Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of micro-flow fluid management systems, and particularly relates to a miniature micro-flow controller based on LTCC.

Background

The micro-flow controller is a core component of a precise fluid management system, and directly determines the control precision of micro-flow, for example, a flow controller of an electric propulsion xenon supply system of a spacecraft directly determines the performance and the service life of an electric thruster. Because the specific impulse of the electric thruster is high, the consumed working medium flow is very small (mu g/s-mg/s magnitude), and therefore a micro-flow controller is required to have ultrahigh flow resistance. Micro-flow controllers typically achieve ultra-high flow resistance through complex and lengthy fluid channels (e.g., capillary type, porous metal sintered type, and multi-layer orifice plate type, etc.). Chinese patent CN201410494807.5 discloses a micro-flow restrictor comprising a capillary flow channel core, which can realize different throttling effects by changing the shape of the capillary; chinese patent CN200710018593.4 discloses a micro-flow controller using a metal porous material core, which uses the pores in the porous material to realize flow control; chinese patents CN201410340367.8, CN201410339131.2 and CN201810227475.2 disclose a micro-flow controller using a multi-layer metal orifice plate, which performs micro-channel processing by metal etching, laser drilling and other methods, and then performs fabrication of three-dimensional fluid channels by diffusion welding. The micro-flow throttleer is made of metal materials, and is difficult to miniaturize and lighten products; in addition, special precision machining and welding processes (such as electrochemical etching, laser drilling, diffusion welding and the like) are involved in the production link of the product, the machining difficulty is high, the cost is high, and the period is long. Therefore, the conventional micro-flow controller cannot be miniaturized and lightened, which becomes a bottleneck restricting further expansion of its application.

It can be seen from fig. 5 that the internal flow channels are closed after lamination.

As shown in fig. 6, the process of manufacturing a micro-flow controller based on LTCC according to the present invention can be divided into five steps:

the first step is cutting and punching. Cutting 9 squares on a raw porcelain belt special for LTCC (the thickness is generally 80-100 mu m), and then respectively processing 9 square raw porcelain sheets with corresponding small holes and fine grooves as shown in figure 6 by using methods such as mechanical punching or laser punching; the whole green ceramic wafer can be processed with a plurality of same micro-channel arrays to achieve the purpose of processing a plurality of devices at one time, and each wafer in fig. 6 is provided with 16 same micro-channels.

And the second step is filling and silk-screen printing. The 5 th layer to the 9 th layer are fluid layers, and sacrificial materials (generally carbon-based materials) are filled in the micro channels and the through holes on the 5 th layer to support the micro channels, so that deformation is avoided in the sintering process, and the sacrificial materials can be automatically volatilized after high-temperature sintering; the 1 st layer to the 4 th layer are heating layers, the central round hole of each heating layer needs to be filled with a sacrificial material, the rest through holes need to be filled with a conductive material (copper, steel and the like), and meanwhile, the 2 nd layer and the 4 th layer need to be screen-printed with spiral metal wires to form a coil for heating.

The third step is lamination and static pressing. The layers 1 to 9 are orderly stacked together according to the sequence of figure 6, then the green ceramic sheets are laminated and are subjected to static pressure forming at 90-150 ℃ and under the pressure of 10-20 MPa for 10-20 minutes generally, and the 9 layers of green ceramic sheets after lamination are firmly bonded under high pressure.

The fourth step is high temperature sintering. Sintering at high temperature (generally 450-850 deg.C) for 200-300 min to make the raw porcelain material become cooked porcelain with high strength, volatilizing sacrificial material and forming micro-channel.

The fifth step is shear forming. The sintered 9 layers of ceramics become a whole, and the cutting and shaping are carried out according to the size requirement of the micro-flow controller, and finally, 16 round micro-flow controllers are obtained. According to the design requirement of the product, the diameter of the micro-flow controller can be within 5 mm.

The working principle of the LTCC-based miniature micro-flow controller is as follows:

the gaseous medium enters the micro-flow controller through the central hole of the heating layer and enters the fluid layer. In the fluid layer, the pressure of the gas is continuously reduced through the throttling function of the 19-time throttling hole and the expansion function of the waist-shaped groove (the specific flowing process is shown above), so that the pressure before the last throttling hole is small, and the finally output flow also reaches the range of micro flow (mu g/s-mg/s). In addition, 2 layers of spiral wires are formed in the heating layer, the micro-flow controller can be heated by supplying power, the gas viscosity is changed by controlling the gas temperature, and then the flow of the micro-flow controller is finely adjusted.

The miniaturized micro-flow controller of the invention realizes miniaturization, low cost and high efficiency by adopting the LTCC process, is suitable for the fluid management of a micro-propulsion system, particularly the commercial micro-satellite field with strict requirements on cost, development period and the like, and can also be applied to the micro-flow management system (such as medical instruments or analytical instruments and the like) in the industrial field.
