Fluid delivery system substrate block with smooth passageway
The patent US11990354B2 describes a substrate block designed for fluid delivery systems, featuring a unique configuration of inlet and outlet substrate ports. The substrate block includes an upper surface with an inlet substrate port and an outlet substrate port, each defined by respective substrate rings and conical portions. These conical portions extend along their respective axes, with the substrate fluid passageway connecting the two ports following a constant radius arc. Notably, the axes of the inlet and outlet ports intersect the passageway but are non-tangent to it, and the conical portions join the passageway at edges that are not parallel to the upper surface. The substrate block can be constructed from fluoropolymer materials such as PTFE or PFA, and it may also feature fastener holes and outer walls that define a cavity.
Additionally, the patent outlines a fluid delivery system that incorporates the substrate block mounted on a back plane. This system includes an active component with its own inlet and outlet ports, which align with the substrate block's ports. The design includes a seal ring with an interior sleeve and an outer ring, creating grooves for secure connections. The substrate block's cavity and support wall further enhance its structural integrity. Overall, the claims emphasize the innovative design and material choices that contribute to the effective delivery of fluids in various applications.
