用断电后仍保持状态的磁阀实现无需持续供电的流体编程控制。

A Nonvolatile Switchable-polarity EPM Valve

  • 通过瞬时电信号切换磁极,实现断电后稳定保持的双稳态磁结构。
  • 构建了可非易失性编程的六端口流体路由阵列,支持地址寻址与独立端口隔离。
  • 适用于自主实验室平台,比传统机械阀更省电、更灵活,适合数字流体系统。

可扩展的气动与流体网络控制仍受限于需持续供电、外部硬件密集且拓扑固定的架构。现有阀阵列依赖持续驱动和机械固定路径,带来显著热负荷与结构开销。本文提出一种新型双稳态磁架构——可切换极性电永磁(S-EPM),通过瞬时电激励改变复合磁体内部磁通路径,实现外磁场极性的确定性反转,且无需持续供电。将该架构集成至紧凑型夹管阀中,可鲁棒控制气态与液态介质。基于状态编码的磁控机制使流体网络具备逻辑嵌入能力,包括解码器、分层分配模块及非易失性六端口路由阵列。这些系统支持基于地址的路由与可编程组合控制,提供标准机械耦合旋转阀无法实现的单端口隔离功能。通过将功能嵌入持久磁态而非持续供电或静态管道,本工作为数字流体与自主实验室平台奠定了可扩展基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Scalable control of pneumatic and fluidic networks remains fundamentally constrained by architectures that require continuous power input, dense external control hardware, and fixed routing topologies. Current valve arrays rely on such continuous actuation and mechanically fixed routing, imposing substantial thermal and architectural overhead. Here, we introduce the Switchable-polarity ElectroPermanent Magnet (S-EPM), a fundamentally new bistable magnetic architecture that deterministically reverses its external magnetic polarity through transient electrical excitation. By reconfiguring internal flux pathways within a composite magnet assembly, the S-EPM establishes two stable, opposing magnetic configurations without requiring sustained power. We integrate this architecture into a compact pinch-valve to robustly control pneumatic and liquid media. This state-encoded magnetic control enables logic-embedded fluidic networks, including decoders, hierarchical distribution modules, and a nonvolatile six-port routing array. These systems provide address-based routing and programmable compositional control, offering features like individual port isolation that are impossible with standard mechanically coupled rotary valves. By embedding functionality in persistent magnetic states rather than continuous power or static plumbing, this work establishes a scalable foundation for digital fluidics and autonomous laboratory platforms.
