SUCTION PUMP FOR A DISTRIBUTION UNIT AND DISTRIBUTION UNIT Technical area

The invention relates to a suction pump, which is in particular designed as a bellows pump and is provided for a donor unit for pasty, foamy or liquid output of a medium, in particular a liquid soap, a skin protection cream or other liquid cleaning or care product for the skin. The suction pump has fastening means for its sealing attachment to a storage container for the liquid medium and a pumping force in a pumping compressible elastic, an elastic wall having a pumping chamber on the one hand with the interposition of an outlet valve fluidly with an output means for dispensing a defined amount the medium is directly or indirectly connected and on the other hand with the interposition of an inlet valve with the reservoir fluidly directly or indirectly connected.

The invention further relates to a dispensing unit for dispensing a medium, in liquid, pasty or foamed form, wherein the medium is provided in particular liquid or pasty in the reservoir. These dispenser units have a dispenser housing into which a filling insert can be inserted. The filling insert preferably consists of a reservoir produced in the blow molding process and the suction pump attached thereto. Such filling inserts are usually inserted into the dispenser housing after opening a housing cover in such a way that the suction pump is gripped with its head region by the insertion movement of a threading device, often in the form of a so-called "catcher clip", and thus coupled with the actuation device may be a mechanical push button, for example, a so-called "push button", which is connected via a lever with the threading device. Alternatively, a non-contact operation may be provided, in which the user a Sensor triggers, in turn, causes an electric actuator to actuate the suction pump.

State of the art

Dispenser units of this type are known from EP 1711094 A.

Suction pumps in the above-mentioned type are also commonly known by the term bellows pump. The bellows pumps have a rubber chamber limited by the pumping chamber, which is usually compressed manually by squeezing, whereby the medium located in the pumping chamber is pushed out by this. Such bellows pumps have the advantage that they are particularly easy and inexpensive to produce.

The disadvantage of the known bellows pumps, however, is that they are only moderately suitable for use in dispensing devices, since the only easily implementable by the human hand crimping movement mechanically complicated and additional guide elements can be implemented, for example, a lateral emigration of the discharge opening avoid. Also, the use of bellows pumps is problematic when defined a precise amount of a medium must be delivered, since usually the pumping chamber to avoid damage to the elastic wall can not be completely compressed and so the volume of the output of the deformation geometry of the elastic wall dependent can.

Another disadvantage of the bellows pumps is that in connection with donor units, the onset of the filling inserts, which are formed from a reservoir and the associated suction pump, is difficult to carry out. When a filling insert is inserted into the unfolded dispenser housing, the threading device presses against a functional element of the pump to make the connection between the actuator or the actuator and the pumping means, for example, via the "catcher clamp." This insertion movement must reliably couple the mechanical coupling of the pump with the actuating device or the actuator even if it is not carried out very carefully, otherwise the donor would have no function.

When using bellows pumps, there is now the problem that can escape the access of the "catcher bracket" due to the elastic wall of the lower part of the pump.Thus, it can happen that the pump "cross" sets us by pressing the donor while the elastic wall is compressed, but the medium is discharged transversely to actually intended output direction in the dispenser housing. Even a partially successful threading is of course possible. It is obvious that in both cases a malfunction of the donor is the result.

Presentation of the invention

The object of the invention is therefore with respect to the suction pump to provide a suction pump with an elastic wall, which can be used in a dispensing device, in particular a dispenser unit with the greatest possible freedom from errors at the same time simple and inexpensive construction. With regard to the dispenser unit, it is an object of the invention to provide a dispenser unit in which a suction pump with an elastic pumping chamber can be used as error-free as possible.

The object with respect to the suction pump is achieved according to the invention in that guide means are provided which are arranged such that they are able to suppress migration of the elastic wall of the pump body transversely to the pumping direction during the compression of the pump body.

The object with respect to the dispenser is achieved according to the invention in that the housing has a threading device which is designed and arranged such that by the insertion of the filling insert in the final position of cooperating with the actuator head portion of the suction pump by the threading device is automatically taken during insertion, wherein a bending of the elastic pumping chamber is prevented by the guide means. By the suction pump according to the invention, the advantage of a conventional piston / cylinder pump can now be combined with a bellows pump. By providing the guide means, the compression movement is restricted to a preferred direction of the pumping movement. In a conventional dispenser this is, for example, the vertical direction, the reservoir is then hung with the suction pump down into the dispenser housing and the guide means are formed such that, despite the elastic wall, migration in one of the horizontal directions is prevented. The pump body can thus be compressed only in the vertical direction, so that even the frictional force when attaching the threading device to a head region of the suction pump can not lead to the head region being displaced in the transverse direction.

In a particularly simple embodiment of the suction pump, the pumping chamber is formed by the elastic wall and a head and a foot area. The foot area is upside down with upside down plenum and has the inlet valve on. This inlet valve is designed so that it is capable of sucking medium from the storage container into the pumping chamber during decompression of the pumping chamber and closing it during compression of the pumping chamber. In the head area, in turn, the outlet valve is arranged, that releases the medium during compression of the pumping chamber and closes upon decompression of the pumping chamber. In particular in the head region, but possibly also in the foot region, further functional elements, in particular for foaming the medium or for preventing dripping, can be provided.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the act

Guide means at least on the movable head portion and the foot portion is fixed relative to the dispenser housing. Here, the guide means ensure that, relative to the specified foot area, the head area can only be moved in the pump preferred direction.

To ensure a first protection against malfunction, it may also be sufficient to provide guide means, the only in one To raise the direction of an executive. In the case of the dispenser unit described above, for example, protection against emigration may already suffice in response to the insertion movement, so that here the guide "only" generates an abutment which opposes the insertion movement To increase the functional safety, however, a further, preferably complete, guidance of the head area over the entire movement range is preferred Head area in all directions transverse to the pump preferred direction.

The head region of the suction pump may be provided with a flange which protrudes outward in the manner of a flange and which is gripped by the threading device, in particular the catcher clip, when inserted into the dispenser housing Depending on the design of the wall, the head area may itself be dish-shaped or have a dish-shaped section, which is connected, for example, via a spacer to the part of the head area adjoining the elastic wall.

The guide means can be both internal and external

Be formed guide. In the case of the outer guide means, the suction pump on a pump body, on which the pumping chamber is arranged. In the simplest case, the pump body can be formed by the foot region, from which the guide means, for example in the form of guide rods, extend in the direction of the head region, where, for example, they can pass through bearing eyes arranged in the head region to form the guide.

Alternatively, of course, the guide means may also be formed by a wall of the pump body, which is accordion-like after the Art a telescopic pole can be pushed together. Finally, it is possible for the head region to have a piston-like outwardly projecting edge, which is guided in the preferred pump direction in the pump body which is then executed in the manner of a cylinder, whereby another part of the head region adjoins the actuating device for the piston-like region facing away from the pumping chamber , which protrudes from the cylindrical area in all positions of the head area. This can be, for example, a dispensing tube with a plate-like edge protruding laterally in the lower region, to which the threading device can be attached.

Alternatively, the head region may also have a cylindrical, in the direction of the foot region upwardly projecting wall portion which is connected to a plate-like region, which in turn is connected to the elastic wall of the pumping chamber. The cylindrical wall region of the head region, in turn, can then be guided either on the pump body or also on the foot region.

To secure the suction pump during transport of the

Foot area in this embodiment be designed so that it can be moved to a transport position. Here, the height of the cylindrical ring at least equal to the height of the pumping chamber, so that the foot portion can be moved to the upper edge of the ring, so that the entire pumping chamber is disposed within the cylindrical ring.

An alternative embodiment of a suction pump with transport lock has a foot area which extends like a bell in the direction of the head region, wherein the elastic wall of the pumping chamber is connected to the lower region of the bell-shaped side region of the foot part. To form the transport safety device, the entire elastic part of the wall of the pumping chamber can then be turned inside together with the head region, so that the head and foot regions abut each other substantially and the pump is put out of action.

Here, the threading can be configured so that by Einsetzbewegung not only an edge of the head part is taken and this is coupled with the actuator, but that at the same time by inserting the transport lock is disabled and the Einfädelhilfe the first time pushing back of such a large path of the head area causes the elastic wall portion of the Pump chamber is pushed back to the outside.

Alternatively or in addition to an outer guide, the

Guide means are also arranged inside a pumping chamber. For this purpose, for example, the head area may be connected to the foot area via telescopic rod-like guide rods which are arranged inside the elastic wall. This guide means may for example be arranged centrally within the pumping chamber, so that the telescopic rod is designed as a hollow rod or tube and has a lateral inlet for the medium to be pumped. Upon compression of the pumping chamber, the medium is then driven first through this lateral entry of the telescopic rod and then through the hollow telescopic rod itself to the outside. The valve of the head area can still remain in the actual head area or be arranged in the region of the lateral opening of the telescopic rod. Alternatively or additionally, further guide rods can be provided in the outer region of the pumping chamber.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention used for

Forming the guide means the pushrods of the inlet valve and / or the exhaust valve. For this purpose, the respective valve is provided with a push rod, which has the valve means, so for example the sealing membrane. The push rod is extended beyond the region of the valve means and has, in this extended region, a guide section which is guided by guide means which are arranged on the pump body or, depending on which valve has the leading push rod, on the head region or the foot region , For this purpose, the respective part of the guide preferably bearing eyes, in which the guide portion in Pump preferred direction is movably mounted.

A further preferred embodiment uses a common push rod for both valves. This common push rod is preferably formed as a central, the pumping chamber passing through push rod, wherein on the side of one of the valves, the switching element is fixedly connected to the push rod and on the side of the other valve, the switching element is movably mounted on the push rod. Here, for example, on the exhaust valve side, the switching element of the valve can be firmly connected to the push rod, while the switching element is movably guided on the side of the inlet valve on the push rod, so that both valves can switch pressure controlled independently. The push rod will then extend upon compression of the bellows valve in the reservoir or in an intermediate region arranged between the suction pump and the reservoir.

The aforementioned embodiment can be prepared, for example, characterized in that the switching element of the inlet valve has a sleeve-like part through which the push rod is guided longitudinally movable. The mobility of the switching element may be limited relative to the push rod in both directions by stops, which then at the same time the compression movement of the bellows pump is set at the same time. This can for example avoid damage to the elastic wall material due to excessive deformation. In this embodiment, the storage of the push rod is preferably realized by the valve seat of one or both valves, ie the inlet valve and the dispensing valve. Alternatively or additionally, the push rod can also be movably mounted inside or outside the pumping chamber in pump preferred direction to form an (additional) guide.

The exhaust valve may be provided in all embodiments with a plunger which extends in the direction away from the pumping chamber direction and in the lower region has a plate portion, with the actuator of the dispenser can be coupled. It does not necessarily have to be a plate area, the coupling can also be made via any other mechanical device.

As actuating device come in connection with the present invention, all forms of valve actuation devices into consideration, in particular a mechanical pushbutton or an electric actuator that can be triggered by a sensor. The push rod of the outlet valve, which extends away from the pumping chamber, is preferably designed as a hollow cylinder, so that the medium can be supplied to the output through this push rod. So here the push rod forms the output channel for the medium. To form an additional drip protection can be provided in the output channel, regardless of whether it is formed by the push rod or is designed as a separate channel, an additional seal or an additional valve means, in which case about a diaphragm seal comes into consideration.

The dispenser unit according to the invention comprises a housing into which the filling insert can be inserted. This filling insert comprises, as already described above, the storage container and the suction pump arranged therein. The suction pump in turn is designed as a bellows pump and has a head portion which is displaceable in the direction of a foot region for transmitting an actuating force, regardless of whether it is applied via an electric actuator or a "push button", the suction pump having guide means Usually, the filling insert will be inserted downward with the suction pump down in the housing, so that the pump preferential direction is the vertical direction downwards, that is, output medium directly from the discharge point, for example, to the hand of the user can drip.

Preferably, the dispenser unit has a threading device, which in

This clip is a U-shaped clip with rounded or bent legs which, upon insertion of the filling insert, forms an edge of the movable part of the suction pump, in particular an edge of the suction pump Engage behind the head area, wherein the threading device is in turn functionally coupled to the mechanism of the housing such that a movement of the actuating device causes a movement of the coupled to the threading device edge of the suction pump. As a result, in the present case, the elastic pumping chamber is compressed and the medium expelled from this pumping chamber in the pump preferred direction.

If the suction pump has the transportation lock described above, the dispenser unit can have an additional threading aid, which cooperates with a further threading element on the movable part of the suction pump. This additional threading aid can bring about the first way of deactivating the transport lock, for example the outward swirling of the elastic wall of the pumping chamber, in which the additional threading element slides along the guide surface of the further threading aid through the insertion movement and thereby the corresponding displacement of the head region into the Operating position causes.

Alternatively, the additional Einfädelhilfe be preceded by the first Einfädelhilfe in which, for example, the "catcher clip" has very strong bent in the pump preferential leg.

The suction pump may finally have a drip protection, which is arranged behind the pumping chamber. Such drip protection may be formed by a membrane seal, which may be formed, for example, de heart valve with several, for example, three sails, the sails are folded together in a closed state to a closed circuit and on the occurrence of a, the medium expelling pressure in the discharge direction be pressed apart. For this purpose, the sails are connected to the other sails each facing away from the edges of the wall of the output channel and overlap preferably in the idle state with the respective other edges.

Now, if pressed medium through this seal, the flap-like sails open in the direction of the wall and the medium can flow through. In case of decreasing pressure, however, close due the elastic restoring forces the sails again. By this, the flow direction oppositely directed movement while the medium is then sucked back into the output channel, so that dripping can be avoided.

Of course, other measures to form a drip protection or a similar function can be provided. This can be, for example, siphon-like reversals of the flow direction in the output channel or valves or flaps, for example, by a spring loaded in the closing direction and switchable by the pumping pressure to be.
