Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Fluidspender mit einem von einem Betätigungsmechanismus betätigbaren Pumpmechanismus, welcher in einem Spendergehäuse angeordnet ist, wobei eine mit dem Betätigungsmechanismus gekoppelte Zähleinrichtung die Aktionen des Pumpmechanismus erfasst.The present invention relates to a fluid dispenser having an actuating mechanism operable by a pumping mechanism disposed in a dispenser housing, wherein a counter coupled to the actuating mechanism detects the actions of the pumping mechanism.
Aus der
Ein vom Grundprinzip ähnlicher Fluidspender ist aus der
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Fluidspender vorzusehen, welcher eine gute Funktionalität hat und eine Aktionen eines Pumpmechanismus des Fluidspenders erfassende Zähleinrichtung aufweist, die möglichst gut in den Spender integriert ist.The present invention has for its object to provide a fluid dispenser, which has a good functionality and has a actions of a pump mechanism of the fluid dispenser sensing counter that is integrated as well as possible in the dispenser.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst mit einem Fluidspender mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1.The object is achieved according to the invention with a fluid dispenser having the features of claim 1.
Dadurch, dass die Zähleinrichtung an dem auskragenden Auslaufabschnitt vorgesehen ist, befindet sie sich an prominenter Stelle, ist aber trotzdem gut in den Fluidspender integriert. Dies hat ferner den Vorteil, dass der Grundaufbau des Fluidspenders im Wesentlichen so beibehalten werden kann, wie er für einen Fluidspender ohne Zähleinrichtung verwendet wird. Außerdem ist, trotzdem die Zähleinrichtung an dem Auslaufabschnitt vorgesehen ist, ein gutes Arbeiten von Betätigungsmechanismus und Pumpmechanismus möglich, sowie ein gutes Zusammenspiel von Betätigungsmechanismus und Zähleinrichtung möglich.Because the counting device is provided on the projecting outflow section, it is in a prominent position, but nevertheless is well integrated in the fluid dispenser. This also has the advantage that the basic structure of the fluid dispenser can be substantially maintained as it is for a fluid dispenser without counter is used. In addition, despite the counter provided on the outlet portion, good operation of the operating mechanism and the pumping mechanism is possible, and good interaction of the operating mechanism and counter is possible.
Vorteilhafterweise kann die Zähleinrichtung zusammen mit dem Auslaufabschnitt von dem Spendergehäuse abnehmbar ausgebildet sein. So ist die Zähleinrichtung, beispielsweise zu Wartungszwecken leicht zugänglich und kann außerdem zusammen mit dem Auslaufabschnitt leicht ausgetauscht werden.Advantageously, the counter can be designed to be detachable from the dispenser housing together with the outlet section. Thus, the counter is easily accessible for maintenance purposes, for example, and can also be easily replaced together with the spout section.
Besonders bevorzugt kann der Auslaufabschnitt in einer Wartungsstellung einen Zugriff auf eine Rückstellanordnung der Zähleinrichtung freigeben und in einer Bereitschaftsstellung die Rückstellanordnung verdecken. So kann geschultes Personal auf einfache Weise die Zähleinrichtung zurückstellen, während ungeschulte Nutzer des Fluidspenders davon abgehalten werden, die Zähleinrichtung unautorisiert zurückzustellen.Particularly preferably, the outlet section can release access to a reset arrangement of the counter in a maintenance position and cover the reset arrangement in a ready position. Thus, trained personnel can easily reset the counter, while preventing untrained users of the fluid dispenser from returning the counter unauthorized.
Besonders günstig kann die Zähleinrichtung von dem Auslaufabschnitt lösbar vorgesehen sein. So kann die Zähleinrichtung beispielsweise ausgetauscht werden und der Auslaufabschnitt kann weiterverwendet werden.The counting device can be provided detachably from the outlet section in a particularly favorable manner. For example, the counter can be exchanged and the outlet section can continue to be used.
Bevorzugterweise kann die Zähleinrichtung ein Zählergehäuse aufweisen, welches in den Auslaufabschnitt einsetzbar ist und ein Zählwerk aufnimmt. Mit dem Zählergehäuse kann das Zählwerk vor äußeren Einflüssen geschützt werden.Preferably, the counter can have a meter housing, which can be inserted into the outlet section and receives a counter. With the counter housing, the counter can be protected against external influences.
Besonders vorteilhaft kann das Zählergehäuse einen Lichtausschnitt für eine dahinterliegende Anzeige aufweisen. So kann die Anzeige durch das Zählergehäuse abgelesen werden.Particularly advantageously, the meter housing can have a light cutout for a display located behind it. This allows the display to be read through the meter housing.
Besonders günstig kann an dem Zählergehäuse eine Rückstellbetätigungsvorrichtung vorgesehen sein, mit welcher ein Rückstellmittel der Zähleinrichtung auslösbar ist. Auf diese Weise kann das Rückstellmittel indirekt ausgelöst werden.Particularly favorable may be provided on the meter housing a reset actuator, with which a return means of the counter can be triggered. In this way, the return means can be triggered indirectly.
Vorteilhafterweise kann die Zähleinrichtung einen Sensor aufweisen, der eine Bewegung des Betätigungsmechanismus berührungslos, insbesondere durch Annäherung messend ausgebildet ist. Dadurch arbeitet der Sensor verschleißfrei.Advantageously, the counter can have a sensor which is designed to measure without contact, in particular by approaching, a movement of the actuating mechanism. As a result, the sensor works wear-free.
Bevorzugterweise kann an dem Betätigungsmechanismus ein dem Sensor zugeordnetes Markierungsmittel vorgesehen sein, auf welches der Sensor reagierend ausgebildet ist. Das Markierungsmittel markiert die Bewegung des Betätigungsmechanismus für den Sensor.Preferably, a sensor associated with the marking means may be provided on the actuating mechanism, on which the sensor is designed to be responsive. The marking means marks the movement of the actuating mechanism for the sensor.
Besonders günstig kann der Sensor als Reed-Kontakt und das Markierungsmittels ein an dem Betätigungsmechanismus vorgesehenes Magnetelement ausgebildet sein. Wenn sich das Magnetelement relativ zu dem Sensor bewegt, ändert sich das Magnetfeld im Bereich des Sensors, was dieser als Reed-Kontakt erfasst.Particularly advantageously, the sensor can be designed as a reed contact and the marking means a magnetic element provided on the actuating mechanism. When the magnetic element moves relative to the sensor, the magnetic field changes in the region of the sensor, which detects this as a reed contact.
Bevorzugterweise kann einstellbar sein, bei welchem Anteil einer maximal möglichen Bewegung des Betätigungsmechanismus die Zähleinrichtung weiterzählt. So kann sichergestellt werden, dass die Zähleinrichtung erst dann weiterzählt, wenn eine Mindestfluidmenge abgegeben wird.Preferably, it can be adjustable in which proportion of a maximum possible movement of the actuating mechanism, the counter continues to count. Thus, it can be ensured that the counter only continues counting when a minimum amount of fluid is dispensed.
Vorteilhafterweise kann eine Relativlage einstellbar sein, welche ein Sensor der Zähleinrichtung und ein dem Sensor zugeordnetes Markierungsmittel des Betätigungsmechanismus zueinander haben, wenn sich der Betätigungsmechanismus in einer Ausgangsstellung befindet. Hiermit ist beispielsweise ein Auslösezeitpunkt einstellbar, bei welchem die Zähleinrichtung weiterzählt.Advantageously, a relative position can be adjustable, which have a sensor of the counter and a sensor associated with the marking means of the actuating mechanism to each other when the actuating mechanism is in an initial position. Hereby, for example, a triggering time is adjustable at which the counter continues to count.
Besonders günstig kann mit der Zähleinrichtung erfassbar sein, bis zu welchem Anteil einer maximal möglichen Bewegung der Betätigungsmechanismus bewegt wird. Der Bewegungsanteil gibt über eine bei einer Bewegungsaktion tatsächlich geförderte Fluidmenge Aufschluss.Particularly favorable can be detected with the counter, up to what proportion of a maximum possible movement of the actuating mechanism is moved. The proportion of movement gives information about an actually promoted in a movement action amount of fluid.
Besonders bevorzugt können die Bewegungsanteile mit der Zähleinrichtung komulierbar sein. Hieraus kann ermittelt werden, wieviel Fluid bei mehreren, gegebenenfalls auch unvollständigen Betätigungsaktionen in Summe gefördert wurde.Particularly preferably, the motion components can be compiled with the counter. From this it can be determined how much fluid was pumped in several, possibly also incomplete actuation actions in total.
Vorteilhafterweise kann die Zähleinrichtung von dem Auslaufabschnitt lösbar und durch eine Abdeckblende ersetzbar sein. Hierdurch kann der Auslaufabschnitt nach einer Demontage der Zähleinrichtung weiterverwendet werden. Umgekehrt kann auch eine Abdeckblende durch eine Zähleinrichtung ersetzt werden.Advantageously, the counter can be detachable from the outlet section and replaced by a cover panel. As a result, the outlet section can be reused after disassembly of the counter. Conversely, a filler panel can be replaced by a counter.
Separater Schutz wird für den Auslaufabschnitt mit Zähleinrichtung beansprucht, wobei der Auslaufabschnitt an dem Fluidspender lösbar anbringbar sein kann. Der Auslaufabschnitt mit Zähleinrichtung kann dabei gegen einen Auslaufabschnitt ohne Zähleinrichtung austauschbar sein und umgekehrt.Separate protection is claimed for the outlet section with counter, wherein the outlet section may be releasably attachable to the fluid dispenser. The outlet section with counter can be exchangeable against a discharge section without counter and vice versa.

Mit dem Sensor 23 ist die Bewegung des Betätigungsmechanismus 2 berührungslos erfassbar. Dabei erfasst der Sensor 23 ein Entfernen und Annähern eines Markierungsmittels des Betätigungsmechanismus, welches sich bewegt, wenn sich der Betätigungsmechanismus bewegt. In dieser Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Sensor 23 als Reed-Kontakt ausgebildet und das Markierungsmittel als dauermagnetisches Magnetelement 50.
Die Relativlage, welche der Sensor 23 und das Magnetelement 50 haben, wenn sich der Betätigungsmechanismus 2, insbesondere der Bedienhebel 10, in seiner Ausgangsstellung befindet, kann einstellbar sein. Auf diese Weise ist der Auslösezeitpunkt der Zähleinrichtung einstellbar, beispielsweise auf einen Wert von 30%, 50% oder 70% des maximalen Bewegungsweges des Bedienhebels 10 oder des Betätigungsmechanismus 2. Somit werden zu geringe Bewegungen oder Hübe nicht mitgezählt, sondern nur ausreichend große Bewegungen oder Hübe. Zum Einstellen der Relativlage kann beispielsweise ein Schubmechanismus oder eine Rasterung an der Befestigungsvorrichtung 51 vorgesehen sein. Auch wäre es möglich, das Magnetelement 50 auf einer Stellschraube anzubringen.The relative position which the
Außerdem kann mit der Zähleinrichtung erfassbar sein, bis zu welchem Anteil einer maximal möglichen Bewegung oder eines maximal möglichen Hubes der Betätigungsmechanismus oder sein Bedienhebel bewegt wurde. Vorzugsweise kann der Anteil mit Kommastellen angezeigt werden. Besonders vorteilhaft kann alternativ oder zusätzlich mit der Zähleinrichtung die bei der Bewegungsaktion geförderte Fluidmenge bestimmbar sein und in einer Volumeneinheit anzeigbar sein. Des weiteren kann die Zähleinrichtung so ausgebildet sein, dass sie die Bewegungsanteile komuliert. Das komulierte Ergebnis kann beispielsweise in Form einer Zahl mit Kommastellen oder in Form einer Volumenmenge erfasst werden. Wenn beispielsweise bei einem maximalen Hub 2 ml Fluide gefördert werden und zwei unvollständige Hübe ausgeführt werden, einer zu 50% und einer zu 66%, dann wären bei den beiden Betätigungsaktionen 116% des Fluids eines maximalen Hubs gefördert worden. Entsprechend könnte die komulierte Summe den Wert 1,16 haben oder als Volumen den Wert von 2,32 ml.In addition, it can be detected with the counter, up to what proportion of a maximum possible movement or a maximum possible stroke of the actuating mechanism or its operating lever has been moved. Preferably, the proportion can be displayed with decimal places. Particularly advantageously, alternatively or additionally with the counting device, the amount of fluid conveyed during the movement action can be determinable and can be displayed in a volume unit. Furthermore, the counter can be designed so that it compresses the motion components. The compressed result can be detected, for example, in the form of a number with decimal places or in the form of a volume. For example, if at a

Umgekehrt kann ein mit Abdeckblende versehener Auslaufabschnitt zu einem Auslaufabschnitt mit Zähleinrichtung umgerüstet werden.Conversely, a provided with cover panel outlet section can be converted to a discharge section with counter.
Es ist auch möglich, den an einem Fluidspender vorgesehenen Abdeckabschnitt zu entfernen und durch einen Abdeckabschnitt mit Zähleinrichtung oder mit Abdeckblende zu ersetzen.It is also possible to remove the provided on a fluid dispenser cover portion and replaced by a cover portion with counter or with cover.
