Definitions

  • the invention relates to a diffuser for multi-channel valve with n lanes having a protruding stem, n being equal to or greater than 2, which diffuser comprising a nozzle intended to be fixed on the projecting part of the stem.
  • the invention particularly relates to a diffuser for a two-way valve.
  • Multi-channel valves are known EP 1 281 635 A1 and EP 2 024 256 A1 . These are valves that can collect as many products as there are ways without these products cross before leaving the valve. They are intended for products that must be separated during storage and must come into contact only when they are applied in order to prevent them from reacting together prematurely.
  • the diffusers intended for these multi-way valves make it possible to actuate the valve. They have exit channels that usually do not meet. This allows products to come into contact only once they have left the broadcaster. A single pressure allows to simultaneously collect all the products contained in the housing.
  • the objective of the invention is therefore to develop diffusers which make it possible to take only one or the other of the different products contained in the housing. Another objective is to allow in addition to collect all products simultaneously.
  • the endpiece comprises a cylindrical portion of circular section in which n transfer ducts are formed (thus as many transfer ducts as there are channels in the multi-channel valve), each duct being provided with means for sealingly connecting it to the outlet of the corresponding channel of the valve when it is mounted on said valve, each transfer duct opening out of the cylindrical portion of the nozzle in a different radial plane and in an angular sector different from the cylindrical part.
  • the diffuser is further provided with a pivoting cap having a blind hole complementary to the portion cylindrical nozzle, which plug is fixed free to rotate by appropriate means on the cylindrical portion of the nozzle.
  • the pivoting cap is provided with n outlet ducts (i.e.
  • the other output ducts, located above or below the aligned output duct will not be aligned with the corresponding transfer ducts since these are all placed in different angular sectors.
  • the aligned transfer conduit being sealingly connected to the outlet of one of the channels of the multi-way valve, it is possible to take the corresponding product from the housing. The other products will not be able to leave since their transfer duct and their exit duct are not aligned.
  • the endpiece In order to allow not only the removal of only one of the products contained in the casing, but also the simultaneous sampling of all the products, it is possible to provide the endpiece with a second set of transfer ducts comprising as many ducts. transfer that there are channels in the multi-channel valve, these transfer ducts being placed one above the other in the same axial plane, in an angular sector different from the transfer ducts of the first set, to each transfer duct the first game corresponding a transfer conduit of the second game placed in the same radial plane and communicating with it. Therefore, at each output channel of the valve there is a first transfer line and a second transfer line in the tip and an outlet line in the plug. These three ducts are in the same radial plane.
  • the seal unit can consist of as many annular seals plus one as there are channels in the multi-way valve, the annular seals being arranged one above the other and two successive annular seals being joined together. together by two straight elements so as to form a window.
  • the joint unit is constituted by a sleeve in which are made as many openings as there are channels in the multi-way valve, each opening constituting a window.
  • the pivoting cap In order to facilitate the handling of the pivoting cap, it is preferable to provide it with a gripping ring surrounding the central part provided with the blind hole.
  • connection means of the transfer ducts may each be constituted by a hole of dimensions complementary to those of the outlet of the corresponding channel of the multi-way valve, so as to be able to fit tightly on said outlet and a chamber in which the corresponding channel of the valve opens when the diffuser is in the mounted position on the valve and from which the corresponding transfer conduit of the first set and, if appropriate, the corresponding transfer conduit of the second set.

  • the tip of this two-way diffuser may also comprise a second set of transfer ducts comprising two transfer ducts, these transfer ducts being placed one above the other in the same axial plane, in a plane axial axis perpendicular to the axial plane containing the transfer ducts of the first set, to each transfer duct of the first set corresponding a transfer duct of the second set placed in the same radial plane and communicating with it.
  • positioning indications such as “below” or “above”, “bottom” or “top” refer to the position the diffuser would have when mounted on a pressure bottle. placed with the valve pointing upwards, as shown on the figures 8 , 9 , and 10 . It goes without saying that these are not absolute spatial references and that the diffuser can be used in all positions, including with the valve pointing downwards.

  • the outlet duct (32b) is aligned with the second transfer duct (22b), the other ducts (22a, 23a, 23b) being obstructed by the wall of the blind hole (31) of the plug. If pressure is exerted on the plug (3) or on the radial wall (26) of the tip, the stem is moved downwards, releasing the orifices (822, 824) of the two channels (821, 823) of the stem . However, only the annular channel (823) is in contact with the outside via the second transfer duct (22b) and the second outlet duct (32b). Therefore, only the product contained in the housing or the outer pocket can come out.
  • a second set of transfer ducts (23a, 23b) is provided in the nozzle (cf. figure 11 ), it is then possible to place the plug in the "A / B" position opposite the "OFF" position.
  • the two outlet ducts (32a, 32b) of the plug are aligned with the two transfer ducts (23a, 23b) of the second set of ducts.
  • the conduits (22a, 22b) of the first set are obstructed by the wall of the blind hole (31) of the cap. If pressure is exerted on the plug (3) or on the radial wall (26) of the tip, the stem is moved downwards, releasing the orifices (822, 824) of the two channels (821, 823) of the stem .
  • both the central channel (821) and the annular channel (823) of the stem are in contact with the outside via the two transfer ducts (23a, 23b) and the two outlet ducts (32a, 32b). Therefore, both products can be sampled simultaneously.
  • the principle described here for two channels can be generalized to a valve having more than two output channels.
  • the transfer ducts of the first game will no longer be arranged 180 ° from each other, but will be distributed more or less regularly as needed over the entire circumference of the tip.
  • the plug will be provided with as many outlet pipes placed one above the other as there are channels in the valve.
  • stem output channels it is not necessary for the stem output channels to be concentric and open upward.
  • the tip of the invention it would for example be possible to adapt the tip of the invention to a two-way valve with parallel outputs as described for example in the document DE 76 31 034 U1 .
  • the diffuser of the invention it is possible to take a container with a multi-channel valve that one of the products. If necessary, however, it is possible to provide means for taking all the products simultaneously, as in a conventional diffuser. At no time do the products come into contact with each other before the diffuser exit. By choosing as many outlet ducts (32a, 32b) as there are products to be taken, the separation of the channels is guaranteed until the exit of the diffuser.
