“…Considering the advantages of small size, lightweight, fast response, low power consumption, and stable driving ability [1][2][3][4], piezoelectric pumps have played an important role in the fields of avionics [3,5,6], micro-robotics [7][8][9], atomization devices [10][11][12], and bioengineering [13][14][15]. Based on whether valve structures are used inside the pump body, piezoelectric pumps can be divided into valved pumps and valveless pumps, which have been studied to various degrees in the past few decades.…”

To ameliorate the deficient output flow performance of the piezoelectric pumps with cantilever valves, a dual-inlet pump with a simple valves system is proposed. On the basis of explaining the structure design of the prototype, the working principle of the prototype is explained, and the output flow is theoretically analyzed. Then, the manufacturing process of the prototype is introduced. The general operating frequency of the pump was obtained by combining the finite element analysis of the piezoelectric actuator under dry and wet modes with the mechanical vibration test, and a series of measured flow rates were compared and improved through valve stiffness optimization and pump chamber height adjustment in the subsequent control experiment. The proposed piezoelectric pump achieves a maximum flow rate of 33.18 mL/min at a 180 Vp-p voltage with the driving frequency of 100 Hz, which may bring new inspiration for the application of small intelligent pumps in the field of microfluidics.

In this article, a piezoelectric pump with vortex shaped linear valve structure (PPVSLVS) is proposed on the basis of characteristics of flexible materials. Changes in the working state conversion between “valve-based” and “valve-less” of the PPVSLVS can be realized by adjusting driving conditions. The principle of the working state conversion between “valve-based” and “valve-less” of the PPVSLVS is elaborated for the design of the structure of the PPVSLVS. The prototype of the PPVSLVS and the piezoelectric pump with cardiac valve-like structure is fabricated by 3D printing technique, and the corresponding experiments are also conducted. The experimental results demonstrate that the PPVSLVS is ascribed to be a valve-less piezoelectric pump when the driving voltage is less than 140 V, while the PPVSLVS is ascribed to be a valve-based piezoelectric pump when the driving voltage is above 140 V. When the working state of the PPVSLVS is converted from “valve-less” to “valve-based,” the pump flow rate of this pump will be changed from one peak to double peak. Simultaneously, when the driving voltage of the pump is 180 V at 12 Hz, the pump flow rate reaches a maximum value of 44.3 mL/min. Compared with the piezoelectric pump with a cardiac valve-like structure, under the same driving conditions, the pump flow rate of the PPVSLVS is remarkably increased. When the driving frequency is set as 12 and 24 Hz, the average pump flow rate is improved by 107% and 21.3%, respectively. The distance between the free ends of the valve will affect the working states and flow rate of the PPVSLVS. This study contributes to the application of piezoelectric pumps in artificial hearts.

In this study, we have developed a piezoelectric pump with a combined teardrop- and heart-shaped channel based on the Coanda effect and bionics principle. The bluffbody consists of teardrop- and heart-shaped channels. The vibration and the pump flow rate are evaluated theoretically, and the flow conditions under different bluffbody heights and different main channel widths are simulated. The theoretical and simulation results show that the pump has uneven resistance to flow in forward and reverse directions, and the height of the teardrop bluffbody and the width main channel affect the flow in the channel. Test data show that under the same pressure, when the main channel is 5 mm and the bluffbody height is 8 mm, the pump flow rate is 460.8 ml/min. The pump alleviates the serious backflow problem through the fluid blocking structure and is expected to become an active driver of microfluidic devices.
