Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bottle attachment device for handling liquids with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • These devices involve the accurate metering and delivery of fluids from a storage bottle or other storage container, with accurate metering in picking up a partial fluid volume from the storage bottle or the like into the device and / or dispensing a partial fluid volume out of the device to the outside into a container.
  • Bottle attachments of the type in question are in particular burettes and dispensers.
  • Such bottle top devices are widely used in chemistry, biology and pharmacy in the laboratory and in production.
  • liquid in the present context refers to liquids which are used extensively in chemistry, biology, pharmacy, etc. in the laboratory and in production, in particular liquids having a relative viscosity of up to about 300 (viscosity based on the viscosity of water under normal conditions ). It is therefore the fluid range from very fluid to slightly viscous.
  • a manually operated burette is used in titration to determine the unknown amount of a solute from the consumption of a reagent liquid of known concentration. To ensure proper and economic analysis work, a burette is required to quickly and accurately dispense and display the particular amount of fluid. High demands are placed on the precision of the liquid dispensing and on the operator safety (General Catalog 600 "Laboratory Equipment from Brand" of BRAND GMBH + CO KG 09/01, No. 9963 00, "Burette Digital III", pages 27 to 34).
  • the bottle top device is described in its operating position, that is mounted in its position on a storage bottle and aligned substantially vertically.
  • valve block In the valve block is regularly a suction valve, which allows to suck liquid from the storage bottle by means of a suction pipe.
  • an exhaust duct Approximately horizontally from the valve block, an exhaust duct extends with an exhaust valve located therein. Since the discharge line protrudes approximately horizontally from the valve block and often still carries an additional switching valve, this is the side from which an operator works with the bottle top unit. This page will be referred to below as “front” or “front”. The opposite side is the “back” or “back”.
  • a display with corresponding operating elements is regularly at the front.
  • a well-known bottle attachment for handling liquids (see the General Catalog 600 "burette Digital III", as stated above) is characterized in that the cylinder-piston arrangement is covered by a closed top outer housing from above. This outer housing moves together with the piston rod relative to the cylinder upwards. To accomplish this, located on the cylinder a vertically extending rack, with a pinion on a drive shaft which is mounted in the outer housing, meshes.
  • the piston drive this bottle attachment device is designed for manual operation and therefore carries the drive shaft there at both ends outside the outer housing each have a manual control knob.
  • a bottle attachment in the form of a piston burette with digital display, in which a the piston drive, the display, a sensor assembly and a control electronics receiving housing in solid, non-variable relative position to the valve block ( DE-C-35 01 909 ).
  • the teaching of the invention is based.
  • the outer housing is not closed, but the piston rod passes through the housing from bottom to top already in the lowest position of the piston in the cylinder.
  • the piston rod moves up out of the housing.
  • an upwardly connected bellows By an upwardly connected bellows while the entry of dirt and dust on the passage opening for the piston rod is prevented in the housing.
  • the measuring strip is an optical scale and the sensor arrangement is an incident light system.
  • the measuring strip is part of a capacitive system, which also includes the sensor. Opposing electrodes are arranged so that two pairs of measuring capacitances for measuring the relative movement between the measuring strip and the sensor are formed.
  • the piston rod carries a magnetic strip. Adjacent to the piston rod, a reading head is fixedly provided in the housing, which is aligned with the magnetic measuring strip and separated therefrom by a gap. An electronic control circuit is coupled to the read head, which reads the measurement information on the magnetic strip and injects appropriate pulses into the control circuit. This converts the pulses and controls a digital display, which in turn indicates the volume of liquid dispensed based on the relative movement between the piston and cylinder.
  • the section number of the displacement gauge is limited for mechanical reasons (typically one section is about 1 mm long), a significantly higher resolution of the measurements can only be achieved by directly evaluating the analog sinusoidal (and cosine) signals rather than just their zero crossings to use.
  • One has a sinusoidal signal and a cosinusoidal signal, because one usually operates with two magnetic field sensitive encoders which are offset in pitch of the displacement gauge so as to emit two signals offset by a quarter of a period.
  • the teaching of the present invention is based on the problem of further increasing the measuring accuracy of a bottle-top device of the type from which the invention is based.
  • the surface of the optically active measuring strip facing the sensor forms a plane which lies on the longitudinal central axis of the piston rod.
  • the sensor detecting the magnetic field of the measuring strip lies on the longitudinal central axis of the piston rod, that is to say it is positioned.
  • the longitudinal center axis of the piston rod should lie between the sensor-facing surface of the measuring strip and the sensor itself when the piston rod is in the set position.
  • the senor is designed as a magnetoresistive sensor system, in particular based on the AMR effect, and the evaluation circuit has a largely highly integrated, cost-effective mixed-signal controller, which evaluates the converted analog sensor signals directly via an interpolation software.
  • Mixed-signal controllers are microcontrollers that connect various electronic processing functions, which are also suitable for evaluating the sensor signals via interpolation software, with the functions of an A / D converter.
  • a mixed-signal microcontroller replaces a three-stage arrangement of A / D converter, processing stage with processing software and output stage.
  • Such a mixed-signal microcontroller is regularly far cheaper to use at the signal level of AMR sensors than a three-stage arrangement.
  • Microcontrollers are offered by different providers with different power spectra (see for example the Datasheet "MSP 430 x 33 x MIXED SIGNAL MICROCONTROLLERS", February 1998, Texas Instruments ). With a mixed-signal microcontoller you not only create a simple signal processing solution, but in particular a very low power consumption both during operation and when idle. (For detailed information, please refer to the relevant data sheets, in particular the previously mentioned data sheet.)
  • Mixed signal controllers can be realized in different versions, for example as PSoC (Programmable System on a Chip), as DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or as FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).
  • PSoC Programmable System on a Chip
  • DSP Digital Signal Processor
  • FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array
  • the latter has a purely digital input transducer, allowing a discrete upstream A / D converter to turn the overall arrangement into a mixed-signal controller of the type described.
  • the evaluation by means of the evaluation circuit with an ON / OFF duty cycle of about 0.1 to about 0.02, preferably between about 0.05 and about 0.03, in particular with an ON Time from about 0.6 ms to about 0.1 ms, in particular between about 0.3 ms and about 0.15 ms.
  • the interpolation software operates at an interpolation rate between 200 and 1,000, in particular between about 400 and about 600, preferably about 500.
  • the device according to the invention a structure can be realized, which ensures safe operation and at the same time easy handling.
  • the power consumption of the measuring system is low and the cost of production are also lower than with traditional bottle-top devices.
  • the solution of claim 12 has a displacement of at least one operating button of the display on the front of the outer housing on the top of the subject. It can be arranged on the top of the outer housing depending on the space and requirements but also two or even more buttons.
  • the outer housing is closed on the top side and includes the cylinder-piston arrangement from above.
  • the solution makes use of this fact known for decades to advantage for an optimized operation possibility of the bottle top attachment.
  • An operating button which is often used when working with the bottle top unit, can be actuated here by pressure from above. As a result, a quick and error-free operation is possible without a serious tilting moment is exerted on the bottle top unit and the storage bottle underneath. Unlike the arranged on the front of the outer case operating buttons thus no holding back the outer housing is required.
  • the actuating button arranged on the upper side of the outer housing may be a single, large-area button bordering the outer housing at the edge.
  • a circuit board is arranged, which carries a push button, which is actuated by the actuating button.
  • the board is then seated in a slot of the receiving compartment.
  • the board may be connected to the circuit board via a film hinge, which is preferably formed by a circuit film web.
  • the outer housing is provided with ventilation openings, which are arranged to achieve convection both centrally and / or down and on top of the outer housing.
  • the piston drive is designed for manual operation and has a drive shaft which carries at one end or at each end outside of the outer housing a manual operation knob and in that central ventilation openings are concealed under the hand operation knob or the hand operation knobs are arranged.
  • lower ventilation openings are arranged at the edge close to the valve block under at least one protective cap.
  • the solutions according to the invention which in particular increase operator safety, can be used in principle in the case of both previously treated types of bottle attachment devices, that is to say with a traveling outer housing and with an outer housing fixedly arranged on the valve block.
  • the term "fixed” in this context means that the outer housing is not moved relative to the valve block in this variant, when the piston of the cylinder-piston assembly is moved.
  • this outer housing may well be detachable from the valve block to perform repairs or cleaning or sterilization of the cylinder and / or the piston or other assemblies.
  • By actuating the top of the outer housing no liquid is discharged.
  • the outer housing does not move when a force acting vertically from above is introduced.
  • no protruding piston rod can be driven.
  • an optimization of the measuring system in devices of the type in question is achieved in that the sensor arrangement is arranged in a fully closed to the measuring strip receiving pocket.
  • the sensor arrangement can optionally be cast in the receiving pocket with potting compound in the rear, in order to ensure an optimum protective effect for the sensor arrangement.
  • a magnetic field-sensitive sensor arrangement is concerned with a correspondingly magnetized measuring strip.
  • An optical sensor arrangement uses an optical scale.
  • a suitable alternative has a wall portion of the receiving pocket, which is designed as a film.
  • This film should be extremely thin and have a low permeability to the gases occurring.
  • Such a thin film can even consist of transparent material, so that the sensor of the sensor arrangement can work optically.
  • the receiving pocket is provided with slot connections that allow an exact alignment of the receiving pocket on the measuring strip when installed in the device.
  • the senor is arranged in the receiving pocket at its side facing the measuring strip behind a thin-walled wall portion of the receiving pocket.
  • the sensor has been brought as close as possible to the gauge, without actually touching it, and while maintaining a gas-tight seal of the sensor assembly to the interior of the device.
  • the receiving pocket consists of a chemical-resistant plastic, in particular of PEEK.
  • Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a bottle attachment according to the invention for handling liquids, here in the form of a burette.
  • Bottle-top dispensers emerge, for example, from the DE-U-88 00 844 and in particular the EP-A-0 542 241 , which will be discussed below.

  • the illustrated bottle top unit has in the outer housing 2, first a valve block 10. At this is attached or integrally formed the already mentioned mounting assembly 3, with the fact of the valve block 10 is mounted on the storage bottle 1. At the same time then also the outer housing 2 is mounted on the storage bottle 1.
  • valve block 10 as a one-piece made of plastic, in particular made of chemical resistant plastic component, which is provided with a plurality of channels and internals.
  • the construction largely corresponds to the valve block ofaunaufsatzdispensers, from the EP-A-0 542 241 is known and belongs to the prior art.

Below the discharge valve insert 15 extends in the valve body 16, a return passage 20, which continues in the valve block 10 to a downwardly outgoing return line 21.
  • the valve block 10 further includes near the back of a bottle venting line 22, which opens in a rearwardly, radially open plug receptacle 23.
  • a plug 24 closing this or a similar closure element, but having a small passage opening, so that the interior of the storage bottle 1 is connected via the bottle venting line 22 and this passage in the plug 24 with the ambient atmosphere.
  • a pressure equalization in the storage bottle 1 is possible.
  • existing valve block 10 is a preferably and also made of glass existing cylinder 26 fixed and sealed against the valve block 10 in a cylinder mount 25. Specifically, the cylinder 26 is compressed in the cylinder receptacle 25.
  • the illustrated bottle top unit While in the area of the valve block 10, the illustrated bottle top unit is designed according to the already extensively known and very well-proven prior art, the construction in the field of cylinder-piston arrangement is significantly different than before.
  • Fig. 2 combined with Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 makes it clear that initially a cylinder 26 surrounding, upwardly beyond the cylinder 26 also extending, supporting frame 30 is provided.
  • This frame 30 is at the bottom firmly connected to the valve block 10 in an axially precisely determined position, but in principle detachable from the valve block 10.
  • the solubility of the frame 30 from the valve block 10 is here realized by the fact that at the top of the valve block 10, an external thread is provided and that the frame 30 has a flange below, which is provided with a cap 31 with internal thread.
  • the larger illustration in the Fig. 3 and 4 makes it clear that the cap 31 is guided on the frame 30 and can escape upwards.
  • the frame 30 can thus be brought first with its lower edge in the desired position on the valve block 10. Therein, while retaining this position, the cap 31 can be screwed onto the external thread on the valve block 10 and the frame 30 can thus be fixed relative to the valve block 10.
  • the frame 30 It is also essential for the frame 30 that it also receives or carries the piston drive 29.
  • the piston drive 29 does not have to be part of the frame 30, in any case the frame 30 represents the supporting component for the piston drive 29 and determines its position relative to the valve block 10.
  • the frame 30 is expanded and extended block-like upwards there and has there various recesses for receiving various parts of the piston drive 29. This will be discussed later.
  • a releasably connected to the valve block 10 outer housing 2 is provided. This encloses the frame 30 on the outside, thus forming the outer shell of the bottle top unit and protects the internal components. It extends beyond the piston drive 29 on the frame 30 in any case slightly upwards and is closed in the illustrated and preferred embodiment above.
  • the illustrated and preferred embodiment can in Fig. 2 in conjunction with the Fig. 3 and 4 Furthermore, recognize that the cap 31 can not be operated easily here. Rather, it is provided for safety reasons and for reasons of accessibility in the outer housing 2, that the cap 31 can be operated only with a special tool 32. This tool 32 can be seen in Fig. 2 top left in a suspension at the back of the outer housing 2.
  • the small stroke of the piston 27 in the bottle top unit facilitates the closed design of the outer housing 2, because the complete stroke of the piston rod 28 can be handled within the outer housing 2.
  • the outer housing 2 still does not have to be made excessively high. Also, it does not have to ride along with the piston rod 28 in whole or in part.
  • the illustrated construction thus increases the operating safety of the bottle top unit.
  • the lower the bottle top unit the higher the stability of a stock bottle 1 equipped with such a bottle top unit.
  • the stroke quotient has a value of just under 2.0 in the illustrated embodiment for the nominal volume of 25 ml and a value of approximately 50 ml for the nominal volume 1.4. With a nominal volume of 100 ml, which would represent a rather unusually large arrangement, one would come to a value of about 1.0, which would mean an effective diameter of the piston 27 of about 50 mm.
  • the execution of the cylinder 26 as a calibrated glass tube with extremely high precision further increases the accuracy of the bottle top unit in total.
  • the use of a calibrated glass tube as a cylinder 26 is useful and expedient here because of the measures taken otherwise.
  • Fig. 3 and 4 show, moreover, that in the upper part of the frame 30, a drive shaft 33 of the piston drive 29 is mounted.
  • the primary objective of the invention is a manually actuated bottle attachment device with an electronic, in particular digital measured value acquisition and display.
  • Fig. 1 . 3 and 4 in that the piston actuator 29 is designed for manual actuation and the drive shaft 33 at one end or at each end outside the outer housing 2 a manual operation knob 38 carries. It can be seen the two hand control knobs 38 left and right on the outer housing 2 in Fig. 1 ,
  • the geared connection between the drive shaft 33 and the pinion 35 is preferably designed so that a rotation of the manual operation knob 38 causes a downward movement of the piston 27 forward and downward.
  • Ergonomic studies have shown that good dosing accuracy can be optimally associated with quickly picking up or dispensing large quantities of fluid when the maximum stroke of the piston 27 equals five to ten of the manual operation knob 38.
  • the design of the piston 27 in the cylinder 26 is important.
  • the piston 27 is made in one piece with the piston rod 28, or designed as a separate part and firmly attached to the piston rod 28, in particular screwed.
  • the illustrated embodiment shows the piston rod 28, and screwed thereto by means of a central fastening screw 39, the piston 27, which here carries him a bottom side and circumferentially comprehensive slide piece 40 made of a very good sliding material, in particular PTFE.
  • the sliding piece 40 forms a cylinder 26 under pressure applied to the sliding ring 40a, which is deposited to generate pressure with a piston 27 supported on the spring ring 42 from a preferably also resistant to chemicals material.
  • the spring ring 42 is shown in the drawing as Hlohlhuntring, for example made of chemical-resistant elastomer material. It is essential that the sliding ring 40 a itself does not have to apply the force to achieve the sealing effect of the sliding piece 40 on the inner surface of the cylinder 26. This is taken over by the spring ring 42, which is adapted for it. Incidentally, it can scarcely be recognized in the drawing that the outer circumferential surface of the sliding ring 40a can still be structured in order to realize, for example, a multi-start scraper ring.
  • the piston 27 is not down against the valve block 10, but the piston rod 28 or the piston 27 is driven up against a stop 43.
  • the stop 43 can be adjustable and should be removable in any case in order to be able to pull out the piston 27 together with the piston rod 28, for example for cleaning or sterilization measures. This measure makes it possible, even in the lowest position of the piston 27, to leave a small gap to the valve block 10 or to the bottom of the cylinder 26. Bumps here can not bother you then.
  • the stop 43 engages near the piston drive 29 on the piston 27 fixedly connected to the piston rod 28. As a result, the stop 43 and the point of force application of the piston drive 29 on the piston rod 28 are close to each other.
  • the frame 30 is not designed as an open frame, but as a substantially closed housing, which is the case in the present embodiment (see in particular Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 ), it is recommended that the frame 30 in any case with a front view section 44 or a corresponding window and, as provided here ( Fig. 5 ), to provide a rear sight 45 or a corresponding window. This allows you to look into the cylinder 26 from the front or the back.
  • a viewing cutout or a window in the frame would not be of any use if the outer casing 2 were not covered by the viewing cutout 44; 45 or window of the frame 30 would have a corresponding window 46 and 47, respectively.
  • a viewing window may optionally be UV-protective colored, for example in brown color.
  • the front window 46 in the outer housing 2 is also in Fig. 1 to recognize.
  • ventilation openings 48 which expediently to achieve convection in the middle, z. B. concealed under the manual operation knob 38, or below near the valve block 10 and above the upper end of the outer housing 2 are arranged.
  • the illustrated and preferred embodiment shows that the overhead ventilation openings 48 are arranged on the head of the outer housing 2, preferably under an actuating button 49 arranged on the upper side.
  • a large-area actuator button 49 which is labeled here with the word "Clear”, that is, represents a zeroing button. Such is often used when working with a burette.
  • the actuating button 49 on the top of the outer housing 2 is designed as a push button. Their operation is thus carried out by pressure from the top of the outer housing 2. Thus, a quick and error-free operation is possible without a serious tilting moment is exerted on the bottle top unit and the storage bottle 1 underneath. Unlike the arranged on the front of the outer housing 2 operation buttons 6 thus no holding back the outer housing 2 is required.
  • the large-area actuating button 49 offers the possibility of hiding the ventilation opening 48 thereunder. This shows Fig. 2 ,

Other fixation options are given, for example, here by a screw. Appropriately here is the simultaneous use of the plug 24, also because this is particularly well accessible from the back of the bottle top device.

  • Fig. 11b shows in conjunction with Fig. 11a in that a measurement error with regard to the distance measurement in the axial direction could also result from an inclination of the piston rod 28 in the cylinder 26, in particular relative to the piston 27.
  • This measurement error occurs in a device of the type in question because of the otherwise achieved high precision. It is caused by the fact that the piston rod 28 in the region of the piston drive 29 has a certain lateral play, for example of 0.3 mm. This leads to a minimum, but disturbing in the context of the present measurement accuracy inclination of the piston rod 28, which causes a Wegmesscons.
  • This arrangement rule for the measuring strip 64 on the piston rod 28 is based on the recognition that in a Auflichtsystem the surface of the measuring strip 64 is the interface between the measuring strip 64 and sensor 66. If I place these as close as possible to the longitudinal central axis of the piston rod 28, I minimize the measurement error resulting from the play-related inclination of the piston rod 28.

Tilts the measuring strip 64 as in Fig. 11b Although the output field of the field lines moves slightly to the left, the tilting causes the direction of the field lines to also be tilted; these run slightly upward from the measuring strip 64 in the direction of the sensor 66.
  • the interface namely at the sensor 66, slightly changes only the amplitude, which is correctable, but not the phase position, which is crucial for the distance measurement.
  • the interface is somewhere between the two previously described orientations.
  • the sensor 66 in the sensor arrangement 65 no longer lies next to the piston rod 28 but in its light profile. Accordingly, it is recommended that the piston rod 28 has a corresponding position of the sensor 66 permitting recess or flattening.

  • the illustrated embodiments show; the sensor arrangement 65 is not arranged on the outer housing 2 but on the dimensionally stable frame 30.
  • the entire metrological chain is completely concentrated on the frame 30, so that its dimensional stability leads to the excellent accuracy of the bottle-top device according to the invention.
  • the measuring strip 64 is an optical scale and the sensor arrangement 65 is a high-resolution incident-light system, in particular with four incident-light diodes. Then, the construction in the area of the sensor arrangement 65 is of course different from what has been described above.
  • the accuracy of measurements in the bottle-top device according to the invention can be increased to an accuracy R of approximately +/- 0.06% and a coefficient of variation VK of approximately 0.02% at nominal volumes of 25 ml and 50 ml.
