Abstract

The dispenser valve has a valve part (10) and at least two open positions with different outlet cross-sectional areas. The valve part is vertically adjustable and the open positions can be provided one above the other. After a short opening path the valve part releases a small outlet cross-section, after a medium opening path releases a larger cross-section and then after a longer opening path releases the largest cross-section. Independent claim describes container filled with flowable material where outlet valve has a closing position and two or more superposed opening positions.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Ausgabeventil für einen ein fließfähiges Medium enthaltenden Behälter, mit einem in eine Offenstellung bewegbaren Ventilteil, der in einer Ruhestellung einen Auslass verschlossen hält, sowie einen mit einem derartigen Ausgabeventil versehenen Behälter.The invention relates to a dispensing valve for a flowable medium containing Container, with a movable in an open position valve member, in a rest position holding an outlet closed, as well as one with such a dispensing valve provided container.

Derartige Ausgabeventile sind in einem Verschlusselement der Behälteröffnung angeordnet, in die sie im Allgemeinen nach der Füllung eingesetzt und fixiert werden. Um den Behälterinhalt insbesondere portionsweise entnehmen zu können, wird der Ventilteil in die Offenstellung bewegt, wofür verschiedene Möglichkeiten gegeben sind.Such dispensing valves are arranged in a closure element of the container opening, into which they are generally inserted and fixed after filling. To the To be able to remove container contents in particular in portions, the valve member is in the Open position moves, for which different possibilities are given.

Der Ventilteil kann verdreht werden. Ein Beispiel für eine Dosiereinrichtung mit einem verdrehbaren Ventilteil zeigt die WO 99/18026 oder die US 5,715,877.The valve part can be twisted. An example of a metering device with a rotatable valve member shows the WO 99/18026 or US 5,715,877.

Der Ventilteil kann axial verschoben werden. Ein Beispiel für eine Dosiereinrichtung mit einem axial verschiebbaren Ventilteil zeigt die WO 93/13009.The valve member can be moved axially. An example of a metering device with an axially displaceable valve member, WO 93/13009.

Der Ventilteil kann verdreht und axial verschoben werden. Ein Beispiel für eine Dosiereinrichtung mit einem derartigen Ventilteil zeigt die WO 01/28914.The valve part can be twisted and moved axially. An example of one Dosing device with such a valve member is shown in WO 01/28914.

Wenn das Ventil geöffnet ist, so fließt eine bestimmte Menge des Mediums aus, wobei die Menge vom Öffnungsquerschnitt von der Öffnungszeit abhängt, beispielsweise von der Dauer der Betätigung einer entsprechenden Handhabe.When the valve is open, a certain amount of the medium flows out, with the Amount depends on the opening cross-section of the opening time, for example from the Duration of actuation of a corresponding handle.

Die Erfindung stellt nun ein Ausgabeventil zur Verfügung, mittels dem wahlweise zumindest zwei unterschiedliche Mengen pro Zeiteinheit aus dem Behälter entnommen werden können, indem das Ausgabeventil zumindest zwei Offenstellungen mit unterschiedlichen Auslassquerschnitten aufweist.The invention now provides a dispensing valve by means of which optionally at least two different quantities per unit of time can be removed from the container, by the dispensing valve at least two open positions with different Having outlet cross sections.

Dem Ausgabeventil ist bevorzugt pro Offenstellung eine Betätigungshandhabe zugeordnet, sodass durch Wahl der Handhabe der Ventilteil in die jeweilige Offenstellung überführt wird.The dispensing valve is preferably assigned an actuating handle per open position, so that the valve part is transferred into the respective open position by selecting the handle.

Für die Überführung in die Offenstellungen ist jede der drei oben angegebenen Möglichkeiten denkbar. Wird der Behälter kopfstehend in eine Dosiervorrichtung eingesetzt, so ist in bevorzugter Ausführung vorgesehen, dass der Ventilteil höhenverstellbar ist, und die beiden Offenstellungen übereinander vorgesehen sind. Bei der Höheriverstellung des Ventilteiles werden somit nacheinander die einzelnen Offenstellungen erreicht, wobei die Reihenfolge an sich nicht von Bedeutung ist. Bevorzugt ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass der Ventilteil nach einem kurzen Öffnungsweg in der ersten Offenstellung einen kleinen Auslassquerschnitt und nach einem längeren Öffnungsweg in der zweiten Offenstellung den größeren Auslassquerschnitt freigibt.For the transfer to the open positions, each of the three above is indicated Possibilities conceivable. If the container is placed inverted in a dosing device, it is provided in a preferred embodiment, that the valve member is height adjustable, and the both open positions are provided one above the other. At the higher level the valve member are thus successively achieved the individual open positions, wherein the Order in itself is not important. However, it is preferably provided that the Valve part after a short opening stroke in the first open position a small Outlet cross section and after a longer opening path in the second open position the larger outlet cross-section releases.

Jeder Auslassquerschnitt wird insbesondere durch diskrete Austrittsöffnungen bestimmt, die nacheinander im Öffnungsweg vorgesehen sind. Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass die aus dem Behälter austretende Menge nicht von der präzisen Handhabung des Ventilteils abhängig ist, sodass Ungenauigkeiten aller Art, etwa bei der Herstellung des Ausgabeventils, bei der Herstellung des Behälters, in der Betätigungsmechanik der Dosiereinrichtung, usw. keine Auswirkungen auf die dosierte Menge aufweisen. Die jeweilige Weglänge bis zur Freigabe der entsprechenden Austrittsöffnung ist eher unkritisch.Each outlet cross section is determined in particular by discrete outlet openings which are provided successively in the opening path. This offers the advantage that the from the Container escaping quantity is not dependent on the precise handling of the valve member, so inaccuracies of all kinds, such as in the production of the dispensing valve, in the Production of the container, in the actuating mechanism of the metering device, etc. no Have effects on the metered amount. The respective path length until release the corresponding outlet is rather uncritical.

Bei der durchaus denkbaren Möglichkeit, dass sich der Auslassquerschnitt durch die Bewegung des Ventilteils kontinuierlich vergrößert, ist dieser Spielraum nicht gegeben. In einer derartigen Ausführung ist dann vorzugsweise eine Justiereinrichtung vorgesehen.In the quite conceivable possibility that the outlet cross section through the Movement of the valve member increases continuously, this margin is not given. In Such an embodiment is then preferably provided an adjusting device.

Wenn in der ersten Offenstellung eine erste Austrittsöffnung, und in der zweiten Offenstellung eine zweite Austrittsöffnung geöffnet ist, so sind zwei verschiedene Möglichkeiten gegeben. Zum Einen kann die erste Austrittsöffnung geöffnet bleiben, sodass der größere Auslassquerschnitt sich aus der Summe der beiden Austrittsöffnungen ergibt, wobei die zweite Austrittsöffnung kleiner, gleich oder größer sein kann, da sie in jedem Fall die erste Austrittsöffnung ergänzt.When in the first open position, a first outlet opening, and in the second Open position, a second outlet opening is open, so are two different Possibilities given. On the one hand, the first outlet opening remain open, so that the larger outlet cross-section results from the sum of the two outlet openings, wherein the second outlet opening may be smaller, equal or larger, as they are in any case the first outlet is added.

Im zweiten Fall wird die erste Austrittsöffnung wieder verschlossen, wenn die zweite geöffnet wird. In diesem Fall ist die zweite Austrittsöffnung größer, wenn wie oben bevorzugt angegeben, die zweite Austrittsöffnung den größeren Auslassquerschnitt, und kleiner, wenn die erste Austrittsöffnung den größeren Auslassquerschnitt aufweisen soll.In the second case, the first outlet opening is closed again when the second one is opened becomes. In this case, the second exit opening is larger, if preferred as above indicated, the second outlet opening the larger outlet cross-section, and smaller, if the first outlet opening should have the larger outlet cross-section.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des Ausgabeventils sieht vor, dass das Ausgabeventil ein in die Behälteröffnung einsetzbares hohlzylindrisches Verschlusselement aufweist, in dem der bewegbare Ventilteil kolbenartig dichtend geführt ist, und dass die Austrittsöffnungen durch zumindest zwei axial versetzte Löcher in einer Seitenwand des Verschlusselementes gebildet sind, die beim Hub des Ventilteils das Behälterinnere mit der Umgebung strömungsverbinden. Wenn der Behälter keine flexiblen, sondern im Wesentlichen steife Wandungen aufweist, so ist weiters vorgesehen, dass der Ventilteil einen axialen Lufteinlasskanal aufweist.A preferred embodiment of the dispensing valve provides that the dispensing valve a In the container opening usable hollow cylindrical closure element, in which the movable valve member is guided piston-like sealing, and that the outlet openings by at least two axially offset holes in a side wall of the closure element are formed, which in the stroke of the valve member, the container interior with the environment flow-connect. If the container is not flexible, but essentially Having rigid walls, it is further provided that the valve member has an axial Air inlet channel has.

Nachstehend werden zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung an Hand der Figuren der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher beschrieben, ohne darauf beschränkt zu sein.Hereinafter, two embodiments of the invention with reference to the figures of attached to the accompanying drawings, without being limited thereto.

Es zeigen:
Die Fig. 1 bis 4 jeweils Axialschnitte durch ein in einen kopfstehenden Behälter eingesetztes Ausgabeventil, wobei aus Fig. 1 die Schließ- oder Ruhestellung, aus Fig. 2 eine erste Offenstellung, aus Fig. 3 eine zweite Offenstellung und aus Fig. 4 eine dritte Offenstellung ersichtlich ist, und Fig. 5 und 6 Axialschnitte gemäß Fig. 1 und 4 durch ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel.Show it:
FIGS. 1 to 4 each show axial sections through a dispensing valve inserted into an upright container, FIG. 1 showing the closed or inoperative position, FIG. 2 showing a first open position, FIG. 3 showing a second open position and FIG. 4 a third Open position is visible, and Fig. 5 and 6 axial sections according to FIGS. 1 and 4 by a second embodiment.

Ein Ausgabeventil 2 weist ein an den Querschnitt der Öffnung eines Behälters 1 angepasstes Verschlusselement 4 auf, das nach der Befüllung des Behälters 1 mit einem fließfähigen Medium, beispielsweise einem Reinigungs- oder Desinfektionsmittelkonzentrat in die Behälteröffnung eingesetzt und dauerhaft fixiert, z.B. verklebt oder verschweißt, wird. Das Verschlusselement 4 ist mit einem in das Innere des Behälters 1 ragenden Rohrabschnitt 5 versehen, der über einen konvergierenden Führungsteil 3 in einen Rohrabschnitt 6 übergeht, der einen kleineren Durchmesser als der Rohrabschnitt 5 aufweist.A discharge valve 2 has a cross-section of the opening of a container 1 adapted closure element 4, which after filling the container 1 with a flowable medium, such as a cleaning or disinfectant concentrate inserted into the container opening and permanently fixed, e.g. glued or welded, is. The closure element 4 is projecting with a into the interior of the container 1 Pipe section 5 provided, which via a convergent guide part 3 in a Pipe section 6 passes, which has a smaller diameter than the pipe section. 5 having.

Der Rohrabschnitt 5 weist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel drei übereinander angeordnete Austrittsöffnungen 7, 8. 9 auf. Ein kolbenartiger Ventilteil 10 erstreckt sich in der Schließstellung nach Fig. 1 oder 5 in einer äußersten Position, in der eine Strömungsverbindung zwischen dem Inneren des Behälters 1 durch die Austrittsöffnungen 7, 8, 9 nach außen unterbrochen ist. Zwischen dem Ventilteil 10 und dem konvergierenden Führungsteil 3 ist eine Druckfeder 16 vorgesehen, die den Ventilteil 10 in die Schließstellung beaufschlagt.The pipe section 5 has in the embodiment shown three superimposed Outlet openings 7, 8. 9 on. A piston-like valve member 10 extends in the closed position according to Fig. 1 or 5 in an outermost position in which a flow connection between the interior of the container 1 through the outlet openings 7, 8, 9 to the outside is interrupted. Between the valve member 10 and the converging guide member 3 is a compression spring 16 is provided, which urges the valve member 10 in the closed position.

Der kolbenartige Ventilteil 10 weist ein sich nach innen erstreckendes Lufteinlassrohr 11 auf, das mittig im Rohrabschnitt 6 mit Abstand dazu geführt ist. In der gezeigten Ausführung für kopfstehende Behälter ist auf das innere Ende des Lufteinlassrohres 11 eine topfartige Abdeckung 12 aufgesetzt, die einen unteren Zentrierring 13 aufweist. Am unteren Ende des Lufteinfassrohres 11 kann eine ringförmige Dichtkante 20 ausgebildet sein, wie Fig. 5 zeigt. The piston-like valve member 10 has an inwardly extending air inlet tube 11, which is guided centrally in the pipe section 6 at a distance therefrom. In the illustrated version for upside-down container is a cup-like on the inner end of the air inlet tube 11 Cover 12 fitted, which has a lower centering ring 13. At the bottom of the Lufteinfassrohres 11 may be formed an annular sealing edge 20, as Fig. 5 shows.

Die Abdeckung 12 umfasst ein bestimmtes Luftvolumen und verhindert, dass das fließfähige Medium in das Lufteinlassrohr 11 eindringen kann. Für den Luftdurchtritt aus dem Einlassrohr 11 in die Abdeckung 12 sind im oberen Endbereich Löcher 15 vorgesehen. In der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 bis 4 ist im Inneren des Einlassrohres 11 über nicht gezeigte Stege ein weiteres Rohr 14 gehalten, das an der Seite des Ventilteils 10 geringfügig aus dem Einlassrohr 11 vorsteht und mit geringem Abstand zur Abdeckung 12 endet: Das weitere Rohr 14 bewirkt eine Aufteilung der einströmenden Luft auf zwei Kanäle, sodass auch dann, wenn fließfähiges Medium in das Lufteinlassrohr 11 eindringt, eine Belüftung über das weitere Rohr 14 erfolgen kann.The cover 12 includes a certain volume of air and prevents the flowable medium can penetrate into the air inlet tube 11. For the passage of air out of the Inlet pipe 11 in the cover 12 holes 15 are provided in the upper end region. In the embodiment of Fig. 1 to 4 is in the interior of the inlet pipe 11 via not shown Webs another tube 14 held on the side of the valve member 10 slightly out of the Inlet tube 11 protrudes and ends at a small distance to the cover 12: The other Pipe 14 causes a division of the incoming air into two channels, so that even then, when flowable medium enters the air inlet tube 11, ventilation over the another tube 14 can take place.

In der Ausführung nach Fig. 5 und 6 fehlt dieses weitere Rohr, da das Eindringen von fließfähigem Medium durch den Ringspalt zwischen dem Rohrabschnitt 6 des Verschlusselementes 4 und dem Lufteinlassrohr 11 durch einen etwa mittig angeordneten Dichtungsring 21 unterbunden wird.In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6, this further tube is missing, since the penetration of flowable medium through the annular gap between the pipe section 6 of the Closing element 4 and the air inlet tube 11 by an approximately centrally disposed Sealing ring 21 is prevented.

In der Schließstellung nach Fig. 1 oder 5 sitzt die Abdeckung 12 dichtend auf dem Ende des Rohrabschnitts 6 und der Zentrierring 13 dichtend auf dem Führungsteil 3 auf. Um das Ventil zu öffnen und eine erste Menge des fließfähigen Mediums aus dem Behälter 1 nach unten ausströmen zu lassen, wird der Ventilteil 10 so weit angehoben, dass die unterste Austrittsöffnung 7 freigegeben wird. Mit dem Anheben des Ventilteils 10 hebt auch die Abdeckung 12 von ihren abgedichteten Sitzen am Ende des Rohrabschnitts 6 und dem Führungsteil 3 ab, sodass Luft durch die Löcher 15 in die Abdeckung 12 und durch deren unteren Zentrierring 13 in das Innere des Behälters 1 strömen kann.In the closed position of FIG. 1 or 5, the cover 12 is sealingly seated on the end of the Pipe section 6 and the centering ring 13 sealingly on the guide member 3. To the valve to open and a first amount of the flowable medium from the container 1 down To let flow, the valve member 10 is raised so far that the lowest Outlet opening 7 is released. With the lifting of the valve member 10 also raises Cover 12 of their sealed seats at the end of the pipe section 6 and the Guide member 3 from, so that air through the holes 15 in the cover 12 and through the lower centering ring 13 can flow into the interior of the container 1.

Soll eine größere Menge des fließfähigen Mediums in der gleichen Zeiteinheit aus dem Behälter entnommen werden, so wird der Ventilteil 10 um eine größere Höhe angehoben (siehe Fig. 3), sodass die nächsthöhere Austrittsöffnung 8 zusätzlich freigegeben wird. Der Gesamtaustrittsquerschnitt wird dadurch entsprechend größer. Fig. 4 und 6 zeigt eine dritte Offenstellung, in der der Ventilteil 10 noch höher angehoben ist, sodass auch alle obersten Austrittsöffnungen 9 freiliegen. Das fließfähige Medium kann somit durch alle drei Öffnungen 7, 8, 9 in einer entsprechend großen Menge pro Zeiteinheit durch den Rohrabschnitt 5 nach unten ausfließen, wobei am unteren Ende des Rohrabschnitts 5 in der Ausführung nach Fig. 5 und 6 eine ringförmige Abtropfhaube 19 ausgebildet ist. Dem die Feder 16 aufnehmenden Raum 18 kann, wie Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen, eine Entlüftungsöffnung 17 zugeordnet sein, um die beim Anheben des Ventilteils 10 zu verdrängende Luft ausströmen zu lassen.If a larger amount of the flowable medium in the same time unit from the Be removed container, the valve member 10 is raised by a greater height (See Fig. 3), so that the next higher outlet opening 8 is additionally released. Of the Total outlet cross section is thereby correspondingly larger. Fig. 4 and 6 shows a third Open position in which the valve member 10 is raised even higher, so that all the top Exiting outlets 9. The flowable medium can thus through all three openings 7, 8, 9 in a correspondingly large amount per unit time through the pipe section 5 after flow out at the bottom, wherein at the lower end of the pipe section 5 in the embodiment of FIG. 5 and 6, an annular Abtropfhaube 19 is formed. Which receive the spring 16 Room 18, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, may be associated with a vent opening 17, around which to be displaced when lifting the valve member 10 to be displaced air.
