Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Dosiergerät zum Ausgeben eines rieselfähigen Produkts aus einem Vorratsbehälter mit einer durch Umwenden in eine Tieflage durch einen Geräteeinlaß aus dem Behälter zu füllenden sowie über einen Geräteauslaß zu entleerenden Dosierkammer.The invention relates to a metering device for dispensing a free-flowing product from a storage container with a metering chamber to be filled by turning into a low position through a device inlet and to be emptied via a device outlet.

In der DE-OS 23 53 570 wird ein Dosier-Spender mit mehreren Dosierkammern am Umfang einer Spindel beschrieben. Die Kammern werden jeweils in einer Drehposition der Spindel mit dem zu dosierenden, rieselfähigen Produkt gefüllt und in einer anderen Drehposition der Spindel der Reihe nach geleert. Das Füllen und Entleeren der Dosierkammern erfolgt bei unveränderter Überkopfstellung des an das Dosiergerät angeschlossenen Behälters. Beim Füllen der Dosierkammern fällt das zu dosierende Produkt - in der Überkopfstellung - von oben in die Kammer ein, beim Entleeren der Dosierkammern fällt das Produkt aus einer Öffnung an der Kammerunterseite, z.B. in einen Schacht, heraus. Die bekannte Vorrichtung ist Bestandteil eines Originalitätssicherungs-Verschlusses und wird aus einer Vielzahl von Komponenten aufgebaut.DE-OS 23 53 570 describes a metering dispenser with several metering chambers on the circumference of a spindle. The chambers are each filled with the free-flowing product to be metered in one rotational position of the spindle and emptied in sequence in another rotational position of the spindle. The dosing chambers are filled and emptied with the overhead position of the container connected to the dosing device unchanged. When filling the dosing chambers, the product to be dosed - in the overhead position - falls into the chamber from above; when emptying the dosing chambers, the product falls out of an opening on the underside of the chamber, e.g. into a shaft, out. The known device is part of a tamper-evident closure and is constructed from a large number of components.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Dosierverschluß mit einer durch Schwenken in eine Tieflage alternativ zu füllenden oder zu entleerenden Dosierkammer, vor allem für rieselfähiges Gut, zu schaffen, der ein ein- oder mehrmaliges Dosieren ohne zwischenzeitliche bzw. zusätzliche Schwenkbewegung des Vorratsbehälters ermöglicht und der zugleich wirtschaftlich herzustellen sowie zu konfektionieren und bequem zu handhaben ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist für ein Dosiergerät eingangs genannter Art mit durch eine Einlaßöffnung aus einem Vorratsbehälter zu füllender sowie über eine Auslaßöffnung zu entleerender Dosierkammer gekennzeichnet durch ein Gehäuse in Form einer Zylindertrommel mit Einlaß- und Auslaßfenster an diametral gegenüberliegenden Bereichen des Trommelumfangs und eine in die Trommel dreh. bar um die Trommelachse eingepaßte Zylinderschale mit einer durch Drehen jeweils das Einlaßfenster oder das Auslaßfenster freigebenden Umfangsöffnung.The invention has for its object to provide a dosing closure with a dosing chamber alternatively to be filled or emptied by pivoting into a low position, especially for free-flowing goods, which can be dosed one or more times without intermediate or additional pivoting movement of the storage container enables and which is economical to manufacture and assemble and easy to use. The solution according to the invention is characterized for a metering device of the type mentioned above with a metering chamber to be filled through an inlet opening from a storage container and to be emptied via an outlet opening by a housing in the form of a cylinder drum with inlet and outlet windows at diametrically opposite areas of the drum circumference and one into the drum turn bar fitted around the drum axis with a circumferential opening by turning the inlet window or the outlet window, respectively.

Zum erfindungsgemäßen Dosiergerät gehören also lediglich zwei Einzelteile, das Gerät kann daher in der Serienproduktion kostengünstig hergestellt werden. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß zum Betätigen des Dosierers eine Drehung um eine quer zur Richtung des Materialflusses stehende Drehachse vorgesehen ist. Das Dosiergerät wird also in Bezug auf den Produktstrom von der Seite her verstellt. Ein solches seitliches Drehen empfindet der Verbraucher einfacher als ein Drehen um eine sich in Richtung des Produktstroms erstreckende Längsachse. Wenn die Zylinderschale des erfindungsgemäßen Dosiergeräts mit einem auf einer Seite über den Rand der Zylindertrommel axial und/oder radial überstehenden Betätigungsring verbunden ist, kann der Anwender diesen Ring umfassen, ohne daß die Gefahr besteht, mit dem zu dosierenden Produkt in Berührung zu kommen.The dosing device according to the invention therefore only includes two individual parts, the device can therefore be mass-produced inexpensively. Another advantage is that a rotation about an axis of rotation transverse to the direction of the material flow is provided for actuating the dosing device. The dosing device is therefore adjusted from the side in relation to the product flow. Such a lateral turning is felt by the consumer more easily than turning about a longitudinal axis extending in the direction of the product flow. If the cylinder shell of the metering device according to the invention is connected to an actuating ring which projects axially and / or radially on one side beyond the edge of the cylinder drum, the user can enclose this ring without the risk of coming into contact with the product to be metered.

Gemäß weiterer Erfindung erstreckt sich die Umfangsöffnung der Zylinderschale in der Umfangsrichtung zumindest über die Breite des Einlaß- bzw. Auslaßfensters und höchstens über den halben Trommelumfang zuzüglich der Breite eines Einlaß- oder Auslaßfensters. Durch eine solche Bemessung wird erreicht, daß bei unveränderter Überkopfstellung des Vorratsbehälters mehrfach zu dosieren ist, ohne daß in irgendeiner Schwenkstellung der Zylinderschale Einlaß- und Auslaßfenster auch nur teilweise gleichzeitig geöffnet wären. Je nach Größe der Umfangsöffnung der Zylinderschale kann die Handhabung des Geräts erleichtert werden, wenn durch einen die Schwenkbewegung der Zylinderschale begrenzenden Anschlag deren augenblickliche Stellung zu ertasten ist.According to a further invention, the circumferential opening of the cylinder shell extends in the circumferential direction at least over the width of the inlet or outlet window and at most over half the drum circumference plus the width an inlet or outlet window. Such a dimensioning ensures that, with the overhead position of the storage container unchanged, metering is to be carried out several times without the inlet and outlet windows even being partially opened at the same time in any pivoted position of the cylinder shell. Depending on the size of the circumferential opening of the cylinder shell, the handling of the device can be made easier if the instantaneous position can be felt by a stop limiting the pivoting movement of the cylinder shell.

Gemäß weiterer Erfindung wird die Zylindertrommel an einen Behälterverschluß angeformt, derart, daß das Einlaßfenster der Trommel zugleich den Behälterauslaß bildet und damit dem Behälterinnern zugewandt ist. Ein einwandfreies Füllen und Entleeren der Dosierkammer mit rieselfähigem Produkt, z.B. mit Pulver oder körnigem Gut, wird erreicht, wenn die Trommelachse etwa senkrecht zur Hauptachse des Behälters bzw. des Behälterverschlusses steht. Die Zylindertrommel wird, vorzugsweise einstückig, mit dem das Einlaßfenster aufweisenden Teil ihres Umfangs mit dem Behälterverschluß verbunden.According to a further invention, the cylinder drum is molded onto a container closure in such a way that the inlet window of the drum also forms the container outlet and thus faces the interior of the container. Flawless filling and emptying of the dosing chamber with free-flowing product, e.g. with powder or granular material, is achieved when the drum axis is approximately perpendicular to the main axis of the container or the container closure. The cylinder drum is connected, preferably in one piece, to the part of its circumference which has the inlet window and is connected to the container closure.

Das in den Fig. 1, 2 und 5 insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnete Dosiergerät besteht im Prinzip lediglich aus einer Zylindertrommel 2 mit angeformtem Behälterverschluß 3 einerseits und einer in die Zylindertrommel 2 drehbar um die Trommelachse 4 eingepaßten Zylinderschale 5 (nach Fig. 3 und 4) andererseits. Die Zylinderschale 5 besitzt eine Umfangsöffnung 6 und wird mit einem auf einer Seite über den Rand der Zylindertrommel 2 überstehenden Betätigungsring 7 verbunden. Die Achse des Betätigungsrings 7 ist identisch mit der Trommelachse 4.1, 2 and 5, generally designated 1, consists in principle of a cylinder drum 2 with a molded container closure 3 on the one hand and a cylinder shell 5 which is rotatably fitted into the cylinder drum 2 about the drum axis 4 (according to FIGS. 3 and 4) on the other hand. The cylinder shell 5 has a circumferential opening 6 and is with a protruding on one side over the edge of the cylinder drum 2 tigungsring 7 connected. The axis of the actuation ring 7 is identical to the drum axis 4.

Die Zylindertrommel 2 bildet im wesentlichen die Dosierkammer 8 und besitzt ein Einlaßfenster 9 und ein Auslaßfenster 10 an diametral gegenüberliegenden Bereichen des Trommelumfangs. Das Einlaßfenster 9 ist zum Verschluß 3 - also bei Anwendung zum Behälterinnern - hin geöffnet. Die Anordnung wird so getroffen, daß die Trommelachse 4 etwa senkrecht zur Hauptachse 11 des Verschlusses 3 steht. - Wenn die von dem Betätigungsring 7 umschlossene Kreisfläche als radiale Wand 12 des Dosiergeräts 1 ausgebildet sind, braucht die Zylindertrommel 2 nur auf einer Seite mit einer Wand 13 ausgestattet zu werden, Die gegenseitige Zuordnung der Einzelteile wird in den Schnitt bzw. in den Ansichtzeichnungen nach Fig. 1 bis 5 im Prinzip dargestellt.The cylinder drum 2 essentially forms the metering chamber 8 and has an inlet window 9 and an outlet window 10 at diametrically opposite regions of the drum circumference. The inlet window 9 is open to the closure 3 - that is, when used for the interior of the container. The arrangement is such that the drum axis 4 is approximately perpendicular to the main axis 11 of the closure 3. - If the circular area enclosed by the actuating ring 7 is designed as a radial wall 12 of the metering device 1, the cylinder drum 2 only needs to be equipped with a wall 13 on one side. The mutual assignment of the individual parts is shown in the section or in the view drawings 1 to 5 shown in principle.

In den Fig. 6 und 7 wird ein mit dem angeformten Verschluß auf einem Behälter 14 aufgesetztes Dosiergerät 1 in aufrechter Stellung bzw. in Überkopfstellung perspektivisch dargestellt.6 and 7, a metering device 1 placed with the molded closure on a container 14 is shown in perspective in the upright position or in the overhead position.

Bei Anwendung wird die in der Zylindertrommel 2 gelagerte Zylinderschale 5 mit Hilfe des Betätigungsrings 7 zunächst in eine Position gebracht, in der die Umfangsöffnung 6 der Zylinderschale 5 vor dem Einlaßfenster 9 der Zylindertrommel 2 steht, so daß das Fenster 9 und damit die Dosierkammer 8 geöffnet sind. In der Überkopfstellung nach Fig. 7 strömt dann im Vorratsbehälter 14 befindliches Produkt in die Dosierkammer 3 ein. Der Füllzustand der Dosierkammer 8 kann gut beobachtet werden, wenn das Dosiergerät 1 zumindest teilweise aus durchsichtigem oder durchscheinendem Material besteht. Beispielsweise kann es günstig sein, die der Beobachtung gut zugängliche radiale Wand 12 innerhalb des Betätigungsrings 7 durchsichtig auszubilden.In use, the cylinder shell 5 mounted in the cylinder drum 2 is first brought into a position by means of the actuating ring 7 in which the peripheral opening 6 of the cylinder shell 5 is in front of the inlet window 9 of the cylinder drum 2, so that the window 9 and thus the metering chamber 8 are opened are. In the overhead position according to FIG. 7, product located in the storage container 14 then flows into the metering chamber 3. The filling state of the metering chamber 8 can be observed well if the metering device 1 is at least partially made of transparent or translucent material. For example, it may be expedient to make the radial wall 12 within the actuating ring 7, which is easily accessible for observation, transparent.

Wenn die Dosierkammer 8 den gewünschten Füllzustand erreicht hat, wird das Einlaßfenster 9 der Dosierkammer 8 durch Drehen des Betätigungsrings 7 und damit der Zylinderschale 5 geschlossen. Bei unveränderter Überkopfstellung kann durch Weiterdrehen des Betätigungsrings 7 die Umfangsöffnung 6 der Zylinderschale 5 vor das Auslaßfenster 10 der Dosierkammer 8 geschwenkt, also die Kammer geöffnet und damit Produkt 15 abgegeben werden.When the metering chamber 8 has reached the desired filling state, the inlet window 9 of the metering chamber 8 is closed by turning the actuating ring 7 and thus the cylinder shell 5. With the overhead position unchanged, by further turning the actuating ring 7, the peripheral opening 6 of the cylinder shell 5 can be pivoted in front of the outlet window 10 of the metering chamber 8, that is to say the chamber can be opened and product 15 can thus be dispensed.

Auf Wunsch kann die Dosierkammer 8 auch mit einer Füllstandsskala 16 versehen werden. Beispielsweise kann eine geeichte Skala 16 auf der gegebenenfalls durchsichtigen, von dem Betätigungsring 7 umschlossenen radialen Wand 12 vorgesehen werden.If desired, the metering chamber 8 can also be provided with a fill level scale 16. For example, a calibrated scale 16 can be provided on the possibly transparent radial wall 12 enclosed by the actuating ring 7.
