- a sealing element for sealing off the piston can be arranged on the inside of the second pump body section between the outside of the piston and the inside of the second pump body section.
- Such a seal is in detail DE 10 2009 099 262 described. All statements relating to this sealing element also apply without restriction to the present invention.
- the disclosure content of this patent application is made by reference to the subject matter of the present patent application asserted.
- the present invention relates to a metering device which comprises a metering pump according to the invention as described above and a storage container, the metering pump and storage container being connected to one another to form the metering device.
- the storage container and the metering pump can be connected to one another to form the metering device, for example by means of a snap lock, but also by means of a screw connection.
- the metering device can be designed as a metering device without pressure compensation or as a pressure-compensating metering device.
- the metering device 300 shown according to the invention has a metering pump 100 which is mounted on a storage container 200.
- the metering pump according to the invention consists of a cylindrical pump body 110, which has a lower section 111 and an upper section 112.
- An inner hollow cylinder 120 which can be connected to the pump body 110 via a snap lock, is attached to the lower section 111.
- the cylindrical pump body 110 and the inner hollow cylinder 120 have a concentric recess in which a hollow piston 105 with an inner hollow volume 106 can be moved up and down.
- An actuating body 130 is attached to the upper pump body section 112, which via a spring element 170 in the in Figure 1 position shown is held by a restoring force.
- the actuating body 130 has a recess 132 within which a liner 140 is fixed.
- the liner 140 also has a recess 141 which is designed to be open at the bottom.
- the liner also has a liquid channel 142 which is connected to the outlet 131 in the actuating body 130.
- the liquid channel 142 can lead fluid from the recess 141 of the liner 140 through its wall to the outlet 131.
- the liquid channel 142 is preferably designed as a recess in the outer wall of the liner 140. Fluid to be dispensed can exit to the outside from the metering device via the outlet 131 arranged at the top when the actuating body 130 is actuated.
- a nonreturn valve 150 is movably arranged within the recess 141 of the liner 140 and is pressed downward in the recess 141, for example by a return spring 160.
- the check valve 150 is in the rest position of the metering device by the spring 160 on the upper
- the end of the piston 105 is pushed open and thus closes the continuous recess 106 of the piston 105.
- the downwardly open hollow cylindrical pump body section 111 has an inlet valve, for example a disk valve 121, at its lower end.
- the piston 105 When the actuating body 130 is actuated, ie when the actuating body 130 is pressed in the direction of the cylindrical pump body 110, the piston 105 is thus also pressed downward.
- the volume enclosed by the lower end of the piston 105 in the inner hollow cylinder 120 (pump chamber 122) is minimized, so that the fluid enclosed therein flows through the channel 106 of the piston 105 upwards in the direction of the liner 140.
- the check valve 150 in the liner 140 is moved upwards, the flow channel 142 is released so that liquid can flow in the direction of the outlet 131 and flows out there.
- the spring 170 ensures a restoring force which acts on the actuation body 130 and moves it into its rest position as in FIG Figure 1 shown moved back.
- the piston 105 is also moved upwards, so that a negative pressure is formed in the pump chamber 122, ie in the volume formed by the piston 105 within the inner hollow cylinder.
- the inlet valve 121 Through the inlet valve 121, the volume of this pumping chamber is thus refilled by sucking up liquid stored in the storage container 200.
- the storage container 200 is connected to the pump body 110 in a sealing manner by means of a seal 180.
- the actuating body can be closed with a removable cap 190, so that the outlet 131 can be protected, for example, from soiling and / or drying out when not in use.
- the check valve 150 has sealing elements, for example sealing lips 151 and 152, which enable the check valve to be sealed off from the piston 105 and thus from the channel 106 of the piston 105.
- Figure 2 shows an embodiment of a check valve 150 which is arranged in the liner 140, as is known from the prior art.
- the liner 140 has a recess 141 that is open at the bottom and within which the check valve 150 is arranged.
- the liner 140 is seated on the piston 105, the check valve 150 is also intended to be flush with the upper edge of the piston 105.
- the check valve 150 is pressed against the upper edge of the piston 105 by a spring element 160.
- the check valve 150 does not have any sealing elements.
- FIG 2 a typical situation from practice is shown in which, for example, production errors and / or production-related distortion of some components, for example the piston 105 and / or the liner 140, lead to a defect X 1 at which the liner 140, for example, is not consistent and forms a positive fit with the piston 105.
- the non-return valve 150 guided therein is thus also not formed absolutely positively in the closed position with the upper end of the piston 105, so that the sealing function of the non-return valve is only inadmissible.
- a defect X 1 is thus formed, at which a satisfactory sealing function of the check valve 150 is not guaranteed.
- unwanted flows of liquid and / or gases caused by suction forces S can take place, which enable unwanted fluidic communication between outlet channel 142 and channel 106 of piston 105 when the metering pump or metering device is closed.
- FIG. 4 illustrated modified check valve 150 is used.
- the check valve is like in the Figures 2 3 and 3 and can for example have an inner recess 153 into which the spring element 160 engages.
- the two-dimensional image of the check valve 150 shown here is to be understood in such a way that the sealing lips represent concentric circles which can enclose the cylindrical recess of the piston 105 or can engage in it. The exact functioning of these sealing elements in the form of sealing lips is explained in more detail in the following figures.
- the sealing element (s) 151, 152 are designed normal to the bottom of the check valve 150.
- Figure 5 shows an embodiment of a metering pump or metering device according to the invention, which is based in principle on the design as in Figure 2 shown, leans on.
- the metering pump or metering device according to Figure 5 includes the metering pump or metering device according to Figure 5 however a like in Figure 4a described check valve 150.
- Figure 5 the open position of the metering pump is shown, the check valve 150 in the recess 141 of the liner 140 moving the check valve 150 upwards due to excess pressure of the liquid flowing from below through the recess 106 of the piston 105 (arrow A 1 ).
- the liquid channel 142 is released by the check valve 150, so that liquid can flow through the liquid channel 142 upwards in the direction of the outlet (arrow A 2 ).
- the check valve 150 has two sealing lips 151 and 152 formed on the base.
- the liner 140 is not ideally arranged on the piston 105, so that the same misalignment as in FIG Figure 2 indicated, results.
- the deviation of the axial alignment of the liner 140 from the axial alignment of the piston 105 is indicated by ⁇ .
- Figure 6 shows a position of the check valve 150 after the actuation process and thus the delivery of liquid by the metering pump ended.
- the return valve 150 is moved in the direction of the piston 105 by the resetting spring force F 1 of the spring 160.
- F 1 spring force
- Figure 8 illustrates the operation of an alternate embodiment of a check valve 150, as in FIG Figure 4b shown, described.
- Figure 8 represents an embodiment analogous to Figure 5
- the metering pump is also shown in the open state.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Dosierpumpe für eine Dosiervorrichtung, wobei die Dosierpumpe mit einem Vorratsbehältnis verbindbar ist. Die Dosierpumpe umfasst dabei ein Rückschlagventil, das bodenseitige Dichtelemente aufweist, die eine innere Abdichtung der Dosierpumpe ermöglichen. Zudem betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Dosiervorrichtung, bei der die erfindungsgemäße Dosierpumpe mit einem Vorratsbehältnis verbunden ist.The present invention relates to a metering pump for a metering device, the metering pump being connectable to a storage container. The metering pump comprises a non-return valve which has sealing elements on the bottom which enable the metering pump to be sealed internally. In addition, the present invention relates to a metering device in which the metering pump according to the invention is connected to a storage container.
Pumpen und Flaschen für konservierungsmittelfreie Formulierungen brauchen passgenaue flüssigkeits- oder luftdichte Ventile. Die Dichtigkeit derartiger Ventile beruht allerdings maßgeblich auf der Passgenauigkeit der Formteile, die entsprechenden Dosierpumpen zugrunde liegen. Mittlerweile werden prinzipiell alle nichtmetallischen Bestandteile von Dosierpumpen, insbesondere auch Ventile etc. aus Kostengründen mittels Spritzguss hergestellt. Ungenauigkeiten bei den Spritzgussarbeiten und beim Montageprozess verursachen allerdings Fehler bei der Passgenauigkeit der einzelnen Bauteile, insbesondere bei der horizontalen und/oder vertikalen Passgenauigkeit. Diese konstruktiv bedingten Fehler führen allerdings dazu, dass die entsprechenden Dosierpumpen in der Praxis eine mangelnde Dichtigkeit aufweisen können, so dass in den Dosierpumpen bzw. den Dosiervorrichtungen unbeabsichtigte fluidische Strömungen, beispielsweise eines abzugebenden Fluids, aber auch Gasen, stattfinden können.Pumps and bottles for preservative-free formulations need perfectly fitting liquid-tight or airtight valves. The tightness of such valves is, however, largely based on the accuracy of fit of the molded parts on which the corresponding metering pumps are based. In the meantime, in principle, all non-metallic components of metering pumps, especially valves etc., are manufactured by means of injection molding for reasons of cost. Cause inaccuracies in the injection molding work and in the assembly process however, errors in the accuracy of fit of the individual components, especially in the horizontal and / or vertical accuracy of fit. However, these design-related errors mean that the corresponding metering pumps may not be tight enough in practice, so that unintentional fluidic flows, for example of a fluid to be dispensed, but also gases, can occur in the metering pumps or the metering devices.
Um bei aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Dosiervorrichtungen dennoch eine hinreichende Dichtigkeit, insbesondere Luftdichtigkeit zu garantierten, sind die Ventilstrukturen eng und mit wenig Spiel montiert. Dies sowie die oben genannten Fehler in der Passgenauigkeit führt allerdings zu Schwergängigkeit der Pumpe. Zudem wird in der Regel eine starke Feder zum Ventilschluss verbaut, um ein inneres Abdichten durch Kraftschluss der Bauteile zu bewirken. Auch eine starke Feder kann eine weitere Ursache für eine schwergängige Bedienung sein. Problematisch hierbei ist weiterhin, dass die zuvor genannten Gründe häufig zum Verklemmen beweglicher Bauteile in derartigen Dosierpumpen führen können.In order to nevertheless guarantee adequate tightness, in particular air tightness, in the case of metering devices known from the prior art, the valve structures are fitted tightly and with little play. However, this and the above-mentioned errors in the accuracy of fit lead to sluggishness of the pump. In addition, a strong spring is usually installed to close the valve in order to achieve internal sealing by means of a force fit between the components. A strong spring can also be another cause of difficult operation. Another problem here is that the aforementioned reasons can often lead to the jamming of movable components in such metering pumps.

in which
the check valve has at least one sealing element which enables a fluidic sealing of the check valve with respect to the piston,
and wherein the at least one sealing element is arranged on the bottom of the check valve and is arranged at an angle of 5 to 175 ° with respect to the bottom of the check valve.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft somit eine Dosierpumpe, die zusammen montiert mit einem Vorratsbehältnis eine Dosiervorrichtung ergibt.The present invention thus relates to a metering pump which, when assembled together with a storage container, results in a metering device.
Die wesentlichen Bestandteile der Dosierpumpe sind dabei:
- ein zylindrischer Pumpenkörper. Der zylindrische Pumpenkörper ist dabei in zwei funktionelle Abschnitte unterteilt und weist einen ersten hohlzylindrischen Pumpenkörperabschnitt auf, der nach unten, in Richtung des anzubringenden Vorratsbehältnisses offen ausgestaltet ist. Zudem weist der zylindrische Pumpenkörper einen zweiten offenen hohlzylindrischen Pumpenkörperabschnitt auf, der nach oben, in Richtung eines anzubringenden bzw. angebrachten Betätigungskörpers offen ausgebildet ist.
- a cylindrical pump body. The cylindrical pump body is divided into two functional sections and has a first hollow cylindrical pump body section which is designed to be open at the bottom in the direction of the storage container to be attached. In addition, the cylindrical pump body has a second open hollow cylindrical pump body section which is designed to be open at the top, in the direction of an actuating body to be attached or attached.
Der zylindrische Pumpenkörper kann in seiner Mitte, d.h. zwischen den beiden Abschnitten ein Führungselement aufweisen, mit dem ein Kolben innerhalb des zylindrischen Pumpenkörpers führbar ist.
- Einen offenen inneren Hohlzylinder. Der offene innere Hohlzylinder ist am unteren, ersten Pumpenkörperabschnitt befestigt und mit diesem konzentrisch angeordnet. Die konzentrische Anordnung führt dazu, dass die zylindrische Aussparung des Pumpenkörpers und des Hohlzylinders axial zueinander angeordnet sind.
- Einen Kolben. Der Kolben ist dabei als Hohlkolben ausgebildet und weist einen durchgehenden Kanal auf. Der Kolben ist dabei derart dimensioniert, dass er konzentrisch in den Pumpenkörper und den am Pumpenkörper befestigten Hohlzylinder geführt werden kann. Der Kolben ist beweglich im Pumpenkörper und im Hohlzylinder angeordnet und dabei zumindest an seinem unteren Ende dichtend gegenüber der inneren Wandung des inneren Hohlzylinders ausgebildet. Aufgrund seiner Beweglichkeit kann dabei ein Hohlvolumen im inneren Hohlzylinder ausgebildet werden, das auch als "Pumpenkammer" bezeichnet werden kann.
- Ein Betätigungskörper. Der Betätigungskörper ist mit dem oberen Teil des hohlzylindrischen Pumpenkörpers, dem zweiten Pumpenkörperabschnitt, verbunden bzw. kann mit diesem verbunden werden. Der Betätigungskörper ist dabei gegenüber dem Pumpenkörper beweglich gelagert. Der Betätigungskörper weist dabei an seinem oberen Ende einen Auslass für Flüssigkeit auf. Innerhalb des Betätigungskörpers ist eine in Richtung des zweiten Pumpenkörperabschnitts offene Aussparung ausgebildet, in die ein Liner aufgenommen werden kann. Durch Bewegen, z.B. Drücken des Betätigungskörpers in Richtung des Pumpenkörpers kann dabei die Dosierpumpe zur Abgabe einer Flüssigkeit betätigt werden.
- Ein Liner. Der Liner ist dabei in der dafür vorgesehenen Aussparung des Pumpenkörpers aufgenommen. Der Liner weist dabei seinerseits eine Aussparung auf, in die ein Rückschlagventil aufgenommen werden kann. Zudem weist der Liner einen Flüssigkeitskanal auf, über den Flüssigkeit aus der Aussparung des Liners zum Auslass am Betätigungskörper geführt werden kann. Der Flüssigkeitskanal ist dabei bevorzugt von der Aussparung durch die Wandung des Liners durchgeführt und verläuft entlang der äußeren Oberfläche des Liners in Richtung des Auslasses. Der Liner ist dabei fluidisch dichtend zum Kolben angeordnet, indem er mit seinem unteren Ende beispielsweise auf dem oberen Ende des Hohlkolbens aufsitzt und dort (z.B. konstruktionsbedingt durch entsprechende Bemessung der Aussparung des Betätigungskörpers und des Liners) in Position gehalten wird.
- Ein Rückschlagventil. Innerhalb der Aussparung des Liners ist ein beweglich gelagertes und gegenüber der Aussparung des Liners fluidisch abdichtend ausgebildetes Rückschlagventil angeordnet. Das Rückschlagventil kann sich dabei innerhalb der Aussparung derart betätigen, dass in unbetätigtem Zustand der Kanal vom Rückschlagventil fluidisch abgedichtet wird, während des Betätigens durch den Flüssigkeitsstrom das Rückschlagventil derart aus seiner Ruheposition ausgelenkt wird, dass der Kanal des Liners freigegeben wird und Flüssigkeit vom Vorratsbehältnis durch den Kanal des Kolbens in Richtung Auslassöffnung im Betätigungskörper fließen kann.
- An open inner hollow cylinder. The open inner hollow cylinder is attached to the lower, first pump body section and arranged concentrically therewith. The concentric arrangement means that the cylindrical recess of the pump body and the hollow cylinder are arranged axially to one another.
- A piston. The piston is designed as a hollow piston and has a continuous channel. The piston is dimensioned in such a way that it can be guided concentrically into the pump body and the hollow cylinder attached to the pump body. The piston is movably arranged in the pump body and in the hollow cylinder and at least at its lower end is designed to seal against the inner wall of the inner hollow cylinder. Because of its mobility, a hollow volume can be formed in the inner hollow cylinder, which can also be referred to as a "pump chamber".
- An actuator body. The actuating body is connected to the upper part of the hollow cylindrical pump body, the second pump body section, connected or can be connected to this. The actuating body is movably supported with respect to the pump body. The actuating body has an outlet for liquid at its upper end. A recess, which is open in the direction of the second pump body section and into which a liner can be received, is formed inside the actuating body. By moving, for example, pressing the actuating body in the direction of the pump body, the metering pump can be actuated to dispense a liquid.
- A liner. The liner is received in the recess provided for this in the pump body. The liner itself has a recess in which a check valve can be received. In addition, the liner has a liquid channel via which liquid can be guided from the recess in the liner to the outlet on the actuating body. The liquid channel is preferably passed through the wall of the liner from the recess and runs along the outer surface of the liner in the direction of the outlet. The liner is arranged in a fluidically sealing manner to the piston by sitting with its lower end, for example, on the upper end of the hollow piston and holding it in position there (e.g. due to the design by appropriately dimensioning the recess of the actuating body and the liner).
- A check valve. A movably mounted non-return valve which is embodied in a fluidically sealing manner with respect to the recess of the liner is arranged within the recess of the liner. The non-return valve can operate within the recess in such a way that in the non-actuated state the channel is fluidically sealed by the non-return valve, while the non-return valve is deflected from its rest position during operation by the flow of liquid in such a way that the channel of the liner is released and liquid from the storage container flows through the channel of the piston can flow in the direction of the outlet opening in the actuating body.
Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass bodenseitig am Rückschlagventil mindestens ein Dichtelement angeordnet ist, das ein fluidisches Abdichten des Rückschlagventils gegenüber dem Kolben ermöglicht.The invention is characterized in that at least one sealing element is arranged on the bottom of the check valve, which sealing element enables the check valve to be fluidically sealed off from the piston.
Das Rückschlagventil ermöglicht somit eine zusätzliche bzw. besonders effiziente Abdichtung des Kolbens, und insbesondere des Hohlvolumens des Kolbens gegenüber der Aussparung des Liners. Durch diese zusätzliche Abdichtung können von der Produktion herrührende Fertigungsfehler ausgeglichen werden, so dass auch bei nicht idealer geometrischer Ausgestaltung bzw. Anordnung sämtlicher Bestandteile der Dosierpumpe eine effiziente Abdichtung des inneren Strömungsweges der zu dosierenden Flüssigkeit und/oder Gasen gewährleistet ist.The check valve thus enables an additional or particularly efficient sealing of the piston, and in particular of the hollow volume of the piston with respect to the recess in the liner. This additional seal can compensate for manufacturing errors resulting from production, so that efficient sealing of the inner flow path of the liquid and / or gases to be metered is guaranteed even if the geometric design or arrangement of all components of the metering pump is not ideal.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist hierbei, dass das Rückschlagventil durch eine durch den Kanal des Kolbens auf das Rückschlagventil nach Beendigung des Betätigungsvorgangs auf das Rückschlagventil wirkende Absaugkraft über das mindestens eine Dichteelement das fluidische Abdichten ermöglicht. Das Abdichten erfolgt damit sobald das Dichteelement Kontakt mit der Wandung bzw. dem Hals des Kolbens hergestellt hat. Durch den Hubvorgang des Kolbens nach Beendigung des Betätigungsvorgangs der Dosierpumpe wird dabei Flüssigkeit aus dem Vorratsbehältnis in die Pumpenkammer nachgesaugt. Durch den Hubvorgang des Kolbens entsteht dabei innerhalb des Kanals des Kolbens wie auch in der Pumpenkammer ein Unterdruck, durch den das Nachsaugen von Flüssigkeit aus dem Vorratsbehältnis ermöglicht ist. Andererseits wird dieser Unterdruck auch auf das Rückschlagventil (die sogenannte "Absaugkraft"), das dadurch an den Kolben angesaugt wird. Insbesondere bei flexibler bzw. elastischer Ausbildung der Dichtelemente, wie beispielsweise in Form von Dichtlippen ist dadurch ein verbessertes Abdichten möglich.It is particularly advantageous here that the check valve enables the fluidic sealing via the at least one sealing element by a suction force acting on the check valve through the channel of the piston on the check valve after the actuation process has ended. Sealing takes place as soon as the sealing element has made contact with the wall or the neck of the piston. When the piston is lifted after the metering pump has been actuated, liquid is sucked in from the storage container into the pump chamber. The lifting process of the piston creates a negative pressure within the channel of the piston as well as in the pump chamber, which enables liquid to be sucked in from the storage container. On the other hand, this negative pressure is also applied to the non-return valve (the so-called "suction force"), which is thereby drawn into the piston. In particular, if the sealing elements are designed to be flexible or elastic, for example in the form of sealing lips, this enables improved sealing.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht somit vor, dass das Dichtelement elastisch ausgebildet ist.A preferred embodiment thus provides that the sealing element is designed to be elastic.
Insbesondere von Vorteil ist es, wenn das mindestens eine Dichtelement als Dichtlippe, insbesondere als konzentrisch den Kanal des Kolbens einfassende oder partiell in den Kanal einführbare Dichtlippe ausgebildet ist.It is particularly advantageous if the at least one sealing element is designed as a sealing lip, in particular as a sealing lip that surrounds the channel of the piston concentrically or that can be partially introduced into the channel.
Ferner ist es von Vorteil, wenn in unbetätigtem Zustand der Dosierpumpe das mindestens eine Dichtelement formschlüssig mit der Wandung des Kolbens abschließt und/oder in den Kanal des Kolbens eingreift.It is also advantageous if, when the metering pump is not actuated, the at least one sealing element closes with the wall of the piston in a form-fitting manner and / or engages in the channel of the piston.
Weiter bevorzugt ist, das mindestens eine Dichtelement an das Rückschlagventil einstückig mit dem Rückschlagventil ausgebildet oder an das Rückschlagventil angespritzt ist. Eine einstückige Ausbildung kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass das komplette Rückschlagventil inklusive zugehörigem Dichtelement, wie beispielsweise Dichtlippe in einem Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt wird. Bei dieser Ausführungsformen ist das Dichtelement und das Rückschlagventil bevorzugt aus den gleichen Materialien gebildet. Andererseits kann es ebenso möglich sein, ein oder mehrere Dichtelemente an das Rückschlagventil anzuspritzen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform kann es gegeben sein, das Dichtelement und Rückschlagventil aus unterschiedlichen Materialkammern, aber auch aus den gleichen Materialien gebildet sind.It is further preferred that the at least one sealing element on the check valve is formed in one piece with the check valve or is molded onto the check valve. A one-piece design can be achieved, for example, in that the complete check valve, including the associated sealing element, such as, for example, sealing lip, is manufactured in an injection molding process. In these embodiments, the sealing element and the check valve are preferably formed from the same materials. On the other hand, it can also be possible to inject one or more sealing elements onto the check valve. In this embodiment, the sealing element and check valve can be formed from different material chambers, but also from the same materials.
Das mindestens eine Dichtelement kann eine in Richtung des Kolbens ausgeprägte Höhe von 0,3 bis 5,0 mm, bevorzugt von 0,5 bis 2,0 mm und/oder Dicke bzw. Breite von 0,05 bis 3,0 mm, bevorzugt von 0,1 bis 1,5 mm aufweisen.The at least one sealing element can have a height of 0.3 to 5.0 mm, preferably 0.5 to 2.0 mm, and / or a thickness or width of 0.05 to 3.0 mm, which is pronounced in the direction of the piston from 0.1 to 1.5 mm.
Eine weiter bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass das mindestens eine Dichtelement (151, 152) bodenseitig am Rückschlagventil (150) angeordnet ist und bezüglich des Bodens des Rückschlagventils (150) in einem Winkel von 5 bis 175°, bevorzugt 45 bis 135°, weiter bevorzugt 80 bis 100°, insbesondere 90° angeordnet ist.A further preferred embodiment provides that the at least one sealing element (151, 152) is arranged on the bottom of the check valve (150) and further at an angle of 5 to 175 °, preferably 45 to 135 °, with respect to the bottom of the check valve (150) is arranged preferably 80 to 100 °, in particular 90 °.
Von Vorteil ist es ferner, wenn das mindestens eine Dichtelement aus einem thermoplastischen Material, insbesondere aus einem Polyolefin, wie z.B. Polyethylen, Polypropylen, Polystyrol, aus einem elastomeren Material, insbesondere Gummi oder Kautschuk, oder aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomeren, insbesondere TPE-U, gebildet ist.It is also advantageous if the at least one sealing element is made of a thermoplastic material, in particular a polyolefin, such as e.g. Polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, is formed from an elastomeric material, in particular rubber or rubber, or from a thermoplastic elastomer, in particular TPE-U.
Hierbei kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das mindestens eine Dichtelement aus demselben Material wie das Rückschlagventil ausgebildet ist.Here it can be provided that the at least one sealing element is made from the same material as the check valve.
Bevorzugt wird das Rückschlagventil durch ein elastisches Element, das eine in Richtung des Kolbens wirkende Rückstellkraft auf das Rückschlagventil ausübt, insbesondere eine Feder, im nicht betätigtem Zustand in einer gegenüber dem Kanal des Kolbens sowie den Flüssigkeitskanal des Liners fluidisch abdichtenden Position gehalten wird.The check valve is preferably provided by an elastic element which exerts a restoring force acting in the direction of the piston on the check valve, in particular a spring, in the opposite position in the non-actuated state the channel of the piston and the fluid channel of the liner is held in a fluidically sealing position.
Zudem ist es möglich, dass zwischen Betätigungskörper und Pumpenkörper ein Element angeordnet ist, das auf den Betätigungskörper während und/oder nach Betätigen eine Rückstellkraft ausübt, insbesondere ein Federelement.In addition, it is possible for an element to be arranged between the actuation body and the pump body which exerts a restoring force on the actuation body during and / or after actuation, in particular a spring element.
Der erste Pumpenkörperabschnitt kann eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung des Vorratsbehältnisses aufweisen. Diese Vorrichtung kann beispielsweise als Schnappverschluss oder aber als Schraubverschluss ausgebildet sein. In diesem Fall weisen sowohl das Vorratsbehältnis, als auch der erste Pumpenkörperabschnitt entsprechende Elemente zur entsprechenden Befestigung des Vorratsbehältnisses auf.The first pump body section can have a device for fastening the storage container. This device can be designed, for example, as a snap lock or as a screw lock. In this case, both the storage container and the first pump body section have corresponding elements for the corresponding attachment of the storage container.
Zudem ist es von Vorteil, wenn im Bereich des ersten Pumpenkörperabschnitts eine Dichtung angeordnet ist, die das Vorratsbehältnis gegenüber der Dosierpumpe abdichtet. Die Dichtung kann z.B. in einer dafür vorgesehenen Aussparung des ersten Pumpenkörperabschnitts angeordnet sein.In addition, it is advantageous if a seal is arranged in the area of the first pump body section, which seals the storage container against the metering pump. The seal can e.g. be arranged in a recess provided for this purpose in the first pump body section.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass der innere Hohlzylinder an seinem in Richtung des Vorratsbehältnisses offenen Ende einen Ventilabschnitt aufweist, in dem ein Einlassventil, das insbesondere als Scheibenventil oder als Kugelventil ausgebildet ist, angeordnet ist.Another preferred embodiment provides that the inner hollow cylinder has, at its end open in the direction of the storage container, a valve section in which an inlet valve, which is designed in particular as a disc valve or as a ball valve, is arranged.
Von Vorteil ist ferner, dass am in Richtung des Vorratsbehältnisses offenen Ende des inneren Hohlzylinders ein Steigrohr angeordnet ist. Das Steigrohr kann dabei so bemessen sein, dass es bis zum Boden eines an die Dosierpumpe befestigten Vorratsbehältnisses reicht.It is also advantageous that a riser pipe is arranged at the end of the inner hollow cylinder that is open in the direction of the storage container. The riser pipe can be dimensioned such that it extends to the bottom of a storage container attached to the metering pump.
Zwischen der Außenseite des Kolbens und der Innenseite des zweiten Pumpenkörperabschnitts kann am Inneren des zweiten Pumpenkörperabschnitts ein Dichtelement zur Abdichtung des Kolbens angeordnet sein. Eine derartige Dichtung ist im Detail
Zudem betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Dosiervorrichtung, die eine zuvor beschriebene erfindungsgemäße Dosierpumpe sowie ein Vorratsbehältnis umfasst, wobei Dosierpumpe und Vorratsbehältnis miteinander zur Dosiervorrichtung verbunden sind.In addition, the present invention relates to a metering device which comprises a metering pump according to the invention as described above and a storage container, the metering pump and storage container being connected to one another to form the metering device.
Vorratsbehältnis und Dosierpumpe können dabei beispielsweise mittels eines Schnappverschlusses, aber auch mittels einer Schraubverbindung miteinander zur Dosiervorrichtung verbunden sein.The storage container and the metering pump can be connected to one another to form the metering device, for example by means of a snap lock, but also by means of a screw connection.
Insbesondere kann die Dosiervorrichtung als druckausgleichslose Dosiervorrichtung oder als druckausgleichende Dosiervorrichtung ausgebildet sein.In particular, the metering device can be designed as a metering device without pressure compensation or as a pressure-compensating metering device.
