Table I         <TABLE border="1" borderColor="#000000" width="_0001"><TBODY><tr><td> Type and size of the suspension plate of the piezoelectric actuator</td><td> Operating frequency </td><td> Power consumption</td></tr><tr><td> Square (10mm side length) </td><td> 18kHz </td><td> 1.1W </td> </tr><tr><td> Circle (10mm diameter) </td><td> 28kHz </td><td> 1.5W </td></tr><tr><td> Square (9mm Side length) </td><td> 22kHz </td><td> 1.3W </td></tr><tr><td> Round (9mm diameter) </td><td> 34kHz </ Td><td> 2W </td></tr><tr><td> Square (8mm side length) </td><td> 27kHz </td><td> 1.5W </td></tr ><tr><td> Circle (8mm diameter) </td><td> 42kHz </td><td> 2.5W </td></tr></TBODY></TABLE>

The power consumption comparison data obtained by the above experiment can be presumed to be due to the fact that the power consumption of the capacitive load operating at the resonant frequency increases with the increase of the frequency, and is also squared by the side length. The resonant frequency of the designed suspension plate 130 is obviously lower than that of the same circular suspension plate j0, so the relative power consumption is also significantly lower, that is, the suspension plate 130 of the square design used in this case is compared with the circular suspension plate j0. Design, it has the advantage of power saving, especially for wearable devices, saving power is a very important design focus. However, in any case, the power saving effect of the above-mentioned square-designed suspension plate is obtained by experiments, and can not be directly derived from the theoretical formula. The speculation of the power-saving reason is only a reference for experimental rationality.

Referring to FIG. 5A to FIG. 5E , as shown in the figure, when the air inlet plate 11 , the resonant plate 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 are sequentially assembled, the hollow hole 120 of the resonant piece 12 can be The upper air intake plates 11 together form a chamber for the confluent gas, and a first chamber 121 is further formed between the resonant plate 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 for temporarily storing the gas, and the first chamber 121 Passing through the hollow hole 120 of the resonator piece 12 to communicate with the chamber at the central recess 111 of the first surface 11b of the air inlet plate 11, and the two sides of the first chamber 121 are supported by the bracket 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. The gap 135 is in communication with the microvalve device 1B disposed thereunder.

When the microfluidic control device 1A of the micropneumatic power unit 1 is actuated, the piezoelectric actuator 13 is mainly actuated by the voltage and the reciprocating vibration in the vertical direction is performed with the bracket 132 as a fulcrum. As shown in FIG. 5B, when the piezoelectric actuator 13 is vibrated downward by voltage actuation, since the resonance piece 12 is a light and thin sheet-like structure, when the piezoelectric actuator 13 vibrates, The resonance piece 12 also resonates to perform vertical reciprocating vibration, that is, the portion of the resonance piece 12 corresponding to the central concave portion 111 of the air inlet plate 11 is also flexurally deformed, that is, the resonance piece 12 corresponds to the The portion of the central recess 111 of the air inlet plate 11 is the movable portion 12a of the resonator piece 12, so that when the piezoelectric actuator 13 is bent downward, the movable portion 12a of the resonator piece 12 is brought in by the fluid. And pushing and the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13, and as the piezoelectric actuator 13 is deformed downward by the vibration, the gas enters through at least one air inlet hole 110 in the air inlet plate 11, and passes through the first At least one bus bar hole 112 of a surface 11b is collected at a central recess 111 at the center thereof, and flows downward into the first chamber 121 via a central hole 120 corresponding to the central recess 111 on the resonator piece 12, and thereafter Due to the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13, the resonator 12 will also resonate and be vertical. The reciprocating vibration, as shown in Fig. 5C, at this time, the movable portion 12a of the resonator piece 12 is also vibrated downward, and is attached to the convex portion 130c of the suspension plate 130 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 to be suspended. The distance between the area other than the convex portion 130c of the plate 130 and the converging portion 12b on both sides of the resonator piece 12 does not become small, and is deformed by the resonance piece 12 to compress the first chamber 121. The volume is closed, and the intermediate flow space of the first chamber 121 is closed, so that the gas inside thereof is pushed to flow to both sides, and then flows downward through the gap 135 between the brackets 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. As for the 5Dth diagram, the movable portion 12a of the resonator piece 12 is deformed by the bending vibration to return to the initial position, and the subsequent piezoelectric actuator 13 is driven by the voltage to vibrate upward, so that the first chamber 121 is also pressed. The volume, and at this time, the piezoelectric actuator 13 is lifted up, the displacement of the lift can be d, so that the gas in the first chamber 121 will flow toward both sides, thereby driving the gas continuously from the air inlet plate. At least one air inlet hole 110 in the 11 enters and flows into the chamber formed by the central recess 111. As shown in FIG. 5E, the resonant piece 12 is resonated upward by the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13 rising upward. The movable portion 12a of the resonator piece 12 is also in an upward position, so that the gas in the central recess portion 111 flows into the first chamber 121 from the central hole 120 of the resonator piece 12, and passes through the bracket 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. The gap 135 is passed down through the microfluidic control device 1A. It can be seen from this embodiment that when the resonant plate 12 performs vertical reciprocating vibration, it can be increased by the gap g0 between it and the piezoelectric actuator 13 to increase the maximum distance of its vertical displacement, in other words, in the two The gap g0 between the structures can cause the resonance piece 12 to generate a larger vertical displacement when resonating, wherein the piezoelectric actuator has a vibration displacement d, and the difference from the gap g0 is x, that is, x= G0-d, tested when x≦0um, is noisy; when x=1 to 5um, the maximum output pressure of the micro pneumatic power unit 1 can reach 350mmHg; when x=5 to 10um, the maximum output pressure of the micro pneumatic power unit 1 It can reach 250mmHg; when x=10~15um, the maximum output pressure of the micro-pneumatic power unit 1 can reach 150mmHg, and the numerical relationship is shown in the second list below. The above values are between 17K and 20K operating frequency and between ±10V and ±20V operating voltage. In this way, a pressure gradient is generated in the flow path design of the microfluidic control device 1A, so that the gas flows at a high speed, and the impedance difference between the flow path and the flow direction is transmitted, and the gas is transmitted from the suction end to the discharge end, and the gas is discharged at the discharge end. In this state, there is still the ability to continuously introduce gas and achieve the effect of mute.

In addition, in some embodiments, the vertical reciprocating vibration frequency of the resonant plate 12 can be the same as the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric actuator 13, that is, both can be simultaneously upward or downward, which can be implemented according to actual conditions. Any change is not limited to the mode of operation shown in this embodiment.

Please also refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 2A and FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, wherein FIG. 6A is a schematic diagram of the collector operation of the gas collecting plate 16 and the micro valve device 1B of the micro pneumatic power device shown in FIG. 1A. Fig. 6B is a schematic view showing the pressure relief operation of the gas collecting plate 16 and the micro valve device 1B of the micro pneumatic power device shown in Fig. 1A. As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 6A, the microvalve device 1B of the micro pneumatic power device 1 of the present invention is sequentially formed by stacking the valve piece 17 and the outlet plate 18, and is matched with the gas collecting plate 16 of the micro fluid control device 1A. Come to work.

In the present embodiment, the gas collecting plate 16 has a surface 160 and a reference surface 161 which is recessed to form a gas collecting chamber 162 for the piezoelectric actuator 13 to be controlled by the microfluid. The gas that is transmitted downward from the device 1A is temporarily stored in the gas collection chamber 162, and has a plurality of through holes in the gas collection plate 16, and includes a first through hole 163 and a second through hole 164, first One end of the through hole 163 and the second through hole 164 is in communication with the air collection chamber 162, and the other end is respectively connected to the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166 on the reference surface 161 of the gas collecting plate 16 respectively. Connected. Further, a protrusion structure 167 is further added to the first outlet chamber 166. For example, but not limited to a column structure, the height of the protrusion structure 167 is higher than the reference surface 161 of the gas collecting plate 16 . And the height of the protrusion structure 167 is between 0.3 mm and 0.55 mm, and its preferred value is 0.4 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. The pressure relief through hole 181 and the outlet through hole 182 extend through the reference surface 180 of the outlet plate 18. The second surface 187 is recessed with a second pressure relief chamber 183 and a second outlet chamber 184. The pressure relief through hole 181 is disposed at a central portion of the second pressure relief chamber 183, and is second. There is a communication passage 185 between the pressure relief chamber 183 and the second outlet chamber 184 for gas circulation, and one end of the outlet through hole 182 is connected to the second outlet chamber 184, and the other end is connected to the outlet. 19 is connected. In this embodiment, the outlet 19 can be connected to a device (not shown), such as a press, but not limited thereto.

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

When the valve piece 17 is assembled and assembled between the gas collecting plate 16 and the outlet plate 18, the pressure relief through hole 181 of the outlet plate 18 corresponds to the first through hole 163 of the gas collecting plate 16, the second pressure relief chamber The chamber 183 corresponds to the first pressure relief chamber 165 of the gas collecting plate 16, and the second outlet chamber 184 corresponds to the first outlet chamber 166 of the gas collecting plate 16, and the valve piece 17 is disposed on the gas collecting chamber. Between the plate 16 and the outlet plate 18, the first pressure relief chamber 165 is in communication with the second pressure relief chamber 183, and the valve hole 170 of the valve piece 17 is disposed in the second through hole 164 and the outlet through hole. Between 182, and the valve hole 170 is located corresponding to the convex structure 167 of the first outlet chamber 166 of the gas collecting plate 16, by the design of the single valve hole 170, so that the gas can be reached according to the pressure difference thereof. The purpose of one-way flow.

Further, at one end of the pressure relief through hole 181 of the outlet plate 18, a convex portion structure 181a formed by a protrusion may be further added, for example, but not limited to a cylindrical structure, and the height of the convex portion structure 181a is between 0.3 mm and Between 0.55 mm, and preferably 0.4 mm, and the convex structure 181a is improved to increase its height, the height of the convex structure 181a is higher than the reference surface 180 of the outlet plate 18 to strengthen the valve The sheet 17 quickly abuts and closes the pressure relief through hole 181, and achieves a pre-stressing effect to completely seal the effect; and the outlet plate 18 further has at least one limiting structure 188, the height of the limiting structure 188 is 0.32 mm, Taking the embodiment as an example, the limiting structure 188 is disposed in the second pressure relief chamber 183 and is an annular block structure, and is not limited thereto, and is mainly used for collecting the micro valve device 1B. At the time, it is provided to assist the valve piece 17 to prevent the valve piece 17 from collapsing, and the valve piece 17 can be opened or closed more quickly.

When the microvalve device 1B is pressurized, it is mainly as shown in Fig. 6A, which can be based on the pressure supplied by the gas from the microfluidic control device 1A, or when the external atmospheric pressure is greater than the outlet. When the internal pressure of the connected device (not shown) is 19, the gas flows from the gas collecting chamber 162 in the gas collecting plate 16 of the microfluidic control device 1A through the first through hole 163 and the second through hole 164, respectively. The lower flow into the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166. At this time, the downward gas pressure causes the flexible valve piece 17 to be bent downward to deform the volume of the first pressure relief chamber 165. Increasingly, and corresponding to the end portion of the first through hole 163, which is flatly pressed against the end of the pressure relief through hole 181, the pressure relief through hole 181 of the outlet plate 18 can be closed, so that the second pressure relief chamber 183 The gas inside does not flow out from the relief pressure through hole 181. Of course, in this embodiment, a design of the protrusion structure 181a can be added to the end of the pressure relief through hole 181 to strengthen the valve piece 17 to quickly contact and close the pressure relief through hole 181, and achieve a pre-stressing function to completely seal. The effect is simultaneously and through the ring structure 188 disposed around the pressure relief through hole 181 to assist in supporting the valve piece 17 so as not to collapse. On the other hand, since the gas system flows downward from the second through hole 164 into the first outlet chamber 166, and the valve piece 17 corresponding to the first outlet chamber 166 is also bent downward, the corresponding The valve hole 170 is opened downward, and the gas can flow from the first outlet chamber 166 through the valve hole 170 into the second outlet chamber 184, and the outlet through hole 182 flows to the outlet 19 and the device connected to the outlet 19. In the (not shown), the device is operated by collecting pressure.

Referring to FIG. 6B, when the microvalve device 1B is depressurized, it can control the gas transfer amount of the microfluidic control device 1A so that the gas is no longer input into the gas collection chamber 162, or when it is connected to the outlet. When the internal pressure of the connected device (not shown) is greater than the atmospheric pressure of the outside, the microvalve device 1B can be depressurized. At this time, the gas is introduced into 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 is expanded, thereby causing the flexible valve piece 17 to be bent upward and deformed, and The valve hole 170 of the valve piece 17 is closed against the gas collecting plate 16 by flattening against the top of the gas collecting plate 16. Of course, in the embodiment, the design of the protrusion structure 167 can be added by using the first outlet chamber 166, so that the flexible valve piece 17 can be bent upwardly to change quickly, so that the valve hole 170 is more favorable to achieve a pre-prevention. The force resisting action completely adheres to the closed state of the seal. Therefore, when in the initial state, the valve hole 170 of the valve piece 17 is closed by being in close contact with the convex portion structure 167, the second outlet chamber 184 is closed. The gas will not flow back into the first outlet chamber 166 to achieve a better effect of preventing gas leakage. And the gas system in the second outlet chamber 184 can flow into the second pressure relief chamber 183 via the communication passage 185, thereby expanding the volume of the second pressure relief chamber 183 and corresponding to the second discharge The valve piece 17 of the pressure chamber 183 is also bent upwardly. At this time, since the valve piece 17 is not closed to the end of the pressure relief through hole 181, the pressure relief through hole 181 is in an open state, that is, the second pressure relief chamber. The gas in the chamber 183 can flow outward from the pressure relief through hole 181 to perform a pressure relief operation. Of course, in this embodiment, the flexible valve piece 17 can be bent upward by using the convex portion structure 181a at the end of the pressure relief through hole 181 or through the limiting structure 188 disposed in the second pressure relief chamber 183. The shape change is fast, and it is more advantageous to deviate from the state of closing the pressure relief through hole 181. In this way, the gas in the device (not shown) connected to the outlet 19 can be discharged by the one-way pressure relief operation, and the pressure can be reduced or completely discharged to complete the pressure relief operation.

Please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 2A and FIGS. 7A to 7E simultaneously, wherein FIGS. 7A to 7E are schematic diagrams of the collective pressure operation of the micro pneumatic power device shown in FIG. 1A. As shown in FIG. 7A, the micro-pneumatic power unit 1 is composed of a micro-fluid control device 1A and a micro-valve device 1B, wherein the micro-fluid control device 1A is sequentially connected to the air-inlet plate 11 and the resonating plate 12 as described above. The piezoelectric actuator 13, the insulating sheet 141, the conductive sheet 15, the other insulating sheet 142, and the gas collecting plate 16 are stacked and assembled, and are disposed between the resonant sheet 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13. a gap g0, and a first chamber 121 between the resonator piece 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13, and the microvalve device 1B is also sequentially stacked and assembled by the valve piece 17 and the outlet plate 18, etc. The gas collecting plate 16 of the fluid control device 1A is formed with a gas collecting chamber 162 and a reference surface of the gas collecting plate 16 between the gas collecting plate 16 of the microfluidic control device 1A and the piezoelectric actuator 13 . The 161 is further recessed into the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166, and the reference surface 180 of the outlet plate 18 is further recessed by a second pressure relief chamber 183 and a second outlet chamber 184, in this embodiment. The operation frequency of the micro pneumatic power device is between 27K and 29.5K, and operates Pressure ± 10V to ± 16V, and by a plurality of such different pressure chambers with a piezoelectric actuator 13 of the drive plate 12 and the resonant vibration of the valve plate 17, so that the gas pressure set down transmission.

As shown in Fig. 7B, when the piezoelectric actuator 13 of the microfluidic control device 1A is vibrated downward by the voltage, the gas enters the microfluidic control device 1A from the intake hole 110 in the air intake plate 11. And passing through at least one bus bar hole 112 to be collected to the central recess portion 111, and then flowing downward into the first chamber 121 via the hollow hole 120 on the resonator piece 12. Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 7C, the resonance piece 12 is also reciprocally vibrated by the resonance of the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13, that is, it vibrates downward and is close to the piezoelectric actuator. The convex portion 130c of the suspension plate 130 of 13 is deformed by the resonance piece 12, so that the volume of the chamber at the central concave portion 111 of the air inlet plate 11 is increased, and at the same time, the volume of the first chamber 121 is compressed, thereby further The gas in the first chamber 121 is caused to flow toward both sides, and then flows downward through the gap 135 between the brackets 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 to flow to the microfluidic control device 1A and the microvalve device. The first through hole 163 and the second through hole 164 communicating with the gas collecting chamber 162 are correspondingly flowed into the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first out. In the oral chamber 166, it can be seen from the embodiment that when the resonant sheet 12 performs vertical reciprocating vibration, the gap between the piezoelectric actuator 13 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 can be increased to increase the maximum displacement of the vertical displacement. In other words, the gap g0 is provided between the two structures to make the resonator piece 12 generate a larger amplitude when resonating. The upper and lower displacement.

Next, as shown in Fig. 7D, since the resonator piece 12 of the microfluidic control device 1A is returned to the initial position, the piezoelectric actuator 13 is driven by the voltage to vibrate upward, and the vibration displacement of the piezoelectric actuator For d, the difference from the gap g0 is x, that is, x=g0-d, which is tested when x=1 to 5um, the operating frequency is 27k to 29.5KHz, and the operating voltage is ±10V to ±16V. The output air pressure can reach at least 300mmHg, but not limited to this. The volume of the first chamber 121 is also squeezed in such a manner that the gas in the first chamber 121 flows toward both sides and is continuously input to the plenum chamber by the gap 135 between the holders 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 162. The first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166 further increase the air pressure in the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166, thereby pushing the flexible valve piece 17 When the bending deformation is generated downward, in the second pressure relief chamber 183, the valve piece 17 is laid flat against the convex portion structure 181a at the end of the pressure relief through hole 181, thereby closing the pressure relief through hole 181. In the second outlet chamber 184, the valve hole 170 corresponding to the outlet through hole 182 of the valve piece 17 is opened downward, so that the gas in the second outlet chamber 184 can be transmitted downward from the outlet through hole 182 to the outlet 19. And any device (not shown) connected to the outlet 19, in order to achieve the purpose of the pressure collection operation. Finally, as shown in FIG. 7E, when the resonator piece 12 of the microfluidic control device 1A is resonantly displaced upward, the gas in the central recess 111 of the first surface 11b of the air inlet plate 11 can be made by the hollow hole 120 of the resonator piece 12. Flowing into the first chamber 121 and continuously transmitting downward into the gas collecting plate 16 via the gap 135 between the brackets 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13, the gas pressure system continues to increase downward, so the gas Still continuing to flow through the plenum chamber 162, the second through hole 164, the first outlet chamber 166, the second outlet chamber 184, and the outlet through hole 182 to the outlet 19 and any device connected to the outlet 19, The collecting operation can be driven by the atmospheric pressure of the outside and the pressure difference in the device, but not limited thereto.

When the pressure inside the device (not shown) connected to the outlet 19 is greater than the external pressure, the micro-pneumatic power device 1 can perform the step-down or pressure-reduction operation as shown in FIG. The pressure relief operation mode is mainly as described above, and the gas can be no longer input into the air collection chamber 162 by regulating the gas transmission amount of the micro fluid control device 1A. At this time, the gas will be connected to the outlet connected to the outlet 19. The through hole 182 is input into the second outlet chamber 184, so that the volume of the second outlet chamber 184 is expanded, thereby causing the flexible valve piece 17 to be bent upwardly and flattened upwardly against the first outlet chamber. The convex portion 167 of the 166 is closed, so that 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; and, in the second outlet chamber 184 The gas system can flow into the second pressure relief chamber 183 via the communication flow passage 185, and then the pressure relief through hole 181 can be used for pressure relief operation; thus, the one-way gas transmission operation of the micro valve structure 1B can be performed. The gas in the device connected to the outlet 19 is discharged and depressurized, or completely A relief to complete the job.

As can be seen from the above description, in the micro-pneumatic power unit 1 of the present invention, as the micro-pneumatic power unit 1 is miniaturized, the various performance changes are as shown in Table 3 below:

Table 3         <TABLE border="1" borderColor="#000000" width="_0003"><TBODY><tr><td> Square suspension board length</td><td> 7.5mm </td><td> 8mm </td><td> 8.5mm </td><td> 10mm </td><td> 12mm </td><td> 14mm </td></tr><tr><td> Frequency< /td><td> 28K Hz </td><td> 27K Hz </td><td> 27K Hz </td><td> 18K Hz </td><td> 15K Hz </td><td > 15K Hz </td></tr><tr><td> Maximum output pressure</td><td> 400mmHg </td><td> 400mmHg </td><td> 320mmHg </td><td > 300mmHg </td><td> 250mmHg </td><td> 200mmHg </td></tr><tr><td> Product defect rate</td><td> 1/25=4% </ Td><td> 1/25=4% </td><td> 3/25=12% </td><td> 10/25=40% </td><td> 12/25=48% </td><td> 15/25=60% </td></tr></TBODY></TABLE>

It can be seen from the table that after the actual experiment of sampling 25 micro-pneumatic power unit 1 products, the conclusion obtained by the experiment is that the process of gradually reducing the length of the square suspension plate 130 to 14 mm is gradually reduced to 7.5 mm. It is found that while the length of the sides is reduced, the function of the yield and the maximum output pressure is gradually increased, and the obtained preferred size is 7.5 mm to 8.5 mm, and it is further found that the preferred size is particularly at the operating frequency thereof. Between 27K and 29.5KHz , the function of increasing the maximum output air pressure can reach at least 300mmHg. The reason for the above phenomenon is that when the side length of the suspension plate 130 is lowered, the suspension plate 130 is reduced in the horizontal direction when it is vertically vibrated, so that the kinetic energy in the vertical direction can be effectively utilized, and the side length is lowered. The error value in the vertical direction during assembly can be reduced, thereby reducing the collision between the suspension plate 130 and the resonant plate 12 or other assembled components, which involves maintaining a certain distance between the suspension plate 130 and the resonant plate 12, and thus the yield. The ability to increase and simultaneously increase its maximum output air pressure. In addition, when the size of the suspension plate 130 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 is reduced, the piezoelectric actuator 13 can be made smaller, and the internal gas flow path volume is reduced when the vibration is not easily inclined, which is advantageous. The push or compression of the air improves performance and simultaneously reduces the overall component size. Further, as described above, in the case where the piezoelectric actuator 13 is provided with the suspension plate 130 and the piezoelectric ceramic plate 133 having a large size, since the suspension plate 130 is inferior in rigidity, it is easily twisted and deformed during vibration, making it easy. Collision interference occurs between the resonance plate 12 or other assembled components, so that the noise generation ratio is high, and the noise problem is also one of the causes of product defects, so the defective ratio of the large-sized suspension plate 130 and the piezoelectric ceramic plate 133 Therefore, when the size of the suspension plate 130 and the piezoelectric ceramic plate 133 is reduced, in addition to the advantages of improved performance and noise reduction, the defective rate of the product can also be reduced.

In any case, the above-mentioned function of reducing the length of the suspension plate 130 to increase the yield and increase the maximum output pressure is obtained by experiments, and can not be directly derived from the theoretical formula, which enhances the functional reasons. The speculation is only a reference for the rationality of the experiment.

Of course, in this case, the micro-pneumatic power unit 1 has a tendency to be thinned, and the micro-fluidity control device 1A is assembled with the micro-valve device 1B to have a total thickness of 2 mm to 6 mm, thereby enabling the micro-gas power unit 1 to be portable and portable. For the purpose of the application, and can be widely used in medical equipment and related equipment.

In summary, the micro-pneumatic power unit provided in the present case mainly uses micro-fluid control device and micro-valve device to form a gas, and allows gas to enter from the air inlet hole of the micro-fluid control device, and utilizes piezoelectric actuation. Actuation, the gas creates a pressure gradient in the designed flow channel and pressure chamber, so that the gas flows at high speed and is transmitted to the micro valve device, and then through the one-way valve design of the micro valve device, the gas is in one direction Flow, which in turn accumulates pressure in any device connected to the outlet; when depressurization or depressurization is required, the amount of microfluidic control device is regulated and the gas can be transferred from the device connected to the outlet to the micro The second outlet chamber of the valve device is transmitted to the second pressure relief chamber by the connecting flow passage, and then flows out through the pressure relief through hole, so as to achieve rapid transmission of the gas and at the same time achieve the effect of mute Moreover, the overall volume of the micro gas power device can be reduced and thinned, thereby enabling the micro gas power device to achieve portable and portable purposes, and can be widely used. Used in medical equipment and related equipment. Therefore, the micro-gas powered device in this case is of great industrial use value and is submitted in accordance with the law.

Even though the present invention has been described in detail by the above-described embodiments, it can be modified by those skilled in the art, and it is intended to be protected as intended by the appended claims.
