Background technique
Existing micropump comprises piezoelectric ceramic pump.Consult Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the structural drawing of existing piezoelectric ceramic pump.Existing piezoelectric ceramic pump 10 comprises piezoelectric ceramic 11 (being called for short piezoelectric constant sometimes), variable space cavity 12, input channel 13, input one-way valve 14, output one-way valve 15, reaches output channel 16.
Piezoelectric ceramic 11 can be the multilayer disc, and the base material of piezoelectric ceramic 11 can be materials such as copper or stainless steel, is covered with one deck piezoceramic material on the base material, also is covered with layer of conductive material above the piezoceramic material, and described conductive material can be a silver.The conductive material that described base material and described piezoceramic material cover above connects the two poles of the earth of ac power supply respectively.After the energising, because the characteristic that piezoceramic material stretches in electric field, therefore, described piezoelectric ceramic 11 will hocket with Ac and raise up and recessed downwards action.
Referring to Fig. 2, first kind of working state figure of existing piezoelectric ceramic pump.First kind of working state of existing piezoelectric ceramic pump is the state that piezoelectric ceramic 11 raises up.
When existing piezoelectric ceramic pump was in first kind of working state, the space of the variable space cavity 12 that is made of piezoelectric ceramic 11 and piezoelectric ceramic pump 10 housings became big, and the pressure in the variable space cavity 12 are diminished.When the pressure of input channel 13 pressure greater than variable space cavity 12, input one-way valve 14 is opened, and makes liquid from input channel 13, enters variable space cavity 12 through input one-way valve 14.When the pressure of variable space cavity 12 during, close output one-way valve 15 simultaneously, make liquid that can not blow back into variable space cavity 12 from output channel 16 less than the pressure of output channel 16.
Referring to Fig. 3, second kind of working state figure of existing piezoelectric ceramic pump.Second kind of work of existing piezoelectric ceramic pump is the recessed downwards state of piezoelectric ceramic 11.
When existing piezoelectric ceramic pump was in second kind of working state, when piezoelectric ceramic 11 was recessed downwards, the space of variable space cavity 12 diminished, and made the pressure in the variable space cavity 12 become big.When the pressure of variable space cavity 12 during greater than the pressure of output channel 16, output one-way valve 15 is opened, and liquid is from variable space cavity 12, through output one-way valve 15, arrive output channel 16.When the pressure of variable space cavity 12 during, close input one-way valve 14 liquid that can not is flow backwards greater than the pressure of input channel 13.
For flowing of liquid, input one-way valve 14 and output one-way valve 15 are equidirectional arranged in series.Because input one-way valve 14 and output one-way valve 15 are the semi-floating one-way valve, when the pressure difference on input channel 13 and output channel 16 both sides is little, be difficult to guarantee that input one-way valve 14 or output one-way valve 15 well seal.Simultaneously, in order to guarantee the tight seal of two one-way valves, general machining accuracy for the valve block and the plane of correspondence all requires very high, is unfavorable for industrial production in enormous quantities.
Therefore, how providing a kind of micropump, guarantee input one-way valve and output one-way valve control reliability, is those skilled in the art's technical issues that need to address.

Embodiment
The invention provides a kind of micropump, be used to realize importing the reliable control of one-way valve and output one-way valve.
In order to make those skilled in the art understand the present invention program better, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
Referring to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, Fig. 4 is first kind of example structure figure of micropump of the present invention; Fig. 5 is an A-A cross-sectional view shown in Figure 4.

The conductive material that described base material and described piezoceramic material cover above connects the two poles of the earth of ac power supply respectively.After the energising, because the characteristic that piezoceramic material stretches in electric field, therefore, described piezoelectric ceramic 1 will hocket with Ac and raise up and recessed downwards action.
The width of described valve film 7 can be slightly larger than the width of described input channel and described output channel, to guarantee the sealing of 7 pairs of input channels of valve film and output channel.
Pump upper body input channel 5a and the pump upper body output channel 6a that is connected with described spatially-variable cavity 2 offered in described pump upper body 3.
In the corresponding position of pump lower body 4, offer the pump lower body input channel 5b and the pump lower body output channel 6b that are connected with described spatially-variable cavity 2 with described pump upper body input channel 5a.
Described valve film 7 is formed the input one-way valve with described pump upper body input channel 5a and pump lower body input channel 5b.Described valve film 7 is formed the output one-way valve with described pump upper body output channel 6a and pump lower body output channel 6b.
Described valve film 7 specifically can adopt elastic material.Described valve film 7 can be assemblied between described pump upper body 3 and the pump lower body 4 by bonding or clamping.Because valve film 7 is bonding or clamps and to be assemblied in 4 of pump upper body 3 and pump lower bodies, therefore can not produce the unfixing instability that may bring in prior art middle valve plate position in valve chamber, the valve film can also have pretightening force to improve the service behaviour of piezoelectric ceramic pump simultaneously.
Valve film 7 can also have pretightening force, and it is more stable that venting valve film 7 positions make the work of the described miniature piezo-ceramic pump of the embodiment of the invention better.Owing to adopt the diaphragm valve of band pretightening force, with relaxing the making precision of pump greatly, for industrial production creates conditions.
