[

It is preferable that the first and second pulleys 15 and 16 are timing pulleys and the timing belt 17 is a timing belt. The first and second pulleys 15 and 16 have the same diameter. Since the first screw shaft member 14 and the second screw shaft member 14 have the same diameter, length, and thread number, both sides of the lift block 18 move up and down at the same moving distance.

The opening and closing part 50 includes a first expansion part 51 having a large diameter in the cylinder 36 so as to be connected to the suction hole 32 and a second expansion part 51 provided below the suction hole 32, The first narrow portion 52 having a smaller diameter than the first narrow portion 52 and the second narrow portion 52 formed below the first narrow portion 52 and formed with the diameter of the first enlarged portion 51 to be connected to the moving hole 34, A second narrow portion 54 provided on the lower side of the second expansion portion 53 and provided in the nozzle member 40 and 140 to have a diameter of the first narrow portion 52 and a second narrow portion 54 formed on the lower side of the piston member 44 A first sealing portion 56 provided on an outer circumferential surface of the first narrow portion 52 to open and close the first narrow portion 52 while being moved to the first expanded portion 51 and the first narrow portion 52, And a second sealing portion 58 provided on the outer circumferential surface of the first narrow portion 44 and having a diameter sealing the second narrow portion 54 and opening and closing the second expanded portion 53 and the second narrow portion 54 .

The boundary portions of the first extension portion 51, the second narrow portion 52, the second extension portion 53, and the second narrow portion 54 are inclined.

The cylinder 36 and the piston member 44 may be provided with an auxiliary opening and closing unit 70 which prevents foreign substances from flowing into the piston member 44 when a predetermined amount of the liquid material is supplied by the piston member 44,

The fixed amount supply unit 20 sucks the liquid material through the cylinder 36 in a fixed amount by opening the suction hole 32 and blocking the discharge hole 42 by the opening and closing unit 50 and discharging the sucked liquid material through the suction hole 32 and the opening of the discharge hole 42 to supply the liquid to the container.

The liquid material conveyance section 60 includes a horizontal drive motor 62, a lever member 64 coupled to the shaft of the horizontal drive motor 62, and a connecting member 65 integrally connected to the lever member 64. [ A horizontal piston member 66 coupled to the connecting member 65 and a guide hole 69 for horizontally moving the horizontal piston member 66 and sucking and discharging the liquid material through the moving hole 34 And a horizontal block 68 formed.

The horizontal drive motor 62 may be a general motor or a servo motor. When the plurality of horizontal piston members 66 move backward through the connecting member 65 as the lever member 64 is rotated by the rotation of the horizontal driving motor 62, the liquid material flows into the suction hole 32, Through a guide hole (34), and is sucked by a guide hole (69)

At this time, as shown in the first drawing of FIG. 4 and the first and second drawings of FIG. 5, the opening / closing part 50 is in a state where the suction hole 32 is opened and the discharge hole 42 is blocked.

That is, in the opening / closing part 50, the first sealing portion 56 of the piston member 44 is moved downward and is located at the second extending portion 53 away from the first narrow portion 52 of the cylinder 36, The backward movement of the horizontal piston member 66 sucks the liquid material through the suction hole 32 and is guided through the moving hole 34 to the guide hole 69 of the horizontal block 68, So that the liquid material can be sucked in a predetermined amount. Since the second sealing portion 58 of the piston member 44 moves downward and hermetically contacts the second narrow portion 54 of the nozzle members 40 and 140, the liquid material is supplied to the receiving container through the discharge hole 42 .

On the other hand, when the piston member 44 further moves upward by the operation of the driving unit 10, as shown in the second drawing of FIG. 4 and the third drawing of FIG. 5, the opening / closing unit 50 moves the suction hole 32 And the discharge hole 42 is opened.

The first sealing portion 56 of the piston member 44 moves up and away from the second expansion portion 53 of the cylinder 36 to move to the first narrow portion 52, The second sealing portion 58 of the piston member 44 moves up and away from the second narrow portion 54 and is located at the second expansion portion 53 so that the exhaust hole 32 42 are opened.

Subsequently, when the plurality of horizontal piston members 66 are moved forward through the connecting member 65 as the lever member 64 is rotated by the rotation of the horizontal driving motor 62, 69 are supplied to the receiving container through the moving hole 34 and the discharge hole 42 of the nozzle member 40,

The discharge holes 42 are provided on the inner circumferential surface of the nozzle members 40 and 140, but may also be provided on the inner circumferential surfaces of the end portions of the cylinders 36.

The horizontal blocks 68 are arranged at right angles to the installation blocks 30 arranged in the vertical direction, that is, in the horizontal direction.

A plurality of guide holes 67 are formed in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal block 68 and a horizontal piston member 66 is connected to each of the guide holes 69.

The auxiliary opening and closing part 70 always seals between the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 36 and the outer circumferential surface of the piston member 44 when the piston member 44 is moved up and down by the driving part 10 to supply the liquid material, And prevents the foreign matter from falling into the liquid material through the bearing portion and the connecting portion that support the piston member 44 through the cylinder 36.

The auxiliary opening and closing part 70 includes a supplementary expanding part 72 formed to have a large diameter inside the cylinder 36, an auxiliary narrowing part 74 formed to have a smaller diameter than the auxiliary expanding part 72, A cleaning liquid supply part 76 formed to communicate with the auxiliary expansion part 72 and a sealing part which is in close contact with the auxiliary narrow part 74 when supplying the liquid material by the fixed amount supplying part 20, And an auxiliary sealing part (78) for moving the cleaning part (72) to allow the cleaning liquid to flow through the cleaning liquid supply part (76).

The nozzle member 40 is detached at the time of cleaning, and a discharge guide member 80 is coupled to the installation block 30 to guide the cleaning liquid. The discharge guide member 80 may be coupled through a cap member (not shown) of a screw or a star so as to be connected to the cylinder 36 at the end of the mounting block 30. [

The cleaning process of the liquid-phase water supply device will be described with reference to FIG. First, the first screw shaft member 13, the first pulley 14, the second pulley 16, and the second screw shaft member 14 are rotated by rotating the drive shaft 12 of the drive unit 10 The elevating block 18 is moved up and down with respect to the mounting block 30 through the threaded portion of the elevating block 18. Subsequently, a plurality of piston members 44 integrally connected to the lifting block 18 are elevated and lowered together with the lifting and lowering of the lifting block 18, and the auxiliary lifting portion 78 of the auxiliary lifting and lowering portion 70 is lifted and lowered by the auxiliary lifting portion 72 As shown in Fig.

 Then, the cleaning liquid is introduced into the inflow hole 32 through the cleaning liquid supply nozzle (not shown) in the storage container 2. The auxiliary expanding portion 72, the auxiliary narrowing portion 74 and the auxiliary sealing portion 78 for preventing the foreign substances generated during filling from being supplied while the cleaning liquid is supplied through the cleaning liquid supply portion 76 of the auxiliary opening / It cleans the surface of the cleaning solution.

Thus, the cleaning liquid supplied from the cleaning liquid supply portion 76 of the cleaning liquid supply nozzle (not shown) in the storage container 2 and the auxiliary opening and closing portion 70) are collected and moved into the cylinder 35, The inside of the guide hole 69 is cleaned through the moving hole 34 and discharged to the discharge guide member 80 provided at the lower portion of the guide hole 69. At this time, since the horizontal piston member 66 is disposed at the extended portion of the guide hole 69 through the maximum movement to the left, supply and passage of the cleaning liquid is facilitated. Further, another part of the cleaning liquid is discharged through the discharge hole 42 while being discharged through the discharge guide member 80 coupled to the lower portion of the discharge hole 42. Through this process, the liquid water supply device 100 can clean both the portion where the liquid material is filled and the portion where the liquid material is prevented from falling during the filling.

The sealing member 90 for sealing may be provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of the first and second sealing portions 56 and 58 and the auxiliary sealing portion 78. The contact member 90 is made of an O-ring or the like made of rubber. Although the contact member 90 is shown as having a rectangular cross section, it may have a circular cross section or other cross sections of various shapes if necessary.

Accordingly, the vertical arrangement type liquid material supply device according to the embodiment of the present invention can supply the liquid material efficiently by supplying the liquid material to the storage container by using the vertical fixed amount supply part vertically moving up and down. In addition, since the vertically moving lifting and lowering members are separately provided in the installation block, the maintenance and repairing costs can be reduced by replacing the integral rotary member as a whole.
