- the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 are discs.
- the side plate 23 is a cylinder.
- the side plate 23 is disposed between the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 and connects the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 so as to face each other. More specifically, the centers of the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 coincide in plan view.
- the side plate 23 connects the peripheral edges of the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 arranged in this way over the entire circumference.
- the side plate 23 may be integrally formed with the first main plate 21 or the second main plate 22. In other words, the first main plate 21 or the second main plate 22 may have a recessed shape.
- the valve 20 has a valve chamber 200 that is a cylindrical space surrounded by the first main plate 21, the second main plate 22, and the side plates 23.
- the valve membrane 24 is disposed in the valve chamber 200.
- a plurality of first openings 201 are formed in the first main plate 21 so as to penetrate the first main plate 21.
- the valve membrane 24 is formed with a plurality of second openings 202 penetrating the valve membrane 24 so as to overlap each of the plurality of first openings 201 in plan view.
- a plurality of third openings 203 are formed in the second main plate 22 so as to penetrate the second main plate 22.
- the plurality of third openings 203 are formed at positions that do not overlap the first openings 201 and the second openings 202 in plan view. Through the plurality of third openings 203, the valve chamber 200 of the valve 20 and the pump chamber 300 of the pump 30 communicate with each other.
- the pump 30 is formed with the second main plate 22 as one component.
- the pump 30 is formed by the second main plate 22, the pump side plate 31, the pump bottom plate 32, and the vibrating portion 33.
- the vibration part 33 is formed by a vibration plate 331 and a piezoelectric element 332.
- the pump bottom plate 32 and the diaphragm 331 are integrally formed. More specifically, when the pump 30 is viewed in plan from the second main plate 22 side, the pump bottom plate 32 and the diaphragm 331 are connected via the connecting portion 35 so as to be flush with each other. In other words, along the periphery of the pump bottom plate 32, the pump bottom plate 32 and the diaphragm 331 are formed so as to have a plurality of pump bottom openings 34 that are not connected to each other with a predetermined opening diameter. With this configuration, the diaphragm 331 is held by the piezoelectric element 332 so as to vibrate.
- the pump side plate 31 has an annular shape in plan view from the first main plate 21 side.
- the pump side plate 31 is disposed between the second main plate 22 and the pump bottom plate 32, and connects the second main plate 22 and the pump bottom plate 32. More specifically, the centers of the second main plate 22 and the pump bottom plate 32 coincide in plan view.

- the piezoelectric element 332 is disposed on the opposite side of the diaphragm 331 from the pump chamber 300 side, that is, on the outside of the pump 30. At this time, the center of the piezoelectric element 332 and the center of the diaphragm 331 substantially coincide with each other in plan view.
- the piezoelectric element 332 is connected to a control unit (not shown).
- the control unit generates a drive signal for the piezoelectric element 332 and applies it to the piezoelectric element 332.
- the piezoelectric element 332 is displaced by a drive signal, and stress due to this displacement acts on the diaphragm 331. Thereby, the diaphragm 331 is flexibly vibrated. For example, the vibration of the diaphragm 331 generates a waveform of the first type Bessel function.
- the volume and pressure of the pump chamber 300 change as the vibration plate 331 (vibration unit 33) bends and vibrates.
- the fluid sucked from the pump bottom opening 34 is discharged from the third opening 203.
- valve membrane 24 moves to the first main plate 21 side by the fluid flowing in from the third opening 203. As a result, the fluid is discharged to the outside through the second opening 202 and the first opening 201. On the other hand, when fluid tries to flow from the third opening 203 to the pump bottom opening 34, the valve membrane 24 moves to the second main plate 22 side and closes the third opening 203. Therefore, it functions as the fluid control device 10 having a rectifying function.

- the frequency coefficient of the first main plate 21 is smaller than the frequency coefficient of the second main plate 22. That is, the first main plate 21 is more flexible than the second main plate 22.
- phase difference 90 ° ⁇ ⁇ 270 ° is generated between the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22. That is, the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 vibrate in substantially opposite phases.
- the phase difference is preferably 180 ° in vacuum.

- the second main plate thickness t2 is 0.45 mm.
- the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 vibrate in opposite phases, and the displacement of the first main plate 21 with respect to the thickness direction and the displacement of the second main plate 22 with respect to the thickness direction are in opposite directions and are the largest. Therefore, the interval displacement of the valve chamber 200 is the largest.
- the first main plate thickness t1 is 0.3 mm
- the second main plate thickness t2 is 0.45 mm.
- the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 vibrate in opposite phases, and the displacement with respect to the thickness direction of the first main plate 21 and the thickness direction of the second main plate 22 are inferior to the configuration of FIG.

- the first main plate thickness t1 is thicker than the second main plate thickness t2
- the displacement between the first main plate thickness t1 and the second main plate thickness t2 becomes small. Therefore, the interval displacement of the valve chamber 200 is small.
- the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 are positioned by setting the first main plate thickness t1 to 0.4 mm and the second main plate thickness t2 to 0.45 mm in the configuration of FIG.
- the phase difference approaches 180 °, and the largest displacement can be obtained. That is, opening and closing of the valve is promoted, and a more efficient fluid control device 10 can be realized.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing a simulation result of the displacement rate with respect to the frequency coefficient ratio in the fluid control device 10.
- the second main plate thickness t2 is 0.45 mm, and the thickness of the diaphragm 331 is 0.4 mm.
- the first main plate thickness t1 is changed between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.
- the horizontal axis is the frequency coefficient ratio.
- the frequency coefficient ratio is expressed by (frequency coefficient of first main plate 21) / (frequency coefficient of second main plate 22).
- the vertical axis is the displacement ratio.
- the displacement ratio is expressed by (displacement of the center position of the first main plate 21) / (displacement of the center position of the second main plate 22).
- the shape of the fluid control device 10 has been described as a substantially disk-shaped configuration.
- the shape of the fluid control device 10 is not limited to a disk shape, and may be a shape close to a polygon.
- first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 are described as being made of the same material and made of stainless steel or the like. However, the first main plate 21 and the second main plate 22 are not limited to the same material. The flexibility of the first main plate 21 can be obtained, and the same effect can be obtained by using a material whose frequency coefficient is smaller than that of the second main plate 22.
- the fluid control device described above is used for medical devices such as a blood pressure monitor, a massage device, a suction device, a nebulizer, and a negative pressure closure therapy device. Thereby, the drive efficiency of a medical device can be improved.
- the first main plate and the second main plate have been described using main plates having a constant thickness.
- the average values of the main plate thicknesses are compared, and (average thickness t1a of the first main plate 21) ⁇ (average of the second main plate 22) You may comprise so that it may become thickness t2a).
