Definitions
- the invention relates to a metering pump for atomizing a liquid, the pump housing, which can be placed on a container for the liquid; a hollow pump piston biased in the closing direction with a first piston piece and a second piston piece adjoining it in the axial direction, the pump piston being axially displaceable in the interior of a cylinder in the pump housing; a valve cone spring-loaded in the closing direction, which is axially displaceable inside the pump piston and forms an outlet valve with a valve opening in the pump piston, a sealing element being provided for sealing between the valve cone and an inner wall of the pump piston; and has a check valve between the container and the interior of the pump housing.
- a pump is known from EP-A-0 364 385.
- Metering pumps of this type are used to easily spray liquids. They have the favorable property of atomizing a precisely defined dose of the liquid with each actuation. In addition, the liquid is transported and atomized solely by manual operation with the aid of pressure pistons, without the need for a compressed gas or the like. These dosing pumps are therefore advantageous from the point of view of environmental protection and safety; they are also easy to manufacture, since pressure vessels and the like can be dispensed with. An essential property of these dosing pumps is that even at the beginning and at the end of the spraying process, the liquid is only atomized and not released in large drops. For this purpose, the outlet valve is provided, which opens only when the liquid pressure is sufficient.
- Such a metering pump is known, for example, from FR-A 2 133 259.
- the structure of this pump is also described in detail in EP-A-o 342 651.
- manual pressure on the hollow pump piston releases the liquid in a pump chamber through the interior of the pump piston and out through a spray opening. If no external pressure is exerted on the pump piston, it moves back to its starting position due to the action of a return spring.
- a negative pressure is created in the pump chamber, so that the pump chamber is filled again with the liquid.
- valve cone which is movably arranged within the pump piston and which, when there is sufficient pressure in the pump chamber, makes the connection to the spray opening, is against the pump piston by means of a sealing lip which runs around the valve cone sealed.
- the liquid does not pass the sealing lip under pressure, i.e. as long as the sealing lip still performs its function reasonably well. If there is a major leak, however, the cavity in the valve cone will fill with liquid under the same pressure as that outside the valve cone
- the invention is based on the object of designing the dosing pump mentioned at the outset in such a way that there is no longer any leakage between the pump piston and the valve cone and
- sealing element is an elastic washer, the outer circumference of which is tight between the first piston piece and the second piston piece of the pump piston adjoining it
- valve cone and its closing spring receiving interior of the second piston piece is always sealed.
- a seal is provided between the valve cone and the inner wall of the pump piston, the relative position of which is fixed both at the point of contact between the seal and the pump piston and at the point of contact between the seal and the valve cone, and which is fixed at one Movement of the valve cone deformed elastically.
- the sealing element therefore does not move along an adjacent wall, there can also be no friction and therefore no wear of the sealing element with the result of an increasing leakage.
- the sealing element can be dimensioned such that no more leaks due to plastic flow of the sealing element can occur.
- FIG. 5 shows a special embodiment of a nonreturn valve for the metering pumps of FIGS. 1 to 4.
- 1 and 2 is a longitudinal section through a
- FIG. 30 represents the first embodiment of the metering pump according to the invention. 1 shows the metering pump in the normal rest position when no pressure is exerted thereon, and FIG. 2 shows the metering pump when a force F is exerted thereon immediately after the atomization of a liquid dose.
- the metering pump of FIGS. 1 and 2 has an essentially cylindrical pump housing 10.
- a bracket 20 which by means of a radial ring flange 22 can be placed on the opening of a (not shown) container for the liquid to be sprayed in such a way that the ring flange 22 abuts the container opening and, for example, with the aid of a closure cap (also not shown) on the container can be attached.
- the holder 20 also has an axially extending inner jacket 24 projecting into the interior of the pump housing 10. The interior of the container is connected to the ambient air via recesses 26 in the holder 20 when the force F is exerted on the metering pump (FIG. 2).
- the lower end of the pump housing 10 runs out into a connecting nipple 30 which serves to receive an immersion tube which extends approximately to the bottom of the container and through which the liquid is sucked in. (The dip tube is not shown.)
- An axially movable pump piston 40 is arranged in the interior of the pump housing 10.
- the pump piston 40 has an elongated, hollow piston shaft 42 with an axial outlet channel 43 which protrudes upward from the pump housing 10 and is placed on the actuation button (not shown) which has a spray opening (also not shown) is seen from which the liquid to be sprayed emerges when the metering pump is actuated.
- a first piston piece 44 adjoins the piston shaft 42 in one piece in the axial direction and lying within the pump housing 10. In the extension of the axial outlet channel 43 of the piston skirt 42, there is a valve opening 45 with a valve seat 45 in the first piston piece 44.
- the first piston piece 44 On the outside, the first piston piece 44 has two axially spaced sealing lips 48, 49, which on the one hand Sealing the inside of the pump housing 10 to the outside and, on the other hand, together with the inner casing 24 of the holder 20, serve to guide the pump piston 40 during its axial movement.
- a second piston piece 52 is in turn connected to the first piston piece 44.
- the second piston piece 52 has a closed bottom 54, so that it generally has the shape of a cup which is fastened with its upper, open end 53 to the first piston piece 44, for example by means of an annular bead on the inner wall of the second piston piece 52 and one
- the pump piston 40 is held in its rest position by a return spring 56 or brought into this rest position by the spring 56 after actuation of the metering pump. This lies
- the inner jacket 24, in conjunction with the upper sealing lip 48 of the pump piston 40, provides a seal in the rest position of the pump piston 40, so that in this rest position the container is sealed to the outside and no liquid
- the pump piston 40 with the second piston piece 52 and the interior of the pump housing 10 form a pump chamber 60.
- the pump chamber 60 is above a check valve 62, for example a ball valve, with the connecting nipple 30 for suction
- Licher valve cone 70 the upper end of which rests on the valve seat 46 of the first piston piece 44 and thus closes the valve opening 45 and thus the outlet channel 43 leading to the spray opening in the piston skirt 42 as long as the metering pump is not actuated.
- the valve cone 70 is under the action of a second compression spring 72.
- the spring 72 rests on the one hand in the second piston piece 52 against the bottom 54 thereof and on the other hand is supported on guide ribs 74 of the valve cone 70, which guide the valve cone 70 along the inner walls of the second Guide piston 52.
- the pump chamber 60 is sealed off from the interior of the second piston piece 52 by an elastic sealing element 80.
- the pump chamber 60 is connected to the valve seat 46 via the radial channels 64.
- the elastic sealing element 80 is designed as an annular disk, which is tightly clamped on its outer circumference between the first and the second piston pieces 44, 52 and the inner circumference of which is radially preloaded in a Cross-section is arcuate annular groove 82 which is formed in the valve cone 70. Since the shoulder 58, on which the pump piston return spring 56 is supported, is designed as a section 61 of the second piston piece 52 with an enlarged diameter, the outer shoulder 58 corresponds to an inner, annular shoulder-shaped shoulder 59 on which the sealing element 80 seals lies on.
- the widened section 61 of the second piston piece 52 engages over a tubular attachment 47 with outer clamping ribs 55 of the first piston piece 44 provided at angular intervals and is fastened to it by means of an annular latching connection 81.
- the angular distances between the clamping ribs 55 for the sealing element: 80 form the radial passage channels 64.
- the shoulder 47 of the first piston piece 44 projects so far into the section 61 of the second piston piece 52 that the outer circumference of the sealing element 80 between the first and second piston pieces 44, 52 are clamped in a gas- and liquid-tight manner.
- the inner edge of the hole of the sealing element 80 is also gas and liquid-tight in the annular groove 82 of the valve cone 70, so that there is a liquid-tight connection of the sealing element 80 both with the inner wall of the second piston piece 52 of the pump piston 40 and with the valve cone 70 results.
- the sealing element 80 deforms elastically without a displacement movement taking place between the sealing element 80 and the adjacent parts.
- the elastic deformation of the sealing element 80 supports the action of the compression spring 72.
- the ring disk for the sealing element 80 lies with its inner edge of the hole preferably with radial prestress in the ring groove 82 and consists of a plastic material or a rubber material which is suitable in terms of elasticity and compatibility with the liquid to be conveyed.
- the mode of operation of the metering pump is briefly described below.
- the pump chamber 60 is filled without external force and the valve opening 45 and the cutouts 26 are closed by the valve cone 70 and the pump piston 40, respectively, so that the container and the pump chamber 60 are closed off from the outside.
- the force F is exerted on the actuation button and thus on the piston shaft 42 of the pump piston 40, several successive processes take place until the position of the individual parts of the metering pump shown in FIG. 2 is reached. If the pressure force F exceeds the resistance of the return spring 56 at the beginning of the force action, the pump piston 40 moves down as a whole.
- the pump piston 40 is moved upward again into its rest position by the return spring 56. Since the valve cone 70 has already moved upward again within the pump piston 40, the valve opening 45 on the valve seat 46 is also closed again. This creates a negative pressure in the pump chamber 60, through which liquid is sucked from the container into the pump chamber 60 via the check valve 62. The next time the metering pump is actuated, this liquid is then conveyed outside again.
- the sealing element 80 according to the invention brings about a secure seal which is not influenced by wear or aging (creep), so that no liquid can get into the lower region of the interior of the pump piston 40, which could hinder the movement of the valve cone 70 over time.
- the metering pump according to the invention has relatively few Individual parts and is therefore easy to manufacture and easy to assemble.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of the metering pump according to the invention.
- the sealing element 80 is not provided as a separate washer, but is formed in one piece with the valve cone.
- the sealing element 80 is formed here as a circumferential ring flange 90 on the valve cone 70.
- the outer circumference of the ring flange 90 as in the first embodiment, is clamped or clamped in a liquid-tight manner between the tubular extension 47 with the outer clamping ribs 55 of the first piston piece 44 and the shoulder 59 of the second piston piece 52 corresponding to the shoulder 58, and deforms movement of the valve cone 70 is elastic in order to provide a reliable seal on the wall of the pump piston 40.
- this embodiment corresponds to the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- FIG. 3 shows the metering pump in the normal or idle state
- FIG. 4 shows the metering pump when actuated, the processes described above in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2 taking place.
- the special check valve consists of a perforated disk 92 inserted into the transition between the connection nipple 30 and the pump housing 10, onto which a valve element 96 is placed by means of elastic ribs 94 such that the valve opening 98 in the connection nipple 30 when the pump is actuated closes. If, during the upward movement of the pump piston 40 in the pump housing 10, a vacuum is created in the pump chamber 60, the valve element 96 lifts up against the elastic effect of the ribs 94 from the valve opening 93 in the connection nipple 30 and clears the way for the liquid.
