Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressure container for receiving viscous substances with an outlet valve which is adjustable between a closed position and an open position, a movable valve element being movable in the direction of the interior of the container in order to release an opening cross section.
- the closing element of the first opening cross section is preferably arranged directly at the end of the movable valve element facing the interior of the container.
- the valve element can be hollow and form the outlet opening or nozzle for the substance stored in the container.
- Such a valve element can be made in one piece particularly inexpensively, for example from plastic.
- the valve element can be guided in an axially movable manner in a valve housing, which is pressure-tightly connected to a housing of the pressure container, or rotatably seated in the valve housing via a threaded connection.
- the return springs already mentioned can be provided in a suitable design. Examples of such spring elements are conventional standard springs or elements made of rubber or elastic plastics.
- the closing element of the second opening cross section forms a movable intermediate element which, in a further preferred embodiment, can be taken along by a driver provided on the valve element to release the second opening cross section after the first opening cross section has been released.
- a functionally reliable dispensing valve can be constructed with very few components.
- the valve housing is made of plastic and a hold-down device is provided for the pressure-tight connection to the container, which is flanged over an annular flange of the valve housing and an upper end of the container.
- the use of the hold-down device makes it possible to connect the plastic body of the valve housing in a pressure-tight manner to the container, which generally consists of sheet metal, or its upper end, the so-called top.
- the sealing ring is preferably located between the upper end of the top and the underside of the ring flange made of plastic, it being particularly preferred to use a sealing ring designed as an annular disk which, in the initial state, projects radially beyond the ring flange of the valve housing before being attached to the container. It has been shown that a particularly good sealing effect is achieved in this way, in particular if, owing to the flanging, the sealing ring comes directly between the hold-down device and the sheet metal part of the container.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section of a pressure container 10, which is provided for receiving a viscous substance under pressure, in particular frozen substances, such as. B. ice cream.
- the walls 12 of the container can consist of sheet metal or aluminum, and an outlet valve 14 is arranged in a pressure-tight manner in an opening in the wall 12, which will be discussed in more detail later in connection with FIG. 2.
- an actuating lever 48 is provided, which is articulated on the one hand at an articulation point 50 on the valve housing 16 and on the other hand at a second articulation point 52 on the valve element 18. The resulting translation reduces the actuation forces required for the opening movement of the valve element 18.
- FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of the area in which the valve housing 16 is connected to an upper part 51 of the container 12, the so-called top.
- the valve housing 16 has an annular flange 53 which is designed with its outer end curved slightly downward.
- a hold-down device 54 seated on the circumferential surface of the valve housing 16 is flanged around the ring flange 53 and around an upper bent end 56 of the top 51, a disk-shaped sealing ring 58 lying between the end 56 and the underside of the ring flange 53 being clamped in such a way that he also fills the gap between the end 56 and the hold-down 54 itself.
- valve housing 16 made of plastic is connected in a known manner pressure-tightly to a wall of the container 12 with its lower, radially outer end shown in FIG. 2 ,
- Valve housing 16 and also the sealing ring 58 are arranged on the underside of the flange 52 on the valve housing 16. A catch in the area of the valve housing 16 can provide that the hold-down device 54 is held captively on the valve housing 16 in the initial state.
