Background technology
Physiology oxygen is human metabolic neccessary composition, sucks sufficient oxygen, makes to have enough dissolved oxygen DOs in the arterial blood, and is most important to earning a bare living.Clinically, the blood dissolves oxygen saturation is an important physical signs of human body, uses the oxygen saturation measurement accuracy height of traditional blood gas analysis method and spectrophotometric method, but the measuring process complexity is loaded down with trivial details, the cost height, required time is longer, and often detecting with this needs several hrs consuming time.When needs detected blood oxygen concentration to first-aid patients, can bring life danger so long detection time to patient.
1956, Clark proposed film and has covered the oxygen electrode technology, and had produced the syringe-type lambda sensor that is used for the dissolved oxygen concentration measurement.In this lambda sensor, see through the working electrode surface generation electrochemical reaction of dissolved oxygen DO in being immersed in electrolyte solution of oxygen permeation membrane, the size of current that electrochemical reaction produces is directly proportional with dissolved oxygen concentration.
Traditional Clark formula dissolved oxygen electrode is column structure, by working electrode (gold or platinum electrode), and the Ag/AgCl contrast electrode, electrolytic solution, oxygen permeation membrane, contact conductor and electrode sleeve constitute.The traditional electrode volume is big, the cost height, and needed sample solution is many, and therefore, microminiaturization becomes the development trend of Clark electrode.At the beginning of the nineties at the end of the eighties in last century, Japanese scientist I.Karube and S.Suzuki take the lead in the microminiaturization of Clark formula oxygen electrode and industrialization are launched research.They successfully are incorporated into the conductor etching technology in the manufacturing process of Clark formula oxygen electrode.Microminiaturized Clark formula oxygen electrode has reduced cost, has simplified the dissolved oxygen sensing relevant device, is conducive to Industry Promotion.
Along with the development of sensor processing technology, serigraphy in recent years, Laser mark technology and gluing technology increasingly mature, the research and development that utilizes these modes to make microsensor has good prospects, and than the conductor etching method, this technology is more simple and convenient, cost is lower, and efficient is higher.
Laser mark technology adopts High Power Laser Pulses to shine the workpiece to be processed surface, and the energy of laser light wave is absorbed by workpiece, and the local temperature of workpiece material is raise rapidly, and the irradiation area instant vaporization with workpiece reaches processing purpose.Than the common process technology, laser index carving processing degree of freedom is big, to the workpiece not damaged, and precision height, efficient height.
Serigraphy belongs to porous printing, is silk fabrics, synthetic fabrics or wire gauze are stretched tight on screen frame, adopts manual method of carving paint film or photochemistry plate-making to make screen printing forme.Modern screen printing technique then is to utilize photosensitive material by photomechanical method, the silk screen hole partly of picture and text on the screen printing forme is become through hole, and the silk screen hole of non-graphic part is plugged.By the extruding of scraper plate, printing ink is transferred on the stock by the mesh of picture and text part during printing, formed the picture and text the same with original copy.Screen printing apparatus is simple, easy to operate, and it is simple and easy and with low cost to print, make a plate, and adaptability is strong.
Centrifugation when even glue technology utilization is rotated at a high speed makes membrane material form the layer of even film at base material, and the big I of film thickness is controlled according to rotational time and speed, is a kind of conveniently film technique.
