And the second transport member has a second shaft portion that is attached to the drive unit so as to perform a predetermined reciprocating motion, and the fluid transport unit is detachable from the drive unit. Therefore, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the first shaft portion and the second shaft portion are detachable.

  According to this configuration, since the first shaft portion of the diaphragm provided on the fluid transport portion side and the second shaft portion provided on the drive portion side are detachable, the fluid transport portion and the diaphragm are separated. It can be integrated into a unit. As a result, when the diaphragm is to be replaced, the entire fluid transport unit can be replaced, so that maintenance can be easily performed.

  In the pump according to the present invention, the first transport member includes a first diaphragm that closes a part of a transport path that transports the transport fluid on the fluid transport unit side, and the second transport member includes a drive unit. The second diaphragm is actuated by the working fluid on the side, and the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm are integrally configured to be able to transport the transported fluid by elastic deformation, and the fluid transporting unit is detachable from the drive unit Therefore, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm are detachable.

  According to this configuration, the fluid conveyance unit and the first diaphragm can be unitized, and the second diaphragm and the drive unit can be unitized. As a result, when each diaphragm is to be replaced, it can be replaced for each unit, so that maintenance can be easily performed.

  In addition, the pump according to the present invention includes a fixing unit that detachably fixes the fluid conveyance unit to the drive unit between the fluid conveyance unit main body constituting the fluid conveyance unit and the drive unit main body constituting the drive unit. A configuration in which is provided can be employed.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to function as a single pump by fixing the fluid transport unit to the drive unit and integrating them.
