Description

[0001] The invention relates to a fluidic deflection unit, in particular for use in the sanitary sector, comprising a lower housing part, an upper housing part and two hose receptacles, wherein at least one respective upper section of the hose receptacles is formed on the upper housing part and a connecting channel fluidically connecting the hose receptacles is formed on the lower housing part.

[0002] The invention further relates to the use of a hose for interrupting a fluidic connection in a fluidic deflection unit according to the invention.

[0003] Such fluidic diversion units are used, for example, in the sanitary sector to reverse the flow direction of a fluid, for example drinking water. For example, on a sanitary fitting, the outflow direction of water from a valve can be directed in a different direction than that in which a fitting outlet of the sanitary fitting is located. For example, the outflow direction can be directed towards a lower fastening end of the sanitary fitting, while the fitting outlet is located on a lateral housing section of the sanitary fitting. One way to divert the water there is to attach a hose to the valve and a hose to the fitting outlet and to lead both hoses out at the lower end of the sanitary fitting. A fluidic diversion unit can then be attached to both hose ends and used to reverse the fluid flow.Here, the flow direction of the water can be rotated by 180°, so that the water flows from the valve into the first hose in the direction of the lower fastening end of the sanitary fitting, from there into the fluidic deflection unit, in which the flow direction is rotated by 180°, after which the water flows further into the second hose and to the fitting outlet.

[0004] The object of the invention is to improve the performance characteristics of such fluidic deflection units.

[0005] To achieve the stated object, the features of claim 1 are provided according to the invention. In particular, to achieve the stated object, in fluidic deflection units of the type described above, the invention proposes that the upper housing part have securing elements for a hose that can be inserted into one of the hose receptacles, and that the securing elements are accommodated at least in one axial section in a common interior space of the lower housing part. For example, two securing elements, one for each hose receptacle, can be provided.

[0006] This allows for the particularly simple manufacture of such fluidic deflection units. Because the securing elements are housed in a common interior space of the lower housing section, the hose, which can be inserted into the hose receptacle, can be routed directly into the interior of the lower housing section. More complex designs of the interior space and the transition between the upper and lower housing sections can be reduced or eliminated.

[0007] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the housing upper part at least partially surrounds the housing lower part on the outer circumference side, at least in an upper housing lower part section.

[0008] In this way, the lower housing section can be protected against external influences, at least in sections. The upper housing section can close off the lower housing section at the top. A connection between the upper and lower housing sections can be relocated to an outer side of the lower housing section, allowing easy access and shielding it from the interior of the fluidic deflection unit, which is at least partially filled with water when the fluidic deflection unit is in use.

[0009] Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the upper housing part limits the common interior space of the lower housing part in the axial direction.

[0010] Thus, the upper part of the housing can shield the interior from external influences.

[0011] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that in the common interior of the lower housing part, a support part acting in both hose receptacles is designed for the axial guidance of a hose that can be inserted into one of the hose receptacles.

[0012] In this way, the insertable hose can also be routed inside the lower housing section. For example, one end of the insertable hose can be routed to a diverter section that implements the fluidic diverter. Thus, the insertable hose itself, which supplies the water, can be used to guide the water within the fluidic diverter unit. A more complex design of internal water guides can be reduced or eliminated. Furthermore, a watertight design of the upper sections of the hose receptacles or the connection between the upper and lower housing sections can be dispensed with.

[0013] Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that a support member, or the support member acting in both hose receptacles, is designed in the common interior of the housing lower part to absorb transverse forces acting on a hose that can be inserted into one of the hose receptacles. In this context, a transverse force can be understood in particular as a force acting orthogonally to a longitudinal direction of the inserted hose and / or the hose receptacle and / or a direction of insertion of the hose into the hose receptacle.

[0014] The support element can be adjusted to the hose size in such a way that a very small gap remains between the hose and the support element. This allows the hose to remain flexible. However, when bent, the hose will rest against the support element after only a small deflection, allowing transverse forces or bending forces to be dissipated. These movements and forces are therefore not transmitted to sealing elements, thus ensuring the seal is not compromised.

[0015] This also prevents damage to the hose and / or the fluidic diverter unit. The likelihood of the plug-in hose being accidentally pulled out of the fluidic diverter unit or of the hose becoming kinked can be reduced. This is particularly advantageous if the fluidic diverter unit is located in an area, such as a cabinet beneath a sink or washbasin, where objects are frequently moved, which could cause them to collide with the fluidic diverter unit or the hoses inserted into it.

[0016] In an advantageous embodiment, the upper housing part can be connected to the lower housing part in a force-locking and / or positive-locking manner. In this case, the upper housing part can be locked to the lower housing part.

[0017] In this way, the upper housing section can be connected to the lower housing section in such a way that the fluidic deflection unit cannot fall apart. The connection between the upper and lower housing sections can, for example, be permanent or can only be removed with a tool. This ensures a permanent connection.

[0018] In an advantageous embodiment, the upper housing part can be provided with receiving openings for the hose. Alternatively or additionally, the upper housing part can be provided with receiving openings for the securing elements.

[0019] In this way, a position of the inserted hose or the securing elements on the fluidic deflection unit can be determined.

[0020] In an advantageous embodiment, the securing elements can be designed to secure a hose against being pulled out. Alternatively or additionally, the securing elements can be designed to be self-locking. Alternatively or additionally, the securing elements can be designed to be self-clawing.

[0021] These measures simplify the assembly and disassembly of hoses to and from the fluidic diverter unit. The hose ends can be designed without connectors. The use of hose nipples can be avoided. For example, a hose can be cut to the appropriate length from a longer hose, especially at the installation site, and used for assembly in the fluidic diverter unit without any further measures.

[0022] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the securing elements can be connected to the upper part of the housing in a force-locking and / or form-locking manner.

[0023] In this way, a particularly secure connection of the hose to the fluidic deflection unit can be achieved.

[0024] The locking elements can be detachably attached to the top of the housing. This allows for easy replacement.

[0025] Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the securing elements completely enclose a hose that can be inserted into one of the hose receptacles in at least one axial section on the circumference.

[0026] This allows for particularly good hose guidance. The securing elements can absorb, at least partially, the transverse forces acting on the hose. For example, the support element can support the absorption of transverse forces, as already described.

[0027] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the securing elements have projections which enable a force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection of the securing elements to the upper part of the housing.

[0028] Thus, the securing elements can be secured in the upper part of the housing.

[0029] Alternatively or additionally, the securing elements may be provided with claws that enable a force-fitting and / or positive connection of the securing elements to the insertable hose. Additionally, the claws may be internal.

[0030] This allows the insertable hose to be secured in the securing element. Especially if the securing element itself is secured in the upper housing section, the hose can be secured relative to the upper housing section.

[0031] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the upper part of the housing has a hold-down device for the securing elements.

[0032] Thus, the mobility of the securing element relative to the upper housing part can be restricted or used to introduce a force into the securing element when the securing element moves, preferably in the axial direction, relative to the upper housing part. This force can be used, for example, to deform the securing element.

[0033] In addition, it can be provided that the lower part of the housing has an abutment for the hold-down device.

[0034] This allows the movement of the hold-down device to be limited. The abutment can, for example, act on the hold-down device in an axial direction.

[0035] In an advantageous embodiment, the support part can be provided with contact surfaces extending parallel to a respective longitudinal axis of the hose receptacles for a respective hose that can be inserted into the respective hose receptacle. In this case, it can additionally be provided that the contact surfaces describe a circumferential surface of a cylinder.

[0036] This allows the securing elements to be specifically adapted to absorb transverse forces acting on the hose. This increases the safety of the fluidic deflection unit with hoses inserted into it.

[0037] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the hose receptacles, in particular in at least one axial section, are fluidically connected to one another beyond the connecting channel.

[0038] This allows the interior of the housing base to be designed even more simply, further reducing the manufacturing effort for the fluidic deflection unit. Sealing the hose receptacles from each other can be eliminated, at least beyond the connecting channel, by routing the inserted hoses within the hose receptacle to the connecting channel.

[0039] Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the hose receptacles on the one hand and the connecting channel on the other hand are arranged in such a way that they can be separated by a plane.

[0040] In this way, the position of the hose receptacles and the connecting channel can be more clearly defined. Any influence or obstruction of the fluidic direction change realized by the connecting channel by the hose receptacles can be avoided.

[0041] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that at least one sealing element acting in both hose receptacles at least partially fills the fluidic connection.

[0042] This allows the number of components of the fluidic deflection unit to be reduced, simplifying its manufacturing. The housing can be manufactured in a simplified manner and without fluidic separation of the hose receptacles, with their separation being ensured by the sealing element.

[0043] Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that at least one sealing element acting in both hose receptacles consists of two rings connected to one another.

[0044] The sealing element can thus be adapted to accommodate and seal the hoses that can be inserted into the fluidic deflection unit.

[0045] In both of the previously described embodiments, it can be provided that the at least one sealing element is arranged adjacent to one or the support part.

[0046] The sealing element can thus be supported by the support part. Attaching the sealing element to the housing may be unnecessary.

[0047] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the hose receptacles are fluidically connected to one another over their entire course in the axial direction.

[0048] This further reduces the design and manufacturing effort for the housing. The hose receptacles can be sealed against each other by the hose itself.

[0049] Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the or a fluidic connection fluidically connecting the hose receptacles and the connecting channel form a common interior space of the housing lower part.

[0050] A transition can thus exist between the fluid connection and the connecting channel. Sealing the fluid connection or the hose receptacles from each other using components of the fluid deflection unit may be unnecessary. The sealing can be achieved by the inserted hose itself.

[0051] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the respective longitudinal axes of the hose receptacles are aligned parallel to the respective longitudinal axes of the openings at the ends of the connecting channel. In this case, it can be provided that the longitudinal axes of the hose receptacles are aligned congruently with the respective longitudinal axes of the openings at the ends of the connecting channel.

[0052] This allows the water to be directed directly and with little turbulence from one hose receptacle into the connecting channel and from the connecting channel to the other hose receptacle.

[0053] In an advantageous embodiment, the housing lower part can be provided with at least one reinforcing rib on the outside. Preferably, the housing lower part has three reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs can run transversely to the insertion direction of a hose.

[0054] This increases the stability of the lower housing section. This can increase the durability of the lower housing section and reduce the risk of fatigue fractures. Furthermore, accidental loosening of the connection between the upper and lower housing sections can be prevented.

[0055] Alternatively or additionally, the features of the independent claim directed to the use of a hose are provided according to the invention to achieve the stated object. In particular, to achieve the stated object, for uses of the type described above, the invention proposes that the hose be used to interrupt a fluidic connection in a fluidic deflection unit according to the invention, wherein the hose is inserted into a hose receptacle into which the fluidic connection opens. In this case, it can be provided that the connecting channel remains open.

[0056] Thus, the advantages of the fluidic deflection units according to the invention can be utilized when using hoses. The design effort and the number of components of the fluidic deflection unit can be reduced because the inserted hose itself seals the hose receptacles from each other.

[0057] The invention will now be described in more detail using exemplary embodiments, but is not limited to the exemplary embodiments. Further exemplary embodiments arise from combining the features of one or more claims with one another and / or with one or more features of the exemplary embodiments.

[0058] They show: Fig. 1 a first fluidic deflection unit according to the invention in a sectional view, Fig. 2 the fluidic deflection unit Fig. 1 in a perspective sectional view, Fig. 3 the fluidic deflection unit from the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 in a view from above, Fig. 4 a second fluidic deflection unit according to the invention in a sectional view, Fig. 5 the fluidic deflection unit Fig. 4 in a perspective sectional view, Fig. 6 the in Fig. 5 section of the fluidic deflection unit marked X from the Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, Fig. 7 the fluidic deflection unit from the Fig. 4 to 6 in a perspective sectional view with uncut securing element, Fig. 8 a securing element in a perspective view, Fig. 9 a securing element in a perspective sectional view.

[0059] Both exemplary embodiments shown are described together below. Components and functional units that are functionally and / or structurally similar or identical are designated by the same reference numerals and are not described separately. For reasons of clarity, not all visible elements are provided with reference numerals in all illustrations of the same exemplary embodiment.

[0060] The figures show a fluidic deflection unit 1 according to the invention, which is suitable for use in the sanitary sector. The fluidic deflection unit 1 has a lower housing part 2, an upper housing part 3 and two hose receptacles 4, wherein at least one respective upper section 5 of the hose receptacles 4 is formed on the upper housing part 3 and a connecting channel 6 connecting the hose receptacles 4 is formed on the lower housing part 2. The connecting channel 6 forms a deflection section 7, which realizes a fluidic deflection, namely a fluidic reversal of direction. The upper housing part 3 further has securing elements 8 for a hose 9 that can be inserted into one of the hose receptacles 4. Two hoses 9 are shown in each figure, specifically one hose 9 in each hose receptacle 4. These hoses 9 are optional.The securing elements 8 are accommodated at least in one axial section 10 in a common interior space 11 of the lower housing part 2.

[0061] The upper housing part 3 at least partially surrounds the lower housing part 2 on the outer circumference, at least in an upper housing part section 12. Furthermore, the upper housing part 3 delimits the common interior space 11 of the lower housing part 2 in the axial direction 13.

[0062] In the common interior space 11 of the housing base 2, a support member 14 is also provided, acting in both hose receptacles 4, for axially guiding the hose 9 that can be inserted into one of the hose receptacles 4. The support member 14 is also designed to absorb transverse forces acting on the hose 9 that can be inserted into the hose receptacles 4. A further support member 14 is arranged in the axial direction 13 below sealing elements 21 and delimits the connecting channel 6.

[0063] The upper housing part 3 is connected to the lower housing part 2 in a force-locking and form-locking manner, namely by locking. This is particularly important in Fig. 6. The upper housing part 3 further has receiving openings 15 for the hose 9 and for the securing elements 8. The hose 9 is arranged within a respective securing element 8, so that both the hose 9 and the securing element 8 are located in a respective receiving opening 15 of the upper housing part 3.

[0064] The securing elements 8 are designed to be self-locking and self-clawing to prevent the hose 2 from being pulled out. The securing elements 8 can be connected to the upper housing part 3 in a force-locking and form-locking manner. This is particularly important in Fig. 6 can be seen. The securing elements 8 furthermore completely enclose the hose 2, which can be inserted or is inserted into the respective associated hose receptacle 4, in at least one axial section 16 on the circumference.

[0065] The support part 14 has contact surfaces 18, which run parallel to a respective longitudinal axis 17 of the hose receptacles 4 and describe a lateral surface of a cylinder, for the respective hose 9 which can be inserted into the respective hose receptacle 4.

[0066] The hose receptacles 4 are fluidically connected to one another in at least one axial section 19 beyond the connecting channel 6. The hose receptacles 4, on the one hand, and the connecting channel 6, on the other, are arranged such that they can be separated by a plane 20.

[0067] At least one sealing element 21 acting in both hose receptacles 4 at least partially fills the fluidic connection 22. The fluidic connection 22 exists between the hose receptacles 4 and can enclose the connecting channel 6. After inserting the sealing element 21, the fluidic connection 22 is at least partially filled. The sealing element 21 consists of two interconnected rings. The sealing element 21 is arranged adjacent to the support part 14. The embodiment from the Fig. 1 to 3 differs from that in the Fig. 4 to 6 at least in that the support part 14 in the embodiment of the Fig. 1 to 3 in the axial direction 13 above two sealing elements 21, while the support part 14 in the embodiment of the Fig. 4 to 6 is arranged between two sealing elements 21. A support part 14 placed between two sealing elements 21 has the advantage that clamping forces introduced into a hose 9 by the sealing elements 21 cannot add up within a small area, but are introduced into the hose 9 independently of one another.

[0068] The Fig. The top view shown in Figure 3 is practically identical for both embodiments of fluidic deflection units 1. After inserting all hoses 9, support members 14, and sealing elements 21, the fluidic connection 22 is filled except for the connecting channel 6.

[0069] The hose receptacles 4 are fluidically connected to one another along their entire length in the axial direction 13. This particularly applies to the state of the fluidic deflection unit 1 in which a sealing element 21 and / or a support part 14 have not yet been inserted into the housing lower part 2. The fluidic connection 22, which fluidically connects the hose receptacles 4, and the connecting channel 6 form the common interior space 11 of the housing lower part 2.

[0070] Respective longitudinal axes 17 of the hose receptacles 4 are aligned parallel and even congruent with respective longitudinal axes 17 of openings 23 at the ends of the connecting channel 6. The housing lower part 2 has at least one, namely three, reinforcing ribs 25 on the outside, extending transversely to an insertion direction 24 of a hose, namely the hoses 9.

[0071] In Fig. 6 shows the mode of operation of the securing element 8 in more detail. Fig. 7 shows the fluidic deflection unit 1 from the Fig. 4 to 6 with the fully illustrated securing element 8. The securing element 8 is in Fig. 8 as a whole and in Fig. 9 shown in section.

[0072] The securing elements (8) have projections 28, which enable a force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection of the securing elements 8 to the upper housing part 3. Furthermore, the securing elements 8 have internal claws 29, which enable a force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection of the securing elements 8 to the insertable hose 9.

[0073] The upper housing part 3 has a hold-down device 26 for the securing elements 8, wherein the lower housing part 2 has an abutment 27 for the hold-down device 26.

[0074] The projections 28 are a section of enlarged diameter at the lower end of the securing element 8. When the securing element 8 is inserted into the upper housing part 3 and the hose 9 is inserted into the securing element 8, a pull on the hose 9 causes the securing element 8 to move. The projection 28 slides at an incline onto a slope of the hold-down device 26, whereby the hold-down device 26 would be pressed outwards. The abutment 27 of the lower housing part 2 prevents the hold-down device 26 from moving outwards, so that instead the projection 28 of the securing element 8 is pressed inwards. The claw 29 is pressed into the hose 9. This prevents the hose 9 from being pulled out. However, it can be pulled out if the securing element 8 is pressed down or at least held in position.This prevents the claw 29 from digging into the hose 9, allowing the hose 9 to be pulled out. This locking action by the locking element 8 occurs automatically when a hose 9 is inserted into the locking element 8.

[0075] The fluidic deflection unit 1 according to the invention shown in the figures enables the inventive use of a hose 9 for interrupting a fluidic connection 22 in a fluidic deflection unit 1 according to the invention, wherein the hose 9 is inserted into a hose receptacle 4 into which the fluidic connection 22 opens, wherein the connecting channel 6 remains open.

[0076] A fluidic deflection unit 1 is thus proposed, in particular for use in the sanitary sector, with a lower housing part 2, an upper housing part 3 and two hose receptacles 4, wherein at least one respective upper section 5 of the hose receptacles 4 is formed on the upper housing part 3 and a connecting channel 6 fluidically connecting the hose receptacles 4 is formed on the lower housing part 2, wherein the upper housing part 3 has securing elements 8 for a hose 9 which can be inserted into one of the hose receptacles 4 and wherein the securing elements 8 are received at least in one axial section 10 in a common interior space 11 of the lower housing part 2.

[0077] Furthermore, the use of a hose 9 for interrupting a fluidic connection 22 in a fluidic deflection unit 1 according to the invention is proposed, wherein the hose 9 is inserted into a hose receptacle 4 into which the fluidic connection 22 opens, in particular wherein the connecting channel 6 remains open.
