Abstract

A wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device with integrated valve. More particularly, a wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device includes a wall-mountable base body and a valve fastenable to the base body. The sanitary conduit connection device according to an illustrative embodiment includes a wall-mountable base body having a receiving sleeve and a water inlet duct which, with an inlet duct outflow, leads peripherally into the receiving sleeve, an electrically controllable valve having a cylindrical valve cartridge which is axially insertable into the receiving sleeve and in which a valve unit is located, which valve cartridge has an electrical valve connection unit on a first end face and a pipe connection coupling on a second end face and includes, on a peripheral side, a valve inlet opening which is capable of being coupled to the inlet duct outflow in a fluid-tight manner, and a fastening unit for fastening the valve cartridge in a fixed position in the receiving sleeve.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device, comprising:
a wall-mountable base body having a receiving sleeve and a water inlet duct which, with an inlet duct outflow, leads through a periphery of the receiving sleeve into the receiving sleeve;
an electrically controllable valve having a cylindrical valve cartridge which is axially insertable into the receiving sleeve and in which a valve unit is located, which valve cartridge has an electrical valve connection unit on a first end face and a pipe connection coupling on a second end face and includes, on a peripheral side of the cylindrical valve cartridge and axially positioned between the first end face and the second end face, a valve inlet opening which is capable of being coupled to the inlet duct outflow in a fluid-tight manner; and
a fastening unit for fastening the valve cartridge in a fixed position in the receiving sleeve.

2. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening unit has a bayonet connection unit with a bayonet connection flange protruding radially on the peripheral side of the valve cartridge and with, on the receiving sleeve, a bayonet connection shoulder engageable from behind by the bayonet connection flange.

3. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 2 , wherein the fastening unit has a bayonet lock with an axial partial peripheral bore on each of an inner circumference of the receiving sleeve and an outer circumference of the valve cartridge, and with an anti-rotation bolt, wherein the respective partial peripheral bores are aligned in a fastening position of the bayonet connection unit in order to form a full bore, into which the anti-rotation bolt is insertable.

4. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 2 , wherein the valve cartridge has a sealing ring which annularly surrounds the valve inlet opening and which, in a cartridge circumferential direction, extends by a bayonet rotation angle range further than the valve inlet opening.

5. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving sleeve has a sleeve shape that is open on the peripheral side across a free angle, and the valve cartridge has on the peripheral side a radially protruding alignment flange which extends across a circumferential angle corresponding to the free angle and which comes to lie axially outside the receiving sleeve when the valve cartridge is axially completely inserted.

6. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving sleeve has, on an inner circumference, and the valve cartridge has, on an outer circumference, corresponding cone surfaces tapering in a cartridge insertion direction.

7. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the valve cartridge has, on the second end face, a turning-tool receptacle.

8. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the valve cartridge has, on an outer circumference, an axial cable guide for guiding at least one electrical connection cable from the first to the second end face.

9. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the base body has a wall-mountable base plate and a socket body, which is secured to the base plate and which has the receiving sleeve, a water inlet, and the water inlet duct leading from the water inlet to the inlet duct outflow.

10. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 1 , wherein a longitudinal direction of a water inlet of the water inlet duct is oriented perpendicularly with respect to a longitudinal direction of the receiving sleeve.

11. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the base body has an empty-tube receptacle for an empty tube for an electrical line.

12. The wall-mountable sanitary conduit connection device according to claim 1 , wherein the base body forms a connection box with a box housing cover.
