The current collecting plate 3 includes an outer groove 31, an inner groove 32, a protrusion 33, at least one current collecting hole 34, a current collecting peripheral wall 35, a current collecting space 36 and two pin openings 37. The outer groove 31 is disposed on the first surface 3a of the current collecting plate and has a ring shape. The inner groove 32 is provided to the first surface 3a of the collecting plate and surrounded by the outer groove 31. The convex portion 33 is provided at the collector plate first surface 3a and at the center of the inner recess 32.

It should be noted that, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the micro-pump 10 has a total thickness (the portion not including the outflow channel 13) between 1 millimeter (mm) and 6 mm, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the total thickness may vary according to design requirements.
Referring to fig. 2A, fig. 2B, fig. 5B, and fig. 6A to fig. 7A, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the pump core module 4 is accommodated in the collecting space 36 of the collecting plate 3. The pump core module 4 is formed by sequentially stacking a flow inlet plate 41, a resonant plate 42, a piezoelectric actuator 43, a first insulating plate 45, a conductive plate 46 and a second insulating plate 47. The intake plate 41 has at least one intake hole 41a, at least one bus groove 41b and a bus chamber 41c. The inflow hole 41a is for introducing a fluid and penetrates the bus groove 41b. The bus bar groove 41b is communicated with the bus bar chamber 41c, so that the fluid introduced from the inflow hole 41a can flow into the bus bar chamber 41c after passing through the bus bar groove 41b. In the first embodiment, the number of the inflow holes 41a and the number of the bus grooves 41b are the same, and are 4 respectively, but not limited thereto, and the number of the inflow holes 41a and the number of the bus grooves 41b may be changed according to design requirements. Thus, the four intake holes 41a penetrate the four bus bar grooves 41b, respectively, and the four bus bar grooves 41b communicate with the bus bar chamber 41c.
In the first embodiment, the resonator plate 42 is coupled to the flow plate 41 and has a hollow hole 42a, a movable portion 42b and a fixed portion 42c. The hollow hole 42a is located at the center of the resonance plate 42 and corresponds to the position of the confluence chamber 41c of the inflow plate 41. The movable portion 42b is provided around the hollow hole 42a, and the fixed portion 42c is provided at an outer peripheral portion of the resonator plate 42 and fixedly coupled to the flow inlet plate 41.
In the first embodiment, the piezoelectric actuator 43 is mounted on the resonator plate 42 and includes a suspension plate 43a, an outer frame 43b, at least one bracket 43c, a piezoelectric element 44, at least one gap 43d and a first conductive pin 43e. The suspension plate 43a has a square shape and can be bent and vibrated. The square shape of the suspension plate 43a is advantageous in that the square shape of the suspension plate 43a has a significantly lower power consumption than the circular shape. Because the capacitive load operating under the resonant frequency increases with the increase of the frequency, and because the resonant frequency of the square-shaped suspension plate 43a is significantly lower than that of the circular-shaped suspension plate, the power consumption is also significantly lower, i.e., the square-shaped suspension plate 43a has the advantage of power saving. The outer frame 43b is disposed around the suspension plate 43 a. At least one bracket 43c is connected between the suspension plate 43a and the outer frame 43b for providing a supporting force for elastically supporting the suspension plate 43 a. The piezoelectric element 44 has a side length less than or equal to a side length of the suspension plate 43a, and the piezoelectric element 44 is attached to a surface of the suspension plate 43a for being applied with a voltage to drive the suspension plate 43a to vibrate in a bending manner. At least one gap 43d is formed between the suspension plate 43a, the outer frame 43b and the bracket 43c for the fluid to pass through. The first conductive pins 43e protrude from the outer edge of the outer frame 43 b.
In the first embodiment, the conductive plate 46 protrudes an electrode 46a from the inner edge, and a second conductive pin 46b from the outer edge. The electrode 46a is electrically connected to the piezoelectric element 44 of the piezoelectric actuator 43. The first conductive pin 43e of the piezoelectric actuator 43 and the second conductive pin 46b of the conductive plate 46 are connected to an external current, so as to drive the piezoelectric element 44 of the piezoelectric actuator 43. The first conductive pin 43e and the second conductive pin 46b protrude from the pin opening 37 of the current collecting plate 3 to the outside of the current collecting plate 3, respectively. In addition, the first insulating sheet 45 and the second insulating sheet 47 are provided to prevent short-circuiting.
Referring to fig. 7A, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a resonant cavity 48 is formed between the suspension plate 43a and the resonant plate 42. The resonant cavity 48 may be formed by filling a gap between the resonator plate 42 and the outer frame 43b of the piezoelectric actuator 43 with a material, such as: the conductive paste, but not limited thereto, maintains a certain depth between the resonator plate 42 and the suspension plate 43a, thereby guiding the fluid to flow more rapidly. Further, since the levitation plate 43a and the resonator plate 42 are kept at an appropriate distance from each other, contact interference therebetween is reduced, and noise generation is promoted to be reduced. In other embodiments, the thickness of the gap filling material between the resonator plate 42 and the outer frame 43b of the piezoelectric actuator 43 can be reduced by increasing the height of the outer frame 43b of the piezoelectric actuator 43. Thus, when the pump core module 4 is integrally assembled, the filling material is not indirectly affected by the change of the hot pressing temperature and the cooling temperature, and the actual distance between the resonance cavities 48 after molding due to the expansion and contraction of the filling material can be avoided, but not limited thereto. In addition, the size of the resonant cavity 48 affects the transmission efficiency of the pump core module 4, so it is important to maintain a fixed size of the resonant cavity 48 to provide stable transmission efficiency of the pump core module 4. Therefore, as shown in fig. 7B, in another embodiment, the suspension plate 43a can be formed by a stamping process to extend upward by a distance, and the upward extending distance can be adjusted by at least one bracket 43c formed between the suspension plate 43a and the outer frame 43B, so that the surface of the suspension plate 43a and the surface of the outer frame 43B are both non-coplanar. By applying a small amount of filling material, for example: the piezoelectric actuator 43 is attached to the fixing portion 42c of the resonator plate 42 by a thermal compression method using a conductive adhesive, so that the piezoelectric actuator 43 can be assembled and bonded to the resonator plate 42. Thus, the structural improvement of the resonant cavity 48 is directly achieved by adopting the stamping forming process to form the floating plate 43a of the piezoelectric actuator 43, and the required resonant cavity 48 can be achieved by adjusting the stamping forming distance of the floating plate 43a of the piezoelectric actuator 43, thereby effectively simplifying the structural design of adjusting the resonant cavity 48, simplifying the process and shortening the process time. In addition, the first insulating sheet 45, the conducting sheet 46 and the second insulating sheet 47 are frame-shaped thin sheets, and are sequentially stacked on the piezoelectric actuator 43 to form the overall structure of the pump core module 4.
To understand the operation of the pump core module 4, please refer to fig. 7C to 7E, in the first embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 7C, the piezoelectric element 44 of the piezoelectric actuator 43 is deformed after being applied with the driving voltage, so as to drive the floating plate 43a to displace in the direction away from the intake plate 41, at this time, the volume of the resonant chamber 48 is increased, so as to form a negative pressure in the resonant chamber 48, so that the fluid in the collecting chamber 41C flows through the hollow hole 42a of the resonant plate 42 into the resonant chamber 48, and the resonant plate 42 is simultaneously displaced in the direction away from the intake plate 41 under the influence of the resonance principle, thereby increasing the volume of the collecting chamber 41C, and the fluid in the collecting chamber 41C is also in the negative pressure state due to the fluid in the collecting chamber 41C entering the resonant chamber 48, so as to further suck the fluid into the collecting chamber 41C through the intake hole 41a and the collecting groove 41b. As shown in fig. 7D, the piezoelectric element 44 drives the floating plate 43a to displace in a direction approaching the intake plate 41, thereby compressing the resonance chamber 48, and similarly, the resonance plate 42 is driven by the floating plate 43a to displace in a direction approaching the intake plate 41 due to resonance, thereby pushing the fluid in the resonance chamber 48 out of the pump core module 4 through the gap 43D, thereby achieving the effect of fluid transmission. Finally, as shown in fig. 7E, when the suspension plate 43a moves back to the initial position in the direction away from the flow inlet plate 41, the resonator plate 42 is also driven to move in the direction away from the flow inlet plate 41, and the resonator plate 42 compresses the resonance chamber 48 at this time, so that the fluid in the resonance chamber 48 moves to the gap 43d, and the volume in the confluence chamber 41c is increased, so that the fluid can continuously pass through the flow inlet hole 41a and the confluence groove 41b to be converged in the confluence chamber 41c. By continuously repeating the above-mentioned operation steps of the pump core module 4 shown in fig. 7C to 7E, the pump core module 4 can continuously guide the fluid from the inflow hole 41a into the flow channel formed by the inflow plate 41 and the resonance plate 42, generate a pressure gradient, and then discharge the pressure gradient through the gap 43d, so that the fluid flows at a high speed, thereby achieving the operation of the pump core module 4 for transferring the fluid.
Referring to fig. 8A to 8D, when the micro pump 10 is activated, the pump core module 4 is activated to draw the fluid outside the micro pump 10 into the pump core module 4, and then into the collecting chamber C after passing through the collecting hole 34 of the collecting plate 3, and then the valve plate 2 is pushed away from the protrusion 33 of the collecting plate 3 and then enters the outflow channel 13 of the outflow plate 1 through the valve hole 23 to complete the fluid delivery. When the micro pump 10 stops operating, the pump core module 4 is not actuated, the fluid flows back into the micro pump 10 from the outflow channel 13, and the portion of the valve plate 2 corresponding to the collecting chamber C is pushed away to leave the outflow plate 1, so that the fluid is discharged out of the micro pump 10 after entering the outflow channel 14 through the space between the valve plate 2 and the outflow plate 1, and the operation of outflow is completed.
Referring to fig. 9 to 10D, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the flow outlet plate 1' is different from that of the flow outlet plate 1 of the first embodiment, and the difference is in the form of the outflow channel 13. In the second embodiment, the outflow channel 13 is a curved channel. Thereby, fluid is transferred laterally from the micro-pump 10'. It should be noted that, since the outlet flow plate 1' is a concentric symmetrical structure, the outlet direction of the fluid can have 360 ° freedom, that is, the outlet direction of the outlet flow channel 13 can rotate 360 ° around the protrusion 33 of the collecting plate 3, so that the outlet direction of the outlet flow channel 13 can be easily adjusted according to the desired outlet direction when the user uses the device.
In conclusion, the micropump provided by the scheme forms a one-way output concentric circle non-return symmetrical structure and has a pressure relief function, so that the effects of greatly reducing the structure of the valve plate, improving the overall air tightness reliability, increasing the freedom degree of the output direction and greatly reducing the pressure relief flow resistance are achieved.
Various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
