwdriver or screwdriver blade is intended. Thus, while in the first depression a diverted as a rotary tool coin can be introduced, in contrast, the second recess is provided for a screwdriver used as another rotary tool.
Damit auch höhere Drehmomente auf die die Einsenkungen umgebende Gitter- oder Netzstruktur übertragen werden können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Durchflusslöcher in einem Abstand von den Einsenkungslängs- und/oder von den Einsenkungsschmalseiten der ersten Einsenkung angeordnet sind, welcher Abstand größer ist als die Wandungsdicke von, zwischen benachbarten Durchflusslöchern der Gitter- oder Netzstruktur angeordneten Trenn- oder Strömungsführungswänden.So that higher torques can also be transmitted to the grids or network structure surrounding the depressions, it is advantageous if the flow holes are arranged at a distance from the depression longitudinal and / or narrowing sides of the first depression, which distance is greater than the wall thickness from, between adjacent flow holes of the grid or network structure arranged separation or flow guide walls.
Um dem in die erste Einsenkung eingeführten Drehwerkzeug eine ausreichende Kontaktfläche an den Längsseiten dieser Einsenkung zu bieten, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Strahlregler eine konvex gewölbte oder ausgebauchte Gehäusestirnfläche hat. Durch die konvexe Ausbauchung der abströmseitigen Gehäusestirnfläche weist auch die erste Einsenkung im Bereich der Strahlreglerlängsachse eine entsprechend große Längserstreckung auf, welche die dem Drehwerkzeug zur Verfügung stehende Kontaktfläche in diesem Bereich wesentlich vergrößert.In order to provide a sufficient contact surface on the longitudinal sides of this depression to the rotary tool introduced into the first countersink, it is advantageous if the jet regulator has a convexly curved or bulged housing end face. By the convex bulge of the downstream housing end face also has the first depression in the region of the jet regulator longitudinal axis a correspondingly large longitudinal extension, which substantially increases the contact surface available to the turning tool in this region.
Wie bereits oben ausgeführt wurde, können die für entsprechende Drehwerkzeuge bestimmten Einsenkungen in der Gehäusestirnfläche dazu dienen, die als Schwenkteil ausgebildete und in einer am Gehäuseinnenumfang des Strahlreglergehäuses vorgesehenen Gelenkpfanne schwenkbar gelagerte Gitter- oder Netzstruktur derart zu verdrehen, dass diese Gitter- oder Netzstruktur wahlweise einen gegenüber der Strahlreglerlängsachse geänderten Auslaufwinkel einnimmt, der das austretende Wasser in dieser Richtung ablenkt. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung, welche die Handhabung des erfindungsgemäßen Strahlreglers noch zusätzlich begünstigt, sieht demgegenüber vor, dass die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnfläche mit dem Strahlreglergehäuse oder mit einem abströmseitigen Gehäuseteil des mehrteiligen Strahlreglergehäuses einstückig verbunden ist.As has already been explained above, the depressions in the housing end face intended for corresponding turning tools can serve to rotate the lattice or network structure designed as a pivoting part and pivotably mounted in a joint socket provided on the inner housing circumference of the jet regulator housing in such a way that this lattice or network structure optionally has one compared with the jet regulator longitudinal axis changed outlet angle occupies, which deflects the exiting water in this direction. A preferred embodiment according to the invention, which additionally favors the handling of the jet regulator according to the invention, on the other hand, provides that the downstream housing end face is integrally connected to the jet regulator housing or to a downstream housing part of the multi-part jet regulator housing.
Sofern der erfindungsgemäße Strahlregler auch einen perlend-weichen, das heißt belüfteten Auslaufstrahl formen soll, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Strahlregler als belüfteter Strahlregler oder als sogenannter Strahlbelüfter ausgebildet ist.If the jet regulator according to the invention is also intended to form a sparkling-soft, that is ventilated outflow jet, it is advantageous if the jet regulator is designed as a ventilated jet regulator or as a so-called jet aerator.
Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass das Strahlreglergehäuse oder das abströmseitige Gehäuseteil einen innere Gehäuseumfangswand sowie zumindest eine die innere Gehäuseumfangswand mit Abstand umgreifende äußere Gehäusewand hat und dass im Zwischenraum zwischen der inneren Gehäuseumfangswand und der benachbarten äußeren Gehäuseumfangswand wenigstens ein zur Abströmseite des Strahlreglers hin offener und im Inneren des Strahlreglergehäuses mündender Belüftungskanal vorgesehen ist.Here, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the jet regulator housing or the downstream housing part has an inner housing peripheral wall and at least one inner housing peripheral wall at a distance encompassing outer housing wall and that in the space between the inner housing peripheral wall and the adjacent outer housing peripheral wall at least one to the downstream side of the Jet regulator open towards and in the interior of the jet regulator housing opening venting channel is provided.
Weiterbildungen gemäß der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Ansprüchen in Verbindung mit der Beschreibung sowie der Zeichnung. Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispieles noch näher beschrieben.Further developments according to the invention will become apparent from the claims in conjunction with the description and the drawings.

Für den hier dargestellten Strahlregler 3 ist kennzeichnend, dass dieser im Schlitzgrund einer ersten Einsenkung 8 eine ebenfalls als Werkzeugangriffsfläche für ein anderes Drehwerkzeug bestimmte zweite schlitzförmige Einsenkung 9 hat, und dass die zweite Einsenkung 9 im Vergleich zur ersten Einsenkung 8 einen kleineren Einsenkungsquerschnitt aufweist. Der Strahlregler 3 weist also im Schlitzgrund der abströmseitigen ersten Einsenkung 8 die zweite Einsenkung 9 auf, die ebenfalls schlitzförmig ausgestaltet und als Werkzeugangriffsfläche bestimmt ist. Diese zweite Einsenkung 9 weist im Vergleich zur ersten Einsenkung 8 einen kleineren Einsenkungsquerschnitt auf. Während in die demgegenüber größere erste Einsenkung 8 eine als Drehwerkzeug zweckentfremdete Münze oder die Schraubenzieherklinge eines größeren Schraubenziehers eingeführt werden kann, ist in die zweite Einsenkung 9 auch ein kleinerer Schraubenzieher einführbar, der dabei die erste Einsenkung 8 praktisch berührungslos durchsetzt. Dabei kann ein solches Drehwerkzeug zum Verdrehen einer als Schwenkteil ausgebildeten Gitter- oder Netzstruktur dienen, die in einer Gelenkpfanne am Gehäuseinnenumfang des Strahlreglergehäuses schwenkbar gelagert ist, oder aber das Drehwerkzeug dient - wie hier - zum Festziehen und Lösen der Schraubverbindung zwischen dem Strahlregler 3 und dem Wasserauslauf. Da mit Hilfe der, auch kleinere Schraubenzieher in sich aufnehmenden zweiten Einsenkung 9 Fehlbedienung entgegengewirkt wird, ohne dass deshalb außerhalb der Gitter- oder Netzstruktur vorstehende separate Werkzeugangriffsflächen angeformt sein müssten, muss auf die kompakte Bauweise und konstruktive Auslegung eines solchen Strahlreglers 3 deshalb nicht verzichtet werden.It is characteristic of the jet regulator 3 shown here that it has a second slot-shaped

Die zweite Einsenkung 9 ist als Sackloch ausgebildet, das auf der, einer stirnseitigen Einsenkungsöffnung 10 der ersten Einsenkung 8 abgewandten Seite einen hier geschlossenen Schlitzgrund 11 hat. Während die erste Einsenkung 8 etwa achsparallel zur Strahlreglerlängsachse verlaufende Einsenkungslängs- und Einsenkungsschmalseiten aufweist, verjüngt sich der Einsenkungsquerschnitt der zweiten Einsenkung 9 in Richtung zum Schlitzgrund 11 zumindest bereichsweise. Dazu laufen die Einsenkungslängs- sowie die Einsenkungsschmalseiten der zweiten Einsenkung 9 in Richtung zum Schlitzgrund 11 aufeinander zu.The

Die Gitter- oder Netzstruktur hat eine abströmseitige Ausbauchung derart, dass der Strahlregler eine konvex gewölbte Gehäusestirnfläche aufweist. Durch die konvexe Ausbauchung der Gehäusestirnfläche weisen die Einsenkungslängsseiten der ersten Einsenkung 8 eine vergrößerte Tiefe auf, wodurch die dem Drehwerkzeug zur Verfügung stehende Kontaktfläche vergrößert wird.The grid or network structure has a downstream bulge such that the jet regulator has a convexly curved housing end face. Due to the convex bulging of the housing end face, the depression longitudinal sides of the
Die abströmseitige Gehäusestirnfläche 6 und somit auch die Gitter- oder Netzstruktur ist mit dem Strahlreglergehäuse 4 einstückig verbunden. Der Strahlregler 3 ist hier als belüfteter Strahlregler oder als sogenannter Strahlbelüfter ausgebildet. Dazu hat das Strahlreglergehäuse 4 eine innere Gehäuseumfangwand 24 sowie eine die innere Gehäuseumfangwand 24 mit Abstand umgreifende äußere Gehäuseumfangswand 25, zwischen denen wenigstens ein zur Abströmseite des Strahlreglers 3 hin offener und im Inneren des Strahlreglergehäuses 4 mündender Belüftungskanal 16 vorgesehen ist. Der Strahlregler 3 hat einen Strahlzerleger 17, der eine Mehrzahl von Zerlegeröffnungen 18 aufweist. Dieser Strahlzerleger 17 lenkt das durchströmende Wasser nach außen zur Gehäuseumfangswand hin um und teilt das durchströmende Wasser in Einzelstrahlen auf. Dieser Strahlzerleger 17 ist hier als topfförmiger Diffusor ausgebildet, der einen quer zur Durchströmrichtung des zuströmenden Wassers orientierten Topfboden 19 hat, welcher als eine das Wasser zur Seite hin umlenkende Prallfläche dient. An der Umfangswand 20 dieser Topfform sind die vorzugsweise in gleichmäßigen Abständen angeordneten Zerlegeröffnungen 18 vorgesehen. Diese Zerlegeröffnungen 18 münden in einem sich in Durchströmrichtung zumindest abschnittsweise verjüngenden Ringkanal 21, wobei der wenigstens eine Belüftungskanal 16 seine in das Gehäuseinnere führende Kanalöffnung 22 in einem sich an den Ringkanal 21 abströmseitig anschließenden Teilbereich des Gehäuseinnenumfangs angeordnet ist. Somit trifft das zum Strahlregler 3 strömende Wasser, das bereits im Vorsatz- oder Filtersieb 2 gefiltert und im Durchflussmengenregler 23 druckunabhängig auf eine festgelegte maximale Durchflussleistung eingeregelt wurde, zunächst auf den als Prallfläche dienenden Topfboden 19 des Strahlzerlegers 17 auf, um von dort nach außen zu den in der Umfangswand 20 vorgesehenen Zerlegeröffnungen 18 umgelenkt zu werden. Das in den Zerlegeröffnungen 18 in Einzelstrahlen aufgeteilte Wasser strömt anschließend in den Ringkanal 21 ein, der sich in Durchströmrichtung verjüngt. Durch die Querschnittsverengungen in diesem Bereich des Strahlreglers 3 und durch die verjüngende Ausgestaltung des Ringkanals 21 erfährt das durchströmende Wasser eine Geschwindigkeitserhöhung, die auf der Abströmseite des Ringkanals 21 zu einem Unterdruck führt. Durch diesen Unterdruck wird Umgebungsluft durch die Belüftungskanäle 16 hindurch in das Gehäuseinnere des Strahlreglergehäuses 4 angesaugt. Der Ringkanal 21 wird zwischen dem außenseitigen Topfumfang des Strahlzerlegers 17 und der Innenseite eines benachbarten Diffusorrings 15 gebildet, der in das Strahlreglergehäuse 4 eingesetzt ist. In der zwischen Strahlzerleger 17 und Gitter- oder Netzstruktur angeordneten Mischzone des Strahlreglergehäuses 4 wird das durchströmende Wasser mit der angesaugten Umgebungsluft durchmischt, bevor das derart verwirbelte und mit Luft durchmischte Wasser in den Durchflusslöchern 7 der Gitter- oder Netzstruktur wieder zu einem homogenen, nicht-spritzenden und perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl geformt wird.The downstream
