Piezoelectric micropump
Abstract:
A piezoelectric micropump in which a pump chamber is isolated by a diaphragm. A piezoelectric element is disposed on a back surface of the diaphragm, and the diaphragm is deformed by bending deformation of the piezoelectric element to change the volume of the pump chamber and transport fluid in the pump chamber. A support member for supporting a back surface of the piezoelectric element is provided so that the support member inhibits bending of a peripheral portion of the diaphragm in a reverse direction. The support member thus prevents the piezoelectric element from being floated. Accordingly, the displacement of the piezoelectric element can be reliably transmitted as the change in volume of the pump chamber, thereby enhancing the fluid transportation performance.
