Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a mixer, and more particularly to a micro-mixer having a micro pump suitable for Mix the multidental liquid or gas evenly. [Prior Art] In recent years, with the vigorous development of micro-electromechanical technology, many research fields have explored its characteristics = trend toward micrometer and nanoscale scales. Among them, MEMS technology is widely used in such fields as machinery, aerospace, chemical, materials, biomedicine, electronic motors and optoelectronics. For example, in biomedical applications, such as the detection of samples, genetic engineering, drug development, etc., biomedical wafers produced by MEMS technology that can provide a large amount of information and can be quickly tested have been particularly valued. . , and the biomedical technology wafers produced by MEMS can integrate components such as microchannels, sputum detectors and biopsy on a single wafer, and (4) combine sampling, transport, _selection, separation and mixing. System inspection:: wide: way. Therefore, this biomedical wafer can not only make the inspection point 'can also be quickly reacted with copper, _ inspection time is better::: the geometry of the input is made by the force of the heart... it mainly uses the outside of the flow channel in the wafer, The degree of disturbance in the doctor's order = the purpose of mixing. The combination of the body and the receptor 2 uses an active mixing mechanism to achieve these tests. The main purpose is to add a movable component of 1286084 17813twf.doc/006 to the biomedical wafer to achieve the effect of mixing by external force. As mentioned above, the above-mentioned passive or active biomedical wafers usually require an external micro-pump to cause the samples and receptors in the biomedical wafer to be driven by the micro-pull. However, the design of this external micro-pump biomedical wafer is not conducive to practical applications. In addition, in order to increase the mixing efficiency of these samples and receptors in biomedical wafers, the geometry within the biomedical wafers tends to be quite complex. In this way, the flow channel design will not only increase the difficulty of making biomedical wafers, but also increase the pressure loss of these specimens and receptors flowing in the biomedical wafer.

Referring to Fig. 2a in detail, the flow 2B in the micromixer 100 is physically described. For the flow mechanism of the spleen flute in the following cable, the present embodiment is defined as a block having a trapezoidal cross-sectional area. Brother:: The two sides of the slanted edge of the block 280 and the mixed flow channel 23 渐 are the cascading block, the center line of the block 27G and the inner wall of the mixed flow channel 23 () are substantially flat < _ second contraction The angle between the oblique side of the block 27G and the transport flow path 25() = the narrowest flow path width formed by the taper block 280 and the transport flow path 250 is 5〇μηι, and the second tapered block 28〇 The centerline is substantially parallel to the inner wall of the transport stream. When the vibrating member 300 is bent downward, the vibrating chamber 230 is also driven by the vibrating element 300 so that the volume of the vibrating chamber 23 is gradually increased. At this time, the fluid in the micromixer 1〇〇 flows from the first chamber 21〇 and the second chamber 240 to the vibrating chamber 220, wherein the fluid flowing through the first tapered block 27 receives a first resistance. The fluid flowing through the second tapered block 280 will have a second resistance to the party. It is noted that as the fluid flows through the first tapered block 270, the spacing between the first tapered block 270 and the inner wall of the mixing channel 23 is progressively larger and due to fluid flow through the second taper. At block 2870, the spacing between the second tapered block 280 and the inner wall of the transport channel 250 is progressively smaller, so the first flow resistance will be less than the second flow resistance. Therefore, 13 1286084 17813twf.doc/006 the suffocation of the fluid flowing from the first chamber 210 to the vibrating chamber 22 and the fluid flowing from the second chamber 240 to the vibrating chamber 22 3A is not painted. It is the intention of the volume expansion of the vibration chamber of Fig. 1A. Fig. 3B is a schematic view showing the direction in which the surface does not flow when the volume of the vibrating chamber of Fig. 1A is expanded. Referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B together, when the body member 300 is displaced upward, the vibration chamber 23 is also driven by the vibration element to gradually reduce the volume of the vibration chamber 230. The fluid within 1 § 100 of this = will flow from the vibrating chamber 220 to the first chamber and the second chamber 240, wherein the flow through the first constricting block 270 to a second resistance flows through The fluid of the two tapered blocks will be subject to two or two resistances. It is to be noted that since the fluid flows through the first tapered block 27 〇 = the distance between the first first tapered block 270 and the inner wall of the mixed flow path 2 3 is small, and since the fluid flows through the second gradual When the block is 28 〇, the distance between the second block 280 and the inner wall of the transport channel 25 逐渐 is gradually changed, so the third flow resistance is greater than the fourth flow resistance. Therefore, the flow rate of the fluid from the vibrating chamber 22A to the first chambers 21 will be smaller than the flow rate of the fluid flowing from the vibrating chamber 220 to the second chamber 24. 2. In other words, when the vibrating element 300 receives the electronic signal to generate a superimposed vibration 'to cause the volume of the vibrating chamber 220 to periodically expand, when contracting, the entire fluid in the micro-mixer 1 Flow is from these first chambers 210 to the second chamber 250. Figure 4A shows the flow field of the fluid in the mixing channel. Figure 4B depicts the flow field of the fluid between the bumps and the bumps. Referring collectively to Figures 4A and 4B', when two different fluids are moved by the vibrating element 3, the different fluids will flow through the mixing channel 230 and begin mixing. Due to the influence of these bumps 260 on the flow field in the mixing channel 230, these fluids may be staggered in the mixing channel 230. Thus, the present embodiment can be used to increase the forced convection and contact area between fluids by disturbance, such as shown in Fig. 4A. In addition, a reflow zone is also created between the bumps 260 to allow the fluids to enhance the mixing effect between the bumps 260 by the reflow effect after contact. In summary, the micromixer of the present invention has at least the following advantages: (1) Since the mixed flow channel of the present invention is provided with a plurality of staggered bumps, the present invention can uniformly mix two in a very short length. The above different fluids make the mixing more rapid. (2) The present invention utilizes a vibrating element to vary the volume of the vibrating chamber to promote fluid within the mixed population, so that the present invention does not require connection to additional fluid ages, such as immersion. In addition, the present invention can also be equipped with a portable power source to make the present invention more convenient to carry. Furthermore, the invention can be combined with different sensors to give the present invention an immediate verification effect. The invention has the advantages of low production, (3) the structure of the invention is simple, and the present invention is advantageous. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the preferred embodiments: the invention of the present invention is not subject to the artisan, and can be used as a change in the present invention.
