Definitions
- the invention relates to a shower device, in particular in the manner of a garden shower.
- Garden showers are shower fixtures that can be installed outdoors with little effort as required without permanent installation.
- the water is typically supplied via a hose that can be detachably connected to the shower device.
- Known shower devices of this type have a shower head with a nozzle arrangement on a support tube which is height-adjustable relative to a stand and which produces a diverging shower jet with a plurality of individual water jets.
- a shower head known from DE 36 37 470 A1 has two alternatively selectable outputs, of which a first shower outlet emits a plurality of individual jets and a second jet outlet emits a concentrated jet.
- a first pivotable shower head is arranged near a valve and a second shower head is pivotally attached to a second outlet of the valve via a curved tube. Water can be applied to the first or both shower heads via the valve.
- a further shower arrangement with a first and a second alternatively selectable shower head is described in US Pat. No. 5,788,160.
- the first shower head is fixed with respect to a wall mounting and emits a common shower spray.
- the second shower head is designed to deliver a hot water spray in the form of finely divided droplets.
- a shower arrangement known from US 5,339,469 has a first fixed to one Fitting arranged shower head with a shower jet and further shower heads connected to the fitting via hoses, which can alternatively be selected and form a pulse jet shower head or a brush shower head.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a shower device in the manner of a garden shower, which brings particular advantages for installation in the garden or the like with a simple and inexpensive structure.
- the invention offers, in addition to a customary first nozzle arrangement, a clear gain in utility value compared to conventional garden showers with little effort, such a gain being able to be achieved both by a different configuration from the first nozzle arrangement and by a different positioning of the further nozzle arrangement.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment provides for the further nozzle arrangement to be designed as a spray nozzle arrangement which, in contrast to a customary shower jet or a pulsed shower jet, sprays water in the form of individual drops from at least one spray nozzle.
- Such spray nozzles are known per se and typically produce a spray pattern in which the individual drops spread approximately along a conical surface.
- Such a spray pattern can be generated in particular by the fact that water forms a vortex in a nozzle chamber and exits through a narrow nozzle ring gap.
- the spray pattern is advantageously adjustable, for example by a cone body which changes the width of the annular gap and is longitudinally displaceable relative to the nozzle opening. The flow rate is typically much lower with a spray nozzle than with a shower jet.
- the spray nozzle arrangement is particularly advantageous for a garden shower because the fine droplet distribution makes extreme temperatures of the water given off, in particular cold water from the supply network or water heated by sunlight in a supply hose, less uncomfortable for the user than with a conventional shower jet.
- the further nozzle arrangement is arranged in the shower head together with the first nozzle arrangement, the various nozzle arrangements being selectable individually as the respective active nozzle arrangement.
- a switchover between different flow paths to the individual nozzles or a displacement of the individual nozzles in front of a common outlet opening of a connecting line can be provided in the nozzle head, for example in the form of a rotatable nozzle carrier disk.
- the further nozzle arrangement is arranged at a distance from the shower head, with the shower head in a fixed position, in particular at a lower height, in order to act on the body or legs with water in a targeted manner with low water consumption.
- the further nozzle arrangement can, in particular when the arrangement is spaced apart from the shower head, preferably be aligned in a variable manner.
- the shower device according to the invention preferably has a lower stand and an upper shower head support, which is adjustable in height relative to the stand, in a manner known per se.
- the stand can contain, for example, an earth spike, a heavy base plate, several feet, etc.
- a stand mechanically connecting module and shower head support can advantageously also carry the further nozzle arrangement and / or a shut-off valve arrangement.
- an advantageous embodiment provides for the shut-off valve arrangement and feed line to the further nozzle arrangement to be formed in a common valve housing on which the further nozzle arrangement, preferably detachably and / or variably, can also be aligned , is arranged.
- the common valve housing and the module for mechanically connecting the stand and shower head support are combined in one structural unit.
- these and the first nozzle arrangement can preferably be connected to the input connection via a common connecting line, in particular by inserting a shut-off valve arrangement. If a further nozzle arrangement is arranged spaced apart from the shower head, this can advantageously be connected to the input connection via a separate connecting line.
- a shut-off valve arrangement inserted between the inlet connection and the connecting lines to the first and further nozzle arrangement is preferably designed as a multi-way valve, in particular with, in addition to a shut-off position, alternative opening positions for each of the connecting lines to the different nozzle arrangements at separate outlets of the shut-off valve arrangement.
- the flow rate in the shut-off valve arrangement is advantageously variably adjustable, so that the shut-off valve arrangement also serves as a regulating valve.
- the shut-off valve arrangement can preferably be handled using only one control element, which, in addition to the change between a closed position and at least one open position, also enables the flow rate to be regulated and / or the switchover between two separate outputs of the shut-off valve arrangement.
- a valve that is particularly suitable for this purpose is known, for example, for a switchable irrigation device from DE 19941 573 A1.
- a shut-off valve arrangement is particularly advantageous, which can optionally be switched between two opening positions and has different flow resistances or flow cross-sections for the two different opening positions, and preferably also a different regulating valve function with different minimum flow resistances or maximum flow cross-sections.
- both outputs of the shut-off valve arrangement assigned to the different opening positions can then be brought together again to the connecting line to the shower head and the opening position with the greater flow resistance or the smaller opening cross section can then serve as a water saver.
- the shower head can advantageously be connected via a flexible hose as a connecting line to the inlet connection or the shut-off valve arrangement and can preferably be detachable from the support as a hand shower.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a shower device according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a flow diagram of a valve arrangement.
- a shower head DK1 with a customary multi-jet shower BD is arranged as the first nozzle arrangement (DAE) at the upper end of a water-carrying pipe VR, which is used both as a mechanical support for the shower head DK1 and as a connecting line serves to supply water from an input connection EA.
- the input connection EA is designed as a nipple of a plug-in coupling.
- the water is usually fed in using a hose from a cold water network.
- the lower end of the tube VR is held in a tube receptacle of a connection module, to which the nipple EA is also attached and which contains a shut-off valve arrangement VA inserted between the nipple EA and tube VR.
- the valve arrangement VA has an operating lever BH, by means of which a valve plug can be rotated about an axis which is horizontal in the arrangement outlined.
- the connection module also serves to mechanically connect the pipe VR as the upper part of the shower device to a lower stand part of the shower device, which is designed as a pipe SR in the example.
- connection module is held on the stand pipe SR via a holding mechanism, not shown in detail, in particular a clamping mechanism and can be moved along the stand pipe SR by releasing the holding mechanism by lateral pressure on the spring-loaded release button, in order to adjust the height of the shower head above the To reach the installation area and / or to detach the stand pipe from the VM connection module to disassemble the shower device.
- a holding mechanism not shown in detail, in particular a clamping mechanism and can be moved along the stand pipe SR by releasing the holding mechanism by lateral pressure on the spring-loaded release button, in order to adjust the height of the shower head above the To reach the installation area and / or to detach the stand pipe from the VM connection module to disassemble the shower device.
- a further nozzle arrangement DAW is additionally fastened to the connection module, which in the example outlined comprises three spray nozzles SD in a horizontal row.
- the spray pattern of the spray nozzles can be changed, for example by turning the nozzle caps.
- the further nozzle arrangement DAW can preferably be aligned in a variable manner, for example by rotating about a horizontal axis, as indicated by a ring arrow.
- the shower head DK1 can also be variably orientated relative to the pipe VR.
- connection module also serves as a valve housing, in which flow paths from the inlet connection to the inlet of the valve arrangement, from a first outlet of the valve arrangement to the connection pipe VR and via a separate connection line which bypasses the clamping receptacle for the stator pipe to the further nozzle arrangement DAW are formed.
- valve arrangement VA which is similar in detail, for example, to that from FIG.
- A1 known valve arrangement can be made from a central position O, in which the valve at the inlet connection blocks against both valve outputs and thus against both nozzle arrangements DAE and DAW up to a first maximum opening position I or up to a second maximum Opening position II can be pivoted downwards.
- a path is opened from the input connection through the valve arrangement to the connecting pipe VR and the first nozzle arrangement DAW, in the second opening position to the further nozzle arrangement DAW.
- the valve arrangement is preferably also designed as a regulating valve in such a way that when the operating lever is pivoted into the maximum opening positions I or II, the flow cross section SQ through the valve arrangement increases monotonously up to the maximum cross-sectional values, or the flow resistance up to minimum flow resistance values is reduced.
- the maximum cross-sectional values QMI and QMII are preferably different.
- a flow diagram with a qualitative course of the flow cross sections SQ is outlined in FIG. 3.
- the swiveling ranges Ol and O-Il are preferably, but not necessarily, at least approximately the same size.
- the swivel movements can be limited by stops at swivel positions with the maximum flow cross section QMI or QMII.
- the regulating behavior of a valve arrangement with a flow diagram of the type sketched in FIG. 3 has the advantageous effect in a shower device as sketched in FIG. 1 that the flow rate to the first nozzle arrangement is increased so much by the larger maximum flow cross section in the first maximum opening position can be that if necessary, a sufficiently strong shower jet is emitted from the nozzle BD.
- the spray nozzles themselves limit the maximum flow rate to a value which is substantially lower than that of a shower nozzle BD, so that a lower maximum flow cross section is favorable for good regulation of the flow rate by means of the valve arrangement in the second opening position II.
- a shower head DK2 is detachably attached to a holder HK, which can be clamped to a support tube DT in different height positions.
- the water-carrying connecting line to the valve arrangement VA arranged at the inlet connection EA is designed as a flexible hose SL.
- the shower head DK2 can therefore also be used as a hand-held shower head with a handle GR.
- the valve housing VG which carries the input connection EA as a nipple of a plug-in coupling and the connection of the connecting hose SL and contains the valve arrangement VA, can in turn be variably fixed and / or removed from the stand tube SR by means of the mechanism already explained in relation to FIG. 1 with the release button LK ,
- the stand pipe SR and carrier pipe DT form two sections of a pipe arrangement which are detachably connected by a pipe sleeve RV and which Ren end is held in a tripod stand, the legs SF in turn are removable from a central plate ZP, so that the entire shower device can be reduced to a small pack size for transport or storage purposes.
- the shower head DK2 advantageously contains at least a first nozzle arrangement, in particular in turn a multi-jet shower BD, and a spray nozzle arrangement with at least one spray nozzle SD.
- the two nozzle arrangements can alternatively be active, i.e. H. can be selected with the water supply flowing through the connecting hose SL.
- a nozzle carrier disk carrying both nozzle arrangements can be designed to be rotatable in the direction indicated by the arrow.
- the shower head DK2 can contain further nozzle arrangements.
- shower heads with several different nozzle arrangements and rotatable carrier for selecting a nozzle arrangement as active are generally known.
- the combination of a common multi-jet shower with a spray nozzle is particularly advantageous for a garden shower for reasons already described.
- valve arrangement VA leads to the shower head DK2 as the only water dispensing device via only one connecting line, the hose SL, so that a simple shut-off valve, preferably with the possibility of regulation, can also be used advantageously.
- an adjustable shut-off valve arrangement with the flow behavior already described in detail and graphically illustrated in FIG. 3 is of particular advantage, in which case both valve outlets are again connected to the one connecting line be brought together.
- the opening position I or II which is more favorable for regulation can be selected on the one hand, depending on the nozzle arrangement selected as active in each case, analogously to the explanations for FIG.
- valve arrangement with two opening positions I and II with different regulation ranges in such a way that a first opening position I with a larger maximum flow cross-section MQI for full shower jet and a second opening position II with a smaller one maximum flow cross-section MQII is used for water-saving use.
- the ability to hang the shower head from the support and guide it close to the body by hand is of particular advantage.
