| Popis: | In order to apply a valve-less piezoelectric pump in navigation equipment, this work first revealed a valve-less piezoelectric pump with arc-shaped tubes and then researched the relationship between the main structural parameters of arc-shaped tubes and the output flow rate. According to the velocity difference between clockwise and counterclockwise directions of liquid in circular arc-shaped tubes, the flow characteristics of liquid in circular arc-shaped tubes are analyzed in this paper, and the velocity difference model and flow equation of a piezoelectric pump are established. By using three-dimensional printing technology, five types of prototypes with different parameters were made, and the experimental research was carried out. The results show that at the optimal frequency, the pump output flow is the largest. The output flow is proportional to the driving voltage, the base circle radius, and the cross section area of the pipe. The low-cost and miniaturized navigation equipment made by using the piezoelectric pump has potential application value in unmanned aerial vehicle and intelligent vehicle navigation. |
