PUMP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240183348 titled 'PUMP
The patent application describes a pump with a vibrating plate, a flow path forming member, a pump chamber, and a film valve. The vibrating plate, equipped with a piezoelectric element, vibrates due to the distortion of the element and has a gap on its outer periphery. The flow path forming member faces the vibrating plate and has a hole in the portion opposite the plate. The pump chamber, enclosed by the vibrating plate and the flow path forming member, consists of a central space connected to the hole and an outer edge space linked to the gap. The film valve, positioned within the pump chamber, contacts the vibrating plate and the flow path forming member when the pressure in the central space is lower than in the outer edge space.
- The pump includes a vibrating plate with a piezoelectric element.
- The vibrating plate vibrates due to the distortion of the piezoelectric element.
- A gap is present on the outer periphery of the vibrating plate.
- The flow path forming member faces the vibrating plate and has a hole in the corresponding area.
- The pump chamber is surrounded by the vibrating plate and the flow path forming member.
- The pump chamber has a central space connected to the hole and an outer edge space linked to the gap.
- The film valve, located in the pump chamber, contacts the vibrating plate and the flow path forming member based on pressure differentials.
Potential Applications: - Medical devices - Industrial machinery - Automotive systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient fluid pumping - Precise control of flow rates
Benefits: - Enhanced performance - Reduced energy consumption - Increased reliability
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Pump Technology for Various Industries This technology can be utilized in medical devices, industrial machinery, and automotive systems to improve fluid pumping efficiency and control flow rates with precision.
Questions about Pump Technology: 1. How does the vibrating plate in the pump contribute to its overall functionality? 2. What are the potential advantages of using a film valve in this pump design?
Original Abstract Submitted
a pump includes a vibrating plate, a flow path forming member, a pump chamber, and a film valve. the vibrating plate is provided with a piezoelectric element, vibrates due to distortion of the piezoelectric element, and has a gap on an outer periphery. the flow path forming member is disposed so as to face the vibrating plate, and has a hole in a portion facing the vibrating plate. the pump chamber is surrounded by the vibrating plate and the flow path forming member, and has a central space communicating with the hole and an outer edge space communicating with the gap. the film valve is disposed in the pump chamber. the film valve is in contact with the vibrating plate and the flow path forming member when a pressure in the central space is lower than a pressure in the outer edge space.
