Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toilet seat with a shower device and a water protection device that is in line connection with the shower device.
  • shower toilets Toilets with shower facilities are also known as "shower toilets”.
  • shower toilets known from the market have an integrated shower function for the anal and / or genital area of the user.
  • a nozzle is arranged at the end of the shower device, through which the water exits in the direction of the area to be cleaned.
  • the nozzle can usually be extended, either electromechanically or under water pressure. In the latter case, the water pressure is used to feed the nozzle.
  • the shower facility is controlled by a valve that opens and closes the water supply.
  • the actuation can for example take place manually - that is, by opening the valve - or electromechanically, with the electromechanical control, a pulse is triggered that causes the valve to open or close.
  • the flow rate can often be regulated.
  • shower toilets with an integral under-shower are highly developed toilets which, depending on the equipment, have additional functions, such as drying function, heating function of the toilet seat and the like. Such shower toilets have basically proven their worth. However, their complexity makes them very expensive. One has therefore switched to offering shower devices as a retrofit part for conventional toilets as an alternative to shower toilets with an integral shower device.
  • the toilet seat according to the invention is used here.
  • a toilet seat that can be retrofitted as an additional module to a conventional toilet.
  • the toilet seat has a shower device and a water protection, which are mounted on a base plate and connected to one another via a hose-like line.
  • the water protection is a free outlet with an injector.
  • a jet of water is sprayed over a free space into a receptacle which is designed like a funnel. The water cannot run back to the injector through the free space. This makes it impossible to contaminate the water.
  • the leak runs directly from the water protection into the toilet bowl.
  • the water protection engages in a recess formed in the base plate, which is arranged above the toilet bowl.
  • the well-known toilet seat allows cost-effective retrofitting of conventional toilets. A separate water connection is all that is required for the shower function.
  • the structure of the known toilet seat is not optimal.
  • the position of the water protection is determined by the penetration of the water protection through the base plate.
  • the invention is based on the object of optimizing the known toilet seat, in particular with regard to its structure.
  • toilet seat according to the invention on a channel is derived by the leakage of the water coverage.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the arrangement of the water protection device relative to the shower device has a significant influence on its functionality. Tests have shown that the shortest possible line path, without any bends, leads to significantly less leakage and, at the same time, to a higher flow rate.
  • the position of the water protection is in relation to the shower facility given.
  • the channel according to the invention allows a much more flexible arrangement of the water protection, which is made in particular such that the water protection is arranged not far from the shower device. The leakage is diverted through the channel.
  • the water connection of the shower device is located in the rear half of the shower device. Consequently, it is considered advantageous to also arrange the water protection freely, preferably in the rear area of the toilet seat.
  • the channel according to the invention allows an optimal placement of the water protection. The channel ensures that leaks, splash water or the like are safely drained off into the toilet bowl.
  • the water protection is connected to the shower facility via a hose-like line. It has been shown that a maximum hose length of 10 cm ensures operation with minimal leakage.
  • the toilet seat preferably has a base plate.
  • a base plate Such a construction offers the advantage that all components can be arranged on the base plate. On the one hand, this facilitates maintenance. On the other hand, a (advantageously one-piece) base plate also provides a stable basis for the overall structure of the toilet seat.
  • the base plate is preferably made of plastic and can, for example, be manufactured as an injection molded part. It is considered to be particularly advantageous if the channel is formed integrally with the base plate.
  • the base plate have an outlet, preferably designed as an opening, into which the channel opens.
  • the leakage advantageously reaches the toilet bowl through the outlet, down through the base plate.
  • the outlet also has the advantage that it is not visible to the user.
  • the base plate will be attached to the toilet bowl. They should be positioned in such a way that the leak can get into the toilet bowl.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the outlet is arranged in the front area of the base plate.
  • the channel preferably has side walls.
  • the side walls can, for example, be formed integrally with the base plate and extend upwards from the base plate.
  • the channel is advantageously at least partially open at the top. Among other things, this facilitates a good one Accessibility during an inspection and / or cleaning of the toilet seat.
  • the channel extends from the rear to the front. It preferably opens - viewed in the lateral direction of extent of the toilet seat - in the middle third of the toilet seat.
  • the nozzle is arranged essentially centrally. The canal flows into the neighborhood.
  • an advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the channel slopes down towards the front. This advantageously ensures that the water flows forward and there is no build-up of water, which, among other things, could also have hygienic disadvantages.
  • the toilet seat can be constructed in such a way that it has a fastening device by means of which it can be fixed to the toilet bowl.
  • the fastening device can be designed such that the toilet seat is fastened directly to the toilet ceramic.
  • a base plate is mounted on the toilet bowl, and the toilet seat is mounted on the base plate by the fastening device. It is advantageously provided that the channel bridges the fastening device. So the water can be derived without the drainage is hindered by the fastening device.
  • the water protection is arranged above the channel, namely advantageously in such a way that leakage from the water protection preferably drips directly down into the channel.
  • the water protection preferably partially engages in the channel.
  • the channel according to the invention offers the possibility of a (largely) free positioning of the water protection in relation to the shower device.
  • This free positioning can be used to optimize the efficiency of the overall arrangement (low leakage, increased flow rate) and to secure any materials that are not permitted in the drinking water area at the water inlet of the toilet seat.
  • Another important advantage of the channel is that the water protection can be placed in such a way that maintenance does not require the housing of the water protection and / or the lid of the toilet seat to be opened, as in the prior art. Rather, it is possible in a further development of the invention to carry out maintenance from the outside.
  • the toilet seat preferably has a lid in which a maintenance opening is formed, the water protection advantageously being arranged adjacent to the maintenance opening.
  • the maintenance opening can be opened with be closed with a cover plate, a plug or the like.
  • a toilet seat is considered to be structurally advantageous in which the shower device, the water protection, the channel and preferably also a valve which is in line connection with the water protection are arranged on the base plate. All important components are therefore connected to the base plate, which in particular makes the attachment easy to handle (for example during assembly).
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a toilet seat according to the invention.
  • the toilet seat has a base plate 1 on which a valve 2, a shower device 3 and a water protection 4 are arranged are.
  • the valve 2, the shower device 3 and the water protection 4 are connected to one another via a line 5, which advantageously consists of several line sections.
  • the valve 2 has a water connection 6 and an actuating button 7.
  • the toilet seat is connected to a water pipe (not shown) via the water connection 6 for the water supply.
  • the amount of water that is to emerge from the shower device is regulated via the actuating button 7.
  • the shower device 3 has a stationary housing section 8 and a nozzle section 9 which can be extended under water pressure and at the end of which a nozzle 10 is located. The water exits from the nozzle 10 for cleaning.
  • the water protection 4 is arranged between the valve 2 and the shower device 3.
  • the water protection 4 has an injector (not visible) in which a water jet is sprayed over a free section.
  • a water protection is preferably arranged horizontally. This means that the water jet goes horizontally over the free section. If the water runs back, the free space prevents the tap water from being contaminated.
  • the base plate 1 has an opening 12 into which the channel 11 opens.
  • the leakage enters the toilet bowl through the opening 12.
  • the opening is arranged in the middle third of the width of the base plate.
  • the opening of the toilet bowl has its maximum extent.
  • the channel 11 has side walls 13 and is preferably formed integrally with the base plate 1.
  • the channel bottom 14 has a gradient towards the opening 12. Any water is safely drained away without the risk of standing water.
  • the water protection 4 has a spacer, which can preferably be designed as a grid 15, which diverts spray water directly into the channel 11.
  • the spacer has a height (maximum extension) of at least 2 cm. This particularly advantageously ensures compliance with drinking water-specific requirements.
  • the water protection engages (in this case with the grid 15) in the channel 11 and thus creates a safe collection of all splash water.
  • the toilet seat can be attached to the toilet bowl using a fastening device.
  • the toilet seat has an actuating device 16 which engages with a mounting plate 17 pre-assembled on the toilet bowl (see FIG Figure 3 ) can be brought.
