Abstract

The invention relates to valves (1) for liquids and gases on pressurised containers. The invention aims to provide valves which are easy to clean and service and which guarantee a high degree of operational reliability. To this end, the tip (9) of a valve needle (5), located in a valve housing (2) comprising a cylindrical valve seat (3), has an external profile, over which a seal (10) with an inverse internal profile in relation to the external profile is positioned. Said profiles are configured in the manner of a snap-fit closure (11). Valves of this type are used for the emptying or filling of containers with liquids and gases, in particular for the aeration and de-aeration of said containers. The valves are used, for example, on filter housings which are equipped with filter modules and are operated with a pressure differential.

Description

Ventile für Flüssigkeiten und Gase. Valves for liquids and gases.

Die Erfindung betrifft Ventile für Flüssigkeiten und Gase, die an Behaltern, insbesondere an Druckbehaltem angebracht sindThe invention relates to valves for liquids and gases, which are attached to containers, in particular to pressure vessels

Derartige Ventile dienen zur Entleerung und Befullung der Behalter von beziehungsweise mit Flüssigkeiten sowie zur Ent- und Begasung, insbesondere Ent- und Belüftung der Behalter Sie werden beispielsweise an Filtergehausen verwendet, die mit Filtermodulen bestuckt sind und unter einer Druckdifferrenz betrieben werdenValves of this type are used for emptying and filling the containers with or with liquids and for degassing and gassing, in particular ventilation and ventilation of the containers. They are used, for example, on filter housings which are equipped with filter modules and are operated under a pressure difference

In vielen Bereichen, insbesondere bei der Filtration von Fluiden in der pharmazeutischen, biotechnologischen und lebensmitteltechnischen Industrie müssen Ventile verwendet werden, die folgenden Ansprüchen gerecht werden Gewahrleistung einer hohen Betriebssicherheit, wie Nusschluß der Möglichkeit einer Entfernung der Ventilnadel oder einer Unwirksamkeit der Dichtung des Ventils durch unsachgemäße Bedienung, Ausschluß von schwer zuganglichen Bereichen und von Totvolumina, die eine absolute Reinigung des Ventils oder eine Entfernung unerwünschter Medien verhindern, Gewahrleistung einer leichten Wartung, zum Beispiel zum Ersatz von Dichtungen durch unerfahrenes Personal, kostengünstige Herstellung Die Ventile des Standes der Technik werden diesen Ansprüchen nicht gerechtIn many areas, in particular in the filtration of fluids in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological and food technology industries, valves must be used which meet the following requirements. Ensuring high operational safety, such as the possibility of removal of the valve needle or ineffectiveness of the valve seal due to improper use Operation, exclusion of areas that are difficult to access and dead volumes that prevent absolute cleaning of the valve or removal of unwanted media, guarantee easy maintenance, for example for the replacement of seals by inexperienced personnel, cost-effective manufacture. The valves of the prior art meet these requirements not fair

Bei den bekannten Ventilen ist eine in einem Ventilgehause mit einem zylindrischen Ventilsitz befindliche hohle Ventilnadel aus Edelstahl mit einer Dichtung versehen Durch Drehen einer Überwurfmutter oder der Ventilnadel selbst wird die Dichtung auf eine Ventiloffnung gepreßt oder von ihr entfernt Die Dichtung besteht aus Gründen der hohen chemischen Resistenz aus Kunststoff, beispielsweise aus Polytetrafluorethylen Nachteilig ist, daß die Dichtung bei unsachgemäßem Schließen des Ventils in die Ventiloffnung hineingedruckt wird, was dazu fuhren kann, daß sich beim Offnen des Ventils die Dichtung von der Ventilnadel ablost und die Ventilöffnung verstopft oder das Ventil verklemmt, wodurch es unbrauchbar wird Zur Gewahrleistung der Dichtfunktion müssen die Dichtungen eine planare Oberflache aufweisen Daher muß die Dichtung, nachdem sie auf die Ventilnadel aufgesetz wurde, plan abgedreht werden Nachteilig ist, daß dazu entsprechende Werkzeuge und fachkundiges Personal erforderlich ist Die Dichtung kann zwar leicht ausgetauscht werden, jedoch verliert der Sitz der Dichtung im Betrieb schnell an Festigkeit, so daß die Funktion des Ventils beeinträchtigt ist Nachteilig ist auch, daß bei den Ventilen, deren Ventilnadel ganz aus dem Ventilsitz herausgedreht werden kann, ein Flussigkeits- oder Gasstrom in diesem Zustand nicht mehr kontrollierbar ist Das kann zur Kontamination der Umgebung und zu Verletzungen des Bedienerpersonals fuhren Bekannt ist das Verhindern des Herausziehens der Ventilnadel mittels einer Kette, die am Ventilgehause befestigt und über die Ventilnadel gelegt ist Allerdings stellt die Kette ein zusatzliches Bauelement dar, das schwer zu reinigen und damit für Arbeiten unter Reinraum- oder unter sterilen Bedingungen ungeeignet ist Nachteilig ist auch, daß ein im Inneren des Ventilgehauses liegendes Gewinde eine Ansammlung von Ecken und Kanten darstellt, die schwer zu reinigen sind und Kontaminationen der Fluide verursachen kannIn the known valves, a hollow valve needle made of stainless steel located in a valve housing with a cylindrical valve seat is provided with a seal. By rotating a union nut or the valve needle itself, the seal is pressed onto or removed from a valve opening. The seal is made for reasons of high chemical resistance made of plastic, for example polytetrafluoroethylene It is disadvantageous that the seal is pressed into the valve opening if the valve is improperly closed, which can lead to the fact that when the valve is opened The valve detaches the seal from the valve needle and closes the valve opening or jams the valve, rendering it unusable. To ensure the sealing function, the seals must have a planar surface. Therefore, the seal must be turned flat after it has been placed on the valve needle. that appropriate tools and skilled personnel are required for this purpose. The seal can be easily replaced, but the seat of the seal quickly loses strength during operation, so that the function of the valve is impaired. It is also disadvantageous that the valve needle has its valve needle completely out the valve seat can be unscrewed, a liquid or gas flow can no longer be controlled in this state.This can lead to contamination of the environment and injuries to the operating personnel. It is known to prevent the valve needle from being pulled out by means of a chain which is attached to the valve housing and above the valve needle is inserted However, the chain is an additional component that is difficult to clean and therefore unsuitable for work in clean room or under sterile conditions. It is also disadvantageous that a thread inside the valve housing represents a collection of corners and edges, which are difficult to clean and can cause contamination of the fluids

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Ventil für Flüssigkeiten und Gase bereit zu stellen, das eine hohe Betriebssicherheit, eine gute Reinigung und eine einfache Wartung gewahrleistetThe invention has for its object to provide a valve for liquids and gases, which ensures high operational reliability, good cleaning and easy maintenance

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Ventil mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelost Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Ventils werden durch die Merkmale der abhangigen Ansprüche definiertThe object is achieved by a valve with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements of the valve are defined by the features of the dependent claims

Das erfindungsgemaße Ventil für Flüssigkeiten und Gase besteht mindestens aus einem Ventilgehause mit einem zylinderformigen Ventilsitz mit einer Durchgangsbohrung, über welche das Ventil mit einem Behalter kommunizierend verbindbar ist, und aus einer mit einem Kanal für die Flüssigkeiten und Gase und einer geschlossenen Spitze ausgestatteten Ventilnadel, die in dem Ventilgehause mit dem zylinderformigen Ventilsitz beweglich angeordnet ist derart, daß die Spitze mit Dichtung im geschlossenen Zustand des Ventils bis an die Durchgangsbohrung reicht Die Spitze der Ventilnadel besitzt ein Außenprofil, über welches sich die Dichtung, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, mit einem zu dem Außenprofil inversen Innenprofil befindet Dabei sind die Profile in der Art eines Schnappverschlusses ausgebildet Durch die erfindungsgemaße Ausbildung der Profile wird ein besonders fester Sitz der Dichtung auf der Spitze der Ventilnadel erreicht Selbst wenn die Ventilnadel unter Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeugen, wie Zangen oder Maulschlüsseln, beim Schließen des Ventils über Gebuhr festgezogen worden ist, kann sich die Dichtung zwar verformen, sie lost sich beim Offnen des Ventils aber nicht von der Spitze der Ventilnadel ab Damit bleibt die Betriebssicherheit des Ventils auch bei unsachgemäßer Handhabung erhaltenThe valve according to the invention for liquids and gases consists at least of a valve housing with a cylindrical valve seat with a through-hole, via which the valve can be communicatively connected to a container, and a valve needle equipped with a channel for the liquids and gases and a closed tip in the valve housing with the cylindrical valve seat is arranged movably such that the tip with seal in the closed state of the valve extends to the through hole The tip of the valve needle has an outer profile, over which the seal, preferably made of plastic, is located with an inner profile that is inverse to the outer profile. The profiles are designed in the manner of a snap lock A particularly tight fit of the seal on the tip of the valve needle is achieved. Even if the valve needle has been tightened with the aid of tools such as pliers or spanners, the seal can deform, and it will come loose when the valve is opened but not from the tip of the valve needle. This ensures that the valve remains operational even if it is not handled properly

Andererseits laßt sich zum Wechseln der Dichtung die auszutauschende Dichtung von der Spitze der Ventilnadel mittels eines Werkzeuges, beispielsweise einer Zange, in der Regel nur unter Zerstörung der Dichtung, zumindest aber des Innenprofils, entfernen Damit wird sichergestellt, daß nur neue intakte Dichtungen für eine Neubestuckung verwendet werden können Die Neubestuckung erfolgt dabei so, daß die neue Dichtung mit der Dichtflache nach unten auf eine glatte Unterlage gelegt wird und die Ventilnadel mit der profilierten Spitze in die Profiloffnung der Dichtung hinein gedruckt wird, bis die Profile einrasten Das Ventil laßt sich mit einfachen Mitteln auch von wenig erfahrenem Personal sicher warten Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht dann, daß durch die Ausgestaltung der Profile keine Totraume zwischen der Dichtung und der Ventilnadel entstehen, in denen sich schwer entfernbare Verunreinigungen ansammeln konnten In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Dichtung in ihrem Frontbereich zur Abdichtung der Durchgangsbohrung trapezförmig ausgebildet, wodurch ein besonders guter Sitz der Dichtung im geschlossenen Zustand des Ventils erreicht wirdOn the other hand, to replace the seal, the seal to be replaced can be removed from the tip of the valve needle by means of a tool, for example pliers, as a rule only by destroying the seal, or at least the inner profile. This ensures that only new intact seals for new equipment The new equipment can be used so that the new seal is placed with the sealing surface facing down on a smooth surface and the valve needle with the profiled tip is pressed into the profile opening of the seal until the profiles snap into place Safe maintenance even by inexperienced personnel. Another advantage is that the design of the profiles means that there are no dead spaces between the seal and the valve needle in which contaminations that are difficult to remove could accumulate. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the seal is in its front area to seal the through hole trapezoidal, whereby a particularly good fit of the seal is achieved in the closed state of the valve

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Ventilgehause mit einem Außengewinde und einer darauf laufenden Uberwurfmuter versehen, mit der die Ventilnadel entlang der Langsachse des Ventilgehauses zum Offnen und Schließen des Ventils bewegbar ist Die Überwurfmutter überragt das Außengewinde in einer Lange, die im geschlossenen Ventilzustand mindestens der maximal zulassigen Wegstrecke der Ventilnadel zum vollständigen Offnen des Ventils entspricht Die Überwurfmutter ist im Bereich ihres in Richtung der Durchgangsbohrung weisenden Randes mit einer inneren Umfangsnut und einem darin befindlichen Sprengring ausgestattet, derart, daß der Sprengring beim Erreichen der maximal zulassigen Wegstrecke der Ventilnadel nach dem vollständigen Offnen des Ventils am Außengewinde, diese Wegstrecke begrenzend, anliegt Dadurch wird ein unbeabsichtigtes Entfernen der Ventilnadel aus dem Ventilgehause, zumindest aber aus dem zylinderformigen Ventilsitz, verhindert, so daß erforderlichenfalls jederzeit wieder ein schnelles Schließen des Ventils ermöglich ist Der Sprengring kann von der Überwurfmutter mit handelsüblichen Werkzeugen entfernt werden Diese Sicherung kann nahezu unabhängig von der Einbaulage des Ventils montiert werden, vorausgesetzt, daß genügend Platz zwischen dem Außengewinde des Ventilgehauses und dem Behalter, an dem sich das Ventil befindet, vorhanden ist, wobei ein Abstand ab etwa 1 cm ausreicht Eine derartige Sicherung ist einer üblichen Sicherung mittels Kette oder ahnlichem überlegen Gemäß einer anderen Variante erfüllt an Stelle des Sprengrings ein Gewindestift die Sicherungsfünktion Dazu ist die Überwurfmutter im Bereich ihres in Richtung der Durchgangsbohrung weisenden Randes von einem Gewindestift durchsetzt, der so angebracht ist, daß er beim Erreichen der maximal zulassigen Wegstrecke der Ventilnadel zum Offnen des Ventils am Außengewinde des Ventilgehauses, diese Wegstrecke begrenzend, anliegt Er kann daruberhinaus in jeder Stellung der Ventilnadel zur Arretierung des jeweiligen Ventilzustandes angezogen werdenIn a further preferred embodiment, the valve housing is provided with an external thread and a union nut running thereon, with which the valve needle can be moved along the longitudinal axis of the valve housing to open and close the valve.The union nut projects beyond the external thread in a length which, in the closed valve state, is at least that The maximum permissible distance of the valve needle to fully open the valve corresponds to Area of their edge pointing in the direction of the through bore is equipped with an inner circumferential groove and a snap ring located therein, such that the snap ring is present when the maximum permissible distance of the valve needle is reached after the valve has been completely opened on the external thread, thereby limiting this distance Removal of the valve needle from the valve housing, or at least from the cylindrical valve seat, prevented, so that, if necessary, the valve can be quickly closed again at any time. The snap ring can be removed from the union nut using standard tools. This securing device can be installed almost independently of the valve's installation position are, provided that there is enough space between the external thread of the valve housing and the container on which the valve is located, with a distance of about 1 cm is sufficient. Such a fuse is a common Sic Production by means of a chain or similar considerations According to another variant, instead of the snap ring, a set screw fulfills the securing function.To this end, the union nut is penetrated in the area of its edge pointing in the direction of the through hole by a set screw which is attached in such a way that it reaches the maximum permissible distance the valve needle for opening the valve on the external thread of the valve housing, limiting this distance, is also applied. It can also be tightened in any position of the valve needle to lock the respective valve state

Die Überwurfmutter ist so konzipiert, daß das Venil sowohl mit einem Werkzeug, zum Beispiel mit einem Maulschlüssel, als auch von Hand geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann Die Öffnung mittels Werkzeug bietet sich an, wenn das Ventil für eine manuelle Bedienung zu heiß ist Darüber hinaus hat es sich aber als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Überwurfmutter auf ihrem Außenumfang mit einem Handrad, vorzugsweise aus einem Material, das ein schlechter Wärmeleiter ist, zu versehenThe union nut is designed so that the Venil can be opened and closed both with a tool, for example with an open-end wrench, and by hand. Opening by means of a tool is useful if the valve is too hot for manual operation but it has proven to be advantageous to provide the union nut on its outer circumference with a handwheel, preferably made of a material that is a poor heat conductor
