Definitions

  • the invention relates to a discharge device for a liquid medium according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Generic discharge devices are known from the prior art. They are used for pharmaceutical liquids, for example for eye and nose drops. In the case of generic discharge devices, the discharge process reduces the amount of medium in the medium reservoir so that air must flow in order to prevent the medium reservoir from being permanently under negative pressure.
  • a closure device which, for ventilation purposes, comprises a liquid-impermeable but gas-permeable membrane.
  • the cited document proposes in particular to provide membranes on both sides of a substrate. Furthermore, it is proposed to design the membranes oleophobic.
  • a dispenser is known with a filtration system.
  • This filter system has a plurality of membranes, which may be formed liquid-tight or for filtering pollutants. These membranes are directly adjacent to one another in a layer composite.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a generic discharge device to the effect that the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned avoided or reduced.
  • a discharge device for a liquid medium according to claim 1.
  • the two spaced from each other by a free space filter this discharge device are arranged such that the air flowing through the pressure equalization channel during pressure equalization must penetrate both filters.
  • the liquid path, along which the medium passes from the medium reservoir to the discharge opening during the discharge process, is formed separately from the pressure equalization channel, so that the exiting medium does not have to pass through the liquid filter and the bacteria filter in order to reach the discharge opening.
  • the two filters are arranged one behind the other within the pressure equalization channel, so that when the pressure is equalized, the inflowing air first passes through the bacteria filter and then through the liquid filter. In the opposite way, however, the liquid can not reach the bacteria filter, since it is already stopped by the liquid filter.
  • the liquid filter and the bacterial filter are spaced apart by a free space, preferably by at least 0.5 mm, in particular by at least 1 mm. This spacing prevents media passing through the liquid filter from coming into direct contact with the bacterial filter. Instead, a limited amount of the medium can reach the intermediate region between the liquid filter and the bacterial filter without adverse effect on the bacterial filter, from where this quantity of liquid is forced back into the reservoir during pressure compensation.
  • the discharge opening is associated with an outlet valve which opens from an opening overpressure, wherein the liquid filter is designed such that at least up to this opening overpressure medium can not pass through the liquid filter on the liquid filter. Since the opening overpressure of the outlet valve simultaneously also forms the maximum pressure which can occur in the medium reservoir, this ensures that no medium reaches the bacteria filter.
  • the liquid filter is preferably designed in such a way that medium applied to the liquid filter can not pass through the liquid filter up to an overpressure of at least 0.5 bar, preferably up to an overpressure of at least 1.0 bar. Since the maximum overpressure usually given during a discharge process in the medium reservoir is less than 0.5 bar in most discharge devices, but at least less than 1.0 bar, such a design of the liquid filter means that no medium can reach the bacteria filter, even if that Medium during the discharge process is applied directly to the liquid filter and is pressurized.
  • the liquid filter does not provide a complete barrier to the liquid, it reduces the pressure at which the liquid is forced against the bacterial filter after passing through the liquid filter, so that penetration of the liquid into the pores of the bacteria filter is not to be feared.
  • Particularly advantageous is the use of the described filter arrangement in discharge devices that are changed as intended with respect to their position, for example, so that the mouth of the pressure compensation channel is below the liquid level of the medium during use.
  • the filters can be designed as filters made of a porous material, for example a sintered material. Tissue membranes and other filter materials can also be used.
  • the liquid filter and the bacterial filter each have filter pores, wherein the average pore size of the filter pores of the liquid filter is greater than the mean pore size of the filter pores of the bacterial filter. Since the pore size significantly affects the surface tension of a liquid applied to the filter and entering the pores and therefore the required differential pressure between the two sides of the filter to dissolve the liquid must be greater, the smaller the filter pores, it is advantageous to the liquid filter provide larger pores. If, after an intermediate overhead position of the discharge device, a liquid layer remains on the liquid filter, it can already be detached from the filter due to the comparatively large pores by a rather small differential pressure between the outside environment and the medium reservoir.
  • an average pore diameter at the liquid filter of at least 6 microns. It is particularly advantageous if the liquid filter has an average pore diameter of greater than 10 ⁇ m, in particular greater than 15 ⁇ m. This comparatively large pore size leads to an advantageously low surface tension on the liquid filter, so that a liquid film on the side facing away from the bacterial filter of the liquid filter is reliably removed during pressure equalization, so that subsequently air bubbles can occur for the purpose of pressure equalization.
  • an average pore diameter of at most 5 ⁇ m, preferably at most 1 ⁇ m, in particular at most 0.2 ⁇ m, has proven to be advantageous. Depending on the specific application, any combination of the specified limits may be appropriate.
  • the liquid filter and the bacterial filter are part of a filter assembly, which are inserted into the pressure equalization channel.
  • the filter unit can thus be handled as a whole during assembly and already set the desired distance between the liquid filter and the bacteria filter.
  • the filter assembly may also be inserted into the pressure equalization channel such that it itself forms an extension of the pressure equalization channel. For this purpose, it is preferably tubular.
  • the pressure equalization channel is at least partially formed as a capillary channel.
  • a capillary channel By such a capillary channel the escape of medium evaporated in the medium reservoir is hindered.
  • a capillary channel a channel of at least 10 mm in length is considered, whose average cross-sectional area is less than 1 mm 2 , preferably less than 0.5 mm 2 .
  • the provision of a capillary channel means that the pressure equalization channel does not have to be sealed by a comparatively complicated valve in relation to the medium reservoir. This is particularly advantageous because such a valve is difficult to design in terms of a functioning pressure equalization.
  • FIG. 1 illustrated is a discharge device 10, which has a bottle-like medium reservoir 20 and a dosed thereon 30 dosing.
  • an outlet opening 32 is provided which is closed by a valve 34 until the pressure in the medium has reached a predetermined height in a valve chamber 36 connected to the medium reservoir. Once this is the case, the valve 34 is pressed by the liquid pressure against a spring force and the discharge process begins. In the illustrated discharge device 10 it is provided that it is held during the discharge process such that the outlet opening 32 points downward.
  • the pressurization of the medium in the medium reservoir 20 takes place in the discharge device shown by the fact that the medium reservoir 20 is compressed manually.
  • the medium reservoir 20 is via an in Fig. 1 not shown channel connected to the valve chamber 36, so that the compression of the medium reservoir 20 causes a pressure increase in both the medium reservoir 20 and in the valve chamber 36.
  • Alternative embodiments may, however, also provide a different type of pressure generating means, for example a piston pump, which is arranged between the medium reservoir and the outlet opening 32.
  • a pressure equalization channel 40 is provided, through which air can flow from an environment into the medium reservoir along the arrows 42a, 42b, 42c.
  • the pressure equalization channel 40 only serves for the admission of air. Liquid medium, which is conducted from the medium reservoir 20 to the valve chamber 36 and discharged through the discharge opening 32, is not passed through the pressure equalization channel 40 and the filters 50, 52 described below.
  • a filter assembly 44 is inserted, which is held by a press fit in the position shown.
  • This filter assembly has a cylindrical pipe section 44a, in which two filters 50, 52 are arranged in cascade one behind the other. The incoming air must pass through both filters 50, 52 to enter the medium reservoir 20.
  • the upper filter 50 is overmolded by the plastic material of the tubular section 44a, while the lower filter is fastened on the end face, for example by means of an adhesive bond.
  • Upper filter 50 is a bacterial filter, that is, a filter that at least partially filters contaminating components out of the air. Ideally, it is made of a porous material, which has a pore size of 0.5 to 1.5 microns. Depending on the requirements for the decontaminating effect, other pore sizes may be provided.
  • the amount of air required for pressure equalization can pass unimpeded through the pressure equalization channel 40 into the medium reservoir 20. If liquid has previously passed between the filters 50, 52, this is in part pressed back into the medium reservoir 20.
  • the embodiment of the Fig. 2a and 2 B is largely identical to the embodiment of the Fig. 1 built up. However, since some aspects of this second embodiment are realized slightly differently and / or are more apparent, these aspects will be explained again in this second embodiment. Unless otherwise stated, the embodiments of the Fig. 1 and 2a / 2 B functionally identical.
  • Fig. 2a and 2 B show this second embodiment, each with different cutting planes.
  • the cutting plane of the Fig. 2a serves to illustrate the media path 43, along which the medium emerges when force applied to the medium reservoir 20 in the overhead position.
  • the medium enters the adjacent to the medium reservoir 20 outlet channel 21 and passes from there through a radial bore 22 and a narrow gap 23 in the valve chamber 36, from which it is discharged through the discharge opening 32 therethrough.
  • the arrows 43a to 43d illustrate this media path.
  • the subsequent pressure compensation is based on the representation of Fig. 2b clarified.
  • the pressure-equalizing passage 40 of this second embodiment is slightly different from the embodiment of FIG Fig. 1 ,
  • the pressure equalization channel has according to the design of Fig. 1 an axial passage portion 40a connected to a counter valve chamber 40c through a bore 40b.
  • This valve counter chamber 40c is connected to the environment via a radial bore 40d, an annular channel 40e acting as a capillary channel and an inlet bore 40f.
  • the negative pressure occurring in the medium reservoir 20 after a discharge process causes air to flow downstream along this pressure equalization channel and along the arrows 42a-42d into the medium reservoir. In this case, the air traverses in the embodiment of the Fig. 1 described manner the filters 50, 52nd
  • the pressure equalization channel 40, 40a-40f is always open for the air flow. However, it is effectively prevented by the capillary channel portion 40e that relevant amounts of the medium, which have evaporated within the medium reservoir 20, can escape from the discharge device 10.
