Embodiment Construction

[0049] figure 1 A schematic diagram of a bathroom is shown. A drive device 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is arranged in the bathroom. Functions on the sanitary fitting 2 can be triggered via the drive 1 . In the illustrated embodiment, the sanitary fitting 2 is a toilet and the function triggered by the drive device 1 is flushing of the toilet. As described below, the drive device 1 is configured such that light waves L7 are emitted by the transmitter 7 and light waves L8 reflected by the user can be detected again by the receiver 8 . In this way, the user can be identified as such and the function can be triggered, or alternatively the distance to the user can be measured so that the distance to the sanitary fitting 2 can be determined and then the function triggered based on the distance.

[0050] figure 2 A preferred embodiment of the arrangement of the transmitter 7 and the receiver 8 is shown. In this case, the emitter 7 and the receiver 8 a...

Abstract

The invention relates to a drive device (1) for a sanitary fitting (2), in order to trigger a function in the event of identifying a user, comprising: a housing (3) having a lateral surface (5), whichextends substantially in the horizontal direction in the installed position; and a sensor unit (6), in particular a photosensor unit (6), arranged at least partially in the housing (3), having a transmitter (7) for transmitting light waves (L7) and a receiver (8) for detecting light waves (L8) reflected by a user; a transmission region (9) which is arranged in the region of the side surface (5) or in the side surface (5) and by means of which a light wave (L7) can be transmitted and a reflected light wave (L8) can be received, respectively; the drive device (1) further comprises an optical unit (10) which is configured and arranged such that light waves (L7) from the emitter can be input into the optical unit (10) as shown in the horizontal direction and can be output from the optical unit (10) at an angle ([alpha]) of 5-30 degrees, in particular 10-25 degrees, through the transmission zone (9), and the reflected light waves (L8) can be fed into the optical unit (10) through the transmission zone (9) at an angle (beta) equal to the angle ([alpha]) and discharged to the receiver (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a drive device with user identification according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Driver boards for user identification are known from the prior art. For example, EP 3 031 989 discloses such a driver board in which the sensor is arranged in the housing. [0003] EP 2 497 868 discloses a further device for electrically triggering the water supply, wherein a sensor monitors the space in front of the device through a specific surface area at the front. The device according to EP 2 497 868 provides an effective triggering device, but has the disadvantage that the production method of the front plate is very complicated. [0004] Practical use of such driver boards has shown that functional reliability may substantially depend on the installation situation. Furthermore, false actuations often occur due to the detection of persons who are only passing by the device and are not interested in triggering. ...
