Problems solved by technology

[0006] In addition to the above-mentioned methods, micro-robots are used more and more in micro-assembly, but due to the complexity of the system and the limitations of the application environment, it has not been widely used yet.
On the basis of previous studies, the research team proposed a multi-rod droplet micromanipulator. This invention can change the attitude of tiny objects. However, since each tungsten rod of the manipulator is distributed uniformly , unable to achieve automatic calibration for tiny objects of specific shapes

Abstract

The invention provides a self-calibration liquid drop manipulator structure and a micro-operation method. The liquid drop manipulator structure comprises a tail end execution assembly, a liquid drop injection assembly, a microtube driving assembly, a support assembly and a control and feedback assembly. The control and feedback assembly controls the microtube driving assembly and the liquid drop injection assembly, so that liquid drops are generated at the tail ends of capillary glass microtubes, and the self-calibration process of tiny object is completed. Compared with the prior art, the method is simple and easy to implement, adsorbed tiny objects are automatically calibrated, control is stable and accurate, and the method is suitable for lossless operation of the tiny objects in any shape.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of droplet micro-operation, in particular to a self-calibrating droplet manipulator structure and a micro-operation method. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), the size characteristics of the components are getting smaller and smaller, and the internal structure is becoming more and more complex. In the assembly of micro-components, the assembly accuracy is getting higher and higher. Picking up of micro-components, attitude adjustment, Release is often the focus and difficulty in micro-assembly operations. At present, the operation methods for micro-component assembly at home and abroad are mainly micro-clamp method, vacuum adsorption method and surface tension-based method. [0003] The micro-clamp method means that the micro-manipulation tool is designed to have a structure similar to the macro-clamp to achieve operations such as grasping, handlin...
