To maintain the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, a detailed description of known functions and known components have been omitted from the present disclosure.
A first embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a ball valve switch for a microfluidic chip, which may be installed in an active control type microfluidic chip for in vitro diagnosis, and is configured to control a micro channel disposed inside the microfluidic chip, and specifically, to control on/off of the micro channel designated in the microfluidic chip, thereby implementing an overall function of the microfluidic chip.
Specifically, the structure of the ball valve switch 100 in one embodiment of the disclosed embodiment is shown in fig. 1, the ball valve switch 100 is disposed in a microfluidic chip 200 and is disposed adjacent to a microchannel 300 in the microfluidic chip 200, and the microchannel 300 is sealed by a flow channel membrane 4, so that the ball valve switch 100 controls the on/off of the microchannel 300 in the microfluidic chip 200. Fig. 1 shows a first state and a second state of the ball valve switch 100, in which the ball valve switch 100 does not block and control the micro-channel 300 in the microfluidic chip 200, that is, the micro-channel 300 is in an open state, and in which the ball valve switch 100 blocks and controls the micro-channel 300 in the microfluidic chip 200, that is, the micro-channel 300 is in a closed state.
Specifically, the ball valve switch 100 includes a first plate 1 and a blocking portion 2, the blocking portion 2 is used in cooperation with the first plate 1, the first plate body 1 has at least one hollow portion 3, the hollow portion 3 being capable of penetrating the first plate body 1 and having two open ends, a first open end and a second open end, the hollow part 3 corresponds to a control point of a predetermined position in the microchannel 300 where on-off control is required, the micro-channel 300 is sealed by the runner film 4 at the predetermined position where on-off control is required, of course, a plurality of hollow portions 3 may be disposed in the first plate 1, and the plurality of hollow portions 3 may correspond to a plurality of control sites at predetermined positions where on-off control is required. It should be noted that the predetermined position may be a corner of the inlet or the outlet of the microchannel 300.
Further, as shown in fig. 1, in consideration that the microchannel 300 is sealed by the flow channel film 4, the hollow portion 3 of the ball valve switch 100 is disposed opposite to the flow channel film 4, and the blocking portion 2 is configured to apply pressure to the flow channel film 4 through the hollow portion 3 to drive the flow channel film 4 to block the microchannel 300. Specifically, for example, the plugging portion 2 can enter from the second opening end of the hollow portion 3 and move in the first direction inside the hollow portion 3, and finally protrude from the first opening end to block the predetermined position of the microchannel 300 in the microfluidic chip 200, and since the plugging portion 2 will bring the flow channel film 4 to deform during the movement of the plugging portion 2 in the first direction, the flow channel film 4 can also prevent the liquid in the microchannel 300 in the microfluidic chip 200 from seeping out.
When the ball valve switch 100 is in the first state, the blocking portion 2 does not press the flow channel membrane 4, the flow channel membrane 4 does not deform, and the micro channel 300 in the microfluidic chip 200 is not blocked; when the blocking part 2 applies pressure to the flow channel membrane 4, the blocking part 2 presses and drives the flow channel membrane 4 to deform so as to block the micro-channel 300 in the microfluidic chip 200 together, and at this time, the ball valve switch 100 is in the second state, namely, the blocking control of the micro-channel 300 is realized, and for this reason, the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the blocking part 2 should be larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the predetermined position of the micro-channel 300. In this way, when the ball valve switch 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is installed at a predetermined position of the micro channel 300 of the microfluidic chip 200, the blocking portion 2 may block the flow of fluid in the micro channel 300, thereby implementing a control valve function.
Considering that the flow passage membrane 4 needs to be deformed when the ball valve switch 100 is in the second state, i.e., when being pressed, the flow passage membrane 4 needs to be made of a polymer material to have a strong deformability, and may be made of at least one of the following materials: polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene.
Further, in order to ensure that the plugging portions 2 can pass through the hollow portions 3 and apply pressure to the flow channel membranes 4, the direction in which the plugging portions 2 apply pressure and the flow channel membranes 4 should be perpendicular to each other. Furthermore, considering that the main part of the closing off part 2 may penetrate into the hollow part 3, it is necessary that the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the closing off part 2 and the cross-sectional dimension of the hollow part 3 match each other, for example the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the closing off part 2 should be smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the hollow part 3 in order to facilitate the movement of the closing off part 2 within the hollow part 3.
Specifically, in one embodiment, the plugging portion 2 includes a plugging portion 21 and a mandrel portion 22, a first end of the plugging portion 21 is used for plugging the predetermined position of the microchannel 300, a maximum cross-sectional dimension of the plugging portion is larger than a cross-sectional dimension of the predetermined position of the microchannel 300, and the mandrel portion 22 applies pressure to a second end of the plugging portion 21 to drive the plugging portion 21 to move. The plug part 21 can be made of metal, plastic and other materials, and the plug part 21 made of the materials has rigidity and cannot deform under the action of external force.
In another embodiment, the plugging portion 21 may be spherical, and considering that the cross-sectional dimension of the ejector rod 22 is relatively small in the case of using a screw, for example, the plugging portion 21 using a spherical shape can be connected to the ejector rod 22 in a point manner, resulting in a small friction force between the plugging portion 21 and the ejector rod 22, so that the plugging portion 21 is not moved by, for example, a rotational movement of the ejector rod 22 to damage the flow channel membrane 4 during the process of pressing the flow channel membrane 4, and the plugging portion 21 can be in arc contact with the flow channel membrane 4 to accurately transmit pressure. Of course, as shown in fig. 2, in another embodiment, the plugging portion 21 may also be a hemisphere shape, and besides the point connection is realized between the circular arc surface of the plugging portion and the ejector portion 22, for example, a rotation movement of the ejector portion 22 does not cause a movement of the plugging portion 21 to damage the flow channel film 4, and the flat surface portion of the plugging portion 21 having the hemisphere shape presses the flow channel film 4, so as to prevent the pressure from being too concentrated at the top end of the plugging portion 21 during the pressing process to cause the breakage of the flow channel film 4.
In order to be able to control the movement of the plugging portion 2 in the hollow portion 3, to adjust the position of the plugging portion 21 and to adjust the degree to which the plugging portion 21 blocks the microchannel 300, the outer surface of the stem portion 22 is screwed to the inner wall of the hollow portion 3, for example, the stem portion 22 may be provided with a device having an external thread such as a screw, and an internal thread matching the screw is provided on the inner wall of the hollow portion 3, for example, a threaded hole, and by screwing the stem portion 22 to the inner wall of the hollow portion 3 by rotation, the position of the plugging portion 21 in the hollow portion 3, for example, the plugging portion 21 is located at a position blocking the predetermined position or a position not blocking the predetermined position, and the positioning and locking of the plugging portion 21 may also be achieved, for example, such that the plugging portion 21 blocks the predetermined position of the microchannel for a long time, thus, the micro-channel is opened or disconnected for a long time without long-time support of the plugging part 21 by external mechanical parts.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, in order to facilitate the accommodation of the blocking portion 2, especially the blocking portion 21, in the hollow portion 3 when the ball valve switch 100 is in the first state, and to achieve the blocking of the micro channel 300 in the second state, the cross-sectional dimension of the second opening end of the hollow portion 3 is smaller than the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the blocking portion 21, but larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the stem portion 21, such that the blocking portion 21 of the blocking portion 2 is located inside the hollow portion 3 without falling out and partially protrudes out of the second opening end when the micro channel 300 is not to be blocked, and the stem portion 22 can pass through the second opening end to push the blocking portion 21 when the micro channel 300 is to be blocked, thereby achieving the blocking control of the micro channel 300, and further simplifying the structure of the ball valve switch 100, the use is more convenient.
As described above, since the stem portion 22 is required to be configured to be used in cooperation with the plugging portion 21 in the ball valve switch 100, the stem portion 22 may be excessively increased when a plurality of control points requiring on-off control are present in the microchannel 300, and in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, a problem such as the need for the stem portion 22 may be solved by providing a second plate body, in which the cross-sectional dimension of the second open end of the hollow portion 3 is smaller than the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the plugging portion 2, so that the plugging portion 2 is partially located inside the hollow portion 3 and partially protrudes out of the second open end, so as to realize a switching system for the microchannel 300, and the second plate body 5 is further included, and the second plate body 5 moves in a second direction relative to the first plate body 1 to push the plugging portion 2 to plug the predetermined position, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, wherein, for example, in the case of a spherical body being used as the blocking portion 2, the friction with the second plate body 5 is small.
In order to enable the second body 5 not to push the blocking portion 2 when the ball valve switch 100 is in the first state, the plugging portions 2 can be pushed to block the micro-channels 300 when in the second state, at least one groove portion 6 matching the shape of the plugging portion 2 is provided on the surface of the second plate body 5 opposite to the first plate body 1, each groove portion 6 corresponds to each plugging portion 2, and thus, when the second plate body 5 is moved so that the portion of the blocking portion 2 protruding out of the second open end falls into the groove portion 6, the blocking part 2 does not press the flow channel film 4 to block the microchannel 300, when the second plate body 5 is moved so that the portion of the blocking portion 2 protruding out of the second open end does not fall into the groove portion 6, the plane part of the second plate body 5 pushes the blocking part 2 to press the flow channel film 4 to block the micro-channel 300.
As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 shows the structure of the second plate 5, preferably, when the number of the hollow portions 3 is plural, the plurality of groove portions 6 are arranged on the surface of the second plate 5 at a certain distance, and by setting the relative position relationship between the groove portions 6 and the hollow portions 3 or the blocking portions 2, the on-off time sequence control of a plurality of on-off control sites in the microchannel 300 can be realized through the movement of the second plate 5, which greatly improves the efficiency of realizing the control of the plurality of on-off control sites.
According to the ball valve switch, the combination of the plate body and the blocking portion is used as the ball valve switch for connecting the micro-channel and the external control structure, the on-off of the micro-channel can be controlled, and the contact friction force between the micro-channel and the external control structure is reduced by utilizing the characteristic that the spherical blocking portion and the flow channel film with the same plane diameter have small contact area.
A second embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a microfluidic chip, where the microfluidic chip may be, for example, an active control type microfluidic chip for in vitro diagnosis, and as shown in fig. 1 to 4, the microfluidic chip 200 includes at least one microchannel 300, a fluid flows in the microchannel 300 to implement a corresponding control function, the ball valve switch 100 in the above embodiment is disposed at a predetermined position of the microchannel 300, the ball valve switch 100 may be disposed at a control position of a predetermined position of the microchannel 300 that needs to be on-off controlled, and the ball valve switch 100 is disposed proximate to the flow channel membrane 4 in the microchannel 300, so that the deformation of the flow channel membrane 4 pushed by the blocking portion 2 can block the microchannel 300 at the predetermined position. The predetermined position is a control point for any of the microchannels 300 that needs to be controlled.
Of course, the number of the micro channels 300 in the micro fluidic chip 200 may be multiple, and the number, structure and arrangement of the micro channels 300 in the micro fluidic chip 200 need to be set according to actual requirements, and further, when the number of the micro channels 300 is multiple, the multiple micro channels 300 are mutually communicated. For example, in the example of fig. 1, the microfluidic chip 200 includes a first microchannel 301, a second microchannel 302, and a third microchannel 303, and the first microchannel 301, the second microchannel 302, and the third microchannel 303 form a U-shaped structure, where the predetermined position may be an outlet position of the first microchannel 301.
According to the ball valve switch, the combination of the plate body and the blocking portion is used as the ball valve switch for connecting the micro-channel and the external control structure, the on-off of the micro-channel can be controlled, and the contact friction force between the micro-channel and the external control structure is reduced by utilizing the characteristic that the spherical blocking portion and the flow channel film with the same plane diameter have small contact area. In addition, a simple switch control system can be formed to realize on-off control of different micro-channels in the micro-fluidic chip.
