本申请一实施例提供了一种微流控芯片100,如图1和图2所示,微流控芯片100包括芯片本体1、至少一个微流控阀门2和分别与微流控阀门2一一对应的进液腔30和反应腔40。芯片本体1具有旋转中心轴(图未示),微流控阀门2包括特斯拉阀管路20,特斯拉阀管路20的相对两端分别具有进液口21和出液口22,进液口21与旋转中心轴的距离小于出液口22与旋转中心轴的距离,且特斯拉阀管路20被配置为能够对从进液口21向出液口22 流动的流体形成预设阻力。进液腔30与对应的微流控阀门2的特斯拉阀管路20的进液口21连通,反应腔40与对应的微流控阀门2的特斯拉阀管路20的出液口22连通。An embodiment of the present application provides a microfluidic chip 100. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the microfluidic chip 100 includes a chip body 1, at least one microfluidic valve 2 and a microfluidic valve 2 respectively. A corresponding liquid inlet chamber 30 and reaction chamber 40. The chip body 1 has a central axis of rotation (not shown). The microfluidic valve 2 includes a Tesla valve pipeline 20. The opposite ends of the Tesla valve pipeline 20 have a liquid inlet 21 and a liquid outlet 22 respectively. The distance between the liquid inlet 21 and the central axis of rotation is smaller than the distance between the liquid outlet 22 and the central axis of rotation, and the Tesla valve pipeline 20 is configured to be able to flow from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22 The flowing fluid creates a preset resistance. The liquid inlet chamber 30 is connected to the liquid inlet 21 of the corresponding Tesla valve pipeline 20 of the microfluidic valve 2, and the reaction chamber 40 is connected to the liquid outlet of the corresponding Tesla valve pipeline 20 of the microfluidic valve 2. 22 connected.
上述微流控芯片100,通过设置微流控阀门2包括特斯拉阀管路20,特斯拉阀管路20靠近旋转中心轴的一端具有进液口21,特斯拉阀管路20远离旋转中心轴的一端具有出液口22,使当芯片本体1绕旋转中心轴转动时,流体在离心力的作用下的流向为从进液口21向出液口22流动。而由于特斯拉阀管路20被配置为能够对进液口21向出液口22流动的流体形成预设阻力,从而使芯片本体1需要以较高的转速绕旋转中心轴旋转,使流体受到的离心力大于预设阻力,才能使进液口21的流体克服预设阻力流动至出液口22,即,使微流控阀门2打开。而当流体受到的离心力小于预设阻力时,流体无法从进液口21流至出液口22,微流控阀门2关闭。因此,能够通过改变芯片本体1绕旋转中心轴转动的转速,改变离心力的大小,实现微流控阀门2的打开或关闭,并使得微流控阀门2能分别在一定的转速范围内稳定地保持打开状态或关闭状态。The above-mentioned microfluidic chip 100 includes a Tesla valve pipeline 20 by setting a microfluidic valve 2. The Tesla valve pipeline 20 has a liquid inlet 21 at one end close to the central axis of rotation, and the Tesla valve pipeline 20 is far away from the central axis of rotation. One end of the central axis of rotation has a liquid outlet 22, so that when the chip body 1 rotates around the central axis of rotation, the flow direction of the fluid under the action of centrifugal force is from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22. Since the Tesla valve pipeline 20 is configured to form a preset resistance to the fluid flowing from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22, the chip body 1 needs to rotate around the central axis of rotation at a higher speed, causing the fluid to Only when the centrifugal force is greater than the preset resistance can the fluid in the liquid inlet 21 overcome the preset resistance and flow to the liquid outlet 22, that is, the microfluidic valve 2 can be opened. When the centrifugal force experienced by the fluid is less than the preset resistance, the fluid cannot flow from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22, and the microfluidic valve 2 is closed. Therefore, by changing the rotation speed of the chip body 1 around the central axis of rotation and changing the size of the centrifugal force, the microfluidic valve 2 can be opened or closed, and the microfluidic valve 2 can be stably maintained within a certain rotational speed range. Open state or closed state.
在实际使用过程中,先将试剂加入进液腔30,再通过控制芯片本体1绕旋转中心轴的转速,控制微流控阀门2的打开或关闭,即控制试剂能否进入反应腔40内。因此,上述实施例中的微流控芯片100,能够更精确地控制芯片本体1上试剂的加入顺序和反应步骤,控制孵育时间,从而实现复杂的多步化学反应。In actual use, the reagent is first added into the liquid chamber 30, and then the opening or closing of the microfluidic valve 2 is controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the chip body 1 around the central axis of rotation, that is, whether the reagent can enter the reaction chamber 40 is controlled. Therefore, the microfluidic chip 100 in the above embodiment can more accurately control the adding sequence and reaction steps of reagents on the chip body 1 and control the incubation time, thereby realizing complex multi-step chemical reactions.

在一些实施例中,如图2和图3所示,特斯拉阀管路20包括沿其延伸方向布设并彼此连通的多个特斯拉阀单元24,每一特斯拉阀单元24包括彼此相对设置且沿进液口21指向出液口22方向上错位布设的两个管道240,两个管道240均具有沿进液口21指向出液口22方向上的第一端2401和第二端2402。如图4所示,两个管道240包括第一管道241和第二管道242,第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第二端2412朝第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242延伸,并连接于第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241。第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242的第一端2421连接于第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241上位于第一端2411和第二端2412之间的部位,第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242的第二端2422朝第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241延伸,并连接于第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242上位于第一端2421和第二端2422之间的部位。第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第一端2411连接于第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242。In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the Tesla valve pipeline 20 includes a plurality of Tesla valve units 24 arranged along its extension direction and connected to each other. Each Tesla valve unit 24 includes Two pipes 240 are arranged opposite each other and are arranged in a staggered direction along the direction from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22. Both pipes 240 have a first end 2401 and a second end along the direction from the liquid inlet 21 toward the liquid outlet 22. Terminal 2402. As shown in FIG. 4 , the two pipes 240 include a first pipe 241 and a second pipe 242 , and the second end 2412 of the first pipe 241 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 faces the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 The second pipe 242 extends and is connected to the first pipe 241 of the N+1 Tesla valve unit 24. The first end 2421 of the second pipe 242 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 is connected to a portion of the first pipe 241 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 between the first end 2411 and the second end 2412 , the second end 2422 of the second pipe 242 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 extends toward the first pipe 241 of the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24 and is connected to the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24. The portion of the second pipe 242 of the valve unit 24 is located between the first end 2421 and the second end 2422 . The first end 2411 of the first pipe 241 of the N+1 Tesla valve unit 24 is connected to the second pipe 242 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 .
如此,上述实施例中通过设置每一特斯拉阀单元24包括两个管道240,且两个管道240均具有沿进液口21指向出液口22方向上的第一端2401和第二端2402(见图3),使当芯片本体1绕旋转中心轴转动时,流体的流向为从每一管道240的第一端2401向同一管道240的第二端2402流动。通过设置第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第二端2412朝第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242延伸,使在流体从进液口21向出液口22流动时, 流动至第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第二端2412内的流体的流速,与流动至第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242内的流体的流速不同向。并且由于设置第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第一端2411与第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242连接,使当流体从进液口21向出液口22流动时,进入第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242的流体一部分从同一第二管道242的第二端2402流出,另一部分进入第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第一端2401。又由于第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第二端2412与第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241连接,使在第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第二端2412与第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的连接处相遇的流体的流速反向,从而使第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第二端2412流出的流体与第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241内的流体相遇时,对第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241内的流体起到阻挡流动的作用。同样地,第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242的第二端2422流出的流体与第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242内的流体相遇时,对第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242内的流体起到阻挡流动的作用。因此,通过设置特斯拉阀管路20包括沿其延伸方向布设并彼此连通的多个特斯拉阀单元24,使当流体从第N个特斯拉阀单元24流进第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24时,第N个特斯拉阀单元24与第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的连接处对流体形成阻力,从而使特斯拉阀管路20对从进液口21向出液口22流动的流体形成预设阻力。In this way, in the above embodiment, each Tesla valve unit 24 includes two pipes 240 , and both pipes 240 have a first end 2401 and a second end along the liquid inlet 21 pointing toward the liquid outlet 22 . 2402 (see Figure 3), so that when the chip body 1 rotates around the central axis of rotation, the flow direction of the fluid is from the first end 2401 of each pipe 240 to the second end 2402 of the same pipe 240. By arranging the second end 2412 of the first pipe 241 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 to extend toward the second pipe 242 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24, the fluid flows from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet. When 22 flows, The flow rate of the fluid flowing into the second end 2412 of the first pipe 241 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 is different from the flow rate of the fluid flowing into the second pipe 242 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 Towards. And since the first end 2411 of the first pipe 241 of the N+1 Tesla valve unit 24 is connected to the second pipe 242 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24, when the fluid flows from the liquid inlet 21 to When the liquid outlet 22 flows, part of the fluid entering the second pipe 242 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 flows out from the second end 2402 of the same second pipe 242, and the other part enters the N+1th Tesla valve. First end 2401 of first conduit 241 of unit 24. And because the second end 2412 of the first pipe 241 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 is connected to the first pipe 241 of the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24, so that in the Nth Tesla valve unit The flow rate of the fluid that meets the second end 2412 of the first pipe 241 of 24 and the first pipe 241 of the N+1 Tesla valve unit 24 is reversed, so that the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 When the fluid flowing out of the second end 2412 of the first pipe 241 meets the fluid in the first pipe 241 of the N+1 Tesla valve unit 24, the fluid flowing out of the N+1 Tesla valve unit 24 will The fluid in a pipe 241 acts as a flow barrier. Similarly, when the fluid flowing out of the second end 2422 of the second pipe 242 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 meets the fluid in the second pipe 242 of the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24, the The fluid in the second pipe 242 of the N+1 Tesla valve units 24 acts to block the flow. Therefore, by arranging the Tesla valve pipeline 20 to include a plurality of Tesla valve units 24 arranged along its extension direction and connected to each other, when the fluid flows from the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 into the N+1th When the Tesla valve unit 24 is installed, the connection between the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 and the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24 forms a resistance to the fluid, thereby causing the Tesla valve pipeline 20 to pass through the liquid inlet. The fluid flowing from the port 21 to the liquid outlet 22 forms a preset resistance.
在一些实施例中,N为正整数。In some embodiments, N is a positive integer.
需要说明的是,两股流体的流速同向,指两股流体的运动方向相同,两股流体的流速反向,指两股流体的运动方向相反。It should be noted that the flow rates of the two fluids are in the same direction, which means that the two fluids move in the same direction, and the flow rates of the two fluids are in the opposite direction, which means that the two fluids move in opposite directions.
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第二端2402位于第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第一端2401和第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242的第一端2401之间。第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242的第二端2402位于第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242的第一端2401和第N+2个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第一端2401之间。如此,通过设置第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第二端2402位于第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第一端2401和第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242的第一端2401之间,使当流体流进第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第一端2401后,就受到从第N个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241的第二端2402中流出的流体的阻挡。即,在第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241内的流体分流进第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242之前,第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第一管道241内的流体的流速降低,从而降低了分流进第N+1个特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242内的流体的流速,进一步提高了特斯拉阀管路20对从进液口21向出液口22流动的流体形成的预设阻力。 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 , the second end 2402 of the first pipe 241 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 is located at the first pipe 241 of the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24 . Between one end 2401 and the first end 2401 of the second pipe 242 of the N+1 Tesla valve unit 24. The second end 2402 of the second pipe 242 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 is located at the first end 2401 of the second pipe 242 of the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24 and the N+2th Tesla between the first end 2401 of the first pipe 241 of the valve unit 24 . In this way, by arranging the second end 2402 of the first pipe 241 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 to be located at the first end 2401 of the first pipe 241 of the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24 and the N+1th between the first ends 2401 of the second pipes 242 of the N+1 Tesla valve units 24, so that when the fluid flows into the first end 2401 of the first pipe 241 of the N+1 Tesla valve unit 24, it is Blocking of fluid flowing out from the second end 2402 of the first pipe 241 of the Nth Tesla valve unit 24 . That is, before the fluid in the first pipe 241 of the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24 flows into the second pipe 242 of the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24, the N+1th Tesla valve The flow rate of the fluid in the first pipe 241 of the pull valve unit 24 is reduced, thereby reducing the flow rate of the fluid branched into the second pipe 242 of the N+1th Tesla valve unit 24, further increasing the Tesla The valve pipeline 20 forms a preset resistance to the fluid flowing from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22 .
可以理解的是,当特斯拉阀管路20对从进液口21向出液口22流动的流体形成的预设阻力提高,则需要较大的离心力才能使流体从进液口21流动至出液口22,因此,当芯片本体1绕旋转中心轴转动的转速大于与预设阻力对应的临界转速时,微流控阀门2开启,当芯片本体1绕旋转中心轴转动的转速大于与预设阻力对应的临界转速时,微流控阀门2打开。由此可知,上述实施例中,通过提高特斯拉阀管路20对从进液口21向出液口22流动的流体形成的预设阻力,也就提高了芯片本体1在高转速条件下工作时,微流控阀门2关闭的稳定性和可靠性。It can be understood that when the preset resistance formed by the Tesla valve pipeline 20 to the fluid flowing from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22 increases, a larger centrifugal force is required to make the fluid flow from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22 . Liquid outlet 22. Therefore, when the rotation speed of the chip body 1 around the central axis of rotation is greater than the critical rotation speed corresponding to the preset resistance, the microfluidic valve 2 opens. When the rotation speed of the chip body 1 around the central axis of rotation is greater than the preset resistance, When the critical speed corresponding to the resistance is set, the microfluidic valve 2 is opened. It can be seen from this that in the above embodiment, by increasing the preset resistance of the Tesla valve pipeline 20 to the fluid flowing from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22, the performance of the chip body 1 under high-speed conditions is also improved. When working, the microfluidic valve 2 is closed with stability and reliability.
其中,临界转速为使微流控阀门2打开时,芯片本体1绕旋转中心轴转动的转速值。The critical rotation speed is the rotation speed value at which the chip body 1 rotates around the central axis of rotation when the microfluidic valve 2 is opened.
在一些实施例中,如图2-4所示,管道240包括具有彼此连通的进液段2403和出液段2404,管道240的第一端2401设置于进液段2403远离出液段2404的一端,管道240的第二端2402设置于出液段2404远离进液段2403的一端,进液段2403被构造为呈直线状,出液段2404被构造为呈圆弧状。如此,通过设置出液段2404呈圆弧状,使同一管道240的出液段2404的延伸方向与进液段2403的延伸方向不同,从而使第一管道241的第二端2412能够朝同一特斯拉阀单元24的第二管道242延伸。In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2-4, the pipeline 240 includes a liquid inlet section 2403 and a liquid outlet section 2404 that are connected to each other. The first end 2401 of the pipeline 240 is disposed on the liquid inlet section 2403 away from the liquid outlet section 2404. At one end, the second end 2402 of the pipe 240 is disposed at an end of the liquid outlet section 2404 away from the liquid inlet section 2403. The liquid inlet section 2403 is configured in a straight line, and the liquid outlet section 2404 is structured in an arc shape. In this way, by arranging the liquid outlet section 2404 in an arc shape, the extending direction of the liquid outlet section 2404 of the same pipe 240 is different from the extending direction of the liquid inlet section 2403, so that the second end 2412 of the first pipe 241 can move toward the same feature. The second conduit 242 of the Sla valve unit 24 extends.
在一些实施例中,如图5和图6所示,特斯拉阀管路20包括沿其延伸方向布设并彼此连通的多个特斯拉阀单元组23,特斯拉阀单元组23包括至少一个特斯拉阀单元24。每一特斯拉阀单元24沿进液口21指向出液口22方向上的两端分别具有逆向进口端231和逆向出口端232,每一特斯拉阀单元24被配置为能够阻挡流体从逆向进口端231向逆向出口端232流动,以使特斯拉阀管路20被配置为能够对从进液口21向出液口22流动的流体形成预设阻力。如此,使流体从进液口21向出液口22流动时,流体流经多个特斯拉阀单元组23,而当流体流经每一特斯拉阀单元组23时,流体从特斯拉阀单元组23的特斯拉阀单元24的逆向进口端231向逆向出口端232流动,从而受到特斯拉阀单元24形成的阻挡作用,使流体的流速降低。而由于流体从进液口21流进特斯拉阀管路20后,需要经过多组特斯拉阀单元组23才能流至出液口22,从而使特斯拉阀管路20对流体形成较大的预设阻力,使芯片本体1在高转速条件下工作时,微流控阀门2能够稳定可靠地关闭。In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the Tesla valve pipeline 20 includes a plurality of Tesla valve unit groups 23 arranged along its extension direction and connected to each other. The Tesla valve unit group 23 includes At least one Tesla valve unit 24. Each Tesla valve unit 24 has a reverse inlet end 231 and a reverse outlet end 232 at both ends along the direction from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22. Each Tesla valve unit 24 is configured to block fluid from flowing out. The reverse inlet end 231 flows toward the reverse outlet end 232 , so that the Tesla valve pipeline 20 is configured to form a preset resistance to the fluid flowing from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22 . In this way, when the fluid flows from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22, the fluid flows through multiple Tesla valve unit groups 23, and when the fluid flows through each Tesla valve unit group 23, the fluid flows from the Tesla valve unit group 23 to the liquid outlet 22. The reverse inlet end 231 of the Tesla valve unit 24 of the pull valve unit group 23 flows toward the reverse outlet end 232, thereby being blocked by the Tesla valve unit 24 and reducing the flow rate of the fluid. Since the fluid flows from the liquid inlet 21 into the Tesla valve pipeline 20, it needs to pass through multiple groups of Tesla valve unit groups 23 before it can flow to the liquid outlet 22, so that the Tesla valve pipeline 20 forms a barrier for the fluid. The larger preset resistance enables the microfluidic valve 2 to be closed stably and reliably when the chip body 1 is working under high-speed conditions.
此外,上述实施例中通过设置特斯拉阀管路20包括沿其延伸方向布设并彼此连通的多个特斯拉阀单元组23,还使得第一次使流体通过特斯拉阀管路20后,残留在特斯拉阀管路20内的流体在离心力作用下沉积到特斯拉阀管路20的靠近出液口22的一段。此时,特斯拉阀管路20靠近进液口21的一段内保持通畅,因此特斯拉阀管路20内未形成闭塞的液滴,从而使微流控阀门2的两端的气体***,微流控阀门2的两端的气压平衡。如此,当需要第二次使流体通过微流控阀门2时,使微流控阀门2打开的离心力与上一次的离心力相同,因此,使多次打开微流控阀门2的离心力保持恒定,从而便于微流控阀门2的重复使用,能够进行多步化学反应。例如,在实际使用过程中,可以将不同种类的试剂按照实验反应需要 的顺序加入进液腔30内,并在每次向进液腔30内加入一种或多种试剂后,使微流控阀门2打开,从而使不同种类的试剂能够按照实验反应需要的顺序进入反应体系,控制孵育时间,以精确控制液流的次序及反应过程,提高微流控芯片100中化学反应的复杂程度,拓展微流控芯片100中化学反应的类别。In addition, in the above embodiment, by arranging the Tesla valve pipeline 20 to include a plurality of Tesla valve unit groups 23 arranged along its extension direction and connected to each other, it is also possible to allow fluid to pass through the Tesla valve pipeline 20 for the first time. Finally, the fluid remaining in the Tesla valve pipeline 20 is deposited to a section of the Tesla valve pipeline 20 close to the liquid outlet 22 under the action of centrifugal force. At this time, the section of the Tesla valve pipeline 20 close to the liquid inlet 21 remains unobstructed, so no occluded droplets are formed in the Tesla valve pipeline 20 , thereby allowing the gas at both ends of the microfluidic valve 2 to move freely. , the air pressure at both ends of the microfluidic valve 2 is balanced. In this way, when the fluid needs to pass through the microfluidic valve 2 for the second time, the centrifugal force to open the microfluidic valve 2 is the same as the centrifugal force of the last time. Therefore, the centrifugal force to open the microfluidic valve 2 multiple times remains constant, thus It is convenient to reuse the microfluidic valve 2 and can carry out multi-step chemical reactions. For example, in actual use, different types of reagents can be used according to experimental reaction needs The microfluidic valve 2 is opened after adding one or more reagents into the liquid inlet chamber 30 each time, so that different types of reagents can enter in the order required for the experimental reaction. The reaction system controls the incubation time to accurately control the order of liquid flow and the reaction process, thereby increasing the complexity of chemical reactions in the microfluidic chip 100 and expanding the types of chemical reactions in the microfluidic chip 100 .
在一些实施例中,如图6所示,特斯拉阀单元24包括第一通道233和位于第一通道233一侧的第二通道234,第一通道233的出口与第二通道234的出口朝向彼此靠近的一侧延伸,并交汇形成汇合通道235。如此,使从第一通道233的出口流出的流体的流速与从第二通道234的出口流出的流体的流速反向,从而分别降低了从第一通道233的出口流出的流体的流速,以及从第二通道234的出口流出的流体的流速,因此使流体从逆向进口端231指向逆向出口端232的方向流过每一特斯拉阀单元24时,均受到阻挡作用,使流体的流速降低。In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6, the Tesla valve unit 24 includes a first channel 233 and a second channel 234 located on one side of the first channel 233. The outlet of the first channel 233 and the outlet of the second channel 234 They extend toward the sides closer to each other and meet to form a merging channel 235 . In this way, the flow rate of the fluid flowing out from the outlet of the first channel 233 and the flow rate of the fluid flowing out from the outlet of the second channel 234 are reversed, thereby respectively reducing the flow rate of the fluid flowing out from the outlet of the first channel 233, and from The flow rate of the fluid flowing out of the outlet of the second channel 234 is therefore blocked when the fluid flows through each Tesla valve unit 24 in the direction from the reverse inlet end 231 to the reverse outlet end 232, reducing the flow rate of the fluid.
在一些实施例中,如图7和图8所示,每一特斯拉阀单元组23包括沿第一方向设置的至少两个特斯拉阀单元24,同一特斯拉阀单元组23中相邻的两个特斯拉阀单元24彼此连通。其中,第一方向与特斯拉阀管路20的延伸方向相交设置。如此,通过设置每一特斯拉阀单元组23包括沿第一方向设置的至少两个特斯拉阀单元24,使特斯拉阀管路20中相邻组的特斯拉阀单元24的连接处的数量增加,使得当流体从进液口21指向出液口22的方向流经特斯拉阀管路20时,流体所经过的分叉口和汇合口的数量增加。需要说明,当流体在流道内流动时,其前端的流道面积突然增大或减小都会产生阻力,因此,当流体经过分叉口和汇合口时产生较大的液阻。因此,通过设置每一特斯拉阀单元组23包括沿第一方向设置的至少两个特斯拉阀单元24,使流体通过交错排列的多个分叉口和汇合口,从而进一步提高了特斯拉阀管路20对从进液口21向出液口22流动的流体形成的预设阻力,进一步提高了芯片本体1在高转速条件下工作时,微流控阀门2关闭的稳定性和可靠性。In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , each Tesla valve unit group 23 includes at least two Tesla valve units 24 arranged along the first direction. In the same Tesla valve unit group 23 Two adjacent Tesla valve units 24 are connected to each other. The first direction intersects the extending direction of the Tesla valve pipeline 20 . In this way, by arranging each Tesla valve unit group 23 to include at least two Tesla valve units 24 arranged along the first direction, the adjacent groups of Tesla valve units 24 in the Tesla valve pipeline 20 are The number of connections increases, so that when the fluid flows through the Tesla valve pipeline 20 from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22, the number of bifurcated openings and converging openings that the fluid passes through increases. It should be noted that when the fluid flows in the flow channel, a sudden increase or decrease in the flow channel area at the front end will produce resistance. Therefore, when the fluid passes through the bifurcation port and the confluence port, a large liquid resistance is generated. Therefore, by arranging each Tesla valve unit group 23 to include at least two Tesla valve units 24 arranged along the first direction, the fluid can pass through a plurality of staggered bifurcation ports and merging ports, thereby further improving the characteristics. The preset resistance formed by the Sla valve pipeline 20 on the fluid flowing from the liquid inlet 21 to the liquid outlet 22 further improves the stability and stability of the closing of the microfluidic valve 2 when the chip body 1 operates under high-speed conditions. reliability.
在一些实施例中,如图7和图8所示,同一特斯拉阀单元组23中相邻的两个特斯拉阀单元24沿第一方向交错布设,以使流体从一特斯拉阀单元组23中的特斯拉阀单元24流进相邻特斯拉阀单元组23中的特斯拉阀单元24时,流体前端的流道面积能够突然增大或减小。In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , two adjacent Tesla valve units 24 in the same Tesla valve unit group 23 are staggered along the first direction, so that the fluid flows from one Tesla to When the Tesla valve unit 24 in the valve unit group 23 flows into the Tesla valve unit 24 in the adjacent Tesla valve unit group 23, the flow channel area at the front end of the fluid can suddenly increase or decrease.
在一些实施例中,如图5和图7-8所示,每一特斯拉阀单元组23包括的特斯拉阀单元24的数量可以是1个~3个。另一些实施例中,每一特斯拉阀单元组23包括的特斯拉阀单元24的数量也可以根据使用需要设置,只要能满足对特斯拉阀管路20对从进液口21向出液口22流动的流体形成的预设阻力大小的要求即可,在此不做限定。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIGS. 7-8 , the number of Tesla valve units 24 included in each Tesla valve unit group 23 may be 1 to 3. In other embodiments, the number of Tesla valve units 24 included in each Tesla valve unit group 23 can also be set according to usage needs, as long as it can meet the requirements for the Tesla valve pipeline 20 from the liquid inlet 21 to The preset resistance level formed by the fluid flowing through the liquid outlet 22 is sufficient and is not limited here.
在一些实施例中,微流控阀门2包括毛细阀。In some embodiments, microfluidic valve 2 includes a capillary valve.
在另一些实施例中,微流控阀门2包括疏水阀。需要说明的是,当微流控阀门2采用疏水阀时,对微流控阀门2的表面进行疏水改性。由于微流控阀门2中流道的高度会直接影响微流控阀门2的阻力,因此当需要设置打开微流控阀门2的临界转速极高时,对应的流道的高度极低,导致加工难度加大,此时通过进行疏水改性,能够适当增加微流控阀门2的流 道的高度,降低加工难度。In other embodiments, the microfluidic valve 2 includes a hydrophobic valve. It should be noted that when the microfluidic valve 2 adopts a hydrophobic valve, the surface of the microfluidic valve 2 is hydrophobically modified. Since the height of the flow channel in the microfluidic valve 2 will directly affect the resistance of the microfluidic valve 2, when the critical speed for opening the microfluidic valve 2 needs to be set to be extremely high, the height of the corresponding flow channel will be extremely low, resulting in difficulty in processing. increase, at this time, by performing hydrophobic modification, the flow rate of the microfluidic valve 2 can be appropriately increased. The height of the channel reduces the difficulty of processing.
基于图7所示实施例中提供的微流控阀门2,表一为在给定的圆心距位置上,进行测试,得到的与不同特斯拉阀管路20的高度对应的临界转速。其中,临界转速使微流控阀门2打开时,芯片本体1绕旋转中心轴转动的转速值。为了便于陈述,给定圆心距为旋转中心轴到特斯拉阀管路20的进液口21之间的距离,为3厘米。芯片本体1的材质为PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯),芯片本体1的厚度为1mm,不代表微流控阀门2只能在圆心距3厘米的空间上排布,亦不代表微流控阀门2只能在PMMA上使用,亦不代表芯片厚度只能为1mm。Based on the microfluidic valve 2 provided in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 , Table 1 shows the critical rotation speed corresponding to different heights of the Tesla valve pipeline 20 obtained through testing at a given circle center distance position. Among them, the critical speed is the speed value at which the chip body 1 rotates around the central axis of rotation when the microfluidic valve 2 is opened.
