Abstract

A fluid mixing structure adapted to mix a reagent liquid and a sample liquid is provided. The fluid mixing structure includes a first channel, a mixing recess, a first block, a plurality of second blocks, and a second channel. The mixing recess is communicated with the first channel. The first block is disposed in the mixing recess, so that the mixing recess becomes a ring-shaped channel. The second blocks are disposed in the ring-shaped channel. The reagent liquid and the sample liquid are mixed into a mixing liquid in the ring-shaped channel. The second channel is communicated with the mixing recess. The mixing liquid flows out of the mixing recess through the second channel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fluid mixing structure, adapted to mix a reagent liquid and a sample liquid, the fluid mixing structure comprising:
a first channel;
a mixing recess, communicating with the first channel, the reagent liquid and the sample liquid flowing into the mixing recess through the first channel;
a first block, disposed in the mixing recess, so that the mixing recess becomes a ring-shaped channel by the first block;
a plurality of second blocks, disposed in the ring-shaped channel, the reagent liquid and the sample liquid being mixed into a mixing liquid in the ring-shaped channel;
a second channel, communicating with the mixing recess, the mixing liquid flowing out of the mixing recess through the second channel; and
two plates, bonded together, wherein the mixing recess and the second channel are disposed on the plates and located between the plates after the plates are bonded.

2. The fluid mixing structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first block and the second blocks are a cylinder, and diameters of the second blocks are inconsistent.

3. The fluid mixing structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a diameter of the first block is larger than the diameters of the second blocks.

4. The fluid mixing structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein distances from centers of the second blocks to a center of the first block are inconsistent.

5. The fluid mixing structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a width of the ring-shaped channel ranges between twice and triple the diameters of the second blocks.

6. The fluid mixing structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a depth of the mixing recess is deeper than a depth of the second channel.
