Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of container packaging technology, specifically to a button component, a dispensing mechanism, and a press-type container. Background Technology

[0002] Due to their ease of use and convenient material handling, press-type material handling containers are widely applicable in the storage and handling of liquid, paste, or gel materials.

[0003] A press-type dispensing container generally includes a bottle body, a pump body, and a button. The pump body and button are located on the bottle body. The user can press the pump body by pressing the button to draw material from the bottle for dispensing. The button structure in existing press-type dispensing containers is generally as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a discharge channel, one end of which is connected to the pump body, and the other end forms the discharge port of the container.

[0004] The button structure described above is easy to manufacture and install; however, it has the following drawbacks:

[0005] Since one end of the button's discharge channel needs to be connected to the pump body, the pipe diameter of the section connecting the relevant channel to the pump body needs to match the pipe diameter of the pump body's discharge end. However, due to the relatively complex structure of conventional pump bodies, the size of the button's discharge channel generally needs to be made relatively large. This results in a large amount of material entering the button needing to completely fill the large discharge channel before it can be pumped out from the discharge port. Correspondingly, when users first use a push-button type dispensing container with a relevant button, they need to press it multiple times to pump out the material, which is very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a button component, a discharge mechanism and a press-type container that can effectively improve the above problems and realize a more convenient, quick pumping of material, easy-to-use, simple structure and easy-to-manufacture button component, a discharge mechanism and a press-type container.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the button component, the dispensing mechanism, and the press-type container of the present invention have the following configuration:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a button component, the main feature of which is that it includes a button body;

[0009] The button body includes a discharge channel, which includes a pump body connection section and a guide section. The guide section is provided with a partition plate, which divides the guide section into a first sub-channel and a second sub-channel.

[0010] The first port of the first sub-channel and the first port of the second sub-channel are both connected to the pump body connection section, the second port of the first sub-channel is connected to the discharge port in the button body, and the second end of the second sub-channel is in a sealed state.

[0011] The button component described above includes a pressing part integrally formed with the discharge channel, the pressing part covering the second end of the second sub-channel so that the second end of the second sub-channel is in a sealed state.

[0012] In the aforementioned button component, the discharge channel further includes a discharge section, which is connected to the first sub-channel, and the end of the discharge section away from the first sub-channel constitutes the discharge port in the button body.

[0013] In the aforementioned button component, the partition does not extend into the inner cavity of the pump body connecting section; or

[0014] The separator extends from the inner cavity of the material guide section to the inner cavity of the pump body connecting section, thereby dividing the pump body connecting section into a third sub-channel and a fourth sub-channel; the third sub-channel is coaxially arranged with the first sub-channel and communicates with it, and the fourth sub-channel is coaxially arranged with the second sub-channel and communicates with it.

[0015] In the aforementioned button component, the pump body connecting section and the material guiding section are coaxially arranged, and the button body is a single-unit structure integrally formed.

[0016] Secondly, the present invention provides a discharge mechanism, the main feature of which is that it includes a connecting member and a button member as described in any one of the first aspects above;

[0017] The connecting component includes a bottle body connecting part and a button connecting part that are connected to each other;

[0018] The discharge channel in the button component is connected to the button connection part.

[0019] In the above-mentioned discharge mechanism, when the discharge channel is directly nested with the button connection part, an anti-detachment limiting component is provided between the discharge channel and the button connection part to limit the relative sliding position of the discharge channel relative to the button connection part when it moves along the axial direction of the button connection part.

[0020] In the above-mentioned discharge mechanism, the anti-detachment limiting component includes a first limiting ring and a second limiting ring. The first limiting ring is disposed in the discharge channel on the side facing the button connection portion, and the second limiting ring is disposed in the button connection portion on the side facing the discharge channel. The second limiting ring is located between the first limiting ring on the discharge channel and the pressing portion on the discharge channel.

[0021] Thirdly, the present invention provides a press-type container, the main features of which are: a bottle body, a press pump and a dispensing mechanism as described in any of the second aspects above;

[0022] The connecting member in the discharging mechanism is connected to the bottle body through the bottle body connecting part. The inlet end of the press pump is arranged facing the inside of the bottle body, and the outlet end of the press pump is connected to the pump body connecting section in the button body of the discharging mechanism.

[0023] In the aforementioned press-type container, when the pump body connecting section is sleeved on the outside of the discharge end of the press pump, the partition does not extend into the inner cavity of the pump body connecting section.

[0024] In the aforementioned press-type container, the press pump is a vacuum pump, and a piston is provided inside the bottle.

[0025] In the aforementioned press-type container, the feed end of the press pump is further connected to a conduit extending to the bottom of the bottle body.

[0026] Fourthly, the present invention provides a press-type container, the main features of which are: a bottle body, a press pump, and the dispensing mechanism described in the second aspect above;

[0027] The connecting component also includes a pump body connecting part, which is connected to the bottle body connecting part and the button connecting part;

[0028] The connecting member is connected to the bottle body through the bottle body connecting part;

[0029] The connecting member is connected to the press pump via the pump body connecting part;

[0030] The feed end of the press pump is positioned facing the inside of the bottle body, and the outer side of the discharge end of the press pump is provided with a button docking part extending towards the button component. The press pump is connected to the pump body connecting section in the button body of the discharge mechanism through the button docking part.

[0031] In the aforementioned press-type container, the button docking part is located between the button connecting part and the pump body connecting section, and the button connecting part is connected to the pump body connecting section through the button docking part.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the button component, dispensing mechanism, and press-type container of the present invention are as follows:

[0033] In this invention, a separator is provided in the discharge channel of the button component to divide the discharge channel into a first sub-channel connected to the discharge port and a second sub-channel closed at one end. This allows the material entering the discharge channel to be blocked by gas in the second sub-channel, which is also closed at one end. This gas resistance effectively reduces the amount of material entering the second sub-channel, encouraging the material to flow out through the first sub-channel connected to the discharge port as much as possible. This structure, while ensuring effective connection between the button body and the pump, reduces the amount of material that needs to be filled into the discharge channel for extrusion, thus reducing the number of times the user needs to press the pump during initial dispensing and effectively optimizing the user experience.

[0034] Furthermore, since the button body in this button component has a simple overall structure and does not require a thick-walled structure, the diameter of the channel connecting to the discharge port can be reduced, making it easier to process and produce, and effectively meeting the needs of convenient operation during production.

[0035] The button component, dispensing mechanism, and press-type container of the present invention have the advantages of simple structure, easy production, convenient user operation, and effective improvement of user experience, and have wide applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0083] To make the technical means, inventive features, objectives, and effects of the invention readily understandable, the invention is further illustrated below with reference to specific figures. However, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0084] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings of this specification are only used to complement the content disclosed in the specification for those skilled in the art to understand and read, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0085] Press-type dispensing containers are widely used in daily life. However, in existing press-type dispensing containers, the diameter of the dispensing channel in the button is usually quite large in order to interface with a press pump. This means that when dispensing material for the first time, the user usually needs to press the button multiple times to fill the entire dispensing channel before the material is discharged from the outlet, which makes the operation very inconvenient for the user. Based on the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a button component, a dispensing mechanism, and a press-type container. The technical solution of this invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings (the evenly distributed diagonal lines in each figure are cross-sectional lines) and related embodiments.

[0086] Example 1:

[0087] like Figures 2A to 2C As shown, the button component of the present invention includes a button body 1;

[0088] The button body 1 includes a discharge channel 11 and a pressing part 13. The discharge channel 11 includes a pump body connecting section 111, a guide section 112 and a discharge section 113. It should be noted that the pump body connecting section 111, the guide section 112 and the discharge section 113 here are only used to divide the various areas in the button body 1 by function. In actual production, the relevant structure can be a one-piece structure and is not necessarily a split structure.

[0089] The material guiding section 112 is provided with a partition plate 12, which divides the material guiding section 112 into a first sub-channel 1121 and a second sub-channel 1122.

[0090] The first port of the first sub-channel 1121 and the first port of the second sub-channel 1122 are both connected to the pump body connecting section 111. The second port of the first sub-channel 1121 is connected to the discharge port 14 in the button body 1. The second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is in a closed state.

[0091] The discharge section 113 is connected to the first sub-channel 1121, and the end of the discharge section 113 away from the first sub-channel 1121 constitutes the discharge port 14 in the button body 1;

[0092] This structural design, by setting up a separator 12, allows the material to enter the discharge channel 11 during pumping. Because the second sub-channel 1122 contains gas and is closed at one end, the gas in the second sub-channel 1122 will exert resistance on the material flowing into the second sub-channel 1122, effectively reducing the amount of material entering the second sub-channel 1122. This encourages the material to be pumped out as much as possible from the first sub-channel 1121, which is connected to the discharge port 14. As a result, the material does not need to fill the entire discharge channel 11; it only needs to fill the first sub-channel 1121 before being pumped out through the discharge section 113. This effectively reduces the number of times the user needs to press the pump body during the initial pumping, making it easier for the user to operate.

[0093] In this embodiment, the button body 1 is composed of an integrally formed pump body connecting section 111, a material guiding section 112, a material discharging section 113, a pressing part 13, and a partition plate 12; the pressing part 13 covers the second end of the second sub-channel 1122, so that the second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is in a sealed state.

[0094] Since the second sub-channel 1122 is a hollow, single-sided closed structure, air will naturally exist in it during the production process. Therefore, the air in the second sub-channel 1122 will form air pressure, making it easier for the material to be pumped out from the first sub-channel 1121, which is open at both ends, and less likely to enter the second sub-channel 1122. This reduces the amount of material that needs to fill the discharge channel 11 during the first pumping, making it easier for users to operate.

[0095] Meanwhile, due to the simple structure of this button component, only a separator 12 needs to be added to the original discharge channel 11 to achieve the purpose of rapid discharge during the first pumping, such as... Figure 2B and Figure 2C As shown, the pump body connecting section 111, the material guiding section 112, and the discharge section 113 that form a connected channel segment in the button body 1 contain only one bending node (in actual production, the discharge section 113 can even be set as a structure coaxial with the first sub-channel 1121, and the channel segment of this design may not even have a bending node). Based on this structural characteristic, the button component can be mass-produced using an integral injection molding process, that is, the button body can be a single integral structure (that is, the pump body connecting section, the material guiding section, the partition plate, and the pressing part in the button body are all integral structures), which has high processing efficiency and low production cost.

[0096] At the same time, the overall structure does not involve thick-walled structures, such as Figure 2B It can be seen that the thickness of each part of the button body 1 is relatively uniform, and it is in a sheet-like state. In contrast, a thick-walled structure refers to a relatively thick block-like structure formed by a large amount of material piled together. Therefore, it avoids the problems of mismatch between the processed shape and the expected shape and long shaping time that come with a thick-walled structure.

[0097] In summary, the button component in this embodiment is characterized by ease of user operation, ease of manufacturing, and structural stability.

[0098] like Figure 2B As shown, in this embodiment, the discharge section 113 is composed of an extension perpendicular to the first sub-channel 1121, and one surface of the discharge section 113 is formed by the pressing part 13. However, in specific applications, it is not limited to this structure. For example, the pressing part 13 can be directly made to cover the top surface of the discharge channel 11, and then a through hole can be opened above the second port of the first sub-channel 1121 to form the discharge section 113.

[0099] like Figure 2C As shown, the separator 12 in this embodiment has a concave structure. However, in actual production, it is not limited to this shape. A vertical structure or other shapes can also be used to divide the guide section 112.

[0100] Example 2:

[0101] like Figures 3A to 4D As shown, this embodiment provides a discharge mechanism, including a button component and a connecting component 2.

[0102] The button component is composed of the button component in Embodiment 1, that is, it includes the button body 1;

[0103] The button body 1 includes a discharge channel 11 and a pressing part 13. The discharge channel 11 includes a pump body connecting section 111, a guiding section 112 and a discharge section 113.

[0104] The material guiding section 112 is provided with a partition plate 12, which divides the material guiding section 112 into a first sub-channel 1121 and a second sub-channel 1122.

[0105] The first port of the first sub-channel 1121 and the first port of the second sub-channel 1122 are both connected to the pump body connecting section 111. The second port of the first sub-channel 1121 is connected to the discharge port 14 in the button body 1. The second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is in a closed state.

[0106] The discharge section 113 is connected to the first sub-channel 1121, and the end of the discharge section 113 away from the first sub-channel 1121 constitutes the discharge port 14 in the button body 1. Related structures can be found in [reference needed]. Figures 2A to 2C As shown.

[0107] The connecting component 2 includes a bottle body connecting part 21 and a button connecting part 22 that are connected to each other;

[0108] like Figures 3A to 4D As shown, in this embodiment, the button connection part 22 is formed by the channel bent inward from the bottom of the bottle body connection part 21. The button component is sleeved inside the connecting component 2, and the discharge channel 11 is nested inside the button connection part 22, so that the discharge channel 11 in the button component is nested and connected with the button connection part 22.

[0109] In this embodiment, an anti-detachment limiting component is provided between the discharge channel 11 and the button connection part 22 to limit the relative sliding position of the discharge channel 11 relative to the button connection part 22 when it moves along the axial direction of the button connection part 22.

[0110] In this embodiment, the anti-detachment limiting component includes a first limiting ring 231 and a second limiting ring 232. The first limiting ring 231 is disposed in the discharge channel 11 on the side facing the button connection portion 22, and the second limiting ring 232 is disposed in the button connection portion 22 on the side facing the discharge channel 11. The second limiting ring 232 is located between the first limiting ring 231 on the discharge channel 11 and the pressing portion 13 on the discharge channel 11.

[0111] Other structures can also be used to form the anti-detachment limiting component in other embodiments, such as replacing at least one limiting ring with a limiting block.

[0112] The design of the anti-detachment limiting component can prevent the button component from falling off the connecting component 2 during the pressing process.

[0113] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, when the first limiting ring 231 and the second limiting ring 232 come into contact with each other, the top surface of the button component is flush with the top edge of the connecting component 2, and the bottle body connecting part 21 of the connecting component 2 is provided with an avoidance groove to avoid blocking the discharge port 14 in the button body 1, while making it convenient for the user to press the button.

[0114] The discharging mechanism can form bottle caps in the corresponding containers.

[0115] In this embodiment, the bottle body connecting part 21 is also provided with a first guide part extending towards the button component, and the pressing part 13 of the button body 1 is provided with a second guide part in the direction of the bottle body connecting part 21. When the button component and the connecting component 2 are assembled together, the first guide part and the second guide part are connected to guide the relative movement of the button component and the connecting component 2, thereby ensuring the pressing stability when pumping material.

[0116] Because the discharging mechanism uses a button component with a separator 12, it also achieves the advantage of making it easy for users to pick up materials.

[0117] Example 3:

[0118] like Figures 5A to 5B As shown, the press-type container in this embodiment includes a bottle body 3, a press pump 4, and a dispensing mechanism. The connecting member 2 in the dispensing mechanism is connected to the bottle body 3 through the bottle body connecting part 21. The inlet end of the press pump 4 is arranged facing the inside of the bottle body, and the outlet end of the press pump 4 is connected to the pump body connecting section 111 in the button body 1 of the dispensing mechanism.

[0119] The discharge mechanism in this embodiment is composed of the discharge mechanism in the second embodiment. The discharge mechanism includes a connecting member 2 and a button member; the button member includes a button body 1.

[0120] The button body 1 includes a discharge channel 11 and a pressing part 13. The discharge channel 11 includes a pump body connecting section 111, a guiding section 112 and a discharge section 113.

[0121] The material guiding section 112 is provided with a partition plate 12, which divides the material guiding section 112 into a first sub-channel 1121 and a second sub-channel 1122.

[0122] The first port of the first sub-channel 1121 and the first port of the second sub-channel 1122 are both connected to the pump body connecting section 111. The second port of the first sub-channel 1121 is connected to the discharge port 14 in the button body 1. The second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is in a closed state.

[0123] The discharge section 113 is connected to the first sub-channel 1121, and the end of the discharge section 113 away from the first sub-channel 1121 constitutes the discharge port 14 in the button body 1.

[0124] The user can press the pressing part 13 to drive the material discharge channel 11 to press the pressing component of the pressing pump 4 to achieve material pumping. During this process, the relative position of the pressing pump 4 and the connecting member 2 remains fixed, and the button body 1 and the connecting member 2 undergo axial relative movement to press the pressing component of the pressing pump 4.

[0125] In this embodiment, the press pump 4 is a vacuum pump, and the bottle body is equipped with a piston 5.

[0126] Since the vacuum pump can be constructed using existing pump bodies, the specific structure of the vacuum pump will not be described in detail in this application, and the specific structure of the press pump is not shown in the figure; only the outer outline of the press pump is drawn.

[0127] like Figure 5BAs shown, in this embodiment, there is a certain gap between the separator 12 and the discharge port 14 of the press pump. Therefore, after the material enters the discharge channel 11, it will first fill the relevant gap. Then, affected by the gas in the second sub-channel 1122, the material will basically not enter the second sub-channel 1122 (or only a little bit of material will enter the bottom of the second sub-channel 1122), but will flow directly to the discharge port 14 through the first sub-channel 1121.

[0128] In other embodiments, the separator 12 may also come into contact with the discharge port 14 of the press pump.

[0129] like Figure 5B As shown, a connecting structure is provided at the position where the connecting member 2 connects to the bottle body, and the connecting member 2 and the bottle body are connected through the connecting structure. In this embodiment, the connecting structure is composed of a snap-fit ​​structure; in other embodiments, the connecting structure may also be composed of threads or other connecting structures.

[0130] The press-type container in this embodiment features a simple structure and ease of manufacturing. Because the discharge channel 11 has a separator 12, and the second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is sealed, a certain amount of air is present inside. When the user performs a material retrieval operation, the material output by the press pump is affected by the gas inside the second sub-channel 1122 and will not enter the enclosed space. Instead, it will be pumped out to the discharge port 14 via the easier-to-pass, unobstructed first sub-channel 1121, thus reducing the number of pumping operations and making the operation easier for the user, effectively improving the user experience. Simultaneously, since the material in this embodiment typically does not enter the second sub-channel 1122 or only a small amount during use, it also reduces the problem of a large amount of material remaining inside the button component. The press-type container in this embodiment can be used for different materials and has wide applicability.

[0131] Example 4:

[0132] like Figures 6A to 6C As shown, the main structure of the button component of the present invention is similar to that of the main structure in the first embodiment, the main difference being a slight difference in shape. The overall working principle is the same as that of the button component in the first embodiment.

[0133] The button component also includes the button body 1;

[0134] The button body 1 includes a discharge channel 11 and a pressing part 13. The discharge channel 11 includes a pump body connecting section 111, a guiding section 112 and a discharge section 113.

[0135] The material guiding section 112 is provided with a partition plate 12, which divides the material guiding section 112 into a first sub-channel 1121 and a second sub-channel 1122.

[0136] The first port of the first sub-channel 1121 and the first port of the second sub-channel 1122 are both connected to the pump body connecting section 111. The second port of the first sub-channel 1121 is connected to the discharge port 14 in the button body 1. The second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is in a closed state.

[0137] The discharge section 113 is connected to the first sub-channel 1121, and the end of the discharge section 113 away from the first sub-channel 1121 constitutes the discharge port 14 in the button body 1;

[0138] This structural design, by incorporating a separator 12, ensures that when the material enters the discharge channel 11, the gas in the second sub-channel 1122, which is closed at one end, exerts resistance on the material flowing into it. This effectively reduces the amount of material entering the second sub-channel 1122, prompting the material to be pumped out as much as possible from the first sub-channel 1121, which is connected to the discharge port 14. Consequently, the material does not need to fill the entire discharge channel 11; it only needs to fill the first sub-channel 1121 before being pumped out through the discharge section 113. This effectively reduces the number of times the user needs to press the pump body during the initial pumping, making it easier for the user to operate.

[0139] In this embodiment, the button body 1 is composed of an integrally formed pump body connecting section 111, a material guiding section 112, a material discharging section 113, a pressing part 13, and a partition plate 12; the pressing part 13 covers the second end of the first sub-channel 1121 and the second sub-channel 1122, and the side wall of the first sub-channel 1121 is provided with an opening that connects to the channel in the material discharging section 113, so that the second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is in a sealed state, while the first sub-channel 1121 is connected to the material outlet 14.

[0140] Since the second sub-channel 1122 is a hollow, single-sided closed structure, air will naturally exist in it during the production process. Therefore, the air in the second sub-channel 1122 will form air pressure, making it easier for the material to be pumped out from the first sub-channel 1121, which is open at both ends, and less likely to enter the second sub-channel 1122. This reduces the amount of material that needs to fill the discharge channel 11 during the first pumping, making it easier for users to operate.

[0141] Meanwhile, due to the simple structure of this button component, only a separator 12 needs to be added to the original discharge channel 11 to achieve the purpose of rapid discharge during the first pumping, such as... Figure 2B and Figure 2C As shown, the pump body connecting section 111, the material guiding section 112, and the discharge section 113 that form a connected channel segment in the button body 1 contain only one bending node (in actual production, the discharge section 113 can even be set as a structure coaxial with the first sub-channel 1121, and the channel segment of this design may not even have a bending node). Based on such structural characteristics, the button component can be mass-produced using an integral injection molding process, ensuring high-efficiency processing.

[0142] Example 5:

[0143] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a press-type container, including a bottle body, a press pump, and a dispensing mechanism;

[0144] The connecting member 2 in the dispensing mechanism is connected to the bottle body via the bottle body connecting part 21. The inlet end of the press pump is positioned facing the inside of the bottle body, and the outlet end of the press pump is connected to the pump body connecting section 111 in the button body 1 of the dispensing mechanism. The inlet end of the press pump is also connected to a conduit 6 extending to the bottom of the bottle body.

[0145] In this embodiment, the discharging mechanism includes a connecting component 2 and a button component. The connecting component 2 includes a bottle body connecting part 21 and a button connecting part 22 that are connected to each other.

[0146] The discharge channel 11 in the button component is nested and connected to the button connection part 22;

[0147] In this embodiment, the bottle body connecting part 21 and the button connecting part 22 are coaxially arranged, and the button connecting part 22 is located above the bottle body connecting part 21.

[0148] In this embodiment, the button body 1 also includes a discharge channel 11, which includes a pump body connection section 111 and a guide section 112. The guide section 112 is provided with a partition 12 inside, which divides the guide section 112 into a first sub-channel 1121 and a second sub-channel 1122.

[0149] The first port of the first sub-channel 1121 and the first port of the second sub-channel 1122 are both connected to the pump body connecting section 111. The second port of the first sub-channel 1121 is connected to the discharge port 14 in the button body 1. The second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is in a sealed state.

[0150] The specific structure of the button component is consistent with that of the button component in the fourth embodiment; therefore, its specific structure is not further limited here.

[0151] In this embodiment, the press pump is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottle opening in the bottle body, the bottle body connecting part 21 in the connecting member 2 is nested on the outer side of the bottle opening in the bottle body, and the discharge channel 11 in the button body 1 passes through the button connecting part 22 and is connected to the press pump.

[0152] The beneficial effects of the button component, dispensing mechanism, and press-type container of the present invention are as follows:

[0153] In this invention, a separator 12 is provided in the discharge channel 11 of the button component to divide the discharge channel 11 into a first sub-channel 1121 connected to the discharge port 14 and a second sub-channel 1122 closed at one end. This allows the material entering the discharge channel 11 to be blocked by gas in the second sub-channel 1122, effectively reducing the amount of material entering the second sub-channel 1122 and encouraging the material to flow out through the first sub-channel 1121 connected to the discharge port 14. This structure, while ensuring effective docking of the button body 1 with the pump, reduces the amount of material that needs to be filled into the discharge channel 11 for extrusion, thus reducing the number of times the user needs to press the pump during initial material retrieval and effectively optimizing the user experience.

[0154] Furthermore, since the button body 1 in this button component has a simple overall structure and does not require a thick-walled structure, the diameter of the channel connected to the discharge port 14 can be reduced, making it easier to process and produce, and effectively meeting the needs of convenient operation during production and processing.

[0155] Example 6:

[0156] like Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a press-type container, including a bottle body 3, a press pump 4, and a dispensing mechanism. The dispensing mechanism includes a button component and a connecting component 2; wherein,

[0157] The button component includes the button body 1;

[0158] The button body 1 includes a discharge channel 11, a pressing part, and a separator 12. The discharge channel 11 includes a pump body connecting section 111 and a guide section 112. The separator 12 is disposed within the guide section 112, dividing the guide section 112 into a first sub-channel 1121 and a second sub-channel 1122. In this embodiment, the separator 12 extends from the inner cavity of the guide section 112 to the inner cavity of the pump body connecting section 111, thereby dividing the pump body connecting section 111 into a third sub-channel 1111 and a fourth sub-channel 1112. The third sub-channel 1111 is coaxially arranged and interconnected with the first sub-channel 1121, and the fourth sub-channel 1112 is coaxially arranged and interconnected with the second sub-channel 1122. In this embodiment, the third sub-channel 1111 has the same cross-sectional shape and size as the first sub-channel 1121, and the fourth sub-channel 1112 has the same cross-sectional shape and size as the second sub-channel 1122.

[0159] The first port of the first sub-channel 1121 and the first port of the second sub-channel 1122 are both connected to the pump body connecting section 111. The second port of the first sub-channel 1121 is connected to the discharge port 14 in the button body 1. The second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is in a sealed state.

[0160] The button body 1 also includes a pressing part 13 integrally formed with the discharge channel 11. The pressing part 13 covers the second end of the second sub-channel 1122 so that the second end of the second sub-channel 1122 is in a sealed state.

[0161] The discharge channel 11 further includes a discharge section 113, which is connected to the first sub-channel 1121, and the end of the discharge section 113 away from the first sub-channel 1121 constitutes the discharge port 14 in the button body 1.

[0162] In this embodiment, the pump body connecting section 111 and the material guiding section 112 are coaxially arranged, and the button body 1 is a single-piece structure integrally formed.

[0163] The button component in this embodiment operates on the same principle as the button component in other embodiments. It also reduces the number of times the user needs to press the pump body to retrieve materials during the initial retrieval, effectively optimizing the user experience and being easy to process.

[0164] In this embodiment, the connecting member 2 includes a bottle body connecting part 21, a button connecting part 22, and a pump body connecting part 24 that are connected to each other. Figure 8As shown, the button connection 22 and the pump body connection 24 are formed by an inwardly bent channel at the bottom of the bottle body connection 21. That is, the button connection 22 and the pump body connection 24 are located inside the bottle body connection 21, wherein the button connection 22 is connected to the bottle body connection 21 through the pump body connection 24. In other embodiments, the connecting member 2 may also adopt other shapes and structures, and is not limited thereto.

[0165] The connecting member 2 is connected to the bottle body 3 through the bottle body connecting part 21;

[0166] The connecting member 2 is connected to the press pump 4 through the pump body connecting part 24;

[0167] The feed end of the press pump 4 is arranged facing the inside of the bottle body 3, and the outer side of the discharge end of the press pump 4 is provided with a button docking part 41 extending towards the button component. The press pump 4 is connected to the pump body connecting section 111 in the button body 1 of the discharge mechanism through the button docking part 41.

[0168] In this embodiment, the button docking part 41 is located between the button connecting part 22 and the pump body connecting section 111, and the button connecting part 22 is connected to the pump body connecting section 111 through the button docking part 41. That is, Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the press pump 4 is fixed inside the pump body connecting part 24, the button docking part 41 in the press pump 4 extends into the button connecting part 22, and the pump body connecting section 111 in the button body 1 extends into the button docking part 41 in the press pump 4 and docks with the discharge end of the press pump 4.

[0169] To ensure a better connection between the pump 4 and the connecting member 2, this embodiment includes a first limiting and fixing component and a second limiting and fixing component between the pump 4 and the connecting member 2. This ensures that the pump 4 and the connecting member 2 maintain their relative positions during use of the pump-type container. In this embodiment, the first limiting and fixing component includes a third limiting ring 71 disposed in the connecting member 2 facing the pump 4 and a fourth limiting ring 72 disposed in the pump 4 facing the connecting member 2. The third limiting ring 71 and the fourth limiting ring 72 are fitted together, with the third limiting ring 71 positioned above the fourth limiting ring 72. The second limiting and fixing component includes a slot 74 disposed in the connecting member 2 facing the pump 4 and a retaining ring 73 disposed in the pump 4 facing the connecting member 2. The retaining ring 73 and the slot 74 are engaged.

[0170] The discharge channel 11 can move relative to the button docking part 41 under the action of external force.

[0171] The push pump 4 in this embodiment can adopt the structure of a push pump in the prior art (its specific structure is not shown in the figure), and it may include:

[0172] Pump body: The pump body is the main part of the push-button pump and can be made of a sturdy material to withstand the pressure generated when pressed. It has an internal cavity to accommodate components such as the piston and spring. In this embodiment, the button docking part 41 is located on the pump body.

[0173] Piston: The piston is a movable part inside the pump body. Driven by external force, the piston can move up and down within the pump body's internal cavity. The movement of the piston changes the volume of the divided chambers within the cavity, thereby creating a pressure difference that propels the material or gas to flow.

[0174] Spring: The spring is located between the piston and one side wall of the pump body, and is used to allow the piston to return to its initial position after pressing. The spring force and restoring property of the spring ensure the continuous operation of the press pump.

[0175] One end of the pump body constitutes the feed end of the press pump, and the other end of the pump body constitutes the discharge end of the press pump. A piston pushing part is provided at the discharge end of the press pump. One end of the piston pushing part can be connected to the piston inside the press pump, and the other end of the piston pushing part can be connected to the pump body connecting section 111 in the button body 1.

[0176] The push pump in this embodiment may also be constructed using other structures, and is not limited thereto. For example, in some embodiments, the push pump may also include:

[0177] Outlet valve (liquid discharge check valve): The outlet valve is located at the pump body outlet and is used to control the outflow of material. When the piston moves downward, the outlet valve closes to prevent material backflow; when the piston moves upward, the outlet valve opens to allow material to flow out.

[0178] Inlet valve (inlet check valve): The inlet valve is located at the pump inlet and is used to control the inflow of material. When the piston moves downward, the inlet valve opens, allowing material to enter the pump; when the piston moves upward, the inlet valve closes, preventing material from flowing out.

[0179] Figure 8 In the embodiment, the press pump in the press-type container is a vacuum pump, and the bottle body 3 is provided with a piston 5.

[0180] During the research and development process, the inventors manufactured the button component of this invention and compared it with button components in the prior art. Through experimental comparison, it was determined that using the button component, discharging mechanism, and press-type container of this invention can effectively improve the efficiency of the first discharging and make it easier for users to operate. Furthermore, based on the structural characteristics of this button component, it is easy to process and very convenient to manufacture.

[0181] It should be noted that although the ratio of the first sub-channel 1121 to the second sub-channel 1122 in some embodiments shown in the attached drawings is approximately 1:8, this is not a limitation in practical applications, and designers can adjust the ratio as needed. However, to ensure discharge efficiency, the first sub-channel should preferably occupy less than four-fifths or less of the volume of the discharge channel 11, such as less than one-half or one-quarter, to better ensure discharge efficiency.

[0182] The button component, dispensing mechanism, and press-type container of the present invention have the advantages of simple structure, easy production, convenient user operation, and effective improvement of user experience, and have wide applicability.

[0183] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
