Abstract:
1. A flow-path structure for performing centrifugal separation of a working fluid comprising at least one first component and at least one second component with different characteristics therebetween, comprising: an injection compartment utilized for receiving the working fluid to be injected; an uniform dividing compartment connected to the injection compartment relative to a reference position to divide the working fluid transmitted from the injection compartment, comprising a section gradually reduced away from the reference position; a collecting compartment connected to the uniform dividing compartment, comprising a plurality of collecting regions connected to each other; a detection compartment; and a separation channel utilized to connect one of the plurality of collecting regions to the detection compartment; when the uniform dividing compartment is rotated relative to the reference position, the working fluid located in the uniform dividing compartment is transmitted to the plurality of collecting regions of the collecting compartment, and the at least one first component and the at least one second component of the working fluid are centrifugally separated from each other by the plurality of collecting regions of the collecting compartment; and when the rotating uniform dividing compartment is stopped relative to the reference position, the at least one first component of the working fluid located at the plurality of collecting regions of the collecting compartment is transmitted to the separation channel, and when the uniform dividing compartment that was stopped begins to rotate relative to the reference position, the at least one first component of the working fluid located at the separation channel is centrifugally transmitted to the detection compartment through the separation channel, so that the at least one first component is completely separated from the at least one second component.
