Two=stage multilayer micro-valve - has central flexible tongue in first stage for direction of fluid into two chambers with outlet and return ports, respectively
A structured central wafer (30) e.g. of Si is sandwiched between upper and lower coatings (31, 32) which are shaped to enclose two parts (33, 34) of a chamber (35). Centred in the inlet port (22) is a flexible tongue (10) with a piezoelectric or thermally sensitive film (101) on its end facing the w...

Zusammenfassung: | A structured central wafer (30) e.g. of Si is sandwiched between upper and lower coatings (31, 32) which are shaped to enclose two parts (33, 34) of a chamber (35). Centred in the inlet port (22) is a flexible tongue (10) with a piezoelectric or thermally sensitive film (101) on its end facing the wedge-shaped tip (11) of the wafer (30). - The fluid is guided into either chamber (33 or 34) by deflection of the tongue (10). In the second stage (2) the wedge (11) prevents formation of vortices. |
