SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an aqueous toilet (shower-WC, ie bidet shower) having a shower function.

Description

DESCRIPTION DUS-WC AND BOILER WITH CONTINUOUS WATER TRANSITION HEATER This invention relates to a water toilet (shower-WC, ie bidet shower) with a shower function.

Such devices have been known for many years and in recent years more and more in Europe. attracts attention. Advances in the technique have also made hot water in many other respects. Applies to preparation. For this, mainly, namely the heated hot water reservoir and The continuous water flow heater is known, which has specific advantages and disadvantages.

A shower-WC is known from state-of-the-art EP 2 357 423 A1, where a boiler energy It is combined with a continuous water flow heater as a reservoir. here both It is connected in series and serves to extend the shower time at a certain temperature. For this The boiler produces hot water before showering and uninterrupted water flow during showering. The water heated by the heater is added, so that the heat content of the boiler will be displayed in a short time. it doesn't end. Meanwhile, at the outlet of the boiler, the relative high temperature is mixed with cold water, thus desired hot water is set. This document conforms to the title concept of claim 1 and seen as closest to the state of the art. The task underlying this invention is a thought. Flexibility in use with the combination of WCiyi boiler and continuous water flow heater In the context of shower water heating is to develop.

This task includes a shower-WC and a continuous water flow heater, with shower water and a boiler. for heating, the shower water is further dissolved to feed the heated shower water with a jet, feature of heated shower water, another jet feed, where one of the jets is continuous allocated to the water passage heater and the other jet boiler, and the respective jet has a jet of its own. It must be connected with a continuous water flow heater or boiler over the line, also operation of the shower-WC with a suitable method and the operation of the shower-WC in a suitable manner is to be used.

Preferred designs are the subject of dependent claims and below is the main idea of the invention will be explained more closely next to it. Here you can now choose between different request categories. no difference is required, the features presented are rather important for all claim categories.

The starting point of the inventor is a boiler and a continuous water passage heater. combination provides significant advantages in terms of the capacity of the shower-WC.

Undoubtedly, unlike the state of the art until now, continuous water passage heater and the possibility of connecting the boiler in series could not be provided, on the contrary, both original The jet lines are fed, at each end of which a jet is provided. Thus, the shower function optionally with both water heaters, jet lines and jets or just one of them there is the possibility of operation, ie the so-called "shower branch" (boiler or continuous water passage) Different options arise here, which will be explained more closely below.

Essentially, for example, at a limited electrical power, i.e. continuous water flow. In case the heater or boiler is available at the same time, however different, very good shower spray results are obtained. Because in one case with the heated boiler, both with the higher water pressure of a common jet or a stronger water flow while does not need to be fed. But at the same time, only one of the two "dream branches" In its operation, the jet in question is fed with an appropriate amount of water. This is yet In unheated boilers and when using a continuous water flow heater or when the boiler is in a shower during heating and during this time the continuous water passage heater is turned off. It is valid in case of decreasing water temperature.

The described possibilities are especially (for example, not mandatory) a part of the shower function. relates to the possible request in such a short time frame after the opening process, here The boiler has not reached the desired water temperature yet. The boiler is essentially a continuous water passage. more time for the presence of adequately heated water than the heater needs and maybe in some exceptional cases and shower water demand and system opening It may be that the remaining time between them is not enough. With this invention, however, every A satisfactory shower operation is possible with either jet at any time.

In the state of the art, shower arms with two jets are frequently encountered, where each jet is usually has a specific anatomical function, for example, whether as an anal wash or other It serves to wash the vaginal areas. Accordingly, the jets regularly It is shifted to certain positions throughout and/or changes in the angle of spray shows; they are also neatly arranged specifically, for example for an anal wash. It serves to provide a different spray quality of water compared to the other region (i.e. more pressure). In this case, both said jets are preferably close to each other. position and the distance between them is not more than 1.5 cm, preferably no more than 1.2 cm or even 1.0 cm. They also preferably have the same spray angle.

Finally, they are preferably structurally the same, of course, mainly with jets. is relevant and not mandatory for lines. Although the supply lines preferably have the same cross-section (to ensure the same water spray quality), but lower in terms of structure geometry. they follow different paths inside your arm. Additional or alternatively spraying of both jets can be balanced by pumps- or regulating valve adjustment.

Continuous water intended for heated water according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention There is a connection line between the heater output and the boiler output and it There is a reversible valve on it, with the help of which it can be opened or closed. this line increases flexibility and, for example, in a continuous water flow heater, the heated water can also be It also allows the line connecting the boiler and the jet allocated to it to flow through it, i.e. Washing the related jet with heated water before using it and pushing out the water. Such washing processes are well known, the cold water jet is the main It is pushed by heated water before its function, so that during the user's use of the shower Avoid exposure to cold water first. Water during the washing process, for example cleaning It is used for purpose or in the shower arm or thrown away without use. It is particularly preferred if a control is provided with such a design, where the trip After the process, first the jet line fed from the continuous water passage heater and then the The jet line fed by the main (post) boiler is in the continuous water flow heater washed with heated water.

This sequence of the washing process also occurs if the described connecting line is present. it provides an advantage if it is not and is not used in the manner described. However, the choice here the continuous water passage between the heater and the jet, first the jet line and then the boiler. is the flushing of the jet line between the with water from the boiler, this is then suitably heated, ready for use. is ready.

Continuous water passage between heater and boiler outlets (too early) in case of both connection lines described, the continuous water passage heater used to deliver the heated water to the boiler, especially the described washing process covered for this purpose. Thus, the water in the boiler is heated more strongly and/or During heating, it is mixed better with the boiler and/or a lower cold water region is particularly warm. For the last aspect, it draws attention to the following: the boiler outlet mandatory formation of a temperature layer in the lower zone of the boiler during heating has a tendency.

If the continuous water flow heater contains a water reservoir in its water supply line if necessary, this is preferably connected to the boiler via an overhead. Thus, uninterrupted water The water reservoir of the passage heater and the boiler is filled together, i.e. the water supply line the filling water first comes to the water reservoir of the continuous water flow heater and It reaches the boiler via the overflow.

As mentioned at the beginning, the demand for early heated shower water for the boiler Only the shower branch of the continuous water passage heater is used for Preferably if If the boiler can deliver the heated water, both shower branches can be used so that a particularly intense Shower function is allowed. Here the continuous water passage heater is operated and The existing heat reserve in the boiler is used. Naturally this depends on the user's usage adjusted accordingly. As an additional or alternative advantage of the invention, the boiler when the hot water reserve inside is depleted (or if the temperature drops too much) only the use of the shower branch of the continuous water passage heater should be expressed here.

This possibility is undoubtedly also considered independently of the processes described. occurs in early demand of the function.

Generally speaking, on the one hand, the continuous water passage heater and the other On the other hand, separate or independent jet lines and jets of the boiler offer different advantages, because In general, these lines can be used at the same time, but separately from each other.

The invention will be further explained below based on an application example.

Fig.1 A block circuit diagram to explain the application example. shows.

Figure2 Apply a distal end of a shower arm to illustrate the example. shows.

In Figure 1, above left (1) according to the application example of shower-WC, defined with (1) fresh water connection is shown. One particle of fresh water from a fresh water supply line (2) filter (3) and a regulating valve (4) as well as a loop valve (5) for hygienic reasons therefore it flows into a legally prescribed vertical separation distance (6). A line from here (7) The water identified by the reference mark (8) goes to the tank. This tank is divided into two parts so a fresh water tank (9) on the left for a continuous water heater (10) and a boiler (11) on the right with an electric heater (12). The fresh water tank (9) and the boiler (11) are connected to each other with an overhang (13). connected so that both can be filled with fresh water connection (1) and line (7).

The boiler (11) includes a heating (12) and a temperature sensor (19).

A line (14) connects a pump not marked here with an uninterrupted outlet of the fresh water tank (9). It connects the water passage with the heater (10), as it is known, the volumetric flow of the water and the water temperature It includes sensors against flow and towards the continuous water flow heater. Uninterrupted water passage a downstream line (15) from the heater (10) heated water particulate filter in operation (16) goes to a valve (17) with many outlets through it.

On the other hand, the boiler (11) has a bottom outlet, where a T-piece is foreseen. One connection of the T-piece (18) to the right is a pump here it goes to the shower arm not shown, namely its Boost-jet (20).

One connection of the valve (17) is likewise to the shower arm, ie its direct Boost-jet (20) to the anal jet (21) located next to it. Finally, the valve (17) is connected to the T via a connection line (22). It is connected with another connection of the part (18).

Figure 2 distal of a shower arm (24) on a leg (23) of an inventive shower-WC shows a section through the tip. This dus-WC includes a WC legend, as it is known. only part of one side (23) of the flower is shown. At the edge of the legend (23) figure 2 There is a hole in the shape of a canal seen in it, inside and behind it a shower device is installed. Install this shower arm (24) from left to right in fig. It includes both jets (20) and 21 previously described at its right end (distal end) down to the right.

Although the exact nature of the jet is not important to the invention, however, the shower arm Here, two spherical (25) turbulent chambers are foreseen in its middle region. should be noted, this is cited in the latest state of the art resource EP 2 628 546.

These produce a turbulent jet of water at their upper ends, seen in figure 2. The enlarged jet enters the holes (20) and (21) while inside the shower arm. takes in air from the environment. Both jets (20) and (21) are relatively close to each other and this distance to each other is twice the diameter of the jet holes (upper shower arm surface). Jet (20) It is referred to as the boost-jet and the jet 21 is referred to as the anal jet; both geometries It is the same in terms of and is fed over the lines in the same section. These lines are here not shown but rather in front of or behind the section plane.

Below both turbulent chambers (25), a movable jet arm (26) is visible, which is to its right. carries unmarked jet holes at the (distal) end and optionally toward the vaginal jet can stretch. For this, water is supplied via a channel (27) whose branch (26) is located here. a spiral spring not shown pushes and feeds against the force. This part of the shower assembly not important for the invention.

There is a channel (28) on the channel (27). According to this figure, jets (20) and (21) It is in contact with the ventilation. This channel (28) also covers the shower arm (24) completely. In the retracted state (not shown here), these jets (20) deliver the wash water. and (21).

Also, a washer (29) can be seen in figure 2, this is the guide of the shower arm (24). It forms its distal end and is held at the legen rim (23). This washing device is a duct (30) it is fed with washing water and in the outward movement of the shower arm (24) and back It serves to clean the tooth surface of it in its movement. In this context, the technique its latest status is referred to EP 2 626 478.

Information about the details of the structure of the typical shower-WC in both references cited. are given.

Unlike many shower setups known from the state of the art, the shower is here. Both jets (20) and (21) located on the upper part of the arm for different anatomical purposes rather than both (in the same structure, in the same eruptive direction and directly adjacent position) for anal cleansing. In the state of the art, a second jet hole is usually it is provided for vaginal cleaning, in which case it is applied by the jet arm 26 .

Instead, the advantage of both jets (20) and (21) is with the hot water supply system from fig. They can be fed and the Boost-jet (20) is at the outlet of the boiler (11) via the T-piece and the anal jet (21) via valve (17) and continuous water flow heater (10). But they are the same can also be operated separately at the same time and for this it is necessary to ensure that their spraying does not need to be changed. Typical in operation is the following: the shower-WC is an infrared sensor recognized by a user, this activates the control to: the boiler (11), especially its Heater (12), is switched on. This also occurs if the user is located near the shower-WC. If If the start of WC use is detected, for example with a contact sensor, control Instead of the boiler (11), it turns on the continuous water heater (10) and the pump (14) in the line and the valve (17) is adjusted in such a way that the heated water washes the jet line up to the shower jet (21) and throws the cold water out. This happens before the shower arm (24) extends out, Thus, the water coming out of the jet (21) has a certain cleaning function in terms of the shower arm. performs.

Then, ie after the shower function has been activated, via the connecting line (22). Hot water between the jet line Boost-jet (20) and the boiler (11) (in the appropriate position of the valve (17)) and of course using the continuous water flow heater (10). Also the T-piece With (18), for example, one third of the volumetric flow of water is delivered to the boiler (11), so that there An improved mixture near the exit and heating of the particularly cold area is provided.

Then the shower arm is actually cleaned on the way out in a conventional manner, for example again with water heated by the continuous water flow heater (10) and here more closely the unexplained valve (17) is in position, as a result of which the water over the connection (30) reaches the washing mechanism (29). If the shower arm (24) is extended out, both jets (20) and (21) can be used, where the valve (17) blocks the connecting line (22) and each jet has its own jet. It is fed from the boiler (11) or the continuous water passage heater (10) over the line.

On the other hand, if the shower function is requested early, the last mentioned operating boiler (11) does not make sense due to the insufficient temperature of the water in it, so to a certain extent as an emergency program only with water heated by the anal jet (21) continuous water passage heater (10) it works and the Boost-jet (20) only works if there is a sufficient water temperature in the boiler (11).

Of course other method options (as well as from this application example) independently) is possible, for example a normal shower function is only for boiler water and Using the boost-jet (20) (if the boiler water is hot enough) and the addition of the anal jet (21) on request (this means the availability of a continuous water heater (10)). This In this case the nomenclature of the jets may also be interchanged, since the anal jet (21) has a Boost-jet function to some extent.

In the overall application example, two jets and dedicated water heaters of the separate line Between (10) or (11) different advantages are possible, these can be flexibly can be used. If the connecting line (22) is present, this is also the washing procedure described. The energy content in the boiler (11) up to the Boost-jet (20) is conserved appropriately.
