However, it can be manufactured by a method such as electroforming or electric discharge machining, but is not limited thereto.

   In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 2A, the insulating piece 141, the conductive piece 15, and the other insulating piece 142 further included in the small fluid control device 1 </ b> A are sequentially installed below the piezoelectric actuator 13. And the form is a form substantially corresponding to the form of the outer frame of the piezoelectric actuator 13. In some embodiments, the insulating pieces 141 and 142 are not limited to this. For example, the insulating pieces 141 and 142 are made of an insulating material such as plastic. In some other embodiments, the insulating pieces 141 and 142 are electrically conductive. Although the piece 15 is not limited to this, for example, the piece 15 is made of a conductive material such as a metal to conduct electricity. In the present embodiment, the conductive piece 15 may conduct electricity by installing a conductive pin 151 thereon.

  Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIGS. 5A to 5E, which are schematic diagrams showing local operations of the small fluid control device of the small pneumatic power unit shown in FIG. 1A. As shown in FIG. 5A, the small fluid control device 1A includes a gas introduction plate 11, a resonance piece 12, a piezoelectric actuator 13, an insulation piece 141, a conductive piece 15, another insulation piece 142, and the like, In the example, the gap g0 between the resonance piece 12 and the periphery of the outer frame 131 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 is not limited to this. For example, a material such as a conductive paste is filled to suspend the resonance piece 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13. The depth of the gap g0 between the convex portion 130c of the plate 130 is maintained, the airflow can be guided so as to flow more rapidly, and the convex portion 130c of the suspension plate 130 and the resonance piece Therefore, the contact interference with each other is reduced, and the generation of noise can be reduced.

  Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5E, as shown in the drawing, when the gas introduction plate 11, the resonance piece 12, and the piezoelectric actuator 13 are assembled in order, the 120 hollow holes of the resonance piece 12 A chamber for collecting gas is formed together with the gas introduction plate 11, and a first chamber 121 used for temporarily storing gas is further formed between the resonance piece 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13, and the first chamber 121 is formed. Communicates with the chamber at the central recess 111 of the first surface 11 b of the gas introduction plate 11 through the hollow hole 120 of the resonance piece 12, and both sides of the first chamber 121 are between the frames 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. The space 135 communicates with the small valve device 1B installed therebelow.

  When the small fluid control device 1A of the small pneumatic power unit 1 is operated, the piezoelectric actuator 13 is mainly operated by receiving a voltage, and vertical reciprocating vibration is performed with the frame 132 as a fulcrum. As shown in FIG. 5B, when the piezoelectric actuator 13 is actuated by receiving voltage and vibrates downward, the resonance piece 12 has a light and thin piece-like structure. Accordingly, it resonates and performs vertical reciprocal vibration, that is, the portion of the resonance piece 12 corresponding to the central recess 111 of the gas introduction plate 11 is also deformed by bending vibration, that is, the central recess 111 of the gas introduction plate 11. The portion of the resonance piece 12 corresponding to the above is the movable portion 12a of the resonance piece 12, and when the piezoelectric actuator 13 is curved and vibrated downward, the movable portion 12a of the resonance piece 12 introduces and presses the fluid and the piezoelectric actuator 13. The piezoelectric actuator 13 bends and vibrates downward and deforms due to the interlocking with the vibration of the gas, so that the gas is introduced into at least one gas guide on the gas introduction plate 11. The center located on the resonance piece 12 that enters from the hole 110 and is aggregated in the central central concave portion 111 through the at least one gas guide groove 112 on the first surface 11b and is installed so as to correspond to the central concave portion 111. After flowing downward into the first chamber 121 through the hole 120, as shown in FIG. 5C, the resonance piece 12 resonates along with the vibration due to the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13, and the vertical At this time, the movable portion 12a of the resonator element 12 vibrates downward along with this, and comes into contact with the convex portion 130c of the suspension plate 130 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 so as to stick. Thus, the space other than the convex portion 130c of the suspension plate 130 is not reduced in distance from the aggregation chamber between the fixed portions 12b on both sides of the resonance piece 12, and the deformation of the resonance piece 12 causes the first The volume of the chamber 121 is compressed, and the flow space in the first chamber 121 is closed, so that the gas inside the chamber 121 is urged to flow toward both sides, and between the frames 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. It flows downward through the gap 135. As shown in FIG. 5D, when the movable portion 12a of the resonance piece 12 is deformed by bending vibration, the movable portion 12a returns to the initial position, and then the piezoelectric actuator 13 is driven by receiving voltage to vibrate upward. Thus, the volume of the first chamber 121 is compressed, and at this time, the piezoelectric actuator 13 is lifted upward, and this lifting movement can be set to d, whereby the gas in the first chamber 121 is Flows toward the both sides, continuously moves the gas through at least one gas introduction hole 110 on the gas introduction plate 11, and flows into the chamber formed in the central recess 111, As shown in FIG. 5E, the resonance piece 12 resonates upward under the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13 lifted upward, and the movable part 1 of the resonance piece 12 a also goes to the upper position, and the gas in the central recess 111 flows into the first chamber 121 from the central hole 120 of the resonance piece 12, and the lower small size is passed through the gap 135 between the frames 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. It flows out to the fluid control device 1A. As can be seen from this embodiment, when the resonating piece 12 performs vertical reciprocal vibration, the gap g0 between the piezoelectric element 13 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 can be increased to the maximum distance of the vertical movement. The gap g0 provided between them can cause the resonator element 12 to further move up and down at the time of resonance, where d is the vibration movement of the piezoelectric actuator and x is the difference from the gap g0. That is, when x = g0-d and x ≦ 0 μm according to the test, there is a noise state, and when x = 1-5 μm, the maximum output air pressure of the small pneumatic power unit 1 reaches 350 mmHg, and x = 5-5 When 10 μm, the maximum output air pressure of the small pneumatic power unit 1 reaches 250 mmHg, and when x = 10 to 15 μm, the maximum output air pressure of the small pneumatic power unit 1 is 150 m. Has reached Hg, correspondence between these numerical values are as shown in Table 1 below. In the above numerical values, the operating voltage is between ± 10V and ± 20V. In this way, a pressure gradient is generated during the flow path design through the small fluid control device 1A, the gas flows at a high speed, and the gas is transferred from the suction side to the discharge side due to the resistance difference in the flow direction of the flow path. In addition, even under the condition where the pressure is on the discharge side, the gas can be continuously pushed out, and the effect of noise can be achieved.

  Also, in some embodiments, the vertical reciprocating vibration frequency of the resonator element 12 can be the same as the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric actuator 13, i.e., both can be directed simultaneously upward or downward, in practice. It is possible to change arbitrarily based on the state of implementation of this, and it is not restricted to the operation system shown in a present Example.

  FIG. 6A and FIG. 1A are schematic views showing the pressure accumulation operation of the air collecting plate and the small valve device of the small pneumatic power unit shown in FIGS. 1A, 2A, and 1A. Please refer to FIG. 6B which is a schematic diagram showing the pressure relief operation of the plate and the small valve device.

Are used in combination.

  In the present embodiment, the air collecting plate 16 has a surface 160 and a reference surface 161, and the surface 160 is recessed on the surface 160 so that the air collecting chamber for installing the piezoelectric actuator 13 therein. The gas that forms 162 and is transmitted downward by the small fluid control device 1A is temporarily accumulated in the air collecting chamber 162, and the air collecting plate 16 includes the first through-hole 163 and the second through-hole 163. It has a plurality of through holes including the through hole 164, one end of the first through hole 163 and one end of the second through hole 164 communicate with the air collecting chamber 162, and the other end is a reference of the air collecting plate 16. Each communicates with a first pressure relief chamber 165 and a first outlet chamber 166 on the surface 161. Further, a convex structure 167 is further added at the first outlet chamber 166, and for example, a cylindrical structure can be used. However, the height of the convex structure 167 is not limited to this, and the reference surface of the air collecting plate 16 is not limited thereto. 161, and the height of the convex structure 167 is between 0.1 mm and 0.55 mm, preferably 0.2 mm.

  The outlet plate 18 includes a pressure relief through hole 181, an outlet through hole 182, a reference surface 180, and a second surface 187, and the pressure relief through hole 181 and the outlet through hole 182 are connected to the reference surface 180 of the outlet plate 18 and the second surface 187. A second pressure relief chamber 183 and a second outlet chamber 184 are recessed on the reference surface 180, and the pressure relief through hole 181 is provided in a central portion of the second pressure relief chamber 183. In addition, a communication channel 185 used for gas flow is further provided between the second pressure relief chamber 183 and the second outlet chamber 184, and one end of the outlet through hole 182 communicates with the second outlet chamber 184. The other end communicates with the outlet 19, and in this embodiment, the outlet 19 can be connected to a device (not shown) such as a pressure machine. That is, not limited to this.

  The valve piece 17 has a valve hole 170 and a plurality of positioning holes 171 thereon, and the thickness of the valve piece 17 is between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm, preferably 0.2 mm. .

  When the valve piece 17 is assembled so as to be positioned between the air collecting plate 16 and the outlet plate 18, the pressure relief through hole 181 of the outlet plate 18 becomes the first through hole 163 and the second pressure of the air collecting plate 16. The relief chamber 183 corresponds to the first pressure relief chamber 165 of the air collecting plate 16, the second outlet chamber 184 corresponds to the first outlet chamber 166 of the air collecting plate 16, and the valve piece 17 includes the air collecting plate. 16 and the outlet plate 18, the communication between the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the second pressure relief chamber 183 is blocked, and the valve hole 170 of the valve piece 17 includes the second through hole 164 and This single valve is installed between the outlet through holes 182 and the valve holes 170 are installed corresponding to the convex structure 167 of the first outlet chamber 166 located in the air collecting plate 16. You can reach the goal of flow 170 gas by the design of a single direction in response to the pressure differential.

  Further, one end of the pressure relief through-hole 181 of the outlet plate 18 can be further provided with a convex structure 181a formed by protruding, but is not limited to this, for example, a cylindrical structure can be used. The height of the partial structure 181a is between 0.1 mm and 0.55 mm, preferably 0.2 mm, and the convex structure 181a has an additional height due to the improvement. The height of the structure 181 a is higher than the reference surface 180 of the outlet plate 18, so that the valve piece 17 comes into contact more quickly and seals the pressure relief through-hole 181, and is completely sealed by the prestress contact action. Strengthened to reach the effect. The outlet plate 18 further includes at least one position restricting structure 188, and the height of the position restricting structure 188 is 0.2 mm. In this embodiment, the position restricting structure 188 includes Although it is installed in the two-pressure relief chamber 183 and has a structure of an annular block body, the structure is not limited to this, but mainly for assisting the valve piece 17 when the small valve device 1B performs pressure accumulation work. By using this, it is possible to prevent the valve piece 17 from being detached, and to open and close the valve piece 17 more quickly.

  When the small valve device 1B operates to accumulate pressure, it corresponds to the pressure provided by the gas from the small fluid control device 1A transmitted downward, mainly as shown in FIG. When the atmospheric pressure is greater than the internal pressure of a device (not shown) connected to the outlet 19, the gas flows from the air collecting chamber 162 in the air collecting plate 16 of the small fluid control device 1A to the first through-hole 163 and the second. The gas flows downward into the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166 through the through-holes 164, respectively. At this time, the downward gas pressure curves the flexible valve piece 17 downward. At the same time, the volume of the first pressure relief chamber 165 is increased by deformation, and at the same time, the first pressure relief chamber 165 is flatly attached at a position corresponding to the first through-hole 163 and is in contact with the end of the pressure relief through-hole 181. , It is possible to seal the pressure relief hole 181 of the outlet plate 18, the gas in the second pressure relief chamber 183 is never flows out from the pressure relief hole 181 locations. In this embodiment, by utilizing a design in which a convex structure 181a is added to the end of the pressure relief through hole 181, the valve piece 17 is quickly brought into contact with the pressure relief through hole 181 to seal it, and the prestress The valve piece 17 is reinforced to prevent a dent by using a position restricting structure 188 provided around the pressure relief passage hole 181 at the same time, so as to achieve a complete sealing effect by the abutting action. I support it. On the other hand, the gas flows into the first outlet chamber 166 downward from the second through-hole 164, and the valve piece 17 corresponding to the first outlet chamber 166 is also bent and deformed downward. The corresponding valve hole 170 is opened downward, and gas flows from the first outlet chamber 166 through the valve hole 170 into the second outlet chamber 184, and is connected to the outlet 19 and the outlet 19 from the outlet through hole 182. By flowing into the device (not shown), the pressure accumulation operation can be performed on the device.

  When the small valve device 1B performs pressure relief, as shown in FIG. 6B, the gas transmission amount of the small fluid control device 1A is adjusted so that the gas does not enter the air collection chamber 162, or the outlet When the internal pressure of the device (not shown) connected to the device 19 is larger than the external atmospheric pressure, the small valve device 1B can release the pressure. At this time, the gas enters the second outlet chamber 184 from the outlet through hole 182 connected to the outlet 19, expands the volume of the second outlet chamber 184, and curves the flexible valve piece 17 upward. Therefore, the valve hole 170 of the valve piece 17 is in contact with the air collecting plate 16 and is closed in order to flatly adhere and contact the air collecting plate 16 upward. In the present embodiment, a design in which the convex structure 167 is added to the first outlet chamber 166 can be used, so that the flexible valve piece 17 is curvedly deformed upward and comes into contact more quickly. Therefore, since the valve hole 170 can achieve a prestress contact effect more advantageously and can be in a completely attached sealed state, the valve hole 170 of the valve piece 17 has the convex portion in the initial state. Since the gas in the second outlet chamber 184 does not flow back into the first outlet chamber 166, the structure 167 is closed in close contact with the structure 167, so that an effect of better gas leakage prevention is achieved. In addition, the gas in the second outlet chamber 184 flows into the second pressure relief chamber 183 via the communication channel 185, expands the volume of the second pressure relief chamber 183, and corresponds to the second pressure relief chamber 183. Similarly, the valve piece 17 can be curved and deformed upward. At this time, the valve piece 17 is not in contact and does not block the end of the pressure relief passage hole 181, so the pressure relief passage hole 181. Is open, that is, the gas in the second pressure relief chamber 183 flows out of the pressure relief hole 181 to perform the pressure relief operation. In the present embodiment, the flexible valve piece 17 is moved upward by using the convex structure 181 a added to the end of the pressure relief passage hole 181 or the position regulating structure 188 installed in the second pressure relief chamber 183. It is possible to bend and deform more quickly, and to release the closed state of the pressure relief through hole 181 more advantageously. In this manner, the gas in the device (not shown) connected to the outlet 19 by this unidirectional pressure relief work is discharged to reduce the pressure, or completely exhausted to complete the pressure relief work. Can be.

  Please refer to FIGS. 1A and 2A and FIGS. 7A to 7E, which are schematic diagrams showing the pressure accumulation operation of the small pneumatic power unit shown in FIG. 1A. As shown in FIG. 7A, the small pneumatic power unit 1 is composed of a combination of a small fluid control device 1A and a small valve device 1B. Among them, the small fluid control device 1A includes the gas introduction plate 11, the resonance piece, as described above. 12, the piezoelectric actuator 13, the insulating piece 141, the conductive piece 15, the other insulating piece 142, the air collecting plate 16, and the like are sequentially stacked and assembled, positioned, and the resonance piece 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 are There is a gap g0 between them, and a first chamber 121 is provided between the resonance piece 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13. Similarly, the small valve device 1B includes the valve piece 17 and the outlet plate 18 in order. Stacked and assembled, positioned on the air collecting plate 16 of the small fluid control device 1A, and the air collecting plate 16 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 of the small fluid control device 1A The first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166 are further recessed in the reference surface 161 of the air collecting plate 16, and the second pressure is applied to the reference surface 180 of the outlet plate 18. The relief chamber 183 and the second outlet chamber 184 are further recessed, and in this embodiment, the operating voltage by the small pneumatic power unit is ± 10V to ± 16V, and the plurality of different pressure chambers are piezoelectric. By combining the driving of the actuator 13 and the vibration of the resonance piece 12 and the valve piece 17, gas is accumulated and transmitted downward.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, when the piezoelectric actuator 13 of the small fluid control device 1A is actuated by receiving voltage and vibrates downward, the gas flows from the gas introduction hole 110 on the gas introduction plate 11 to the small fluid control device. 1A enters into the central recess 111 through at least one gas guide groove 112, and flows downward into the first chamber 121 through the hollow hole 120 on the resonance piece 12. ing. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7C, the resonance piece 12 also reciprocally vibrates along with this due to the resonance action of the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13, that is, vibrates downward, and the suspension plate 130 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. Due to the deformation of the resonance piece 12, the volume of the chamber in the central recess 111 of the gas introduction plate 11 is increased, and the volume of the first chamber 121 is compressed at the same time. It is urged that the gas inside is pressed so as to flow toward both sides, and flows downward through the gap 135 between the frames 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13, so that the small fluid control device 1A and the small valve device 1B from the first through hole 163 and the second through hole 164 communicating with the air collection chamber 162. Thus, the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166 flow correspondingly. As can be seen from this embodiment, when the resonating piece 12 performs vertical reciprocating vibration, the piezoelectric actuator 13 is The maximum distance of the vertical movement is increased by the gap g0, that is, the gap g0 provided between the two structures can cause a vertical movement with a larger width when the resonance piece 12 resonates. .

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7D, the resonance piece 12 of the small fluid control device 1A returns to the initial position, and the piezoelectric actuator 13 is driven by receiving a voltage and vibrates upward. Is d, and the difference from the gap g0 is x, that is, x = g0-d. According to the test, when x = 1 to 5 μm and the operation voltage is ± 10V to ± 16V, the maximum output The air pressure is at least 300 mmHg, but is not limited thereto. Similarly, when the volume of the first chamber 121 is pressed, the gas in the first chamber 121 flows on both sides, and the air collecting chamber 162, the second gas flows from the gap 135 between the frames 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. The pressure in the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166 continues to flow, so that the air pressure in the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166 increases, and the flexible valve piece 17 is lowered. In the second pressure relief chamber 183, the valve piece 17 is stuck downward and abuts the convex structure 181a at the end of the pressure relief hole 181 to pass the pressure relief. While the hole 181 is blocked, the valve hole 170 on the valve piece 17 corresponding to the outlet through-hole 182 in the second outlet chamber 184 is And the gas in the second outlet chamber 184 is transmitted downward from the outlet passage 182 to the outlet 19 and any device (not shown) connected to the outlet 19 for the purpose of pressure accumulation work. Have reached. Finally, as shown in FIG. 7E, the resonance piece 12 of the small fluid control device 1A resonates and moves upward, and the gas in the central recess 111 of the first surface 11b of the gas introduction plate 11 is resonated. When the gas flows into the first chamber 121 from the 12 hollow holes 120 and is continuously transmitted downward from the gap 135 between the frames 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 into the air collecting plate 16, this gas Since the pressure continuously increases downward, the gas flows through the air collection chamber 162, the second through-hole 164, the first outlet chamber 166, the second outlet chamber 184 and the outlet through-hole 182, and the outlet 19 and the outlet. The pressure accumulation operation can be driven by the external atmospheric pressure and the pressure difference in the apparatus, but is not limited to this.

  When the internal pressure of the device (not shown) connected to the outlet 19 becomes larger than the external pressure, the small pneumatic power unit 1 can perform the pressure reduction as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the method of releasing the pressure is to adjust the gas transmission amount of the small fluid control device 1A mainly as described above so that the gas does not enter the air collecting chamber 162. 19 enters the second outlet chamber 184 from the outlet through hole 182 connected to the outlet 19, so that the volume of the second outlet chamber 184 expands, and the flexible valve piece 17 is curved and deformed upward. It sticks and contacts the convex structure 167 of the chamber 166 upward, and the valve hole 170 of the valve piece 17 is closed, that is, the gas in the second outlet chamber 184 does not flow back into the first outlet chamber 166. Will, also, the gas in the second outlet chamber 184 through the communicating passage 185 flows into the second pressure relief chamber 183, have been made more pressure relief work from the pressure relief hole 181. As described above, the gas in the apparatus connected to the outlet 19 is discharged and reduced in pressure by the unidirectional gas transmission operation of the small valve device 1B or completely discharged to complete the pressure relief operation.

  The suspension plate 130 used in the present invention has a square shape, and when the length of the side of the suspension plate 130 is reduced and the area of the suspension plate 130 is gradually reduced accordingly, the size is reduced. As a result, the rigidity of the suspension plate 130 is improved, the volume of the internal gas flow path is reduced, which is advantageous for air pressing or compression, the maximum output air pressure is improved, and the vertical vibration of the suspension plate 130 is improved. The horizontal deformation that sometimes occurs is also reduced, and when the piezoelectric actuator 13 is operated, it is maintained in the same vertical direction and is less likely to tilt, so that between the piezoelectric actuator 13 and the resonator element 12 or other assembly member. It was found that by reducing the interference caused by the collision, the generation of noise is reduced and the product failure rate is reduced. From this, when the size of the suspension plate 130 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 is reduced, the piezoelectric actuator 13 can be made smaller, thereby not only improving the function of the output air pressure but also reducing the noise, and the product. The occurrence rate of defects can be suppressed. On the other hand, it was found that the output air pressure of the suspension plate 130 having a large size is small and the defect occurrence rate is relatively high.

  In addition, the suspension plate 130 and the piezoelectric ceramic plate 133 are the main points of the small pneumatic power unit 1, and as the area of both decreases, the area of the small pneumatic power unit 1 is also reduced at the same time, and its weight is also reduced. By being light, the small pneumatic power unit 1 can be easily installed on a mobile device without being restricted by a large volume. The small pneumatic power unit 1 according to the present invention has a total thickness of 1.5 mm to 4 mm when the small fluid control device 1A and the small valve device 1B are assembled in order to achieve the trend of thinning. In addition to achieving the purpose of making the small pneumatic power device 1 light and comfortable, it can be widely applied to medical equipment and related equipment.

  In summary, the small pneumatic power device of the present invention mainly combines a small fluid control device and a small valve device, and allows gas to enter from the gas introduction hole on the small fluid control device, and by the operation of the piezoelectric actuator. , Create a pressure gradient between the designed flow path and the pressure chamber, cause the gas to flow at a high speed and transmit it into the small valve device, and the unidirectional valve design of the small valve device makes the gas unidirectional The pressure can be accumulated and accumulated in any device connected to the outlet. When pressure reduction or pressure relief is desired, the transmission amount of the small fluid control device is adjusted, gas is transmitted from the device connected to the outlet to the second outlet chamber of the small valve device, and the second pressure is transmitted via the communication channel. After being transmitted to the relief chamber, it is made to flow out of the pressure relief through hole, and the gas is quickly transmitted, and at the same time, it achieves a silent effect and reduces the overall volume of the small pneumatic power unit to make it thinner. The purpose of providing a compact and pneumatic power device with simple and comfortable portability is achieved, and it can be widely applied to medical equipment and related equipment.
