[0002] During textile manufacturing, formaldehyde may be used as a finishing agent, color fixative, or cross-linking agent to improve properties such as wrinkle resistance, color fastness, and shrinkage resistance. However, excessive formaldehyde residues can cause adverse effects on human health, such as irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Therefore, accurately measuring formaldehyde content in textiles is crucial.

[0025] To better understand the above technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a clearer and more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A microfluidic chip for formaldehyde detection in textiles includes a rotating hole 1 located in the central area and a plurality of detection units 2 evenly arranged along the circumferential direction. The detection unit 2 is provided with a sample addition port 21, a test chamber 22, and a detection chamber 23 from the inside out. The sample addition port 21, the test chamber 22, and the detection chamber 23 are sequentially connected. Figure 2 It can be seen that the communication hole 26 between the test chamber 22 and the detection chamber 23 is located in the upper area of ​​the test chamber 22 , that is, before rotation, the sample solution in the sample injection port 21 will not flow into the detection chamber 23 through the test chamber 22 .

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the detection unit 2 also includes an air channel 24 and an air hole 25. One end of the air channel 24 is connected to the connecting hole 26 between the test chamber 22 and the detection chamber 23, and the other end is connected to the air hole 25. The air channel 24 extends toward the center of the rotating hole 1, and the air hole 25 is closer to the rotating hole 1 than the sample injection port 21. Therefore, when the sample solution is added to the microfluidic chip, the air pressure inside the chip is balanced through the air hole 25.

[0029] In this embodiment, the microfluidic chip is circular as a whole, and the sample addition port 21, the test chamber 22 and the detection chamber 23 on all the detection units 2 are respectively on a concentric circle; on each detection unit 2, the arrangement direction of the sample addition port 21, the test chamber 22 and the detection chamber 23 is coaxial with the diameter of the concentric circle where the detection chamber 23 is located, so as to realize synchronous detection of all detection units 2.

[0030] Specifically, the microfluidic chip has 20 detection units 2, wherein the sample port 21, the detection chamber 23 and the air hole 25 are circular, the test chamber 22 is runway-shaped, and the arc ends on both sides of the test chamber 22 are connected to the sample port 21 and the detection chamber 23 respectively. Among them, the overall diameter of the microfluidic chip is 80mm, the diameter of the sample port 21 is 2mm, the width of the test chamber 22 is 3.4mm, the diameter of the detection chamber 23 is 5.94mm, and the diameter of the air hole 25 is 1.5mm. In other equivalent embodiments, the diameter of the sample port 21 is 1.0-3.0mm, the width of the test chamber 22 is 3.0-5.0mm, the diameter of the detection chamber 23 is 5.0-10.0mm, and the diameter of the air hole 25 is 1.4-1.6mm.

[0031] Thus, the test chamber 22 is used to pre-place phloroglucinol, and the detection chamber 23 is used to pre-place sodium hydroxide. Both are pre-embedded in the detection unit 2 by simple drying. When the sample solution is added to the sample inlet 21, the entire unit rotates through the rotating hole 1, driving the fluid through centrifugal force, and transferring the sample solution from the sample inlet 21 to the test chamber 22 and the detection chamber 23.

[0032] It should be noted that when the microfluidic chip of this embodiment is used in a microfluidic speed meter, a corresponding rotating mechanism is provided on the microfluidic speed meter to be connected to the rotating hole 1 to drive the microfluidic chip to rotate; the microfluidic speed meter is provided with a corresponding cover plate covering the microfluidic chip except for the position of the rotating hole 1 on the microfluidic chip, and the cover plate is provided with through holes at the positions corresponding to the air holes 25 and the sample addition port 21 to add sample solution and discharge gas; at the same time, a flow resistance valve is also provided between adjacent detection units 2 for isolation, thereby realizing separate detection of each detection unit 2.

[0033] Therefore, the utility model uses the phloroglucinol system to perform formaldehyde color development, and increases the detection efficiency by designing multiple detection units 2. For each detection unit 2, the fluid is driven by centrifugal force, thereby simplifying the operation steps and improving the detection flux and efficiency, thereby improving the simplicity and detection efficiency of formaldehyde detection in textiles.
