A dosing pump for conveying a fluid, having a displacement element and a dosing chamber, the displacement element delimiting the dosing chamber and being movable back and forth on a movement axis between a pressure position and a suction position, a drive being able to apply a driving force to the displacement element in the direction of the pressure position. A restoring force is exerted on the displacement element in the direction of the suction position by a biasing element. A stop element is provided which limits the movement of the displacement element in the direction of the suction position, and the stop element can be adjusted along the axis of movement via a control element which can be moved along a control axis in order to set a dosing volume of the dosing pump.
A dosing pump for delivering a dosing volume of a fluid having a displacement element and a dosing chamber, wherein the displacement element delimits the dosing chamber and can be moved back and forth between a pressure position and a suction position on an axis of movement, wherein a volume of the dosing chamber in the pressure position of the displacement element is smaller than a volume of the dosing chamber in the suction position of the displacement element, wherein a drive is provided with which a driving force can be applied to the displacement element in the direction of the pressure position, wherein a biasing element is provided which exerts a restoring force on the displacement element in the direction of the suction position, wherein a stop element is provided which limits the movement of the displacement element in the direction of the suction position, wherein the stop element can be adjusted along the axis of movement in order to adjust the suction position of the displacement element, wherein a control element is provided, wherein the control element is arranged in such a way that the control element can be moved along a control axis which forms an angle α>0° with the axis of movement, the control element being arranged on the stop element in such a way that a movement of the stop element is coupled to a movement of the control element, so that the stop element can be adjusted along the axis of movement by the movement of the control element along the control axis, wherein the stop element is arranged in the dosing pump in such a way that the driving force does not act on the stop element, and wherein the control element and the stop element have two mutually corresponding surfaces, wherein the two mutually corresponding surfaces form an angle of between 0° and 90° both with the axis of movement and with the control axis, wherein the two mutually corresponding surfaces are configured and aligned in such a way that the corresponding surfaces are in contact with one another and slide along one another in a direction of movement when the stop element is displaced along the axis of movement due to the movement of the control element along the control axis, wherein the direction of movement lies in a plane spanned by the control axis and the axis of movement.
