Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressure relief valve for a packaging container with significantly improved sealing properties.
- Pressure relief valves for packaging containers are known from the prior art in various configurations.
- the use of valves, in particular flexible packaging for food, is already realized by a variety of technical variants.
- a main requirement of such valves is that they allow only small overpressures in the packaging by opening them and otherwise the ingress of
- valves that have high vacuum resistance also have a very high opening pressure.
- valves with only a small opening pressure do not have the necessary vacuum resistance.
- the pressure relief valve according to the invention for a packaging container with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that it consists of a minimum number of parts and is simple and inexpensive. Furthermore, the pressure relief valve according to the invention on the one hand has a very high vacuum resistance (tightness) and on the other hand makes it possible to open even at small pressure differences between a pressure inside the packaging container and an outside to release this pressure to the outside. This is inventively achieved in that the
- Relief valve has a base body with an inwardly tapered sealing surface and a membrane which rests on the sealing surface to seal a central passage opening.
- the passage opening has, on its side facing the membrane, an annular bead protruding from a depression in the base body.
- a fluid is provided between the diaphragm and the tapered sealing surface, wherein the inwardly tapering shape of the sealing surface ensures that a thickness of the fluid layer between the sealing surface and the diaphragm on an inner side is slightly larger than on an outer side.
- larger capillary holding forces are provided on the outer side, which ensure a tighter fit of the membrane on the sealing surface.
- the central passage opening in the base body is tapered.
- the central passage opening tapers in the direction of the interior.
- the central passage opening is conical.
- a level of the annular bead with respect to the inside of the packaging container is below a level of an inner edge of the sealing surface of the base body.
- level is understood as meaning a plane perpendicular to a central axis of the base body, the level being defined starting from a side of the pressure relief valve directed towards the inside of the packaging container.
- the membrane in addition to the flexible properties still directed to the sealing surface, deformable surface.
- the membrane in addition to the flexible properties still directed to the sealing surface, deformable surface.
- Pressure relief valve further comprises an annular circumferential holding device, which is formed integrally with the main body. This holding device prevents the membrane from unexpectedly dislodging from the body.
- the central recess in the body is in two stages with a
- an outer contour of the base recess is formed such that it corresponds to an outer contour of a figure eight.
- the outer contour of the base recess describes a shape of two intersecting circles, wherein the circles have the same radii or different
- the deformable surface of the membrane is made of EPDM or NBR or silicone rubber.
- the entire membrane can be made of one of these materials. These materials ensure the necessary flexibility of the membrane as well as the same or deformable surface, while contributing to the improved sealing properties.
- the passage opening has a bottom area with an introduced therein
- a filter element is arranged at the passage opening. Both the perforation and the filter element have the filtering function to prevent small particles from inadvertently getting into the pressure relief valve.
- the edge region of the main body which serves to fix the pressure relief valve on the inside of the packaging container, is formed such that the edge region comprises an inner ring, an outer ring and a middle ring, wherein the center ring protrudes from a base surface further than the inner ring and the outer ring.
- Ultrasonic sealing process to ensure that any resulting particles during the sealing process do not fall into the inner area of the pressure relief valve or to the outside, but are caught between the center ring and the outer ring or inner ring.
- the pressure relief valve according to the invention is preferably used in food packaging, in particular powdery goods, such. Coffee, used.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of a pressure relief valve according to an embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic sectional view of the base body of the overpressure valve shown in FIG. 1 in an enlarged view
- Figure 3 is a schematic plan view of the base body
- Figure 4 is a schematic sectional view of the main body.
- the overpressure valve 1 comprises a main body 4 and a membrane 6.
- the main body 4 has a sealing surface 14 which tapers conically inwards in the direction of a central axis X-X.
- a fluid 5 is arranged between the sealing surface 14 and the membrane 6 and forms a thin fluid layer. This fluid layer, starting from an outer edge 15 of the sealing surface 14 to an inner edge 16, continuously slightly thicker.
- a filter element is provided in a small recess 8a
- the filter element 8 in particular covers a central passage opening 9 and prevents small particles from flowing into the passage opening 9 and thus into the pressure relief valve 1.
- the pressure relief valve 1 is arranged on an inner side 3 a of the package 3.
- the overpressure valve 1 ensures that no gas or liquid can enter an interior space 2 of the packaging 3 from an outside 11 and also ensures that at an overpressure inside the package 3 this can be discharged via the pressure relief valve 1 to the outside.
- the main body 4 has, in addition to the sealing surface 14, a central recess 30.
- the central recess 30 comprises a base recess 31, which is a
- Base surface of the central recess 30 forms and a step portion 32, which is arranged radially outside of the base recess 31.
- a level of the base pit 31 is deeper than a level of the step area 32.
- level is understood to mean a plane perpendicular to the center axis X-X, with a definition of a lower level
- Levels means that this level is closer to the side 7 of the pressure relief valve 1 which is directed inwards in the package.
- Recess 30 conically outwardly, that is, in the direction of the diaphragm 6, extended.
- a projecting from the base recess 31 annular bead 12 is provided.
- a level of the annular bead 12 is above a level of the step portion 32, but below a level in which the circumferential inner edge 16 is located (see.
- a circumferential outer annular groove 13 is provided radially outside the sealing surface 14. Adjacent to the outer annular groove 13, an edge region 18 is further arranged, by means of which the pressure relief valve 1 on the inside of the 3a
- Packaging 3 is attached. This attachment is preferably carried out by means of an ultrasonic sealing process.
- the edge region 18 has a middle ring 19, an outer ring 20 and an inner ring 21.
- the center ring 19 stands with respect to a base surface 25 further than the outer ring 20 and the inner ring 21.
- the base surface 25 thus forms
- the retaining ring 22 is also formed integrally with the base body 4 and prevents the membrane 6 unintentionally detached from the base body 4.
- the retaining ring 22 has a hold-down function for the membrane 6.
- the membrane 6 is made of a flexible material and has a soft and deformable surface 6a. This soft and deformable surface 6a is the surface of the membrane 6, which is directed in the direction of the sealing surface 14 of the base body 4.
- an outer contour of the base depression 31 is formed in such a way that this outer contour substantially corresponds to an outer contour of an eight. Centric is the central passage opening 9 arranged.
- an improved flow behavior is obtained when the gas is released from the interior 2 of the packaging container 3 to the outside 11.
- the constricting regions 33 of the outer contour allow a directed outflow from the central passage opening 9, so that an opening process of the membrane can be supported. This ensures that the pressure relief valve 1 can open at even lower pressure differences between the interior 2 and the outside 11.
- the function of the pressure relief valve 1 according to the invention is as follows. If a strong vacuum prevails in the interior 2 of the packaging container 3, the pressure relief valve 1 must be a secure seal against the
- the flexible membrane 6 Due to the strong vacuum, the flexible membrane 6 is deformed, so that it applies in a sealing manner on the sealing surface 14 of the base body 4. Furthermore, the deformation can be at a correspondingly low vacuum such that the membrane 6 rests on the annular bead 12. Since the membrane 6 has a soft and deformable surface 6a, there is additionally a deformation at the contact regions, wherein the deformation is still slightly stronger at the outer edge 15 than the inner edge 16 due to the inwardly tapered sealing surface of the sealing surface 14 a thickness of a fluid 5, in particular in the region of the outer edge 15, very low, so that here high capillary forces and Adhesion forces act and ensure a particularly high density.
- the fluid 5 forms a particularly thin film in the region of the outer edge 15.
- Through holes 3b are discharged, in particular to avoid swelling of the packaging container 3. If the diaphragm 6 in this case rests on the annular bead 12 for sealing, the pressure force can thus act only on the limited by the inner edge of the annular bead 12 surface. However, since the central passage opening 9 expands conically outward, the pressure in this area increases slightly, so that a slight lifting of the membrane 6 from the annular bead 12 is achieved.
- FIG. 1 shows an open state of the pressure relief valve 1, wherein the gas can pass from the interior via gaps between the membrane 6 and the edge region 18 into an area 10 between the membrane 6 and the inside 3a of the packaging body and from there via the passage openings 3b to the outside 11th
- a simply constructed pressure relief valve 1 can be provided which consists of only two parts, namely the main body 4 and the membrane 6.
- the inventive arrangement of the central passage opening 9 with the corresponding annular bead 12 can while an improved opening behavior on the one hand and on the other hand, an improved vacuum resistance can be obtained.
