Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a water outlet device, particularly a sanitary water outlet device. Background Technology

[0002] It is known that a sleeve-shaped outlet nozzle is installed on the outlet end of a sanitary outlet fitting via a threaded connection, in which an insert can be embedded. An air- or non-air-permeable jet regulator is regularly arranged within this insert, which shapes the water flowing out of the outlet end of the outlet fitting into a jet stream consisting of individual jets flowing out separately, or into a uniform, non-jetting total jet. In previously known inserts, a pre-screen is often connected upstream of the jet regulator, which filters out scale residue or similar contaminant particles contained in the incoming water before they could adversely affect the fine structure within the jet regulator. Sanitary inserts are also known, in which a flow regulator or flow limiter is inserted intermediately between the pre-screen and the jet regulator, limiting the amount of water flowing through per unit time or regulating it to a maximum value determined independently of pressure.

[0003] Such previously known water outlet devices, which connect to the outlet fitting or another pipe section on the inflow side via screw-in threads, are mostly installed and removed only with considerable expense. If the water outlet device and the embedded cartridge within it must be replaced or replaced periodically, less installation and removal expense is desirable. Therefore, embedded cartridges used, for example, in hospitals must be replaced at regular intervals for hygiene reasons. Sprinkler systems for plant irrigation are also known, in which multiple water outlet devices are arranged at small intervals on the water pipe. Particularly in such applications, a water outlet device that can connect to the pipe section on the inflow side with reduced installation and removal expense is desired. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the objective is to provide a water outlet device of the type described at the beginning that requires significantly reduced installation and disassembly costs.

[0005] According to the present invention, the solution to this objective lies in a water outlet device of the type described at the beginning, particularly one having the features of the present invention.

[0006] The water outlet device according to the invention has a first outlet component on the inlet side and a second outlet component on the outlet side, which are movable between a disengaged position and a used position. Here, the outlet components of the water outlet device according to the invention are connected to each other in the flow direction in their used position and can be detachably fixed to each other by a threadless quick-connect coupling. Since the first outlet component on the inlet side and the sleeve-shaped second outlet component on the outlet side can be detachably fixed to each other by a threadless quick-connect coupling, these outlet components can be quickly installed and removed. The quick installation and removal of the water outlet device according to the invention can be used to insert or remove jet-forming and / or jet-regulating elements located in the sleeve cavity of the first outlet component on the inlet side and / or the second outlet component on the outlet side. To further facilitate the insertion or removal of these jet-forming and / or jet-regulating elements from the sleeve cavity of the first outlet component on the inlet side and / or the second outlet component on the outlet side, it is suitable that these jet-forming and / or jet-regulating elements are held in an insert sleeve that can be inserted into or screwed into the sleeve cavity of at least one of the outlet components.

[0007] In the water outlet device according to the invention, it is suitable that an insert cylinder having a jet regulator and / or flow regulator and / or pre-screen can be embedded or screwed into the sleeve cavity of the second outlet component on the discharge side. The jet regulator in the insert cylinder shapes the flowing water into a jet stream discharged from multiple individual single jets or into a uniform, non-splashing total jet, while the flow regulator is used to limit the amount of water flowing per unit time or to regulate it to a determined maximum value independent of pressure. If the insert cylinder provided in the water outlet device according to the invention additionally or alternatively also has a pre-screen, the pre-screen is used to filter out scale residue or similar contaminant particles that may be contained in the inflowing water before these contaminant particles may adversely affect the function of the jet regulator, pre-screen, and / or flow regulator following on the discharge side.

[0008] Additionally or alternatively, to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, another suggestion with its own protective significance is proposed in this invention. For the subject matter of the invention as described, a quick-connect coupling is characterized on the outside of and axially spaced from the second outlet component, between a first outlet component on the inlet side and a second outlet component on the outlet side. Because the quick-connect coupling is arranged on the first outlet component on the outside of and axially spaced from the second outlet component, the operation of the quick-connect coupling and the rapid installation and removal of the outlet components that can be connected to each other via the quick-connect coupling are significantly simplified.

[0009] It is possible that the insert carrying the jet regulator and / or flow regulator and / or pre-screen can be inserted into the sleeve cavity of the first outlet component on the inflow side. However, when the insert can be inserted into the sleeve cavity of the second outlet component from the inflow side end of the second outlet component on the discharge side, such an insert can be inserted significantly more easily and removed again when needed. Since the second outlet component is separated from the first outlet component in the disengaged position, the insert can be detached from the installation state clamped in the use position so that the insert can then be removed from the sleeve cavity of the second outlet component and replaced.

[0010] In one preferred embodiment, the insert can be inserted into the sleeve cavity of the second outlet component on the outflow side until the insert abuts against an insert stop disposed on the inner circumference of the sleeve of the second outlet component. The insert stop restricts the insertion movement of the insert in the second outlet component.

[0011] According to a particularly simple embodiment of the invention, the insert stop is constructed as an annular shoulder surrounding the inner circumference of the sleeve of the second outlet component. This construction eliminates the need for an anti-rotation portion between the insert stop and the insert cylinder abutting against it.

[0012] A particular advantage is that the insert has a shell with a mating stop, preferably configured as an annular flange or an annular shoulder, on its outer periphery, which rests against the insert in the use position. If the insert has a mating stop configured as an annular flange or an annular shoulder on its shell, the insert can be reliably and securely held in the second outlet component even under high water pressure, without needing to consider its relative position to the second outlet component during installation.

[0013] An advantageous application example of the water outlet device according to the invention specifies that the corresponding insert can be quickly and easily detachably fixed to the outlet end of the sanitary outlet fitting by means of the water outlet device according to the invention. However, it is also possible that the water outlet device according to the invention is part of a plant irrigation device, and the plant irrigation device preferably has a plurality of water outlet devices spaced apart from each other.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the threadless quick-connector between the connector or the outlet component is configured as a plug-in / rotary connection device. Such a plug-in / rotary connection device allows the outlet components to be connected quickly but under load, thus eliminating the need for a threaded connection between the outlet components.

[0015] If an annular flange or annular shoulder of a quick-connector is provided on the outer peripheral side of one outlet component, preferably the first outlet component, and if at least one spring tab of the quick-connector is provided on another outlet component, particularly the second outlet component, the spring tab is movable between a pop-out disengaged position and a pop-in retaining position relative to it, in which the at least one spring tab engages the annular flange or annular shoulder of the quick-connector from behind with a locking protrusion formed on its free tab end, then the second outlet component on the discharge side can be easily and load-bearingly secured to the first outlet component on the inflow side in its use position. When the second outlet component is to be disengaged from the first outlet component and subsequently approaches the sleeve cavity of the second outlet component, the quick-connector between the outlet components can be quickly disengaged by simply popping out the at least one spring tab.

[0016] According to a particularly load-bearing but simple embodiment of the invention, at least two spring tabs, preferably arranged in pairs on opposite sides of one of the outlet components and particularly on the second outlet component, are provided.

[0017] If the spring contacts are connected by elastically deformable connecting rings acting on both sides of the spring contacts, and if the spring contacts can be ejected from their holding position to their disengaged position by applying pressure to the connecting rings on the outside in at least one annular section spaced apart from the water outlet device, the operation of the spring contacts can be further simplified, and the paired spring contacts can enter their disengaged position simultaneously and easily in practice. Therefore, by simply applying pressure to the connecting rings on the outside, the paired spring contacts can simultaneously enter their disengaged position, in which the second outlet component on the outflow side can be separated from the first outlet component on the inflow side.

[0018] According to a particularly practical embodiment of the invention, the connecting ring has a generally elliptical ring shape, and a pair of spring tabs are formed on the connecting ring in the closest opposing portions of the elliptical ring. By applying pressure to the connecting ring, particularly in the outer portion opposite to it, the connecting ring can be transformed from its elliptical ring shape into an approximately circular ring shape, allowing the spring tabs to pop out to their disengaged position.

[0019] According to a functional and particularly easy-to-operate embodiment of the invention, the at least one spring tab is formed onto the outlet component in a tab section spaced apart from the two tab ends of the spring tab, the tab section dividing the spring tab into two tab arms, wherein a first tab arm carries a locking protrusion on its free tab end and wherein a second tab arm is configured as a pressure button, and the at least one spring tab is resiliently pivotable about a pivot axis in a region between the tab section and the outlet component formed thereon, such that the at least one spring tab can move from a holding position to a disengaged position by applying pressure to its pressure button.

[0020] According to a particularly advantageous improvement of the invention, one of the outlet components and the preferred inflow-side outlet component have at least one coupling pin, which can be inserted into a coupling opening disposed on another outlet component. The at least one coupling pin and the insertion opening of the quick-connector can be connected to each other in an insertion direction transverse to the longitudinal extension orientation of the outlet component. The outlet component is protected from disengagement from the at least one coupling pin from the insertion opening disposed thereon by means of a sleeve-shaped locking element, which form-lockingly surrounds each outlet component in its use position.

[0021] According to an extended embodiment of the invention, it can be configured as a water outlet device, and in particular as a sanitary water outlet device, wherein an insert cylinder can be embedded in the sleeve cavity of at least one outlet component, and in particular the outflow side of the outlet component, the insert cylinder comprising a jet regulator and / or a flow regulator and / or a pre-screen.

[0022] If this extended embodiment is configured as a water outlet device, the insert can be embedded or screwed into at least one of the outlet components, and preferably embedded or screwed into the second outlet component on the discharge side. To reliably and liquid-tightly connect the outlet components that are arranged with each other, additional fixing parts can be provided, for example, formed on the first outlet component on the inflow side by a tenon-and-groove disengagement device and on the inner side of the push sleeve that overlaps each outlet component in the holding position. The push sleeve may also have a circumferential protrusion on its inner circumference and be reliably connected to each other by a corresponding holding device on the outer circumference of the first outlet component on the inflow side, or conversely, by means of a corresponding holding device on the outer circumference of the first outlet component on the inflow side.

[0023] According to a particularly simple and readily manufactureable embodiment of the invention, a first outlet component on the inlet side has a push-in groove, and a second outlet component on the outlet side has at least one push-in wing protruding circumferentially on its side, which can be pushed laterally into the push-in groove until the use position. In this advantageous embodiment of the water outlet device according to the invention, the second outlet component on the outlet side can be pushed into the push-in groove by its at least one circumferentially protruding push-in wing, which is laterally disposed on the first outlet component on the inlet side. Here, the at least one push-in wing on the second outlet component on the outlet side is pushed laterally into its push-in groove until the use position, in which the outlet components are aligned with each other in the flow direction.

[0024] If the pusher wing is constructed as an annular flange surrounding the second outlet component, the operation of the quick coupler connecting the outlet components to each other is significantly simplified. Therefore, the pusher wing disposed on the second outlet component can be easily moved laterally into the pusher slot on the first outlet component from any rotational position of the second outlet component.

[0025] According to another particularly simple and advantageous embodiment of the invention, the plug-in / rotational connection is configured as a bayonet or snap-fit ​​connection, and one outlet component can be pushed onto another outlet component until a connector pin or similar connector protrusion protruding on the outer or inner circumferential side of the one outlet component engages from behind an edge region disposed on the other outlet component and oriented transversely to the push-in direction.

[0026] To facilitate simple operation of water outlet devices with such bayonet or snap-fit ​​connections, it is advantageous that one outlet component can be pushed onto another outlet component until a push stop provided on one of the outlet components restricts the insertion or pushing movement of the outlet components relative to each other.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the invention, which is structurally simple and readily manufactured, the push stop is constructed as an annular shoulder.

[0028] To enable the simple insertion / rotational movements required to operate the quick connector, it is advantageous to have at least one actuating element disposed on the outer peripheral side and preferably radially protruding on the outlet component that can be moved to the other outlet component. The at least one actuating element disposed on the outer peripheral side and preferably radially protruding simplifies the insertion and, in particular, rotational movements of the outlet components relative to each other, which is necessary for operating the quick connector disposed between the outlet components.

[0029] According to a particularly advantageous and practical embodiment of the invention, the at least one control element is configured as a control wing, and at least two control wings, preferably spaced apart from each other at equal intervals, protrude from the exit component.

Figure 25 Show Figure 24 The longitudinal section of the water outlet device. Detailed Implementation

[0032] Figures 1 to 25 Different embodiments of sanitary water outlet devices 1, 6, 16, 20, and 24 are shown. The water outlet devices 1, 6, 16, 20, and 24 shown herein are disposed at one or more outlet ends of a water pipe so that the water flowing out from there is shaped into a uniform total jet or into a jet stream formed by multiple individual jets and discharged.

[0033] The water outlet devices 1, 6, 16, 20, and 24 shown here each have a first outlet component 2 on the inlet side and a second outlet component 3 on the outlet side, which... Figure 4 and 5 The disengagement positions shown in 14 and 15, 18 and 19 or 22 and 23 are... Figures 1 to 3 The usage positions shown in 6 to 13, 16 to 17, 20 to 21 and 24 to 25 can move relative to each other and can be fixed to each other in the usage positions.

[0034] In the operating position, the first outlet component 2 and the sleeve-shaped second outlet component 3 are connected to each other and can be detachably secured to each other via a threadless quick-connect coupling 4. (As from...) Figure 1 , 3As can be seen from the cross-sectional views of 6, 11, 12, 17, 21, and 25, the insert cylinder 5 can be inserted into the sleeve cavity of the second outlet component 3 on the discharge side. This insert cylinder has a jet regulator and / or flow regulator and / or pre-screen. The jet regulator in the insert cylinder 5 shapes the outflowing water into a jet stream or into a uniform, non-splashing total jet, while the flow regulator should limit the amount of water flowing out per unit time or regulate it to a maximum value determined independently of pressure. The pre-screen 7, connected upstream to the insert cylinder 5, should filter out scale or other contaminant particles entrained in the inflowing water before they adversely affect the functionality of the flow regulator or jet regulator connected downstream in the insert cylinder 5.

[0035] As from Figures 1 to 25 As can be seen from the comparison, the quick connector 4 can be arranged on the outside of the first outlet component 2 and can be axially spaced apart from the second outlet component 3 in the use position.

[0036] from Figure 1 , 3 As can be seen from the comparison of 6, 11, 12, 14, 15, 18 to 19, 22 to 23 and 25, the insert cylinder 5 can be inserted into the sleeve cavity of the second outlet component 3 from the inflow side end of the outlet component 3 on the discharge side, until at least one outer peripheral side mating stop on the insert cylinder 5 abuts against at least one inner peripheral side inserting stop on the second outlet component 3. The inserting stop and / or mating stop can be constructed as annular shoulders 8 and 9, respectively, which surround the inner periphery of the sleeve of the second outlet component 3 or the outer periphery of the shell of the insert cylinder 5.

[0037] As from Figures 1 to 5 As can be seen from the comparison with 6 to 15, the water outlet devices 1 and 6 shown there have annular shoulders or annular flanges 10 of quick connectors 4 on the outer periphery of one of their outlet components, preferably the first outlet component 2, while at least one spring tab, and preferably two spring tabs 11 and 12, are provided on the other outlet component, particularly the second outlet component 3, on opposite sides of the outlet component 3. The spring tabs 11 and 12 can... Figure 3 Or the disengagement positions shown in 11 and 12 and their relative spring-in positions. Figure 1The movement can be between the holding positions visible in positions 6 and 7, in which the spring tabs 11 and 12 engage from behind the annular shoulder or annular flange 10 of the quick connector 4 with locking protrusions 13 formed on their free ends. The annular shoulder or annular flange of the quick connector 4, provided on the first outlet component 2, of the quick connector 4 provided on the outlet components 1 and 6 has a push slope 14 that is preferably tapered and widened in the insertion direction Pf1. This push slope first causes the spring tabs 11 and 12 to pop out when the second outlet component 3 is inserted into the first outlet component 2. Then, these spring tabs 11 and 12 can engage the annular shoulder or annular flange 10 from behind with their locking protrusions 13 and pop back into the holding position.

[0038] As from Figures 1 to 5 As can be seen, the spring contacts 11 and 12 of the water dispensing device 1 shown here are formed into the second outlet component 3 in contact sections 15 spaced apart from the two free contact ends, thereby dividing the contact sections 15 of the spring contacts 11 and 12 into two contact arms 17 and 18, wherein the first contact arm 17 carries a locking protrusion 13 at its free contact end and the second contact arm 18 is configured as a pressure button. The spring contacts 11 and 12 of the water dispensing device 1 are here elastically pivotable about a pivot axis arranged in the region between the contact section 15 and the outlet component 3 formed thereon, such that the spring contacts 11 and 12 are respectively moved from a holding position to a disengaged position by preferably simultaneously applying pressure to the contact arm 18 serving as a pressure button. Here, the simultaneous operation of the spring contacts 11 and 12 is simplified by such that these spring contacts 11 and 12 are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the outlet component 3 and therefore can also be operated simultaneously in a simple manner with one hand of the user.

[0039] In order for the spring tabs 11, 12 to engage the annular shoulder or annular flange 10 well and under load from the rear with their locking protrusions 13 on the water outlet device 1, the free tab ends on the tab arms 17 are constructed in a generally T-shape, such that the locking protrusions 13 provided on at least one large portion of the longitudinal extension of the T-shaped transverse tab can engage the annular shoulder or annular flange 10 from the rear in the corresponding large portion.

[0040] As from Figures 6 to 15As can be seen, the spring contacts 11 and 12 of the water outlet device 6, also arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the outlet component 3 on the outflow side, are connected to each other via elastically deformable connecting rings 19 acting on the spring contacts 11 and 12 on both sides. The connecting rings 19 connecting the spring contacts 11 and 12 have an elliptical shape in their relaxed position, wherein the connecting rings 19 can be elastically deformed into a generally circular shape by pressure applied to the portion of the connecting ring 19 spaced apart from the spring contacts 11 and 12. Here, the spring contacts 11 and 12 are formed on the closest opposing portions of the elliptical ring of the connecting ring 19. If the connecting ring 19 is now changed from its relaxed elliptical ring to a relatively circular ring by pressure loading, the spring contacts 11, 12 formed with their free contact ends spring out elastically, such that these spring contacts 11, 12 are respectively in a disengaged position with their locking protrusions 13, in which the outlet component 3 on the outflow side can be pulled out from the outlet component 2 on the inflow side of the water outlet device 6 and separated in a simple manner.

[0041] exist Figures 16 to 19 Figures 20 to 23 show water outlet devices 16 and 20, wherein the quick-connector 4 connecting outlet components 2 and 3 to each other in the use position is configured as a plug-in / rotary connection and is specifically configured as a bayonet or snap-fit ​​connection. Here, one of the outlet components 2 and 3, which is sealed outward by an axially acting annular seal 30, and the corresponding outflow side of the second outlet component 3, can be pushed onto the other, i.e., the inflow side of the first outlet component 2, until the connector pin 21 protruding on the outer peripheral side of one of the outlet components 3 engages from behind the edge region 22 provided on the other outlet component 2 and oriented transversely to the plugging or pushing direction Pf2 of the outlet components 2 and 3. This edge region 22 is located in Figures 20 to 23 The water outlet device 20 shown is formed by the edge of the first outlet component 2 on the inflow side of the locking tongue 23. The locking tongue is oriented transversely to the longitudinal extension of the outlet components 2 and 3 and is formed by the peripheral wall of the second outlet component 3 on the outflow side. Here, the second outlet component 3 on the outflow side can be pushed onto the first outlet component 2 on the inflow side until a push stop 25 provided between the outlet components restricts the insertion or pushing movement of the outlet components 2 and 3. The push stop 25 is composed of an annular shoulder provided on the first outlet component and serving as a stop, which works together with an annular shoulder provided on the inner periphery of the second outlet component on the discharge side and serving as a mating stop.

[0042] exist Figures 16 to 19In the water outlet device 16 shown, the first outlet component 2 on the inflow side has a groove 26 oriented transversely to the insertion or push-in direction Pf2 and rising in the push-in direction Pf2. A connector pin 21 protruding from the outer periphery of the second outlet component 3 on the outflow side can be inserted into this groove. The groove edge of the second outlet component 3 facing the outflow side serves as an insertion stop, while the opposite groove edge 22 is engaged from behind by the connector pin 21. The quick connector 4 provided on the water outlet devices 16, 20 can be moved to its use position or its disengaged position by simple insertion and rotation.

[0043] exist Figures 20 to 23 As can be seen, at least one actuating element is provided on the outlet part 3 of the water outlet device 20 shown here, which is movable to another outlet part 2. The radially protruding at least one actuating element is configured here as actuating wing 29, wherein at least two actuating wings 29 protrude from the outlet part 3 of the water outlet device 20 shown here, preferably spaced apart from each other at equal intervals.

[0044] exist Figure 24 and 25 The diagram shows a water outlet device 24, wherein a first outlet component 2 on the inlet side has a push-in groove 27. At least one push-in wing is provided on the circumferential side of a second outlet component 3 on the outlet side, the push-in wing being configured as an annular flange 28 surrounding the second outlet component 3. The second outlet component 3 on the outflow side can be pushed laterally into the push-in groove 27 provided on the first outlet component 2 until a usage position is reached, in which outlet components 2 and 3 are aligned with each other in the flow direction. The annular flange 28 serving as the push-in wing is arranged on the circumferential side of the inlet-side end edge of the second outlet component 3 and is preferably one-piece molded onto the second outlet component 3.
