Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention are concerned with a pump and a pump assembly, and more particularly with a pump and pump assembly which operate using a pumping membrane and which are suitable for a microstructure.
  • Known compressors for pressure ranges above 10 bar are typically 1- or 2-stage piston-cylinder systems with a powerful electric motor and a construction volume that is too large for microsystems.
  • Small compressors with a volume of less than 1 dm 3 are usually diaphragm pumps with electric drive.
  • maximum pressure ranges up to 2 bar are specified.
  • micromembrane pumps with passive check valves, which have a construction space of only a few cm 3 .
  • An exemplary micromembrane pump is from the DE 19719862 A1 known.
  • This micromembrane pump comprises a pumping membrane, which is movable by means of a drive device into a first and a second position.
  • a pump body is connected to the pumping membrane to define a pumping chamber therebetween.
  • An inlet opening and an outlet opening are each provided with passive check valves.
  • micromembrane pumps achieve only delivery rates of 0.02 1 / min for water and 0.05 1 / min with air and the achievable pressures of micromembrane pumps are relatively small, with a maximum backpressure (with compressible gas as the delivery volume) of about 400 hPa.
  • the WO 2006/111775 A discloses a fluid pump having one or more actuators, two end walls, a sidewall and a cavity containing fluid during use.
  • the cavity has a substantially cylindrical shape defined by the end walls and the side walls. At least two openings are formed through the cavity walls, wherein at least one of the openings is a valved opening. A radius and a height of the cavity satisfy predetermined conditions.
  • the actuator causes swinging movement of one or both end walls in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the end walls such that axial vibrations of the end walls cause radial oscillations of fluid pressure in the cavity.
  • the GB-A-2248891 discloses a micropump having a liquid inlet, a pumping chamber whose volume is variable through a membrane, and a liquid outlet.
  • the liquid inlet communicates constantly with the pumping chamber, whereas a valve is provided between the pumping chamber and the liquid outlet.
  • the flow resistance of the liquid inlet is sufficiently high to ensure that the amount of liquid flowing back through the inlet is sufficiently low during a pressure phase of the pumping cycle as compared to an amount of liquid flowing through the outlet valve in a forward direction.
  • a piezoelectric element actuates the membrane.
  • the EP-A-0546427 teaches a microvalve and method of making the same.
  • the microvalve is to be fabricated in thin membranes, with a valve seat being part of a thin membrane, and a valve body connected in a leak-tight manner at its edge to the valve body.
  • the JP 03103680 A discloses a microvalve having a diaphragm which, in a curved state, is opposite and substantially normally closed to an inlet port.
  • An excitation coil is attached to a first silicon base plate.
  • a magnetic film is attached to a silicon diaphragm and is repelled when the excitation coil is energized. By applying an electrical signal to the excitation coil, the silicon diaphragm is deflected by the generation of a magnetic field to open the input port.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are based on the finding that by using a pumping membrane having a passageway therethrough provided with a passive check valve, small diameter pumps with high flow rates can be implemented at both high and low pressures.
  • Embodiments of the present invention may be directed to micropumps or micromembrane pumps, which are understood here to mean diaphragm pumps whose displacement is in the microliter range or below.
  • the stroke volume may be in a range from 200 nl to 200 ul.
  • Embodiments of the invention provide micropumps whose delivery rate may be several liters per minute, both at high pressures and at small pressures that can be delivered by the pump.
  • Embodiments of the present invention allow the implementation of high delivery rate micropumps at different pressures.
  • Embodiments of the invention may enable the implementation of micropumps having a pressure of 16 to 25 bar (16 x 10 3 to 25 x 10 3 hPa) delivered by them at a delivery rate of at least 0.5 liters per minute.
  • Such micropumps can, for example, enable the realization of an oil-free microcompressor, for example for use in a Bernoullie / Joule-Thompson cooler.
  • micropumps having a large flow rate of one to several liters per minute at a moderate pressure of 50 hPa to 400 hPa.
  • the pump may be a piezoelectric micromembrane pump in which the actuator is a piezoceramic formed on the pumping membrane.
  • the micromembrane can have a circular circumference, wherein the piezoceramic can be arranged in a ring around a centrally formed, provided with a passive check valve passage opening.
  • the pressure achievable with piezoelectric micromembrane pumps depends on the compression ratio, the valve tightness and the pressure ratio between the top and bottom of the pumping membrane.
  • Embodiments of the invention enable the achievement of high pressures with the aid of piezoelectric micromembrane pumps, without requiring a series connection of several pumps with separate fluid connections.
  • a series connection of several pumps is basically possible if the pump diaphragm ensures pressure equalization between the pump inlet and the upper side of the diaphragm, ie pump outlet. In this way, the maximum possible pressure of the entire system can be determined by the sum of the maximum pressures of the individual pump modules.
  • a series connection of micropumps can be disadvantageous because, first, the fluid flow between the pumps through hose connector or the like is expensive. On the other hand, such encounters also technological limits, since when reaching a higher pressure, the pumping membrane on the drive side sees the ambient pressure, that is exposed to the same, whereby the Aktorikiki must be oversized.
  • a pump module is in Fig. 1 shown.
  • the pump module comprises a pumping membrane 10, a passage opening 12 provided with a passive check valve 14, and a piezoceramic 16 mounted on the pumping membrane 10 is.

  • the piezoceramic 16 can then surround the passage opening 12 in an annular manner.
  • a control device 20 is shown, which may be formed to apply via corresponding electrical connections 22a and 22b a voltage difference to the piezoceramic 16 to cause actuation of the pumping membrane.
  • the control device 20 may, for example, have a controlled voltage source.
  • the control device 20 may be designed to apply a periodic voltage to the piezoceramic, for example a pulsed square-wave voltage having a suitable frequency and a suitable duty cycle (of, for example, 1: 1).
  • the pumping membrane may be a metallic pumping membrane, which may be made of spring stainless steel, for example.
  • the control device 20 may be designed to apply an electrical voltage between the metallic pumping membrane 10 and an electrode arranged on the upper side of the piezoceramic 16.
  • the pumping membrane 10 made of a non-conductive material, such as silicon, consist, in which case corresponding conductive structures for applying the voltage to the piezoceramic 16 may be provided.
  • the passive check valve 14 may be integrated, for example, of silicon, wherein a check valve chip with a corresponding passive check valve 14 may be mounted in the passage opening 12.

  • the passive check valve 14 comprises a valve flap 30, which is structured in the silicon wafer 26, and a valve seat 32, which is structured in the silicon wafer 24.
  • the valve seat 32 provides a support surface or support webs for the valve flap 30. In general, the width of the support webs and the distance between the valve flap and the support webs in the open state determines the flow resistance of the check valve.
  • the check valve module or valve may be attached to the pumping membrane 10 in any suitable manner to provide a check valve for the port 12.
  • a corresponding non-return valve chip may be glued into the passage opening or glued to the pump diaphragm above or below the passage opening.
  • the pump module can be of a very simple construction and can be used to implement both pumps with high achievable pressures and low pressures achievable.
  • FIG Fig. 2 A schematic cross-sectional view of a pump is shown in FIG Fig. 2 shown.
  • Fig. 1 the example shown is in Fig. 1 arranged pump module in a pumping chamber by the pumping membrane 10 is connected at its periphery with housing parts 40 and 42.
  • the pumping membrane 10 is circumferentially clamped by the housing parts 40 and 42.
  • In the housing part 40 an inlet opening 44 is formed, while in the housing part 42 an outlet opening 46 is formed.
  • the piezoceramic 16 represents an actuating device for the pumping membrane, wherein in turn a control device (in Fig. 2 not shown) is provided to apply a suitable operating voltage to the piezoceramic.

  • the check valve 60 is designed such that a movement of the pumping membrane 10 from the in Fig. 4 shown Position in a deflected to the housing part 40 toward closed position on the check valve 60 acts. As a result, it can be effectively prevented that during this movement fluid is forced through the inlet opening 44 counter to the actual pumping direction, since the check valve 60 prevents such reflux.
  • the check valve 60 at the inlet opening thus allows an increase in the efficiency of the pump.
  • the check valve 60 may be implemented in any manner, for example, using a check valve chip as shown in FIG Fig. 3 is shown.
