According to the working principle, common gas compression devices can be divided into diaphragm type, electromagnetic type, impeller type, piston type and the like, and have the common characteristics of comprising mechanical transmission parts, so that the structure is complex, the volume, the weight and the power consumption are large, in addition, large noise and electromagnetic interference exist, the structure is inconvenient to miniaturize and integrate, and the application in the field of micro electro mechanical systems is limited to a certain extent. In recent years, various piezoelectric micro gas compressing and conveying devices have been proposed in succession, such as chinese patents 201110255709.2, 201410104036.4, 201410577904.0, 201510649212.7, 201710697409.7, etc. Although the structural principle and the performance difference of the gas compression and conveying device are large, the gas driving is realized by utilizing the bending deformation generated by the wafer type piezoelectric vibrator under the action of an electric field, the volume change of a compression cavity caused by the bending deformation of the piezoelectric vibrator is relatively small, the output flow and the pressure which can be realized by the conventional piezoelectric gas compression device are low, and particularly, the large output flow and the high output pressure cannot be simultaneously obtained, so the popularization and the application are limited to a certain extent.
