- the present invention relates to a device for a sanitary facility and a sanitary facility.
- the sanitary facility can be designed in the manner of a shower, for example.
- Such showers can be used by people in sanitary facilities, such as bathrooms, in particular for showering or for personal hygiene.
- a liquid in particular water
- a shower head When sanitary facilities are used, a liquid, in particular water, is dispensed, for example, via a shower head, with the liquid then being discharged via a drain opening in a floor of the sanitary facility.
- Sanitary facilities can consume a lot of liquid, which is particularly problematic in regions with a water shortage. Furthermore, the high liquid consumption can result in high costs.
- the object of the invention is therefore that described with reference to the prior art
- a sanitary facility is to be specified whose device can reduce the liquid consumption of the sanitary facility.
- the sanitary facility can be, for example, a shower, shower base, shower tray, bathtub, sink or washbasin. Furthermore, the sanitary facility can be used by a user or a person, in particular for personal hygiene and/or for therapeutic use. For this purpose, the sanitary facility can be arranged in a sanitary room, such as a bathroom. Furthermore, the sanitary facility can also be used in systems with bathing facilities, such as saunas, whirlpools, swimming pools, etc.
- the sanitary facility can have at least one liquid outlet for dispensing a liquid, in particular water, such as a shower, overhead shower, side shower, sanitary fitting, a mousseur, jet former and/or an outlet opening.
- a liquid in particular water, such as a shower, overhead shower, side shower, sanitary fitting, a mousseur, jet former and/or an outlet opening.
- the liquid can leave the sanitary facility as waste water, in particular via a drain opening.
- the drain opening can be arranged, for example, in a floor of the sanitary facility, the shower base, the shower tray, the bathtub, the sink or the washbasin. Furthermore, the drain opening can be formed on a wall of the sanitary facility.
- the device proposed here is particularly suitable or set up to interact with such a discharge opening.
- the device for the sanitary facility has a waste water inlet for the waste water, a first waste water outlet for the waste water and a second waste water outlet for the waste water.
- the waste water inlet, the first waste water outlet and/or the second waste water outlet can be formed on a housing of the device.
- the waste water from the sanitary facility can in particular enter the device or the housing of the device via the waste water inlet.
- the waste water inlet can have a channel with an opening for the waste water, it being possible for a sieve or grid to be arranged in the opening, for example.
- the waste water inlet can be connected to the device or the housing of the device via a (flexible) hose line and/or via a (rigid) pipeline.
- the device has at least one cleaning device for cleaning the waste water.
- the cleaning device can be connected to the waste water inlet via a liquid line, for example.

- solid particles, such as sand or hair can be separated from the waste water by means of the filter.
- the device has at least one sensor for detecting the degree of contamination of the waste water.
- the sensor is arranged in particular in and/or on the liquid line.
- the sensor (in particular in a flow direction of the waste water through the liquid line) is arranged downstream of the cleaning device.
- the sen sor can be designed, for example, in the manner of a conductivity sensor, optical sensor or pH sensor.
- the sensor can be arranged, for example, in a liquid line of the device, so that the waste water can contact the sensor. Farther on, the sensor can be arranged behind a pane of glass that separates the waste water in particular from the sensor.
- the device has a valve with which the waste water can be routed to the first waste water outlet or to the second waste water outlet, depending on the degree of contamination detected.
- the valve is set up to be adjusted (automatically) based on provided information, data and/or measured values of the sensor such that the flow of waste water is to be fed (partially or completely) to the first and/or second waste water outlet.
- the valve is preferably to be operated in such a way that the waste water can be fed to the first waste water outlet when the degree of contamination of the waste water is below a (predeterminable or possibly calculated) threshold value, and with which the waste water can be fed to the second waste water outlet when the Pollution level of the waste water reaches or exceeds the threshold.
- the valve can be designed in particular in the manner of a multi-way valve.
- the valve can have an inlet for the waste water, a first outlet for the waste water and a second outlet for the waste water.
- the inlet of the valve can be connected to the liquid line, for example.
- the first outflow of the valve can be connected to the first waste water outlet of the device via a second liquid line and/or the second outflow of the valve can be connected to the second waste water outlet of the device via a third liquid line.
- the valve can be arranged downstream of the sensor.
- the valve can be arranged in the device or in the housing of the device.
- the valve can be actuated or controlled in particular by a controller of the device.
- the controller can include a microprocessor, for example. Furthermore, the controller can be connected (data-carrying) to the sensor.
- the threshold value for the degree of soiling can be specified and/or adjusted. The threshold value can in particular be a value up to which reuse of the waste water by the sanitary facility and/or at least one other water consumer is possible and/or desired.
- the first waste water outlet of the device can be connected in particular to a return line for the waste water, with which the waste water can be routed to the sanitary facility and/or the at least one other water consumer. The water consumption of the sanitary facility can be reduced by reusing the waste water.
- the second waste water outlet can, for example, be connectable or connected to a waste water line, via which the waste water can be fed to a public waste water disposal network, for example.
- the waste water inlet can be designed in the manner of a drainage channel.
- the drainage channel can be formed in and/or on the device or the housing of the device.
- the drainage channel can have a slit-shaped opening for the waste water.
- the slit-shaped opening can, for example, have a groove length of 10 cm (centimeters) to 150 cm and/or a groove width of 0.1 cm to 5 cm.
- the channel length and/or the channel width are measured in a mounted state of the device, in particular in a horizontal direction.
- the device can be arranged in a drain opening of the sanitary facility.
- the device can be plugged into the drain opening in particular.
- the device can be fastened in the outflow opening, for example by means of a snap-in connection.
- the device is designed in particular in such a way that the device completely fills the outflow opening. This can mean in particular that the device is designed in such a way that there is no gap between the device and the outflow opening through which the waste water can flow out.
- the device can have a skimmer.
- the skimmer can in particular be a device by which foam carried along in the waste water can be separated. In this way, in particular, the detection of the degree of contamination of the waste water by the sensor can be improved.
- the skimmer is arranged in particular upstream of the sensor, in particular in and/or on the liquid line.
- the cleaning device of the device can be designed as a skimmer.
- the sensor or the valve can be removed from the device via the waste water inlet.
- the cleaning device, the skimmer, the sensor and/or the valve can be removed from the device via the waste water inlet of the device. The removal can take place in particular for maintenance purposes.
- the device for the cleaning device, the skimmer, the sensor and/or the valve can have at least one drawer, via which the cleaning device, the skimmer, the sensor and/or the valve can be pulled out of the waste water inlet and/or into the waste water inlet are retractable.
- the cleaning device, the skimmer, the sensor and/or the valve can be pulled out of the waste water inlet and/or into the waste water inlet are retractable.
