Abstract
Disclosed herein is a micro fluid transferring system that comprises a micropump having a chamber, a first fluid transferring portion connected to the chamber, and a second fluid transferring portion connected to the chamber. This system is characterized in that at least one of the first and second fluid transferring portions comprises a pressure absorbing section for absorbing or alleviating a liquid vibrational pressure therein.
Claims1
A fluid transferring system comprising a plurality of micropumps arranged in series with each other, each micropump being connected to a neighboring one of the plurality of micropumps through a connecting section, wherein adjacent ones of the plurality of micropumps are driven in driving waveforms different from each other;
- and
- wherein one of the adjacent ones of the plurality of micropumps is driven in a first driving waveform and another of the adjacent ones of the plurality of micropumps is driven in a second driving waveform which is reversed from the first driving waveform.
