Referring to fig. 5A, the valve 27 includes a holder 271, a sealing member 272, and a displacement member 273; wherein the displacement member 273 is disposed between the holder 271 and the sealing member 272. The holder 271, the sealing member 272 and the displacer 273 have a plurality of through holes 271a, 272a and 273a thereon, respectively, and the plurality of through holes 271a of the holder 271 and the plurality of through holes 273a of the displacer 273 are aligned with each other, and the plurality of through holes 272a of the sealing member 272 and the plurality of through holes 271a of the holder 271 are misaligned with each other; the polarity of the displacement member 273 and the holding member 271 is controlled by the microprocessor chip 3 (as shown in fig. 2), so that the displacement member 273 and the holding member 271 maintain the same polarity and approach the sealing member 272, thereby closing the valve 27; referring to fig. 5B again, the displacement member 273 is a charged material, the holding member 271 is a conductive material with two polarities, and the polarities of the displacement member 273 and the holding member 271 can be controlled by the microprocessor chip 3 (as shown in fig. 2), so that the displacement member 273 and the holding member 271 maintain different polarities and approach the holding member 271, thereby opening the valve 27; by adjusting the polarity of the holder 271, the displacement member 273 is moved to form the open and closed states of the valve 27.

Please refer to fig. 3C to fig. 3D. When the actuating body 25c is driven by the voltage supplied by the micro-processing chip 3 controlled by the connecting circuit 6, the deformation is generated to drive the vibration region 25a to vibrate in a reciprocating manner along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the vibration region 25 a. As shown in fig. 3C, when the actuating body 25C is driven by the micro-processing chip 3 to deform and move away from the inlet layer 21 by the voltage supplied by the connecting line 6, and the valve 27 is controlled by the micro-processing chip 3 (as shown in fig. 2) to open, the vibration region 25a is vibrated by the deformation of the actuating body 25C and moves away from the inlet layer 21, and the movable portion 23b of the resonant layer 23 is also moved away from the inlet layer 21, so that the volume of the resonant chamber 24a of the chamber layer 24 is increased to generate a suction force, and the gas is sucked from the inlet 21a of the inlet layer 21, passes through the valve 27 of the inlet layer 21, is collected into the channel 22a of the channel layer 22, and passes through the central hole 23a of the resonant layer 23 to be collected into the resonant chamber 24a for temporary storage. Then, as shown in fig. 3D, when the actuator 25C is driven by the voltage supplied by the microprocessor chip 3 to deform and move toward the direction close to the inlet layer 21, the vibration region 25a is driven by the actuator 25C to vibrate and move toward the direction close to the inlet layer 21, at this time, the vibration region 25a of the actuator 25 compresses the volume of the resonance chamber 24a, so that the gas in the resonance chamber 24a can be squeezed to both sides and flow into the outflow chamber 26a through the plurality of gaps 25e to be collected, and as shown in fig. 3C, when the actuator 25C is driven by the voltage supplied by the power supply unit 5 to deform and move toward the direction away from the inlet layer 21, the vibration region 25a is driven by the voltage supplied by the connection line 6 to vibrate and move away from the inlet layer 21, so that the gas in the outflow chamber 26a passes through the valve 27 in the outlet layer 26 and is discharged from the outlet 26b of the outlet layer 26 to the outside of the outlet layer 26, so as to constitute a gas-permeable action for the gas transport in a specific direction of the support body 1. Thus, by repeating the operation shown in fig. 3C to 3D, the gas can be continuously guided from the inlet 21a to the outlet 26b and discharged under pressure, so as to realize the gas transmission.

In the present embodiment, the reciprocating vibration frequency of the resonant layer 23 may be the same as the vibration frequency of the vibration region 25a of the actuating layer 25, that is, both of them may be upward or downward simultaneously, and may be changed according to the practical implementation, and the operation manner shown in the present embodiment is not limited. The pressure gradient is generated in the flow channel of the actuating ventilation unit 2 in the embodiment of the invention, so that the gas flows at a high speed, and the gas is transmitted from the inlet 21a to the outlet 26b through the impedance difference in the inlet and outlet directions of the flow channel, and the gas can be continuously pushed out under the pressure state of the outlet 26b, and the effect of silence can be achieved.

As shown in fig. 4B, in the embodiment, two activated gas-permeable units 2 are stacked by the mems process, and a common chamber 28 is disposed between the two activated gas-permeable units 2 for communication, so that the activated gas-permeable units 2 are arranged in parallel to increase the gas transmission speed outputted by the activated gas-permeable material structure 10. As shown in fig. 4C, a plurality of actuating gas-permeable units 2 are arranged in series, one set of actuating gas-permeable units 2 is matched with the other set of actuating gas-permeable units 2, and a common chamber 28 is disposed between the two sets of actuating gas-permeable units 2 arranged in series for communication, so that the actuating gas-permeable units 2 are arranged in series and parallel by stacking via the mems process, thereby simultaneously increasing the total gas transmission amount and the gas transmission speed outputted by the actuating gas-permeable material structure 10. In the present embodiment, the plurality of actuating ventilation units 2 are connected to the driving circuit, so as to actuate and transmit gas simultaneously, thereby meeting the requirement of gas transmission with large flow rate.
