Microsystems for converting pressures and compression

摘要

The invention relates to a microsystem for converting a difference in pressures in a fluid into mechanical movement, this microsystem comprising: —an inlet nozzle (6) for compressed fluid and an outlet nozzle (8) for expanded fluid, —at least two arms (12, 14), at least one of which is hinged and between which flows the fluid in order to pass from the inlet nozzle to the outlet nozzle by moving these arms with respect to one another, the arms (12, 14) being designed and hinged such that, while they move, they define at least one pocket of fluid which is moved away from the inlet nozzle in order then to return to the outlet nozzle while at the same time increasing in volume, each of the arms (12, 14) being mechanically connected to a single plane (20).

主权项

1. An apparatus for converting a difference in pressures into a mechanical movement, said apparatus comprising a microsystem having: an inlet nozzle for compressed fluid, an outlet nozzle for expanded fluid, and at least two arms directly connected to an upper plane, at least one of said arms being movable, wherein, while passing from said inlet nozzle to said outlet nozzle, fluid flows between said arms and moves at least one of said arms relative to another of said arms, wherein, said arms are configured to define, in motion, a pocket of fluid that moves away from said inlet nozzle and toward said outlet nozzle, and wherein said pocket of fluid increases in volume as it proceeds from said inlet nozzle to said outlet nozzle.
