[Background of the Invention] Fluid handling can be widely used in various fields, and its application range includes biochemical synthesis of spear knives, thermal components, and manipulation of solid components (s〇Hd components). With the rapid advancement of micromachining technology (micr〇faj3r][ca^〇n), a fluid analysis system that integrates a large number of fluid components is produced. The use of fluids in three-dimensional structures: channels and systems for transmission, mixing, convection or drive, etc., to meet the needs of different technical needs. For example, a pneumatic microfluid in a microfluidic wafer drives a 7L piece of material, and the means of transferring it to the fluid in W can not only perform complex and diverse actions, but also avoid cross-contamination that may occur clinically. In order to verify the speedy position of the body in the pipeline, the various crane methods were developed, including the Gu-style pump and the pneumatic air-assisted penetration. -. Shout ic) and so on. In the _analysis system, the fluid in the three-dimensional 7 is subjected to two driving forces of the Jewish to control the movement of the fluid back and forth. However, no matter what kind of driving method is reported, it is difficult to make the two driving forces completely equal. After the 4 processes between the work and the (four), the fluid will gradually be biased toward the end of the pipe even away from the designed pipe. Therefore, it is often necessary to use the human supervision (4) method to correct the drinking of the fluid before the fluid is discharged. In addition, there are also some records _ she butterflies her (four), such as the United States number 1262254.

[Objective and summary of the invention] Control device and J1 ancient, technical problems 'The present invention provides a gravity compensation type of gymnastics doorway 10 ~ / Department H Takizaki planes outside the road, it is only in the opening of the pipeline Straight to the parallel gravity direction of the straight legion, #^ in the pipeline of 1 day, ~ ... upright 4 (four). The body gradually leans toward the liquid inside the 迢 straight bureaucracy will provide the power to counterbalance, using the self, ,, ', the boundary has both _ force _ fluid to pick up the fluid will not lion __, - she made two ff The compensating fluid control device is composed of a driving force of a driving device and a fluid element, and is provided with an open end of the passage to provide a reciprocating flow to the peak end of the fluid passage, and is provided with a standing passage. One of the fluid passages has a different driving force in the back and forth, and is gradually biased toward the end of the fluid passage 1262254 ^ 'The fluid flowing to the vertical pipe will generate a counterbalance due to gravity. Through such a passive design, the present invention can maintain the fluid in the fluid element without leaving the fluid passage in a simple manner, that is, when the fluid is gradually biased toward one end of the passage due to the different driving forces of the back and forth, The fluid flowing to the upright pipe creates a counterbalancing force due to gravity, causing the fluid biased toward one end to be pressurized while maintaining the proper alignment of the n-body passage. The step of the gravity-compensated fluid control method includes: first providing a fluid element having a fluid passage, and providing a fluid conduit standing in the fluid passage before the open end of the fluid passage; and providing a reciprocating driving force, The fluid is caused to move back and forth in the fluid passage; then, the fluid flows to the fluid conduit standing in the fluid passage to generate gravity, and when the fluid is gradually biased toward the end of the fluid passage due to the reciprocating driving force difference, the gravity becomes The counterforce prevents the fluid from being detached from the fluid element by the open end of the fluid passage. In order to further understand the object, structural features and functions of the present invention, the following detailed description will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings: [Description of Embodiments] The embodiments of the present invention are composed of a driving device and a fluid component, please refer to the drawings. It is a structural diagram of a fluid element according to a first embodiment of the present invention, which is attached to a p〇lymethyl methaerylai:e (pMMA) substrate and engraved with a bend_channel 11, The depth of money is two filaments, and the two ends are slightly dug as a gradient section 12. Joining two identical PMMA substrates, interconnecting the channel rafts into a fluid passage with only π at both ends, and then slightly digging the openings at both ends to serve as a gas 1262254 flow inlet 13 〇 for further steps. Please refer to _, which is the first embodiment of the present invention. The first implementation of the thorn touches the ends of the thin glass tube =! Γ of the two materials and fixes them so as to be parallel to the direction of gravity; and then uses the two-phase connection portion (four) to stop _. And (4) the fluid generated by the fluid is intimidated and connected to the fluid element through the t-line. The invention can make the fluid in the fluid element in the experiment not leave the fluid i road firstly 'starting the pneumatic pump to provide the reciprocating driving force, and adjusting the flow rate to make the fluid move back and forth in the bribe; the fluid is not driven by the driving force The same 'will gradually bias the end of the fluid path; however, when the fluid flows to the open thin tube, gravity will be formed to prevent the fluid from being separated from the fluid element by the open end of the fluid path; after gravity balance, the fluid That is, the back and forth movement of the fluid passage. Furthermore, 'the fluid element of the first embodiment can be immediately vertical so that part of the conduit of the fluid passage is parallel to the direction of gravity, so that it is not necessary to provide a thin glass tube at both ends of the fluid tree, and the fluid S member has a standing fluid. The fluid conduit of the passage, and then the pneumatic pump is connected to the end of the fluid element through the official line to constitute the structure of the second embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Appendix 2A, which is an architectural entity diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention. In order to prove the efficacy of the present invention, a control group was provided to compare the experimental results. The control group placed the fluid components of the second embodiment horizontally, as in the general test state, and the remaining experimental conditions and fluid component structures. The pneumatic pump 1262254 and its driving fluid are all identical. Please refer to the attached side, which is the structural entity diagram of the control group. Firstly, after observing the experimental situation of the second embodiment, after starting the pneumatic pump to provide the reciprocating driving force, the flow needs to be adjusted to cause the fluid to move back and forth in the fluid passage. The fluid will gradually bias due to the different driving forces of the back and forth. At the end of the fluid passage; however, since the fluid passage of the fluid element has a parallel (four) force direction of the fluid conduit, the fluid rises to a certain height in its fluid conduit, and its height is balanced with the difference in driving force. Causing the fluid to continue in the fluid path for a stable back and forth movement and preventing the fluid from being displaced from the open sigma end of the fluid passage. Please refer to Annex 2β, which is the (4) second implementation of the lining experiment, which touches 3G minutes, that is, the silk fluid can continue to flow back and forth in the fluid path for a long time. Then observe the experimental situation of the control group. After the reciprocating driving force is provided, the flow rate is required to make the fluid flow path produce the material; the fluid has different driving forces due to the back and forth, and will gradually bias toward the end of the passage. Finally, the open π end of the fluid path is completely separated from the fluid element. Please refer to the attached detail, which is a solid figure of the control experiment for 3 minutes, which means that the fluid is within 3 minutes due to the shadow of the back and forth force. Out of the fluid path, continuous human monitoring is required throughout the experiment, which is a waste of manpower. Further, the driving device used in the present invention is selected from the group consisting of a pneumatic pump, a mechanical pump, and an electric pump. The fluid path can be composed of a plurality of planar pipes and upright pipes due to their design differences. Moreover, it provides a gravity-balanced fluid piping that stands in front of the open end of the fluid passage in parallel or nearly parallel to the direction of gravity. 1262254 The present invention is not limited to the spirit and scope of the present invention, and may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
