Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sanitary fitting that serves the needs of providing a mixed water to a sink, sink, shower and / or bath.
  • Sanitary fittings have a fitting housing made of (cast) metal and / or plastic, in which a mixing valve is arranged regularly, by means of which a cold water and a hot water are mixed to a mixed water.
  • the mixing valve may be, for example, a mixing cartridge or thermostatic mixing cartridge which serves to adjust at least one property of the mixed water, such as a desired mixed water temperature, a mixed water pressure or a flow rate of the mixed water.
  • the mixing valve can be actuated, for example, by a lever of the sanitary fitting.
  • a disadvantage of the known sanitary fittings that the actual property of the mixed water may differ from the set property, so that, for example, a risk of scalding for a user of the sanitary fitting consists.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to solve the problems described with reference to the prior art, at least partially, and in particular to provide a sanitary fitting, in which a deviation of the actual property of the mixed water is determined by the desired property.
  • a method for controlling a mixing valve of a sanitary fitting is to be specified, by means of which a deviation of the actual property of the mixed water of the desired property of the mixed water can be prevented.
  • a method for producing a sanitary fitting is to be specified, with which a sanitary fitting can be produced, in which a deviation of the actual property of the mixed water is determined by the desired property of the mixed water.
  • the sanitary fitting serves to provide water to a sink, sink, shower and / or bath.
  • the sanitary fitting has a fitting housing which is preferably at least partially made of (cast) metal, such as brass, and / or plastic.
  • the fitting housing may have an outlet, which is rigid or movable, in particular pivotable and / or at least partially extendable, attached to the fitting housing.
  • the sanitary fitting has a mixing valve for mixing a cold water and a hot water to a mixed water, wherein it may be, for example, a mixing cartridge or thermostatic cartridge in the mixing valve.
  • the mixing valve is, for example by an actuator, such as a lever and / or an electric actuator, the sanitary fitting operable.
  • the at least one property may be, for example, a mixed water temperature of the mixed water.
  • a mixing ratio between the cold water, which has a cold water temperature, and a hot water, which has a hot water temperature adjustable by means of the actuator, so that the mixing valve mixes the mixed water with a desired mixed water temperature.
  • the cold water temperature is in particular at most 25 ° C (Celsius), preferably 1 ° C to 25 ° C, more preferably 5 ° C to 20 ° C and / or the hot water temperature in particular at most 90 ° C, preferably 25 ° C to 90 ° C, more preferably 55 ° C to 65 ° C.
  • the sanitary fitting has a mixed water channel, through which the mixed water from the mixing valve through the outlet of the valve body to a removal opening of the sanitary fitting is passed.
  • a sensor for determining the at least one property of the mixed water is arranged.
  • the sensor is located outside of the mixed water channel, so that the sensor can not come into (direct) contact with the mixed water in the mixed water channel.
  • the sensor can be embedded in the mixed water channel or in a hose line of the mixed water channel and / or poured, so that it comes into contact with mixed water or not with mixed water.
  • the sensor can also be arranged in the mixed water channel. It can thus be determined by the sensor whether the mixed water flowing through the mixed water channel to the removal opening actually has the desired at least one property that has been set, for example, by the user via the actuator. In the case of a deviation of the actual or measured property of the mixed water from the desired property, the user can be warned acoustically and / or visually, for example.
  • the mixed water channel is designed as a hose line and the sensor (outside) is fastened to the hose line.
  • the sensor can be attached to the hose assembly in the fitting housing before assembly of the hose and can be mounted together with the hose in the fitting housing. In this way, the installation effort of the sensor can be reduced in the sanitary fitting.
  • the hose line may be, for example, a plastic line.
  • the hose is particularly flexible or elastically deformable.
  • the senor surrounds the mixed water channel. This may mean that the mixed water channel extends through the sensor.
  • the sensor may comprise a plurality of measuring points, which are distributed, for example, in the circumferential direction of the mixed water channel.
  • the senor is arranged in a cavity of the fitting housing. This means in particular that the sensor was not poured into the material of the valve body in the manufacture of the valve body.
  • the senor is not (directly or directly) in contact with the mixed water during operation of the sanitary fitting.
  • the sensor is not (directly or directly) in contact with the mixed water during operation of the sanitary fitting.
  • corrosion and / or other negative influences of the mixed water on the sensor can be prevented.
  • the mixed water temperature, a mixed water pressure or a flow rate of the mixed water can be determined.
  • several properties of the mixed water can be determined by means of the sensor, for example the mixed water temperature, the mixed water pressure and / or the flow rate of the mixed water.
  • the mixed water channel can also have a plurality of sensors, the z. B. outside over its circumference and / or axial extent can be arranged.
  • the senor is connected via a running through the fitting housing cable with a power source.
  • the energy source may be, for example, a battery, a power supply or a public power grid.
  • the sanitary fitting has a display by means of which the property of the mixed water determined by the sensor can be displayed.
  • the display can be any element by means of which the property of the mixed water determined by the sensor, such as, for example, a mixed water quality, mixed water flow and / or mixed water temperature, can be displayed. This allows a user of the sanitary fitting directly determine whether the actual properties of the mixed water match the desired properties.
  • the display may be, for example, an LCD display.
  • a method of controlling a mixing valve of the described sanitary fitting wherein the mixing valve is controlled on the basis of a property of a mixed water determined by a sensor of the sanitary fitting.
  • the senor can be connected to a controller, for example in the manner of a microprocessor or microcontroller, by means of which a deviation of the at least one property of the mixed water determined by the sensor from the set by means of the actuator at least one property of the mixed water can be determined.
  • the controller can actuate the mixing valve, for example by means of an electric drive, until the at least one determined by the sensor Property of mixed water with the set at least one property of the mixed water matches.
  • the control of the mixing valve by means of the controller can be carried out automatically and / or continuously.
  • step a) a provision of the fitting housing takes place at a mounting location of the sanitary fitting.
  • step b) the mixing valve for mixing the cold water and the hot water is attached to the mixed water having the mixed water temperature in the fitting body. The attachment can be done for example via an adhesive connection, clamping connection, locking connection and / or screw in the fitting housing.
  • step c) the sensor for determining a property of the mixed water is attached to a mixed water channel before the mixed water channel has been positioned in the fitting housing. The positioning of the mixed water channel in the fitting housing takes place in step d) only after the sensor, in particular on an outer peripheral surface of the mixed water channel, has been fastened to the mixed water channel.
  • the attachment of the sensor can be done via an adhesive connection, clamp connection, snap connection and / or screw connection.
  • Step e) is in particular a first longitudinal end of the mixed water channel with the mixing valve and a second longitudinal end of the mixed water channel connected to the discharge opening of the outlet, so that the mixed water during use of the sanitary fitting from the mixing valve to the removal opening is conductive.
  • Fig. 1 shows an example and schematically a sanitary fitting.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a representation of a sanitary fitting 1, in which an inner region of a fitting housing 2 of the sanitary fitting 1 is partially visible.
  • a mixing valve 4 is arranged, to which via a first supply line 13 cold water and via a second supply line 14 hot water can be fed.
  • the cold water and the hot water are miscible by the mixing valve 4 to a mixed water having a desired mixed water temperature.
  • the mixing valve 4 can be actuated by means of a lever 12 formed as an actuating means.
  • sanitary fitting 1 is thus a Einhebelsanitmaschinetur.
  • the mixed water can be passed from the mixing valve 4 via the mixed water channel 5 through an outlet 3 of the fitting housing 2 to a removal opening 6 of the sanitary fitting 1.
  • a hose 8 which extends through a cavity 9 of the valve body 2.
  • a sensor 7 is arranged in the cavity 9 of the valve body 2, which completely surrounds the mixed water channel 5.
  • the sensor 7 is at least one property, in particular the Mixed water temperature, the mixed water pressure and / or the flow rate of the mixed water flowing through the mixed water channel 5 determinable.
  • the latter is connected to an energy source 10 via a cable 16 running through the fitting housing 2.
  • the senor 7 is connected in a data-conducting manner with a display 11 via a control not shown here, so that the at least one property of the mixed water determined by the sensor 7 can be visually displayed to a user.
  • the sensor 7 was also attached before the positioning of the mixed water channel 5 in the fitting housing 2 on the outer peripheral surface 15 of the mixed water channel 5 and then positioned together with the mixed water channel 5 in the fitting housing 2.
  • a deviation of an actual property of the mixed water from a desired and / or set property can be determined and / or corrected.
