Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switching device for a sanitary fitting, having an inlet and at least two outlets each in fluid communication with the inlet, as well as a shower comprising such a switching device.
  • a shower with a switching device is for example off CN 204544502 U
  • the switching device comprises a rotatably mounted valve element which, in different rotational positions, releases a fluid connection between an inlet and a respective group of outlet openings and blocks the fluid connection to other outlet openings.
  • an operation of an actuating element must therefore be converted into a rotational movement of the valve element.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a switching device for a sanitary fitting, which is based on a different actuation mechanism.
  • the invention thus provides in its basic idea in particular that the linearly movably mounted closing elements can each be moved between their closed position and open position, that a survey of the switching element moves the respective closing element against its bias. Due to the arrangement of the survey on the switching element and by the arrangement of the switching element on the switching device can therefore be specified in which switching positions certain outlets are connected to the inlet and in which not. In each switching position, therefore, one or more outlets can be connected to the inlet.
  • the switching device has more than two outlets. Preferably, the switching device has exactly three or four outlets.
  • the closure elements are in their closed positions when they are in their biased position and out of engagement with a survey. But it can also be provided that at least one closing element is in contact with a survey and in a shifted against the bias position in the closed position.
  • the closing elements have a closing region which, in the closed position, blocks a flow opening between the inlet and the corresponding outlet. From this closing area is the extension, which is in at least one switching position of the switching element in contact with a survey.
  • the closing elements are preferably all mounted parallel to each other linearly movable. The closing elements thus all have the same closing direction.
  • exactly one switching element is preferably rotatable, pivotable or linearly movable.
  • the switching element can be brought in particular in such a number of different switching positions, which corresponds to the number of outlets, so that preferably in each switching position, the fluid connection is released from the inlet to exactly one outlet.
  • further switching positions may be provided, so that in at least one of these other switching positions, the fluid connection is released to two or more outlets.
  • the switching element has exactly one projecting survey. However, it can also be provided that a number of outlets corresponding number of elevations is formed on the switching element.
  • openings of the outlets are arranged in an outlet plane and all closing elements are arranged to be linearly movable in a closing plane, wherein the outlet plane and the closing plane are arranged offset parallel to one another.
  • the closing elements are arranged transversely to a flow direction in which the fluid exits through the openings of the outlets. In this way, a particularly flat design of the switching device can be achieved.
  • an inlet channel assigned to the inlet leads in each case to an outlet channel to each outlet, wherein one each formed in the transition region of the inlet chamber and the outlet channel Closing element seat is closed by the respective closing element in its closed position.
  • the closing elements are respectively guided with their extensions through the respective outlet channel and are led out of the outlet channel in a seal at the end of the outlet channel. From the common inlet chamber so go a plurality of outlet channels to the outlets, being released in the open position of the respective closing element of the closing element seat.
  • the closing element seat thus limits a flow in the outlet channel laterally. In the closed position, a closing region of the closing element is pressed onto the closing element seat in such a way that the flow cross section bounded by the closing element seat is closed.
  • bias voltage can be generated by suitable means, it is preferred that the bias voltage is generated by means of a spring which biases the closing element in the direction of the closing element seat.
  • the inlet chamber and the outlet channels are formed in a one-piece housing base body, which is closed on the one hand by a housing cover, which thus limits in particular the inlet chamber or the outlet channels, and on the other hand, the switching element is movably mounted.
  • the springs are supported on the housing cover.
  • a shower head with a shower head and a jet disc which has at least two separately controllable groups of outlet openings, and with a switching device according to the invention for switching between the two groups of outlet openings, wherein each outlet of the switching device has a group of the outlet openings assigned.
  • a switching device according to the invention for switching between the two groups of outlet openings, wherein each outlet of the switching device has a group of the outlet openings assigned.
  • Switching device 1 shown comprises a housing base 15 and one in the Figures 1 and 2 Housing cover 16, not shown.
  • a switching element 4 is mounted linearly displaceable. How out FIG. 4 shows, the switching element 4 has three protruding in the direction of the housing body 15 surveys 8.
  • the housing main body 15 has an inlet 2 and three outlets 3, wherein the openings 9 of the outlets 3 are arranged in a plane that is orthogonal to a plane of the inlet opening of the inlet 2.
  • 15 three outlet channels 11 are formed in the housing base body, each to an outlet 3 lead.
  • the housing base body 15 defines together with the housing cover 16 an inlet chamber 10, wherein in the transition region from the inlet chamber 10 into each outlet channel 11, a closing element seat 12 is formed.
  • the switching device 1 also includes for each outlet 3, a closing element 5.
  • each closing element 5 is mounted linearly movable in the switching device 1.
  • Each closing element 5 has a closing region 21 and an extension 7 extending from the closing region 21 through a respective passage 11.
  • the extension 7 occurs at the end of the outlet channel 11 through a seal 13 through the housing base body 15 in the direction of the switching element 4 addition.
  • Each closing element 5 is also linearly guided in the housing cover 16 and biased relative to the cover 16 by means of a spring 14. The closing elements 5 are thus mounted linearly movable in a closing direction 6.
  • the closing elements 5 are each biased by the springs 14 in their closed position.
  • Left and right arranged closing elements 5 are in their closed position, in which the closing portion 21, the sealing element 22 presses on the respective closing element seat 12. In this closed position, the fluid connection from the inlet 2 to the respective outlet 3 is blocked. It can be seen that the left and right arranged closing elements 5 in the in FIG. 4 shown switching position with their extensions 7 are not in contact with one of the elevations 8 of the switching element 4.
  • the switching device 1 is used in particular in a shower 17, which in FIG. 5 is shown.
  • the showerhead 17 has a jet disk 20 with a plurality of groups of outlet openings 19.
  • Each group of outlet openings 19 is connected in each case via a connecting channel 18 to an outlet 3 of the switching device 1.
  • a group of the outlet openings 19 is brought into fluid communication with the water supply connected to the inlet 2 of the switching device 1.
