There are several designs that are micro-motor systems or "M EMS" types. Obviously, it is better to drive this valve using heat or static electricity. In both cases, the slit or its type of opening is opened Placed in the open or closed position, the structure is based on the type of shutter to allow and prevent fluid from flowing out. Typically, the lateral movement of the shutter of the conventional technology is linear. The lateral movement of the shutter can also be linear ( (I.e., rotating), such as the independent provisional patent application 6 0/6 '6 2 5' is named Microvalve For Controlling 1 Flow ", which is owned by the assignee of the present invention, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Description of the invention (2) Therefore, the actuator needs a larger Electricity. In addition, the 394 patent is a semiconductor valve whose electrical action is a thermal reaction, which includes and includes a cantilever-shaped deformation element 'which is deformed by resistance heating. It can be further understood that although the micro valve disclosed in the article can be used Any environment 'but one of the special applications is in the field of metal-air batteries. Metal-air electricity Has a decisive advantage over its various electrochemical cells 'such as typical alkaline (zinc / manganese dioxide) or lithium fluids. Metal-air batteries make gaseous agents' like oxygen or air, it does not need to be like solid substrates Ground is stored in the battery. Gas-acting substances can enter the battery through holes or holes in the battery case. Therefore, 'metal-air batteries have higher energy ^! Degrees (watts per unit mass)' result in higher power Output and lighter weight. Particularly useful in applications that require light batteries, it can provide more energy in the same package volume or the same energy in smaller packages. Metal-air batteries are also environmentally safe and do not leak in general. : Metal-air batteries are made from one or more tritium chemical batteries. Each battery typically includes a metal anode and an air cathode, and has an insulator to electrically insulate the two. An electrolyte is present in the anode, the cathode, and the insulator. The metal anode is generally composed of fine metal powder, such as, but not limited to, zinc, aluminum, or magnesium, mixed with an aqueous electrolyte such as potassium hydroxide and gelatinized to form a paste. The cathode of the air has a catalytic structure, and its design is favorable for reducing gas. It is typically composed of activated carbon, a binder, and a catalyst, and the current collector of the M metal is formed into a sheet shape. Air cathodes usually contain water-based polymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene or polypropylene: diol, which are directly added to the paper.

Description of the invention (3) Pole-in-chip and / or made into the same range film (c 0 e X tensveve 1 rn). Water-repellent polymer prevents electrolyte from leaking out of the battery through the cathode. In a metal-air battery, oxygen, through a series of reactions, interacts with the metal in the battery to generate an electric current. For example, in a zinc-air battery, oxygen generates a charge / discharge reaction at the cathode (positive electrode): 1/2 〇 2 + Η 2 〇 + 2 e-+ 2 〇Η —_ At the same time, the charge / discharge occurs at the anode / Discharge reaction is (negative electrode)

The ambient air enters through the air holes in the enclosure. Inside the enclosure, the oxygen in the surrounding air reacts with the battery. The oxygen in the air is exhausted and leaves the enclosure. Therefore, the ambient air entering or being sucked into the outer power is sufficient to obtain the desired power output. However, allowing the surrounding air to flow freely into the metal-air battery will cause several problems, which will reduce the efficiency of the metal-air battery: reduce, or cause the battery to comply with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 7 of 7). (Mm), Xiang -------- Order --------- line- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) -6-460664 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (4 ) Early failure. First, the ambient air entering the electrochemical cell will continue to react with the anode, regardless of whether the battery provides power to the load. Therefore, unless air is removed when the battery is not supplying power to the load, the battery's capacity will continue to decrease. Another problem with allowing the surrounding air to flow freely as a substrate is that it is difficult to maintain proper humidity in the battery. The equilibrium vapor pressure of metal-air batteries is derived from balanced relative humidity, which is typically about 50-60%. If the humidity of the surrounding environment is greater than the equilibrium relative humidity of the metal-air battery, the metal-air battery will absorb the moisture in the air passing through the cathode, and the battery will fail due to a condition called flooding, which will also cause The battery is leaking. If the ambient humidity is less than the equilibrium relative humidity of the metal-air battery, the metal-air battery will release water vapor 'from the electrolyte through the air cathode and will fail due to drying. In addition, impurities in the surrounding air, such as carbon dioxide, can also reduce the capacity of the battery. Therefore, in order to make the operation of metal-air batteries more efficient and longer-lived, the inflow of ambient air should be controlled 'so that air will only enter the battery when the battery provides electrical energy to the load. '· ·· Design air exchange control for metal-air batteries, and control the system to control the flow of air into and out of the metal-air batteries for the following reasons: (1) to prevent continuous battery reactions; (2) to prevent battery humidity changes ; And (3) prevent the carbon dioxide from entering the battery when the battery does not provide electricity to the load. Some designs, such as' use a mechanism that is physically operated by the user, a valve or hole cover is attached to the switch that opens the electrical device, so when the switch moves, the cover also opens.

The automatic air exchange system is contained in the battery and does not require user's operation. However, it is typically a parasitic source of severe energy capacity of the battery, which will also shorten the battery life. One such design is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,1 7 7 1 3 2 7 issued to Mathews et al. On December 4, 1979, entitled `` Metal-Air Battery Power Having Electrically Operated Air Access Vent Cover '', which uses A valve cover, combined with an electrically operated double: metal actuator, is used to cover the air entry hole when the battery is not in use. Its action is to apply a current to the bimetal actuator to heat the bimetal, and the system will bend or lower by the thermal expansion coefficient of the hole. However, electrical actuators are a substantial source of parasitic consumption of metal-air batteries and can reduce battery life.

The preferred embodiment of the present invention, printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, includes an electrostatically driven MEMS microvalve designed to control fluid flow. In this application, the term "electrostatic drive" means that the drive mechanism is derived from a fixed charge generated by an electrostatic potential between two surfaces. This is different from thermally driven microvalves. Thermally driven microvalves use resistive elements that provide the thermal energy required to drive the valve. This resistance element is the drain of the battery or other power source to drive the valve. The magnetic or inductive system uses a continuous current in the loop to generate an external magnetic field, and then the magnetic force is generated by the magnetic field. However, the electrostatic valve uses the electricity in the battery: the charge to drive the valve 'so -------- order ------------ line 1 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (2) 〇χ_297 mm) -15-4 60664

Description of the invention (14) The shape of the shutter 12 is preferably substantially circular, and includes a main circular portion 2 6 and an extension 2 8 extending from the main circular portion 26. The shutter 1 2 is based on an axis. The point 24 is the axis about which it rotates, and the impact portion 30 extends from the main circular portion 26 in the direction opposite to the axis point 24. Although the shutter 丄 2 shown in the figure is a circular structure ', it must be understood that as long as the shutter 1 2 is aligned with the hole 1 8 in the main body 邰 1 4 when it is in the closed position, it is not aligned with the hole 18 when it is in the open position. Any shape can be used. In this way, a short distance can be obtained by turning the I central door 1 2 around the shaft. A larger entire valve hole can be obtained. This design minimizes the distance required to move the shutter 12 to minimize the power required to drive the microvalve 丄 〇. When the power required to drive the microvalve 10 can be reduced to a certain level, it is allowed to use electrostatic drive technology, such as μ E M S. It must be understood that ′ Although the impact comb drives 20 and 22 of the driving mechanism are better designed with an electrostatic type, driving mechanisms of conventional technologies such as thermal, magnetic, or piezoelectric can also be used. As can be understood from Figures 1 and 2, the relative positions of the impact comb drives 20 and 22 of the driving mechanism and the shutter 1 €, when they move in the directions shown by arrows 3 2 and 34 respectively, _., Can Touched its impact part 30. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, each of the percussion comb drives 20 and 22 also includes a plurality of suspended basic fingers 2 1 and a plurality of fixed fingers 2 3 ′. When a potential is applied between the two to generate an electrostatic force, the base finger 21 is pulled toward the fixed finger 23. In addition, each electrostatic comb drive 20 and 22 is configured with ..-impact beam 25.

Description of the invention (16) A protrusion 4 6 is provided at the tip, which is also used to limit the shutter 丄 2 and the body Airflow between the 1 and 4 sections. It should be understood that the projection 46 extends from the lower surface of the shutter 丄 2 'and is preferably located at the edge of the shutter 12. As mentioned earlier, the shutter 2 (preferably made of compound silicon) preferably has a plurality of small holes 1 5. When the shutter 12 is in the closed position, a predetermined amount of airflow is allowed to pass through the shutter i 2. The hole i 5 has a dual purpose, which can be used to provide an acid (such as hydrofluoric acid) 'and thus release the initial oxide layer between the shutter 12 and the body portion 14 (preferably made of sand), which is a conventional technique . In this way, the oxide can be released in a more uniform manner than from only the sides. Therefore, the structure and size of the 'shutter hole 15' are designed to maximize the dual functions of bleed and uniform oxide release. It should also be understood that changing the protrusions 4 6 can also control the leaked flow rate, so that only a portion of the periphery of the shutter i 2 can leak, for example in a curved section. From Figure 1-2, it can be understood that during operation, the micro valve 10 is electrostatically actuated between the first (closed) position and the first (open) position. The base finger 2 '1 and the static force generated between the fixed fingers 2 3 make the impact truss 25 fast. The impact portion 3 0 of the door makes the shutter Γ 2 around the axis point with sufficient force. 2 4 Turn counterclockwise to reach the position adjacent to the second stop 38. It must be understood that the impact comb drive 20 or the impact comb drive 2 2 is powered only during the time when the shutter 12 position is changed, and the time does not exceed about 1 millisecond. The second embodiment of the microvalve of the present invention is represented by the reference number 100, as shown in FIG. 5-10. It can be seen from the figure that the structure of _microvalve 1 〇〇. Is similar to that of 徴 valve] 0, and also includes shutter 1 1 2, · 'adjacent to the main body 1 1 This paper size applies to Chinese national standards (CNS> A4 specifications) (210 X 297 mm) ------------- Clothing -------- Order · -------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this Page) -19- 4 60664 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (17) 4 and substantially parallel to it, the body part 1 1 4 has at least one hole 1 1 8. The micro valve 1 0 0 also includes a driving mechanism, In the following, more specifically, the shutter 1 12 is rotated about the axis with respect to the main body 1 1 4 so that the shutter 1 12 is aligned or staggered with the hole 1 1 8 of the main body 1 1 4. The micro valve 1 0 0 is in the closed position and the open position respectively. As discussed for the micro valve 10, the shutter 1 1 2 rotates around the axis as the shutter 1 1 2 moves around the axis 1 2 4 travels in an arc (in order to Arrows 1 丨 6). As shown in Figures 5 and 7, 'Shutter 1 1 2 is in the closed position (that is, shutter 1 1 2 is aligned with the hole 1 1 8 in the main body 1 1 4 to prevent the fluid from flowing through roughly. ) 'Must be rotated clockwise to reach the figure The open position depicted in 6 i 8. On the contrary, the shutter 1 1 2 must be rotated counterclockwise to return to the closed position. The shape of the shutter 1 1 2 is preferably substantially circular, including the main round portion 1 2 6 and The substantially circular portion 1 2 8 extending from the main circular portion 1 2 6, the shutter i " rotates around the pivot point, 2 4. Let Mu see that '部 工 2 8 has a hole 1 3 3 so that it can be Rotate around the pivot 榘; b 4 · _ 1 .. It also has a plurality of teeth 1 3 0 ′ located on at least part of the circumference. Therefore, the portion 1 2 8 is referred to herein as a rotating gear. Description of 1 2 'The shutter 1 1 2 is a circular structure, but any shape that is aligned with the hole 1 1 8 of the main body 1 1 4 in the closed position and staggered with the hole 1 1 8 in the open position is required. Can be used. The difference from the drive mechanism of the micro valve 10 is that the drive mechanism of the micro valve 100 does not use an impact method to cause the shutter 1 i 2 to rotate around the axis. Instead, it is a comb drive 1 2 0 and 1 2 2 (using (Static design is better), when this paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2) ο X 297 Please note this page before filling in this page) Packing -------- Order ------ I--Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs-20-4 6 0 6 6 4 A7 B7 5 Explanation of the invention (18) When moving in the directions shown by arrows 1 2 and 1 · 3 4 respectively, it interfaces with a rotating gear shaft 1 3 6 having a plurality of teeth 1 3 8. More specifically, the way in which the comb drives 1 2 0 and 1 2 2 interact with the rotating gear shaft 1 3 6 'is similar to what Ernest J. Garcia and Jeffery Sniegowski of Sandia National Laboratories famously called " Surface M ic _ omachined M icroengine's report. By interfacing with the rotating gear shaft 1 3 6 in this way, the rotating gear shaft 1 3 6 is caused to rotate (in the direction shown by the arrow 1 35). Similar to the impact comb drives 20 and 22, each comb drive 1 20 and 1 22 includes a plurality of suspended basic fingers 1 2 1 and a plurality of fixed fingers 1 2 3, where, when When a potential is applied between the two and an electrostatic force is generated, the base finger 1 2 1 is pulled toward the fixed finger 1 2 3. In addition, 'each comb drive 1 2 0 and 1 2 2 is provided with a truss 1 2 5' the direction of the truss 1 2 5 is substantially parallel to the direction of the base finger 1 2 1 'and interfaces with the rotating gear shaft 1 3 6 'And move in the directions of arrows 1 2 3 and 1 3 4. The first and second elastic cross beams 1 2 7 and 彳 2. +9 are connected to the-truss 1 2 5 and are fixed 'in order to suspend the comb drive ,, 1 2 0 and 1 2 2 (see Fig. 10) . As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the 'rotating gear shaft 1 3 6 is directly connected through the teeth 1 3 8 and the plurality of teeth 1 2 0 of the rotating gear 1 2 8 of the shutter 1 1 2: In this way, when the gear shaft 1 is rotated 3 6 When the comb drive 1 2 0 and] 2 2 are driven to rotate, the shutter 1 1 2 is caused to rotate about the axis. Another example of the drive mechanism of the micro valve 1 ◦ 0 includes a spur gear 1 4 0 between the rotating gear shaft 1 3 6 and the rotating gear 1 2 8 'It can be seen from Figures 7 and 8 that this paper scale is applicable to China National Standards (CN fine grid ⑵0, Hu Ge (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ^ --- I I --- Order ------- --Line 1C ------------------------- 4 6 0 6 6 4 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (19) 'Spur gear 1 4 0 It has a first set of teeth 1 4 2, which is located on the first side 1 4 4 ′ and interacts with a tooth 1 3 8 of the rotating gear shaft 1 3 6, and a second set of teeth 1 4 6, which is located on the second side 1 4 8, and The teeth 1 3 0 of the rotating gear 1 2 8 interact. Therefore, when the rotating gear shaft 1 3 6 rotates clockwise, the spur gear 1 4 0 moves upward, thereby causing the rotating gear 1 2 8 to rotate counterclockwise, and Rotate the shutter 1 1 2 from the open position to the closed position. When the rotating gear shaft 1 3 6 rotates counterclockwise, the 'straight tooth · wheel 1 4 0 moves downwards, so that the rotating gear 1 2 8 is clockwise Turn and move the shutter 1 1 2 from the closed position The shaft rotates to the open position. Because the drive mechanism of the micro valve 100 is non-impact type, it is very precise. There is no situation like the micro valve 100 is turned too far or not enough. Therefore, no stop is required, and the micro valve 1 is partially opened. 0 〇 is very easy. Driving the shutter 1 1 2 in this way can also overcome some of the torque problems of the micro valve 10.

More specifically,' the rotating gear 1 2 8 attached to the shutter 1 1 2 includes a hole 1 3 3, sleeved on Pivot frame 1 4 1 is up and held in place with —shaft cover 1 4 5. Therefore, when '® shutter 1 1 2 is rotated around it, pivot frame 1 4 1 remains stationary.

Description of the invention (20 holes 1 1 7 'are like holes 1 5 on the shutter 12 (see Figure 6). The size and structure of these holes 1 1 7 are also designed to maximize flow and allow acid to release the dual function between the shutter 12 and the body 14. During operation, the micro valve 1 0 0 is in the first (closed) position and opened) and the force generated by the straight door 1 10 is driven by the i position of the drive shaft 1 through the base electrostatic force 2 2 between the positions.
