Abstract

A pneumatic piezoelectric linear actuator (PPLA) is proposed, which possesses the advantages of low power consumption, environmental friendliness, and high linearity of positioning. The prototype of the PPLA consists of a piezoelectric gas pump with serial chambers and a cylinder. The piezoelectric gas pump with serial chambers is designed with a wedge valve and flexible support structure, which results in high output performance and meets the working requirements of pneumatic linear actuators. Prototypes of PPLA are designed and manufactured. Experiments are conducted to investigate the effect of chamber height, driving voltage, and driving frequency on the performance of the PPLA. The experimental results indicate that increasing the chamber height enhances the output performance of the PPLA. At 250 Vpp and 120 Hz, the PPLA achieves a maximum output velocity of 16.62 mm/min and is able to handle a maximum load of 11 N. Additionally, an injection simulation experiment using zebrafish embryos is conducted, which confirms the high control accuracy and linearity of the PPLA. The experiment demonstrates the potential application of the PPLA in the field of cell manipulation.

设计用于细胞操作的压电气动线性致动器

本文提出了一种气动压电线性致动器（PPLA），它具有功耗低、环保、定位线性度高等优点。PPLA 原型由一个带串联腔的压电气泵和一个气缸组成。带串联腔的压电气泵采用楔形阀和柔性支撑结构设计，输出性能高，满足气动直线执行器的工作要求。设计并制造了 PPLA 原型。实验研究了气室高度、驱动电压和驱动频率对 PPLA 性能的影响。实验结果表明，增加腔室高度可提高 PPLA 的输出性能。在 250 Vpp 和 120 Hz 的条件下，PPLA 的最大输出速度为 16.62 mm/min，并能承受 11 N 的最大负载。此外，利用斑马鱼胚胎进行的注射模拟实验证实了 PPLA 的高控制精度和线性度。该实验证明了 PPLA 在细胞操作领域的潜在应用。
