Problems solved by technology

[0014] In Patent Document 3, although the deterioration of the piezoelectric element can be detected, it is necessary to provide a circuit for abnormality detection other than the drive circuit during normal operation, and there is a problem that the structure becomes complicated and the cost increases.
In addition, before normal operation, it is necessary to use an abnormality detection circuit to determine whether there is an abnormality in the piezoelectric element, and there is a problem that it is difficult to apply to long-term and continuous use equipment such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment and chemical factories.

Embodiment 1

[0105] The experimental results are shown below, showing the effectiveness of the present invention.

[0106] exist figure 1 In the pressure-type flow control device having the structure shown, the voltage across the first resistor 11 (the voltage between the first terminal 13 and the second terminal 14 ) is measured while a DC voltage of 140 V is supplied to the piezoelectric element 2 . , to calculate its average value. The resistance values ​​of the first resistor 11 and the second resistor 12 are respectively set to 10 kΩ and 39 kΩ. For voltage measurement, a tester (Digital Multimeter 289, manufactured by Fluke Corporation) and a data recorder (Mobile recorder MV200, manufactured by Yokogawa Electric Corporation) were used.

[0107] In each of the three pressure-type flow control devices (ID1 to ID3) of the same type of piezoelectric element used, after opening and closing the control valve 3 million times, use the above two types of measuring devices to measure Measu...

Embodiment 2

[0112] For pressure type flow control devices using different types of piezoelectric elements, in the same manner as in Example 1, the voltage across the first resistor 11 was measured, and the resistance value of the piezoelectric element used in each pressure type flow control device was calculated. . The result is as Figure 7 shown.

[0113] Figure 7 Changes in resistance values ​​calculated from measured values ​​related to the respective piezoelectric elements are schematically shown. exist Figure 7 In , the vertical axis represents the resistance value (calculated value) of the piezoelectric element, and the horizontal axis represents the driving time of the control valve. As the driving time increases, the number of times the control valve is opened and closed (the number of voltage applications to the piezoelectric element) also increases. The solid line is the measurement result of the control valve provided with the moisture adsorbent, and the dotted line is ...

Abstract

To provide a driving device provided with a piezoelectric element deterioration detection circuit and a deterioration detection method which enable detection of deterioration of a piezoelectric element for use in the driving device without stopping a normal operation of the driving device. A driving device 1 is provided with a piezoelectric element 2, a power source 3, a first resistor 11, a second resistor 12, a measurement unit, and a control unit, wherein: the resistance values of the first and second resistors are smaller than the insulating resistance value of the piezoelectric element; the measurement unit measures a voltage across the both ends of the first resistor (voltage between a first terminal 13 and a second terminal 14) in a state where a prescribed voltage is supplied from the power source; and the control unit 3 calculates the resistance value of the piezoelectric element from a voltage value acquired through the measurement carried out by the measurement unit, and determines whether deterioration has occurred in the piezoelectric element on the basis of the calculated resistance value.
