Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To actualize the operation of a piezoelectric pump for an electrical home appliance in a flow amount lower than a flow amount ordinarily provided by the pump without encountering problems with automatic priming effects and the elimination of bubbles. SOLUTION: In the method for controlling the piezoelectric pump (100) for the electrical home appliance equipped with a pump chamber (110) having a movable wall (111) mounted displaceable under the operation of an piezoelectric actuator (111A), alternating current supply signals of voltage U to bring about substantial deformation of the piezoelectric actuator (111A) for the maximum sweep-out capacity of the pump chamber (110) using the movable wall (111) are supplied to the piezoelectric actuator (111A) during multiple alternation in the starting stage of the pump (100), and the starting stage of the pump is taken over by a normal operation stage where the supplied signals are modulated so that an average flow rate provided by the pump (100) is lower than a flow rate provided in the starting stage.
