Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for dispensing a flowable medium from a dispensing valve having a container in which a container receptacle is provided, in which the container is preferably used inverted, wherein the dispensing valve is actuated by means of a movable element.
  • Such devices are suitable, for example, for accurately dispensing concentrated detergents, which are then usually diluted either in the dispenser itself or externally.
  • fluids but in principle also powdery or free-flowing media are suitable as flowable media. It is even possible that a solid is present in the container, which is washed out by an introduced liquid, especially water, which then contains the fluid medium as a solution, the washed-out substance as an active component.
  • the container has a generally closed dispensing valve, which is opened only when inserted into the housing.
  • a dispensing valve is for example from the EP 1 571 122 known.
  • an actuating part as a movable element is present, for example, in particular a plunger, which engages in the dispensing valve and this can open, whereby the flowable medium flows out of the container.
  • the container will not be compressible but will have relatively stiff walls. Then it is advantageous if by a special design of the dispensing valve and air can penetrate through the same in the container and thus a subsequent flow of the flowable medium is possible.
  • the container is used vertically parallel to itself and inverted, so aligned with its dispensing valve down.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned, in which it is easily and easily possible to use filled container with a flowable medium or exchange after exhaustion. In this case, an unintentional leakage of the flowable medium should be avoided.
  • a pivotable container receptacle is provided in or on the housing.
  • this container receptacle this is (especially a receiving shaft therein) for the insertion of a container more accessible because it is directed towards the user.
  • the user therefore only needs to insert the container into the obliquely forward container receptacle and then pivot it back to the delivery position. This is possible without further aids with a one-hand operation.
  • Particularly preferred embodiments are those in which the pivoting movement with the movable element that opens or closes the dispensing valve, is coupled in motion. It can thus be achieved that, when the container receptacle is pivoted out, the dispensing valve is always closed and thus no unintentional escape of the highly concentrated flowable medium can occur. Only when swinging into the safe Delivery position, in which the container is generally aligned vertically (upside down with discharge valve down), the dispensing valve is opened.
  • a flowable medium has a, for example made of plastic, substantially closed housing 1, which is fastened with its rear side 1a either directly or via suitable mounting means on the wall of a room. Another arrangement, for example, placing on the ground, is also possible.
  • the output of the flowable medium via a flow shown schematically 2. This may for example be a flexible hose. But it is also possible to additionally or alternatively provide a discharge valve.
  • a container receptacle 3 with an upwardly open receiving shaft 23 (see also Fig. 11 ) is used to receive a container 4, which is preferably inverted, so with its dispensing valve facing down, inserted into the container receptacle 3.
  • the container 4 contains the flowable medium, for example a highly concentrated cleaning agent, in particular for a dishwasher. But there are also other flowable media such as free-flowing powder conceivable and possible.
  • the container receptacle 3 is pivotally mounted in or on the housing 1, wherein the Fig. 1 the swung-loading and unloading position for the container 4 shows. Starting from this position then the container receptacle 3 together with inserted container 4 in the direction of arrow 5 in Fig. 1 in the in Fig. 2 shown, preferably vertical dispensing position are pivoted, in which the flowable medium from the container 4 can be removed.
  • the pivoting angle ⁇ needs only less than 45 °, preferably less than 35 °. This does not require too much pivoting movement.
  • control functions described later which are triggered by the pivoting movement (controlling the dispensing valve and controlling the holding elements against lifting of the container), such a limited swivel angle range is easily sufficient.
  • the container itself may preferably be formed substantially cuboid, with flat wall surfaces are formed.
  • the cuboid design facilitates a correct position insertion into the receiving shaft, wherein this is adapted in its inner contour to the outer contour of the container 4. It is sufficient if the container is only partially inserted into the receiving shaft and as it, for example, the Fig. 1 and 2 show at least half of its length protruding from the receiving shaft. This keeps the container and its possible labeling clearly visible. In addition, you can easily attack him on the above range and thus pivot together with the container receptacle 3.
  • end positions of the Verschwenkweges override locking elements of the attacks can be provided which predefine these two end positions but still not prevent that from these two end positions in each case by manual attack pivoting takes place.
  • the container can be easily inserted from the front, with a one-hand operation for insertion and pivoting in the direction of arrow 5 is sufficient.
  • the dispensing valve of the container only in the in Fig. 2 shown position is open, but not in the Fig. 1 illustrated loading and unloading position. This ensures that the container can not be removed when the valve is open, ensuring safe handling even with highly concentrated chemicals (flowable media).
  • FIG. 3 shown representation is again the loading and unloading position, wherein the housing wall is hidden, so that the internal structure of the housing and the pivot axis 6 are visible.
  • the longitudinal center axis 4a of the container extends through the pivot axis 6, which is arranged horizontally and transversely to the longitudinal central axis 4.
  • the Fig. 4 shows the dispensing position in which the container receptacle 3 is pivoted in and the container 4 is substantially perpendicular.
  • the Fig. 5 shows omitting components of the housing 1 and the container receptacle 3 the upside-down container 4 in the container neck 4b a discharge valve 7 is arranged.
  • This dispensing valve 7 can be opened by inserting a movable element 8 into the container neck 4b, whereby flowable medium located in the container can flow out.
  • this outflow first takes place in an intermediate tank 9. From this Sub tank 9 then performs a drain 2 to the outside, to deliver the flowable medium metered.
  • a pump P may be provided in the form of a metering pump. But it is also possible to use the gravity to spend and only vorzug Pin a dispensing valve.
  • Pump and dispensing valve are generally controlled by an electronic control unit 10 and allow a metered dispensing of existing in the container 4 and in the intermediate tank 9 flowable medium.
  • an electronic control unit 10 allows a metered dispensing of existing in the container 4 and in the intermediate tank 9 flowable medium.
  • the intermediate tank the level of which can be displayed, allows the containers to be changed without interrupting the delivery of the medium from the dispenser (buffer tank).
  • the Fig. 6 shows in a sectional view details of the discharge valve 7, which is opened by inserting the movable member 8 in the form of a plunger in the container neck 4b, wherein air can flow.
  • Such dispensing valves are basically already known from the construction ago.
  • the Fig. 6 shows the closed position in which the dispensing valve 7 is closed and neither air nor flowable medium can flow.
  • Fig. 7 and 8th show now including the not shown container receptacle pivoted container in the dispensing position.
  • the movable element is inserted in the form of a plunger in the bottle neck 4b and thus opens the valve.
  • this dispensing valve is in the Fig. 7 and 8th open, with which flowable medium can flow into the intermediate tank 9.
  • the upward arrow indicates how air flows through the discharge valve 7 into the container 4.
  • the preferably designed as a ram movable element 8 is preferably disposed directly on the intermediate tank 9 or integrally formed on this. That is, the sub-tank is moved together with the valve-opening plunger 8.
  • the movement in the direction of the longitudinal center axis 4a is motion-coupled with the pivoting movement of the pivotable container receptacle 3.
  • the intermediate tank 9 is initially mounted linearly displaceable on both sides of the intermediate tank in the container receptacle 3 via a sliding guide 11.
  • the actual movement coupling with the pivotal position of the container receptacle 3 takes place via a control lever 12 whose axis of rotation 12a is fixed to the housing, that is mounted on the housing 1 or an associated component.
  • the opposite axis of rotation 12b is formed on the additional tank 9 or the integrally connected plunger 8.
  • the control lever 12 moves in the direction of arrow 13 in the counterclockwise direction and pushes on the axis of rotation 12b supported on the axis of rotation 12a the additional tank 9 together with plunger 8 upwards in the direction Container neck 4b to ultimately open the valve.
  • This position is in the Fig. 7 and 8th shown.
  • the dispensing valve 7 is opened only when the container receptacle 3 or swung-in container 4 is pivoted in. In the swung-out position, the dispensing valve is closed in any case.
  • holding elements 14 are provided in the Fig. 9 and in Fig. 10 are shown.
  • these holding elements are horizontally movably mounted projections, which are biased by a spring 24 to the container neck 4b out.
  • annular circumferential groove 15 is formed, in which the holding elements formed as projections 14 can engage, as the Fig. 10 shows.
  • the holding elements 14 are movement-coupled with the pivoting movement of the container receptacle 3 in such a way that in the swung-loading and unloading position (for example, according to Fig. 1 ) the retaining elements 14 do not engage in the circumferential groove 15 on the container neck 4b ( Fig. 9 ).
  • the container 4 can be removed or used freely.
  • the container 4 is pivoted together with container receptacle 3a (for example, position according to Fig. 2 ) move the springs 24, the support members 14 in the direction of the container neck 4b and engage in the circumferential groove 15 a.
  • container receptacle 3a for example, position according to Fig. 2
  • the container can not be removed from the container receptacle 3 or the housing 1 in this position. That's important, because in this in Fig. 10 shown position, the dispensing valve is open. Upon removal, highly concentrated flowable medium would flow out.
  • a housing-fixed control cam not shown, which is arranged so that upon pivoting of the container receptacle 3, the holding elements 14 are pushed back against the spring action.
  • Fig. 11 one sees the delivery position in a perspective view, wherein the container 4 is not shown for reasons of clarity. For this one sees the upwardly open receiving shaft 23.
  • the holding elements 14 are extended radially inwardly and keep the inserted container in the circumferential groove the same secured against lifting or removal.
  • the plunger 8 together with additional tank 9 has started up and opens the dispensing valve 7 in the container used.
  • Fig. 11 the multi-membered cover 17 is pushed together.
  • an electronic control unit 10 and other components of the device may be housed, for example, the pump P.
  • the Fig. 12 shows a section through the auxiliary tank 9 which is formed integrally with the movable member or plunger 8. There is provided a top communicating with the dispensing valve 7, not shown, of the container suction tube 18 which extends down to the vicinity of the tank bottom 9a.
  • the tank bottom is at the height T B
  • the lower end of the suction pipe 18 is at the height H FU .
  • the upper end of the suction tube is at the height H FO and thus above the additional tank 9 in the region of the plunger eighth
  • the air inlet into the plunger 8 is at the height H L much higher than the lower edge of the suction pipe H FU .
  • the Fig. 13 shows an L-shaped mounting bracket to which the housing 1 can be fastened by insertion, wherein the one L-leg 19a is formed for example via mounting holes 20 for wall mounting, while the other L-leg 19b is formed via openings 21 for floor mounting. Laterally, reinforcements 22 may be provided to increase the stability of the L-shaped mounting bracket.
