Benefits of technology

[0011]Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an aspect of the present invention to provide an ultrasonic piezoelectric pump in which: a piezoelectric actuator is installed at a center of a fluid pipe; a plurality of fluid-flow holes is formed around the piezoelectric actuator; and a tapered nozzle is tapered forward and downwardly in front of the piezoelectric actuator to force a fluid to be easily discharged and to have difficulty to flow backward so that a fluid can be smoothly pumped by the piezoelectric actuator without a check valve while preventing the fluid from flowing backward.
[0012]It is another aspect of the present invention to provide an ultrasonic piezoelectric pump in which a voltage applied to a piezoelectric device is adjusted to quickly deform the piezoelectric device for the fluid discharge and a frequency is adjusted to have a voltage waveform to force the piezoelectric device to be restored slowly so that a fluid can be smoothly discharged.
[0013]It is still another aspect of the present invention to provide an ultrasonic piezoelectric pump, a piezoelectric device of which is driven by ultrasonic waves to force a fluid to flow while causing flow resonance so that efficiency of heat transfer can be improved.

Problems solved by technology

In general, since parts for small sized electronic products and medical equipment possibly malfunction or are damaged due to heat generated therein because degree of integration of transistors is improved, cooling of the electronic parts is becoming a critical issue in electronic apparatuses using small electronic parts.
As such, since the conventional piezoelectric pump is provided independently from the fluid pipe 300 and the check valves 500 for preventing fluid from flowing backward are provided independently from the pump, the conventional piezoelectric pump is not suitable for minimizing electronic products and medical equipment because it is difficult to make the piezoelectric pump in a small size.
