Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nozzle arrangement for a sanitary article, such as for a toilet bowl, a urinal, a washstand or a bathtub, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Nozzle arrangements for sanitary articles are known from the prior art.
- the EP 2 536 888 such a nozzle arrangement.
- a nozzle head is moved from a rear use position into a use position by inflowing water. If the water pressure drops, the nozzle head is reset by a compression spring.
- EP 2 536 888 A disadvantage of the technical teaching of EP 2 536 888 is that when the nozzle head moves, noise such as knocking can occur.
- EP 2 536 888 Another disadvantage of the technical teaching of EP 2 536 888 is that the reset takes place when the water pressure drops, which has the disadvantageous effect that water that is still in the nozzle can run on.
- the invention has for its object to provide a nozzle arrangement which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a particularly preferred object is to specify a nozzle arrangement, the noise formation of which is reduced when the nozzle head moves.
- a nozzle arrangement for a sanitary article comprises a pipe section with a rear pipe end, via which water can be introduced into the pipe section, and with a front pipe end, and a pipe section which is displaceably arranged in the pipe section from an initial position into a use position Nozzle head with a nozzle inlet and a nozzle outlet, the nozzle head with the nozzle outlet in the position of use protruding from the pipe section over the front pipe end. Due to the water flowing into the pipe section, a water pressure acts on the nozzle head and the nozzle head can be moved from the starting position into the use position by the water pressure.
- the nozzle head is moved out of the pipe section so that the nozzle outlet comes to rest at a distance from the pipe end. Furthermore, a restoring element acting on the nozzle head is arranged in such a way that the nozzle head can be reset from the position of use to the starting position when the water pressure drops.
- the nozzle arrangement further comprises at least one damping element which dampens the movement of the nozzle head.
- the arrangement of the damping element has the advantage that the movement of the nozzle head, which is provided by the water pressure or by the restoring element, can be delayed, which reduces the noise.
- the damping element is arranged in addition to the restoring element. This means that the damping element and the restoring element are provided by two different elements. The two elements can be implemented in a common structure or separately from one another.
- the restoring element itself can also provide a damping effect on the nozzle head. If the damping element is arranged such that when the nozzle head moves against the action of the restoring element, the damping element develops the damping effect, the damping effect of the restoring element and damping element is cumulated.
- the at least one damping element is arranged such that the movement of the nozzle head is damped from the position of use to the starting position. This has the advantage that the nozzle head is retarded, ie not immediately, when the water pressure drops. This allows the water to flow completely out of the nozzle head before it moves from the position of use to the starting position.
- the at least one damping element is arranged in such a way that the movement of the nozzle head from the initial position into the use position is damped.
- the damping effect as explained above, accumulates with the action of the restoring element, which is tensioned accordingly during the movement. This variant is advantageous if high water pressures are expected.
- the at least one damping element is arranged in such a way that the movement of the nozzle head from the position of use into the starting position is damped and that the movement of the nozzle head from the starting position into the position of use is damped.
- the damping element is a hydraulic damping element in which a liquid is displaced when the damping element moves, the liquid being the rinsing water flowing through the pipe section.
- This embodiment has the advantage that there is no need to provide a separation between the rinsing water and another damping medium.
- This embodiment has the further advantage that the damping element can be provided on the nozzle arrangement by simple structural measures.
- the damping element preferably has a water chamber, a plunger movably mounted in the water chamber and at least one through-flow opening, water flowing through the through-flow opening when the plunger moves relative to the fixed water chamber, and thus the movement between the plunger and Water chamber is steamed.
- the volume of the water chamber is increased when the plunger moves out of the water chamber and water will flow into the water chamber through the throughflow opening.
- the relative movement of the plunger in the water chamber is dampened by the flow conditions prevailing when the water flows in.
- the plunger When the plunger is pushed into the water chamber, the volume of the water chamber is reduced and the water flows out through the at least one flow opening. The movement is damped accordingly by flowing out of the at least one throughflow opening.
- the water chamber is preferably arranged on the nozzle head and the tappet is fixed in the pipe section and projects into the water chamber.
- the tappet has said at least one flow opening.
- a reverse arrangement is also conceivable.
- the plunger preferably bears against an insert fitted in the pipe section, the insert extending across the entire cross-section, seen transversely to the central axis, and having flow openings. The water in the pipe section is led through the flow openings to the nozzle head.
- the water chamber and the throughflow opening are preferably located centrally in the pipe section.
- the water chamber is preferably held in the middle of the water chamber via webs, a passage being formed between the webs, through which water is guided to the nozzle outlet.
- the restoring element is preferably a compression spring which surrounds the outside of the nozzle head and is clamped between a stop surface on the nozzle head and a stop surface on the pipe section, the stop surface of the nozzle head being moved to the stop surface of the pipe section when the nozzle head is moved into the position of use, as a result of which the compression spring is moved is excited.
- the restoring element and the damping element are integrally formed on a stop damper. At least one stop damper is arranged in the nozzle arrangement. A plurality of stop dampers are preferably distributed at uniform intervals around the circumference of the nozzle head.
- the second embodiment has the advantage that the reset element and the damping element are structurally integrated. This means that the two elements are realized on a single element. This increases the ease of assembly and maintenance.
- the at least one stop damper is mounted on the nozzle head and works together with a stop surface on the pipe section.
- the at least one stop damper is mounted on the pipe section and works together with a stop surface on the nozzle head.
- the stop damper preferably has a compression spring as a restoring element and a hydraulic damping element as a damping element.
- a liquid is displaced when the damping element moves, the liquid being oil or a liquid comprising oil.
- the stop damper preferably has a cylinder housing with a cylinder bore and a piston mounted in the cylinder bore, a bearing rod extending through the cylinder bore and projecting into the piston, the compression spring being mounted in an interior of the piston and on the bearing rod, such that the compression spring is compressed when the piston is inserted into the cylinder bore; and wherein the piston has flow openings through which a fluid present in the cylinder bore can flow, such that the movement of the piston is damped.
- the cylinder bore is sealed off from the outside.
- FIG. 1 Various embodiments of a nozzle arrangement 1 for a sanitary article are shown in the figures.
- the Figures 1 to 6 show a first embodiment and the Figures 7 to 20 show a second embodiment in two different variants.
- the nozzle arrangement 1 can be used in various ways. For example, as a nozzle arrangement for a washstand or as a nozzle arrangement for flushing in connection with a toilet bowl or with a urinal.
- the nozzle arrangement 1 comprises a pipe section 2 with a rear pipe end 3 and a front pipe end 4 and a nozzle head 5 with a nozzle inlet 6 and a nozzle outlet 26 arranged displaceably in the pipe section 2 from a starting position into a use position, the nozzle outlet 26 in FIG Use position protrudes from the pipe section 2 over the front pipe end 4.
- the pipe section can be connected to the sanitary ware.
- the rear pipe end 3 is typically connected to a water pipe. Water can be introduced into the pipe section 2 via the rear pipe end 3 and reaches the nozzle outlet 26 via the nozzle inlet 6. The water flowing into the pipe section 2 brings about a water pressure on the nozzle head 5.
- the nozzle head 5 is moved from the starting position into the Use position moved.
- a reset element 7 acting on the nozzle head 2 is arranged such that the nozzle head 2 can be reset from the position of use to the starting position when the water pressure drops. This means that if the water pressure drops, that is, if no water flows into the pipe section 2 via the rear pipe end 3 and acts on the nozzle head 5, the nozzle head is reset by the reset element 7 from the position of use to the starting position.
- the nozzle arrangement 1 has at least one damping element 8, which dampens the movement of the nozzle head 2.
- the damping element 8 can act in various ways. In the embodiments shown, the damping element 8 typically acts during the movement from the use position into the starting position and during the movement from the starting position into the use position. In other embodiments, it is also conceivable for the damping element to act only when moving in one of the two directions of movement.
- the arrangement of the at least one damping element 8 is advantageous since noises that occur can be reduced. This means that the noise generated when the nozzle head 5 strikes is dampened when the starting position or the use position is reached. Basically, the damping element delays the movement of the nozzle head 5. If the damping element is arranged in such a way that the movement from the position of use to the starting position is damped, this is ensured. that yourself the nozzle head 5 can completely empty in the position of use.
- the damping element 8 is a hydraulic damping element.
- a liquid is displaced during the movement of the damping element 8, the liquid being the rinsing water flowing through the pipe section 2.
- the rinse water is used directly as a hydraulic damping fluid.
- the nozzle head 5 is in the starting position. As soon as water enters the pipe section 2 along the arrow W via the rear pipe end 3, the nozzle head 5 is pushed from the starting position into the use position.
- the nozzle head 5 is shown in the position of use.
- the restoring element 7 is compressed accordingly and the nozzle head 5 is held accordingly in this position while the water pressure remains constant.
- the restoring element 7 can develop its effect and presses the nozzle head 5 from the position of use back into the starting position.
- the nozzle head 5 protrudes from the front pipe end 4 such that the nozzle outlet 26 protrudes from the front pipe end 4, so that water can be released from the nozzle outlet 26 to the sanitary article.
- the damping element 8 is arranged such that it dampens the movement of the nozzle head 2 from the position of use into the starting position and also dampens from the starting position into the position of use.
- the damping element 8 has a water chamber 9, a plunger 10 movably mounted in the water chamber 9 and at least one flow opening 11.
- the plunger 10 moves relative to the water chamber 9, water will flow through the at least one flow opening 11 and thus dampens the movement between the plunger 10 and the water chamber 9. This is independent of the direction of movement.
- the water chamber 9 is arranged in the nozzle head 5 and the plunger 10 protrudes into the water chamber 9.
- the tappet 10 is held stationary in the pipe section 2.
- the plunger 10 lies against an insert 12 lying in the tube section 2 and extends away from the insert 12.
- the insert 12 has flow openings 13 through which the water can flow. Between the flow openings 13 webs 27 are arranged, which hold the plunger 10 accordingly.
- the plunger 10 has the corresponding throughflow opening 11 on the front side.
- the nozzle head 5 has openings 30 in the area of the water chamber 9. The water can pass through these openings 30 laterally on the water chamber 9 from the nozzle inlet 6 to the nozzle inlet 26.
- the water chamber 9 has a depth T, which in the Figure 6 is drawn.
- the plunger 10 has a length L which is greater than the depth T.
- the depth T is smaller than the movement path B of the nozzle head 5 between the starting position and the position of use.
- the water is fed via the rear pipe end 3 to the nozzle head 5.
- the nozzle head 5 is moved forward and water enters the water chamber 9 through the flow opening 11.
- the water chamber 9 thus fills with water during the movement from the starting position into the use position. This provides a damping effect.
- the reset element 7 is tensioned.
- the nozzle head is in the position of use.
- the return spring 7 acts on the nozzle head 5 and presses it from the position of use into the starting position.
- the water, which is in the water chamber 9, will flow out through the throughflow opening 11 accordingly and be directed against the rear pipe end 3.
- This outflow of water through the throughflow opening 11 from the water chamber 9 dampens the movement from the use position into the starting position accordingly.
- This damping or delay means that the nozzle head 5 can be completely emptied when the inflowing water dries up accordingly via the rear pipe end 3.
- the return of the nozzle head 5 from the position of use to the starting position is correspondingly delayed by the damping element 8, so that the nozzle head 5 can be completely emptied.
- the return element 7 is a compression spring.
- the compression spring here completely surrounds the outside of the nozzle head 5 and is correspondingly clamped between a stop surface 14 on the nozzle head 5 and a stop surface 15 on the pipe section 2.
- the stop surface 14 of the nozzle head 5 is moved towards the stop surface 15 of the pipe section 2, whereby the compression spring is tensioned accordingly. This is in the Figures 1 to 6 shown accordingly.
- the nozzle arrangement comprises various seals.
- a first seal 28 is arranged in the area of the front pipe end 4 and lies between the pipe section 2 and the nozzle head 5.
- Another seal 29 is arranged in the rear area of the nozzle head 5 and forms a seal between the pipe section 2 and the nozzle head 5.

- FIG. 7 to 20 two different variants of a second embodiment are shown.
- the Figures 7 to 14 show a first variant and the Figures 15 to 20 a second variant.
- the restoring element 7 and the damping element 8 are integrally formed on a stop damper 16. That is, the reset element 7 and the damping element 8 are realized on a single element.
- At least one stop damper 16 is arranged in each case in the nozzle arrangement.
- essentially three stop dampers are arranged and in the second variant according to the Figures 15 to 20 a stop damper 16 is arranged.
- the basic functioning of the nozzle arrangement 1 according to the second embodiment is essentially identical to that of the first Embodiment.
- the nozzle head 5 When water flows in through the rear pipe end 3, the nozzle head 5 is moved from the starting position into the use position.
- the restoring element 7 is tensioned accordingly, so that the stop damper 16 with the restoring element 7 can provide a corresponding restoring force on the nozzle head 5.
- the stop damper 16 here comprises a cylinder housing 20 with a cylinder bore 21.
- a piston 22 is movably mounted in the cylinder bore 21.
- a bearing rod 23 extends through the cylinder bore 21 and projects into the piston 22.
- the bearing rod 23 is fixed in the cylinder bore 21.
- the compression spring 18 lies in an interior 25 of the piston 22 and is mounted on the bearing rod 23 projecting into the interior 25.
- the compression spring 18 is arranged such that the compression spring 18 is compressed when the piston 22 is inserted into the cylinder bore 21.
- the piston 22 also has a flow opening 24, through which a fluid present in the cylinder bore 21 can flow, such that the movement of the piston 22 is damped accordingly.
- an optional flexible element 34 is provided in front of the flow opening 24 in the interior 25, which element changes the cross section of the flow opening 24 and thus the flow rate depending on the flow direction.
- the fluid in turn has to flow through the flow opening 24, as a result of which this movement is damped accordingly. That is, the effect of the compression spring 18 is damped and the return from the Use position in the starting position of the nozzle head 5 is slightly delayed with the same effects as described above with the first embodiment.
- three stop damper 16 mounted on an insert 31.
- the insert 31 can be inserted into the pipe section 2 and is movably mounted in the pipe section 2.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Düsenanordnung für einen Sanitärartikel, wie beispielsweise für eine Toilettenschüssel, ein Urinal, ein Waschtisch oder eine Badewanne, nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a nozzle arrangement for a sanitary article, such as for a toilet bowl, a urinal, a washstand or a bathtub, according to the preamble of
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Düsenanordnungen für Sanitärartikel bekannt. Beispielsweise offenbart die
Nachteilig an der technischen Lehre der
Ein weiterer Nachteil an der technischen Lehre der
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung eine Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Düsenanordnung anzugeben, welche die Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet. Eine besonders bevorzugte Aufgabe ist es, eine Düsenanordnung anzugeben, deren Geräuschbildung bei der Bewegung des Düsenkopfes reduziert ist.Starting from this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide a nozzle arrangement which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. A particularly preferred object is to specify a nozzle arrangement, the noise formation of which is reduced when the nozzle head moves.
Diese Aufgabe löst der Gegenstand nach Anspruch 1. Demgemäss umfasst eine Düsenanordnung für einen Sanitärartikel ein Rohrabschnitt mit einem hinteren Rohrende, über welches Wasser in den Rohrabschnitt einleitbar ist, und mit einem vorderen Rohrende, und ein im Rohrabschnitt von einer Ausgangslage in eine Gebrauchslage verschiebbar angeordneter Düsenkopf mit einem Düseneinlass und einem Düsenauslass, wobei der Düsenkopf mit dem Düsenauslass in der Gebrauchslage aus dem Rohrabschnitt über das vordere Rohrende herausragt. Durch das in den Rohrabschnitt einströmende Wasser wirkt ein Wasserdruck auf den Düsenkopf und der Düsenkopf ist durch den Wasserdruck von der Ausgangslage in die Gebrauchslage verfahrbar. Der Düsenkopf wird dabei aus dem Rohrabschnitt hinaus bewegt, so dass der Düsenauslass beabstandet zum Rohrende zu liegen kommt. Weiter ist ein auf den Düsenkopf wirkendes Rückstellelement derart angeordnet, dass der Düsenkopf bei wegfallendem Wasserdruck von der Gebrauchslage in die Ausgangslage rückstellbar ist. Die Düsenanordnung umfasst weiterhin mindestens ein Dämpfungselement, welches die Bewegung des Düsenkopfes dämpft.This object is achieved by the object according to
Durch die Anordnung des Dämpfungselementes ergeht der Vorteil, dass die Bewegung des Düsenkopfes, welche durch den Wasserdruck oder durch das Rückstellelement bereitgestellt wird, verzögert werden kann, was die Geräuschbildung herabsetzt.The arrangement of the damping element has the advantage that the movement of the nozzle head, which is provided by the water pressure or by the restoring element, can be delayed, which reduces the noise.
Das Dämpfungselement ist zusätzlich zum Rückstellelement angeordnet. Das heisst, dass das Dämpfungselement und das Rückstellelement durch zwei voneinander unterschiedliche Elemente bereitgestellt werden. Die beiden Elemente können in einer gemeinsamen Struktur oder aber separat zueinander verwirklicht sein.The damping element is arranged in addition to the restoring element. This means that the damping element and the restoring element are provided by two different elements. The two elements can be implemented in a common structure or separately from one another.
Wenn der Düsenkopf gegen die Wirkung des Rückstellelementes bewegt wird, kann das Rückstellelement selbst auch eine Dämpfungswirkung auf den Düsenkopf bereitstellen. Sofem das Dämpfungselement derart angeordnet ist, dass bei einer Bewegung des Düsenkopfs gegen die Wirkung des Rückstellelementes das Dämpfungselement die Dämpfungswirkung entfaltet, so wird die Dämpfungswirkung von Rückstellelement und Dämpfungselement kumuliert.If the nozzle head is moved against the action of the restoring element, the restoring element itself can also provide a damping effect on the nozzle head. If the damping element is arranged such that when the nozzle head moves against the action of the restoring element, the damping element develops the damping effect, the damping effect of the restoring element and damping element is cumulated.
In einer ersten Variante ist das mindestens eine Dämpfungselement derart angeordnet, dass die Bewegung des Düsenkopfes von der Gebrauchslage in die Ausgangslage gedämpft wird. Hierdurch ergeht der Vorteil, dass bei Wegfallen des Wasserdruckes der Düsenkopf verzögert, das heisst nicht sofort, zurückgestellt wird. Hierdurch kann das Wasser vollständig aus dem Düsenkopf ausfliessen, bevor dieser sich von der Gebrauchslage in die Ausgangslage bewegt.In a first variant, the at least one damping element is arranged such that the movement of the nozzle head is damped from the position of use to the starting position. This has the advantage that the nozzle head is retarded, ie not immediately, when the water pressure drops. This allows the water to flow completely out of the nozzle head before it moves from the position of use to the starting position.
In einer zweiten Variante ist das mindestens eine Dämpfungselement derart angeordnet, dass die Bewegung des Düsenkopfes von der Ausgangslage in die Gebrauchslage gedämpft wird. In dieser Ausführungsform kumuliert sich die Dämpfungswirkung wie oben erläutert mit der Wirkung des Rückstellelementes, welches bei der Bewegung entsprechend gespannt wird. Diese Variante ist vorteilhaft, wenn hohe Wasserdrücke zu erwarten sind.In a second variant, the at least one damping element is arranged in such a way that the movement of the nozzle head from the initial position into the use position is damped. In this embodiment, the damping effect, as explained above, accumulates with the action of the restoring element, which is tensioned accordingly during the movement. This variant is advantageous if high water pressures are expected.
In einer dritten Variante ist das mindestens eine Dämpfungselement derart angeordnet, dass die Bewegung des Düsenkopfes von der Gebrauchslage in die Ausgangslage gedämpft wird und dass die Bewegung des Düsenkopfes von der Ausgangslage in die Gebrauchslage gedämpft wird. Hier kombinieren sich die Vorteile der ersten und der zweiten Variante.In a third variant, the at least one damping element is arranged in such a way that the movement of the nozzle head from the position of use into the starting position is damped and that the movement of the nozzle head from the starting position into the position of use is damped. The advantages of the first and the second variant are combined here.
In einer ersten Ausführungsform ist das Dämpfungselement ein hydraulisches Dämpfungselement, bei welchem eine Flüssigkeit bei der Bewegung des Dämpfungselementes verdrängt wird, wobei die Flüssigkeit das durch den Rohrabschnitt hindurchfliessende Spülwasser ist. Diese Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, dass keine Trennung zwischen dem Spülwasser und einem anderen Dämpfungsmedium bereitgestellt werden muss. Diese Ausführungsform hat den weiteren Vorteil, dass das Dämpfungselement durch einfache bauliche Massnahmen an der Düsenanordnung bereitgestellt werden kann.In a first embodiment, the damping element is a hydraulic damping element in which a liquid is displaced when the damping element moves, the liquid being the rinsing water flowing through the pipe section. This embodiment has the advantage that there is no need to provide a separation between the rinsing water and another damping medium. This embodiment has the further advantage that the damping element can be provided on the nozzle arrangement by simple structural measures.
Vorzugsweise weist das Dämpfungselement eine Wasserkammer, einen in der Wasserkammer bewegbar gelagerten Stössel und mindestens eine Durchströmöffnung auf, wobei bei einer Relativbewegung des Stössels zur feststehenden Wasserkammer Wasser durch die Durchströmöffnung strömt und somit die Bewegung zwischen Stössel und Wasserkammer gedämpft wird.The damping element preferably has a water chamber, a plunger movably mounted in the water chamber and at least one through-flow opening, water flowing through the through-flow opening when the plunger moves relative to the fixed water chamber, and thus the movement between the plunger and Water chamber is steamed.
Wenn der Stössel vollständig in der Wasserkammer liegt, wird bei der Bewegung des Stössels aus der Wasserkammer das Volumen der Wasserkammer vergrössert und Wasser wird durch die Durchströmöffnung in die Wasserkammer einfliessen. Durch die beim Einfliessen des Wassers herrschenden Strömungsverhältnisse wird die Relativbewegung des Stössels in der Wasserkammer gedämpft.If the plunger is completely in the water chamber, the volume of the water chamber is increased when the plunger moves out of the water chamber and water will flow into the water chamber through the throughflow opening. The relative movement of the plunger in the water chamber is dampened by the flow conditions prevailing when the water flows in.
Wenn der Stössel in die Wasserkammer eingeschoben wird, so verkleinert sich das Volumen der Wasserkammer und das Wasser fliesst über die mindestens eine Durchströmöffnung aus. Durch das Ausfliessen aus der mindestens einen Durchströmöffnung wird die Bewegung entsprechend gedämpft.When the plunger is pushed into the water chamber, the volume of the water chamber is reduced and the water flows out through the at least one flow opening. The movement is damped accordingly by flowing out of the at least one throughflow opening.
Der Stössel und die Wasserkammer können verschiedenartig angeordnet sein:
- In einer Variante sind die Wasserkammer und der Stössel derart angeordnet, dass wenn der Düsenkopf in der Gebrauchslage liegt, der Stössel vollständig in der Wasserkammer liegt, wobei die Wasserkammer bei der Ausfahrbewegung des Stössels mit Wasser, das durch die mindestens eine Durchströmöffnung in die Wasserkammer einströmt, befüllt wird und wobei das Wasser bei der Rückstellbewegung durch die mindestens eine Durchströmöffnung aus der Wasserkammer ausfliessen kann.
- In einer anderen Variante sind die Wasserkammer und der Stössel derart angeordnet, dass wenn der Düsenkopf in der Ausgangslage liegt, der Stössel vollständig in der Wasserkammer liegt, wobei die Wasserkammer bei der Ausfahrbewegung des Stössels mit Wasser, das durch die mindestens eine Durchströmöffnung in die Wasserkammer einströmt, befüllt wird und wobei das Wasser bei der Bewegung von der Gebrauchslage in die Ausgangslage durch die mindestens eine Durchströmöffnung aus der Wasserkammer ausfliessen kann.
- In a variant, the water chamber and the plunger are arranged in such a way that when the nozzle head is in the position of use, the plunger lies completely in the water chamber, the water chamber during the extension movement of the plunger with water flowing into the water chamber through the at least one throughflow opening , is filled and the water can flow out of the water chamber during the return movement through the at least one flow opening.
- In another variant, the water chamber and the plunger are arranged such that when the nozzle head is in the starting position, the plunger lies completely in the water chamber, the water chamber during the extension movement of the plunger with water flowing through the at least one throughflow opening into the water chamber flows in, is filled and the water can flow out of the water chamber during the movement from the use position into the starting position through the at least one throughflow opening.

Das Rückstellelement ist vorzugsweise eine Druckfeder, welche den Düsenkopf aussenseitig umgibt und zwischen einer Anschlagsfläche am Düsenkopf und einer Anschlagsfläche am Rohrabschnitt eingespannt ist, wobei bei der Bewegung des Düsenkopfes in die Gebrauchslage, die Anschlagsfläche des Düsenkopfes zur Anschlagsfläche des Rohrabschnittes bewegt wird, wodurch die Druckfeder gespannt wird.The restoring element is preferably a compression spring which surrounds the outside of the nozzle head and is clamped between a stop surface on the nozzle head and a stop surface on the pipe section, the stop surface of the nozzle head being moved to the stop surface of the pipe section when the nozzle head is moved into the position of use, as a result of which the compression spring is moved is excited.
In einer zweiten Ausführungsform sind das Rückstellelement und das Dämpfungselement integriert an einem Anschlagsdämpfer ausgebildet. In der Düsenanordnung ist mindestens ein Anschlagsdämpfer angeordnet. Vorzugsweise sind mehrere Anschlagsdämpfer in gleichmässigen Abständen um den Umfang des Düsenkopfes verteilt angeordnet. Die zweite Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, dass das Rückstellelement und das Dämpfungselement strukturell integriert sind. Das heisst die beiden Elemente sind an einem einzigen Element verwirklicht. Dies erhöht die Montage- und Wartungsfreundlichkeit.In a second embodiment, the restoring element and the damping element are integrally formed on a stop damper. At least one stop damper is arranged in the nozzle arrangement. A plurality of stop dampers are preferably distributed at uniform intervals around the circumference of the nozzle head. The second embodiment has the advantage that the reset element and the damping element are structurally integrated. This means that the two elements are realized on a single element. This increases the ease of assembly and maintenance.

Die Düsenanordnung 1 umfasst in allen Ausführungsformen einen Rohrabschnitt 2 mit einem hinteren Rohrende 3 und einem vorderen Rohrende 4 und ein im Rohrabschnitt 2 von einer Ausgangslage in eine Gebrauchslage verschiebbar angeordneter Düsenkopf 5 mit einem Düseneinlass 6 und einem Düsenauslass 26, wobei der Düsenauslass 26 in der Gebrauchslage aus dem Rohrabschnitt 2 über das vordere Rohrende 4 herausragt. Der Rohrabschnitt kann mit dem Sanitärartikel verbunden werden. Das hintere Rohrende 3 steht typischerweise mit einer Wasserleitung in Verbindung. Wasser ist über das hintere Rohrende 3 in den Rohrabschnitt 2 einleitbar und gelangt über den Düseneinlass 6 zum Düsenauslass 26. Das in den Rohrabschnitt 2 einströmende Wasser bewirkt einen Wasserdruck auf den Düsenkopf 5. Dabei wird der Düsenkopf 5 durch den Wasserdruck von der Ausgangslage in die Gebrauchslage bewegt.In all embodiments, the
Weiter ist ein auf den Düsenkopf 2 wirkendes Rückstelleelement 7 derart angeordnet, dass der Düsenkopf 2 bei wegfallendem Wasserdruck von der Gebrauchslage in die Ausgangslage rückstellbar ist. Das heisst, dass wenn der Wasserdruck wegfällt, also wenn kein Wasser über das hintere Rohrende 3 in den Rohrabschnitt 2 einströmt und auf dem Düsenkopf 5 wirkt, der Düsenkopf durch das Rückstellelement 7 von der Gebrauchslage in die Ausgangslage zurückgestellt wird.Furthermore, a
Weiter weist die Düsenanordnung 1 mindestens ein Dämpfungselement 8 auf, welches die Bewegung des Düsenkopfes 2 dämpft. Das Dämpfungselement 8 kann verschiedenartig wirken. In den gezeigten Ausführungsformen wirkt das Dämpfungselement 8 typischerweise bei der Bewegung von der Gebrauchslage in die Ausgangslage und bei der Bewegung von der Ausgangslage in die Gebrauchslage. In anderen Ausführungsformen ist es auch denkbar, dass das Dämpfungselement nur bei der Bewegung in eine der beiden Bewegungsrichtungen wirkt.Furthermore, the
Die Anordnung des mindestens einen Dämpfungselementes 8 ist vorteilhaft, da auftretende Geräusche reduziert werden können. Das heisst, dass die Geräuschbildung beim Aufschlagen des Düsenkopfes 5 bei Erreichen der Ausgangslage oder der Gebrauchslage gedämpft wird. Grundsätzlich verzögert das Dämpfungselement die Bewegung des Düsenkopfes 5. Wenn das Dämpfungselement derart angeordnet ist, dass die Bewegung von der Gebrauchslage in die Ausgangslage gedämpft wird, wird sichergestellt. dass sich der Düsenkopf 5 in der Gebrauchslage vollständig entleeren kann.The arrangement of the at least one damping

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das Rückstellelement 7 eine Druckfeder. Die Druckfeder umgibt hier den Düsenkopf 5 aussenseitig vollständig und ist zwischen einer Anschlagsfläche 14 am Düsenkopf 5 und einer Anschlagsfläche 15 am Rohrabschnitt 2 entsprechend eingespannt. Bei der Bewegung des Düsenkopfs 5 in die Gebrauchslage wird die Anschlagsfläche 14 des Düsenkopfes 5 zur Anschlagsfläche 15 des Rohrabschnittes 2 hinbewegt, wodurch die Druckfeder entsprechend gespannt wird. Dies wird in den
Weiterhin umfasst die Düsenanordnung verschiedene Dichtungen. Eine erste Dichtung 28 ist im Bereich des vorderen Rohrendes 4 angeordnet und liegt zwischen dem Rohrabschnitt 2 und dem Düsenkopf 5. Eine weitere Dichtung 29 ist im hinteren Bereich des Düsenkopfes 5 angeordnet und bildet eine Dichtung zwischen dem Rohrabschnitt 2 und dem Düsenkopf 5. Die beiden Dichtungen 28 und 29 bilden im Wesentlichen einen Dichtungsabschnitt in welchem das Rückstellelement 7 angeordnet werden kann.Furthermore, the nozzle arrangement comprises various seals. A
