Description
[0022] The invention and the technical environment are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures. It should be noted that the figures show a particularly preferred embodiment variant of the invention, but the invention is not limited thereto. The same reference signs are used for the same components in the figures. Shown in an exemplary and schematic manner are in:
[0023] FIG. 1 a sanitary fitting;
[0024] FIG. 2 a two-way valve of the sanitary fitting;
[0025] FIG. 3 a sectional view of the two-way valve in a first operating position;
[0026] FIG. 4 a sectional view of the two-way valve in a second operating position;
[0027] FIG. 5 a sectional view of the two-way valve in a third operating position; and
[0028] FIG. 6 the two-way valve in the first operating position with the actuator depicted.
[0029] FIG. 1 shows a sanitary fitting 1. The sanitary fitting 1 comprises a fitting body 2, the outlet 34 of which has a first spray plate 3 and a second spray plate 4. A mixing valve 18 is arranged in the fitting body 2, to which cold water at a cold-water temperature can be routed via a cold-water line 19 and to which hot water can be routed at a hot-water temperature via a hot-water line 20. The mixing valve 18 can be used to mix the cold water and the hot water can be mixed to form a mixed water having a desired mixed-water temperature. For actuating the mixing valve 18, the sanitary fitting 1 has a first actuating element 21, which is designed in the manner of a lever in this case. The actuating element 21 can be used to adjust the mixed-water temperature and a volume flow of the mixed water. The mixing valve 18 can be routed to a two-way valve 5 via a mixed-water channel 22. The two-way valve 5 can be used to route the mixed water optionally to the first spray plate 3 and/or the second spray plate 4. For this purpose, a first outlet 8 of the two-way valve 5 is connected to the first spray plate 3 via a first outlet line 23 and a second outlet 10 is connected to the second spray plate 4 via a second outlet line 24. The sanitary fitting 1 has a second actuating element 33 for actuating the two-way valve 5, which is designed in the manner of a pushbutton in this case. The second actuating element 33 may be connected in a data-conducting manner to a control system of an actuator 26 shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, which is not shown here.
[0030] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the two-way valve 5. The two-way valve 5 comprises a valve body 25 including the first outlet 8 and the second outlet 10. A valve body 6, not shown here, is arranged in the valve housing 25 and is rotatably mounted by an actuator 26 about an axis of rotation 11, also not shown here.
[0031] FIG. 3 shows a sectional view the two-way valve 5 in a first operating position. The valve body 6 is shown arranged in the valve housing 25. The valve body 6 has a first valve body arm 15 having a first sealing surface 12 and a second valve body arm 16 having a second sealing surface 13. The first sealing surface 12 and the second sealing surface 13 form a first angle 14, which in this case is (approximately) 45°. In addition, the first valve body arm 15 and the second valve body arm 16 form a second angle 17, which is also (approximately) 45° in this case. The valve body 6 is therefore V-shaped. In the first operating position shown here, the valve body 6 is rotated about the axis of rotation 11 (clockwise) against a first valve seat 7 of the first outlet 8, such that the first sealing surface 12 closes a first outlet channel 27 of the first outlet 8. The valve housing 25 of the two-way valve 5 has an inlet 29, which can be connected to the mixed-water channel 22 shown in FIG. 1, i.e. the mixed water can flow into the valve housing 25 via the inlet 29. However, because the first outlet 8 is closed, the liquid can only leave the two-way valve 5 via a second outlet channel 28 of the second outlet 10, such that in the first operating position of the two-way valve 5, the mixed water can be routed to the second spray plate 4 via the second outlet line 24 shown in FIG. 1. The first outlet 8 and the second outlet 10 are mirror images of each other, i.e., the first outlet channel 1 of the first outlet 8 and the second outlet channel 28 of the second outlet 10 extend in parallel to each other. The axis of rotation 11 is arranged between the first outlet 8 and the second outlet 10 or between the first outlet channel 27 and the second outlet channel 28.
[0032] FIG. 4 shows a second operating position of the two-way valve 5. In the second operating position, the valve body 6 is in a center position, in which the valve body 6 closes neither the first outlet 8 nor the second outlet 10. In this way, the mixed water flowing to the valve body 25 via the inlet 29 can exit the two-way valve 5 via both the first outlet 8 and the second outlet 10. Thus, the mixed water is routed to both the first spray plate 3 and the second spray plate 4 via the first outlet line 23 and the second outlet line 24 shown in FIG. 1.
[0033] FIG. 5 shows a third operating position of the two-way valve 5. In the third operating position, the valve body 6 was rotated counterclockwise against a second valve seat 9 of the second outlet 10 such that the second sealing surface 13 closes the second outlet channel 28 of the second outlet 10. As a result, the mixed water flowing to the valve body 25 via the inlet 29 can only exit the two-way valve 5 via the first outlet 8. Thus, in the third operating position of the two-way valve 5, the mixed water can be routed (only) to the first spray plate 3 via the first outlet line 23 shown in FIG. 1.
[0034] FIG. 6 shows a sectional view of the two-way valve 5 in the first operating position with the actuator 26. The valve body 6 has a valve body axis 30, with which the valve body 6 can rotate about the axis of rotation 11. The valve body axis 30 is connected non-rotatably to a rotary lever 30, which has a link 31. A sliding block 32 of the actuator 26 engages with the link 31 such that the valve body 6 can be rotated by the actuator 26 between the first valve seat 7 and the second valve seat 9.
[0035] In particular, this invention makes for a particularly compact design of a sanitary fitting.
