Description

The invention relates to a flexibly adjustable drain system for a shower room according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for producing such a shower room.In the sanitary industry, the demand for shower stations at the same floor is increasing. In addition to aesthetic aspects, it is important that such shower seats are accessible without barriers. Moreover, shower seats with the same floor are intended to offer as much floor space as possible within the shower seat, in which the shower drain does not have to be standing. Therefore, there is a tendency to place the drain members of the shower room, such as a gutter, as close as possible to a wall of the shower room.The document EP 2 808 458 B1 describes a water drain device for a shower and a shower base element. The publication addresses the problem of designing a novel water drain device for a particularly flat and wall-proximal structure and developing a floor-level and wall-proximal shower floor element for such a water drain device. In a recess of a base plate serving as an annular outlet region, a channel module is installed. The channel module can be connected to a drain module. The water drain device known from EP 2 808 458 B1 is first installed in a shower floor and fixed there in the screed. This requires exact positioning, since readjustment of the shower channel alignment is no longer possible in the installed state.It is the object of the present invention to propose a flexibly adjustable drain system for a shower room, which enables a design of a drain element on a shower wall as close as possible to the wall and a simple and exact alignment of this drain element. It is a further object of the invention to specify a method for producing such a shower room.This object is achieved by a drain system having the features of claim 1. Furthermore, this object is achieved by a method for installing such a sequence system having the features of claim 12.A drain system for a shower room has the following components:a base element having an outer edge and a drain recess having a first drain opening,a drain pot which can be installed or is installed in the drain opening and has a second drain opening and a first longitudinal axis, anda drain element which can be coupled to the drain pot and has a third drain opening.The outlet element can be, for example, an outlet channel. The outlet channel is visible in the assembled or completely removed state of the shower room. To this end, the floor element and the drain pot are arranged below a floor covering, for example below tiles.In the drain system according to the invention, an insert part is provided for coupling drain pot and drain element, which insert part has a drain opening corresponding to the drain openings already mentioned, which is referred to below as fourth drain opening.For coupling the drain pot and the drain element, an insert part is provided which has a fourth drain opening. According to the invention, the outflow system comprisesa first rotary guide track and a second rotary guide track for rotating the insert part or the drain pot in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axisand a first linear guide track and a second linear guide track for a radial displacement of the insert part in a linear direction with respect to the first longitudinal axis.The radial and the linear guide track make it possible to linearly displace the outlet element, i.e. for example an outlet channel provided as outlet element, relative to the shower location when the outlet system is installed in a shower space with a pre-mounted or fixed outlet pot and also to pivot it in a circumferential direction relative to the substantially perpendicular longitudinal axis into a desired angular position.Thus, after it has been inserted into the shower base element and before it is finally fixed, the outlet element can first be aligned exactly parallel to a shower wall by fine pivoting, and can secondly be adjusted to a desired extent with respect to its distance from the wall by linear displacement. The linear displacement can be effected either in the direction of the outer edge of the shower floor or shower wall or in the opposite direction thereto, as required. In the first case, the distance of the drain element to the outer edge or to the shower wall is reduced, and as a result the usable standing area of the shower room is enlarged and the shower drain does not have to be encountered.The rotational orientation of the drain member mounted in the insert member allows fine adjustment of an elongated drain gutter with respect to the parallel orientation to a shower wall. An advantage of this system is in particular that the floor element and the drain pot can first be installed in the floor of the shower room, for example inserted into a curing screed, without the final position of the drain element being predefined as a result. It is therefore sufficient if the drain pot and the floor element are pre-assembled within a very large tolerance range, since the fine adjustment can take place at a later point in time, for example when the floor covering is also applied. An elongate run-off channel can thus be aligned exactly, for example when applying floor tiles to a tile edge.In a system without an adjustable insert, the tile covering has to be adapted to the already fixed drainage element, for example to the fixed drainage channel. In contrast, in the system according to the invention, the fine adjustment of the discharge channel can be adapted to the alignment of the floor covering. It is thus possible for a drain channel, which is for example 1 meter long, to have the same distance from an adjoining shower wall over its entire length and also the same joint width from an adjoining floor covering.In a preferred embodiment:the first rotary guide track is arranged on the drain pot and enables a rotary movement in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axis,the second rotary guide track is arranged on the insert part and enables a rotary movement in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axis of the drain element coupled to the drain pot with respect to the drain pot,the insert part has a first linear guide track which is displaceable radially with respect to the first longitudinal axis and which enables a linear displacement of the outlet element coupled to the insert part with respect to the outlet pot.In the embodiment mentioned, the rotatable coupling point is thus provided between the drain pot and the insert element, while the insert part itself comprises an integrated linear guide track.In a preferred embodiment, the insert part is formed in multiple parts and comprises at least the following parts:an insert plate mounted rotatably in the first rotational guide track of the drain pot in the circumferential direction of the longitudinal axis and having the second rotational guide track compatible with the first rotational guide track,an eccentric part which is mounted radially displaceably with respect to the longitudinal axis in the first linear guide track of the insert plate and which has a second linear guide track compatible with the first linear guide track.Due to the multi-part configuration of the insert part, it is possible to provide only one of the two guide tracks, preferably one of the rotary guide tracks, on the drainage system itself and to integrate the other guide tracks into a second part provided for the insert part. In the case of an insert part comprising two individual parts, one part is therefore movable in a guide track with respect to the other part. When installing the drain system in the shower room, the insert plate can first be installed in the drain pot and brought into the desired rotational position. The eccentric part can then be inserted into the insert plate and brought into the desired radial position.In a further preferred embodiment, the linear guideways provided for the drainage system and / or the rotary guideways comprise special latching elements. In such a flow system, the first rotary guide track or the first linear guide track are each formed between contours. The corresponding counter-contours of the second rotary guide track or the corresponding counter-contours of the second linear guide track can be locked in a state in which the rotary guide tracks or the linear guide tracks are joined one inside the other. The second rotary guide track is fixed in the first rotary guide track in the longitudinal direction of the first longitudinal axis and is rotatable exclusively in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axis. The second linear guide track is fixed in the first linear guide track in the longitudinal direction of the first longitudinal axis and is exclusively displaceable radially with respect to the first longitudinal axis.The position of the insert part with respect to the longitudinal axis of the drain pot can thus be fixed and the insert part can be adapted to the actual position of the drain element in a targeted manner via a defined rotational direction and a defined displacement direction.In an advantageous embodiment of such a drainage system, the second rotary guide track and the first rotary guide track form a positive fit in the direction of the first longitudinal axis in a state in which the rotary guide tracks are joined together, or the second linear guide track and the first linear guide track form a positive fit in a state in which the linear guide tracks are joined together. This creates a modular drain pot with an integrated insert part, which can be inserted as a module into the first drain recess of the base element.The position of the insert can be adapted to the actual position of the drain element in that the insert can be rotated with respect to the drain pot in the circumferential direction of the longitudinal axis of the drain pot and the insert can be displaced radially with respect to the longitudinal axis.Preferably, the first rotational guide track is formed between a web encircling the drain pot on an inner lateral surface in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axis and a multiplicity of first latching noses which are formed on the inner lateral surface in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axis. The second rotary guide track is formed by a first shoulder which runs around the outer periphery of the insert part and at which the outer radius of the insert part narrows. As a result, the shoulder of the insert part can be locked in a simple manner between the web and the plurality of latching noses of the drain pot.In a further advantageous embodiment of such a drainage system, the insert plate has a depression region in which the first linear guide track is formed and the fourth drainage opening is preferably arranged asymmetrically with respect to the third longitudinal axis in the depression region. The eccentric part can be inserted with the second linear guide track into the first linear guide track in such a way that the fifth outlet opening preferably completely overlaps with the fourth outlet opening in the longitudinal direction of the third longitudinal axis. This results in an overlap region between the insert plate and the eccentric part, by means of which the fourth outlet opening narrows towards the fifth outlet opening and is displaceable further outwards in the radial direction. In simplified terms, the outlet opening of the eccentric part is significantly smaller than the outlet opening of the insert plate. Despite the significantly larger outlet opening of the eccentric part, the overlap region ensures that the insert plate is linearly displaceable on the eccentric part without any water flowing off past the insert plate being able to flow into the outlet opening of the eccentric part.It is further advantageous in such a drain system if the depression region has a bottom surface, in the cross section to the third longitudinal axis a contour with parallel side walls opposite one another in the radial direction to the third longitudinal axis, and a plurality of second latching noses with undersides, which are formed on an upper side of the insert plate in the depression region and project beyond the side walls. The eccentric part has an underside and a mating contour corresponding to the contour of the depression region, with parallel side walls. The first linear guide track is formed by the bottom surface, the side walls and the undersides, and the second linear guide track is formed by the underside and the side walls. The base part can then be inserted with the underside into the depression region in such a way that it is fixed in the longitudinal direction between the bottom surface of the depression region and the multiplicity of latching lugs in the depression region, but is displaceable in a radial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis. As a result, the fifth outlet opening is displaceable in the radial direction with respect to the fourth outlet opening.If, in such a drain system, the eccentric part has a plurality of predetermined breaking points which run transversely to the second linear guide track and are arranged at preferably regular intervals, the eccentric part can be separated, for example broken off or cut off, at a selected predetermined breaking point, depending on the distance at which the drain element is to be positioned on the shower wall in the mounted state. The predetermined breaking points can preferably be predetermined breaking grooves. Other types of predetermined breaking points, for example perforations, are also possible, however.It is advantageous if the outer contour of the eccentric part then runs between the side walls with identical radii and the predetermined breaking grooves run on an upper side of the eccentric part in the circumferential direction to the fourth longitudinal axis between the side walls with identical radii. After the eccentric part has been separated off in the mounted state at a desired predetermined breaking point, this results in a corresponding counter contour of the eccentric part having the same radius as the radius of the counter contour in the delivery state.The drain pot is preferably formed in multiple parts and has a plate installation piece which, in a pre-assembled state, can already be installed, for example glued, into the base element. In simplified terms, the plate installation piece forms an adapter which is fixedly installed in the base element and to which a plate connection piece can be attached. The plate connector piece can in turn be coupled universally to different types of odor trap systems. The panel chock or the odor trap system is rotatable in a coupled state of the panel chock and the odor trap system arbitrarily by 360° in the circumferential direction to the first longitudinal axis. As a result, the drain pot can be rotated into any desired positions and it is very simple to align a pipeline adjoining the drain pot in such a way that the drain is aligned in the direction of the pipe system present on the construction site side. The assembly of all tubes can be carried out in this way simply and without stress.In a further embodiment, the outlet element has an axis, a length direction, a width direction and a through opening. The drain element extends further in the length direction than in the width direction. The through-opening has, in the direction of the axis, in at least one section in the cross section to the axis a contour which is asymmetric with respect to a plane spanned by the length direction and the axis. Preferably, the mentioned contour is symmetrical to a plane spanned by the width direction and the axis. In simplified terms, the outlet opening is displaced outwards from the middle of the outlet element in this way. By means of such a contour, it is possible to place the drain element even closer in the direction of a shower wall.In a method for installing a drain system in a shower room, the drain system has a base element with a drain pot which can be installed or is installed in a drain recess of the base element. The outlet opening of the base element can be referred to as the first outlet opening, and the outlet opening of the outlet pot as the second outlet opening.Above the drain pot and the bottom element, a drain element, for example a drain channel, can be constructed. The outlet opening of the outlet element can be referred to as a third outlet opening. For the coupling of the drain pot and the drain element, the drain system has an insert part with a fourth drain opening. A first rotary guide track and a second rotary guide track are provided for rotating the insert part or the drain pot in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axis, and a first linear guide track and a second linear guide track are provided for radially displacing the insert part with respect to the first longitudinal axis. The linear guide tracks and the rotary guide track are each arranged either on the insert part or on the drain pot, so that the drain element is rotatable in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axis and is displaceable radially with respect to the first longitudinal axis with respect to the first longitudinal axis. The method comprises the following steps: a) preparing and installing the floor element in the shower room, b) inserting the insert part into the drain pot by inserting the first rotary guide track and the second rotary guide track into one another or by inserting the first linear guide track and the second linear guide track into one another, c) inserting the drain element into the third drain opening, and d) rotating the drain element in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axis by means of the rotary guide tracks and / or moving the drain element radially to the first longitudinal axis by means of the linear guide track into a desired position.With such a method, the drain element can be installed as close as possible to the wall at a shower room and the standing area in the shower room, at which it is not necessary to stand on a drain, can be enlarged. In this case, the position of the insert part can be adapted to the actual position of the drain element and, for example, an elongate drain channel can be fine-adjusted with respect to the parallel orientation to a shower wall.The method preferably comprises a working step in which the linear guideways or the rotary guideways are locked in a defined position. For this purpose, the first rotational guide track between contours or the first linear guide track between contours can be designed in such a way that the corresponding mating contours of the second rotational guide track or the corresponding mating contours of the second linear guide track can be locked in a state in which the rotational guide tracks or the linear guide tracks are joined one inside the other in such a way thatthe second rotary guide track is fixed in the first rotary guide track in the longitudinal direction of the first longitudinal axis and is rotatable exclusively in the circumferential direction of the first longitudinal axis, orthe second linear guide track is fixed in the first linear guide track in the longitudinal direction of the first longitudinal axis and is exclusively displaceable radially with respect to the first longitudinal axis.In such a method, in method step b), when the first rotational guide track and the second rotational guide track are inserted into one another, the second rotational guide track latches into the first rotational guide track or, when the first linear guide track and the second linear guide track are inserted into one another, the second linear guide track latches into the first linear guide track. The position of the insert part relative to the longitudinal axis of the drain pot can then be fixed and the insert part can be adapted to the desired position of the drain element in a targeted manner via a defined rotational direction and a defined displacement direction.The method for installing a drain system is particularly simple in its embodiment if the insert part is formed in multiple parts and has an insert plate and an eccentric part. The drain pot has the first rotary guide track. The insert plate has a depression region in which the first linear guide track is formed and the fourth outlet opening is arranged in the depression region. The eccentric part, which has a maximum dimension in a delivery state, has a fifth outlet opening and the second linear guide track. The eccentric part can be inserted with the second linear guide track into the first linear guide track of the insert plate in such a way that the fifth outlet opening completely overlaps with the fourth outlet opening in the longitudinal direction of the third longitudinal axis. The eccentric part has a plurality of predetermined breaking points, preferably predetermined breaking grooves, which run transversely to the second linear guide track and are arranged at regular intervals.In such a method including a multi-part insert part, in method step b), instead of a single-part insert part, the insert plate belonging to the multi-part insert part is inserted into the drain pot by inserting the first rotary guide track and the second rotary guide track into one another. The eccentric part is shortened at one of the predetermined breaking points from the maximum dimension in the delivery state to a desired reduced dimension in an assembly state. The eccentric part is inserted into the depression region by the joining of the first linear guide track and the second linear guide track. In such a method, in method step d) the eccentric part is moved radially to the first longitudinal axis until the eccentric part completely overlaps the fourth outlet opening in the longitudinal direction of the third longitudinal axis. As a result, the insert part can be installed in the drain pot particularly easily, since the insert plate is first installed in the drain pot and brought into the desired rotational position and the eccentric part is subsequently inserted into the insert plate and brought into the desired radial position.Depending on the distance at which the drain element is to be positioned on the shower wall in the mounted state, the eccentric part can be shortened to the desired dimension in a particularly simple manner. By moving the eccentric part until the predetermined breaking point lies in contact with the side wall of the depression region, the fourth outlet opening of the insert plate is tapered to the fifth outlet opening of the eccentric part through the overlap region between the insert plate and the eccentric part and is displaced further outwards in the radial direction.Further measures which improve the invention are illustrated in more detail below with the description of preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention on the basis of the figures.The figures show: FIG. 1 shows schematically a shower room with an installed drain system in a perspective view; FIG. 2 shows a schematic exploded illustration of such a flow system; FIG. 3 shows a schematic illustration of a plate chock of the drain system in a perspective illustration; FIG. 4 ashows a schematic representation of a drain element of the drain system in a perspective view; FIG. 4 bshows a schematic illustration of the outflow element according to FIG. 4 ain plan view; FIG. 4 cshows a detail of a schematic illustration of the outflow element according to FIG. 4 bin a plan view; FIG. 4 d shows a detail of a schematic illustration of the outflow element according to FIG. 4 a in a perspective view; FIG. 4 e shows a detail of a schematic illustration of the outflow element according to FIG. 4 cin a longitudinal section; FIG. 5 shows a schematic illustration of a first variant of a drain element cover of the drain system in a perspective view; FIG. 6 ashows a component of a multi-part designed insert part of the drain system, namely an insert plate, in a perspective view; FIG. 6 bshows a schematic representation of the insert plate according to FIG. 6 ain a perspective view; FIG. 6 cshows a schematic representation of the insert plate according to FIG. 6 ain a side view; FIG. 7 ashows a further component of a multi-part insert part of the drain system, namely an eccentric part, in a delivery state in plan view; FIG. 7 bshows a schematic representation of the eccentric part according to FIG. 7 ain a delivery state in a perspective view; FIG. 7 cshows a schematic representation of the eccentric part according to FIG. 7 ain a delivery state in side view; FIG. 7 d shows a schematic illustration of the eccentric part in an assembled state in plan view; FIG. 8a shows a schematic representation of a plate chock according to FIG. 3 installed in a base element with an insert plate according to FIGS. 6a to 6c inserted into the plate chock; FIG. 8 bshows a schematic representation of a plate chock according to FIG. 3 installed in a base element with an insert plate according to FIGS. 6 ato 6 c inserted into the plate chock and with an eccentric part inserted into the plate chock in the assembled state according to FIG. 7 d.Identical or similar elements can be provided with identical or similar reference numerals in the following figures. Furthermore, the figures of the drawing, their description and the claims contain numerous features in combination. A person skilled in the art will understand that these features can also be considered individually or they can be combined to form further combinations which are not described in more detail here. The invention expressly also extends to such embodiments which are not given by combinations of features from explicit references back to the claims, whereby the disclosed features of the invention can be combined with one another as desired, insofar as this is technically expedient. The embodiments shown in the figures are thus only descriptive in nature and are not intended to limit the invention in any way.FIG. 1 shows a drain system 1000 installed at a shower room 2000. A base element 10, for example a carrier element, has a first upper side 11, a first lower side 12 and first narrow sides 13 a- d. A drain recess 14 with a first drain opening 15 is introduced into the first top side 11, in which a drain pot 16 with a second drain opening 17 is arranged. A drain element 18, for example a mounting groove, is connected to the drain pot 16 via an insert part 19. In the exemplary embodiment shown, a two-part insert 19 is provided, which comprises an insert plate 70 and an eccentric part 71. The drain system 1000 is shown in a pre-assembled state in FIG. 1. This is to be understood as meaning that the components of the outlet system 1000, which are shown in an exploded illustration in FIG. 2, are already connected to one another and are inserted into the floor element 10. However, the drain member 18 is not yet in a fixed position, but rather is pivotable in a circumferential direction U and slidable in a linear direction L. An important advantage of the drainage system 1000 according to the invention is thus that the drainage system 1000 in this pre-assembled state can be very easily adapted to the local circumstances of an individual construction site, for example to shower walls which are not exactly oriented at right angles. Only after a fine adjustment of the run-off element possible in this way has taken place is the final fixing of the selected position carried out, for example by applying a screed or a tile covering.FIG. 2 shows individual components of the outlet system 1000 in an exploded perspective view. The drain pot 16 has a plate chock 20 with a first longitudinal axis 3000, a plate fitting 21 and an odor trap system 22, for example a shaft drain. In the illustration according to FIG. 2, the panel chock 20 is firmly connected to the floor element 10, namely glued into the floor element. For this reason, it is also not shown as a single part in the exploded illustration. Of course, other embodiments are also possible in principle, for example an embodiment in which a removable panel chock is provided or an embodiment in which the contour of the panel chock 20 is introduced into the floor element 10, for example by shaping.The plate installation piece 20 installed in the outlet recess 14 of the base element 10 in FIG. 2 is formed cylindrically. The first longitudinal axis 3000, which is a rotational axis of the plate chock 20, extends vertically and centrally through the second outlet opening 17.In FIG. 3, the plate chock 20 is shown in detail in a perspective view. The plate chock 20 functions, in simplified terms, as an adapter for connecting the aforementioned plate fitting 21 and the odor trap system 22. In the longitudinal direction of the first longitudinal axis 3000 from the height of the web 24 in the direction of the second outlet opening 17, the plate chock 20 has, in the region of the second outlet opening 17 on the inner lateral surface 23, four first latching noses 25 a- dwhich are spaced apart uniformly in the circumferential direction U and each have a second underside 26 a- d. Between the web 24 and the first latching noses 25 a- dis formed in the circumferential direction U of the first longitudinal axis 3000 a first rotational guide track 27 which is formed by the web 24, the inner lateral surface 23 and the second undersides 26 a- dof the first latching noses 25 a- d. The plate chock 20 is thus rotatable relative to the odor trap system 22 radially to the first longitudinal axis 3000 by 360° in the circumferential direction U.FIGS. 4 a- e show the outflow element 18 of the outflow system 1000. In the exemplary embodiment shown, an elongated drain channel is provided as drain element 18. Of course, other run-off elements can also be used, for example a short run-off channel or a point run-off.FIGS. 4 cand 4 d show the outlet element 18 in detail. FIG. 4e shows the outlet element 18 in a longitudinal section. The outlet element 18 can be formed in multiple parts and have a separate connection part and a separate outlet channel. The drain member 18 has a second top surface 29 having a rectangular shape. An axis 4000 runs perpendicularly through the center point of the second upper side 29. A first through opening 30 with a first opening 31 is formed in the second upper side 29 in the direction of the axis 4000. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the first through-opening 30 is symmetrical to the longitudinal direction and has an approximately oval contour 40 with end regions straightened in the longitudinal direction. In the direction of the axis 4000, away from the first opening 31, a first section 32 of the first through opening 30 is formed, which has a rectangular shape in the cross section to the axis 4000. In a first length direction 4100, the first section 32 has a first length 33. In a first width direction 4200, the first portion 32 has a first width 34. The corners of a first side wall 35 of the first portion 32 are rounded in the cross section to the axis 4000. The first section 32 is further adjoined in the direction of the axis 4000, away from the first opening 31, by a second section 36. In the second section 36, the clear width of the first section 32 decreases to a clear width of a third section 37 adjoining the second section 36.In a first variant of the drain element, in the second section 36, the first through-opening 30 has, in the direction of the length direction, two first recesses 38 a, 38 bwhich are rectangular symmetrically to the width direction, wherein first base surfaces 39 a, 39 bof the first recesses 38 a, 38 bare arranged at the same height in the direction of the axis 4000.In a second variant (not shown) of the outlet element 18, the second section 36 can have an approximately double kidney-shaped first contour in the cross section to the axis 4000 instead of the approximately oval contour 40. Due to the approximately double kidney-shaped first contour, it is possible to place the outlet element 18 even closer in the direction of a shower wall in this second variant.In both variants, a second contour 43 is arranged symmetrically to the width direction and has a rectangular basic shape in the cross section to the axis 4000, which basic shape is arranged with imaginary second narrow sides 45 a, 45 bin the direction of the length direction. On the imaginary second narrow sides 45 a, 45 b, the rectangular basic shape is extended in the length direction in each case by an approximately trapezoidal shape 46 a, 46 b, wherein the base of the base surface of the first trapezoidal shape 46 ais identical to the imaginary first of the second narrow sides 45 aand the base of the base surface of the second trapezoidal shape 46 bis identical to the imaginary second of the second narrow side 45 b. The legs of each of the approximately trapezoidal shapes 46a, 46b are slightly convex. At the transition of the second section 36 to the third section 37 which adjoins further in the direction of the axis 4000 away from the first opening 31, the inside width of the second contour 43 widens in the width direction to form a third contour 47 at second shoulders 48 a, 48 bwhich each form an undercut 49 a, 49 b. In the third section 37, the third contour 47 is formed with a second side wall 50 symmetrically to the axis 4000 and in two first circular regions 51 a, 51 b, which are opposite in the width direction and which correspond in each case to angular ranges of approximately 140° measured from the center of the second upper side 29, in the cross section to the axis 4000, in a circular manner with the same first radii 52 a, 52 band has third side walls 53 a, 53 b, which are part of the second side wall 50, in the first circular regions 51 a, 51 b. The center axes of the angular ranges of the first circular regions 51 a, 51 bare along the width direction. The center points of the circles of the first circle areas 51 a, 51 bare located on the center axes of the angle areas of the first circle areas 51 a, 51 b. The center points of the circles of the first circle areas 51 a, 51 bare not congruent. The second side wall 50 extends in two first linear regions 54 a, 54 b, which are opposite in the length direction and correspond to the two angle ranges between the first circular regions 51 a, 51 b, linearly between the third side walls 53 a, 53 bin the cross section, respectively. In the first linear regions 54 a, 54 b, the third contour 47 has fourth side walls 55 a, 55 b. In the first of the first linear regions 54 a, the first of the third side walls 53 ais connected to the second of the third side walls 53 bvia the first of the fourth side walls 55 a. In the second one of the first linear regions 54 b, the first one of the third side walls 53 ais connected to the second one of the third side walls 53 bvia a second one of the fourth side walls 55 b. Further in the direction of the axis 4000, away from the first opening 31, the third section opens into a second opening 56, which forms a third outlet opening 57.FIG. 5 shows a drain element cover 58 in a first variant. The outlet element cover 58 has a cuboidal first base body 59, for example a web, having a second longitudinal axis 5000 and a transverse axis 6000. From a side surface 60 of the first base body 59 which, in the assembled state, forms the underside of the first base body 59 and can be one of the largest side surfaces of the first base body 59, a second base body 61 extends in the direction of the transverse axis 6000, to which a dirt collector or a grid for collecting, in particular hair, contained in the wastewater to be discharged can be coupled (not shown).For the drain element cover 58, a holder is provided in the drain element 18, into which it can be easily inserted and removed. If necessary, a dirt collector attached to the base body 61 can thus be easily cleaned.As already explained further above, the insert part 19 comprises an insert plate 70 and an eccentric part 71 (cf. FIG. 2 ). FIGS. 6 ato 6 c show the insert part 19 in detail in various views, FIGS. 7 ato 7 d show the eccentric part 71, which is likewise illustrated in various views.FIG. 6 ashows the insert plate 70 in a plan view. FIG. 6 bshows the insert plate 70 in a perspective illustration. FIG. 6 cshows the insert plate 70 in a side view. The insert plate 70 is designed in the form of a plate with an outer radius 72 and has a fourth upper side 73 pointing in the direction of the outlet element 18 and a third lower side 74 pointing in the direction of the outlet pot 16. A third longitudinal axis 7000 runs perpendicularly through the center point of the fourth upper side 73. the insert plate 70 has on an outer periphery 75 a third shoulder 76 which extends around the outer periphery 75 and at which the outer radius 72 tapers from a first region 77 to a second region 78. In the first region 77, an outer lateral surface of the insert plate 70 is rounded off perpendicularly to the circumferential direction U of the insert plate 70. The fourth upper side 73, the third shoulder 76 and the outer lateral surface in the first region 77 and in the second region 78 form a second rotary guide track 80. By means of the second rotary guide track 80 integrated into the insert plate 70, the insert plate 70, and thus also a drain element 18 coupled to the insert plate 70, is thus mounted rotatably in the circumferential direction U.In the fourth upper side 73, in the direction of the third longitudinal axis 7000, a first recess 81 is formed with a depression region 82, which has a fifth side wall 83, and with a second bottom surface 84. The depression region 82 serves for receiving the second component of the assembly "insert part 19", namely the eccentric part 71.The depression region 82 is arranged symmetrically with respect to the third longitudinal axis 7000. The depression region 82 is formed in two opposite radial directions 7100, 7200, which are first to the third longitudinal axis 7000, in the cross section to the third longitudinal axis 7000, in second circular regions 85 a, 85 bwhich each correspond to angular regions of approximately 110° measured from the third longitudinal axis 7000, with identical second radii 86 a, 86 band has in the second circular regions 85 a, 85 brespectively sixth side walls 87 a, 87 bwhich are part of the fifth side wall 83. The first of the second circle regions 85 aincludes the first of the sixth side walls 87 a. The second of the second circle portions 85 bhas the second of the sixth side walls 87 b. The second radii 86 a, 86 bare smaller than the outer radius 72. the central axes of the angular ranges of the second circular regions 85 a, 85 bare located along the first radial directions 7100, 7200. The circle centers of the second circle regions 85 a, 85 bare located on the center axes of the angle regions of the second circle regions 85 a, 85 band along the first radial directions 7100, 7200. The center points of the circles of the second circle areas 85 a, 85 bare congruent.Webs 89 a, 89 bremain in the radial direction to the third longitudinal axis 7000 between an outer edge 88 of the fourth upper side 73 and the sixth side walls 87 a, 87 b. The fifth side wall 83 runs in opposite second linear regions 90 a, 90 b, which correspond to the angular regions between the two angular regions of the second circular regions 85 a, 85 b, in the cross section to the third longitudinal axis 7000, in each case linearly between the sixth side walls 87 a, 87 bwith seventh side walls 91 a, 91 b.In the first of the second linear regions 90 a, the first of the sixth side walls 87 ais connected to the second of the sixth side walls 87 a, 87 bvia the first of the seventh side walls 91 a. In the second of the second linear regions 90 b, the first of the sixth side walls 87 ais connected to the second of the sixth side walls via the second of the seventh side walls 91 b. The second linear regions 90 a, 90 bare opposed along the two directions that are perpendicular to the first radial directions 7100, 7200.Overall, the depression region 82 has an approximately slot-like shape in the cross section to the third longitudinal axis 7000. In the second linear regions 90 a, 90 b, two second latching noses 92 a- dare arranged on the seventh side walls 91 a, 91 b, which are formed on the fourth top side 73 in the depression region 82 and project beyond the seventh side walls 91 a, 91 b. The latching noses 92 a- dare used to hold the eccentric part 71 inserted into the depression region 82 on the one hand in the vertical direction and on the other hand to be designed to be displaceable in the horizontal direction. The eccentric part 71 inserted into the depression region 82 can thus be linearly pushed back and forth in the linear direction L below the latching lugs.In the direction of the second bottom surface 84, the second latching noses 92 a- deach have a fourth underside 93 a- d. The second bottom surface 84, the fifth side wall 83 and the fourth undersides 93 a- dof the second latching noses 92 a- dform a first linear guide track 94. Adjoining the depression region 82, in the direction of the third longitudinal axis 7000 away from the fourth upper side 73, is a third through opening 95 with a fourth outlet opening 96. The fourth outlet opening 96 is arranged asymmetrically with respect to the third longitudinal axis 7000. The third through-opening 95, which has an eighth side wall 97, is formed in the first radial directions 7100, 7200 in third circular regions 98 a, 98 b, which correspond in each case to angular ranges measured from the center point of the fourth upper side 73, in the cross section to the third longitudinal axis 7000, in a circular manner with identical third radii 99 a, 99 b. The third circular regions 98 a, 98 bhave ninth side walls 100 a, 100 bwhich are part of the eighth side wall 97. The first of the third circular regions 98 a, 98 bhas the first of the ninth side walls 100 a. The second of the third circular regions 98 a, 98 bhas the second of the ninth side walls 100 b. The angular range of the first of the third circular regions 98 ais approximately 90°, wherein the first of the first radial directions 7100, 7200 corresponds to the central axis of the angular range of the first of the third circular regions 98 a, 98 b.The angular range of the second of the third circular regions 98 bis approximately 150°, wherein the first of the first radial directions 7100, 7200 corresponds to the central axis of the angular range of the second of the third circular regions 98 b. The third radii 99 a, 99 bare smaller than the outer radius 72 and the second radii 86 a, 86 b. The central axes of the angular ranges of the third circular regions 98 a, 98 bare located along the first radial directions 7100, 7200. The center of the circle of the first of the third circle areas 98a is congruent with the center of the circle of the second circle areas 85a, 85b. The center of the circle of the second of the third circle areas 98 bis not congruent with the center of the circle of the second circle areas 85 a, 85 band lies on the center axis of the angle range of the second of the third circle areas 98 a, 98 band along the first radial directions 7100, 7200, wherein the center of the circle of the second of the third circle areas 98 bis radially displaced with respect to the third longitudinal axis 7000 in the direction of the first radial direction. The eighth side wall 97 runs in opposite third linear regions 101 a, 101 b, which correspond to the angular regions between the two angular regions of the third circular regions 98 a, 98 b, in the cross section to the third longitudinal axis 7000, in each case linearly between the ninth side walls 100 a, 100 bwith tenth side walls 102 a, 102 b.In the first of the third linear regions 101 a, the first of the ninth side walls 100 ais connected to the second of the ninth side walls 100 bvia a first of the tenth side walls 102 a, 102 b. In the second of the third linear regions 101 a, 101 b, the first of the ninth side walls 100 ais connected to the second of the ninth side walls 100 bvia a second of the tenth side walls 102 a, 102 b. Overall, the third through-opening 95 has an approximately slot-like shape in cross section. The second bottom surface 84 surrounds the third through opening 95 in the cross section to the third longitudinal axis 7000.In FIG. 7 a, the eccentric part 71 is shown in a delivery state in plan view. In FIG. 7 b, the eccentric part 71 is shown in a delivery state in a perspective illustration. In FIG. 7 c, the eccentric part 71 is shown in a delivery state in a side view. The eccentric part 71 has a fifth upper side 103 facing the drain element 18 and a fifth lower side 104 facing the drain pot 16. A fourth longitudinal axis 8000 extends perpendicularly through the center point of the fifth upper side. An outer contour 105 of the eccentric part 71 forms a contour counter to the contour of the depression region 82 of the insert plate 70, which contour is produced by the course of the five side walls and the sixth side walls 87 a, 87 b, such that the eccentric part 71 can be inserted into the depression region 82. Fourth linear regions 106 a, 106 bof the outer contour 105 having eleventh side walls 107 a, 107 bcorresponding to the second linear regions 90 a, 90 bof the depression region 82 having the seventh side walls 91 a, 91 b. Fourth circular regions 108 a, 108 bof the outer contour 105 with twelfth side walls 109 a, 109 bcorresponding to the second circular regions 85 a, 85 bof the depression region 82 with the sixth side walls 87 a, 87 b. The eccentric part 71 can thus be inserted into the depression region 82 of the insert plate 70 and can be displaced linearly in the linear direction L.In the direction of the fourth longitudinal axis 8000, a second recess 110 having a third region 111 and a thirteenth side wall 112 is introduced into the fifth upper side 103. The second recess 110 forms a flow channel for water flowing into the drain pot 16. The second recess 110 is arranged symmetrically to the fourth longitudinal axis 8000. The third region 111 is formed in two opposite radial directions 8100, 8200, which are second to the fourth longitudinal axis 8000, in the cross section to the fourth longitudinal axis 8000 in fifth circular regions 113 a, 113 bwhich correspond in each case to angular ranges of approximately 150° measured from the fourth longitudinal axis 8000, in a circular manner with identical fourth radii 114 a, 114 band has fourteenth side walls 115 a, 115 bwhich are part of the thirteenth side wall 112 in the fifth circular regions 113 a, 113 b. The first of the fifth circular regions 113 a, 113 bhas a first of the fourteenth side walls 115 a.The second of the fifth circular regions 113 a, 113 bhas a second of the fourteenth side walls 115 b. The fourth radii 114 a, 114 bare equal to the third radii 99 a, 99 b. The center points of the circles of the fifth circle areas 113 a, 113 bare not congruent. The circle centers of the fifth circle areas 113 a, 113 bare located on the center axes of the angle ranges of the fifth circle areas 113 a, 113 band along the second radial directions 8100, 8200, wherein the circle center of the second of the fifth circle areas 113 bis radially displaced with respect to the fourth longitudinal axis 8000 in the direction of the first of the second radial directions 8100 and the circle center of the first of the fifth circle areas 113 bis radially displaced with respect to the fourth longitudinal axis 8000 in the direction of the second of the second radial directions 8200. The thirteenth side wall 112 runs in opposite fifth linear regions 116 a, 116 b, which correspond to the angular regions between the two angular regions of the fifth circular regions 113 a, 113 b, in the cross section to the fourth longitudinal axis 8000 in each case linearly between the fourteenth side walls 115 a, 115 bwith fifteenth side walls 117 a, 117 b.In the first of the fifth linear regions 116 a, the first of the fourteenth side walls 115 ais connected to the second of the fourteenth side walls 115 bvia a first of the fifteenth side walls 117 a. In the second of the fifth linear regions 116 b, the first of the fourteenth side walls 115 ais connected to the second of the fourteenth side walls 115 bvia a second of the fifteenth side walls 117 b.Overall, the third region 111 has an approximately slot-like shape in cross section. Along the fourth longitudinal axis 8000, away from the fifth upper side, the third region 111 narrows at a fourth shoulder 118 which surrounds the thirteenth side wall 112 on the inside, to a fourth region having a fifth outlet opening 120. The fifth outlet opening 120 and the outer contour 105 are arranged with respect to one another in such a way that the thirteenth side wall 112 in the fifth linear regions 116 a, 116 brun parallel to the fourth linear regions. From the first of the fourteenth side walls 115 aof the first of the fifth circular regions 113 bradially with respect to the fourth longitudinal axis 8000 in the second radial direction, a plurality of predetermined breaking points, in the exemplary embodiment shown predetermined breaking grooves 121 a- k, is arranged at regular intervals. A distance between two break-off grooves 121 a- kis about 1.5 mm. The individual break-off grooves 121 a- krun with the same fifth radius as the first of the fourth radii 114 a, 114 bof the first of the fifth circular regions 113 bin the circumferential direction U of the fourth longitudinal axis 8000. The eleventh side walls 107 a, 107 b, the twelfth side walls 109 a, 109 band the fifth underside 104 form a second linear guide track 122. The eccentric part 71 and thus also a run-off element 18 coupled to the eccentric part 71 is thus linearly displaceable in the mentioned linear guide track 122.In simplified terms, the linear guideways 94, 122 described permit a linear displacement of a run-off channel in the linear direction L for setting a desired wall spacing. Furthermore, the rotary guide tracks 27, 80 permit pivoting in the circumferential direction U and thus adjustment of the setting angle, that is to say in particular also a parallel alignment of the discharge channel with respect to a floor covering or an adjoining shower wall.In FIG. 7 d, the same eccentric part 71 is shown in a mounting state in plan view. At the third one of the break-off grooves 121 c, the eccentric part 71 is broken off and is correspondingly shorter in the first radial direction by the broken-off part than in the delivery state according to FIG. 7 a. An advantage of the predetermined breaking points mentioned is that the size of the eccentric part 71 can be selected as a function of an individual distance dimension desired at the construction site with respect to an adjacent shower wall.In Figure 8a, the floor element 10 is shown with the panel chock 20 and the insert panel 70 installed in the panel chock 20. The insert plate 70 is inserted into the second drain opening 17 such that the third bottom side 74 faces toward the plate chock 20. The third shoulder 76 of the insert plate 70 lies in contact with the web 24 of the plate chock 20. The insert plate 70 is rotatable radially through 360° in the installed state.In FIG. 8 b, the base element 10 is shown with the plate chock 20, with the insert plate 70 installed in the plate chock 20 and with the eccentric part 71 installed in the depression region 82 of the insert plate 70. The eccentric member 71 is shortened from a maximum dimension in the supply state to a desired reduced dimension in the mounting state before being inserted into the recessed portion 82. In the assembled state, the eccentric part 71 is inserted into the depression region 82 in such a way that the fifth underside 104 points in the direction of the insert plate 70 and in the direction of the plate chock 20 and the first radial directions 7100, 7200 and second radial directions 8100, 8200 are congruent with one another. In this case, the fifth underside 104 of the eccentric part 71 lies in contact with the second base surface 84 of the depression region 82 of the insert plate 70.The eccentric part 71 is latched between the second bottom surface 84 and the second latching noses 92 a- d, so that the eccentric part 71 is fixed in the longitudinal direction of the first longitudinal axis 3000 and the third longitudinal axis 7000. The eccentric member 71 is linearly movable in the linear direction L between a first displacement state and a second displacement state in the recessed portion 82. In the first displacement state, the first one of the sixth side walls 87 aof the recess portion 82 of the insert plate 70 and the first one of the twelfth side walls 109 aof the outer contour 105 of the eccentric member 71 abut each other. In the second displacement state, the second one of the sixth side walls 87 bof the recess region 82 of the insert plate 70 and the second one of the twelfth side walls 109 bof the outer contour 105 of the eccentric part 71 abut.In a method for installing a drain system 1000 at a shower location 2000, the drain pot 16 is installed in the drain recess 14 of the floor element 10 and / or the floor element 10 with the installed drain pot 16 is installed and fixed at the shower location 2000 approximately at the desired position and with the desired orientation, for example inserted into a curable screed. By "installed approximately at the desired position" is meant that the drainage system 100 realizes a very large tolerance range by the integration according to the invention of radial and linear guideways. As long as the installation position of the drain pot 16 and the base element 10 lies within this tolerance range, the fine adjustment to be carried out at the later point in time enables the realization of any desired spacing and angular orientation of the drain channel.After installation of the drain pot 16, the processing of further operations to be carried out at the construction site is possible. In particular, it is possible to begin applying a floor covering, for example floor tiles, and to lead it to the discharge channel. If the work has advanced to such an extent that the desired position and orientation in the installed state-in simplified terms: by eye-can be recognized, the insert plate 70 is inserted into the second outlet opening 17 of the outlet pot 16 in such a way that the third underside 74 points in the direction of the outlet pot 16, and latches with the third shoulder 76 between the web 24 and the first latching noses 25 a- d, so that the insert plate 70 is fixed in the longitudinal direction of the first longitudinal axis 3000 and the third longitudinal axis 7000.The eccentric member 71 is optionally shortened from the maximum dimension provided in the supply state to the desired reduced dimension in the mounting state by breaking at one of the predetermined breaking grooves 121 a- k. The shortened eccentric part 71 is inserted into the depression region 82 of the insert plate 70 in such a way that the fifth underside 104 points in the direction of the insert plate 70 and of the drain pot 16 and latches between the second bottom surface 84 of the depression region 82 and the second latching noses 92 a- dsuch that the eccentric part 71 is fixed in the longitudinal direction of the first longitudinal axis 3000 and the third longitudinal axis 7000. The eccentric part 71 is then displaced into the second displacement state, wherein the fifth outlet opening 120 completely overlaps with the fourth outlet opening 96 in the longitudinal direction of the third longitudinal axis 7000, and the fourth outlet opening 96 is thereby tapered toward the fifth outlet opening 120. An outer contour 105 of the sixth section of the outlet element is inserted into the fifth outlet opening 120 of the eccentric part 71, wherein the outer contour 105 of the sixth section corresponds as a mating contour to the inner contour of the fifth outlet opening 120. The outlet element 18, the insert plate 70 and the eccentric part 71 are brought into a desired position radially and / or linearly with respect to the outlet pot 16. The drain system 1000 may optionally be fixed in the desired position, for example, by gluing.The sequence of the method steps can be carried out as desired, as far as possible. Thus, for example, it is of course also possible first to insert the insert plate 70 into the drain pot 16 and latch it and only then to shorten the eccentric part 71 before the insert plate 70 is inserted into the drain pot 16.The drain pot 16 is suitable both for circular drain elements, so-called point drains, and for drain channels. For point operations and for channel operations, only one type of drain pots is thus required. Despite the universal applicability of the drain pot 16, the distance from an outer edge 88 of the drain element 18 designed, for example, as a channel to a shower wall can be kept very small, because the fifth drain opening 120 formed in the eccentric part 71 is displaceable radially to the first longitudinal axis 3000, i.e. in the direction of an outer edge 88 of the drain pot 16. The drain pot 16 is dimensioned sufficiently large in the direction of the first longitudinal axis 3000 away from the insert plate 70 so that it is possible without complications that the outflowing water does not run centrally into the drain pot 16 in the installed end position of the drain system 1000, but offset with respect to the outer edge 88 of the drain pot 16.In a further embodiment, the floor element 10 can be combined, for example, with one or more downgrade plates.The base element 10 can have a fold 123 on at least one of the first narrow sides 13 a- d. As a result, the floor element 10 can also be installed without sloping plates in a screed in combination with a seal, such as sealing grubs or sealing tracks.List of reference characters1000 Drain system 2000 Shower room 10 Floor element 11 First upper side 12 First lower side 13 a- dFirst narrow sides 14 Drain recess 15 First drain opening 16 Drain pot 17 Second drain opening 18 Drain element 19 Insert part 20 Plate chock 21 Plate connecting piece 3000 First longitudinal axis 22 Odor trap system 23 Inner jacket surface 24 Web 25 a- dFirst latching noses 26 a- dSecond lower sides 27 First rotational guide track 28 Outer edge 29 Second upper side 4000 Axis 30 First through opening 31 First opening 32 First section 4100 First longitudinal direction 33 First length 4200 First width direction 34 First width 35 First side wall 36 Second section 37 Third section 38 a, 38 bFirst recesses 39 a, 39 bFirst floor surfaces 40 First contour 41 Outer edge (of 10) 42- 43 Second contour 44- 45 a, 45 b second narrow sides 46 a, 46 b foregoing trapezoidal shapes 47 third contour 48 a, 48 b second shoulders 49 a, 49 b undercut 50 second side wall 51 a, 51 bfirst circular regions 52 a, 52 bfirst radii 53 a, 53 bthird side walls 54 a, 54 bfirst linear regions 55 a, 55 bfirst side walls 56 second opening 57 third outlet opening 58 outlet element cover 59 first base body 5000 second longitudinal axis 6000 transverse axis 60 side surface 61 second base body 62- 63- 64- 65- 66- 67- 68- 69- 5100 second longitudinal direction 5200 second width direction 70 insert plate 71 eccentric part 72 outer radius 73 fourth upper side 74 third lower side 7000 third longitudinal axis 75 outer periphery 76 third shoulder 77 first region 78 second region 79 outer lateral surface 80 second rotational guide track 81 first 82 depression region 83 fifth side wall 84 second bottom surface 7100 first of the first radial directions 7200 first radial directions 85a, 85b second circle regions 86a, 86b second radii 87a, 87b sixth side walls 88 outer edge 89a, 89b webs 90a, 90b second linear regions 91a, 91b seventh side walls 92a-d second latching noses 93a-d fourth undersides 94 first linear guide track 95 third through opening 96 fourth outlet opening 97 eighth side wall 98a, 98b third circle regions 99a, 99b third radii 100a, 100b ninth side walls 101a, 101b third linear regions 102a, 102b tenth side walls 103 fifth upper side 104 fifth underside 8000 fourth longitudinal axis 105 outer contour 106a, 106b fourth linear regions 107a, 107b eleventh side walls 108 a, 108 b, fourth circular regions 109 a, 109 b, twelfth side walls 110 second recess 111 third region 112 thirteenth side wall 8100, 8200 second radial directions 113 a, 113 b, fifth circular regions 114 a, 114 b, fourth radii 115 a, 115 b, fourteenth side walls 116 a, 116 b, fifth linear regions 117 a, 117 b, fifteenth side walls 118 fourth shoulder 119 fourth region 120 fifth outlet opening 121 a- k, break-off grooves 122 second linear guide track 123 fold U, circumferential direction L, linear directionReferences included in the specificationThis list of documents cited by the applicant has been produced in an automated manner and is only included for the better information of the reader.
