[Prior Art] A sheet-shaped piezoelectric vibrator is vibrated to obtain a pump. The piezoelectric pump is configured to form a pump chamber by a piezoelectric vibrator and a casing, and a pair of flow passages connected to the pump chamber are provided with a pair of check valves different in flow direction (allowing fluid to flow to the pump) The check valve of the chamber and the check valve that allows fluid flow from the pump chamber). When the piezoelectric vibrator vibrates, the volume of the pump chamber changes, and as the volume changes, one of the pair of check valves closes and the other opens, and the pump action is obtained. Such a piezoelectric pump is used as a cooling circulation pump such as a water-cooled notebook computer because of its thin shape. The piezoelectric vibrator is formed by laminating a piezoelectric body on at least one of the front and back surfaces of a spacer (conductive metal foil). The piezoelectric body has a polarization characteristic applied to the forward and reverse directions. When positive and negative polarities are applied between the positive and negative directions in the same direction or in the opposite direction to the polarization direction, one surface area is enlarged and the other surface area is reduced. nature. Therefore, the positive and negative polarities applied to the front and back surfaces of the piezoelectric body are alternately reversed, and the cycle in which one of the front and back surfaces is extended and the other contracted is repeated, and the spacer vibrates.

No. Hei. In the past, the piezoelectric vibrator was formed into a flat plate shape (a disk shape), and a ring-shaped ring (liquid-tight sealing member) that the peripheral edge portion abuts was compressed between the casing and the liquid-tight structure. The compressed O-ring applies a force in the direction of separation between the piezoelectric vibrator and the housing. Although this force does not affect the liquid-tight structure in the short term, it may cause adverse effects on the liquid-tight structure under long-term stress. The above-mentioned cooling circulating pump of the water-cooled notebook computer preferably has a liquid-tight structure in its application. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is based on the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a piezoelectric pump having high reliability in a liquid-tight structure around a piezoelectric vibrator. Another object is to provide a piezoelectric vibrator that is easy to obtain a highly reliable liquid-tight structure. A conventional flat (disk-shaped) piezoelectric vibrator has to compress a liquid-tight sealing member in a direction perpendicular to the plane direction of the vibrator, and the present invention is based on a liquid-tight structure in which the structure is subjected to long-term compression. The reason why the structure is unstable is known, and if the direction of compression is the radial direction of the vibrator, it is formed to improve the reliability. That is, the piezoelectric pump of the present invention is a piezoelectric vibrator formed by laminating at least one of the front and back surfaces of a spacer composed of a conductive metal foil, and a peripheral edge of the piezoelectric vibrator Liquid-tightly forming a housing of the pump chamber, applying an alternating current between the spacer of the piezoelectric vibrator and the piezoelectric body to vibrate the piezoelectric vibrator to cause the pump to act, in the piezoelectric vibrator The peripheral portion of the gasket forms a cylindrical bent portion, and a piezoelectric pump having a liquid-tight member interposed therebetween is disposed between the bent portion and the casing. The pump chamber may be in the form of one of the front and back surfaces of the piezoelectric vibrator and one of the front and back surfaces. In the form of one of the front and back surfaces, the liquid-tight sealing member may be located on one of the inner circumferential surface or the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical bent portion of the spacer of the piezoelectric vibrator. On the other hand, it is preferable that the form of both of the front and back surfaces is such that the liquid-tight sealing member is located on the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical bent portion of the spacer of the piezoelectric vibrator. Further, it is preferable that the outer flange portion is formed to be outwardly bent at the end portion of the cylindrical bent portion of the spacer. In the present invention, a piezoelectric vibrator formed by laminating at least one of the front and back surfaces of a spacer composed of a conductive metal foil forms a cylindrical bent portion at a peripheral portion of the spacer. [Embodiment] Fig. 7 is a view showing an example of a structure of a two-valve piezoelectric pump in a mode. The piezoelectric vibrator 10 is sandwiched and supported between the upper casing 20U and the bottom casing 20L constituting the casing 20, and a pump chamber A is formed between the upper casing 20U and the upper casing 20U. The housing 20 (upper housing 20U) has an opening for the inlet (21) and the outlet port 22 of cooling water (liquid) between the inlet port 21 and the pump chamber A, and between the pump chamber A and the outlet port 22 , the check valves 1 1 and 1 2 are respectively provided. The check valve 1 1 is a suction side check valve that allows fluid to flow from the inlet 埠 2 1 to the pump chamber A but does not allow the reverse flow of the fluid, and the check valve 1 2 allows the flow -6 - (4) ( 4) 200819631 The flow side from the pump chamber A to the outlet port 22 but does not allow the reverse flow of the outflow side check valve. In the piezoelectric pump described above, when the piezoelectric vibrator 1 is deformed in a positive reversing manner, the suction side check valve n is opened and the outflow side check valve 12 is closed during the stroke in which the volume of the pump chamber A is expanded. Fluid will flow from the inlet 埠2 1 into the pump chamber A (Fig. 7(B)). On the other hand, in the stroke of reducing the volume of the pump chamber A, the outflow side check valve 12 is opened and the suction side check valve 11 is closed, so that the fluid flows out from the pump chamber A to the outlet port 22 (Section 7(A) Figure). Therefore, the piezoelectric vibrator 1 is continuously elastically deformed (vibrated) in the forward and reverse directions, and a pump action is obtained. Figs. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment in which the present invention is applied to, for example, a piezoelectric pump having the above basic configuration. As for the piezoelectric vibrator 10, the present embodiment is a spacer 10 having a center portion in the drawing, and a piezoelectric body 102 laminated on one of the front and back surfaces of the spacer 101 (below the figure). Single layer piezoelectric beam type (unimorph type). The spacer 101 is integrally formed of a conductive metal foil material, for example, a stainless steel sheet having a thickness of about 0.2 mm, by a well-known method such as press molding, and has a circumferential edge at the center circular portion 10 1 a. A cylindrical bent portion 1 〇 1 b formed by bending the upper side of the figure, and a flange portion 1 0 1 formed by bending outward is formed at an upper end portion of the cylindrical bent portion 10 1 b c. The piezoelectric body 102 is composed of, for example, PZT (Pb (Zr, Ti) 03 ) having a thickness of about 0.3 mm, and is subjected to polarization treatment in the forward and reverse directions. The piezoelectric body 102 is formed in a circular shape corresponding to the central circular portion 1 〇 1 a of the spacer 101, and is adhered to the back surface of the central circular portion 10a by the conductive adhesive, on the piezoelectric body 102 The following is covered with 01) 200819631 (5) electrodes. An annular groove in which the piezoelectric vibrator 10 (the cylindrical bent portion 1 0 1 b of the spacer 1 and the flange 1 0 1 c and the Ο ring (liquid tight member) 24 are inserted is formed in the upper casing 20U. 25, a segment-shaped recess 26 into which the flange portion 1 〇1 C of the spacer 110 is inserted is formed in the bottom case 20L, and the segment-shaped recess portion 26 determines the position of the piezoelectric vibrator 1 in the axial direction. 24, the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical bent portion l〇lc and the annular groove 25 are pressed in a direction parallel to the plane direction of the piezoelectric vibrator 10 to maintain liquid-tightness. In Figs. 2 and 3, In the figure, the check valve 1 1 is of an umbrella shape, but the basic configuration is the same as that of Fig. 1. The gasket 11 flange portion 1 〇 1 c can be omitted, but the positional accuracy of the electron press 1 可以 can be improved. Further, the spacer 1 〇1 includes a central circular portion, a cylindrical bent portion l lb and a flange portion l lc, and is integrally formed of stainless steel, so that high liquid tightness can be ensured. The written compression direction is the planar direction, so that the upper casing 20U and the bottom casing can ensure rigidity even if it is thin, and thus it is easy for a thin piezoelectric pump. In the piezoelectric pump of the above configuration, an alternating current is applied to the spacer 101 and the piezoelectric body 1〇2, and the piezoelectric vibrator is vibrated to obtain the same pumping action as described with reference to the drawing. The ring 24 does not compress in a direction parallel to the plane direction of the electric vibrator 1 且 and does not exert a vertical force in the plane direction. That is, the O-ring 24 does not apply to the upper portion 20U and the bottom case 20L so that both The force in the direction of separation can be ensured during the period of liquid tightness. The seal has a vibration 101a piece that will be contracted between the 0-shapes, 12 " 1 24 20L, between the 7th and the pressure and the housing Length -8- (6) (6) 200819631 Fig. 4 is a view showing another embodiment of the present invention in which the 〇-shaped ring is located on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical bent portion 1 0 1 b of the spacer 101. In the present embodiment, only The annular groove 25 of the upper casing 20U supports the sheet 101 (piezoelectric vibrator 10), and only the upper casing 20U is present, and the bottom casing 20L is omitted. The single-layer piezoelectric beam type of the above embodiment ( The piezoelectric vibrator of the unimorph type is laminated on the surface opposite to the pump chamber A, but the theory The piezoelectric body 102 may be laminated on the pump chamber A side. However, when the piezoelectric body 102 is laminated on the surface opposite to the pump chamber A, liquid contacts the piezoelectric body 102, so it is preferably used for For example, when a piezoelectric body 102 is laminated on the pump chamber A side, the piezoelectric body 102 may be covered with a protective film or the like to prevent the liquid from directly contacting the piezoelectric body 102. In the case of contact, there is a case where the liquid-permeable protective film is used for a long period of time. From this point of view, it is preferable to laminate the piezoelectric body 102 on the side opposite to the pump chamber A. Fig. 8 is a view showing the principle of operation of the four valve type piezoelectric pumps of the present invention. The four valve type piezoelectric pumps are disposed between the piezoelectric vibrator 10 and the upper casing 20U, and between the piezoelectric vibrator 1〇 and the bottom casing 20L to form pump chambers A and B, respectively. The housing 20 is provided with a single inlet port 21 and a single outlet port 22, between which a pair of pump chambers A and B and an inlet port 21 are respectively provided to allow fluid to flow from the inlet port 21 to the pair. The pump chambers A and B, but not allowing the first and second suction side check valves HU, UL of the fluid flow in the opposite direction, are respectively provided between the pair of pump chambers A and B and the outlet port 22 to allow fluid to be supplied from The pair of pump chambers A and B flow -9-(7) (7) 200819631 to the outlet 埠2 2 but do not allow the first and second outflow side check valves 1 2 U, 1 of the fluid flow in the opposite direction 2 L. In the four-valve piezoelectric pump, when the piezoelectric vibrator 1 is deformed in a positive reversal manner (vibration), the stroke of the pump chambers A and B is increased, but the other volume is decreased. In the stroke in which the volume of the pump chamber A is increased (the volume of the pump chamber B is decreased), the check valve 1 1 U is opened, the fluid flows into the pump chamber A from the inlet 埠 2 1 , and the fluid in the pump chamber B is reversed. The valve 1 2U is opened and flows out to the outlet port 22 (Fig. 8 (B)). Conversely, in the stroke in which the volume of the pump chamber A is reduced (the volume of the pump chamber B is increased), the suction side check valve 1 1 L is opened and the fluid flows from the inlet port 2 1 into the pump chamber B, and the fluid in the pump chamber A Then, it flows out to the outlet port 22 via the opening of the outflow check valve 1 2U (Fig. 8 (A)). Therefore, the pulsation cycle of the outlet port 22 can be shortened (half the case where the pump chamber is formed only on one of the upper and lower sides of the piezoelectric vibrator 1). Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show an embodiment of a four-valve piezoelectric pump in which the present invention is applied to the above operational principle. In this embodiment, the piezoelectric vibrator 1 is composed of a single-layer piezoelectric beam type (unimorph type) in which the piezoelectric bodies 1〇2 are laminated on both sides of the central circular portion 10a, and is in the upper casing 20U and Between the bottom case 20L, an annular groove 27 into which the cylindrical bent portion 101b and the O-ring 24 of the spacer 1〇1 are inserted is formed. That is, the annular groove 27 is formed by the cylindrical convex portion 27a of the upper casing 20U and the cylindrical concave portion 27b of the bottom casing 20L. The cylindrical bent portion l〇1b and the ring-shaped ring 24 located on the inner peripheral side and the outer peripheral side, respectively, are inserted into the annular groove 27' to be compressed in a direction parallel to the plane direction of the piezoelectric vibrator 1 来 to retain the liquid. Secret-10-200819631 (8). In Figs. 5 and 6, the check valves 11U, 11L, 12U, and 12L are all of an umbrella shape, but the basic configuration is the same as that of Fig. 8. In the embodiment of the four valve type, an alternating current is applied between the piezoelectric body 102 and the spacer 1 0 1 of the same potential, and the piezoelectric vibrator 10 is vibrated to obtain a pumping action. According to the piezoelectric vibrator 10 of the bimorph type, the vibration amplitude can be increased more than the single-layer piezoelectric unimorph type, and the pump efficiency can be improved. Then, the ring-shaped rings 24 on the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical bent portion 1 0 1 b of the spacer 1 〇1 are compressed in a direction parallel to the plane direction of the piezoelectric vibrator 10, and will not be compressed. Compressed in a direction perpendicular to the plane direction. Therefore, the force in the separating direction is not applied to the upper casing 20U and the bottom casing 20L, and the liquid-tight structure can be secured for a long period of time.
