Fig. 6 is the block diagram of measurement section 40 for illustration of liquid transporting apparatus 1 and control device 50.While with reference to Figure 11, be described for measurement section 40 and control device 50.
Measurement section 40 has the cam side measurement section 41 of the angle of swing for measuring cam 11 and the first measurement section 42 and the second measurement section 43 for the first angle of swing of measuring rotor 122 respectively and the second angle of swing.
Cam side measurement section 41 is the rotary encoders having luminescence part 41A and light-receiving part 41B.Cam wheel is formed cam lateral reflection portion 111, and the reflection of cam lateral reflection portion 111 carrys out the light of self-luminescent part 41A, is received by light-receiving part 41B by the light after reflecting.Light-receiving part 41B exports the output signal CAM_Z corresponding to light income to control device 50.

About the action of liquid transporting apparatus
Fig. 9 is the plotted curve representing the rotating amount of cam 11 and the relation of accumulation quantity delivered.This plotted curve is using as reference position that is 0 degree, a certain position of cam 11, determines quantity delivered figure relative to the accumulation of the rotating amount of cam 11 from reference position.
Here, during till cam 11 rotates to 60 degree from 0 degree (hereinafter referred to as " during conveying "), quantity delivered is roughly directly proportional to angle of rotation.During this conveying, carry liquid by making pipe 21 inaccessible successively from the first finger shape plate 22A always.During till cam 11 rotates to 80 degree from 60 degree (hereinafter referred to as " between stationary phase "), accumulation quantity delivered does not change always.Between this stationary phase, the 7th finger shape plate 22G continues to make pipe 21 inaccessible.During till cam 11 rotates to 85 degree from 80 degree (hereinafter referred to as " during adverse current "), accumulation quantity delivered is constantly in minimizing.That is, during adverse current, liquid is in adverse current.
Figure 10 A and Figure 10 B is the explanatory drawing of the adverse current of liquid.Although pipe 21 is configured to circular shape as described above, here for convenience of description for the purpose of, pipe 21 is shown as straight line shape.
From the pressed state making the state of the 7th finger shape plate 22G clogged tube 21 be transferred to by the rotation of cam 11 as shown in Figure 10 A to be produced by the 7th finger shape plate 22G as shown in Figure 10 B by the state decontroled.Now, the difference deducting the capacity after the capacity in the oblique line portion of Figure 10 A from the capacity in the oblique line portion of Figure 10 B has how many, liquid will adverse current how many.
Further, during till cam 11 rotates to 90 degree from 85 degree (hereinafter referred to as " recovery period "), conveying is equivalent to the liquid of the amount of reflux fraction.That is, here, reference position and 0 degree of position as the cam 11 after recovery period.
Just like this, when making cam 11 rotate, during the liquid had corresponding to the amount of rotating amount is transferred, liquid be not transferred during and during liquid countercurrent.As shown in Figure 9, the quantity delivered corresponding to the liquid of the rotating amount of cam 11 will be different with the difference of the angle of swing of cam 11 for this result.When such as make cam 11 rotate 45 degree and carry liquid, make it rotate to the quantity delivered (about 1.2 μ l) when 45 degree from 0 degree and rotate to the quantity delivered (about 0.3 μ l) when 90 degree different from making it from 45 degree.On the other hand, when carrying liquid when making cam 11 90-degree rotation, no matter which position cam 11 is, all can carry the liquid of almost equivalent (about 1.5 μ l).That is, the quantity delivered of liquid is non-linear relative to rotating to be of cam 11, but has the periodicity of 1/4 of cam 11 rotation as one-period.
(setting procedure of signal initial point)
From the viewpoint of the high-precision conveying of liquid, preferably, the accumulation quantity delivered of liquid is straight line shape relative to the time.For this reason, such as during adverse current and recovery period need regulate in the mode rotated quickly than cam between stationary phase 11.For this reason, need to make the angle of swing of the count value of counter 51 and cam 11 corresponding exactly with the quantity delivered of liquid.
Figure 11 is the enlarged view of cam 11 in Fig. 4, rotor 122, transfer wheel 123A, cam side measurement section 41 and the first measurement section 42 and the second measurement section 43.Figure 12 is the explanatory drawing of the relation of display CAM_Z, ROT_Z and ROT_A.Figure 13 is the explanatory drawing of the relation of display CAM_Z and ROT_A.In addition, time shaft amplifies than Figure 12 and shows by signal CAM_Z and ROT_A in Figure 13.
As mentioned above, the first measurement section 42 exports the signal ROT_A of the amount corresponding to the reflected light received by light-receiving part 42B.At this, owing to being circumferentially formed with 12 the first reflective portionss 124 as shown in figure 11 on the rotor 122, thus rotor 122 often rotates a circle, and the first measurement section 42 just exports the signal ROT_A containing 12 pulse type waveforms.
In addition, the second measurement section 43 exports the signal ROT_Z of the amount corresponding to the reflected light received by light-receiving part 43B.At this, owing to being formed with second reflective portions 125 on the rotor 122, thus rotor 122 often rotates a circle, and the second measurement section 43 just exports the signal ROT_Z containing a pulse type waveform.
Cam side measurement section 41 exports the signal CAM_Z of the amount corresponding to the reflected light received by light-receiving part 41B just as described above.Owing to being formed with a cam lateral reflection portion 111 on cam 11, thus cam 11 often rotates a circle, and cam side measurement section 41 just exports the signal CAM_Z containing a pulse type waveform.
Here, because rotor 122 during rotating a circle at cam 11 rotates 40 weeks, thus in the one-period of the output signal CAM_Z of cam side measurement section 41, corresponding to the first measurement section 42 of rotor 122 output signal ROT_A contained by the number of pulse be 40 × 12=480.If using the rising of the pulse in signal ROT_A with decline as 1count, then as shown in figure 12, cam 11 often rotates a circle, and will measure from the 960count till 0 to 959.
, make the cycle of signal ROT_A and signal CAM_Z set up corresponding relation exactly to measure the angle of swing of cam 11 exactly, for this reason, edge picture contained in signal CAM_Z is such as precipitous more satisfactory shown in Figure 12.But, in fact, as shown in figure 13, the edge rust of signal CAM_Z.This is because, the rotation of the speed ratio rotor 112 of cam 11 is slow, thus the change of signal CAM_Z slows down than signal ROT_A.Its result, the detected timing (timing) in the edge contained in signal CAM_Z is as in fig. 14 by shown in solid line and dotted line, and according to the difference in cycle, some departs from.Therefore, when wanting the signal initial point directly being determined signal ROT_A by signal CAM_Z, the reproducibility of the signal initial point of signal ROT_A is low.So, in the present embodiment, determined the signal initial point of signal ROT_A as follows by signal CAM_Z.
Figure 14 is the flow chart that the step of the signal initial point of signal ROT_A is determined in display.Also while with reference to Figure 12, be described the determination of the signal initial point in present embodiment.
First, in step s 11, the rising edge of the pulse type waveform of control device 50 testing signal CAM_Z.Then, in step s 12, as in fig. 12 by from signal CAM_Z towards shown in the arrow of ROT_Z, the edge of the signal ROT_Z occurred after the edge that control device 50 detects immediately signal CAM_Z is detected.As described above, signal ROT_Z is the signal rotated 1 of rotor 122 as the cycle, and the timing (timing) that thus edge of signal CAM_Z is detected is constant relative to signal ROT_Z.Therefore, by above-mentioned process, can the edge of testing signal ROT_Z with good reproducibility.Then, in step s 13, as in fig. 12 by from signal ROT_Z towards shown in the arrow of ROT_A, the edge of the signal ROT_A occurred after the edge that control device 50 detects immediately signal ROT_Z is detected, determines this edge as signal initial point.Just as described above, signal ROT_A and ROT_Z derives from the light quantity of the light in the first reflective portions 124 and the second reflective portions 125 after reflection, first reflective portions 124 and the second reflective portions 125 are all formed on the rotor 122, and signal ROT_A is corresponding exactly with the cycle of signal ROT_Z.Therefore, by above-mentioned process, the signal initial point of signal ROT_A can be determined with good reproducibility.
(pump initial point determines process)
Figure 15 is the schematic diagram determined for illustration of pump initial point.Figure 16 is the flow chart of the treatment step that display pump initial point is determined.Below, also with reference to Fig. 9, while determine that process is described to pump initial point.
After signal initial point is determined, perform the process determining pump initial point.This is because, signal initial point determines from the viewpoint of reproducibility, the pump initial point therefore determined with the viewpoint that should control from quantitative liquor charging is inconsistent.
About pump initial point
Here, the reference position of the cam 11 in the position returned by reflux fraction i.e. Fig. 9 is as pump initial point.This be due to, by so setting pump initial point, during conveying in one-period and tempus intercalare (comprising between stationary phase, during adverse current and between the convalescence) border in the quantity delivered of liquid be one just enough, the variable needed for control therefore such as can be made to tail off and to wait the control of quantitatively carrying to become simple.
Angle of swing corresponding to the cam 11 of pump initial point easily can be obtained by image procossing.Here, for convenience of description, as shown in figure 15, the solid line with arrow that the running shaft from cam 11 radially extends is defined as pump initial point.
Pump initial point determines the step processed
After the angle of swing making cam 11 aligning corresponding with signal initial point, start pump initial point and determine process.
First, in the step s 21, cam 11 rotations are made to be equivalent to the angle of a counting (count) of signal ROT_A.That is, to increase the mode of on signal ROT_A from the value Z of signal initial point counting, by the cam rotary part be such as arranged on production line, cam is rotated.Further, step S21 is often performed, and value Z will increase by one.
Then, in step S22, take the image of cam 11.The shooting of image uses the photographic camera (image pickup part) that is such as arranged on production line and carries out.
Then, in step S23, detect the angle of swing of cam 11 by resolving captured image.Specifically, in the first embodiment, by detecting the edge of the jut 11A of cam 11 from captured image and detecting the position of jut 11A.At this, the edge of jut 11A detecting cam 11 be because, jut 11A is separated from the running shaft of cam 11, therefore be equivalent to signal ROT_A an angle counted rotation compared with, the displacement of the jut 11A of cam 11 is large completely, even the thus minor variations of the angle of swing of cam 11, is also apparent in the change of jut 11A of cam 11.That is, the precision of edge detection can be made to improve.
Thereafter, in step s 24 which, judge whether the angle of swing of cam 11 has arrived pump initial point.When being judged to be that cam 11 has arrived pump initial point, just enter into next step S25; When being judged to be that cam 11 not yet arrives pump initial point, just return to step S21.In step s 25, make count value Z be stored in the memory section 52 of control device 50, and terminate a series of process.
In this way, the edge for being only delayed value Z from signal initial point is just determined corresponding to the position on the signal ROT_A of pump initial point.
After pump initial point determines process, control device 50 performs the conveying of liquid as follows.First, control device 50 drives piezoelectric actuator 121, rotor 122 and cam 11 is rotated, the edge of testing signal CAM_Z.Then, control device 50, according to the edge of the signal ROT_Z detected after immediately have detected the edge of signal CAM_Z, detects the edge (signal initial point) of the signal ROT_A immediately detected thereafter.The edge of control device 50 to the signal ROT_A after the detection from signal initial point counts, and makes rotor 122 and cam 11 rotate, till reaching the number of edges Z stored in memory section 52 again.Then, when the number of edges counted reaches Z, cam 11 just becomes the angle of swing corresponding to pump initial point.So, as shown in Figure 9, control device 50, making cam 11 with the rotation of certain angle of swing during pump initial point (being equivalent to the reference position of 0 degree of Fig. 9) to the conveyings of 60 degree, if reach 60 degree, makes it rotate to 90 degree in the mode skipping the intermittent phase.Thereby, it is possible to make the accumulation quantity delivered of liquid linearly increase relative to the time.That is, the high-precision conveying of liquid can be realized.
As described above, in the first embodiment, according to the edge of the signal ROT_Z detected after the edge that have detected signal CAM_Z at once, the edge of immediately detected thereafter signal ROT_A is defined as the signal initial point (reference point) of signal ROT_A.Then, make cam 11 rotate a counting from the signal initial point of signal ROT_A like that many, stop after rotation and cam 11 is taken pictures.The position of the jut 11A of the cam 11 obtained according to the image by resolving so shooting, judges that cam 11 reaches pump initial point.Thereafter, the count value Z that cam 11 arrives till pump initial point from the signal initial point of signal ROT_A is stored in memory section 52.Therefore, make cam 11 from the signal initial point of signal ROT_A have rotated count value Z large like that after position be confirmed as pump initial point, thus can obtain the relation of signal initial point and pump initial point easily.
Second mode of execution
Figure 17 is the concise and to the point figure of an example of pumping section 5 in display second mode of execution.
In this second embodiment, the detecting method that pump initial point determines the angle of swing of the cam 11 in the step S23 processed is changed.That is, as shown in figure 17, on each jut 11A of cam 11, indicate fine rule and cross such position probing mark M1.Then, by resolving the image of cam 11 captured in step S22 and the position of certification mark M1, the angle of swing of cam is detected according to testing result.At this, the jut 11A of cam 11 marks position probing mark M1 be because, this mark M1 is separated from the running shaft of cam 11, therefore be equivalent to signal ROT_A an angle counted rotation compared with, the displacement of mark M1 is large completely, therefore, it is possible to seek the high precision int of edge detection.
Just as described above, in this second embodiment, being marked with position probing mark M1 at the jut 11A of cam 11, judging that cam 11 reaches pump initial point from the position relationship of the mark M1 obtained by resolving the image after taking pictures to cam.Then, make cam 11 have rotated count value Z position large like that from the signal initial point of signal ROT_A and be confirmed as pump initial point, therefore, it is possible to obtain the relation of signal initial point and pump initial point easily.
3rd mode of execution
Figure 18 is the concise and to the point figure of an example of pumping section 5 in display the 3rd mode of execution.Also while with reference to Fig. 9 and Figure 10, be described the 3rd mode of execution.
In the third embodiment, the detecting method that pump initial point determines the angle of swing of the cam 11 in the step S23 processed also is changed.That is, detected the position of finger shape plate 22 by image analysis, judge the angle of swing of cam 11 according to testing result.As the detecting method of the position of finger shape plate 22, such as, captured image can be used in step S22 and to detect the edge of finger shape plate 22, and then the angle of swing of location determination cam 11 according to the finger shape plate 22 detected.Owing to arrive this mode in reference position in Fig. 9 for cam 11 during position relationship shown in Figure 10 B with such as finger shape plate 22A ~ 22G, the position relationship of finger shape plate 22 is set up corresponding with the angle of swing of cam 11, thus obtained the configuration of regulation by detecting finger shape plate 22, thus the arrival of cam 11 to reference position can have been known.
Or, also can mark position probing mark M2 as shown in figure 18 in advance in finger shape plate 22, judge the angle of swing of cam 11 according to the change of position probing mark M2 in captured image.In addition, in figure 18, although all indicate in all finger shape plate 22 mark M2, as long as the angle of swing of cam 11 can be determined, then also can in a part of finger shape plate 22 annotated mark M2.
Just as described above, in the third embodiment, judge that cam 11 reaches pump initial point according to the position relationship of the finger shape plate 22 obtained by resolving the image after taking pictures to cam 11.Then, make cam 11 have rotated count value Z position large like that from the signal initial point of signal ROT_A and be confirmed as pump initial point, therefore, it is possible to obtain the relation of signal initial point and pump initial point easily.
Other
Above-mentioned mode of execution, exactly for making understanding of the present invention become easy, is not for explaining the present invention with limiting.The present invention, under the prerequisite not departing from its aim, can carry out changing, improveing, and also comprise its equivalent in the present invention, this point is self-evident simultaneously.Such as, also pump initial point can be obtained by use the first mode of execution and the 3rd mode of execution simultaneously.
