Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sanitary fitting with a fluid outlet, an electronically actuated actuator which is arranged upstream of the fluid outlet, a sensor which is connected to the valve, and a power supply for at least the sensor.
  • the fluid outlet can be, for example, a water outlet or soap outlet.
  • the actuator is arranged upstream in front of the fluid outlet, so that the actuator can be used to electronically trigger and/or stop the output of a fluid from the fluid outlet.
  • the actuator can, for example, be designed as a shut-off valve with which the fluid flow can be prevented.
  • a shut-off valve designed for example as a solenoid valve, can be arranged in a cold water or hot water line leading to the fluid outlet.
  • the sanitary fitting comprises a mixing unit, in which case a shut-off valve can be arranged downstream of the mixing unit in a mixed water line.
  • the mixing unit is electronic is operable.
  • the actuator can also be designed as a pump with which, for example, soap or soap foam is conveyed to the fluid outlet.
  • the sanitary fitting also includes a sensor with which the fluid flow through the fluid outlet can be triggered.
  • the sensor can be designed, for example, as a contactless sensor or as a sensor triggered by touch or as a switch.
  • an energy supply is provided.
  • the electrical energy can, for example, be provided externally from a house connection, in which case a power supply unit is arranged in particular within a fitting body of the sanitary fitting.
  • the energy supply is provided by a battery or an electric accumulator. In this case it is preferably provided that the battery/accumulator is arranged within a fitting body.
  • the invention particularly relates to sanitary fittings in which the fluid outlet, the electronically actuated actuator, the sensor and the energy supply are arranged in a fitting body.
  • the sanitary fitting is designed in particular as a table-top sanitary fitting or as a wall-mounted sanitary fitting.
  • the energy supply is arranged as an accumulator or battery in the fitting body, it is desirable that these can be easily replaced.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a sanitary fitting that can be easily retrofitted and/or maintained.
  • the task is solved in particular by a sanitary fitting with the features mentioned at the beginning, in which the energy supply is at least indirectly connected to the sensor via at least one detachable electrical plug connection.
  • each electrical plug connection can also be easily released subsequently, so that the components connected to one another via the electrical plug connection can easily be electrically separated from one another.
  • each electrical plug connection includes a plug and a coupling, which are preferably each arranged at one cable end, with the cable leading to the associated component. If the plug connection includes plugs and couplings arranged at cable ends, it is particularly easy to replace or retrofit components due to the flexible alignment of the plug connection.
  • the basic idea of the invention is that the electronically interconnected components of a sanitary fitting are connected to one another via an electrical plug connection that can also be easily detached later, so that, for example, a power supply designed as an accumulator or battery can be easily replaced later.
  • an easily detachable electrical plug connection also enables additional modules to be retrofitted.
  • the sanitary fitting includes a communication module, such as a Bluetooth module or WLAN module, with which data can be transmitted wirelessly.
  • the power supply, the sensor and the communication module are connected to one another via detachable electrical plug connections. Not only energy can then be transmitted via the detachable electrical plug connections, but also signals.
  • a trigger signal can be transmitted from the sensor to the electrically actuated actuator, wherein the communication module can include an electronic unit with which the parameters of the sanitary fitting can be logged. For example, it could be recorded how frequently the plumbing fixture is used. This logged data can be transmitted to a higher-level control unit using the communication module.
  • the communication module can also be used to receive signals on the basis of which the actuator is actuated.
  • the senor is connected directly to the actuator by means of a detachable electrical plug connection.
  • a detachable electrical plug connection is formed between a power supply unit arranged in the fitting body and at least one further component.
  • the energy supply which is designed in particular as a battery or accumulator, is connected directly to the sensor by means of a detachable electrical plug connection.
  • the energy supply which is designed in particular as an accumulator or battery, is connected directly to the communication module via a detachable electrical plug connection and that the communication module is connected directly to the sensor via a detachable electrical plug connection.
  • the invention particularly relates to sanitary fittings in which the detachable electrical plug connections are arranged in the fitting body.
  • a cover cap is provided, which is detachably arranged on the fitting body.
  • the cover cap can be easily removed from the fitting body so that the plug connections inside the fitting body are accessible.
  • the cover cap is arranged on an upper side of the fitting body.
  • the cover cap is in particular flat and preferably extends over almost the entire upper side of the fitting body.
  • the ones in the Figures 1 and 2 Sanitary fitting shown comprises a fitting body 7, in which an actuator designed as a valve 2 is arranged.
  • the valve 2 is arranged in a line leading to a fluid outlet 1 and is designed as a shut-off valve. When the valve 2 is open, water flows through the fluid outlet 1, with the flow of water being prevented when the valve 2 is closed.
  • the sanitary fitting also includes a sensor 3.
  • the sensor 3 is set up to detect a user's hand without contact and, if the hand is detected, to open the valve 2.
  • the sanitary fitting also includes an energy supply 4 designed as an accumulator.
  • the sanitary fitting also includes a communication module 5.
  • valve 2 In the assembled state, the valve 2, the sensor 3, the communication module 5 and the energy supply 4 are arranged in the fitting body 7, the fitting body 7 being closed on its top by a removable cap.
  • a cable is attached to the power supply 4, at the end of which a coupling 6.1b is formed.
  • Two cables are formed on the communication module 5, at the end of which a plug 6.1a or a coupling 6.2b is formed. When assembled, the plug 6.1a of the communication module 5 is plugged into the coupling 6.1b of the power supply 4.
  • the sensor 3 also has two cables, at the end of which a plug 6.2a or a coupling 6.3b is formed. To create a detachable electrical plug connection, the plug 6.2a of the sensor 3 is inserted into the coupling 6.2b of the communication module 5.
  • a cable is also attached to the valve 2, at the end of which a plug 6.3a is arranged.
  • the plug 6.3a of the valve 2 is inserted into the coupling 6.3b of the sensor 3, so that a detachable electrical plug connection is formed.
  • the senor 3 is connected directly to the power supply 4 by plugging the plug 6.1a into the coupling 6.1b.
  • the sanitary fitting equipped in the illustrated embodiment is to be retrofitted with a communication module 5, for example, then only the electrical plug connection between the plug 6.1a of the sensor 3 and the coupling 6.1b of the power supply 4 has to be released.
  • the communication module 5 can then simply be connected to the power supply 4 and to the sensor 3, as shown in Figure 3 is shown.
