Publication number: 20240117892Abstract: A sanitary valve having a main valve and a pilot valve by which the main valve is actuatable between open and closed positions. A valve diaphragm movable by a valve tappet connected to a push-push mechanism provides for switching between switching positions corresponding to open and closed positions. The main and pilot valves are in an inner housing that is rotatably mounted in an outer housing. The outer and inner housings have paired valve openings, with a first valve opening pair arranged coaxially to a rotational axis designed as a valve outlet and a second valve opening pair provided as a valve inlet. The second pair is movable into congruence according to the rotational position between the outer and inner housings so the clear opening cross-section, kept free, of the at least one valve inlet produced by the congruence of the second valve openings is modified.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventors: Jacek KOWOL, Marc TEMPEL, Yichao BIAN

Patent number: 11892094Abstract: A valve arrangement having a main valve and having a pilot valve which is provided for controlling the main valve and which is inserted into a pilot valve receptacle in an insertion direction, wherein, through closure of the pilot valve, a pressure is able to be built up within a pressure chamber which is closed off by a diaphragm, whereby a valve seat between a main valve inlet and a main valve outlet is able to be closed off. By opening the pilot valve, it is possible to set a release of pressure within the pressure chamber by water flowing away via an inflow, connected to the pressure chamber, of the pilot valve receptacle and via a pilot valve inlet, adjoining the latter and formed by a main body of the pilot valve. A pilot valve outlet, formed by the main body, and via an outflow, adjoining said pilot valve outlet, into the main valve outlet, opens into the main valve outlet on the outflow side of the diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: NEOPERL GMBHInventors: Yichao Bian, Marc Tempel

Patent number: 11739858Abstract: A sanitary valve (1) for use in a fitting (2), including a valve housing (3), a main valve (4) which has a movable diaphragm (5), and a pilot valve (6), by which the main valve (4) can be actuated. The position of the diaphragm (5) can be specified by the position of a valve tappet (7) of the pilot valve (6), and a tube securing element (9) which is paired with an inlet opening (8) of the valve housing (3) is formed on the valve housing (3) and/or a mouthpiece securing element (11) or a jet regulator securing element which is paired with an outlet opening (10) of the valve housing (3) is formed on the valve housing (3) and/or the sanitary valve (1) has a clamping device (12), by which the valve housing (3) and an adjustment device part (13) can be rigidly connected together or are rigidly connected together.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2018Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: NEOPERL GMBHInventors: Marc Tempel, Yichao Bian

Publication number: 20230184341Abstract: A diversion device (1), in particular for a sanitary fitting (100), including a housing (2) which forms a valve body space (23) with at least one inlet opening (3) and at least two outlet openings (4, 5). A valve body (6) is guided in an adjustable manner within the valve body space (23) and can be used to divert a flow path (7, 8) between the at least two outlet openings (4, 5), the valve body (6) can be adjusted by an adjustment mechanism (9), the adjustment mechanism (9) is operatively connected to an operating element configured as a push-button (10), and an operative connection can be established between the adjustment mechanism and the push-button.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventor: Yichao BIAN
