Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the distribution of a fluid product in an electrophoresis device, and more particularly, but not exclusively, packaging and distribution devices capable of delivering a predefined quantity of a cosmetic or dermatological product.
  • Dispensing devices comprising a reservoir containing the product to be dispensed and a pump mounted on the reservoir for, when actuated, dispensing a dose of product, are widely known.
  • a subject of the invention is thus, according to one of its aspects, an electrophoresis apparatus according to claim 1.
  • the invention makes it possible, on each actuation of the motor, to act on the dispensing means and to dispense a predefined quantity of product.
  • the switching member is an electromechanical switch
  • the stop control element is a cam arranged to press the switch.
  • the cam can act on the switch, normally closed, when the stop control element is in the active position.
  • the switch is normally open and the cam depresses the switch for substantially one revolution of the shaft, except in the active position, where the motor is to stop.
  • the switch may be electrically connected in series with the electric motor, the latter operating when the switch is closed.
  • the switch controls an electronic power component or a relay which controls the operation of the electric motor.
  • Direct control is preferable in order to reduce costs, the current absorbed by the motor being able to remain relatively low in the case of dispensing a cosmetic or dermatological product.
  • the restart circuit comprises a time delay defining the duration during which it remains active after its triggering, this duration preferably being sufficiently short so that the motor shaft only makes one revolution after the triggering of the restart circuit.
  • the restart circuit short-circuits the switching member in the activated state.
  • the distribution means is preferably a pump actuated by the rotation of the shaft.
  • the device may include a cam arranged so as to drive a member of the pump in movement on an actuating stroke at each revolution of the shaft.
  • the actuating cam of the switch and the actuating cam of the pump are preferably angularly offset on the shaft, so that the cam actuation of the switch actuates the latter after the actuation cam of the pump has actuated the pump.
  • the pump may be a diaphragm pump, the pump actuating cam pressing on the diaphragm.
  • the restart circuit can be triggered manually.
  • the device may include a control circuit automatically determining a need for product and controlling the restart circuit so as to dispense a dose of product corresponding to the need.
  • the product can be any, preferably being a cosmetic or dermatological product.
  • the device may include an electrode for subjecting the region treated with the product to an electric current, the device being an electrophoresis device.
  • the apparatus (or device) 1 shown in figure 1 comprises a housing 2, which accommodates, as visible on the figure 2 in particular, a reservoir 3 containing the product to be dispensed.
  • This reservoir 3 is for example defined by a refill which is replaced when the product is used up or, in a variant, the reservoir is filled each time with product from an external reserve of product.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a pump 5 which, in the example considered, is a diaphragm pump 6, the pump being actuated by a pressing and releasing movement of the diaphragm 6.
  • a pump 5 which, in the example considered, is a diaphragm pump 6, the pump being actuated by a pressing and releasing movement of the diaphragm 6.
  • Such pumps are known in themselves. .
  • the pump 5 is supplied by the reservoir 3 and delivers, when actuated, the product taken from the reservoir 3 to a dispensing nozzle 7 connected to the head of the device 1.
  • the latter may include any application member suitable for distribute the product delivered by the nozzle 7 onto human keratin materials.
  • the device 1 is also arranged to subject the region to which the product is applied to an electric current, facilitating the action of the product, the device 1 constituting an electrophoresis device.
  • the apparatus 1 may include an electrode, not visible, coming into contact with the composition, which conducts electricity, and a counter-electrode, not shown, held by the user so as to allow a current to flow in the region treated.
  • the pump 5 comprises a body which is fixedly held by any suitable means in the housing 2 of the device.
  • An electric motor 10 is used to actuate the pump 5.
  • This motor 10 drives in rotation around an axis X a shaft on which are mounted a first 11 and a second cam 12.
  • the axis X is oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the end piece 7.
  • the first cam 11 is arranged to act on an electromechanical switch 14 such as a microswitch, comprising a lever 15, the tilting of which causes the switch to change state.
  • an electromechanical switch 14 such as a microswitch, comprising a lever 15, the tilting of which causes the switch to change state.
  • the second cam 12 is arranged to act on the membrane 6 of the pump 5 so as to press on the latter and then release it, at each revolution around the axis X.
  • the motor 10 is reduced so that the cam 12 has the force necessary to act on the pump 6.
  • An electronic restart circuit 20, shown schematically on figure 5 is housed in the device 1 to control the operation of the motor 10.
  • the switch 14 is electrically connected in series to the motor 10 according to the diagram of figure 5 , by conductors not shown, connected to the tabs 16 of the switch 14.
  • the apparatus houses an electrical source 23 which supplies the electrical energy necessary for supplying electronic circuit 20 and for operating motor 10.
  • the cams 11 and 12 are angularly offset, so that the cam 12 can actuate the pump 5 for the dispensing of a dose of product by the latter when the cam 11 executes one revolution with the starting point and end point. the moment when the switch changes state due to actuation of the lever 15. The latter is returned to the rest position by a spring integrated into the switch 14, in a manner known per se.
  • the electronic circuit 20 comprises a time delay which makes it possible to apply a voltage pulse 30 to an electronic switch 31, such as for example a transistor, to turn it on, this switch 31 being mounted in parallel with the switch 14.
  • the user triggers the time delay, for example by pressing a control button for dispensing a dose of product, connected to the electronic circuit 20, and the motor 10 is started.
  • the duration d of the time delay is sufficient for the first cam 11 to leave the lever 15 and for the switch 14 to return to its idle pass-through configuration.
  • the switch 31 returns to a non-conducting state, but the rotation of the cam 12 can continue thanks to the closed state of the switch 14. This rotation continues until the first cam 11 again reaches the lever 15 and causes the switch 14 to change state, to make it non-conducting, in which case the motor 10 stops.
  • the rotation of the cam 12 during this operating cycle actuated the membrane 6 of the pump 5 and led to the dispensing of a dose of product.
  • the dispensing cycle is restarted by the emission of a new slot 30 by the electronic circuit 20.
  • the switch 14 may not be a lever but for example of the ILS type, comprising a blade which can move under the effect of a magnetic field, and the cam 11 is replaced by a wheel carrying a magnet which can come and act on this blade to change the state of the switch for a certain angular position of the motor shaft.
  • the diaphragm pump 5 and the cam 12 can be replaced by a piston which can move in the reservoir under the effect of the rotation of a threaded rod driven by the motor.
