Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pump head with a specially designed elastic valve, which enables a secure closure of the pump head.
- the valve ensures that the pump head is securely closed.
- the present invention relates to a Dosiervorrich device, which can be designed for example as a squeeze bottle, as a non-airless system or as an airless system, the metering device comprising a pump head according to the invention.
- Dosing systems are known from the prior art, such as squeeze bottles, non-airless systems or airless systems. These systems are characterized by a portionwise metering of the fluid to be dispensed or by continuous dispensing of fluid when an appropriate pressure is applied to the metering device.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a pump head which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above.
- the pump head should be reliable close sig sealing; Easy opening, even after the pump head has been standing for a long time, and reliable sealing of the storage vessel with respect to the storage vessel or the pump head from the external environment should be ensured.
- the pump head should have a sufficiently simple mechanical operability, so that strong springs and the associated large operating forces can be largely avoided.
- a pump head according to the invention should have a lower tendency to jam.
- the present invention thus relates to a pump head for a Dosiervor device for metered delivery of a fluid, comprising
- the head part having an inner surface
- an elastic valve which has a surface facing the inner surface of the head part, at least one sealing lip being formed around the outlet opening, a first component (“liner”) having a passage opening for the fluid to be dispensed, Via which an inflow of the fluid between the head part and the elastic valve while deforming the elastic valve and / or the at least one sealing lip and forming a space between the at least one sealing lip and head part is possible (actuation state), the head part and the first component being shaped and are non-positively connected, including the elastic valve, between the head part and the first component.
- the at least one sealing lip of the elastic valve is pressed all around the outlet opening on the inner surface of the head part and thus seals the intermediate space from the surroundings.
- the pump head according to the present invention thus comprises an intermediate a head part and a (first) component enclosed elastic valve, which has at least one, preferably several sealing lips on its surface facing the head part.
- the sealing lips protrude from the surface of the elastic valve facing the head part.
- the intermediate space is formed here in that the at least one sealing lip, which is in contact with the inner surface of the head part in the storage state, e.g. displaced by escaping fluid and the fluid thus forms a gap or space between the elastic valve and the inner upper surface.
- the fluid can then flow through the gap formed between the valve and the inner surface in the direction of the outlet opening.
- the contact pressure of the valve on the head part is also increased.
- the contact pressure of the sealing lips is maximized due to the minimized contact surface of the valve on the head part compared to a full-surface contact of a valve head on the inner surface of the head part.
- the elastic valve thus enables a particularly efficient sealing of the outlet opening from the surroundings. This seal can compensate for manufacturing defects resulting from production, so that even with a non-ideal geometric design or arrangement of all components of the pump head, an efficient sealing of the inner flow path of the liquid and / or gases to be metered is ensured.
- the pump head according to the present invention thus ensures even after a long period of standing - and if necessary a drying of the fluid to be dispensed, which could still be present in the gap between the valve and head part - a complete function of the pump head with an improved sealing function.
- the head part and the elastic valve with sealing lips are thus coordinated with one another. Due to the fact that the elastic valve is designed to be elastic at least in some areas, the valve can deform during the metering process and open a gap or intermediate space through which the fluid can flow in the direction of the outlet opening.
- the wall of the elastic valve is elastic, whereas the head can be rigid or just as flexible and is therefore directly adapted to the nature of the inner surface of the head part. This ensures a secure grip of the head of the elastic valve with the sealing lips in the inner surface of the head part in the region of the outlet opening.
- the elastic wall at least has a predetermined kink at which the elastic wall leads or kinks in the case of the bearing in the actuation state.

- This angle Q ensures that the first lip experiences a tangential pressure when the valve is pressed against the head part and, if necessary, deforms and conforms to the wall of the head part.
- the contact area of the lip on the wall is enlarged, so that the sealing effect is increased. It can also be reduced by the contact pressure of the valve on the wall of the head part, without this affecting the sealing effect.
- the usability of the pump head is thus also improved.

- the notch on the outer surface of the first construction is partly horizontally and / or vertically.
- the angle which the passage opening includes with a point of re-passage through the side wall of the first component and a center point of the first component is from 10 to 350 °, preferably from 90 to 270 °.
- an element is arranged between the elastic valve and the first component, which effects a restoring force on the elastic valve, the restoring force causing the space formed in the actuating state to be closed while returning to the storage state.

- FIG. 1 shows an elastic valve 20 in cross section, which is used in an inventive pump head (not shown in Figure 1).
- the elastic valve 20 has a head 21a and an elastic wall 21b.
- the elastic wall 21b is in the form of a staircase and has horizontal and vertical regions which form the staircase.
- a predetermined kink 24 is formed where a vertical and horizontal section of the elastic wall 21b converge.
- the thickness of the vertical migration (reference symbol V) is larger than the thickness of the horizontal migration (reference symbol H).
- the head of the wall has an outer surface 22 on which, in the exemplary case of the valve 20 according to FIG. 1, four concentrically arranged sealing lips L are attached. The sealing lips L protrude from the surface 22 of the head 21a of the elastic valve 20.
- the surface 22 can also have a valve head element 25 which can engage in the outlet opening 11 of the head part (not shown in FIG. 1).
- the element serves to reduce the residual volume in the outlet area.

Below the wall 42 of the component 40, a component 60 is inserted, which can be positively connected to the component 40. A space 40-60 results between component 60 and component 40.
- the component 40 has a passage opening 41 which, in the exemplary case shown in FIG.
- the passage opening 41 is made through the wall 44 of the component 40 in the lower part of the component 40 (at the level of the intermediate space 40-60) and there is guided in a notch or groove (not shown) on the outer surface of the component 40 horizontally around the component 40.
- the notch communicates with a channel (not shown in FIG. 3) leading upwards, through which the fluid can be guided in the direction of the valve 20 or the head part 10.
- the guided on the surface of the component 40 channel is limited by the plugged head 10 be and completed.
- the component 60 designed for connection to a storage bottle II has a through channel 61 for fluid to be dispensed.
- the component 60 is inserted into the component 40 to such an extent that the wall 62 does not end directly with the wall 42 of the component 40, but an intermediate area 40-60 is retained (see also FIG. 4).
- a bacteria-filtering material 50 is attached between component 40 and component 60, via which an air exchange of the inner region of the pump head with the surroundings is possible.
- the bacterial filter 50 has a through channel 51 which is arranged in cover with the through opening 41 of the component 40.
- a fluid to be metered can thus flow through the passage channel 61 of the component 60, further through the passage channel 51 of the bacterial filter 50 (it runs horizontally in the upper region of the bacterial filtering) and further through the passage opening 41 of the component 40 and over the (not shown) Notch on the outer surface of the component 40 are fed to the upward channel (not shown).

- the same reference numerals were used as shown in Figure 3.
- the squeeze bottle II is not shown completely. It also consists of an elastic material and can be actuated by pressing the side walls. For dosing, the dosing device is held upside down so that the fluid can enter the through-channel 61. When pressure is applied to the squeeze bottle II, the fluid is pressed into the pump head I.
- FIG 4 is with the arrow X, through the passage channel 61 of the component 60, through the intermediate region 40-60 between component 60 and component 40, through the passage opening 41, through the space 10-20, which is when the metering device is actuated 4 results, and finally in the direction of the outlet opening 11, the path of the fluid from the reservoir II Rich direction outlet opening 11 indicated.
- the gap 10-20 is formed by the fact that the fluid to be dispensed is actuated by the actuating pressure Squeeze bottle II is deformed by deforming the elastic valve 20 between the contact point of the sealing lips L and the inner wall 12 of the head part 10.
- the gap formed by the deformation of the valve 20 is sufficient for the sealing lips to release a flow passage in the direction of the outlet opening 11.
- the deformation of the elastic valve 20 also ensures that the outlet opening 11 is opened so that the fluid to be dispensed can exit the outlet opening 11.
- a configuration as an active pump head which enables a fluid to be dispensed by actuating the pump head (and not the squeeze bottle), and / or a configuration as a self-metering metering device is also possible.
- Figure 5 shows a further embodiment of a pump head I according to the invention, which is designed as an active pump head and can thus be actuated.
- the reference numerals according to FIG. 5 are identical to those in FIGS. 3 and 4 and denote identical components. The definitions of the reference numerals are not repeated again in connection with FIGS. 5 and the subsequent figures; what has already been said about FIGS. 3 and 4 applies here without restriction, also for the figures described below.
- the pump head I is, as far as the head part 10 and the first component 40 is concerned, configured identically to the pump head according to FIG. 3. Between the head part 10 and component 40 there is an elastic valve 20, as shown in FIG Lips included L) introduced. A further elastic valve 201 is additionally introduced between the first component 40 and the second component 60.
- the second component 60 comprises a projection 62 by means of which the pump head can be actuated, ie can be pressed down by a user, for example.
- component 60 has a further elastic valve 201 which is described in more detail below.
- the valve 201 has a guide element 204, in the exemplary case of FIG.
- the second component 60 has a projection 62 by means of which the pump head can be actuated.
- the pump head I comprises a cylindrical pump body 80 which can engage the second component 60 from below. Between the second component 60 and the cylindrical pump body 80, a spring 63 is also formed which, after actuation of the pump head I, can detach the second component 60 and the cylindrical pump body 80 from one another again and thus bring the pump head I back into the bearing state.
- the cylindrical pump body has a central passage opening, into which a piston 100 with a corresponding continuous channel 101 can be inserted.
- the continuous channel is arranged to coincide with the passage channel 61 of the component 60.
- the piston 100 can be received by a receiving opening or recess 64 of the second component 60.
- the cylindrical pump body 80 has an upper pump body section 81 and a lower pump body section 82, both of which are hollow-cylindrical and divide the cylindrical pump body in two.
- the piston 100 is in this case movably mounted in a pump body 90 and can be made smaller by the displacement of the volume of the receiving opening of the pump body and thus press liquid through the continuous channel in the direction of the outlet opening 11.
- the pump body 90 also has a bottom-side valve 95, which can close the inlet opening during the metering process.
- a seal can be used for the compression connection of the pump head I to the storage vessel II (not shown in FIG. 5) (not shown) between pump head I and reservoir II.
- FIG. 6 shows various perspective views of the second elastic valve 201, which is inserted between the first component 40 and the second component 60 in the pump head according to FIG.
- the perspective a) shows a lateral projection of the valve 201.
- the valve in this case comprises a base body 202, which is designed in such a way that the passage opening 61 of the second component 60 is closed by resting in a closed state.
- the guide element 204 which ensures a safe movement of the second valve in the actuation state in the direction of the first component 40.
- the illustration shown in perspective b) shows a view of the valve 201 from above.
- Two circular segment-like recesses 203 can be seen, which, when the passage opening 61 of the second component 60 is released by the valve 201, allow fluid to be dispensed to wash around the base body 202 of the valve 201 and thus be guided in the direction of the first component 40.
- Perspective c) shows a further lateral projection of valve 201, starting from the illustration from perspective b).
- Perspective d) shows the deformation of valve 201 during an actuation process.
- the illustration depicted in perspective d) represents a section through the valve 201. The deformation of the elastic valve 201 in the actuated state can be seen.
- the valve is deformed (and due to the fixing of the valve 201 by the first component 40) upwards, as a result of which the passage opening 61 of the second component 60 is opened.
- the deformation of the valve is represented by the two horizontal lines, which represent the lower end of the valve 201 and the two arrows.
- FIG. 7 shows the pump head according to FIG. 5 in the assembled state.
- the pump head I is additionally applied to a storage vessel II, which has a bellows 105 in its interior, in which fluid to be dispensed is introduced.
- Figure 7 shows the pump head I in a stored state.
- FIG. 8 shows the pump head according to FIG. 7 in the actuated state.
- the actuation state is achieved in that a user clicks on the projection 62 presses and thus presses the second component including the piston 100 down.
- the movement process is shown by the two arrows.
- the spring assembly 63 is compressed here. Due to the reduction in volume by inserting the piston 100 into the pump body 90, fluid located in the pump body 90 is discharged upward along the line shown in FIG. 8 through the through channel 101 of the piston 100, through the passage opening 61 of the second component 62, and deforms this elastic valve 201, which is attached in the space 40-60 between the first component 40 and the second component 60. This clears the passage channel 41 in the first component 40. As a result, fluid flows into the intermediate space 10-20 between the head part 10 and the elastic valve 20, which further releases the outlet opening 11 in the manner already illustrated in connection with FIGS. 3 and 4, so that the fluid is ultimately released to the environment.
- FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of a pump head according to the invention, which is designed for lateral application.
- the pump head is actuated by pressure on the first component 40.
- Identical reference numerals were used here as in the preceding figures.
- the pump head according to FIG. 9 also comprises an elastic valve 20, as shown in FIG. 1 or 2.
- the pump head I according to FIG. 9 comprises a second elastic valve 201.
- the mode of operation is identical to that of the pump head I, as described in FIGS. 7-9, only the way of the fluid flow through the pump head I is configured differently.
- Figure 10 describes the pump head according to Figure 9 in the actuated state, the pressure point is described with the large arrow indicated above; the discharge of fluid through the discharge opening 11 with the small arrow.
