Das Ventilgehäuse ist innerhalb des Aufnahmeraums des an der Unterseite der Tellerfläche angeformten Fortsatzes seitlich geführt und weist zumindest einen Gehäuseabschnitt auf, der an seinem Umfang an einer Innenfläche des Aufnahmeraums anliegt.The valve plate of the aerosol container is made of plastic and has a plate surface with a plunger opening for a valve element of the dispensing valve. According to the invention a dimensionally stable extension is formed on the underside of the plate surface, which has a receiving space for a valve housing of the dispensing valve. The valve housing is located in the receiving space on a seal and is fixed in the receiving space. After its assembly, the valve housing is firmly clamped in the receiving space of the extension and presses on a seal which is arranged between the valve housing and the valve disc. The seal is, for example, a sealing ring, which on an end face the valve body can be pre-assembled. The seal may alternatively consist of a sealing component which is integrally formed on the valve disc. The extension is claimed after the assembly of the dispensing valve essentially only to train. The extension can therefore be formed with a relatively small wall thickness. The valve housing is guided laterally within the receiving space of the formed on the underside of the plate surface extension and has at least one housing portion which abuts at its periphery on an inner surface of the receiving space.
Die Befestigung des Ventilgehäuses innerhalb des Aufnahmeraums des Fortsatzes kann auf verschiedene Weise erfolgen. Nachfolgend werden vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Beispiele beschrieben.The attachment of the valve housing within the receiving space of the extension can be done in various ways. Hereinafter, advantageous embodiments and examples will be described.
Das Ventilgehäuse ist vorzugsweise als Steckteil in den Aufnahmeraum des Fortsatzes einführbar und durch mindestens ein separat handhabbares Sicherungselement mit dem Fortsatz verbunden. Das Sicherungselement ist ein separates Teil. Die Verbindung kann beispielsweise durch Passstifte, Gewindestifte oder Schrauben erfolgen, die an dem Mantel des Fortsatzes befestigt sind und auf das Ventilgehäuse wirken. Die Sicherungsmittel können beispielsweise in Bohrungen, Gewindebohrungen oder auch in eine Ringnut am Umfang des Ventilgehäuses eingreifen. Die mechanische Verbindung kann entweder als lösbare oder als nicht lösbare Verbindung ausgestaltet sein.The valve housing is preferably insertable as a plug-in part in the receiving space of the extension and connected by at least one separately manageable securing element with the extension. The fuse element is a separate part. The connection can be made for example by dowel pins, set screws or screws, which are attached to the jacket of the extension and act on the valve housing. The securing means may engage, for example, in holes, threaded holes or in an annular groove on the circumference of the valve housing. The mechanical connection can be designed either as a detachable or non-detachable connection.
Erfindungsgemäß sind der Fortsatz und das Ventilgehäuse des Abgabeventils durch eine gabelförmige Sicherungsfeder verbunden, welche an der Außenseite des Fortsatzes aufsteckbar ist, wobei die Sicherungsfeder in Fenster des Fortsatzes eingreift und eine axiale Gegenfläche des Ventilgehäuses hinterfasst. Der Sicherungsring ermöglicht eine axiale Lagesicherung des Abgabeventils und kann aus Metall oder Kunststoff bestehen.According to the invention, the extension and the valve housing of the dispensing valve are connected by a fork-shaped securing spring, which can be plugged on the outside of the extension, wherein the locking spring engages in the window of the extension and an axial counter surface of the valve housing behind summarizes. The circlip allows for axial positional securing of the dispensing valve and may be made of metal or plastic.
Die Tellerfläche des Ventiltellers weist vorzugsweise Versteifungsrippen auf. Die Anzahl, Geometrie und Ausrichtung der Versteifungsrippen ist so gewählt, dass die Tellerfläche eine ausreichende Formstabilität erhält, um die axialen Kräfte aufzunehmen, die durch den Druck innerhalb des Aerosolbehälters erzeugt werden und sowohl bei einer Montage des Abgabeventils als auch bei einer Befüllung des Aerosolbehälters auftreten können. Die Versteifungsrippen können insbesondere strahlenförmig zur Stößelöffnung ausgerichtet sein.The plate surface of the valve disk preferably has stiffening ribs. The number, geometry and orientation of the stiffening ribs is chosen so that the plate surface receives sufficient dimensional stability to absorb the axial forces generated by the pressure within the aerosol container and occur both during assembly of the dispensing valve and during filling of the aerosol container can. The stiffening ribs may in particular be aligned radially to the plunger opening.
Der Ventilteller kann kostengünstig als Kunststoffspritzgussteil hergestellt werden. Er besteht insbesondere aus einem faserverstärkten Kunststoff, kann aber auch aus einem Kunststoff ohne Faserverstärkung hergestellt und verwendet werden. Als Kunststoff kommen thermoplastische Polymere, insbesondere Polyethylenterephthalat (PTE), Polyamide (PA), Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) und Polybutylenterephthalat (PBT) in Betracht. Bei Anwendung einer Mehrkomponenten-Spritzgusstechnik kann der Ventilteller angeformte Dichtungskomponenten aufweisen, die beispielsweise aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer, Silikonkautschuk oder Gummi bestehen.The valve disk can be inexpensively manufactured as a plastic injection molded part. It consists in particular of a fiber-reinforced plastic, but can also be made of a plastic without fiber reinforcement and used. Suitable plastics are thermoplastic polymers, in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PTE), polyamides (PA), polyethylenes (PE), polypropylenes (PP) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). When using a multi-component injection molding technique, the valve plate may have molded gasket components, which consist for example of a thermoplastic elastomer, silicone rubber or rubber.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung ist die Tellerfläche nach außen gewölbt. Die erfindungsgemäße Formgebung der Tellerfläche trägt dazu bei, dass der Ventilteller mit geringem Materialeinsatz hergestellt werden kann.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the plate surface is curved outwardly. The shaping of the plate surface according to the invention contributes to the fact that the valve disk can be produced with a low use of material.
Der Ventilteller weist ferner zweckmäßig einen Kragen auf, der an einer die Behälteröffnung begrenzenden Behälterinnenfläche anliegt und axial an der Behälterwandung abgestützt ist. Durch den Kragen ist der Ventilteller innerhalb der Behälteröffnung zentriert. Die axiale Abstützung erleichtert u.a. eine Positionierung des Ventiltellers im Zuge des Montageprozesses.The valve disk further expediently has a collar, which rests against a container inner surface bounding the container opening and is supported axially on the container wall. Through the collar of the valve plate is inside the container opening centered. The axial support facilitates, inter alia, positioning of the valve disk in the course of the assembly process.
Der Aerosolbehälter kann aus Metall oder Kunststoff bestehen. Im Fall eines Metallbehälters ist dieser zweckmäßig durch Blechumformung formschlüssig mit dem Ventilteller verbunden. Sofern der Ventilteller für eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit einem Metallbehälter bestimmt ist, weist der Ventilteller zweckmäßig einen Kragen mit mindestens einer radialen Rippe auf, wobei die Rippe von dem Blechmantel des Behälters umbördelt ist und wobei zwischen dem Kragen und dem Blechmantel des Behälters eine Dichtung eingespannt ist.The aerosol container may be made of metal or plastic. In the case of a metal container this is suitably connected by sheet metal form-fitting manner with the valve disk. If the valve disk is intended for a positive connection with a metal container, the valve disk expediently has a collar with at least one radial rib, wherein the rib is beaded by the metal jacket of the container and wherein a seal is clamped between the collar and the metal jacket of the container ,
Sofern der Behälter aus Kunststoff besteht, kommen mehrere Möglichkeiten zur Verbindung des Ventiltellers mit dem Behälter in Betracht. So kann der Ventilteller mit dem Kunststoffbehälter verschweißt oder verklebt werden. Durch Warmumformung des Ventiltellers kann eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit dem Behälterrand erzeugt werden. Des Weiteren besteht die Möglichkeit, den Ventilteller und einen aus Kunststoff bestehenden Behälter durch Heißverstemmen zu verbinden. Zur Verbindung des Kunststofftellers mit einem vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff bestehenden Behälter ist außerdem eine nichtlösbare Schraubverbindung oder eine Steckverbindung unter Anwendung einer mehrteiligen Klemmeinrichtung geeignet. Konstruktive Ausgestaltungen zur Verbindung des Ventiltellers mit einem aus Kunststoff oder Metall bestehenden Behälter werden im Folgenden anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen erläutert.If the container is made of plastic, several possibilities for connecting the valve disk with the container come into consideration. Thus, the valve plate can be welded or glued to the plastic container. By hot forming the valve disk, a positive connection with the container edge can be generated. Furthermore, it is possible to connect the valve disk and a container made of plastic by hot caulking. For connecting the plastic plate with a preferably made of plastic container also a non-detachable screw or a plug connection using a multi-part clamping device is suitable. Constructive embodiments for connecting the valve disk to a container made of plastic or metal are explained below with reference to exemplary embodiments.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen, welche einerseits die Verbindung zwischen dem Ventilgehäuse und dem Ventilteller betreffen und sich andererseits auf die randseitige Befestigung des Ventiltellers am Aerosolbehälter beziehen, können beliebig untereinander kombiniert werden.The measures according to the invention, which on the one hand relate to the connection between the valve housing and the valve disk and, on the other hand, relate to the edge-side fastening of the valve disk to the aerosol container, can be combined with one another as desired.
