[0031] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a precision metering pump with an anti-drip function includes a shell 1, the shell 1 is provided with a liquid inlet and outlet 1a, the shell 1 is provided with a first piston assembly 2, a second piston assembly 3 and a plunger 4, the plunger 4 is connected to the second piston assembly 3, and the shell 1 is provided with a first pneumatic drive assembly 51 for controlling the movement of the first piston assembly 2 and a second pneumatic drive assembly 52 for controlling the movement of the second piston assembly 3.

[0032] The housing 1 is equipped with a first micrometer assembly 6 and a second micrometer assembly 7. The second micrometer assembly 7 is provided with a shaft 81 in the central axial direction. A top block 82 is fixed to the tail end of the shaft 81. The first micrometer assembly 6 is assembled on the top block 82.

[0033] The first piston assembly 2 includes a first piston 21 and a first connecting rod 22 , and the shaft 81 is connected to the first connecting rod 22 .

[0034] The second piston assembly 3 includes a second piston 31 and a second connecting rod 32 , and the plunger 4 is connected to the second connecting rod 32 .

[0035] The first micrometer assembly 6 includes a first knob 61 and a first movable sleeve 62 . A locking pin 63 is arranged in the first movable sleeve 62 . The axial movement of the first movable sleeve 62 is controlled by the first knob 61 .

[0036] The first knob 61 is threadedly connected to the installation part. The first knob 61 is rotated to realize the axial movement of the first knob 61, and drive the axial movement of the first movable sleeve 62 and the locking needle 63, so as to adjust the axial position of the locking needle 63 by the first knob 61, thereby realizing the adjustment of the conveying amount.

[0037] The second micrometer assembly 7 includes a second knob 71 and a second movable sleeve 72 . The top block 82 is fixed to the second movable sleeve 72 . The axial movement of the second movable sleeve 72 is controlled by the second knob 71 .

[0038] Similarly, the second knob 71 is screwed to the mounting portion, and the second knob 71 is rotated to achieve axial movement of the second knob 71 and drive the axial movement of the second movable sleeve 72 to adjust the position of the top block 82, thereby adjusting the back-suction amount.

[0039] A buffer cavity 1b is provided in the housing 1 at a position corresponding to the liquid inlet and outlet 1a.

[0040] The cross section of the buffer chamber 1b is an inverted trumpet-shaped structure.

[0041] The setting of the buffer chamber 1b can buffer the instantaneous high pressure at the inlet and outlet 1a, thereby preventing the instantaneous high pressure from affecting the smooth operation of the pump.

[0042] A wet cup 9 is provided on the housing 1 .

[0043] A sliding sleeve 41 is disposed between the housing 1 and the plunger 4 , and a plurality of sealing members 42 are disposed between the sliding sleeve 41 and the plunger 4 .

[0044] The metering pump has a wide range of application scenarios, such as the delivery of fluid substances such as food liquid and electrolyte. The wet cup 9 can play a lubricating role to reduce friction resistance, reduce the wear of the seal 42 caused by the reciprocating motion of the plunger 4, and increase the service life of the seal 42; in addition, it can also prevent material crystallization from affecting the normal operation of the metering pump.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] The metering pump of the utility model drives the reciprocating motion of the first piston assembly 2 through the first pneumatic drive assembly 51, drives the reciprocating motion of the second piston assembly 3 through the second pneumatic drive assembly 52, and realizes the movement of the piston through gas circuit switching.

[0047] When aspirating liquid, the second pneumatic drive assembly 52 drives the second piston assembly 3 to move backward together with the first piston assembly 2, and drives the plunger 4 to move backward together, so that a pressure difference is formed in the cavity of the housing 1, thereby sucking the liquid into the pump from the liquid inlet and outlet 1a. The first piston assembly 2 moves backward, which will drive the shaft 81 and the top block 82 to move backward together. When the top block 82 and the locking needle 63 are in contact, the axial position of the locking needle 63 is adjusted by the first knob 61, thereby achieving the adjustment of the delivery amount. In the state of aspirating liquid, the first piston assembly 2 moves backward, and the maximum backward distance of the first piston assembly 2 is limited by the locking needle 63. The locking needle 63 is used for mechanical limiting, thereby controlling the injection amount. The injection amount of the metering pump is changed by controlling the stroke of the first piston assembly 2.

[0048] During injection, the first piston assembly 2 and the second piston assembly 3 move forward, and the second piston assembly 3 drives the plunger 4 to move forward together, thereby pumping the liquid in the cavity out of the pump. During injection, the shaft 81, the top block 82 and the first piston assembly 2 move forward together until the top block is blocked by the second knob 71 and stops moving forward, and the first piston assembly 2 continues to move forward.

[0049] Due to the limitation of the second micrometer assembly 7, a gap will be generated between the first piston assembly 2 and the second piston assembly 3 during the injection. After the injection is completed, the first pneumatic drive assembly 51 drives the first piston assembly 2 to continue to maintain the original forward movement trend, and the air circuit of the second pneumatic drive assembly 52 is switched, so that the second piston assembly 3 moves backward. At this time, the liquid outlet circuit is not closed. Through the backward movement of the second piston assembly 3, the liquid hanging at the liquid inlet and outlet 1a and the residual liquid in the pipeline are sucked back. When the second piston assembly 3 touches the first piston assembly 2, the liquid outlet circuit is closed, the liquid suction circuit is opened, and then the air circuit of the first pneumatic drive assembly 51 is switched, so that the first piston assembly 2 and the second piston assembly 3 move backward together to suck liquid.

[0050] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the implementation mode and protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should be aware that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
