Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, eine sanitäre Einsetzeinheit der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die auch bei geringen auslaufenden Wassermengen pro Zeiteinheit dem Anwender dennoch die Möglichkeit bietet, bei Bedarf Gegenstände mit einem kraftvollen Reinigungsstrahl zu reinigen.In various water-scarce countries there is only very low water pressure in the water supply network and in other countries it is required to maintain such a low volume flow per unit of time that, for example, a wet razor or similar object can hardly be effectively cleaned with this small amount of water per unit of time. The task is therefore to create a sanitary insertion unit of the type mentioned at the beginning, which, even with small amounts of water leaking out per unit of time, still offers the user the opportunity to clean objects with a powerful cleaning jet if necessary.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Durchflussmengenregler zuströmseitig vor einer zuströmseitigen Kanalöffnung des By-Pass-Kanals angeordnet ist.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the flow rate regulator is arranged on the inflow side in front of an inflow-side channel opening of the by-pass channel.
Die erfindungsgemäße Einsetzeinheit weist ein Einsetzgehäuse auf, das an einem oder in einem Wasserauslauf einer sanitären Auslaufarmatur montierbar ist. Dazu kann am Gehäuseaußenumfang des Einsetzgehäuses ein Außengewinde vorgesehen sein, das mit einem Innengewinde im Wasserauslauf verschraubbar ist. Möglich ist aber auch, dass das Einsetzgehäuse in ein hülsenförmiges Auslaufmundstück einsetzbar ist, das mit Hilfe eines Gewindes an einem Gegengewinde am Wasserauslauf verschraubt werden kann. Im Gehäuseinnenraum des Einsetzgehäuses ist ein Flüssigkeitsweg vorgesehen, durch den durchströmendes Wasser geführt werden kann. In diesem Flüssigkeitsweg ist ein Strahlzerleger vorgesehen, der eine Mehrzahl von Zerlegeröffnungen hat, die das durchströmende Wasser in eine Mehrzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufteilen. Dem Strahlzerleger ist im Flüssigkeitsweg zumindest eine Gitter- oder Netzstruktur nachgeschaltet, die als Strömungsgleichrichter oder als Homogenisiereinrichtung wirkt und die vom Strahlzerleger kommenden Einzelstrahlen gegebenenfalls nach dem Anreichern und Durchmischen mit Umgebungsluft zu einem aus dem Einsetzgehäuse austretenden weichen Gesamtstrahl formen soll. Die erfindungsgemäße Einsetzeinheit hat zumindest einen den Flüssigkeitsweg wenigstens abschnittsweise umgehenden By-Pass-Kanal, der zur Erzeugung wenigstens eines beschleunigten Flüssigkeits- oder Reinigungsstrahles dient. In dem aus der sanitären Einsetzeinheit ausströmenden Gesamtstrahl wird somit mit Hilfe des zumindest einen, als Düse ausgebildeten By-Pass-Kanals ein im Vergleich zum Gesamtstrahl beschleunigter Flüssigkeits- oder Reinigungsstrahl erzeugt, der sich im Vergleich zum übrigen Gesamtstrahl durch eine erhöhte Reinigungskraft auszeichnet.The insertion unit according to the invention has an insertion housing which can be mounted on or in a water outlet of a sanitary outlet fitting. For this purpose, an external thread can be provided on the outer circumference of the insert housing, which can be screwed to an internal thread in the water outlet. However, it is also possible for the insertion housing to be inserted into a sleeve-shaped outlet mouthpiece, which can be screwed to a counter-thread on the water outlet using a thread. A fluid path is provided in the interior of the insert housing through which water flowing through can be guided. A jet splitter is provided in this liquid path and has a plurality of splitter openings which divide the water flowing through into a plurality of individual jets. The jet splitter is followed by at least one grid or network structure in the liquid path, which acts as a flow straightener or as a homogenizing device and is intended to form the individual jets coming from the jet splitter, if necessary after enrichment and mixing with ambient air, into a soft overall jet emerging from the insert housing. The insertion unit according to the invention has at least one bypass channel which at least partially bypasses the liquid path and which is used to generate at least one accelerated liquid flow. or cleaning jet. In the overall jet flowing out of the sanitary insertion unit, a liquid or cleaning jet that is accelerated compared to the overall jet is thus generated with the aid of the at least one by-pass channel designed as a nozzle, which is characterized by increased cleaning power compared to the rest of the overall jet.
Um den Wasserverbrauch merklich zu reduzieren und um die Durchflussleistung auf einen geringen Maximalwert festlegen zu können, sieht der im Patentanspruch 1 geschützte Erfindungsgegenstand vor, dass im Einsetzgehäuse zuströmseitig vor dem Strahlzerleger ein Durchflussmengenregler vorgesehen ist, der das durchströmende Wasser auf eine druckunabhängige maximale Durchflussleistung einregelt.In order to noticeably reduce water consumption and to be able to set the flow rate to a low maximum value, the subject matter of the invention protected in
Um die Einsetzeinheit kostengünstig herstellen und platzsparend in dem Einsetzgehäuse unterbringen zu können, ist des Weiteren vorgesehen, dass der Durchflussmengenregler mindestens einen elastischen ringförmigen Drosselkörper hat, der einen Reglerkern umgreift und zwischen sich und einer, an der Außenumfangswandung des Reglerkerns oder einer den Drosselkörper umgebenden Innenumfangswandung vorgesehenen Regelprofilierung einen Steuerspalt begrenzt, welcher Steuerspalt sich unter dem Druck des durchströmenden Wassers derart verändert, dass die Durchflussleistung des Durchflussmengenreglers einen druckunabhängigen Maximalwert nicht übersteigt.In order to be able to produce the insert unit cost-effectively and accommodate it in the insert housing in a space-saving manner, it is further provided that the flow rate regulator has at least one elastic annular throttle body which surrounds a regulator core and between itself and an inner circumferential wall on the outer peripheral wall of the regulator core or an inner circumferential wall surrounding the throttle body The control profiling provided limits a control gap, which control gap changes under the pressure of the water flowing through in such a way that the flow rate of the flow rate controller does not exceed a pressure-independent maximum value.
Um den Reinigungsstrahl ohne Rücksicht auf die Durchflussleistung eines gegebenenfalls vorgeschalteten Durchflussmengenreglers ausgestalten zu können, ist im Patentanspruch 1 des Weiteren vorgesehen, dass zumindest ein ungeregelter und zu einer zuströmseitigen Kanalöffnung des By-Pass-Kanals führender Durchströmkanal den Reglerkern des Durchflussmengenreglers durchsetzt.In order to be able to design the cleaning jet without taking into account the flow rate of a possibly upstream flow rate regulator, it is further provided in
Vorteilhaft kann es sein, wenn der By-Pass-Kanal sich wenigstens in zumindest einem konischen Teilabschnitt in Richtung zu seiner abströmseitigen Kanalöffnung hin verjüngt oder verengt, und wenn der By-Pass-Kanal den Strahlzerleger durchsetzt. Da der zumindest eine By-Pass-Kanal gemäß dem in geltenden Patentanspruch 2 beschriebenen Erfindungsvorschlag sich wenigstens in zumindest einem konischen Teilabschnitt in Richtung zu seiner abströmseitigen Kanalöffnung hin verjüngt oder verengt, kann im By-Pass-Kanal auch mittels der vergleichsweise geringen Durchflussleistung ein effektiver Flüssigkeits- oder Reinigungsstrahl geformt werden. Da die gemäß diesem Erfindungsvorschlag ausgebildete Einsetzeinheit einen By-Pass-Kanal hat, der den Strahlzerleger durchsetzt, kann ein Flüssigkeits- oder Reinigungsstrahl ohne Rücksicht auf den Strahlzerleger und gegebenenfalls den vorgeschalteten Durchflussmengenregler geformt werden.It can be advantageous if the by-pass channel tapers or narrows at least in at least one conical section towards its downstream channel opening, and if the by-pass channel passes through the jet splitter. Since the at least one by-pass channel according to the proposed invention described in
Eine konstruktiv besonders einfache und mit geringem Aufwand herstellbare besondere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der By-Pass-Kanal eine zuströmseitige Kanalöffnung hat, die im Flüssigkeitsweg unterhalb zumindest einer der Zerlegeröffnungen und insbesondere unterhalb von zumindest zwei der Zerlegeröffnungen angeordnet ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird ein Flüssigkeits- oder Reinigungsstrahl aus zumindest einem, im Strahlzerleger gebildeten Einzelstrahl erzeugt. Dabei sieht eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform, die sich durch einen besonders effektiven Reinigungsstrahl auszeichnet, vor, dass der geringste lichte Kanalquerschnitt des zumindest einen By-Pass-Kanals eine lichte Querschnittsfläche umfasst, die kleiner ist, als die Quer-schnittsfläche der in die zuströmseitige Kanalöffnung mün-denden Zerlegeröffnung oder als die Summe der lichten Querschnittsflächen der in die zuströmseitige Kanalöffnung mündenden Zerlegeröffnungen.A special embodiment of the invention that is structurally particularly simple and can be produced with little effort provides that the by-pass channel has an inflow-side channel opening which is arranged in the liquid path below at least one of the separation openings and in particular below at least two of the separation openings. In this embodiment, a liquid or cleaning jet is generated from at least one individual jet formed in the jet splitter. A particularly advantageous embodiment, which is characterized by a particularly effective cleaning jet, provides that the smallest clear channel cross section of the at least one by-pass channel comprises a clear cross-sectional area that is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the channel opening in the inflow side opening into the cutting opening or as the sum of the clear ones Cross-sectional areas of the disassembly openings opening into the inflow-side channel opening.
Möglich ist es, dass der Strahlzerleger als Lochplatte ausgebildet ist. Demgegenüber sieht eine andere Ausführungsform, die insbesondere bei geringen Wasserdrücken Vorteile bietet, vor, dass der Strahlzerleger als Diffusor ausgebildet ist, der eine Prallfläche hat, welche das anströmende Wasser in Richtung zu Zerlegeröffnungen umlenkt, welche in einer Außenumfangswandung des Diffusors vorgesehen sind. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird das ausströmende Wasser zunächst an der Prallfläche des zumindest in diesem Teilbereich beispielsweise topfförmig ausgebildeten Diffusors abgebremst und umgelenkt, bevor das derart insbesondere nach außen umgelenkte Wasser in den Zerlegeröffnungen in Einzelstrahlen aufgeteilt wird, welche Zerlegeröffnungen in der Außenumfangswandung des Diffusors vorgesehen sind.It is possible that the beam splitter is designed as a perforated plate. In contrast, another embodiment, which offers advantages particularly at low water pressures, provides that the jet splitter is designed as a diffuser which has a baffle surface which deflects the incoming water towards splitter openings which are provided in an outer peripheral wall of the diffuser. In this embodiment, the outflowing water is first slowed down and deflected on the baffle surface of the diffuser, which is pot-shaped, for example, at least in this partial area, before the water deflected in this way, in particular outwards, is divided into individual jets in the separation openings, which separation openings are provided in the outer peripheral wall of the diffuser.
Um im Bereich des Strahlzerlegers einen Unterdruck zu erzeugen, mittels dem Umgebungsluft in den Gehäuseinnenraum des Einsetzgehäuses eingesaugt werden kann, sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass die Außenumfangswandung des Diffusors von einem Diffusorring umgeben ist, und dass zwischen der Außenumfangswandung und dem Diffusorring ein Ringspalt vorgesehen ist, der sich in Durchströmrichtung des Wassers zumindest abschnittsweise verjüngt.In order to generate a negative pressure in the area of the jet splitter, by means of which ambient air can be sucked into the housing interior of the insert housing, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the outer peripheral wall of the diffuser is surrounded by a diffuser ring, and that between the outer peripheral wall and the diffuser ring an annular gap is provided, which tapers at least in sections in the direction of flow of the water.
Störungen durch im Wasserstrom mitgeführte Schmutzpartikel lassen sich vermeiden, und eine störungsfreie Funktion der Einsetzeinheit und ihrer Bestandteile lässt sich erreichen, wenn die Einsetzeinheit ein Filtersieb hat, welches Filtersieb in Zuströmrichtung vor dem Strahlzerleger und gegebenenfalls vor dem dazwischengeschalteten Durchflussmengenregler angeordnet ist.Disturbances caused by dirt particles carried in the water flow can be avoided, and trouble-free functioning of the insertion unit and its components can be achieved if the insertion unit has a filter sieve, which filter sieve is arranged in the inflow direction in front of the jet splitter and, if necessary, in front of the intermediate flow rate regulator.
Wenn der By-Pass-Kanal den Strahlzerleger und gegebenenfalls auch einen vorgeschalteten Durchflussmengenregler durchsetzt, kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenn die zuströmseitige Kanalöffnung des By-Pass-Kanals in Zuströmrichtung unmittelbar unterhalb des Filtersiebs angeordnet ist. Dabei wird auch vermieden, dass die im Wasser mitgeführten Schmutzpartikel die im By-Pass-Kanal vorgesehene Düsenöffnung verstopfen oder auch nur verengen können.If the by-pass channel passes through the jet splitter and possibly also an upstream flow rate regulator, it may be expedient if the inflow-side channel opening of the by-pass channel is arranged directly below the filter sieve in the inflow direction. This also prevents the dirt particles carried in the water from clogging or even narrowing the nozzle opening provided in the by-pass channel.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Filtersieb sich in Durchströmrichtung vorzugsweise kegelförmig erweitert. Diese Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, dass die beispielsweise aus dem zuströmseitigen Vorsatz- oder Filtersieb, einem abströmseitigen Strahlregler sowie erforderlichenfalls einem dazwischen geschalteten Durchflussmengenregler oder Durchflussbegrenzer gebildete Einsetzeinheit zumindest an ihrem äußeren Umfangsrand mit einer vergleichsweise geringen Längserstreckung ausgebildet werden kann, obwohl die Sieboberfläche des in den zuströmseitigen lichten Querschnitt der Auslaufarmatur vorstehenden Vorsatz- oder Filtersiebes vergleichsweise groß ausgebildet wurde.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the filter screen expands, preferably conically, in the direction of flow. This embodiment has the advantage that it consists, for example, of the inflow-side attachment or filter screen, an outflow-side jet regulator and, if necessary, a flow rate regulator connected in between or flow restrictor formed insertion unit can be designed at least on its outer peripheral edge with a comparatively small longitudinal extent, although the sieve surface of the attachment or filter sieve protruding into the inflow-side clear cross section of the outlet fitting was made comparatively large.
Eine andere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Filtersieb eine trichterförmige Form hat, und dass die Trichterform des Filtersiebes sich in Richtung zu einer zuströmseitigen Kanalöffnung des zumindest einen By-Pass-Kanals hin verjüngt.Another embodiment of the invention provides that the filter sieve has a funnel-shaped shape, and that the funnel shape of the filter sieve tapers towards an inflow-side channel opening of the at least one by-pass channel.
Damit in der erfindungsgemäßen Einsetzeinheit ein außenliegender weicher und nicht-spritzender Gesamtstrahl geformt werden kann, der einen in seinem Zentrum angeordneten und dort leicht auffindbaren harten Reinigungsstrahl umschließt, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der By-Pass-Kanal etwa koaxial zur Längsmittelachse des Einsetzgehäuses angeordnet ist.So that an external soft and non-splashing overall jet can be formed in the insertion unit according to the invention, which encloses a hard cleaning jet that is arranged in its center and can be easily found there, it is advantageous if the by-pass channel is arranged approximately coaxially to the longitudinal central axis of the insertion housing .
Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der By-Pass-Kanal sich zur Erzeugung eines Wasserstrahles in Richtung zu einer vorzugsweise zentralen Düsenöffnung hin verjüngt, welche Düsenöffnung den geringsten lichten Querschnitt des By-Pass-Kanals aufweist.A further development of the invention provides that the by-pass channel tapers towards a preferably central nozzle opening in order to generate a water jet, which nozzle opening has the smallest clear cross section of the by-pass channel.
Vorteilhaft kann es sein, wenn der Ringspalt oder die Düsenöffnung eine abströmseitige Kanalöffnung des By-Pass-Kanals bilden. Bei dieser Ausführungsform kann ein zu reinigender Gegenstand in geringem Abstand unterhalb der Kanalöffnung des By-Pass-Kanals angeordnet werden, so dass dieser Reinigungsstrahl praktisch ungehindert auf den zu reinigenden Gegenstand auftrifft und dort seine Reinigungskraft voll entfalten kann.It can be advantageous if the annular gap or the nozzle opening forms a downstream channel opening of the by-pass channel. In this embodiment, an object to be cleaned can be arranged at a short distance below the channel opening of the by-pass channel, so that this cleaning jet hits the object to be cleaned practically unhindered and can fully develop its cleaning power there.
Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung vor, dass die abströmseitige Kanalöffnung des By-Pass-Kanals etwa in einer abströmseitigen Stirnebene des Einsetzgehäuses angeordnet ist.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the downstream channel opening of the by-pass channel is arranged approximately in a downstream end plane of the insert housing.
Damit das durch den Flüssigkeitsweg im Einsetzgehäuse durchströmende Wasser auslaufseitig wieder zu einem weichen und nicht-spritzenden Gesamtstrahl geformt werden kann, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn an einer abströmseitigen Stirnebene des Einsetzgehäuses eine Gitterstruktur vorgesehen ist mit etwa wabenzellenförmigen Gitteröffnungen. Dabei können die die Gitterstruktur bildenden Stege eine in Durchströmrichtung orientierte Längserstreckung haben, die im Vergleich zum maximalen lichten Öffnungsquerschnitt der Gitteröffnungen gleich oder größer ist. Durch die wabenzellenförmige Ausgestaltung der Gitteröffnungen wird dem durchströmenden Wasser nur ein geringer Widerstand entgegengesetzt und dennoch lässt sich besonders gut ein nicht-spritzender Gesamtstrahl formen.So that the water flowing through the liquid path in the insert housing can be formed into a soft and non-splashing overall jet on the outlet side, it is expedient if a grid structure with approximately honeycomb cell shape is provided on an outflow-side end face of the insert housing Grid openings. The webs forming the grid structure can have a longitudinal extent oriented in the flow direction, which is the same or larger than the maximum clear opening cross section of the grid openings. Due to the honeycomb cell-shaped design of the grid openings, there is only a small resistance to the water flowing through and yet a non-splashing overall jet can be formed particularly well.
Um aus dem im Flüssigkeitsweg geführten Wasser einen nicht-spritzenden Gesamtstrahl formen zu können und um gegebenenfalls auch das Durchmischen dieses Wasserstromes mit Umgebungsluft zu begünstigen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in das Einsetzgehäuse zumindest ein vorzugsweise ringförmiges Einsetzteil eingesetzt ist, das eine im Flüssigkeitsweg zwischengeschaltete Gitter- oder Netzstruktur aufweist.In order to be able to form a non-splashing overall jet from the water guided in the liquid path and, if necessary, to promote the mixing of this water stream with ambient air, it is advantageous if at least one preferably annular insert part is inserted into the insert housing, which has a grid interposed in the liquid path - or network structure.
Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung vor, dass in das Einsetzgehäuse mehrere Einsetzteile eingesetzt sind, die im Flüssigkeitsweg unterhalb der Strahlzerleger angeordnet sind.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that several insert parts are inserted into the insert housing, which are arranged in the liquid path below the jet splitter.
Um einen perlend-weichen Gesamtstrahl zu erzeugen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das sanitäre Einsetzteil zum Durchmischen des durch den Flüssigkeitsweg durchströmenden Wassers mit Umgebungsluft zumindest einen Belüftungskanal hat, der im Flüssigkeitsweg vorzugsweise unterhalb dem Strahlzerleger mündet.In order to produce a pearly-soft overall jet, it is advantageous if the sanitary insert part for mixing the water flowing through the liquid path with ambient air has at least one ventilation channel, which opens in the liquid path, preferably below the jet splitter.
Dazu sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung vor, dass der zumindest eine Belüftungskanal als eine in einer Gehäuseumfangswandung des Einsetzgehäuses vorgesehene Gehäuseöffnung ausgebildet ist.For this purpose, a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the at least one ventilation channel is designed as a housing opening provided in a housing peripheral wall of the insert housing.

Im Gehäuseinnenraum des Einsetzgehäuses 2 der Einsetzeinheit 1 ist ein Flüssigkeitsweg vorgesehen, durch den durchströmendes Wasser geführt werden kann. In diesem Flüssigkeitsweg ist ein Strahlzerleger 9 vorgesehen, der eine Mehrzahl von Zerlegeröffnungen 11 hat, die das durchströmende Wasser in eine Mehrzahl von Einzelstrahlen aufteilen. Dem Strahlzerleger 9 der Einsetzeinheiten 1 ist im Flüssigkeitsweg zumindest eine Gitter- oder Netzstruktur 14, 15 nachgeschaltet, die als Strömungsgleichrichter oder als Homogenisiereinrichtung wirkt und die vom Strahlzerleger kommenden Einzelstrahlen gegebenenfalls nach deren Anreicherung und Durchmischung mit Umgebungsluft zu einem aus dem Einsetzgehäuse 2 austretenden weichen, nicht-spritzenden Gesamtstrahl formen soll. Die Einsetzeinheiten 1hat zumindest einen den Flüssigkeitsweg zumindest abschnittsweise umgehenden By-Pass-Kanal 16, der zur Erzeugung wenigstens eines beschleunigten Flüssigkeits- oder Reinigungsstrahles bestimmt ist. Dieser By-Pass-Kanal 16 hat dazu zumindest in einem Teilabschnitt einen sich verjüngenden lichten Kanalquerschnitt. In dem aus der Einsetzeinheit 1 ausströmenden Gesamtstrahl wird somit mit Hilfe des zumindest einen, als Düse ausgebildeten By-Pass-Kanals 16 ein im Vergleich zum Gesamtstrahl beschleunigter Reinigungsstrahl erzeugt, der sich durch eine hohe Reinigungskraft auszeichnet.In the housing interior of the
Um in dem aus dem Flüssigkeitsweg der Einsetzeinheit 1 ausströmenden Gesamtstrahl einen harten zentralen Reinigungsstrahl erzeugen zu können, der sich durch seine definierte Position im Strahlquerschnitt leicht auffinden lässt, ist der By-Pass-Kanal 16 etwa koaxial zur Längsmittelachse des Einsetzgehäuses 2 der Einsetzeinheit 1 angeordnet. Die an der abströmseitigen Stirnfläche des Einsetzgehäuses 2 vorgesehene Gitterstruktur 14, die hier einstückig an das Einsetzgehäuse 2 angeformt ist, weist wabenzellenförmige Gitteröffnungen 17 auf, die zwar aufgrund der Längserstreckung der diese Gitterstruktur 14 bildenden Stege das durchströmende Wasser gut führen und formen können, jedoch diesem Wasserstrom nur einen geringen Widerstand entgegensetzen. In das Einsetzgehäuse 2 der Einsetzeinheit 1 sind ringförmige Einsetzteile 28 eingesetzt, die eine im Flüssigkeitsweg zwischengeschaltete Gitter- oder Netzstruktur 15 aufweisen. Die Einsetzteile 28 der hier dargestellten Einsetzeinheit 1 weisen dazu eine spinnennetzartige Struktur aus konzentrischen Stegen auf, die sich an Kreuzungsknoten mit radialen Stegen kreuzen. Die in den Einsetzteilen 28 ausgebildeten Gitter- oder Netzstrukturen 15 begünstigen eine gute Durchmischung des durchströmenden Wassers mit der in den Gehäuseinnenraum des Einsetzgehäuses 2 angesaugten Umgebungsluft.In order to be able to generate a hard central cleaning jet in the overall jet flowing out of the liquid path of the
Der im Flüssigkeitsweg der Einsetzeinheit 1 geführte Wasserstrom wird in den Zerlegeröffnungen 11 der Strahlzerleger 9 in Einzelstrahlen aufgeteilt, wobei diese Einzelstrahlen eine Geschwindigkeitserhöhung erfahren, die auf der Abströmseite des Strahlzerlegers 9 einen Unterdruck erzeugt. Mit Hilfe dieses Unterdrucks wird Umgebungsluft in den Flüssigkeitsweg angesaugt. Die sanitären Einsetzeinheit 1 weist dazu zumindest einen Belüftungskanal auf, der im Flüssigkeitsweg unterhalb dem Strahlzerleger 9 mündet. Dieser zumindest eine Belüftungskanal ist hier als eine in der Gehäuseumfangswandung des Einsetzgehäuses 2 vorgesehene Gehäuseöffnung 18 ausgebildet.The water flow guided in the liquid path of the
Um die pro Zeiteinheit durchströmende Wassermenge auf einen festgelegten Maximalwert zu begrenzen, ist im Einsetzgehäuse 2 zuströmseitig vor dem Strahlzerleger 9 ein Durchflussmengenregler 19 vorgesehen, der das durchströmende Wasser auf eine druckunabhängige maximale Durchflussleistung einregelt. Der in der Einsetzeinheit 1 verwendete Durchflussmengenregler 19 weist einen elastischen ringförmigen Drosselkörper 20 aus elastischem Material auf, der einen Reglerkern 21 umgreift und zwischen sich und einer, an der Außenumfangswandung des Reglerkerns oder einer den Drosselkörper 20 umgebenden Innenumfangswandung vorgesehenen Regelprofilierung einen Steuerspalt begrenzt, welcher Steuerspalt sich unter dem Druck des durchströmenden Wassers derart verändert, dass die Durchflussleistung des Durchflussmengenreglers 20 einen druckunabhängigen Maximalwert nicht übersteigt.In order to limit the amount of water flowing through per unit of time to a fixed maximum value, a

Damit im Leitungsnetz mitgerissene Schmutzpartikel nicht die Funktion der Einsetzeinheit 1 und ihrer Bestandteile beeinträchtigen können, weist die Einsetzeinheit 1 ein Filtersieb 25 auf, das in Zuströmrichtung vor dem Strahlzerleger 9 und gegebenenfalls auch vor dem dazwischengeschalteten Durchflussmengenregler 19 angeordnet ist. Das Filtersieb 25 der Einsetzeinheit 1 ist trichterförmig ausgebildet, wobei die Trichterform dieses Filtersiebes 25 sich in Richtung zu einer zuströmseitigen Kanalöffnung des zumindest einen, in der Einsetzeinheit 1 vorgesehenen By-Pass-Kanals 16 hin verjüngt.So that dirt particles entrained in the pipe network cannot impair the function of the
Um einen lanzenförmigen zentralen Reinigungsstrahl zu erzeugen, verjüngt sich der By-Pass-Kanal 16 der in den
Die Düsenöffnung des in der Einsetzeinheit 1 vorgesehenen By-Pass-Kanals 16 bildet eine abströmseitige Kanalöffnung. Obwohl der in der Einsetzeinheit 1 vorgeschaltete Durchflussmengenregler 19 den aus dem Flüssigkeitsweg austretenden Wasserstrahl stark abschwächen kann, wird in den Einsetzeinheit 1 zusätzlich ein demgegenüber harter Reinigungsstrahl bereitgestellt, der dennoch ein effektives Reinigen von verschmutzen Händen, Zahnbürsten, Rasierern oder anderen Gegenständen ermöglicht. Dabei wird eine Teilmenge des zu der Einsetzeinheit 1 anströmenden Wassers in dem zumindest einen By-Pass-Kanal 16 aufgefangen, dort gebündelt und anschließend durch eine als Ringspalt oder als Loch ausgeführte Düsenöffnung geführt. In dem als Düse ausgebildeten By-Pass-Kanal 16 entsteht der gebündelte, verhältnismäßig hart austretende Reinigungsstrahl, der stark genug ist, um auch einen verschmutzten Gegenstand besser reinigen zu können. Erforderlichenfalls kann die durch den By-Pass-Kanal 16 geführte Wassermenge durch den im Einsetzgehäuse 2 vorgeschalteten Durchflussmengenregler 19 mitgeregelt werden. Der durch den Flüssigkeitsweg geführte Wasserstrom, der nicht in dem düsenartig ausgebildeten By-Pass-Kanal 16 aufgefangen wird, durchläuft, wie bei einem gewöhnlichen Strahlregler oder Strahlbelüfter, zunächst den Strahlzerleger 9 und anschließend die dem Strahlzerleger 9 nachgeordneten Gitter- oder Netzstrukturen 14, 15, die als Strömungsgleichrichter oder auch als Homogenisiereinrichtung dienen. Der in der Einsetzeinheit 1 mittig angeordnete gebündelte, scharfe Reinigungsstrahl wird von dem aus dem Flüssigkeitsweg ausströmenden weichen Gesamtstrahl umfangsseitig umhüllt, so dass der Reinigungsstrahl praktisch nicht sichtbar ist. Dem Anwender wird der Eindruck vermittelt, einen gewöhnlichen Wasserstrahl vor sich zu haben, mit dem aber bei Bedarf auch eine ausreichende Reinigungswirkung erzielt werden kann.The nozzle opening of the by-
