Definitions
- the invention relates to a jet regulator that can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, with a jet regulator housing in which a jet splitter is provided which has splitter openings for dividing the water flowing through into individual jets, and with at least one insert part, which has a grid structure made up of two parallel arrays Has webs that touch or intersect at intersection points.
- Jet regulators are already known in various designs. They are mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting in order to shape the escaping water into a homogeneous, non-splashing and possibly also pearly soft outlet jet, i.e. mixed with ambient air.
- a jet regulator of the type mentioned at the outset has already been created, which has a cartridge-shaped jet regulator housing which, from the inflow side, into a sleeve-shaped one up to an insertion stop
- Outlet mouthpiece can be used, which outlet mouthpiece carries a connection thread on its sleeve circumference on the inside or outside circumference side, which can be screwed to a mating thread on the water outlet of the sanitary outlet fitting (cf. DE 20215 273 U1).
- the previously known jet regulator has an attachment screen on the inflow-side end face of its jet regulator housing, which has to filter out any dirt particles or limescale residues that may be carried along in the inflowing water.
- a jet splitter is provided inside the housing of the jet regulator housing with splitter openings that pass through the housing Divide flowing water into individual jets.
- a negative pressure is generated on the downstream side of the jet splitter, which, if necessary and with a corresponding design of the jet regulator housing, can be used to suck in ambient air into the interior of the housing.
- insert parts are inserted into the jet regulator housing, each of which has a lattice or network structure of webs crossing each other at intersections, the webs of each of these insert parts being arranged in a common plane running transversely to the flow direction.
- the outflow-side end face of the previously known jet regulator is formed by a flow straightener with a large number of guide openings, each of which can have a greater longitudinal extent compared to the clear diameter of these guide openings.
- the inventive solution to this problem consists in the jet regulator of the type mentioned in particular in that the groups are arranged in two planes offset in the longitudinal direction of the jet regulator, that the mutually parallel webs of an inflow-side group have a round or rounded cross-section, and that the webs an outflow-side group have a flattening on their inflow side and are rounded on their outflow side.
- the jet regulator according to the invention can also be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting in order to shape the water exiting there into a homogeneous and non-splashing outlet jet.
- the jet regulator according to the invention has a jet regulator housing in which a jet splitter with splitter openings is provided, which has to divide the water flowing through the jet splitter into a plurality of individual jets.
- a jet splitter with splitter openings is provided, which has to divide the water flowing through the jet splitter into a plurality of individual jets.
- at least one insert part with a lattice structure of two sets of parallel webs that touch each other at intersections is inserted into the jet regulator housing of the jet regulator according to the invention or cut.
- the invention provides that the web panels are arranged in two planes offset in the longitudinal direction of the jet regulator. Since the webs arranged in the different planes are supported against one another, the webs provided in the individual planes can also be made comparatively thin. Since the parallel webs of a inflow coulter have a round or rounded web cross-section, the effluent water is first well compture in the formed through the various webs mesh S of the at least passed an insert part, without the homogeneity of the emergent from the inventive jet regulator water to very is affected.
- the water then reaches the area of the set of webs arranged on the downstream side of this at least one insert part. Since these webs arranged on the outflow side have a flattening on their inflow side, strong braking of the water is promoted even if these webs have a comparatively small diameter. Since these webs are rounded on their outflow side, a homogeneous exit of the water flowing through is promoted. Since the at least one insert part can also be produced as a plastic injection molded part and does not have to be produced from a metal screen even with a filigree lattice structure, the production of the jet regulator according to the invention and, if necessary, subsequent recycling of its components is easy and inexpensive.
- the assembly of the jet regulator according to the invention and the insertion of the insert part into its jet regulator housing is also made considerably easier.
- it is useful if the flattening of the webs provided in the outflow-side coulter and their rounded outflow side are parallel in the direction of flow mutually arranged web walls are connected.
- the web walls in the flow direction have a longitudinal extension that is greater than the diameter of the outflow-side rounding.
- Such an embodiment of the jet regulator according to the invention can be produced particularly easily if the tool parting plane of the injection molding tool used to produce the at least one insert part is arranged approximately in the plane defined by the flattening.
- the lattice structure can easily be formed in the at least one insert part in that one of the two tool halves of the injection molding tool used forms a flat surface, while the profiles of the webs are formed by recesses in the other tool half. This has the advantage that the two tool halves no longer have to be aligned with one another with the same accuracy, since the problem is avoided that the two half-shells, which form the overall profile of a web, could be offset from one another transversely to the tool separation direction.
- the lattice structure of a fitting member is bordered by an outer ring of at least, and if the web ends of this grid structure forming webs are integrally formed inner circumference of the outer ring.
- the simple and inexpensive production of the at least one insert part used in the jet regulator according to the invention is promoted if the at least one insert part is produced as a plastic injection-molded part.
- the flattening of the webs provided in the outflow-side coulter is a tool parting plane of a tool Defined production of the at least one insert part used injection molding tool.
- the jet splitter is designed as a diffuser which has a pot-shaped diffuser insert, the pot bottom of which is designed as a baffle and deflection surface for the inflowing water and that on the peripheral wall its pot shape in the circumferential direction has spaced apart openings which open into an annular gap.
- the water flowing to this jet splitter is thus deflected at the baffle and deflection surface of the diffuser insert in the radial direction to the sides of the cup-shaped diffuser insert in order to flow there through the openings provided on the circumferential wall of the diffuser insert into the annular gap following in the flow direction.
- a particularly simple and advantageous embodiment according to the invention provides that the diffuser insert of the jet splitter can be inserted into a diffuser ring and that the annular gap is formed between the diffuser insert and the diffuser ring of the diffuser.
- the outflow-side end edge is arranged on the outer ring of the at least one insert part in the flow direction below the plane formed by the lattice structure.
- this outflow-side end edge on the outer ring of the at least one insert part is used at the same time as a spacer relative to the insert part following in the flow direction or other components of the jet regulator according to the invention following in the flow direction.
- the jet regulator according to the invention can be designed both as a ventilated and as an unventilated jet regulator.
- the aerator according to the invention is to be designed as a ventilated aerator, it is advantageous if the aerator housing has at least one ventilation opening on its housing circumference in a cross-sectional plane arranged directly below the jet splitter through which ambient air can be sucked into the interior of the aerator housing.
- this ambient air is mixed with the water flowing through the jet regulator housing to form a pearly soft outlet jet.
- a central spacer is provided on the outflow side of the at least one insert part, the outflow side of which and preferably with the outflow side end edge of the outer ring approximately one Level arranged face on the Lattice structure of an insert part following in the direction of flow rests on it.
- Fig. 1 is shown in a side view
- Jet regulator which can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, in order to shape the water emerging there into a homogeneous and non-splashing water jet,
- FIG. 2 shows the jet regulator from FIG. 1 in a longitudinal section through section plane II-II from FIG. 1, with at least two insert parts being inserted in the interior of the jet regulator housing, each having a lattice structure made up of two sets of intersecting webs,
- FIGS. 1 and 2 shows one of the insert parts of the jet regulator shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and
- FIGS. 1 and 2 shows the insert part of the jet regulator depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2, already shown in FIG. 3 and cut longitudinally here in regions.
- a jet regulator 1 is shown.
- the jet regulator 1 can be mounted on the water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting, not shown here, in order to shape the water exiting there into a homogeneous and non-splashing outlet jet.
- the jet regulator 1 has a Jet regulator housing 2, in which a jet splitter 3 with splitter openings 17 is provided, which has to divide the water flowing through the jet splitter 3 into a plurality of individual jets.
- the turbulence and mixing of the individual jets with ambient air in the jet regulator housing 2, of the jet regulator 1 at least one insert 5 with a grating STRUCTURE 6 parallel from two sets webs 7, 8 inserted that adjoin each other
- the lattice structure 6 of these insert parts 5 optionally also finely divided or finely meshed, as was previously possible with the help of wire meshes made of metal mesh, it is provided that the web groups formed from the webs 7, 8 in two, in the longitudinal direction of the jet regulator staggered levels are arranged. Since the webs 7, 8 arranged in the different planes are supported against one another, the webs 7, 8 provided in the individual planes can also be made comparatively thin.
- the inflowing water is initially well guided into the lattice structure 6 formed by the various webs 7, 8, without the homogeneity of the water exiting the jet regulator 1 being impaired too much becomes.
- the jet regulator housing 2 the water then reaches the area of the flock of webs 8 of the at least one insert part 5 arranged on the outflow side. Since these webs 8 arranged on the outflow side have a flattened area 10 on their inflow side, the water itself is strongly decelerated favored when these webs 8 have a comparatively small diameter. Since the webs 8 are rounded on their outflow side, a homogeneous exit of the water passing through is significantly promoted.
- the insert parts 5 can also be manufactured as plastic injection molded parts and do not have to be made from a metal screen even with a filigree lattice structure, the manufacture of the jet regulator 1 and its insert parts 5 as well as subsequent recycling of the components is easy and inexpensive.
- the web walls 12, 13 have a longitudinal extent in the throughflow direction P which is larger than the diameter of the rounding provided on the outflow side 11 of the webs 8.
- the intersecting webs 7, 8 of each insert part 5 are integrally connected to one another, the webs 7, 8 at their
- Intersection nodes 9 touch one another in such a way that the flattening 10 of the webs 8 provided in the outflow-side set is approximately in the longitudinal center plane of the inflow-side Flock forming webs 7 is arranged.
- the webs 7, 8 are offset from one another by half a diameter of the webs 7, for example, in the different planes, and the flattening 10 is formed, for example, along a secant of an otherwise semicircular profile or cross section of the webs 8.
- the grid S corture 6 of the insert members is delimited 5 by an outer ring 14, wherein the web ends of this grid structure 6 forming webs 7, integrally formed inner circumference of the outer rings 14.
- the flattened area 10 of the webs 8 provided in the outflow-side share can also define a tool parting plane of an injection molding tool used to manufacture the at least one insert part 5.
- the insert parts 5 and preferably also the other components of the jet regulator 1 are manufactured as plastic injection molded parts.
- the jet splitter 3 of the jet regulator 1 can be designed as a perforated plate which has splitter openings and which is arranged in a plate plane oriented transversely to the throughflow opening Pfl.
- the jet splitter 3 is designed as a diffuser which has a pot-shaped diffuser insert 15, the pot bottom of which is designed as a baffle and deflection surface 16 for the incoming water.
- This pot-shaped diffuser insert 15 has on the circumferential wall of its pot shape on separating openings 17 which are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction and which open into an annular gap 18.
- This annular gap 18 narrows in the direction of flow of the water flowing through, so that a negative pressure is generated on the outflow side of this jet splitter 3.
- the diffuser insert 15 of the jet splitter 3 is inserted into a diffuser ring 19 which delimits the annular gap 18 between itself and the diffuser insert 15. From a comparison of Figures 3 and 4 it is clear that the downstream-side end edge 20 gagture 6 plane formed is arranged on the insert parts 5 in the flow Pfl below through the grids S. This outflow-side end edge 20 thus forms a spacer which keeps the insert part 5 in question at a distance from the insert part 5 following in the flow direction or from another subsequent component of the jet regulator 1.
- the jet regulator 1 can be designed as a ventilated jet regulator or so-called jet aerator, which has ventilation openings on the housing circumference of its jet regulator housing, through which ventilation openings the ambient air can be sucked into the interior of the jet regulator housing. This ambient air is then mixed with the water coming from the jet splitter in a mixing zone arranged on the downstream side of the jet splitter.
- the jet regulator 1 is designed as an unventilated jet regulator.
- This flow straightener has a multiplicity of guide openings 23 which have a greater longitudinal extent compared to the clear opening cross section.
- guide openings 23 In these guide openings, the water swirled inside the housing of the jet regulator housing 2 is realigned and homogenized so that the water emerging from the jet regulator 1 can emerge as a homogeneous and non-splashing water jet.
- a flow rate regulator 24 is inserted into the inside of the pot-shaped diffuser insert 15.
- This flow rate regulator regulates the flow rate independently of the pressure to a specified value.
- the flow rate regulator 24 has an annular throttle body 25 which delimits a control gap 26 between itself and at least one regulating profile provided on an opposite, inner or outer circumferential wall. Under the pressure of the water flowing through, the throttle body 25 made of elastic material can be molded into the control profile in such a way that the control gap 26 of the flow rate regulator 24 narrows as a function of the water pressure.
- the flattened area 10 provided on the webs 8 on the outflow side represents a third of the radius of the overall approximately circular profile shape of these webs 8. It has been shown that in the case of flattened areas 10 which are arranged on a larger radius, undesirable excessive splashing of the outflowing water may be possible. In contrast, the flats 10, which in a smaller radius are spaced from the center of the webs 8, no significant improvement, but rather it is an additional mechanical weakening of the grid S gagture 6 to be feared.
- two insert parts 5 are preferably arranged directly one behind the other in the direction of flow. It is not necessary here to align the grid structures 6 of these insert parts 5 with one another or with the jet regulator housing 3. Since the lattice STRUCTURES the insert members are held 5 through the outer ring 14 of the insert parts at a distance 6, between the grid STRUCTURES 6 of these insert parts 5 formed a clearance, which allows a widening of the gagture through the inflow-side lattice S passing water and this flowing through Water can thus calm down to a good spray pattern.
