Solution Overview

Problem

Existing dispensing pumps face limitations in dispensing liquids with high viscosity at high speeds due to structural constraints, particularly in the underfill process of semiconductor manufacturing, where the speed of the valve rod descent affects the efficiency and accuracy of resin dispensing.

Innovation Solution

A valve accelerating type dispensing pump is designed with a cam member featuring inclined cam protrusions and a cam follower with rollers that interact to enhance the descending speed of the valve rod, utilizing an elastic member and accelerating member to increase the rotational range and speed of the cam follower, allowing for faster dispensing of high viscosity liquids.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If a conventional cam and cam follower structure is used, then the pump can dispense liquid, but the valve rod descent speed is limited and cannot dispense high viscosity liquid at high speed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalve rod descent speedVSAvoidcam structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cam follower is designed to rotate relative to the cam member during operation, transforming the conventional static follower structure into a dynamic one. This relative rotation allows the follower to better track the cam profile and increases the valve rod descent speed, enabling high viscosity liquid dispensing at high speed while maintaining structural feasibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The cam follower is divided into multiple rollers arranged circumferentially, with each roller contacting a different portion of the cam profile. This segmentation allows parallel interaction with multiple cam surfaces, effectively multiplying the descent speed while distributing the mechanical stress across multiple contact points

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 1:

The cam follower is designed to rotate relative to the cam member during operation, transforming the conventional static follower structure into a dynamic one. This relative rotation allows the follower to better track the cam profile and increases the valve rod descent speed, enabling high viscosity liquid dispensing at high speed while maintaining structural feasibility

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple cylindrical rollers are arranged circumferentially on the cam follower, creating a curved contact interface with the cam member. This spherical/curved arrangement allows smooth relative rotation and continuous contact throughout the cam profile, enhancing speed while maintaining operational simplicity
