Problems solved by technology

Because the gas generated by the electrode is stored in the electrode chamber, the pump needs to be stopped regularly during work to discharge the gas generated by the electrode, so it cannot work continuously for a long time
The porous core column is fixed in the middle of the pump body with glue, and the porous core column cannot be replaced regularly when needed, so that the pump cannot be used for a lon

Example Embodiment

[0012] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention is provided with a pump body 1. The pump body can be a unit assembly type or a continuous integrated structure. A fluid channel is arranged in the pump body. At least 3 positive and negative electrode chambers 2 are arranged in the fluid channel. It is filled with electrolyte solution, and a porous core 3 is arranged between every two electrode chambers. The porous core has a positive or negative charge on the surface and has a thickness of 0.5-10 mm. Each electrode chamber is connected to a power source E through a conductor 4. The conductor 4 may be an electronic conductor, or a composite of an ion conductor and an electronic conductor. The ion conductor can use anion / cation exchange resin membrane / belt, and the electronic conductor can use reversible electrodes, such as Ag / AgCl, Ag / Ag 2 O and other electrodes.

[0013] The number of electrode chambers is preferably an odd number. The front and rear ends of the pump body ar...

Abstract

At least three electrode chambers with positive and negative electrodes being alternated are set up in the flow channel in the pump body. The honeycomb core is set up between every two electrode-chambers. Each electrode-chamber through the electric conductor is connected to the electrical power. The electrolyte solution is filled into the electrode-chamber. The pump body can be in the structure of the assembled type, the concatenation or chip type. Flow channel can be tube type, the canal or the chip micro channel. The invention possesses the features of easy of assembly, fast response, low voltage driving, wide range of flux and long service life etc. The pump can be utilized as the fluid-driving pump in the injection system applying to the areas of chemical engineering, biomedicine and environmental monitoring.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device utilizing electroosmotic flow, in particular to a miniature electroosmotic pump. (2) Background technology [0002] The flow injection system of the fluid-driven pump using the electroosmotic flow method is widely used in the fields of chemical engineering, biomedicine, and environmental monitoring. Micropumps mainly include thin-film micromechanical pumps, electro-hydraulic driven pumps, surface tension driven pumps, hot bubble driven pumps, and centrifugal force driven pumps. Among them, the micropumps that use electroosmosis as the driving force mainly represent the micropumps invented by Parce John Wallace ( USP 6012902), Zanzucchi et al. invented miniature electric power pumps (WO 9743629A, CN1193927A). This kind of micropump mainly uses high voltage to drive electroosmotic flow in the microchannel, and requires additional high-voltage power supply equipment, which cannot miniaturize the overall instrument. ...
