Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a component for sanitary installations comprising valves, wherein each valve has a connection for fastening a hand-actuated element.

[0002] The invention further relates to a sanitary installation, for example a switching device and / or a shut-off device or a sanitary installation, having at least two valves. Background Art

[0003] The structural assembly for sanitary installations enables, for example, the adaptation of sanitary fittings according to requirements and at the installation location, for example in furniture, without requiring special components for this purpose. Thus, a simple and cost-effective possibility is created to meet many different applications with a small number of different components. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is now to expand the range of applications of such a component and such a sanitary installation.

[0005] This object is achieved by a subassembly having the features of claim 1 and a sanitary device according to claim 16 .

[0006] The assembly according to the invention is therefore characterized in that a copying device is provided, which is designed to be coupled to the interfaces of at least two valves in order to transmit a common manual actuation to the at least two valves. As a result, a plurality of valves can be switched with only one manual actuation. In one embodiment, the copying device has mechanical guide means for guiding the actuation movement. In this way, the actuation movement is predetermined or at least stable.

[0007] In one embodiment, the replication device has at least two mating interfaces, each of which can be coupled to a port of a valve. As a result, the valves can be used variably and in a variety of ways.

[0008] It is particularly advantageous if the at least two mating interfaces are designed to be identical to one another and / or allow for interchangeability of coupled valves and / or if the interface can be reversibly detachably and / or non-detachably connected to the mating interface. In this way, the assembly has maximum flexibility in application, since only a small number of components can be used for many applications.

[0009] In one embodiment, the replication device has a mechanical branch. In this way, mechanical actuation of multiple valves can be achieved. For example, the mechanical branch can be configured for push or pull actuation.

[0010] In one embodiment, the replication device has a fluidic branching section. In this way, hydraulic or pneumatic actuation of multiple valves is possible.

[0011] In one embodiment, the replication device has an electrical branch. In this way, electrical actuation of multiple valves is possible.

[0012] In one embodiment, the replication device is configured to transmit the hand manipulation simultaneously, in particular to all valves. In this way, all valves are switched simultaneously and synchronously.

[0013] Alternatively, in one embodiment, the replicating device is designed to transmit the manual actuation to at least one valve with a time delay, which is relative to the actuation of the other valves by the replicating device. In this way, for example, the fluid flow can be increased or stopped more gradually. During the closing process, this can in particular prevent pressure surges that occur when a large flow of water is quickly braked.

[0014] Independently of the time at which the individual valves are actuated, a time delay can also be achieved compared to manual actuation.

[0015] In one embodiment, each of the valves has a push mechanism. It is particularly advantageous here to configure a mechanical branch for push actuation.

[0016] In one embodiment, the duplication device converts a co-acting actuation movement into two separate actuation movements, in particular synchronously or with a time delay and / or of the same type, which each act only on one of the at least two valves. In this way, the valve can be used universally, since actuation of the valve always takes place in the same way, regardless of whether the valve is actuated individually or together with other valves via the duplication device.

[0017] In one embodiment, the cooperating actuation movement and the individual actuation movements are movements of the same type, in particular actuation movements that proceed linearly. In this way, a simple and cost-effective realization and reproduction of the movement can be achieved.

[0018] In one embodiment, the valve has a main valve and a pilot valve, the pilot valve actuating the main valve. Advantageously, the pilot valve only requires a small force to actuate, so that the duplication device can be constructed simply.

[0019] In one embodiment, the duplication device can be coupled to the pilot valve. It can be advantageous here that the duplication device has a fluid branching portion, which is actuated mechanically. This means that the duplication device directs the fluid flow to the two pilot valves and thus switches the two main valves.

[0020] In one embodiment, the valves are of a uniform valve type. Thus, in particular the type of the branching parts is uniform, so that the replication device can be designed to be simpler.

[0021] In one embodiment, the duplication device is configured to be coupled to at least one valve of a first valve type and to at least one valve of a second valve type. Different valve types can thus be switched with one duplication device, so that the number of components required in the assembly can be reduced. The first valve type can be, for example, a switching valve, and the second valve type can be, for example, a diaphragm valve or a piston valve with a pilot valve.

[0022] In one embodiment, a valve of a first valve type coincides with a valve of a second valve type in an interface.

[0023] Alternatively, the valves of the first valve type can differ from the valves of the second valve type at least in their connections.

[0024] In one embodiment, the valve has a thermostatic element. This can be advantageous, in particular, when, for example, the hot and cold water supply is switched by the valve in an on / off circuit. Thus, the temperature can be adjusted in this way.

[0025] In one embodiment, the operational sanitary installation that can be formed from the structural component has fewer, preferably identical, valves and / or fewer valve types than the structural component.

[0026] The invention also relates to a fitting body with at least two valve seats, the fluid connections of which meet in pairs. Advantageously, at least two valves can be switched in a fluid switching function.

[0027] This can be achieved, for example, by means of a correspondingly designed channel.

[0028] For example, the fitting body can be part of an already described structural assembly.

[0029] The invention also includes a sanitary device, in particular a sanitary fitting, a sanitary switching and / or closing device or a sanitary installation with at least two valves, characterized in that a duplication device is provided, which is coupled to the at least two valves, in particular to an interface for attaching a respective hand-operated element, in order to transmit a common hand-operated operation to the at least two valves simultaneously. In this way, the at least two valves can be triggered by one actuation process.

[0030] The valve may be limited in terms of its flow rate, for example, by its geometry, by the internal line cross-section and / or by its operating principle.

[0031] Therefore, in one embodiment of the sanitary device, it is advantageous if the at least two valves act in parallel, in particular the fluid flow separates upstream of the at least two valves and / or merges downstream of the at least two valves. Thus, by connecting two or more valves in parallel, the flow rate can be doubled or increased. However, by duplicating the device, only one hand operation is required. Therefore, the user is not aware of the presence of multiple valves.

[0032] It may be advantageous here for the replication device to actuate the valve with a time delay, so that the fluid flow is increased stepwise instead of starting immediately at maximum intensity.

[0033] Alternatively or additionally, provision can be made for the replication device to actuate the valve with a time delay, so that the fluid flow is reduced stepwise and, for example, not immediately reduced to maximum intensity or completely stopped.

[0034] In one embodiment of the sanitary device, the replication device has mechanical guide means for guiding the actuation movement.

[0035] In one embodiment of the sanitary equipment, the replication device has at least two mating interfaces, which can be coupled to an interface of a valve respectively, in particular, the at least two mating interfaces are configured to be identical to each other and / or allow the coupled valves to be interchangeable, and / or the interfaces can be reversibly, detachably and / or non-detachably connected to the mating interfaces.

[0036] In one embodiment of the sanitary installation, the replication device has a mechanical, fluidic or electrical branch.

[0037] In one embodiment of the sanitary installation, the replication device is designed to transmit the manual actuation simultaneously, in particular to all valves, or with a time delay to at least one valve.

[0038] In one embodiment of the sanitary fitting, the valve has a push-push mechanism.

[0039] In one embodiment of the sanitary device, the replication device converts a co-acting actuation movement into two, in particular synchronous and / or similar, individual actuation movements which each act only on one of the at least two valves (3).

[0040] In one embodiment of the sanitary device, the cooperating actuation movement and the individual actuation movements are movements of the same type, in particular actuation movements which proceed linearly.

[0041] In one embodiment of the sanitary installation, the valve has a main valve and a pilot valve.

[0042] In one embodiment of the sanitary installation, the replication device can be coupled to a pilot valve.

[0043] In one embodiment of the sanitary installation, the valve is a uniform valve type.

[0044] In one embodiment, the sanitary device has valves of a first valve type and a second valve type, and the replication device is configured to be coupled to at least one valve of the first valve type and at least one valve of the second valve type, in particular, the valve of the first valve type is consistent with the valve of the second valve type in the interface, or the valve of the first valve type is different from the valve of the second valve type at least in its interface.

[0045] In one embodiment of the sanitary installation, at least one valve has a thermostatic element.

[0046] In another embodiment, the valve has a mixing device for mixing cold water and hot water.Thus, the functional range of sanitary fittings that can be formed with the structural component can be expandable.

[0047] In one embodiment, the sanitary fitting is formed by the assembly according to the invention, in particular the sanitary fitting has fewer, preferably identical, valves and / or fewer valve types than the assembly.

[0048] Finally, the invention also includes the use of two valves connected in parallel for switching the water flow in a sanitary installation. Thus, an increased flow rate can be achieved without the need for special valves.

[0049] In particular, a common hand actuation can be transmitted to the at least two valves at the same time. This simplifies the operation. Thus, the use of two or more valves to switch the (increased) flow rate can be achieved without the user noticing.

[0050] In particular, a component according to the invention, for example a component as described above and / or according to one of the claims relating to the component, can be used for this purpose.

[0051] Alternatively or additionally, the use may be provided in a sanitary installation according to the invention, for example a sanitary installation as described above and / or in accordance with one of the claims for the assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0060] Figure 1 A sanitary component 1 is shown which is provided for forming a sanitary functional device 15 by connecting the desired components of the sanitary component 1 to one another according to assembly instructions.

[0061] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 1 shows a plurality of exemplary embodiments of sanitary functional devices of a sanitary component 1 according to the invention, which are each referenced 15 .

[0062] The sanitary component 1 comprises at least one outlet element 2 , from which a fluid, in particular a water jet, emerges during use of the sanitary functional device 15 .

[0063] In order to be able to control the outflow from the outlet element 2 , the sanitary arrangement 1 has at least one valve 3 and at least one connecting element 4 , with which the outlet element 2 can be fluidically connected to the valve 3 or is connected in the assembled state.

[0064] The sanitary arrangement 1 comprises at least two, preferably functionally different, valves 3 which can be selectively fluidically connected to the outlet element 2 via the at least one connecting element 4. In addition to the valves 3, further control elements, for example switches 23, can also be provided.

[0065] The sanitary assembly 1 has a distributor 5 to which two or more, preferably functionally different, valves 3 and / or connecting elements 4 and / or outlet elements 2 can be connected simultaneously or are connected in the assembled state.

[0066] In order to realize the simplest possible assembly, the at least one connecting element 4 is configured to be plug-connectable. In order to prevent the plug-in connection from coming loose, the at least one connecting element 4 and / or the component connected thereto can have a latch and / or locking mechanism to securely connect the components to each other.

[0067] In order to be able to form a large number of differently designed sanitary functional devices 15, the at least one connecting element 4 is designed to be variable in shape. Prefabricated connecting elements 4 and / or connecting elements 4 with different lengths can also be provided.

[0068] The sanitary component 1 has at least one connection element for connecting to a supply connection 16, in particular a supply network. For a functional device 15 which is provided for connecting to a plurality of supply connections 16, in particular hot and cold water connections, of a supply network or a plurality of supply networks, a connection element can be provided for each supply network, in particular for each connection.

[0069] The sanitary component 1 comprises at least one functional unit. The at least one functional unit may have one or more functions. Examples of this may be: at least one further valve 3, a sensor 6 and / or an actuator 7, for example a through-type heater 8 and / or a generator 9. The functional unit can be connected directly and / or indirectly via a connecting element 4 to the valve 3 and / or to the outlet element 2.

[0070] Furthermore, the sanitary structure assembly 1 comprises at least two different, in particular differently shaped and / or differently lengthed connection elements 4, which have identical joints, so that the user can select the connection element 4 that matches the installation situation as required.

[0071] The sanitary assembly 1 comprises a plurality of fixing means 10 for fixing the at least one outlet element 2 and / or the at least one valve 3 and / or the at least one connecting element 4 on a functional carrier 11 .

[0072] The sanitary structure assembly 1 comprises at least one branching element 12 , in particular a branching element 12 branching more than twice, which can be selectively connected to the at least one connecting element 4 to form a distributor 5 .

[0073] For manual control, the at least one valve 3 has a hand-operated element 13. The hand-operated elements 13 of two different valves 3 have identical outer contours and / or outer dimensions in order to be selectively usable by the user with the same space requirements.

[0074] In this example, some of the hand-operated elements 13 have a mating interface 22, by which the hand-operated element 13 is connected to an interface of the valve 3. The mating interface 22 may include a detachable connection, so that the hand-operated element 13 can be connected to different valves 3 at one time.

[0075] In one example, at least two valves 3 can be formed as valves. These valves can have a stepless control, a multi-stage control or an on / off control of the flow rate. The valve can be actuated mechanically, fluidically or electrically.

[0076] The valves may be of a uniform valve type. Uniform here may refer to the type and / or operation of the flow control.

[0077] The assembly 1 also has at least one duplication device 17. For example, the duplication device 17 can have an interface 14 for connection to the hand-operated element 13 or its mating interface 22, or the hand-operated element 13 can be designed fixedly, in particular integrally, with the duplication device 17.

[0078] Furthermore, the duplication device 17 has a branch 18 to two or more branches 19, at the ends of which a mating interface 22 is formed in each case. Each branch 19 of the duplication device 17 can be connected to a connection 14 of a valve 3 via this mating interface 22. In this way, two or more valves 3 can be actuated via the duplication device 17 by a single hand-operated element 13.

[0079] In one embodiment, the duplication device is configured to be coupled simultaneously to at least one valve of a first valve type and at least one valve of a second valve type. Thus, different valve types can be switched using one duplication device, thereby reducing the number of components required in the assembly.

[0080] In one embodiment, the valve of the first valve type is identical in the interface to the valve of the second valve type.

[0081] Alternatively, the valve of the first valve type can differ from the valve of the second valve type at least in its connection.

[0082] It is also possible that different valve types with the same interface and other valve types with different interfaces are present in one assembly. The interface can here signal possible combinations between valve types and hand-operated elements, thereby eliminating incorrect use.

[0083] Figure 2 A first sanitary installation 15 is shown which is formed by the assembly 1. The sanitary installation 15 has two supply connections 16, for example hot water and cold water.

[0084] Each supply connection 16 is connected to a valve 3 via a connecting element 4. The valve 3 is in turn connected via a connecting element 4 to a mixer 20, which in turn is connected to the outlet element 2.

[0085] The two valves 3 have ports 14 for connection to the hand-operated element 13. In the present example, however, a branch 19 of a duplication device 17, which has the hand-operated element 13, is connected to each of these ports 14 with a matching port 22.

[0086] In this way, both valves 3 can be actuated simultaneously and synchronously using only one hand-operated element 13 .

[0087] The actuation can be performed mechanically, for example. For example, the valve 3 can have a diaphragm valve, which can be switched via a pilot valve. Here, the replica device 17 can, for example, mechanically actuate a push-push mechanism. However, the replica device 17 can also be connected downstream of the push-push mechanism and contain a branch of the fluid control line that controls the pilot valve, so that although the actuation is performed mechanically, the branch is performed fluidically.

[0088] Furthermore, a wide variety of other combinations of steering and branching effects are conceivable and achievable, which cannot be fully listed here. Therefore, the present application is in no way limited to the embodiments shown.

[0089] exist Figure 3 A supply connection 16 is provided in the sanitary device 15. A distributor 5 is connected upstream of the two valves 3, which distributes the water to the two valves 3. Figure 2 In the embodiment, each valve 3 is connected to the hand-operated element 13 via a duplication device 17. In terms of fluid, each valve 3 is connected to a single outlet element 2.

[0090] Figure 4 Shows a Figure 2 Similar sanitary equipment 15.

[0091] The two supply connections 16 are connected to a mixer 20. The mixer 20 can additionally have a thermostatic element. The sanitary installation has a connecting element 4 with a large pipe cross section or a large flow rate. A plurality of distributors 5 are arranged on the connecting element 4, which are shown here only as points on the connecting element 4 for the sake of clarity.

[0092] The distributor 5 leads in each case to at least two (upper) valves 3 , which can be actuated via (respective) hand-operated elements 13 .

[0093] The two valves 3 are each connected to a dedicated outlet element 2 .

[0094] A further distributor 5 is also connected to the two (lower) valves 3 , which act in parallel in the fluid path.

[0095] On the outflow side, the two valves 3 are connected together to an outlet element 2 via a distributor 5 which is connected in reverse and thus acts as a mixer 20 or merger.

[0096] Therefore, the fluid connections 21 of the lower valve seat 26 merge in pairs.

[0097] The two lower valves 3 are connected to a common hand-operated element 13 via a duplication device 17. Thus, both valves 3 can be actuated with only one hand actuation.

[0098] Here, the lower valves can be switched on and / or off simultaneously or one after the other.

[0099] For example, the outlet element 2 for the lower valve 3 may be a bathtub filling fitting or a rain shower head or may be connectable to such a component. By the two (lower) valves 3 acting in parallel in the fluid path, the total flow through the valves 3 is doubled, thereby enabling a faster bathtub filling or a more complete shower experience. By means of the replicating device 17, both valves 3 can be operated with only one hand operation, so that the user cannot perceive or notice the presence of two or more valves.

[0100] For example, the two first valves 3 can control different outlet elements 2 with a smaller flow rate, such as a shower head and / or a hand shower. In addition to the embodiments shown here, many other sanitary devices can also be formed by the structural assembly. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the two embodiments shown.

[0101] Figure 5 Schematically showing the Figure 4 A front view of an exemplary embodiment of a sanitary fixture 15 is shown. Figure 6 Schematically shown in side view Figure 5 The lower valve 3 of the sanitary equipment 15.

[0102] The sanitary fixture 15 has a fitting body 24 with two (upper) valve seats 25 and two (lower) valve seats 26. For example, the fitting body 24 can be made of a casting material, in particular metal, and preferably made in a casting process. For example, the fitting body 24 can be designed for embedded installation.

[0103] The fitting body 24 can also be an element of a subassembly and serve, for example, as a basis or functional carrier 11 for elements of the subassembly, in particular a valve.

[0104] Each valve seat 25, 26 has at least two fluid connections 21. In this case, the valve seats 25 and 26 have fluid connections for connecting the valve 3. Within the fitting body, the valve seats 25 and 26 can be fluidically connected via fixed channels, so that no additional hose connections are required within the fitting body 24.

[0105] The two upper valves 3 are respectively arranged in one of the upper valve seats 25. The two upper valves 3 are respectively matched with an outlet element 2, such as a shower head or a hand shower.

[0106] The two lower valves 3 are arranged in each of the lower valve seats 26. The two lower valves 3 are connected in parallel. The valve seats 26 are connected in fluidic fashion to one another within the fitting body 24 via a channel 4. In this case, a branch 5 is included in the channel in front of and behind the valve seats 26, which divide the fluid flow and reunite it. In this way, the flow rate can be doubled compared to a single valve. The combined channel 4 leads to a common outlet element 2.

[0107] The two lower valves 3 are connected via a duplication device 17 and can be actuated together. In this case, the manual actuation device 13 is connected via a branching portion 18 to two branches 19 , which are each coupled to the connection 14 of the two valves 3 .

[0108] Preferably, the actuation of one of the two valves takes place with a time delay, so that the fluid flow does not start and end immediately with full intensity.
