Description

The invention relates to an ejection line arrangement for a liquid handling bottle attachment device having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and to a liquid handling bottle attachment device having the features of the preamble of claim 8.

When bottle attachment devices for handling liquids is about the exact measurement and delivery of liquids from a storage bottle or other storage container, the exact measurement when recording a liquid partial volume from the storage bottle or the like. into the device and/or when dispensing a partial volume of liquid from the device to the outside into a container.

Bottle-top devices of the type in question are, in particular, bottle-top dispensers and burettes. Bottle attachment devices of this type are used extensively in chemistry, biology and pharmacy, in the laboratory and in production.

In the present context, the term “liquid” preferably designates liquids such as are used in chemistry, biology, pharmacy, etc. in the laboratory and in production. These are preferably liquids with a relative viscosity of up to about 300 (viscosity based on the viscosity of water, measured under normal conditions). Colloquially, the liquids are preferably those in the range from very thin to slightly viscous.

In the case of bottle attachment devices of the type in question, high demands are placed on the volume accuracy of liquid intake and/or liquid dispensing and on operator safety. The bottle attachment devices are usually operated by hand or driven by an actuator.

A typical example of a bottle top device in the form of a bottle top dispenser is from EP 0 542 241 A2 known. For bottle-top devices in the form of bottle-top dispensers, the disclosure content of the EP 0 542 241 A2 referenced.

A bottle attachment device in the form of a burette is an example from EP 2 799 141 A2 known. A bottle-top device in the form of a burette has many structural details in common with a bottle-top device in the form of a bottle-top dispenser. In this respect, too, the disclosure content of the EP 2 799 141 A2 referred.

Here and in the following, a bottle attachment device is always described in its operating position, ie in its position attached to a storage bottle or the like. and substantially plumb. Correspondingly, a valve block arrangement for such a bottle attachment device is also described, ie also in its operating position, ie installed in a bottle attachment device which is in its operating position.

An essential part of a bottle attachment device of the type in question is the cylinder-piston arrangement, with the help of which the liquid can be sucked in and ejected again. This has a cylinder defining a longitudinal direction and a piston that is guided in a sealed, longitudinally displaceable manner in the cylinder. In an upward movement of the piston in the cylinder, the liquid is sucked in by creating a negative pressure in the cylinder. In a downward movement, the liquid in the cylinder is expelled from the cylinder again. The flow of the liquid, on the one hand during intake and, on the other hand, during discharge, is directed by valves in the valve block arrangement. The cylinder-piston assembly is sealingly connected to the valve block assembly and the lines therein. The valve block assembly itself is in turn with the help of the mounting assembly on the storage bottle or the like. appropriate.

In the valve block of the valve block arrangement there is a suction valve which allows liquid to be sucked in from the storage bottle by means of a suction pipe. The intake pipe, usually in the form of an attached hose, extends deep down into the storage bottle. A discharge line extends approximately horizontally from the valve block. A discharge valve is located in the discharge line or in the valve block at the start of the discharge line. The ejection line sometimes has an additional switching valve, via which a return line back into the storage bottle can be opened or closed. The ejection line can have a closure at the orifice where the liquid exits.

Since the ejection line protrudes approximately horizontally from the valve block and often also carries the switching valve explained above, this is the side from which an operator works with the bottle attachment device. This side can be referred to as the "front side" of the bottle attachment device. The opposite side is the "back" of the bottle attachment device. In an electronic embodiment of a bottle attachment device there is a display with ent Speaking controls preferably on the front of the bottle attachment device.

In the fastening arrangement for fastening the outer housing and/or the valve block arrangement of the bottle attachment device on a storage bottle or the like. it is often a thread arrangement similar to a union nut or an internal thread worked into the valve block itself for screwing onto the external thread on a bottleneck of the storage bottle (see the prior art mentioned at the outset). However, other fastening arrangements such as bayonet systems or short-stroke chucks can also be used in principle, as can systems based on the type of ground-bevel connection customary in the laboratory.

The issue at hand is the ejection line arrangement of a bottle attachment device of the type in question. This initially comprises a cantilever-like, angled holder which is attached to the outer housing and/or the valve block arrangement. Arranged in the holder and guided by this holder is an ejection line for the liquid and a switching valve for the return line if the present bottle attachment device is one in which liquid is to be fed back into the storage bottle via a return line. The holder can usually be detached from the outer housing and/or from the valve block arrangement in order to be able to carry out repairs or corrections. In the ejection line arrangement from which the invention starts ( EP 0 542 241 A2 in the case of a bottle-top dispenser, EP 2 799 141 A2 in the case of a burette), the ejection tube is provided at its end with a tip with an orifice, the tip protruding slightly from the holder of the ejection tube assembly. This makes it possible for the mouth opening of the tip to be closable by means of a closure cap. The closure cap is normally suspended from the holder or a component located in the holder by means of a retaining tab.

Constructions are known from the earlier state of the art in which the closure cap is simply slipped onto the tip and adheres there under static friction ( U.S. 5,862,958A ). To loosen the cap, you can pull on it, which elastically deforms the holder. When loosening the cap, the holder springs back and liquid can splatter.

In the known state of the art, the closure cap is thus screwed onto the tip with a short twisting movement, thereby closing the opening of the tip. Twisting the locking cap applies torque to the tip. This is received in the holder by the anti-rotation device, which is preferably formed by a form-fitting tongue and groove connection.

In the case of the known ejection line arrangement on which the invention is based, the holder of the ejection line arrangement consists of a plastic suitable for autoclaving.

In detail, for the plastics typically used here, which often have to meet special requirements in terms of their resistance to chemicals, on the one hand reference can be made to the state of the art indicated above ( EP 2 799 141 A2 ), on the other hand, to the relevant specialist literature and to the general catalog of the applicant (BRAND general catalog 900 (June 2013), pages 334-341). The same can also apply to the discharge line.

The ejection line is arranged in an arc in the holder, which is made of plastic, and snaps into place at various narrow points. The holder runs in an arc towards the end of the ejection line, preferably over an angle of approximately 90°, and the ejection line is also latched in the holder at constrictions in this arc. However, the ejection conduit can move relative to the holder in the direction of the longitudinal axis defined by the central axis of the orifice of the tip when appropriate force is exerted on the ejection conduit. In the process, tensile and/or bending forces are exerted on the tip. If the closure cap is screwed onto the tip and not just pushed on, torque is transferred to the tip. In intensive laboratory operation, the ejection line or the ejection line arrangement as a whole can be damaged in this way.

Finally goes out of the US 2009/0 188 946 A1 discloses an exhaust tube assembly having its tip longitudinally secured to the exhaust tube by a sleeve.

The teaching is based on the problem of optimizing the handling of the known ejection line arrangement.

The problem outlined above is solved in an ejection line arrangement for a bottle attachment with the features of the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 and in a bottle attachment with the features of the preamble of claim 8 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 8 .

According to the invention, the tip in the holder is prevented from being pulled out in the direction of the longitudinal axis secured from the holder. The tip itself is therefore fixed in the holder in this respect; it can be subjected to force in the direction of the longitudinal axis without its position in the holder changing in this direction. As a result, even when force is applied to the tip in the direction of the longitudinal axis, no force can be exerted on the ejection line to a disruptive extent. Damage to the discharge line is systematically avoided.

The elongated, cantilever-like, angled holder in connection with the ejection line guided therein provides an advantage for the attachment of the ejection line arrangement to the outer housing of the bottle attachment device in that the holder can be attached to the outer housing in two vertically different positions, namely an upper position in which the Holder is slidable up to the outer housing zoom, and a lower position in which the holder is positively connected to the outer housing in the horizontal direction. The position of the tip and an end section of the ejection line adjoining the tip is the same in both positions of the holder on the outer housing in the holder, while the ejection line is otherwise in a different position relative to the holder in the upper position of the holder on the outer housing than in the lower position of the holder on the outer casing.

The different position of the holder relative to the outer housing of the bottle attachment device is also made possible by elastic deformation of the ejection line in the holder. The sensitive portion of the tip and the end portion of the ejection pipe connected thereto can be inserted and fixed in the holder in advance. Then the holder as a whole can be attached to the outer housing of the bottle attachment device with the appropriate handling, without the tip having to be repositioned again.

Preferred refinements and developments are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

The mechanical pull-out lock, as described in detail in claims 2 to 4, is particularly useful.
As has already been explained with regard to the prior art, the tip can also be secured in the holder against rotation about the longitudinal axis. This is the subject of claim 5. This construction is particularly important when the tip and closure cap have mating and engageable threaded portions to close the mouth opening and, preferably, associated sealing members. In this case, when the closure cap closes the orifice, a torque is applied to the tip. This is picked up by the anti-rotation device and diverted into the holder. In this way, this torque does not reach the tip-connected end of the ejection conduit.

The latter function is particularly important when, as is envisaged according to preferred teaching, the tip is a separate component from the ejection line, but which is firmly connected to the end of the ejection line, in particular pinched, glued or, preferably, welded. The tip is a complex component, in particular when it is designed with a threaded section and a sealing element, which must be produced on a corresponding plastic tool. It is difficult to form the tip directly on the ejection pipe. The ejection line itself, on the other hand, can be a relatively simple hose that is optimized for the requirements of laboratory use. These two components are firmly connected to one another using a joining process. Ultrasonic welding of the two plastic components is particularly useful. However, any welded joint is relatively sensitive to the application of force, particularly torsion. The construction according to the invention keeps forces away from the welded connection to such an extent that the welded connection is reliably maintained.

1 or 2 each show a preferred exemplary embodiment of a bottle-top device 1 according to the invention for handling liquids, here in the form of a bottle-top dispenser.

The definitions of top and bottom as well as of front and back that were given in the introduction to the description apply to the bottle attachment device that is described here in the preferred exemplary embodiment. The bottle attachment device 1 is always in the in 1 illustrated position on a storage bottle 2 explained as a preferred example of a storage container, even if it should not be shown in this position in the individual representations.

This in 1 or 2 Bottle attachment device 1 shown is attached to a storage bottle 2 during operation. More precisely, the bottle attachment device 1 is attached to the neck of the storage bottle 2 with the aid of a fastening arrangement 3 . If the bottleneck of the storage bottle 2 has an external thread, the fastening arrangement 3 can be, for example, a type of cap with an internal thread, which is attached to the bottom of the bottle attachment device 1 . However, the fastening arrangement 3 can also be designed in the form of a plug-like plug-in arrangement or assume other forms. The only important thing is that the bottle attachment device 1 can be securely fastened to the storage bottle 2 or another suitable storage container by means of the fastening arrangement 3 .

In 1 or 2 At the top of the bottle attachment device 1 you can see its cylinder-piston arrangement 5. In the present case, the bottle attachment device 1 has a cylinder-piston arrangement 5 with an outer cylinder sleeve 5' encompassing the cylinder. There is a mechanical, adjustable stroke length stop on this.

A valve block arrangement 4 carries the cylinder-piston arrangement 5, but is itself located here, in accordance with the preferred teaching, in an outer housing 6 of the bottle attachment device 1, i.e. it is in 1 and 2 not immediately recognizable. The fastening arrangement 3 itself is located on the valve block arrangement 4 or, as here, on the outer housing 6.

From the outer housing 6 of the bottle attachment device 1, a discharge line 7 protrudes forwards, which is arranged and guided in a cantilever-like, angled holder 8 in the exemplary embodiment shown. The ejection line 7 ends in a tip 9. A retaining tab 10 is fastened to the holder 8 and holds a closure cap 11, with which the orifice 9' on the tip 9 can be closed and protected against dripping of liquid.

A suction line 12 for liquid extends downwards into the storage bottle 2 from the valve block arrangement 4 hidden in the outer housing 6 . Next to the intake line 12 you can see in 1 a return line 13 through which liquid can be fed back into the storage bottle 2 instead of through the discharge line 7 if required.
A switching valve 14 suitable for liquid to flow back into the storage bottle 2, which can be actuated by means of a toggle 15 on the upper side of the holder 8, is located here outside the valve block arrangement 4 and the outer housing 6 and in the illustrated and preferred 1 illustrated embodiment within the holder 8 for the ejection line 7.

2 shows a bottle-top device 1 in the form of a bottle-top dispenser without a switching valve 14, i.e. without the “re-dosing” function, which is explained in detail in the prior art ( EP 0 542 241 A2 ). Then, of course, the return line 13 is also omitted.

3 now shows the bottle attachment device 1 in section 1 . In addition to the components of the bottle attachment device 1 described above 3 a valve block 16 with valve seats 17 for an intake valve insert 18 and an exhaust valve insert 19. In the valve block 16, an intake duct 20 leads from the intake valve insert 18 to the cylinder-piston assembly 5. From the intake duct 20 branches into 3 a discharge channel 21 to the discharge valve insert 19 down to the right.

Since the in 3 If the bottle attachment device 1 shown is one with a switchover valve 14 to the return line 13, there is also a return inlet 22 on the valve block 16, into which a return connection 23 of the switchover valve 14 is inserted. The switching valve 14 with its toggle 15 is installed in the holder 8.

In 3 one can see on the right of the holder 8 the tip 9 emerging from the holder 8 with its mouth opening 9'. This is by means of the in 3 closure cap 11 hanging downwards on the holding tab 10 can be closed.

one sees in 3 that the tip 9 defines a longitudinal axis with the central axis of the orifice opening 9'. From the tip 9, the ejection line 7 runs in an arc in the holder 8 of the ejection line arrangement 7' upwards and to the left in the direction of the switching valve 14. The ejection line 7 here runs in an arc over an angle of approximately 90°. There is no wall on the outside of the holder 8 in the exemplary embodiment shown and in this respect preferred; here the holder 8 is open. This is often solved with bottle top devices of the type in question because then an operator in the transparent or in any case well translucent ejection line 7 can observe the liquid flowing therein.

4 now shows the holder 8, the ejection line 7 and the tip 9 of an ejection line arrangement 7' according to the invention as in FIG 3 shown in an enlarged view and exploded to better illustrate the specifics of the invention.

In 4 one can first see constrictions 8 ′ for latching or jamming insertion of the ejection line 7 , which are arranged in corresponding walls in the holder 8 . Based on the location of the discharge line 7 in 4 one can easily understand how the ejection line 7 is preferably locked in the holder 8 or held in a clamped manner. right in 4 one can see the curved opening 8" on the outside of the holder 8, which here runs in a curved shape, through which an operator can observe the ejection line 7 mounted therein.

through the in 4 Recognizable shape and additional components, the tip 9 is secured in the holder 8 against being pulled out of the holder 8 in the direction of the longitudinal axis. During operation, the ejection line 7 in the holder 8 always remains in the in 3 recognizable location. It will not move any further, even if in 3 should attack downward forces at the top 9. The tip 9 is independently secured in the holder 8 in the direction of the longitudinal axis.

Securing the tip 9 in the holder 8 against being pulled out of the holder 8 in the direction of the longitudinal axis can be implemented in different ways. A snap connection or a latching connection provides mechanical security. An additional securing means, for example a securing pin or a securing screw, could also be provided. However, the securing could also be achieved in a material-locking manner, for example by ultrasonic welding of the plastic material of the tip and holder or by an adhesive connection.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, it is structurally provided that the tip 9 is secured against being pulled out of the holder 8 in the direction of the longitudinal axis by a mechanical pull-out lock 24 which engages with a holder 25 on the holder 8 . The pull-out lock 24 can preferably be removed and thus separated from the holder 8 and the tip 9 .

Specifically, it is here and preferably provided that the pull-out lock 24 is designed as a type of slide which, when inserted, engages in a form-fitting manner with the holder 25 on the holder 8 on the one hand and with a counterpart 26 on the tip 9 on the other. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the counterpart 26 on the tip 9 is formed by projections on the tip 9 protruding at the edge.

In a snippet 4 see in 5 the assembled state with the pull-out lock 24 in a horizontal section. It can be seen here that, according to the preferred teaching, the pull-out lock 24 is locked with the tip 9 . Lateral arms 24' of the pull-out lock 24 engage outwards in grooves of the holder 25 on the holder 8 and inwards between the projections of the counterpart 26 on the tip 9 and thus lock the holder 8 with the tip 9 opposite in the direction of the longitudinal axis powers. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the pull-out lock 24 has two snap-in hooks 24" with which it can latch on a counterpart on the tip 9, preferably on a spring 28 on the tip 9. The pull-out lock 24 can, if necessary, cross against the snap-in action of the snap-in hooks 24". be pulled out of the holder 25 on the holder 8 towards the longitudinal axis in order to enable the ejection line 7 to be dismantled from the holder 8, but it normally sits securely in the holder 25, held by the latching hooks 24", and thus also holds the tip 9 securely on its Place.

The illustrated and preferred embodiment ( 4 and 5 ) shows an embodiment in which provision is already made for the tip 9 to be secured in the holder 8 against rotation about the longitudinal axis. In the preferred embodiment shown here, it is provided that the anti-rotation device is formed by groove 27 and tongue 28 engaging with one another in a form-fitting manner in the direction of the longitudinal axis. A tongue 27/groove 28 connection can be seen in 4 and 5 in three places, namely where these reference numerals are, and where the counterparts 26 at the tip 9 engage in the holder 25. In this respect, these components have a dual function here.

4 shows in connection with 3 Incidentally, it is good that here and according to the preferred teaching of the invention, the tip 9 and the closure cap 11 have threaded sections 29 that match one another and can be brought into engagement with one another in order to close the mouth opening 9'.

The tip 9 and closure cap 11 may also include interengageable sealing members. in 3 and 4 illustrated embodiment has the tip 9 as a sealing element an outer cone 9 "( 4 ), to which a corresponding inner cone 11' fits on the closure cap 11 ( 3 ).

4 also shows that here and according to the preferred teaching of the invention, the tip 9 is a separate component from the ejection line 7, but which is firmly connected to the end of the ejection line 7, in particular pinched, glued or, preferably, welded. In the illustrated embodiment shows 4 the tip 9 separates from the ejection line 7. The end of the ejection line 7 shows, in the form of a ring, the area in which in practice the permanent welded connection of the components, which is selected as particularly preferred here, is provided. In practice, this remains largely free of forces when the ejection line 7 is installed in the holder 8, on the one hand because of the rotation lock provided by the groove 27 and tongue 28, and on the other hand because of the effect of the pull-out lock 24.
6 combined with 7 allows a view of the connection between the holder 8 and the outer housing 6, to which the holder 8 is attached in an exchangeable manner in the illustrated and preferred exemplary embodiment. In order to better identify the components that are essential for the special features to be explained here, the changeover valve 14 and the components lying opposite on the valve block 16 have been omitted here. The following description also relates equally to a bottle attachment device 1 2 , in which a switching valve is not even present. Instead of a switching valve, such a bottle attachment device could have a suitable line adapter. Considerations in this regard are the subject of an application filed at the same time by the applicant.

As has already been stated in the general part of the description, the directions given below relate to a bottle attachment device 1 in its operating position, ie attached to a storage bottle 2 or the like and aligned essentially vertically. The cylinder of the cylinder-piston arrangement 5, which defines a longitudinal direction, is also aligned vertically for this consideration. The piston runs up and down in the cylinder.

The outer housing 6 and/or the valve block arrangement 4, on the one hand, and the holder 8, on the other hand, are configured at the sections which are associated with one another and which engage with one another when the holder 8 is attached, such that the holder 8 can be attached to the outer housing 6 in two vertically different positions, namely one upper position in which the holder 8 can be displaced up to the outer housing 6, and a lower position in which the holder 8 is positively connected to the outer housing 6 in the horizontal direction. The essence of the teaching of the invention is that the position of the tip 9 and an end section of the ejection line 7 adjoining the tip 9 is the same in both positions of the holder 8 on the outer housing 6 in the holder 8 . On the other hand, when the holder 8 on the outer housing 6 is in the upper position, the ejection line 7 is in a different position relative to the holder 8 than when the holder 8 is in the lower position on the outer housing 6. The same applies if the holder 8 has a different construction is not or not only on the outer housing 6, but partially or completely attached to the valve block assembly 4.

The upper position of the holder 8 is the assembly position with which the holder 8 together with the ejection line 7 and, shown here, the switching valve 14 can be pushed towards the outer housing 6 . The switching valve 14 can thus be brought into engagement with the exhaust valve insert 19 and the return inlet 22 . In this position, the holder 8 is then already close to the outer housing 6, but is not yet positively connected to the outer housing 6. Starting from this position, the holder 8 is then moved to the lower position. In the lower position, the in 1 , 2 and 3 shown engages in here 6 and 7 In the illustrated and preferred exemplary embodiment, an undercut counterpart 30 on the holder 8 fits into a T-shaped bar 31 on the outer housing 9. As a result, the holder 8 with the outer housing 6 is not only in a vertical downward direction but also positively in the horizontal direction tied together. The holder 8 ( 6 ) has here further form-fitting elements 32 which, in connection with counter-elements 33 ( 7 ) on the outer housing 6 ensure a firm connection of the holder 8 to the outer housing 6 in the lower position of the holder 8. The positive-locking elements 32 and counter-elements 33 are designed in such a way that they define a provisional position of the holder 8 relative to the outer housing 6 in the upper position. However, this can be overcome by exerting increased force in a downward direction, so that the holder 8 is then further displaced in a downward direction until it reaches its final lower position, in which it is latched to the outer housing 6 .

It is essential to the invention that during the entire assembly process the position of the tip 9 and the end section of the ejection line 7 adjoining the tip 9 does not change or practically does not change in the holder 8, i.e. in particular the connection area between the ejection line 7 and the tip 9 is largely free of forces remains.

From the entire presentation in the above statements it follows that the teaching of the invention not only relates to an ejection line arrangement 7 'for a bottle attachment device 1 as a replacement part, but that the teaching of the invention tion also relates in particular to a bottle attachment device 1 in which an ejection line arrangement 7' according to the invention is used. In this respect, reference may be made to the above statements.
