Abstract

A programmable electric capacitance micro-pump system is different from a conventional micro-pump system. The invented micro-pump does not require a check valve or a nozzle as needed in a conventional micro-pump, and has a different fluid driving method from that of a conventional micro-pump. Meanwhile, the invented micro-pump is capable of programmable electrical control of the direction and rate of fluid flow, and has a simplified chamber structure. Thus, the present invention has advantages including simple production process, high reliability, high yield, low cost, and suitable for mass production, etc. A conventional micro-pump system generally comprises two major parts: an actuating chamber with a reciprocative and vibrational membrane chamber for driving a fluid flow, and a check valve chamber for providing a one directional fluid flow. The two parts generally are produced separately and glued together into an integral micro-pump. Thus, the production of a conventional micro-pump is time consuming and has a poor yield and reliability. The invented capacitive micro-pump does not require a valve and a diffusion opening/nozzle structure, and requires only a longitudinal, flat and rectangular micro fluid flow chamber where the top and bottom faces of the chamber are covered with an elastic membrane plated with a plurality of strip-like (grid-like) metal electrodes. A capacitive electrostatic suction force generated between the grid-like electrodes and the bottom electrode of the chamber and the return force of the elastic membrane are used. An actuating voltage with a suitable phase difference is applied on each grid-like electrode to drive the elastic membrane in order to generate a plurality of unidirectional traveling waves so that the elastic membrane drives a fluid flow in a pulsation manner, thereby enabling a smooth and efficient operation of the micro-pump. The invented programmable electrostatic micro-pump system provides a longitudinal, flat and rectangular micro-chamber where each grid-like metal electrode thereon is adequately connected. Moreover, an external programmed voltage is applied to drive the elastic membrane to generate a transversal advancing wave or pressure field, where the direction of the fluid flow can be pre-selected.

To play an important role, microfluidic rotation in the _J | j system must be powered and To accurately control its flow, it is worthwhile for us to study the innovative development of micropumps.

Description of the invention (2)-Poor operation stability. The electromagnetic type is driven by the interaction of current and magnetic field. The electrostatic method uses the mutual change of charge and stress on the capacitance of the material to stimulate the resonance of the material to produce a driving effect. ^ 2. Prior art: In the existing Weiguopu system, the husband and wife's chic include two main parts. One is an actuating chamber (Actuat: r) g Chamber, which has a reciprocating diaphragm (diaphragm), and the chamber can drive the fluid therein. The second is a check valve chamber section. The function is to make the fluid acting as a reciprocating force flow only to one side. These two parts are generally completed separately, and then combined into a micro-pump by gluing, which is labor-consuming, time-consuming, and has low yield and reliability. The valve-type micro-pump is a mechanism that uses a cantilever beam as a switching valve to avoid the phenomenon of backflow in the body to improve the efficiency of the pump. There are also many problems with the design of the check valve, such as wear and fatigue (Ja ^ gUe). Clogging of the valve is also a factor to consider. The valveless pump uses nozzles and md! Ffuser elements to replace the movable valve to avoid damage caused by repeated fatigue caused by repeated movements of the port length%. Later design and research of micropumps

It is composed of the driving part and the valve part S. The driving part includes #electrode, membrane, actuation chamber, valve The part includes the structure of the check valve and the chamber. When a voltage signal is applied to the driving film, an electrostatic attractive force is generated in the driving chamber. The actuating film will bulge and move upward, and the volume in the chamber gradually increases. The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is closed. The fluid will be sucked through the inlet door reader ... 1 water absorption mode (SUPplym〇de). When 1 is not loaded, the 'St' actuated diaphragm is restored due to mechanical elasticity. In the original state, the volume in the chamber gradually decreases. The inlet valve is closed and the outlet valve is open.

The electrostatic micropump is inconvenient, so when it is used in mass production, it will cause the micropump to lose its original function. The lack is that the entire structure is complex and the process is quite difficult. U) Valveless micropump: The valveless type uses a diffuser / nozzle and a nozzle (diffuser / nozzle,) structure at the front and rear / inlet and outlet of the micropump to replace the check valve. The use of the pressure difference formed by the different openings causes different amounts of fluid inflow and inflow to achieve the function of transmitting fluid. The diffuser (dif fuser) is a device with a gradually increasing cross-sectional area that can reduce the flow velocity of the fluid to increase the pressure. The nozzle (ozzle) is a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area that can increase the fluid. The volume in the cavity increases, called the supply mode (supply mode). At this time, the inlet is a diffuser, and the outlet is a nozzle. When the diaphragm is activated to vibrate downward, the volume in the cavity decreases, called In the pump mode, the entrance is a mouthful and the exit is a diffuser. The valveless design avoids the disadvantages of passive valve type. The second figure shows the principle of a valveless micropump. One,

Description of the invention (9) There is no need for valve design at the outlet and at both ends. Using the moving film as the upper cavity wall of the flat rectangular microchannel, the actuating film is plated with multiple f-shaped metal electrodes, and the grid electrode and the electrode at the bottom of the chamber are used to generate the electrostatic attractive effect. As a result, the T-balance of the film due to the electrostatic force and its restoring force is deformed downward. The fifth figure is a front view of the entrance and exit of the schematic diagram of the design structure. The film covers the long flat rectangular groove of the substrate. The length of the rectangular microchannel is 200 / ^, and the depth is i〇 # ㈤. The sixth figure is the side view of the design junction _ # intention of the micropump, which is thin. 朕 朕 is plated with a number of metal mechanical 911 electrodes, the phase shift voltage of '11' is applied to each electrode . The seventh figure is the micro-pump cross-section of the design structure diagram = :: to see the deformation of the elastic film depression. The eighth figure is the design, and the second one is the longitudinal cut section of the micropump. It can be seen that the film generates electric waves in space based on the electric voltage, the given voltage, and the electrostatic force field. When any grid electrode is subjected to a periodic voltage signal, if the voltage of any adjacent rain electrode maintains a fixed phase delay, the thickness of the film is reversed, and the reverse wave is forward or backward]. When the input voltage is not zero, the film junction is deformed by the attraction of the thin film junction, and the deformation process may be determined by 狰, t, and the degree of penetration must be determined according to the magnitude of the lightning pressure signal. The larger the voltage input, the thinner the film is, Can be attached to the substrate. When the input voltage is turned on, the cross-section becomes more attractive, and the actuated film also rapidly bounces: at low potential, static and change also cause the deformation of the film to sag and follow the phase shift of the Jiang voltage. % Movement ’produces the same direction. As shown in the ninth figure, different voltage signals φΐ on the force ports of each electrode on the film.

The voltage signal makes the electrostatic force field in space =. With the increase of time, the deformed state also changes the phase of the moving phase, the change of the shift, and the change of the thin film. The vertical coordinate in the ninth figure represents the change of the thin film, and a traveling wave is formed. The electrode, with time increasing t 丨, 12 1 ^, the horizontal coordinate represents that each metal thin film is generated by the change of the electrostatic force field '~ t4, ·, ··,-it can be seen that the amplitude of the actuation voltage Φ and The horizontal coordinate time t is closed. The tenth chart is the change of the vertical voltage signal over time. The displacement of the parent metal electrodes also affects the change in the electrostatic force field, and the voltage amplitude changes with time. As the-electrode of the first electrode, the patterning film becomes larger and gradually increases to the maximum, and the electrostatic force field also gradually increases. ": The larger the amplitude, the greater the time, and the time continues to increase. The deformation of the film is gradually reduced and recovered, and the amplitude is gradually reduced, so the thin-signal phase displacement control method. This periodic explanation of the driving voltage is described in the motion mechanism of the capacitive micropump, such as the tenth long block. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, β 7 〇 area area, the black block represents the energy, and the strength of the film's field, so the film following the three cases in the static shift of each voltage signal to make a field Spatial phase shifts force deformation of thin films and electrodes 第 16 页 56_i

The voltage in the initial state of the region Λ and Λ is V1, which causes the thin film and the electrode to cause ί electric power J: After the phase shift, the original voltage signal is increased to v2 and the diaphragm is sunken more, as shown in the eleventh figure arrow # ”& gt The chief electrician is going. The thin gland is & does not know the method of membrane electrode movement ":? It will push the fluid of the same volume, because the right end force: = ί side, similar to the effect of the nozzle, two = poor, so the fluid will flow to the right after squeezing, which is the micro-pump drainage mode (pUmp mode) .疋 ^ Consider the 6th area. The initial state voltage signal is V2. Add 4 voltage to the right to make phase shift to the right. If the same electrode is driven by 0 VI, the strength of the electrostatic force field will decrease as the voltage signal decreases. It moves upward due to the mechanical restoring force, and the arrow indicates that the membrane electrode t is restored. The recovery state of the film is similar to the role of a diffuser. Because the area at the right end is smaller than the area on the left, the pressure field is different. When the film recovers, it will inhale the same amount of fluid as the recovery volume, which is the water absorption of the capacitive micropump. Mode (supp 1 y in 〇de). The above description can understand the results of the creep caused by the change in electrostatic field strength and spatial phase caused by the phase shift of the voltage signal. In this kind of driving mode, the electric valley micropumps created in this book can push and suck fluid smoothly. ,
