Definitions
- the invention relates to a coupling for microcomponents such as micromixers, micropumps, microvalves and the like. Similar, consisting of several, essentially plane-parallel plates, with line connections for supplying the components to be conveyed or mixed and for discharging the fluid.
- the invention is concerned with a coupling element for microcomponents which contain several superimposed plane-parallel plates in their superimposed surfaces, the structures required for the required mixer geometry function. Because of the good thermal conductivity and the
- these plates usually consist of silicon (so-called silicon wafers), which contain a geometry that is adapted to the function of the microcomponent.
- silicon wafers which contain a geometry that is adapted to the function of the microcomponent.
- the object of the invention is therefore to design a coupling for microcomponents of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the line connections can be reliably attached to the plates and an inadmissible stress on the plates is thereby prevented.
- the plates have congruent openings, that a connection block provided with the line connections has several, through the openings and a pressure plate projecting fastening webs, which are connected to a fastening device on the back of the pressure plate, and that the connection block in of its contact surface facing the plates has line openings, each of which is opposite a line hole of the top plate.
- connection block prevents forces which would lead to impermissible stresses from being transmitted to the plates through these line connections. All pipe connections are connected to the plates via the connection block and the opposite pressure plate in such a way that bending stresses are largely avoided.
- Fastening bars also provide precise alignment with the
- the line bores are preferably in the plate surface between the openings. This is both a compact design and uniform support in the area of Line connections occurring pressure forces reached through the mounting webs that protrude through the openings.
- each line mouth of the connection block is surrounded by an elastic sealing ring. A tight connection of the respective line is thus achieved.
- each line connection has a threaded bore leading to the line mouth and the sealing ring lies between the surface of the plate and an end face of a connection connection part screwed into the threaded bore.
- the elastic sealing ring When screwing in the connection connection part, the elastic sealing ring is pressed against the plate surface. This creates a tight connection. Only pressure forces that do not pose a danger act on the plate surface.
- the inserted elastic sealing ring also serves as a sealing and spring element, which enables a controlled tightening of the connection connection part.
- Fig. 2 is a bottom view in the direction of arrow II in Fig. 1 and
- FIG. 3 shows a section along the line III-III in FIG. 1.
- the microcomponent shown has several superposed, essentially plane-parallel plates 1, only one of which is shown in the drawing. These are so-called silicon wafers with an etched geometry (not shown).
- Line bores 2 emerge from the surface of the plate 1, to which lines 3 are connected via line connections 4, which lead to line outlets 4a.
- line connections 4a In the plates 1 lying one on top of the other, congruent openings 5 are left between which the line bores 2 lie. The position of the line bores 2 is precisely defined in relation to the openings 5.
- An essentially cuboid connection block 6 contains threaded bores 7, into each of which a commercially available micro screw connection 8 of each line connection 4 is screwed.
- a common fastening device which holds the components described in this position, consists in the illustrated embodiment of a clamping clip 12 which is inserted through transverse bores 13 of all fastening webs 10.
- An elastic sealing ring 15 for example an O-ring, is inserted in each connection part of the micro screw connection 8 and the plate surface of the plate 1.
- Sealing ring also serves as a spring element that enables a controlled tightening of the connection.
