Abstract
A disk-type valve encompasses both throughput control and a distribution function for distributing water through the valve to one of several outlets. A movable control disk for throughput control is actuated independently of a movable control disk for output selection. Both separately actuated controls cooperate with a joint stationary distribution disk and pressure forcing the movable control disks against the distribution disk can be adjusted and regulated separately. Two actuating elements are disposed around one another as a shaft and sleeve, for actuating the control disks independently.
Claims10
Combined shut-off and distribution valve, comprising:
- a water inlet leading into the valve, an output control for the water inlet, wherein the output control is formed as a disk control,
- at least one water outlet from the valve,
- a selection control for selecting at least one said water outlet, wherein the selection control is formed as a disk control, which is located downstream of the output control,
- wherein the movable control disks are located at least approximately in a same plane, and,
- wherein movable control disks of both the output control and the selection control can be actuated independent of one another.
