Abstract

A valveless micro impedance pump is composed of a lower structure layer, an intermediate structure layer, an upper structure layer and a piezoelectric element. The inlet, outlet, channels, upper and lower vibration membranes and protrusion of the valveless micro impedance pump are formed by sealing the intermediate and upper structure layers, and the piezoelectric element is mounted on the protrusion and the stable base. In the case of that the piezoelectric element is actuated under electric field, the upper and lower membranes are pushed by the portion in connection with the protrusion so as to pump the medium in the channels towards the inlet and outlet on both sides. Transmission of waves causes impedance depending on the structure of the upper and lower membranes and stiffness of the base and the lower structure layer, thereby a valveless micro impedance pump is formed for transmitting medium.

A piezoelectric element 6 3 and a second micro flow tube 6 4 are composed. The operating principle is to apply a driving voltage to the piezoelectric element 63. When the piezoelectric element 63 is actuated, a vibrating film 6 2 is driven, and the vibrating film 6 2 1 causes a volume change of the intermediate flow path 65 due to deformation. This creates a change in pressure. The water enters the expanded passage 6 through a water inlet 6 6 through the intermediate flow passage 6 5 and through the other expansion passage 6 8 to the outlet 6 9 . By the volume displacement of the intermediate flow passage 65, the pressure difference is generated between the inlet and outlet nozzles 6, 6 and 69, and the net flow rate of the outlet port 6g is greater than the net flow rate of the inlet port 66, so that the flow direction of the water will be discharged from the inlet 6 6 Nozzle 6 ^ ο Due to the complicated design of the expansion channel of the conventional piezoelectric valveless micropump, and the liquid flow direction has only a single direction, in addition to being uneconomical, the utility is also limited due to the function of only a single flow direction. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a valveless impedance type micropump, which utilizes the difference in the hardness and hardness of the structure or material between materials. Therefore, the medium will be affected by the difference of the impedance value of the flow channel when the diaphragm is fluctuating in the flow channel $6 1288740, thereby achieving the function of the transfer medium. For the purpose of the foregoing, the present invention comprises: a structural bottom layer having an opening; a structural intermediate layer disposed at a top end of the bottom layer of the structure, wherein the opening position corresponding to the bottom layer of the structure utilizes a second plane and a bottom surface The intermediate layer of the structure defines a flow path slightly larger than the width of the opening, and defines a region between the bottom surface of the flow channel and the bottom layer of the structure as a lower diaphragm; a top layer of the structure is disposed at the top of the intermediate layer of the structure, The utility model has a fixing seat, the fixing seat has a groove adjacent to the middle portion, the groove has a convex block therein, and the left and right sides of the groove are respectively provided with an inlet and outlet port between the left and right end faces of the top layer of the structure, respectively The water inlet and outlet respectively communicate with the flow channel, and the area surrounded by the bottom surface of the groove extending to the left and right sides of the imaginary baseline and intersecting the downward projection lines of the inlet and outlet ports respectively is defined as an up-vibration The film is such that the upper diaphragm becomes the top surface of the flow channel; and a piezoelectric element has a bottom surface in the longitudinal direction thereof fixed to the top end of the bump and the top surface of the fixing seat. The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily understood from Of course, the invention may be different in some of the components, or the arrangement of the components, but the selected embodiment is described in detail in the specification, and is shown in the drawings. [Embodiment] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 7, which show the structure of the embodiment selected for the present invention, which is for illustrative purposes only and is not limited by this structure in the patent application. The valveless impedance type micropump 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, includes: Φ a sheet-like structural bottom layer 10 having a hole 1 〇1 in the centering position; The intermediate layer 1 1 of the flaky structure is disposed at the top end of the bottom layer 丄0 of the structure, and a groove slightly larger than the width of the opening 10 1 is formed corresponding to the opening 1 〇丄 of the bottom layer 1 of the structure to define A narrow flow passage ii 3 for flowing a medium (which may be water or other liquid), and defining a region between the bottom surface of the flow passage 1 1 3 and the bottom layer of the structural structure as the lower diaphragm 11 • 4. a top layer 12 of the structure is disposed at the top end of the intermediate layer 1 1 of the structure, so that the bottom surface of the structure layer 12 is the top surface of the flow channel 1 1 3 , and has a fixing seat 121 adjacent to the fixing seat 121 There is a groove 1 2 2 in the middle, in this example, the groove 1 2 2 is oppositely arranged with the opening 1 〇1 and has the same width; a bump is formed at the bottom edge of the groove 1 2 2 1 2 3 'In the present embodiment, the bump 1 2 3 is an asymmetrical arrangement 1288740 and is biased to the left side of the groove i 2 2 in the longitudinal direction, and the length of the groove i 2 2 is left, An inlet and outlet port 124 is respectively disposed between the right side and the left and right end faces of the top layer 12 of the structure, and each of the inlet and outlet ports 1 2 4 communicates with the flow channel 1 1 3 respectively, and is defined by the bottom surface area of the groove 1 2 2 A piezoelectric element 2 is mounted on both sides of the upper edge of the groove 1 2 2 of the top surface of the fixing base 121, and the bottom surface of the piezoelectric element 2 is adjacent to the top end of the convex piece 3 2 3 . The principle of operation of the piezoelectric element 2 operates in the form of un丨0rPh or by-morph in this example. As shown in Fig. 3, since the piezoelectric element 2 for driving the micropump is fixed to the top surface of the fixing base 121, the upper diaphragm of the connecting projection 1 2 3 can be pushed to generate a shock wave, so that the medium is In the flow channel 1 1 3, the upper and lower diaphragms are squeezed by the upper and lower diaphragms 1 2 5 and 1 14 to the inlet and outlet ports 1 2 4, and the diaphragm 1 2 5 and the lower portion are formed on the flow path 1 1 3 The impedance value of the diaphragm 1 14 compared to the solid seat 1 2 1 and the bottom layer 1 结构 of the structure is such that the flow path 1 1 3 has a thick difference, so that the flow path 1 1 3 will be different at different positions. The degree of softness and hardness, together with the asymmetric design of the position of the bumps 1 2 3, makes the bumps 1 2 3 closer to the fixed seats 1 2 1 on the single side of the grooves 1 2 2, so that the wave collision of the medium is closer to the When the fixing block of the bump 1 2 3 is 1 2 1 , it will be reflected back in the reverse direction, whereby the collision and reflection will continue, and the transmission of the medium will go far and far from the bump 1 2 3 into and out of the 9 1288740 nozzle. 1 2 4 flow to 'At the same time, when changing the driving frequency of the piezoelectric element 2, there can be different flow control, and there will be a reverse flow phenomenon.
