Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of microfluid control, and particularly relates to a microfluid pump.
Background
The micropump is used as a core control element in a microfluidic system, and has wide application prospects in the fields of drug delivery, synthesis, micro-fluid supply, precise control and the like.
At present, most of the domestic and foreign research on micropumps is based on piezoelectric thin film pumps driven by piezoelectric wafers. The piezoelectric film pump mainly comprises a piezoelectric vibrator, a pump valve and a pump body. During work, alternating current is applied to two ends of the piezoelectric vibrator, the piezoelectric vibrator generates radial compression under the action of an electric field, and stress is generated inside the cavity, so that the piezoelectric vibrator is bent and deformed. When the piezoelectric vibrator is bent in the positive direction, the piezoelectric vibrator is stretched, the volume of a pump cavity is increased, the pressure of fluid in the cavity is reduced, a pump valve is opened, and liquid enters the pump cavity; when the piezoelectric vibrator is reversely bent, the piezoelectric vibrator contracts, the volume of a pump cavity is reduced, the pressure of fluid in the cavity is increased, a pump valve is closed, and the fluid in the pump cavity is squeezed and discharged to form smooth continuous directional flow.
The micro valve is an important element for controlling the direction of fluid, can allow liquid or gas to flow in one direction, and has direct influence on the opening and overflowing characteristics of the micro pump, including reverse leakage, opening pressure, response time, manufacturing cost and the like. The micro valves in the micro pump are divided into two categories, namely an active valve and a passive valve, and the passive valve is simple in structure, light in weight, low in manufacturing cost and wide in application. The passive valve is usually made of SU-8, polyimide and the like, but has the problems of poor air tightness, reverse leakage and the like. In order to solve the problem of unidirectional flow of microfluid on the microfluidic chip, Gunn illumination and the like design an SU-8 glue miniature valve plate. The valve plate has the characteristics of low elastic modulus and constant, small opening pressure, easy processing and the like, but still has the problem of reverse leakage.
Generally speaking, the passive micro valve has a simple structure, is widely applied to a micro pump, and has important influence on the characteristics of the micro pump. However, most of the reported micropump valve structures have only one polymer film, so that the airtightness is not good enough, the reverse leakage is large, and the output flow and the output pressure of the pump are influenced.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a piezoelectric micropump, which adopts a multilayer magnetic composite microvalve and aims to improve the air tightness of the micropump, prevent reverse leakage and increase the output pressure of the micropump.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a piezoelectric micropump mainly comprises a piezoelectric vibrator, a magnetic and magnetic composite microvalve and a pump body.
The magnetic composite micro valve comprises a magnetic composite membrane and a supporting structure. The magnetic composite diaphragm is formed by compounding a high polymer material layer on the surface layer, a flexible material layer on the bottom layer and a magnetic material layer in the middle layer, and the magnetic composite micro valve is supported by a supporting structure and is positioned above a pump inlet and a pump outlet of the pump body respectively. The inlet and the outlet of the pump body are provided with magnetic attraction rings, and the combination between the pump body and the micro valve is increased by utilizing the attraction force of the magnetic attraction rings and the magnetic material layer of the magnetic composite micro valve and the deformation of the flexible material layer to seal the inlet and the outlet, so that the air tightness of the micro pump is improved, and the reverse leakage of the internal liquid or gas is prevented. At the same time, the attractive prestress of the magnetic material further increases the output pressure of the pump.
The polymer material layer of top layer can adopt other macromolecular material preparation such as polyimide, has flexibility and high strength, for example adopts polyimide film, SU8 membrane, PET membrane etc..
The middle layer adopts a magnetic film, and magnets attract each other, so that the pump body and the micro valve are combined more tightly, and the air tightness of the piezoelectric pump is improved.
The flexible material layer of bottom can adopt other flexible materials such as silica gel or rubber, and the pump body produces the prestressing force with the magnetic attraction of pump valve, can cause elastic material's deformation.
The piezoelectric micropump provided by the invention depends on the magnetic attraction between the pump body and the microvalve, the flexible layer is deformed through the attraction force between the pump body and the microvalve and is tightly attached to the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet, so that excellent air tightness is obtained, the reverse leakage of liquid is inhibited, and the output capacity of the pump is improved. The presence of the magnetic prestress increases the microvalve opening pressure. When the piezoelectric micropump works, the opening and closing of the microvalve can be adjusted only when the internal and external pressure difference is greater than the opening pressure of the microvalve, so that the output pressure of the piezoelectric micropump is improved. In addition, the micropump has the characteristics of simple structure and easiness in implementation.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, are schematic illustrations of embodiments of the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the piezoelectric micro pump may be divided into an upper layer structure and a lower layer structure. The upper layer structure mainly comprises a piezoelectric vibrator 3 and an elastic diaphragm 4. The lower layer structure comprises a pump body 1, a pump cavity 2, a pump outlet 5, a pump inlet 6 and a magnetic composite micro valve 7. The piezoelectric vibrator 3 and the elastic membrane 4 are directly bonded together, the elastic membrane 4 is bonded with the pump body 1, and the pump cavity 2 is formed due to the fact that the interior of the pump body is sunken. The pump outlet 5 and the pump inlet 6 are respectively provided with a magnetic composite micro valve 7 which is a passive opening valve.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the magnetic composite microvalve 7 includes a magnetic composite membrane 9 and four support beams 10 around the magnetic composite membrane 9, and the magnetic composite membrane 9 is composed of a top polymer material layer 9c, a middle magnetic material layer 9b and a bottom flexible material layer 9 a. In this embodiment, the polymer material layer 9c is made of polyimide, the middle magnetic material layer 9b is made of a magnetic film, and the flexible material layer 9a is made of silica gel.
The supporting beam 10 and the high polymer material layer 9c are made of the same layer of material, four supporting beams and a valve frame are formed by etching the material layer, one end of each supporting beam is integrally connected with the edge of the molecular material layer, and the other end of each supporting beam is integrally connected with the valve frame. The valve frame is bonded to the pump outlet 5 and the pump inlet 6 such that the support beam 10 supports the magnetic composite diaphragm 9 above the pump outlet 5 and the pump inlet 6 in an open-closed relationship therewith.
Referring to fig. 3, the magnetic attraction ring 8 is arranged at the pump outlet 5 and the pump inlet 6, and the pump outlet 5 and the pump inlet 6 are closed by utilizing the attraction force between the magnetic attraction ring 8 and the magnetic material layer 9b, so that the air tightness of the micropump is improved, and the reverse leakage of the internal liquid or gas is prevented.
When the piezoelectric micropump works, the microvalve still maintains the original state when the internal and external pressure difference is less than the opening pressure of the microvalve; when the internal and external pressure difference is greater than the opening pressure of the micro valve, the micro valve can be adjusted to be opened and closed, and the existence of magnetic prestress increases the opening pressure of the micro valve, so that the output pressure of the micro pump is improved. Meanwhile, due to the magnetic attraction between the pump body and the micro valve, the micro valve and the pump body are combined more tightly, the air tightness of the micro pump is improved, and the reverse leakage of fluid is effectively prevented.
