Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for sealing Connect one, a medium under pressure containing reservoir to a consumer element according to the preamble of claim 1 and a Consumer element for such a device according to the Claim 8.
  • a device for Carbonization of drinks is a flat one Sealing ring on a bottom of a recess Consumer element.
  • a connector Thread of the consumer element comes from one end of the Connection element to the sealing ring for the system and is pressed against the same. This creates one Sealing between a valve of the reservoir and the environment. It can happen that only briefly after opening the valve of the storage container an opening pin attached in the consumer element is completely sealed off from the environment.
  • the disadvantage of this device is that a part of the the medium in it will be lost if only after opening the valve of the storage container is completely sealed off from the environment. Is that in the medium located in the reservoir, for example Gas, arises from the rapid outflow of gas in the environment a sound that people who are not are prepared, can scare. Is that yourself medium in the reservoir is a Liquid, contaminates it when it flows out Internal thread of the consumer element.
  • the present invention is based on the object a device of the type mentioned and a To create consumer element, the one The medium is prevented from escaping.
  • the present invention has the advantage that Opening the valve is lossless and practically silent happens. This is particularly due to a special Shape of the sealing element reached.
  • the sealing element is in a solid and impermeable system on a bottom of a recess of the consumer element.
  • the sealing element is designed so that a Seal between the valve of the reservoir and the environment before opening the valve of the Storage container is created as in claim 1 described.
  • the invention can be used particularly advantageously in Carbonizing beverages according to claim 7 contains the pressurized reservoir Carbon dioxide and the consumer element has one Pressure reducing element with which the pressure of the escaping gas in the drink is reduced.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first form of training Device according to the invention, wherein a storage container 12 not completely in the left part of the figure, in the right Part of the figure completely into a consumer element 13 is screwed in.
  • Fig. 1 shows the symmetrical about a longitudinal axis L.
  • Storage container 12 which is a pressurized Medium 14 includes and on his neck Has connecting element 16 with an external thread 18.
  • connection element 16 On its end face, the connection element 16 has a annular sealing surface 20 and a valve 22, which is enclosed by the annular sealing surface 20.
  • Fig. 1 shows a consumer element 13 belonging consumer element body 24. This points in its lower part one around the longitudinal axis L im substantially cylindrical recess 26 with a Bottom 27 of this recess 26. On the lateral surface of the There is an internal thread 28 in recess 26 this internal thread 28 and the bottom 27 is located a circumferential groove 30. There is a Retaining bead 32 of a sealing element 33, the Retaining bead on the left part of the figure Sidewall of the groove, which is the greater distance from the Floor 27 has abuts. In the direction of the longitudinal axis L the width of the groove 30 is measured to be greater than the width of the holding bead 32. This is a game 36 for the Retaining bead 32 given in the groove 30.
  • the part of the sealing element 33 outside the groove 30 is as seen in the left part of Figure 1, in cross section rectangular and has an upper annular Sealing surface 50, which rests on the bottom 27, and a lower annular sealing surface 52 which on the end sealing surface 20 of the connection element 16 is applied.
  • an outgoing from the floor 27 Opening element 34 in the form of a pin.
  • a well-known pressure reducing element 38 which via a connection passage 40 with the recess 26 is in flow connection.
  • the Pressure reducing element 38 serves to reduce the pressure of the gas flowing out of the reservoir 12.
  • On the pressure reducing element 38 can be an outlet valve be connected through which the gas into the Drink can flow out.
  • the sealing element 33 is deformed and the retaining bead 32 is in contact with the side wall of the groove, the with respect to the bottom 27 of the recess 26 the smaller one Distance.
  • the valve 22 is in the open state.
  • the external thread 18 of the connecting element 16 is in the Internal thread 28 of the recess 26 screwed.
  • the retaining bead moves in the process 32 of the sealing element 33 in the circumferential groove 30 in Longitudinal direction L upwards.
  • the stroke of about 0.8 mm is a seal between the valve 22 of the reservoir 12 and the Environment created.
  • the part of the recess 26 to this time with the valve 22 in fluid dynamic Contact is referred to as interior 44.
  • Valve 22 opened by the opening element 34 At the further screwing of the connecting element 16 will Valve 22 opened by the opening element 34.
  • the the stroke required for this also corresponds to about 0.8 mm.
  • Fig. 3 is a second form of training shown device according to the invention. she differs with respect to Fig. 1 in the form of Sealing element 33 and in that no game 36 for the Retaining bead 32 is present in the circumferential groove 30. in the the left part of the figure is not the reservoir 12 complete, complete in the right part of the figure screwed. With this type of training this shows Sealing element 33 sealing lips 46,48, which in cross section Are V-shaped.
  • the lower sealing lip 46 When screwing in, the lower sealing lip 46 in contact with the front annular sealing surface 20 of the storage container 12. When screwing in further the lower sealing lip 46 in the direction of the upper Sealing lip 48 moves, always in contact with the ground 27 of the recess 26 is. After opening the valve 22 of the storage container 12 is located in the interior 44 a higher pressure than in the environment. Through this Due to the pressure difference, a force acts that the lower one Sealing lip 46 on the front annular sealing surface 20 of the storage container 12 and the upper sealing lip 48 presses against the floor 27, and thus a complete Sealing between the interior 44 and the environment creates. When fully screwed in Storage container 12, the lower sealing lip 46 is such on the sealing surface 20 so that the normal vector of the Part of the surface of the lower sealing lip, which on the Sealing surface 20 rests, is parallel to the longitudinal axis L.
  • the consumer element 13 can be, for example also a cock, a slide and the like act.
  • Connection element 16 by means of a line or Hose is connected to the reservoir 12.
