The complexity of the overall structure is quite high. The difficulty of the garment process and the cost are known: South, and too many movable parts The structure also causes a decrease in stability. The function of the active valve is to make the fluid flow only to the direction of the ^. The conventional micro-pump is a passive check valve structure with a cantilever beam, which is operated frequently because of the valve opening and closing action, and at the valve opening. There are problems such as wear, penetration and fatigue, which cause inaccurate flow control. If the valve is blocked or stuck, the micro-pull will lose its original function. In order to overcome this problem, a valveless micro-pump is developed, which uses a piezoelectric actuator to drive a micro-membrane vibrating piece to increase the volume of the micro-pull cavity, and utilizes a diffusion port/nozzle (difibser/nozzle) disposed at the 胪髀Φ port. Structure to achieve the purpose of driving the fluid. The working principle of the valveless micro-pull is to use the difference in pressure loss caused by the difference in the taper of the inlet and outlet, which causes the difference of the inflow and outflow of the fluid to achieve the function of transporting the fluid. When the actuating film rises, the volume in the chamber gradually increases by 1284629 = the volume flow rate of the fluid flowing into the chamber at the inlet is greater than the volume flow rate of the fluid flowing into the chamber at the outlet to 1, which is the water absorption mode (Supplym〇de); When the moving film is lower, the volume in the chamber gradually decreases, and the volume flow rate outside the fluid outlet chamber at the outlet is larger than the volume flow rate outside the fluid outflow chamber at the inlet, which is a pump mode. However, the pressure difference between the flow rate and the compression provided by such a valveless micro-pump is quite limited, resulting in considerable practical limitations. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a microfluidic driving device that utilizes a structural design to enable a microfluidic driving device to generate different velocity fields and pressure fields to drive fluids under different parameter settings, thereby actively controlling fluid flow. Direction, increase fluid pressure and increase flow. The microfluidic driving device disclosed in the present invention is for driving a working fluid, comprising: a first actuation chamber, a first piezoelectric actuation H, a second actuation chamber, a micro flow channel and a second piezoelectric Actuator.

In order to make the purpose, features and functions of the present invention further detailed as follows: [Embodiment] 1284629 The microfluidic driving device provided by the embodiment of the present invention first forms chemical mechanical particles, and further synthesizes chemical mechanical polishing slurry. . Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention for driving a working fluid, including: a first chamber, a first piezoelectric actuator no, a second actuation chamber 200, The second pressure private actuator 210 and the micro flow channel 300. The first accommodating chamber 1 〇〇 has a first plenum 101 and a first opening 102 connected to the first accommodating space 101. The working fluid is filled in the first accommodating space 101, and the first accommodating space 101 is The deformation is to move the working fluid into and out of the first opening 102. The first piezoelectric actuator 110 is adjacent to the brother's actuator chamber 100 to apply force to deform the first housing space 1〇1. The second actuation month 200 has a second accommodating space 201 and a second opening 202 communicating with the second accommodating space 20|, the working fluid is filled in the second accommodating space 2〇1, the space 2〇1 It is deformable to drive the working fluid into and out of the second opening 2〇2. A piezoelectric actuator 210 is disposed adjacent to the second actuating chamber 2'' to bias the second receiving space 201. The micro flow channel 300 has a tapered structure and is connected to the first accommodating space 2〇1 and the second accommodating space 2〇1, and the working fluid can flow through the micro flow channel 3 (8) to the first accommodating space 101 and the second accommodating space. Space 201. The first opening 102, the micro flow channel 3〇〇 and the second opening 202 are all tapered openings. Moreover, the volumetric flow rate through the first opening 102 and the second opening 202 is different from the volume flow rate through the microchannel 3 through the structural design of the embodiment of the present invention. The principle of this method is to use the phase design of the first piezoelectric actuator and the second piezoelectric actuator to enable the microfluidic driving device to generate different velocity fields and pressure fields under different parameter settings to drive J1. As a fluid. Referring to FIG. 2, a comparison diagram of the phase difference and the operating flow rate of the embodiment of the present invention is simulated. The first piezoelectric actuator 110 and the second piezoelectric actuator 210 operate at different phases to generate a phase; ^ The large difference' even occurs when the phase difference exceeds 18 degrees, and the flow in the opposite flow direction is generated, and the output of the flow can be greatly increased when the phase difference is 9G degrees. It can be seen that at the same frequency and amplitude, the flow rate of the embodiment of the present invention can be eight times that of the microfluidic drive device of only a single actuator chamber. 7 1284629 Production reference 3A' is a simulation of the second embodiment of the present invention, which is not considered, the first piezoelectric actuator 11 〇 and the second piezoelectric _ _ 1 position difference 9G degrees When the second piezoelectric actuator 21G is pushed from the highest point to the first: the second receiving section G1 is made to be the second one. The outer 110 & the lowest point is moved upward to make the first actuating chamber The work of the ^ body into the first - accommodation space (9), and increase the flow. Η口 f 3B图' is an internal velocity distribution diagram of the first opening and the second i is fast, and the axis is 'the axis' of the embodiment of the present invention. It can be found that the workflow is at this time: the accommodation space 1G is made to be the second The working fluid discharged from the piezoelectric actuator 210-200 cannot flow in and out. The piezoelectric actuator 110 and the second (four) actuator 210 of the embodiment of the present invention have a reverse phenomenon in which the working fluid is moved to the second opening in a large amount. The occurrence of the second piezoelectric actuator 4 under the n-inch drive 苐 two accommodating space 2 〇 1 of the fluid flows into the first accommodating air-electric actuator 11G pushes the extruded fluid flow to the second accommodating air to the first An opening 102 flows out. From the above phenomenon, it can be found that changing the different phases can increase the output flow rate and change the fluid flow direction. (10) This column is based on the influence of the first electric actuator and the second pressure field and the diligent field to achieve the controllable flow direction, S 1 can be exempted from the wire type _ the slight cost and high complexity to overcome the existing Innocent micro-pull limited service and flow
