Description

[0001] The invention relates to a fluidic arrangement with a valve, an outlet piece that can be connected to an outlet pipe of a fitting, and a hose that fluidically connects the outlet piece to the valve.

[0002] The invention further relates to a fitting comprising a fitting housing in which a valve is arranged, an outlet pipe in which an outlet piece is arranged and which is connected to the fitting housing, and a hose which fluidically connects the outlet piece to the valve.

[0003] In general, a valve can be characterized, for example, as an enclosure for a fluidic path for the purpose of discharging the fluid, typically with a valve for controlling the fluid flow. Basically, two different types are known: those in which the valve body comes into contact with the fluid, and those in which the valve body accommodates a fluidic assembly that is itself in contact with the fluid, thus preventing contact between the fluid and the valve body.

[0004] Such fittings are well known, for example in the form of kitchen faucets that feature a pivoting spout. Such fittings currently have the disadvantage that fluid sealing at the pivot point is very complex. Furthermore, the arrangement of the valve within the faucet body severely limits the design. Furthermore, the outlet element that directs the jet must be sealed to the fitting, which is only technically easy to achieve with circular jet shapes. This also severely limits the design of such fittings. There are also fittings in which the housing is designed as part of a piece of furniture, for example, as a shelf or wall paneling.

[0005] A sanitary fitting as an example of a fitting can be characterized, for example, in that it forms at least one outlet pipe, the orientation of which can be predetermined by mounting the sanitary fitting on or on a base.

[0006] This invention aims to improve such fittings.

[0007] This object is achieved by a fluidic arrangement, a use and a fitting according to the independent claims.

[0008] In one embodiment of a fluidic arrangement of the aforementioned type, the outlet piece has a non-circular circumferential contour. Since the outlet piece is inserted into a preferably plastic outlet piece connection, in particular a spout receptacle, and is fluidically sealed to it, this embodiment eliminates the need to seal the outlet piece directly to the fitting outlet. This simplifies sealing due to the largely free shape of the preferably plastic outlet piece connection, which is optionally detachably connected to the fitting outlet. This largely decouples the shape of the outlet piece and the fitting.

[0009] The outlet piece can, for example, be detachably connected to the outlet piece connection formed on the outlet hose. This allows for easy replacement of the outlet piece, for example as a jet regulator. The outlet piece connection can be formed captively on the outlet hose, for example, by a material bond or attached in a pull-proof manner. For pull-proof attachment, claws have been proposed, for example, which engage with the outlet hose and are held in place by a retainer on the outlet piece connection. Designs are also known and usable in which the retainer can be moved into a release position to release the claw and release the outlet hose.

[0010] In general, the outlet piece can be configured to achieve a desired jet quality of an outgoing water jet. For example, the outlet piece can have a splitter stage, which can, for example, divide an incoming water stream into many individual jets, and / or a mixer stage, which can, for example, allow air to be mixed into the water jet. A typical example of an outlet piece is a (preferably aerated or non-aerated) jet regulator, another example is a jet former. The outlet piece can also have at least one valve function, for example, as a diverter or a shut-off valve.

[0011] In this way, it is possible to create fittings with unusual shapes or to integrate a spout into a piece of furniture without any fitting at all, whereby the non-circular shape allows for alternative designs.

[0012] Sealing the outlet piece from the outlet pipe is therefore not necessary with the invention, so the outlet piece can take on any shape. In particular, the outlet piece can be oval or essentially square, even with rounded corners.

[0013] The outlet connector can be used to provide a fluid-tight connection between the outlet and a drain hose. This prevents wetting of the plumbing fixture; even a plumbing fixture can be dispensed with entirely, for example, by locating the fluid assembly on a piece of furniture.

[0014] For example, the outlet piece connection can be designed as an outlet piece receptacle into which the outlet piece can be inserted in a fluid-tight manner, in particular screwed and / or clipped in.

[0015] In general, the outlet piece can be securely attached to the outlet piece connection, for example, in the aforementioned outlet piece receptacle. This can be achieved, for example, by means of connecting elements that prevent or impede spontaneous detachment.

[0016] In a further design, alternatively or additionally, the outlet pipe is designed to be pivotable relative to the fitting housing.

[0017] This is made possible by the inventive use of the described fluidic arrangement. The advantage here is that the valve housing does not need to be sealed at the pivoting outlet pipe, because fluid contact with the valve housing can be avoided. This type of sealing often poses problems with regard to fatigue strength.

[0018] The outlet hose is preferably unreinforced because it is not subjected to tensile stress during use and because the outlet hose is not subjected to longitudinal displacement during use, thus preventing abrasion. Alternatively or additionally, the outlet hose can be extruded and / or single-layer.

[0019] It is particularly advantageous if a fitting, in particular a sanitary fitting, of the type described above is designed in which the fluidic arrangement is installed so that the outlet hose is guided in an outlet pipe. If the outlet pipe is pivotable, the outlet hose can provide the necessary flexibility to avoid impeding this pivoting movement.

[0020] The outlet hose can have a fixed deflection at a point spaced from both of its ends, which is optionally detachable and is designed as a U-shape or a V-shape. Furthermore, the fitting housing can have a channel in which a section of the outlet hose is guided and in which the section of the outlet hose can be rotated about an axis running longitudinally to a pivot axis of the outlet pipe, in particular parallel to the pivot axis. In this way, pivoting of the outlet pipe is possible, whereby the hose is rotated within the channel. This rotatability is ensured by the channel because the hose does not have to be constricted or clamped within the channel by other structural elements.

[0021] Alternatively or additionally, the outlet hose can be mounted in the diverter and / or in the outlet connector so that it can rotate around its longitudinal axis. This makes it easy to compensate for torsional stresses. Alternatively or additionally, a mixed water hose connected to the diverter, described in more detail below, can also be rotatably connected to the diverter and / or the valve. This also allows for compensation for torsional stresses in the outlet hose.

[0022] The rotatability can be achieved, for example, by a hold-down device that can be rotated relative to a claw carrier and / or by a claw carrier that can be rotated on the hose that is being held (for example a drain or mixed water hose).

[0023] Especially in combination with the above-mentioned design, it is not necessary to seal the outlet pipe against the valve body of the fitting, so that a fitting can be manufactured more easily and cost-effectively and fewer components are required than in the state of the art.

[0024] In a further embodiment, alternatively or additionally, the outlet piece is fluidically connected to the valve. The valve is arranged below a base point of the sanitary fitting, in particular outside the fitting housing, and there is a control connection to the valve. Furthermore, the fitting housing has a channel in which the hose between the valve and the outlet element and / or the control connection is guided. In this way, a valve can be arranged away from its actuation. The fitting can therefore be very compact and also has greater freedom in terms of design, since no space is required for the valve or a valve cartridge. The valve is triggered via the control connection.

[0025] The control connection can be mechanical and / or fluidic (hydraulic, pneumatic), for example. The valve can be a conventional valve or, for example, a diaphragm valve that can be triggered via a pilot valve. In this case, the control connection can expediently be connected to the pilot valve or establish an operative connection between the pilot valve and the valve.

[0026] In contrast to the aforementioned kitchen faucet, the invention provides that the hose is connected directly to the spout, connecting it directly to the valve. In conventional kitchen faucets, the pull-out shower head is connected to the hose, thus providing water flow throughout the entire shower head. This is possible because the water is routed from the valve to the spout through the hose, meaning the spout itself does not require a water supply.

[0027] The control connection is preferably designed as a rod, flexible tube, Bowden cable, or articulated rod. Other designs may also include an electrically operated pilot valve, so that the control connection can also be made via electrical lines. Furthermore, the control connection could also include a hydraulic or pneumatic connection between the pilot and main valve.

[0028] In one version, the sanitary fitting includes a fastening element that secures the valve to the fitting body and / or a fitting support. This allows for easy installation of the valve.

[0029] A fixture support can be characterized, for example, as a base to which a sanitary fixture is permanently mounted for use. For example, a fixture support can be designed as a washbasin or a shelf.

[0030] In one embodiment, the outlet piece has a polygonal and / or concave circumferential contour.

[0031] The circumferential contour can also be composed of straight and curved lines. For example, a rectangle contour can be formed by two semicircular discs attached to opposite sides, whose diameters are equal to one of the side lengths.

[0032] In one design, the outlet piece is inserted into a spout holder attached to the valve body. The advantage of this is that the spout holder does not need to be sealed against the valve body.

[0033] In one version, the outlet piece holder has an outer contour that matches its inner contour. This means that the outer contour is essentially the same shape as the inner contour.

[0034] In one version, the spout is attached using a snap-lock connection. This allows the spout to be locked without screwing in. In particular, the spout can be attached or installed without tools.

[0035] In one embodiment, a seal is arranged between the outlet piece and the outlet piece holder.

[0036] In one embodiment, the channel extends at least between the fixed deflector and the water outlet and / or between the fixed deflector and the valve. In this way, the hose can be configured with at least one change of direction along a fluid path from the valve to the outlet piece.

[0037] A fixed deflection can be characterized, for example, as a deflection at a fixed position within the hose. A fixed deflection in this sense does not move when a bend or shape of the hose changes.

[0038] In one design, the channel runs separately from the valve's inlet and outlet hoses. This prevents friction between the hoses. This friction can either damage the hoses or impede the swivel movement.

[0039] In one design, the hose is mounted in the deflector and / or the valve so that it can rotate. This allows for torsion compensation in a twisted hose, thus increasing the stability of the fluidic arrangement.

[0040] In one design, the lateral inner dimension of the channel is at least twice the diameter of the hose. This allows both the upstream and downstream sections of the hose, i.e., to and from the deflection, to be flexibly accommodated within the channel. The hose can deflect sideways.

[0041] In one version, the valve body is designed without a seal at at least one pivot point of the outlet pipe. This increases operational reliability and stability. A seal is always subject to wear, so that a valve will inevitably leak at this sealing point over time. This advantageous design avoids this problem, as no seal is required or provided. This also allows for greater freedom in the choice of shape and material.

[0042] In one design, the mixed water hose is fluidically connected to a point on the valve facing away from the outlet piece when the valve is in use. This eliminates lateral leaks from the valve. This can be advantageous for valve design because less lateral installation space is required.

[0043] In one embodiment, the outlet hose extends between the outlet piece and its valve-side end in a section outside the valve housing, in particular with the deflector located outside the valve housing. This allows for easy installation of the hoses and the deflector.

[0044] In one design, the outlet hose is fluidically connected to the mixed water hose via a connecting element that forms the deflection.

[0045] In one embodiment, the deflection creates a fluidic change of direction, in particular a reversal of direction, between the mixed water hose and the outlet hose.

[0046] The invention further comprises a fluidic arrangement with a hose, an outlet piece, an outlet piece receptacle and a valve for forming a sanitary fitting according to one of the preceding claims.

[0047] The invention is explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] It shows: Fig. 1: a sanitary fitting with a pivoting outlet pipe arranged between a fixture and a valve on the fitting body, Fig. 2: a sanitary fitting with a pivoting outlet pipe arranged integrally on a fitting body with a valve, Fig. 3: a sanitary fitting with a valve located outside the fitting body, Fig. 4: a sanitary fitting according to the invention similar Fig. 3 with a fluidic control connection, Fig. 5: an exploded view of a valve of a sanitary fitting with a pressure housing and Fig. 6: a sectional view of a deflection of a fluidic arrangement.

[0049] The Fig. 1 shows a sanitary fitting 1, as an example of a fitting according to the invention, with a fitting housing 2. The fitting housing 2 in the example has a lower housing part 3, which is designed, for example, for attachment to a washbasin or a kitchen worktop, and an upper housing part 4. A valve 5, for example in the form of a closed valve cartridge, is arranged in the upper housing part.

[0050] The valve 5 has two inlet connections 6, into which, in the example, a cold water hose 7 and a hot water hose 8 are connected. The hoses 7, 8 can be connected to the valve 5, for example, via a plug-in connection, in which the hose is inserted directly into a plug-in connection receptacle. In particular, no hose nipple or similar connecting element is required.

[0051] The valve 5 also has an outlet connection 9, which, analogous to the inlet connections 6, is designed as a direct plug-in connection receptacle into which a mixed water hose 10 can be inserted.

[0052] Preferably, this plug connection on the outlet connection 9 is designed to be non-rotatable, so that the mixed water hose 10 cannot rotate about its axis within the plug connection receptacle.

[0053] Irrespective of this, the plug connections of the inlet connections 6 can also be designed to be non-rotatable.

[0054] The sanitary fitting 1 further comprises an outlet pipe 11, which in this embodiment is pivotally mounted on the fitting housing 2 between the lower housing part 3 and the upper housing part 4, with the pivot axis running approximately vertically through the center of the fitting housing 2. The outlet pipe 11 runs approximately radially to the fitting housing 2, with the outlet pipe being inclined upwards relative to a horizontal axis.

[0055] An outlet piece 13 is arranged at the free end 12 of the outlet pipe 11.

[0056] The outlet piece 13 can have a splitter stage and a mixer stage inside, in a conventional manner, and optionally a flow limiting and / or flow reducing stage. For example, the outlet piece 13 can be a jet regulator.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the invention, the outlet piece 13 has a non-circular circumferential contour. An outlet piece connection 23, here a outlet piece receptacle 14, is arranged in the outlet pipe 11, to which or into which the outlet piece 13 is connected or inserted.

[0058] The inner contour of the outlet piece receptacle 14 is preferably adapted to the outer contour of the outlet piece 13, i.e. designed such that the outlet piece 13 can be inserted seamlessly into the outlet piece receptacle 14.

[0059] Independently of this, the outer contour of the outlet piece holder 14 can be adapted to its inner contour.

[0060] An outlet hose 15 is arranged within the outlet pipe 11 and is fluidly connected to the outlet piece 13. Preferably, a non-rotatable plug-in connection is used here as well. The outlet hose 15 can be attached directly, i.e., immediately, to the outlet piece 13. Alternatively, the outlet hose can also be connected to the outlet piece receptacle 14, as shown in the example.

[0061] If the outlet piece 13 is fluidically connected via the outlet hose 15, sealing the outlet piece 13 with respect to the outlet piece receptacle 14 and / or the outlet pipe 11 is not necessary. If the outlet hose 15 is connected to the outlet piece connection 23, for example, the outlet piece receptacle 14, it is advantageous if a seal is arranged between the outlet piece 13 and the outlet piece connection 23, in particular the outlet piece receptacle 14.

[0062] The outlet piece 13 can preferably be removably fastened in the outlet piece receptacle 14 by means of a locking or snap connection without tools.

[0063] The outlet hose 15 and the mixed water hose 13 are fluidly connected to each other via a deflector 16. The deflector 16 is approximately U-shaped and has two plug-in connection receptacles into which the outlet hose 15 and the mixed water hose 13 can each be inserted. It is advantageous if the plug-in connections are also designed to be non-rotatable.

[0064] It is particularly advantageous if the mixed water hose 13 is dimensioned so long that the diverter 16 is located outside the fitting housing 2. In this way, the diverter 16 can be easily installed at a designated location after the sanitary fitting 1 has been installed. For this purpose, the valve-side end 35 of the outlet hose 15 extends into an area outside the fitting housing 2.

[0065] Valve 5, outlet hose 15, mixed water hose 13, diverter 16, outlet piece 13 and outlet piece connection 23 form a fluidic arrangement 32. The fluidic arrangement 32 can be operated without valve housing 2 and without outlet pipe 11.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the invention, the fitting housing 2 has a channel 17 in which at least the mixed water hose 13, and preferably also the outlet hose 15, is guided. The cross-section of the channel 17 is preferably dimensioned such that it is larger than twice the cross-section of the hoses guided therein. The two hoses 13 and 15 are then guided freely within the channel and, in particular, have no kinks or contact, for example, with the cold water hose 7 and / or the hot water hose 8. This allows the outlet pipe 11 to pivot freely. When the outlet pipe 11 is pivoted, the outlet hose 15 is inevitably also rotated within the channel. This rotation is transferred to the mixed water hose 13 via the deflection 16.

[0067] The most important factor here is a non-rotatable plug connection, or generally a non-rotatable connection between hoses 13 and 15, the diverter 16, and the valve 5. This is because a non-rotatable connection is easier to create a permanently tight seal than a rotatable connection. The torsional forces that occur in the hoses due to the pivoting of the outlet pipe 11 can be easily absorbed by the non-rotatable connection, so that only the mixed water hose 10 and / or the outlet hose 15 twist.

[0068] It may be advantageous if the mixed water hose 13 and / or the outlet hose 15 are accommodated within the channel 17 with some clearance. This can simplify assembly, for example.

[0069] Within the valve housing 2, the channel 17 can also be structurally separate.

[0070] A further advantage of this arrangement is that the outlet pipe 11 has no seal at its pivot points 18 relative to the fitting body 2. This is because the outlet pipe 2 is not water-conducting. This allows for a simpler and more durable design of the pivot point 18. Furthermore, there is no seal wear at these pivot points 18.

[0071] The Fig. 2 shows a further embodiment of a sanitary fitting 1 with a slightly different structure than the sanitary fitting 1 of Fig. 1. Nevertheless, identical or functionally equivalent features are provided with the same reference symbols. In the following, only the Fig. 1 different features are explained in more detail.

[0072] In this example, the valve body 2 has an outlet pipe 11 that is arranged vertically upward on the upper housing part 4, approximately in an extension of the center axis of the valve body 2. The outlet pipe 11 is approximately U-shaped here. Accordingly, in this design, there is only one pivot point 18 between the valve body 2 and the outlet pipe 11.

[0073] In this embodiment, the valve 5 is arranged laterally on the valve housing 2, whereby a valve cartridge is also used here.

[0074] The outlet hose 15 runs past the valve 5 within the channel 17. At this point in particular, the channel 17 is dimensioned such that the outlet hose 15 is neither clamped nor otherwise restricted in its movement. This prevents the outlet hose 15 or the sanitary fitting 1 as a whole from being damaged by the swiveling of the outlet pipe 11.

[0075] The Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of a sanitary fitting 1 with a slightly different structure than the sanitary fitting 1 of Fig. 1. Nevertheless, identical or functionally equivalent features are provided with the same reference symbols. In the following, only the Fig. 1 different features are explained in more detail.

[0076] The outlet pipe 11 of the sanitary fitting 1 is in this version as in the sanitary fitting 1 of the Fig. 1. Here, however, the valve 5 is not located in the upper housing part 4, but completely outside the fitting housing 2. For example, below a washbasin 19, or at least below a base point of the sanitary fitting 1.

[0077] An actuating element 20 for the valve 5 is arranged on the upper housing part 4 of the sanitary fitting 1 and is connected to the valve via a control connection 21. The control connection 21 can be designed, for example, as a rod, flexible pipe, Bowden cable, or articulated rod. In the embodiment shown, the control connection 21 is guided within the channel 17. The advantage of this embodiment is that the sanitary fitting 1 has virtually no restrictions in its shape, since all water-carrying elements are connected by hoses and are essentially located outside the sanitary fitting 1. This embodiment also simplifies the installation of the hoses, as they are freely accessible.

[0078] Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment. Components and functional units that are functionally and / or structurally similar or identical to the preceding embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals and are not described separately again. The statements regarding the preceding embodiments therefore apply to Fig. 4 accordingly.

[0079] The embodiment according to Fig. 4 differs from that according to Fig. 3 at least in that the control connection 21 is fluidic and establishes an operative connection between, for example, a mechanically actuated pilot valve 30 and the valve 5 (as main valve).

[0080] For this purpose, the control connection 21 has a forward line 33 to the pilot valve 30 and a return line 34 from the pilot valve to the valve 5.

[0081] Fig. Figure 5 shows a more detailed representation of the valve 5. Components and functional units that are functionally and / or structurally similar or identical to the preceding embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals and are not described separately again. The statements regarding the preceding embodiments therefore apply to Fig. 5 accordingly.

[0082] The inlet connections 6 and the outlet connection 9 are arranged in a two-part pressure housing 24, which is shown here as an example. The pressure housing 24 encloses the valve 5 and establishes a fluidic connection. The pressure housing 24 can, in particular, accommodate an operating pressure of the inlet connections 6, so that the valve 5 can be arranged outside of a sanitary fitting 1.

[0083] Fig. 6 shows a more detailed representation of the deflection 16. Components and functional units that are functionally and / or structurally similar or identical to the preceding embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals and are not described separately again. The statements regarding the preceding embodiments therefore apply to Fig. 6 accordingly.

[0084] The deflector 16 has two claw supports 26, each with claws 27, with which a hose—here, for example, the mixed water hose 10 and the drain hose 15—can be held in place with tensile strength. The claw supports 26 are rotatable but self-locking, arranged in retainers 28. Torsions in the hoses can be easily compensated for by rotating the claw supports 26 relative to the retainers 28.
