Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a sanitary inserting unit according to the preamble of claim 1.

Sanitäre Einsetzeinheiten sind bereits in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt. Solche Einsetzeinheiten werden regelmäßig in ein Auslaufmundstück eingesetzt, das an einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur lösbar gehalten ist. Mit Hilfe solcher Einsetzeinheiten soll ein homogener, weicher und nichtspritzender Wasserstrahl geformt werden.Sanitary Einsetzeinheiten are already known in various versions. Such insertion units are regularly used in an outlet nozzle, which is releasably held on a sanitary outlet fitting. With the help of such Einsetzzeinheiten a homogeneous, soft and non-squirting water jet is to be formed.

Bei derartigen Einsetzeinheiten, die einen zuströmseitigen Durchflussmengenregler und einen abströmseitigen Strahlregler zusammenfassen, kann es jedoch zu Einbauproblemen auf Grund der Baugröße kommen. Problematisch ist insbesondere der nachträgliche Einbau in Auslaufarmaturen, die zuvor mit einer Einsetzeinheit betrieben wurden, welche lediglich einen Strahlregler, jedoch keinen Durchflussmengenregler aufweist, da letztgenannte Einsetzeinheit eine geringere Einbauhöhe als eine Einsetzeinheit mit Durchflussmengenregler hat.In such insertion units, which summarize an inflow-side flow regulator and a downstream jet regulator, however, it can come to installation problems due to the size. Particularly problematic is the subsequent installation in outlet fittings, which were previously operated with an insertion unit, which has only one jet regulator, but no flow rate regulator, since the latter insertion unit has a lower installation height than an insertion unit with flow regulator has.

Aus der EP 0 733 748 A1 ist bereits eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art bekannt, die zum Einsetzen in ein Auslaufmundstück bestimmt ist. Die vorbekannte Einsetzeinheit weist abströmseitig einen Strahlregler auf, dem in Durchflussrichtung ein Durchflussmengenregler sowie ein zuströmseitiges Vorsatzsieb vorgeschaltet sind. Dabei soll das Vorsatzsieb eventuell anströmende Schmutzpartikel vom Mengenregler fernhalten, die ansonsten zu Fehlleistungen und insbesondere zu zu geringen Literleistungen des Durchflussmengenreglers führen könnten. Der Strahlregler, der Durchflussmengenregler und das zuströmseitige Vorsatzsieb weisen an ihren einander zugewandten Enden jeweils zueinander passende Anschlussmittel zum lösbaren Verbinden dieser Bestandteile auf. Durch die gleiche beziehungsweise komplementäre Ausbildung der Anschlussmittel besteht die Möglichkeit, das Vorsatzsieb entweder auf dem Durchflussmengenregler oder direkt auf dem Strahlregler anzubringen. Da der Strahlregler mit dem Durchflussmengenregler und dieser wiederum mit dem Vorsatzsieb lösbar verbunden ist, und da die Einbaulänge der vorbekannten Einsetzeinheit im Wesentlichen durch die Bauhöhe ihrer einzelnen Bestandteile bestimmt wird, weist die aus EP 0 733 748 A1 vorbekannte Einsetzeinheit im Vergleich zu einem üblichen Strahlregler eine entsprechend überhöhte Einbaulänge auf.From the EP 0 733 748 A1 already a sanitary inserting unit of the type mentioned above is known, which is intended for insertion into an outlet mouthpiece. The previously known insertion unit has a jet regulator on the outflow side, upstream of which there is a flow rate regulator in the direction of flow as well as an inflow screen on the upstream side. In this case, the attachment strainer should keep away any inflowing dirt particles from the flow regulator, which could otherwise lead to errors and in particular to low liter performance of the flow regulator. The jet regulator, the flow rate regulator and the inflow-side front screen have at their mutually facing ends in each case mating connection means for releasably connecting these components. By the same or complementary design of the connection means it is possible to attach the attachment screen either on the flow regulator or directly on the jet regulator. Since the jet regulator with the flow regulator and this in turn is detachably connected to the attachment screen, and since the installation length of the known insertion unit is determined essentially by the height of their individual components, which has EP 0 733 748 A1 previously known insertion unit in comparison to a conventional jet regulator on a correspondingly increased installation length.

Es besteht daher insbesondere die Aufgabe, eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, bei der Einbauprobleme auf Grund der Einbauhöhe auch in Umgebungen mit begrenzten Platzverhältnissen vermieden sind.There is therefore a particular object to provide a sanitary inserting unit of the type mentioned, are avoided in the installation problems due to the installation height in environments with limited space.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit gemäß Anspruch 1.The solution according to the invention of this object is a sanitary inserting unit according to claim 1.

Somit wird der bislang bei vorbekannten Einsetzeinheiten ungenutzte Innenraum unterhalb des Vorsatzsiebes funktional für den Durchflussmengenregler genutzt, so dass die Bauhöhe der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit mit Durchflussmengenregler gegenüber der Bauhöhe einer herkömmlichen Einsetzeinheit ohne Durchflussmengenregler nicht erhöht ist. Es ist somit eine hundertprozentige geometrische Kompatibilität zwischen zwei derartigen Einsetzeinheiten realisiert, so dass der wechselweise Austausch der Einsetzeinheiten oder der wahlweise Einbau des Durchflussmengenreglers problemlos möglich ist.Thus, the previously unused in previously known Einsetzeinheiten space below the attachment strainer is functionally used for the flow rate controller, so that the height of the insert unit according to the invention with flow regulator over the height of a conventional insertion without flow rate controller is not increased. It is thus realized a hundred percent geometric compatibility between two such insertion units, so that the alternation of the replacement units or the optional installation of the flow regulator is easily possible.

Mit der Zeit kann sich das Vorsatzsieb durch Verunreinigungen oder Kalkablagerungen zusetzen. Um einen ausreichenden Wasserzustrom auch bei partiell zugesetztem Vorsatzsieb im Zentralbereich sicherzustellen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Durchflussmengenregler in einem äußeren, insbesondere ringförmigen Randbereich eine radial nach innen aufsteigende Auflaufschräge aufweist, die zu einem Steuerspalt oder dergleichen mit dem Strahlregler in Durchgangsverbindung stehenden Durchströmöffnung führt, und wenn die Auflaufschräge und das Vorsatzsieb voneinander beabstandet sind.
Zuströmendes Wasser kann so von den Außenbereichen des Vorsatzsiebes über die Auflaufschräge dem Durchflussmengenregler und in der Folge dem Strahlregler zugeführt werden. Damit ist auch bei einem partiell verstopften Vorsatzsieb die Funktionalität der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit gewährleistet.Over time, the attachment screen may become clogged with debris or limescale. In order to ensure a sufficient flow of water even with partially added front screen in the central region, it is advantageous if the flow regulator in an outer, in particular annular edge region has a radially inwardly rising ramp, leading to a control gap or the like in flow communication with the jet regulator, and when the ramp and the front screen are spaced apart.
Inflowing water can be supplied from the outer areas of the attachment screen via the ramp to the flow regulator and subsequently the jet regulator. This ensures the functionality of the insertion unit according to the invention, even in the case of a partially blocked attachment screen.

Um einen definierten Zustrom des Wassers zu dem Durchflussmengenregler über die Auflaufschräge zu erreichen und Verwirbelungen in Umfangsrichtung zu vermeiden, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Auflaufschräge oberseitig etwa radial verlaufende Nuten zur Bildung einzelner Zuströmkanäle aufweist. Durch den gebündelten Wasserfluss in den Zuführkanälen kann auch die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit am Durchflussmengenregler und in der Folge am Strahlregler erhöht werden, so dass die Funktionalität der Einsetzeinheit verbessert ist.In order to achieve a defined inflow of the water to the flow rate regulator on the ramp and to avoid turbulence in the circumferential direction, it is advantageous if the ramp has upper side approximately radially extending grooves to form individual inflow channels. Due to the bundled water flow in the feed channels, the flow rate at the flow regulator and subsequently at the jet regulator can be increased, so that the functionality of the insertion unit is improved.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die zwischen den Nuten befindlichen Stege nahe oder bei der Innenseite des Vorsatzsiebes enden und als Auflageelemente für das Vorsatzsieb dienen. Die Stege bilden so Stützen für das Vorsatzsieb, so dass die Stabilität der Anordnung verbessert ist und ein unerwünschtes Einformen des Vorsatzsiebes, beispielsweise durch zu hohen Druck des zuströmenden Wassers, vermieden werden kann.It is advantageous if the webs located between the grooves close to or near the inside of the attachment screen and serve as support elements for the attachment screen. The webs thus form supports for the attachment screen, so that the stability of the arrangement is improved and an undesirable molding of the attachment screen, for example by excessive pressure of the incoming water, can be avoided.

Um eine gleichmäßige Wasserzuströmung zu ermöglichen ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Stege der Auflaufschräge in Umfangsrichtung gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandet sind.In order to enable a uniform flow of water, it is expedient if the webs of the ramp are circumferentially evenly spaced from each other.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit sieht vor, dass der Durchflussmengenregler einen zentralen Kernbereich aufweist, der von einem ringförmigen Drosselkörper umgeben ist, und dass zwischen dem Drosselkörper und der Auflaufschräge ein Steuerspalt gebildet ist, dessen Durchtrittsquerschnitt durch den sich unter der beim Durchströmen bildenden Druckdifferenz verformenden Drosselkörper veränderbar ist.A preferred embodiment of the insertion unit according to the invention provides that the flow rate regulator has a central core area, which is surrounded by an annular throttle body, and that between the throttle body and the ramp bevel, a control gap is formed whose passage cross-section by deforming under the pressure difference forming when flowing through Throttle body is changeable.

Nachstehend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen sanitären Einsetzeinheit anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben.An exemplary embodiment of a sanitary inserting unit according to the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Es zeigt:

It shows:
Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Eine im ganzen mit 1 bezeichnete sanitäre Einsetzeinheit weist ein Vorsatzsieb 2, einen Durchflussmengenregler 3 sowie einen Strahlregler 4 auf, die mit seinem Gehäuse 5 lösbar miteinander verbunden sind.A generally designated 1 sanitary inserting unit has a front screen 2, a flow regulator 3 and a jet regulator 4, which are detachably connected to each other with its housing 5.

Figur 1 zeigt eine teilweise im Schnitt gehaltene Seitenansicht der Einsetzeinheit 1. Unterhalb des im wesentlichen kegelförmig ausgebildeten Vorsatzsiebes 2 ist ein Innenraum 6 gebildet, in dem der Durchflussmengenregler 3 angeordnet ist. Der Durchflussmengenregler 3 weist einen zentralen Kernbereich 7 auf, der von einem ringförmigen Drosselkörper 8 umgeben ist. Zwischen dem Drosselkörper 8 und einer radial nach innen aufsteigenden Auflaufschräge 9 im äußeren Randbereich des Durchflussmengenreglers 3 ist ein Steuerspalt 10 gebildet, der in Durchflussverbindung mit dem darunter angeordneten Strahlregler 4 steht. FIG. 1 shows a partially sectioned side view of the insertion unit 1. Below the substantially conically shaped attachment screen 2, an interior space 6 is formed, in which the flow rate regulator 3 is arranged. The flow rate regulator 3 has a central core region 7, which is surrounded by an annular throttle body 8. Between the throttle body 8 and a radially inwardly rising ramp 9 in the outer edge region of the flow regulator 3, a control gap 10 is formed, which is in flow communication with the jet regulator 4 arranged thereunder.

Der zentrale Kernbereich 7, der Drosselkörper 8 und die Auflaufschräge 9 sind derart dimensioniert, dass das Querschnittsprofil des Durchflussmengenreglers 3 dem Querschnittsprofil des Vorsatzsiebes 2 im wesentlichen formangepasst ist, wobei die Auflaufschräge 9 und das Vorsatzsieb 2 voneinander beabstandet sind. Durch die Anordnung des Durchflussmengenreglers 3 innerhalb des unterhalb des Vorsatzsiebes 2 gebildeten Innenraums 6 ergibt sich für die Einsetzeinheit 1 eine gegenüber herkömmlichen Einsetzeinheiten reduzierte Bauhöhe beziehungsweise es kann für eine Einsetzeinheit mit Durchflussmengenregler eine Bauhöhe realisiert werden, die bislang nur für Einsetzeinheiten ohne Durchflussmengenregler möglich war. Somit kann die erfindungsgemäße Einsetzeinheit 1 problemlos in Umgebungen integriert werden, in denen zuvor Strahlregler ohne Durchflussmengenregler verwendet wurden oder die nur begrenzte Platzverhältnisse aufweisen.The central core region 7, the throttle body 8 and the ramp 9 are dimensioned such that the cross-sectional profile of the flow rate controller 3, the cross-sectional profile of Front screen 2 is substantially conformed, wherein the ramp 9 and the front screen 2 are spaced from each other. The arrangement of the flow rate controller 3 within the inner space 6 formed below the attachment screen 2 results for the insertion unit 1 compared to conventional insertion units reduced height or it can be realized for an insertion unit with flow regulator a height that was previously only possible for inserting without flow rate controller. Thus, the insertion unit 1 according to the invention can be easily integrated into environments in which jet regulators were previously used without flow regulator or have only limited space.

Wie insbesondere in Figur 2 erkennbar ist, weist die Auflaufschräge 9 oberseitig etwa radial verlaufende, gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandete Spülnuten oder dergleichen Nuten 11 zur Bildung einzelner Zuströmkanäle auf. Diese Zuströmkanäle ermöglichen ein gezieltes Zuströmen von Wasser, das durch den Bereich des Vorsatzsiebes 2 oberhalb der Auflaufschräge 9 in den Durchflussmengenregler 3 gelangt, hin zu dem Steuerspalt 10. Somit ist auch im Falle einer bereichsweisen Zusetzung des Vorsatzsiebes 2 im Zentralbereich, beispielsweise durch Verunreinigungen im zuströmenden Wasser oder durch Kalkablagerungen, ein ausreichender Wasserstrom in den Steuerspalt 10 und den nachgeordneten Strahlregler 4 vom Außenbereich her sichergestellt.As in particular in FIG. 2 can be seen, the ramp 9 on the upper side approximately radially extending, evenly spaced apart scavenging grooves or similar grooves 11 to form individual inflow channels. This inflow channels allow a targeted inflow of water that passes through the area of the attachment screen 2 above the ramp 9 in the flow rate controller 3, to the control gap 10. Thus, even in the case of a zonal addition of the attachment screen 2 in the central region, for example by impurities in inflowing water or by limescale, a sufficient flow of water into the control gap 10 and the downstream jet regulator 4 ensured from the outside.

Die zwischen den Nuten 11 befindlichen und diese begrenzenden Stege oder Vorsprünge 12 enden nahe der Innenseite des Vorsatzsiebes 2. Somit können sie als Auflageelemente für das Vorsatzsieb 2 dienen, um die Stabilität der Einsetzeinheit 1 zu verbessern und ein ungewünschtes Einformen des Vorsatzsiebes 2 in den Innenraum 6, beispielsweise durch zu hohen Druck des zuströmenden Wassers oder bei der Handhabung beim Einbau der Einsetzeinheit 1, zu verhindern.The located between the grooves 11 and these limiting ridges or projections 12 terminate near the inside of the attachment screen 2. Thus, they can serve as support elements for the attachment screen 2, to improve the stability of the insertion unit 1 and an undesirable molding of the attachment screen. 2 into the interior 6, for example, by excessive pressure of the incoming water or during handling during installation of the inserting unit 1, to prevent.
