Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Spülventil, insbesondere ein Urinalspülventil, nach Anspruch 1 sowie eine Urinalanordnung nach den Ansprüchen 12 bzw. 15 und Verfahren zur Montage einer Urinalanordnung nach den Ansprüchen 14 bzw. 16.The present invention relates to a flush valve, in particular a urinal flush valve, according to claim 1 and a urinal arrangement according to claims 12 and 15, respectively, and a method for assembling a urinal arrangement according to claims 14 and 16, respectively.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Aus der DE 20 2006 008 667 U1 und der DE 41 20 768 A1 sind Urinale mit Spülventilen bekannt geworden. Die Spülventile sind dabei über Wasserschläuche, die typischerweise als Panzerschläuche ausgebildet sind, an die gebäudeseitige Versorgungsleitung und an Auslassstücke am Urinal angeschlossen. Die von den Urinalen vorgegebenen Einbauräume sind typischerweise eng und der Einsatz von derartigen Wasserschläuchen hat den Vorteil, dass Lösungen für unterschiedliche Formen von Urinalen geschaffen werden können.From the DE 20 2006 008 667 U1 and the DE 41 20 768 A1 urinals with flush valves have become known. The flushing valves are connected to the supply line in the building and to outlet pieces on the urinal via water hoses, which are typically designed as armored hoses. The installation spaces specified by the urinals are typically narrow and the use of such water hoses has the advantage that solutions can be created for different shapes of urinals.

Nachteilig an dieser Ausbildung ist der sehr hohe Montageaufwand, welcher im Wesentlichen durch das Anschliessen der Wasserschläuche motiviert ist. Die Kosten für derartige Anordnung sind demnach vergleichsweise hoch. Zudem ist die Zahl der eigentlichen Anschlussstellen vergleichsweise hoch, was das Risiko von Leckage entsprechend erhöht.A disadvantage of this design is the very high assembly effort, which is essentially motivated by the connection of the water hoses. The costs for such an arrangement are therefore comparatively high. In addition, the number of actual connection points is comparatively high, which increases the risk of leakage accordingly.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung eine Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Spülventil anzugeben, welches die Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet. Eine besonders bevorzugte Aufgabe ist es, ein Spülventil anzugeben, welches den Montageaufwand reduziert. Eine weitere besonders bevorzugte Aufgabe ist es, ein Spülventil anzugeben, welches möglichst vielseitig einsetzbar ist.Proceeding from this prior art, the invention is based on the object of specifying a flushing valve which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. A particularly preferred task is to specify a flushing valve which reduces the assembly effort. A further particularly preferred object is to specify a flushing valve which can be used in as many different ways as possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch das Spülventil von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Demgemäss umfasst ein Spülventil, insbesondere ein Urinalspülventil, ein Gehäuse mit einem Wasserführungskanal mit einer Einlassöffnung und einer Auslassöffnung, und ein den Wasserführungskanal zwischen Einlassöffnung und Auslassöffnung sperrendes bzw. freigebendes Ventil. Bei einer Spülung nimmt das Ventil die freigebende Stellung ein, so dass Spülwasser durch den Wasserführungskanal zur Auslassöffnung geführt werden kann. Der Wasserführungskanal erstreckt sich von der Einlassöffnung mit einem einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt entlang einer ersten Achse. Weiter erstreckt sich der Wasserführungskanal zur Auslassöffnung mit einem auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitt entlang einer zweiten Achse. Die erste Achse und die zweite Achse liegen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene und verlaufen kollinear zueinander.This object is solved by the flush valve of claim 1. Accordingly, a flush valve, in particular a urinal flush valve, comprises a housing with a water duct with an inlet opening and an outlet opening, and a valve blocking or releasing the water duct between the inlet opening and the outlet opening. When flushing, the valve assumes the releasing position, so that flushing water can be guided through the water duct to the outlet opening. The water-guiding channel extends from the inlet opening with an inlet-side channel section along a first axis. The water-guiding channel also extends to the outlet opening with a channel section on the outlet side along a second axis. The first axis and the second axis lie in a common plane and are collinear with one another.

Der Wasserführungskanal weist zwischen dem einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt und dem auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitt einen Umlenkabschnitt auf, der sich in einem Winkel winklig geneigt zur ersten Achse und/oder zur zweiten Achse erstreckt, derart, dass der Umlenkabschnitt bezüglich der Orientierung des einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitts bzw. des auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitts ausgelenkt ist. Das Ventil ist im besagten Umlenkabschnitt angeordnet.Between the inlet-side channel section and the outlet-side channel section, the water-guiding channel has a deflection section, which extends at an angle inclined to the first axis and/or to the second axis, such that the deflection section deflects with respect to the orientation of the inlet-side channel section or the outlet-side channel section is. The valve is arranged in said deflection section.

Durch die Anordnung des Umlenkabschnittes, welcher sich vom ersten Kanalabschnitt bzw. vom zweiten Kanalabschnitt auslenkt, ergeht der Vorteil, dass das Ventil an einem Ort platziert werden kann, an welchem im eingebauten Zustand in einem Urinal oder einem anderen Sanitärartikel mehr Raum besteht. Insbesondere kann bei einem Urinal das Spülventil derart eingebaut werden, dass das Ventil vom oberen Spülrand oder von der oberen Spüldüse gesehen, in einem unteren Raumbereich hinter dem allgemeinen Aufnahmeraum des Urinals zu liegen kommt. Diese unteren Raumbereiche sind aufgrund der Formgebung der Urinale mit grösseren Volumina ausgebildet, was mehr Raum für das Ventil schafft.The arrangement of the deflection section, which deflects from the first channel section or from the second channel section, has the advantage that the valve can be placed at a location where there is more space when installed in a urinal or other sanitary item. In particular, the flushing valve can be installed in a urinal in such a way that the valve, viewed from the upper flushing edge or from the upper flushing nozzle, comes to rest in a lower spatial area behind the general receiving space of the urinal. Due to the shape of the urinals, these lower spatial areas are designed with larger volumes, which creates more space for the valve.

Das Ventil liegt, mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt, ausserhalb des einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitts bzw. des auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitts, wodurch das Ventil in einem Bereich am Sanitärartikel platziert werden kann, welcher einen grösseren Einbauraum bietet.In other words, the valve is located outside the inlet-side channel section or the outlet-side channel section, as a result of which the valve can be placed in an area on the sanitary article that offers a larger installation space.

In Einbaulage liegen die erste Achse und die zweite Achse im Wesentlichen in der Horizontalen. Der Umlenkabschnitt erstreckt sich vorzugweise in der Vertikalen.In the installed position, the first axis and the second axis lie essentially in the horizontals. The deflection section preferably extends vertically.

Der Umlenkabschnitt erstreckt sich vorzugsweise in einem Winkel von 90° zur ersten Achse bzw. zur zweiten Achse.The deflection section preferably extends at an angle of 90° to the first axis or to the second axis.

Wie bereits vorgeführt, liegen die erste Achse und die zweite Achse in einer gemeinsamen Ebene und verlaufen kollinear zueinander.As already demonstrated, the first axis and the second axis lie in a common plane and are collinear with one another.

Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Einlassöffnung und die Auslassöffnung in Einbaulage auf der gleichen Höhe angeordnet werden können, was bei der Montage eines Urinals von Vorteil ist. Insbesondere kann zuerst das Spülventil mit einer gebäudeseitigen Wasserleitung verbunden werden und anschliessend kann das Urinal mit dem Spülventil verbunden werden.This has the advantage that the inlet opening and the outlet opening can be arranged at the same height in the installed position, which is advantageous when assembling a urinal. In particular, the flush valve can first be connected to a water line in the building and then the urinal can be connected to the flush valve.

Vorzugsweise weist der Umlenkabschnitt einen ersten Teilabschnitt und einen sich dem ersten Teilabschnitt anschliessenden zweiten Teilabschnitt auf, wobei der erste Teilabschnitt vom einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt wegführt und der zweite Teilabschnitt zum auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitt hinführt, wobei die beiden Teilabschnitte parallel zueinander verlaufen. Die beiden Teilabschnitte verlaufen vorzugsweise rechtwinklig zu den beiden Kanalabschnitten.The deflection section preferably has a first section and a second section adjoining the first section, the first section leading away from the inlet-side channel section and the second section leading to the outlet-side channel section, the two sections running parallel to one another. The two sections preferably run at right angles to the two channel sections.

Mit anderen Worten kann gesagt werden, dass der Umlenkabschnitt im Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet ist.In other words, it can be said that the deflection section is essentially U-shaped.

In einer Variante ist das Ventil ein Magnetventil, insbesondere mit einer elektrisch ansteuerbaren Membran. Das Magnetventil bzw. die Membran kann dabei von einem geschlossenen Zustand in einen offenen Zustand gebracht werden. Im letzteren Zustand wird der Wasserführungskanal freigegeben.In one variant, the valve is a solenoid valve, in particular with an electrically controllable membrane. The solenoid valve or the membrane can be brought from a closed state to an open state. In the latter state, the water supply channel is released.

Vorzugsweise liegt das Magnetventil bzw. die Membran möglichst weit von den beiden Kanalabschnitten entfernt.The magnetic valve or the membrane is preferably located as far away as possible from the two channel sections.

In einer anderen Variante weist das Ventil einen Ventilstössel auf, welcher mit einem im Umlenkabschnitt liegenden Ventilsitz zusammenarbeitet. Der Ventilsitz wird vorzugsweise durch Seitenwände des Umlenkabschnittes bereitgestellt.In another variant, the valve has a valve stem, which is im Deflection lying valve seat cooperates. The valve seat is preferably provided by side walls of the deflection section.

Vorzugsweise liegt der Ventilsitz möglichst weit von beiden Kanalabschnitten entfernt.The valve seat is preferably located as far away from the two channel sections as possible.

Besonders bevorzugt liegt der Ventilsitz im ersten Teilabschnitt oder im zweiten Teilabschnitt, wobei der Ventilstössel parallel zur Mittelachse des jeweiligen Teilabschnittes orientiert ist.The valve seat is particularly preferably located in the first section or in the second section, with the valve tappet being oriented parallel to the central axis of the respective section.

Bei einer Anordnung des Ventilsitzes im ersten Teilabschnitt ragt der Ventilstössel gegen die Fliessrichtung in den ersten Teilabschnitt ein. Bei einer Anordnung des Ventilsitzes im zweiten Teilabschnitt ragt der Ventilstössel in die Fliessrichtung in den zweiten Teilabschnitt ein.When the valve seat is arranged in the first section, the valve tappet protrudes into the first section counter to the direction of flow. When the valve seat is arranged in the second section, the valve tappet protrudes in the direction of flow into the second section.

Vorzugsweise wird der Ventilstössel entlang einer Längsbewegung relativ zum Ventilsitz bewegt. Eine Drehbewegung ist aber auch denkbar.Preferably, the valve stem is moved along a longitudinal movement relative to the valve seat. However, a rotary movement is also conceivable.

Vorzugsweise liegt das Ventil mit der Massgabe eines grösstmöglichen Abstandes zwischen dem Ventil und der ersten Achse und/oder der zweiten Achse im Umlenkabschnitt.The valve is preferably located in the deflection section with the stipulation of the largest possible distance between the valve and the first axis and/or the second axis.

Dadurch ergeht der Vorteil, dass das Spülventil für möglichst viele Urinalformen einsetzbar ist, weil das Ventil so in Bereiche der Urinale zu liegen kommt, welche typischerweise als freie Hohlräume ausgebildet sind.This has the advantage that the flushing valve can be used for as many urinal shapes as possible, because the valve thus comes to lie in areas of the urinal that are typically designed as free cavities.

Vorzugsweise liegt das Ventil in einem Abstand quer zur ersten Achse und/oder zur zweiten Achse von mindestens 8 Zentimetern, insbesondere von mindestens 12 Zentimetern, von der ersten Achse und/oder der zweiten Achse entfernt.The valve is preferably located at a distance transverse to the first axis and/or the second axis of at least 8 centimeters, in particular at least 12 centimeters, from the first axis and/or the second axis.

Vorzugsweise weist das Gehäuse einen Hauptgehäuseabschnitt auf, in welchem sich der Umlenkabschnitt erstreckt, wobei sich quer zum Hauptgehäuseabschnitt ein einlassseitiger Anschlussstutzen mit der Einlassöffnung und ein auslassseitiger Anschlussstutzen mit der Auslassöffnung erstreckt.The housing preferably has a main housing section in which the deflection section extends, with an inlet-side connection piece with the inlet opening and an outlet-side connection piece with the outlet opening extending transversely to the main housing section.

Der Hauptgehäuseabschnitt ist vorzugsweise länglich ausgebildet, wobei die beiden Anschlussstutzen an einem Ende des länglich ausgebildeten Hauptgehäuseabschnitts angeordnet sind. Hierdurch kann ebenfalls den knappen Platzverhältnissen Rechnung getragen werden.The main housing section is preferably elongate, with the two connecting pieces being arranged at one end of the elongate main housing section. In this way, the tight space conditions can also be taken into account.

Vorzugsweise weist der Hauptgehäuseabschnitt an einer gegenüber dem Anschlussstutzen liegenden Stirnseite eine Aufnahme auf, in welche das Ventil eingesetzt ist.The main housing section preferably has a receptacle on an end face opposite the connecting piece, into which the valve is inserted.

Vorzugsweise weist die Aufnahme einen zylindrischen Querschnitt auf. Das Ventil weist einen zylindrischen Lagerabschnitt auf, welcher in die Aufnahme einragt. Durch diese Ausbildung kann das Ventil vergleichsweise einfach mit dem Gehäuse verbunden bzw. im Wartungsfall vom Gehäuse getrennt werden.The receptacle preferably has a cylindrical cross section. The valve has a cylindrical bearing section which protrudes into the receptacle. This design allows the valve to be connected to the housing in a comparatively simple manner or to be separated from the housing in the event of maintenance.

Vorzugsweise weist der Hauptgehäuseabschnitt einen gegenüber dem Bereich, in welchem das Ventil liegt, verjüngten Querschnitt auf, wobei sich die beiden Anschlussstutzen vom verjüngten Querschnitt weg erstrecken.The main housing section preferably has a cross section which is tapered in relation to the area in which the valve is located, with the two connecting pieces extending away from the tapered cross section.

Durch den verjüngten Querschnitt ergeht der Vorteil, dass Hauptgehäuse zwischen den Anschlussstutzen und dem Ventil möglichst schlank ausgebildet ist, wodurch es vielseitig einsetzbar wird.The tapered cross-section has the advantage that the main housing between the connecting pieces and the valve is as slim as possible, which makes it versatile.

Vorzugsweise weist das Spülventil weiterhin ein Absperrventil auf, welches im Umlenkabschnitt in Fliessrichtung vor dem Ventil gesehen, angeordnet ist. Im Wartungsfall kann das Absperrventil geschlossen werden, wodurch das Ventil "wasserlos" wird und daher ohne unkontrollierten Wasseraustritt aus dem Gehäuse entfernt werden kann. Das Absperrventil kann auch zur Drosselung des Durchflusses eingesetzt werden. Beispielsweise mit dem Ziel, das Spülwasser mit entsprechenden Strömungsverhältnissen dem Sanitärartikel zuzuführen, so dass es nicht zu einem Überschiessen des Spülwassers kommen kann.The flushing valve preferably also has a shut-off valve, which is arranged in the deflection section in front of the valve, viewed in the direction of flow. In the event of maintenance, the shut-off valve can be closed, which means that the valve becomes "waterless" and can therefore be removed from the housing without uncontrolled water leakage. The shut-off valve can also be used to throttle the flow. For example, with the aim of supplying the flushing water to the sanitary item with appropriate flow conditions so that the flushing water cannot overflow.

Vorzugsweise weist das Spülventil weiterhin ein separat zum Spülventil ausgebildetes Anschlusselement aus, welches mit dem auslassseitigen Anschlussstutzen verbindbar ist, wobei der auslassseitige Anschlussstutzen vorzugsweise ein Aussengewinde und das Anschlusselement vorzugsweise ein Innengewinde aufweist, über welche Gewinde die Verbindung zwischen dem Anschlusselement und dem Gehäuse hergestellt wird.The scavenging valve preferably also has a connecting element which is designed separately from the scavenging valve and can be connected to the outlet-side connecting piece. wherein the connection piece on the outlet side preferably has an external thread and the connecting element preferably has an internal thread, via which threads the connection between the connecting element and the housing is established.

Das Anschlusselement weist den Vorteil auf, dass der auslassseitige Anschlussstutzen verlängert werden kann.The connection element has the advantage that the connection piece on the outlet side can be lengthened.

Besonders bevorzugt ist das Anschlusselement in seiner Länge veränderbar ausgebildet, so dass das Anschlusselement auf die entsprechend gewünschte Länge gekürzt werden kann.Particularly preferably, the length of the connecting element is variable, so that the connecting element can be shortened to the correspondingly desired length.

Vorzugsweise weist das Anschlusselement weiterhin eine Dichtung auf, mit welcher das Anschlusselement gegenüber einer Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung am Sanitärartikel abgedichtet werden kann.The connecting element preferably also has a seal with which the connecting element can be sealed off from a flushing water outlet opening on the sanitary article.

Eine Urinalanordnung umfasst ein Spülventil nach obiger Beschreibung und ein Urinal mit einem Aufnahmeraum, der eine Abflussöffnung und eine oberhalb der Abflussöffnung liegende Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung aufweist, wobei das Spülventil mit der Auslassöffnung direkt in die Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung einragt. Weiter liegt das Spülventil in einem Hohlraum gegenüber dem Aufnahmeraum.A urinal arrangement comprises a flush valve according to the above description and a urinal with a receiving space which has a drainage opening and a flushing water outlet opening located above the drainage opening, the flushing valve with the outlet opening projecting directly into the flushing water outlet opening. Next, the flushing valve is in a cavity opposite the receiving space.

Vorzugsweise weist das Urinal eine rückseitig liegende und den Aufnahmeraum rückseitig begrenzende Montageebene auf, wobei das Ventil derart angeordnet ist, dass ausschliesslich die Einlassöffnung ausserhalb des durch die Montageebene begrenzten Aufnahmeraums liegt. Die restlichen Elemente bzw. Bereiche des Spülventils liegen demnach im inneren des Aufnahmeraums.The urinal preferably has a mounting plane located at the rear and delimiting the receiving space at the rear, the valve being arranged in such a way that the inlet opening lies exclusively outside the receiving space delimited by the mounting plane. The remaining elements or areas of the flushing valve are accordingly located inside the receiving space.

Ein Verfahren zur Montage einer Urinalanordnung nach obiger Beschreibung ist dadurch charakterisiert,

  • dass in einem ersten Schritt, das Spülventil mit der Einlassöffnung mit einer gebäudeseitigen Wasseranschlussstelle verbunden wird, und
  • dass in einem zweiten Schritt das Urinal montiert, wobei während der Montage des Urinals die Auslassöffnung in die Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung zu liegen kommt.

  • that in a first step, the flushing valve with the inlet opening is connected to a building-side water connection point, and
  • that in a second step the urinal is assembled, with the outlet opening coming to lie in the flushing water outlet opening during the assembly of the urinal.

Eine weitere Urinalanordnung umfasst ein Spülventil nach obiger Beschreibung und ein Urinal mit einem Aufnahmeraum, der eine Abflussöffnung und eine oberhalb der Abflussöffnung liegende Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung aufweist, wobei ein separater Sprühkopf in die Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung eingesetzt ist, welcher mit einem Schlauch mit der Auslassöffnung verbunden ist. Weiter liegt das Spülventil in einem Hohlraum gegenüber des Aufnahmeraums.Another urinal arrangement comprises a flush valve as described above and a urinal with a receiving space which has a drain opening and a flushing water outlet opening located above the drain opening, with a separate spray head being inserted into the flushing water outlet opening and connected to the outlet opening with a hose.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In den Figuren 1 bis 5 werden verschiedene Ansichten eines Spülventils 1 gezeigt. Das Spülventil 1 ist vorzugsweise ein Urinalspülventil. Das Spülventil 1 kann aber auch in anderen Sanitärartikeln bzw. sanitären Anwendungen zum Einsatz kommen.In the Figures 1 to 5 different views of a flushing valve 1 are shown. The flush valve 1 is preferably a urinal flush valve. However, the flushing valve 1 can also be used in other sanitary articles or sanitary applications.

Das Spülventil 1 umfasst ein Gehäuse 2 mit einem Wasserführungskanal 3 mit einer Einlassöffnung 4 und einer Auslassöffnung 5. Weiter ist im Wasserführungskanal 3 ein den Wasserführungskanal 3 zwischen Einlassöffnung 4 und Auslassöffnung 5 sperrendes bzw. freigebendes Ventil 6 angeordnet. Im Wasserführungskanal 3 strömt das Spülwasser somit von der Einlassöffnung zu der Auslassöffnung 5 und das Ventil 6 unterbricht den Wasserführungskanal 3 bzw. gibt den Wasserführungskanal 3 bei einem Spülvorgang entsprechend frei.The flushing valve 1 comprises a housing 2 with a water duct 3 with an inlet opening 4 and an outlet opening 5. Also in the water duct 3 is a valve 6 which blocks or releases the water duct 3 between the inlet opening 4 and the outlet opening 5. In the water duct 3, the flushing water thus flows from the inlet opening to the outlet opening 5 and the valve 6 interrupts the water duct 3 or releases the water duct 3 accordingly during a rinsing process.

Der Wasserführungskanal 3 erstreckt sich von der Einlassöffnung 4 her gesehen mit einem einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 7 entlang einer ersten Achse A7. Zur Auslassöffnung 5 hin erstreckt sich der Wasserführungskanal 3 mit einem auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 8 entlang einer zweiten Ache A8. Der Wasserführungskanal 3 weist weiter zwischen dem einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 7 und dem auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 8 einen Umlenkabschnitt 9 auf. Der Umlenkabschnitt 9 erstreckt sich in einem Winkel winklig geneigt zur ersten Achse A7 und/oder zur zweiten Achse A8. Dabei erstreckt sich der Umlenkabschnitt 9 derart zur ersten Achse A7 bzw. zur zweiten Achse A8, dass der Umlenkabschnitt 9 bezüglich der Orientierung des einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitts 7 bzw. des auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitts 8 ausgelenkt wird. Diese Auslenkung wird in der Schnittdarstellung der Figur 3 gut gezeigt. Der Umlenkabschnitt 9 erstreckt sich hier im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur ersten Achse A7 und zur zweiten Achse A8. Das Ventil 6 ist dabei im besagten Umlenkabschnitt 9 angeordnet. Die Anordnung des Ventils 6 im Umlenkabschnitt 9 hat den Vorteil, dass das Ventil 6 in einem Bereich zu liegen kommt, in welchem in typischen Einbausituationen ein für das Ventil genügend grossen Bauraum vorhanden ist. Typischerweise ist der Bauraum in den Bereichen nah an den beiden Achsen A7, A8 eher beschränkt.Viewed from the inlet opening 4, the water-guiding channel 3 extends with an inlet-side channel section 7 along a first axis A7. Towards the outlet opening 5, the water supply channel 3 extends with a channel section 8 on the outlet side along a second axis A8. The water-guiding channel 3 also has a deflection section 9 between the channel section 7 on the inlet side and the channel section 8 on the outlet side. The deflection section 9 extends at an angle inclined at an angle to the first axis A7 and/or to the second axis A8. The deflection section 9 extends to the first axis A7 or to the second axis A8 in such a way that the deflection section 9 is deflected with respect to the orientation of the inlet-side channel section 7 or the outlet-side channel section 8 . This deflection is in the sectional view of the figure 3 well shown. The deflection section 9 extends here essentially at right angles to the first axis A7 and to the second axis A8. The valve 6 is arranged in said deflection section 9 . The arrangement of the valve 6 in the deflection section 9 has the advantage that the valve 6 comes to lie in an area in which, in typical installation situations, there is sufficient installation space for the valve. Typically, the space in the areas close to the two axes A7, A8 is rather limited.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform liegen die erste Achse A7 und die zweiten Achse A8 in einer gemeinsamen Ebene E und verlaufen kollinear zueinander. Der Umlenkabschnitt 9 ist dabei zu den beiden Achsen A7, A8 entsprechend ausgelenkt.In the embodiment shown, the first axis A7 and the second axis A8 lie in a common plane E and are collinear with one another. The deflection section 9 is correspondingly deflected to the two axes A7, A8.

Der Umlenkabschnitt 9 weist einen ersten Teilabschnitt 20 und einen sich dem ersten Teilabschnitt 20 anschliessenden zweiten Teilabschnitt 21 auf. Der erste Teilabschnitt 20 führt vom einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 7 weg. Der zweite Teilabschnitt 21 führt zum auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 8 hin. Die beiden Teilabschnitte 20, 21 verlaufen parallel zueinander. Die beiden Teilabschnitte 20, 21 sind dabei zu dem einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 7 bzw. zu dem auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 8 winklig geneigt orientiert. Hier verlaufen die Teilabschnitte 20, 21 in einem rechten Winkel zu den Kanalabschnitten 7, 8.The deflection section 9 has a first section 20 and a second section 21 adjoining the first section 20 . The first section 20 leads away from the inlet-side channel section 7 . The second section 21 leads to the outlet-side channel section 8 . The two sections 20, 21 run parallel to one another. The two sections 20, 21 are oriented at an angle to the channel section 7 on the inlet side or to the channel section 8 on the outlet side. Here the sections 20, 21 run at a right angle to the channel sections 7, 8.

Im Bereich des Übergangs vom ersten Teilabschnitt 20 zum zweiten Teilabschnitt 21 ist das Ventil 6 angeordnet. Das Ventil 6 befindet sich hier in einem grösstmöglichen Abstand zum einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 7 bzw. zum auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 8.The valve 6 is arranged in the area of the transition from the first section 20 to the second section 21 . The valve 6 is here at the greatest possible distance from the inlet-side channel section 7 or the outlet-side channel section 8.

Das Ventil ist in der gezeigten Ausführungsform ein Magnetventil. Das Magnetventil weist vorzugsweise eine elektrisch ansteuerbare Membran auf, welche den Spülwasserkanal sperrt bzw. frei gibt. Das Magnetventil ragt in der gezeigten Ausführungsform mit einem Rohransatz 22 in eine Aufnahme 23 am Umlenkabschnitt 9 ein. Die Membran selbst ist nicht gezeigt. Die Membran befindet sich im Inneren des Magnetventils unterhalb des Rohransatzes 22.In the embodiment shown, the valve is a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve preferably has an electrically controllable membrane which blocks or releases the flushing water channel. In the embodiment shown, the solenoid valve protrudes with a pipe extension 22 into a receptacle 23 on the deflection section 9 . The membrane itself is not shown. The membrane is located inside the solenoid valve below the pipe extension 22.

In einer nicht gezeigten Ausführungsform weist das Ventil 6 einen Ventilstössel auf, welcher mit einem im Umlenkabschnitt 9 liegenden Ventilsitz zusammenarbeitet. Der Ventilsitz liegt vorzugsweise im zweiten Teilabschnitt 21. Beispielsweise ragt der Ventilstössel in Richtung der Mittelachse M21 des zweiten Teilabschnittes 21 in den zweiten Teilabschnitt 21 ein und arbeitet dort mit dem Ventilsitz, der an den Wänden des zweiten Teilabschnittes 21 angeordnet ist, zusammen. Der Ventilstössel ist demnach parallel zur Mittelachse M21 des zweiten Teilabschnittes 21 angeordnet und lässt sich vorzugsweise in Richtung der Mittelachse M21 bewegen.In an embodiment that is not shown, the valve 6 has a valve tappet which cooperates with a valve seat located in the deflection section 9 . The valve seat is preferably located in the second section 21. For example, the valve tappet protrudes in the direction of the central axis M21 of the second section 21 into the second section 21 and works there with the valve seat, which is arranged on the walls of the second section 21. The valve tappet is therefore arranged parallel to the central axis M21 of the second section 21 and can preferably be moved in the direction of the central axis M21.

In alternativen Ausführungsformen wäre es auch denkbar, dass der Ventilsitz im ersten Umlenkabschnitt 20 liegt.In alternative embodiments it would also be conceivable for the valve seat to be located in the first deflection section 20 .

Grundsätzlich ist das Ventil 6, unabhängig von seiner Bauart, mit der Massgabe eines grösstmöglichen Abstand A zwischen dem Ventil 6 und der ersten Achse A7 bzw. der zweiten Achse A8 im Umlenkabschnitt 9 angeordnet. Der Abstand trägt das Bezugszeichen Z und ist in der Figur 3 entsprechend eingezeichnet. Durch die Anordnung des Ventils 6 mit einem grösstmöglichen Abstand Z zur ersten Achse A7 beziehungsweise zur zweiten Achse A8 ergeht der Vorteil, dass die Gestaltungsfreiheit bei der Anordnung des Ventils entsprechend optimiert werden kann. Insbesondere lässt sich das Spülventil 1 so ausbilden, dass das Ventil 6 in Bereiche eines Sanitärartikels zu liegen kommt, in welchen ein entsprechender Einbauraum vorhanden ist.In principle, the valve 6, regardless of its design, is arranged in the deflection section 9 with the stipulation of the greatest possible distance A between the valve 6 and the first axis A7 or the second axis A8. The distance bears the reference Z and is in the figure 3 marked accordingly. The arrangement of the valve 6 with the greatest possible distance Z from the first axis A7 or the second axis A8 results in the advantage that the freedom of design in the arrangement of the valve can be correspondingly optimized. In particular, the flushing valve 1 can be designed in such a way that the valve 6 comes to lie in areas of a sanitary article in which there is a corresponding installation space.

Vorzugsweise ist der Abstand Z quer zur ersten Achse A7 bzw. zur zweiten Achse A8 mindestens 8 Zentimetern, insbesondere mindestens 12 Zentimeter. Das heisst, das Ventil 6 liegt in einem entsprechenden Abstand von der ersten Achse A7 bzw. von der zweiten Achse A8 entfernt.The distance Z transverse to the first axis A7 or to the second axis A8 is preferably at least 8 centimeters, in particular at least 12 centimeters. This means that the valve 6 is at a corresponding distance from the first axis A7 or from the second axis A8.

Das Gehäuse 2 weist, wie in den Figuren gezeigt, einen Hauptgehäuseabschnitt 10 auf. Im Hauptgehäuseabschnitt 10 erstreckt sich der Umlenkabschnitt 9. Quer zum Hauptgehäuseabschnitt 10 erstreckt sich ein einlassseitiger Anschlussstutzen 11 mit der Einlassöffnung 4 und dem einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 7. Ebenfalls quer zum Hauptgehäuseabschnitt 10 erstreckt sich ein auslassseitiger Anschlussstutzen 12 mit der Auslassöffnung 7 sowie dem auslassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 8.As shown in the figures, the housing 2 has a main housing section 10 . The deflection section 9 extends in the main housing section 10. An inlet-side connecting piece 11 with the inlet opening 4 and the inlet-side channel section 7 extends transversely to the main housing section 10. An outlet-side connecting piece 12 with the outlet opening 7 and the outlet-side channel section 8 also extends transversely to the main housing section 10.

Der einlassseitige Anschlussstutzen 11 dient dem Anschluss des Spülventiles 1 an eine Wasserleitung. Der auslassseitige Anschlussstutzen 12 dient dem Anschluss des Spülventils 1 an einen Sanitärartikel. Beispielsweise können hierzu die Anschlussstutzen 10, 11 mit Gewinden versehen sein.The connection piece 11 on the inlet side is used to connect the flushing valve 1 to a water pipe. The connection piece 12 on the outlet side is used to connect the flushing valve 1 to a sanitary article. For example, the connecting pieces 10, 11 can be provided with threads for this purpose.

Weiter weist der Hauptgehäuseabschnitt 10 an einer gegenüber den Anstossstolzen 11, 12 liegenden Stirnseite 13 eine Aufnahme 14 auf. In die Aufnahme 14 ist das Ventil 6 eingesetzt. Die Aufnahme 14 weist einen zylindrischen Querschnitt auf. Das Ventil 6 weist weiter einen zylindrischen Lagerabschnitt 35 auf, welcher in die Aufnahme 14 entsprechend einragt. Weiter ist in der gezeigten Ausführungsform die Aufnahme 14 für das Ventil 6 als Unterbruch der Gehäusewand im Umlenkabschnitt 9 ausgebildet. Das Ventil 6 wird dabei als Teil der den Umlenkabschnitt 9 umgebenden Wandung in die Aufnahme eingesetzt.Furthermore, the main housing section 10 has a receptacle 14 on an end face 13 lying opposite the abutment studs 11 , 12 . In the recording 14, the valve 6 is used. The receptacle 14 has a cylindrical cross section. The valve 6 has further a cylindrical bearing portion 35 which protrudes into the receptacle 14 accordingly. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown, the receptacle 14 for the valve 6 is designed as an interruption in the housing wall in the deflection section 9 . The valve 6 is inserted into the receptacle as part of the wall surrounding the deflection section 9 .

Weiter weist der Hauptgehäuseabschnitt 10 einen gegenüber dem Bereich, in welchem das Ventil 6 liegt, verjüngten Querschnitt 15 auf. Der verjüngte Querschnitt 15 bildet einen entsprechenden dünneren Querschnitt, so dass das Spülventil 1 an die Einbausituation besser angepasst ist. Die Verjüngung des verjüngten Querschnitts 15 ist in der Figur 3 besonders gut erkennbar dargestellt. Die beiden Anschlussstutzen 11, 12 erstrecken sich vom verjüngten Querschnitt 15 weg. Der Bereich des Hauptgehäuseabschnitt 10, in welchem das Ventil 6 liegt, ist entsprechend gegenüber dem Querschnitt 15 mit einem grösseren Querschnitt ausgebildet.Furthermore, the main housing section 10 has a cross section 15 that is tapered in relation to the area in which the valve 6 is located. The tapered cross section 15 forms a correspondingly thinner cross section, so that the flushing valve 1 is better adapted to the installation situation. The taper of the tapered cross-section 15 is in the figure 3 shown particularly clearly. The two connecting pieces 11 , 12 extend away from the tapered cross section 15 . The area of the main housing section 10 in which the valve 6 is located is correspondingly designed with a larger cross section than the cross section 15 .

Von den Figuren 1, 2 und 5 kann weiterhin erkannt werden, dass das Spülventil 1 weiterhin ein Absperrventil 16 aufweist. Das Absperrventil 16 ragt in der gezeigten Ausführungsform in den ersten Teilabschnitt 20 in den Umlenkabschnitt 9 ein und kann den ersten Teilabschnitt 20 entsprechend absperren, sodass kein Wasser zum Ventil 6 geführt wird. Das Absperrventil 16 kann bei Wartungsarbeiten entsprechend gesperrt werden, sodass das Ventil 6 wasserlos wird und im Rahmen von Revisionsarbeiten ausgetauscht werden kann. Mit dem Absperrventil 6 kann aber auch eine Drosselung des Spülwasserstroms erreicht werden.Of the figures 1 , 2 and 5 it can also be seen that the flushing valve 1 also has a shut-off valve 16 . In the embodiment shown, the shut-off valve 16 protrudes into the first subsection 20 in the deflection section 9 and can correspondingly shut off the first subsection 20 so that no water is routed to the valve 6 . The shut-off valve 16 can be locked accordingly during maintenance work, so that the valve 6 becomes waterless and can be replaced as part of inspection work. The shut-off valve 6 can also be used to throttle the flushing water flow.

Weiter weist das Spülventil 1 ein separat zum Spülventil 1 ausgebildetes Anschlusselement 17 auf, welches mit dem auslassseitigen Anschlussstutzen 12 verbindbar ist. Der auslassseitige Anschlussstutzen 12 weist in der gezeigten Ausführungsform ein Aussengewinde 18 auf. Das Anschlusselement 17 weist weiterhin ein Innengewinde 19 auf. Über die Gewinde 18, 19 lässt sich eine Verbindung zwischen dem Abschlusselement 17 und dem Gehäuse 2 herstellen.Furthermore, the scavenging valve 1 has a connecting element 17 which is designed separately from the scavenging valve 1 and which can be connected to the connecting piece 12 on the outlet side. The connection piece 12 on the outlet side has an external thread 18 in the embodiment shown. The connecting element 17 also has an internal thread 19 . A connection between the closing element 17 and the housing 2 can be established via the threads 18 , 19 .

Aussenseitig umfasst das Anschlusselement 17 eine Dichtmanschette 30. Über die Dichtmanschette 30 kann das Anschlusselement 17 gegenüber einem Sanitärartikel entsprechend abgedichtet werden.On the outside, the connection element 17 includes a sealing collar 30. The connection element 17 can be connected to a sanitary article via the sealing collar 30 be sealed accordingly.

Das Anschlusselement 17 kann weiterhin kürzbar ausgebildet sein. In diesem Fall ist die Dichtmanschette 30 vor einer entsprechenden Kürzung des Anschlusselementes 17 entsprechend zu entfernen, sodass der Bereich, in welchem die Dichtmanschette 30 liegt, gekürzt werden kann. Anschliessend kann die Dichtmanschette 30 erneut montiert werden.The connection element 17 can also be shortened. In this case, the sealing sleeve 30 is to be removed accordingly before a corresponding shortening of the connection element 17, so that the area in which the sealing sleeve 30 lies can be shortened. The sealing collar 30 can then be reassembled.

Die Figur 4 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung durch die erste Achse A7 und die zweite Achse A8. Hierbei kann gut erkannt werden, wie die beiden Achsen A7 und A8 kollinear zueinander verlaufen. Der Umlenkabschnitt 9 ist in dieser Ansicht in Richtung der Glattoberfläche von derselben sich wegerstreckend ausgerichtet.the figure 4 shows a sectional view through the first axis A7 and the second axis A8. Here it can be clearly seen how the two axes A7 and A8 run collinear to one another. In this view, the deflection section 9 is oriented in the direction of the smooth surface, extending away from the same.

Von der Figur 3 kann weiterhin erkannt werden, dass im einlassseitigen Kanalabschnitt 7 ein Rückflussverhinderer 33 angeordnet ist.Of the figure 3 it can also be seen that a backflow preventer 33 is arranged in the inlet-side channel section 7 .

Das Spülventil 1 weist hier weiter Steuerkabel 34 auf, über welche das Ventil 6 angesteuert werden kann.The flushing valve 1 also has a control cable 34 here, via which the valve 6 can be controlled.

Die Figur 6 zeigt eine erste Ausführungsform einer Urinalanordnung mit einem Spülventil 1 nach den Figuren 1 bis 5 und einem Urinal 24. Das Urinal 24 weist einen Aufnahmeraum 25 auf, der eine Abflussöffnung 26 und eine oberhalb der Abschlussöffnung 26 liegende Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung 27 aufweist. Gegenüber des Aufnahmeraums 25 weist das Urinal 24 einen Hohlraum 32 auf.the figure 6 shows a first embodiment of a urinal arrangement with a flush valve 1 according to FIG Figures 1 to 5 and a urinal 24. The urinal 24 has a receiving space 25 which has a drainage opening 26 and a flushing water outlet opening 27 located above the closing opening 26. The urinal 24 has a cavity 32 opposite the receiving space 25 .

Das Ventil 7 ragt mit der Auslassöffnung 5, hier über das Anschlusselement 17, in die Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung 27 ein. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform kann gut erkannt werden, dass die Urinale typischerweise im Bereich der Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung 27 einen Randbereich 31 aufweisen, welche sich in den hinter den Aufnahmeraum 25 liegenden Hohlraum 32 erstreckt. Aufgrund des Umlenkabschnittes 9 kann nun dieser Randbereich 31 umgangen werden bzw. das Ventil 6 liegt dabei derart, dass dieses nicht mit dem Randbereich 31 kollidiert. Das heisst, das Ventil 6 kommt an einer Lage im Hohlraum 32 zu liegen, welche entsprechend frei ist, um das Ventil aufzunehmen.The valve 7 protrudes with the outlet opening 5, here via the connection element 17, into the flushing water outlet opening 27. The embodiment shown clearly shows that the urinals typically have an edge area 31 in the area of the flushing water outlet opening 27 , which extends into the cavity 32 located behind the receiving space 25 . Because of the deflection section 9 , this edge area 31 can now be bypassed or the valve 6 is positioned in such a way that it does not collide with the edge area 31 . That is, the valve 6 comes to rest at a position in the cavity 32 which is correspondingly free to accommodate the valve.

Rückseitig wird das Urinal 24 durch eine Montageebene ME entsprechend begrenzt. Das Spülventil ist dabei derart angeordnet, dass ausschliesslich die Einlassöffnung 4 beziehungsweise der einlassseitige Anschlussstutzen 11 ausserhalb des durch die Montageebene ME begrenzten Rückraums 32 liegt. Die Montageebene ME wird typischerweise durch eine Wand vorgegeben.At the back, the urinal 24 is correspondingly delimited by an assembly level ME. The scavenging valve is arranged in such a way that only the inlet opening 4 or the connection piece 11 on the inlet side lies outside of the rear space 32 delimited by the assembly plane ME. The assembly level ME is typically defined by a wall.

Mit Blick auf die Figur 6 kann zusammengefasst werden, dass das erfindungsgemässe Spülventil den Vorteil hat, dass das Ventil 6, welches vergleichsweise grossen Einbauraum benötigt, derart im Hohlraum 32 liegt, dass das Spülventil 1 als Ganzes im Wesentlichen vollständig im Hohlraum 32 liegt. In diesem Zusammenhang ist im Wesentlichen vollständig so zu verstehen, dass ausschliesslich der einlassseitige Kanalabschnitt 7 beziehungsweise der einlassseitige Anschlussstutzen 11 aus dem entsprechenden Rückraum 32 ragt.With view on figure 6 it can be summarized that the flushing valve according to the invention has the advantage that the valve 6, which requires a comparatively large amount of installation space, is located in the cavity 32 in such a way that the flushing valve 1 as a whole is essentially completely located in the cavity 32. In this context, it is essentially to be understood that only the duct section 7 on the inlet side or the connection piece 11 on the inlet side protrudes from the corresponding rear space 32 .

Ein Verfahren zur Montage einer Urinalanordnung nach der ersten Ausführungsform ist dadurch charakterisiert, dass in einem ersten Schritt, die Spülventil mit der Einlassöffnung 4 mit einer gebäudeseitigen Wasseranschlussstelle verbunden wird, und dass in einem zweiten Schritt das Urinal montiert, wobei während der Montage des Urinals die Auslassöffnung 5 in die Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung 27 zu liegen kommt.A method for assembling a urinal arrangement according to the first embodiment is characterized in that, in a first step, the flushing valve is connected to the inlet opening 4 with a water connection point on the building side, and that in a second step the urinal is assembled, with during the assembly of the urinal the Outlet opening 5 comes to rest in the flushing water outlet opening 27 .

In der Figur 7 wird eine weitere Ausführungsform der Urinalanordnung gezeigt. Die Urinalanordnung gemäss der Figur 7 umfasst ein Spülventil gemäss obiger Beschreibung und ein Urinal 24 ebenfalls gemäss obiger Beschreibung. Weiter ist ein separater Sprühkopf 28 in die Spülwasseraustrittsöffnung 27 eingesetzt. Der Sprühkopf 28 steht mit einem Schlauch 29 mit der Auslassöffnung 5 des Spülventils 1 in Verbindung. Das Spülventil 1 liegt in der gezeigten Ausführungsform an anderer Stelle im Vergleich mit der ersten Ausführungsform, nämlich im unteren Bereich. In der Gesamtschau hat diese Anordnung leichte Nachteile gegenüber der Anordnung vom Anspruch 1. Diese Anordnung wird aber bei entsprechenden mit Sprühkopf zu betreibenden Urinalen eingesetzt. Der Hauptvorteil ist, dass für beide Anordnungen gemäss der Figuren 6 und 7 das Gleiche Spülventil 1 eingesetzt werden kann.

The urinal arrangement according to figure 7 includes a flush valve as described above and a urinal 24 also as described above. A separate spray head 28 is also inserted into the flushing water outlet opening 27 . The spray head 28 is connected to the outlet opening 5 of the flushing valve 1 by a hose 29 . In the embodiment shown, the flushing valve 1 is located at a different point in comparison with the first embodiment, namely in the lower area. Overall, this arrangement has slight disadvantages compared to the arrangement of claim 1. However, this arrangement is used in corresponding urinals to be operated with a spray head. The main advantage is that for both arrangements according to the figures 6 and 7 the same flushing valve 1 can be used.
