Abstract

The invention relates to a device for dosing liquid from a liquid-receiving element ( 2 ), in which the liquid-receiving element ( 2 ) comprises an outlet valve ( 1 ), and a dosing system is available, said dosing system consisting of a first actuating wing ( 4 ) and a second actuating wing ( 5 ), which are arranged around the liquid-receiving element ( 2 ) and can be moved in relation to each other such that they compress the liquid-receiving element ( 2 ), a mechanical dosing stop being available.

Claims (14)

1. Device for dosing liquid from a liquid intake ( 2 ), wherein the liquid intake ( 2 ) comprises an outlet valve ( 1 ), wherein, a dosing system is provided, wherein the dosing system comprises a first actuating blade ( 4 ) and a second actuating blade ( 5 ) which are arranged around the liquid intake ( 2 ) and can be moved relative to one another in a compressive manner, wherein the first actuating blade ( 4 ) has a first pressure piston ( 28 ) and the second actuating blade ( 5 ) has a second pressure piston ( 32 ), wherein an output chamber ( 27 ) is arranged so as to be able to be compressed by the first and second pressure pistons ( 28 , 32 ) which are movably mounted relative to one another and arranged in opposition to each other, and the first and second pressure pistons ( 28 , 32 ) are resettably arranged by at least one spring element ( 34 , 39 , 39 . 1 ), wherein each of the first pressure piston ( 28 ) and the second pressure piston ( 32 ) comprises a plunger ( 29 , 29 . 1 ), a rod end ( 30 , 30 . 1 ) mounted to one of the first blade ( 4 ) and the second blade ( 5 ), and a spring element of the at least one spring element, and further comprising a valve clip ( 25 ) for securing the valve ( 1 ) to the liquid intake ( 2 ), wherein the valve clip ( 25 ) comprises openings ( 26 . 1 , 26 . 2 ) allowing communication between the liquid intake ( 2 ) and the output chamber ( 27 ) when the first and second pressure pistons ( 28 , 32 ) are in an open position.

2. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the first actuating blade ( 4 ) and the second actuating blade ( 5 ) are connected via a film hinge ( 3 ) and are pivotable relative to one another.

3. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the first actuating blade ( 4 ) and the second actuating blade ( 5 ) have an inner wall ( 6 ), the first actuating blade ( 4 ) having a first finger support ( 7 ) and the second actuating blade ( 5 ) having a second finger support ( 8 ).

4. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the first actuating blade ( 4 ) comprises one of a first connecting bar ( 9 ) and a second connecting bar ( 10 ), and the second actuating blade ( 5 ) comprises the other of the first connecting bar ( 9 ) and the second connecting bar ( 10 ).

5. Device according to claim 4 , wherein the first connecting bar ( 9 ) has a guide pin ( 11 ) and the second connecting bar ( 10 ) has an elongated hole ( 12 ) receiving the guide pin ( 11 ).

6. Device according to claim 1 , further comprising a protective cap ( 17 ) with pockets ( 18 ).

7. Device according to claim 1 , wherein two finger actuating flanges ( 14 ) are arranged at an upper end of a slotted sleeve ( 13 ) encasing the valve intake ( 2 ).

8. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating blades ( 4 , 5 ) are in contact with a recess ( 20 ) of the liquid intake ( 2 ) in a contour pre-stressed manner.

9. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating blades ( 4 , 5 ), are movably connected via a film hinge ( 3 ), and are fixed and movably held together via connecting bars ( 9 , 10 ) and by a guide pin ( 11 ), which is arranged in an elongated hole ( 12 ) of one connecting bar ( 10 ) of the connecting bars ( 9 , 10 ).

10. Device according to claim 1 , wherein a conically round pin ( 21 ) is provided, which is located on an inner wall ( 6 ) of the actuating blades ( 4 , 5 ), wherein upon actuation via finger actuating flanges ( 14 ) with finger supports ( 7 , 8 ) a vent hole ( 22 ) in a wall of the liquid intake ( 2 ) is closed by the finger supports ( 7 , 8 ) and in a starting position releases the hole again for ventilation.

11. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one spring element comprises a plurality of partial springs, and the pistons are resettably arranged by the plurality of partial springs ( 39 , 39 . 1 ) wherein each piston is acted upon by one partial spring of the plurality of partial springs.

12. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the valve ( 1 ) has a sealing lip ( 36 ) which discharges the medium from a discharge channel ( 35 ) to the outside.

13. Device according to claim 12 , wherein the discharge channel ( 35 ) has a 90° turn ( 38 ) in an area of the sealing lip ( 36 ) and angled towards the sealing lip ( 36 ).

14. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second actuating blades ( 4 , 5 ) are moveable relative to each other between an open position where they are spaced away from each other and the liquid intake ( 2 ), and a closed position wherein they are moved from the open position toward each other and the liquid intake ( 2 ), wherein movement from the open position to the closed position presses fluid from output chamber ( 27 ) to a discharge ( 37 ) of the nozzle ( 1 ), and wherein movement from the closed position to the open position draws fluid from the liquid intake ( 2 ) into the output chamber ( 27 ).
