本案的微型气压动力装置1中的相关实施例,压电致动器13的所以采用正方形悬浮板130,其原因在于相较于圆形悬浮板(如图4A所示的(j)~(l)态样的圆形悬浮板j0)的设计,该正方形悬浮板130的结构明显具有省电的优势,因在共振频率下操作的电容性负载,其消耗功率会随频率的上升而增加,又因边长正方形悬浮板130的共振频率明显较圆形悬浮板j0低,故其相对的消耗功率亦明显较低,亦即本案所采用正方形设计的压电致动器13,令其具有省电优势,尤其是应用于穿戴装置,节省电力是非常重要的设计重点。In the related embodiment of the micro-pneumatic power device 1 of the present application, the piezoelectric actuator 13 adopts a square suspension board 130, the reason is that compared with the circular suspension board ((j)-(l) shown in FIG. 4A ) design of the circular hoverboard j0), the structure of the square hoverboard 130 obviously has the advantage of power saving, due to the capacitive load operating at the resonant frequency, its power consumption will increase with the increase of the frequency, and Since the resonant frequency of the rectangular suspension board 130 is significantly lower than that of the circular suspension board j0, its relative power consumption is also significantly lower. That is, the square-shaped piezoelectric actuator 13 used in this case can save power. Advantages, especially for wearable devices, power saving is a very important design focus.

请续参阅图5A至图5E,如图所示,当进气板11、共振片12与压电致动器13依序对应组装后,则于共振片12的中空孔洞120处可与其上的进气板11共同形成一汇流气体的腔室,且在共振片12与压电致动器13之间更形成一第一腔室121,用以暂存气体,且第一腔室121是透过共振片12的中空孔洞120而与进气板11第一表面11b的中心凹部111处的腔室相连通,且第一腔室121的两侧则由压电致动器13的支架132之间的空隙135而与设置于其下的微型阀门装置1B相连通。Please continue to refer to FIG. 5A to FIG. 5E . As shown in the figures, after the air intake plate 11 , the resonance plate 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 are assembled correspondingly in sequence, the hollow hole 120 of the resonance plate 12 can be connected with the above The gas inlet plates 11 together form a chamber for converging gas, and a first chamber 121 is further formed between the resonance plate 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 for temporarily storing the gas, and the first chamber 121 is transparent. Through the hollow hole 120 of the resonance plate 12, it communicates with the cavity at the central concave portion 111 of the first surface 11b of the air inlet plate 11, and the two sides of the first cavity 121 are connected by the brackets 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. The gap 135 therebetween is communicated with the microvalve device 1B arranged under it.
当微型气压动力装置1的微型流体控制装置1A作动时,主要由压电致动器13受电压致动而以支架132为支点,进行垂直方向的往复式振动。如图5B所示,当压电致动器13受电压致动而向下振动时,由于共振片12是为轻、薄的片状结构,是以当压电致动器13振动时,共振片12亦会随的共振而进行垂直的往复式振动,即为共振片12对应于该进气板11的中心凹部111的部分亦会随的弯曲振动形变,即该共振片12对应于该进气板11的中心凹部111的部分是为共振片12的可动部12a,是以当压电致动器13向下弯曲振动时,此时共振片12的可动部12a会因流体的带入及推压以及压电致动器13振动的带动,而随着压电致动器13向下弯曲振动形变,则气体由进气板11上的至少一进气孔110进入,并透过其第一表面11b的至少一汇流排孔112以汇集到中央的中心凹部111处,再经由共振片12上与中心凹部111对应设置的中央孔洞120向下流入至第一腔室121中,其后,由于受压电致动器13振动的带动,共振片12亦会随的共振而进行垂直的往复式振动,如图5C所示,此时共振片12的可动部12a亦随的向下振动,并贴附抵触于压电致动器13的悬浮板130的凸部130c上,使悬浮板130的凸部130c以外的区域与共振片12两侧的固定部12b之间的汇流腔室的间距不会变小,并借由此共振片12的形变,以压缩第一腔室121的体积,并关闭第一腔室121中间流通空间,促使其内的气体推挤向两侧流动,进而经过压电致动器13的支架132之间的空隙135而向下穿越流动。至于图5D则为其共振片12的可动部12a经由弯曲振动形变后,而回复至初始位置,而后续压电致动器13受电压驱动以向上振动,如此同样挤压第一腔室121的体积,又此时由于压电致动器13是向上抬升,该抬升的位移可为d,因而使得第一腔室121内的气体会朝两侧流动,进而带动气体持续地自进气板11上的至少一进气孔110进入,再流入中心凹部111所形成的腔室中,再如图5E所示,该共振片12受压电致动器13向上抬升的振动而共振向上,共振片12的可动部12a亦至向上位置,进而使中心凹部111内的气体再由共振片12的中央孔洞120而流入第一腔室121内,并经由压电致动器13的支架132之间的空隙135而向下穿越流出微型流体控制装置1A。由此实施态样可见,当共振片12进行垂直的往复式振动时,是可由其与压电致动器13之间的间隙g0以增加其垂直位移的最大距离,换句话说,于该两结构之间设置间隙g0可使共振片12于共振时可产生更大幅度的上下位移,而其中该压电致动器的振动位移为d,与该间隙g0的差值为x,即x=g0-d,经测试当x≦0um,为有噪音状态;当x=1至5um,微型气压动力装置1最大输出气压可达到350mmHg;当x=5至10um,微型气压动力装置1最大输出气压可达到250mmHg;当x=10至15um,微型气压动力装置1最大输出气压可达到150mmHg,其数值对应关系是如下列表一所示。上述的数值是在操作电压为±10V至±20V之间。如此,在经此微型流体控制装置1A的流道设计中产生压力梯度,使气体高速流动,并透过流道进出方向的阻抗差异,将气体由吸入端传输至排出端,且在排出端有气压的状态下,仍有能力持续推出气体,并可达到静音的效果。When the micro-fluid control device 1A of the micro-pneumatic power device 1 is actuated, the piezoelectric actuator 13 is mainly actuated by a voltage, and the support 132 is used as a fulcrum to reciprocate in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 5B , when the piezoelectric actuator 13 is actuated by a voltage and vibrates downward, since the resonant plate 12 is a light and thin sheet-like structure, when the piezoelectric actuator 13 vibrates, the resonance plate 12 resonates. The sheet 12 will also perform vertical reciprocating vibration with the resonance, that is, the part of the resonance sheet 12 corresponding to the central concave portion 111 of the air intake plate 11 will also deform with bending vibration, that is, the resonance sheet 12 corresponds to the intake plate 11. The central concave portion 111 of the gas plate 11 is the movable portion 12a of the resonance sheet 12, so when the piezoelectric actuator 13 bends downward, the movable portion 12a of the resonance sheet 12 will be affected by the fluid belt. As the piezoelectric actuator 13 bends downward and vibrates and deforms, the gas enters through at least one air intake hole 110 on the air intake plate 11 and passes through the piezoelectric actuator 13. At least one busbar hole 112 on the first surface 11b is collected to the central central concave portion 111, and then flows downward into the first chamber 121 through the central hole 120 on the resonance plate 12 corresponding to the central concave portion 111. Afterwards, driven by the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13, the resonant plate 12 will also resonate and vibrate vertically, as shown in FIG. Vibrate down, and stick to the convex part 130c of the suspension plate 130 of the piezoelectric actuator 13, so that the area other than the convex part 130c of the suspension plate 130 and the confluence cavity between the fixed parts 12b on both sides of the resonance plate 12 The space between the chambers will not be reduced, and the volume of the first chamber 121 is compressed by the deformation of the resonant sheet 12, and the intermediate circulation space of the first chamber 121 is closed, so that the gas in it is pushed to flow to both sides. , and then flow downward through the gap 135 between the brackets 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 . As for FIG. 5D, the movable part 12a of the resonant plate 12 is deformed by bending vibration, and then returns to the initial position, and the subsequent piezoelectric actuator 13 is driven by a voltage to vibrate upward, and thus the first chamber 121 is also squeezed. At this time, since the piezoelectric actuator 13 is lifted upward, the displacement of the lift can be d, so that the gas in the first chamber 121 will flow to both sides, thereby driving the gas to continuously flow from the air inlet plate At least one air inlet 110 on the 11 enters, and then flows into the cavity formed by the central concave portion 111. As shown in FIG. 5E, the resonance plate 12 is resonated upward by the upward vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13, resonating upward. The movable portion 12a of the plate 12 also moves to the upward position, so that the gas in the central concave portion 111 flows into the first chamber 121 through the central hole 120 of the resonance plate 12, and passes through the bracket 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. The gap 135 between them flows downward through the microfluidic control device 1A. It can be seen from this embodiment that when the resonance plate 12 performs vertical reciprocating vibration, the gap g0 between the resonance plate 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 can be used to increase the maximum distance of its vertical displacement. In other words, between the two Setting a gap g0 between the structures can make the resonant plate 12 generate a larger up and down displacement during resonance, and the vibration displacement of the piezoelectric actuator is d, and the difference between the gap g0 and the gap is x, that is, x= g0-d, when x≦0um is tested, it is in the state of noise; when x=1 to 5um, the maximum output air pressure of micro-pneumatic power device 1 can reach 350mmHg; when x=5 to 10um, the maximum output air pressure of micro-pneumatic power device 1 It can reach 250mmHg; when x=10 to 15um, the maximum output air pressure of the micro-pneumatic power device 1 can reach 150mmHg, and the corresponding relationship of the values is shown in the following table 1. The above values are for operating voltages between ±10V and ±20V. In this way, a pressure gradient is generated in the flow channel design of the microfluidic control device 1A, so that the gas flows at a high speed, and through the impedance difference between the inlet and outlet directions of the flow channel, the gas is transmitted from the suction end to the discharge end, and at the discharge end there are Under the state of air pressure, it still has the ability to continuously push out the gas, and can achieve the effect of mute.

In this embodiment, the outlet 19 can be connected to a device (not shown), such as a press, but not limited thereto.
阀门片17上具有一阀孔170以及多个定位孔洞171,该阀门片17的厚度介于0.1mm至0.3mm之间,而其较佳值为0.2mm。The valve plate 17 has a valve hole 170 and a plurality of positioning holes 171. The thickness of the valve plate 17 is between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm, and the preferred value is 0.2 mm.
当阀门片17在集气板16及出口板18之间定位组装时,该出口板18的卸压通孔181对应于该集气板16的该第一贯穿孔163,该第二卸压腔室183对应于该集气板16的第一卸压腔室165,该第二出口腔室184对应于该集气板16的第一出口腔室166,而该阀门片17设置于该集气板16及该出口板18之间,阻隔第一卸压腔室165与第二卸压腔室183连通,且该阀门片17的阀孔170设置于该第二贯穿孔164及该出口通孔182之间,且阀孔170位于集气板16的第一出口腔室166的凸部结构167而对应设置,借由此单一的阀孔170的设计,以使气体可因应其压差而达到单向流动的目的。When the valve sheet 17 is positioned 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, and the second pressure relief cavity The chamber 183 corresponds to the first pressure relief chamber 165 of the gas collecting plate 16 , the second outlet chamber 184 corresponds to the first outlet chamber 166 of the gas collecting plate 16 , and the valve plate 17 is disposed on the gas collecting plate 16 . Between the 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 plate 17 is disposed in the second through hole 164 and the outlet through hole 182, and the valve hole 170 is located in the convex structure 167 of the first outlet chamber 166 of the gas collecting plate 16 and is correspondingly arranged. With the design of the single valve hole 170, the gas can reach the The purpose of one-way flow.
又该出口板18的卸压通孔181一端可进一部增设一凸出而形成的凸部结构181a,例如可为但不限为圆柱结构,该凸部结构181a的高度是介于0.1mm至0.55mm之间,且其较佳值为0.2mm,而此凸部结构181a透过改良以增加其高度,该凸部结构181a的高度是高于该出口板18的基准表面180,以加强使阀门片17快速地抵触且封闭卸压通孔181,并达到一预力抵触作用完全密封的效果;以及,出口板18更具有至少一限位结构188,该限位结构188的高度为0.2mm,以本实施例为例,限位结构188是设置于第二卸压腔室183内,且为一环形块体结构,且不以此为限,其主要为当微型阀门装置1B进行集压作业时,供以辅助支撑阀门片17之用,以防止阀门片17塌陷,并可使阀门片17可更迅速地开启或封闭。In addition, one end of the pressure relief through hole 181 of the outlet plate 18 can be inserted with a protruding part structure 181a formed by adding a protruding part, such as but not limited to a cylindrical structure, and the height of the protruding part structure 181a is between 0.1mm The height of the convex structure 181a is increased by improvement, and the height of the convex structure 181a is higher than the reference surface 180 of the outlet plate 18 to strengthen the height of the convex structure 181a. The valve plate 17 quickly interferes and closes the pressure relief through hole 181, and achieves the effect of a pre-force interference and complete sealing; and the outlet plate 18 further has at least one limit structure 188, and the height of the limit structure 188 is 0.2 mm, taking this 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 to this, which is mainly used when the micro-valve device 1B collects During the pressing operation, the valve plate 17 is used to assist in supporting the valve plate 17 to prevent the valve plate 17 from collapsing, and the valve plate 17 can be opened or closed more quickly.
当微型阀门装置1B集压作动时,主要如图6A所示,其是可因应来自于微型流体控制装置1A向下传输的气体所提供的压力,又或是当外界的大气压力大于与出口19连接的装置(未图示)的内部压力时,则气体会自微型流体控制装置1A的集气板16中的集气腔室162分别经第一贯穿孔163以及第二贯穿孔164而向下流入第一卸压腔室165及第一出口腔室166内,此时,向下的气体压力是使可挠性的阀门片17向下弯曲形变进而使第一卸压腔室165的体积增大,且对应于第一贯穿孔163处向下平贴并抵顶于卸压通孔181的端部,进而可封闭出口板18的卸压通孔181,故于第二卸压腔室183内的气体不会自卸压通孔181处流出。当然,本实施例,可利用卸压通孔181端部增设一凸部结构181a的设计,以加强使阀门片17快速地抵触且封闭卸压通孔181,并达到一预力抵触作用完全密封的效果,同时并透过环设于卸压通孔181周边的限位结构188,以辅助支撑阀门片17,使其不会产生塌陷。另一方面,由于气体是自第二贯穿孔164而向下流入第一出口腔室166中,且对应于第一出口腔室166处的阀门片17亦向下弯曲形变,故使得其对应的阀孔170向下打开,气体则可自第一出口腔室166经由阀孔170而流入第二出口腔室184中,并由出口通孔182而流至出口19及与出口19相连接的装置(未图示)中,借此以对该装置进行集压的作动。When the micro-valve device 1B is pressure-collected, as shown in FIG. 6A , it can be in response to the pressure provided by the downwardly transmitted gas from the micro-fluid control device 1A, or when the external atmospheric pressure is greater than and the outlet When the internal pressure of the device (not shown) connected to 19 is high, the gas will flow 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 gas flows downward into the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166 . At this time, the downward gas pressure causes the flexible valve sheet 17 to bend downward and deform the first pressure relief chamber 165 . The pressure relief hole 181 of the outlet plate 18 can be closed, so the second pressure relief chamber 183 The gas inside will not flow out from the pressure relief through hole 181 . Of course, in this embodiment, a protruding structure 181a can be added at the end of the pressure relief through hole 181 to enhance the rapid contact of the valve plate 17 and seal the pressure relief through hole 181, so as to achieve a pre-force interference effect and complete sealing At the same time, the limiting structure 188 arranged around the pressure relief through hole 181 is used to assist in supporting the valve plate 17 so as not to collapse. On the other hand, since the gas flows downward into the first outlet chamber 166 from the second through hole 164, and the valve plate 17 corresponding to the first outlet chamber 166 is also bent downward, so that the corresponding The valve hole 170 is opened downward, and the gas can flow from the first outlet chamber 166 to the second outlet chamber 184 through the valve hole 170, and flow to the outlet 19 and the device connected to the outlet 19 through the outlet through hole 182 (not shown), the device is used to collect pressure.
请续参阅图6B,当微型阀门装置1B进行卸压时,其是可借由调控微型流体控制装置1A的气体传输量,使气体不再输入集气腔室162中,或是当与出口19连接的装置(未图示)内部压力大于外界的大气压力时,则可使微型阀门装置1B进行卸压。此时,气体将自与出口19连接的出口通孔182输入至第二出口腔室184内,使得第二出口腔室184的体积膨胀,进而促使可挠性的阀门片17向上弯曲形变,并向上平贴、抵顶于集气板16上,故阀门片17的阀孔170会因抵顶于集气板16而关闭。当然,在本实施例,可利用第一出口腔室166增设一凸部结构167的设计,故可供可挠性的阀门片17向上弯曲形变更快速抵触,使阀孔170更有利达到一预力抵触作用完全贴附密封的关闭状态,因此,当处于初始状态时,阀门片17的阀孔170会因紧贴抵顶于该凸部结构167而关闭,则该第二出口腔室184内的气体将不会逆流至第一出口腔室166中,以达到更好的防止气体外漏的效果。以及,第二出口腔室184中的气体是可经由连通流道185而流至第二卸压腔室183中,进而使第二卸压腔室183的体积扩张,并使对应于第二卸压腔室183的阀门片17同样向上弯曲形变,此时由于阀门片17未抵顶封闭于卸压通孔181端部,故该卸压通孔181即处于开启状态,即第二卸压腔室183内的气体可由卸压通孔181向外流进行卸压作业。当然,本实施例,可利用卸压通孔181端部增设的凸部结构181a或是透过设置于第二卸压腔室183内的限位结构188,让可挠性的阀门片17向上弯曲形变更快速,更有利脱离关闭卸压通孔181的状态。如此,则可借由此单向的卸压作业将与出口19连接的装置(未图示)内的气体排出而降压,或是完全排出而完成卸压作业。Please continue to refer to FIG. 6B , when the micro-valve device 1B is depressurized, it can control the gas transmission volume of the micro-fluid control device 1A so that the gas is no longer input into the gas collection chamber 162 , or when the micro-valve device 1B is connected to the outlet 19 . When the internal pressure of the connected device (not shown) is greater than the external atmospheric pressure, the microvalve device 1B can be relieved of pressure. At this time, the gas will be input 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 expands, thereby causing the flexible valve plate 17 to bend upward and deform, and The valve hole 170 of the valve sheet 17 will be closed due to being pressed against the gas collecting plate 16 because it is flat upward and pressed against the gas collecting plate 16 . Of course, in the present embodiment, a convex structure 167 can be added to the first outlet chamber 166, so that the flexible valve piece 17 can be bent upwards to change rapidly and resist, so that the valve hole 170 is more favorable to reach a predetermined height. Therefore, when in the initial state, the valve hole 170 of the valve plate 17 will be closed due to being pressed against the convex structure 167, and the second outlet chamber 184 will be closed. The gas will not flow back into the first outlet chamber 166, so as to achieve a better effect of preventing gas leakage. In addition, the gas in the second outlet chamber 184 can flow into the second pressure relief chamber 183 through the communication channel 185 , thereby expanding the volume of the second pressure relief chamber 183 and making the volume corresponding to the second pressure relief chamber 183 expanded. The valve sheet 17 of the pressure chamber 183 is also bent upward and deformed. At this time, since the valve sheet 17 is not abutted against 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 out through the pressure relief through hole 181 to perform pressure relief operation. Of course, in this embodiment, the protruding portion structure 181 a added at the end of the pressure relief through hole 181 or the limiting structure 188 disposed in the second pressure relief chamber 183 can be used to allow the flexible valve plate 17 to move upward. The bending shape changes quickly, which is more favorable for getting out of 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 and depressurized by this one-way pressure relief operation, or completely discharged to complete the pressure relief operation.

As shown in FIG. 7A , the micro-pneumatic power device 1 is composed of a micro-fluid control device 1A and a micro-valve device 1B, wherein the micro-fluid control device 1A is, as described above, composed of an air inlet plate 11 , a resonance plate 12 , The piezoelectric actuator 13 , the insulating sheet 141 , the conductive sheet 15 , another insulating sheet 142 and the gas collecting plate 16 are stacked, assembled and positioned, and there is a space between the resonance sheet 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13 . There is a gap g0, and there is a first chamber 121 between the resonance plate 12 and the piezoelectric actuator 13, and the micro-valve device 1B is also assembled and positioned in the micro-fluid by the valve plate 17 and the outlet plate 18 in sequence. It is formed on the gas collecting plate 16 of the control device 1A, and between the gas collecting plate 16 of the microfluidic control device 1A and the piezoelectric actuator 13 is a gas collecting chamber 162 and a reference surface 161 of the gas collecting plate 16 A first pressure relief chamber 165 and a first outlet chamber 166 are further recessed, and a second pressure relief chamber 183 and a second outlet chamber 184 are further recessed on the reference surface 180 of the outlet plate 18, in this embodiment , through the operating voltage of the micro pneumatic power device being ±10V to ±16V, and through the driving of the piezoelectric actuator 13 and the vibration of the resonance plate 12 and the valve plate 17 through these multiple different pressure chambers, to The gas is transported down the pressure set.
如图7B所示,当微型流体控制装置1A的压电致动器13受电压致动而向下振动时,则气体会由进气板11上的进气孔110进入微型流体控制装置1A中,并经由至少一汇流排孔112以汇集到其中心凹部111处,再经由共振片12上的中空孔洞120向下流入至第一腔室121中。其后,则如图7C所示,由于受压电致动器13振动的共振作用,共振片12亦会随的进行往复式振动,即其向下振动,并接近于压电致动器13的悬浮板130的凸部130c上,借由此共振片12的形变,使得进气板11的中心凹部111处的腔室的体积增大,并同时压缩第一腔室121的体积,进而促使第一腔室121内的气体推挤向两侧流动,进而经过压电致动器13的支架132之间的空隙135而向下穿越流通,以流至微型流体控制装置1A与微型阀门装置1B之间的集气腔室162内,并再由与集气腔室162相连通的第一贯穿孔163及第二贯穿孔164向下对应流至第一卸压腔室165及第一出口腔室166中,由此实施态样可见,当共振片12进行垂直的往复式振动时,是可由其与压电致动器13之间的间隙g0以增加其垂直位移的最大距离,换句话说,于该两结构之间设置间隙g0可使共振片12于共振时可产生更大幅度的上下位移。As shown in FIG. 7B , when the piezoelectric actuator 13 of the microfluidic control device 1A is actuated by a voltage to vibrate downward, the gas will enter the microfluidic control device 1A through the air intake holes 110 on the air intake plate 11 , and is collected to the central concave portion 111 through at least one bus bar hole 112 , and then flows downward into the first chamber 121 through the hollow hole 120 on the resonance plate 12 . After that, as shown in FIG. 7C , due to the resonance effect of the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 13 , the resonance plate 12 will also vibrate in a reciprocating manner, that is, it vibrates downward and is close to the piezoelectric actuator 13 . On the convex portion 130c of the suspension plate 130, the volume of the cavity at the central concave portion 111 of the air intake plate 11 is increased by the deformation of the resonance plate 12, and the volume of the first cavity 121 is compressed at the same time, thereby promoting The gas in the first chamber 121 is pushed to flow to both sides, and then flows downward through the gap 135 between the brackets 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 to flow to the micro-fluid control device 1A and the micro-valve device 1B The first through-hole 163 and the second through-hole 164 communicating with the air-collecting chamber 162 flow downward to the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet correspondingly. In the chamber 166, it can be seen from this embodiment that when the resonant plate 12 performs vertical reciprocating vibration, the gap g0 between it and the piezoelectric actuator 13 can be used to increase the maximum distance of its vertical displacement, in other words , setting a gap g0 between the two structures can make the resonance plate 12 generate a larger up-and-down displacement during resonance.
接着,则如图7D所示,由于微型流体控制装置1A的共振片12回复至初始位置,而压电致动器13受电压驱动以向上振动,而其中该压电致动器的振动位移为d,与该间隙g0的差值为x,即x=g0-d,经测试当x=1至5um、该操作电压为±10V至±16V时,其最大输出气压可达到至少300mmHg,但不以此为限。如此同样挤压第一腔室121的体积,使得第一腔室121内的气体朝两侧流动,并由压电致动器13的支架132之间的空隙135持续地输入至集气腔室162、第一卸压腔室165以及第一出口腔室166中,如此更使得第一卸压腔室165及第一出口腔室166内的气压越大,进而推动可挠性的阀门片17向下产生弯曲形变,则于第二卸压腔室183中,阀门片17则向下平贴并抵顶于卸压通孔181端部的凸部结构181a,进而使卸压通孔181封闭,而于第二出口腔室184中,阀门片17上对应于出口通孔182的阀孔170是向下打开,使第二出口腔室184内的气体可由出口通孔182向下传递至出口19及与出口19连接的任何装置(未图示),进而以达到集压作业的目的。最后,则如图7E所示,当微型流体控制装置1A的共振片12共振向上位移,进而使进气板11第一表面11b的中心凹部111内的气体可由共振片12的中空孔洞120而流入第一腔室121内,再经由压电致动器13的支架132之间的空隙135而向下持续地传输至集气板16中,则由于其气体压是持续向下增加,故气体仍会持续地经由集气腔室162、第二贯穿孔164、第一出口腔室166、第二出口腔室184及出口通孔182而流至出口19及与出口19连接的任何装置中,此集压作业是可经由外界的大气压力与装置内的压力差以驱动的,但不以此为限。Next, as shown in FIG. 7D , since the resonance plate 12 of the microfluidic control device 1A returns to the initial position, the piezoelectric actuator 13 is driven by a voltage to vibrate upward, and the vibration displacement of the piezoelectric actuator is d. The difference from the gap g0 is x, that is, x=g0-d. After testing, when x=1 to 5um and the operating voltage is ±10V to ±16V, the maximum output air pressure can reach at least 300mmHg, but not This is the limit. In this way, the volume of the first chamber 121 is also squeezed, so that the gas in the first chamber 121 flows toward both sides, and is continuously input to the gas collecting chamber through the gap 135 between the brackets 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 162. In the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166, the air pressure in the first pressure relief chamber 165 and the first outlet chamber 166 is increased, thereby pushing the flexible valve plate 17 When the downward bending deformation occurs, in the second pressure relief chamber 183, the valve plate 17 is flatly pressed downward and abuts against the convex 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 on the valve plate 17 corresponding to the outlet through hole 182 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 with the outlet 19, so as to achieve the purpose of pressure collecting operation. Finally, as shown in FIG. 7E , when the resonance sheet 12 of the microfluidic control device 1A resonates and displaces upward, the gas in the central concave portion 111 of the first surface 11 b of the intake plate 11 can flow into the hollow hole 120 of the resonance sheet 12 In the first chamber 121, the gas is continuously transported downward to the gas collecting plate 16 through the gap 135 between the brackets 132 of the piezoelectric actuator 13. Since the gas pressure thereof continues to increase downward, the gas still remains. will continue 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 devices connected to the outlet 19, which The pressure collecting operation can be driven by the difference between the external atmospheric pressure and the pressure inside the device, but it is not limited to this.
当与出口19连接的装置(未图示)内部的压力大于外界的压力时,则微型气压动力装置1是可如图8所示进行降压或是卸压的作业,其降压或是卸压的作动方式主要是如前所述,可借由调控微型流体控制装置1A的气体传输量,使气体不再输入集气腔室162中,此时,气体将自与出口19连接的出口通孔182输入至第二出口腔室184内,使得第二出口腔室184的体积膨胀,进而促使可挠性的阀门片17向上弯曲形变,并向上平贴、抵顶于第一出口腔室166的凸部结构167上,而使阀门片17的阀孔170关闭,即第二出口腔室184内的气体不会逆流至第一出口腔室166中;以及,第二出口腔室184中的气体是可经由连通流道185而流至第二卸压腔室183中,再由卸压通孔181以进行卸压作业;如此可借由此微型阀门结构1B的单向气体传输作业将与出口19连接的装置内的气体排出而降压,或是完全排出而完成卸压作业。When the internal pressure of the device (not shown) connected to the outlet 19 is greater than the external pressure, the micro-pneumatic power device 1 can be depressurized or depressurized as shown in FIG. 8 . The actuation mode of the pressure is mainly as described above, and the gas transmission volume of the microfluidic control device 1A can be adjusted so that the gas is no longer input into the gas collection chamber 162 , at this time, the gas will flow from 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 expands, thereby causing the flexible valve sheet 17 to bend upwardly and deform upwardly, and stick to the first outlet chamber. 166 on the convex structure 167, so that the valve hole 170 of the valve plate 17 is closed, that is, the gas in the second outlet chamber 184 will not flow back into the first outlet chamber 166; and, in the second outlet chamber 184 The gas can flow into the second pressure relief chamber 183 through the communication channel 185, and then through the pressure relief through hole 181 to perform the pressure relief operation; in this way, the one-way gas transmission operation of the micro valve structure 1B can be used to The gas in the device connected to the outlet 19 is discharged to reduce pressure, or completely discharged to complete the pressure relief operation.
本案采用的悬浮板130是为正方形型态,当悬浮板130的边长缩小,而悬浮板130的面积随的也逐渐缩小时,会发现缩小尺寸一方面使得悬浮板130的刚性得以提升,并且因内部的气体流道容积减小,有利于空气的推动或压缩,以致能提升输出气压值;并且另一方面亦可减少悬浮板130于垂直振动时所产生的水平方向的变形,进而使压电致动器13运作时能够维持在同一垂直方向上而不易倾斜,借此能够减少压电致动器13与共振片12或其他组装元件之间的碰撞干涉,以致能降低噪音的产生,进而使得品质的不良率降低。综上,当压电致动器13的悬浮板130的尺寸缩小时,压电致动器13亦可做得更小,借此除可提升输出气压的性能外,亦能减少噪音,且能够降低产品的不良率;而反之,发现大尺寸的悬浮板130的输出气压值较低且不良率较高。The hoverboard 130 used in this case is a square shape. When the side length of the hoverboard 130 is reduced and the area of the hoverboard 130 is gradually reduced, it is found that the reduced size improves the rigidity of the hoverboard 130 on the one hand, and Because the volume of the internal gas flow channel is reduced, it is beneficial to the pushing or compression of the air, so that the output air pressure value can be increased; and on the other hand, the horizontal deformation caused by the vertical vibration of the suspension plate 130 can also be reduced, so that the pressure can be reduced. When the electric actuator 13 operates, it can be maintained in the same vertical direction and is not easy to tilt, thereby reducing the collision and interference between the piezoelectric actuator 13 and the resonance plate 12 or other assembly components, so as to reduce the generation of noise, thereby reducing the generation of noise. This reduces the rate of defective quality. To sum up, when the size of the suspension plate 130 of the piezoelectric actuator 13 is reduced, the piezoelectric actuator 13 can also be made smaller, thereby not only improving the performance of the output air pressure, but also reducing noise, and enabling The defect rate of the product is reduced; on the contrary, it is found that the output air pressure value of the large-sized suspension board 130 is lower and the defect rate is higher.
再者,悬浮板130及压电陶瓷板133是该微型气压动力装置1的核心,随着两者面积的缩减,得以将该微型气压动力装置1的面积同步的缩小、减轻其重量,令该微型气压动力装置1可以轻易地装设于可携式装置上,而不会因为体积过大而受限。当然,本案微型气压动力装置1为达到薄型化的趋势,将微型流体控制装置1A组装微型阀门装置1B的总厚度介于1.5mm至4mm的高度,进而使微型气体动力装置1达成轻便舒适的可携式目的,并可广泛地应用于医疗器材及相关设备之中。Furthermore, the suspension board 130 and the piezoelectric ceramic plate 133 are the cores of the micro pneumatic power device 1. With the reduction of the area of the two, the area of the micro pneumatic power device 1 can be simultaneously reduced and its weight can be reduced, so that the The micro-pneumatic power device 1 can be easily installed on a portable device without being limited due to its bulky size. Of course, in order to achieve the trend of thinning the micro-pneumatic power device 1 in this case, the total thickness of the micro-fluid control device 1A assembled with the micro-valve device 1B is between 1.5mm and 4mm in height, so that the micro-pneumatic power device 1 can be light and comfortable. Portable purpose, and can be widely used in medical equipment and related equipment.

The action of the device causes the gas to generate a pressure gradient in the designed flow channel and pressure chamber, so that the gas flows at a 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 Unidirectional flow, which can accumulate pressure in any device connected to the outlet; and when the pressure is reduced or relieved, the transfer volume of the microfluidic control device is regulated, and the gas can be transferred from the device connected to the outlet. to the second outlet chamber of the micro-valve device, and is transmitted to the second pressure relief chamber by the communication channel, and then flows out from the pressure relief through hole, so that the gas can be quickly transmitted, and at the same time, it can be silent The effect of the micro gas power device can further reduce the overall volume and thinning of the micro gas power device, so that the micro gas power device can achieve the purpose of being portable and comfortable, and can be widely used in medical equipment and related equipment.
