具体实施方式
图1-6示出了具有大体圆柱形壳体20的致动器顶帽10。所述壳体20包括基座部分22和可拆卸的帽24。所述基座部分22包括适于被保持在传统的气雾剂容器30的上端28上的圆柱形部分26,在图7中示出了所述气雾剂容器30并且将在下面进一步详细地描述所述气雾剂容器30。柱32从所述圆柱形部分26的顶端34向上延伸。所述柱32包括弯曲的远端36,所述远端36带有在它的外壁上的卵形按钮38。所述按钮38进一步设置有凹陷40。圆柱形杆42(参见图8)被大体上相对于所述按钮38地设置在所述柱32的内壁44上。
所述可拆卸的帽24包括圆柱形的底部部分46,其直径大体上等于所述圆柱形部分26的所述顶端34的直径。侧壁48在所述帽24的所述底部部分46和它的顶部部分50之间延伸。所述侧壁48围绕所述帽24的纵轴线52向外成锥形,使得所述帽24的邻近所述底部部分46的横截面直径小于所述帽24的邻近所述顶部部分50的横截面直径。阶梯形部分54截断所述帽24的一致的锥形。所述阶梯形部分54包括分别朝着所述帽24的纵轴线52向内地延伸的第一和第二锥形表面56、58。所述第一和第二锥形表面56、58包括分别被布置在邻近所述帽24的所述底部部分46的凹槽62的相反侧上的第一端60a、60b。所述锥形表面56、58从所述第一端60a、60b朝向所述帽24的与所述凹槽62相反(opposite)并且邻近所述顶部部分50的部分64地向上延伸。
所述可拆卸的帽24的上表面66是凸出的并且由圆形外周边缘68界定。椭圆形的排出孔70被居中地布置在所述上表面66之内。截头圆锥壁72围绕所述排出孔70的周边地向下垂到所述帽24的内部。弯曲凹槽74被布置在所述排出孔70和所述外周边缘68之间。所述凹槽74包括平坦的底面76,所述平坦的底面76带有被布置在其中的长方形切口78。孔80也被设置在所述凹槽74和所述外周边缘68之间。透光棒82通过干涉配合而被保持在所述孔80之内。
如同在图8-16中所示的那样,所述基座部分22包括被布置在所述圆柱形部分26的顶端34上的平台90。所述平台90的大小被设置成当所述帽24被连接到所述基座部分22时与所述可拆卸的帽24的底部部分46摩擦地接合。图9示出的所述平台90包括向内地阶梯形部分,其包括侧壁94和顶部部分96。所述侧壁94包括外周切口98,所述切口98适于相配合地(fittingly)接收在所述帽24的内壁102上并且邻近它的底部部分46的环形部分100。进一步地,凹槽62提供额外的保持支撑,其大小被设置成当所述帽24被放置在所述基座部分22上时相配合地接收所述柱32。在将所述帽24放置在所述部分26上期间,使用者将所述凹槽62与所述柱32相对准并且向下滑动所述帽24直到它接触所述基座部分22的顶端34并且与所述平台90形成干涉配合。所述基座部分22的底端104也被成形成配合在气雾剂容器30的上端28上。在所述顶帽10的另一实施方式中,所述帽24和所述基座部分22形成整体单元,所述整体单元通过干涉配合而被连接到所述容器30的顶部。当然,不论所述壳体20包括一个还是多个部件,所述壳体20可以以本领域技术人员已知的方式被保持在所述容器30上。例如,在美国专利US4,133,448,US 5,027,982,和US 5,649,645中描述了顶盖(overcap)保持结构,其全部内容以引用的方式被结合到这里,所述顶盖保持结构可以与这里所描述的任何实施方式结合使用。进一步地,可以以本领域技术人员已知的任何方式修改这里所描述的顶盖10的任何美学方面,举例来说,能去除所述阶梯形部分54或所述壳体20能被设置成不同的形状。
当特定情况发生时,所述顶帽10从所述容器30排出流体。所述情况能是所述顶帽10的手动致动或者所述顶帽10的响应于来自计时器或传感器的电信号的自动致动。被排出的流体可以是被布置在载液、除臭液等之内的香水或杀虫剂。所述流体也可以包括其它活性物,例如消毒杀菌剂、空气清新剂、臭气抑制剂、防菌剂或防霉剂、驱虫剂、和/或类似流体,和/或具有芳香治疗特性的流体。所述流体可选地包括能从容器分配的本领域技术人员已知的任何流体。所述顶帽10因此适于分配许多不同的流体制剂。
所述容器30可以是本领域技术人员已知的任何大小和体积的气雾剂容器。然而,所述容器30优选为包括本体140(参见图17),所述本体140带有卷边压接到它的顶端28的安装杯142。所述安装杯142是大体上圆柱形的并且包括围绕其圆周地延伸的外壁144。支座146从所述安装帽142的基座148的中心部分向上延伸。在所述容器30内的阀组件包括从所述支座146向上延伸的阀杆172。所述阀杆172是类似于在美国专利US4,068,782中所描述的那样的倾斜致动型,该美国专利的全部内容以引用的方式被结合到这里。当所述阀杆172的远端远离所述容器30的纵轴线52地倾斜到足够程度时,也就是,倾斜到操作位置时,所述阀组件被打开并且所述容器30的内容物通过所述阀杆172中的排出孔或排出端(未示出)而被排出。所述容器30的内容物可以被连续排出或者被以计量的剂量排出。进一步地,可以以多种方式实现所述容器30的内容物的排出,举例来说,排出可以包括部分计量剂量排出或多个相继的排出。
将倾斜致动的阀杆而不是竖直致动的阀杆与本实施方式结合使用是尤其有益的。使用倾斜致动的阀杆的一个益处是与竖直致动的阀杆相比,将所述阀杆置于操作位置需要的力更小。通过所使用的特定驱动装置,更小的致动力转变成动力消耗减少,其将允许更简单的、更小的和/或成本更低的驱动机构。进一步地,动力消耗减少将允许更长的动力源使用时间。在阅读了本发明后,这些和其它好处对本领域技术人员来说将是非常显然的。
如同上面所指出的那样,所述壳体20适于被保持在所述容器30的上端28上。图9示出的本实施方式包括围绕所述基座部分22的内圆周184的凹部180、182。由表面186a、186b限定所述凹部180、182,当所述基座部分22被可操作地连接到所述容器30时,所述表面186a、186b分别与所述容器30的安装杯142和颈部形成干涉配合。
转向附图10-16,支架200被示为从所述平台90向上延伸。所述支架200包括第一壁202和第二壁204,所述第二壁204平行于所述第一壁202并且与所述第一壁202间隔开以限定通道206。第一板208在所述通道206的远端210处被布置在所述第一和第二壁202、204之间。肋216被提供在所述第一壁202的外表面218上用以支撑具有被布置在其上的控制电路的印刷电路板230。所述第二壁204在它的相反两侧上设置有第一和第二框架构件234、236。所述第一和第二框架构件234、236适于保持直流电源238,所述直流电源238包括在其内的一组三个AA电池。本实施方式的所述电源238被示意性地示出,以示出电池与其它电源的可互换性。在一些实施方式中,所述AA电池能被可充电的镍镉电池组替换,所述可充电的镍镉电池组具有能被用来将所述电池组连接到交流电出口244的电引线242,如同在图17中看到的那样。在另一实施方式中,直流电源238可以被交流电源适配器整体地替换,所述交流电源适配器具有如同本领域技术人员已知的那样的合适的电变压器和交流/直流转换器。
所述控制电路允许驱动机构或驱动单元260的电致动,使得流体从所述容器30排出。图18A和18B示出了被布置在所述印刷电路板230上的开关262。所述开关262与所述按钮38可操作地对准,使得所述按钮38的手动压下引起所述开关262致动。进一步地,使用者可选择的开关组件264被布置成邻近所述印刷电路板230的顶部部分。所述使用者可选择的开关组件264包括从其向上地延伸的指状物266。所述指状物266可以被用来选择用于所述电路的不同操作模式(如同下面更详细地讨论的那样)。当所述帽24与所述基座部分22相接合时所述指状物266配合在所述切口78内,使得使用者能可操作地与所述指状物266相互作用。被布置在所述印刷电路板230上的发光二极管(LED)268被定位成接近所述帽24的所述透光棒82。
如同在图8、9、11、15、16、18A和18B中所示的那样,螺线管270形式的驱动单元260被布置在所述通道206内。在本实施方式中,所述螺线管270是由俄亥俄州的万达利亚(Vandalia)的思博公司(Saia-Burgess Inc.)销售的Frame,Size C5直流操作的螺线管。然而,在不背离这里所描述的原理的情况下,可以使用本领域普通技术人员已知的其它螺线管。例如,所述螺线管270能是由印第安纳州(IN)的米沙沃卡(Mishawaka)的三科技有限责任公司(Tri-Tech,LLC)制造的螺线管,例如1551系列螺线管致动器。所述螺线管270包括安装支架274,所述安装支架274通过螺钉(未示出)被连接到所述第一壁202。电枢278从所述螺线管270朝向所述平台90向下延伸。在本实施方式中,所述电枢278大体上平行于所述阀杆172以及所述容器30的纵轴线52。所述电枢278包括在它的远端282处的狭槽280a、280b。
尤其是参考附图9、12、15和16,示出了分配构件290。在本实施方式中,所述分配构件290包括分别具有顶端和底端294、296的圆柱形构件。参考图9,当所述壳体20被放置在所述容器30上时,所述阀杆172的远端位于与所述分配构件290的底端296邻近的圆形开口(未示出)之内。孔300从所述开口延伸并且穿过所述分配构件290的顶端294,如同可以在图12中看到的那样。在其它实施方式中,所述分配构件290包括非圆柱形的形状和/或包括在所述构件290的全部或部分长度上变化的横截面尺寸,举例来说,所述孔300的排出端可以比所述孔300的其它部分窄或者可以相对于所述孔300的其它部分倾斜。进一步地,在所述分配构件290的长度上延伸的所述孔300的全部或部分可以是圆柱形的或任何其它形状,举例来说,所述孔300的邻近所述分配构件290的顶端295的排出端可以是正方形的。所述分配构件290的顶端294被布置成邻近从所述排出孔70垂下的截头圆锥壁72和/或在从所述排出孔70垂下的截头圆锥壁72内。所述分配构件290被适当地居中以将所述构件290的顶端294与所述排出孔70相对准。图10、12和15示出的所述分配构件290也包括从其横向地延伸的臂302。螺旋弹簧304通过所述第一板208和所述臂302的远端306之间的干涉配合而被固定在所述通道206内。图9、11、12、和16示出了第二臂或钟锤杠杆(bellcrank)308,其类似地从所述分配构件290横向地延伸。
参考图9和16,所述钟锤杠杆308的远端310包括限定凹槽314的两个构件312a、312b。连接器318在所述钟锤杠杆308的远端310和所述电枢278的远端282之间延伸。本实施方式的连接器318包括长方形的塑料部分,然而,可以预计使用其它形状和材料。所述连接器318包括分别在它的第一和第二端324、326上的孔。第一销328与所述连接器318的第一端324邻近地***到所述连接器318中,并且被***到所述电枢278的狭槽280a、280b中。类似地,第二销330与所述连接器318的第二端326邻近地***到所述连接器318中,并且被***到所述钟锤杠杆308之内的孔中。因此,所述连接器318将所述电枢278机械地连接到所述钟锤杠杆308。
在打开所述阀组件和释放所述容器30的内容物之前,所述电枢278、所述连接器318、和所述钟锤杠杆308被定位在预致动位置332,如同在图18A中所示的那样。优选地,当所述顶帽10被定位在所述预致动位置332时,所述阀杆172的远端平行于所述容器30的纵轴线32。可选地,所述分配构件290和所述阀杆172可以被侧向地移动一不足以打开所述阀组件的距离。当所述电枢278、所述连接器318、和所述钟锤杠杆308被转变到致动位置334时,如同在图18B中所示的那样,所述分配构件290和所述阀杆172远离所述容器30的纵轴线52地被倾斜一足以完全打开所述阀组件的距离。可选地,当在所述致动位置334时,所述阀杆172可以被移动到部分打开位置。
转向图18B,现在将更详细地描述关于本实施方式的螺线管270的致动。当收到致动信号时,所述螺线管270被通电以沿着大体平行于所述容器30的纵轴线52的路径向下地磁驱动所述电枢278。所述电枢278的线性运动通过所述连接器318被转变成所述钟锤杠杆308的旋转位移,所述连接器318担当它们之间的机械联动装置。所述钟锤杠杆308的旋转位移使得所述分配构件290围绕所述纵轴线52转动。类似地,所述分配构件290的旋转通过施加横向于所述纵轴线52的力而使得它的底端296与所述阀杆172相接合并使得所述阀杆290旋转地移动,因此将所述阀杆172推动到它的致动位置334。当所述螺线管270去激励时,所述电枢278被向上地推动到所述螺线管270中,因此允许所述连接器318和所述钟锤杠杆308返回到上面所描述的预启动位置332。在没有任何横向力作用于所述阀杆172以将其保持在打开状态的情况下,所述阀杆172返回到大体上平行于所述容器30的纵轴线52的关闭位置并且防止流体排出。由机械地连接的电枢278施加的力、和由所述容器30内的阀组件施加的力,通过一个或多个弹簧,可以实现将所述阀杆172返回到所述关闭位置。
预计所述螺线管270将被驱动一合适的持续时间和/或被合适地移动以完全或部分打开所述阀杆172。可以以本领域技术人员已知的方式修改任何元件,举例来说所述电枢278、所述连接器318、和所述钟锤杠杆308的特定行进距离和/或它们的长度,以调节所述元件之间的机械关系并且以实现所述阀杆172的部分或全部倾斜。优选地,尽管不是必须的,所述电枢278被保持在所述排出位置一预定长时间(“喷射时间段”)。所述喷射时间段的持续时间通常等于大约170毫秒。当然,如果需要的话,所述电枢278能被保持在所述排出位置直到所述容器的所有内容物都被排尽。进一步地,响应于单个致动信号的发生所述电枢可以被移动多次以提供多个顺序的排出。当来自连续排出容器的单个排出不是所期望的或当希望断断续续地排出时多个顺序的排出可能是有益的。
图19示出了本实施方式的时序图,其示出了在使用状态期间所述顶帽的操作。最初,通过将所述指状物266从“关闭”位置移动到四个操作模式350、352、354、356(参见图18A和18B)中的其中一个给所述顶帽10通电,由此所述顶帽10进入启动延迟时间段。所述四个操作模式350、352、354、356的每个对应于相继的喷射期之间的预定睡眠期。例如,第一操作模式350能对应于五分钟的睡眠期,第二操作模式352能对应于七分半钟的睡眠期,第三操作模式354能对应于十五分钟的睡眠期,并且第四操作模式356能对应于三十分钟的睡眠期。对于本例子,我们将假定已经选择了第一操作模式350。当所述启动延迟时间段完成时,在第一喷射时间段期间指示所述螺线管270从所述顶帽10排出流体。所述启动延迟时间段优选为是大约三秒长的时间,并且所述喷射时间段通常是大约170微秒长的时间。当所述第一喷射时间段完成时,所述顶帽10进入持续五分钟的第一睡眠时间段。当所述第一睡眠期届满时,所述螺线管270致动以在第二喷射期期间排出流体。其后,所述顶帽10进入持续五分钟的第二睡眠时间段。在本例子钟,所述顶帽10的手动致动中断所述第二睡眠时间段,由此在第三喷射时间段期间分配流体。自动操作其后继续在睡眠和喷射时间段之间交替。在睡眠时间段期间的任何时间,使用者通过压下所述按钮38能手动地致动所述顶帽10一可选择的时间段或固定时间段。当所述手动喷射操作终止时,所述顶帽10完成被挂起的睡眠时间段。其后,进行喷射操作。
在另一实施方式中,所述开关组件264可以由光电池运动传感器代替和/或补充。也可以使用本领域技术人员已知的其它运动探测器,举例来说,被动红外运动传感器或热电运动传感器、红外反射运动传感器、超声波运动传感器、或者雷达或微波无线运动传感器。所述光电池收集周围的光并且允许所述控制电路探测其强度的任何变化。通过所述控制电路进行所述光电池输出的过滤。如果所述控制电路确定已经到达了临界光状态,举例来说,光强度改变的预定程度,所述控制电路产生信号以致动所述螺线管270。例如,如果所述顶帽10被放置在照明的浴室内,人走过所述传感器可能阻挡足够量的周围光到达所述传感器,从而使得所述控制电路致动所述螺线管270并且排出流体。
也可以预见,所述开关组件264可以用振动传感器、气味传感器、热传感器、或本领域技术人员已知的任何其它传感器代替或补充。可选地,多于一个传感器可以被设置在所述顶帽内以代替所述开关组件264或者与所述开关组件264结合使用。也可预计,本领域技术人员可以提供任何类型的传感器,所述任何类似的传感器单独地或者与所述开关组件264和/或其它传感器相结合以满足使用者的需求。在一个特定实施方式中,所述开关组件264和传感器被设置在同一顶帽内。在这种实施方式中,使用者可以选择使用基于定时器的开关组件264以自动地操作顶帽10的驱动单元260,或者使用者可以选择使用所述传感器以探测致动所述顶帽10之前的给定事件。可选地,所述顶帽10可以同时以基于定时器的操作模式和以基于传感器的操作模式操作。
当所述顶帽10在操作状态时所述LED268照亮所述透光棒82。在睡眠时间段期间所述LED268每十五秒间歇地闪烁一次。取决于所选择的操作模式,当喷射期开始即将来临时所述LED268的闪烁频率开始增加。所述LED268的更频繁的照亮用作所述顶帽10将要将流体内容物排出到环境中的可视信号。
可以想象,在不脱离这里所描述的原理的情况下所述驱动单元260能被布置在不同操作方位上。如同在图20中所示的那样,所述驱动单元260可以被布置在第一位置390,使得所述驱动单元260的中心轴线392垂直于所述容器30的纵轴线52。在另一实施方式中,所述驱动单元260的轴线392被布置在相对于所述容器30的纵轴线52成45度角的第二位置394。当然,所述驱动单元260可以被布置在许多方位中,其中所述驱动单元260的轴线392平行于、垂直于所述容器30的纵轴线52或者相对于所述容器30的纵轴线52成任何其它角度。对本领域技术人员而言,能如何调节所述钟锤杠杆308和/或所述连接器319以与所述分配构件290和所述驱动单元260保持操作连通是显而易见的。
也能想象,可以使用其它联动装置和机械***以将转动移动和横向力施加给所述阀杆172。例如,图20示出了具有被布置成相对于所述容器30的纵轴线成45度角的驱动单元260的实施方式。联动装置***400包括分别示为402、404、406的第一、第二、和第三臂。所述第一臂402通过销410连接到所述螺线管270的电枢408。所述第二臂404分别通过销412和414被连接到所述第一和第三臂402、406。所述第三臂406也一体地连接到所述分配构件290的一部分。当所述螺线管270被致动时,所述电枢408的线性运动推动所述第一臂402向下地并侧向地朝着所述分配构件290移动。所述第三臂406,其通过所述第二臂404被机械地连接到所述第一臂402,围绕所述纵轴线52转动地移动。本实施方式中的所述第三臂406的旋转位移使得所述分配构件290在与上面所披露的实施方式相反的方向上远离所述螺线管270地倾斜。然而,类似于前面的实施方式,所述分配构件290的旋转使得它的底端296与所述阀杆172相接合并且旋转地移动所述阀杆172。所述阀杆172的转动位移包括横向力分量,所述横向力分量作用于所述阀杆172以使其倾斜,并且打开所述容器30之内的所述阀组件从而从其排出流体。也可以想象,所述驱动单元260可以是相对于所述阀杆172和/或所述容器30的纵轴线52成任何角度的。进一步地,也可以想象,可以修改本实施方式的联动装置***400以配合在这里所示的任何顶帽内,例如,通过减小一个或多个臂402-406的大小。
图20示出了再另一实施方式,其中所述驱动单元260被布置成横向于所述容器30的纵轴线52。在致动序列期间,沿着具有垂直于所述容器30的纵轴线52的方向分量的路径引导所述电枢408,使得在伸展位置所述电枢408将冲击所述分配构件290。施加在所述分配构件290上的这种横向力将使得其围绕所述纵轴线52转动并且用于将所述阀杆置于打开位置,因此允许所述容器30的内容物排出。在不同的实施方式中,完全去除所述分配构件290并且在致动序列期间所述电枢208适于直接冲击所述阀杆172。在另一实施方式中,在所述电枢208的远端和所述分配构件290的一部分之间提供联动装置***(未示出)。
在图21所示的另一实施方式中,所述驱动单元260的螺线管用双金属致动器460代替。所述双金属致动器460包括双金属元件462,当被加热时其以预定的方式收缩和伸展。传统的双金属元件包括至少两个金属带,其展现出不同的热膨胀性能。通过将两个这种金属带连接在一起,例如通过铜焊、焊接或铆接,当应用已知程度的热时双金属致动器将经历预定的物理变形。所述双金属致动器460可以包括响应于来自计时器或传感器的电信号的自备(self contained)热源。例如,这里在先描述的控制电路可以适于响应于特定时间间隔的届满而致动加热器。本领域技术人员将会认识到,许多不同类型的加热器可以与这里所描述的实施方式一起使用,举例来说,电阻加热器,例如金属氧化物电阻器,可以与双金属致动器460一起使用。
在本实施方式中,当已知程度的热被提供给所述双金属致动器460时,所述双金属元件462的远端464在大体上横向于所述容器30的纵轴线52和所述致动器460的纵轴线466的方向上弯曲。例如,在本实施方式中,所述双金属元件462通过销468被固定到所述钟锤杠杆308。当所述双金属元件462由于热的应用而弯曲时,所述元件462的远端464在横向方向上朝着所述电路板230弯曲。所述双金属元件462的弯曲引起所述钟锤杠杆308和所述分配构件290朝向所述控制电路230的旋转位移。所述分配构件290的旋转将使得以类似于上面所讨论的方式从所述容器30排出流体。当热供应被终止或者进行冷却操作时,所述双金属元件462弯回到类似于在图21中所示的那样的预启动位置。本发明旨在所述双金属致动器460与这里所披露的任何方法和结构结合使用。进一步地,所述双金属致动器460可以被类似地放置在所述顶帽10之内的许多位置,举例来说,图21示出了以平行于和垂直于所述纵轴线52的方式布置的双金属致动器460。
在图22中所示的另一实施方式中,用压电线性马达740代替所述驱动单元260的螺线管。所述压电线性马达740包括压电元件472,当被提供特定程度的电时其以预定的方式线性地收缩和伸展。通过堆叠多个压电板或盘制造传统的压电致动器,其中板或盘的堆叠在平行于该堆叠的轴线的方向上线性地伸展。本实施方式的压电线性马达470可以包括马达,该马达类似于德国的卡尔斯鲁厄(Karlruhe)的Physik Instrumente GmbH&Co.制造的马达。也可以预期,本领域技术人员已知的其它压电装置可以与这里所披露的实施方式一起使用,举例来说,压电管致动器可以与这里所披露的实施方式一起使用。
在本实施方式中,当已知电压被应用到所述压电元件472时,其在平行于所述压电线性马达470的纵轴474的方向上线性地伸展。所述压电元件472的远端通过销476被连接到所述钟锤杠杆308。所述压电元件472的伸展使得其冲击所述钟锤杠杆308并且使得所述分配构件290以与其它实施方式相结合的在上面所描述的方式相类似的方式转动地移动。所述压电线性马达470的断电允许所述压电元件472收缩并且用于所述分配元件290和所述阀杆172返回到非致动位置,例如如同在图22中所示的那样。本发明旨在所述压电线性马达470与这里所披露的任意方法和结构结合使用。进一步地,所述压电线性马达470可以被类似地放置在所述顶帽10之内的许多位置处,举例来说,图22示出了平行于所述纵轴线52、垂在于所述轴线52以及相对于所述轴线52成45度角的压电线性马达470。
在图23和24中示出的再另一实施方式中,所述驱动单元260被电响应线480、举例来说,形状记忆合金(SMA)代替。在本实施方式中,所述SMA是镍钛合金,其由加利福尼亚(CA)的圣拉斐尔(San Rafael)的Mondo-tronics公司(Mondo-tronics,Inc.)以Muscle商标出售。当被供应有已知程度的热时所述电响应线480以可预知的方式收缩和伸展。当所述电响应线480被连接到一电源时,所述线480的电阻产生变形所述线480所需要的热。
在本实施方式中,线安装件482a和482b被设置在帽486的内表面484上。所述帽486包括底端488,所述底端488适于将所述帽486保持在所述容器30的上端28上。所述电响应线480包括围绕所述线安装件482a缠绕的第一端490和围绕所述线安装件482b缠绕的第二端492。然而,在其它实施方式中,所述电响应线480被机械地或者通过其它方式固定到所述线安装件482a、482b。在预致动位置,所述电响应线480与所述阀杆172间隔开或者是与所述阀杆172相接触至不足以打开所述容器30的所述阀组件的程度。当接收致动信号时,所述电响应线480收缩并且施加给所述阀杆172的横向运动足以完全或部分打开所述阀组件。可以预期,在其它实施方式中,所述线安装件482a、482b在所述表面486上可以与所述阀杆172间隔的更近或更远。进一步地,也可以预期,所述线安装件482a、482b围绕所述表面486的外周边可以彼此间隔的更近,其在一些实施方式中将增加所述阀杆172的横向位移。在不同的实施方式中,所述电响应线480接触与所述阀杆172流体连通的分配构件(未示出)而不是直接接触所述阀杆172,举例来说,类似于上面所讨论的分配构件290的构件。所述电响应线480的断电使得其伸展回到预致动位置,因此允许所述阀杆172返回到预致动位置。可以通过电路以类似于上面所讨论的任何操作方法的方式控制所述电响应线480的收缩和伸展序列。进一步地,可以根据这里所描述的实施方式修改本实施方式的结构部件例如所述帽486的形状、排出孔494的放置,或所述帽486被如何保持在所述容器30上。同样地,可以预期,可以修改这里所描述的任何实施方式以包括关于本实施方式的在这里所披露的内表面484或任何其它结构。
在图25-28所示的另一实施方式中,所述容器30被放置在具有框架550的装置500内。所述框架500包括基座部分552和锥形的圆柱形壁554。凹槽556被设置在所述基座部分552内,其适于将所述容器30接收在其内。柱558与所述基座部分552是一体的并且从所述基座部分552向上延伸。所述柱558延伸超出所述容器30的最大纵向长度。悬垂部分560在所述柱558的顶端562处从所述柱558垂直地延伸,并且被悬置在所述基座部分552的一部分上方。带有电枢566的螺线管564,其可以类似于上面所描述的螺线管270,被安装在设置于所述悬垂部分560中的开口568内。指状物570从所述柱558延伸并且被夹紧到所述容器30的颈部上,以大体上平行于所述柱558地保持所述容器30。所述电枢566朝着所述容器30向下延伸并且在它的远端574内设置有孔572。所述电枢566大体上平行于从所述容器30向上地延伸的阀杆172。构件576,其可以类似于上面所讨论的分配构件290,与所述阀杆172流体连通并且朝着所述电枢566向上地延伸。所述构件576也包括大体上从其横向地延伸的臂578。刚性U形线580包括第一和第二腿582、584,其中所述第一腿582被保持在所述电枢566的所述孔572内,并且所述第二腿584被保持在所述臂578中的开口588内。
在操作序列期间,所述操作序列可以包括这里所描述的任何操作序列或方法,在所述框架550内的控制电路(未示出)响应于时间届满的计时器或传感器输入,或手动致动产生电信号。所述信号开始所述电枢566的沿着大体上平行于所述容器30的纵轴线52的路径的移动。所述U形线580,其以与上面所描述的连接器318相类似的方式操作,使得将所述电枢566的线性运动转变成所述臂578和所述构件576的旋转位移。所述构件576的旋转位移使得横向力作用于所述阀杆172。如同上面所讨论的那样,施加足够的横向力到所述阀杆172使得所述容器30的阀组件打开并且将流体排出到环境中。
可以修改这里所描述的任何实施方式以包括不同的实施方式中所披露的任何结构或方法。进一步地,本发明不被限定到所示的特定类型的气雾剂容器。再更进一步地,可以修改这里所披露的任何实施方式的顶帽以与任何类型的气雾剂容器一起工作。
