In this paper, we present a mathematical model of the piezoelectric pump and its application to the automobile brake system. The piezoelectric pump consists of a multi-layered piezoelectric element a diaphragm, pumping values, resonant pipes and accumulators, and the maximum pumping power of 62W nab obtained in the previous experiments by using the piezoelectric element of 22mm diameter and 55.5mm length. A detailed mathematical model of the pump is derived here by considering the compressibility of the working oil, nonlinear characteristics of piezoelectric element, the time delay of pumping values' action and be on. The validity of the model is illustrated by comparing the experimental data and the simulation results. Using the mathematical model of the piezoelectric pump, a brake system for automobile disk brake is also simulated in this paper. The brake system consists of a piezoelectric pump as a power source, calipers and its piston to generate brake force, and a three position solenoid value to change the brake situation. It is shown that 15mm/sec of piston speed and 20kN of piston force are obtained by using the piezoelectric element of 33mm diameter and 55.5mm length.

Piezoelectric micro-pump should contain the physical running parts like check valves for acquiring the unilateral motion of fluid from the alternating motion of actuators. But the check valves raise many problems such as abrasion or exhaustive destruction by the recursive mechanical displacement To solve these problems, we propose a novle type piezoelectric valveless micro-pump using peristaltic motion due to the traveling wave excitation. Proposed pump model is consisted of two piezoelectric ceramic plates, elastic metal body, caps for covering flow path, rubber rings for sealing tightly and disk springs for the pressurization of pump body.

Existence of physical moving parts (ex. check valve) produces several problems (mechanical abrasion, deterioration of reliability, limited temperature performances etc.) in driving pumps. To overcome such problems, we proposed a valveless piezoelectric micro-pump which has new type volume transferring mechanism. The proposed micro-pump has a double faced disk type vibrator that can generate peristaltic motion formed by traveling wave in each surface of a disk. This type of micro-pump is able to apply to a fluid supply system that provides two different kinds of fluid simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a simple and novel design of piezoelectric micro-pump that is peristaltically by piezoelectric actuators and allows the removal of the need for valves of other physically moving parts. The finite elements analysis on the proposed pump model was carried out to verify its operation principle using the commercial analysis software.

The operation principle of a traveling wave rotary type ultrasonic motor can be successfully applied to the fluidic transfer mechanism of the micro-pump. This paper proposes an innovative valveless micro-pump type that uses an extensional vibration mode of a traveling wave as a volume transportation means. The proposed pump consists of coaxial cylindrical shells that join the piezoelectric ceramic ring and metal body, respectively. In order to confirm the actuation mechanism of the proposed pump model, a numerical simulation analysis was implemented. In accordance with the variations in the exciting wave mode and pump body dimension, we analyzed the vibration displacement characteristics of the proposed model, determined the optimal design condition, fabricated the prototype pump from the analysis results and evaluated its performance. The maximum flow rate was approximately $595\;{\mu}L/min$ and the highest back pressure was 0.88 kPa at an input voltage of $130\;V_{rms}$. We confirmed that the peristaltic motion of the piezoelectric actuator was effectively applied to the fluid transfer mechanism of the valveless type micro pump throughout this research.

In this paper, we propose a novel type valveless micro-pump that uses extensional vibration mode of traveling wave as a volume transporting means for solving some problems about check valves, essential parts of usual pumps. The proposed pump consists of two piezoelectric ceramic rings and a metal body located in the middle of them respectively. Because the drift of bended surface that results from the traveling wave excitation controls the fluid flow, check valves are not needed in this pump model. In accordance with the variation of the pump body dimension, we analyzed the vibration displacement characteristics of pump model, determined the optimal design condition, fabricated the prototype pump from the analysis results and evaluated its efficiency.

In precision machinery industry, it's required with small size and low noise design to using in constant liquid delivery equipment. To accomplish it's purpose, we designed the check valve with rubber sheet of circle shapes as a possible assembly in pump body. The test equipment for piezoelectric pump was able to test pressure-flow property and output property of piezoelectric pump by variation(magnitude of voltage and frequency) of input power.

본 연구에서는 압전유압펌프의 챔버부, 체크밸브, 부하, 펌프구동제어기 등 유압펌프 전체 구성품의 해석 모델링을 통하여 브레이크용 소형 압전유압펌프의 가압 동특성을 해석하였다. 가압 동특성을 해석하기 위해 먼저 적층형 압전작동기가 챔버내에서 압력을 형성하는 과정을 모델링하였다. 체크밸브 개도에 따른 유량계수 식을 얻기 위해, 유한요소코드 해석을 통해 체크밸브 압력분포 및 유동결과를 얻은 후 체크밸브 유량계수식을 커브 피팅으로 유도하였다. 또한 부하압력을 피드백 받아 작동기 입력전압을 제어하여 부하압력이 입력명령 압력을 잘 추종하도록 펌프구동제어기를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 브레이크 작동에 필요한 정상작동압력까지 도달하는데 걸리는 시간은 약 0.03ms 정도이다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 해석 시뮬레이션 결과는 실제 실험결과와 비교를 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

Using the extensional vibration mode of PZT ring, a piezopump is successfully made. The PZT ring is polarized with thickness direction. The traveling extensional wave along the circumference of the ring is obtained by dividing two standing waves which are temporally and spatially phase shifted by 90 degrees from each other. The proposed piezopump is consisted of coaxial cylindrical shells that are bonded piezoelectric ceramic ring. The pump takes an unobtrusive operation into the simple displacing mechanism using peristaltic traveling waves without the physical moving parts. The finite elements analysis on the proposed pump model is carried out to verify its operation principle and design by the commercial FEM software. Components of piezopump were made, assembled, and tested to validate the concepts of the proposed pump and confirm the simulation results. The performance of the proposed piezopump is about 580 ${\mu}l/min$ in flow rate with the highest pressure level of 0.85 kPa, when the driving voltage is 150 $V_p$, 57 kHz.
