Abstract

This paper proposes, designs, manufactures and experimentally studies a wedge valve piezoelectric pump driven by a double displacement amplifier vibrator (DDAV). A novel wedge valve is designed, manufactured and analyzed, and the static performance of the wedge valve is tested. The test results show that it has less forward resistance and high reverse shutoff. The DDAV and pump body are designed, and the test experimental platform is built. Results indicate that the static opening pressure of the wedge valve is 0.27 kPa, and the reverse shutoff pressure can reach 200 kPa. When the driving voltage is 700 Vpp and the driving frequency is 425 Hz, the maximum flow rate is 491.2 ml min−1 and the maximum output pressure is 160 kPa.
