Definitions
- the invention relates to a dispensing device for fluids from a sealed storage container.
- Metering pumps of this type allow the delivery of a certain amount of a fluid from a storage container.
- EP-0 739 247 B1 describes an air equalization-free metering pump which is intended for spraying liquids, the service life of which is reduced on contact with atmospheric oxygen.
- the known metering pump has a pressure cylinder protruding into the fluid container, in which a piston with an axial pump channel is sealingly guided.
- a pressure chamber is formed in the pressure cylinder and is bounded by the piston and by a ball valve which acts in relation to the fluid container and which closes in the event of excess pressure and opens in the event of negative pressure and is connected to the axial pump channel.
- the piston is held in the upper rest position by spring force.
- EP-0 739 247 B1 therefore proposes to suck off the residual air via the axial pump channel.
- openings are provided in the pressure cylinder.
- the piston is sealingly guided by a peripheral sealing lip only over part of the pressure cylinder.
- the residual air can thus be sucked out of the bag through the openings in the pressure cylinder, the gap between the inner wall of the pressure cylinder and the outer wall of the piston into the pressure chamber and from the pressure chamber via the axial pump channel.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a dispensing device for fluids from a sealed storage container, in which the removal of residual air is possible in a particularly simple manner.
- the residual air in the storage container is not drawn off via the axial pump channel, but rather via a passage which is formed between the outer wall of the piston and the inner wall of the pressure cylinder above the opening in the pressure cylinder.
- means are provided which are such that residual air can be sucked out of the storage container through the passage when a negative pressure is applied, but otherwise the passage is closed. Since the residual air is not extracted via the axial pump channel, the protective cap does not need to be removed from the dispensing device.
- the passage between the piston and the pressure cylinder leads into a space to be pressurized, which is formed in the housing body.
- a vacuum pump for generating the negative pressure is connected to the housing body to extract the residual air.
- the means for closing the passage are preferably designed as a sealing washer with a circular recess in which the piston is sealingly guided.
- a sealing washer which is preferably made of polyethylene, can be inserted into the housing body without major manufacturing outlay.
- the passage for sucking off the residual air between the piston and the pressure cylinder is preferably a gap, ie the piston is not sealingly guided in this area of the pressure cylinder. Instead of a gap, longitudinal grooves or the like can also be provided in the inner wall of the pressure cylinder and / or the outer wall of the piston.
- One or more openings can be provided in the pressure cylinder for extracting the air.
- the openings in the pressure cylinder are preferably slots distributed circumferentially.
- the housing body has two housing parts, each with a cylindrical section, which are displaceable relative to one another for actuating the piston.
- These two housing parts preferably enclose the space to be pressurized and preferably seal against one another when they are compressed, so that the piston is advanced into the pressure chamber.
- the cylindrical sections of the two housing parts can also be sealed against one another with an annular seal or the like so that a vacuum can be built up in the space enclosed by the two parts even when the piston is not in the advanced position.
- the piston is preferably sealed below the opening in the rotary cylinder only by a peripheral sealing lip at the lower end of the piston, the pressure cylinder being expanded in such a way that the sealing effect of the sealing lip is lost in this area at the lower end of the pressure chamber.
- the two housing parts of the housing body are pressed together, so that the piston is advanced into the pressure chamber.
- the two seal Housing parts against each other, and the sealing lip of the piston seals against the pressure cylinder.
- the sealing lip lies sealingly below the extension of the pressure cylinder on its inner wall.
- the sealing lip can also lie below the extension on a shoulder of the pressure cylinder, which forms a lower stop for the piston.
- the valve acting in relation to the storage container does not need to be closed by means of a plunger or the like, which increases the manufacturing outlay due to the high dimensional accuracy.
- the housing body can be attached to the storage container, in particular a glass or plastic bottle, by means of a clamp or screw cap.
- FIG. 1 the dispensing device together with the storage container in a sectional view, the piston being in the rest position, FIG. 2 a section along the line II-II of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 shows the detail A of FIG. 1 in an enlarged view
- FIG. 4 shows the dispensing device from FIG. 1 together with a suction device for sucking off the residual air, the piston being in the advanced position
- FIG. 5 shows the detail B from FIG. 4 in an enlarged view
- Fig. 6 is a partial view of the pressure cylinder with the piston of an alternative Ausry approximate shape in an enlarged view.
- the dispensing device is intended for spraying a liquid from a storage container 1 with a collapsible bag 1 a, which is inserted into the storage container.
- the housing body 2 of the dispensing device consists of a lower housing part 3 and an upper housing part 4, which is placed on the lower housing part 3.
- the lower housing part 3 of the housing body is designed as a closure cap which is snapped and sealed onto the storage container 1.
- the lower housing part 3 receives a pressure cylinder 5 which extends into the storage container 1.
- a pressure chamber 6 is formed which is delimited at the upper end by a piston 7 guided in the pressure cylinder and at the lower end by a ball valve 8 acting in relation to the storage container 1.
- the piston 7 has a lower section 7a and an upper section 7b, the outer diameter of the lower section being slightly larger than the diameter of the upper section.
- the pressure cylinder 5 accordingly has a lower section 5a with a larger inner diameter and an upper section 5b with a smaller diameter.
- the lower section 7a of the piston 7 is biased against the upper section 5b of the printing cylinder 5 by means of a compression spring 9 inserted into the pressure cylinder 5.
- the upper section 5b of the pressure cylinder 5 has at its upper edge an annular extension 26 with a plurality of grooves 27 arranged circumferentially distributed.
- the inner diameter of the annular extension 26 corresponds to the outer diameter of the piston 7, so that the piston is guided in the extension (FIG. 2).
- the gap 10 between the upper section 7b of the piston and the upper section 5b of the pressure cylinder 5 is closed by a flexible sealing washer 19.
- the sealing washer 19 is made of polyethylene and has a circular recess 20 in the center, in which the piston 7 is sealingly guided.
- the outer edge of the sealing washer 19 is sealingly inserted into the lower housing part 3 of the housing body 2, the sealing washer with its underside resting on a circumferential shoulder 21 of the housing body in the region of the outer edge, but is freely movable in the inner region.
- the pressure cylinder 5 Above the pressure chamber 6, the pressure cylinder 5 is provided with a plurality of slots 12 which are distributed around the circumference.
- the piston 7 has an axial pump channel 14 which is connected to a riser pipe 15 which is fastened to the upper housing part 4.
- the upper end of the riser pipe 15 is closed with a check valve 16.
- a spray head 17 is provided above the check valve for spraying the liquid.
- a sealing cap 30 sits on the riser pipe 15 and seals the pump channel 14 in a sealing manner.
- the upper and lower housing parts 3, 4 of the housing body 2 each have a cylindrical section 3 a, 4a, which are displaceable relative to one another.
- an opening 24 is provided on the upper housing part 4 for extracting the residual air.
- the dispensing arrangement works as follows. It is initially assumed that the storage container 1 is filled with liquid, but the dispensing device is still free of liquid. When the upper and lower housing parts 3, 4 of the housing body 2 are pressed together, the piston 7 moves into the pressure chamber 6, the air in the pressure chamber being able to escape through the axial pump channel 14 and the riser pipe 15. The check valve 16 is open and the ball valve 8 is closed due to the excess pressure in the pressure chamber. When the piston snaps back due to the spring force, a negative pressure is created in the pressure chamber, so that the ball valve 8 opens and the check valve 16 closes. As a result of the negative pressure, liquid is sucked from the reservoir 1 into the pressure chamber. If the piston is then advanced again, the liquid is pressed out of the pressure chamber 6 via the axial pump channel 14 and the riser pipe 15, the check valve 16 opening and the ball valve 8 closing.
- the residual air is drawn off by means of a vacuum pump, not shown, which has a suction device 28 designed in the manner of a cap, to which the pressure hose 29 of the vacuum pump is connected.
- the suction cap is placed in a sealing manner on the upper housing part 3 of the housing body 2 of the dispensing device, the opening 24 of the housing part 3 lying inside the suction cap.
- the cap 30 does not need to be removed. The vacuum pump is then switched on.
- FIG. 6 shows a partial view of an alternative embodiment of the pressure cylinder 5 'with the piston 7' in the region of the extension 13 '.
- the piston 7 ' is supported in this embodiment with its sealing lip 11' on an inwardly projecting shoulder 31 of the pressure cylinder below the extension 13 ', so that the pressure chamber 6 regardless of the position of the
- Ball valve 8 is closed.
- the paragraph 31 also forms a front stop for the piston, which can be particularly easily attached to the riser during assembly.
