The second member 120 has a recess 125 in its surface, and the cylindrical member is disposed in the recess 125. The micro-columnar structure composed of the columnar elements can be made by a thick film material (such as the aforementioned SU8 and pDMs) which is commonly used in the microelectromechanical process, and is also formed by steps such as exposure development. _ § After the first part 11 〇 is in close contact with the second part 12 ,, the venting opening is formed at the groove (125) of the second part 12 。.

-I3im :TW3329PA 造出許多微型矽柱體以改變此平面之表面粗糙度,並提出 一粗糙因子0之定義:粗糙因子0係矽柱體之表面積(與 液滴接觸之面積)與平面總面積之比。作者更提出另一粗 糙:因子7",其更進一步地考量到石夕柱體之面積與高度。當 平面之表面粗糙度改變後,液滴與平面之接觸角與毛細作 用力將隨之改變,致使液滴於平面上之可動性改變。 於前述論證之支持下,本實施例一之氣泡式微幫浦1 之第二部件120之結構設計之一即如第2B圖所示。第二 部件120之表面上具有第一群柱狀元件G1與第二群柱狀 元件G2,分別對應於第一部件110之第一區域I與第二區 域II設置。第一群柱狀元件G1包括多個截面積相同之第 一柱體127,第二群柱狀元件G2則包括多個截面積相同 之第二柱體129。其中,前述之第一粗糙因子01係由第一 群柱狀元件G1於第一區域I中所佔面積之比例所決定, 而第二粗糙因子0 2則是由第二群柱狀元件G2於第二區域 II中所佔面積之比例所決定。由於二個粗糙因子之差異, 根據前述Ashutosh Shastry所提出之論述,二個區域之液 面接觸角不同而影響液滴之毛細作用力。進而當液體中之 氣泡散失時,液體回填之速度有所差異。 於實際運用時,粗糙因子4較佳是逐次遞減或逐次遞 增,使粗糙因子0呈現一粗糙梯度之設計。也就是說,本 實施例之第一粗糙因子4 第二粗糙因子可以是逐次 遞減或逐次遞增。較佳的作法是,於第二部件120上所設 置之柱狀元件依照其對應於第一部件110之流道115上的 13-I3im: TW3329PA creates many miniature cylinders to change the surface roughness of this plane, and proposes a definition of roughness factor 0: roughness factor 0 is the surface area of the cylinder (the area in contact with the droplet) and the total area of the plane Ratio. The author also proposed another rough: factor 7", which further considers the area and height of the Shixi column. When the surface roughness of the plane changes, the contact angle and capillary force of the droplet with the plane will change, causing the movability of the droplet on the plane to change. With the support of the foregoing argument, one of the structural designs of the second component 120 of the bubble micro-pump 1 of the first embodiment is as shown in FIG. 2B. The second member 120 has a first group of columnar elements G1 and a second group of columnar elements G2 on the surface, corresponding to the first area I and the second area II of the first part 110, respectively. The first group of columnar elements G1 includes a plurality of first columns 127 having the same cross-sectional area, and the second group of column elements G2 includes a plurality of second columns 129 having the same cross-sectional area. Wherein, the first roughness factor 01 is determined by the ratio of the area occupied by the first group of columnar elements G1 in the first region I, and the second roughness factor 0 2 is determined by the second group of columnar elements G2. The proportion of the area occupied in the second area II is determined. Due to the difference between the two roughness factors, according to the aforementioned discussion by Ashutosh Shastry, the liquid contact angles of the two regions are different to affect the capillary force of the droplets. Further, when the bubbles in the liquid are lost, the speed of liquid backfilling differs. In practical use, the roughness factor 4 is preferably successively decreasing or successively increasing, so that the roughness factor 0 exhibits a rough gradient design.

In order to match the vertical design of the first main channel 210 and the second main channel 220, as shown in FIG. 10, the columnar elements 270 on the surface of the upper member are progressive from top to bottom and from left to right. The rough gradient design, i.e., having a large cross-section with a small cross-section, is a symmetrical 45-degree angular setting. In this way, the roughness gradient in both directions can be made, so that the liquid reflux velocity on the left and upper sides is greater than the reflux velocity on the right and below. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of tunable films 280 are arranged in an array, and when the roughness is to be changed, only the film in a specific region needs to be driven, and the driving thereof is matched in the first embodiment.

As shown in Fig. 11, the particle sorting device 300 includes a main flow path 310, a driving portion 320, a shunt portion 330, a detecting unit 340, and a control unit 350. The drive unit 320 is disposed in front of the main flow path 310. The flow dividing portion 330 includes a first branch flow path 331 and a second branch flow path 335 which are connected to the subsequent stage of the main flow path 310. A bubble micro-pump 335 as in the first embodiment is disposed on the first branch flow path 331, and a bubble micro-pump 337 is disposed on the second branch flow path 335. The detecting unit 340 is disposed on the main flow path 310 and located between the driving unit 320 and the flow dividing unit 330. The control unit 350 electrically connects the drive unit 320 and the bubble micro-piles 333 and 337 of the shunt unit 330 and the detecting unit 340. When the driving part 320 is actuated to push the liquid movement of the one of the main flow channels 310 with the particles P1, and the particles P1 flow through the detecting unit 340 to complete the identification of the particles P1, the detecting unit 340 transmits a signal to the control unit 350 to drive the shunt. The bubble micro-flux 333 or 337 of the portion 330 operates to thereby cause the particles P1 | to flow into the first branch flow path 331 or the second branch flow path 335 with the liquid. After the particles P1 are carried into the main flow path 310 by the liquid, the length of the main flow path 310 is set, and the driving portion 320 on the main flow path 310 may include at least one bubble micro-pump to provide a thrust sufficient to drive the liquid flow. When the particles P1 continue to move along the main channel 310 (moving to the right) and enter the range sensed by the detecting unit 340, the detecting unit 340 detects the specific properties (e.g., electrical, volume, etc.) of the particles P1. The detecting unit 340 is, for example, a photo sensor or an inductive detector, which is electrically connected to the control unit 350. 21 1310021

When the detecting unit 340 completes the identification of the particle P1, it transmits a signal to the control unit 350 to determine whether to start the sorting mechanism. When the sorting mechanism is started, the bubble type micro-flux 333 or 337 of the branching portion 330 starts to operate to cyclically generate electrolytic bubbles, so that the liquid on the first branch flow path 331 or the second branch flow path 335 starts to flow. It is assumed that the particles P1 of this embodiment are detected and enter the second branch flow path 335. Since the fluid driving force can be generated on the main flow channel 310 and the first branch flow path 331, when the bubble micro-pump 335 on the first branch flow path 331 drives the fluid to flow in the direction of the arrow, the particles &gt; P1 will be moved to the lower right. The net thrust causes the particles P1 to enter the second branch channel 335 to complete the sorting action. As for the driving design of the particle entering classification mechanism, please refer to Fig. 12, which is a second schematic view of the particle sorting apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 12, the driving portion 320 of the particle sorting device 300 includes two bubble micro-pulls 321, 323 which are preferably symmetrically disposed on the lower two sides of the main flow path 310. When the two bubble type micro-drives &gt; 321 and 323 of the driving unit 320 start to drive the liquid flow, an oblique driving force is generated for the particles P2. Preferably, the driving forces F1, F2 are of similar magnitude such that the two oblique driving forces F1, F2 form a total force Ft similar to the hydraulic focus, causing the particles P2 to advance sequentially. After the detection unit 340 completes the identification of the particle P2, the bubble micro-pump 333 or the bubble micro-pump 337 as shown in FIG. 11 is activated to guide the particle P2 into the first branch channel 331 or the second branch channel 335.
