Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of devices for dispensing, dosing and automatic dilution of liquid product and more particularly maintenance product for professional use.
  • Cleaning products for example detergent products for cleaning floors
  • a known solution to this problem is the use of an automatic dispensing device that delivers a constant dosage of product regardless of the volume of water used.
  • This kind of device uses typically a venturi injector placed in a water circuit and connected to the cleaning product. By means of a calibrated nozzle, said venturi injector makes it possible to dispense and dilute a dose of maintenance product that varies according to the quantity of water passing through the water circuit, so that the final dosage is constant.
  • the present invention therefore aims to solve at least partly the disadvantages of the prior art and to propose a device for dispensing, dosing and automatic dilution of liquid product optimized for simplified and mobile use.
  • the on-off valve is connected to a valve opening means.
  • the valve opening means is a push button.
  • the device comprises a carrying handle.
  • the half-shell opposite the half-shell having on its surface the means for handling the product selector, comprises a hatch allowing access to the containers of said at least two cleaning products.
  • the number of maintenance products is three.
  • the containers of the three cleaning products are arranged side by side within the receptacle.
  • the capacity of the two side containers is one liter and the central container has a capacity of two liters.
  • the product selector is a four-position selector.
  • the receptacle comprises grooves for winding and hooking a pipe connecting the water inlet and the water inlet.
  • the dispensing device, dosage and automatic dilution 1 comprises a pressurized water circuit 6 contained in a closed receptacle 8, formed of two half-shells 8A and 8B.
  • the pressurized water circuit 6 makes the connection between a water inlet 3 intended to be connected to a water inlet, for example by means of a pipe, and a water outlet 4.
  • the figures 1 and 2 show more in detail the interior of the receptacle 8.
  • the pressurized water circuit 6 comprises a venturi injector 18 connected to at least two maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C, permitting constant dilution, mixing and dosing of said maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C regardless of the quantity of water passing through the pressurized water circuit 6.
  • the connection between said at least two maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C and the venturi injector 18 is performed by a product selector 14.
  • Said selector makes it possible to choose which of said at least two maintenance products 10A, 10B , 10C will be connected to the venturi injector and, in fact, mixed with the water circulating in the pressurized water circuit 6.
  • Said at least two maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C are contained in individual containers closed by a cap, for example of the bogus type, and which have an orifice at their cap allowing a plunger conduit 143 connected to the selector of product 14, to reach the bottom of the container and therefore the cleaning product.
  • the plug allows a sufficient air passage in the container to allow the suction of said maintenance product through the plunger 143.
  • Said cap must also be sufficiently sealed to delay as much as possible any leaks, for example if the device is returned or accidentally lying down.
  • said cap may contain for example a second orifice closed by a semi-permeable membrane, allowing air to pass but blocking the liquids.
  • Each container of said at least two cleaning products 10A, 10B, 10C is individually connected to the product selector 14 by the plunger conduit 143, the latter may comprise a non-return valve preventing for example a reflux of a different product in the container. , resulting in a mix of different products that can affect their effectiveness.
  • the venturi injector 18 delivers a constant dosage of said maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C regardless of the amount of water passing through the pressurized water circuit 6, the concentrations of maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C in the containers must be calculated so that the product concentration contained in the water at the water outlet 4 corresponds to the optimum concentration of efficacy of the cleaning product 10A, 10B, 10C.
  • each calibrated nozzle is assigned to a maintenance product 10A, 10B, 10C so that the product concentration contained in the water at the level of the water outlet 4 corresponds to the optimum concentration of effectiveness of the maintenance product 10A, 10B, 10C. If all the products have an optimum concentration of identical efficiency, it may for example require only a single nozzle downstream of the product selector 14.
  • the product selector 14 as well as the containers of said at least two maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C are like the pressurized water circuit 6 contained inside the receptacle 8.
  • Said product selector 14 fixed inside the receptacle 8 on a half-shell 8A, present on the outer surface of said half-shell 8A, a handling means 141, as shown in FIG. figure 3 , allowing to choose which of said at least two maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C will be connected with the venturi injector 18.
  • a visual cue 142 as shown in FIG. figure 3 may also be present on the outer surface of said half-shell 8A to identify the selected products by means of the product selector 14.
  • said dispensing, dosing and automatic dilution device 1 can contain three containers of maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C arranged side by side in the receptacle 8.
  • the two side product containers 10A and 10C having, example a capacity of one liter and the central container 10B a capacity of two liters.
  • said product selector 14 may be a four-position selector.
  • product selector 14 By product selector 14 four positions, it is understood that said product selector 14 comprises four product entries and an output connected to the venturi injector 18. Three of these product entries are connected to the maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C and the fourth product inlet is left free or it can be connected to a source of clean water, for example water circulating in the pressurized water circuit 6 upstream of the venturi injector 18.
  • the manipulation means 141 comprises four positions, three positions corresponding to the selection of a maintenance product 10A, 10B, 10C and a fourth position where no product is connected and thus mixed and diluted with the water circulating in the pressurized water circuit 6. This fourth position can allow rinsing of said pressurized water circuit 6 and of the product selector 14, between the use of two different products for example.
  • the pressurized water circuit 6 also comprises an on-off valve 16, located between the water inlet 3 and the venturi injector 18. Said on-off valve 16, which by default is closed, is opened by a With said valve opening means 20 being accessible from the outside of the receptacle 8, it can be for example a push button 20 on the surface of the receptacle 8.
  • the valve opening means 20 is connected to the on-off valve 16 by a return mechanism 21 which directly transmits the motion applied by the operator to the valve opening means 20 to the on-off valve 16, thus allowing its opening.
  • the opening of the all-or-nothing valve 16 allows the water to circulate in the pressurized water circuit 6 between the water inlet 3 and the water outlet 4 via the venturi injector 18.
  • the receptacle 8 may also include a carrying handle 22 to facilitate the gripping and the transport of the dispensing device, dosing and automatic dilution 1.
  • the valve opening means 20 of the on-off valve 16 may be located in the carrying handle 22.
  • the figures 1 and 2 show an example of valve opening means 20 located in the carrying handle 22.
  • the movement created by pressure on the opening means 20 by an operator is transmitted to the all-nothing valve 16 by the return mechanism 21 having a rigid "L" piece 211 pivoting about an axis 213 at the elbow of said "L".
  • Pressure on the opening means 20 at the end of the rigid "L” part 211 causes its rotation about the axis 213 and the other end of the rigid "L” part 211 applies a transverse movement to the all-or-nothing valve 16 causing it to open.
  • the figure 5 shows another example of valve opening means 20 and return mechanism 21.
  • the valve opening means 20 is located at the top of the receptacle 8 and the movement created by a pressure on the means of opening 20 by an operator is transmitted to the valve at nothing 16 by the return mechanism 21 comprising a movement transfer bar 214, a part 215 rotating about an axis and a rigid rod 216 connecting the part 215 and the valve all or nothing 16.
  • a pressure on the opening means 20 causes a rotation of the part 215 by means of the movement transfer bar 214 and this rotation causes a transverse movement of the rigid rod 216 which is transmitted to the valve while or nothing 16 causing its opening.
  • Said receptacle 8 may also include grooves 24 on its outer surface so as to be able to wind the pipe connecting the water inlet and the water inlet 3.
  • Said grooves 24 may have one or more narrowing 241 allowing wedging said pipe and thus keeping it wrapped around the receptacle 8.
  • the half-shells 8A and 8B forming the receptacle 8 can be fixed to each other by means of screws.
  • the half-shell 8B, opposite to the half-shell 8A comprising the manipulation means 141 of the product selector 14, may comprise a hatch 82 allowing access to the containers of the maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C and also their replacement when empty, as shown on the figure 4 .
  • Said hatch 82 may also have display means 84 for the remaining level of cleaning product 10A, 10B, 10C in the containers.
  • These display means 84 may for example be openings at the level of the hatch 82 or a translucent zone on said hatch 82 leaving a glimpse of the containers of the maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C themselves translucent.
  • Said door 82 may also have a locking means 86, for example a key lock or a padlock, preventing unqualified or unauthorized personnel to access the containers of the care products 10A, 10B, 10C.
  • a locking means 86 for example a key lock or a padlock, preventing unqualified or unauthorized personnel to access the containers of the care products 10A, 10B, 10C.
  • an operator can easily transport the dispensing device, metering and automatic dilution 1 according to the invention with its carrying handle and its reduced weight, related to the use of containers of products of maintenance 10A, 10B, 10C low, the total weight of the device can be between five and seven kilos with two containers of one liter and a container of two liters.
  • the operator can thus bring the dispensing device, dosing and automatic dilution 1 where it is useful, and can connect it to a water supply by means of the pipe.
  • the opening of the water inlet does not cause a flow of water through the pressurized water circuit 6 because the all-or-nothing valve 16 blocks this circulation.
  • the operator can thus choose from the maintenance products 10A, 10B, 10C by means of the product selector 14.
  • Continuous action of the operator on the valve opening means 20 causes the on-off valve 16 to open and the circulation of the water in the pressurized water circuit 6 begins, allowing mixing and dilution, level of the venturi injector 18, of the selected product.
  • the mixture, of constant product concentration, is recovered at the level of the water outlet 4.
  • Stopping the action on the valve opening means 20 causes the on-off valve 16 to close and thus stops the circulation of water in the pressurized water circuit 6, thereby avoiding any risk of leakage or unwanted flow.
  • the operator can then according to his needs choose another product or none thanks to the product selector 14.
  • the dispensing, dosing and automatic dilution device allows a simplified, optimized and above all mobile distribution according to the needs of the various maintenance products that it comprises, delivering an optimal dose of product. depending on the volume of water and this avoids wasting product overdose and therefore limiting the costs and impact on the environment.
