TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a sanitary arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 as well as a system according to claim 13 and a method according to claim 15. STATE OF THE ART
[0002] EP 3 546 664 discloses a sanitary article comprising a diaphragm element arranged in a drain opening. The diaphragm element is adjustably mounted on a bearing element inserted into the drain opening. Three adjustable bearing points are provided for adjustment, allowing the position of the diaphragm element relative to the drain opening to be determined.
[0003] The adjustability of the position of a panel element has proven to be very important, especially considering the large dimensional tolerances that arise in the manufacture of ceramic sanitary ware. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Based on this prior art, the invention is based on the object of providing a sanitary arrangement, in particular a washbasin arrangement, that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide an alternative adjustment option.
[0005] This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Accordingly, a sanitary arrangement, in particular a washbasin arrangement, comprises a sanitary article with a water basin, a cavity and a drain passage which extends from the water basin into the cavity, a cover element which is inserted into the drain passage and at least partially covers the drain passage, and a bearing element which projects from the cavity into the drain passage for supporting the cover element. At least one adjustment element for adjusting the position of the cover element in the drain passage is arranged on the bearing element. The cover element can be aligned in the drain passage via the at least one adjustment element. The adjustment element defines a central axis. The central axis is a reference axis for the adjustment movements.The adjustment element has an eccentric element with a stop surface running eccentrically around the central axis for adjusting the position of the diaphragm element transversely to the central axis. The eccentric stop surface is in contact with a first stop surface on the diaphragm element, wherein the eccentric element can be pivoted about the central axis in such a way that, depending on the position of the eccentric element, the position of the contact point between the eccentric stop surface and the first stop surface can be adjusted, so that the height of the diaphragm element in the drain passage can be adjusted. The eccentric element can therefore be used to adjust the height of the diaphragm element in the drain passage. The height is to be understood as essentially vertical when viewed in the installed position.To adjust the position of the diaphragm element along the central axis, the diaphragm element has a stop element that can be moved along the central axis and has a stop surface on the stop element side. The stop surface on the stop element side contacts a second stop surface on the diaphragm element such that, depending on the position of the stop element, the position of the contact point between the stop surface on the stop element side and the second stop surface can be adjusted. The stop element can be used to adjust the depth of the diaphragm element in the drain passage. The depth position is oriented transversely to the height position.
[0006] The arrangement of the eccentric element and the stop element creates a structurally simple bearing structure, allowing adjustment of the height and depth of the cover element in the drain passage. The eccentric element also offers the advantage of providing easy adjustment, as the eccentric element can be adjusted with a single rotation around its own axis. This single rotation allows all necessary height adjustment positions to be achieved.
[0007] The central axis extends from the cavity into the drainage passage.
[0008] The sanitary item is preferably a washbasin. However, it can also be a shower drain or another sanitary item.
[0009] Preferably, said stop surfaces are located in front of a front side of the bearing element, which front side faces the drainage passage. Furthermore, the eccentric element and the adjustment element can be actuated from a rear side of the bearing element, which rear side faces the cavity.
[0010] The advantage of operating from the cavity side is that the eccentric element and the adjustment element can no longer be operated when the sanitary article is installed, because the accessibility of said elements for their adjustment is prevented.
[0011] This design allows the position of the panel element to be adjusted at the factory and prevents a user from intentionally or unintentionally adjusting the position of the stops during cleaning work in which the panel element is removed.
[0012] Preferably, the bearing element has a passage through which sections of the eccentric element and sections of the stop element pass. The arrangement further comprises sealing elements arranged such that no water can pass from the front to the rear through the openings.
[0013] Particularly preferably, the bearing element is designed such that it extends over the entire clear width of the drainage passage and is thus designed as a drainage element. In this case, the bearing element has at least the drainage opening mentioned below. The wastewater flows from the water basin through the drainage passage and then into the drainage opening, from where the wastewater is then directed into a drainage pipe.
[0014] Preferably, the eccentric element is in an initial position against a stop and can be pivoted away from this stop, wherein the maximum pivot angle is preferably a maximum of 180°.
[0015] Preferably, the baffle element has a comb portion that is positioned against a base surface of the drain passage. The comb portion serves to catch hair and other foreign objects before or shortly after entering the drain passage, allowing them to be easily removed during cleaning.
[0016] The cover element is therefore located between the base surface and the eccentric stop surface, thus holding it in the drain passage. In other words, the cover is supported by the contact between the cover element, specifically the comb section mentioned below, and the base surface of the sanitary ware. Due to the cover's own weight, it tilts forward toward the basin, thereby raising the stop surface of the cover up to the stop surface of the eccentric element. The eccentric element holds the cover down. In other words, the eccentric element ensures that the cover element is kept in contact with the base surface.
[0017] Particularly preferably, the diaphragm element is formed in two parts, comprising a front element and a comb element having the comb section. The front element and the comb element are connected via a longitudinal guide such that the front element and the comb element are displaceable relative to one another in the direction of the longitudinal guide.
[0018] Preferably, the longitudinal guide extends transversely to the central axis so that the front element, which is visible from the water basin, can be aligned laterally.
[0019] Preferably, the aperture element is fixed to the second stop surface via a magnetic holding force.
[0020] Preferably, the aperture element has a magnet and the stop element is made of a ferromagnetic material, such as steel.
[0021] Preferably, the aperture element is made of plastic and the magnet is embedded in the plastic so that the magnet is completely surrounded by the aperture element.
[0022] Preferably, the eccentric element is pivotable via a first screw, wherein the first screw has a tool receiving structure which is accessible from the rear side of the bearing element.
[0023] Preferably, the first screw engages with an external thread into a bearing located on the eccentric element, with a sliding element arranged between the external thread and the bearing. The sliding element is designed such that upon reaching an end position, the sliding element slips through in such a way that further rotation of the screw does not cause further rotation of the eccentric element. Rather, the screw fixes the set position of the eccentric element.
[0024] Preferably, the first screw has a screw head, wherein a seal is arranged between the screw head and the rear side of the bearing element.
[0025] Preferably, the second stop surface is provided by a front surface of a second screw, wherein the second screw has a tool-receiving structure accessible from the rear side of the bearing element. The tool-receiving structure is preferably a hexagon socket.
[0026] Preferably, the second screw is mounted with its external thread in an internal thread in the first screw. A sealing layer is preferably applied to the external thread and / or the internal thread. The sealing layer provides one of the above-mentioned sealing elements.
[0027] The arrangement of the second screw in the first screw provides the advantage of a compact design.
[0028] The internal thread of the first screw extends completely through the first screw, so that the second screw can protrude from the first screw with its stop surface opposite the screw head of the first screw.
[0029] Preferably, two of said adjustment elements are arranged at a distance from each other on the bearing element. The adjustment elements act on corresponding stop surfaces on the panel element.
[0030] Preferably, the bearing element further comprises a discharge opening that can be closed and opened with a closure member. The closure member is, for example, a valve tappet or a valve flap.
[0031] Preferably, the bearing element further comprises an overflow channel with an overflow edge. The overflow channel is located essentially in the rear area of the bearing element and is accessible via an overflow opening in the bearing element.
[0032] A system comprises a plumbing assembly as described above and an adjustment gauge. The adjustment gauge is insertable into the drain passage, with the eccentric element and the stop element being movable onto corresponding adjustment surfaces on the adjustment gauge such that the position of the eccentric element and the stop element can be adjusted for the aligned mounting of the cover element. The adjustment gauge is used only for adjusting the eccentric element and the stop element and can be removed again after adjustment.
[0033] Preferably, the setting gauge has an upper stop surface for abutment against the wall of the sanitary article, which extends upwards from the drain passage, and a lower stop surface for abutment against a base surface of the drain passage.
[0034] A method for adjusting a diaphragm element on a sanitary article according to the above description is characterized in that in a first step an adjustment gauge is inserted into the drain passage, in a second step the eccentric element and the stop element are moved onto corresponding adjustment surfaces on the adjustment gauge, in a third step the adjustment gauge is removed from the drain passage, and in a fourth step the diaphragm element is inserted into the drain passage.
[0035] Further embodiments are specified in the dependent claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0037] The figures show a sanitary arrangement according to the invention. In the embodiment shown, the sanitary arrangement is a washbasin arrangement. The sanitary arrangement comprises a sanitary article 1, a panel element 5, and a bearing element 6 for supporting the panel element 5.
[0038] The sanitary article 1, as mentioned, is designed in the shape of a washbasin and comprises a water basin 2, a cavity 3, and a drainage passage 4. The drainage passage 4 extends from the water basin 2 to the cavity 3. In another embodiment, it would also be conceivable for the sanitary article 1 to be a shower surface or a shower tray, wherein the water basin 2 is essentially provided by the shower surface or the shower tray, and the cavity is typically located behind a false wall. The drainage passage would then extend through the false wall.
[0039] The cover element 5 can be inserted into the drain passage 4 and, when inserted, conceals the drain passage 4. This concealment ensures that a user cannot see through the drain passage 4 into the cavity 3. A visually appealing concealment of the drain passage 4 can be achieved.
[0040] In the Figures 2 and 3The bearing element 6 is shown. The bearing element 6 lies essentially in the cavity 3 and partially protrudes into the drainage passage 4. The bearing element 6 has at least one adjustment element 7. In the embodiment shown, two adjustment elements 7 are arranged at a distance from one another. The adjustment elements 7 serve to adjust the position of the diaphragm element 5 in the drainage passage 4. Each of the adjustment elements 7 defines a central axis M.
[0041] In the embodiment shown, a drainage opening 34 is located between the two adjustment elements 7, which can be closed or opened with a closure member 35. Furthermore, the bearing element 6 comprises an overflow channel 36. The overflow channel 36 has an overflow edge 37 and is accessible via an overflow opening 44. The overflow opening is located laterally to one adjustment element 7.
[0042] Of the Figure 2It can be seen that the adjustment element 7 for adjusting the position of the diaphragm element 5 transversely to the central axis M has an eccentric element 8 with a stop surface 9 running eccentrically around the central axis M. The eccentric stop surface 9 is in contact with a first stop surface 10 on the diaphragm element 5. The height of the diaphragm element 5 can be adjusted accordingly via this contact. The eccentric element 8 is pivotable about the central axis M in such a way that, depending on the position of the eccentric element 8, the position of the contact point 11 between the eccentric stop surface 9 and the first stop surface 10 can be adjusted, so that, as mentioned, the height of the diaphragm element 5 in the drainage passage 4 can be adjusted. The contact point 11 between the eccentric stop surface 9 and the first stop surface 10 is Figures 4a and 4bvisible. Here, it can be clearly seen how the eccentrically extending stop surface 9 acts on the first stop surface 10. In the embodiment shown, the eccentrically extending stop surface 9 is located above the first stop surface 10, whereby the diaphragm element 5 can be moved against a base surface 22 of the drain passage 4.
[0043] Furthermore, the adjustment element 7 for adjusting the position of the diaphragm element 5 in the direction of the central axis M has a stop element 12 that can be moved in the direction of the central axis M and has a stop surface 13 on the stop element side. The stop surface 13 is movable in the direction of the central axis M onto the diaphragm element 5. The stop surface 13 on the stop element side is in contact with a second stop surface 14 on the diaphragm element 5. The contact is such that, depending on the position of the stop element 12, the position of the contact point between the stop surface 13 on the stop element side and the second stop surface 14 is adjustable.
[0044] Of the Figures 2 and 3It is further evident that the aforementioned stop surfaces 9, 13 on the side of the adjusting element 7 and the aforementioned stop surfaces 10, 14 on the side of the cover element 5 are located in front of a front side 15 of the bearing element 6. The front side 15 is the side that is visible to the user from the drain passage 4 when the cover element 5 is not inserted. Furthermore, the eccentric element 8 and the adjusting element 7 can be actuated from a rear side 16 of the bearing element 6. The rear side 16 faces the cavity 3.
[0045] Based on the Figure 4b The effect of the movement of the eccentric element 8 and the stop element 12 is now explained.
[0046] When the eccentric element 8 moves, its stop surface 10 moves upwards or downwards perpendicular to the central axis. This also moves the contact point 11 upwards or downwards, and the height of the aperture element 5 is aligned in the drainage passage 4.
[0047] In the Figure 5 a perspective sectional view without the panel element 5 is shown. In the Figure 6 a perspective sectional view with the panel element 5 is shown. Figure 6 The contact points 11 and 45 are clearly visible. It is also clearly visible that the first stop surface 10 and the second stop surface 14 on the panel element 5 are essentially at right angles to each other.
[0048] When the stop element 12 moves, its stop surface 13 is moved in the direction of the central axis M, in the Figure 4ato the left and right. As a result, the contact point 45 also moves in the direction of the central axis M and the depth of the diaphragm element 5 in the drainage passage 4 can be adjusted. When adjusting the depth, a front surface of the diaphragm element 5, which is oriented towards the water basin 2, is aligned with the side surfaces of the water basin 2. From the various sectional views, such as the views of the Figures 4b , 5 and 6 It can also be seen that the bearing element 6 has a passage 17 for each of the adjustment elements 7. Through the passage 17, sections of the
[0049] stop element 12. The arrangement comprises sealing elements 18, 19, which are arranged such that no water can pass from the front side 15 to the rear side 16.
[0050] A first sealing element 18 is arranged between a screw head of a first screw 25, which acts on the eccentric element 8 as described below, and the rear side 16 of the bearing element 6. The sealing element 18 has the shape of an O-ring.
[0051] A second sealing element 19 is arranged between an internal thread of the first screw 25 and an external thread of a second screw 30. Either the internal thread or the external thread is provided with a sealing coating, such as a plastic coating. The second screw 30 has the second stop surface 14, as described below.
[0052] The eccentric element 8 is in a starting position, as in the Figure 2 shown, at a stop 20. The eccentric element 8 can be pivoted from this stop 20. The maximum pivot angle is preferably 180°. Other pivot angles are also conceivable.
[0053] From the sectional view of the Figure 4a It is shown that the aperture element 5 has a comb section 21. The comb section 21 rests against the base surface 22 of the drainage passage 4. The comb section 21 comprises several comb webs through which the water can flow.
[0054] The diaphragm element 5 is preferably formed in two parts, comprising a front element 23 and a comb element 24 having the comb section 21. The front element 23 and the comb element 24 are connected to one another via a longitudinal guide. The longitudinal guide is such that the front element 23 and the comb element 24 are displaceable relative to one another in the direction of the longitudinal guide. This longitudinal guide allows the position of the front element 23 in the discharge passage 4 to be aligned in a further direction.
[0055] In the Figures 5 and 6It is shown that the eccentric element 8 can be pivoted via the above-mentioned first screw 25. The first screw 25 has a tool holding structure 26 which is accessible from the rear side 16 of the bearing element 6. The tool holding structure 26 here has the shape of a hexagon socket. The first screw 25 engages in the eccentric element 8. The first screw 25 has an external thread 27 which engages in a bearing point 28 arranged on the eccentric element 8. A sliding element 29 is arranged between the external thread 27 and the bearing point 28. The sliding element 29 is designed such that when an end position is reached, the sliding element 29 slips through such that further rotation of the screw 25 does not cause any further rotation of the eccentric element 8. The first screw is mounted in a passage 17 of the bearing element 2.
[0056] The second stop surface 13 is provided by the front surface of the second screw 30. The second screw 30 also has a tool receiving structure 31, which is accessible from the rear side 16 of the support element 6. The tool receiving structure 31 has the shape of a hexagon socket. The second screw is mounted with its external thread 32 in an internal thread 33 of the first screw 25. The second screw 30 is shorter than the first screw. Preferably, the cover element 5 is fixed to the second stop surface 13 via a magnetic holding force. For this purpose, a magnet can be embedded in the cover element, which provides the said holding force.
[0057] In the embodiment shown, the bearing element 6 is designed such that the drainage passage 4 toward the cavity 3 is closed, except for the drain opening 34 and the overflow opening 44. The bearing element 6 is supported by a flange portion 46, which is enclosed by a seal 47.
[0058] Based on the Figures 7a to 9b A system comprising the plumbing arrangement as described above will now be explained. The system comprises a plumbing arrangement as described herein and a setting gauge 38. The setting gauge 38 is, as shown in the Figures 7a / 7b shown, can be inserted into the drain passage 4. The eccentric element 8 and the stop element 12 can be moved during an adjustment process onto corresponding adjustment surfaces 39, 40 on the adjustment gauge 38. The movement is such that the position of the eccentric element 8 and the stop element 12 can be adjusted for the aligned mounting of the diaphragm element 5.
[0059] In the Figures 7a / 7bThe initial position is shown. The eccentrically formed stop surface 9 is spaced from the adjustment surface 40. When the first screw 25 is actuated, the eccentric element 8 is pivoted so that the eccentrically formed stop surface 9 comes to rest on the adjustment surface 40. This is shown in the Figures 8a / 8b where it can be clearly seen that the eccentrically designed stop surface 9 lies on the adjustment surface 40. As soon as this position is reached, the sliding element 29 slips through as described above.
[0060] The next step is to adjust the stop element 12. For this purpose, the stop element 12 or the second screw 30 is turned until the second stop surface 14 lies on the adjustment surface 40.
[0061] After adjustment, the adjustment gauge 38 is removed again and the aperture element 5 can be inserted with precision.
[0062] The adjustment gauge 38 has an upper stop surface 41 for abutting against the wall 42 of the sanitary article 1, which extends upwards from the drain passage 4, and a lower stop surface 43 for abutting against the base surface 22 of the drain passage 4. These two stop surfaces 41, 43 are used to position the adjustment gauge 38 relative to the drain passage 4, and the eccentric element 8 and the stop element 12 can then be adjusted.
[0063] A method for adjusting a diaphragm element on a sanitary article is characterized by that in a first step a setting gauge 38 is inserted into the drain passage 4, that in a second step the eccentric element 8 and the stop element 12 are moved onto corresponding setting surfaces 39, 40 on the setting gauge, that in a third step the setting gauge 38 is removed from the drain passage, and that in a fourth step the diaphragm element 5 is inserted into the drain passage 4.
