Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to an active valve for a pump.
  • pumps have been devised for pumping fluid, such as (for example) piston pumps, diaphragm pumps, peristaltic pumps, just to name a few. These pumps have different types of actuators and moving parts which act upon fluid in a pumping chamber.
  • the pumping chamber is defined by a pump body which has an inlet port and an outlet port. Communication of fluid through the inlet port and into the chamber, and out of the output port, is usually gated by one or more valves.
  • a pump comprises a pump body; an actuator; and, one or more active valves.
  • the pump body at least partially defines a pumping chamber which has an inlet port and an outlet port.
  • the actuator is situated at least partially in the pumping chamber for acting upon a fluid in the pumping chamber.
  • the active valve selectively opens and closes a port with which it is aligned, e.g., either the inlet port or the outlet port.
  • the active valve comprises a piezoelectric element which responds to voltage for the selective opening and closing of its aligned port.
  • the piezoelectric element is a piezoceramic film.
  • both the inlet valve and the outlet valves are active valves.
  • only one of the valves is an active valve and the other is a passive valve, e.g., the inlet valve is an active valve but the outlet valve is a passive valve (e.g., is influenced by flow of fluid in the pump).
  • active valves operate in accordance with magnetic forces.
  • one or more of the inlet valve and the outlet valve are formed from a flexible material and have electric conductors or wiring embedded or otherwise formed therein in a coil shape to form a magnetic field.
  • the ports which host the magnetically activated active valves have a magnet (e.g., permanent magnet) formed therearound.
  • the direction of electric flow in the conductors in the flexible valve is such that the magnetic field created thereby attracts the magnetic field extant at the port opening to close the valve.
  • the valve When the electric field is not applied, the valve can open (e.g., by fluidic conditions created in the pumping chamber by the diaphragm).
  • the direction of electric flow in the conductors in the flexible valve is such that the magnetic field created thereby repels the magnetic field extant at the port opening to open the valve.
  • the valve can close.
  • the direction of electric current can be switched to selective create attracting and repelling fields for closing and opening of the valve.

  • the conductor 64 in inlet valve 30 ( 9 ) is connected (e.g., to another power supply) such that the electrical current flowing through conductor 64 is in an opposite direction relative to the intake stroke to create an attractive magnetic field for inlet valve 30 ( 9 ), thereby closing inlet port 29 ( 9 ) to preclude fluid from entering the pumping chamber during the intake stroke.
  • the conductor 64 in outlet valve 32 ( 9 ) is connected (e.g., to another power supply) such that the electrical current flowing through conductor 64 is in an opposite direction relative to the intake stroke to create a repulsive magnetic field for outlet valve 32 ( 9 ), thereby opening outlet port 31 ( 9 ) for permitting fluid to leave the pumping chamber during the intake stroke.
  • the magnets at the ports need not necessarily surround the ports, but may merely be positioned proximate thereto.
  • the magnet provided at the port need not necessarily be a permanent magnet, although provision of a permanent magnet simplifies the electronics design.
  • the flexible material comprising the flexible valves can be any suitable material for forming flex circuits, for example, so long as the material is essentially fluid-impervious.
  • FIG. 8A , FIG. 8B and FIG. 9A , FIG. 9B it is also possible essentially to reverse the positioning of the elements in the embodiments of FIG. 8A , FIG. 8B and FIG. 9A , FIG. 9B by providing, for example, a magnetic material in the valve and a electrical coil about the port covered by the valve.
