Sanitary fitting for dispensing treated liquids

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a sanitary fitting for dispensing treated liquids, comprising a first adjusting element for adjusting a quantity of a liquid to be dispensed, and a second adjusting element for adjusting the type of liquid to be dispensed, wherein at least one of the two adjusting elements has a plurality of defined adjusting positions.

[0002] The invention further relates to a sanitary system comprising a sanitary fitting and a treatment device which is connected to the sanitary fitting for providing treated liquid.

[0003] Sanitary fittings have become known in a wide variety of forms. For example, known sanitary fittings comprise a fitting body with at least one actuator for adjusting at least one property of a fluid flow passing through the sanitary fitting. This property can be, for example, the flow rate of the fluid flow or the temperature of the fluid flow. In known sanitary fittings, the fluid flow, for example, is mixed from separate cold water and hot water flows using a mixing device and then directed to an outlet.

[0004] To increase functionality, a sanitary fitting is known from DE 10 2013 000 773 A1 or DE 10 2013 002 236 A1, for example, with at least one first actuating element for adjusting the temperature and / or quantity of mixed water and with at least one second actuating element for adjusting the quantity of hot water. The second actuating element, which enables adjustment of the quantity of hot water, is designed as a rotary selector switch. This must first be turned in a first direction to activate the hot water function. It must then be turned in the opposite direction to the first direction to set the desired quantity of hot water.

[0005] DE 10 2019 210 435 A1 discloses a sanitary fitting for dispensing treated liquids, in particular for beverages, comprising a first adjusting element for adjusting the quantity of treated liquid to be dispensed and an actuating element for providing the quantity of treated liquid adjusted by the first adjusting element. At least one second adjusting element is arranged for selecting a treatment type, in particular from at least two different treatment types, of non-treated liquid. The first and the at least one second adjusting element can be actuated independently of one another. The two adjusting elements have defined adjusting positions, with the type and quantity of treated liquid being permanently assigned to each adjusting position.

[0006] Only a very limited number of possible types and quantities of treated fluids can be selected. This is particularly disadvantageous given the globally varying customer requirements and specifications, for example, regarding the different quantities to be dispensed. Furthermore, this also increases the cost of manufacturing the sanitary fitting, as it must be adapted separately for different countries.

[0007] An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a sanitary fitting and a sanitary system which have increased flexibility with regard to adaptability to different quantities and types of treated liquid, while at the same time being simple to manufacture and offering a high level of user experience.

[0008] In one embodiment, the present invention achieves the above-mentioned objects with a sanitary fitting for dispensing treated liquids, comprising a first adjusting element for adjusting a quantity of a liquid to be dispensed, a second adjusting element for adjusting the type of liquid to be dispensed, wherein at least one of the two adjusting elements has a plurality of defined adjusting positions, and a control device which is connected to the adjusting elements and which is configurable such that a configurable quantity of a type of liquid to be dispensed and / or a configurable type of liquid to be dispensed can be assigned to at least one defined adjusting element position by means of the control device.

[0009] In one embodiment, the present invention achieves the above-mentioned objects with a sanitary system comprising a sanitary fitting according to one of claims 1-9, and a treatment device which is connected to the sanitary fitting for providing treated liquid, in particular wherein the treatment device comprises at least one of the following devices: a filter device for providing a filtered fluid, in particular filtered water, a carbonation device for providing a carbonated fluid, in particular carbonated water, a warming and / or heating device for providing high-temperature fluids, in particular hot water, a cooling device, in particular for providing a cooled fluid, in particular water, an ionization device for ionizing a fluid, in particular water, an enrichment device for enriching the fluid with at least one substance, in particular a mineral, flavoring, coloring or the like, an additional device for adding concentrates, in particular fruit juice concentrates or the like, to a fluid, a hygiene device for providing hygienically treated fluid, in particular for disinfecting a fluid,and / or a cleaning device for providing a cleaning and / or rinsing medium instead of or for adding to a fluid.

[0010] One of the advantages this achieves is that it significantly increases flexibility for both the user and the manufacturer of the sanitary fitting. This allows users to optimally adapt the system to their existing drinking vessels according to their wishes or, for example, to specific quantity specifications. The advantage for the manufacturer is that they can initially pre-configure the sanitary fitting with regard to the quantities to be dispensed, depending on the country in which the sanitary fitting is to be used, without having to make any structural changes to the entire sanitary fitting. A further advantage is the high level of user experience, as users can make their own decisions and program the positions of the control elements with functions such as liquid type or quantity. This also improves usability.

[0011] The term "treated liquid" is to be understood in the broadest sense and refers, in particular in the claims, preferably in the description, to liquids, especially water in the form of tap water from a water supplier or the like, whose properties and / or composition are further modified by a separate device. For example, treated water can have a high temperature, so-called hot water, a different degree of carbonation, a partially different composition, or the like, than the water originally provided by the water supplier. The term "treated liquid" does not, in particular, refer to hot or cold water, which is usually provided by a water supplier to a single-family home, apartment building, or the like and whose temperature may be adjusted by a heating system or the like.

[0012] The term "treatment type" is to be understood in the broadest sense and refers, particularly in the claims and preferably in the description, not only to the basic type of treatment of a liquid, for example, whether the water has been carbonated or not, but also to the degree, intensity, or concentration of the treatment, for example, the intensity of the carbonation. Different treatment types are thus understood to mean, for example, different degrees of carbonation, such as "still," "medium," or "classic." Different treatment types also include different hot water temperatures, different filtered water levels, different concentrations of flavor additives or aromatizations, different mineralization types, and different concentrations of the same mineralization type, or the like.The term "processing type" also includes, in particular, "non-processing".

[0013] Further features, advantages and further embodiments of the invention are described below or will become apparent thereby.

[0014] According to an advantageous development of the invention, at least one of the actuating elements and / or the control device has a wired and / or wireless interface for configuring at least one of the actuating positions. This allows a user to easily and directly configure the actuating positions of the actuating elements with functions, for example, via a Bluetooth connection on their smartphone using a corresponding app.

[0015] According to a further advantageous development of the invention, a display device is arranged for visually and / or acoustically displaying the configuration. The advantage of this is that the user experience is further improved by displaying or providing feedback on various states, error messages, and the like.

[0016] According to a further advantageous development of the invention, an optical sequence in the form of flashing and / or intermittent color display can be provided by the display device for configuring the control device and at least one defined actuator position. One of the advantages achieved is that, for example, the actuator positions can be configured in a manner that is clear to a user.

[0017] According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the control device is designed to store different configurations for different users of the sanitary fitting. This further improves the user experience, as different users of the sanitary fitting can store different profiles, allowing them to always operate the sanitary fitting in the usual way.

[0018] According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the control device has an interface for a user to select a desired configuration. The advantage of this is that the user can access and use their profile quickly and easily. For this purpose, a sensor switch that can be operated by tapping or a mechanical switch can be provided, for example.

[0019] According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the configuration of at least one of the control positions is cloud-based, with the control device having an interface for connection to the internet. One of the advantages achieved is improved user-friendliness and, at the same time, a simple central configuration option for the sanitary fitting by a manufacturer.

[0020] According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the display device is integrated into at least one of the control elements. This allows for overall space savings.

[0021] According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the optical display device is designed in the form of at least one ring. In addition to providing a high visual appeal and better perceptibility for a user of the sanitary fitting, this also improves usability.

[0022] Further important features and advantages of the invention emerge from the subclaims, from the drawings and from the associated description of the figures based on the drawings.

[0023] It is understood that the features mentioned above and those to be explained below can be used not only in the combination specified in each case, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0024] Preferred embodiments and embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and are explained in more detail in the following description, wherein the same reference numerals refer to the same or similar or functionally identical components or elements.

[0025] This shows Figure 1 shows a sanitary fitting in three-dimensional view according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 shows a section of the sanitary fitting according toFigure 1 and Figure 3 shows a sanitary system according to an embodiment of the present invention with a sanitary fitting according to Figure 2 .

[0026] Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional view of a sanitary fitting according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] In detail, Figure 1 a sanitary fitting 1 for kitchens is shown. The sanitary fitting 1 is part of a sanitary system 200 of the Figure 3. The sanitary fitting 1 comprises a cylindrical fitting body 2, on which an actuator unit 3a, 3b is arranged perpendicular to the cylinder axis, i.e. along the axis A, on different sides of the fitting body 2. The first actuator unit 3a serves to adjust a mixed water temperature and a flow rate of a mixed water based on untreated hot and cold water. The first actuator unit 3a comprises a single-lever mixing device 8. By means of the second actuator unit 3b, which is shown in the following Figure 2 As described in more detail, a quantity and treatment type for treated water can be set and a dispensing of the treated quantity of water can be triggered.

[0028] A water outlet 5, which can be supplied with mixed water, is pivotably mounted on the fitting body 2 via an outlet arm 4. Furthermore, the water outlet 5 is connected to a support arm 6 via a detachable connection 56, wherein the support arm 6 is in turn pivotably mounted on the fitting body 2 parallel to the cylinder axis of the fitting body 2. The detachable connection 56 can be effected, for example, by a magnetic force. A further water outlet 7 is arranged on the underside of the support arm 6, through which treated water, which can be adjusted using the second actuator unit 3b, can be dispensed.

[0029] Figure 2 shows a three-dimensional section of the sanitary fitting according to Figure 1 and Figure 3 a sanitary system according to an embodiment of the present invention with a sanitary fitting according to Figure 2 .

[0030] In Figure 2, the second actuator unit 3b is essentially shown in detail. The second actuator unit 3b comprises a first actuator element 300 in the form of a ring rotatable about an axis A, which is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical fitting body 2. The first actuator element 300 serves to adjust the desired quantity of treated water. For this purpose, the first actuator element 300 can have visually and haptically perceptible elevations in the form of radial projections for defining different setting positions.

[0031] Along the axis A in Figure 2To the right of the first actuating element 300 there is a display device 301 and, in turn, to the right of this a marking 303 which indicates the actuating position of the first actuating element 300. On the other hand, the marking 303 can also be designed as a second display device alongside a first display device 301. The first display device 301 is arranged on the right side of the first actuating element 300 and on the left side of the marking 303 and is of annular design. The first display device 301 comprises a total of 18 separately controllable optical elements in the form of multi-colored LEDs. By means of the first display device 301, on the one hand, different colored representations can be displayed, for example at least the colors red, white, green, yellow and / or orange or the like, and on the other hand, different colors can be displayed simultaneously, for example the colors red and white, each alternating in the circumferential direction.The second display device 303 can also display various luminous colors, in particular the colors red and blue. Each of the two display devices 301, 303 can also display the color intermittently, in other words, provide a flashing of the respective color. The first display device 301 can thus also display temporal sequences, for example, a circumferentially moving display of a red dot, band, section, or the like. The display devices 301, 303 can alternatively or additionally also provide acoustic signals, for example, an intermittent beep or the like.

[0032] Furthermore, the second actuator unit 3b has a second actuating element 302, which is also ring-shaped and arranged to the left of the first actuating element 300. The second actuating element 302, like the first actuating element 300, has a knurling on its outer circumference to facilitate gripping by a user. The second actuating element 302 is, on the one hand, rotatable with directions of rotation R3, R4 about the axis A, and, on the other hand, it is also arranged to be movable in the axial direction R1, R2 along the axis A. On the surface of the second actuating element 302 perpendicular to the axis A, a circular surface (not shown) with an actuating element 305 is arranged. The dispensing of treated water is triggered by the actuating element 305. The actuating element 305 can be designed to be actuated contactlessly or by touch.The actuating element 305 can be designed in the form of an infrared sensor, so that the actuating element 305 is triggered when the surface is touched.

[0033] The second adjusting element 302 can be moved into different locking positions by turning it in the direction R4. Turning it in the opposite direction R3 can be permitted, but it can also be prohibited, so that a user can only turn the second adjusting element 302 further in the direction R4. The second adjusting element 302 is used to select the desired type of treated water. For this purpose, the second adjusting element 302 can have visually and haptically perceptible elevations in the form of radial projections to define different setting positions.

[0034] The operation of the sanitary fitting 1 will now be explained in detail. For this purpose, the sanitary fitting 1 is initially in the idle state / standby mode. This can be configured such that, when the actuating element 305 is actuated in standby mode, mixed water, in this case unfiltered tap water, is dispensed via the water outlet 5. Additional actuation of the second actuating element 302 is not required.

[0035] While the mixed water is being dispensed, a running indicator is displayed using nine LEDs – half a ring – moving forward (clockwise when viewed from the surface along axis A). Nine LEDs light up simultaneously at a time; the last LED is not activated, and the next LED is activated. The speed of the sequence is selected so that half the ring completes one rotation in 2 seconds.

[0036] If the actuating element 305 is actuated again during mixed water dispensing, the mixed water dispensing is interrupted. If the actuating element 305 is not actuated again during mixed water dispensing, the mixed water dispenses for 20 seconds and then stops. The value of 20 seconds can be set or changed, for example, via a corresponding app.

[0037] If the second control element 302 is actuated during mixed water dispensing, no action occurs. If the first control element 300 is actuated during mixed water dispensing, the dispensing of mixed water continues and / or stops after the set amount of mixed water has been dispensed. After dispensing, the sanitary fitting 1 switches to standby mode or, if applicable, to the corresponding mode specified by the second control element 302.

[0038] If the first control element 300 is set to a predefined quantity, here "0," i.e., to a specific predefined or predeterminable quantity associated with shutting off the sanitary fitting 1, the sanitary fitting 1 is shut off. The display device 301 is thus switched off, and the first control element 300 and the second control element 302 are deactivated, so that when actuated, none of the water types and no mixed water are dispensed. Likewise, no errors or any cleaning program that may already be running are displayed by the display device. If the cleaning program was started before shutting off, it will continue until its regular completion; however, no display is shown by the display device 301. Mixed water can still be drawn independently using the mixing device 8 on the right side of the sanitary fitting 1.

[0039] Figure 3shows in detail a sanitary system 200 comprising a sanitary fitting 1 according to the Figures 1 and 2 as well as a treatment device 201 and a control device 100. Specifically, a filter device 106 is provided, which is connected to a cold water line 21b for supplying cold water. Filtered water can then be provided by the filter device 106 via a line 20c connected to a processing device 103 and via a line 20 connected to the water outlet 7. The control device 100 is connected to the processing device 103 by wires or wirelessly to control it. However, the processing device 103 can also be integrated into the control device 100.

[0040] The processing device 103 may, for example, comprise: the above-mentioned filter device 106, a carbonation device for providing a carbonated fluid, in particular carbonated water, a warming and / or heating device for providing fluids at high temperatures, in particular hot water, a cooling device, in particular for providing a cooled fluid, in particular water, an ionization device for ionizing a fluid, in particular water, an enrichment device for enriching the fluid with at least one substance, in particular a mineral, flavoring, coloring or the like, an additional device for adding concentrates, in particular fruit juice concentrates or the like, to a fluid, a hygiene device for providing hygienically treated fluid, in particular for disinfecting a fluid, and / or a cleaning device for providing a cleaning and / or rinsing medium instead of or for adding to a fluid.

[0041] The control device 100 has an electronic controller and is connected via a signal line 130 to the two control elements 300, 302, the display device 301, and the actuating element 305 for the corresponding control or actuation thereof. The control device 100 is further connected to a power supply 102 for its operation. Treated liquid, for example, filtered water here, or, if a hot water system is provided, hot water, can be dispensed via the line 20 through the water outlet 7. The hot water line 21a and the cold water line 21b are connected via the first actuator unit 3a to a mixer cartridge and further to the first water outlet 5, via which mixed water at the appropriate temperature can be dispensed.

[0042] If the first control element 300 is set to "0", the components of the processing device 201, for example the heating device, continue to operate.

[0043] The water types and quantities are assigned directly on the control device 100, which may have a screen for this purpose, or via an app. For this purpose, the control device 100 has a display 120 and / or an interface 150 for configuring the individual setting positions of the second control element 302 and the individual positions of the first control element 300, or is connected to such. The configuration can be carried out, for example, via the interface 150, which is designed to be wireless, using a smartphone app, for example via WLAN or Bluetooth. The configuration can also be cloud-based. Using a profile stored on the Internet, a user can configure corresponding positions, which are then transmitted to the control device 100 via the interface 150 via an Internet connection.

[0044] If the second control element 302 and subsequently the actuating element 305 are actuated, the set water type and quantity are dispensed. While the water is being dispensed, a running indicator is displayed using nine LEDs – i.e., half a ring – moving forward (clockwise when viewed along axis A, as seen from the surface). Nine LEDs always light up simultaneously; the last LED is not actuated, and the next LED is actuated. The speed of the sequence is selected so that half the ring completes one rotation in 2 seconds.

[0045] If, for example, the selection "boiling water" is stored for one of the specific positions, one of the display elements of the display device 301 lights up red. However, a safety device must first be overcome by pressing and turning the second actuating element 302 by a predetermined angle before the hot water can be dispensed by the actuating element 305. If the actuating element 305 is actuated again during hot water dispensing, the hot water dispensing is interrupted. If the second actuating element 302 is actuated during hot water dispensing, the hot water is dispensed in the selected amount. If the first actuating element 300 is actuated during hot water dispensing, the dispensing is also terminated after the selected amount has been dispensed. However, the sanitary fitting 1 switches to standby mode after dispensing or, if applicable, to the corresponding mode specified by the second actuating element 302.

[0046] In order to dispense or tap hot water, a safety barrier must be overcome, as already mentioned above. To select boiling hot water, the second control element 302 must be pressed toward the first control element 301 along axis A and rotated backward by at least 80°. Haptic feedback, particularly via a ratchet, informs the user of the correct, i.e., sufficient, angle of rotation. This hot water mode is indicated by the red color of all display elements of the display device 301.

[0047] After the hot water mode has been activated, the entire display device 301 goes out after one second, and only a red illuminated display element remains visible at the position of the marking 303. The selected quantity can then optionally be changed by rotating the first control element 300.

[0048] Touching the actuating element 305, particularly in the form of an infrared sensor, generally triggers the respective water dispensing. Pressing it again stops the water dispensing, even if the set amount has not yet been reached. While the water is being dispensed, a running indicator is displayed using nine LEDs—i.e., half a ring—moving forward (clockwise when viewed along axis A, as seen from the surface). Nine LEDs always light up simultaneously; the last LED is not activated, and the next LED is activated. The speed of the sequence is selected so that half the ring completes one rotation in 2 seconds.

[0049] To indicate the status of the filter device 106, in standby mode, if the remaining filter running time of the filter device 106 of the sanitary system 200 is below a predeterminable threshold value, a display element lights up yellow permanently below the white display element.

[0050] The yellow indicator element only goes out when selecting the water type, when the entire display is illuminated, when an error is active and the entire display is pulsing red, the fitting is switched off, or the cleaning program is running.

[0051] In the standby mode of the sanitary fitting 1, if the remaining filter life is below a preset threshold and if the CO2 pressure sensor detects less than a preset pressure value, for example below 3 bar, a display element lights up permanently red below the white display element.

[0052] The red indicator element only goes out when selecting the water type, when the entire display is illuminated, when an error is active and the entire display is pulsing red, the fitting is switched off, or the cleaning program is running.

[0053] If a cleaning program has been started via the display 120 of the control unit 100 or via the app, a progress indicator is displayed using nine yellow illuminated display elements, here in the form of LEDs – i.e., half a ring – facing forward (clockwise when viewed along axis A, when viewed from the surface). Nine LEDs always light up simultaneously; the last LED is not activated, and the next LED is activated. The speed of the sequence is selected so that half the ring completes one complete rotation in 2 seconds.

[0054] If the user needs to take action during the cleaning program, for example, replacing or removing a cleaning cartridge, all indicator elements of the display unit will pulse yellow, and the action to be performed will be visualized on the display 120 of the control unit 100 or via the app. If the cleaning program continues, a progress indicator is shown using nine yellow illuminated indicator elements as described above. After the cleaning program is completed, the sanitary system 200 returns to standby mode.

[0055] If an error has occurred in the sanitary system 200 or a control menu is activated on the display 120 of the control device 100, the entire LED ring pulses red; the sanitary system 200 is now in error mode. In this case, no further settings can be made using the two control elements 300, 302, and the actuating element 305 is deactivated. Error mode interrupts any other state and interrupts all processes; active water delivery is aborted in the event of an error or activation of the menu on the display. An active error during the cleaning program temporarily shuts down the sanitary system.

[0056] If the second actuating element 302 is actuated in the standby state, all display elements of the display device 301 show the corresponding color according to the desired treatment type, and the type of treated water can be selected. If the second actuating element 302 is turned forward (clockwise from the actuating element), the water type changes the color of the display device 301 from green, light blue to blue with each click. Green stands for still water, light blue for medium sparkling water, and blue for classic sparkling water. When turned in the other direction, this happens in the reverse order. After the actuating element 305 is actuated, the entire display device 301 lights up in the selected color for 1 second. After this second, only one LED at the marking 303 is displayed in the selected color.

[0057] To select the "Classic Sparkling" water type and dispense the corresponding amount, proceed as follows: After the "Classic Sparkling" water type has been selected using the second control element 302, the entire LED ring goes out, and only a display element in the color of the desired water type remains illuminated at the point—here, blue—where the selected amount is set. Using the first control element 300, the selected amount can then optionally be changed by turning it. For example, thirteen predefined or preset amount settings are available (between 100 and 1000 ml). In addition, four additional freely configurable water amounts can be provided.

[0058] Touching the actuating element 305 triggers water dispensing. As long as the desired amount of water is being dispensed, a running indicator is displayed using nine LEDs – i.e., half a ring – as described above. Nine LEDs always light up simultaneously; the last LED is not activated, and the next LED is activated. The speed of the sequence is selected so that half the ring completes one rotation in 2 seconds.

[0059] After the desired water has been dispensed, the sanitary fitting 1 remains in the selected setting for 5 seconds, and an indicator element of the display device 301 lights up in the corresponding color. The water can now be dispensed again or the settings can be changed, for example, the volume. After the specified period of time has elapsed (here 5 seconds), the sanitary fitting 1 returns to standby mode. In standby mode, one indicator element of the display device 301 lights up white again.

[0060] In summary, at least one of the embodiments of the invention has at least one of the following advantages: Excellent user experience. High flexibility regarding the individual configuration of the sanitary fitting. Easy manufacturing and implementation. Reliable selection of treated water and error indication.
