DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the cosmetic packaging bottle restricting backflow consists of a soft tube packaging bottle 1 and a liquid discharge head 2, and a non-return valve sheet 6 is installed in the liquid discharge head 2. The non-return valve sheet 6 has a one-way flow restriction function, so that the contents of the soft tube packaging bottle 1 are squeezed out in one direction and cannot flow back, preventing the contents from flowing back and causing contamination of the contents of the soft tube packaging bottle 1.
Refer to FIG. 2 . A middle part of the non-return valve sheet 6 is provided with a cross-shaped cutout 61, the non-return valve sheet 6 is closed in the normal state, the non-return valve sheet 6 is squeezed by the contents to open upward and discharge the contents. The flow restriction seat 4 is placed on the mouth of the soft tube packaging bottle 1, and the non-return valve sheet 6 is attached to the upper part of the flow restriction seat 4, the flow restriction seat 4 is provided with a flow restriction channel, and the non-return valve sheet 6 covers the outlet of the flow restriction channel; the bottom of the liquid discharge head 2 has a concave cavity, and the concave cavity part of the liquid discharge head 2 is placed on the flow restriction seat 4, and the inner wall surface of the concave cavity of the liquid discharge head 2 is close to the outer side wall of the flow restriction seat 4. The top surface of the concave cavity of the liquid discharge head 2 is pressed against the circumference of the non-return valve sheet 6, and a liquid discharge cavity 21 is provided in a middle part of the liquid discharge head 2, and the cross-shaped cutout 61 of the non-return valve sheet 6 can be opened in the direction of the liquid discharge cavity 21. Among them, the outer diameter of the liquid discharge cavity 21 is larger than the flow restriction channel, and the cross-shaped cutout 61 of the non-return valve sheet 6 cannot be opened in the direction of the flow restriction channel, which has a one-way flow restriction effect.
In this embodiment, at least one section of the flow restriction channel of the flow restriction seat 4 is a non-linear channel. The process of the contents passing through the flow restriction channel needs to pass through a number of bends, which can slow down the speed of its outflow.
Specifically, by referring to FIGS. 4 and 5 , the bottom of the flow restriction seat 4 is a concave cavity structure, and the flow restriction channel includes a through-port 41 placed in the side wall of the flow restriction seat 4, a side groove channel 42 placed between the outer side wall of the flow restriction seat 4 and the liquid discharge head, and an upper groove channel 43 placed in the upper surface of the flow restriction seat 4; the through-port 41, the side groove channel 42, and the upper groove channel 43 are connected to each other in turn.
In this embodiment, the side groove channel 42 is a spiral structure. The side groove channel 42 is a groove structure placed on the side wall of the flow restriction seat 4, which is combined with the inner wall surface of the concave cavity of the liquid discharge head 2 to form a complete threaded pipe type channel.
The upper groove channel 43 extends from the middle to the edge and is connected to the side groove channel 42. The width of the upper groove channel 43, in a groove structure, is much smaller than the outer diameter of the liquid discharge cavity 21. The width of the upper groove channel 43 is not wide enough to allow the cross-shaped cutout 61 of the non-return valve sheet 6 to open downward, and when the non-return valve sheet 6 is under suction, the cross-shaped cutout 61 presses downward against the upper surface of the flow restriction seat 4 in a closed state.
The non-return valve sheet 6 is made of silicone with a hardness of 70 degrees and good flexibility, and the cross-shaped cutout 61 opens and closes reliably.
The upper part of the liquid discharge head 2 is the liquid discharge column 5, and the inner cavity of the liquid discharge column 5 forms the aforementioned liquid discharge cavity 21, and the liquid discharge cavity 21 is connected to the outside of the liquid discharge column 5.
The mouth of the soft tube packaging bottle 1 is provided with a threaded holder 11, the bottom surface of the threaded holder 11 is provided with a limit platform 12, and a middle part of the limit platform 12 is provided with an opening 121 corresponding to the open concave cavity structure of the bottom surface of the flow restriction seat 4, and the opening 121 is connected to the flow restriction seat 4 and the soft tube packaging bottle. Refer to FIG. 3 . The flow restriction seat 4 and the liquid discharge head 2 are placed inside the threaded holder 11, and the liquid discharge head 2 is placed on the flow restriction seat 4 and then fitted into the threaded holder 11, and the outer wall of the liquid discharge head 2 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the threaded holder 11. In order to further stabilize the combination between the outer wall of the liquid discharge head 2 and the threaded holder 11, a convex ring 22 and a slot 12 are provided between the outer wall of the liquid discharge head 2 and the inner wall of the threaded holder 11. After the liquid discharge head 2 is installed in the threaded holder 11, the slot 12 and the convex ring 22 are correspondingly clamped to each other for a more stable installation, and the slot 12 and the convex ring 22 have an arc-shaped structure for easy installation.
Refer to FIG. 1 . There is an outer cover 3 attached to the outside of the liquid discharge head 2, and the outer cover 3 is screwed to the threaded holder 11. A middle part of the outer cover 3 is provided with a raised plunger 31, and after the outer cover 3 is installed, the plunger 31 closes the outlet port at the upper end of the liquid discharge column 51.
In the detailed description of embodiments, before the non-return valve sheet 6 is used, the cross-shaped cutout 61 is in the bonding state, gas on both sides is sealed. In the first usage, the pressure in the content squeezing process flushes out the cross-shaped cutout 61, ending its bonding state.
When the contents are filled, the contents are filled from the bottom of the soft tube packaging bottle 1. The time required for the contents to enter the through-hole 41, the side groove channel 42, and then the upper groove channel 43 is greater than the time required for the entire cosmetic can to be completed, so the non-return valve sheet not 6 is opened, and its closed state can maximize the effective isolation of the air on the other side of the non-return valve sheet 6 to avoid direct contact between the cosmetic contents and the air and prevent microbial or bacterial contamination. It prevents microbial or bacterial contamination and effectively protects the quality of cosmetics.
Specifically, the groove channel 42 is a semi-circular groove, and the diameter of the groove channel 42 and the through-hole 41 is between 1.3 and 1.34 mm, forming a flow channel with a narrow diameter and a certain resistance. The threaded pipe-type channel formed between the groove channel 42 and the liquid discharge head 2 has more than two coils, with a total length of 50.4 mm. The length of the upper groove channel 43 is 5.09 mm, the length of the through-hole 41 is 2.07 mm, i.e., the total length of the flow restriction channel is 57.56 mm, the length of the threaded pipe channel is similar to the length of the soft tube packaging bottle 1, the contents are filled from the bottom of the soft tube packaging bottle 1, filling the whole soft tube packaging bottle 1 first, and then flowing into the threaded pipe channel. In the filling process, the time for the contents to enter the flow restriction channel and reach the non-return valve sheet 6 is much longer than the time to fill the whole soft tube packaging bottle 1, with enough time to adjust or stop filling, so the non-return valve sheet 6 is not open in the filling process, isolating the air on the other side, avoiding direct contact between the cosmetic contents and air, preventing microbial or bacterial contamination and effectively protecting the quality of cosmetics.
The side groove channel 42 is placed between the outer side wall of the flow restriction seat 4 and the liquid discharge head, and the upper groove channel 43 is placed on the upper surface of the flow restriction seat 4; the through-port 41, the side groove channel 42, and the upper groove channel 43 are connected to each other in turn.
A cosmetic packaging bottle restricting backflow described in the invention has a one-way flow restriction function, so that the contents of the soft tube packaging bottle 1 are extruded in one direction and cannot flow back, preventing the contents from flowing back and causing contamination of the contents of the soft tube packaging bottle 1. The non-return valve sheet 6 has a one-way valve role, the middle is provided with a cross-shaped cutout 61. The non-return valve sheet 6 is normally closed. When the contents are squeezed out, the non-return valve sheet 6 squeezed by the contents will open upward, the contents are discharged. After the stopping of squeezing, the soft tube packaging bottle 1 has a tendency to reset and will suck back the contents, the contents tend to flow back. At this time, the non-return valve sheet 6 is sucked downward against the upper surface of the flow restriction seat 4 to keep it closed and prevent the contents from flowing back. With a spiral flow restriction channel, the contents enter from the side and exit from the top, which can limit the outflow rate of the contents, to squeeze accurately and prevent the contents from splashing and spilling due to excessive force during squeezing, to avoid waste.
With the aforementioned ideal embodiment of the invention as the inspiration, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the scope of the technical idea of the invention. The technical scope of the invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
