Definitions

  • the invention relates to a discharge head for a liquid dispenser and a liquid dispenser with such a discharge head.
  • a generic discharge head has a housing and a coupling device for attachment to a liquid storage. It also has a discharge opening through which liquid can be discharged into a surrounding atmosphere, and via an outlet channel which extends from an inlet region pointing in the direction of the liquid storage to the discharge opening and by means of which the discharge opening can be supplied with liquid.
  • a generic dispenser and a generic discharge head is provided that the liquid in the liquid storage or in a separate pressure chamber is pressurized to be promoted by this pressure through the outlet channel in the direction of the discharge.
  • the pressurization it is possible for a user to directly influence the pressure and thus also to pressurize the liquid in the light of the intended use with an excessive pressure, for example by the force with which a squeeze bottle serving as a liquid storage is compressed.
  • the effect of this user-dependent pressurization can then be, for example, that a liquid jet is discharged at the discharge opening, although only a small amount of liquid should be spent as intended to form droplets. Or a pressure can be generated which leads to a spray pattern with too fine droplets.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a discharge head and a liquid dispenser, which can deliver them through the discharge opening even at low pressurization of the liquid in the intended manner, but at the same time limit the liquid pressure and / or the liquid flow at excessive actuation so that a proper Discharge form of the liquid remains possible.
  • the discharge head in the outlet channel 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.
  • this throttle device is designed as a dynamic throttle device, in which a free cross-section of the throttle channel is reduced with increasing applied to the throttle device pressure or at higher throttle device flowing through the liquid stream.
  • An inventive discharge head like a generic discharge head, has an outlet channel at the end of which the outlet opening is provided. This outlet channel connects a liquid reservoir of the liquid dispenser with the discharge opening, so that when pressurizing the liquid in the liquid storage as a whole or pressurizing a partial charge of the liquid it is conveyed towards the discharge opening and discharged there.
  • said dynamic throttle device In order to avoid too high a pressure and / or too high a liquid flow at the outlet opening, said dynamic throttle device is provided.
  • This dynamic throttle device has the special feature that it adapts the flow resistance as a function of operating parameters. This is done by reducing a free cross section of the throttle channel at higher pressure or higher liquid flow. Such a reduction may be, for example, that beyond a first throttle point in the Austasskanat by shifting a throttle area, a further throttle point is formed, the free cross section less than which is the first throttle point. In particular, however, a wall of the throttle channel experience a shift, so that the throttle channel thereby reduces its free cross-section.
  • the dynamic throttle device may be designed so that it usually occupies only one of two possible states, one or hardly throttling and one more throttling.
  • a design is preferred in which the throttling effect, as it were, occurs analogously, so that a continuously increasing throttling effect is achieved with increasing pressurization or rising liquid flow.
  • the dynamic throttle device may be designed to close completely when the pressure is too high, it is considered advantageous if the dynamic throttle device is designed such that it never completely closes the throttle passage.
  • the dynamic throttle device adapts in dependence on operating parameters in each case, namely as a function of the applied pressure or the fluid flow, wherein, depending on the configuration, the two variables mentioned are coupled to each other or each cause an adaptation of the dynamic throttle device.
  • An embodiment of the throttle device which leads directly by pressure to a reduction in the free cross section of the throttle channel, may be given, for example, if different sized pressurization surfaces on a displaceable wall of the throttle channel ensure that increasing pressure cause a deflection of this wall.
  • the liquid flow can also cause the displacement of a channel wall of the throttle channel when an identical total pressure is present on both sides of this wall, since the increased fluid velocity in the throttle channel according to Bernoulli leads to a lower static pressure there, which in turn can be used to taper the throttle channel.
  • the throttle channel is preferably limited at least in sections by an inner side of a channel wall that is movable by displacement or deformation.
  • this channel wall is rigid in itself and part of a throttle component, which is displaced as a whole. This will be explained below.
  • a deformable and preferably elastic component which can thus subsequently return to its starting position, is used to effect a variable cross-section of the throttle duct.
  • An outside of the channel wall facing away from the inside can be communicatively connected to an inlet of the throttle channel, so that when the fluid is pressurized for the purpose of discharge, an identical pressure increase takes place at the inlet of the throttle channel and on the outside of the channel wall.
  • a design in which sets an identical total pressure on both sides of the channel wall, is therefore advantageous because not the pressurization of the liquid as such causes a change in the cross section of the throttle channel, but only the increase of the dynamic pressure and the drop in the static pressure in throttle channel.
  • the dynamic pressure is due to the velocity of the liquid flow in the throttle channel. Since it is usually in an inventive embodiment of a discharge head the goal is to limit the liquid flow, such a solution is advantageous in which also the liquid flow and its velocity is that size which leads to a taper of the throttle channel and thus to an increase in Friction against the walls and within in liquid and thereby to a reduction of the liquid flow. In a sense, the liquid flow is therefore limited itself.
  • the portable channel wall may be part of a flat and preferably deformable wall plate. This at least partially opposite to the housing ortsver selectedlichen channel wall can be provided a stationary channel wall, wherein the portable channel wall and the fixed channel wall define the throttle channel between them.
  • the throttle channel is in this case formed by a gap between the undeformed plan wall plate and the housing stationary channel wall.
  • the flat and preferably deformable Wandungsplatte is preferably fixed in a mounting area fixed to the stationary channel wall and projects to form the gap on this stationary channel wall.
  • the stationary channel wall also has at least one opening which, as it were, represents the end of the throttle channel and into which the liquid flows, which has passed through the throttle channel.
  • a particularly simple way of attaching the flat and preferably deformable wall plate is that it is provided with an opening which is pushed onto a housing-side fixing pin and fastened there, for example, snapped.
  • the discharge head may have a plurality of mutually parallel throttle channels.
  • the wall plate can be provided as a common wall plate, which limits the at least two throttle channels in sections.
  • throttle channel Although naturally a throttle channel sufficient to achieve the desired purpose, it may be advantageous and structurally very easy to provide a plurality of parallel-connected throttle channels.
  • the parallel connection is understood to mean that the fluid only has to pass through one of these throttle channels connected in parallel.
  • the arrangement in which a common wall plate limits both throttle channels in sections, leads to a reduction of components and is also very easy to achieve by a point or line-symmetrical design.
  • the Wandungsplatte be secured in the region of a web between the throttle channels and intended deform on both sides of this web to effect a taper of the two throttle channels provided there.
  • At least one survey may be provided on the housing or the wall plate, in the region of the housing wall and the wall plate abut each other.
  • a gap is defined in the aforementioned manner, which represents the throttle channel. Due to the aforementioned elevations or their edges, this gap is additionally limited. In the region of the elevations, the housing wall and the wall plate abut each other, wherein it is particularly advantageous if the elevation is provided on the side of the housing wall, since the deformable wall plate can then be designed as elevation-free plane and thus low producible wall plate.
  • the elevations and in particular the edges of this elevation can be used in a simple manner in order to be able to influence the inclination of the wall plate for throttling deformation. If, for example, a rectilinear web-like elevation is provided, deformation of the wall plate fastened in the area of this elevation requires only a buckling of the wall plate of the web-like elevation. However, if projections are provided whose edges pointing in the direction of the throttle channel include an angle of less than 180 °, for example an angle of approximately 90 °, the wall plate must buckle along two non-parallel lines for the purpose of deformation, which requires a higher degree of force.
  • the shape of the surveys can therefore in particular also be used to adapt otherwise identical discharge heads to different liquids and their specific properties or to influence the maximum discharge / discharge liquid flow in the light of the field of application.
  • the discharge head has a throttle component of an elastically deformable material as part of the throttle device.
  • This throttle component has an opening surrounded by a deformation region, which forms the throttle channel.
  • the throttle component preferably additionally has at least one pressurization surface on which the liquid rests upstream of the throttle channel during operation and the deformation region is deformed by pressurization thereof and a free cross section of the throttle channel can be reduced.
  • the throttle channel is provided on a deformable as a whole throttle member in the form of a circumferentially surrounded aperture, which form this opening, ie the throttle channel surrounding areas forming the deformation region and can be deformed by pressurization or a liquid flow, that the free cross section of the throttle channel changes.
  • the throttle channel is defined by a component in such a configuration alone, a very small dispersion of the behavior of identical discharge heads can be achieved. Unlike a design in which the throttle channel is formed by a plurality of components, it comes in this design hardly a special mounting accuracy.
  • the assembly is very easy due to the design of the throttle channel of only one component.
  • the throttle component may have a curved in the upstream direction elevation, in which the throttle channel is provided. In this way, it is achieved that the desired tapering of the throttle passage reliably adjusts when the fluid pressure presses from different sides onto the elevation.
  • the throttle channel breaks through the survey preferably at its most sublime point.
  • the throttle component may have an outer circumferential edge region connected in one piece with the deformation region.
  • the elastic throttle component can be fastened by a snap connection or in particular a one-piece molding on a rigid housing portion of the housing.
  • the attachment of the throttle member to a housing portion of the housing of the discharge head is advantageous because a pre-assembly is created by this, which does not run the risk even when handling bulk material to damage the elastic throttle component. This is preferably set back against walls of the housing that handled as bulk material is not injured by other discharge heads of the bulk material. This has proven to be advantageous in practice, since otherwise there is the danger that the throttle component after damage as bulk material no longer reacts throttling in the desired manner.
  • the edge region can be arranged such that it seals the liquid reservoir against the housing when the liquid reservoir is coupled.
  • the throttling channel may have at least one closing region and at least one free region, which together form the cross section of the throttle channel together and into one another.
  • the closing area an application of opposing edges of the throttle channel takes place by application of force to the pressurizing surface.
  • the free area is limited by an edge arrangement which does not lead to a closing of the free area even when the pressurization area is acted on by force.
  • the throttle channel has a cross-sectional area which has a pressure or liquid flow-dependent portion, the closing area, which closes at high pressure or high liquid flow.
  • a free area is provided, which remains open even at the highest to be assumed in real operation pressures and liquid flows.
  • the sectional design of the throttle channel as a closing area or as a free area can be determined by the choice of geometry.
  • a slot-shaped portion of the cross section of the throttle channel is suitable to close completely and thus represent a closing area.
  • a circular or polygonal section of the throttle channel will not close completely even at high pressures and thus represents a free area.
  • the throttle channel is preferably bounded in sections by at least one shape variable wall
  • the throttle channel is limited by two rigid channel walls, one of the channel walls is provided as a portable channel wall on a movable throttle member.
  • the throttle channel is limited by rigid walls, which are movable as a whole relative to each other. At least one of these walls is, preferably against the force of a return spring, deflected, which is reduced by this deflection of the free cross section of the throttle channel.
  • This movable throttle component is preferably guided by means of a guide relative to the housing, wherein this guide can be formed in particular by two telescopically telescoped sleeves.
  • Said spring force is preferably generated by a spring device, which is arranged in a particularly advantageous design in the space formed by the sleeves.
  • the exhaust head in the exhaust passage downstream of the throttle means comprises an exhaust valve which opens in response to the upstream overpressure.
  • valve will reduce the risk of the dispenser leaking.
  • a drop dispenser based on a discharge head according to the invention should be realized, it is particularly advantageous if the valve opens at a low pressure of, for example, 0.3 bar.
  • the outlet valve preferably closes automatically in a pressure interval between a defined input-side negative pressure and an input-side overpressure and opens when the defined negative pressure is exceeded and when the defined overpressure is exceeded.
  • Such a valve thus opens both at negative pressure and at overpressure. This is the prerequisite for simultaneously using the outlet channel as a ventilation channel for the liquid reservoir. This is in the sense of a simple structure of advantage.
  • a particular advantage in the joint use of the outlet channel as a ventilation channel is that can be widened again by the incoming air after completion of a discharge of the throttle channel.
  • the outlet valve is preferably formed of an elastic material and has an upstream curvature, in which a valve opening closable valve openings is provided, so that with increasing input side pressure until reaching an input side limit overpressure, the valve pressure increasingly pressed against each other.
  • the discharge head is preferably designed to form droplets, wherein the throttling device is designed to limit the liquid flow, which leads to the discharge opening for the formation of individual droplets and not for the formation of a liquid jet.
  • the throttle device is preferably adapted to the configuration of a droplet forming surface arranged beyond the outlet opening such that the liquid flow at the discharge opening is insufficient to permit a continuous rupture of the liquid flow, ie a jet.
  • the housing of the discharge head comprises a first one-piece base member comprising the coupling means for attachment to the liquid storage, and a second one-piece applicator member having the discharge opening penetrated by the liquid passage and fixed to the base member.
  • the said construction with only two components on the housing is very cost-effective because of its simplicity.
  • the two housing components, the base component and the applicator component allow the said outlet valve to be easily position-fixed. If, in the manner outlined above, the throttle component is designed as an elastic component which is integrally formed with a housing section, in particular of the base component, then a complete discharge head can be composed of only three components to be assembled.
  • a liquid dispenser for dispensing liquid in particular for dispensing cosmetic or pharmaceutical liquids, via a dispensing head having an outlet opening for dispensing liquid into a surrounding atmosphere and a liquid reservoir by releasable coupling means or integral with a housing of the dispensing head connected.
  • the discharge head is designed according to one of the preceding claims.
  • the liquid dispenser is preferably designed as a drop dispenser. It is therefore beyond the discharge channel a drop formation surface, preferably in the form of a spherical cap provided, on which the liquid collects before it dissolves in the form of drops.
  • This drop formation surface, the throttle device and the liquid in the dispenser are preferably matched to one another in such a way that no liquid jet is produced at the discharge opening, even with a high actuation force on the squeeze bottle of 100 Newtons.
  • the liquid reservoir is preferably designed as a squeeze bottle or tube.
  • the liquid storage as a squeeze bottle or tube.
  • the dynamic throttle device described herein will be particularly helpful in preventing them from being overstressed Operation negatively affects the discharge pattern.
  • the internal volume of the fluid reservoir is preferably less than 300 ml, less than 100 ml, or even less than 50 ml. These are typical sizes of fluid reservoirs for holding pharmaceutical or cosmetic fluids.
  • the liquid reservoir is preferably filled with a cosmetic or pharmaceutical liquid.
  • preservative-containing liquids are suitable as pharmaceutical liquids, since it is considered advantageous if the ventilation takes place in a discharge head according to the invention through the outlet channel, so that an air filtration is structurally difficult to implement here.
  • cosmetic liquids there are in particular makeup products and creams, such as anti-wrinkle cream, and oils that are to be discharged.
  • filler or concealer liquids which serve to fill in or cover smaller wrinkles, can be well dispensed with a dispensing head according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows a liquid dispenser 100 according to the invention, which is designed in the manner of a drop dispenser.
  • This liquid dispenser 100 has a liquid reservoir 90 designed as a squeeze bottle and a discharge head 10 placed thereon, on which a discharge opening 38 is provided. For closing the liquid dispenser, a cap 110 is provided.
  • the liquid dispenser serves to deliver drops, for example of cosmetic liquids such as oils, make-up, fillers or the like in drop form.
  • the intended operation provides that the entire dispenser is brought approximately in an overhead position with downwardly facing discharge opening 38 and that in this position, the liquid storage 90 on opposite sides in the region of actuating surfaces 92 is subjected to force and compressed so that the in Liquid storage liquid is pressurized and conveyed to the discharge opening 38.
  • the liquid collects on a drop formation surface 26A surrounding the discharge opening 38 and dissolves as intended in the form of individual drops.
  • the technical design of the discharge head 10 explained below serves the purpose of jointly achieving that, on the one hand, drop dispensing takes place even with only slight pressure on the squeeze bottle and, on the other hand, ensuring that even a strong actuation or compression of the liquid store 90 does not lead to Delivery of liquid in the form of a jet of liquid leads.
  • the discharge head 10 has a very simple structure. Beyond the design of the throttle device 34, which will be explained below, the discharge head 10 is made up of only three components, namely a two-part housing 20 with a base component 22 and an applicator component 26 and a fixed between these two components fastening ring designed as a one-piece elastic member outlet valve 36. In addition, a sealing ring 80 is provided for sealing the discharge head 10 relative to the liquid storage 90 in the embodiment yet.
  • the throttle device 34 comprises a partition wall 25 belonging to the base component 22, which at the same time constitutes a first stationary duct wall 56 of the throttle duct 50.
  • the second opposite channel wall is formed by the inside 52A of an elastically deformable wall plate 54, which is clipped to the base member 22 in the region of a fastening pin 25C.
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B showing the base member 22 without and with the wall plate 54 fixed, this will be explained in more detail.
  • Fig. 4A Based on Fig. 4A it can be seen that the housing wall 25 is penetrated by two openings 25A. Next is in Fig. 4A to recognize that in the region of the fastening pin 25C on the partition wall 25 on both sides of the fastening pin 25C a striven, elongated elevation is provided. This separates two throttle channels 50, which by fastening the wall plate 54 in the in Fig. 4B clarified manner arise on the fixing pin 25C.
  • the design of the Figs. 5A and 5B is largely similar to that of FIGS. 4A and 4B , The only difference is that the surveys 25B in the case of the design of the Figs. 5A and 5B have a different shape and not, as in Fig. 4A clarified, are designed only elongated striven. Instead, the elevations have approximately the shape of a quarter circle, so that the in Fig. 5B shown lines along which the wall plate 54 deforms as intended, not aligned. The effect of this is that the tapering of the throttle channel under other boundary conditions than in the embodiment of FIGS. 4A and 4B takes place. In this way, the liquid dispenser 100 can be adapted with a relatively small adaptation for different liquids.
  • the throttle device 34 is designed differently.
  • the throttle device 34 of this embodiment has a generally elastic throttle 62, which is penetrated by the throttle passage 60.
  • the throttle member 62 has a planar edge region 68, on which a centrally rising in the direction of the liquid reservoir elevation 63 rises.
  • the throttle channel 60 penetrates this elevation 63 and is surrounded by a deformation region 64 which deforms as intended.
  • two pressurizing surfaces 65 are provided, which are pressurized upon discharge of the liquid from this and thereby cause a deformation of the throttle channel 60.
  • the throttle channel 60 has a circular open area 60B and slit-like closing areas 60A.
  • This design is chosen so that when pressurizing no complete closing of the throttle channel 60 takes place.
  • Figs. 9B to 9D show alternative designs.
  • the slot-shaped portions of the throttle channel 60 are shaped so that they allow a complete closing.
  • Circular free areas form the ends of the slot.
  • free areas 60B and closing areas 60A are part of the same throttle channel 60. This is particularly useful for liquids that have an adhesion-enhancing tendency, since the always open remaining open area increases the tendency that the closing areas after the end of the discharge again separate from each other.
  • FIGS. 11A and 11B show a third embodiment.
  • the throttle channel 70 is here adjacent to a displaceable closing body 72 which, via a spring 74 in a sleeve structure 76, 72A in Direction of the final position of the Fig. 11A is charged with force. If an overpressure is built up in the liquid accumulator 90, this overpressure acts on the throttle body 72 on all sides. Due to the larger effective pressurization area for upward pressurization, the pressure prevailing on all sides acts in such a way that a force acts on the throttle body 72, which affects it the perspective of Figs. 11A and 11B shifted upwards.
  • the throttle channel 70 is reduced in size with respect to its cross section and finally completely closed.
  • the liquid can still partially flow past the throttle body 72, so that droplet formation still remains possible.
