Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drain fitting for a cistern according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a conventional toilet bowl has a rim-shaped circumferential, U-shaped profiled and downwardly open flush rim, in which lime deposits can set.
  • toilet bowls without rim are known in which the above U-shaped profiled flushing rim is omitted.
  • splashes of water may spill over the edge of the bowl during flushing. Such splashes of water can be avoided by a reduced flow rate of the rinse water flowing into the toilet bowl.
  • a generic waste set for a cistern is known, by means of which the volume flow of the rinsing water flowing into the toilet, that is, the per unit time from the cistern flowing rinse water, is adjustable.
  • the drain fitting has a housing in which a, in the axial direction stroke adjustable tube is arranged.
  • the tube is formed in a clothing high direction with a valve plate which is part of a drain valve.
  • a valve gap of the drain valve is opened.
  • the flushing water in the cistern can flow out of the flushing cistern via a flow path through at least one flow window formed in the drain fitting and through the opened valve gap.
  • a pop-up float tank is extended down to the flushing water volume setting with an annular wall, which is on the inside of the housing with the flow windows in Appendix.
  • the annular wall has four approximately corresponding to the flow windows through openings.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a waste set for a cistern, in which an adjustment of the amount of flushing water compared to the prior art is easier to carry out.
  • the invention is based on the fact that in the above prior art, the passage cross-section of the housing-side flow window can be varied by an elaborate rotational adjustment of the annular wall to adjust the flow rate of the flushing water flowing out of the cistern.
  • the drain assembly according to the characterizing part of claim 1, an adjustable deflecting element.
  • the deflecting element By adjusting the deflecting element, the flow path of the flushing water flowing out through the housing-side throughflow window can be adjusted, that is to say shortened or extended, in order to increase or reduce the flow velocity.
  • the deflecting element is spaced apart from the flow-through window with the formation of an annular gap with a radial distance.
  • the deflecting element may preferably be arranged radially outside the housing.
  • the deflecting element is arranged in a flushing water flow direction upstream of the housing-side flow window.
  • the deflecting element is also described as an additional component. can be prepared without having to modify the internal technology of the drain fitting (that is to say the float vessel in DE 30 08 524 C2 above). With the invention can thus be done manually from above easy to carry out adjustment of the drain set without disassembling the drain set.
  • the deflecting element is arranged substantially in alignment with the housing-side flow window.
  • the deflection element can preferably no longer be actuated by a rotary adjustment, but rather by a more easily realizable linear adjustment.
  • the deflection element may preferably be mounted on the drain fitting housing via a stroke adjustment unit and be manually adjustable with the aid of the stroke adjustment unit.
  • the Hubverstelltechnik can be designed so that, for example via detents a predetermined number of stroke positions is easily controlled, for example, a lower, a middle and an upper stroke position, or continuously by means of a threaded spindle, each set different lengths of flow paths of the effluent rinse water.
  • the deflecting element may be out of engagement with the housing-side flow window, that is spaced at a radial distance from the housing-side flow window, preferably with the formation of the above-mentioned annular gap, which is upstream of the flow window in the flow direction.
  • a turbulent flow pattern can be generated in the annular gap, which further increases the flow path of the outflowing rinse water.
  • the deflecting element can form a deflecting wall, which at least partially or continuously encloses the housing circumferentially.
  • the baffle can, viewed in the clothing vertical direction, at its lower edge have a deflection edge, which runs around the flow path of the flowing in the direction of the housing-side flow window rinse water.
  • the deflection wall can be have at least one passage opening, at the opening edge of a flow tab protrudes obliquely downwards.
  • the flow flap covers the passage opening at a predefined distance, forming a passage gap.
  • the flushing water flow path can thus fork up, into a first partial flow path extending through the deflection wall passage opening and into a second partial flow path extending around the deflection edge of the deflection wall.
  • the two partial flow paths can preferably be brought together again in the annular gap between the deflecting element and the housing-side throughflow window.
  • the rinse water flows through the housing-side flow windows in the direction of the toilet bowl.
  • the baffle may have passage openings through which the rinse water flows toward the housing-side flow windows.
  • the baffle can be made completely closed surface, that is, move the housing with its at least one flow window completely closed area.
  • the example hollow cylindrical housing of the drain fitting can go down to an annular shoulder (or a support flange) in a smaller-diameter drain pipe, which is in flow communication with a toilet bowl. It is preferred if the support flange (that is, the annular shoulder) projects beyond the deflection wall in the radial direction with a radial projection. In this case, the support flange of the housing in a double function at the same time also act as a lower housing-side axial stop.
  • the deflection wall may be in its lower closed position with its lower deflection in abutment with the housing-side Abstützflansch.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a waste fitting which can be mounted in a flushing cistern according to a first exemplary embodiment
  • Figure 2 is a partial sectional view of the drain set used in the cistern with a closed drain valve.
  • Fig. 3 to 5 are each partial views in which at different stroke positions of
  • FIG. 6 shows a perspective illustration of a waste fitting which can be mounted in a flushing cistern in accordance with a second exemplary embodiment
  • FIG. 7 shows the waste fitting with disassembled drain valve
  • a waste set is shown in a unique position, which has a hollow cylindrical housing 1, which merges at the bottom of an annular shoulder 2 in a smaller diameter drain pipe 3, which is not shown in flow communication with a toilet bowl.
  • the housing 1 is supported in the bottom 9 of a flushing cistern 11 in FIG. 2 with its annular shoulder 2 with the interposition of a seal 5 on an opening edge region of an outlet opening 7 (FIG. 2).
  • In the set-up direction z upward close to the annular shoulder 2 on the housing side flow openings 13, which are separated in the circumferential direction by evenly spaced dividers 15 (Fig. 1) from each other.
  • the hollow cylindrical deflecting element 33 has in FIG. 1 a lower annular wall 35 and at an axial distance an upper annular wall 37, which are connected to one another via axial webs 39.
  • the lower annular wall 35 acts when the drain valve 23 is open as a deflection wall, by means of which the flow path of the effluent rinse water can be extended / shortened.
  • the deflection wall 35 has passage openings 41 (FIGS.
  • the lower edge of the deflection wall 35 acts as a deflection edge 45 around which the flushing water flow path runs in the direction of the housing-side flow window 13.
  • the deflecting wall 35 of the deflecting element 33 is not in abutment with the outer peripheral wall of the housing 1, but rather spaced radially outwardly from its passage window 13, forming an annular gap 47 between the housing side Flow window 13 and the deflection wall 35.
  • the lower deflecting wall 35 and the respective one housing-side flow window 13 are arranged to each other in the radial direction Y without overlapping, so that the deflection 33 h in its stroke position in the lower stroke position hi (Fig. 4) is switched without function. 3 of the deflection element 33, however, provides a maximum flow path I to the housing-side flow windows 13, as will be described later.
  • the housing 1 is formed on the bottom side with an annular shoulder or a Abstützflansch 2, which in a mounting position, not shown, with the interposition of a seal on the bottom 9 of the cistern 11 can be supported (see FIG. 2).
  • the support flange 2 projects beyond the deflection wall 35 in the radial direction y with a radial projection Ay (FIG. 9).
  • the support flange 2 constitutes a lower housing-side axial stop, the h a closed position defined at the baffle 35, while an upper axial stop 53 is formed ( Figure 8 and 9) of the bottom of the discharge valve unit 18, the h upper open position to defined as shown in Fig. 8.
  • the deflection element 33 is thus arranged in a stroke-adjustable manner according to FIGS. 6 to 9 between the lower housing-side support flange 2 and the underside of the drain valve unit 18.
  • the drain valve unit 18 is supported in the figures 6, 8 and 9 on the upper side of the hollow cylindrical housing 1 and connected via a not shown, releasable tool-free locking connection with the housing 1.
  • the deflecting element 33 is arranged below the drain valve unit 18 and that the deflecting element is designed as a separate component decoupled from the drain valve unit 18.
  • End 59 of the drive spindle 55 is an annular groove not shown in detail, in which an opening edge of the passage opening of the holding bracket 57 protrudes with a slight movement play.
  • the drive spindle 55 is on the one hand rotatable, but on the other hand stored stationary in the axial direction.
  • an external thread 61 is formed on the drive spindle end piece 59, which is in threaded engagement with the internal thread of the threaded sleeve 63 already mentioned above, which together with the deflection wall 35 is part of the deflection element 33.
  • the baffle 35 is shown near its closed position h.
  • the closed position h to itself adjusts an indicated flushing water flow path IV, in which the flushing water flows from the top into the annular gap 47 between the radially inner housing 1 and the radially outer baffle 35 and then flows through the case-side flow window 13 in the outlet pipe 3 ,
