Definitions
- the present invention relates to fluid pumps.
- displacement pumps for the transport of liquids and gases, which consist of a periodic displacer, a piston or a membrane, and two passive check valves. Due to the periodic movement of the piston or the membrane, liquid is sucked through the inlet valve into a pumping chamber or displaced out of the pumping chamber through the outlet valve.
- the transport direction is predetermined by the arrangement of the valves. If the pumping device is to be reversed in such an arrangement, an external reversal of the valves associated with such known pumps is necessary with a high outlay.
- Such pumps are for example from Jarolav and Monika Ivantysyn; Hydrostatic pumps and motors; Vogel Buchverlag, Würzburg, 1993.
- micro pumps Corresponding pumps that are small in size and deliver low pump currents are referred to as micro pumps.
- the displacers of such pumps are typically designed as a membrane, see P. Gravesen, J. Branebjerg, OS Jensen; Microfluidics - A review; Micro Mechanics Europe Neuchatel, 1993, pages 143 - 164.
- the displacers can be driven by different mechanisms.
- HTG Van Lintel, F.CM. Van de Pol. S. Bouwstra A Piezoelectric Micropump Based on Micromachining of Silicon, Sensors & Actuators, 15, pages 153-167, 1988, S. Shoji, S. Nakagawa and M.
- either passive check valves or special flow nozzles can be used as valves.
- the direction of delivery of micropumps can be reversed without a forced control of the valves simply by a control with a frequency above the resonance frequency of the valves.
- the cause of this effect is a phase shift between the movement of the displacer and the open state of the valves. If the phase difference is greater than 90 °, the opening state of the valves is countercyclical to their state in the normal forward mode and the pump direction is reversed. An external changeover of the valves, as is necessary with macroscopic pumps, is not necessary.
- the decisive phase difference between the displacer and the valves depends on the one hand on the drive frequency of the pump and on the other hand on the resonance frequency of the movable valve part in the Liquid environment.
- a disadvantage of this embodiment is that when designing the valves, there is a compromise between their mechanical resonance in the liquid environment, their flow resistance, their fluidic capacity, i.e. the elastic volume deformation, its size and its mechanical stability must be found. These parameters, all of which have an impact on the pump dynamics, cannot therefore be set to an optimum independently of one another and partly conflict with a desired, further miniaturization of the pump dimensions.
- Another general disadvantage when using pumps with passive check valves is the fact that the pumps do not block the medium to be pumped when switched off. If the inlet pressure exceeds the outlet pressure by the preload of the valves, the medium to be pumped flows through the pump.
- Micropumps that use special flow nozzles have the disadvantage that they have a very low maximum pumping efficiency in the range of 10-20%.
- micropump provided with check valves is disclosed in EP 0 568 902 A2.
- This micropump is operated by the reciprocal movement of a membrane.
- the movement of the membrane changes the volume of a pumping chamber which is formed by the membrane and a support member.
- the outlet and inlet of the micropump are provided with an outlet valve and an inlet valve, respectively.
- the present invention is based on the object of creating efficient fluid pumps with a simple structure and which have no non-return valves.
- the present invention provides a fluid pump with a pump body, a displacer, which can be positioned in a first and a second end position by means of a drive, the displacer and the pump body being designed in such a way that a pump chamber, which has a first and a second opening, which have no check valves, can be fluidly connected to an inlet and an outlet, and an elastic buffer, which adjoins the pump chamber.
- the displacer closes the first opening when it is in the first end position and leaves the first opening open when it is in the second end position.
- the fluid pump according to the present invention no check valves, neither passive nor active, are required. Furthermore, the fluid pump according to the present invention can be used for actively blocking the fluid in both directions. In the pump according to the present invention, a reversal of the delivery direction can be achieved without the use of an external forced control of valves and without the use of a resonance of passive check valves.
- the pump output achievable with the pump according to the present invention can be optimized by controlling the timing of the driving of the displacer into the first and second end positions, that is to say by controlling the clock ratio. Furthermore, the achievable pumping power can be optimized by adjusting the cross-section of the first and second openings.
- the present invention is also based on the knowledge that it is possible to create a self-priming fluid pump, for example a self-priming micropump, by creating dead volumes in the micropump, ie the volume that only moves back and forth is and does not provide a pump contribution, dra ⁇ ti ⁇ ch is reduced. This means that self-filling with a simple Control of the pump drive reproducible.
- the present invention provides a non-return valve-free fluid pump consisting of a pump body and a flexible displacer, the pump body and the flexible displacer defining a pump space which has a first opening and a second opening with an inlet and an outlet is fluidly connectable.
- the displacer closes the first and the second opening in the first end position, the displacer opening the first opening, while the second opening remains essentially closed when the displacer is driven out of the position by the drive first end position is moved into the second end position.
- the first and the second opening are spaced apart on different sides of a central axis of the displacer, the displacer closing the first opening when it is in the first end position and leaving the first opening open, if it is in the second end position.
- the fluid pump according to the second and third aspects of the present invention preferably consists of a pump body in the form of a plate and a displacer in the form of a membrane.
- the inlet and outlet openings are formed in the plate.
- the displacer in the form of the membrane can rest directly on a main surface of the plate in the rest position.
- a capillary gap can be formed between the displacer in the form of the membrane and a main surface of the plate.

- FIG. 13 shows a cross-sectional representation of a ninth exemplary embodiment of a fluid pump according to the present invention.
- 14a to 14e are graphical representations of the pump of FIG. 11 during a pumping cycle.
- the pump has a pump body 10, which is plate-like, and a displacer 12, which is attached to the pump body via connections 18, which are made depending on the material.
- a pump chamber 14 is formed by a recess in the pump body 10.
- In the pump body there are also two openings, a first opening 15 and a second opening 16, to which the fluid lines of the fluid to be pumped can be connected.
- an elastic buffer 13 is formed as a membrane by thinning the pump body 10, which membrane can be deformed as a function of pressure.
- the displacer 12 can be periodically moved back and forth between two end positions by a drive (not shown). In the first end position, the displacer 12 closes the first opening 15, which is in normal operation of the pump represents the inlet. In the second end position, the displacer 12 leaves the first opening 15 open. Regardless of the position of the displacer 12, the second opening 16, which represents the outlet in normal operation, is open during an entire pump cycle.
- the pumping mechanism of the pump shown in FIG. 1 is explained in more detail below.
- the first opening 15 is regarded as the inlet opening and the second opening 16 as the outlet opening. 2 shows the essential parameters that are necessary to explain the pump mechanism.
- V buffer A pressure-dependent volume displacement of the elastic buffer
- the volume of the pumping chamber sets ⁇ ich au ⁇ a base volume V 0 of the pump chamber 14, the displacement of the displacer 12 v V er d knurled q he un ⁇ the volumetric deformation of the Puffervolumen ⁇ v P u ff he g em AESS following equation together:
- v pumping chamber v 0 + v buffer ( P ) + v displacer U )
- dv pumping chamber dv o (P) + dv buffer ⁇ P) + dv displacer ( 2 )
- the first step is a pump chamber which is completely filled with an incompressible medium, for example a liquid with dV Q / dp ⁇ 0.
- an incompressible medium for example a liquid with dV Q / dp ⁇ 0.
- the displacer 12 is moved upward by a defined volume dV * from the first end position, ie the end position in which it closes the inlet opening 15, within a very short time, dt ⁇ 0.
- the inlet opening is now closed.
- the downward movement of the displacer 12 leads to a corresponding volume deformation of the elastic buffer, ie the membrane 13 in the first exemplary embodiment, out of the pump chamber 14, since the pump chamber content was assumed to be incompressible, and the volume change of the displacer 12 within the can not be compensated for a short time by the fluid flows ⁇ e and ⁇ a through the opening 15, 16.
- the pump efficiency can be be riied.
- the efficiency in the no-load case can be optimized to significantly more than 50%.
- the reason for this is a significantly lower backflow of fluid from the outlet into the pumping chamber during the suction phase.
- the increase in the flow resistance on the outlet side according to equation (6) results in a corresponding lengthening of the pump housing.
- Suction and pumping phases of different durations can be taken into account when controlling the displacer by using a pulse ratio different from 50%, i.e. by controlling the timing of the displacement of the displacer into the first and into the second end position. In the case of increased flow resistance on the outlet side, this means that the suction phase is shortened by the actuation of the displacer, while the pump housing is lengthened.
- FIG. 3 shows the transient processes in the pump according to FIG. 1 in diagram form.
- Curve "A” shows the course of the displacement movement during a pump cycle in the four sub-steps 1, 2, 3 and 4.
- step 1 the displacer is very quickly deflected upward and remains in this position during step 2.
- the inlet opening is open.
- step 3 the displacer is moved very quickly downward, closes the entrance opening and remains in this state during step 4.
- Curve "B” represents the reaction of the buffer which, according to the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1, consists of membrane 13.
- This elastic buffer element in the form of the membrane 13 can deform in accordance with the pressure ratio.
- the deformation of the buffer compensates for the change in volume of the displacer.
- the Step 2 reduces the deformation of the buffer owing to the fluid flows through the inlet or outlet opening.
- the buffer element deforms downward and thus compensates for the rapid change in volume of the displacer.
- this deformation is reduced again by the fluid flow through the outlet opening.
- Curve "C” represents the pump chamber pressure. Since the pump chamber pressure depends on the deformation of the buffer, its course corresponds essentially to the course of the volume change through the buffer.
- Curve “D” illustrates the flow through the inlet opening. A rectifier effect can be seen from curve “D”, since the inlet is closed in step 3 and remains closed during substep 4, during which there is an overpressure in the pressure chamber. This prevents backflow from the pump chamber into the inlet side.
- Curve "E” shows the flow through the outlet opening. Since the outlet opening is open in both end positions of the displacer, the fluid flows through the outlet opening in both step 2 and step 4. The net transport of fluid through the inlet and outlet opening results from the integral over one of the two curves "D" or "E". In normal operating mode, the net transport is directed from the inlet to the outlet.
- the pump according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is shown during the various sub-steps of a pump cycle.
- FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 show further exemplary embodiments for a pump according to the present invention.
- FIG. 5 shows a pump in which a buffer 43 is arranged in a pump body 40.
- the pump body 40 has one Base plate 40a and side walls 40b, which together form a hollow body which is closed off by the side walls 40b and the base plate 40a and is open on one side, in FIG. 5 the upward side. If the base plate has a round shape, the side walls are formed in order to define a tubular structure.
- An inlet opening 45 and an outlet opening 46 extend through the base plate.
- a displacer 42 which closes it off to the open side and by means of a drive (not shown) in the direction through which the arrow 19 is shown, is piston-like movable in the cavity.
- a pump chamber 44 is formed by a recess in the displacer 42 and the pump body 40.
- the elastic buffer 43 is in this embodiment in the pump body 40, i.e. formed in the side wall 40b of the base body 40.
- the side wall 40b is thinned in an area which adjoins the pumping chamber 44 in order to produce a membrane-like structure.
- the mode of operation of this second embodiment corresponds to that of the first embodiment.
- a pump body 50 is constructed in the same way as the pump body 40 of the second embodiment, with the exception that the elastic buffer is not formed in the same.
- a displacer 52 is in turn arranged in the pump body 50 and can be moved like a piston in the direction of the arrow 19.
- the displacer 52 has the shape of an H in cross section, one leg of which has a projection 52a in order to close an inlet opening 55 in the pump body 50.
- An outlet opening 56 in the pump body 50 is continuously open.
- the displacer 52 is designed to close the pump body 50 to the open side.
- the shape of the displacer 52 in turn defines a pump chamber 54 between the displacer 52 and the pump body 50.
- the elastic buffer in this exemplary embodiment is not formed in the pump body 50, but in the displacer 52.
- the elastic buffer as membrane 53 is in the displacer 52 trained.
- FIG. 7 A fourth embodiment of a fluid pump according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 7.
- the pump body in the fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention is identical to the pump body in the third exemplary embodiment.
- an elastic buffer element 63 is arranged in a displacer 62 such that the elastic buffer element 63 has an interface with a pump chamber 64 formed by the displacer 62 and the pump body 50.
- the elastic buffer element 63 is compressed and expanded, which in turn results in the previously explained mode of operation.
- the function of the elastic buffer element can also be performed by an elastic medium in the pump chamber.
- examples are gas inclusion in a chamber filled with liquid or a rubber-like material in the pump chamber.
- the elastic membrane which supplies a section of the pump chamber boundary as part of the displacer or the pump body, can be dispensed with. If the medium to be pumped is compressible, for example gas, the buffer function can be taken over by the same itself, no further mechanical components being necessary to implement the buffer. The stroke of the displacer In steps 1 and 3 explained above, the expansion or compression of the elastic medium in the pump chamber or of the medium to be pumped itself is then initially compensated for.
- steps 2 and 4 the volume deformation of the medium as a result of fluid flows through the openings relaxes, as described above with reference to the first exemplary embodiment.
- a pure gas pump can therefore only be realized with one displacer and two openings, the displacer periodically closing one of the two openings.
- FIG. 8 A representation of the transient processes of the individual components, for example that of the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, when the pump chamber reacts on the displacer, i.e. without a forced control is shown in FIG. 8.
- the displacer in step 1 does not completely reach its final end position, but only towards the end of sub-step 2. Accordingly, at the end of sub-step 3, the displacer does not yet have to completely close the inlet opening, but only with increasing pressure compensation during of the sub-step 4.
- very rapid control of the displacer within a very short time, dt ⁇ 0, is also inexpensive, but not absolutely necessary.
- the position of the displacer in the switched-off mode of the pump without additional effort in such a way that fluid flow in both directions is prevented by the blocking of the inlet opening by the displacer is. If the displacer is positively controlled and its position is not influenced by the pressure prevailing in the pump chamber, the fluid line is blocked in both directions without additional effort. If there is a reaction between the displacer position and the pump chamber pressure, the drive of the displacer can be designed in such a way that it actively presses the displacer onto the inlet opening and thus actively prevents the fluid flow.
- the pumping direction of a fluid pump according to the present invention can be reversed. If the displacer is driven with a frequency which is above the mechanical resonance of the buffer in the relevant environment, i.e. is in the fluid to be pumped, so there is a phase shift of more than 90 ° between the expansion or compression of the buffer element and the opening state of the inlet opening defined by the displacement position.
- the buffer in the pumping chamber thus receives pumping medium while the inlet opening is closed and releases pumping medium when the inlet and outlet openings are open. This results in an opposite pumping direction to that described above. In this case there is a reversal of the pumping direction from the outlet opening to the inlet opening.
- the advantage over the already existing, bidirectional micropump lies in the fact that (i) there is no need for passive valves, and (ii) the resonance frequency of the buffer is different from that of a passive check valve, regardless of other important variables, such as the flow resistance of the valve, the fluidic capacity, the size of the valve and its mechanical stability, can be set.
- the resonance frequencies can be reduced to a range of ⁇ 200 Hertz, as a result of which the outlay in electrical and mechanical control of the displacer is considerably reduced.
- the resonance lies in the range between 2000 Hertz and 6000 Hertz.
- the mechanism can be implemented not only in microscopic pumps that deliver small moving masses, but also in a macroscopic design.
- micropumps can transport both liquids and gases, they are not self-priming throughout, i.e. They are unable to independently replace a pump chamber filled with gas during the pumping process with liquid. This makes it very difficult to use the pumps in practice.
- the causes of the non-existing self-priming are discussed in more detail below.
- Capillary forces play a major role in micropumps with passive check valves. As soon as the liquid level reaches the inlet valve and the movable valve part, the valve flap or the valve membrane, wets, capillary forces occur which restrict the movement, or which considerably increase the effort required to move the elastic valve part. Only when the entire movable valve part has been completely flushed with liquid do these forces cancel each other out and the pump is in its normal pumping mode.
- the actuator in the pump according to the invention can be used directly to overcome the capillary forces.
- the direct power transmission of the drive to the part wetted by a liquid means that much higher forces are available for overcoming the capillary forces. This enables the displacer to work despite wetting.
- FIG. 9 shows a fifth embodiment of a pump according to the present invention.
- the displacer 82 is part of a second pump body 90.
- the second pump body 90 is structured, that is to say it has thickened portions and thinnings 89 in order to provide an elastic suspension for the displacer 82.
- the second pump body 90 is fastened to a pump body 80 via connections 88.
- the pump chamber 84 is designed as a capillary gap between the pump body 80, the displacer 82 and the second pump body 90.
- the pump body 80 has an inlet opening 85 which is closed by the displacer 82 when the same is in the first end position.
- the displacer 82 can in turn be moved in the direction of the arrow 19.
- the buffer is again designed as a membrane, which is located in the pump body 80.
- the buffer could be realized by the dilutions 89, which serve as elastic suspensions for the displacer 82, the buffer in the pump body 80 then being omitted. In this case it would be advantageous if the dilutions 89 were enlarged compared to those shown in FIG. 9.
- the overall height of the pump chamber 84 is designed as a capillary gap, it fills itself as soon as a liquid fluid kiss is applied to this gap.
- Such a reduction in the pump chamber height is excluded in conventional micropumps with non-return valves, since this limits the movement of the valves.
- the pump chamber represents an additional flow resistance with a drastic reduction in the pump chamber height. This internal flow resistance of the pump chamber dominates via the flow resistance of the nozzles, so that the pump effect breaks down based on the preferred direction of the nozzles.
- the second opening which corresponds to the outlet opening during normal operation of the pump, is opened.
- FIG. 10a shows a sixth exemplary embodiment of a pump according to the present invention during the various sub-steps of a pump cycle.
- the buffer is formed in the displacer, such that the displacer and the buffer are formed as different regions of a membrane which spans the pump body in order to define the pump chamber.
- the pump body is constructed similarly to that of the first exemplary embodiment, with the exception that the buffer is not formed in the same. Such a construction of the pump according to the invention enables a further simplified manufacture of the same.
- the present invention thus creates a pump which is based on a new type of mechanism, does entirely without check valves and enables a reversal of the pumping direction without external control of valves.
- the pump according to the present invention thus has a considerably simpler construction.
- the displacer can simultaneously be used to passively or actively shut off fluid flow via the pump after it has been switched off in both directions.
- the present invention also provides a pump that provides advantages when switching the pump direction.
- the resonance of the mechanical component which is the valve in the conventional case and the buffer element in the present invention, can be set independently of the flow resistance of a valve, its size, its fluidic capacity and its mechanical stability become. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to further miniaturize the components and to reduce the resonance frequencies on average. In conventional micropumps, these two effects are opposed to each other.
- the pump according to the invention which does not need check valves, has an increased efficiency per pump cycle of more than 50%.
- a micromechanical design of the pump can only consist of a single structured component in which the displacer is implemented and a base plate with two openings.
- These simple structures allow a problem-free assembly of the overall system.
- a basic structure made of Pyrex allows the anodic bonding of the structured silicon component to the Pyrex basic body, which serves as a pump body.
- the openings in the basic structure can be designed as simple bores or in any shape. This considerably reduces the effort compared to the production of flow nozzles.
- the basic design of the micropump can also be round or have any shape.
- micropump In addition to silicon, all other materials can be considered as materials for the micropump, for example metals, plastics, glasses, ceramics. Simple production in plastic injection molding technology is also possible such as the production in metal pressure casting technology or da ⁇ LIGA process.
- the drive of the micropump i.e. de ⁇ displacer
- de ⁇ displacer can be done by all known actuator methods, for example piezoelectric, pneumatic, thermopneumatic, thermomechanical, electrostatic, magnetic, magnetostrictive or hydraulic.
- a control loop can be set up via integrated sensors, for example in the buffer membrane, which brings the drive of the micropump into the optimum working range in each case.
- the field of application of the pump according to the invention covers the entire area of microfluidics and fluidics, since the medium can be conveyed bidirectionally as well as blocked in a defined manner.
- the minimal size enables the construction of minimal mixing and dosing systems in medical, chemical and analysis technology.
- the pump principle is suitable for a wide range of sizes, so that in many cases the injection molding technique can be used as a cost-effective manufacturing technique.
- the fluid pump has a pump body 110, to which a displacer 114 in the form of a membrane 114 is attached by means of a connecting device 112.
- the membrane 114 can be thickened at the sections at which the displacer is attached to the pump body 110.
- the membrane 114 is by means of a drive device 116, which is a piezoelectric, a pneumatic, a thermopneumatic, a thermomechanical, an electrostatic, a magnetic, a magnetostrictive or a hydraulic drive arrangement can be moved from the position shown in FIG. 11 and referred to below as the first end position into a second end position.
- two openings 118 and 120 are arranged in the pump body 110, which can be connected, for example, to an inlet or outlet fluid line (not shown).
- the opening 118 is the inlet opening
- the opening 120 is the outlet opening.
- the membrane 114 is preferably connected to the drive device 116 directly above the inlet opening 118 in order to enable the operation of the pump, which will be explained below with reference to FIG. 14.
- the membrane 114 can have a thickening at the point at which it is connected to the drive device 116.
- the self-priming, self-filling micropump shown in FIG. 11 differs from known micropumps in that it alternately opens the first opening 118 during pump operation, while the second opening 120 remains closed, and then closes the second opening 120 open while the first opening is closed.
- only one opening, 118 or 120 is open at any time, while the other opening is closed.
- both openings 118 and 120 are closed, as a result of which the pump medium is shut off in a defined manner.
- FIG. 12 shows an eighth embodiment of a fluid pump according to the invention.
- the fluid pump in turn has a pump body 110, to which a membrane 124 is attached by means of a connecting device 112.
- a capillary gap 126 is formed between the membrane and the pump body.
- the membrane In order to close the openings 118 and 120 when the displacer, ie the membrane 124, is in the rest position, the membrane has thickened areas at the locations of the openings the surface of the plate of the pump body facing lio.
- a drive device 116 is attached to the membrane.
- structurings can be formed which enable optimal buffer volume adaptation and emptying. Furthermore, structuring, which can be designed as flow channels, on the top of the pump body, i.e. the upper side, which faces the membrane 124, or the lower side of the membrane for optimal filling or emptying of the pump.
- the openings 118 and 120 which are arranged in the pump body 110 could furthermore have elevations which surround them.
- the membrane 124 would not have to have any thickenings facing the pump body 110 in order to enable the openings 118 and 120 to be closed.
- FIG. 13 shows a ninth exemplary embodiment of a fluid pump according to the present invention.
- a capillary gap is formed between the pump body 110 and a membrane 136 forming a displacer.
- This asymmetrical structure of the pump according to the invention enables self-priming or self-filling operation of the micropump according to the present invention.
- FIG. 11 A pump cycle of the pump, which is shown in FIG. 11, is explained below with reference to FIGS. 14a to 14e. It should be noted that this is shown in Fig. 12 illustrated embodiment of the present invention undergoes a similar pump cycle in operation.
- Fig. 14a the pump is shown in the rest position, which is also shown in Fig. 11. In this position, both connections are closed, as a result of which an absolute media block is generated.
- the displacer i.e. the membrane 114 is moved selectively upwards from the rest position in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 14b, the inlet opening, the opening 118, being opened while the outlet opening, the opening 120, remains closed.
- the position shown in FIG. 14b can be regarded as the second end position of the displacer.
- Fig. 14c it is shown how a medium to be pumped by the upward movement of the displacer through the inlet opening, i.e. the opening 118, into which the pump chamber formed by the upward movement of the displacer is drawn. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 14d, the displacer is suddenly moved downward at certain points and thus closes the inlet opening. Due to the displacement deformation, i.e. the deformation of the membrane 114, a buffer volume is formed between the membrane and the pump body, which corresponds to the fluid volume received, which has the effect that the outlet opening is opened.
- the buffer volume is discharged through the outlet opening, i.e. the opening 120 is emptied, the medium to be pumped being "shifted" or transported via a "roll displacement".
- the pump mechanism described above with reference to FIGS. 14a to 14e results in a pumping direction from the inlet opening 118 to the outlet opening 120.
- a reversal of the pumping direction can be achieved. It is obvious that the inlet or outlet opening then also reverses, ie the inlet opening 118 becomes the outlet opening and the outlet opening 120 becomes the inlet opening.
- the volume of the medium received by the fluid pump according to the invention through an opening in each pump cycle corresponds to the volume of the medium discharged through the second opening.
- the backflow occurring in the pump according to the invention or the dead volume, i.e. that volume, which is only moved back and forth and does not make a pump contribution, goes to zero in this arrangement, in contrast to known micro pumps.
- self-filling in connection with the membrane deformation and the sequential opening of the openings can be reproduced with a simple activation of the drive device.
- FIG. 15a to 15e show a pump cycle of the ninth embodiment of a pump shown in FIG. 13 according to the present invention.
- the membrane 136 is first moved downward from a rest position by means of the drive device 116 such that the opening 118 is closed.
- opening 118 is referred to as the inlet opening
- opening 120 is referred to as the outlet opening.
- the position of the membrane 136 shown in FIG. 15a can be referred to as the first end position.
- the membrane 136 is subsequently moved upwards in a jerky manner.
- the openings are briefly opened here, but a different dimension of the medium flows through the openings, since the opening height, ie the distance of the membrane, bran above the openings, and thus the flow resistance.
- a larger fluid flow thus flows through the inlet opening 118 than through the outlet opening 120. This is indicated in FIG. 15c by the arrows, which are shown with different strengths.
- the membrane is subsequently moved downward in a jerky manner, as a result of which the opening 118 is closed.
- a pump volume is formed between the membrane and the pump body, which, as shown in FIG. 15e, is subsequently emptied through the opening 120 by the reshaping of the displacer.
- the micropump according to FIGS. 11 and 12 can be filled itself with a constant drive frequency. After the medium to be pumped has filled the pump chamber or the pumping chamber and emerges at the outlet opening, the drive frequency of the drive device which drives the displacer can be reduced by a factor of 10 in the case of pumping a liquid medium, since now there is no more air must be displaced, but only the liquid medium.
- a basis for the pump mechanism lies in the displacement deformation and the arrangement of the openings.
- the medium to be pumped is received through the opening 118 and "shifted" to the opening 120 or transported via a "roll displacement".
- the pump bodies and displacement devices according to the invention can preferably consist of silicon. In addition, they can also be manufactured using a plastic injection molding technique. All drives known in the art can be used as drive devices.
- the transient curve shapes characteristic of the micropump for the stroke, the pump chamber pressure, the displacement volume change and the flow can be derived without further ado.
- a capillary gap between the displacer membrane and the pump body plate could also be formed by a recess in the pump body plate.
- the present invention thus makes it possible for the first time to produce non-return valves, self-priming, i.e. self-filling, micropumps.
- the field of application of the pumps according to the invention covers the entire field of microfluidics and fluidics, since the medium to be pumped can be conveyed bidirectionally as well as blocked in a defined manner.
- the pumps according to the invention can be produced with minimal effort and with minimal overall sizes. Due to these small sizes, the present invention enables the construction of minimal mixing and dosing systems in medical, chemical and analysis technology, the pumps used having a good efficiency.
