- the jet images of the shower jets can, as is known to the person skilled in the art, differ, for example, in the main jet direction of the shower jet and / or in the degree of convergence or divergence of the shower jet.
- the main jet direction is, as usual, the direction in which the shower jet mainly spreads, even if it is composed, for example, of non-parallel individual jets and it is, for example, a converging shower jet in which the individual jets emerging from the jet outlet elements converge , or diverging shower jet, in which the individual jets run away from each other.
- this main jet direction runs parallel or at a small angle of usually not more than 20 ° to 25 °, in rare cases 25 ° to 45 ° obliquely to a normal direction or longitudinal direction of the jet disc or an exit-side end face thereof.
- the explicit specification of the first and second shower jet does not mean that the invention is limited to the provision of only two different shower jets. Rather, in corresponding designs, one or more further shower jets, each with different jet images, can be provided, in particular by supplying the fluid simultaneously to both fluid inlet openings of the respective jet outlet element in preferably variably variable proportions.
- this sanitary shower device comprises a fluid control device which is spatially separated from the shower body with a fluid outlet connection configuration and a user-operated fluid control unit for controlling a fluid supply for the fluid outlet connection configuration, and a fluid line configuration for fluid coupling of the fluid inlet configuration of the shower body to the fluid outlet connection configuration of the fluid control device.
- Fluid control devices of this type are conventionally e.g. in the form of thermostatic fittings in use, to which cold water and hot water are supplied on the inlet side via separate inlets and which provide the cold water and hot water supplied in a desired mixing ratio at a mixed water outlet connection as a fluid outlet connection configuration.
- the thermostat fitting as a user-operated fluid control unit usually has a quantity control unit and a thermostat or mixer unit.
- a rigid or flexible pipe / hose line serves as a fluid line configuration for fluid coupling of the fluid inlet configuration of the shower body to the mixed water outlet connection of the thermostatic fitting.
- this shower head comprises an outlet-side jet disk with a plurality of jet outlet elements and a fluid guide from the fluid inlet to the jet disk, the jet outlet elements each having a first and a second fluid inlet opening and being set up to supply fluid supplied via the first fluid inlet openings as a first shower jet with a first jet image and To deliver fluid supplied via the second fluid inlet openings as a second shower spray with a second spray pattern different from the first.
- the beam outlet elements are special there formed as V-shaped through-openings, which taper through the jet disc in the exit direction and each form the two fluid inlet openings on the inlet side and a fluid outlet opening common to the two fluid inlet openings on the outlet side.
- a control disk is rotatably arranged, which can be driven by the supplied fluid by means of a turbine vane structure and has a control slot pattern in order to open or shut off the fluid inlet openings of the jet outlet elements periodically.
- the control disk rotary movement can optionally be released or blocked in at least one blocking position, which corresponds to an associated spray pattern of the spray jet emitted.
- the disclosure US 2013/0186972 A1 discloses a shower head in which the jet outlet elements are formed by outlet nipples made of elastic material which are movably held in jet disk openings and to which a user-actuatable displacement element is assigned, by means of which the user can shift the outlet nipples and in this way set shower jets with a different jet pattern and in particular with a different main jet direction.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a sanitary shower device according to the preamble of
Eine solche Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung umfasst einen Brausekörper, der eine eintrittsseitige Fluideinlasskonfiguration, eine austrittsseitige Strahlscheibe mit mehreren Strahlaustrittselementen und eine Fluidführung von der Fluideinlasskonfiguration zur Strahlscheibe aufweist, wobei die Strahlaustrittselemente jeweils eine erste und eine zweite Fluideintrittsöffnung aufweisen und dafür eingerichtet sind, über die ersten Fluideintrittsöffnungen zugeführtes Fluid als einen ersten Brausestrahl mit einem ersten Strahlbild und über die zweiten Fluideintrittsöffnungen zugeführtes Fluid als einen zweiten Brausestrahl mit einem vom ersten Strahlbild verschiedenen zweiten Strahlbild abzugeben. In entsprechenden Ausführungen sind diese Strahlaustrittselemente über die gesamte fluidaustrittsaktive Fläche der Strahlscheibe hinweg verteilt angeordnet, vorzugsweise in einer gleichmäßigen Verteilung, und/oder die Strahlscheibe besitzt ausschließlich diese und keine anderen brausestrahlbildenden Strahlaustrittselemente. Der Abstand der beiden Fluideintrittsöffnungen jedes Strahlaustrittselements ist typischerweise geringer als der minimale Abstand je zweier Fluideintrittsöffnungen zweier nächst benachbarter Strahlaustrittselemente, vorzugsweise ist er höchstens halb oder ein Drittel so groß wie jener.Such a sanitary shower device comprises a shower head, which has an inlet-side fluid inlet configuration, an outlet-side jet disk with a plurality of jet outlet elements and a fluid guide from the fluid inlet configuration to the jet disk, wherein the jet outlet elements each have a first and a second fluid inlet opening and are set up for fluid supplied via the first fluid inlet openings to deliver as a first shower spray with a first spray pattern and fluid supplied via the second fluid inlet openings as a second spray spray with a second spray pattern different from the first spray pattern. In corresponding designs, these jet outlet elements are arranged distributed over the entire fluid exit active surface of the jet disk, preferably in a uniform distribution, and / or the jet disk has only these and no other shower jet-forming jet outlet elements. The distance between the two fluid inlet openings of each jet outlet element is typically less than the minimum distance between two fluid inlet openings of two neighboring jet outlet elements, preferably it is at most half or a third as large as that.
Die Strahlbilder der Brausestrahlen können sich, wie dem Fachmann geläufig, z.B. in der Hauptstrahlrichtung des Brausestrahls und/oder im Grad der Konvergenz oder Divergenz des Brausestrahls unterscheiden. Unter Hauptstrahlrichtung ist hierbei, wie üblich, diejenige Richtung zu verstehen, in die sich der Brausestrahl hauptsächlich ausbreitet, auch wenn er sich z.B. aus nicht-parallelen Einzelstrahlen zusammensetzt und er dabei z.B. einen konvergierenden Brausestrahl, bei dem die aus den Strahlaustrittselementen austretenden Einzelstrahlen aufeinander zulaufen, oder divergierenden Brausestrahl bildet, bei dem die Einzelstrahlen voneinander weglaufen. Typischerweise verläuft diese Hauptstrahlrichtung parallel oder unter einem kleinen Winkel von meist nicht mehr als 20° bis 25°, in selteneren Fällen 25° bis 45° schräg zu einer Normalenrichtung bzw. Längsrichtung der Strahlscheibe bzw. einer austrittsseitigen Abschlussfläche derselben. Es versteht sich, dass die explizite Angabe des ersten und zweiten Brausestrahls nicht bedeutet, dass die Erfindung auf die Bereitstellung nur zweier verschiedener Brausestrahlen beschränkt ist. Vielmehr können in entsprechenden Ausführungen ein oder mehrere weitere Brausestrahlen mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Strahlbildern bereitgestellt werden, insbesondere durch Zuführung des Fluides gleichzeitig zu beiden Fluideintrittsöffnungen des jeweiligen Strahlaustrittselements in vorzugsweise variabel veränderbaren Anteilen.The jet images of the shower jets can, as is known to the person skilled in the art, differ, for example, in the main jet direction of the shower jet and / or in the degree of convergence or divergence of the shower jet. The main jet direction is, as usual, the direction in which the shower jet mainly spreads, even if it is composed, for example, of non-parallel individual jets and it is, for example, a converging shower jet in which the individual jets emerging from the jet outlet elements converge , or diverging shower jet, in which the individual jets run away from each other. Typically, this main jet direction runs parallel or at a small angle of usually not more than 20 ° to 25 °, in
Des Weiteren umfasst diese Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung eine vom Brausekörper räumlich getrennt angeordnete Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung mit einer Fluidauslassanschlusskonfiguration und einer nutzerbetätigten Fluidsteuereinheit zur Steuerung einer Fluidzufuhr zur Fluidauslassanschlusskonfiguration sowie eine Fluidleitungskonfiguration zur Fluidankopplung der Fluideinlasskonfiguration des Brausekörpers an die Fluidauslassanschlusskonfiguration der Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung. Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtungen dieser Art sind herkömmlich z.B. in Form von Thermostatarmaturen in Gebrauch, denen einlassseitig über getrennte Einlässe Kaltwasser und Warmwasser zugeführt werden und die an einem Mischwasserauslassanschluss als Fluidauslassanschlusskonfiguration das zugeführte Kaltwasser und Warmwasser in einem gewünschten Mischungsverhältnis bereitstellen. Dazu weist die Thermostatarmatur als nutzerbetätigte Fluidsteuereinheit üblicherweise eine Mengensteuereinheit und eine Thermostat- bzw. Mischereinheit auf. Eine starre oder flexible Rohr-/Schlauchleitung dient bei diesen herkömmlichen Ausführungen als Fluidleitungskonfiguration zur Fluidankopplung der Fluideinlasskonfiguration des Brausekörpers an den Mischwasserauslassanschluss der Thermostatarmatur.Furthermore, this sanitary shower device comprises a fluid control device which is spatially separated from the shower body with a fluid outlet connection configuration and a user-operated fluid control unit for controlling a fluid supply for the fluid outlet connection configuration, and a fluid line configuration for fluid coupling of the fluid inlet configuration of the shower body to the fluid outlet connection configuration of the fluid control device. Fluid control devices of this type are conventionally e.g. in the form of thermostatic fittings in use, to which cold water and hot water are supplied on the inlet side via separate inlets and which provide the cold water and hot water supplied in a desired mixing ratio at a mixed water outlet connection as a fluid outlet connection configuration. For this purpose, the thermostat fitting as a user-operated fluid control unit usually has a quantity control unit and a thermostat or mixer unit. In these conventional designs, a rigid or flexible pipe / hose line serves as a fluid line configuration for fluid coupling of the fluid inlet configuration of the shower body to the mixed water outlet connection of the thermostatic fitting.

Die Offenlegungsschrift
Der Erfindung liegt als technisches Problem die Bereitstellung einer Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zugrunde, mit der sich die unterschiedlichen Brausestrahlen in einer verglichen mit dem oben erläuterten Stand der Technik besonders komfortablen Weise bereitstellen bzw. vom Benutzer auswählen/einstellen lassen.The invention is based on the technical problem of providing a sanitary shower device of the type mentioned at the outset, with which the different shower jets can be provided in a manner which is particularly comfortable compared to the prior art explained above, or can be selected / set by the user.
Die Erfindung löst dieses Problem durch die Bereitstellung einer Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by providing a sanitary shower device with the features of
Bei dieser Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung umfasst die Fluideinlasskonfiguration des Brausekörpers einen ersten Brausekörpereinlass und einen vom ersten getrennten zweiten Brausekörpereinlass. Die Fluidführung im Brausekörper beinhaltet zwei getrennte Fluidströmungswege, von denen ein erster Fluidströmungsweg die ersten Fluideintrittsöffnungen der Strahlaustrittselemente mit dem ersten Brausekörpereinlass verbindet und ein zweiter Fluidströmungsweg die zweiten Fluideintrittsöffnungen der Strahlaustrittselemente mit dem zweiten Brausekörpereinlass verbindet. Die Fluidauslassanschlusskonfiguration der Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung umfasst einen ersten Auslassanschluss und einen vom ersten getrennten zweiten Auslassanschluss. Die Fluidleitungskonfiguration umfasst eine erste Fluidleitung vom ersten Auslassanschluss der Fluidauslassanschlusskonfiguration zum ersten Brausekörpereinlass und eine zweite Fluidleitung vom zweiten Auslassanschluss der Fluidauslassanschlusskonfiguration zum zweiten Brausekörpereinlass. Die Fluidsteuereinheit weist ein nutzerbetätigtes Verteilerelement zur variablen Weiterleitung von zugeführtem Fluid zum ersten Auslassanschluss und/oder zum zweiten Auslassanschluss der Fluidauslassanschlusskonfiguration der Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung auf.In this sanitary shower device, the fluid inlet configuration of the shower body comprises a first shower body inlet and a second shower body inlet separated from the first. The fluid guide in the shower head contains two separate fluid flow paths, of which a first fluid flow path connects the first fluid inlet openings of the jet outlet elements to the first shower body inlet and a second fluid flow path connects the second fluid inlet openings of the jet outlet elements to the second shower body inlet. The fluid outlet port configuration of the fluid control device includes a first outlet port and a second outlet port separate from the first. The fluid line configuration includes a first fluid line from the first outlet port of the fluid outlet port configuration to the first shower body inlet and a second fluid line from the second outlet port of the fluid outlet port configuration to the second shower body inlet. The fluid control unit has a user-operated distributor element for the variable forwarding of supplied fluid to the first outlet connection and / or to the second outlet connection of the fluid outlet connection configuration of the fluid control device.
Die solchermaßen ausgeführte Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung ermöglicht es dem Benutzer, wahlweise den ersten Brausestrahl oder den zweiten Brausestrahl dadurch auszuwählen, dass er durch Betätigen des Verteilerelements der Fluidsteuereinheit an der Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung das zugeführte Fluid zum ersten und/oder zum zweiten Auslassanschluss der Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung weiterleitet. Folglich genügt es für die Umstellung zwischen den Brausestrahlen, dass für den Benutzer das Verteilerelement der Fluidsteuereinheit an der vom Brausekörper räumlich getrennt angeordneten Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung zugänglich ist. Ein Zugriff des Benutzers auf den Brausekörper selbst ist hingegen nicht erforderlich.The sanitary shower device designed in this way enables the user to select either the first shower jet or the second shower jet by forwarding the supplied fluid to the first and / or to the second outlet connection of the fluid control device by actuating the distributor element of the fluid control unit on the fluid control device. It is therefore sufficient for the changeover between the shower jets that the distributor element of the fluid control unit is accessible to the fluid control device which is spatially separated from the shower body. Access by the user to the shower head itself is not necessary.
Dies hat beispielsweise den Vorteil, dass der Benutzer die Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung zwischen den verschiedenen Brausestrahlen auch dann umsteuern kann, wenn der Brausekörper für ihn nicht zugänglich oder jedenfalls nicht ohne weiteres erreichbar ist. Dies kann z.B. bei deckenmontierten Kopfbrausen in hohen Duschräumen der Fall sein, wenn sich dort der Brausekörper bzw. Brausekopf in einer für den Benutzer nicht ohne Hilfsmittel erreichbaren Höhe befindet. Hingegen ist in derartigen Duschräumen im Griffbereich des Benutzers üblicherweise ohnehin bereits eine Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung zum Beispiel in Form einer Thermostatarmatur oder einer Mischer- und/oder Absperrarmatur vorgesehen, die dann problemlos zu der für die erfindungsgemäße Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung benötigten Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung umgerüstet bzw. ausgerüstet werden kann. Alternativ kann die Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung für die erfindungsgemäße Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung mit dem nutzerbetätigten Verteilerelement zur variablen Weiterleitung von zugeführtem Fluid zum ersten und/oder zum zweiten Auslassanschluss und mit der entsprechenden Fluidauslassanschlusskonfiguration als eigenständige Komponente der Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung in einem geeigneten Zugriffsbereich für den Benutzer angeordnet sein.This has the advantage, for example, that the user can switch the sanitary shower device between the different shower jets even if the shower body is not accessible to him or at least not easily accessible. This can be the case, for example, with ceiling-mounted overhead showers in high shower rooms when the shower head or shower head is at a height that the user cannot reach without aids. On the other hand, in such shower rooms, a fluid control device, for example in the form of a thermostatic fitting or a mixer and / or shut-off fitting, is usually already provided in the handle area of the user, which can then be easily converted or equipped to the fluid control device required for the sanitary shower device according to the invention. Alternatively, the fluid control device for the sanitary shower device according to the invention with the user-operated distributor element for the variable forwarding of supplied fluid to the first and / or to the second outlet connection and with the corresponding fluid outlet connection configuration as an independent one Component of the sanitary shower device can be arranged in a suitable access area for the user.
Es versteht sich, dass sich für das nutzerbetätigte Verteilerelement eine beliebige der hierfür dem Fachmann an sich bekannten Bauarten eignet, wobei die Nutzerbetätigung ebenfalls beliebiger herkömmlicher Art sein kann, z.B. eine mechanische Betätigung, eine Berührbetätigung, eine elektrische oder eine elektronische Ansteuerbetätigung, einschließlich der Möglichkeit einer ferngesteuerten Betätigung, bei der die Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung selbst nicht zwingend im Griffbereich bzw. Zugänglichkeitsbereich des Benutzers positioniert sein braucht.It goes without saying that any of the designs known per se to the person skilled in the art are suitable for the user-operated distributor element, the user operation also being of any conventional type, e.g. a mechanical actuation, a touch actuation, an electrical or an electronic actuation actuation, including the possibility of remote actuation, in which the fluid control device itself does not necessarily have to be positioned in the grip area or access area of the user.
Wenn der Benutzer das der Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung zugeführte Fluid mittels des Verteilerelements nur zum ersten Auslassanschluss weiterleitet, gibt der Brausekörper den ersten Brausestrahl ab. Wenn der Benutzer über das Verteilerelement das Fluid nur zum zweiten Auslassanschluss weiterleitet, gibt der Brausekörper den zweiten Brausestrahl ab. In entsprechenden Ausführungen ermöglicht das Verteilerelement eine Weiterleitung des zugeführten Fluids in vorzugsweise steuerbaren Anteilen sowohl zum ersten als auch zum zweiten Auslassanschluss der Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung. Für diesen Fall kann der Brausekörper auf Wunsch so konfiguriert sein, dass er einen durch eine Überlagerung bzw. Wechselwirkung des der ersten Fluideintrittsöffnung des jeweiligen Strahlaustrittselements zugeführten Fluids mit dem der zweiten Fluideintrittsöffnung zugeführten Fluid gebildeten Brausestrahl abgibt, vorliegend als Kombi-Brausestrahl bezeichnet. Beispielsweise kann der Brausekörper den Kombi-Brausestrahl mit einem Konvergenz-/Divergenzgrad oder einer Hauptstrahlrichtung abgeben, der/die zwischen dem Konvergenz-/Divergenzgrad bzw. der Hauptstrahlrichtung des ersten Brausestrahls und dem Konvergenz-/Divergenzgrad bzw. der zweiten Hauptstrahlrichtung des zweiten Brausestrahls liegt, wobei zudem der jeweilige Konvergenz-/Divergenzgrad bzw. die jeweilige Hauptstrahlrichtung des Kombi-Brausestrahls davon abhängig sein kann, zu welchen Anteilen der Benutzer das Fluid mittels des Verteilerelements zum ersten bzw. zum zweiten Auslassanschluss der Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung und somit zu den ersten bzw. zweiten Fluideintrittsöffnungen der Strahlaustrittselemente des Brausekörpers weiterleitet.If the user only forwards the fluid supplied to the fluid control device by means of the distributor element to the first outlet connection, the shower head emits the first shower jet. If the user only transfers the fluid to the second outlet connection via the distributor element, the shower body emits the second shower jet. In corresponding designs, the distributor element enables the supplied fluid to be passed on in preferably controllable proportions both to the first and to the second outlet connection of the fluid control device. In this case, the shower body can, if desired, be configured such that it emits a shower jet formed by a superimposition or interaction of the fluid supplied to the first fluid inlet opening of the respective jet outlet element with the fluid supplied to the second fluid inlet opening, in the present case referred to as a combination shower jet. For example, the shower head can emit the combination shower jet with a degree of convergence / divergence or a main jet direction that lies between the degree of convergence / divergence or the main jet direction of the first shower jet and the degree of convergence / divergence or the second main jet direction of the second shower jet , in addition, the respective degree of convergence / divergence or the respective main jet direction of the combination shower jet may depend on the proportions of the user by means of the distributor element to the first or second outlet connection of the fluid control device and thus to the first or second Forwards fluid inlet openings of the jet outlet elements of the shower body.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das nutzerbetätigte Verteilerelement ein 3-Wege-Verteilventilelement. Derartige Ventilelemente, auch 2-Kanal-Volumenregler genannt, sind an sich bekannt, was daher hier keiner näheren Erläuterungen bedarf, und eignen sich vorteilhaft dazu, ein über einen Eingangskanal zugeführtes Fluid in vorzugsweise steuerbar variablen Anteilen auf zwei getrennte Ausgangskanäle zu verteilen.In a further development of the invention, the user-operated distributor element is a 3-way distributor valve element. Valve elements of this type, also known as 2-channel volume controllers, are known per se, which therefore requires no further explanation here, and are advantageously suitable for distributing a fluid supplied via an input channel in preferably controllably variable proportions over two separate output channels.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Brausekörper ein zur Montage an einer Wand oder Decke eines Duschraums eingerichteter Kopfbrausekörper. Damit eignet sich die Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung als Kopfbrause in einem Duschraum.In a further development of the invention, the shower head is a head shower head set up for mounting on a wall or ceiling of a shower room. This makes the sanitary shower device suitable as an overhead shower in a shower room.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung umfasst die Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung eine Mischer- und/oder Absperrarmatur, und die Fluidsteuereinheit weist entsprechend eine Misch- und/oder Absperrventileinheit auf. Derartige Mischer- und/oder Absperrarmaturen bzw. Misch- und/oder Absperrventileinheiten sind an sich bekannt und sind bei dieser Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung vorteilhaft mit dem nutzerbetätigten Verteilerelement zur variablen Weiterleitung von zugeführtem Fluid zum ersten und/oder zum zweiten Auslassanschluss der Fluidsteuerungsvorrichtung kombiniert.In a development of the invention, the fluid control device comprises a mixer and / or shut-off valve, and the fluid control unit accordingly has a mixing and / or shut-off valve unit. Such mixer and / or shut-off fittings or mixing and / or shut-off valve units are known per se and are advantageously combined in this sanitary shower device with the user-operated distributor element for the variable forwarding of supplied fluid to the first and / or second outlet connection of the fluid control device.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Strahlaustrittselemente als V-förmige Durchgangsöffnungen ausgebildet, die sich in Austrittsrichtung konisch verjüngend durch die Strahlscheibe hindurch erstrecken und jeweils eintrittsseitig die beiden Fluideintrittsöffnungen und austrittsseitig eine den beiden Fluideintrittsöffnungen gemeinsame Fluidaustrittsöffnung bilden. Dies stellt eine fertigungstechnisch und funktionell vorteilhafte Realisierung der Strahlaustrittselemente der Strahlscheibe dar. Die gegeneinander geneigten Flanken der V-Form der Durchgangsöffnungen können hierbei als Leitflächen dienen, um den Brausestrahl jeweils mit einer entsprechenden Hauptstrahlrichtung abzugeben. Zudem ermöglicht diese Konfiguration der Strahlaustrittselemente bei Bedarf auch die Erzeugung eines Kombi-Brausestrahls, in dem sich die über die erste bzw. die zweite Fluideintrittsöffnung in das Strahlaustrittselement gelangenden Fluidanteile in ihren durch die V-Flanken definierten Strömungsrichtungen überlagern bzw. wechselwirken. In alternativen Ausführungen beinhaltet das jeweilige Strahlaustrittselement zwei getrennte Fluidaustrittsöffnungen, von denen jede mit je einer der beiden Fluideintrittsöffnungen unter Bildung zweier separater, eng benachbarter Durchgangsöffnungen korrespondiert, wobei die Durchgangsöffnungen z.B. als separate Bohrungen in der Strahlscheibe gebildet sein können und vorzugsweise gegeneinander geneigt, d.h. schräg zueinander, verlaufen.In a further development of the invention, the jet outlet elements are designed as V-shaped through openings, which taper through the jet disc in the exit direction and each form the two fluid inlet openings on the inlet side and a fluid outlet opening common to the two fluid inlet openings on the outlet side. This represents a production-technically and functionally advantageous realization of the jet outlet elements of the jet disc. The mutually inclined flanks of the V-shape of the through openings can serve as guiding surfaces in order to emit the shower jet with a corresponding main jet direction. In addition, this configuration of the jet outlet elements also makes it possible, if required, to generate a combination shower jet in which the fluid components entering the jet outlet element via the first or second fluid inlet opening overlap or interact in their flow directions defined by the V flanks. In alternative embodiments, the respective jet outlet element contains two separate fluid outlet openings, each of which has one of the two fluid inlet openings, forming two separate, closely adjacent through openings corresponds, wherein the through openings can be formed, for example, as separate bores in the jet disk and preferably run at an angle to one another, ie at an angle to one another.
In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung beinhaltet die Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung eine der Strahlscheibe in Austrittsrichtung vorgelagerte Zwischenplatte, die zu den V-förmigen Durchgangsöffnungen der Strahlaustrittselemente korrespondierende, V-förmige Vorsprünge aufweist, die sich unter Belassung eines jeweiligen Fluidkanals von den beiden Fluideintrittsöffnungen zur Fluidaustrittsöffnung in die V-förmigen Durchgangsöffnungen hinein erstrecken. Dies stellt eine fertigungstechnisch und funktionell vorteilhafte Realisierung für die beiden Fluideintrittsöffnungen und die gemeinsame Fluidaustrittsöffnung des jeweiligen Strahlaustrittselements sowie für die Fluidführung im Strahlaustrittselement von den beiden Fluideintrittsöffnungen zur gemeinsamen Fluidaustrittsöffnung dar.In one embodiment of the invention, the sanitary shower device contains an intermediate plate upstream of the jet disc in the exit direction, which has V-shaped projections corresponding to the V-shaped through openings of the jet outlet elements, which protrude from the two fluid inlet openings to the fluid outlet opening into the V- extend through openings. This represents a production-technically and functionally advantageous realization for the two fluid inlet openings and the common fluid outlet opening of the respective jet outlet element and for the fluid guidance in the jet outlet element from the two fluid inlet openings to the common fluid outlet opening.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung beinhaltet die Sanitärbrauseeinrichtung eine der Strahlscheibe in Austrittsrichtung vorgelagerte Kammerplatte, die mit einer Plattenseite eine erste Fluidkammer als Teil des ersten Fluidströmungswegs begrenzt und in deren Innerem eine zweite Fluidkammer als Teil des zweiten Fluidströmungswegs ausgebildet ist, wobei die Kammerplatte Verbindungskanäle aufweist, welche von der zweiten Fluidkammer zu den zweiten Fluideintrittsöffnungen führen. Dies stellt eine fertigungstechnisch und funktionell vorteilhafte Realisierung für die Fluidführung im Brausekörper von der Fluideinlasskonfiguration zur Strahlscheibe dar und insbesondere für die zwei getrennten Fluidströmungswege im Brausekörper vom ersten Brausekörpereinlass zu den ersten Fluideintrittsöffnungen bzw. vom zweiten Brausekörpereinlass zu den zweiten Fluideintrittsöffnungen. Zudem ermöglicht dieser konstruktive Aufbau der Fluidführung im Brausekörper bei Bedarf eine vergleichsweise kompakte Bauform des Brausekörpers.In a further development of the invention, the sanitary shower device includes a chamber plate upstream of the jet disc, which with one plate side delimits a first fluid chamber as part of the first fluid flow path and inside which a second fluid chamber is formed as part of the second fluid flow path, the chamber plate having connecting channels, which lead from the second fluid chamber to the second fluid inlet openings. This represents a production-technically and functionally advantageous realization for the fluid guidance in the shower body from the fluid inlet configuration to the spray disc and in particular for the two separate fluid flow paths in the shower body from the first shower body inlet to the first fluid inlet openings or from the second shower body inlet to the second fluid inlet openings. In addition, this structural design of the fluid guide in the shower body enables a comparatively compact design of the shower body if required.
In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Plattenseite, welche die erste Fluidkammer begrenzt, eine der Strahlscheibe abgewandte Plattenseite der Kammerplatte, und die Kammerplatte weist Durchgangskanäle auf, die von der ersten Fluidkammer durch die Kammerplatte hindurch zu den ersten Fluideintrittsöffnungen führen. Auch diese konstruktionstechnische Maßnahme ist fertigungstechnisch und funktionell sowie hinsichtlich Erzielung einer kompakten Bauform von Vorteil.In one embodiment of the invention, the plate side, which delimits the first fluid chamber, is a plate side of the chamber plate facing away from the jet disk, and the chamber plate has through-channels which lead from the first fluid chamber through the chamber plate to the first fluid inlet openings. This design-technical measure is also advantageous in terms of production technology and function, as well as in terms of achieving a compact design.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die Fluideinlasskonfiguration auf einer der Strahlscheibe abgewandten Außenseite des Brausekörpers angeordnet. Dies kann insbesondere strömungstechnisch von Vorteil sein, da sich damit bei Bedarf größere Fluidumlenkungen im Brausekörper vermeiden lassen.In a further development of the invention, the fluid inlet configuration is arranged on an outside of the shower body facing away from the spray disc. This can be particularly advantageous in terms of flow technology, since it can be used to avoid larger fluid deflections in the shower head if necessary.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind der erste und der zweite Brausekörpereinlass koaxial angeordnet, wobei der eine Brausekörpereinlass den anderen Brausekörpereinlass koaxial umgibt. Diese Realisierung der eintrittsseitigen Fluideinlasskonfiguration des Brausekörpers kann bei Bedarf eine korrespondierend koaxiale Ausführung der vorgelagerten Fluidleitungskonfiguration ebenso wie eine kompakte Bauform des Brausekörpers begünstigen.In a further development of the invention, the first and the second shower body inlet are arranged coaxially, one shower body inlet coaxially surrounding the other shower body inlet. This realization of the inlet-side fluid inlet configuration of the shower body can, if necessary, favor a correspondingly coaxial design of the upstream fluid line configuration as well as a compact design of the shower body.
