Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a securing element for securing lines on a sanitary fitting with a ring element and a radial slot formed in the ring element, which is designed such that the ring element can be spread open in the circumferential direction.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to improve the securing of lines, for example in sanitary fittings.
  • a securing element is proposed for securing lines on a sanitary fitting.
  • the lines can be, for example, the water lines leading into the sanitary fitting, which can be secured in and / or on the sanitary fitting by the securing element.
  • the lines can be, for example, hoses and / or pipes.
  • the securing element has a ring element that can be inserted into a groove arranged in the line to secure the line, the ring element also being able to rest against a housing of the sanitary fitting, for example, so that the line is fixed and thus secured.
  • the ring element can thereby prevent the line from slipping out of the sanitary fitting, for example.
  • the groove does not have to be arranged in the line.
  • An intermediate piece, which at least partially has the groove, can also be arranged on the line.
  • the ring element has a radial slot which is designed such that the ring element can be spread open in the circumferential direction. By spreading the ring element or the securing element can be pushed over the line and inserted into the said groove in the line. At least the ring element can be formed from a spring material, so that the ring element, when it is in the groove, contracts again and thus presses itself into the groove.
  • the securing element can thus be a securing ring, a securing clip and / or a securing sleeve.
  • Said groove of the line can also be arranged in an intermediate piece which is arranged at one end of the line.
  • the securing element has a securing arrangement which extends away from the ring element in the axial direction of the securing element.
  • the line or the intermediate piece can be inserted into the fuse arrangement so that the fuse arrangement is arranged radially on the outside of the line.
  • the fuse arrangement can also extend at least partially around the line and / or the intermediate piece. If the line with the securing element is mounted in the sanitary fitting, at least the securing arrangement can at least partially be inserted into a housing bore of the sanitary fitting. The fuse arrangement is then at least partially arranged in the housing bore. In this way, for example, a fit, in particular a press fit, can be formed so that the securing arrangement is secured in the housing bore.
  • the housing bore prevents the fuse arrangement from spreading. Since the securing arrangement is arranged on the ring element, the fit can also prevent the ring element from spreading open. Since that Securing element is connected to the ring element in the groove with the line, the line is secured overall to the sanitary fitting.
  • the line can be routed in the sanitary fitting with the help of the fuse arrangement. If the securing arrangement of the securing element is arranged, for example, pressed in, in the housing bore, this can prevent the line from tilting.
  • the line or at least the end section of the line which leads into the sanitary fitting thus leads vertically into the sanitary fitting, so that a seal between the line and the housing can seal uniformly. If the line were to lead at an angle into the sanitary fitting, the seal would be loaded on one side, which can be prevented with the help of the securing element.
  • the fuse arrangement can, for example, be cylindrical so that the fuse arrangement can be pushed over the line.
  • the fuse arrangement can, for example, have a diameter which is larger than the diameter of the line to be secured.
  • At least the ring element has a bending area, with the aid of which the ring element can be expanded in the circumferential direction.
  • the bending area can be formed, for example, by a taper in the ring element, so that when the securing element is spread apart, the ring element preferably expands in the bending area.
  • a corresponding bending area can additionally or alternatively also be arranged in the securing arrangement, so that the securing arrangement also bends open when it is spread open.
  • the securing arrangement has at least one opening slot by means of which the securing arrangement can be spread open.
  • the opening slot of the fuse assembly can advantageously be arranged in alignment with the radial slot in the axial direction of the securing element. As a result of the spreading, the ring element and the securing arrangement bend or spread out evenly.
  • the radial slot and the opening slot are designed as a single slot.
  • the radial slot and the opening slot are formed in one piece.
  • the radial slot and the opening slot can be formed parallel to the axial direction.
  • the radial slot and / or the opening slot can, however, also be arranged at an angle in the securing element.
  • the radial slot and / or the opening slot can then have an angle to the axial direction of the securing element.
  • the securing arrangement comprises a plurality of securing units which are arranged in the circumferential direction on the ring element and which extend away from it in the axial direction.
  • the securing units are arranged at equal distances from one another in the circumferential direction on the ring element.
  • four fuse units can be arranged on the ring element, each of which is offset from one another by 90 °.
  • the fuse units can also be at a distance from one another, so that an intermediate space is formed between the respective fuse units.
  • the securing element can be designed to be weight-saving.
  • the securing arrangement extends completely in the circumferential direction.
  • the opening slot and / or the radial slot is also arranged in the securing arrangement, so that the securing arrangement can be spread open.
  • the fuse arrangement can be cylindrical. This allows the fuse arrangement are evenly pressed together by the housing bore, so that the securing element is advantageously secured in the housing bore.
  • a first inside diameter of the fuse arrangement is larger than a second inside diameter of the ring element.
  • the securing element can have a step on a radially inner surface that can serve as a stop for the line.
  • the securing element can be fixed in the axial direction with respect to the line.
  • the securing element has compensating elements on a radially inner inner surface to compensate for a tolerance.
  • the compensating elements for compensating a tolerance can be arranged on a radially outer outer surface. With the compensation elements on the inner surface, for example, a tolerance between the securing element and the line can be compensated for. In particular, the tolerance can be compensated by the compensating elements if the line has a diameter that is too small for the securing element.
  • the compensation elements can be designed, for example, as ribs and / or lamellas, which extend away from the inner surface and / or outer surface in the radial direction.
  • the compensation elements can extend in the axial direction.
  • the compensating elements can also be designed as knobs and / or pins that extend from the inner surface and / or outer surface in the radial direction.
  • the compensation elements can also be designed in such a way that they shear off when the securing element is inserted into the housing bore of the sanitary fitting, for example. In this way, for example, a form fit and / or force fit can be formed.
  • the securing element has at least one hook element on the inner surface. This allows the securing element to be hooked onto the line. Additionally or alternatively, the hook element can also be arranged on the outer surface. With the aid of the hook element on the outer surface, the securing element can be hooked into the housing bore.
  • the hook element can, for example, snap into a groove provided for this purpose in the housing bore. As a result, the securing element and thereby the line can be fixed to the sanitary fitting.
  • the securing element has an insertion section at the end facing away from the ring element.
  • the insertion section can be wedge-shaped, for example.
  • the securing element can be introduced into a housing bore, the diameter of which is as large as an outer diameter in the area of the securing arrangement.
  • the securing element can be inserted more easily into the housing bore.
  • the insertion section can of course also be useful if, for example, an outer diameter of the line is as large as the first inner diameter in the area of the fuse arrangement. This allows the fuse arrangement to be pushed over the line more easily.
  • the securing element can also be formed, for example, from a plastic and / or from a metal. Furthermore, the securing element can for example be an injection molding.
  • a line is also proposed for the sanitary area with a securing element for securing the line to a sanitary fitting.
  • the sanitary fitting can for example be a Be faucet.
  • the securing element can furthermore be arranged in a section on the line which is to be secured to the sanitary fitting.
  • the securing element is designed according to at least one feature of the preceding and / or following description.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a securing element 1.
  • lines in the sanitary area can be secured.
  • the lines lead, for example, hot and / or cold water into a sanitary fitting, for example a faucet, a shower head, etc.
  • the securing element 1 comprises a ring element 2, which can be arranged, for example, in a groove 10, not shown here, of a line 6 and / or an intermediate piece 7 on the line 6, in order to secure the line 6, for example, against slipping out of the sanitary fitting 8 (see FIG Figure 2 ).
  • the ring element 2 or the securing element 1 can thus form, for example, a securing ring, a securing clip or a securing sleeve.
  • the securing element 1 also has a radial slot 3 by means of which at least the ring element 2 can be spread open.
  • the radial slot 3 is formed in the ring element 2.
  • a diameter of the ring element 2 can be increased, so that the ring element 2 can be introduced into the groove 10 via the line 6 and / or the intermediate piece 7.
  • the radial slot 3 widens and, as a result, the diameter of the ring element 2 increases.
  • the fuse element 1 also has a fuse arrangement 4.
  • the securing arrangement 4 extends away from the ring element 2 in the axial direction X of the securing element 1.
  • the securing arrangement 4 can be pushed over the line 6 when the securing element 1 is used as intended, when the ring element 2 for securing the line 6 is inserted into the groove 10 of the line 6 or into the groove 10 of the intermediate piece 7.
  • the fuse arrangement 4 can then at least partially enclose the line 6.
  • the fuse arrangement 4, when it is arranged on the line 6, can be inserted into a housing bore 9 of the sanitary fitting 8 (see FIG Figure 2 ).
  • the fuse arrangement 4 is then arranged between the housing bore 9 and the line 6.
  • the fuse arrangement 4 is arranged in the housing bore 9, a fit connection or a force fit can be formed between the fuse arrangement 4 and the housing bore 9.
  • the fuse arrangement 4 can be squeezed together through the housing bore 9 at least to a small extent.
  • the housing bore 9 also prevents the fuse arrangement 4 from being able to spread open. Since the securing arrangement 4 and the ring element 2 are connected to one another, this also prevents the ring element 2 from spreading.
  • the ring element 2 consequently remains fixed or secured in the groove 10 of the line 6 or in the groove 10 of an intermediate piece 7 on the line 6 .
  • the securing arrangement 4 can be used to prevent the securing element 1 and thus the line 6 from tilting when the securing arrangement 4 is inserted into the housing bore 9 of the sanitary fitting 8.
  • the fuse arrangement 4 can thereby serve as a guide.
  • the fuse arrangement 4 extends at least partially in the circumferential direction of the fuse element 1.
  • the fuse arrangement 4 is cylindrical here.
  • the fuse arrangement 4 also has an opening slot 5.
  • the opening slot 5 is arranged in alignment with the radial slot 3 in the axial direction X.
  • the radial slot 3 and the opening slot 5 can be formed, for example, by means of a single slot.
  • the radial slot 3 and the opening slot 5 can then be formed in the securing element 1, for example by sawing, in a single method step.
  • the radial slot 3 and the opening slot 5 are oriented parallel to the axial direction X.
  • the radial slot 3 and / or the opening slot 5 can also have an angle to the axial direction X.
  • the securing element 1 has compensating elements 15a-15c.
  • the compensating elements 15a - 15c are arranged on a radially outer outer surface 14 of the fuse arrangement 4. As a result, the fuse arrangement 4 can be inserted into a housing bore 9 which has a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the fuse arrangement 4.
  • the compensating elements 15a - 15c are designed as ribs and / or lamellas, which extend away from the outer surface 14 in the radial direction and extend in the axial direction X. If the securing element 1 with the securing arrangement 4 is inserted into the housing bore 9 of the sanitary fitting 8, the compensating elements 15a - 15c can shear off and form a connection between the housing bore 9 and the securing element 1.
  • the compensation elements 15 can also be arranged on a radially inner inner surface 13 so that, for example, a tolerance between the fuse element 1, in particular the fuse arrangement 4, and the line 6 can be compensated for.
  • An insertion section 16 can also be arranged at an end of the fuse arrangement 4 facing away from the ring element 2. According to the present exemplary embodiment, the insertion section 16 is wedge-shaped. With the aid of the insertion section 16, the fuse arrangement 4 can be inserted more easily into the housing bore 9.
  • the securing element 1 can also be made of plastic and / or metal. Furthermore, the securing element can be designed in one piece, for example as an injection molded part. Alternatively, the securing element 1 can also be designed in two parts. For example, the ring element 2 and the fuse arrangement 4 can be manufactured separately from one another. For example, the ring element 2 and the fuse arrangement 4 can be formed from different materials. One of the two parts can for example be made of plastic and the other part of metal.
  • Figure 2 shows a view of the securing element 1 on the line 6 in the sanitary fitting 8.
  • the sanitary fitting 8 can, for example, be a water tap for a wash basin.
  • the line 6 can, for example, be a water line in order to be able to supply the sanitary fitting 8 with hot and / or cold water.
  • such a sanitary fitting 8 naturally has two lines 6, it being possible to supply hot water through one line 6 and cold water through the other line 6.
  • the securing arrangement 4 has a first inner diameter 18 and the ring element 19 has a second inner diameter 19. According to the present exemplary embodiment, the first inner diameter 18 is larger than the second inner diameter 19.
  • the securing element 1, in particular between the securing arrangement 4 and the ring element 2 has a step 11 that can serve as a stop for the line 6. According to the present exemplary embodiment, the line is at step 11.
  • the line 6 also has an intermediate piece 7, which can be designed, for example, as an adapter.
  • the intermediate piece 7 can be arranged, for example, to stabilize the end of the line 6 leading into the sanitary fitting 8. In the present exemplary embodiment, the line 6 is pushed onto the intermediate piece 7.
  • the groove 10 in which the ring element 2 of the securing element 1 is arranged is at least partially arranged in the intermediate piece 7.
  • the line 6 can first be pushed through the housing bore 9 into the sanitary fitting 8.
  • the intermediate piece 7 can already be mounted on the line 6 in that, according to the present exemplary embodiment, the line 6 is at least partially pushed over the intermediate piece 7.
  • the intermediate piece 7 can only be mounted when the line 6 has already been led into the sanitary fitting 8.
  • the groove 10 is formed.
  • the groove 10 can also be arranged on and / or in the line 6, so that the intermediate piece 7 can be dispensed with.
  • the securing element 1 is spread apart so that the securing element 1 can be pushed over the line 6 and / or over the intermediate piece 7 in order to insert the ring element 2 into the groove 10.
  • the securing arrangement 4 is pushed over the line 6 according to the present exemplary embodiment.
  • the securing element 1 is mounted from the direction of the sanitary fitting 8.
  • At least the ring element 2 of the securing element 1 thus forms a projection 12 which has a larger outer diameter than the housing bore 9.
  • the line 6 can therefore not be pulled through the housing bore 9.
  • the securing element 1 and in particular the securing arrangement 4 of the securing element 1 is at a distance from the housing bore 9.
  • the line 6 is still unassembled in the present exemplary embodiment.
  • the line 6 with the intermediate piece 7 and the mounted securing element 1 can be withdrawn along the arrow.
  • the line 6 with the intermediate piece 7 and the mounted securing element 1 is thus pulled in the direction of the housing bore 9.
  • Figure 3 shows the line 6 and the fuse element 1, the fuse arrangement 4 being arranged in the housing bore 9 of the sanitary fitting 8.
  • the line 6 is mounted here.
  • the securing element 1 is arranged in the housing bore 9.
  • the fuse arrangement 4 is arranged in the housing bore 9.
  • the housing bore 9 prevents the fuse arrangement 4 from being able to spread open.
  • the fuse arrangement 4 can be pressed together by the housing bore 9, when the fuse arrangement 4 has a minimally larger diameter than the housing bore 9, so that a press fit is formed. Since the securing arrangement 4 is arranged on the ring element 2, this can also prevent the ring element 2 from spreading open. The ring element 2 thus remains securely arranged in the groove 10. The securing element 1 can thereby reliably secure the line 6 in the sanitary fitting 8.
  • FIG 4 shows a securing element 1 with a hook element 17.
  • the hook element 17 is arranged on the securing element 1 at the end facing away from the ring element 2.
  • the hook element 17 can be arranged on the securing arrangement 4 at the end facing away from the ring element 2.
  • the hook element 17 can extend completely around the securing arrangement 4 in the circumferential direction, the hook element 17 naturally also being interrupted by the radial slot 3 and / or the opening slot 5, so that the securing element 1 can be spread out.
  • the hook element 17 can also extend around the securing arrangement 4 only in sections in the circumferential direction.
  • the hook element 17 is arranged on the outer surface 14. As a result, the hook element 17 can, for example, get caught in the housing bore 9 or in the sanitary fitting 8, so that the line 6 is additionally secured in the sanitary fitting 8.
  • the hook element 17 can also be arranged on the inner surface 13 of the securing arrangement 4. As a result, the securing element 1 can be secured on the line 6.
