Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un système de distribution d'un produit fluide comprenant un dispositif de prélèvement sous pression dudit produit, un manchon ainsi qu'un bouton poussoir d'actionnement dudit dispositif qui est monté en translation par rapport au manchon sur une course de distribution / aspiration du produit. L'invention concerne également un flacon de distribution comprenant un tel système de distribution.The invention relates to a system for dispensing a fluid product comprising a device for sampling under pressure of said product, a sleeve and a push button for actuating said device which is mounted in translation relative to the sleeve on a dispensing stroke. / aspiration of the product. The invention also relates to a dispensing bottle comprising such a dispensing system.
Dans une application particulière, le système de distribution est destiné à équiper des flacons utilisés en parfumerie, en cosmétique ou pour des traitements pharmaceutiques. En effet, ce type de flacon contient un produit qui est restitué sous pression par une pompe ou une valve à actionnement manuel au moyen d'un bouton poussoir qui est agencé pour permettre la pulvérisation du produit.In a particular application, the dispensing system is intended to equip bottles used in perfumery, in cosmetics or for pharmaceutical treatments. Indeed, this type of bottle contains a product which is returned under pressure by a pump or a manually operated valve by means of a push button which is arranged to allow the product to be sprayed.
De tels boutons poussoirs peuvent comprendre un corps sur lequel un embout est disposé autour d'un insert de sorte à former une chambre de distribution entre ledit embout et ledit insert. En particulier, la chambre de distribution est en communication amont avec un conduit d'alimentation monté sur un tube d'amenée du produit sous pression, ladite chambre comprenant une partie aval pourvue d'au moins un canal de distribution du produit dans une zone de pulvérisation qui est prévue en regard de l'extrémité avant de l'insert.Such push buttons may include a body on which a tip is disposed around an insert so as to form a dispensing chamber between said tip and said insert. In particular, the distribution chamber is in upstream communication with a supply duct mounted on a pipe for supplying the pressurized product, said chamber comprising a downstream part provided with at least one distribution channel of the product in a zone of spray which is provided opposite the front end of the insert.
Selon une réalisation, la chambre de distribution comprend une chambre tourbillonnaire dans laquelle est formée la zone de pulvérisation. En particulier, la chambre tourbillonnaire est agencée pour former un aérosol avec le produit en le faisant tourner très rapidement afin de lui donner de la vitesse. Ainsi, en prévoyant que la chambre tourbillonnaire soit prolongée en son centre par un orifice de distribution, le produit peut s'échapper à forte vitesse en se fractionnant en fines gouttelettes formant l'aérosol.In one embodiment, the dispensing chamber comprises a vortex chamber in which the spray zone is formed. In particular, the vortex chamber is arranged to form an aerosol with the product by rotating it very rapidly to give it speed. Thus, by providing that the swirl chamber is extended at its center by a dispensing orifice, the product can escape at high speed by splitting into fine droplets forming the aerosol.
Selon une autre réalisation, les canaux de distribution de la chambre sont convergents chacun vers un orifice de sortie, lesdits canaux convergents étant agencés pour permettre l'impaction dans la zone de pulvérisation des jets de liquide distribués par lesdits orifices. Ainsi, lors de l'impaction des jets distribués à grande vitesse, il se forme un aérosol sans avoir recours à une chambre tourbillonnaire.In another embodiment, the distribution channels of the chamber are each convergent towards an outlet orifice, said convergent channels being arranged to allow the impaction in the spray zone of the jets of liquid distributed by said orifices. Thus, during impaction jets distributed at high speed, it forms an aerosol without using a swirl chamber.
Toutefois, les réalisations selon l'art antérieur ne permettent pas de garantir la réalisation d'un aérosol de qualité optimale, notamment relativement à la finesse des gouttelettes le composant. En outre, l'énergie cinétique du produit au niveau de la zone de pulvérisation est relativement faible, ce qui limite la vitesse ainsi que la distance de distribution de l'aérosol par rapport au bouton poussoir.However, the embodiments according to the prior art do not make it possible to guarantee the production of an aerosol of optimum quality, especially with regard to the fineness of the droplets comprising it. In addition, the kinetic energy of the product at the level of the spray zone is relatively low, which limits the speed as well as the dispensing distance of the aerosol relative to the push button.
Par ailleurs, en fin de distribution, du produit reste présent au voisinage de la zone de pulvérisation, ledit reste de produit pouvant alors couler entre deux distributions sur l'extérieur du bouton poussoir.Furthermore, at the end of distribution, the product remains present in the vicinity of the spraying zone, said product residue can then flow between two distributions on the outside of the push button.
L'invention vise à perfectionner l'art antérieur en proposant notamment un système permettant la distribution, à plus grande vitesse et à distance plus importante du bouton poussoir, d'un aérosol formé de gouttelettes fines, et ce en évitant qu'un reste de produit puisse couler entre deux distributions sur ledit bouton poussoir de sorte notamment à limiter les risques de contamination dudit produit.The invention aims to improve the prior art by proposing in particular a system for dispensing, at greater speed and at a greater distance from the push button, an aerosol formed by fine droplets, while avoiding that a remainder of product can flow between two distributions on said push button so in particular to limit the risk of contamination of said product.

En relation avec les figures, on décrit ci-dessous un système de distribution d'un produit fluide sous pression, ledit produit pouvant être de toute nature, notamment utilisé en parfumerie, en cosmétique ou pour des traitements pharmaceutiques.In relation to the figures, a system for dispensing a pressurized fluid product is described below, said product being of any kind, especially used in perfumery, in cosmetics or for pharmaceutical treatments.
Le système de distribution comprend un dispositif de prélèvement 1 sous pression du liquide qui est actionné manuellement au moyen d'un bouton poussoir 2. En particulier, le dispositif de prélèvement 1 peut comprendre une pompe comme représentée sur les
En relation avec les
Pour assurer le positionnement et la fixation de la pompe 1 sur le col 4, le système de distribution comprend en outre un manchon 5 qui peut être réalisé de façon monobloc en matériau ductile, notamment en matière plastique de type polyoléfine. En particulier, le bouton poussoir 2 est monté en translation par rapport au manchon 5 sur une course de distribution / aspiration du produit.To ensure the positioning and attachment of the
En partie supérieure, le manchon 5 présente une cheminée 6 dans laquelle sont positionnés des moyens de solidarisation de la pompe 1. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, une armature d'association 7 de la pompe 1 est formée dans la cheminée 6 afin de rendre ladite pompe solidaire du manchon 5.In the upper part, the
En variante non représentée, le manchon 5 peut être intégré au corps de la pompe 1, par exemple en formant extenseur pour ladite pompe. Dans cette réalisation, le manchon 5 peut être dépourvu de moyen de fixation de la pompe 1 sur le col 4, ladite pompe pouvant alors être directement fixée étanche à l'intérieur dudit col.As a variant not shown, the
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, l'armature d'association 7 comprend un orifice 8 dans lequel la pompe 1 est montée avec le tube d'amenée 3 qui s'étend dans la cheminée 6, ladite armature comprenant en outre une gorge d'encliquetage 9 d'un bourrelet 10 formé sur le corps de la pompe 1.In the embodiment shown, the
Le manchon 5 présente égaiement une jupe inférieure 11 qui s'étend axialement d'une pièce sous la cheminée 6, ladite jupe étant pourvue de moyens de fixation dudit manchon sur le col 4 du flacon. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la jupe 11 est pourvue d'un pas de vis interne pour permettre son vissage sur le col 4 fileté du flacon. En variante, la jupe 11 peut être déformable entre une configuration de montage dans laquelle ladite jupe est positionnable autour du col 4 et une configuration de serrage de ladite jupe autour dudit col pour assurer la fixation.The
En relation avec la
Le bouton poussoir 2 comprend également un embout 15 qui est disposé autour d'un insert 16 de sorte à former une chambre de distribution 17 entre ledit embout et ledit insert. En particulier, la chambre de distribution 17 est formée à l'interface entre une paroi intérieure de l'embout 15 et une paroi extérieure de l'insert 16, une empreinte en creux étant formée sur au moins une desdites parois de sorte à être fermée par l'autre paroi en délimitant ladite chambre.The
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le corps du bouton poussoir 2 présente un logement 18 dans lequel l'insert 16 est disposé pour permettre une pulvérisation latérale du produit relativement au corps dudit bouton poussoir. Plus précisément, la jupe 12 est portée par un disque 19 du corps du bouton poussoir 2, ledit disque délimitant inférieurement le logement supérieur 18 dans lequel l'insert 16 est disposé.In the embodiment shown, the body of the
Comme représenté sur les figures, i'insert 16 peut être associé de façon étanche dans le logement 18. En variante, il peut être venu de matière avec le corps du bouton poussoir 2. Par ailleurs, la paroi extérieure de l'embout 15 présente un jonc d'ancrage 15a dans la paroi du logement 18 de sorte à permettre l'association étanche dudit embout dans ledit logement. En variante, notamment dans le cas d'un embout nasal, l'embout 15 peut être formé autour de l'insert 16.As shown in the figures, the
La chambre de distribution 17 est en communication amont avec un conduit d'alimentation 20 qui débouche dans le logement 13 de montage sur le tube d'amenée 3 du produit sous pression. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le conduit d'alimentation 20 comprend une partie amont 20a coaxiale au logement 13 et une partie aval 20b formée autour de l'insert 16.The
La chambre de distribution 17 comprend une partie aval pourvue d'au moins un canal de distribution 21 du produit dans une zone de pulvérisation 22 qui est prévue en regard de l'extrémité avant 23 de l'insert 16. En particulier, dans la zone de pulvérisation 22, un aérosol du produit est formé pour être distribué devant l'extrémité avant 23 de l'insert 16.The
L'insert 16 présente également une chambre interne 24 qui débouche dans un orifice 25 formé dans l'extrémité avant 23 dudit insert en regard de la partie centrale de la zone de pulvérisation 22. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, l'insert 16 présente un alésage dans lequel la chambre interne 24 est formée, ledit alésage débouchant dans l'orifice 25 formé dans l'extrémité avant 23.The
Par ailleurs, la chambre interne 24 est en communication avec une chambre de piston 26 qui est formée entre le corps du bouton poussoir 2 et le manchon 5, ladite chambre de piston présentant un volume variable en fonction de la position du bouton poussoir 2 par rapport au manchon 5 de sorte à injecter de l'air dans - respectivement à aspirer de l'air depuis - la chambre interne 24 et donc la partie centrale de la zone de pulvérisation 22 sur la course de distribution - respectivement d'aspiration - dudit bouton poussoir.Furthermore, the
Ainsi, par injection d'air dans la partie centrale de la zone de pulvérisation 22 au travers de l'orifice 25 qui est en regard de ladite partie, il est possible de former un aérosol formé de gouttelettes fines, ledit aérosol étant en outre plus aérien puisqu'il est soufflé en son centre à distance du corps du bouton poussoir 2. Par ailleurs, l'aspiration conférée permet de renifler dans la chambre interne 24 le reste de produit qui est disposé dans la zone de pulvérisation 22 en fin de distribution.Thus, by injecting air into the central part of the spraying zone 22 through the orifice 25 facing said part, it is possible to form an aerosol formed of fine droplets, said aerosol being moreover aerial since it is blown at its center away from the body of the
En particulier, la chambre interne 24 peut être convergente en direction de l'orifice 25 de sorte à permettre une accélération du flux d'air injecté dans la zone de pulvérisation 22. Sur les figures, l'alésage présente une partie avant tronconique 24a qui débouche dans l'orifice avant 25.In particular, the
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la jupe 12 est montée en coulissement étanche dans la cheminée 6 de sorte à former la chambre de piston 26 entre ladite jupe et ladite chambre. Ainsi, le volume de la chambre de piston 26 diminue - respectivement augmente - sur la course de distribution - respectivement d'aspiration - du bouton poussoir 2. Plus précisément, la chambre de piston 26 est délimitée, de façon étanche, latéralement par la jupe 12 et la cheminée 6 pour présenter une dimension axiale variable, supérieurement par le disque 19 et inférieurement par l'armature d'association 7 dans l'orifice 8 de laquelle la pompe 1 est associée de façon étanche.In the embodiment shown, the
Par ailleurs, la communication entre la chambre interne 24 et la chambre de piston 26 est réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'un orifice 27 prévu dans le disque 19, ledit orifice communicant avec l'ouverture arrière 28 de l'alésage dans lequel la chambre interne 24 est formée. Pour ce faire, le fond du logement 18 est pourvu d'un pan incliné 29 formant un espace de mise en communication entre l'orifice 27 et l'ouverture arrière 28.Furthermore, the communication between the
L'étanchéité de la chambre de piston 26 est réalisée en prévoyant que la partie extrême inférieure de la jupe 12 présente un jonc d'étanchéité 30 qui est monté en coulissement étanche contre la cheminée 6. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la cheminée 6 présente un chanfrein supérieur 31 d'engagement du jonc 30 en coulissement étanche dans la cheminée 6, ledit engagement pouvant induire un serrage radial du jonc 30 contre ladite cheminée de sorte à fiabiliser l'étanchéité conférée. En particulier, le diamètre extérieur du jonc 30 peut être légèrement supérieur au diamètre intérieur de la cheminée 6, ladite cheminée étant alors mise en contrainte élastique sur le jonc 30 lors de son engagement.The sealing of the
Le mode de réalisation représenté prévoit que, lorsque le bouton poussoir 2 est dans son état au repos (
Selon une réalisation non représentée, la chambre de distribution 17 comprend une chambre tourbillonnaire dans laquelle est formée la zone de pulvérisation 22, ladite chambre étant pourvue d'un orifice de distribution qui est coaxial avec l'orifice 25 de la chambre interne 24. Ainsi, outre la rotation du produit, l'aérosol est formé en soufflant sur le produit au travers de l'orifice de distribution.According to an embodiment not shown, the
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, la chambre de distribution 17 comprend des canaux de distribution 21 convergeant chacun vers un orifice de sortie 21 a, lesdits canaux convergents étant agencés pour permettre l'impaction dans la partie centrale de la zone de pulvérisation 22 des jets de produit distribués par lesdits orifices.In the embodiment shown, the
En relation avec la
La chambre de distribution 17 présente, successivement en communication, des canaux amont 36, des canaux aval 37 et les canaux de distribution 21, lesdits canaux amont et aval s'étendent longitudinalement en formant une section respectivement amont et aval de circulation du produit dans la chambre de distribution 17. En particulier, les sections amont et aval correspondent à la somme des sections des canaux respectivement amont 36 et aval 37.The
Selon une réalisation, la section aval peut être de dimension inférieure à la dimension de la section amont. Ainsi, la vitesse du produit augmente depuis l'amont vers l'aval de sorte à pouvoir alimenter les canaux convergents 21 avec un flux de produit dont la vitesse est importante.In one embodiment, the downstream section may be smaller than the size of the upstream section. Thus, the speed of the product increases from upstream to downstream so as to feed the
La tige 35 représentée comprend des rainures 38 qui sont fermées par la paroi intérieure de révolution de l'embout 15 de sorte à former les canaux 36, 37, 21. En particulier, la tige 35 présente une pointe distale 39 de diamètre réduit, sur laquelle la section aval est formée, la paroi intérieure de l'embout 15 présentant une géométrie complémentaire pour permettre l'emmanchement étanche dudit embout autour de la tige 35.The
En outre, l'extrémité aval de chaque rainure 38 présente une géométrie tronconique qui est agencée pour former un canal de distribution 21. Les canaux de distribution 21, par exemple au nombre de trois, sont très petits, par exemple de largeur environ 60 µm et de profondeur 70 µm pour un dispositif de prélèvement d'une dose de 100 µl sous une pression de 5 bars.In addition, the downstream end of each
Plus précisément, l'embout 15 présente un siège 40 dans lequel l'extrémité avant 23 de l'insert 16 est disposée en appui, ledit siège et ladite extrémité présentant chacun une géométrie tronconique de sorte à former les canaux de distribution 21 et les orifices de sortie 21 a entre lesdites géométries.More specifically, the
En outre, pour augmenter encore la vitesse des jets de produit distribués par les orifices de sortie 21 a, on peut prévoir que les canaux de distribution 21 présentent une section décroissante d'amont en aval.In addition, to further increase the speed of product jets distributed through the
Par ailleurs, l'embout 15 représenté comprend une extension avant 41 dans la partie arrière de laquelle le siège 40 est formé. L'extension 41 présente un alésage 42 qui est coaxial à l'alésage 24 et à son orifice 25, au moins une partie de la zone de pulvérisation 22 étant logée dans ledit alésage. En particulier, l'extension 41 s'étend en saillie du logement 18 et du corps du bouton poussoir 2 (
Ainsi, il est possible de protéger mécaniquement la chambre de distribution 17, notamment au niveau des canaux de distribution 21, et ce sans affecter la distribution puisque le produit disposé dans l'alésage 42 est d'une part soufflé lorsqu'il est pulvérisé et d'autre part reniflé en fin de distribution.Thus, it is possible to mechanically protect the
En variante non représentée, l'embout 15 est disposé autour de l'insert 16 en étant attenant au bouton poussoir 2, par exemple dans le cas où la partie amont 20a est alignée avec la partie aval 20b pour un embout nasal de pulvérisation.As a variant not shown, the
