241P-Ref: 95132LU (VY) Er TRATEC SE ie > | ww Fo LU101254
DESCRIPTION Field of the Invention
[0001] The invention relates to a method for monitoring a dispensed fluid jet. Brief description of the related art
[0002] Automated analyser systems for use in clinical diagnostics and life sciences are produced by a number of companies. For example, STRATEC® SE, Birkenfeld, Germany, produces a number of devices for specimen handling and detection for use in automated analyser systems and other laboratory instrumentation.
[0003] The detection of a fluidic free jet is well known in the prior art and can be done by various technologies. Optical sensors are used for instance which are based on the principle of a photoelectric barrier or image processing. Capacitance sensors are also used for detecting a change in the capacitance by the free jet. Finally, inductive sensors and tactile sensors may be used for detecting a free fluidic jet.
[0004] There are various options known in the prior art for monitoring the flow in a tube, which determine, for example, the volume flow of a fluid by means of thermal measurements or ultrasonic waves.
[0005] Pneumatic sensors are usually used to detect solid objects. They may also be used to detect fluids under certain circumstances. Generally, there are four types of pneumatic sensors: stagnation pressure sensors, ring jet sensors, counter barrier jet sensors and barrier jet sensors. Pneumatic sensors may also be used for distance measurement, tool breakage control and position control. The main advantage of these sensors is that they work contactless and have a relatively small size and that they are dirt-resistant. I 0H © J geen
241P-Ref: 95132LU (VY) Ro STRATEC SE 7 | Aw 2 LU101254
[0006] Stagnation pressure sensors (FIG. 1a) use a constant pressure p,. If an object reaches the front of a nozzle, a stagnation pressure p, builds up, which is proportional to the distance of the object. The stagnation pressure p, can be tapped and measured via a lateral channel.
[0007] Using ring barrier sensors (FIG. 1b), a constant free jet p, is applied via ring shaped channels. If an object reaches the front of a nozzle, the free jet is reflected from the object into the center of the nozzle. This creates a stagnation pressure p, in the middle channel.
[0008] Using counter barrier sensors (FIG. Ic), two different jets are applied in the measurement chamber with pressure p,. The jet created on the underside is stronger than the one at the top due to different channel geometries. Thus, a stagnation pressure p, builds up in front of the upper nozzle, which can be measured in a separate channel. If an object gets into the free jet of the lower nozzle and interrupts it, the stagnation pressure is also built up.
[0009] A barrier sensor (FIG. 1d) consists of a transmitter and receiver that lie opposite to each other. À constant pressure p, is applied to create a free jet. If an object arrives between sender and receiver, the stagnation pressure p, is built up.
[0010] Optical sensors have the aim to detect a fluidic free jet within a low volume flow. The fluidic free jet can be easily disturbed in low volumetric flows and therefore tends to break off into smaller droplets. These droplets may settle on surrounding surfaces. Thus, sensor solutions which can easily be influenced by contaminations with droplets, debris or a deposition of substances contained in the fluid (e.g. salt) are unsuitable, for example for optical sensors. The contamination will result in a false signal, which results in an erroneous detection of the fluidic free jet.
[0011] Sensors for flow measurement in tubes are used in methods for detecting a volume flow in a tube/pipeline and cannot be used for a free jet, since completely different boundary conditions are present.
[0012] All pneumatic sensors have in common that the air flow is interrupted by a solid body in order to generate a back pressure or to interrupt the air flow. In case of a fluid jet, the air flow also interacts directly with the fluid, but can cause high disturbances in the trajectory of the jet, because of a correspondingly high force that is acting on a fluid jet. If the air volume flow is 2
241P-Ref: 95132LU (VY) NE STRATEC SE oA | LAW £ LU101254 reduced to avoid deflection of the fluid jet, the measured signal will change and therefore the signal noise ratio will be reduced which results in a reduced system robustness, as for example slammed doors may easily influence the pressure measurement.
[0013] Oscillation nozzles are used exclusively in the already described or related applications. A use as a sensor for monitoring fluids in form of a free jet is the subject of this invention. Object of the Invention

[0028] FIG. 1 shows pneumatic sensors of the state of the art: (a) shows a stagnation pressure sensor, (b) shows a ring barrier sensor, (c) shoes a counter barrier sensor, (d) shows a barrier sensor.
[0029] FIG. 2 shows an oscillation nozzle.
[0030] FIG. 3 shows an oscillation nozzle with a drill hole in a secondary channel. Detailed Description of the Invention and the Figures
[0031] The technical problem is solved by the independent claims. The dependent claims cover further specific embodiments of the invention.
[0032] The present invention is based on an oscillation nozzle, which is available in the market in different embodiments. The oscillation nozzle is supplied with a fluid flow which is set in oscillation by the geometry of the nozzle itself. This results in an oscillation jet at the outlet of the nozzle.
[0033] FIG. 2A-F shows an oscillation nozzle 1. The air flow starts with a main air flow (bold arrows) passing through the middle of the main channel 15 and leaving the outlet 30 of the
241P-Ref: 95132LU (VY) No STRATEC SE Pla 3 LU101254 nozzle without oscillation (FIG. 2A). Because of asymmetries and turbulences, the air flow splits into main air flow and a first secondary side flow (dotted arrows). Said first secondary air flow goes through the upper secondary channel 10 (FIG. 2B) and deflects the main air flow so that it adheres to one side of the main channel 15 (FIG. 2C), due to the so called Coanda-effect. The deflected main air flow leaves the oscillation nozzle with an angle and splits in the main channel again so that a second secondary air flow goes through the lower secondary channel 11 at the opposite side (FIG. 2D). In parallel the first secondary air flow weakens and changes its direction in the upper secondary channel (FIG. 2D). The main air flow separates as a consequence from the wall of main channel 15 to which it adhered so far and adheres to the opposite side of the main channel 15 so that the angle with which it leaves the oscillation nozzle changes too (FIG. 2E). The described process will repeat itself iteratively and as a result (FIG. 2F), the jet leaves the nozzle outlet with changing angles having different directions. Depending on the specific geometry and the volume flow, the oscillation frequencies of the nozzle may vary. It is to be noted that the terms upper and lower are only used regarding the description of FIG. 2A-F and shall not be understood as limiting regarding the orientation of secondary channels or secondary air flows.
[0034] Oscillation nozzles are mostly used for cooling, distribution or mixing of fluids or for cleaning purposes. The amount of the supplied volume flow is proportional to the oscillation frequency of the nozzle.
[0035] The application of an oscillation nozzle ensures the measurement of a robust periodic signal at the pressure sensor. The present invention uses the secondary air flow, which is not strong enough to deflect the fluid jet but is sufficient to change the direction of the main air flow of the oscillation nozzle. When the fluid jet interacts with the air flow of the nozzle, the secondary air flow is reduced and therefore the oscillation frequency and the amplitude of the primary air flow is changed. It is therefore possible to detect the fluid jet by the change of the oscillation frequency and amplitude with the pressure sensor. Using this method of the present invention, it will possible to measure the exact time that the fluid needs to pass the nozzle, and therefore to determine the total amount of fluid. Contamination by droplets or other substances does not lead to a negative impact on the system, as it is permanently traversed by air and cleans itself. If there is a drop in the nozzle geometry, this will be blown out by the volume flow, which constantly changes its direction.
6
241P-Ref: 95132LU (VY) Ro STRATEC SE ln à Lutoizss
[0036] The effect of external disturbances or the total failure of the system can be evaluated by a change in the oscillation in combination with the amplitude signal, so that a robust measurement is guaranteed.
[0037] The present invention uses a drill hole 5 in a secondary channel 10 of the oscillation nozzle 1 to influence the frequency of the system and the amplitude of the measured signal (FIG. 3 left part). Due to the fluid-gas interaction, the secondary air flow is reduced by the fluid jet 12, which causes the amplitude as well as the frequency of the signal to drop (FIG. 3 right part). This difference is then measured by a pressure sensor 20. The drill hole 5 in the secondary channel 10 also provides an asymmetry of the system, which ensures reproducible starting conditions for the oscillation.
[0038] The advantages of the invention can be summarized as follows: a. Negligible beam deflection: Due to the low air flow in the secondary channel, the free fluid is only slightly deflected due to the low air flow. This small deflection additionally is compensated by a constant change of direction in the secondary channel (compared to Figure 2).
b. Flexibility: Detection of gases, liquids (regardless of diameter, amount, drops, bubbles, foam) and solids is possible, regardless of the optical properties.
c. Self-Cleaning: A self-cleaning regarding small drops, dirt particles etc. is ensured by a permanent flow through the nozzle with air.
d. Periodic Signal: The Oscillation itself and the change of the oscillation frequency and the amplitude of the measured signal ensures a very robust measurement/system. Slammed doors for example will only change the amplitude but not the frequency of the signal. Additionally, the frequency of a disturbance will be different in comparison to the system frequency and can be blocked by a suitable filter. The oscillation also allows a self-test of the system, as the signal can be measured without an interruption of the air flow by the fluid jet.
[0039] It is possible to guide the fluidic free jet not through the control channel of the oscillation nozzle, but at any other point through or behind the nozzle, which changes the oscillation behavior. The positioning of the pressure sensor can be changed. For example, the oscillation 7
241P-Ref: 95132LU (VY) Ro STRATEC SE Pin à Luroress of the nozzle at a laterally offset position may be determined by one or more sensors. This also applies to the angle at which the oscillating beam hits the sensor. The task of the sensor is to measure the oscillation of the air flow at the outlet 30 of the nozzle. This can be done by various methods, like a pressure sensor, a microphone or thermal measurement.
[0040] In order to improve the pressure signal, the geometry of the oscillation nozzle 1 can be further optimized. Through an adjustment of specific geometry parameters like the nozzle length, meaning the distance between in- and outlet of the nozzle, it is possible to vary frequency of the oscillation air flow, as well as by changing the angle and diameter at the outlet.
[0041] The foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the invention. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the invention and its practical application to enable one skilled in the art to utilize the invention in various embodiments as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the claims appended hereto, and their equivalents. The entirety of each of the aforementioned documents is incorporated by reference herein.
