[Fluid Providing Device According to Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a fluid providing apparatus according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, a fluid supply device 1 according to an embodiment includes a bag 30 to which a connector 40 is attached, a frame 10 that holds the bag 30, and a suction and discharge device that sucks and discharges fluid from the bag 30. 20. Details will be described below.

(Bag 30)
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the bag. First, the bag 30 will be described with reference to FIG.

The bag 30 is filled with fluid. The fluid is, for example, shampoo, rinse, detergent, or seasoning such as ketchup or mayonnaise. The fluid is preferably a shampoo or rinse containing fats and oils containing unsaturated fatty acids, and in particular, the content of fats and oils containing unsaturated fatty acids is 1% or more of the total amount of fluid sealed in the bag 30. Shampoo or rinse is preferred. Unsaturated fatty acids are prone to oxidation, so shampoos or rinses containing fats and oils containing them can be used up in a short period of time so that they are always kept fresh (not oxidized) It is preferable that the bag 30 is enclosed in an amount (for example, 2 liters or less for business use and 500 milliliters or less for home use). However, in this case, it is necessary to change the bag 30 frequently. However, according to the present embodiment, the bag 30 can be visually observed from the front side or the back side of the fluid providing device 1, and therefore the bag 30 is enclosed. The user is not forced to perform troublesome operations such as rotating the frame 10 in order to see how much fluid is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor of the user who confirms how much fluid is reduced, and to promote frequent replacement of the bag 30 by the user. The unsaturated fatty acid means a fatty acid having one or more unsaturated carbon bonds.

It is preferable that the fluid is sealed in the bag 30 so that, for example, the air in the bag 30 is once degassed and no or substantially no air flows into the bag 30. Thereby, the oxidation of the fluid can be effectively prevented. As will be described later, since a disposable (replacement) bag is used as the bag 30, the fluid is sealed in a factory or the like before the fluid providing device 1 or the bag 30 is shipped.

The bag 30 may have a shape that can stand independently or a shape that cannot stand independently. According to this embodiment, since the bag 30 is hold | maintained by the frame 10, even if it is a shape which cannot become independent, the attitude | position of the bag 30 can be stabilized.

A disposable (replacement) bag is used for the bag 30. According to this embodiment, since the bag 30 can be visually observed from the front or the back, the reduction of the fluid sealed in the bag 30 can be confirmed at a glance, and the bag 30 can be replaced at an appropriate timing. Can do.

As shown in FIG. 2, a connector 40 is attached to the bag 30. The connector 40 includes a through hole 46 having openings inside and outside the bag 30. The pump portion 26 of the suction / discharge device 20 is inserted into the through hole 46. The connector 40 is preferably attached to, for example, the top of the bag 30 so that the bag 30 can be easily positioned inside the frame body 10.

It is preferable that the connector 40 has a sealing valve 50 that seals the through hole 46 before the pump part 26 is inserted and releases the sealing by inserting the pump part 26. In this way, oxidation of the fluid sealed in the bag 30 can be effectively prevented. The sealing valve 50 can be attached to the inside of the through hole 46 or the opening of the through hole 46, for example. The sealing can be released by, for example, breaking or moving the sealing valve 50 by inserting the pump unit 26. In the present embodiment, the sealing valve 50 closes the opening of the through hole 46 (opening inside the bag 30) before the pump part 26 is inserted, but is pushed downward by the insertion of the pump part 26. Suppose that it is spaced apart from the opening of the through hole 46 (opening inside the bag 30) so that the sealing is released.

The connector through-hole 46 has a shape in which no gap exists between the inner wall of the through-hole 46 and the outer wall of the pump portion 26 or substantially does not exist when the pump portion 26 is inserted into the through-hole 46. It is preferable to have. In this way, as long as the pump part 26 is inserted into the through hole 46, the outside air does not enter the bag 30 at all or does not substantially enter. Therefore, since the bag 30 becomes deflated when the amount of fluid sealed in the bag 30 decreases, the amount of fluid remaining in the bag 30 can be confirmed by the shape change of the bag 30. Moreover, the oxidation of the fluid can be effectively prevented. In general, when the shape of the bag 30 changes, the posture of the bag 30 becomes unstable, and it may be difficult to take the fluid out of the bag 30. However, according to the present embodiment, even if the shape of the bag 30 changes, the bag 30 remains held by the frame 10, so that the fluid remaining in the bag 30 can be easily taken out of the bag 30. . The shape having no or substantially no gap refers to a shape in which, for example, the pump portion 26 (the inserted body 26b included in the pump portion 26 in this embodiment) is fitted into the through hole 46.

The connector 40 preferably includes an extending portion 48 extending from the outer peripheral wall of the connector 40. If it does in this way, it will become easy to hold connector 40 by the 1st cylinder part 12 as mentioned below. In addition, holding | maintenance by the extending | stretching part 48 means supporting the extending | stretching part 48 upwards contrary to the gravity which acts on the bag 30, the fluid enclosed with the bag 30, and the connector 40, for example. If it does in this way, the bag 30 can be located inside the frame 10 using the said gravity.

It is preferable that the connector 40 includes an extending portion 49 that is different from the extending portion 48 below the extending portion 48. If it does in this way, it can prevent that the bag 30 and the connector 40 currently hold | maintained at the extending | stretching part 48 shake or tilt as mentioned later. Therefore, the pump part 26 can be accurately and easily inserted into the through hole 46 of the connector 40.

The bag 30 is not particularly limited, and is made of, for example, polyethylene or polyethylene terephthalate. Moreover, the connector 40 is not specifically limited, For example, it is comprised from the resin material etc.
