Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention separately accommodates two or more solutions in one container while preventing contact with air, and
The present invention relates to a separate storage/mixing/outflow device for multiple liquids, which mixes the separated and stored liquids in an arbitrary distribution while flowing out the liquids from a container.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, among chemical solutions and food solutions that are used by mixing two or more types of containers, there are many that cannot be stored for a long time in a mixed state. In other words, some liquid mixtures deteriorate in quality or become unusable due to chemical changes or changes in taste over time. In such cases, two or more types of mixed solutions should be stored in separate containers. However, they must be mixed immediately before use.

However, this requires a large number of containers for each type of liquid, and is time-consuming to mix.Additionally, solutions that undergo chemical changes and taste changes generally oxidize when exposed to air, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the solution. may deteriorate. Therefore, even if each solution is housed in a separate container, there is a drawback that each solution is likely to come into contact with the air in the container and be oxidized.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The invention aims to store two or more types of solutions in a state that prevents them from coming into contact with the air, and also allows them to be easily mixed and used at the time of use. be.

[Means for solving the problem] The device for separating, storing, and mixing and discharging multiple liquids of the present invention has a flat bottom and a partition wall to form a liquid chamber that separately stores multiple liquids. a container; each liquid conduction pipe attached to a side wall of the container and extending upward from near the bottom of each liquid chamber to reach a position above the liquid level in the liquid chamber; and each liquid conduction pipe an outflow port that collects the liquids led from the respective liquid-separated conduction pipes and flows out to the outside; has an inner bag that expands and contracts up and down within the liquid chamber according to the amount of air stored inside, and a movable member, and external air is sent into the inner bag by moving the movable member by external operation. , a pump provided for each inner bag; and a connecting member serving as a handle that connects the movable members of each pump outside the container.

[Function] In the multiple liquid separation/containment/mixing device of the present invention configured as described above, by operating the connecting member, the movable members of each pump can be simultaneously moved by the same stroke, and the air of each pump can be moved simultaneously by the same stroke. An amount of air corresponding to the discharge capacity of the inner bag is sent into each inner bag.
Then, each inner bag expands at the same time, and the liquid in each liquid chamber is pressed, and as a result, the liquid in each liquid chamber is transferred from near the bottom of each liquid chamber to the liquid in each liquid chamber via a separate conduction pipe. They are guided to a position above the surface, and then simultaneously mixed and flowed out through the outlet. Furthermore, since the amount of expansion of each inner bag is determined according to the amount of air discharged by each pump when the movable member of each pump is moved by the same stroke, simply changing each pump to one with a different discharge capacity is sufficient. ,
The ratio of each liquid in the mixed liquid discharged from the outlet can be changed arbitrarily.

Note that when the connecting member is not operated, each liquid is stored separately in each liquid chamber, but at this time, each liquid conduction pipe is connected from near the bottom of each liquid chamber to above the liquid level in each liquid chamber. Since the structure has a length that reaches the position, the liquids do not reach the outlet and mix, and the liquids are separated more reliably. In addition, the inner bag provided in each liquid chamber has a bellows-shaped side part and is configured to be inscribed in each liquid chamber, so air can be drawn from between the inner wall surface of each liquid chamber and the inner bag. There is no leakage,
Each liquid is stored in a state where it is reliably isolated from air.

Furthermore, the container is configured to have a box shape with a flat bottom and partition walls to form multiple liquid chambers, and a conduction pipe for each liquid is attached to the side wall of the container near the bottom of each liquid chamber. By extending the device upwards, the entire device can be stably placed on the floor.Therefore, there is no need to support the entire device with your hands, and you can simply operate the connecting member with one hand. This allows you to take out multiple liquids while mixing them. In addition, by housing the liquid chambers in one container and by attaching the conduction pipes for each liquid to the side walls of the container and extending from the bottom of each liquid chamber to the top, the entire device can be made compact. It can be done.

[Example] Next, the configuration of an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show the basic configuration of the present invention, in which a synthetic resin-molded container 1 with a flat bottom has two solutions 3 separated by a partition plate 2. , 4 for separately accommodating liquid chambers 5 and 6.
is formed. An outflow port 7 protruding from the upper surface of the container 1 in a substantially U-shape connects each solution 3, 4 to each liquid chamber 5, via separate conduction pipes 8, 9 for each solution 3, 4.
A baffle plate 10 protrudes in a labyrinth shape from the flow path at the bottom of each of the conductive pipes 8 and 9 and connects the outflow port 7 and each of the conductive pipes 8 and 9. This makes it easier to mix the solutions 3 and 4.

At the upper part of each of the liquid chambers 5 and 6 of the container 1 formed in this way, there is an inner bag that is in close contact with the inner upper surface of the container and is expandable and retractable while being inscribed in the inner wall surface of each of the liquid chambers 5 and 6. In the example, flexible bellows 11 and 12 made of synthetic resin are attached so that they can expand and contract in the vertical direction in the figure with their lower surfaces in contact with the upper surfaces of the solutions 3 and 4 to prevent each solution 3 and 4 from coming into contact with air. is being prevented. On the upper surface of the container 1 are pumps 13 and 14, in this case a handle 1 that resists the biasing force of a spring 15.
By the downward movement of the piston 17, which is a movable member integrated with 6, the air in the cylinder chamber 18 is supplied into the bellows 11, 12 through the discharge valve 19, and the solution 3,
4, the pumps 13 and 14 introduce air from the atmosphere into the cylinder chamber 18 through the suction valve 20 by upward movement of the piston 17 as a movable member integral with the handle 16 due to the biasing force of the spring 15. Each bellows 11 and 12 are attached separately. Moreover, the pistons 17 of each pump 13, 14 are moved up and down simultaneously by a handle 16 common to each pump 13, 14,
Moreover, since the volume of the cylinder chamber 18 is the same, when the handle 16 is moved up and down, the same volume of air is supplied to each bellows 11 and 12, and the solutions 3 and 4 at the same flow rate are supplied from the conduction pipes 8 and 9. It is sent to the outlet 7 at the same time. In the device 21 for separating, storing, mixing and discharging multiple liquids configured in this manner, each liquid chamber 5,
The solutions 3 and 4 in the container 6 are reliably prevented from coming into contact with air by the inner wall surface of the container 1 and the lower surfaces and bellows-shaped sides of the bellows 11 and 12, thereby preventing oxidation of the solutions 3 and 4. Moreover, in this antioxidant storage state, the solutions 3 and 4 are completely separated, and the outflow port 7
Also, solutions 3 and 4 never mix. When the handle 16 is moved up and down, the solutions 3 and 4 in each liquid chamber 5 and 6 are caused by the expansion of the bellows 11 and 12 caused by the simultaneous operation of both pumps 13 and 14.
The same amount of solutions 3 and 4 are flowed out from the outlet 7 through the conduction pipes 8 and 9, and at the time of flow, both solutions 3 and 4 are thoroughly mixed and flowed out, especially at the baffle plate 10 part. .

For example, conventionally, liquid oxidative hair dyes require two solutions to be stored in separate containers and then mixed and applied to the hair immediately before use. Stored solutions are susceptible to deterioration when exposed to the air inside the container, and when transferring one solution to another, an ammonia odor is emitted, and the solution may spill, resulting in uneven mixing.
There was a risk of staining hands and clothes. In contrast, in the case of the present invention, the bellows 11 and 12 provided inscribed in each of the liquid chambers 5 and 6 make it possible to reliably store both liquids in a state where they are separated from each other without coming into contact with air. Moreover, just by pressing down on the handle 16, you can easily mix both solutions and obtain the required amount just before use, and dye hair without emitting unpleasant odors or staining your hands or clothes. You can work comfortably. In addition, the multiple liquid separation/containment/mixing/outflow device 21 of this embodiment allows the entire device to be placed on the floor in a stable state.
Therefore, there is no need to support the entire device by hand, and multiple liquids can be mixed and taken out by simply operating the handle 16 with one hand, providing excellent operability. Additionally, the entire device is extremely compact.

FIG. 3 is a practical example of the principle configuration diagram shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In this example, the container 1 is separated into a main body 1A and a lid 1B, and the lid 1B is opened to contain solutions 3 and 4 in the respective liquid chambers 5 and 6, and bellows 11 and 12 protrude in accordance with the amount of liquid. pump amount 1
3 and 14, close the lid 1B, hook the lever 23 of the toggle type locking device 22 onto the hook 24, and toggle the lever 23 around the hook 24 to close the lid 1B. 1A, and the solutions 3 and 4 in the liquid chambers 5 and 6 are also hermetically stored without being exposed to air.

In addition, instead of mixing the two liquids in equal amounts, for example, 1:
If you want to mix and flow the solutions at an arbitrary ratio such as 2, this can be easily achieved by changing the volumes of the pumps 13 and 14 as shown in FIG. In order to avoid mixing at the upstream position of the outlet 7, as shown in FIG.
The solutions 3 and 4 from 9 can also be mixed at the outlet 7 position, and each solution 3, 4 can be mixed at the outlet 7 as shown in FIG.
A check valve 25 is installed at the downstream position of each conduction pipe 8, 9 so that the pipe 4 does not come into contact with air at the outlet 7 position.
can also be installed.

[Effects of the invention] The present invention allows multiple types of solutions to be stored separately in one container while preventing them from coming into contact with air. , it is possible to further improve the air-tightness, and there is an effect that each solution can be stored while reliably preventing deterioration due to oxidation. Furthermore, by operating the connecting member, a mixture of multiple liquids can be easily obtained, and various mixing ratios can be easily changed by simply changing the discharge capacity of the pump.

Furthermore, when each solution is in a storage state, each solution does not mix at the outlet, and each solution can be reliably stored separately, the mixed solution can be placed in a stable state on the floor, and the mixed solution can be stored in a stable state. This has the advantage of excellent operability when taking out the liquid, and the overall device is very compact.
