Abstract

A device for the metered delivery of a viscous liquid has a pump body with a drill hole accommodating two pistons which connects a first chamber serving as an intake chamber and a second chamber serving as a discharge chamber. Two swivel arms driven by two cam discs are foreseen as the drive mechanism for the back and forth movement of the two pistons.

For the metered delivery of an adhesive which contains flakes of silver the drill hole is designed such that it serves for guiding the pistons as well as for sealing the pump path.

Claims

1. A device for the metered delivery of a viscous liquid, comprising:

a first and second piston consisting of a selected one of hard metal or tool steel,

a pump body comprising a first sleeve consisting of a selected one of hard metal or ceramic and having a first drill hole accommodating the pistons as well as two further drill holes which run orthogonally to the first drill hole and one end of which opens out into the first drill hole and the other end of which opens out into an intake chamber or a discharge chamber in the pump body, wherein the first drill hole and the first and second piston each form a slot seal and wherein the pistons each stick out at a respective end of the first drill hole, and

a drive mechanism for moving the pistons back and forth such that a width of a slit formed between the pistons varies during the back and forth movement.

2. The device according to claim 1, the pump body further including two blind holes, wherein the ends of the first drill hole of the first sleeve open out into the blind holes.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the first sleeve and the pump body consist of one piece of material.

4. The device according to claim 2, wherein the first sleeve and the pump body consist of one piece of material.

5. The device according to claim 1, the pump body further comprising two bearings in each of which a second or third sleeve, respectively, is movably supported, whereby an end of the first piston is secured in the second sleeve and an end of the second piston is secured in the third sleeve, the second and third sleeve forming part of the drive mechanism.

6. The device according to claim 2, the pump body further comprising two bearings in each of which a second or third sleeve, respectively, is movably supported, whereby an end of the first piston is secured in the second sleeve and an end of the second piston is secured in the third sleeve, the second and third sleeve forming part of the drive mechanism.

7. The device according to claim 1, wherein a radius of the first drill hole is manufactured within a tolerance of ±

0.5 μ

m and a radius of the pistons with a tolerance of ±

0.15 μ

m.

8. The device according to claim 2, wherein a radius of the first drill hole is manufactured within a tolerance of ±

m.

9. The device according to claim 3, wherein a radius of the first drill hole is manufactured within a tolerance of ±

0.5 μ

m and a radius of the pistons with a tolerance of ±

0.15 μ

m.

10. The device according to claim 4, wherein a radius of the first drill hole is manufactured within a tolerance of ±

0.5 μ

m and a radius of the pistons with a tolerance of ±

0.15 μ

m.

11. The device according to claim 5, wherein a radius of the first drill hole is manufactured within a tolerance of ±

0.5 μ

m and a radius of the pistons with a tolerance of ±

0.15 μ

m.

12. Use of the device according to claim 1 on a writing head for the application of adhesive onto a substrate which is to be equipped with a semiconductor chip.

13. Use of the device according to claim 2 on a writing head for the application of adhesive onto a substrate which is to be equipped with a semiconductor chip.

14. Use of the device according to claim 3 on a writing head for the application of adhesive onto a substrate which is to be equipped with a semiconductor chip.

15. Use of the device according to claim 4 on a writing head for the application of adhesive onto a substrate which is to be equipped with a semiconductor chip.

16. Use of the device according to claim 5 on a writing head for the application of adhesive onto a substrate which is to be equipped with a semiconductor chip.

17. Use of the device according to claim 6 on a writing head for the application of adhesive onto a substrate which is to be equipped with a semiconductor chip.

18. Use of the device according to claim 7 on a writing head for the application of adhesive onto a substrate which is to be equipped with a semiconductor chip.

19. Use of the device according to claim 8 on a writing head for the application of adhesive onto a substrate which is to be equipped with a semiconductor chip.

20. Use of the device according to claim 9 on a writing head for the application of adhesive onto a substrate which is to be equipped with a semiconductor chip.
