Definitions

  • a “multi-function hand shower” is understood to mean a hand shower that can be used in several "operating modes”. Each of these "operating modes” differs from the other in the character of the water jets emerging from the shower base.
  • the best-known operating modes are as follows: In “soft jet mode”, the emerging water jets have a relatively large cross-section; they are relatively slow and enriched with air. Such water jets are considered by many users to be particularly pleasant and "soft” felt. In the so-called “hard jet mode”, water jets of relatively small cross-section emerge from the shower base at a relatively high speed; they are perceived by users as “hard” and have a desired massage effect. The latter can be further amplified in the so-called “pulsator beam mode", in which the hard beams are periodically interrupted.
  • each multi-function hand shower requires a changeover mechanism that the user can use to set the desired operating mode.
  • Known multi-function hand showers are provided with switching mechanisms that are not easy for the user to operate. Some of these changeover mechanisms are located directly on the shower base and must be activated by turning the shower base or a concentric actuating ring; in some cases there are several manual controls if more than two operating modes are provided.
  • the object of the present invention is to design a multi-function hand shower of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be operated by the user in a simple manner and can be accommodated in a space-saving manner within the housing of the hand shower.
  • the changeover mechanism according to the invention designed in this way is easy for the user to grasp, since only a single manual control element is provided, which can assume three positions that can be clearly assigned to the three operating modes.
  • the mechanism can be built into the housing to save space.
  • the first changeover element acts on a double valve cone which interacts with two valve seats formed in the housing.
  • This double valve cone can therefore divide the water flowing in via the handle of the hand shower into two water ways:
  • the first water route leads to devices built into the shower housing, which enrich the water with air, and from there to relatively large water outlet openings.
  • Soft rays are created.
  • the other water path is intended for the two operating modes in which hard jets or pulsed hard jets are generated, it then being possible for the second changeover element to choose between these two operating modes.
  • the second changeover element likewise acts on a double valve cone, which interacts with a third and a fourth valve seat formed in the housing.
  • the differentiation between the two operating modes working with hard shower jets is then again carried out by splitting into two different water paths within the housing.
  • the second changeover element acts on a stop part, which in one of the two positions of the second changeover element lies outside the movement path of a stop attached to the pulsator wheel, and in the other of the two positions of the second changeover element in the movement path of the stopper of the Pulsator wheel is that the pulsator wheel remains in a defined rotational position. Because of this design, only a single water path is required within the shower for the hard jet and pulsator jet mode. The spray pattern, which shows such a hand shower in hard jet and pulsator jet mode, is therefore identical (apart from the interruption of the water jet in pulsator mode). In contrast to the cases in which separate water paths are provided for hard jet and pulsator operation, the number of water jets emerging in both operating modes can be kept large.
  • the two changeover elements can be moved parallel to one another and perpendicular to the direction of movement of the slide.
  • a movement of the slide parallel to the wall of the hand shower housing is easy to do.
  • a movement of the changeover members directed perpendicularly to this then leads into the interior of the housing, where the components to be moved are located.
  • the manual actuator can be a rocker which can be pivoted clockwise into a second position and counterclockwise into a third position from a central first position.
  • Rockers as actuators of sanitary elements are known and popular in and of themselves, because they are easy to use and can be accommodated optically to the corresponding sanitary elements.
  • the known rockers only have two different pivot positions, while in a hand shower designed according to the invention the rocker also has a middle position.
  • the transmission of the forces from the rocker to the slide can take place, for example, in such a way that an actuating finger is molded onto the rocker and engages in a driving recess of the slide.
  • the pivoting movement of the rocker actuating finger can thus be easily converted into a linear movement of the slide.
  • An embodiment of the invention is particularly preferred in which the guide and cam mechanism, based on the central position of the slide, is symmetrical works, the stop of the slide, however, asymmetrically in relation to the middle position of the slide, works in such a way that it prevents the movement of the second changeover element into the second position in only one off-center position of the slide.
  • the middle position of the slide corresponds to the first operating mode in which the first changeover element assumes its first position. Regardless of the direction in which the slide is now shifted from this middle position, the symmetrically designed guide and cam mechanism always brings the first changeover element into the second position.
  • each driving pin In the middle position of the slide, each driving pin is located in the apex of the corresponding V. Each lateral movement of the slide then presses the driving pin along the corresponding leg of the V, so that the first changeover element is correspondingly displaced in the same direction, regardless of which way Direction of the slide is moved from the middle position.
  • This configuration allows the first changeover element to be pivoted, so that no jamming of the first changeover element threatens in the event of alignment and angular errors within the housing.
  • the stop of the slide can expediently be formed by a boom projecting out of the slide perpendicular to the direction of movement of the second changeover element. This boom then covers the free end of the second changeover member in the position in which it is to be retained in the first position against the force of the spring.
  • a cam surface can be attached at an angle to the direction of movement of the slide.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section through the entire hand shower, on the basis of which the various inner water paths for the several operating modes in which the hand shower can be operated will first be explained.
  • the hand shower shown comprises, in a manner known per se, a housing 1 which is bell-shaped in its left region 1a in the drawing and merges into a handle 1b in its right region which has largely been broken off in FIG.
  • the handle 1b is hollow; its interior 2 is used to supply the water, as is common in hand showers.
  • the bell-shaped area 1a of the housing 1 is closed at the bottom by a shower base 3.
  • a shower base 3 This continues in the illustrated embodiment an outer layer 3a made of an elastomeric material, which serves as a shock protection plate, and an inner rigid layer 3b.
  • the shower base 3 is provided with two sets of water outlet openings 4, 5, which are arranged in concentric circles around the central axis of the shower base 3.
  • the water outlet openings 4 have a relatively small cross section; they are located at the outer end of a hose-like nozzle insert 6, which extends relatively far into the interior of the housing 1.
  • This nozzle insert 6 is also made of elastomeric material.
  • the water outlet openings 5, which have a relatively large cross section, are located at the outer end of hose-like nozzle inserts 7, which, however, only extend into the interior of the housing 1 over a relatively short distance.
  • the hose-like nozzle inserts 7 also consist of elastomeric material.
  • An insert 8 is fastened in the interior of the bell-shaped region 1 a of the housing 1. This is a relatively complicated molded part, which is shown in one piece in the drawing, but in practice is generally composed of several parts.
  • the insert 8 can be roughly divided into an area 8a running parallel to the shower base 3 and an essentially cylindrical extension 8b which extends upwards from the rear of this area 8a in FIG.
  • the cylindrical extension 8b is inserted into a cylindrical wall 9 molded onto the housing 1, sealed against it by an O-ring 10 and fixed in a suitable manner in the axial direction to the shower base 3 - for example by gluing or latching (not shown).
  • the shower base 3 is fastened to the insert 8 and thus to the housing 1 by a central fastening screw 11, which is screwed into a central stepped bore 12 of the insert 8.
  • a first annular space 13 is located within the cylindrical insert 8b. It is connected to a radial through opening 14 in the ring wall 9 of the housing 1 pointing in the direction of the handle 1b.
  • the annular space 13 also communicates via a plurality of through bores 15 which are provided in its annular base with a second annular space 16 which opens into a water distribution space 17 which extends parallel to the shower base 3 and essentially over its entire surface.
  • the water distribution space 17 communicates with the inner ends of the hose-like nozzle inserts 7, which belong to the water outlet openings 5 with a larger cross section.
  • a third annular space 18 is cut out, which is connected to a fourth annular space 20 via a plurality of through bores 19 distributed over the circumference.
  • the fourth annular space 20 concentrically surrounds the third annular space 18 with a larger radius.
  • through-bores 21 are provided coaxially with each hose-like nozzle insert 6 and are surrounded at their outer end by small cylindrical collars 22 which are molded onto the underside of the insert 8.
  • the cylindrical Collars 22 receive the inner ends of the tubular nozzle inserts 6; Due to the elastic properties of these hose-like nozzle inserts 6, a tight transition of the water from the fourth annular space 20 to the water outlet openings 4 of small cross-section is ensured in this way.
  • a pulsator wheel 23 is rotatably mounted in the fourth annular space 20, which - as can also be seen in particular in FIG. 5 - is equipped with a large number of curved turbine blades 24 which extend essentially in the radial direction.
  • the pulsator wheel 23 is guided by an integrally formed annular rib 25 which runs in a groove 26 in the bottom surface of the fourth annular space 20.
  • the rib 25 of the pulsator wheel 23 carries diametrically opposite two cover ring segments 27 which each extend over an angle of approximately 90 ° parallel to the bottom of the fourth annular space 20 and cover the through bores 21 in the corresponding peripheral region of the annular space 20.
  • an axially projecting stop 28 is also formed between the turbine wheels 24. In a manner to be described, this serves to block the pulsator wheel 23 in a specific rotational position.
  • the cover ring segments 27 there are also many small through holes 29 which are aligned with a through hole 21 of the insert 8 in the blocking position of the pulsator wheel 23 mentioned.
  • a first valve seat 30 directed axially downward is formed in the housing 1 of the hand shower between the interior 2 of the handle 1b and the through opening 14.
  • a second valve seat 31 is located coaxially to the first valve seat 30 on a cylindrical collar 32 of the insert 8, which is inserted into a complementary opening 33 of the housing 1 and sealed against it by an O-ring 34.
  • the second valve seat 31 is connected to the third annular space 18 via through bores 35.
  • the two valve seats 30 and 31 cooperate with an axially movable double valve cone 36, which in turn is composed of a shaft part 37 and the actual seal 38, which cooperates with the valve seats 30 and 31.
  • the stem part 37 of the double valve plug 36 is made through an opening 39 from the housing 1, a molded seal 40 arranged between the outer surface of the stem part 37 and a corresponding housing wall preventing water from escaping from the interior of the housing 1.
  • the outer end of the shaft part 37 is connected to a changeover mechanism, which is provided overall with the reference number 41, is partially housed in a recess 42 on the top of the housing 1 and is described in more detail below.
  • the double valve cone 36 is acted upon by a compression spring 43, which is clamped between a step of the shaft part 37 and a washer 44 supported on the housing 1, such that the seal 38 of the double valve cone is normally in the position shown in FIG closes the second valve seat 31.
  • the entire double valve plug 36 is coaxially penetrated by a stop rod 45. This has its lower end passed through a bore 46 which leads into the fourth annular space 20.
  • the stop rod 45 can be moved axially within the double valve cone 36. It can assume two positions: in the first position, which is shown in FIG. 1, the lower end of the stop rod 45 projects into the fourth annular space 20 so that it is in the path of movement of the stop 28 of the pulsator wheel 23. When the stop 28 comes into contact with the lower end of the stop rod 45, the through bores 29 provided in the cover segment 27 are aligned with the through bores 21 of the insert 8.
  • the stop rod 45 In the second axial position, the stop rod 45 is moved so far up that its lower end is no longer in the path of movement of the stop 28 of the pulsator wheel 23, so that the pulsator wheel 23 can be rotated completely freely.
  • the first operating mode of the hand shower is shown in Figure 1 and in Figures 2a to 2c.
  • the second valve seat 31 is closed by the double valve cone 36.
  • the water flowing in via the interior 2 of the handle 1b flows past the first valve seat through the through opening 14 of the wall 9 of the housing 1 into the first annular space 13 of the insert 8b. From there, the water continues to flow out through the openings 15 into the second annular space 16, into the water distribution space 17 and then through an annular sieve 50, which covers the inner ends of the hose-like nozzle inserts 7.
  • the water flowing through the passage openings 15 in the form of many individual jets is enriched with air upon entry into the second annular space 16, which is sucked in via the radial bores 51 connecting the annular space 16 with the central stepped bore 12, the stepped bore 12 itself and through through bores 52 in the shower base 3 .
  • the water flowing out of the water outlet openings 5 is therefore enriched with the finest air bubbles. Because of the relatively large cross section of the water outlet openings 5, the shower jets produced here are relatively slow. They are therefore felt to be soft. One speaks in the professional world therefore also from "soft or soft jet operation”.
  • the second operating mode of the shower is obtained when the double valve cone 36 is shifted upwards, that is to say closes the first valve seat 30 and releases the second valve seat 31.
  • the stop rod 45 is still in that position, in which prevents the lower end of the free rotation of the pulsator 23.
  • the relationships are shown in FIGS. 3a to 3c.
  • the water flowing in via the interior 2 of the handle 1b flows through the passage openings 35 of the insert 8 into the third annular space 18, from there via the radially directed passage openings 19 into the fourth annular space 20.
  • the pulsator wheel 23 is rotated a little by the turbine blades 24 until the stop 28 abuts the stop rod 45. A further rotation of the pulsator wheel 23 is then no longer possible.
  • the fourth annular space 20 now acts as a simple water distribution space, from which the water flows via the passage openings 21 in the bottom of the fourth annular space 20 and the hose-like nozzle inserts 6 to the water outlet openings 4.
  • the shower jets emerging here are relatively fast because of the geometry of the water outlet openings 4 and are therefore perceived as hard, as well as because of the lack of air enrichment. One speaks therefore of the "hard jet operation" of the hand shower.
  • the double valve plug 36 has the same position as in the second operating mode: that is, it blocks the first valve seat 30 and releases the second valve seat 31.
  • the stop rod 45 on the other hand, is now pulled back axially upward, so that its lower end no longer hinders the rotation of the pulsator wheel 23.
  • the water path is the same as in the second operating mode: the water flows through the interior 2 of the handle 1b past the second valve seat 31 through the through openings 35 into the third annular space 18, from there via the radial through openings 19 into the fourth annular space 20 and out of this via the through openings 21 and the hose-like nozzle inserts 6 to the water outlet openings 4 of small cross-section.
  • the part of the changeover mechanism 41 accommodated in the recess 42 of the housing 1 comprises a rocker-type manual actuating element 53, hereinafter referred to as "rocker” for short.
  • the rocker 53 closes the recess 42 of the housing 1 upwards and protrudes only so far that it can be easily operated.
  • An actuating finger 54 protruding into the interior of the recess 42 is formed on the rocker 53. This is penetrated in its upper region by a pivot pin 55 which is held in the side walls of the housing 1. On in this way, the rocker 53 can be pivoted about a horizontal axis defined by the pivot pin 55.
  • FIGS. 2a to 2c show the middle position of both the rocker 53 and the slide 56, which corresponds to the first operating mode of the hand shower, that is to say the "soft jet mode".
  • a bracket 59 extending approximately parallel to the direction of the arrow 58 is formed, which is provided at its end with an oblique cam surface 60.
  • a guide plate 61 with a V-shaped guide slot 62 is formed on each side of the arm 59 of the slide 56.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b only the guide plate 61 lying behind the plane of the drawing is partially recognizable.
  • the front guide plate 61 is cut according to the cut.
  • the interface is identified by the hatched rectangle 68.
  • FIG. 2c on the other hand, the representation in the area of the upper end of the double valve cone 36 is chosen differently in such a way that the guide plate 61 actually lying in front of the cutting plane and the way in which it is connected to the extension 59 of the slide 56 can be seen.
  • the upper end of the shaft part 37 is spherical, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 2a. It is received by a complementary partially spherical inner surface of a drive ring 63 composed of two parts.
  • the driving ring 63 is axially displaceably guided in a cylindrical collar 64 formed on the bottom of the recess 42 of the housing 1.
  • two driving pins 65 protrude from the outer surface of the driving ring 63, diametrically opposite, as can be seen in FIGS. 2b and 2c.
  • the driving pins 65 are received by the guide slots 62 of the adjacent guide plates 61. This can be seen particularly in FIG. 2c.
  • the relative position of the slide 56 and in particular of the V-shaped guide slots 62 provided in the guide plates 61 relative to the upper end of the double valve cone 36 is such that the driving pins 65 are located in the lower apex of the V- shaped guide slots 62 are located.
  • Figure 2c This is clearly the position in which the double valve cone 36 can assume the lowest position, in which its seal 38 closes the second valve seat 31.
  • the upper end of the stop rod 45 is at a short distance from the cam surface 60 on the arm 59 of the slide 56.
  • the double valve plug 36 As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3c, the linear movement of the slide 56 to the left pushes the driving pins 65 of the driving ring 63 into the leg of the V-shaped guide slots 62 on the right in the drawing. Due to the inclination of this leg, the guide pins 65 are pulled up in a kind of cam effect; due to the positive fit between the driving ring 63 and the shaft part 37 of the double valve plug 36, the latter follows axially upwards until it closes the first valve seat 30, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3c. Since, as mentioned, the stop rod 45 remains axially during this axial movement of the double valve cone 36, the compression spring 49 arranged between the double valve cone 36 and the stop rod 45 is compressed.
  • the "hard jet mode” was changed over to the "pulsator jet mode” with the aid of a changeover element designed as a stop rod 45, with which the rotation of the pulsator wheel can be stopped.
  • the second changeover element acts on a second double valve cone, with which the water can optionally be directed to two different water paths assigned to the "hard jet mode” and the "pulsator jet mode”. The displacement of the second changeover element also takes place in this embodiment in the manner described above.
  • the first operating mode is therefore set automatically so that "soft jet operation" is present when the water flows through again.
