摘要:
An electrochemical fluid delivery device of the present invention includes a case, pressure generating part and fluid reservoir part. The case has a cover capable of being opened and closed. When the cover is closed after the fluid reservoir part is accommodated in the case, the inside of the case can be maintained in an airtight condition. The pressure generating part includes a power supply part and electrochemical cell part. When a direct current flows in the electrochemical cell part, gas is generated and accumulates in the airtight case. By the pressure of gas, the fluid reservoir part is pressurized so that the fluid can be delivered. The amount of gas generated at constant pressure by the electrochemical cell part is determined by a quantity of electricity (current.times.time). Since the amount of fluid to be delivered is proportional to the amount of generated gas, the amount of fluid to be delivered in a unit time can be determined by the intensity of a current. A total amount of delivered fluid can be determined by the quantity of electricity.

A fluid delivery device according to the present invention has a fluid delivery device body and an electrochemical cell portion for generating a gas when supplied with a DC current. The fluid delivery device body has a partition member transformable by the pressure of a gas, and a gas introduction portion. A first compartment and a second compartment are formed in the fluid delivery device body by the partition member, and a gas generated in the electrochemical cell portion is introduced into the second compartment through the gas introduction portion. A transformable fluid reservoir having a fluid delivery portion is disposed in the first compartment. If the gas generated in the electrochemical cell portion is introduced into the second compartment, the inner pressure of the second compartment increases, and the partition member is pushed, so that a fluid in the fluid reservoir disposed in the first compartment is delivered from the fluid delivery portion.

An electrochemical fluid delivery device according to the present invention includes an electrochemical cell and a flexible bladder having a first chamber for reservoiring a fluid and a second chamber into which gas generated by the electrochemical cell is introduced. The gas compresses the first chamber to deliver the fluid from a delivery port of the first chamber. The bladder is formed of three sheets that are stacked, and their edge portions are joined to each other so that first and second sheets form the first chamber as well as the second sheet and a third sheet form the second chamber. A fluid delivery port and a gas introduction port are provided in the first and second chambers, respectively. The fluid delivery port is also used as a fluid pour port. Alternatively, the fluid pour port is independently provided.

A device for measuring hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution includes a sensing means for sensing hydrogen ion concentration and a reference electrode. The sensing means may be an ion-sensitive field-effect transistor or a hydrogen ion electrode. The sensing means has an ion-sensitive layer composed of tantalum nitride, niobium nitride, zirconium nitride or niobium oxide. When the sensing device is built integrally into a lead-acid battery, the state of charge-discharge of the battery can be effectively known.
