Definitions
- Spray nozzle and sprayer comprising such a nozzle
- the present invention relates to a spray nozzle, and to a sprayer comprising such a nozzle.
- Miniaturized sprayers for fluids such as perfumes, cosmetics or pharmaceuticals, generally include a member for controlling the emission of the fluids (pump or valve), connected by a conduit outlet to a spray nozzle which splits the fluid substance into very fine droplets with a diameter of a few tens of microns.
- a known problem in such sprayers is to avoid the drying or oxidation of the fluid substance in the outlet conduit between two uses, and also to avoid the seepage of the fluid substance out of the spray nozzle between two uses.
- Document FR-A-2 635 084 teaches to solve this problem by using a valve which closes the outlet duct.
- the spray nozzle disclosed in document FR-A-2 635 084, like many spray nozzles, has a swirl chamber closed by an end wall and partially filled by a core.
- the end wall has an outlet and non-radial internal grooves which converge towards the outlet.
- the core disposed in the swirl chamber is generally substantially in contact with the end wall so that the fluid substance emitted under pressure must follow the non-radial grooves before reaching the orifice.
- the subject of the present invention is therefore a fluid substance spraying nozzle comprising an outlet duct adapted to receive said fluid substance, and opening into a swirl chamber at the center of an annular surface, said swirl chamber being closed by a wall.
- the swirl chamber being partially filled by a core which extends axially between a front face close to the end wall and a rear face distant from the end wall, the core leaving at least one lateral passage free which communicates the swirl grooves with the outlet duct, the spray nozzle comprising in addition to a valve suitable for closing the outlet conduit outside the periods of spraying of said fluid substance, and for opening under the effect of an arrival of fluid substance in the outlet conduit, characterized in that the core is a substantially cylindrical elastomeric part of revolution which is compressed elastically between the end wall of the swirl chamber and said annular surface, the core constituting said valve in combination with the annular surface, said rear face of the core being adapted to rest in sealed contact against said annular surface, said front face of the core being applied against the end wall by isolating the swirling grooves, so that the swirling grooves do not communicate with each other between the outlet or
- the core is held in contact against the end wall by its own elasticity, which eliminates the aforementioned gap, and it also serves as a valve for closing the outlet conduit.
- the rear face of the core is detached from its annular bearing surface by axial elastic deformation under the effect of pressure, which applies all the better the front face of the core against the end wall of the swirl chamber.
- the core can be manufactured easily. Indeed, from a simple circular section bead made of elastomer which is cut to the desired thickness, a core is obtained in accordance with the invention. Adaptation to the different sizes of swirl chamber is easy by taking a cord of appropriate section from which a slice is cut corresponding to the length of the chamber.
- the core of the invention comes from the fact that the core fills the swirl chamber, leaving only a very small dead volume.
- the volume of stagnant product in its swirl chamber is low, so that it will only be very slightly damaged by oxidation or drying.
- the core can be adapted so that only a very small annular cylindrical lateral passage remains.
- the front face of the core has a projecting part which penetrates into the outlet orifice. This limits the dead volume inside the spray orifice.
- said annular surface is conical, with a concavity facing the core, and the rear face of the core is circular.
- the sealed contact area between the rear face of the core and the annular bearing surface is then a fairly fine external annular area.
- the rear face of the core is elastically crushed in this annular zone, hence an excellent seal.
- said annular surface is a sealing bead arranged near the outside of the rear face of the core.
- the core can be molded from elastomeric thermoplastic (TPE), which facilitates its manufacture and provides sufficient flexibility.
- Centering means can be provided for positioning the core with respect to the outlet conduit and the outlet orifice.
- the core is a disc elastically deformable by bending, prestressed between the annular surface and the end wall, the annular contact of said disc with the annular surface having a diameter smaller than that of the contact of the disc with the end wall, so that the pressure exerted by the fluid substance inside the outlet duct deforms the disc by bending on its external peripheral part by breaking contact with the annular surface.
- the core is deformed by bending and no longer by axial compression. There is a rocking effect under the pressure of the fluid substance, while ensuring intimate contact on the swirl channels.
- This core shape will be more suitable for valves intended for gel or cream without spraying.
- the core can have a narrowed section at an intermediate position along its axial length, which gives it greater axial flexibility.
- the invention also has for a fluid substance sprayer comprising a spray nozzle according to any one of the preceding claims and a pump comprising:
- the spray pump is considerably simplified, since it does not include a discharge valve: it is the core of the nozzle in collaboration with its annular bearing surface, which constitutes the discharge valve. Due to the permanent elastic compression of the core, this discharge valve opens only when there prevails in the pump chamber a predetermined pressure sufficient to detach it from its annular bearing surface: the sprayer is therefore of the so-called type "compression", and guarantees excellent spraying.
- the document EP-A-0 378 935 describes a pump, the discharge valve of which is an elastic piece which is axially deformable, disposed in the outlet conduit in the vicinity of the outlet orifice.
- this pump does not have a spray nozzle, being intended to dispense an ophthalmological treatment in the form of a drop by actuation.
- the piston is controlled by an actuating rod in which the delivery conduit is formed
- the pump comprises a spring which exerts a restoring force on the piston
- a pusher is mounted on the rod. actuation to move the piston against the force of the spring, the pusher comprising said spray nozzle.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a pusher comprising a spray nozzle according to the invention
- FIGS. 1a and 1b are detailed views of two variants of the pusher of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the core of the spray nozzle of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a variant of the core of FIG. 2
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view along the line IV-IV of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a pump on which the plunger of FIG. 1 can be mounted
- FIG. 1 represents a pusher 1 adapted to be mounted on an actuating rod 2 of a pump or of a valve, for dispensing a fluid, liquid or semi-liquid substance, such as a perfume, a cosmetic or a medication, or whatever.
- the pusher 1 is part of a small spray assembly adapted to be held in the hand, and allows to actuate the pump or the valve using a finger, although an automatic actuation is also possible. without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the pusher 1 is generally molded from plastic. It comprises a conduit 3 in which the actuating rod 2 is fitted.
- the actuating rod 2 comprises a central channel 2a which allows the emission of the fluid substance, and which communicates with the conduit 3.
- the pusher further comprises a swirl chamber 5 which opens laterally outside the pusher.
- the swirl chamber 5 has a cylindrical side wall 20 of revolution and a bottom 10 pierced with a central orifice 4 which communicates with the conduit 3.
- the bottom 10 has here a conical shape, of concavity turned towards the chamber 5. It is note that the chamber 5 could also be arranged in the extension of the conduit 3, rather than laterally-
- the chamber 5 receives a part 21, molded in plastic in the form of a socket, commonly called "nozzle".
- the nozzle 21 has a bottom wall 6 and a side wall 22. To prevent the nozzle 21 from being expelled from the chamber 5 by the pressure of the fluid substance, it is firmly fixed to the pusher 1.
- the side wall 22 of the nozzle has an external annular rib 23 in the form of a notch, which is force-fitted into a groove complementary to the side wall of the chamber 5. The bottom 6 of the nozzle 21 thus closes the open end of the chamber 5.
- the bottom 6 of the nozzle is however pierced with a central outlet orifice 7 of very small diameter, provided with an enlarged part 7a towards the interior of the chamber 5-
- the bottom 6 of the nozzle further comprises a internal face 6a in which non-radial swirling grooves 8 are formed, which extend between the enlarged part 7a of the outlet orifice and the external periphery of the internal face 6a-
- the grooves 8 are oriented so as to impart a fluid vortex movement to the fluid substance upon its arrival in the enlarged part of the orifice 7.
- an elastomer core 9 is placed in the vortex chamber 5, compressed elastically between the bottom 6 of the nozzle and the bottom 10 of the swirl chamber.
- the core 9 is advantageously made of elastomeric thermoplastic (TPE), for example Kraton® (company Schell).
- TPE elastomeric thermoplastic
- This type of elastomer has the advantage of admitting significant elastic deformations and of being able to be injection molded, which facilitates production.
- the core 9 is a cylindrical part of revolution, which extends axially between a rear face 9b and a flat front face 9a possibly provided with a central projection 9c which penetrates into the enlarged part 7a of the output device.
- the core 9 can typically have a diameter of 2.5 to 5 mm, and a length of 3 to 10 mm. In special cases, the length can possibly go down to 1 mm, or go up to 20 to 30 mm. These dimensions are however given only by way of nonlimiting example.
- the rear face 9b When the core 9 is mounted in the pusher 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the rear face 9b, initially planar, is deformed by elastic compression against the bottom 10 of the chamber 5, in an external annular zone 9d, which guarantees excellent sealing.
- the annular zone 9d does not extend radially to the central orifice 4, so that the pressurized fluid arriving from the conduit 3 exerts its pressure on a maximum surface of the rear face 9b of the nucleus.
- the core 9 may include a collar 31 on its rear face 9b, to maximize the surface of the rear face 9b on which the pressure of the fluid coming from the conduit 3 is exerted.
- the collar 31 is housed between a rear end of the side wall 22 of the nozzle, and the bottom 10 of the chamber 5.
- the bottom 10 of the chamber 5 may include a sealing bead 30 annular, disposed around the orifice 4 in the vicinity of the outer diameter of the core 9, and on which the rear face 9b of the core rests: the pressurized fluid coming from the conduit 3 can thus exert its pressure over the entire surface of the rear face 9b which is located in the center of the cord 30.
- the bottom 10 of the chamber 5 can be flat.
- the core 5 may also include an external collar 31, as in FIG. La: the cord 30 is then placed opposite the collar 31, which further increases the surface of the rear face 9b of the core on which is exerted the pressure of the fluid coming from the conduit 3.
- the front face 9a of the core is applied in sealed contact with the internal face 6a of the bottom of the nozzle, and an annular space 1 1 is left free between the side wall 22 of the nozzle and the core 9.
- the fluid substance when the fluid substance is emitted under pressure and arrives in the conduit 3, it pushes the rear face 9b of the core, by elastic axial deformation of the core.
- the fluid substance then flows towards the annular space 1 1, then in the swirling grooves 8 before being sprayed by the outlet orifice 7.
- the side wall 22 of the nozzle 21 may optionally include internal axial ribs 18 or other reliefs, for positioning the core 9.
- axial ribs or other reliefs could be formed on the core 9.
- the core 9 may optionally include a central portion 24 of narrowed section, to increase its axial flexibility, as shown in FIG. 3.
- FIG. 5 represents a pump 12 intended to operate with the pusher of FIG. 1.
- the pump 12 comprises a pump body 25 molded in plastic material, which delimits a cylindrical pump chamber 13.
- the pump body 25 extends between an open end 25a and an end 25b provided with an inlet port 15.
- the inlet port 15 communicates with a reservoir of said fluid substance (not shown), directly or by via a dip tube (not shown).
- the piston 14 comprises an actuating rod 2, which projects out of the open end of the pump body, and which is pierced with a central channel 2a opening into the pump chamber 13.
- the inlet port 15 is provided with an intake valve composed of a valve seal 16 made of elastomer, adapted to be applied in a sealed manner on a valve seat 17 , formed around the inlet orifice 15.
- the inlet valve only allows the entry of fluid substance into the pump chamber 13.
- the valve seal 16 is held in the vicinity of the valve seat 17 by a holder valve 26.
- a helical metal return spring 19 is mounted between the piston 14 and the valve holder 26, and biases the piston 14 towards the open end 25a of the pump body.
- the piston is held in the pump body 25 by a metal cup 27 crimped on the pump body, and which can be crimped on the neck of said reservoir of fluid substance.
- the pusher 1 is mounted on the actuating rod 2.
- the core 9 and the bottom 10 of the swirl chamber 5 then constitute the outlet valve of the pump 12.
- FIG. 6 A second embodiment of a spray nozzle is illustrated in Figure 6.
- the core 9 is now in the form of an elastic disc made of TPE or closed-cell foam.
- the thickness of the disc is small, and can go up to a few tenths of a millimeter. It is wedged between the annular surface 10 and the inner face 1a of the end wall 6 which comprises the swirl channels 8.
- the disc is thus arranged under prestressing so that the channels 8 are perfectly isolated from each other .
- This elastic prestress also makes it possible to have a good seal at the level of the annular surface 10.
- the annular surface 10 has an inside diameter smaller than the outside diameter of the internal face 6a.
- the outer peripheral part 9a of the disc 9 flexes towards the swirl chamber 5, as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 6.
- the contact of the disc with the annular surface is thus broken creating a passage for the pressurized fluid.
- the disc undergoes deformation by bending.
- the core (disc) is thus limited to a simple slice of flexible elastomer.
- This type of thin core is more particularly suitable for use in gel or cream dispensing nozzles, without spraying. It also makes it possible to be able to produce nozzles / valves of very small thicknesses, given its reduced size.
