Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Spülbecken mit Wasserarmatur, wobei das Spülbecken eine Wanne mit Wannenboden und umlaufender Seitenwandung aufweist, und wobei die Wasserarmatur einen Wasserauslauf umfasst.The invention relates to a sink with water fitting, wherein the sink has a tub with tub bottom and circumferential side wall, and wherein the water fitting comprises a water outlet.

Derartige Spülbecken mit Wasserarmatur sind im Küchenbereich gängig und in vielen Ausführungsformen bekannt. Herkömmliche Spülbecken mit Wasserarmatur umfassen dabei beispielsweise einen bogenförmig ausgebildeten Hahn als Wasserauslauf, auch Duschköpfe werden für diese Funktion eingesetzt. Im Sinne der Erfindung soll der Begriff "Wanne" auch die in der Gastronomie üblicherweise verwendeten Gastronorm (GN)-Behälter umfassen, insbesondere solche der GN-Größe 1/1 (Außenmaß 325 mm x 530 mm), die in unterschiedlichen Tiefen erhältlich sind und die in übliche Gastronomie-Spülstationen einsetzbar sind.Such sinks with water faucet are common in the kitchen and known in many embodiments. Conventional sinks with water fittings include, for example, an arcuate tap as a water spout, shower heads are used for this function. For the purposes of the invention, the term "tub" is also intended to include the Gastronorm (GN) containers commonly used in catering, in particular those of GN size 1/1 (external dimensions 325 mm x 530 mm), which are available in different depths and which can be used in usual catering rinsing stations.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein verbessertes Spülbecken mit Wasserarmatur zur Verfügung zu stellen, wobei sowohl eine komfortable Bedienung als auch ein sparsamer Umfang mit Wasser ermöglicht werden soll.It is the object of the present invention to provide an improved sink with water fitting available, both a comfortable operation as well as an economical scope to be made possible with water.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Spülbecken mit Wasserarmatur nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a sink with water fitting according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass bei einem Spülbecken mit Wasserarmatur gemäß der eingangs genannten Gattung der Wasserauslauf als zumindest ein die Wanne in Betriebsposition überspannender Bügel ausgebildet ist, dessen Enden am oberen Beckenrand des Spülbeckens angebracht sind. Obwohl es denkbar ist, mehrere Bügel zu verwenden, wird bei der Erfindung bevorzugt nur ein Bügel verwendet.According to the invention, it is provided that, in the case of a sink with a water fitting according to the aforementioned type, the water outlet is formed as at least one stirrup which spans the trough in the operating position, the ends of which are attached to the upper edge of the sink. Although it is conceivable to use a plurality of stirrups, only one stirrup is preferably used in the invention.

Dieser Bügel ist vorzugsweise am oberen Beckenrand des Spülbeckens schwenkbar angebracht. Je nach Form der Wanne sind verschiedene Positionen bevorzugt. Wenn die Wanne in Draufsicht kreisförmig ausgebildet ist, wird der Bügel so angeordnet, dass dessen Enden einen Durchmesser der kreisförmigen Wanne überspannen. Häufig in Gebrauch sind jedoch auch Wannen, die in Draufsicht rechtwinklig oder sogar quadratisch sind. Hier wird der Bügel dann vorzugsweise mittig an den Längsseiten oder Breitseiten der Wanne angebracht. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass, ebenso wie bei der Wanne mit kreisförmigem Schnitt, der Bügel um nahezu 180° verschwenkt werden kann, ohne dass befürchtet werden muss, dass austretendes Wasser aus der Wanne spritzt.This bracket is preferably pivotally mounted on the upper edge of the sink. Depending on the shape of the tub different positions are preferred. If the trough is circular in plan view, the bracket is arranged so that its ends span a diameter of the circular trough. However, wells that are rectangular or even square in plan view are often in use. Here, the bracket is then preferably mounted centrally on the long sides or broad sides of the tub. This has the advantage that, just as in the tub with a circular section, the bracket can be pivoted by almost 180 ° without having to fear that leaking water splashes out of the tub.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung umfasst der obere Beckenrand des Spülbeckens eine an den oberen Rand der Seitenwand anschließende Stufe. Diese Stufe kann die Wanne ganz oder teilweise umlaufen.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the upper edge of the basin of the sink comprises a subsequent to the upper edge of the side wall stage. This stage can completely or partially circulate the tub.

Vorzugsweise liegt dann in zumindest einer Position des Bügels dieser in der Stufe des oberen Beckenrandes. Die Abmessungen von Bügel und Stufe können so gewählt werden, dass der Bügel in dieser Position mit dem oberen Beckenrand und auch mit der Seitenwandung der Wanne fluchtet.Preferably then lies in at least one position of the bracket this in the stage of the upper edge of the pool. The dimensions of the bracket and step can be selected so that the bracket is in this position aligned with the upper edge of the pool and also with the side wall of the tub.

Die Einspeisung von Wasser wird vorzugsweise über jedes Ende des Bügels mit Hilfe eines entsprechenden Anschlusses gewährleistet.The feeding of water is preferably ensured via each end of the stirrup with the aid of a corresponding connection.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Bügel auf seiner Innenseite mit einer Vielzahl von Wasseraustrittsdüsen versehen. Diese können über die Länge des Bügels beliebig angeordnet sein.According to a preferred embodiment, the bracket is provided on its inside with a plurality of water outlet nozzles. These can be arranged arbitrarily over the length of the bracket.

Es ist aber bevorzugt, dass die Vielzahl von Wasseraustrittsdüsen in einen ersten Satz von Wasseraustrittsdüsen und in einen zweiten Satz von Wasseraustrittsdüsen aufgeteilt ist, wobei der erste Satz von Wasseraustrittsdüsen in einer oder mehreren Positionen des Bügels mit Wasser versorgt wird, in der bzw. in denen der zweite Satz von Wasseraustrittsdüsen nicht mit Wasser versorgt wird. Dies gibt die Möglichkeit, mehrere Arten des Wasseraustritts zu gestalten, beispielsweise als ein Wasserschleier, wenn Wasseraustrittsdüsen über die gesamte Länge des Bügels angeordnet sind, oder als Wasserfall mit beispielsweise einer zentral angeordneten, schlitzartigen Düse an der Innenseite des Bügels.However, it is preferred that the plurality of water discharge nozzles are divided into a first set of water discharge nozzles and a second set of water discharge nozzles, wherein the first set of water discharge nozzles are supplied with water in one or more positions of the stirrup in which the second set of water outlet nozzles is not supplied with water. This gives the possibility to design several types of water outlet, for example as a water curtain when water outlet nozzles over the entire Length of the bracket are arranged, or as a waterfall with, for example, a centrally located, slot-like nozzle on the inside of the bracket.

Bevorzugt weist die Wasserarmatur weiter eine Bedieneinheit auf, mit der Durchflussmenge und Temperatur des Wassers stufenlos einstellbar sind. Derartige Bedieneinheiten sind grundsätzlich bekannt, jedoch zieht die vorliegende Erfindung in Betracht, dass die Bedieneinheit mit dem Fuß eines Benutzers intuitiv zu bedienen ist, ohne sie visuell wahrnehmen zu müssen.Preferably, the water fitting further on an operating unit, with the flow rate and temperature of the water are infinitely adjustable. Such control units are basically known, but the present invention contemplates that the control unit is intuitive to operate with a user's foot without having to visually perceive it.

Dazu ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Bedieneinheit in zwei Dimensionen unabhängig verlagerbar ist, wobei die Verlagerung in der ersten Dimension die Durchflussmenge und die Verlagerung in der zweiten Dimension die Temperatur des Wassers einstellt.For this purpose, it is preferably provided that the operating unit is independently displaceable in two dimensions, wherein the displacement in the first dimension sets the flow rate and the displacement in the second dimension, the temperature of the water.

Durch die handfreie und intuitive Bedienung ist ein Höchstmaß an Bedienkomfort und Flexibilität bereitgestellt. Darüber hinaus erreicht man bei dieser Ausgestaltung eine Minimierung der Wasserlaufzeiten. Der Wasserfluss stoppt sofort nach Verlassen der beispielsweise als Fußraste ausgestalteten Bedieneinheit, wodurch eine hohe Effizienz erreicht und der Wasserverbrauch deutlich gemindert wird.The hands-free and intuitive operation provides maximum ease of use and flexibility. In addition, this embodiment achieves a minimization of the water run times. The water flow stops immediately after leaving the operating unit, which is designed as a footrest, for example, thus achieving high efficiency and significantly reducing water consumption.

Vorteilhaft kann die Bedieneinheit zum festen Einstellen der Durchflussmenge lösbar zu verrasten sein. Es ist somit möglich, die Fußraste durch bewusstes Runterdrücken zu arretieren, um den Wasserfluss dauerhaft zu gewährleisten.Advantageously, the operating unit for releasably locking the flow rate to be releasably locked. It is thus possible to lock the footrest by consciously pressing down to ensure the flow of water permanently.

Mit der Erfindung wird ein minimalistisches Design verkörpert, das eine intuitive Bedienaberfläche zur Regulierung der Wassertemperatur und des Wasserdurchflusses sowie der Wasserausgabeart, auch als Betriebsmodus bezeichnet, zur Verfügung stellt, wobei bei allem Komfort ein sparsamer Ungang mit Wasser im Küchenbereich ermöglicht wird.With the invention, a minimalist design is embodied, which provides an intuitive Bedienaberfläche for regulating the water temperature and the water flow and the Wasserausgabeart, also referred to as the operating mode, with all comfort a sparing loss of water in the kitchen area is made possible.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Spülbecken 10 mit Wasserarmatur gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung. Das Spülbecken 10 besteht dabei aus einer Wanne 12, die einen Wannenboden 14 und eine umlaufende Seitenwandung 16 aufweist, oder einem GN-Behälter. Im Wannenboden 14 ist außerdem ein Wasserabfluss 18 vorgesehen. Bei dem Spülbecken 10 mit Wasserarmatur in der Darstellung der Figur 1 ist von der Wasserarmatur lediglich der Wasserauslauf dargestellt, und zwar in Form eines Bügels 20, dessen Enden 22, 24 am oberen Beckenrand des Spülbeckens 10 angebracht sind. Wie es durch den Doppelpfeil 26 angezeigt ist, ist der Bügel 20 um 180° verschwenkbar, wobei eine Zwischenposition 28 strichliert angegeben ist. In der 0°-Position und in der 180°-Position ruht der Bügel 20 in einer Stufe 30, die an den oberen Rand der Seitenwandung 16 anschließt und im vorliegenden Beispiel die Wanne 12 vollständig umläuft. Die Stufe 30 kann als direkt an die Wanne 12 anschließender, umlaufender Falz ausgebildet sein. Die Abmessungen von Bügel 20 und Stufe 30 sind so gewählt, dass der Bügel 20 in der 0°-Position und in der 180°-Position vollständig in der Stufe 30 einliegt und der Bügel 20 mit dem oberen Beckenrand des Spülbeckens fluchtet. FIG. 1 shows a sink 10 with water fitting according to the present invention. The sink 10 consists of a trough 12, which has a tub bottom 14 and a peripheral side wall 16, or a GN container. In the tub bottom 14 is also a water drain 18 is provided. In the sink 10 with water fitting in the representation of FIG. 1 is represented by the water fitting only the water outlet, in the form of a bracket 20, the ends 22, 24 are attached to the upper edge of the sink 10. As indicated by the double arrow 26, the bracket 20 is pivotable through 180 °, with an intermediate position 28 is indicated by dashed lines. In the 0 ° position and in the 180 ° position, the bracket 20 rests in a step 30, which adjoins the upper edge of the side wall 16 and in the present example, the tub 12 completely rotates. The step 30 may be formed as a subsequent directly to the trough 12, circumferential fold. The dimensions of bracket 20 and stage 30 are chosen so that the bracket 20 rests in the 0 ° position and in the 180 ° position completely in the step 30 and the bracket 20 is aligned with the upper edge of the basin of the sink.

Figur 2 zeigt einen beispielhaften ersten Betriebsmodus, in dem das erfindungsgemäße Spülbecken mit Wasserarmatur betrieben werden kann. Dabei wird, wie später noch im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 4 bis 8 erläutert wird, bei bestimmten Positionen des Bügels 20 ein Wasserschleier erzeugt, der zum Beispiel beim Waschen von Gemüse und Salaten vorteilhaft verwendet werden kann. Für den Wasserschleier wird eine Vielzahl von Wasserstrahlen erzeugt, die von der Innenseite des Bügels 20 her etwa mittig auf den Boden 14 der Wanne 12 treffen. Durch Verschwenken des Bügels 20 per Hand über einen großen Winkelbereich kann damit eine sanfte Reinigung erfolgen. Der Wasserabfluss 18 befindet sich vorteilhaft an der vom Benutzer abgewandten Seite im Wannenboden 14 in der Nähe der Seitenwandung 16. FIG. 2 shows an exemplary first mode of operation, in which the sink according to the invention can be operated with water fitting. It is, as later in connection with the FIGS. 4 to 8 is explained, at certain positions of the bracket 20 produces a water fog, which can be used advantageously, for example, in the washing of vegetables and salads. For the water curtain, a multiplicity of water jets is produced which strike the bottom 14 of the trough 12 approximately centrally from the inside of the hanger 20. By pivoting the bracket 20 by hand over a large angular range so that a gentle cleaning can be done. The water drain 18 is advantageously located on the side facing away from the user in the tub bottom 14 in the vicinity of the side wall 16.

Figur 3 veranschaulicht einen zweiten Betriebsmodus für ein Spülbecken mit Wasserarmatur gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung, bei dem der Wasseraustritt im Wesentlichen bei Senkrechtstellung des Bügels 20 (90°-Position) mittig aus der Innenseite des Bügels 20 her nach Art eines Wasserfalls geschieht. Dieser Betriebsmodus eignet sich besonders für das Reinigen von Gefäßen. FIG. 3 illustrates a second mode of operation for a sink with a water fitting according to the present invention, in which the water leakage occurs substantially in the vertical position of the bracket 20 (90 ° position) centrally from the inside of the bracket 20 ago in the manner of a waterfall. This operating mode is particularly suitable for cleaning vessels.

In einer praktischen Ausgestaltung kann das Umschalten zwischen den Betriebsmodi so geschehen, dass in einer Position des Bügels 20 im Bereich von etwa 0° bis etwa 75° und im Bereich von etwa 105° bis etwa 180° als Wasserschleier gemäß Figur 2 erfolgt, in einer Position von etwa 75° bis etwa 105° als Wasserfall gemäß Figur 3. Diese Bereichsangaben sind lediglich als beispielhaft anzusehen und können geändert werden, wenn dies erforderlich erscheint. In den Positionen 0° und 180° findet kein Wasserdurchtritt statt.In a practical embodiment, the switching between the operating modes can be done so that in a position of the bracket 20 in the range of about 0 ° to about 75 ° and in the range of about 105 ° to about 180 ° as a water curtain according to FIG. 2 takes place, in a position of about 75 ° to about 105 ° as a waterfall according to FIG. 3 , These ranges are merely as an example and may be changed as deemed necessary. In the positions 0 ° and 180 ° there is no passage of water.

Realisiert werden können die beiden Betriebsmodi beispielsweise durch eine Anordnung, wie sie in Figur 4 in einer Explosionsdarstellung veranschaulicht ist. Weitere Betriebsmodi, die anderen Wasserausgabearten oder Wasserfiguren entsprechen, können mit angepassten Abänderungen des Aufbaus in die Praxis umgesetzt werden. Beispielsweise könnte ein Wasseraustritt parallel zum Boden der Wanne durch einen Bügel in liegender Position realisiert werden (0!-Position oder 180°-Position), was ein im Wesentlichen spritzerfreies Befüllen der Wanne sicherstellt.The two modes of operation can be realized, for example, by an arrangement as described in US Pat FIG. 4 is illustrated in an exploded view. Other operating modes that correspond to other types of water dispensing or water features can be put into practice with adapted modifications of the structure. For example, a water outlet could be realized parallel to the bottom of the tub by a bracket in a lying position (0! Position or 180 ° position), which ensures a substantially spatter-free filling of the tub.

Die Wassereinspeisung geschieht beidseitig an den Enden 22, 24 des Bügels 20 (s. Figur 1). Sie soll hier am Beispiel des Endes 22 des Bügels 20 näher erläutert werden. Der Bügel 20 ist dabei als Zweikammer-System ausgestaltet, wobei eine innen liegende Kammer 40 beispielsweise als ein flexibles Schlauchelement ausgebildet und durch den hohlzylindrischen Bügel 20 geführt ist, wobei über einen oder mehrere Stege 42 eine Bindung zum Bügel 20 hergestellt wird. Der verbleibende Hohlraum 44 zwischen dem Außenbereich des Schlauches 40 und dem Bügel 20 bildet die zweite Kammer des Zweikammer-Systems. Eine entsprechende Erweiterung auf Drei- oder Mehrkammersysteme ist ebenfalls von der Erfindung umfasst. Das Ende 22 des Bügels 20 ist mit zwei quer verlaufenden Öffnungen 50, 52 versehen, zwischen denen ein beidseitig offenes Rohr 54 geführt ist. Das Rohr 54 liegt stationär und bildet eine Schwenkachse in Bezug auf den Bügel 20. Es weist eine Öffnung 56 in seinem Mantel auf, die von dem Querschnitt des Schlauches 40 in einer bestimmten Position des Bügels (20) oder in mehreren Positionen des Bügels (20) mehr oder weniger abgedeckt wird. Um das Rohr 54 stationär zu halten, ist eine Arretierung 60 mit einem Gewindezapfen 62 vorgesehen, die in ein entsprechendes Gewinde im Rohr 54 greift. Zwischen die Arretierung 60 und den Bügel 20 ist eine Dichtung 64 gelegt. In den senkrecht verlaufenden Wänden 32, 34 der Stufe 30 sind Öffnungen 36, 38 für ein Wasserzuführrohr 70 vorgesehen. Das Wasserzuführrohr 70 ist als ein zentrierter Innenkonus ausgestaltet, der in die freiliegende Öffnung des Rohres 54 greift. Eine Dichtung 66 ist zwischen die Wand 32 der Stufe 30 und dem Bügel 20, im zusammengebauten Zustand um das Wasserzuführrohr 70 verlaufend, gelegt.The water supply is done on both sides at the ends 22, 24 of the bracket 20 (s. FIG. 1 ). It will be explained in more detail here using the example of the end 22 of the bracket 20. The bracket 20 is designed as a two-chamber system, wherein an inner chamber 40 is formed for example as a flexible hose member and guided by the hollow cylindrical bracket 20, wherein via one or more webs 42, a bond to the bracket 20 is made. The remaining cavity 44 between the exterior of the hose 40 and the bracket 20 forms the second chamber of the dual chamber system. A corresponding extension to three- or multi-chamber systems is likewise encompassed by the invention. The end 22 of the bracket 20 is provided with two transverse openings 50, 52, between which a tube 54 open on both sides is guided. The tube 54 is stationary and forms a pivot axis with respect to the bracket 20. It has an opening 56 in its shell, which is of the cross section of the tube 40 in a certain position of the bracket (20) or in several positions of the bracket (20 ) is more or less covered. To hold the tube 54 stationary, a detent 60 is provided with a threaded stem 62 which engages a corresponding thread in the tube 54. Between the lock 60 and the bracket 20, a seal 64 is placed. In the vertically extending walls 32, 34 of the step 30 openings 36, 38 are provided for a water supply pipe 70. The water supply tube 70 is configured as a centered inner cone that engages the exposed opening of the tube 54. A seal 66 is placed between the wall 32 of the step 30 and the bracket 20, when assembled around the water supply tube 70.

Figur 5 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung nur des Bügels 20 im ersten Betriebsmodus. Lediglich schematisiert durch die Pfeile ist der Wassereintritt an den Enden 22, 24 des Bügels 20 dargestellt. An der Innenseite des Bügels ist eine Vielzahl von Wasseraustrittsdüsen 80 vorgesehen, die im Wesentlichen gleichmäßig über die Länge des Bügels 20 angeordnet sind, aber die Bügelmitte geschlossen lassen. Sie können beispielsweise als Schlitze, die etwa 0.5 mm breit und 10 mm lang sind, oder als runde Düsen, für einen im Querschnitt gleichmäßig runden Wasserstrahl, ausgebildet sein, damit der gewünschte Wasserschleier erzeugt wird. FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of only the bracket 20 in the first mode of operation. Only schematically by the arrows, the water inlet at the ends 22, 24 of the bracket 20 is shown. On the inside of the bracket a plurality of water outlet nozzles 80 is provided, which are arranged substantially uniformly over the length of the bracket 20, but leave the bow center closed. They may be formed, for example, as slits which are about 0.5 mm wide and 10 mm long, or as round nozzles, for a cross-sectionally uniform water jet, in order to produce the desired water fog.

Figur 6 zeigt dazu für das Ende 22 des Bügels 20, dass in bestimmten Positionen des Bügels 20 die freie Öffnung des flexiblen Schlauches 40 nicht über der Öffnung 56 des Rohres 54 liegt, so dass das eintretende Wasser, durch den Pfeil W symbolisiert, in die Kammer 44 strömen kann, die zwischen dem Schlauch 40 und dem Bügel 20 gebildet ist, so dass es zu den Wasseraustrittsdüsen 80 gelangen kann. FIG. 6 shows for the end 22 of the bracket 20 that in certain positions of the bracket 20, the free opening of the flexible tube 40 is not above the opening 56 of the tube 54, so that the incoming water, symbolized by the arrow W, in the chamber 44th can flow, which is formed between the hose 40 and the bracket 20 so that it can get to the water outlet nozzles 80.

Figur 7 zeigt in schematischer Ansicht nur den Bügel 20 für den zweiten Betriebsmodus. Etwa mittig über die Länge der Innenseite des Bügels 20 ist eine Wasseraustrittsdüse 82 vorgesehen, die ebenfalls als Schlitz ausgestaltet sein kann, wobei die Abmessungen des Schlitzes gegenüber den Abmessungen der Wasseraustrittsdüsen 80 vergrößert sind, um für ein entsprechend größeres Wasserdurchtrittsvolumen zu sorgen. Der flexible Schlauch 40 ist strichliert dargestellt, wobei im Bereich der Wasseraustrittsdüse 82 der Schlauch 40 so gestaltet ist, dass er diese umschließt. Wenn die Wasserarmatur im zweiten Betriebszustand betrieben werden soll, wird eintretendes Wasser W im Wesentlichen nur im Inneren des Schlauches 40 und damit zur Wasseraustrittsdüse 82 geführt und gelangt nicht oder nur unwesentlich in die Kammer 44. FIG. 7 shows in schematic view only the bracket 20 for the second mode of operation. Approximately in the middle of the length of the inside of the bracket 20, a water outlet nozzle 82 is provided, which may also be configured as a slot, the dimensions of the slot relative to the dimensions of the water outlet nozzles 80 are increased to provide a correspondingly larger water passage volume. The flexible tube 40 is shown in dashed lines, wherein in the region of the water outlet nozzle 82, the tube 40 is designed so that it encloses them. When the water fitting is to be operated in the second operating state, incoming water W is guided essentially only in the interior of the hose 40 and thus to the water outlet nozzle 82 and does not enter the chamber 44 or only insignificantly.

Figur 8 zeigt am Beispiel eines Endes 22 des Bügels 20, wie in bestimmten Winkelpositionen des Bügels 20 eintretendes Wasser W lediglich durch die Öffnung 56 des Rohres 54 in den Schlauch 40 geführt wird. Durch einen entsprechend gewählten Innendurchmesser des Schlauches 40 in Bezug auf den Durchmesser der Öffnung 56 kann ein gewünschter Winkelbereich für den zweiten Betriebsmodus eingestellt werden. FIG. 8 shows on the example of an end 22 of the bracket 20, as in certain angular positions of the bracket 20 entering water W is guided only through the opening 56 of the tube 54 in the tube 40. By a correspondingly selected inner diameter of the tube 40 with respect to the diameter of the opening 56, a desired angular range for the second operating mode can be set.

Figur 9 zeigt eine beispielhafte Ausführungsform einer Bedieneinheit 100 der Wasserarmatur, bei der Durchflussmenge und Temperatur des Wassers stufenlos einstellbar sind. Die Bedieneinheit 100 ist platzsparend unter dem Korpus 200, auf dem das Spülbecken montiert ist, an einer üblicherweise vorgesehenen Sockelblende 202 angebracht. Die Bedieneinheit 100 ist daher für den Benutzer normalerweise nicht sichtbar und wird mit einem Fuß intuitiv bedient, indem sie in horizontaler Richtung H bzw. in im Wesentlichen vertikaler Richtung V bewegt wird. Die Bedieneinheit 100 weist dazu eine im Wesentlichen langgestreckte Stange 102 auf, wobei die Kraftübertragung, wie später noch erläutert wird, kugelgelagert über zwei Streben 104, 106 hinter die Sockelblende 202 in den freien Raum unterhalb des Korpus 200 erfolgt. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass eine Bedienung in der horizontalen Richtung H die Wassertemperatur stufenlos einstellt, während eine Bedienung in der vertikalen Richtung V den Wasserdurchfluss einstellt. Beide Verlagerungen der Bedieneinheit 100 sind unabhängig voneinander durchzuführen. FIG. 9 shows an exemplary embodiment of a control unit 100 of the water fitting, in which flow rate and temperature of the water are infinitely adjustable. The operating unit 100 is space-saving under the body 200, on which the sink is mounted, attached to a commonly provided base panel 202. The operating unit 100 is therefore normally not visible to the user and is intuitively operated with one foot by being moved in the horizontal direction H or in the substantially vertical direction V. The operating unit 100 has for this purpose a substantially elongated rod 102, the power transmission, as will be explained later, ball-bearing via two struts 104, 106 behind the base panel 202 into the free space below the body 200. In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, it is provided that an operation in the horizontal direction H adjusts the water temperature continuously, while an operation in the vertical direction V adjusts the water flow. Both displacements of the operating unit 100 are to be carried out independently of each other.

Grundsätzlich könnten die Einstellmöglichkeiten auch umgekehrt erfolgten, dass also die Wassertemperatur durch die Verschiebung in vertikaler Richtung V, der Wasserdurchfluss durch Verschiebung in horizontaler Richtung H erfolgt. Der Vorteil der Ausgestaltung nach Figur 9 liegt jedoch darin, dass dann eine Einrastmöglichkeit auf einfache Weise geschaffen werden kann, bei der dann die Position der Stange 102 in vertikaler Richtung V beibehalten werden kann - und damit eine konstante Wasserdurchflussmenge - während die Wassertemperatur weiterhin stufenlos geändert werden kann.In principle, the adjustment possibilities could also be reversed, ie that the water temperature is effected by the displacement in the vertical direction V, the water flow by displacement in the horizontal direction H. The advantage of the embodiment according to FIG. 9 lies in the fact that then a snap-in possibility can be easily created, in which then the position of the rod 102 in the vertical direction V can be maintained - and thus a constant water flow - while the water temperature can be changed continuously.

Dies ist in der Figur 10 veranschaulicht, die eine Schnittansicht aus Figur 9 im Bereich einer der Streben 104, 106 zeigt. Unterhalb des Korpus 200 ist hinter der Sockelblende 202 ein Gehäuse 300 angeordnet, das die noch genauer zu beschreibende Stellmechanik und eine Mischeinheit 310 für Warm-/Kaltwasser enthält. Das Gehäuse 300 kann mittels mehrerer Schrauben 302 am Korpus 200 und an der Sockelblende 202 festgelegt sein. In einer Öffnung 204 des Korpus 200 ist ein Kugellager 304 angebracht, in das die Strebe 104 (bzw. 106) geführt ist, an der die Stange 102 festgelegt ist. Die Strebe 104 ist hinter dem Kugellager 304 als Strebe 104' in das Innere des Gehäuses 300 geführt. Sie mündet dort in einem Element 102', das als Stange oder als Kugel ausgeführt sein kann. Ein Rastelement 320 ist vorgesehen, das so angeordnet ist, dass es bei einer bestimmten Stellung der Stange 102 in vertikaler Richtung das Element 102' lösbar aufnimmt. Am Element 102' ist überdies der Steuerhebel 312 der Mischeinheit 310 angelenkt, der in üblicher Weise Durchflussmenge und Temperatur des Wassers festlegt, das dann durch ein Anschlussrohr 206 in das Spülbecken geführt wird, damit der Bügel der Wasserarmatur mit Wasser versorgt wird. Die aus Stange, Streben, Element und Steuerhebel der Mischeinheit gebildete Hebelanordnung ist bevorzugt federgelagert, wie es durch entsprechende Federelemente 108, 108' und vorbelastende Elemente, z. B. 110, angedeutet ist. Damit können gewünschte Einstellungen leicht erreicht und fein abgestimmt werden.This is in the FIG. 10 illustrating which is a sectional view FIG. 9 in the region of one of the struts 104, 106 shows. Below the body 200, a housing 300 is disposed behind the base panel 202, which contains the still to be described adjusting mechanism and a mixing unit 310 for hot / cold water. The housing 300 may be fixed by means of a plurality of screws 302 on the body 200 and the base panel 202. In an opening 204 of the body 200, a ball bearing 304 is mounted, in which the strut 104 (or 106) is guided, on which the rod 102 is fixed. The strut 104 is guided behind the ball bearing 304 as a strut 104 'in the interior of the housing 300. It opens there in an element 102 ', which may be designed as a rod or a ball. A locking element 320 is provided, which is arranged so that it at a certain position of the rod 102 in the vertical direction, the element 102 'removably receives. On the element 102 ', moreover, the control lever 312 of the mixing unit 310 is articulated, which determines in a conventional manner flow rate and temperature of the water, which is then passed through a connection pipe 206 in the sink, so that the bracket of the water faucet is supplied with water. The rod, struts, element and control lever The mixing unit formed lever assembly is preferably spring-loaded, as by corresponding spring elements 108, 108 'and biasing elements, for. B. 110, is indicated. Thus, desired settings can be easily achieved and finely tuned.
