Definitions

  • the invention relates to a quick coupling, in particular for connecting a hand shower to a shower hose, the quick coupling being formed in two parts from a connecting piece and a nut housing.
  • a quick coupling is known from the document DE 28 27 847 C3.
  • US-PS 40 30 360 it is known from US-PS 40 30 360 to arrange a mechanical temperature measuring and display device for the inflowing shower water in front of the shower head in the feed line.
  • the device is relatively bulky and can be arranged in the line by means of a threaded screw connection.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the quick coupling specified in the preamble of claim 1 and in particular to enable a measurement and display of at least one physical quantity of the supplied fluid favorably in the area of the coupling.
  • This object is achieved in that a device for measuring and displaying one or more physical parameters of the flowing fluid is arranged in one part of the quick coupling. Further refinements of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 12.
  • the measures according to the invention ensure that a measuring and display device can be integrated in the fluid line in a very space-saving manner using relatively simple means.
  • the device can be designed as a temperature measuring and display device and can be used at the end of the hose line in front of the handle of a sanitary water shower. Because the coupling is provided directly on the handle of the hand shower, the user can easily read the current water temperature both in manual mode and in stationary mode on a wall bar.
  • the sanitary hand shower 10 shown in FIG. 1 is supplied via a handle 11 and the quick coupling consisting of a mother housing 1 and connecting piece 2 through the hose line from a water mixer fitting not shown in the drawing.
  • the coupling mechanism of the quick coupling corresponds essentially to the mechanism disclosed in the document DE 28 27 847 C3, so that it is not necessary to go into this in detail.
  • the mother housing 1 is formed in one piece with the handle 11 of the hand shower 10 and has at least one actuation button 12, as shown in FIG. 2 of the drawing.
  • the hand shower 10 can both as User held hand shower can also be used as a stationary shower.
  • the hand shower 10 can be plugged with the cone of the fastening nut 210 into a holder of a wall bar, not shown in the drawing.
  • a device for measuring and displaying the temperature of the shower water passing through the water guide channel 20 is provided in the connecting piece 2 perpendicular to a water guide channel 20.
  • a temperature display 31 (LCD / LED) is arranged in the wall of the connecting piece 2, while a closable opening 22 for a chamber 23 for receiving a battery 32 is provided on the opposite side, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3 to 5 is.
  • the opening 22 is provided with a screw plug 34.
  • the partially annular chamber 23 (FIG.
  • a temperature sensor 25 as can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 5, is also arranged in the side wall of the water guide channel 20 and is connected to the device 3.
  • a switch for switching the device on and off can also be provided at a suitable point.
  • the connecting piece 2 can be constructed in two parts, the connecting joint 27 running approximately transversely to the water duct 20 in the housing. After assembly of the device 3, the two parts of the neck 2 can then Ultrasonic welding, gluing etc. are tightly connected.
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 Another exemplary embodiment of the connecting piece 2 is shown in FIGS. 6 to 8.
  • the connecting piece 2 is formed in one piece and has a recess 26 with a rectangular cross section perpendicular to the water guide channel 20, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 6.
  • the device 3 for measuring and displaying the temperature is arranged as a structural unit in a separate housing 33, which has cross-sections corresponding to the rectangular cross-section of the recess 26 in the area of the seals 331, while an approximately circular cross-section in the area in the area of the water guide channel 20 Constriction 330 is formed so that the water can flow relatively freely along the housing 33 used. Otherwise, the neck 2 corresponds to the embodiment described first.
  • Locking tongues or an adjusting screw can be provided to fix the housing 33 in the plug-in position in the connecting piece 2.
  • the housing 33 can also be fixed in the plug-in position by gluing etc.
  • one or more solar cells can be provided for the energy supply of the device 3 instead of the battery 32.
