Microvalve having improved actuator |
摘要 |
A microvalve includes a first plate having a surface defining an actuator cavity. A second plate has a surface that abuts the surface of the first plate and includes a displaceable member that is disposed within the actuator cavity for movement between a closed position, wherein the displaceable member prevents fluid communication through the microvalve, and an opened position, wherein the displaceable member does not prevent fluid communication through the microvalve. An actuator is connected to the displaceable member and has only one or two pairs of actuator ribs. |

1. A microvalve comprising:
a first plate including a surface having an actuator cavity provided therein; a second plate having a surface that abuts the surface of the first plate and includes a displaceable member that is disposed within the actuator cavity for movement between a closed position, wherein the displaceable member prevents fluid communication through the microvalve, and an opened position, wherein the displaceable member does not prevent fluid communication through the microvalve; and an actuator connected to the displaceable member, the actuator having only one or two pairs of actuator ribs; wherein each actuator rib includes an aperture formed therethrough. |
