Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pump and more particularly to a diaphragm pump.
  • the conventional pumps generally comprise a body intended to communicate at the bottom with a dip tube via an intake valve and to connect at the top to the edge of a tank and containing a metering chamber sealed at the top by compression means provided with an exhaust valve and a return member that can be actuated by manual support on a dispensing head provided with an exhaust duct.
  • the invention aims to solve these technical problems for the sake of simplification and therefore economy but without compromising the qualities of reliability and accuracy of the pump.
  • said return member comprises an elastically deformable internal membrane carried by the dispensing head and cooperating with a rigid cup fixed under said head and defining with said membrane the dosing chamber.
  • EP-A-0 452 260 discloses a pump having a membrane which serves as a return member. This membrane caps a rigid cup which delimits the bottom of the metering chamber. The plunger tube is integral with this rigid cup, a valve being attached to the upper opening of this tube. A plate, fixed under the membrane, is opposite the bottom of the chamber.
  • EP-A-0 951 944 also discloses a pump having a membrane which serves as a return member.
  • a tubular member attached to this diaphragm has an upper portion which extends into the metering chamber and which carries the inlet valve to its end, and a lower portion which is fixed around the dip tube, under the bottom wall of the metering chamber.
  • the invention aims at an increased simplification of the pump, without compromising its qualities of reliability and precision and by reducing the internal volume of the metering chamber when pressing on the dispensing head.
  • said membrane has, in the free state, a U-shaped section and comprises a cylindrical base coaxially and sealingly mounted around the upper part of the plunger tube which projects into the dosing chamber .
  • said membrane comprises at least one feed orifice and a central solid disc capable of sealingly pressing against the upper orifice of the plunger tube by forming an intake valve.
  • the central solid disc is connected to said membrane by three radial bridges delimiting between them as many feed orifices.
  • said rigid cup comprises a central ejection channel opening into the discharge duct of the dispensing head via said exhaust valve.
  • the lower edge of said rigid cup is formed of a peripheral collar intended to deformingly press against said membrane.
  • said cup is housed at least partially inside said membrane.
  • the free edge of said membrane is trapped by said cup inside the dispensing head.
  • the outer wall of said membrane comprises a peripheral rib ensuring both the setting of the lower edge of the dispensing head and a free sliding relative to the inner wall of the body.
  • said exhaust valve consists of a flexible tongue carried transversely by the lower end of the outlet duct of the dispensing head.
  • the pump of the invention has a very simple structure without any metal element.
  • the pump P of the invention shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B is intended for dispensing liquid or pasty products contained in a reservoir R.
  • This pump is here of the "airless” type that is to say without air intake and is therefore associated with a movable bottom F ensuring both the containment of the product inside the tank R and the scraping of its inner wall.
  • the bottom F is here able to move downwards during the successive stages of distribution from a high filling position of the tank R shown in FIG. 1A.
  • the pump P comprises a body 1 intended to communicate, in the lower part via an intake valve with a tube 2 immersed in the product, and to connect, in the upper part, to the upper edge of the tank R.
  • the body 1 is provided of spacers E ensuring the locking up of the movable bottom F during filling of the reservoir R.
  • the body 1 contains a metering chamber 10 sealingly closed in the upper part by compression means provided with an exhaust valve and a return member. These compression means forming a piston can exert pressure on the product filling the chamber 10 by being actuated by manual support on a dispensing head T which caps the pump P by forming a push button and which is provided with a conduit exhaust C.
  • the return member comprises an inner membrane 3 made of an elastically deformable material such as an elastomer (silicone, rubber ...) carried by the head T and cooperating with a rigid cup 4 fixed under the head T and delimiting, with the membrane 3, the metering chamber 10.
  • an elastically deformable material such as an elastomer (silicone, rubber )
  • the membrane 3 comprises at least one supply port 30 and a central solid disc 31 adapted to be pressed tightly on the upper orifice 20 of the tube 2 thus forming the intake valve.
  • the disk 31 is connected to the membrane 3 by three radial bridges 32 delimiting between them as many supply orifices 30.
  • the membrane 3 is made in one piece with the bridges 32 and the disc 31.
  • the membrane 3 has a substantially U-shaped cross section defining an inverted bell shape and comprises a cylindrical base 33 mounted coaxially and sealingly around the upper part of the dip tube 2 which projects inside. of the body 1.
  • the upper part of the tube 2 is provided with a cylindrical shoulder 21 which connects to the bottom 11 of the body 1 and on which the base 33 is fitted with tight radial clamping.
  • the rigid cup 4 comprises a central cylindrical ejection channel 40 opening into the exhaust duct C of the head T via the exhaust valve.
  • the channel 40 communicates in the lower part with the metering chamber 10 and is preferably nested on the conduit C of the head T.
  • the cup 4 is housed, at least partially inside the membrane 3 of U-section.
  • the lower edge of the cup 4 is formed of a peripheral collar 41 intended to bear deforming against the inner wall of the membrane 3 as shown in Figures 2 and 3 in the product distribution phase.
  • the free edge of the membrane is trapped by the cup 4 inside the head T.
  • the free edge of the cup 4 is provided with a transverse flange 42 snapped into a corresponding profile housing formed on the inner wall of the head T thus wedging the membrane interposed.
  • the assembly consisting of the head T, the membrane 3 and the cup 4 is retained in the body 1 only by the radial clamping action of the base 33 of the membrane 3 on the connecting shoulder 21 of the tube 2.
  • the assembly will be reinforced by welding or gluing the base 33 on the shoulder 21 and / or on the bottom 11 of the body 1.
  • the outer wall of the membrane 3 comprises a peripheral rib 34 ensuring both the setting of the lower edge of the head T and a free sliding relative to the inner wall of the body 1 allowing the free exhaust.
  • the bottom 11 of the body 1 is equipped with axial fins 12 forming end stops for the rib 34 of the membrane 3.
  • the height of the fins 12 thus determines the maximum degree of deformation of the membrane 3 and therefore the volume of product dispensed per dose.
  • the exhaust valve is preferably constituted by a flexible tongue f carried transversely by the end of the exhaust duct C of the head T.
  • a manual support on the head T causes the lowering of the cup 4 and the deformation of the membrane 3 inside the body 1.
  • the end of the downward stroke of the head T and the cup 4 corresponds to the abutment contact of the rib 34 of the membrane 3 on the fins 12 of the body 1.
  • the tongue f has folded on its seat by closing the channel 40.
  • Each distribution phase is accompanied by a displacement of the mobile bottom F inside the tank R.
