Fluid control device

The present invention relates to a fluid control device, and more particularly to a fluid control device having a deformable base.

At present, in various fields, such as medicine, computer technology, printing and energy, the products are developing in the direction of refinement and miniaturization. Among them, products such as micro pump, sprayer, inkjet head and industrial printing device are included. The fluid transport structure is its key technology, which is how to break through its technical bottleneck with innovative structure and be an important part of development.

Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B , FIG. 1A is a partial structural diagram of a conventional fluid control device, and FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram showing a partial structural assembly offset of a conventional fluid control device. As shown in the figure, the active core of the conventional fluid control device 100 mainly includes a substrate 101 and a piezoelectric actuator 102. The substrate 101 and the piezoelectric actuator 102 are stacked, and the substrate 101 and the piezoelectric actuator 102 are disposed. There is a gap 103, wherein the gap 103 needs to maintain a certain depth, thereby maintaining a certain depth by the gap 103, and when the piezoelectric actuator 102 is actuated to be deformed by applying a voltage, the fluid can be driven to the fluid control device 100. Each chamber flows to achieve fluid transfer. However, in the fluid control device 100 of the prior art, the piezoelectric actuator 102 and the substrate 101 are both of a flat plate-like structure and have a certain rigidity. Under these conditions, the two The flat structure is accurately aligned with each other, so that a certain gap 103 is generated between the two plates, that is, maintaining a certain depth, there is a certain degree of difficulty, and it is very easy to cause an error, because any one of the above has a certain If the edge of the whole plate is inclined by an angle θ, the relative distance is multiplied by the displacement value of the angle θ at the relative position, for example, a displacement d, which results in the line of the certain gap 103. Increasing d' (as shown in Figure 1B), or vice versa d' (not shown); especially as the fluid control device is oriented toward miniaturization, the size of each component is made to a miniaturized design such that the two It is difficult to maintain a certain gap 103 in the flat plate without increasing or decreasing d', thereby maintaining a certain depth of the gap 103, and if the depth of the gap 103 is not maintained, for example, the gap 103 is increased. The above error of a d' displacement will cause the distance of the gap 103 to be too large, thereby making the fluid transmission efficiency poor; on the contrary, if the gap is in the opposite direction so as to reduce the above d' displacement (not shown), the gap is made. The distance of 103 is too small, and it is easy to interfere with other components when the piezoelectric actuator 102 is actuated, which causes a problem of noise and causes a disadvantage rate of the fluid control device to increase.

In other words, since the piezoelectric actuator 102 and the substrate 101 of the conventional fluid control device 100 are both flat and monolithic structures having a certain rigidity, it is difficult for the flat plates to be aligned in an overall manner to achieve accurate alignment. Especially in the case of smaller component sizes, it is more difficult to accurately align the components during assembly, which in turn makes the fluid delivery performance low and causes noise problems, resulting in inconvenience and discomfort in use.

Therefore, how to develop a technique that can improve the above-mentioned conventional techniques can make the apparatus or equipment using the conventional fluid transmission device small, miniaturized and muted, and overcome the problem of easy error in assembly, thereby achieving light and comfortable portability. The microfluidic transmission device of the purpose is a problem that is urgently needed to be solved.

The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the substrate and the piezoelectric actuator are miniaturized due to the miniaturization of the components in the conventional fluid control device, and it is difficult to accurately position and generate an error during assembly. It is difficult to maintain the required distance of the gap after assembly, which leads to the problem of low fluid delivery efficiency and noise generation, resulting in inconvenience and discomfort in use.

In order to achieve the above object, a generalized embodiment of the present invention provides a fluid control device comprising: a piezoelectric actuator, which is composed of a piezoelectric element attached to a surface of a vibrating plate, the piezoelectric element Deformed by an applied voltage to drive the vibrating plate to bend and vibrate, the vibrating plate having a protrusion and oppositely disposed on the other surface of the surface to which the piezoelectric element is attached; and a deformable base structure Forming a flexible plate and a flow plate stacked on each other, and synchronously deforming into a synchronous deformation structure; wherein the deformable base structure is correspondingly engaged with the vibration plate of the piezoelectric actuator, and The deformable base structure protrudes and deforms toward the vibrating plate such that a specific depth is defined between the flexible plate of the deformable base structure and the protruding portion of the vibrating plate, and the flexible plate has a The movable portion is provided with respect to the protruding portion of the vibrating plate.

The deformed base structure 20 is a type before the synchronous deformation has been generated. The drawings are used to illustrate the flow plate 21 and the flexible plate 22 of the deformable base structure 20 of the present invention and the piezoelectric actuator 23.

When the fluid control device 2 is actuated, the piezoelectric actuator 23 is mainly actuated by an applied voltage to perform reciprocating vibration in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 4B, when the piezoelectric actuator 23 is actuated by the applied voltage to vibrate upward, since the flexible board 22 is a light and thin sheet-like structure, when the piezoelectric actuator 23 vibrates The flexible plate 22 also reciprocates in the vertical direction, that is, the portion of the movable portion 22a of the flexible plate 22 is also bent and vibrated, and the flow path hole 220 is disposed on the flexible plate.

Furthermore, the aforementioned synchronous deformation structure refers to a synchronous deformation region of the flow plate 21 and the flexible plate 22, and when any one of them is deformed, the other must be deformed accordingly, and both are deformed. The shapes are all the same, that is, the corresponding surface surfaces of the two are joined to each other and positioned without any gap or parallel misalignment between the two, for example, the flow plate 21 of the deformable base structure 20 is deformed. At the same time, the flexible plate 22 also produces the same deformation; similarly, when the flexible plate 22 of the deformable base structure 20 is deformed, the flow plate 21 also produces the same deformation. In some embodiments, the flow plate 21 and the flexible plate 22 are positioned to each other through an adhesive, but are not limited thereto. In addition, as shown in the prior art and FIG. 1B, in the conventional fluid control device 100, the piezoelectric actuator 102 and the substrate 103 are both a flat plate-like structure and have a certain rigidity. Under these conditions, it is quite difficult to make the two flat-plate structures accurately aligned with each other and maintain a certain gap between the two plates, which means maintaining a certain depth required. It is very easy to produce errors and cause various problems. Therefore, various preferred embodiments in the present invention are characterized by utilizing a deformable base structure 20, that is, the synchronous deformation of the flow plate 21 and the flexible plate 22 to form a synchronous deformation structure, which is equivalent to the synchronous deformation structure. The substrate 101 of the prior art, but the flow plate 21 and the flexible plate 22 of the synchronously deformed structure have various implementations defined by various embodiments in the present case, and the various specific synchronous deformations The structure can be maintained between a specific gap (i.e., a chamber formed by a specific depth δ) between the vibrating plate 230 of the opposing piezoelectric actuator 23, even when the fluid control device 2 is oriented slightly With the development of the technology, the size of each component is made to a miniaturized design, and the synchronous deformation structure can easily make it easy to maintain a certain gap between the two because the alignment area has been reduced. The non-flat-shaped synchronous deformation structure (whether the deformation is curved, tapered, various curved, irregular, etc.) is aligned with a flat plate, and is no longer the alignment of the two large areas, but A non-flat small area is aligned with a large area of the flat panel, so the gap error between the two can be easily reduced, thereby solving the problem of low efficiency and noise generation of the fluid transport, so that the inconvenience of use is solved. Uncomfortable knowledge.
