Syringe end cap with leak-proof structure {END CAPS FOR SYRINGE HAVING LEAKAGE-PROOF STRUCTURE}

The present invention relates to a defoaming device and a cap of a syringe, and more specifically, in a mixing process using centrifugal to remove microbubbles from a filler in a syringe, it is possible to completely remove microbubbles in a syringe while preventing reverse flow of the filler. It is about the end caps to be able to.

A light emission diode (hereinafter referred to as an LED) as a light-emitting device is compact, has high efficiency, can embody bright and various colors of light emission, and has excellent driving characteristics, and has excellent characteristics in repetition of vibration and on-off operation.

LEDs are used as light sources of various colors because they can constitute a light source by changing compound semiconductor materials such as GaAs, AlGaAs, GaN, InGaN, and AlGaInP. As the demand for high output and high luminance performance for such LEDs for lighting increases, research is being actively conducted to improve the performance and reliability of the LED package.

In order to improve the performance of LED products, it is required to produce an LED package having excellent light efficiency, as well as an LED package that extracts light effectively, has excellent color purity, and has uniform characteristics between products. In order to implement white light through such an LED, a yellow phosphor, a green phosphor, and a red phosphor are generally formed on a blue or ultraviolet LED chip in a state in which a phosphor layer is mixed. Such a fluorescent layer forms an LED package by applying a fluorescent liquid in which a phosphor is mixed with an epoxy resin or a silicone resin on a chip using a dispenser and then drying.

In such a dispenser, a syringe filled with a resin material is disposed, and the filling material is injected into the substrate at an appropriate amount and pressure through a needle.

In particular, in the case of a semiconductor manufacturing process, it is required to work in a state where the components of the filler are sufficiently mixed and defoamed.However, when a resin material having a high viscosity and a material having different specific gravity are mixed, the process for removing bubbles is difficult. .

Various defoaming devices have been developed to remove microbubbles, and Korean Patent No. 10-1400144 discloses a centrifugal separator, which is one of the representative types of defoaming devices.

The centrifugal separator is shown in Fig. 1, and a detailed look at this is as follows.

Including a rotating shaft 111 rotated by driving a motor, a rotating body 112 connected to an upper end of the rotating shaft 111, and a mounting portion 114 coupled to a hinge shaft formed on the rotating body 112 Consists of, and a plurality of syringes 117 are mounted on the mounting portion 114. When the mounting unit vertically and rotates by centrifugal force and rotational motion, the filled contents are subjected to strong rotational centrifugal force, so that the microbubbles existing inside are escaped and the defoaming process proceeds.

However, during the degassing process, materials having different specific gravity are separated according to the centrifugal force, and there are problems in that the filling material is leaked along with the air bubbles. In case of leakage of such fillings, equipment contamination as well as in serious cases may cause the syringe to not be used normally, but there is no countermeasure for this.

The present invention has been conceived to solve the above problem, and has a leakage prevention structure with excellent bubble removal performance while preventing the leakage of the internal solution during the degassing process of the filler contained in the syringe of the dispenser that can be applied to various production processes. Its purpose is to provide an end cap for a syringe.

In addition, the present invention provides an end cap of a syringe having a leak-preventing structure excellent in maintenance by adopting a simple and reliable structure to prevent the backflow of the filling, thereby improving the economic efficiency of the manufacturing process and replacing consumable parts. There is also a purpose.

In the present invention, as an end cap covering the opening of the syringe, a top plate 1010 covering the upper side of the syringe opening, a protrusion 1100 inserted into the syringe, and at least one communication hole 1110 communicating the inside and outside of the protrusion are provided. Of a syringe having a leakage preventing structure including an absorber 3000 that is inserted into the body part 1000 and the receiving space formed inside the protrusion and absorbs liquid from the fluid flowing into the communication hole, passes the gas, and discharges it to the outside. Provide an end cap. Therefore, the reliability of the degassing process is improved by differentially performing gas and liquid leakage.

In one embodiment, it is preferable that the sidewall of the protrusion is disposed to be spaced apart from the inner wall of the syringe, and a communication hole is formed in the sidewall.

The body portion may have an insertion portion protruding from the lower portion of the upper plate to be in close contact with the inner wall of the syringe and disposed to be spaced apart from the side wall of the protruding portion. Accordingly, the transfer of pressure is relaxed, and the amount of leakage of the filling material can be minimized.

It is preferable to further include a cover member (2000) having a plurality of upper holes (2001) inserted into the receiving space to fix the absorber and through which gas passes.
The ring-shaped spaced space in which the side wall of the protrusion and the inner wall of the insertion part are spaced apart may function to relieve the flow of fluid by centrifugal force.

The cover member may include a rib portion 2130 protruding in an outer circumferential direction corresponding to a mounting groove 1130 formed on an inner wall portion of the protruding portion.

In addition, in the cover member, a portion of the supporting portion formed on the side surface is opened so that at least a portion of the absorber is in close contact with the inner wall portion of the protruding portion, so that the reliability of operation is further improved.

Through the end cap of the syringe according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent external contamination and change in capacity due to leakage of liquid fillers while ensuring the degassing performance by simply applying the end cap of a simple structure, thereby improving the accuracy and economy of the degassing process. have.

Hereinafter, an end cap of a syringe having a leakage preventing structure according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following description, when a part is "connected" with another part, this includes not only a case in which it is directly connected, but also a case in which another element or device is interposed therebetween. In addition, when a part'includes' a certain component, it means that other components may be further included rather than excluding other components unless specifically stated to the contrary.

The present invention is basically an end cap covering the opening of the syringe, the main body having a top plate covering the top of the opening of the syringe and a protrusion through which a communication hole communicating inside and outside the syringe is formed and accommodated in the inner space of the protrusion It provides an end cap of a syringe having a leak-proof structure comprising an absorber.

The dispenser device or defoaming device in which the syringe of the present invention is disposed may be applied to various types of equipment, and includes a vacuum defoaming device or a centrifugal defoaming device, and in some cases, a centrifugal mixer is also included in the equipment to which the present invention is applied.

In the basic description of the present invention, a resin material and a mixture thereof to be filled in the manufacture of an LED chip are described as an example of a filler, but the filler is not limited.

2 and 3 are perspective views of an end cap of a syringe having a leakage preventing structure according to the present invention according to the present invention.

The syringe in which the end cap of the syringe having the leak-proof structure of the present invention is mounted is of any shape and size as long as it has a nozzle at the end and an opening for inputting a filler. In addition, in the description of the present invention, the opening side is defined as the upper side based on the upright state of the syringe, and the direction described in the present invention may be changed according to the direction of the use state.

It includes a body part 1000 forming an overall shape mounted to the opening of the syringe of the present invention, and an absorber 3000 that is coupled to the inside of the body part 1000 to absorb the filling material flowing back through the gas flow path. It is done by doing.

In consideration of the convenience and economy in manufacturing, it is preferable that the upper plate 1010 and the protrusion 1100 are formed as an integral molded article. The upper plate 1010 is formed to cover the opening of the syringe, and a predetermined opening (reference number not indicated) is formed approximately at the center side. With such an opening, the absorber 3000 may be inserted and withdrawn into the receiving space inside the protrusion 1100, and the cover member 2000 may be disposed to fix the absorber 3000, which will be described later. do.

A hook 1011 is formed at one or more portions below the upper plate 1010 to be engaged with a step or a locking groove at the upper end of the syringe to maintain a fastened state. The structure for such fastening may be variously selected. In some cases, a screw thread is formed additionally or interchangeably with the hook 1011 on the outer periphery of the insertion part 1200 which is extended to the lower side of the upper plate 1010 and inserted into the inner periphery of the opening of the syringe. Bonding can also be achieved in a threaded manner.

As described above, the insertion part 1200 is formed in a shape extending to the lower portion of the upper plate 1010 and formed in a cylindrical shape with an open lower portion. Some or all of the insertion part 1200 is in close contact with the inner circumference of the opening of the syringe to perform a function of sealing so that the internal filling material does not flow back. In the illustrated embodiment, an example in which the outer circumferential side of the insertion part 1200 is pressed into the opening side of the syringe is combined.

The protrusion 1100 is disposed toward the inner circumference of the insertion part 1200 and may have a column shape with a lower portion closed and an open upper portion. The protrusion 1100 is inserted into the syringe and includes at least one communication hole 1110 capable of communicating the inner and outer spaces. The shape of the protrusion 1100 is optional if the receiving space of the absorber 3000 is formed therein, but considering that the shape of the entrance of the syringe is circular, it is preferable to have a cylindrical shape as shown in the illustrated example.

The location, size, and shape of the communication hole 1110 formed in the protrusion 1100 will also be optional. However, when considering the case where the centrifugal force is provided upward and the fine bubbles escape, the communication with the bottom of the protrusion 1100 If the hole 1110 is disposed, the flow of fluid can act in the direction of force, and the possibility of leakage will be high. Therefore, it is preferable that the communication hole 1110 is provided on the sidewall of the protrusion 1100. In this case, the height at which the communication hole 1110 is disposed may be disposed below the lower end of the insertion part 1200.

Additionally, the communication hole 1110 may have a shape covered with a mesh net instead of a simple opening, and in this case, the permeability may be further lowered due to the viscosity of the fluid. In this embodiment, the communication hole 1110 may be formed with a mesh net and formed at the bottom of the protrusion 1100.

As described above, when the absorber 3000 is provided in the protrusion 1100 and the communication hole 1110 is formed on the sidewall of the protrusion 1100, the microbubbles capable of relatively free flow flow into the communication hole 1110 and relatively smoothly. It may pass through the absorber 3000 and be discharged to the upper side of the cover member 2000, and since the filling material has a high specific gravity and viscosity, the possibility of flowing out into the communication hole 1110 disposed on the sidewall is relatively low, but some communication holes 1110 Even if it leaks through ), it can be prevented from being absorbed by the absorber 3000 and leaking to the outside.

Referring to FIG. 2, the cover member 2000 covers the opening of the body part 1000 to fix the absorber 3000 into the receiving space, but a plurality of upper holes 2001 are formed at the top thereof. It functions to discharge the gas passing into the accommodation space to the outside.

In the above embodiment, the sidewall of the protrusion 1100 may be spaced apart from the inner wall of the opening side of the syringe by a predetermined distance so that the gas can pass through the communication hole 1110. At this time, when the sidewall of the protrusion 1100 is spaced apart from the inner circumference of the insertion part 1200 as shown, a predetermined vortex formation space is formed and a buffer space capable of reducing the fluid flow by centrifugal force to some extent Will be able to function. Therefore, as in the illustrated example, the protrusion 1100 protrudes more downward than the lower end of the insertion unit 1200, but a ring-shaped space is formed between the inner wall of the insertion unit 1200 and the outer wall of the protrusion 1100, It is preferable that the communication hole 1110 is arranged toward the spaced space.

Referring to the perspective view, the body portion 1000 is made in the form of a flat plate from the top, and the overall shape is optional. In the illustrated embodiment, since the two hooks 1011 are arranged in a shape symmetrical to each other, the hook 1011 may be arranged in an oval shape with a larger radius.

The receiving space of the main body 1000 is formed in a shape that is recessed downward from the center of the upper plate 1010, and accordingly, a protrusion 1100 is formed. As described above, the insertion part 1200 may be formed by being spaced apart from the outer circumferential side of the protrusion 1100.

An absorber 3000 is disposed inside the receiving space so that the gas flowing in from the communication hole 1110 on the side is passed through and discharged to the upper side of the cover member 2000, and the leaking liquid is absorbed and the filler is not discharged to the outside. Do not.

The absorber 3000 may be exchangeable or detachable, and accordingly, a cover member 2000 that is inserted into the receiving space and fixes the absorber 3000 is preferably further disposed. In some cases, the absorbent body 3000 and the cover member 2000 may be coupled to each other by bonding or fastening.

The cover member 2000 is inserted and fixed on the inner wall side of the protrusion 1100 on the outer circumferential side while enclosing the flat portion having a plurality of upper holes 2001 at the top and the absorber 3000 by extending to the bottom. It can have a supporting part that can be used.

The shape of the support portion in the cover member 2000 is optional, but at least a portion of the absorber 3000 contacts the inner wall of the protrusion 1100 so that the fluid flowing into the communication hole 1110 can pass through the absorber 3000. It is desirable to do it. In this regard, a detailed description will be described later.

Figure 5 is a perspective view for explaining the main body in the end cap of the syringe having a leakage preventing structure of the present invention.

As described above, the main body 1000 has an opening formed at an approximately center side of the upper plate 1010, and an approximately cylindrical accommodation space 1101 is formed therein. As described above, the absorber 3000 may be inserted into the receiving space 1101 and the cover member 2000 may be supported from the top and side surfaces.

The receiving space 1101 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom portion closed, but a communication hole 1110, which is one or more through holes, is disposed on a side wall to circulate the interior and exterior spaces.

On the other hand, when the cover member 2000 is mounted, it is preferable that a predetermined guide formed in the vertical direction is formed so as to guide the correct insertion and eliminate undesirable movement in the circumferential direction. A mounting groove 1130 recessed in the outer circumferential direction may be formed in a part.

Insertion and extraction may be guided while the protruding portion of the cover member is inserted into the mounting groove 1130, and an embodiment of the cover member 2000 related thereto will be described later. However, in some cases, it may be considered that the mounting groove 1130 is formed in the cover member 2000 and a portion protruding in the inner circumferential direction is formed in the inner wall portion 1120.

Arrangement of the communication hole 1110 on the inner wall 1120 or at the bottom is optional, and in the illustrated embodiment, it may be formed in the mounting groove 1130. It would be preferable that the inner inlet of the mounting groove 1130 directly contacts the absorber 3000.

6 is a perspective view illustrating an embodiment of a coupling relationship between a cover member and an absorber in an end cap of a syringe having a leakage preventing structure of the present invention.

The cover member 2000 has a shape corresponding to the receiving space 1101 formed on the inner side of the protrusion 1100, and can be divided into a flat portion covering the upper portion and a support portion supporting the absorber 3000 on the inner circumferential side. I can. Therefore, it may be formed in a cylindrical shape with an open lower part as a whole, but in some cases, it may be considered that the absorber 3000 is disposed in a form that corresponds to the interior of the receiving space 1101 and the cover member 2000 covers it from the top. There will be.

In the case of the illustrated embodiment, a rib portion 2130 protruding in an outer circumferential direction may be formed on the side wall support portion of the cover member 2000, and the rib portion 2130 is an inner wall portion ( It may correspond to the mounting groove 1130 formed in the 1120. Therefore, it is formed in a vertically long shape to guide the insertion or extraction of the cover member 2000, and has a function of determining the position in the circumferential direction so that the absorption portion of the absorber 3000 and the communication hole 1110 can be accurately positioned with each other. You can do it.

As described above, the absorber 3000 is in contact with a gas and a fluid flowing from the communication hole 1110, passes the gas, and may perform a function of adsorbing the fluid by viscosity. Therefore, materials and shapes having a large number of voids such as sponges may be considered, but are not necessarily limited thereto, and various considerations such as mesh nets, absorbable films, or laminates thereof, and injection products with predetermined distribution channels, etc. It will be possible.

In the illustrated embodiment, in order to increase the contact property of the absorber 3000, an open slit 2110 to which the absorber 3000 is exposed may be formed at the support part of the side of the cover member 2000, and the absorber 3000 is an open slit. It may be molded to fit the shape of (2110) or may be deformed upon insertion. A portion of the absorber 3000 corresponding to the open slit 2110 is defined as a protrusion 3110.

The convex protrusion 3110 guides the coupling of the cover member 2000 and the absorber 3000 to be disposed in an accurate position, and can function to allow the fluid from the communication hole 1110 to flow directly into the absorber 3000. have. Accordingly, the arrangement portion of the communication hole 1110 may correspond to the position of the open slit 2110. According to the above-described embodiments of the present invention, the mounting groove 1130 of the protrusion 1100, the rib part 2130 of the cover member 2000, the open slit 2110 of the cover member 2000, and the absorber The protrusion 3110 of 3000 allows the communication hole 1110 and the absorber 3000 to be accurately positioned in the circumferential direction. In the illustrated example, the communication hole 1110 and the protrusion 3110 of the absorber 3000 are formed in a pair so as to be symmetrical to the central axis of the protrusion 1100, but the number of arrangements is optional, and the case is formed asymmetrically. May also be considered.

7 is a view for explaining the operation of the end cap of the syringe having a leakage preventing structure of the present invention.

It is assumed that the filling material 1002 is accommodated in the syringe 1001, and a centrifugal force is currently provided upward.

On the outer circumferential side of the opening of the syringe 1001, a stepped jaw capable of being hooked on the hook 1011 is provided to indicate a state in which the upper plate 1010 is in close contact with the syringe opening. However, as described above, the insertion part 1200 side may be threaded or pressed into the inlet of the syringe 1001.

In such an arrangement state, the protrusion 1100 is disposed in the inner space of the syringe 1001 and a communication hole 1110 is formed in the sidewall. The sidewalls of the protrusions 1100 are spaced apart from the inner wall of the syringe 1001 and the inner circumference of the insertion unit 1200, and the bubbles t inside the filling material 1002 as a space between them are the first flow (a) as a gas. ) To flow into the communication hole 1110. In this way, the fluid introduced through the communication hole 1110 forms a second flow b that moves to the absorber 3000, and the absorber 3000 stores the liquid filler 1002 remaining in the fluid between the voids. As a state, gas is passed through. In this way, the flow discharged to the atmosphere through the upper hole 2001 of the cover member 2000 through the inside of the absorber 3000 will be described as a third flow (c).

When the degassing and/or kneading process by centrifugation is completed, the end cap can be reused. In this case, the end cap can be reused by absorbing the filling material 1002 and replacing only the contaminated absorber 3000, or removing and washing, and then re-installing it can be used. .

The end cap of the syringe having the leakage preventing structure according to the present invention as described above can ensure the degassing performance by simply applying the end cap of the simple structure, while preventing external contamination and change in capacity due to leakage of liquid fillers, so the accuracy of the degassing process And economics can be improved.

In addition, since only the absorber can be replaced or washed and reused, economical efficiency can be further improved.

In the above, the present invention has been described in detail based on the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments and drawings, and the scope of the present invention will be limited only by the contents described in the claims described later.
