Patent Application
20220119190
The present application relates to the technical filed of packaging, in particular to an electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste.
It is well-known that in the existing packaging technology, paste daily chemical products such as toothpaste and face cream are generally packaged in a tube, and can be used after a tube cover is opened and a paste is squeezed outwards. However, it is often inconvenient to squeeze the tube and difficult to fully squeeze out the paste, which results serious waste.
Therefore, it is of great significance to study a packaging bottle for paste, which is convenient and flexible to use and avoids waste.
The present application aims to solve the problem that a packaging tube for paste in the existing technology is inconvenient to squeeze by hand and the paste is difficult to squeeze out fully, and provides an electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste.
In order to achieve the above objects, the present application adopts the following technical solution.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste, including a columnar storage cavity and a piston electric driving device provided therein. One end of the storage cavity is a discharge port, and the other end is sealed by a piston. The piston electric driving device is used for driving the piston to move a distance towards the discharge port and then stop moving.
As the preferred solutions:
the electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, includes four structures: a) an integral packaging tube, b) a two-segment packaging tube, c) an integral push-rod type packaging tube and d) a three-segment push-rod type packaging tube. These four kinds of structures will be described in detail below.
The description of a) integral packaging tube is as follows.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, which is the integral packaging tube, and includes a tube body. The tube body includes a nozzle segment, a main body segment and a tail segment. A first end of the nozzle segment is provided with an opening, and a second end of the nozzle segment is connected with the first end of the main body segment, and the second end of the main body segment is connected with the first end of the tail segment. The nozzle segment and the main body segment are formed integrally. Internal cavities of the nozzle segment and the main body segment together constitute the storage cavity, and the opening at the first end of the nozzle segment is the discharge port. The piston is provided with the main body segment, and they are in an interference fit. The piston electric driving device, which is connected with the tail segment, is used for driving the piston to move a distance towards the nozzle segment and then stop moving. When the integral packaging tube in the present application is used, it can be achieved that the piston moves a distance from the tail segment to the nozzle segment and then stops moving by opening the piston electric driving device provided in the tail segment. Because the interference fit between the piston and the main body, a certain amount of filler in the tube can be squeezed out. During the whole process, it only needs to turn on the switch of the piston electric driving device, which effectively solves the problem of inconvenient operation and not-fully squeezing out in the traditional manual squeezing method.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which a surface of the piston facing away from the nozzle segment forms a part of a wall surface of an airtight chamber. The piston electric driving device includes a pressurization device, a pressure relief device and a control device. The pressurization device is used for increasing pressure in the airtight chamber, and the pressure relief device is used for releasing the pressure in the airtight chamber, and the control device is used for controlling the opening and closing of the pressurization device and the pressure relief device. When the control device is in a first working state, the pressure relief device is closed to stop releasing pressure, and the pressurization device is opened to start increasing pressure. When the control device is in a second working state, the pressure relief device is opened to start releasing pressure, and the pressurization device is closed to stop increasing pressure. Because the piston is pushed to move by increasing pressure in the present application, it needs to rapidly release the pressure in the present application. Otherwise, when it needs to stop squeezing the filler out, the piston will continue to move up, so that it is unable to stop squeezing the filler out and results in a lot of waste.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which a baffle is provided at or near the first end of the tail segment, and the baffle, the piston and the tube body enclose the airtight chamber. The airtight chamber is not necessarily surrounded by the baffle, the piston and the tube body together. For example, in an original state, the baffle contacts with the piston, and the piston and the baffle can directly enclose the airtight chamber. With the piston moving up, the piston moves away from the baffle. At this time, the tube body begins to participate in the structure of the airtight chamber, and the baffle, the piston and the tube body together enclose the airtight chamber.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the piston electric driving device is provided in the tail segment. The piston electric driving device mainly functions by increasing the pressure in the airtight chamber and releasing the pressure in time, thus the piston electric driving device can be provided outside of the tail segment, as long as it can be effectively communicated with the airtight chamber. However, the overall structure has a large volume, so that it is not easy to be store, and the piston electric driving device is easy to be damaged when placed outside. Therefore, it is preferred to provide the piston electric driving device in the tail segment.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the pressurization device is a booster pump, which is a gas booster pump or a liquid booster pump. The pressure relief device is a pressure relief valve. Only some common pressurization devices and pressure relief devices are listed here, and other devices that can play functions of pressure increasing and pressure releasing also can be applied in the present application.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the baffle is provided with a drain inlet and a drain outlet. The second end of the tail segment is an opening end, or a closing end provided with a through hole; or the second end of the tail segment is the closing end, and a tube wall of the tail segment is provided with the through hole at the same time. The tail segment is provided in this way to mainly ensure its communication with the outside, so that fluid in the airtight chamber can be discharged in time during pressure relief. If the tail segment is airtight space, the fluid in the airtight chamber will flow to the tail segment. With the increasing of the pressure in the tail segment, it is difficult to continue to discharge the fluid in the airtight chamber. An outlet of the booster pump is communicated with the drain inlet, and the pressure relief valve is used for controlling the opening and closing of the drain outlet.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the control unit mainly includes a power supply unit and a control unit, which are connected with each other. The power supply unit is an electric source or a battery, and used to supply power to the pressurization device and the pressure relief device. The control unit is connected with the pressurization device and the pressure relief device, and used for controlling a connection state of the power supply unit with the pressurization device and the pressure relief device. The connection state is connected or disconnected, so that the opening and closing of the pressurization device and the pressure relief device are controlled.
The control unit includes an induction disk, an integrated circuit IC2 and a field effect transistor Q1. When the induction disk receives induction, the integrated circuit IC2 and the field effect transistor Q1 are controlled to connect the power supply unit with the pressurization device and the pressure relief device, so as to control to open the pressurization device and close the pressure relief device. When the induction disk does not receive the induction, the integrated circuit IC2 and the field effect transistor Q1 are controlled to disconnect the power supply unit with the driving device, so as to control to close the pressurization device and open the pressure relief device.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the electric source or the battery is connected with a charging circuit. The control unit is provided at the tail segment, or also can be provided at the main body segment or the nozzle segment. The main body segment and the nozzle segment are formed integrally, and both are detachably connected with the tail segment. Therefore, when the control unit is provided at the main body segment or the nozzle segment, special conductive materials need to be respectively provided at the main body segment, the nozzle segment and the tail segment, so that when the main body segment and the nozzle segment are connected with the tail segment, the conductive materials are conducted, and the control unit is respectively connected with the power supply unit, the pressurization device and the pressure relief device.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the second end of the main body segment is detachably connected with the first end of the tail segment. The detachable connection between the main body segment and the tail segment can help to reduce the cost. The filler is filled in the main body segment, when the filler is exhausted, the main body segment needs to be replaced. Because the nozzle segment and the main body segment are formed integrally, the nozzle segment needs to be replaced at the same time. If the tail segment and the main body segment are formed integrally, the tail segment and the piston electric driving device in the tail segment also need to be replaced at the same time. The cost is higher. However, when the tail segment is designed to be detachably connected with the main body segment, there is no need to replace the tail segment and the piston electric driving device, which greatly reduces the cost.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, also includes a tube cover and a tube cap. The tube cover includes a lower cover and an upper cover, and the lower cover is hollow tubular shape with both ends open, and the upper cover and the tube cap are hollow tubular shape with one end open and the other end closed. The upper cover is rotatably connected with the lower cover, which is detachably connected with the nozzle segment, and the tube cap is detachably connected with a connection part between the nozzle segment and the main body segment.
The description of b) two-segment packaging tube is as follows.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, which is the two-segment packaging tube, includes the tube body. The tube body includes a nozzle segment, the main body segment and the tail segment. The first end of the nozzle segment is provided with the opening, and the second end of the nozzle segment is connected with the first end of the main body segment, and the second end of the main body segment is connected with the first end of the tail segment. The nozzle segment is detachably connected with the main body segment. An inner wall of the nozzle segment extends from the second end of the nozzle segment to the second end of the main body segment to form an extension tube provided in the main body segment. The internal cavities of the nozzle segment and the extension tube together constitute the storage cavity, and the opening at the first end of the nozzle segment is the discharge port. The piston is provided in the extension tube, and the piston and the extension tube form an interference fit. The piston electric driving device, which is connected with the tail segment, is used for driving the piston to move a distance towards the nozzle segment and then stop moving.
The packaging tube in the present application includes two segments. A first segment is the whole forming by connecting the nozzle segment of the tube body with the extension tube. A second segment is the whole forming by connecting the main body segment and the tail segment of the tube body. The two-segment structure has great popularization value. The first segment is used to accommodate the filler, and the second segment is used for the mounting of the electric driving device. When the filler in the first segment is exhausted, only need to separate the first segment from the second segment, and then replace the first segment to get a new product. During repeated use, the second segment with higher cost does not need to be replaced, and only the first segment with lower cost needs to be replaced, which greatly reduces the cost. The using process of the two-segment packaging tube is the same as that of the integral packaging tube.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the surface of the piston facing away from the nozzle segment forms a part of the wall surface of the airtight chamber. The piston electric driving device includes the pressurization device, the pressure relief device and the control device. The pressurization device is used for increasing the pressure in the airtight chamber, and the pressure relief device is used for releasing the pressure in the airtight chamber, and the control device is used for controlling the opening and closing of the pressurization device and the pressure relief device. When the control device is in a first working state, the pressure relief device is closed to stop releasing the pressure, and the pressurization device is opened to start increasing the pressure. When the control device is in a second working state, the pressure relief device is opened to start releasing the pressure, and the pressurization device is closed to stop increasing the pressure. Because the piston is pushed to move by increasing the pressure in the present application, it needs to rapidly release the pressure in the present application. Otherwise, when it needs to stop squeezing the filler out, the piston will continue to move up, so that it is unable to stop squeezing the filler out and results in a lot of waste.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which a baffle is provided at or near the first end of the tail segment. The connection part between the tail segment and the baffle is recessed towards the second end of the tail segment to form a groove, and the extension tube is inserted into the groove. The baffle, the piston and the extension tube enclose the airtight chamber. The airtight chamber is not necessarily surrounded by the baffle, the piston and the extension tube. In an initial state, when the piston contacts with the baffle, the piston and the extension tube can enclose the airtight chamber. With the piston moving up, the piston moves away from the baffle, and the baffle, the piston and the extension tube together enclose the airtight chamber at this time. If one end of the extension tube is not flush with the baffle, that is, one end of the extension tube is located above the baffle, the extension tube, the tube body segment, the baffle and the piston together enclose the airtight chamber at this time.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the piston electric driving device is provided in the tail segment. The piston electric driving device mainly functions by increasing the pressure in the airtight chamber and releasing the pressure in time, thus the piston electric driving device can be provided outside of the tail segment, as long as it can be effectively communicated with the airtight chamber. However, the overall structure has a large volume at this time, so that it is not easy to be store, and the piston electric driving device is easy to be damaged when placed outside. Therefore, it is preferred to provide the piston electric driving device in the tail segment.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the pressurization device is the booster pump, which is the gas booster pump or the liquid booster pump. The pressure relief device is the pressure relief valve. Only some common pressurization devices and pressure relief devices are listed here, and other devices that can play the functions of pressurizing and pressure releasing also can be applied in the present application.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the baffle is provided with a drain inlet and a drain outlet. The second end of the tail segment is the opening end, or the closing end provided with the through hole; or the second end of the tail segment is the closing end, and the tube wall of the tail segment is provided with the through hole at the same time. The tail segment is provided in this way to mainly ensure its communication with the outside, so that the fluid in the airtight chamber can be discharged in time during pressure relief. If the tail segment is airtight space, the fluid in the airtight chamber will flow to the tail segment. With the increasing of the pressure in the tail segment, it is difficult to continue to discharge the fluid in the airtight chamber. The outlet of the booster pump is communicated with the drain inlet, and the pressure relief valve is used for controlling the opening and closing of the drain outlet.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the structure of the control device is the same as or slightly different from that of the integral packaging tube. For example, the structure of the control unit is different. The control unit is a mechanical switch, an infrared switch or a microwave switch. When the switch is turned on, the power supply unit is connected with the pressurization device and the pressure relief device, so as to control to open the pressurization device and close the pressure relief device. When the switch is turned off, the power supply unit is disconnected with the pressurization device and the pressure relief device, so as to control to close the pressurization device and open the pressure relief device.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the electric source or the battery is connected with the charging circuit. The control unit is provided at the main body segment or the tail segment, or also can be provided at the nozzle segment. Because connection structure between the main tail segment and the tail segment is not affected when the extension tube is replaced, the control unit can be not only provided at the main body segment, but also provided at the tail segment. But the nozzle segment is detachably connected with the main tube segment, when the extension tube is replaced, the nozzle segment is also replaced. Therefore, when the control unit is provided at the nozzle segment, the special conductive materials need to be respectively provided at the nozzle segment, the main body segment and the tail segment, so that when the nozzle segment is connected with the main body segment and the tail segment, the conductive materials are conducted, and the control unit is respectively connected with the power supply unit, the pressurization device and the pressure relief device.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the main body segment and the tail segment are formed integrally, it also can be that the second end of the main body segment is detachably connected with the first end of the tail segment.

The description of c) integral push-rod type packaging tube is as follows.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, which is the integral push-rod type packaging tube, includes a tube body. The tube body includes the nozzle segment, the main body segment and the tail segment. The first end of the nozzle segment is provided with the opening, and the second end of the nozzle segment is connected with the first end of the main body segment, and the second end of the main body segment is connected with the first end of the tail segment. The nozzle segment and the main body segment are formed integrally. The internal cavities of the nozzle segment and the main body segment together constitute the storage cavity, and the opening at the first end of the nozzle segment is the discharge port. The piston is provided in the main body segment, and the piston and the main body segment form an interference fit. The piston electric driving device is a linear actuator mechanism. The linear actuator mechanism is fixed in the tail segment (It may not be completely located in the tail segment, but may partially extends out from the first end or the second end of the tail segment) and includes a pushing rod, which is used for driving the piston to move a distance towards the nozzle segment and then stop moving by the pushing rod. The specific structure of the linear actuator mechanism is not limited, it is within the protection scope of the present application as long as it can drive the piston to move a distance towards the nozzle segment and then stop moving. The linear actuator mechanism specifically is a device which can provide liner motion. It works by utilizing some kind of driving energy and under action of some kind of control signal, and uses liquid, gas, electricity or other energy and converts it into driving action by a motor, a cylinder or other devices. The pushing rod in the linear actuator mechanism may not necessarily be a rod, for example, it also can be a mechanism composed of a rod, a plate or a cylinder. It can be applicable to the present application as long as it can contact with the piston and push the piston to move.
When the integral push-rod type packaging tube in the present application is used, by opening the linear actuator mechanism provided in the tail segment, the piston can be pushed to move a distance from the tail segment to the nozzle segment and then stop moving by the pushing rod. Because the piston and the main body segment are in the interference fit, a certain amount of the filler in the tube can be squeezed out. During the whole process, it only needs to turn on the switch of the linear actuator mechanism, which effectively solves the problem of inconvenient operation and not-fully squeezing out in the traditional manual squeezing method.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the linear actuator mechanism mainly includes a control device, a driving device and the pushing rod. The control device is used for controlling the opening and closing of the driving device, which is used to drive the pushing rod to move along a straight line. The connection structure between the driving device and the pushing rod can refer to the existing technology, such as an electric linear actuator, which is a new type of electric actuators. The electric linear actuator is a new type of linear actuator mechanisms mainly consisting of the motor, a pusher, the control device and etc, which can realize remote control and centralized control. After decelerated by a gear or a worm and gear, the motor drives a lead screw and a lead screw nut, which turns a rotating motion of the motor into a linear motion. The motion of the pusher can be completed by using the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, for example, referring to a linear motor, which is a transmission device directly converting the electric energy into the liner motion mechanical energy without any intermediate conversion mechanism, it can be regarded as a rotating motor cut radially and developed into a plane.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the piston includes a piston body, an inserting tube and multiple inserting plates. The piston body is cylindrical structure with one end closed and the other end open, and the specific shape is not limited. It can be a cylinder, a frustum of a cone, an irregular shape cylinder and etc, which depends on the shape of the main body segment of the tube body. That is, the shape of the piston body needs to ensure it and the main body segment of the tube body can be in the interference fit, so as to ensure that the filler in the tube body is sealed. The closing end and the opening end of the piston body are respectively close to the first end and the second end of the main body segment. The inserting tube is inserted in the piston body, and is connected with the closing end of the piston body. The inserting plates are inserted in the piston body, and in which two opposite thickness surfaces are respectively connected with the inner wall of the piston body and an outer wall of the inserting tube. The inserting plates are mainly used to fix the inserting tube, and the number and arrangement of the inserting plates are not limited. For example, three inserting plates are evenly arranged around a circumference of the inserting tube, or more or fewer inserting plates are evenly arranged or non-evenly arranged around the circumference of the inserting tube.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the pushing rod, which is a straight rod, is provided on the same line with the inserting tube, and the diameter of the pushing rod is less than an inner diameter of the inserting tube. The diameter of the pushing rod is less than an inner diameter of the inserting tube, which is the case when both the pushing rod and the inserting tube are the cylindrical structure by default. When they are non-cylindrical structure, their dimensional relationship needs to ensure that the pushing rod can be inserted into the inserting tube. In the initial state (i.e. before the linear actuator mechanism starts working), the pushing rod can be inserted into the inserting tube or not. In the initial state, when the pushing rod is inserted into the inserting tube, the pushing rod further moves towards the inserting tube under the driving action of the driving device. In the initial state, when the pushing rod is not inserted into the inserting tube, the pushing rod moves along the straight line under the driving action of the driving device, and will be inserted into the inserting tube and connected with the piston, so as to drive the piston to move towards the nozzle segment. The pushing rod may not necessarily be the straight rod, it can also be a scissors-fork hoisting mechanism formed by a combination of multiple straight rods, or rods with irregular shape, etc.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the baffle is provided at or near the first end of the tail segment, and a rod passing through hole for the pushing rod to pass through is provided on the baffle. Before operation, the pushing rod of the linear actuator mechanism can be located below the rod passing through hole. That is, during the operation of the linear actuator mechanism, the pushing rod contacts with the piston after passing through the rod passing through hole, or pass through the rod passing through hole. At this time, it can play a better guiding role and prevent the pushing rod from deviating from the inserting tube of the piston during the operation of the linear actuator mechanism.

When the induction disk receives the induction, he integrated circuit IC2 and the field effect transistor Q1 are controlled to connect the power supply unit with the driving device, so as to control to open the driving device, and the pushing rod moves along the straight line. When the induction disk does not receive the induction, the integrated circuit IC2 and the field effect transistor Q1 are controlled to disconnect the power supply unit with the driving device, so as to control to close driving device, and the pushing rod stops moving.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the electric source or the battery is connected with the charging circuit. The control unit is provided at the tail segment, or also can be provided at the main body segment or the nozzle segment. The main body segment and the nozzle segment are formed integrally, and both are detachably connected with the tail segment. Therefore, when the control unit is provided at the main body segment or the nozzle segment, the special conductive materials need to be respectively provided at the main body segment, the nozzle segment and the tail segment, so that when the main body segment and the nozzle segment are connected with the tail segment, the conductive materials are conducted, and the control unit is respectively connected with the power supply unit and the driving device.
The electric pump-type packaging tube for toothpaste as described above, in which the second end of the main body segment is detachably connected with the first end of the tail segment.

The filler is filled in the main body segment, when the filler is exhausted, the main body segment needs to be replaced. Because the nozzle segment and the main body segment are formed integrally, the nozzle segment needs to be replaced at the same time. If the tail segment and the main body segment are formed integrally, the tail segment and the linear actuator mechanism in the tail segment also need to be replaced at the same time. The cost is higher. However, when the tail segment is designed to be detachably connected with the main body segment, there is no need to replace the tail segment and the linear actuator mechanism, which greatly reduces the cost.
