Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine sanitäre Einheit mit einem am Wasserauslauf einer Auslaufarmatur montierbaren Auslaufmundstück, in das ein Strahlbelüfter einsetzt ist, der ein Belüftergehäuse aufweist, das in seinem Gehäuseinneren einen, den zufließenden Wasserstrom in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrahlen unterteilenden Strahlzerleger hat, dem abströmseitig eine Mischzone zum Belüften der Einzelstrahlen nachgeschaltet ist, wobei zumindest ein in der Mischzone mündender Belüftungskanal vorgesehen ist, der wenigstens abschnittsweise zwischen dem Auslaufmundstück und dem Belüftergehäuse vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a sanitary unit with a water outlet of an outlet fitting mountable outlet nozzle, in which a Strahlbelüfter is used, which has a Belüftergehäuse having in its housing interior, the inflowing water stream in a plurality of individual beams dividing jet splitter, the downstream a mixing zone for Ventilation of the individual jets is connected downstream, wherein at least one opening in the mixing zone ventilation channel is provided which is at least partially provided between the outlet nozzle and the aerator.
Sanitäre Einheiten der eingangs genannten Art sind bereits in verschiedenen Ausführungen u.a. aus der
Die mit den vorbekannten Strahlbelüftern angestrebte Belüftung des aus der Auslaufarmatur ausströmenden Wasserstrahls macht sich in einer Vielzahl von Luftbläschen bemerkbar, die dem ausströmenden Wasserstrahl scheinbar weiß verfärben. In machen Kulturkreisen wird aber nur ein klarer, unverfärbter und somit unbelüfteter Wasserstrahl als Nahrungsmittel toleriert. Darüber hinaus kann die Belüftung des Wasserstrahls eventuell das Risiko erhöhen, dass in den Wasserstrahl Keime eingetragen werden, weshalb eine solche Belüftung des Wasserstrahls beispielsweise auch in Krankenhäusern zum Teil vermieden wird. In solchen Fällen werden Strahlregler verwendet, bei denen eine Belüftung des Wasserstrahls nicht möglich ist. Je nach Einsatzzweck und Einsatzgebiet sind somit unterschiedliche Strahlregler-Ausführungen herzustellen und zu bevorraten.The aspired with the previously known Strahlbelüftern ventilation of the effluent from the outlet water jet makes itself felt in a variety of air bubbles, which discolor seemingly white the outflowing water jet. In some cultures, however, only a clear, uncolored and thus unaerated water jet is tolerated as food. In addition, the aeration of the water jet may increase the risk that germs are introduced into the water jet, which is why such aeration of the water jet is partially avoided, for example, in hospitals. In such cases, aerators are used, where aeration of the water jet is not possible. Depending on the purpose and area of application, different types of jet regulator are therefore to be produced and stockpiled.

Man hat auch bereits eine Vorrichtung geschaffen, bei der in dem Bereich unterhalb den Querwandöffnungen, in dem die Außenluft frei zutreten kann, zur Erzeugung belüfteter oder unbelüfteter Strahlen wahlweise Siebe oder siebfreie Auslassöffnungen gebracht werden können (vgl.

Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, eine sanitäre Einheit der eingangs erwähnten Art mit einem Strahlbelüfter zu schaffen, dessen Belüftungsfunktion sich auf einfache Weise variieren lässt, der entsprechend vielseitig einsetzbar ist und mit dem die von vorbekannten Strahlbelüftern bekannten Nachteile vermieden werden können.It is therefore an object to provide a sanitary unit of the type mentioned above with a jet aerator whose ventilation function vary in a simple manner allows, which is correspondingly versatile and with the known disadvantages of known Strahlbelüftern can be avoided.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht darin, dass zum Drosseln- und/oder wahlweisen Zu- oder Abschalten der Belüftungsfunktion ein Drossel- oder Schließstück vorgesehen ist, das mittels einer Dreh- und/oder einer Schiebebewegung zwischen einer den zumindest einen Belüftungskanal öffnenden Offenposition und einer den wenigstens einen Belüftungskanal zumindest teilweise verschließenden Drossel- oder Schließstellung bewegbar ist, und dass das Drossel- oder Schließstück in der Drossel- oder Schließstellung den zumindest einen Belüftungskanal im Bereich seiner wenigstens einen, zur Mischzone führenden Kanalmündung oder im Bereich seines mindestens einen Kanaleinlasses zumindest teilweise verschließt.The achievement of this object is that for throttling and / or optional switching on or off the ventilation function, a throttle or closing piece is provided by means of a rotary and / or a sliding movement between the at least one ventilation channel opening open position and a the at least one ventilation duct at least partially closing throttle or closed position is movable, and that the throttle or closing piece in the throttle or closed position the at least one ventilation duct in the region of at least one leading to the mixing zone channel mouth or in the region of at least one channel inlet at least partially closes.
Da der Strahlbelüfter der erfindungsgemäßen sanitären Einheit in ein am Wasserauslauf einer Auslaufarmatur montierbares Auslaufmundstück eingesetzt wird, kann an sich auch auf handelsübliche Strahlbelüfter zurückgegriffen werden. Da der zumindest eine Belüftungskanal nicht radial angeordnet ist und seine Kanalöffnung deshalb auch nicht am Außenumfang der sanitären Einheit angeordnet sein muss, werden im Blickfeld des Anwenders liegende Kalkablagerungen vermieden. Da die zum Drosseln und/oder wahlweisen Zu- oder Abschalten der Belüftungsfunktion erforderliche Dreh- und/oder Schiebebewegung auf das Drossel- oder Schließstück aufgebracht wird, und da der Strahlbelüfter demgegenüber in einem am Wasserauslauf der Auslaufarmatur montierbaren Auslaufmundstück gehalten ist, wird ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der aus Strahlregler, Drossel- oder Schließstück sowie Auslaüfmundstück bestehenden sanitären Einheit vermieden. Eine besonders einfache und dennoch vorteilhafte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Drossel- oder Schließstück hülsenförmig ausgebildet ist und das Belüftergehäuse umgreift.Since the jet aerator of the sanitary unit according to the invention is used in an outlet nozzle which can be mounted on the water outlet of an outlet fitting, commercially available jet aerators can also be used. Since the at least one ventilation channel is not arranged radially and its channel opening therefore does not have to be arranged on the outer circumference of the sanitary unit, limescale deposits lying in the field of vision of the user are avoided. Since the required for throttling and / or optional connection or disconnection of the ventilation function rotary and / or sliding movement is applied to the throttle or closing piece, and since the jet aerator is held in contrast in a mountable on the water outlet of the outlet fitting outlet nozzle, an unintentional release avoids the existing of jet regulator, throttle or closing piece and Auslaüfmundstück sanitary unit. A particularly simple yet advantageous embodiment according to the invention provides that the throttle or closing piece is sleeve-shaped and surrounds the aerator housing.
Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn das Drossel- oder Schließstück am Belüftergehäuse oder am Auslaufmundstück drehbar und/oder verschiebbar gehalten ist.It is expedient if the throttle or closing piece is held rotatably and / or displaceably on the aerator housing or on the outlet mouthpiece.
Eine Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Drossel- oder Schließstück in seiner Offenposition und/oder in seiner Drossel- oder Schließstellung vorzugsweise lösbar einrastbar ist.An embodiment according to the invention provides that the throttle or closing piece in its open position and / or in its throttle or closed position is preferably releasably latched.
Es kann zweckmäßig sein, wenn das Drossel- oder Schließstück über ein Schraubgewinde mit dem Auslaufmundstück verbunden ist.It may be useful if the throttle or closing piece is connected via a screw thread with the outlet nozzle.
Eine andere Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung besteht darin, dass das Drossel- oder Schließstück eine Ringdichtung trägt, die in der Drossel- oder Schließstellung des Drossel- oder Schließstücks die Einlassöffnung des zwischen Auslaufmundstück und Belüftergehäuse vorgesehenen Belüftungskanals zumindest teilweise verschließt.Another embodiment according to the invention is that the throttle or closing piece carries an annular seal, which at least partially closes the inlet opening of the ventilation channel provided between outlet mouthpiece and aerator housing in the throttling or closing position of the throttling or closing piece.
Weitere Merkmale gemäß der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Figurenbeschreibung sowie den Ansprüchen. Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand vorteilhafter Ausführungsbeispiele noch näher beschrieben.Further features according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of the figures and the claims. The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to advantageous embodiments.
