Description

Liquid metal microfluid machinery inertial conductive switch
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of little inertial conductive switch, particularly a kind of high precision liquid metal microfluid machinery inertial switch that integrates permanent magnetism micro-machinery switch and liquid metal microfluid switch.
Background technology
Little inertia switch is a kind of special acceleration transducer.It has saved the signal processing time of common accelerometer, directly the break-make of control switch.Its output result does not need analog-to-digital conversion, directly produces digital quantity output, and is integrated with digital circuit easily, constitutes the inertial acceleration threshold measurement unit, can be directly used in acceleration analysis, in industrial and national defence field important use arranged.Inertia-activated has sourceless characteristic, can be used for special occasions.It adopts " spring-mass " structure usually, utilize the equilibrium relation of inertia force and elastic force to determine the threshold acceleration that system can survey, operation principle is when the acceleration greater than certain threshold value acts on the mass, the deformation that inertia force produces elastic construction (being cantilever beam mostly) surpasses the extreme position of absorption (effect of static, electromagnetic force), and switch produces positive feedback effect and rapid closing.The micro-mechanical inertia switch also have advantages such as low-power consumption, low cost, small size, high overload ability, interface circuit be simple, but the major defect of micro-mechanical inertia switch is to electrically contact problem, causes its reliability to reduce except having higher response speed.
Adopt the switch of mobile liquid metal (mercury or gallium indium tin) to compare, can under severe environmental conditions, use, and the required external force of break-make is little with the mechanical switch of " spring-mass " structure.Under macro-scale, its inertia force and surface tension bigger as long as external force is just removable a little, makes switch realize break-make.The good conductivity of liquid metal, the contact resistance between switch electrode is little, allows the electric current that passes through big, can work stably in a long term; And the contact of electrode is liquid contact, does not have any noise.This type of switch has advantages such as volume is little, simple in structure, price is low, hermetically sealed.But shortcoming is: existing micro-machinery switch integrates sensing and activates, when adopting mobile liquid metal as switch contact, microfluid is subjected to the influence of multiple physical field coupled characteristic in the microchannel, its flow behavior under the acceleration effect is relevant with viscous force, inertia force, surface tension etc., simultaneously in manufacture process the size of liquid metal be difficult to accurately control and thermal coefficient of expansion bigger, thereby the switch that causes soaking into hard contact is when inertia-activated, and its threshold value and precision thereof are wayward.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of liquid metal microfluid machinery inertial switch.Sensing and activate is born respectively by permanent magnetism micro-mechanical inertia switch and liquid metal microfluid switch respectively, is easy to liquid metal microfluid machinery inertial switch designs and manufacture method that threshold value and precision thereof are controlled.
The liquid metal microfluid machinery inertial switch is made up of two parts: the little beam machinery inertial of first permanent magnetism switch sections, it two is liquid metal microfluid static switching parts.For the voltage that makes the little beam machinery inertial of permanent magnetism switch closure rear drive liquid metal microfluid static switching obviously increases, connect (much larger than the electric capacity between the former both positive and negative polarity) by big electric capacity between both negative poles.What finally work is the conducting of liquid metal microfluid static switching, and the little beam machinery inertial of permanent magnetism switch is a sensitive acceleration, drives the liquid metal microfluid static switching, plays the effect of accurate control switch threshold value.Its mechanism of action is: when acceleration during greater than threshold value, permanent magnetism micro-mechanical inertia switch closure, the drive controlling electrostatic potential is increased suddenly, and the liquid metal droplet in the microchannel is motion suddenly under the effect of drive controlling electrostatic potential, signal electrostatic potential and inertia force, connects switch.
Technical scheme of the present invention is: the liquid metal microfluid machinery inertial switch adopts micro fabrication to make on silicon chip, it is characterized in that: comprise permanent magnetism little beam machinery inertial switch sections and liquid metal microfluid static switching part.Adopt the little beam machinery inertial of " spring-mass " structure fabrication permanent magnetism switch sections, the liquid metal microfluid static switching adopts three-dimensional Micro Channel Architecture.Drop adopts mercury or gallium indium tin liquid metal.
Characteristics of the present invention are: adopt micromachined technology to obtain the very little liquid metal microfluid machinery inertial switch of volume.The little beam machinery inertial of the permanent magnetism switch of employing " spring-mass " structure is control switch threshold value and precision effectively.Adopt the liquid metal microfluid static switching of three dimension microchannel cavity configurations can effectively reduce contact resistance, strengthen electric current that switch allows to pass through, can work stably in a long term, have simultaneously that volume is little, simple in structure, price is low, hermetic advantage.Can produce in batches, reduce device cost.
