Definitions

  • a sanitary fitting with the aforementioned features is off DE 202 09 799 U1 known, in which all LEDs of the display are activated in a normal state.
  • This has the disadvantage, on the one hand, that energy is used unnecessarily to operate the LEDs when there is no user near the sanitary fitting, and on the other hand, the approaching user does not know which fluid is being dispensed into the output area of the outlets after their hands have come closer will.
  • Further sanitary fittings according to the prior art are EP0679770A2 , DE202006019652U1 and DE202012104023U1 refer to.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the disadvantages described with reference to the prior art and, in particular, to provide a sanitary fitting which is more energy efficient and easier to operate.
  • a sanitary fitting according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 9.
  • Advantageous developments of the sanitary fitting and the method are specified in the dependent claims and in the description, individual features of the advantageous developments can be combined with one another in a technologically meaningful manner.
  • the object is achieved in particular by a sanitary fitting with the features mentioned at the beginning, in which the control is set up so that only one of the display elements is activated by detection of the user in the far range, the fluid displayed by the activated display element after detection of a hand of the user is output at close range.
  • the invention therefore provides, in particular, that in a normal state in which there is no user in the far range of the remote sensor, no optical display element at all lights up.
  • that display element is activated which displays the fluid to be dispensed.
  • this does not rule out that after the detection of the user in the remote area, several or all of the display elements are activated for a short welcome period in order to draw the user's attention to the display. After this welcome period at the latest, only that display element remains activated which shows the fluid to be dispensed.
  • the user is therefore immediately aware of which fluid is being dispensed when he puts his hands into the close range of the close-up sensor. On the one hand, energy for operating the display is saved and, on the other hand, the user is immediately aware at a glance which fluid is being dispensed.
  • the optical display is arranged in particular on a front end of the fitting body of the sanitary fitting.
  • the soap display element is activated, so that after a subsequent detection of the user's hands in the close area, soap is dispensed.
  • the duration of the soap dispensing and the dispensing of water is specified by the control, whereby the parameters stored in this regard on the control can be changed.
  • the water display element has, in particular, a symbol that indicates water and the soap display element has, in particular, a symbol that indicates soap. The user thus not only recognizes which fluid is being dispensed from the activation of the display elements, but also from the symbol attached to the activated display element.
  • the soap can be dispensed in the form of liquid soap or soap foam, for example. It can also be provided that water is also dispensed while the soap is being dispensed, so that more liquid is available for lathering the hands.
  • the display element assigned to the first fluid is deactivated after the fluid has been dispensed and the display element for the other fluid is activated.
  • the output of the other fluid can then be activated automatically for a predetermined period of time, for example after a preset time period after the end of the output of the first fluid. For example, soap is dispensed first and then water is dispensed for 30 seconds 10 seconds after the soap has been dispensed.
  • the display element indicating the other fluid is activated and the other fluid is not output until after the user's hands have been detected again in the vicinity.
  • the other fluid is only dispensed when the user's hands are in close proximity.
  • the display element indicating the other fluid immediately after the termination the output of the first fluid is activated and when the user's hands are immediately detected in the vicinity, the other fluid is output immediately after the output of the first fluid has ended.
  • the display elements are deactivated for a predetermined time after the end of the output of the first fluid and the display element displaying the other fluid is only activated after a predetermined period of time, for example of 5 or 10 seconds, so that the other fluid is only activated after this predetermined period of time and after detection of the user's hands in the vicinity is output. It can also be provided that the user's hands must first be moved out of the close range of the close range sensor before the user's hands can be detected again in the close range.
  • the fluid displayed by the controller does not necessarily have to be output via the display elements and the user can make a manual selection of the fluids
  • at least one display element is assigned a display element sensor which enables the user to manually select the display element assigned to it enables.
  • the corresponding display element is activated, the fluid assigned to the manually activated display element being output in the event of a subsequent detection of the user's hands in the vicinity.
  • the soap display element is first activated, then the user can activate the water display element by means of the display element sensor of the water display element, so that water is output first when the user's hands come closer to the close area.
  • Various sensors are known for the design of the display element sensor.
  • the display element sensor can be designed as a capacitive sensor or as an infrared reflection sensor.
  • the display element sensor is preferably arranged and aligned in such a way that the display element assigned to it lies in the effective range of the display element sensor.
  • the corresponding display element can also be activated without contact.
  • the optical display has fields for displaying the remaining duration of the current water dispensing and / or soap dispensing.
  • these fields can be arranged in a circular ring in a shape surrounding the water display element and the soap display element.
  • the fields go out as water continues to be dispensed in a clockwise direction.
  • the fields can also go out counterclockwise.
  • provision can also be made for more fields to be activated clockwise or counterclockwise as the water output continues.
  • the controller comprises a communication module, by means of which the controller can be set wirelessly.
  • parameters of the fluid dispensing such as the duration of the fluid dispensing, interruption of the fluid dispensing or the display element activated in the remote area after the detection of the user, can be set by a user, in particular with a mobile terminal. No physical connection of a programming unit to the sanitary fitting is necessary for the subsequent setting of the parameters.
  • the dispensing of fluid is interrupted when the hands are removed from the vicinity.
  • An independent invention independent of the device of the control is also seen in the fact that the water outlet is arranged in the horizontal direction, in particular at a distance of at least 25 mm or 30 mm next to the soap outlet.
  • the soap outlet is therefore not arranged above or below the water outlet but, from the user's point of view, to the left or right of the water outlet. It is thus easy for the user to see at which point on the sanitary fitting the water outlet and the soap outlet are arranged.
  • the water outlet and the soap outlet are preferably arranged, in particular in this embodiment, in such a way that the path of movement of the water dispensed and the path of movement of the soap dispensed intersect according to a respective free path, so that the user has a water path near the intersection of the paths of movement. Soap mixture can be provided, wherein contamination of the water outlet by the soap is avoided.
  • the soap outlet is realized by a hose, the dispensing end of which protrudes over the water outlet.
  • the hose is arranged in the sanitary fitting in such a way that it can be replaced. For example, every time the liquid soap container is changed, the hose is also changed so that a new hose is regularly used to improve hygiene.
  • the water outlet is arranged concentrically around the discharge end of the hose. The discharge end of the soap hose protrudes in the water flow direction or the soap flow direction over the water outlet, so that contamination of the water outlet with soap is prevented.
  • the output end protrudes at least 10 mm or even at least 20 mm above the water outlet.
  • At least one display element can be activated manually.
  • the display element indicating the other fluid is automatically activated and that the other fluid is not output until after the user's hands have been detected again in the vicinity. If there is no user in the remote area, the visual display is deactivated.
  • a first embodiment of a sanitary fitting 1 which has a soap outlet 3 and a water outlet 2, the water outlet 2 concentrically surrounding the soap outlet 3 and wherein Outlet openings for the water are arranged only above the soap outlet 3.
  • the soap outlet 3 is formed by an output area 13 of a hose 12 which is led through the fitting body from a soap container 14 to the water outlet 2.
  • the output area 13 of the hose 12 protrudes over the water outlet 3.
  • a solenoid valve 15 is arranged in the fitting body, which shuts off or releases the water dispensing.
  • the sanitary fitting 1 has an optical display 6 on the front side.
  • a near sensor 4 and a remote sensor 5 are arranged in a head area of the sanitary fitting.
  • the Figures 3 and 4 show a further embodiment of a sanitary fitting 1, whereby only the essential differences from the embodiment according to FIG Figures 1 and 2 is received.
  • the water outlet 2 is arranged in the horizontal direction next to the soap outlet 3, the near sensor 4 and the remote sensor 5 being arranged between the water outlet 2 and the soap outlet 3.
  • a display 6 is in turn arranged on the end face of the sanitary fitting 1.
  • FIG. 5 shows an exploded view of the on the end face of the sanitary fitting 1 according to Figures 1 and 2 arranged elements. It is indicated that a controller 7, which is connected to both the near sensor 4, the remote sensor 5, the solenoid valve 15 and the display 6, is arranged on a circuit board 19.
  • the display 6 comprises the circuit board 19 on which the display element sensors 10 and LEDs 16 are arranged.
  • a light guide 17 is arranged above the board.
  • a display body 18 is again arranged above the light guide 17.
  • the LEDs 16 can illuminate the display body 18 from below, the respective fields or elements of the display body 18 being perceptible to the user through a transparent cover.
  • the display elements 8, 9 of the display 6 are arranged so that they are in the effective range of the respective display element sensors 10 so that the illumination of the respective display elements 8, 9 can be activated manually.
  • the display body 18 has a water display element 8 with a teardrop-shaped symbol and a soap display element 9 with a hand washing symbol. Remaining permanent fields 11 are arranged around the water display element 8 and the soap display element 9.
  • the controller 7 of the sanitary fitting 1 arranged on the circuit board 19 is set up in such a way that the display 6 is not activated in an initial state. Only when a user is detected in the far range of the remote sensor 5 is the display 6 activated.
  • the display 6 is activated in such a way that after a greeting mode in which all LEDs light up, only one display element 8 or 9 is activated. This display element 8 or 9 shows whether water or soap is being dispensed upon further approach. If the user brings his hands into the vicinity of the proximity sensor 4, the fluid displayed by the display element 8 or 9 is output.
  • the soap display element 9 is first activated by the controller 7 after the user has been detected in the far range, the user can manually activate the water display element 8 by, for example, reaching with a finger into an effective area of the display element sensor 10 assigned to the water display element 8. During the subsequent detection of the hands in the close range, water would then be dispensed.
