Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water outlet fitting with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a water outlet fitting can be seen, for example, from DE 31 35 861 C2.
  • a water outlet fitting is known from WO 95/29300, in which both infrared and ultraviolet light is fed into water jets emerging from outlet openings.
  • the light in the fitting head is radiated into the water flowing through the fitting head through a transparent window, see above that light also exits through the outlet openings of the water.
  • the problem here is that a large part of the light radiated into the water cannot exit through the outlet openings, as a result of which the intensity of the emerging light is reduced.
  • limescale deposits on the transparent window reduce the intensity at places that are difficult or difficult to access from the outside.
  • a water outlet fitting in which a plurality of water outlet openings surround at least one centrally arranged light outlet opening and are connected to the water line via an annular space surrounding a light pipe in the area of the fitting head.
  • the light is guided to the fitting head via light guides arranged in the water outlet fitting.
  • This requires not only a very complex structure of the water outlet fitting, but also a precise coupling of the water outlet fitting, for example to a hose, in particular a precise coupling of the light guides to the light guides arranged in the hose, in order to ensure a high intensity of the emitted light.
  • Another problem with such water outlet fittings is that longer light guide paths result in a reduction in the intensity of the emitted light.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a water outlet fitting of the generic type. form that an optimal light emission of high intensity is made possible with a simple construction, while at the same time an easy cleaning possibility of the light exit openings should be given.
  • optical fibers for light conduction or the like can advantageously be omitted.
  • Another advantage of this arrangement is that the water only comes into contact with the outlet side of the light outlet opening and not, as for example in the case of the water outlet fitting known from WO 95/29300, also with the location of the light radiation in the fitting head. In this way, deposits or contaminants can be easily removed.
  • the arrangement of the water outlet opening and the light outlet opening can be designed in different ways.
  • An advantageous embodiment provides that the at least one light outlet opening is arranged centrally and is surrounded by a plurality of water outlet openings.
  • the reverse arrangement is provided.
  • the at least one water outlet opening is arranged centrally and surrounded by a plurality of light outlet openings.
  • a plurality of light outlet openings and a plurality of water outlet openings are arranged in the fitting head in a substantially uniform distribution.
  • the light source can be arranged anywhere in the fitting head, the light being deflected, for example by mirrors or other optical elements in the fitting head, in such a way that it emerges from the light exit opening.
  • the light source is arranged essentially in alignment with the light exit opening, in this way optical elements that redirect light can be omitted.
  • the emerging water can be directly illuminated by the light source without the interposition of optical elements, but it can also be provided that optical elements, preferably lenses, are arranged between the light source and the light exit opening, which influence the type of light emission.
  • an advantageous embodiment provides that the light source is fed by at least one accumulator arranged in the fitting head or by at least one battery arranged in the fitting head.
  • Another embodiment provides that the light source is fed via an electrical line arranged in the water outlet fitting from a supply arranged outside the water outlet fitting.
  • An electrical line is easy to install in the water outlet fitting; in particular, it does not require the precise adjustment that is required for light guides.
  • the color and the brightness of the light source can be changed manually.
  • Another embodiment provides that the color and brightness of the light source can be changed automatically.
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a water outlet fitting according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of a water outlet fitting according to the invention
  • Fig. 3 shows a third embodiment of a water outlet fitting according to the invention.
  • Fig. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of a water outlet fitting according to the invention.
  • a light outlet opening is arranged centrally and is surrounded by water outlet openings in a ring. It is understood that the invention is not limited to such an embodiment. It can also be provided that the water outlet opening is arranged centrally and surrounded by light outlet openings.
  • a plurality of water outlet openings and light outlet openings are arranged essentially uniformly distributed in a fitting head.
  • a water outlet fitting 10 shown in FIG. 1, comprises a hollow housing 20 with a fitting head 30.
  • a light exit opening 32 is arranged approximately centrally in the valve head 30, in which a light source 40 is positioned, which is fed, for example, by a power source 50 via electrical lines 42.
  • An annular space 34 is provided surrounding the light source 40, which is connected to a water pipe 35.
  • water outlet openings 37 are provided on the side facing the light outlet opening 32, through which water can exit.
  • the light exit opening and the space in which the electrical conductors 42 are laid are spatially separated from the annular space 34 and the water line 35.
  • the water emerging through the water outlet opening 37 is illuminated by the light source 40, the light source being a light bulb, a light-emitting diode or another light source which emits white, colored, multicolored, visible, ultraviolet or else infrared light.
  • the light source 40 being a light bulb, a light-emitting diode or another light source which emits white, colored, multicolored, visible, ultraviolet or else infrared light.
  • a plurality of light sources can also be provided, which emit light of different colors or different types, for example.
  • the light can be changed automatically or manually with regard to its intensity or color.
  • the light source 40 is not supplied by a power source 50 arranged outside the water outlet fitting 10 via electrical lines 42, but rather by a battery arranged in the water outlet fitting 10 or an accumulator 60 arranged in the water outlet fitting 10 the water outlet fitting 10 has an opening 21 which enables the battery or the accumulator 60 to be changed.
  • the accumulator 60 can also be charged by induction.
  • the opening 21 can be omitted, so that no problems with regard to the tightness of the opening 21 can arise.
  • FIG. 3 In a third exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3, those elements are the same as those of the first and second ones shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are identical, provided with the same reference numerals, so that with regard to their description, reference is made in full to the statements relating to the first and second exemplary embodiments.
  • the light source in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is not arranged directly in the light exit opening 32, but in alignment with the light exit opening 32 in the housing 20.
  • Optical elements are, for example, between the light exit opening 32 and the light source 40 arranged in the form of lenses 71, 72, which allow a desired light emission of the emerging light.
  • the light source 40 is in turn fed by an external power source 50 via electrical lines 42, whereas in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a battery or an accumulator 60 is provided in the housing 20.
  • the color and the brightness of the light source 40 can be changed both manually, for example by means of a rotary knob or the like, and automatically (not shown).
