Description

Flow control mechanism and system comprising same
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of fluidic devices. In particular to a flow control mechanism and a system containing the same, in particular to a micro-fluidic mechanism and a system.
Background
In the field of biological testing techniques, relatively accurate quantitation is required due to the small volumes of the substances being tested, typically on the microliter scale. For example, in the field of molecular biological diagnostics, in order to perform multi-target DNA detection simultaneously, DNA samples are diluted and distributed into multiple PCR reaction tubes, and subjected to PCR cycling and fluorescence detection. The sample processing procedure in such a test process is tedious, time consuming and prone to error. With the development of microfluidic technology and other related technologies, the DNA detection step described above, including all sample processing procedures, can be integrated into a small plastic cartridge and fully automated. In the above sample processing procedure, the most critical difficulty is how to accurately distribute a minute amount of DNA sample into a plurality of reaction chambers.
In recent years, researchers have made much research on how microfluidic system devices control and reduce the volume of an analysis sample of a fluid.
CN101563562a discloses a microfluidic device, which realizes precise microfluidic by designing a structural unit for optimizing dead volume in order to obtain accurate small-volume fluid samples. The device comprises a substrate provided with microchannels, a flexible membrane and a stopper, by means of which temporary channels can be formed by the flexible membrane covering the valve area, fluid is guided between the area of the lower surface of the substrate and the upper surface of the flexible membrane, whereby movement of the stopper towards the lower surface of the substrate causes the valve to act and the opposite movement of the lower surface of the substrate frees a space within the chamber into which the flexible membrane can engage to form the temporary channels. However, the structure of the device is still not simplified enough, and the interference of bubbles cannot be eliminated in the flow control process of the liquid fluid sample.

The above-mentioned fluidics relate in particular to microfluidic mechanisms.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme.
A fluidic mechanism, in particular a microfluidic mechanism, comprising a base and a dosing mechanism movably connected to form two or more relatively movable states comprising a first relative state and a second relative state; the base is provided with a fluid input end and a fluid receiving end, and the quantifying mechanism is provided with a quantifying pipeline; when in a first relative state, the fluid input end is communicated with the quantitative pipeline; when the quantitative pipeline is in a second relative state, the quantitative pipeline is communicated with the fluid receiving end; during the switching from the first relative state to the second relative state, the two ends of the quantitative pipeline are kept sealed.
The quantitative mechanism is provided with at least one surface attached to the base; the fluid input end and the fluid receiving end are arranged on the surface of the base, which is attached to the quantitative mechanism; preferably, the abutting faces are smooth.
More preferably, the base is in two parts and the dosing mechanism has two faces which engage the base. During the switching from the first relative state to the second relative state, the two ends of the dosing tube are kept sealed by the face of the base being in covering abutment.
Further, when in the first relative state, the fluid input end and the quantitative pipeline realize seamless connection; when in the second relative state, the quantitative pipe and the fluid receiving end realize seamless connection.
The fluid input end refers to a fluid input port or a port with an extension pipe, and when the fluid input port is in a first relative state, fluid flows into the metering pipe from the end.
Similarly, the fluid receiving end described above refers to a fluid receiving port, or a port with an extension conduit, in a second relative state, fluid in the dosing conduit exits via the port.
When the quantitative pipeline is in the first relative state, the quantitative pipeline is not communicated with the fluid receiving end; when in the second relative state, the dosing channel is not in communication with the fluid input.
The disconnection may be achieved by a staggered arrangement between the fluid input and the fluid receiving end. The dislocation setting means that: in any relative displacement state, the connecting line between the fluid input end and the fluid receiving end does not overlap with the quantitative pipe.
As a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention:
the base is provided with two or more fluid input ends, and the quantitative mechanism is provided with two or more quantitative pipelines; when in the first relative state, the two or more fluid inputs form a serial channel mediated by the dosing channel. Preferably, the fluid input end and the dosing channel are seamlessly connected in a staggered arrangement when forming the series channel. This may be achieved by e.g. equal distance arrangements between the same kind of pipes or ports.
In order to achieve that the ends of the dosing channel remain sealed during the switching from the first relative position to the second relative position, it is preferred that the ends of the dosing channel remain sealed by being coveringly engaged by the surface of the base, the relative displacement trajectory generated by the abutting surfaces of the quantitative tube and the base does not pass through any gap or clearance or hollow, that is, the trajectory does not pass through any other fluid input end, and reaches the first gap or clearance or hollow, that is, the fluid receiving end, which is in the second relative state. This can be achieved by alternating the fluid input ends and the fluid receiving ends, specifically, the fluid input ends and the fluid receiving ends are alternately arranged one by one in the direction of the relative movement locus.
Of course, as a non-preferred but alternative solution, if the trajectory passes through a void, for example a fluid input, during the switching from the first relative state to the second relative state, it is necessary to temporarily close the port first, in order to prevent the fluid in the pipe from leaking out of other gaps or voids when it reaches the corresponding fluid receiving end.
In this case, the fluid input (preferably with extension tube) and the metering tube are spaced apart from each other and connected in series to form a series passage, and the flow control mechanism is in the fluid filling state (fluid filling state), and the fluid to be metered passes through the plurality of spaced apart fluid inputs (extension tubes) and metering tubes in series in the same single passage.
After completion of the fluid filling process (preferably filling the entire series passage and a portion of the fluid spills over from the extreme end of the series passage (the extreme end being directly or indirectly the same as the ambient) to the waste receptacle), the fluidic mechanism switches to the second relative state.
In a second relative state, the dosing channel is seamlessly connected to the corresponding fluid receiving end, preferably with an extension channel, forming a dosing channel + fluid receiving end combination, and two or more quantitative pipeline + fluid receiving end combinations are arranged in parallel, and all combinations are not connected.
Such a structure is very advantageous for achieving accurate microfluidics. This is because microfluidic mechanisms are typically configured for small volume applications, such as microfluidic chips, and the volume accommodated is limited.
In the application of liquid flow control technology, during the liquid filling (whether liquid pushing or liquid sucking), a part of liquid output earlier easily contains bubbles, and because the volume of the liquid sampled by micro-fluidic is very small, the existence of the bubbles can cause great influence on the accuracy of the sampling quantity. To reduce this effect, it is preferable to discard a portion of the liquid from the front end of each tube, which requires more liquid supply and a larger waste storage space. However, microfluidic mechanisms are often configured for small volume applications, such as microfluidic chips, and thus the volume accommodated is limited.
The serial connection channel of the invention can continuously realize the filling of a plurality of sections of quantitative pipelines in the process of one-time liquid pushing or liquid suction, thus, when a plurality of pipes take liquid, only one section of front-end liquid needs to be abandoned, the liquid supply requirements are greatly saved, as well as the waste liquid storage space (since only one waste liquid cylinder is needed to receive one section of front end liquid at this time, and multiple waste liquid cylinders are not needed to receive multiple sections of front end liquid).
Theoretically, the more metering lines connected in series, the more advantageous it is to eliminate the effects of bubbles and to save volume.
As an illustrative example, the dosing channels provided by the present invention or their corresponding fluid inputs may be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more.

Further, the fluid input end is connected with a fluid storage device; the fluid storage device is used for storing the fluid to be quantitatively divided/quantitatively sampled.
Further, the fluid receiving end is connected with a fluid receiving device. When switched to the second relative state, the dosing conduit is no longer in communication with the fluid input, but is instead relatively displaced into communication with the fluid receiving means, at which point fluid flows from the dosing conduit to the fluid receiving means via the fluid receiving end, either by gravity, or by an applied external force (such as a pushing or suction force). In general, the fluid receiving device is a place where reaction/detection is performed after quantitative sample application, or a place where mixing with other samples is performed.
Further, the flow control mechanism is also provided with one or more first pressure difference mechanisms; when the flow control mechanism is in a first relative state, the first pressure difference mechanism enables the pressure at one end of the quantitative pipeline, which is connected with the fluid input end, to be greater than the pressure at one end of the quantitative pipeline, which is far away from the fluid input end, so that a pressure difference is formed;

The upper surface of the quantitative mechanism 2 is attached to the lower surface of the upper base, and the lower surface of the quantitative mechanism 2 is attached to the upper surface of the lower base. The surfaces to be joined are smooth. The quantitative mechanism 2 is vertically provided with a quantitative pipe 21 penetrating its upper and lower surfaces. The dosing pipe 21 is a straight pipe.

Taking the first set of quantitative conduits 21 (a) and the corresponding mechanisms as examples, when the mechanism in the connection mode in the first relative state is filled with liquid, the turntable is rotated 90 degrees clockwise to the second relative state. The liquid flows into the reaction chamber through the liquid receiving end 13 (a) under the pressure applied by the second pressure difference mechanism 16 (a) to carry out the next reaction.
