Description

Utilize the method for driving microchannel fluid of magnetic droplet
Technical field
The invention belongs to magnetic fluid, microelectromechanical systems and biochip technology field.Be particularly related to the magnetism characteristic that is had based on magnetic fluid, driving other immiscible fluid with the drop of magnetic fluid flows, this method utilizes the electromagnetic force principle to drive, there is not mechanical moving component, being easy to adopt micro fabrication to realize, is the method for driving microchannel fluid that utilizes magnetic droplet.
Background technology
Microelectromechanical systems and biochip are the hot issues of current research, wherein play an important role in the implementation procedure that is flowing in some systemic-function of fluid in microelectromechanical systems, but still lack at present can be easy the fluid driving method in the MEMS of being integrated into.Integrated driving device commonly used at present needs moving component, processing and integrating process complexity, and difficulty of processing is big and cost is high.
Magnetic fluid is a kind of comparatively new-type functional material, and it forms the stable colloid system by nano level ferromagnetism particulate highly dispersed among liquid, have magnetic and flowability simultaneously, is subjected to the attraction in magnetic field as ferromagnetic material.Magnetic fluid is widely used in fields such as dynamic seal (packing) and sensors.The present invention has utilized the magnetic and the flowability of magnetic fluid simultaneously, uses the conduct in the microchannel of magnetic fluid drop to drive.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is based on the magnetic and the flowability of magnetic fluid, a kind of method of utilizing magnetic droplet to drive the microchannel fluid is proposed, it is characterized in that, in microchannel 1, place magnetic fluid drop 4 and be driven fluid fluid column 5, in channel bottom or the little current elements of side arrangement series, 2 and 3 is two little current elements wherein along channel direction; Little current elements is connected to external power source and is controlled by logic circuit.
Above-mentioned magnetic fluid drop is an operation material.Base fluid wherein can adopt dissimilar liquid, can drive flowing of the dissimilar fluid fluid columns immiscible with it respectively.The magnetic fluid drop is an end at the two ends that are driven the fluid fluid column or wherein, drives by the motion of magnetic fluid drop under the effect of magnetic field and is driven flowing of fluid fluid column.
Driving force of the present invention comes from magnetic field.Magnetization takes place and is attracted in magnetic fluid in magnetic field, the direction that the sensing magnetic field of gravitation increases.By the attraction that the magnetic fluid drop is subjected in magnetic field, can drive it and in the microchannel, move, and then drive by what it sealed and be driven flowing of fluid.
Magnetic field of the present invention is near little current elements of processing along channel direction channel wall or the wall.This will generate magnetic field after current elements energising slightly, and according to the position of magnetic fluid drop, current elements is according to the energising of certain orientation order slightly to this, and the magnetic field that it produced will drag the magnetic fluid liquid drop movement by corresponding direction.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows that key of the present invention is the numerous little current elements along channel direction, they and magnetic fluid droplet interaction produce the power that drive fluid flows.Relative mechanical driving structure, the conductive structure of little current elements is easy in microelectromechanical systems integrated, can effectively reduce cost, and control logic is simple simultaneously; Driving method movement-less part of the present invention has high reliability.Though the magnetic fluid of a certain base fluid can only drive and its immiscible fluid that is driven, the base fluid of magnetic fluid has to be selected and with low cost more widely; Select suitable magnetic fluid, can drive various fluids.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of magnetic droplet method of driving microchannel fluid.
The specific embodiment
The present invention proposes a kind of magnetic droplet method of driving microchannel fluid.Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing specific implementation process of the present invention is further described.
The present invention is based on magnetic fluid and be subjected to the principle of magnetic field suction.Be the schematic diagram of magnetic droplet method of driving microchannel fluid as shown in Figure 1.Place magnetic fluid drop 4 in the microchannel 1 on matrix and be driven fluid fluid column 5, in channel bottom or the little current elements of side arrangement series, 2 and 3 is any two the little current elements in many little current elements along channel direction.If wish that being driven fluid moves from left to right, and the magnetic fluid drop is just above little current elements 2, at this moment little current elements 3 on little current elements 2 right sides is switched on, to produce a magnetic field traction magnetic fluid drop 4 towards its motion by the little current elements 3 of electromagnetic induction, the magnetic fluid drop will promote to be driven the fluid fluid column simultaneously and move right, and when treating the magnetic fluid liquid drop movement to little current elements 3 tops, disconnect the electric current of little current elements 3, simultaneously to its right side current elements energising, so circulation.If be driven the fluid fluid column two ends fluid drop that all is magnetic, then can produce two kinds of effects of push-and-pull respectively at two ends by the method for said sequence energising.If wish that being driven fluid moves from right to left, only needs by opposite switching in proper order.Above-mentioned magnetic fluid is commercially available prod (W of Anhui Jinke Magnetic Liquids Co., Ltd. series water-based magnetic fluid and the high heat conduction magnetic fluid of C series, network address http://www.jk-nano.com) this magnetic fluid is made up of ferromagnetism particulate, base fluid and surfactant etc.
