Description

一种被动式连续振荡射流微混合器A Passive Continuous Oscillating Jet Micromixer

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及微流控芯片与微化工设备中的微流体混合领域,具体是基于对撞射流不稳定性的一种被动式流体连续振荡微混合器。The invention relates to the field of microfluid mixing in microfluidic chips and microchemical equipment, in particular to a passive fluid continuous oscillating micromixer based on the instability of colliding jets.

背景技术Background technique

微混合器是生物微流控设备和化工微反应器系统的重要部件。在微尺度下,由于通道尺寸的限制,流体在低雷诺数条件下作层流流动,流体间的混合以分子扩散为主,因此需要额外的微混合器以提高流体的对流混沌强度,增强系统的混合效率。Micromixers are important components of biological microfluidic equipment and chemical microreactor systems. At the microscale, due to the limitation of channel size, the fluid flows in a laminar flow under low Reynolds number conditions, and the mixing between fluids is dominated by molecular diffusion. Therefore, an additional micro-mixer is needed to increase the convective chaos of the fluid and enhance the system. the mixing efficiency.

常见的微混合器可分为主动式微混合器和被动式微混合器两大类。主动式微混合器是通过添加外部驱动设备(如超声、微波、磁力等)来对微通道内的流体进行扰动,其所施加的外部激励一般是时变的,引发微通道内的流体瞬时运动或振荡,因此混合效果的提升明显,同时降低流动死区范围和堵塞机率。例如中国专利文献CN103638837A公开的混合器将压电振子与流体通道同结合,主动促进流体混合。但主动式微混合器的成本高,与原设备的集成复杂,同时外场能量转化率低,难以大规模应用。Common micromixers can be divided into two categories: active micromixers and passive micromixers. The active micromixer disturbs the fluid in the microchannel by adding external driving equipment (such as ultrasonic, microwave, magnetic force, etc.), and the external excitation applied by it is generally time-varying, causing the fluid in the microchannel to move instantaneously or Oscillation, so the mixing effect is significantly improved, while reducing the flow dead zone and the probability of clogging. For example, the mixer disclosed in Chinese patent document CN103638837A combines a piezoelectric vibrator with a fluid channel to actively promote fluid mixing. However, the cost of active micro-mixers is high, the integration with the original equipment is complicated, and the energy conversion rate of the external field is low, so it is difficult to apply on a large scale.

被动式微混合器则不需要增加额外设备,而是依靠设计特殊的微通道结构来改变通道内的流体运动模式,增大流体间的有效接触面积,缩短分子扩散的距离,以提高混合性能。相比主动式混合器,被动式微混合器实现简单,易于集成,且无需额外的能量输入等优点得到了广泛的应用。然而,目前的被动式微混合的设计多采用改变通道外形曲率(如中国专利文献CN103638853A公开的混合器)或设置通道内部挡块(如中国专利文献CN105771765A公开的混合器)的形式,低雷诺数条件下流场趋于稳态,需要重复设置复杂的通道结构来提高混合强度,且局部稳态的涡流易形成死区,流体频繁与挡块碰撞、曲面摩擦导致较大的压降。Passive micro-mixers do not need to add additional equipment, but rely on the design of a special micro-channel structure to change the fluid movement mode in the channel, increase the effective contact area between fluids, shorten the distance of molecular diffusion, and improve the mixing performance. Compared with active mixers, passive micromixers have been widely used due to their simple implementation, easy integration, and no need for additional energy input. However, the current design of passive micro-mixing mostly adopts the form of changing the curvature of the channel shape (such as the mixer disclosed in Chinese patent document CN103638853A) or setting the internal stopper of the channel (such as the mixer disclosed in Chinese patent document CN105771765A), and the low Reynolds number condition The downstream flow field tends to be in a steady state, and complex channel structures need to be repeatedly set up to increase the mixing intensity, and the local steady-state vortex is easy to form a dead zone, and the fluid frequently collides with the stopper and the friction of the curved surface leads to a large pressure drop.

因此,若能将主动式微混合器的时变流场的特性引入到被动式微混合器中,通过特殊通道结构来引发流体被动式振荡,将大幅提高混合器性能,拓宽被动微混合器的应用范围,提高实际工作和生产效率。Therefore, if the characteristics of the time-varying flow field of the active micro-mixer can be introduced into the passive micro-mixer, and the passive oscillation of the fluid can be induced through a special channel structure, the performance of the mixer will be greatly improved, and the application range of the passive micro-mixer will be broadened. Improve real work and productivity.

Each of the flat plate mixing units has the same structural distribution, including 4 feed inlets, 4 feed channels, 1 collision oscillation chamber, 4 elliptical mixing chambers and 4 discharge ports, shrinking feed channels The opening end of the mixing chamber is connected with the feeding port, and the constricted end of the shrinking feeding channel is connected with the collision oscillation chamber; one end of the mixing chamber is connected with the collision oscillation chamber, and the other end is connected with the discharge port. The 4 fluids to be mixed enter through the inlet of the bottom mixing unit, and after passing through multiple mixing units, they flow out from the 4 outlets of the upper cover to complete the mixing process.

进一步的,每个混合单元具有相同的对称结构,流体经4个十字排布的收缩进料通道形成射流,由于射流的不稳定性,射流在单元中心对撞后发生振荡,形成交替转向的涡流进入椭圆混合腔,显著增大了流体间的接触面积和对流强度。多个混合单元的连接叠加重复引发射流振荡过程,实现流体的连续振荡混合。Furthermore, each mixing unit has the same symmetrical structure, and the fluid passes through four constricted feeding channels arranged in a cross to form jets. Due to the instability of the jets, the jets oscillate after colliding at the center of the unit, forming alternately turning vortices Entering the elliptical mixing chamber, the contact area and convection intensity between fluids are significantly increased. The connection and superposition of multiple mixing units repeatedly triggers the jet oscillation process to realize the continuous oscillation mixing of the fluid.

进一步的,相邻平板式混合单元间,上一混合单元的出料口与下一混合单元的进料通道相连,即相对于上一混合单元,通道结构以对撞振荡腔中心为轴旋转45度;多个平板式混合单元和一个上盖板依次连接,混合单元的个数n≥2,多个混合单元的连接叠加重复引发射流振荡过程,实现流体的连续振荡混合。Further, between adjacent flat-plate mixing units, the discharge port of the previous mixing unit is connected to the feed channel of the next mixing unit, that is, relative to the previous mixing unit, the channel structure rotates 45° with the center of the collision oscillation chamber as the axis. Degree; multiple flat mixing units and an upper cover are connected in sequence, the number of mixing units is n≥2, and the connection and superposition of multiple mixing units repeatedly triggers the jet oscillation process to realize continuous oscillation mixing of fluids.

进一步的,所述的每个平板混合单元上,4个进料通道呈十字排布,相邻进料通道相互垂直,间隔的进料通道共线,形成两对迎面对撞的流体。4个椭圆形混合腔分别位于在每两个相邻进料通道之间,彼此相互垂直,与相邻进料通道间夹角为45度。进料通道和出料通道汇聚到平板中心的对撞振荡腔,对撞振荡腔中心到进料通道前端的距离等于其到椭圆形混合腔的末端的距离,使整个混合单元布局呈中心对称。Further, on each flat plate mixing unit, 4 feeding channels are arranged in a cross, adjacent feeding channels are perpendicular to each other, and the separated feeding channels are collinear, forming two pairs of head-on-colliding fluids. The four elliptical mixing chambers are respectively located between every two adjacent feed channels, perpendicular to each other, and the angle between them and the adjacent feed channels is 45 degrees. The feed channel and the discharge channel converge into the colliding oscillation chamber at the center of the plate, and the distance from the center of the colliding oscillation chamber to the front end of the feed channel is equal to the distance from it to the end of the elliptical mixing chamber, so that the layout of the entire mixing unit is centrally symmetrical.

进一步的,所述的每个平板混合单元上,进料通道平行于混合单元截面为梯形,4个进料通道的宽度沿着流动方向逐渐减小,末端通往对撞腔,该对撞腔尺寸(等于两个相向进料通道间的距离)至少大于5倍进料通道收缩端的宽度,以形成射流并引发射流的不稳定性。4个进料通道长度相同,形状全等;椭圆形混合腔平行于混合单元截面为椭圆形,沿椭圆长轴的一端与对撞振荡腔相连,另一端与出料口连接,4个椭圆椭混合腔尺寸相同,形状全等。混合腔与对撞振荡腔的连接处(入口)宽度同样应至少大于5倍进料通道收缩端的宽度,且整体呈近似椭圆型,以使振动流体充分发展。混合腔末端即为圆形出料口,其半径与进料口相同,方便流体进入到下一混合单元。Further, on each flat plate mixing unit, the feed channel parallel to the cross section of the mixing unit is trapezoidal, the width of the four feed channels gradually decreases along the flow direction, and the end leads to the collision chamber, and the collision chamber The dimension (equal to the distance between two facing feed channels) is at least 5 times greater than the width of the constricted ends of the feed channels to form jets and induce jet instability. The 4 feeding channels have the same length and congruent shape; the elliptical mixing chamber is elliptical in parallel to the section of the mixing unit, one end along the long axis of the ellipse is connected to the collision oscillation chamber, and the other end is connected to the discharge port, and the 4 elliptical elliptical The mixing chambers are of the same size and congruent in shape. The width of the junction (inlet) between the mixing chamber and the collision oscillation chamber should also be at least 5 times larger than the width of the constricted end of the feed channel, and the overall shape should be approximately elliptical so that the vibrating fluid can fully develop. The end of the mixing chamber is a circular discharge port with the same radius as the feed port, which facilitates the fluid to enter the next mixing unit.

The present invention increases the flow velocity of the fluid after passing through the shrinking feed channel, increases the local Reynolds number, and sprays it out in a relatively large-sized collision chamber to form a jet. Multiple jets converge and collide, increasing the turbulent intensity of the flow field .

2.4股流体经进料通道在单元中心对撞腔相遇,引发了射流的不稳定性,每股冲出进料通道的流体与另外3股流体对撞后,交替地进入两侧的椭圆混合腔,形成周期性振荡,此时不同流体持续相互交错,显著增大了流体间的接触面积。该效应随着振荡频率的增加而提高。2. Four streams of fluids meet in the collision chamber in the center of the unit through the feed channel, causing the instability of the jet flow. After each fluid rushing out of the feed channel collides with the other 3 streams of fluid, it enters the elliptical mixing chamber on both sides alternately , forming a periodic oscillation. At this time, different fluids continue to intersect with each other, which significantly increases the contact area between fluids. This effect increases with increasing oscillation frequency.

3.流体以交替涡流的形式进入混合腔,由于混合器的椭圆形结构,涡流并在通道内进一步发展,带动四周流体旋转运动,显著提高流体对流强度,促进流体快速混合。3. The fluid enters the mixing chamber in the form of alternating vortex. Due to the elliptical structure of the mixer, the vortex further develops in the channel, driving the surrounding fluid to rotate, which significantly improves the fluid convection intensity and promotes rapid fluid mixing.

5.本发明的混合器结构简单,不含挡板或大曲率通道等复杂结构,有效地控制了流体的压降损失,且死区少。5. The mixer of the present invention has a simple structure and does not contain complex structures such as baffles or large curvature channels, effectively controls the pressure drop loss of the fluid, and has less dead zone.

6.本发明混合机制基于瞬时变化流场,射流的振荡方向及涡流旋转方向均随时间作周期性变化,可有效降低死区范围与发生机率。6. The mixing mechanism of the present invention is based on the instantaneously changing flow field, and the oscillation direction of the jet and the rotation direction of the vortex are periodically changed with time, which can effectively reduce the dead zone range and occurrence probability.

7.本发明的混合器可方便耦合多个平板混合单元,可在多个混合单元中重复引发射流振荡过程,提高混合效率。7. The mixer of the present invention can be conveniently coupled to a plurality of flat mixing units, and can repeatedly induce the jet oscillation process in a plurality of mixing units to improve mixing efficiency.

8.本发明的混合器流体的振荡频率和混合效率随着反应器整体尺寸的减小而升高,符合设备微型化趋势以及微观混合的需求。8. The oscillation frequency and mixing efficiency of the mixer fluid of the present invention increase with the reduction of the overall size of the reactor, which meets the trend of equipment miniaturization and the demand for microscopic mixing.

流体在混合单元的混合强化机制参见图4所示。流体经过收缩进料通道2-1~2-4后形成射流,流体在对撞振荡腔2-5中进行碰撞和相互作用,由于射流的不稳定性,流体无法维持稳态流动,而是形成了瞬态周期性振荡。以一个振荡周期T为例,在0~0.5T时段,由进料通道2-1~2-4射出的流体沿其左侧进行偏离,进入左侧的椭圆形混合腔2-6~2-9,腔体中心形成顺时针旋转的涡流。在0.5~1T时段,由进料通道2-1~2-4射出的流体改为沿其右侧进行偏离,进入右侧的椭圆形混合腔2-6~2-9,腔体中心形成逆时针旋转的涡流。该周期性振荡特性使由相邻进料通道2-1~2-4流出的流体交替的进入中间椭圆形混合腔2-6~2-9,这将极大地提高两股流体的接触面积,有效提高混合效率。另一方面,进入椭圆形混合腔2-6~2-9的流体,由于在离心力的作用下沿着椭圆壁面偏离并形成涡流,涡流在椭圆形混合腔2-6~2-9内不断发展,对四周的流体起到旋转搅拌作用,显著提高腔内对流强度。随着对撞振荡腔2-5内流体的振荡,涡流的旋转方向也在交替改变,流场的瞬时变化提高混合效率同时降低了死区的发生概率。流体的振荡频率可通过改变混合单元进料通道2-1~2-4、对撞振荡腔2-5以及椭圆形混合腔2-6~2-9的尺寸进行调节,以达到最优的混合效率。The mixing enhancement mechanism of the fluid in the mixing unit is shown in Figure 4. The fluid forms a jet after passing through the shrinking feed channels 2-1 to 2-4, and the fluid collides and interacts in the collision oscillation chamber 2-5. Due to the instability of the jet, the fluid cannot maintain a steady flow, but forms a a transient periodic oscillation. Taking an oscillation period T as an example, during the period of 0-0.5T, the fluids ejected from the feed channels 2-1-2-4 deviate along the left side and enter the left elliptical mixing chambers 2-6-2- 9. A clockwise vortex is formed in the center of the cavity. During the period of 0.5-1T, the fluids ejected from the feed channels 2-1-2-4 deviate along the right side instead, and enter the oval mixing chamber 2-6-2-9 on the right side, forming an inversion in the center of the chamber. A vortex that rotates clockwise. The periodic oscillation characteristic makes the fluids flowing out from the adjacent feeding channels 2-1~2-4 alternately enter the middle elliptical mixing chamber 2-6~2-9, which will greatly increase the contact area of the two fluids, Effectively improve mixing efficiency. On the other hand, the fluid entering the elliptical mixing chamber 2-6~2-9 deviates along the elliptical wall surface under the action of centrifugal force and forms a vortex, and the vortex continuously develops in the elliptical mixing chamber 2-6~2-9 , to rotate and stir the surrounding fluid, and significantly improve the convection intensity in the cavity. With the oscillation of the fluid in the collision oscillation chamber 2-5, the rotation direction of the vortex is also alternately changed, and the instantaneous change of the flow field improves the mixing efficiency and reduces the occurrence probability of the dead zone. The oscillation frequency of the fluid can be adjusted by changing the size of the mixing unit feed channel 2-1~2-4, the collision oscillation chamber 2-5 and the oval mixing chamber 2-6~2-9 to achieve optimal mixing efficiency.
