Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit, die im Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur montierbar ist, mit einer Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit, die in zumindest einem ringförmigen Durchflusskanal wenigstens einen ringförmigen Drosselkörper aus elastischem Material aufweist, welcher wenigstens eine Drosselkörper zwischen sich und einer benachbarten, eine Regelprofilierung tragenden Kanalwandung einen Steuerspalt begrenzt, dessen Durchtrittsquerschnitt durch den sich unter der beim Durchströmen bildenden Druckdifferenz verformenden Drosselkörper veränderbar ist, sowie mit einem auf der Abströmseite der Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit angeordneten Strahlregler, der einen Strahlzerleger hat, welcher das von der Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit kommende Wasser in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufteilt.The invention relates to a sanitary insert unit, which can be mounted in the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, with a flow rate regulator unit which has at least one annular throttle body made of elastic material in at least one annular flow channel, which has at least one throttle body between itself and an adjacent one with a regular profile Channel wall delimits a control gap, the passage cross-section of which can be changed by the throttle body deforming under the pressure difference that forms when flowing through, as well as with a jet regulator which is arranged on the outflow side of the flow rate regulator unit and has a jet splitter which converts the water coming from the flow rate regulator unit into a Splits up a large number of individual beams.

Aus der DE 10 2015 003 246 A1 kennt man bereits eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art, die eine zuströmseitige Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit und einen abströmseitigen Strahlregler umfasst. Während die Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit die pro Zeiteinheit durchströmende Wassermenge auf einen festgelegten Maximalwert einzuregeln hat, wird das Wasser im Strahlregler zu einem homogenen, nicht-spritzenden und perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl geformt. Die Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit weist zwei ringförmige und konzentrisch zueinander angeordnete Durchflusskanäle auf, in denen jeweils ein ringförmiger Drosselkörper aus elastischem Material eingelegt ist. Die Drosselkörper umgrenzen zwischen sich und einer Regelprofilierung, die an einer benachbarten Kanalwandung des zugeordneten Durchflusskanals vorgesehen ist, jeweils einen Steuerspalt, dessen Durchtrittsquerschnitt durch den sich unter der beim Durchströmen bildenden Druckdifferenz verformenden Drosselkörper veränderbar ist. Der abströmseitig angeordnete Strahlregler weist einen Strahlzerleger auf, der als Diffusor ausgebildet ist und eine Prallfläche hat, welche das anströmende Wasser radial nach außen in Richtung zu einer Ringwandung umlenkt. In dieser Ringwandung sind, über den Wandungsumfang verteilt angeordnete Durchflusslöcher vorgesehen, durch die das umgelenkte Wasser in Einzelstrahlen aufgeteilt wird. Diese Durchflusslöcher münden in einem sich in Durchflussrichtung verengenden Ringspalt, auf dessen Abströmseite ein Unterdruck entsteht. Durch diesen Unterdruck kann Umgebungsluft in das Einsetzgehäuse der vorbekannten Einsetzeinheit eingesaugt werden, die dort auf der Abströmseite des als Strahlzerleger dienenden Diffusors mit dem durchströmenden Wasser vermischt wird.From the DE 10 2015 003 246 A1 One already knows a sanitary insert unit of the type mentioned at the beginning, which comprises an inflow-side flow rate regulator unit and an outflow-side jet regulator. While the flow rate regulator unit has to regulate the amount of water flowing through per unit of time to a specified maximum value, the water in the jet regulator is formed into a homogeneous, non-splashing and pearly-soft water jet. The flow rate regulator unit has two annular and concentrically arranged flow channels, in each of which an annular throttle body made of elastic material is inserted. The throttle bodies delimit a control gap between themselves and a control profile, which is provided on an adjacent channel wall of the associated flow channel, the passage cross-section of which can be changed by the throttle body deforming under the pressure difference that forms during the flow. The downstream side arranged jet regulator has a jet splitter, which is designed as a diffuser and has an impact surface which deflects the inflowing water radially outward in the direction of an annular wall. In this ring wall, there are provided through-flow holes distributed over the wall circumference, through which the deflected water is divided into individual jets. These flow-through holes open into an annular gap which narrows in the flow direction and on the outflow side of which a negative pressure is created. As a result of this negative pressure, ambient air can be sucked into the insert housing of the known insert unit, which air is mixed there with the water flowing through on the outflow side of the diffuser serving as a jet splitter.

Strahlregler mit einem als Diffusor ausgestalteten Strahlzerleger sind jedoch vor allem in einem bestimmten Anwendungsbereich, insbesondere bei geringen Wasserdrücken, vorteilhaft einsetzbar.Jet regulators with a jet splitter designed as a diffuser can, however, be used advantageously above all in a certain area of application, in particular with low water pressures.

Aus der DE 10 2013 004 076 A1 kennt man bereits eine ebenfalls aus zuströmseitigem Durchflussmengenregler und abströmseitig nachgeschaltetem Strahlregler bestehende sanitäre Einsetzeinheit. Der Strahlzerleger des in der vorbekannten Einsetzeinheit verwendeten Strahlreglers ist als Lochplatte ausgebildet, die eine zentrale lochfreie Prallfläche hat. Diese Prallfläche wird auf der zuströmseitigen Stirnfläche der Lochplatte von einer außenliegenden ersten Ringwandung umgrenzt, welche in radialer Richtung orientierte und sie durchsetzende Durchtrittsöffnungen aufweist, wobei auf der in der Prallflächenebene angeordneten Seite der Durchtrittsöffnungen jeweils ein mit den Durchtrittsöffnungen verbundenes Durchflussloch durch die Lochplatte vorgesehen ist. Die außenliegende erste Ringwandung ist außenumfangsseitig von einem ringförmigen Ringraum umschlossen. Koaxial und konzentrisch zu dieser außenliegenden ersten Ringwandung ist eine zu dieser beabstandete innenliegende zweite Ringwandung geringeren Durchmessers vorgesehen, die mit Abstand oberhalb der Prallfläche angeordnete radiale Durchtrittsöffnungen hat, durch welche das Wasser Zutritt zu der ersten Ringwandung und zu deren Durchtrittsöffnungen und damit zu den Durchflusslöchern des als Lochplatte ausgebildeten Strahlzerlegers hat. Der zuströmseitig vorgeschaltete Durchflussmengenregler der aus DE 10 2013 004 076 A1 vorbekannten sanitären Einsetzeinheit weist nur einen ringförmigen Durchflusskanal auf, dessen Projektion in Durchströmrichtung auf die lochfreie Prallfläche ausgerichtet ist. Durch diese Kombination soll die durch den Strahlregler fließende Wassermenge praktisch unabhängig von dem vor dem Strahlregler herrschenden Wasserdruck möglichst gut belüftet werden.From the DE 10 2013 004 076 A1 One already knows a sanitary insert unit which also consists of an inflow-side flow regulator and a downstream jet regulator. The jet splitter of the jet regulator used in the previously known insert unit is designed as a perforated plate which has a central, hole-free impact surface. This impact surface is delimited on the inflow end face of the perforated plate by an outer first ring wall which has radial orifices oriented in the radial direction and penetrating through them, with a flow hole through the perforated plate connected to the through openings being provided on the side of the through openings arranged in the plane of the impact surface. The outer first annular wall is enclosed on the outer circumference by an annular annular space. Coaxial and concentric to this external one In the first ring wall, an inner, second ring wall of smaller diameter is provided, which is spaced apart from this and has radial passage openings arranged at a distance above the impact surface, through which the water has access to the first ring wall and its passage openings and thus to the flow holes of the jet splitter designed as a perforated plate. The upstream flow rate regulator of the off DE 10 2013 004 076 A1 The previously known sanitary insert unit has only one annular flow channel, the projection of which is oriented in the flow direction onto the non-perforated impact surface. This combination is intended to ventilate the amount of water flowing through the jet regulator practically independently of the water pressure prevailing in front of the jet regulator.

Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die sich durch einen breiteren Einsatzbereich auszeichnet oder in anderen Anwendungsbereichen vorteilhaft eingesetzt werden kann, wobei sich die erfindungsgemäße Einsetzeinheit auch dadurch auszeichnen soll, dass in ihr ein möglichst homogener und nichtspritzender Wasserstrahl geformt werden kann.The object is therefore to create a sanitary insert unit of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is characterized by a broader range of application or can be used advantageously in other areas of application, the insert unit according to the invention also being characterized in that it is as homogeneous and non-spattering as possible Water jet can be shaped.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei der sanitären Einsetzeinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art insbesondere darin, dass in dem von der Projektion des zumindest einen Durchflusskanals umgrenzten Zentralbereich des Strahlzerlegers zumindest ein Durchflussloch vorgesehen ist, und dass die Durchflusslöcher des Strahlzerlegers einen Einström-Lochabschnitt und einen Ausström-Lochabschnitt haben.The inventive solution to this problem consists in the sanitary insert unit of the type mentioned in particular that in the central area of the jet splitter delimited by the projection of the at least one flow channel at least one flow hole is provided, and that the flow holes of the jet splitter have an inflow hole section and an outflow -Have hole section.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einsetzeinheit ist am Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur montierbar. Die Einsetzeinheit weist eine zuströmseitige Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit auf, auf deren Abströmseite ein Strahlregler vorgesehen ist. Während die Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit die pro Zeiteinheit durchströmende Wassermenge druckunabhängig auf einen festgelegten Maximalwert einzuregeln hat, soll der Strahlregler der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit das dort austretende Wasser zu einem homogenen, nicht-spritzenden und gegebenenfalls auch perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl formen.The insert unit according to the invention can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting. The insertion unit has an inflow-side flow rate regulator unit the downstream side of which is provided with a jet regulator. While the flow rate regulator unit has to regulate the amount of water flowing through per unit of time to a specified maximum value independent of pressure, the jet regulator of the insert unit according to the invention should shape the water exiting there into a homogeneous, non-splashing and possibly also pearly-soft water jet.

Die Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit weist zumindest einen ringförmigen Durchflusskanal auf, in dem ein ringförmiger Drosselkörper aus elastischem Material vorgesehen ist. Der in dem zumindest einen Durchflusskanal befindliche Drosselkörper begrenzt zwischen sich und einer benachbarten, eine Regelprofilierung aufweisenden Kanalwandung einen Steuerspalt, dessen Durchtrittsquerschnitt durch den sich unter der beim Durchströmen bildenden Druckdifferenz verformenden Drosselkörper veränderbar ist. Der auf der Abströmseite der Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit angeordnete Strahlregler hat einen Strahlzerleger, welcher das von der Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit kommende Wasser in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufteilt. In dem von der Projektion des zumindest einen Durchflusskanals umgrenzten Zentralbereich des Strahlzerlegers ist zumindest ein Durchflussloch vorgesehen. Da im Zentralbereich des Strahlzerlegers zumindest ein Durchflussloch vorgesehen ist, wird die Bildung eines im Strahlquerschnitt homogenen und nicht-spritzenden Auslaufstrahls im Strahlrelger der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit begünstigt. Dabei weisen die Durchflusslöcher des Strahlzerlegers einen einströmenden Loch-Abschnitt und einen ausströmenden Loch-Abschnitt auf. Die erfindungsgemäße Einsetzeinheit zeichnet sich durch eine auch über große und insbesondere höhere Druckbereiche vorteilhafte Funktionsweise aus.The flow rate regulator unit of the insert unit according to the invention has at least one annular flow channel in which an annular throttle body made of elastic material is provided. The throttle body located in the at least one flow channel delimits a control gap between itself and an adjacent channel wall having a regular profile, the passage cross section of which can be changed by the throttle body deforming under the pressure difference that forms during the flow. The jet regulator arranged on the downstream side of the flow rate regulator unit has a jet splitter which divides the water coming from the flow rate regulator unit into a large number of individual jets. At least one throughflow hole is provided in the central region of the jet splitter that is delimited by the projection of the at least one throughflow channel. Since at least one through-flow hole is provided in the central area of the jet splitter, the formation of an outlet jet which is homogeneous in terms of jet cross-section and which does not spray is promoted in the jet regulator of the insert unit according to the invention. The throughflow holes of the jet splitter have an inflowing hole section and an outflowing hole section. The insertion unit according to the invention is distinguished by a mode of operation that is advantageous even over large and, in particular, higher pressure ranges.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte und sich durch minimierte Leistungsabweichungen auszeichnende Ausführung gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit wenigstens zwei Durchflussmengenregler aufweist, deren Durchflusskanäle vorzugsweise etwa konzentrisch zueinander angeordnet sind.A particularly advantageous and minimized through An embodiment according to the invention which distinguishes performance deviations provides that the flow rate regulator unit has at least two flow rate regulators, the flow channels of which are preferably arranged approximately concentrically to one another.

Um die in Verlängerung zumindest eines der Durchflusskanäle vorgesehene lochfreie Ringzone im Strahlzerleger möglichst schmal halten zu können, und um in dem außerhalb der Durchflusskanäle liegenden Teilbereich des Strahlzerlegers möglichst viele Durchflusslöcher platzieren zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Durchflusskanäle zweier benachbarter Durchflussmengenregler durch eine Ringwandung voneinander getrennt sind, und wenn die Regelprofilierung dieser Durchflusskanäle auf der Innenseite und der Außenseite dieser Ringwandung vorgesehen sind.In order to be able to keep the hole-free ring zone in the jet splitter provided as an extension of at least one of the flow channels as narrow as possible, and in order to be able to place as many flow holes as possible in the partial area of the jet splitter located outside the flow channels, it is advantageous if the flow channels of two adjacent flow regulators are through an annular wall are separated from each other, and if the regular profiling of these flow channels are provided on the inside and the outside of this ring wall.

Die Bildung eines homogenen Auslaufstrahls im Strahlregler der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit wird begünstigt, wenn die außerhalb der Projektion des zumindest einen Durchflusskanals angeordneten Durchflusslöcher des Strahlzerlegers auf wenigstens einer Kreisbahn und vorzugsweise auf mindestens zwei Kreisbahnen angeordnet sind.The formation of a homogeneous outlet jet in the jet regulator of the insert unit according to the invention is promoted if the flow holes of the jet splitter arranged outside the projection of the at least one flow channel are arranged on at least one circular path and preferably on at least two circular paths.

Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführung gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass die die Durchflusslöcher aufweisenden Kreisbahnen konzentrisch zueinander und/oder zur Projektion des zumindest einen Durchflusskanals angeordnet sind.A preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the circular paths having the throughflow holes are arranged concentrically to one another and / or to the projection of the at least one throughflow channel.

In der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit wird ein als Lochplatte ausgebildeter Strahlzerleger bevorzugt, dessen Durchflusslöcher einen runden lichten Lochquerschnitt haben.In the insert unit according to the invention, a jet splitter designed as a perforated plate is preferred, the flow-through holes of which have a round clear hole cross-section.

Während der Einström-Lochabschnitt sich in Durchströmrichtung trichterförmig verjüngen kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Ausström-Abschnitt einen zylindrischen lichten Lochquerschnitt aufweist.While the inflow hole section can taper in a funnel shape in the flow direction, it is advantageous if the Outflow section has a cylindrical clear hole cross section.

Die funktionsgerechte Arbeitsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit und ihrer Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit wird begünstigt, wenn in dem einen kleineren Durchmesser aufweisenden Durchflusskanal ein Drosselkörper mit einem kleineren Querschnitt, insbesondere einer kleineren Schnurstärke, vorgesehen ist, im Vergleich zu dem in dem dazu außenliegenden, einen größeren Durchmesser aufweisenden Durchflusskanal befindlichen Drosselkörper.The functional mode of operation of the insert unit according to the invention and its flow rate regulator unit is favored if a throttle body with a smaller cross-section, in particular a smaller cord thickness, is provided in the flow channel having a smaller diameter, compared to the one in the outer, larger diameter Flow channel located Throttle body.

Das Einsetzgehäuse 2 ist in ein hülsenförmiges Auslaufmundstück einsetzbar, bis der Ringflansch 3 auf einem Ringabsatz am Innenumfang des hier nicht dargestellten Auslaufmundstücks anliegt.In the Figures 1 to 3 a sanitary insert unit 1 is shown, which can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting. The insert unit 1 has an insert housing 2 which, in its edge region on the inflow side, carries a radially protruding annular flange 3 on the circumferential side. The insert housing 2 can be inserted into a sleeve-shaped outlet mouthpiece until the annular flange 3 rests on an annular shoulder on the inner circumference of the outlet mouthpiece, not shown here.

Die Einsetzeinheit 1 weist eine Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit 4 auf, welche die pro Zeiteinheit durchströmende Wassermenge druckunabhängig auf einen festgelegten Maximalwert einregelt. In zumindest einem, im wesentlichen ringförmigen Durchflusskanal 5, 6 der Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit 4 ist ein ringförmiger Drosselkörper 7, 8 aus elastischem Material vorgesehen, welcher zwischen sich und einer benachbarten Kanalwandung, die eine Regelprofilierung 24 aus in Durchströmrichtung orientierten Ein- und Ausformungen 11, 12 trägt, einen Steuerspalt 13 begrenzt, dessen Durchtrittsquerschnitt durch den sich unter der beim Durchströmen bildenden Druckdifferenz verformenden Drosselkörper 7, 8 verändert. Je nach Wasserdruck formt der Drosselkörper in den jeweils einen Durchflussmengenregler bildenden Durchflusskanälen 5, 6 sich mehr oder weniger stark in die Regelprofilierung 24 und der lichte Steuerspalt 13 verändert sich entsprechend.The insertion unit 1 has a flow rate regulator unit 4 which regulates the amount of water flowing through per unit of time to a fixed maximum value, independently of pressure. In at least one, essentially ring-shaped flow channel 5, 6 of the flow rate regulator unit 4, an ring-shaped throttle body 7, 8 made of elastic material is provided, which between itself and an adjacent channel wall, which has a regular profile 24 made of recesses and protrusions 11, 12 carries, delimits a control gap 13, the passage cross-section of which is changed by the throttle body 7, 8, which is deformed under the pressure difference that forms during the flow. Depending on the water pressure, the throttle body in each of the flow channels 5, 6, which form a flow rate regulator, is shaped more or less strongly into the regular profiling 24 and the clear control gap 13 changes accordingly.

Die Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit 4 weist hier zwei konzentrische Durchflusskanäle 5, 6 auf, in denen jeweils ein elastischer Drosselkörper 7, 8 eingelegt ist. Dabei ist in dem, einen kleineren Durchmesser aufweisenden innenliegenden Durchflusskanal 5 ein Drosselkörper 7 vorgesehen, der im Vergleich zu dem im außenliegenden, einen größeren Durchmesser aufweisenden Durchflusskanal 6 befindlichen Drosselkörper 8 einen kleineren Materialquerschnitt, insbesondere eine kleinere Schnurstärke, hat, und deshalb leichter auch auf geringe Wasserdrücke und Wasserdruckänderungen reagiert.The flow rate regulator unit 4 here has two concentric flow channels 5, 6, in each of which an elastic throttle body 7, 8 is inserted. In this case, a throttle body 7 is provided in the inner flow channel 5, which has a smaller diameter, which, compared to the throttle body 8 located in the outer flow channel 6, which has a larger diameter, has a smaller material cross-section, in particular a smaller cord thickness, and is therefore also lighter reacts to low water pressures and changes in water pressure.

Auf der Abströmseite der Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit 4 ist ein Strahlregler 9 angeordnet, der das anströmende Wasser zu einem homogenen, nicht-spritzenden und gegebenenfalls perlend-weichen Wasserstrahl formen soll. Dieser Strahlregler 9 hat einen als Lochplatte ausgebildeten Strahlzerleger 10 mit einer Mehrzahl von Durchflusslöchern 29, welcher Strahlzerleger 10 das von der Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit 4 kommende Wasser im Einsetzgehäuse 2 zunächst in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufteilt.On the outflow side of the flow rate regulator unit 4, a jet regulator 9 is arranged, which is intended to shape the inflowing water into a homogeneous, non-splashing and possibly pearly-soft water jet. This jet regulator 9 has a jet splitter 10 designed as a perforated plate with a A plurality of flow holes 29, which jet splitter 10 initially divides the water coming from the flow rate regulator unit 4 in the insert housing 2 into a plurality of individual jets.

Damit das von der Durchflussmengenregler-Einheit 4 noch mit einer hohen Geschwindigkeit anströmende Wasser nicht direkt und ungebremst durch die Durchflusslöcher 29 im Strahlzerleger 10 fließt, ist die Projektion zumindest eines der Durchflusskanäle 5, 6 in einer lochfreien Ringzone 27 des Strahlzerlegers 10 angeordnet, das heißt in der axialen Verlängerung zumindest eines der Durchflusskanäle 5, 6 ist eine lochfreie Ringzone 27 des Strahlzerlegers 10 vorgesehen.So that the water flowing from the flow rate regulator unit 4 does not flow directly and unchecked through the flow holes 29 in the jet splitter 10, the projection of at least one of the flow channels 5, 6 is arranged in a hole-free ring zone 27 of the jet splitter 10, that is In the axial extension of at least one of the flow channels 5, 6, a hole-free annular zone 27 of the jet splitter 10 is provided.

In den Durchflusslöchern 29 der Lochplatte tritt das durchfließende Wasser mit einer erhöhten Geschwindigkeit aus, die auf der Abströmseite der Lochplatte einen Unterdruck bewirkt, welcher Unterdruck Umgebungsluft in das Gehäuseinnere des Einsetzgehäuses 2 saugt. Dazu sind in der Gehäusewandung des Einsetzgehäuses 2 in der direkt unterhalb des als Lochplatte ausgebildeten Strahlzerlegers 10 gelegenen Ringzone Belüftungsöffnungen 28 vorgesehen. Die vom Strahlzerleger 10 kommenden Einzelstrahlen werden im Gehäuseinneren des Einsetzgehäuses 2 - in der im Gehäuseinneren unterhalb dem Strahlzerleger 10 gelegenen Mischzone - mit der Umgebungsluft durchmischt. Um diese Durchmischung noch zusätzlich zu begünstigen und um das Wasser weiter abzubremsen, können im Einsetzgehäuse 2 Einsetzteile 14, 15 eingesetzt sein, die innerhalb einer außenliegenden Ringwand 16 eine Gitter- oder Netzstruktur aus einander an Kreuzungsknoten sich kreuzenden Stegen 17, 18 haben.In the through-flow holes 29 of the perforated plate, the water flowing through emerges at an increased speed, which causes a negative pressure on the outflow side of the perforated plate, which negative pressure sucks ambient air into the interior of the insert housing 2. For this purpose, ventilation openings 28 are provided in the housing wall of the insert housing 2 in the annular zone located directly below the jet splitter 10 designed as a perforated plate. The individual jets coming from the jet splitter 10 are mixed with the ambient air inside the housing of the insert housing 2 - in the mixing zone located inside the housing below the jet splitter 10. In order to further promote this mixing and to slow down the water further, insert parts 14, 15 can be used in the insert housing 2, which have a grid or net structure of webs 17, 18 crossing each other at intersections within an outer ring wall 16.

Dabei kreuzen sich hier konzentrische Stege 17 mit radialen Stegen 18 und bilden eine Netzstruktur aus, an der das Wasser noch weiter aufgeteilt und vermischt wird. An die Einsetzteile 14, 15 schließt sich abströmseitig ein Strömungsgleichrichter 19 mit Auslauföffnungen 20 an, welche Auslauföffnungen 20 eine vergleichsweise hohe Längserstreckung im Vergleich zum Lochquerschnitt haben. In den Auslauföffnungen 20 dieses Strömungsgleichrichters 19 wird das dort austretende Wasser zu einem homogenen Auslaufstrahl geformt. Dabei bildet der Strömungsgleichrichter 19 die auslaufseitige Stirnfläche der Einsetzeinheit 1. Auf der Abströmseite des Strömungsgleichrichters 19 ist eine Gehäuseeinschnürung 21 vorgesehen, die ein unerwünschtes Spritzen seitlich des austretenden Wasserstrahls verhindert.Here concentric webs 17 intersect with radial webs 18 and form a network structure on which the water is still further divided and mixed. A flow straightener 19 with outlet openings 20 adjoins the insert parts 14, 15 on the outflow side, which outlet openings 20 have a comparatively large longitudinal extension compared to the hole cross-section. In the outlet openings 20 of this flow straightener 19, the water exiting there is shaped into a homogeneous outlet jet. The flow straightener 19 forms the outlet-side end face of the insert unit 1. On the outflow side of the flow straightener 19, a housing constriction 21 is provided which prevents undesired splashing from the side of the exiting water jet.

Damit das Wasser nicht als instabiler Ringstrahl austritt und damit das austretende Wasser auch einen homogenen Strahlquerschnitt hat, ist in den von der Projektion des zumindest einen Durchflusskanals 5, 6 umgrenzten Zentralbereich 22 des Strahlzerlegers zumindest ein Durchflussloch 29 und - wie hier - vorzugsweise mehrere Durchflusslöcher 29 vorgesehen.So that the water does not emerge as an unstable ring jet and thus the emerging water also has a homogeneous jet cross-section, there is at least one flow hole 29 and - as here - preferably several flow holes 29 in the central area 22 of the jet splitter, which is delimited by the projection of the at least one flow channel 5, 6 intended.

Damit trotz der lochfreien Ringzone 12 noch eine ausreichende Anzahl von Durchflusslöchern 29 in der als Strahlzerleger 10 dienenden Lochplatte platziert werden können, sind die Durchflusskanäle 5, 6 durch eine Ringwandung 23 voneinander getrennt, wobei die Regelprofilierungen 24 der konzentrisch zueinander angeordneten Durchflusskanäle 5, 6 auf der Innenseite und der Außenseite dieser Ringwandung 23 vorgesehen sind. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die lochfreie Ringzone 27 vergleichsweise schmal ausgestalten.So that a sufficient number of throughflow holes 29 can still be placed in the perforated plate serving as jet splitter 10 despite the perforation-free annular zone 12, the throughflow channels 5, 6 are separated from one another by an annular wall 23, with the regular profiles 24 of the concentrically arranged throughflow channels 5, 6 the inside and the outside of this annular wall 23 are provided. In this way, the ring zone 27 free of holes can be configured to be comparatively narrow.

Die außerhalb der Projektion der Durchflusskanäle 5, 6 angeordneten Durchflusslöcher 29 des Strahlzerlegers 10 sind auf wenigstens einer Kreisbahn und - wie hier - vorzugsweise auf mindestens zwei Kreisbahnen angeordnet. Dabei sind die die Durchflusslöcher 29 aufweisenden Kreisbahnen konzentrisch zueinander und zur Projektion des zumindest einen Durchflusskanals 5, 6 angeordnet.The flow holes 29 of the jet splitter 10 arranged outside the projection of the flow channels 5, 6 are arranged on at least one circular path and - as here - preferably on at least two circular paths. These are the flow holes 29 having circular paths are arranged concentrically to one another and for the projection of the at least one flow channel 5, 6.

Wie insbesondere aus dem Längsschnitt in Figur 2 deutlich wird, weisen die Durchflusslöcher 29 in dem als Lochplatte ausgebildeten Strahlzerleger 10 einen Einström-Lochabschnitt 25 und einen Ausström-Lochabschnitt 26 auf. Während der Einström-Loch-abschnitt 25 sich in Durchströmrichtung trichterförmig verjüngt, hat der Ausström-Lochabschnitt 26 einen im Wesentlichen zylindrischen lichten Lochquerschnitt.As can be seen in particular from the longitudinal section in Figure 2 As is clear, the throughflow holes 29 in the jet splitter 10 designed as a perforated plate have an inflow hole section 25 and an outflow hole section 26. While the inflow hole section 25 tapers in a funnel shape in the flow direction, the outflow hole section 26 has an essentially cylindrical clear hole cross section.
