Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering device for at least one medium, with a medium reservoir and with a pump connected to the medium storage device, wherein the medium reservoir or the pumping device held by spring force in the closed position ventilation valve and wherein the venting valve is associated with a control member such that the control member Ventilation valve opens during a pumping movement of the pumping device.
  • a spring-loaded ventilation valve is both a movable elastic deformation properties and resettable vent valve to understand that at least partially consists of an elastomeric material, as well as a depleted by an external spring arrangement spring force.
  • a metering device is used for the metering of liquid, gelatinous, powdered media or combinations thereof.
  • the media can be provided in particular for pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications.
  • the metering device allows the discharge of a predetermined amount of medium, with an exact dosage of the medium may be necessary for pharmaceutical applications.
  • a metering device in which a medium storage is closed by a designed as a thrust piston pump device.
  • the pumping device has a filling channel, which is also suitable as a ventilation channel for the medium storage.
  • a filling channel which is also suitable as a ventilation channel for the medium storage.
  • an annular seal vent valve is provided in order to allow an inflow of ambient air into the medium storage.
  • This seal surrounds the pumping device at least partially elastically and thus closes the ventilation channel between the medium reservoir and the environment.
  • the seal closes the ventilation channel and thus prevents further inflow of ambient air. This process always takes place when there is a pressure difference which can cause an elastic deformation of the seal. This can also be the case independently of an actuation of the metering device.
  • the problem underlying the invention is to improve the operation of the generically provided ventilation valve.
  • a metering device of the type mentioned in which the venting valve is designed as a hose cuff which encloses a rotationally symmetrical pump section coaxial with the pump axis, wherein the hose cuff and the control member are provided with mutually corresponding control surfaces, for an opening operation of the venting valve and wherein the control surfaces are oriented inclined relative to the pumping axis such that during a pumping movement a radial motion component is exerted outwardly of the tubing cuff away from the pumping axis.
  • the vent valve is regularly opened only when an actuation of the pumping device takes place. This can prevent that an uncontrolled Gaus exchange between the trapped in the medium storage volume and the environment takes place.
  • An uncontrolled gas exchange which takes place in a known from the prior art metering device by thermal expansion or shrinkage of the trapped in the medium storage volume and the associated pressure difference, possibly leading to the undesirable outflow of volatile, evaporated medium components.
  • This pressure difference is primarily caused by the discharge of a small amount of medium from the medium reservoir and requires a sensitive response of the ventilation valve, so that the ventilation of the medium reservoir and the dosing of a new dosing is guaranteed.
  • a valve characteristic can be chosen so that the vent valve without the action of the control element or only responds to very large pressure differences, since the control of the vent valve is ensured in a dosing by the control member. This can be prevented that even at low pressure differences, an outflow of volatile medium components from the medium storage takes place, so that a concentration of active ingredients in the medium remains constant over a long period.
  • the venting valve and the control member are provided according to the invention with mutually corresponding control surfaces which can be brought into contact with each other for an opening operation of the venting valve.
  • An opening operation of the ventilation valve is effected by a forced control in which a control surface of the control member interacts with a control surface of the ventilation valve and thus positively and / or non-positively causes a deflection of the ventilation valve from a closed position to an open position.
  • the necessary for an actuation of the venting valve actuating force is initiated by the control member via the control surfaces on the Belüf relief valve, so that a characteristic of the venting valve can be adapted to the initiated by an operator on the control member actuating forces.
  • the opening behavior of the venting valve can be designed for a significantly higher pressure level compared to known venting valves.
  • an undesirable escape of volatile medium components from the medium reservoir at low pressure differences, as may occur in known ventilation valves, can be effectively prevented.
  • the ventilation valve according to the invention is designed as a hose sleeve which encloses a rotationally symmetrical pump section coaxially with the pump axis.
  • a rotationally symmetrical pump section can be produced with high precision by means of a cost-effective production method, such as plastic injection molding.
  • the pump section in particular represents an outer contour of a functional part of the pumping device.
  • a hose sleeve which can be made to ensure the valve function of an elastic material, in particular an elastomer such as silicone, rubber, polyethylene or thermoplastic elastomer is, with regard to one in the hose cuff occurring power flow particularly advantageous.
  • hose cuff substantially only forces in the circumferential direction, which can be derived by the tubular contour particularly advantageous and thus ensure a precise function and a long life of the hose cuff.
  • a valve seat which represents the sealing surface between the hose cuff and the pump section, can be designed as a pump section area in such a construction of the ventilation valve. Due to the flexibility of the hose cuff a tolerance compensation is ensured within wide limits, so that the function of the ventilation valve is ensured even with variations in manufacturing accuracy of hose sleeve and pump section.
  • said control surfaces are aligned in such an inclined manner with respect to the pump axis that during a pumping movement a radial movement component is exerted on the hose cuff away from the pump axis.
  • opening of the ventilation valve can be brought about in a particularly simple manner. Due to the inclination of the control surfaces relative to the pump axis, a wedge effect occurs, which leads to a displacement of the hose cuff to the outside. Thus, the hose cuff is lifted from the cylindrical pump section and gives at least one passageway free, can flow through the ambient air into the medium tank.
  • the wedging effect is particularly advantageous when the control surfaces occupy an acute angle with respect to the pump axis.
  • control member is arranged on a liftable relative to the vent valve actuating part of the pumping device, wherein the vent valve in the unloaded state of the pumping device in a - related to a pump axis - axial distance to the control member is arranged, which is less than an actuating stroke of actuating member.
  • the control member is arranged on the liftable operating part of the pumping means, which is provided for actuation of the pumping means. An introduction of force by a user into the pumping device takes place via the actuating part, so that the force introduced by the user can also be transmitted directly to the control member.
  • An executed by the introduction of force actuating stroke of the pumping device causes in addition to the dosage of the medium and an approximation and the mechanical contact of the control surfaces of the control member and vent valve, so that with the implementation of the actuating stroke and a control of the vent valve is achieved.
  • the distance between the control member and the vent valve in an unloaded rest position of the operating part in an axial direction of the pump device is selected to be lower than the actuating stroke.
  • the vent valve is arranged axially resilient between a valve opening and a valve closing position, and the control member transfers the vent valve axially in the valve opening position.
  • the axial compliance of the ventilation valve can be done by a complete axial displacement of the vent valve or only by an elastic deformation of at least a portion of the vent valve. An axial movement of the control member, in particular by a pumping movement, leads to the desired valve opening operation.
  • the ventilation valve is designed to be axially elastically deformable, and the ventilation valve is attributable to the Ventilö Wegsstettung in the valve closing position by its elastic return properties.
  • the control member exerts an axial deformation or compression during its axial movement on the venting valve or on a section of the venting valve until the venting valve is displaced axially so far that a corresponding venting path is released. With a corresponding return stroke and a removal of the control member resulting therefrom, the vent valve returns to its initial position and thus back to its valve closing position.
  • This provision is made by the elastic material properties of the ventilation valve or a corresponding section of the ventilation valve.
  • control surfaces are formed by mutually facing wedge ring surfaces on the actuating part of the pump device on the one hand and on the hose sleeve on the other.
  • a uniform force transmission from the control member can be ensured on the hose cuff, since the wedge ring surfaces lead to an interaction between the control member and hose sleeve over the respective total circumference.
  • the wedge ring surfaces of the hose cuff and the control member may be the same or deviating from each other in terms of a wedge angle relative to the pump axis, wherein the wedge ring surfaces preferably each face with its narrow side.
  • control member or the venting valve is associated with a timer for the delayed opening or closing of the venting valve.
  • a timing member may be realized by a relatively movable attachment of the control member to the operating member.
  • a power transmission between the actuating part and the control member is provided for example via a damping device. It can thus be effected that the control member only follows a movement of the actuating part for actuating the pump device with a delay, whereby a control of the venting valve takes place later than in a rigid coupling between the actuating part and control member.
  • the time delay element can also be designed so that, in addition or alternatively, a return stroke of the actuating part after execution of the pump stroke is transmitted to the control member only with a delay, so that the vent valve is temporarily still open, although the actuating member has already moved back in the direction of its rest position , Due to the changed opening time and the changed opening duration, in particular a particularly uniform inflow of ambient gas into the medium container can be achieved.
  • This allows, for example, the use of a filter device which is provided as a germ barrier for the medium container. Such a filter device may possibly only allow a limited volume flow for the ambient air, which would not be sufficient without influencing the opening duration of the ventilation valve in order to bring about a complete pressure equalization by subsequent flow of ambient air through the filter device into the medium reservoir.
  • the in the Fig. 1 Dosing device 1 shown has a pumping device 2 and a medium storage, not shown.
  • the medium reservoir which can be made in particular as a container made of plastic or glass, can be attached to an interface 3 of the pump device 2.

  • an eccentrically arranged ventilation hole 20 is introduced in the end face of the pump section 16, which allows a receptacle of a filter device 21 and is provided for a communicating connection between the medium container and an environment of the pump device 1.
  • the filter device 21 consists essentially of a rotationally symmetrical filter sleeve 22 having a through bore, and a filter membrane 23 which is received in the filter sleeve 22 so that it closes the through hole.
  • the filter membrane 23 is made of a gas-permeable and liquid-barrier material and thus enables the retention of germs on a surface facing away from the medium storage and leakage of liquid and / or powdered Mediumbestan constitution from the media storage.
  • the vent hole 20 opens tangentially on an outer surface of the pump section 16 above an annular shoulder 24 in a gap 47 communicating communicates with the environment.

  • the sealing lip 26 has a small contact surface with respect to the pump section, so that even at a low contact force, which is caused by the elastic deformation of the hose sleeve 25, a high surface pressure on the inner surface of the sealing lip 26 is present.
  • a particularly advantageous sealing effect of the hose sleeve 25 for the ventilation hole 20 can be achieved.
  • the pump section 16 has a diameter jump 27 approximately at half the height of the hose cuff 25.
