  • the water distribution device is deliberately modular, with only one water inlet module and at least one, but usually several water drainage modules.
  • the water supply module has, in addition to an inlet connection, a first type or a first type of coupling surface, the so-called first coupling surface, to which a single water drainage module is coupled by means of a second type or a second type coupling surface.
  • the two types or types of coupling surfaces can be configured identically, are preferably but different or designed differently.
  • the water drain module is in particular fixedly coupled to the water supply module.
  • the coupling may be configured by a coupling part arranged therebetween, but preferably the coupling is configured by direct contact of the first coupling surface with the second coupling surface.
  • the individual modules of the water distribution device according to the invention preferably each have a block-shaped housing and can also be referred to as blocks.
  • the blocks are advantageously designed directly adjacent to each other.
  • a filter on the water inlet module.
  • a backflow preventer is provided on the water inlet module. By means of this, a return flow of water from the inlet module into an associated supply line is to be prevented in the operation of a return valve.
  • a flow meter is preferably also installed on the water supply module. By means of such a flow meter, the amount of water passed through the inlet module is to be measured.
  • the flowmeter is advantageously designed with a paddle wheel whose number of revolutions per unit time is measured.
  • two first coupling surfaces are further preferably provided on the water supply module.
  • two water drainage modules can be arranged on the water supply module.
  • the first coupling surface can also be used for arranging a lid, so that then a water drain module and just such a lid are to be attached to the water inlet module at the two first coupling surfaces.
  • two first coupling surfaces and a flow meter are advantageously arranged on the water supply module and with the flow meter the flow of water from the inlet connection to only one of the first two coupling surfaces is measured.
  • the water drain module on the water distribution device according to the invention is preferably designed with two second coupling surfaces for coupling each of a water drain module.
  • the two second coupling surfaces allow a combination of a total of three water drainage modules, two of which are coupled to a water drainage module, which in turn can be coupled to another water drainage module or the water inlet module.
  • Such a composition is particularly compact and can be flexibly adapted to existing space specifications.
  • the first coupling surface and / or the second coupling surface is advantageously designed as a rectangular shape with four corners, in particular as a square shape, and for connecting the coupling surfaces advantageously four connection points are provided, which are located at the four corners.
  • This refinement can be produced advantageously in terms of production and also makes possible a space-saving and at the same time well-sealed design of the coupling surfaces.
  • a circular shaped bayonet connection can be formed around a central connection to the coupling surfaces, whereby a simple connection of the modules without further items is possible.
  • the modules are also preferably permanently connected by means of a welded connection, or by means of an additional material, preferably a separately introduced material. This may advantageously be an adhesive material or an injection molding material.
  • the first coupling surfaces are preferably each with all male connection points and the second coupling surfaces each with all female connection points fitted.
  • the first coupling surfaces are each equipped with all female connection points and the second coupling surfaces each with all male joints.
  • Under male and female joints are coupling elements to understand that work together and are male / female only as a connection to assemble. The explained, similar connection with all male or female joints ensures at the water distribution device according to the invention that the modules to be provided there are mounted in the correct sequence. A different, wrong combination of modules is certainly excluded with this connection design.
  • a cover for closing at least one of the first coupling surfaces is provided.
  • the lid forms a conclusion at the respective first contact surface, which can be provided both on the water inlet module and on the last in the flow direction water drain module.
  • those contact surfaces are closed at the water inlet module and also at the water drain module by means of the lid, which could alternatively be used for arranging further water drainage modules.
  • the cover for the inlet module and the drain module can be designed as a common part and are manufactured in accordance with cost.
  • water distribution devices 10 are shown, which are provided for a domestic dishwasher or a household washing machine as a water-bearing machine and each include a water supply module 12 and two or more water drainage modules 14 and associated cover 16. With the modules 12 and 14 and the lids 16, a modular structure of the water distribution devices 12 is created by means of which you can meet the smallest possible space nevertheless diverse requirements for water distribution even with different types of water-bearing machines.
  • the water inlet module 12 is designed with a cubic inlet housing 18 made of injection-molded plastic, from the underside of which a tubular inlet connection or inlet connection 20 protrudes. At this is a dashed lines shown supply line 22 (see Fig. 1 ) connected.
  • a filter 24 and a backflow preventer 26 are successively viewed.
  • a flow meter 28 which is designed with a tubular turbine housing 30.
  • the turbine housing 30 there are a plurality of through-openings 32 through which incoming water can pass into the interior of the turbine housing, in which then a turbine wheel 34 rotates.
  • a sensor 36 see Fig.
  • the flowmeter 28 is designed such that only the flow of water to a right outlet side 40 of the inlet housing 18 is measured by him, but not the flow of water to a left outlet side 42 of the inlet housing 18 (see Fig. 4 ).
