Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of fluid control, in particular to a fluid transportation system and method, and a fluid using device applying the system and method.
  • the fluid transportation system drives fluid movement by creating and maintaining a pressure gradient (pressure difference) from upstream to downstream in the direction of flow. Therefore, when driving fluid movement, the main design ideas are divided into two types, namely positive pressure driving and negative pressure driving.
  • Positive pressure drive means to maintain a stable maximum pressure source upstream of the flow path, while the downstream fluid has a free surface in contact with the atmosphere, so that the pressure on the entire flow path is higher than the atmospheric pressure.
  • Negative pressure drive refers to maintaining a stable minimum pressure source downstream of the flow path, while the upstream connected fluid has a free surface in contact with the atmosphere, so that the pressure on the entire flow path is lower than the atmospheric pressure.

Description

流体运输系统、方法及应用该系统、方法的流体使用装置 技术领域
本发明涉及流体控制技术领域，尤其涉及一种流体运输系统、方法及应用该系统、方法的流体使用装置。
背景技术
在生物、化学或医疗等领域，常见的仪器是以生物或化学反应的核心原理为基础设计。参与生物或化学反应的物质(如试剂)在物理学上通常为液态或气态，并统称为流体。为了实现仪器所需要进行的生物或化学反应，仪器中通常需要使用一些容器作为样本和流体的反应池，并且仪器中还需要设置可以向反应池中按照要求依次定量运输不同的流体的流体运输系统。
在设计流体运输系统时，需要开发或选择性能合适的流体器部件，设计合理的流动布局和运行逻辑，以满足仪器中的生物或化学反应对运输流体的速度、压力、精度、准确度和流量脉动等多方面的要求。
从原理上说，流体运输系统是通过在流动方向上制造和维持从上游到下游的压力梯度(压力差)驱动流体运动。因此在驱动流体运动时，主要的设计思路分为两种，即正压驱动和负压驱动。正压驱动是指在流动路径的上游维持一个稳定的最高压力源，而下游连通的流体存在一个与大气接触的自由表面，如此整个流动路径上的压力都高于大气压。负压驱动是指在流动路径的下游维持一个稳定的最低压力源，而上游连通的流体存在一个与大气接触的自由表面，如此整个流动路径上的压力都低于大气压。然，无论是正压驱动还是负压驱动，在设计时都会受到多种条件的制约。
当采用负压驱动时，一般是将流体进入的管道放在上游，反应池放在中间，而制造和维持压力梯度的设备放在下游。负压驱动对于运输多种流 体进入反应池的情况有较大优势，流体进入反应池前的管道结构相对简单，易于冲洗干净，降低了进入反应池前不同流体间交叉污染的风险。目前，以实现单次微量和高精度运输为目标的流体运输系统，大都采用这种设计。但负压驱动的缺点在于，负压系统的压力源的极限压力是真空，因此其极限的压力梯度是一个标准大气压，限制了流体运输系统的流量，也就是最大流速。
当采用正压驱动时，一般是将流体进入的管道放在上游，使用压缩气体作用在上游流体的自由表面，反应池放在下游。正压驱动对于需要快速运输流体进入反应池的情况有较大优势，理论上正压驱动的压力源并无压力上限，可以远远超过一个标准大气压，因此流体运输系统的流量可以远超具有同样管道条件的负压驱动。目前，以实现快速运输为目标的流动运输系统，大都采用正压驱动。但正压驱动的缺点在于，虽然可以避免流体交叉污染的问题，但是由于气体的可压缩性大，使驱动流体运动的速度和精度都难以控制。

具体实施方式
以下将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进 行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。
需要说明的是，当组件被称为“固定于”、“安装于”另一个组件，它可以直接在另一个组件上或者也可以存在居中的组件。当一个组件被认为是“设置于”另一个组件，它可以是直接设置在另一个组件上或者可能同时存在居中组件。本文所使用的术语“及/或”包括一个或多个相关的所列项目的所有的和任意的组合。
请参阅图1所示，为本发明实施方式中的流体运输系统的示意图，所述流体运输系统1包括工作模块2、辅助模块3和分配组件4。所述工作模块2是流体运输系统1中驱动流体运输的功能单元，所述工作模块2的数量可以为一个或多个，每个工作模块2包括流体选择组件21、流体中转组件22和动力组件23。所述辅助模块3是流体运输系统1中帮助工作模块2运输流体的所有组件的集合。所述辅助模块3包括存储组件，在本实施方式中，所述辅助模块3包括不同类型的三种存储组件30，分别是流体存储组件31、废料存储组件32和填充液存储组件33。每个工作模块2连接辅助模块3的上述三种存储组件30，而上述三种存储组件30中的每种存储组件30的数量可以为一或多个，在不同实施方式中，每种存储组件30中的每一个既可以被部分工作模块2单独使用，也可以被所有工作模块2共同使用。所述分配组件4是所述流体运输系统1中切换不同的工作模块2向流体使用系统5运输流体的组件，当所述流体运输系统1只有一个工作模块2向流体使用系统5运输流体时，可以不设置分配组件4，而将工作模块2直接连接到流体使用系统5。当所述流体运输系统1具有N个工作模块(N≥2)向流体使用系统5运输流体时，则需设置分配组件4将不同的工作模块2连通到流体使用系统5。
如图1所示，流体使用系统5是指对流体进行使用的系统，通常包括 反应池和相关的辅助器部件和管道，是流体运输系统1运输流体的目的地。进入流体使用系统5的流体在该系统5内进行某种目的的使用后，被作为废料(如废液)排放到流体运输系统1的辅助模块3的废料存储组件32中存储。流体使用系统5不属于流体运输系统1，因此其内部的流体运输和替换方案不在本申请中做过多介绍。
以下对本实施方式中的流体运输系统1的各组件进行详细介绍。
所述动力组件23用于制造和维持流体运输系统1内的压力梯度(压力差)，从而驱动流体在流体运输系统1中运动。在本实施方式中，所述动力组件23具有至少三类流体接口，第一类接口231连接到流体中转组件22，第一类接口231的数量由动力组件23所连接的流体中转组件22的数量决定；第二类接口232连接到填充液存储组件33，第二类接口232的数量由动力组件23所连接的所有填充液存储组件33的路径数量决定；第三类接口233连接到废料存储组件32，第三类接口233的数量由动力组件23所连接的所有废料存储组件32的路径数量决定。在本实施方式中，动力组件23可以向正反两个方向驱动流体运动，其中，正方向是指流体从动力组件23向流体中转组件22流动的方向，反方向是指流体从流体中转组件22向动力组件23流动的方向。当动力组件23驱动流体正向流动时，动力组件23连通流体中转组件22和填充液存储组件33，使填充液存储组件33内存储的填充液可以填补流体运动后留下的空间；当动力组件23驱动流体反向运动时，动力组件23连接到流体中转组件22和废料存储组件32，使多余的流体作为废料流入废料存储组件32。在本实施方式中，动力组件23可以是各种类型的用于驱动流体运动的泵，例如，注射泵、柱塞泵、隔膜泵、齿轮泵及蠕动泵等。
所述流体中转组件22用于存储需要改变运输方向的流体。在本实施方式中，流体中转组件22应该具有至少两个接口，其中一个接口221连接到流体选择组件21，而另一个接口222连接到动力组件23。本实施方式中，流体中转组件22既要支持动力组件23向正反两个方向驱动流体， 又要支持对改变流动方向的流体的临时存储，因此，流体可以从流体中转组件22两个接口221、222中的任意一个接口进入，而从另外一个接口流出。流体中转组件22可以是按需设计的具有特定规格的容器或管道，也可以是注射泵工作所使用的注射器。
所述流体选择组件21用于将连接到流体选择组件22的不同组件相互连通，从而实现对运输流体的路径选择。本实施方式中，每个流体选择组件21具有三类连接到不同组件的接口，第一类接口211连接到流体中转组件22，第一类接口211的数量由所连接的流体中转组件22的数量决定；第二类接口212连接到分配组件4，第二类接口212的数量取决于流体选择组件21需要连接到分配组件4的路径数量，该路径数量通常为1；第三类接口213连接到流体存储组件31中存储流体的容器。每一流体选择组件21的第三类接口213仅能对应一个存储流体的容器，同一个存储流体的容器可以同时连接到同一个流体选择组件21上的不同的第三类接口213，也可以同时连接到不同的流体选择组件21上的第三类接口213。只要流体存储组件31中的一存储流体的容器被连接到了一个流体选择组件21上的一个第三类接口213，则在需要使用该容器内的流体时，即可建立连通流体使用系统5的路径运输该容器内的流体至流体使用系统5。流体选择组件21在工作时可以根据需要将一个第一类接口211和一个第三类接口213进行连通，或者将一个第一类接口211和一个第二类接口212进行连通。在本实施方式中，流体选择组件21可以是各种类型的电磁阀、选择阀(如旋转阀)、或者由多个电磁阀及/或选择阀按需组成的集合，或者是注射泵配置的用于切换不同接口的电磁阀或选择阀阀头。
所述分配组件4用于将连接到分配组件4的不同组件相互连通，从而实现对流体运输系统1内运输流体的路径选择。在本实施方式中，分配组件4按照需要将不同的工作模块2与流体使用系统5分别进行连通，因此，分配组件4具有两类连接到不同组件的接口，第一类接口411连接到流体选择组件21，第一类接口411的数量由所有连接到分配组件4的流体选择 组件21的路径数量决定；第二类接口412连接到流体使用系统5，第二类接口412的数量取决于该流体使用系统5需要连接到分配组件4的路径数量。分配组件4在工作时可以根据需要将一个第一类接口411和一个第二类接口412进行连通。在本实施方式中，分配组件4可以是各种类型的电磁阀、选择阀、或者是由多个电磁阀及/或选择阀按需组成的集合。
所述流体存储组件31用于存储需要运输到流体使用系统5的流体。所述流体存储组件31的数量可以为一个或多个，每个流体存储组件31存储按照流体使用系统5的需求需要运输的部分或全部流体，所有的流体存储组件31存储按照流体使用系统5的使用需求需要运输至流体使用系统5的全部流体。每个流体存储组件31可以包含一或多个存储流体的容器，每个存储流体的容器存储一种流体，并且所述容器可以由至少一个管道连接到至少一个流体选择组件21。流体存储组件31可以包括不同尺寸和材质的容器，并且，根据需要，还可以包括用于抽取流体的流体针和管道、控制流体针升降的机构、以及用于满足存储条件的温度控制部件等关联部件。
所述填充液存储组件33用于存储填充液。在本实施方式中，填充液存储组件33的数量可以是一个或多个，每个填充液存储组件33可以向一个或更多的动力组件23供给需要用到的填充液，每个动力组件23需要至少一个填充液存储组件33提供填充液。每个动力组件23可以使用一种或多种填充液。每个填充液存储组件33可以包括一个或多个存储填充液的容器，每个存储填充液的容器存储一种填充液，并且该容器可以由至少一个管道连接到至少一个动力组件23。填充液是正压流体系统需要的特殊流体，由于正压流体推动流体运动的需要，当工作模块2通过分配组件4向流体使用系统5推送流体时，需要填充液进入流体运输系统1，填补流体运输后留下的空间，使工作模块2的流体系统保持充满流体的状态，从而维持压力梯度。填充液不能与工作模块2运输的流体发生化学反应。在本实施方式中，填充液存储组件33可以包括不同尺寸和材质的容器，并且， 根据需要，还可包括用于抽取填充液的流体针和管道、控制流体针升降的机构、以及用于满足存储条件的温度控制部件等关联部件。
所述废料存储组件32用于存储流体运输系统1及/或流体使用系统5排出的废料。在本实施方式中，废料存储组件32可以是一个或多个，每个废料存储组件32可以存储一个或更多的动力组件23排出的废料、及/或流体使用系统5排出的废料。每个废料存储组件32包括一或多个存储废料的容器，每个存储废料的容器可以由至少一个管道连接到流体使用系统5或动力组件23。在本实施方式中，废料存储组件32可以包括不同尺寸和材质的容器，并且，根据需要，还可包括用于检测液位的传感器、用于过滤异味的滤膜、以及用于转移该容器的推车等关联部件。
以上是对流体运输系统1的功能模块和组件的详细描述和介绍。以下介绍流体运输系统1的工作逻辑。
在流体运输系统1中，每个工作模块2均是使用相同的方式运输流体，通过辅助模块3的配合，使某种流体从流体存储组件31运输到某个流体使用系统5。由于流体运输系统1中的工作模块2的数量可以为一个或多个，因此，当采用不同数量的工作模块2进行流体运输时，流体运输系统1的工作逻辑就是由不同数量的工作模块2进行协同工作的逻辑，需要根据工作模块2的不同数量进行分别讨论。
如图1所示，每一工作模块运输流体的具体过程可以被分解为两个步骤，即步骤1和步骤2，在图1中分别使用带有箭头的连接线表示。
步骤1用带有箭头的点虚线表示，代表了通过负压驱动的方式将流体从流体存储组件31运输到流体中转组件22中的过程。在执行步骤1时，首先使用该工作模块2的流体选择组件21，将需要使用的流体与该工作模块2的流体中转组件22连通起来，同时该工作模块2的动力组件23连通废料存储组件32，形成一个从流体存储组件31开始，依次经过流体选择组件21、流体中转组件22、动力组件23和废料存储组件32的通路。之后动力组件23启动，在该通路中制造压力梯度，使流体从流体存储组件 31中流出，经过流体选择组件21进入流体中转组件22。在流体沿着上述通路运输的同时，上述通路中被排出的流体通过动力组件23作为废料排入废料存储组件32中存储。
步骤2用带有箭头的实线表示，代表了通过正压驱动的方式将流体从流体中转组件22运输到流体使用系统5中的过程。在执行步骤2时，首先使用分配组件4将需要运输流体的工作模块2的流体选择组件21与流体使用系统5连通起来，同时使该工作模块2的动力组件23连通填充液存储组件33，形成一个从填充液存储组件33开始，依次经过动力组件23、流体中转组件22、流体选择组件21、分配组件4和流体使用系统5的通路。之后动力组件23在该通路中制造压力梯度，使流体从流体中转组件22中流出，依次经过流体选择组件21和分配组件4进入流体使用系统5。在流体沿着上述通路运输的同时，存储在填充液存储组件33中的填充液通过动力组件23进入流体中转组件22，填补上述通路中流体排出留下的空间。
需要强调的是，任一单个工作模块2在每次运输流体时都必须依次执行步骤1和步骤2。如果流体运输系统1中只有一个工作模块2运输流体，则该工作模块2每次运输流体都需要依次执行步骤1和步骤2。如果流体运输系统1中有多个工作模块2同时运输流体，则必须考虑它们之间相互制约的关系，主要需要考虑以下两点。
第一点，当每个工作模块2执行步骤1时，只需要调用该工作模块内的组件进行工作，因此，不会受其它工作模块2的影响和制约，无论其它的工作模块2在执行步骤1还是步骤2。
第二点，当任一工作模块2执行步骤2时，不仅需要调用该工作模块2内的组件，还需要与其它工作模块2共用一个从分配组件4到流体使用系统5的通路，因此，每次只能有一个工作模块2执行步骤2，其它需要执行步骤1的工作模块2可以继续执行，而其它需要执行步骤2的工作模块2则必须等待。
根据上述的工作模块2的工作逻辑，本实施方式中流体运输系统1的工作逻辑可以根据工作模块2数量的不同进行优化，使总的工作时间减少，具体情况分析如下。
如果流体运输系统1中只有一个工作模块2，则流体运输系统1的工作逻辑就是上述的单个工作模块2的工作方式，即每次运输流体时先执行步骤1、再执行步骤2。执行依次运输流体A和流体B的总时间如图2所示，其中，TA1为运输流体A时执行步骤1的时间，TA2为运输流体A执行步骤2的时间，TB1为运输流体B执行步骤1的时间，TB2为运输流体B执行步骤2的时间。因此，总的执行时间t为：
t＝TA1+TA2+TB1+TB2。
如果流体运输系统1中只有两个工作模块2，则流体运输系统1的工作逻辑就获得了一定的灵活性，只需要考虑以下两种情况。
a)：采用同一工作模块2即第一工作模块2a或第二工作模块2a’依次运输流体A和流体B；
b)：采用不同工作模块2即第一工作模块2a与第二工作模块2a’依次运输流体A和流体B；
对于情况a)，采用第一工作模块2a依次运输流体A和流体B，此时，第二工作模块2b在此过程中可以等待或执行后续流体的步骤1。执行依次运输流体A和流体B的总时间如图3所示，TA1为运输流体A执行步骤1的时间，TA2为运输流体A执行步骤2的时间，TB1为运输流体B执行步骤1的时间，TB2为运输流体B执行步骤2的时间。因此，总的执行时间t为：
t＝TA1+TA2+TB1+TB2。
对于情况b)，第一工作模块2a与第二工作模块2a’依次运输流体A和流体B，此时运输流体A和流体B的步骤1可以由第一工作模块2a和第二工作模块2a’分别同时开始执行。
当执行运输流体A的步骤1和步骤2的总时间大于运输流体B的步骤 1时，执行依次运输流体A和流体B的总时间如图4A与图4B所示，TA1为运输流体A执行步骤1的时间，TA2为运输流体A执行步骤2的时间，TB1为运输流体B执行步骤1的时间，TB2为运输流体B执行步骤2的时间。因此，只要满足TA1+TA2>TB1，无论TA1>TB1，还是TA1<TB1，总的执行时间t为：
t＝TA1+TA2+TB2。
当执行运输流体A的步骤1和步骤2的总时间小于运输流体B的步骤1时，执行运输流体A和流体B的总时间如图5所示，TA1为运输流体A执行步骤1的时间，TA2为运输流体A执行步骤2的时间，TB1为运输流体B执行步骤1的时间，TB2为运输流体B执行步骤2的时间。因此，只要满足TA1+TA2<TB1时，总的执行时间t为：
t＝TB1+TB2。
需要说明的是，本发明中的每个工作模块的设置和功能都相同，因此工作模块2a与工作模块2a’仅代表两个工作模块在执行运输不同流体时的区分，而不代表它们之间有设置或功能上的区别。
从图2到图5展示了随着工作模块2的数量的增加，执行依次运输流体A和流体B的总时间随着工作逻辑的优化而减少的过程。随着流体运输系统1的工作模块2的数量增加，并且当每个工作模块2可以运输的流体种类增加时，由不同工作模块2分别执行的依次运输多种流体的总时间总是少于由单个工作模块2执行的依次运输上述流体的总时间，并且较优的方式是每次都由不同的工作模块2执行运输不同种类的流体。
如果流体运输系统1有多于两个工作模块2，并且每个工作模块2可以运输的流体种类越多，执行多于2种流体连续运输时获得的灵活性就越大，总执行时间就越短，理论上的依次运输多种流体的总时间将无限接近于每种流体只执行步骤2的时间的总和。然实际使用时，不仅要考虑灵活性问题，还要考虑例如交叉污染、流体用量等多种因素，这些因素都会影响到流体运输系统1的工作模块2的数量的设置，或是每个工作模块2连 接不同种类流体的取舍，而不同的设计需求带来的限制和不同的运输流体的顺序要求将使流体运输系统1产生不同的最优工作时间。
因此，流体运输系统1的工作逻辑可以归纳如下：
如果流体运输系统1中只有一个工作模块2，则流体运输系统1的工作逻辑就是上述的单个工作模块2的工作方式，即每次运输流体时先执行步骤1，再执行步骤2；
如果本系统中有两个或两个以上的工作模块2时，只需要遵循以下原则，就可以灵活编排运输多种流体时的工作逻辑，使总的执行时间最短：
优先使用不同的工作模块2运输不同种类的流体；
每个工作模块2在执行运输每种流体的步骤2之前，尽量保证已经执行完成运输该流体的步骤1；
每个工作模块2在执行完成运输每种流体的步骤2之后，立即开始执行运输下一个流体的步骤1。
相比现有技术，本实施方式的流体运输系统1具有以下的优点：
1、工作模块2同时利用负压和正压驱动流体进行运输。工作模块2的运输流体过程可以分解为步骤1和步骤2，其中，步骤1为负压驱动，将流体从流体存储组件31运输到流体中转组件22，步骤1可以保证将流体从流体存储组件31中取出时的定量精度；步骤2为正压驱动，将流体从流体中转组件22运输到流体使用系统5，步骤2可以实现在相同的管道条件下比负压驱动更加快速的运输流体，使流体运输系统1具有相比使用单纯使用负压运输流体的流体运输系统具有速度优势。
2、引入填充液辅助工作模块2进行正压运输流体。填充液在工作模块2执行步骤2时使用，在正压运输流体的同时用来填充管道空间。由于填充液是液态，可压缩性可以忽略，因此，流体运输系统1的工作模块2相比使用压缩气体进行正压运输流体的流体运输系统，运输流体的定量精确度更高。此外，填充液可以选用较为安全和成本较低的流体、清洗液或者纯水，还可以起到运输流体后冲洗管道的作用，避免前后两种流体的交 叉污染。
3、设置多个工作模块2可以进一步缩短运输流体的总时间。多个工作模块2可以使运输流体的工作逻辑从串行逻辑变成并行逻辑，使多个工作模块2同时工作成为可能，从而对运输流体的总时间进行优化。例如，可以在一个工作模块2执行步骤2时，让另一个工作模块2执行步骤1，使另一个工作模块2执行步骤1的时间在总时间中省去，从而使流体运输系统1工作的总时间更短。
4、设置多个工作模块2还可以将流体分组，最大限度的避免流体交叉污染。当流体运输系统2中存在多个工作模块2时，不同的工作模块2可以灵活设置所支持运输的流体种类，从而可以实现对多种不同的流体进行分组，使每组流体之间只共用从分配组件4到流体使用系统5之间的管道，使流体交叉污染的概率降至最低。
以下以具体实施例进一步说明流体运输系统1。

请参阅图13所示，本发明实施方式四还提供一种流体运输方法，所述方法的某些步骤的执行顺序可以改变，某些步骤可以并列执行。所述流体运输方法包括步骤：
步骤S131，从流体存储组件中吸取第一种流体，花费时间TA1；

其中，所述第一种流体与第二种流体可以是同一种流体或不同种流体，所述动力组件吸取的所述第一种流体的量与第二种流体的量相同或不同。
综上所述，本发明实施方式提供的流体运输系统与方法，采用负压驱动方式吸取流体及采用正压方式将吸取的流体输入流体使用系统中，即可保证将流体从流体存储组件中取出时的定量精度，又可保证更加快速地运输流体至流体使用系统。
综上所述，本发明实施方式提供的流体运输系统与方法，可同时采用至少两个工作模块：第一工作模块与第二工作模块，第一工作模块与第二工作模块将至少两种流体从一流体存储组件中提出并输入一流体使用系统，所述两个工作模块将从两种流体从流体存储组件中提出并输入流体使用系统的总时间为T，第一工作模块将一种流体从流体存储组件中提出并输入流体使用系统所需时间为TA，第二工作模块将另一种流体从流体存储组件中提出并输入流体使用系统所需时间为TB，所述T小于TA与TB的加总，从而使流体运输的总时间更短。另，设置多个工作模块将流体分组运输，最大限度避免了流体交叉污染。采用填充液填充正压运输时留下的管道空间，相比使用压缩气体，运输流体的定量精确度更高。
以上实施方式与实施例均涉及一个或多个工作模块通过一个分配组件向一个流体使用系统运输流体的情况，其中工作模块与分配组件之间是多对一的映射关系，分配组件与流体使用系统之间是一对一的映射关系。然在其他实施方式中，对应M(M>1)个流体使用系统，L个分配组件(L>1)与N个工作模块(N>1)的复杂情况，还可以有更复杂的映射关系，例如，多个工作模块可以对应一个分配组件、一个分配组件再对应多个流体使用系统；多个工作模块可以对应多个分配组件，多个分配组件再对应一个流 体使用系统。无论如何，当多个工作模块对应一个分配组件或者对应一个流体使用系统时，由于该多个工作模块运输的流体需顺序运输至流体使用系统，因此，工作模块执行步骤2：将流体输入流体使用系统需顺序执行，然，每一工作模块执行步骤1：将流体吸入流体中转组件，可以与其他一或多个工作模块的步骤1及/或步骤2同时进行，从而节省多个工作模块运输流体至流体使用系统的整体时间。
请参阅图14与图15所示，本发明实施方式五与实施方式六还提供使用流体运输系统或者流体运输方法的流体使用装置6、7，所述流体使用装置6采用了至少一个流体运输系统61运输流体，所述流体运输系统61可以是本发明以上实施方式与实施例所提供的流体运输系统、或在不脱离本发明精神与范围情况下的扩展系统，所述流体使用装置7采用了至少一种流体运输方法71运输流体，所述流体运输方法71可以是本发明上述实施方式所提供的流体运输方法、或在不脱离本发明精神与范围情况下的扩展方法，所述流体使用装置6与7可以是各种使用流体的装置或仪器，例如基因测序仪、液相色谱仪、生化分析仪和医疗器械等。
