Definitions
- the invention relates to a sanitary fitting for attachment to an installation wall, with a fitting body having a hot water inlet and a cold water inlet and with a valve device serving to shut off and optionally for mixing, the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet lying in an inlet plane running at right angles to the installation wall.
- Sanitary fittings of the type mentioned are widely known from practice. This can be surface-mounted or flush-mounted fittings; In the following - without restriction for the invention - surface fittings are always assumed.
- the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet are located on an inlet housing which is approximately horizontally arranged in the installed state of the sanitary fitting and is connected to the valve device.
- the valve device is arranged in the inlet plane of the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet, specifically, starting from the installation wall, in front of the inlet housing. Because of this arrangement, the known sanitary fitting is comparatively far from the installation wall. For certain applications, this is an enormous disadvantage, namely in particular in the case of small shower cubicles, in which there is little space available for the user anyway.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary fitting of the type mentioned at the outset, which projects as little as possible from the installation wall and thus has the smallest possible depth.
- the previously derived and shown object is achieved according to the invention in a sanitary fitting and in particular in a surface-mounted fitting of the type mentioned in that the valve device is arranged outside, ie below or above, the inlet level.
- the invention thus provides a completely new arrangement, which is characterized by a very small structural depth, ie is very flat, since the valve device is no longer arranged in the inlet plane like the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet. This makes it possible to increase the depth of the sanitary fitting by the length or depth of the valve device reduce. This is of considerable advantage, especially in small shower cubicles, since the usable space in the shower cubicle is thereby considerably enlarged.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of a sanitary fitting according to the invention, partly in cross section, with the cover removed,
- Fig. 2 is a side view of the sanitary fitting according to the invention with the cover and
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the sanitary fitting from Fig. 1, but without one in the
- Fig. 1 indicated battery compartment.
- a sanitary fitting 1 is shown, which is a surface-mounted fitting for attachment to an installation wall, not shown, in the present case.
- the sanitary fitting could also be a concealed fitting.
- the sanitary fitting 1 has a fitting body 2, which is provided with a hot water inlet 3 and a cold water inlet 4.
- the sanitary fitting 1 has a valve device 5 which is arranged inside the fitting body 2 and at least serves to shut off and in the present case also to mix the water. 1 shows that the hot water inlet 3 and the cold water inlet 4 lie in a common inlet plane E which, when the sanitary fitting 1 is installed, extends at right angles to the installation wall (not shown).
- valve device 5 is not arranged in the inflow level E, but rather outside, ie above or below, this inflow level E.
- the arrangement of the valve device 5 above or below the inflow level E means here that none of the valves of the valve device 5 is arranged in the inflow level E and that the valve device 5 as a whole preferably also the supply running level E not touched. As described above, this leads to a considerable reduction in the overall depth of the sanitary fitting 1 as a whole.
- the arrangement of the sanitary fitting 1 changed according to the invention is such that the hot water inlet 3 and the cold water inlet 4 are provided on a common inlet housing 6 of the fitting body 2 which runs approximately horizontally when the sanitary fitting 1 is installed.
- Both a hot water outlet 7 and a cold water outlet 8 go from the inlet housing 6 to the valve device 5, the hot water outlet 7 and the cold water outlet 8 being arranged approximately perpendicular to the inlet plane E.
- the valve device 5 has an overall elongated shape, the longitudinal axis A of the valve device 5 running parallel to the inlet housing 6.
- the valve device perpendicular to the inlet housing.
- the sanitary fitting would have a comparatively large longitudinal extent.
- the valve device 5 is arranged below the inlet housing 6. Therefore, the hot water outlet 7 and the cold water outlet 8 also go down from the inlet housing 6 to the valve device 5. It is also possible to arrange the valve device above and parallel to the inlet housing.
- the valve device 5 has a mixing valve unit 9 and a shut-off valve unit 10.
- the mixing valve unit 9 is used to mix the hot water and the cold water to achieve a mixed water predetermined temperature.
- the mixing valve unit 9 is a thermostatic mixing valve unit.
- the shut-off valve unit 10 serves to open and close the sanitary fitting 1 and to adjust the quantity.
- the shut-off valve unit 10 is expediently arranged downstream of the mixing valve unit 9 in the flow direction, which means that the shut-off valve unit 10 is arranged in a mixed water channel 11 of the valve body 2. In principle, it would also be possible to arrange the shut-off valve unit upstream of the mixing valve unit.
- the mixing valve unit 9 and the shut-off valve unit 10 are arranged on the longitudinal axis A, which ultimately also results in the elongated shape of the valve device 5. Furthermore, to ensure the shallow depth of the sanitary fitting 1, it is provided that the mixed water outlet 12 is arranged in the flow direction behind and below the valve device 5 and is also directed downwards.
- a control device 14 having a keyboard 13 for controlling the valve device 5 is provided in the exemplary embodiment shown.
- the individual components of the control device 14 are arranged together with the keyboard 13 on a circuit board 15 which is located in front of the inlet housing 6 of the valve body 2.
- the circuit board 15 is held on a holder 16, which in turn can be fastened to the fitting body 2 or to the installation wall (not shown).
- all functions can be set via the keyboard 13, which can also be set via manual actuating elements, namely opening and closing and quantity and temperature setting. Furthermore, it is also possible, via the keyboard 13 and the control device 14, which has a microprocessor, to enter certain individually user-related programs.
- both the mixing valve unit 9 and the shut-off valve unit 10 are each assigned a servomotor 17, 18 coupled to the control device 14.
- the connection of the respective servomotors 17, 18 with the mixing valve unit 9 or the shut-off valve unit 10 takes place in each case via a gear unit 19 with a pinion 20 and a gear wheel 21.
- the gear unit 19 is followed by an actuating unit which is designed such that the rotary movement of the servomotors 17, 18 and the gearwheels 21 are each converted into a translatory movement of the valve body 22 of the mixing valve unit 9 or of the valve body 23 of the shut-off valve unit 10.
- the temperature and quantity are adjusted by means of a reciprocating movement of the respective valve bodies 22, 23.
- the servomotors 17, 18 themselves including the respective gear units 19 are flanged to the valve body 2 in the area of the mixing valve unit 9 on the one hand and the shut-off valve unit 10 on the other hand via corresponding flanges 24, 25 to achieve a sealing connection and for centering. Due to the aforementioned configuration, the servomotor 17 with the associated gear unit 19 and the actuating unit, the shut-off valve unit 10, the mixing valve unit 9, the gear unit 19 with the actuating unit and the servomotor 18 for the mixing valve unit 9 are arranged one behind the other below the inlet housing 6, seen from left to right .
- the mixing valve unit 9 has a proportional controller.
- This proportional controller enables fast temperature control to be achieved.
- a PID controller is provided, which is coupled to the servomotor 18 of the mixing valve unit 9.
- a temperature sensor 26 Associated with the PID controller is a temperature sensor 26, which is arranged in the mixed water channel 11, in the exemplary embodiment shown behind the valve body 23 of the shut-off valve unit 10.
- the sanitary fitting 1 also has a manually operated shut-off valve unit 27.
- This manual shut-off valve unit 27 which is arranged in the flow direction behind the shut-off valve unit 10, serves to actuate the sanitary fitting 1 if the motor-operated shut-off valve unit 10 should fail.
- the manual shut-off valve unit 27 is arranged in the mixed water channel 11 behind the motor-operated shut-off valve unit 10, it goes without saying that this shut-off valve unit 27 can also be arranged elsewhere.
- the sanitary fitting 1 is battery-operated and has a battery compartment 28 for this purpose.
- the battery compartment 28 has an elongated, in particular tubular, shape and is arranged approximately parallel to the inlet housing 6.
- a number of batteries 29 for supplying the control device 14 and the servomotors 17, 18 can be arranged in the battery compartment 28.
- the battery compartment 28 can be designed in one piece with the holder 16 of the circuit board 15 and together with this on the valve body 2 and / or the installation tion wall to be attached. Instead of using batteries, the sanitary fitting could of course also be connected to the electrical network.
- the keyboard 13 with the control device 14, the battery compartment 28 and the servomotors 17, 18 are sealed watertight against the installation wall by a cover 30 when the sanitary fitting 1 is installed.
- the cover 30 itself, which can also consist of several components, is designed such that it can be easily opened or removed at least in the area of the battery compartment 28.
- the keyboard 13 has pressure and / or proximity switches for actuation. In the area of the keyboard 13, the cover 30 is designed such that the sanitary fitting 1 can be actuated either by pressing the pressure switch or by approaching the proximity switch.
- attachment holes 31, 32, 33 are provided on the fitting body 2.
- there is a screw 34 in the fastening bore 33 by means of which the fitting body 2 can be screwed to a connection element (not shown here) in the installation wall.
- the fastening bores 31, 32 can also serve for fastening the holder 16.
- connection of the sanitary fitting 1 to the water network takes place in the present case via wall connections 35, 36 which are S-shaped.
- the wall connections 35, 36 each have a wall connection body 37 and a flange 38 which is rotatable relative to the wall connection body 37 for connection to the armature body 2 via corresponding flanges 39.
- the wall connections 35, 36 used in connection with the sanitary fitting 1 also contribute to achieving a small overall depth, since screw connections which take up a relatively large amount of space in the area of the hot water inlet 3 or the cold water inlet 4 in the inlet housing 6 are not required in each case.
