Definitions
- Drain valve for toilet flushing unit restrictor for drain valve, cistern with drain valve and method for its installation
- the invention relates to a drain valve for a toilet flushing unit with the features of the preamble of claim 1, and a throttle for a drain valve, a cistern with drain valve and a method for its assembly. In recent times, rimless toilet bowls are getting bigger and bigger
- a rimless toilet bowl has, in contrast to a conventional toilet bowl with flushing edge only a minimal edge directly on the water inlet. This simplifies cleaning, resulting in an improved hygienic condition.
- the rimless toilet bowl is often preferred from an aesthetic point of view.
- volume flow of the rinse water so the amount of flushing water supplied per unit time, must be precisely adjusted. If the volume flow is too low, the water supply opposite part of the toilet bowl is not sufficiently flushed. If the volume flow is too high, flushing water can splash beyond the edge of the pool due to the lack of flushing rim. The adjustment of the volume flow is usually made during installation.
- EP 2 602 391 A1 proposes installing a purge flow restrictor for adjusting the volume flow in the flush water inlet of the toilet bowl.
- a flushing valve for a toilet flushing unit comprising:
- Opening and closing the outlet opening is movable
- a throttle which is arranged downstream of the overflow pipe and designed to adjust the volume flow of flushing water which flows through the drain valve when the drain valve is opened,
- the throttle comprises an actuating means which is operable in the assembled state of the drain valve for adjusting the throttle.
- a key idea of the invention is not to provide the element for adjusting the volume flow in the toilet bowl, but to integrate into the drain valve of the cistern. As a result, the actuating means is accessible even in the assembled state of the toilet, so that a setting of the
- volumetric flow is possible at any time after installation. This will be the
- the throttle is arranged in the outlet opening of the drain valve. This allows a compact and robust construction of the drain valve. It is further preferred that the volume flow in a range between 1.8 l / s (liters per second) and 2.6 l / s, more preferably between 2.0 l / s and 2.4 l / s is adjustable , This ensures that the drainage valve according to the invention is suitable for use with common rimless toilet bowls and the volume flow of the rinse water can be adjusted so that both an insufficient rinsing effect due to low volume flow and overspray due to excessive volume flow can be avoided.
- the actuating means is guided through the overflow pipe. This ensures a simple construction and protects the actuating means by guiding in the overflow pipe. It is particularly preferred here that the actuating means projects beyond the overflow pipe. Thus, the actuating means in the installed state of the drain valve is easy to reach.
- the actuating means is formed by the overflow tube, which is designed to be rotatable about its central axis.
- a throttle is further specified for use in a drain valve.
- the throttle according to the invention comprises at least one throttle element, wherein for adjusting the volume flow of the
- Flow cross-section of the throttle is adjustable by a rotational movement.
- the throttle element of the throttle according to the invention is connected to the
- Actuating element of the drain valve in operative connection and thus enables the inventive adjustment of the volume flow by means of
- the throttle element can be constructed, for example, according to the principle of a diaphragm, wherein by means of the rotational movement, the diaphragm is open or closed.
- the flow cross-section between a maximum value and 90% of the maximum value can be varied.
- the throttle comprises two throttle elements, wherein the relative position of the throttle elements by means of the actuating means for Change in the flow cross section is changeable. This form of throttle is structurally simple to implement.
- a first throttle element is fixedly mounted and a second throttle element movable, in particular
- the throttle elements are circular and have circular segment-shaped openings. This allows a cost-effective and simple production of the throttle.
- the throttle elements are circular and have circular segment-shaped openings. This construction allows a
- stepless adjustment of the flow rate and is technically easy to implement.
- a cistern is further provided with a drain valve having an outlet, wherein the drain valve is connected to the outlet in the interior of the cistern.
- This cistern is suitable for use with a rimless toilet bowl, since the volume flow of the rinse water can be adjusted by means of the actuating element, which is easily accessible when the cistern is open.
- a mounting method for a cistern which comprises the following steps:
- Actuating means of the drain valve With this mounting method it is achieved that the adjustment of the flushing water volume flow can take place after the cistern and toilet bowl are completely assembled. Thus, the adjustment of the flow rate at any time after installation in a simple manner possible. It does not matter in which order the connection of the cistern, the installation of the drain valve in the cistern and the connection of drain valve and
- Adjustment of the volume flow for the correct rinsing operation of the toilet after complete assembly can be done.

- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a drain valve 1 according to a first exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- the drain valve 1 has a housing 11 which is connected via supports 12 to an end portion 13.
- the end portion 13 is tubular and has an external thread 13a, by means of which the drain valve 1 can be mounted in a cistern.
- End portion defines an outlet opening 15 of the drain valve 1, which is closed at its upper end by a seal 14.
- an overflow pipe 10 is provided, which is movably mounted along its longitudinal axis in the housing 11.
- the overflow tube 10 has at its lower end a projection which is connected to a seal 14. If the overflow pipe 10 is raised, the seal 14 is raised and the outlet opening 15 is opened. Water in the cistern flows between the supports 12 through the outlet opening 15 is the
- Fig. 1 further comprises an actuating means 20 which is designed as a rod which is guided through the overflow pipe 10 and protrudes out of this.
- the rod at the top of a knurl.
- Fig. 2 shows a section of the drain valve 1 of Fig. 1.
- the outlet port 15 has a diameter of 50 millimeters.
- a throttle 30 is arranged, which is in operative connection with the actuating element 20.
- FIG. 3a shows a perspective view of the lower end of the
- the end piece 20b is designed as a ring member which is connected to radial struts with the rod of the actuating element 20.
- the End piece 20b of the actuating element is connected to the throttle 30 in such a way, for example adhesively bonded, that a rotational movement of the actuating element 20 is transmitted via the end piece 20b to the throttle 30.
- Outflow valve 1 flows through the outlet opening 15, the flow cross section of the throttle 30, and thus the flow cross section of the outlet opening 15 is changed.
- the rod of the actuating element 20 is rotated on the knurl, and transmit the rotational movement of the actuating element 20 to the throttle 30 connected thereto. Since the rod of the actuating element 20 projects out of the overflow pipe 10, this adjustment of the volume flow is easily possible even in the finished assembled state of the toilet. in the
- FIGS. 3b and 3c An exemplary embodiment of the throttle 30 is shown schematically in FIGS. 3b and 3c.
- the throttle 30 is formed here from a throttle element 31, which consists of a diaphragm structure.
- the throttle element 31 is shown in three different positions in plan view, in FIG. 3c is a section through the throttling element 31 in these three positions.
- the figures show only the flow cross-section of the throttle element 31, not shown is the
- Actuator 20 is operatively connected. With the throttle element 31 from FIGS. 3b and 3c, the flow cross section of the throttle 30 can be reduced steplessly from a maximum value (left) to smaller values.
- Outer diameter of the throttle element 31 corresponds to the inner diameter of the outlet opening 15, so that the throttle 30 sits flush in the outlet opening 15.
- FIGS. 4a to 4c Another embodiment of the throttle 30 is shown in FIGS. 4a to 4c.
- the throttle 30 according to this embodiment comprises two throttle elements 32a and 32b which are substantially identical.
- FIG. 4a shows a plan view of one of the throttle elements 32a.
- the throttle element 32a has a circular shape and has passage openings in the form of circular segments.
- the throttle 30 according to this embodiment is formed of two throttle elements 32a, 32b, which lie on each other and are rotatable relative to each other.
- Fig. 4b shows a schematic view of the throttle 30 in an exploded view. When installed, the lower throttle element 32a is fixedly mounted in the outlet opening 15 and not rotatable. At the center of the upper throttle element 32b, the rod of the actuator 20 is mounted (not shown).
- Fig. 4c illustrates the operation of the throttle 30. If the
- Throttle elements 30a, 30b congruent to each other, is the
- Throttle element 32b is rotated against the lower throttle element 32a, the flow cross-section decreases, since the circular segment openings of the upper
- Throttle element 32b are partially hidden by the segment-shaped struts of the lower throttle element 32a. Thus, the volume flow of the rinse water can be infinitely reduced from a maximum value.
- Dimensions of the circular segment-shaped passage openings can be chosen so that the throttle 30 with congruent position of the throttle elements 32a, 32b a volume flow of 2.4 l / s and lets through with complete non-coverage of the segment-shaped struts a volume flow of 2.0 l / s ,
- the drain valve 1 is mounted in the outlet of a cistern (not shown). When installing a cistern with the drain valve 1, the complete installation of the toilet system can be performed, including the
- volumetric flow can be adjusted by means of the actuating element 20.
- the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments. In addition, various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention.
- the actuator 20 is designed as a rod with a knurl, which is guided in the overflow pipe 10. But it is also possible that the actuating element 20 is formed by the overflow pipe 10 itself.
- the overflow pipe 10 is then at its lower end in operative connection with the throttle 30, adjusting the volume flow can be done by rotation of the overflow pipe 10 about its longitudinal axis.
- Embodiment connected to the throttle 30 This connection can be realized for example by gluing the two elements.
- the throttle 30 may also be designed in one piece with the end piece 20b.
