Abstract
Description
Die Neuerung betrifft eine Baueinheit für die Mikrotechnik gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Schutzanspruchs 1.The Innovation relates to a structural unit for microtechnology according to the preamble of the protection claim 1.
Solche Baueinheiten kommen bei der Herstellung von sehr kleinen Vorrichtungen zur Anwendung, die beispielsweise für Analyseeinrichtungen im Bereich der Mikrotechnik bestimmt sind. Für die Fertigung solcher Vorrichtungen werden unter anderem Bauelement in Form von Röhrchen benötigt, die innen hohl sind, einen Durchmesser kleiner 200μm aufweisen, und sich für den Transport von strömenden Medien eignen. Solche Röhrchen werden oft in großer Zahl zusammengefasst und verlegt. Die Enden dieser Röhrchen werden beispielsweise in die Mündungen von Kanälen gesteckt, die zu Messzellen führen, welche ebenso wie die Kanäle innerhalb von Trägerelementen ausgebildet sind. Bei der Montage der Röhrchen ist es wünschenswert, wenn diese so verlegt werden können, dass alle ihre Längsachsen parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Hierdurch wird das Verbinden dieser Bauelemente mit den Kanälen von Trägerelementen vereinfacht, da die Kanäle auch sehr oft parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Wegen der geringen Durchmesser der Röhrchen das parallel Ausrichten sowie das Verbinden derselben mit solchen Kanälen sehr aufwendig. Aufgrund der geringen Abmessungen und der Zerbrechlichkeit der Röhrchen erfordert deren Handhabung den Einsatz spezieller Greifer, mit denen jedes der Bauelemente einzeln positioniert werden muss.Such Building units come in the production of very small devices for application, for example, for analysis facilities in the field are determined by microtechnology. For the production of such devices components are needed in the form of tubes that are hollow inside, a diameter smaller than 200μm show, and look for the transport of flowing media suitable. Such tubes are often in great Number summarized and published. The ends of these tubes become for example, in the mouths of channels plugged that lead to measuring cells, which as well as the channels within carrier elements are formed. When mounting the tubes, it is desirable if they can be misplaced so that all their longitudinal axes are aligned parallel to each other. This will make the connection of these components with the channels of support elements Simplified, as the channels too very often aligned parallel to each other. Because of the low Diameter of the tubes the parallel alignment as well as the connection of the same with such channels very expensive. Due to the small dimensions and the fragility the tube their handling requires the use of special grippers with which each of the components must be positioned individually.
Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Baueinheit aufzuzeigen, durch die das parallele Ausrichten sowie das Verbinden von Bauelementen mit linearer Ausdehnung und sehr geringen Durchmessern vereinfacht wird.Of the Innovation is based on the object to show a unit, by the parallel alignment and joining of components with linear expansion and very small diameters is simplified.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Schutzanspruchs 1 gelöst.These The object is solved by the features of the protection claim 1.
Mit jeder neuerungsgemäßen Baueinheit können Bauelemente in Form von innen hohlen Röhrchen, elektrischen Leitern oder optischen Leitern, die einen Durchmesser kleiner 200μm aufweisen, mit Hilfe von Verbindungselementen parallel ausgerichtet und auf einfache Weise zu einem Strang zusammengefasst werden. Ein solcher Strang kann über eine einfache Steckverbindung mit einer Einrichtung der Mikrotechnik verbunden werden, innerhalb derer eine eben solche Anzahl von Kanälen, elektrischen und/oder optischen Leitern ausgebildet ist, die über nach außen gerichtete Anschlüsse verfügen. Für die Ausbildung eines solchen Strangs werden die Bauelemente im Bereich ihrer beiden Enden mit jeweils einem Verbindungselement zusammengefasst. Jedes Verbindungselement wird durch vorzugsweise zwei Bauteile gebildet. In jeweils einer Oberfläche eines jeden Bauteils sind parallel zueinander ausgerichtete Nuten ausgebildet. Die beiden Bauteile werden so aufeinander gelegt und miteinander verbunden, dass ihre Nuten einander gegenüber liegen. Die Röhrchen und Leiter sind so in den Verbindungselementen gehaltert, dass ihre Enden bündig mit der Stirnfläche des jeweiligen Verbindungselementes abschließen, oder alle Enden mit der gleichen Länge über die Stirnfläche eines jeden Verbindungselementes nach außen überstehen. Ein so ausgebildeter Strang kann nicht nur mit einem Bauteil der Mikrotechnik, sondern auch mit einem weiter, ebenso ausgebildeten Strang verbunden werden. Hier wird beispielsweise ein Verbindungselement eines ersten Strangs gegen die Stirnfläche eines zweiten Verbindungselements gesetzt. Beide Verbindungselemente werden dann in einer Klemmvorrichtung angeordnet und in dieser Position darin gehalten. Die Verbindung von zwei oder mehreren Strängen über Brückenelemente ist ebenfalls möglich.With Each unit according to the invention can be components in the form of hollow tubes inside, electrical conductors or optical conductors that have a diameter less than 200μm have aligned in parallel by means of connecting elements and be easily grouped together. One such strand can over a simple plug-in connection with a device of microtechnology within which there are just such a number of channels, electrical and / or optical conductors are formed, which have outwardly directed connections. For training of such a strand, the components in the area of their two Ends combined with one connecting element each. each Connecting element is formed by preferably two components. In each case a surface of each component are parallel aligned grooves educated. The two components are placed one on top of the other and interconnected with their grooves facing each other. The tubes and conductors are held in the fasteners so that their Ends flush with the face complete the respective connecting element, or all the ends with the same length over the face of each connecting element to the outside. Such a trained Strand can not only use a component of microtechnology, but be connected to a further, equally trained strand. Here becomes, for example, a connecting element of a first strand against the face a second connecting element set. Both fasteners are then placed in a clamping device and in this position held in it. The connection of two or more strands via bridge elements is also possible.
Weitere erfinderische Merkmale sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further inventive features are characterized in the dependent claims.
