Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tilting valve for discharging foam and other media. These valves are used in particular for the discharge of PU foam, but also in the food industry.
  • the known tilt valves have a valve disk which is provided with a container body is crimped.
  • a valve body with a holding opening is in a central Opening held in the valve disk.
  • the valve body also referred to as a fitting has on a side facing away from the valve plate as a valve seat serving sealing surface.
  • a valve element is in the retaining opening of the valve body arranged and has a tubular portion with a Abdichtflansch on an end and inlet openings in the pipe wall near the Abdichtflansch.
  • the sealing flange In the closed position of the valve, the sealing flange is located on the sealing surface and prevents the discharge of the medium to be discharged via the inlet openings in the tubular portion of the valve element.
  • the tilting valve according to the invention according to the preamble of claim 1 has a locking body disposed in the tubular portion of the valve element is and depending on the pressure in the container, the inlet opening in the Valve element releases or at least partially closes. It is the case that With increasing pressure, the inlet opening is increasingly released, thereby at falling pressure the inlet opening in the tubular portion of the valve element increasing in size.
  • the blocking body is an elastic membrane element educated. Due to the pressure prevailing in the container, that will elastic membrane element depending on the strength of the pressure deeper into the outlet channel pressed and thus partially closes the inlet opening depending on the pressure value.
  • the membrane element has a at the cross section of the valve element in the region of the inlet opening adapted closure region and a from the valve element projecting holding area.
  • the holding area preferably has preferably a circumferential flange extending away from the valve element is curved and the closure area in a the release opening releasing Biased position. With the holding area of the closure area is resiliently mounted, wherein the pressure in the interior acts against the spring force.
  • the closure region has a bottom and a cylindrical side wall, wherein the Closing area is open towards the holding area.
  • the valve element has a membrane element receiving cap.
  • the cap secures the holding area of the membrane element on the valve element and has at least one opening, so that the membrane element is subjected to the internal pressure of the container.
  • the cap surrounds the Abdichtflansch at least partially and is locked to this.
  • the inlet opening is formed as a slot, which extends in the axial direction of the valve element. At almost complete discharged medium, the inlet opening is fully released. The released Inlet opening allows for maximum pressure when the pressure drops of the medium. With substantially complete pressurization of the container the elastic membrane element partially closes the inlet opening.
  • valve element has at least four spaced inlet openings.
  • FIG. 1 shows an inventive valve element 10 with a protruding Ventilstem 12 and an integrally formed with this valve member 14, the has a sealing surface 16.
  • the valve element 10 has an outlet opening 18 through which exits the medium to be discharged.
  • the valve element has a patch cap 20 with Passage openings 22.
  • the cap 20 is in a circumferential flange 24, the partially forms the sealing surface 16, locked.
  • the cup-shaped cap 20 has on its inner wall correspondingly shaped locking lugs (not numbered), in a corresponding circumferential recess (not numbered) in the Engage flange 24.
  • the cap 20 has a peripheral shoulder 26, which reduces the inner diameter in the cap.
  • the contact surface 16 is of the surface of the flange 24 and the edge of the cap 20 is formed.
  • valve plate 52 and valve body 54 substantially identical to the valve according to the invention.
  • the Valve element 56 again has a valve stem 58 and a valve member 60.
  • the valve member 60 has a contact surface 62 which is integrally formed.
  • the through-passage 64 closed at the side facing away from the outlet opening 66 side.
  • the sealing surface 62 moves away from the valve body 54 and the pressurized medium passes through the inlet openings 68 in the exit channel 64.
