  • the metering pump 10 according to Fig. 4 has in contrast to the embodiment of Fig. 3 special positioning means 44a and 44b. These are in the embodiment of Fig. 4 formed as projections on the housing of the metering pump 10 with corresponding control slopes. They are in the embodiment of Fig. 4 configured such that a kind of receptacle 45 for the transmitting unit 40 is provided on the metering pump 10.
  • This special positioning serves to reliably reach a mounting position in which the transmitting element 41 on the transmitting unit 40 and the receiving element 35 on the metering pump 10 are as directly as possible adjacent to each other, and are positioned as accurately as possible relative to each other. In this way, the transmission of metering information and also the transmission of electrical power for operating the receiving element 35 and for operating the storage element 36 can be optimized.
  • the metering pump 10 has special fastening means 47a, 47b.
  • counter-fastening means 47c, 47d are advantageously arranged on the transmitting unit 40.
  • the fastening means 47a, 47b and counter-fastening means 47c, 47d comprise in the embodiment of Fig. 4 Magnets 47a, 47b, 47c, 47d. These, provided in the embodiment four magnets, are of course to be understood as exemplary only. It suffices the arrangement of a single magnet.
  • the magnets allow a detachable attachment of the transmitting unit 40 to the metering pump 10.
  • the positioning means, counter-positioning means and fastening means and counter-fastening means are provided in other ways.
  • attachment of the transmitting unit 40 to the metering pump 10 can take place with the aid of bayonet-like fastening elements, hooks or claw-like holder elements.
  • the metering pump 10 has a pump housing cover, which can be removed, and can be replaced by a correspondingly designed transmitting unit 40.
  • transmission unit 40 is equipped with a battery 49 which, when the transmission unit 40 is in operation, enables a transmission of dosing information and a transmission of electrical energy for operation of the reception element 35.
  • the battery 49 is connected via a connecting line 51 to a control unit 48 of the transmitting unit 40.
  • the control unit 48 is connected to the transmitting element 41 via a further connecting line 50.
  • control unit 48 of the transmitting unit 40 is also connected to a connection 53 via a further connecting line 52.
  • the connection 53 allows a connection of the transmission unit 40 via an electrical line 54 to a handset 55.
  • the transmitting unit 40 is in this embodiment the Fig. 4 designed as a kind of adapter.
  • the handset 55 may be connected via line 54, fixed to the control unit 40, but spaced from it, and conveniently operated. Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous to apply if due to special mounting positions or installation situations of the metering pump 10, an immediate accessibility of the metering pump is not given.
  • a computer or laptop 56 can be connected to the line 54.
  • This alternative is in Fig. 4 merely hinted.
  • the embodiment of the FIG. 4 is very similar, can be dispensed with a battery 49 in the transmitting unit 40. Instead, there is a battery or other suitable energy storage in the handset 55. The electrical energy to be transmitted from the transmitting unit to the receiving element 35 is received by the transmitting unit 40 from the handset 55 in this case.
  • the transmitting unit 40 - as in the embodiment of the Fig. 4 - Is again designed as a kind of adapter.
  • an electronic module 57 is arranged in this embodiment, which can communicate wirelessly by transmitting electromagnetic waves with a device 58 located in the handset 55.
  • a computer or laptop 56 shows Fig. 5 a computer or laptop 56 containing such a device 59.
  • the blocks 57 and 58 and 57 and 59 allow between a unidirectional or bi-directional exchange of dosing information over long distances.
  • a Bluetooth standard can be used here.
  • the electrical power for supplying power to the receiving element 35 and the storage element 36 of the metering pump 10 can be provided by the battery 49 in the transmitting unit 40.
  • the transmission of the electrical supply energy from the transmitting unit 40 to the receiving element 35 preferably directly from the transmitting element 41, but possibly also from a coupled to the transmitting element 41, separate, not shown in the drawings, electronic component can be made.
  • the dosing pump 10 After transmission of the dosing information from the transmitting unit 40 to the receiving element 35 and after storage or storage of this dosing information in the storage element 36, the dosing pump 10 from a target device 11 at any later time a voltage applied to the relay terminal 16 Supply voltage received. As soon as the controller 20 again receives a supply voltage via the relay connection 16, it can undertake a correspondingly updated control of the pump drive 19 by resorting to the dosing information stored in the storage element 36. For example, a changed Dosiermenge be taken into account by the pump drive 19 acts longer or shorter or faster or slower on the rotor 18 of the peristaltic pump 10 and correspondingly changes the Dosiermenge.
  • a storage of information by the controller 20 can also take place in the storage element 36 of the metering pump 10.
  • the number of dosing operations performed or the total amount of medium pumped by this dosing pump 10 can be recorded and transmitted to the transmitting unit 40 when the connection between the transmitting unit 40 and the receiving element 35 is established.
  • metering pumps that promote only one medium. It is clear to the person skilled in the art that metering pumps according to the invention can also convey a plurality of media. Also, corresponding transmission units can transmit dosing information for different media.
  • a metering pump 10 and a transmitting element 61 may be disposed within the housing 31 of the metering pump.
  • the dosing information contained in the memory element 36 and written by the controller 20, for example information about the number of dosing operations performed or information about the total with this metering pump funded amount of medium can be read by a receiving unit 63 having a receiving element 62.
  • the metering pump 10 of Fig. 6 also has a power supply unit 39, which is able to receive the electric power for powering the transmitting element 61 and the memory element 36 wirelessly from the receiving unit 63, in particular from the receiving element 62.
