Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for feeding a paste from a a dimensionally stable container arranged with flexible storage containers descending product management in a vacuum-promoting Dosing device, with a follower plate on the flexible storage container is arranged, which exerts pressure on the storage container, and in the bottom of the Container has an opening.
  • Liquid to pasty detergents are known in large numbers. These are generally tailored to household needs, that is, they should be sufficiently liquid and pour and dose easily. There they are also stable in storage over a wide temperature range should not usually come without the use of organic Solvents and / or hydrotropic additives. These additives are however, wash-inactive, comparatively complex and additionally stress Packaging volume or transport and storage capacity. In particular, bothers a content of flammable solvents, which because of the comparatively high Throughput of detergents in laundries additionally Safety precautions are required. Detergent concentrates of the type mentioned are therefore of little or no use for laundries.
  • the technical problem underlying the invention is that training known arrangement so that the supply of the paste with simple Means is safe and controllable and the arrangement one tight connection to the dosing device which promotes negative pressure and a trouble-free, complete emptying guaranteed.
  • This problem is solved in that in the known arrangement at the edge of the opening a sealing arrangement is present, within which a tight connection from flexible storage container for access to the metering device can be represented, and access to the metering device can be blocked.
  • the proposed arrangement has the advantage that the flexible storage container is completely emptied, since it is ensured that the material of the flexible Container does not clog or obstruct the paste conveying paths. This could easily happen when the connection between the flexible storage containers and the access to the dosing device would not be airtight or through the Emptying the unstressed supply container. Parts of the container material advance and cover the container outlet ahead of time before the whole Paste is emptied.
  • the knife is arranged so that it protrudes into the lower container space, expediently a corresponding recess in the follower plate provided such that the flexible material guided under the follower plate Containers even when the outer rim is placed on the bottom of the container Knife not touched.
  • This also supports in a meaningful manner that at almost empty container in the peripheral areas of the container existing paste first through the lowering follower plate in the direction of the Center is displaced and the remnants of the paste are then in the room concentrate in the opening or between the bottom of the container and the Recess is formed in the follower plate.
  • the knife is cruciform trained what the provision of free in a very simple and effective manner Cross-sections for pasting easier.
  • the cruciform also causes Incision in the container material the formation of material corners, which are in the Shift the flow of the paste within the sealing arrangement in the direction of flow and do not obstruct the river.
  • the inventive concept is implemented in such a way that in the area of the flexible container that when inserted into the container the container opening is set, a commercially available container neck is inserted whose clamping ring is placed on the edge of the opening. Through the The opening then protrudes in the direction of the metering device. Will in this Neck an insert tightly inserted, both against the surrounding atmosphere as well as with a channel arranged in the flow direction against the Dosing device is sealable, can be done with simple means and very effective the tight connection of the container with the dosing device being represented.
  • the paste is so viscous that a cap of the channel can be removed before the container in the container and thus the channel in access to the dosing device is used. Should the paste become more fluid be, causing an unintentional leakage of paste before tight connection Access to the metering device could occur, which can be advantageous Ways are taken into account that the channel with a Insert into the opening of the dosing device that can be opened automatically Closure is equipped.
  • a sleeve arranged in the wall of which has at least one cut-out that differs from the transition of the channel to the sleeve extends just below the upper edge of the sleeve, this advantageously stabilizes the paste outflow and ensures complete emptying of the container.
  • a sleeve arranged in the wall of which has at least one cut-out that differs from the transition of the channel to the sleeve extends just below the upper edge of the sleeve
  • the access 3 through a Closure 4 is lockable.
  • a fixed Container 5 with an opening 9 placed in the bottom.
  • a flexible container 6 used, which is also useful as Transport container for the washing paste is used.
  • the flexible container 6 is one Follower plate 7 is placed, which has a weight of a few kilos and so in the Container fits that between follower plate 7 and inner container wall only one there is a small gap. In this gap, if necessary, if the flexible Container is designed to be arranged a protrusion of the material which the flexible container 6 is made.
  • a sealing ring 10th in the opening 9 of the container is arranged.
  • This sealing ring points obliquely upwards circumferential sealing lip 11. Since the sealing ring 10 in the housing Dosing device 2 inserted and the container bottom into the annular Keyway is inserted between the sealing ring 10 and sealing lip 11, this provides Arrangement an effective seal of the system against the Surrounding.
  • the protruding into the container or container volume cross-shaped knife 12 slits the material 20 of the flexible container 6, when this is inserted into the container 5 and pressed down. Bend between the cross-shaped blades of the knife 12 the sliced bag corners that give way to the pressure of the paste below so that they do not resist the paste. In the There is enough free cross-section for the segments between the blades Paste passage available that can enter the connecting channel 18. There is a transition to the access 3 of the metering device 2, which in the illustrated state is sealed by a closure 4.
  • the injector can operate on the principle of a Water jet pump created negative pressure to suck the paste effective become. After dosing the specified amount, access 3 is restored closed so that no further paste can be conveyed.
  • Fig. 2 an embodiment is shown in which in the flexible container 6 a commercial container neck 13 is inserted such that this Insert the flexible container 6 into the container 5 in the opening 9 of the Container fits.
  • the flat underside of the clamping ring 14 lies on the Edge of the opening 9 on.
  • An insert is in the central opening of the container neck 13 15 used by a radially outward ring web and a ring bead protruding radially outwards against the sleeve-shaped part of the Neck 13 is set.
  • the cylindrical outer wall of the insert 15 is on its container end bent radially inwards and goes into one Channel 16 over, which is slightly conical facing away from the container.
  • This channel 16 is closed at the lower end with a cap, not shown. Is this Cap integrated with the channel 16, it is before the insertion of the Container 6 separated into the container, which results in a higher viscosity of the paste does not lead to leakage.
  • a special one can be used for low viscosity pastes Embodiment may also be designed so that the cap Insert the channel 16 in the access 3 to the dosing device automatically opens.
  • the slightly conical design of the channel 16 allows a tight connection the access 3.
  • a sleeve 17 On the container-side crest of the insert 15 is a sleeve 17 arranged, which protrudes into the container volume.
  • a Cutout 19 available, which extends from the transition of the bead into the sleeve extends just below the upper edge of the sleeve.
  • annular sealing elements 22 In one up extending annular web 21 of the metering device 2, within it the connecting channel 18 is formed, are annular sealing elements 22 on the outside provided that a seal between the metering device 2 and the allow this web mounted insert 15.
  • the proposed arrangement in which at the edge of the opening 9 Sealing arrangement is present, within which a tight connection from flexible storage container 6 for access 3 to the metering device 2 can be represented, is suitable, also in the form of the two alternative solutions, in special way to combine with a metering device 2, the one Injector 23 has.
  • this injector is via a lockable channel 25 high-tension fluid, such as pressurized water, which is after passing through the injector nozzle 23 into a relaxing water opposite access 27 flows to a measuring section.
  • the one after Principle of a water jet pump working injector 23 generated on the Suction side 24 a negative pressure that through the feed channel 26 to the access 3rd can be transferred to the metering device 2.
  • the pressure-tight connection between flexible container 6 and the access 3 allows advantageously Way that this vacuum sucks the paste from the flexible container 6 and feeds the metering device 2.
  • the two channels 25 and 26 are thereby closed by a double control piston system.
