Definitions

  • the invention relates to a discharge head for a liquid dispenser and a liquid dispenser with such a discharge head. It is preferably a discharge head or a liquid dispenser for dispensing cosmetic or pharmaceutical liquids in the form of drops.
  • Generic liquid dispensers and their discharge heads are usually designed to dispense liquid that is supplied in a predetermined liquid flow area and / or pressure area in the desired form, for example in the form of individual drops. If the liquid dispenser is supplied with liquid that is conveyed directly by the user, however, a precisely defined feed pressure or feed liquid flow cannot be guaranteed. For example, a user can squeeze a squeeze bottle much more strongly than intended.
  • a throttle device is therefore provided in the outlet channel, i.e. a section within which, for example, tight orifices cause sufficiently high friction in the liquid and between the liquid and walls to sufficiently reduce excessively high liquid pressure.
  • this plays a major role, since only such a throttling can ensure that the pressurization of the liquid by the user does not cause a discharge jet instead of drops.
  • such a throttle device is also problematic in some respects.
  • it can undesirably prevent liquid from the outlet channel from being sucked back into the liquid reservoir by the negative pressure created in the liquid reservoir after the discharge process has ended.
  • the differential pressure between the liquid reservoir and an environment during discharge can be significantly above 1 bar
  • the principle of the negative pressure for sucking back liquid from the outlet channel into the liquid reservoir can never be more than 1 bar. In practice it is considerably lower.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to develop a generic discharge head in such a way that it allows a throttled discharge of liquid, in particular in the form of drops, and yet reliably enables emptying or partial emptying of the outlet channel in the direction of the liquid reservoir after completion of the discharge process.
  • a discharge head which has a housing and a coupling device for attachment to a liquid reservoir. Furthermore, the discharge head has a discharge opening through which liquid can be discharged into a surrounding atmosphere, and an outlet channel which extends from an inlet area pointing in the direction of the liquid reservoir to the discharge opening and by means of which the discharge opening can be supplied with liquid.
  • the discharge head has a throttle device with a throttle channel for reducing the liquid pressure and / or the liquid flow of the liquid flowing through the throttle device.
  • the throttle device is designed as a switchable throttle device in which a minimum free cross section of the throttle channel can be changed between a throttling state and a release state.
  • the design according to the invention thus provides that the throttle device performs greater throttling during the discharge of liquid, i.e. withdraws a higher proportion of the energy given by excess pressure in the liquid reservoir from the liquid than is the case after the discharge has ended when the liquid is subsequently sucked back.
  • the change between the throttling state with strong throttling and the release state with only slight throttling preferably takes place automatically, so that the user does not need to take any further measures beyond his normal handling steps for a liquid dispenser.
  • One possibility for designing a switchable throttle device is to provide an elastically deformable wall section in the throttle device, which is displaced by a pressure difference or associated operating parameters and thus has a throttling effect on the throttle channel to different degrees.
  • the throttle device has a throttle body that can be displaced in the throttle channel between a release position and a throttle position.
  • This throttle body is preferably an inherently rigid body which is usually made of a plastic customary in the dispenser area and which, depending on its position, influences the flow resistance caused by the throttle device.
  • a shape of such a throttle body which is advantageous because there is no need for orientation is that of the spherical throttle body.
  • the throttle body In relation to an upright position of the discharge head, the throttle body is preferably arranged at different heights in its release position and in its throttle position.
  • the throttle body is freely movable between the release position and the throttle position in such a way that it assumes the release position due to gravity in one case and the throttle position due to gravity in the upright position on the one hand and in an opposite overhead position on the other.
  • the throttle body changes its position within the throttle channel due to gravity or at least also due to gravity. If the liquid dispenser and with it the discharge head are in an upright position, in which the discharge opening usually points upwards and a bottom of the liquid reservoir for placing the dispenser down, the throttle body falls to its lowest possible position, which also represents its release position. It can thus greatly reduce the flow resistance for the liquid flowing back out of the outlet channel. If the dispenser and the discharge head are in an overhead position, in which the bottom of the liquid reservoir points upwards and / or the discharge opening points downwards, the throttle body falls in the opposite direction into its lowest possible position, which with this orientation of the dispenser the Throttle position is. Here, the throttle body increases the flow resistance by leaving only a smaller partial cross-section of the throttle channel free for the flow of exiting liquid.
  • the throttle body does not float, it preferably has a higher density than the liquid held in the liquid reservoir.
  • the throttle body can also be arranged in the throttle channel in such a way that it is displaced in the direction of its throttle position by the liquid flowing out through the throttle device and / or that it is displaced in the direction of its release position by the liquid flowing in through the throttle device.
  • the throttle body is arranged in such a way that it is automatically entrained by the flow of liquid pointing in one or the other direction and thereby assumes its end position, the throttle position or the release position.
  • the throttle body is particularly preferably displaceable between a throttle position and a release position, which are spaced apart from one another in the direction of flow of the liquid.
  • the discharge head is preferably designed in such a way that the displacement of the throttle body can be changed both as a result of gravitation and as a result of the flow. This ensures that the throttle body assumes the throttle position when liquid is discharged and the release position when liquid is sucked back.
  • the weight force and the liquid pressure move the throttle body in the same direction.
  • the throttle channel which is in particular preferably designed as an elongated channel, preferably has an inflow opening and an outflow opening at the end and preferably at the two opposite end faces.
  • the throttle body is arranged both in a release position and in its throttle position between this inflow opening and this outflow opening.
  • the throttle channel preferably has at least one side opening, in particular in a jacket region of a cylindrical outer wall of the throttle channel, the throttle body being arranged between the side opening and the outflow opening when in the throttle position and the throttle body arrangement not being between the side opening and the outflow opening in the release position Outflow opening is arranged.
  • This design accordingly provides that the liquid path of the liquid from the liquid reservoir is divided into two branches up to the outflow opening of the throttle channel pointing in the discharge direction during discharge.
  • liquid can penetrate into the throttle channel through the inflow opening, in particular preferably at the front.
  • it can penetrate into the throttle channel through the at least one side opening described.
  • the throttle device has an elastically deflectable spring device, by means of which the throttle body is acted upon by force in the direction of its release position or in the direction of its throttle position.
  • Said spring device can act either in the direction of the throttle position or in the direction of the release position. If it acts in the direction of the throttle position, it is ensured to a particularly high degree that the throttle body assumes the throttle position particularly reliably after liquid has been sucked back into the liquid reservoir. In particular, this is advantageous because it prevents, when the liquid dispenser is operated, a short period of time until the throttle body has assumed its throttling position and during which liquid can escape in an unthrottled manner.
  • the spring device can in particular be designed as a plastic spring, preferably as a helical spring made of plastic. Furthermore, the spring device can be designed in one piece with the throttle body.
  • the throttle channel can preferably be delimited on the outside by an outer wall, in particular in an elongated and cylindrical, preferably circular-cylindrical, shape. If one or more of the above-mentioned side openings are provided, these preferably break through the jacket-like outer wall.
  • the throttle body is arranged within the throttle channel, the throttle body and the outer wall of the throttle channel having corresponding stop surfaces by which the throttle body is secured in the throttle channel.
  • the outer wall delimits the throttle channel to the outside and is preferably perforated at the end opposite one another by the outflow opening and the inflow opening.
  • the throttle body is preferably secured in a form-fitting manner within the throttle channel by the stop surfaces.
  • a lead-in bevel is preferably assigned to each of the stop surfaces so that the throttle body can be pressed into the throttle channel with deflection of the stop surfaces during assembly, but is then reliably protected against slipping out.
  • the outer wall of the throttle channel can in particular have a plurality of deflectable webs extending in a longitudinal direction of the throttle channel, preferably three or four webs, at the end of which the stop surfaces for the throttle body are provided.
  • the use of a plurality of webs means that the throttle body is reliably guided in the throttle channel.
  • the areas between the webs serve as side openings in the sense described above.
  • isolated webs also means that they can be deflected independently of one another, so that a design in such a way that the throttle body can be introduced into the throttle channel with deformation of the webs is comparatively easy.
  • An outlet valve is preferably provided in the outlet channel, which closes when there is a slight pressure difference, but opens bidirectionally when there is sufficient overpressure or underpressure in the liquid reservoir, so that it not only allows discharge when there is sufficient overpressure, but also does not prevent liquid from being sucked back into the liquid reservoir.
  • a discharge head according to the invention is provided to allow the liquid reservoir to be ventilated via the outlet channel.
  • the liquid dispenser encompassed by the invention for dispensing liquid in particular for dispensing cosmetic or pharmaceutical liquids, has a discharge head of the type described above with a discharge opening for dispensing liquid into a surrounding atmosphere. It also has a liquid reservoir which is connected to a housing of the discharge head by a releasable coupling device or a one-piece design.
  • the liquid dispenser is preferably designed as a drop dispenser.
  • the liquid reservoir can in particular be a squeeze bottle or a tube.
  • the internal volume of a liquid reservoir for a liquid dispenser according to the invention is preferably less than 300 ml, preferably less than 100 ml, in particular preferably less than 50 ml.
  • the liquid reservoir is preferably filled with a cosmetic or pharmaceutical liquid in accordance with the intended use.
  • Fig. 1 shows a liquid dispenser 100 according to the invention.
  • This has, as a main component, a liquid reservoir 90 in the form of a squeeze bottle which, as intended, is subjected to force in the area of actuating surfaces 92 for the purpose of discharge.
  • a discharge head 10 the housing 20 of which consists of two components 22 and 26, is placed on the liquid reservoir 90.
  • the component 26 is an applicator tip, at the distal end of which a discharge opening 38 is provided, which is surrounded by a drop formation surface 26A in the form of a spherical cap.
  • a cap 110 is provided in order to secure the liquid dispenser against drying out.
  • Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of the liquid dispenser 100 in a sectional view.
  • the dispenser has the named liquid reservoir 90, to which the housing 20 with the base component 22 and the applicator component 26 is attached.
  • the base component 22 has a coupling device 24.
  • a one-piece design would also be conceivable.
  • a one-piece valve component of an outlet valve 36 is clamped with its edge region between the base component 22 and the applicator component 26.
  • This valve component is provided in an outlet channel 30, which extends from an inlet area 32 on the liquid storage side through a throttle device 34 and the said outlet valve 36 to the discharge opening 38.
  • Said throttle device 34 is designed to throttle the discharge of liquid sufficiently in such a way that the discharge of a continuous jet is prevented and the desired drop discharge takes place instead. When sucking back, however, there should be no or less throttling so that the liquid can return as completely as possible to the liquid reservoir 90.
  • the throttle device 34 of the first embodiment of the Figures 2 to 3C consists of only two components, namely an outer wall 51, which is approximately cylindrical and surrounds a throttle channel 50, and a throttle body 52 arranged in the throttle channel 50, which is designed as a spherical body in the case of this embodiment.
  • FIG. 3A shows an initial state.
  • the throttle body 52 at the distal end of the throttle channel 50 rests on stop surfaces 51B which are formed on the inside of the outer wall 51 at the distal end. Insertion bevels 51C are provided opposite these stop faces 51B, which have made it possible to introduce the throttle body 52 into the throttle channel 50 with the deflection of three outer wall webs 51A of the outer wall 51 during assembly.
  • the dispenser At the end of the discharge process, the dispenser will return to its upright position Fig. 2 spent.
  • the throttle body 52 now falls back to the distal end of the Throttle channel 50 in the area of the inflow opening 50A, so that liquid from the outlet channel is sucked back into the liquid reservoir 90 without problems due to the negative pressure in the latter.
  • the liquid flowing back supports this displacement of the throttle body 52.
  • the spherical throttle body 52 still takes up the same space in the constant cross section of the throttle channel 50.
  • the liquid flowing back can now get back into the liquid reservoir 90 through side openings 50C, which are provided between the deflectable outer wall webs 51A, with only slight throttling.
  • the outer wall 61 of the throttle device 34 is designed here very similarly to the previous variant. It in turn has outer wall webs 61A that are spaced apart from one another and extend in the longitudinal direction, with stop surfaces 61B at the end and insertion bevels 61C. As a result, a throttle body 62 is secured in the throttle channel 60.
  • the throttle body 62 is designed as a disk-shaped throttle body and is also integrally connected to a spring device 64 in the form of a plastic helical spring, on the side of which is opposite the throttle body 62 an abutment disk 65 is provided.
  • the throttle body 62 In the overhead position during discharge, as in Figure 5B is shown, the throttle body 62 is pressed against the proximal end of the throttle channel 60 and thereby blocks the major part of the outflow opening 60B.
  • the liquid can therefore only reach the discharge opening 38 in a strongly restricted form and is thus reliably discharged here in the form of drops.
  • the throttle body 62 is, however, when liquid is sucked back out of the outlet channel 30 through the liquid in the in Figure 5C illustrated way deflected, so that the throttling effect is significantly reduced. A large part of the liquid can thus be reliably drawn out of the outlet channel 30 through the throttle device 34 back into the liquid reservoir 90. In this case, it leaves the throttle device through the side openings 60C, since an inflow opening on the end face is permanently closed by the abutment disk 65 in this variant. However, this could also be designed with an opening in order to facilitate the exchange of liquid between the throttle channel 60 and the liquid reservoir 90.
  • the throttle device 34 likewise has a throttle channel 70 which extends from an inflow opening 70A to an outflow opening 70B.
  • a throttle body 72 is again provided, which as in the Figures 8A to 8C can be seen, which can be displaced relative to the housing 20 and the outer wall 71 by means of sliding sleeves.
  • a conical surface 71D is provided on the inside of the outer wall 71, which is interrupted in the area of three recesses 71E.
  • the throttle body 72 which is likewise partially conical in shape, is, as in the exemplary embodiment, in FIG Fig. 4 and 5 by a spring device 74, in this case preferably designed as a metallic helical spring, in the direction of its release position, shown in FIG Figure 8A , subjected to force.
  • a spring device 74 in this case preferably designed as a metallic helical spring, in the direction of its release position, shown in FIG Figure 8A , subjected to force.
  • the throttle body 72 is returned to its position by the spring device 74 Figures 8A and 8C pressed so that, as shown by the dotted lines, the liquid can be sucked from the outlet channel back into the liquid reservoir with only little flow resistance.
