Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a quick switch for a sanitary fixture device. [Background technology]

[0002] In order to save water, many people take a shower when bathing. In the prior art, a sanitary installation in the form of a shower device has a water discharge device, which may in particular be a sprinkler head mounted on the wall or a movable lotus-type shower head that can be used manually by the user. In addition, the shower device usually also has a switch located on the wall separately from the water discharge device, which can control the water discharge device, i.e. whether to spray water or not.

[0003] However, many people close their eyes when showering to avoid water getting into their eyes, which may lead to eye discomfort. Therefore, users cannot see the location of the switch to open or close the water discharge device, and have to use both hands to find the switch location. This is not only inconvenient, but also poses the risk of users accidentally coming into contact with the hot and cold water regulator and being burned.

[0004] Sanitary installation devices are known, for example in the form of shower devices, wash basins, operating devices, bathtubs and / or bathing devices. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In view of the above technical shortcomings and deficiencies, the present invention provides a quick switch disposed between a water discharge device and a water supply pipe, which can switch water flow, so that a user can control the opening and / or closing and / or other switching states of the water discharge device by directly sliding the water discharge device.

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is a quick switch for a sanitary equipment device, which is formed to connect a water source and a water discharge device, the quick switch comprising: A tube, a water inlet end configured for connection to a water source; a water outlet end configured to connect to a water discharge device, the water outlet end and the water inlet end being movable toward or away from each other; a press portion disposed at the water outlet end and moving together with the water outlet end; A tube having The object of the present invention is to provide a quick switch having a valve body that is arranged in a pipe body and that realizes at least two fluid switching states between a water inlet end and a water outlet end, for example a valve body that can block or connect the water inlet end and the water outlet end, the valve body including a switching element, and a pressing part of the pipe body can press the switching element of the valve body by bringing the water inlet end and the water outlet end closer to each other, thereby forming a quick switch that can be switched to selectively adjust one of the at least two fluid switching states between the water inlet end and the water outlet end, in particular to block the connection between the water inlet end and the water outlet end or to connect the water inlet end and the water outlet end.

[0007] The advantage of the present invention is that the valve body is arranged in the pipe body and can block or connect the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the pipe body; the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the pipe body can approach or move away from each other; the pressing part is formed at the water outlet end, so that when the water inlet end and the water outlet end approach each other, the pressing part can press the switching element of the valve body, and thus the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the pipe body are blocked or connected by the valve body. Thus, the quick switch for the shower device according to the present invention is connected between a water source (e.g., a water pipe) and a water discharge device (e.g., a sprinkler head), so that the user can directly slide the water discharge device to bring the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the pipe body closer to each other. This blocks or connects the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the pipe body, and also controls whether water is allowed to flow from the water source to the water discharge device according to the present invention. In other words, the user can control whether the shower device sprays water or not by directly sliding the water discharge device, so that the user can realize quick switching even with his / her eyes closed, without searching for the switch located on the wall in the dark, and without accidentally touching the hot and cold water adjustment device.

[0008] In an advantageous configuration, it may be envisaged that a fluid blocking switching state of the at least two fluid switching states blocks the water flow between the water inflow end and the water outflow end, thus allowing blocking of the water flow by pressing the water inflow end and / or the water outflow end.

[0009] In an advantageous configuration, it may be envisaged that the fluid connection switching state of the at least two fluid switching states opens the water flow between the water inflow end and the water outflow end, so that a fluid connection can be formed.

[0010] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that a variable compensation volume is formed downstream of the valve body, so that the volume of water displaced during the switching process can be temporarily stored. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the compensation volume is in fluid communication with the outlet end.

[0011] It may be assumed that the compensation volume is at least as large as the volume of water displaced when changing the switching state, thereby making it possible to avoid uncompressed water interfering with the operating movement.

[0012] It may be envisaged that the compensation volume comprises a piston, which makes it easy to provide a variable volume.

[0013] In this case, it may be assumed that the piston is loaded by a return element, which allows the compensation volume to be emptied automatically upon pressure reduction.

[0014] Alternatively or additionally, it may be envisaged that the piston is open at the rear towards the ambient pressure and / or loaded with a compressible fluid, so that a compensatory movement or an expansion of the volume can take place on the basis of the displacement already mentioned.

[0015] Further, a quick switch for a sanitary equipment device may be envisaged, wherein the tube body further comprises: a first tube, the water inlet end being formed at one end of the first tube, the valve body being disposed within the first tube; and a second tube, the water outlet end being formed at one end of the second tube, the second tube being movably mounted around the first tube, such that the water outlet end and the water inlet end can move towards or away from each other.

[0016] Further, a quick switch for a sanitary equipment device may be envisaged, in which an outer wall of a first tube has a first abutment surface facing the water outlet end; an inner wall of a second tube has a second abutment surface facing the water inlet end, the tube further having an elastic component, the elastic component abutting between the first and second abutment surfaces and biasing the water inlet end and the water outlet end away from each other.

[0017] Further, a quick switch for a sanitary equipment device may be envisaged, in which an outer wall of the first tube has a stepped surface facing the water inflow end; an inner wall of the second tube has an inner ring groove formed in the other end of the second tube opposite the water outflow end; the valve body further has a stopper element disposed in the inner ring groove and protruding from the inner ring groove; and the stepped surface selectively abuts against a side surface of the stopper element, whereby the stopper element can define a maximum spacing between the water inflow end and the water outflow end.

[0018] Further, a quick switch for a sanitary equipment device may be envisaged, in which an internal wall surface of the water inlet end is formed with an internal thread; and an external wall surface of the water outlet end is formed with an external thread.

[0019] Furthermore, a quick switch for a sanitary installation device may be envisaged, in which the valve body further comprises a chamber base, the chamber base having an outer chamber connected to the water inlet end, an inner chamber connected to the outer chamber, and a connecting passage connected to the inner chamber and the water outlet end, whereby water from a water source can only flow through the water inlet end, the outer chamber, the inner chamber and the connecting passage in sequence to the water outlet end, and the valve body further comprises a flexible shut-off element, which can selectively abut against the chamber base and shut off the outer chamber and the inner chamber, thereby shutting off or connecting the water inlet end and the outlet end by means of the valve body.

[0020] Furthermore, a quick switch for a sanitary installation device may be envisaged, the valve body further comprising a switching component, the switching component having a closed state, in which when the switching component is in the closed state, the switching component is pressed against the shut-off element, whereby the shut-off element abuts against the chamber base and shuts off the outer chamber and the inner chamber; and an open state, in which when the switching component is in the open state, the switching component releases the shut-off element, whereby the shut-off element can move away from the chamber base due to its inherent flexibility, whereby the outer chamber is connected to the inner chamber, and the switching element is connected to the valve body, and when the switching element is pressed by a press portion of the tube body, the switching element serves to switch the switching component between the closed state and the open state.

[0021] In an advantageous configuration, it may be envisaged that the switching component has a bistable mechanism.

[0022] In an advantageous configuration, it may be envisaged that the switching component drives and controls a pilot valve of the pressure chamber.

[0023] To solve the above problem, alternatively or additionally, the features of the parallel independent claims relating to the use of a quick switch are envisaged. In particular, it is therefore proposed to use a quick switch according to the invention, in particular as described above, and / or according to one of the claims relating to a quick switch, in order to solve the problem, in such a way that the water outlet end is arranged on the low pressure side. The quick switch according to the invention can therefore also be used in the path of an additional equipment for additional switching means, for example in the vicinity of the water outlet, of a shower nozzle.

[0024] Alternatively or additionally, it may be envisaged that a flow restrictor and / or a flow reducer and / or a shut-off valve are arranged downstream of the water outlet end. The quick switch according to the invention may therefore also be used in closed systems or in intermediate output sections. Use cases may be envisaged in which the quick switch according to the invention is used instead of or as a complement to an angle valve.

[0025] The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of examples, to which the invention is not limited, and further embodiments can be obtained by combining the features of the individual claims or of several claims with one another and / or with one or several features of the examples.

[0027] The following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings and preferred embodiments, illustrates the technical solutions which are useful for solving the specified problems of the present invention.

[0028] 1, 2 and 3, the quick switch for shower system of the present invention is used to connect a water source A to a water discharge device B, in which the water source A may be a water pipe, and the water discharge device B may be a lotus-type sprinkler head or a shower head. The quick switch for shower system includes a pipe body 10 and a valve body 20.

[0029] 3 and 6, the pipe 10 includes a water inflow end 11, a water outflow end 12, and a pressing portion 13. The water inflow end 11 is used to connect to a water source A. The water outflow end 12 is used to connect to a water discharge device B. The water outflow end 12 and the water inflow end 11 can move toward or away from each other. The pressing portion 13 is disposed at the water outflow end 12 and moves together with the water outflow end 12. Specifically, the pressing portion 13 is a cylinder in this embodiment, and one end of the cylinder is connected to one connection of the water outflow end 12 through a plurality of connecting rods, and the other end of the cylinder extends straight in the direction of the water inflow end 11. However, the specific structure of the pressing portion 13 in another embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0030] Furthermore, the tube 10 in this embodiment further comprises a first tube 14 , a second tube 15 , an elastic element 16 and a stopper element 17 .

[0031] The water inflow end 11 is formed at one end of the first pipe 14, and the valve body 20 is disposed within the first pipe 14. The outer wall of the first pipe 14 has a first abutment surface 141 and a step surface 142. The first abutment surface 141 faces the water outflow end 12. The step surface 142 faces the water inflow end 11.

[0032] The water outflow end 12 is formed at one end of the second tube 15. The second tube 15 is movably mounted around the first tube 14 so that the water outflow end 12 and the water inflow end 11 can move toward or away from each other. The inner wall of the second tube 15 has a second abutment surface 151 and an inner ring groove 152. The second abutment surface 151 faces the water inflow end 11. The inner ring groove 152 is at the other end of the second tube 15 opposite the water outflow end 12. Specifically, the second abutment surface 151 is closer to the water outflow end 12 than the inner ring groove 152.

[0033] The elastic element 16 abuts between the first abutment surface 141 and the second abutment surface 151 and is biased to move the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12 away from each other. The elastic element 16 allows a stable connection between the first tube 14 and the second tube 15 to be formed.

[0034] The stopper element 17 is disposed in the inner ring groove 152 and protrudes from the inner ring groove 152. The step surface 142 is selectively located on the side surface of the stopper element 17, so that the stopper element 17 can define the maximum distance between the water inflow end 11 and the water outflow end 12. In other words, the stopper element 17 can realize that the first tube 14 cannot be separated from the second tube 15 when the water inflow end 11 and the water outflow end 12 are separated from each other. That is, even when the elastic component 16 slides the first tube 14 and the second tube 15 to be separated from each other, the second tube 15 still abuts against the stopper element 17 and the step surface 142 and is stably located in the first tube 14. Specifically, the stopper element 17 is a ring body in this embodiment. However, this is not limited to this in another embodiment.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an internal thread 143 is formed on the inner wall surface of the water inlet end 11, and an external thread 153 is formed on the outer wall surface of the water outlet end 12, which can facilitate connection to the water source A and connection to the water discharge device B. In another embodiment, the internal thread 143 and the external thread 153 may not be provided, and instead, the connection to the water source A and the water discharge device B is made by another structure.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the tube 10 acts to move the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12 toward or away from each other by the relative movement of the first tube 14 and the second tube 15. However, other embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the tube 10 may be a rubber tube, in which case the middle portion of the tube 10 simultaneously deforms radially outward and protrudes outward when compressed, so that both ends can move toward or away from each other. Alternatively, the tube 10 may be a structure similar to a straw that can be stretched and bent, i.e., the tube wall has a number of annular folds, so that both ends can move toward or away from each other in the same manner.

[0037] 4 and 5, a valve body 20 is disposed within the tube body 10 and can block or connect the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12. The valve body 20 includes a chamber base 21, a blocking element 22, a switching component 23, and a switching element 24.

[0038] The chamber base 21 has an outer chamber 211, an inner chamber 212, and a connecting passage 213. The outer chamber 211 is connected to the water inlet end 11. The inner chamber 212 is connected to the outer chamber 211. The connecting passage 213 is connected to the inner chamber 212 and the water outlet end 12. Water from the water source A can only flow through the water inlet end 11, the outer chamber 211, the inner chamber 212, and the connecting passage 213 in sequence to the water outlet end 12.

[0039] The blocking element 22 is flexible and selectively abuts against the chamber base 21 and blocks the outer chamber 211 and the inner chamber 212, thereby allowing the valve body 20 to block or connect the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12.

[0040] The switching component 23 includes a closed state and an open state. When the switching component 23 is in the closed state, the switching component 23 presses against the isolating element 22, so that the isolating element 22 abuts against the chamber base 21 and isolates the outer chamber 211 and the inner chamber 212. When the switching component 23 is in the open state, the switching component 23 releases the isolating element 22, so that the isolating element 22 can move away from the chamber base 21 due to its inherent flexibility, so that the outer chamber 211 is connected to the inner chamber 212.

[0041] The switching element 24 is connected to the switching component 23. The pressing part 13 of the tube 10 can press the switching element 24 of the valve body 20 by bringing the water inflow end 11 and the water outflow end 12 closer to each other, so that the valve body 20 is switched to block the water inflow end 11 and the water outflow end 12 or connect the water inflow end 11 and the water outflow end 12. In other words, when the switching element 24 is pressed by the pressing part 13 of the tube 10, the switching element 24 can switch the switching component 23 between a closed state and an open state.

[0042] Further referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6-FIG. 9, the present invention is disposed between the water source A and the water discharge device B when in use. The user only needs to slide the water discharge device B to bring the water inflow end 11 and the water outflow end 12 closer to each other, so that the pressing part 13 presses the switching element 24 of the valve body 20, and thus the valve body 20 is opened or closed. As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 (FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are cross-sectional views of the same state from different sides, in which the cross-sections of both views are perpendicular), when the switching component 23 of the valve body 20 is in an open state, the switching component 23 releases the blocking element 22, so that the blocking element 22 can move away from the chamber base 21 due to its inherent flexibility, and the outer chamber 211 is connected to the inner chamber 212. Thus, the water can flow through the water inflow end 11, the outer chamber 211, the inner chamber 212, and the connecting passage 213 sequentially to the water outflow end 12. In this way, the present invention allows water to flow from the water source A to the water discharge device B and to be sprayed. As shown in Figures 8 and 9 (Figures 8 and 9 are cross-sectional views of the same state from different sides, in which the cross sections of both figures are perpendicular), when the switching component 23 of the valve body 20 is in the closed state, the switching component 23 is pressed against the blocking element 22, so that the blocking element 22 abuts against the chamber base 21 and blocks the outer chamber 211 and the inner chamber 212. Therefore, water can only flow through the water inlet end 11 to the outer chamber 211, i.e., the water is blocked by the blocking element 22, and thus the water discharge device B does not spray any more water.

[0043] The advantages of the present invention are that the valve body 20 is disposed in the pipe body 10, and can disconnect or connect the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12 of the pipe body 10; the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12 of the pipe body 10 can approach or move away from each other; and the pressing part 13 is formed on the water outlet end 12, so that when the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12 approach each other, the pressing part 13 can press the switching element 24 of the valve body 20, and thus the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12 of the pipe body 10 are disconnected or connected by the valve body 20. Thus, the quick switch for the shower device according to the present invention is connected between a water source A (e.g., a water pipe) and a water discharge device B (e.g., a sprinkler head), and the user can directly slide the water discharge device B to bring the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12 of the pipe body 10 closer to each other. This cuts off or connects the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12 of the tube body 10, and also controls whether water flows from the water source A to the water discharge device B according to the present invention. In other words, the user can control whether the shower device sprays water or not by directly sliding the water discharge device B, which allows the user to realize quick switching even with his / her eyes closed, so that he / she does not have to search for the switch on the wall in the dark, and does not accidentally touch the hot and cold water adjustment device.

[0044] 10 and 11 show different views of the inventive use of a quick switch 25 according to the invention in a sanitary installation 26 in the form of a washbasin with a washbasin operating device 44.

[0045] The quick switch 25 is screwed into the wall connection 42 in place of the angle valve. A water pipe 41 is connected to the quick switch 25 and leads to a sink control device 44.

[0046] By pressing the water pipe 41 from the outside, the quick switch 25 can be opened and closed.

[0047] FIG. 12 shows a detailed view of the quick switch 25 according to the invention of FIGS.

[0048] The quick switch 25 connects the water inlet end 11 to the water outlet end 12 .

[0049] FIG. 13 shows a detailed exploded view of the quick switch 25.

[0050] Components and functional units that are functionally and / or structurally similar or identical to those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals and will not be described separately again.

[0051] FIG. 14 shows an exploded view of the valve disc generally designated 20 in FIG.

[0052] 15 to 20 are used to explain the functional form of the quick switch 25. FIG.

[0053] Functionally and / or structurally similar or identical components and functional units are given the same reference numerals and will not be described individually again.

[0054] Therefore, the explanations of FIGS. 1 to 9 also apply to FIGS.

[0055] FIG. 15 shows an axial cross-sectional view of the quick switch 25.

[0056] The switching position is shown with the valve body 20 open.

[0057] In this switching position, water can flow from the water inlet end 11 through the outlet 40 to the water outlet end 12 .

[0058] FIG. 16 shows an axial cross-sectional view rotated 90° about the longitudinal axis of the quick switch 25 relative to FIG.

[0059] The embodiment according to figures 10 to 20 differs from the above-described quick switch 25 by a compensation volume 28 which will be explained in more detail below.

[0060] In FIG. 16, the compensation volumes 28 each defined by the pistons 30 are at a minimum.

[0061] When the first tube 14 is moved towards the second tube 15 (see FIG. 17), water is displaced on the outlet side of the valve body 20 .

[0062] As long as the water outlet end 12 is not pressureless, the water will enter the compensation volume 28. In this case, the piston 30 moves against the return force of the return element 29. The return element 29 is arranged at atmospheric pressure.

[0063] The exhaust opening 32 is open to the surrounding air or atmosphere so that the rear side 31 of the piston 30 can be vented through the exhaust opening 32 .

[0064] Such an actuating movement causes the bistable mechanism 35 to be switched. More precisely, in this case, the corresponding switching element 46 is rotated by 45° about the longitudinal axis of the quick switch 25. This closes the pilot valve 37, so that pressure can build up in the inner chamber 212. This increased pressure causes the inner chamber wall 38 to move (see FIG. 18), which in turn presses the shut-off element 22 against the valve seat 39.

[0065] Therefore, the valve body 20 is closed and water cannot flow from the water inlet end 11 to the water outlet end 12 .

[0066] If the first tube 14 is now moved again towards the second tube 15, the corresponding switching element 46 of the bistable mechanism 35 will undergo a new rotation of 45° (see FIG. 19).

[0067] This causes the pilot valve 37 to open, thereby allowing the inner chamber 212 to empty.

[0068] This causes the inner chamber wall 38 to move due to the operating pressure on the side of the water inlet end 11 so that the inner chamber 212 shrinks.

[0069] When the state of FIG. 20 occurs in which the valve body 20 is open, water can flow from the water inflow end 11 to the water outflow end 12 .

[0070] 21-23 and 24-25 show two embodiments of a sanitary installation 26 in the form of a shower installation 27 equipped with a quick switch 25 according to the invention.

[0071] Each showerhead 45 constitutes a flow blocking element, so that the water pipe 41 and thus the water outlet end 12 are not pressureless, but a certain operating pressure is created when the operating device 43 is opened.

[0072] For this purpose, the quick switch 25 must have a compensation volume 28 of the type described above.

[0073] The above description is only related to the preferred embodiments and does not limit the present invention in any way. The present invention has been disclosed by the preferred embodiments as described above, but these embodiments do not limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art with ordinary knowledge in the art can make some changes or modifications using the above technical content without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, as equivalent examples of equivalent modifications.
