[Previous technology] Microfluidic industrial components made using micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology are small in size, accurate in flow control and fast in response time, and can be integrated with conventional micro-sensors. In the same system, the feedback control is performed first, and then a large number of batches can be manufactured. Therefore, it has gradually become the most valuable and widely used micro-pump (Micro Pump) element in the imitated flow & 5: Since the development of related technologies has gradually matured, it has been used in chemical analysis, biomedicine, or micro-cooling air-conditioning systems. It is currently widely used in many systems, such as Article 80 Two thin film 81 are used as the inlet and outlet of the micro_82 for the external working fluid, and the second outlet 83 is used to control the flow direction. However, after long-term use, the valve and moving parts will reliably sound, ia -r π 丁 竹 U β 祯 and gradually reduce it: the degree can even cause the phenomenon of material fatigue (Fatigue) phenomenon at the connecting end of the valve, and the force of the valve force a di μ * ^ may also lead to the loss of knowledge of the fluid pressure, and reduce its Driving traffic pollution Problem. — The back flow of the stage body uses piezoelectric material as the driving source. Therefore, it is known that the 1228101 valve-type micropump 85 is proposed, which is shown in Figures 12A and 12B. The sheet 86 serves as a driving force for the working fluid, and the deformation of the piezoelectric sheet 86 is controlled by voltage, and then the external working fluid can be driven into the micropump as shown in FIG. 12A, or as shown in FIG. 12B. The working fluid in the micro-pump 85 is discharged to the outside. Although this design can avoid the problems caused by the aforementioned valves and moving parts, the deformation of the piezoelectric plate 86 is limited by its material. Deformation of about 1 μιη, and its output flow has a certain limit (maximum only about 2.3ml / min). It is difficult to pay for commercial needs. '@ 时' The design may also occur when the micropump M operates. Phenomenon, which reduces the driving efficiency of its working fluid and leads to contamination of the working fluid. A new design is to use a ferrofluid (Ferrofluidic Magnetic) to drive the working fluid in the micropump to achieve a higher drive. Efficiency and flow, as described in Article 13 @ 所The design is a circular closed pipeline 90, and the pipeline 90 is filled with working fluid 91 and a section of ferrofluid 92 ', and the pipeline 93 is formed with an inlet 93 and an external communication port, respectively. At the exit 94, the middle, the entrance 93 and the exit 94 are provided with a fixed magnet. The material path is: the inner edge is provided with a moving magnet moving around the pipeline 90, so that the ferrofluid 92 is subject to the Driven by the moving magnet% to move within the Bianguan Road 90, and the fixed magnet% is used to form a 阙 -gate between the inlet 93 and the outlet 94 of the pipeline, and the working fluid can be operated as shown in the figure. 91 drives 1228101 from the inlet% to discharge from the outlet 94, completing the pumping cycle; however, this design only considers the driving efficiency of the working fluid 91, but does not take into account the serious mixing of the working fluid 91 and the ferrofluid 92 The “pollution problem” is particularly for micropumps used in the fields of chemical analysis or biomedical systems. “The working fluid driven by them often has extremely high purity requirements.” If this n is used, the discharged sanitary fluid 91 is obvious. Unable to meet this requirement, and such as operating time The longer the pollution becomes, the more serious it becomes. [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a micro-pump using a magnetic fluid or a magneto-variable fluid that can control the flow rate and reduce or eliminate fluid backflow. That is, the second purpose of this description is to provide a micropump that uses a magnetic fluid or a magnetofluid fluid to deform a thin film. ^ Another object of the present invention is to provide a micropump using a magnetic fluid or a magnetically variable fluid which can increase the flow rate by combining a plurality of micropumps. Λ Another object of the present invention is to provide a micropump that uses a magnetic fluid as a working fluid and has an unrestricted shape of a micropump that uses a magnetic fluid or a magnetically variable fluid. Another object of the present invention is to provide a micropump that can be used in combination with a plurality of micropumps as a fluid switch to apply magnetic fluid or magnetically variable current 1228101. In order to achieve the foregoing and other objectives, the present invention provides a micropump using a magnetic fluid or a magnetically variable fluid, which is used to drive a working fluid and includes at least one micropump element, and each micropump element system includes: The accommodating space and at least one opening body that can communicate with the accommodating space; a film formed in the accommodating space of the body to separate the accommodating space into a first space and a second space, and make The at least one opening communicates with the second space, and the second space is filled with the working fluid; the magnetic fluid (Ferro-Fluid) / Magneto-Rheological Fluid filled in the first space; And a magnetic field generating unit is used to apply a magnetic field to the accommodating space to cause the magnetic fluid / magneto-fluidic fluid to continuously deform the film, thereby driving the working fluid into and out of the opening. Another micropump element of the micropump provided by the present invention includes: a body having a containing space and at least one opening which can be communicated to the containing space, and the containing space is filled with the working fluid; At least two magnetofluidic / magnetofluidic fluid early elements' are respectively located on opposite sides of the accommodating space; and a magnetic field used to drive the at least two magnetofluidic / magnetofluidic fluid early elements generates an early element to make the magnetism The fluid / magneto-fluidic unit generates a continuous relative displacement, which in turn drives the working fluid into and out of the opening. The aforementioned magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid unit is a magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid that is not mutually soluble with the working fluid, or a magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid that is formed by coating with a thin film package 1228101, and has a size of about 10 nm. The iron or iron oxide particles attract magnetic particles with the same magnetization direction to each other after being subjected to an external magnetic field, thereby causing the magnetic fluid / magnetic fluid to change phase into a solid within a few milliseconds. Conversely, when the magnetic field is removed, The magnetic particles will recover and collide and be uniformly distributed in the magnetic fluid / magnetically variable fluid, so that the solidified magnetic fluid / magnetically variable fluid will quickly return to the liquid state. Therefore, when the magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid is transformed into a solid by the magnetization of the magnetic field, the magnetic solid can be deformed or displaced by the magnetic field, and the working fluid can be driven into and out of the micropump by the deformation or displacement. The body itself exerts a pumping function. In addition, the aforementioned body is formed with two openings, which are an inlet of the working fluid into the accommodating space and an outlet of the accommodating space, which are each composed of a diffuser and a nozzle. At the same time, the opening An opening control element is arranged on the upper part to open the outlet and close the inlet when the working grasping body wants to flow out of the outlet, and open the inlet to close the outlet when the working fluid wants to flow into the inlet. The opening control element is Including another magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid that can be displaced by the driving of a magnetic field, to close the inlet and outlet by using a magnetic field to control the displacement of the magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid, to avoid working & backflow It can improve the driving efficiency of the working fluid. Therefore, the micropump using the magnetic fluid or the magneto-fluid fluid according to the present invention uses the characteristic that the magneto-fluid / magneto-fluid can be attracted by the magnetic field of 1228101 after being magnetically solidified, and the magneto-fluid / magneto-fluid is used as the working fluid. Drive source, and then control the input and output of the working fluid by the intersection or displacement of the magnetic fluid / magneto-fluidic fluid. When a plurality of micropumps are combined, the output flow is increased, and at the same time, the magnetic fluid can be borrowed. The opening control element composed of fluid / magneto-fluidic fluid controls a certain flow rate and avoids backflow.

而如第2B圖所不形成液體,·因此,當該磁流體/ 磁變流體4〇受磁化而形成固體時,該磁性固體40 將受該電磁鐵開關50之磁力吸引而壓迫該pDMS 12 1228101As shown in FIG. 2B, no liquid is formed. Therefore, when the magnetic fluid / magnetic fluid 40 is magnetized to form a solid, the magnetic solid 40 will be attracted by the magnetic force of the electromagnet switch 50 and compress the pDMS 12 1228101.

At this time, the micropump is in Pump Mode operation. On the contrary, when the electromagnet switch 50 receives a reverse voltage, a reverse magnetic field is applied to the accommodation space 20 and the magnetic solid It will return to the magnetic fluid / magnetofluidic fluid regeneration in milliseconds = it is a magnetic solid 40, and because of its opposite magnetization direction, it repels the electromagnet switch 50, causing the PDMS film to reversely deform and compress. The first space 25, as shown in FIG. 3B, makes the second space 26 filled with the working fluid larger. At this time, the working fluid input into the second space 26 from the inlet 21 and the outlet 22 will be more than The working fluid in the second space 26 is output, and the micro-pump is operated in a supply mode to complete a complete pumping cycle and exert the function of driving the working fluid. The switching frequency of the electromagnet switch 50 can be as high as 1000 Hz.

Therefore, in the pump of this embodiment, the PDMS film 30 can reciprocate the film vibration at a frequency of up to 1000 Hz. Then, the working fluid is driven by the vibration, so that the working fluid reaches a driving frequency of more than 1000 Hz. Because the PDMS film 30 has extremely high stretchability, in addition to the positive and reverse magnetic fields, the electromagnet switch 50 can also apply a magnetic field and remove the magnetic field by repeatedly applying positive and reverse voltages. 〇ι 3〇1 = Alternate line operation, and the same effect as that of the main and complex vibrations of the PDMS film r 卩 1 can be achieved. At this time, the magnetic solid 40 will instantly return to the magnetic fluid 7 magnetically variable fluid due to the magnetic field. No longer attracted by: = the magnet switch 50 causes the PDMS film 30 to quickly change and shrink, and can also reach the pump as shown in Figures 3A and 3B. Therefore, because the deformation or displacement of the magnetic fluid of the present invention is made by the external institute, it can solve the problem that the piezoelectric micropump is deformed by the voltage plate: the flow rate is small, so the present invention can change the film thickness.牦 大. At the same time, the time required for the magnetic fluid to change from a liquid to a solid state requires only a response time of milliseconds. Therefore, a slight increase in flow rate can be caused by the increase in the frequency of action. Another = Ming = Magnetic fluid is the working fluid. The micropump can be flexibly designed without restricting the use of magnetic pumps or magnetically variable fluid micropumps. Therefore, it is known that the driving source of the first embodiment is a magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid 40 'controlled by an external magnetic field, and the transition frequency of the magnetic field change and the phase fluid / magneto-fluid 40 phase change are extremely polar. High, which can make the PDMS film 30 have a large amount of deformation and deformation frequency 22 and can drive a much larger flow than the conventional micropump, and its flow can be controlled by the magnetic field for constant flow, and can be used For micro-cooled air-conditioning systems that require a large flow or a system that requires a fixed flow ^. At the same time, in this embodiment, it is also possible to reduce the design of the known moving parts and parts "so as not to cause unnecessary component wear or fluid pressure loss, and the design of the opening control element can also control the closing of the inlet and outlet. To prevent the working fluid from flowing backwards: stain 14 1228101, and use the liquid magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid fluid to make its overall structure not have restrictions on its appearance. In this embodiment, only a single micropump element 1 is used as an example. However, the micropump using the magnetic fluid or the magneto-fluidic fluid of the present invention can also be combined with a plurality of micropump elements as shown in FIG. 4 to increase the overall drive. Traffic and increase the areas where the present invention can be used. Fig. 5A is a top view of a second embodiment of a micropump using a magnetic fluid or a magneto-fluidic fluid according to the present invention, which uses a single micropump element 2 as an example, and Fig. 5B is an arrangement in the second embodiment. For example, the upper cover plate 55 on the micropump element 2, wherein the quilt shown in FIG. 5A includes a silicon substrate body 60, and an accommodating space 65 is formed in the body 60. An inlet 61 and an outlet 62 are respectively opened on both sides, which are respectively designed as a diffuser 63 and a nozzle 64 to communicate with the accommodation space 65 and as working fluid to flow into or out of the opening of the accommodation space 65, so that The accommodating space 65 becomes a flow channel of the working fluid. At the same time, two opposite sides of the accommodating space 65 are filled with a magnetic fluid / magneto-fluidic unit 70 respectively, so that the magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid unit 70 and the working fluid The fluid is located in the accommodation space 65 at the same time. The aforementioned magnetic fluid / magneto-fluidic unit 70 is a magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid that is not mutually soluble with the working fluid, or a magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid that is overmolded with a PDMS film, but if the magnetic fluid / There is a possibility of mutual dissolution between the magnetotropic fluid and the working fluid, so the PDMS film must be used to cover the separation to avoid the magnetic fluid / magnetic 15 1228101 and eighth edition / the working fluid and detract from the magnetic user.

At the same time, two opposite movable magnets 56 are arranged on the upper cover plate 55.

At the center of the plate 55, and as shown in FIG. 6B, the two corresponding solidified magnetofluidic / magnetofluidic units 70 are displaced to bring them close to each other. At this time, the two magnetofluidic / magnetofluidic units 70 can be squeezed Press the working fluid in the accommodation space ^ 65, so that the working fluid output from the accommodation space 65 from the inlet 61, outlet 6 2 is more than the working fluid input to the accommodation space 65, and make the micropump Perform the pump mode operation. Otherwise, when the movable magnet 56 is driven again to separate from each other and return to the opposite sides of the upper cover 55, the two solidified magnetic fluid / magneto-fluidic units 70 will also be displaced and separated from each other. And by the accommodation 16! 228101 = the pressure drop in 65, so that the work from the entrance 6m, out of the accommodation space 65, the households are more prepared than the rotation out of the accommodation The working fluid of space 65, and make Xi Xiye a / 工 — I? A unitary pump cycle. Therefore, if the frequency of the movable magnet 26 is adjusted to be more than 1000Ηζ, then in the pump of this embodiment, the two pairs of magnetic fluid / magneto-fluidic unit 70 will reciprocate. Frequency bamboo, * _ 入 # In the meantime, it was hunting to reset the drive to drive the machine to reach a driving frequency above 1000Hz. In this embodiment, the upper and lower brackets 55 and 29 are not limited to the design of Figure 5B, but can also be configured on the entire upper cover '3 surface, as shown in Figure 7fi. The entire row of r and na :,, 7 is the electromagnet 57 that is floating. The magnetic field start sequence of the entire row of electromagnets 7 can be controlled by the arrow shown in the figure, and the upper side: the two sides of the plate 55 are in order. Start to the central position, and use the movable magnet 56 in Figure 5B to describe the result, and then make the accommodation space 65: the second effect: the magnetic field movement effect and the two relative magnetically-fluid fluid units 70 are displaced. And if Wanshe broadcasts ... "Move close to each other, the rational fluid drive effect can also be exerted. The micropump element 2 of this second embodiment is also the same as the previous first example, and can be combined with each other as in Section δ It is shown in the figure (the upper panel is not shown) to output a higher flow rate of working fluid, and can be used in a micro cooling air-conditioning system that requires a large flow. &Amp; outer, continued: Reality: Example of the entrance to the storage space 61. The diffuser at the outlet 62; between the 63 and the vocal 64 can be shown in Figures 9A and 9B (the upper cover 1228101 board is not shown) An opening control element is provided. This opening control element is the same as the above-mentioned open σ control element. It is a magnetic fluid / magnetofluidic unit 71a, 71b driven by most fork magnetic fields. The change is on the entrance side and the exit side, respectively, the first-level road 72 and the first-line; sound, &, Shi Leyi grasps the road 73 displacement, so if you can keep the opening control element on the same day, Θ The magnetic fluid / Shiyi / claw limb 70 in the valley space 65 integrates with a magnetic field to perform a synchronous displacement integration, and can achieve the desired flow and flow direction control effect. For example, in the pump mode shown in Figure 9A, continued交 @, σ The magnetic fluid / magneto-variable makeup unit 70 in Qiaogu Zhijian 65 is still divided into two sides. At this time, the magnetic fluid / magneto-fluid unit 71b in the second flow channel 73 on the exit side is displaced to The outlet 62 of the accommodating space 65 is closed, so that external working fluid can flow into the accommodating space 65 from the inlet 61 on the side of the mysterious inlet. Conversely, when the micropump operates as shown in FIG. 9B In the supply mode, the name = magnetic fluid / magneto-fluidic unit 70 in the home 65 will be listed. The magnetic field on 55 is displaced and moved close to each other to squeeze = the working fluid in the accommodation space 65, and at this time, the magnetic fluid / magneto-fluidic unit 7ia in the first flow passage 72 on the inlet side will be displaced to. The inlet 61 of the workshop 65 is closed, so that the working fluid in the accommodating space 65 will flow from the outlet side of the outlet to the outside. It can be ordered and controlled, and does not work like a conventional micropump. The backflow of the fluid does not cause contamination of the working fluid. ^ ^ The micropump embodiment shown in Figure 10 (not shown on the top cover) is an additional one on the opening control element shown in Figures 9 A and 9B. 18 1228101 Flow knife change function, to make a more precise control, ^ / claw body in or out of the flow of the accommodation space 65 two / for example, the operation mode shown in the figure, the use of displacement to discharge the health control ^ Possible energy of the fluid / magneto-fluid unit, using a magnetic field to control the work body / magneto-fluid unit which can be switched by the fluid_ The magnetic current outlet 62 in the second flow channel 73 is only open: = displacement 'In order to make the outlet of the 62 rounds required: ,,: make the micropump only on the single-output The need for oral control is long, and the polar body is required to take into account both large flow and constant flow. The present invention can be applied to a biomedical system that urgently needs to be fixed and is only capable of working in Yidan. / / Guali Pump for & Ben Beiteli provides applications that can combine multiple micro-mercuries as μ-body switchers. The present == is designed by the second embodiment of the present invention, that is, the β U pump system is a single micro pump element combined with 2 micro pump elements, namely-" 1 with its external magnetic field and magnetic fluid / magnetic fluid: 70. = Displacement, driving a current pole far higher than the conventional micropump can use the magnetic field for quantitative control, and it can also reduce the design of known moving parts and valve parts, which will not cause unnecessary inconvenience. : Wear or fluid pressure loss, and through the opening control element sigh meter, the closing of the inlet 6 i and outlet 62 can also be controlled to avoid backflow of working fluid and pollution, and use the liquid magnetic limb / magnetic change Fluid so that its overall structure does not have physical restrictions.
