Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spender für ein fließfähiges Medium, mit einem Gehäuse, in dem ein einen unterseitigen Auslass aufweisender Behälter, der an der Oberseite mit einer Aufnahme für einen austauschbaren Vorrat versehen ist, und eine dem Auslass zugeordnete Pumpe angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a dispenser for a flowable medium, comprising a housing in which a container having a lower-side outlet, which is provided at the top with a receptacle for a replaceable stock, and a pump associated with the outlet are arranged.

Derartige Spender sind in einer Vielzahl von Ausführungen bereits bekannt und dienen dazu, das im Vorrat enthaltene Medium in Portionen abzugeben. Geht der Vorrat zur Neige, so steht im Behälter noch eine bestimmte Menge zur Abgabe zur Verfügung, bis der Vorrat, beispielsweise eine Flasche od. dgl. getauscht worden ist. Nach der EP 116 812 wird mittels eines den Füllstand im Behälter erfassenden Schwimmers angezeigt, dass der Vorrat aufgebraucht ist.Such dispensers are already known in a variety of designs and serve to deliver the medium contained in the supply in portions. If the supply is running low, so is in the container still a certain amount for delivery available until the stock, for example, a bottle od. Like. Has been exchanged. After EP 116 812 is indicated by means of a level in the container detecting float that the stock is used up.

Aus der WO 2001/52709 ist ein Spender der eingangs genannten Art bekannt. Dieser Spender enthält alle Merkmale Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1. Dieses Dokument zeigt einen Zwischenbehälter, an dessen Auslass eine Schlauchpumpe mittels eines Klemmflansches kraftschlüssig fixiert ist. Eine Abnahme des Zwischenbehälters ohne Pumpe ist nicht beabsichtigt und ohne Lösung des Klemmflansches bzw. Kraftschlusses auch nicht möglich. Die Abgabeöffnung im Anschluss an die Pumpe enthält ein Ventil, das, wenn die Pumpe nicht betätigt wird, immer verschlossen ist. Der Zwischenbehälter enthält ein Ventil am Einlass, das sich bei Abnahme der Vorratsflasche schließt, um Eindringen von Schmutz zu vermeiden. In einfacher Weise ohne Zerlegung kann der Zwischenbehälter nur mit Pumpe aus dem Spender entnommen werden.From the WO 2001/52709 a dispenser of the type mentioned is known. This dispenser contains all features of the preamble of claim 1. This document shows an intermediate container, at the outlet of a peristaltic pump by means of a clamping flange is fixed non-positively. A decrease of the intermediate container without pump is not intended and without solution of the clamping flange or frictional connection also not possible. The discharge port following the pump contains a valve which, when the pump is not actuated, is always closed. The surge tank contains a valve at the inlet that closes when the supply bottle is removed to prevent dirt from entering. In a simple way without disassembly of the intermediate container can be removed only with pump from the dispenser.

Unter einem fließfähigen Medium werden dabei flüssige, pastöse, gelartige, gegebenenfalls auch pulvrige Massen verstanden, die mittels einer Pumpe gefördert werden können, wobei dies Seifen, Reinigungsmittel, Desinfektionsmittel, Pflegemittel wie Hautcreme oder Zahnpasta, aber auch Nahrungsmittel, wie Senf oder Ketchup sein können.Under a flowable medium are liquid, pasty, gelatinous, possibly also powdery masses understood that can be funded by a pump, which may be soaps, detergents, disinfectants, care products such as skin cream or toothpaste, but also foods such as mustard or ketchup ,

Alle diese Mittel neigen zu Ablagerungen in strömungsarmen bzw. mit Luft in Kontakt kommenden Bereichen innerhalb des Behälters und der Pumpe, die von Zeit zu Zeit entfernt werden sollten, um die Funktion nicht zu beeinträchtigen. Der Spender muss hiefür zerlegt und gespült werden, wobei das im Behälter enthaltene Medium zumindest teilweise verloren geht.All of these agents tend to deposit in low-flow or air-contacting areas within the container and the pump, which should be removed from time to time so as not to interfere with the function. The dispenser must be disassembled and rinsed for this purpose, wherein the medium contained in the container is at least partially lost.

Die Erfindung hat es sich daher zur Aufgabe gestellt, einen Spender der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem Service und Reinigung erleichtert wird und möglichst wenig Medium verloren geht.The invention has therefore set itself the task of creating a dispenser of the type mentioned in the service and cleaning is facilitated and as little as possible medium is lost.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass im Auslass des Behälters ein sich bei seiner Entnahme schließendes Ventil vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, this is achieved by providing a valve which closes when it is withdrawn in the outlet of the container.

Auf diese Weise kann, wenn eine Reinigung des Gerätes ansteht, der Behälter aus dem Spender entnommen werden, ohne dass das enthaltene Medium ausrinnt bzw. tropft, da das Ventil die Austrittsöffnung schließt. Ebenso kann auch der Behälter selbst einfacher gereinigt oder entleert werden, beispielsweise, wenn das Produkt im Vorrat gewechselt wird, um Vermischungen mit einem Rest im Behälter zu verhindern. Auch hiefür ist es günstig, wenn der Behälterauslass nicht tropft und das Gerät beim Entnehmen verunreinigt.In this way, when a cleaning of the device is pending, the container can be removed from the dispenser without the contained medium drains or dripping, since the valve closes the outlet opening. Likewise, the container itself may be more easily cleaned or emptied, for example, when the product is changed in the supply to prevent mixing with a residue in the container. Again, it is beneficial if the container outlet does not drip and contaminate the device when removing.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass zwischen dem Behälter und einem Grundkörper des Gehäuses Steckführungselemente vorgesehen sind, wobei vorzugsweise durch ein vom Grundkörper hochstehendes, hohles Steckführungselement, das bei eingesetztem Behälter durch den im Auslass angeordneten Ventilsitz des Ventils in den Behälter ragt, ein Einlasskanal zur Pumpe führt. Der Ventilkörper ist daher vom Ventilsitz hochgehalten. Der Ventilkörper ist vorzugsweise eine Kugel oder ein Kegel, wobei bevorzugt weiters vorgesehen ist, dass der obere Rand des Einlasskanals, auf dem die Kugel aufliegt, seitliche Ausnehmungen aufweist, damit das Medium bei geöffnetem Ventil aus dem Behälter zur Pumpe fließen kann. Um im geöffneten Zustand ein ungewolltes Ausfließen zu verhindern, weist der Auslass im unteren Bereich einen Dichtring auf, der zum Umfang des Einlasskanals dichtet.In a preferred embodiment it is provided that plug-in guide elements are provided between the container and a base body of the housing, preferably by an upstanding from the base, hollow plug guide element which protrudes when the container inserted through the arranged in the outlet valve seat of the valve into the container, an inlet channel leads to the pump. The valve body is therefore held up by the valve seat. The valve body is preferably a ball or a cone, wherein it is preferably further provided that the upper edge of the inlet channel, on which the ball rests, has lateral recesses, so that the medium can flow with the valve open from the container to the pump. In order to prevent accidental leakage in the open state, the outlet has a sealing ring in the lower area, which seals to the circumference of the inlet channel.

Die oberseitige Aufnahme für den austauschbaren Vorrat ist insbesondere an einem verschweißten oder abnehmbaren Deckel des Behälters angeordnet. Die Unterseite des Deckels kann ein Widerlager für die Ventilfeder bilden. Als Ventilfeder eignet sich vorzugsweise eine Schraubenfeder, die auf einen vom Deckel nach unten ragenden Dorn aufgesteckt ist und gegen den Ventilkörper drückt. Wird der Behälter angehoben, legt sich zuerst der Ventilkörper in den Ventilsitz und verschließt den Behälter. Beim weiteren Anheben gleitet der Einlasskanal aus dem Dichtring im Auslass.The upper-side receptacle for the replaceable stock is in particular arranged on a welded or removable cover of the container. The bottom of the lid can form an abutment for the valve spring. As a valve spring is preferably a coil spring, which is attached to a lid projecting downwardly from the mandrel and presses against the valve body. When the container is lifted, first the valve body lays in the valve seat and closes the container. Upon further lifting, the inlet duct slides out of the sealing ring in the outlet.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung ist dem Behälter eine Einrichtung zum Erfassen und Anzeigen des Füllstandes des Mediums zugeordnet. Die Einrichtung kann beispielsweise einen im Medium vorgesehenen Schwimmer und ein Sichtfenster im Behälter umfassen, sodass der Füllstand abgelesen werden kann. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung, die beispielsweise bei einem Spender mit einer elektrisch angetriebenen Pumpe verwendet werden kann, kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Einrichtung zum Erfassen des Füllstandes einen im Behälter angeordneten Schwimmer aufweist, dem ein Permanentmagnet zugeordnet ist, wobei außerhalb des Behälters ein mit dem Permanentmagneten zusammenwirkender Reed-Kontakt oder Hall-Sensor vorgesehen ist. Über den Reed-Kontakt bzw. den Hall-Sensor kann ein Stromkreis geschlossen und beispielsweise eine optische und/oder akustische Anzeige aktiviert werden.In a further preferred embodiment, the container is associated with a device for detecting and displaying the level of the medium. The device may include, for example, a float provided in the medium and a viewing window in the container, so that the level can be read. In a preferred embodiment, which can be used for example in a dispenser with an electrically driven pump, it can be provided that the means for detecting the level has a float arranged in the container, which is associated with a permanent magnet, wherein outside of the container with a Permanent magnet cooperating reed contact or Hall sensor is provided. A circuit can be closed via the reed contact or the Hall sensor and, for example, an optical and / or acoustic display can be activated.

Nachstehend wird nun die Erfindung anhand der Figuren der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

Ein Spender weist ein Gehäuse 1 auf, in dessen oberen Bereich ein Vorrat 20 in eine flüssigkeitsdichte Aufnahme 10 austauschbar eingesetzt ist. Im unteren Bereich ist ein kompakter Arbeitsblock vorgesehen, in dem alle für die Funktion erforderlichen Elemente zusammengefasst sind. Der Arbeitsblock enthält einen Behälter 3, aus dem eine Pumpe 17 Medium ansaugt und durch eine Dosieröffnung 11 abgibt. Wenn der Spender zur Abgabe von Seife vorgesehen ist, kann der Arbeitsblock weiters auch eine Luftpumpe enthalten, die Luft ansaugt und über eine Luftleitung einer Schäumeinrichtung zuführt, in der sie mit der von der Seifenpumpe geförderten Seife vermischt wird. Die verwendeten Pumpen weisen bevorzugt jeweils einen elektrischen Antrieb, insbesondere einen Gleichstrommotor auf, dessen Drehzahl direkt proportional zur Motorspannung ist.A dispenser has a housing 1, in the upper region of a supply 20 is inserted into a liquid-tight receptacle 10 interchangeable. In the lower area a compact working block is provided, in which all elements required for the function are combined. The working block contains a container 3, from which a pump 17 sucks medium and discharges through a metering opening 11. Further, when the dispenser is for dispensing soap, the working block may also include an air pump that draws air and supplies via an air line to a frothing device in which it is mixed with the soap pumped by the soap pump. The pumps used preferably each have an electric drive, in particular a DC motor whose speed is directly proportional to the motor voltage.

Im Detail zeigen die Vertikalschnitte der Fig. 2 bzw. 3 einen Grundkörper 2, von dem stift - oder zapfenförmige Führungselemente 4 hoch stehen, wobei ein Führungselement 4 hohl ist und als Einlasskanal 12 zur nicht gezeigten Pumpe ausgebildet ist. Der Behälter 3 ist mit hülsenförmigen Führungselementen 4' versehen, sodass er von oben auf den Grundkörper 2 aufgesteckt und nach oben vom Grundkörper 2 abgenommen werden kann, wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist (Pfeil A). Der Behälter 3 weist einen Deckel 15 auf, an dem die Aufnahme 10 für den Vorrat 20 ausgebildet ist, wobei der Vorrat 20 bevorzugt einen dünnwandigen Kunststoffbeutel aufweist, der von vorne dichtend in die Aufnahme 10 eingeschoben ist.The vertical sections of the Fig. 2 or 3 a base body 2, from which pin - or pin-shaped guide elements 4 are high, wherein a guide member 4 is hollow and is formed as an inlet channel 12 to the pump, not shown. The container 3 is provided with sleeve-shaped guide elements 4 ', so that it can be plugged from above onto the base body 2 and removed upward from the base body 2, as seen from Fig. 3 is apparent (arrow A). The container 3 has a lid 15, on which the receptacle 10 for the supply 20 is formed, wherein the supply 20 preferably has a thin-walled plastic bag, which is inserted from the front sealingly into the receptacle 10.

Das enthaltene Medium fließt in den Behälter 3. Der Behälter 3 ist an der tiefsten Stelle mit einem Auslass 5 versehen, durch den, wie Fig. 2 zeigt, der Einlasskanal 12 zur Pumpe 17 in das Innere des Behälters 3 ragt, wobei ein Dichtring 14 zur Abdichtung des Einlasskanals 12 vorgesehen ist. Die Pumpe 17 kann daher Medium ansaugen und durch die Dosieröffnung 11 abgeben. Beim dargestellten Spender für Seife oder Seifenschaum erfolgt dies bevorzugt berührungslos durch eine nicht gezeigte Sensorik und Steuerung, es könnte aber ebenso eine mechanische Betätigung über einen Hebel od. dgl. vorgesehen sein.The contained medium flows into the container 3. The container 3 is provided at the lowest point with an outlet 5, through which, as Fig. 2 shows the inlet channel 12 to the pump 17 projects into the interior of the container 3, wherein a sealing ring 14 is provided for sealing the inlet channel 12. The pump 17 can therefore suck in medium and deliver it through the metering opening 11. In the dispenser for soap or soap foam shown, this is preferably done without contact by a sensor and control, not shown, but it could also od a mechanical operation via a lever. Like. Be provided.

Vom Deckel 15 steht oberhalb des Auslasses 5 ein Dorn 16 nach unten, auf dem eine Feder 8 angeordnet ist. Im Auslass 5 ist ein Ventil 6 vorgesehen, das einen von der Feder 8 in den Ventilsitz 9 beaufschlagten Ventilkörper 7 aufweist. Der Ventilkörper 7 sitzt bei aufgestecktem Behälter 3 gemäß Fig. 2 auf dem oberen Rand des in den Behälter 3 hochstehenden Einlasskanals 12 auf, wobei die Feder 8 stärker komprimiert ist. Damit der Ventilkörper 7 in dieser Stellung das Abfließen des Mediums aus dem Behälter 3 zur Pumpe 17 nicht behindert, sind am oberen Rand des Einlasskanals 12 umfangseitige Ausnehmungen 13 ausgebildet.From the lid 15 is above the outlet 5, a mandrel 16 down, on which a spring 8 is arranged. In the outlet 5, a valve 6 is provided, which has an acted upon by the spring 8 in the valve seat 9 valve body 7. The valve body 7 sits in plugged container 3 according to Fig. 2 on the upper edge of the container 3 in the upstanding inlet channel 12, wherein the spring 8 is more compressed. So that the valve body 7 does not obstruct the outflow of the medium from the container 3 to the pump 17 in this position, peripheral recesses 13 are formed on the upper edge of the inlet channel 12.

Wird der Behälter 3 vom Grundkörper 2 (mit oder ohne Vorrat) abgenommen (Pfeil A, Fig. 3), so gleitet der Einlasskanal 12 im Auslass 5 des Behälters 3 nach unten und der Ventilkörper 7 wird in den im Auslass 5 gebildeten Ventilsitz 9 gedrückt, sodass kein weiteres Medium ausfließen kann bzw. ein Nachtropfen verhindert wird. Erst beim weiteren Anheben verlässt der Einlasskanal 12 den Dichtring 14 im Auslass 5. Der entnommene Behälter 3 kann, wenn gewünscht, restentleert werden, beispielsweise durch Umdrehen des Behälters, sodass der Rest des Mediums in den dann nach unten hängenden Vorrat zurückfließt, und nach Abnahme des Vorrats gereinigt bzw. bei Beschädigungen auch ausgetauscht werden. Sobald der bzw. ein neuer Behälter 3 wieder aufgesteckt wird, dichtet zuerst der Einlasskanal 12 über die Ringdichtung 14 zum Auslass 5 ab, und anschließend drückt der Einlasskanal 12 den Ventilkörper 7 wieder nach oben in die Stellung nach Fig. 2.If the container 3 is removed from the main body 2 (with or without supply) (arrow A, Fig. 3 ), so the inlet channel 12 slides in the outlet 5 of the container 3 down and the valve body 7 is pressed into the valve seat 9 formed in the outlet 5, so that no further medium can flow out or dripping is prevented. Only when further lifting the inlet channel 12 leaves the sealing ring 14 in the outlet 5. The removed container 3 can, if desired, be emptied, for example by turning the container so that the rest of the medium flows back into the then hanging down supply, and after removal the stock cleaned or replaced in case of damage. As soon as the or a new container 3 is replaced, the inlet channel 12 first seals via the ring seal 14 to the outlet 5, and then the inlet channel 12 again pushes the valve body 7 upwards into the position Fig. 2 ,

Aus dem Vorrat 20 fließt Medium in den Behälter 3, bis er aufgebraucht ist. Ab diesem Moment steht nur noch das im Behälter 3 enthaltene Medium zur Verfügung, sodass der Vorrat 20 bei weiterer Abgabe von Medium getauscht werden kann. Zur Anzeige des Aufbrauchs des Vorrats 20 kann der Behälter 3 ein vorderes Sichtfenster aufweisen, durch das der Füllstand des Mediums direkt ersichtlich ist. Es kann aber auch im Behälter 3, wie dargestellt, ein an einem um eine Achse 23 drehbaren Arm ein Schwimmer 18 vorgesehen sein, dem eine von außen sichtbare Anzeige zugeordnet ist. Wenn der Spender elektrisch betrieben wird und somit eine interne Stromquelle beinhaltet bzw. an eine externe Stromquelle angeschlossen ist, kann auch die Füllstandserfassung und deren Anzeige unter Verwendung elektrischer Mittel erfolgen. Das Lager für den Schwimmer 18 kann ebenfalls vom Deckel 15 nach unten abstehen. Der Schwimmer 18 kann beispielsweise mit einem Permanentmagneten 19 bestückt sein, der mit einem äußeren Reed-Kontakt 21, einem Hall-Sensor od. dgl. berührungslos zusammenwirkt. Dieser ist beispielsweise an einer Steuerplatine vorgesehen, von der eine äußere optische und/oder akustische Anzeige 22 (Fig. 1) angesteuert werden kann. Die Abnahme des Behälters 3 wird durch diese berührungslose Art der Informationsübertragung nicht behindert.From the supply 20 medium flows into the container 3 until it is used up. From this moment, only the medium contained in the container 3 is available, so that the stock 20 can be exchanged with further delivery of medium. To display the Aufbrauchs the supply 20, the container 3 may have a front viewing window, through which the level of the medium is directly visible. However, it can also be provided in the container 3, as shown, on a pivotable about an axis 23 arm a float 18, which is associated with a visible from the outside display. If the dispenser is electrically operated and thus contains an internal power source or is connected to an external power source, the level detection and their display can be done using electrical means. The bearing for the float 18 can also protrude from the lid 15 down. The float 18 may, for example, be equipped with a permanent magnet 19, which interacts with an outer reed contact 21, a Hall sensor or the like, without contact. This is for example provided on a control board from which an external optical and / or acoustic display 22 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) can be controlled. The decrease of the container 3 is not hindered by this non-contact type of information transmission.
