Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fluid pump, i.e. a pump for liquids and gases.
- displacement pumps for transporting fluids, which consist of a periodic displacer, a piston or a membrane, and two passive non-return valves. Due to the periodic movement of the piston or the membrane, fluid is sucked through the inlet valve into a pumping chamber or displaced out of the pumping chamber through the outlet valve.
- These known pumps are complex due to the use of the valves.
- the transport direction is predetermined by the arrangement of the valves. If the pumping direction is to be reversed in such an arrangement, an external reversal of the valves, which is associated with a high outlay, is necessary in such known pumps.
- 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.
- valves either passive check valves or special flow nozzles can be used as valves, each of which is complex.
- the direction of delivery of micropumps can be reversed without a forced control of the valves solely 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 open state of the valves is anticyclical to their state in the normal forward mode and the pumping direction is reversed. An external changeover of the valves, as 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 fluid environment.
- a disadvantage of this embodiment is that when designing the valves, there is a compromise between their mechanical resonance in the fluid environment, their flow resistance, their fluidic capacity, i. 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%.
- a fluid pump is known from DE-C 19534378.6, which has a pump body, a displacer and an elastic buffer. In a first end position, the displacer closes an inlet arranged in the pump body and, in a second end position, leaves the inlet arranged in the pump body open.
- the known pump enables a net flow through an outlet also arranged in the pump body.
- the buffer device adjoining the pump chamber formed by the displacer and the pump body makes the known fluid pump complex. Esashi, Shoji and Nakano describe in the article "Normally closed microvalve and micropump fabricated on a silicon wafer", Sensors and Actuators 20 (1989), pp. 163-169, a gas microvalve that is closed in the normal state.
- the valve consists of a glass plate in which a gas outlet opening is arranged, which can be closed by means of a silicon mesa structure which can be operated by a piezoelectric drive and which is provided with a valve seat.
- the silicon layer in which the silicon mesa structure is formed and the glass plate further define a continuous channel between the gas outlet opening and a gas inlet opening which is formed in the silicon layer.
- a membrane-type micropump is also described, which consists of two one-way valves and a membrane with a piezoelectric drive.
- the present invention is based on the object of creating an efficient fluid pump with a simple structure.
- the present invention provides a fluid pump with a pump body and a displacer which can be periodically positioned in a first and a second end position by means of a drive, the displacer and the pump body being designed such that a pump chamber is formed between them.
- the displacer closes the outlet opening when it is in the first end position and leaves the outlet opening open when it is in the second end position.
- the pump body is preferably in shape a plate which has the inlet and outlet openings, while the displacer has a recess which defines the pump chamber.
- the pump efficiency can be optimized by adapting the cross-sectional areas of the inlet and outlet openings and by controlling the timing of driving the displacer into the first and second end positions.
- the displacer can be driven by a piezoelectric bending transducer, a glued-on piezo plate or else electrostatically.
- a fluid pump according to the present invention has a simple structure, which can consist of only a single structured silicon chip. This can save costs in the processing of silicon parts and costs in assembly. A further cost saving results from the production of a pump according to the invention from plastic by means of precision engineering processes, for example injection molding, etc.
- the displacer of the fluid pump according to the invention is controlled with a driver voltage which has such polarity that the displacer is raised.
- the polarity of the driver voltage can be reversed, as a result of which the outlet opening is closed with a defined high contact pressure.
- the outlet opening, together with the displacer represents an active valve, which represents a significant advantage over passive valves.

- FIG. 2 shows the pressure in the pumping chamber of a fluid pump according to the present invention during a suction phase and a pressure phase;

- Fig. Lla to lid representations of the transient processes that take place in a fluid pump of the present invention, which has a small buffer volume in the pump chamber;
- FIG. 12 shows a cross-sectional view of a further exemplary embodiment of a fluid pump according to the present invention.
- a preferred embodiment is one - 1 -
- the pump has a pump body 10 and a displacer 12.
- An outlet opening 14 with a width w and an inlet opening 16 are formed in the pump body.
- the outlet opening 14 and the inlet opening 16 can have any shape, for example square, round, rectangular or ellipsoid.
- the displacer 12 is fastened on the pump body 10 and has a recess which, together with the pump body 10, defines a pump chamber 18.
- the pump body 10 and the displacer 12 can be circular, for example.
- the displacer 12 can be moved back and forth into a first and a second end position by means of a piezo bending transducer 20, which consists of piezoceramic.
- the piezo bending transducer 20 is fastened to the displacer 12 by means of an adhesive 22, for example.
- the displacer 12 forms a valve with the outlet opening 14 on its middle, thicker section, the outlet opening 14 being closed in the first end position of the displacer 12 and being open in the second end position of the displacer 12.
- the inlet opening which can be designed as a diaphragm, is permanently open.
- FIG. 2 shows the pressure curve over time in the pump chamber 18 when the piezo-bending transducer 20 is actuated with a square-wave voltage.
- voltage When voltage is present, there is initially a negative pressure in the pump chamber 18, which decreases with increasing displacement of the displacer 12. The displacement of the displacer 12 corresponds to the gap height h.
- the voltage is switched off, or alternatively when the voltage is reversed, there is an overpressure in the pump chamber 18, which decreases again as the deflection of the displacer 12 decreases.
- the amount of the flow through the inlet opening or inlet orifice is calculated in a first approximation to:
- a B ⁇ en (each d: Le cross-sectional area of the inlet opening or orifice 16, ⁇ is a geometry-dependent dimensionless discharge number, P is the density of the fluid, p-, ⁇ i ⁇ t the pressure in the inlet opening into the inlet opening (see FIG. 1), and p is the pump chamber pressure.
- the flow through the outlet opening can be regarded approximately as a laminar gap flow. The same is calculated as:
- w is the width of the outlet opening
- h is the deflection of the displacer
- b is the length of the corresponding gap (see FIG. 1)
- n_ is the viscosity of the fluids
- p 2 is the pressure in the outlet opening into the outlet opening ⁇ let (see Fig. 1).
- the decisive factor for the pump mechanism in the fluid pump according to the present invention is the fact that the flow through the outlet opening depends on the two independent variables, namely the pump chamber pressure p and the gap height h.
- the net pumping effect of the fluid pump of the present invention is based on the fact that the gap between the displacer and the outlet opening is flowed through differently during the opening process of the outlet opening, that is to say the suction phase, and the closing process of the outlet opening, that is to say the pressure phase.
- the reason for this is that the flow through the outlet opening depends both on the pressure in the pumping chamber and on the gap height h between the displacer and the pump body.
- the pumping efficiency of a pump according to the present invention i.e. the pump yield per pump cycle and the maximum counter pressure that can be achieved in the pump chamber can be varied by modifying the two opening cross sections. In particular, this results in a reduction in the cross-sectional area of the inlet opening compared to the cross-sectional area, i.e. the width w of the outlet opening, an increase in the maximum pressure.
- the pressure efficiency can also be improved by an optimized profile of the control voltage.
- the pressure in the pump chamber is such that there is an equilibrium of forces between the pump drive, the intrinsic tension of the displacer and the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid in the pump chamber.
- 6a, 6b and 6c show two possibilities of how the pressure in the pumping chamber can advantageously be modified by means of a suitable control voltage.
- FIGS. 6a to 6c have in common a linear voltage increase during the suction phase and an abrupt switching off of the voltage during the pressure phase. 6c, the voltage is reversed in a targeted manner at the beginning of the pressure phase, as a result of which the pressure in the pumping chamber is increased beyond the normal level. With such control voltages, the pump efficiency can be increased in a targeted manner. It is also obvious that the displacer can be closed either solely by its mechanical restoring force due to its deformation (passive) or by the drive (active).
- the crucial point in the Purap mechanism according to the present invention is that both the pressure p in the pump chamber and the height of the flow gap at the outlet opening change with the movement of the displacer.
- the flow through the outlet opening is composed of these two factors.
- a flow rate ⁇ is proportional to ph 3 ; in a more general view, the flow rate is proportional to p x h v , where x and y are arbitrary numbers.
- Such a pressure curve is shown in FIG. 7.
- Such a pressure curve can be achieved, for example, by means of an electrostatic drive or a targeted modification of the control voltage (see FIG. 6).
- the pump body 100 consists of a fluidic base plate with integrated channels 105 and 107, which end in an outlet opening 140 and an inlet opening 160, respectively.
- a displaceable silicon chip serves as displacer 120, which is attached to the fluidic base plate and is designed to close the outlet opening 140 in a first end position and to leave the outlet opening open in a second end position.
- a pump chamber 180 is also defined by a recess in the displacer 120.
- the drive used is a piezo-ceramic plate attached to the displacer, which can be provided with a layer for selective bonding on the top thereof.
- FIG. 9 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention which, with the exception of the drive of the displacer, is identical to the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 8.
- an electrostatic drive of the displacer is realized.
- a counterelectrode is arranged above the side of the displacer 120 opposite the pump body 100, in order to move the displacer into the first and the second end position.
- An electrostatic drive has the advantage that due to the non-linear electrostatic drive forces during the suction and pressure phases alone, it has a highly asymmetrical pump chamber pressure curve, as shown, for example, in FIG. 7 is enabled.
- FIGS. 10a to 10d show further exemplary embodiments for controlling the displacer. A distinction can be made between selective or areal application of force. Furthermore, the control devices differ in whether they enable a positively driven control or a control with a reaction. In the case of a positively controlled displacer, there is no reaction between the displacer position and the pump chamber pressure.
- 10a shows a drive for a selective introduction of force without forced control.
- FIG. 10b shows a drive for a flat introduction of force to the displacer without positive control.
- 10c and 10d represent drives for selective or areal application of force with a positive control.
- the inlet opening may also be advantageous to be designed as a flow nozzle, as is customary in so-called diffuser nozzle pumps.
- the pumping direction is also further favored.
- the elastic components are arranged inside or outside the pump chamber, the pressure curve in the pump chamber and the flow rates through the inlet or outlet opening are influenced thereby.
- the elastic components can be, for example, an elastic membrane or an elastic media inclusion, for example gas.
- the transient processes in a pump for this case are shown in FIG. 11.
- the resonance frequency is determined by the fluid to be moved in the fluid lines.
- the limit frequency from which a reversal of the conveying direction occurs, becomes lower with increasing length of the fluid lines because of the larger fluid mass. This undesired coupling between the resonance frequency and the fluid lines can be suppressed by targeted introduction of elastic components outside the pump chamber.
- the dynamic behavior of the moving fluid column can be used to reverse the pumping direction. If the pump is operated at a frequency which corresponds to the resonance frequency of the moving fluid column, there is a phase shift between the pressure and the fluid movement, which causes the direction of flow to be reversed.
- a reversal of the pump direction can also be achieved by utilizing the dynamic behavior of the displacer. If the pump is operated at a frequency which corresponds to the resonance frequency of the displacer, a phase shift between the force driving the displacer and the movement of the displacer leads to a reversal of the pump direction.
- FIG. 12 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a fluid Pump shown according to the present invention.
- a pump chamber 380 is formed between a pump body 310 and a displacer 320 as a capillary gap.
- a fluid pump according to the present invention can also be provided with a pressure sensor, via which the fluid pump is held in the ideal operating range.
- the pressure sensor can be arranged in or on the pump chamber in order to record the pressure prevailing therein.
- the pressure sensor in the embodiment shown in FIG. 12 can be integrated, for example, in the displacer 320 designed as a membrane. It is then possible via a control loop to bring the drive of the micropump into the optimum working range in each case.
