A pump (10) includes: a flat plate (20); a piezoelectric element (21); a flat plate (30); a side wall (40); a support member (22); a support member (32); a shielding plate (500); a ventilation hole (23); a ventilation hole (33); a film valve (61); and a film valve (62). The film valve (61) is arranged in a region where the flat plate (20) and the shielding plate (500) face each other. The film valve (62) is arranged in a region where the flat plate (30) and the shielding plate (500) face each other. A center side of one of the film valve (61) and the film valve (62) is fixed in a state in which an outer edge side is movable, and the outer edge side of the other is fixed in a state in which the center side is movable.

A hermetic compressor equipped with a valve assembly may include a valve plate having one suction port and a plurality of discharge ports; a suction valve provided at a first surface of the valve plate; a discharge valve provided at a second surface of the valve plate and having one fixing portion and a plurality of opening and closing portions that extends from the one fixing portion to respectively open and close the plurality of discharge ports; and a valve stopper that is fixed to the valve plate and limits a degree of opening of the opening and closing portions of the discharge valve. Accordingly, the opening and closing portions of the discharge valve may be reduced in size to thereby reduce inertia of the discharge valve. Thus, response of the discharge valve may be increased while simplifying a structure and assembly of the discharge valve.

An air flow generating device includes an enclosing wall, a frame sheet, a cover film, and a vibrating part. The frame sheet is disposed inside an air flow passage formed by the enclosing wall and closely contacts the air flow passage by its periphery. The cover film includes a central connection portion fixed to a central portion of the frame sheet, and a plurality of movable cover portions connected to the central connection portion. The cover film is between the frame sheet and an outlet of the air flow passage. The movable cover portions selectively cover a plurality of through holes of the frame sheet. The vibrating part is fixed on the frame sheet. When the vibrating part vibrates, the central portion and the central connection portion move together with the vibrating part so that the movable cover portions seal the through holes or move relative to the through holes.

A fluid end for use with a power end. The fluid end comprises a plurality of fluid end sections positioned adjacent one another. Each section includes a single horizontally positioned bore. A plunger is installed within the bore and includes a fluid passageway. Low-pressure fluid enters the bore through the plunger and high-pressure fluid exits the fluid end through an outlet valve installed within the bore. The intake of low-pressure fluid within the fluid end section is regulated by an inlet valve installed within the plunger. Low-pressure fluid enters the plunger through an inlet component attached to both the plunger and an inlet manifold.

A gas transport and pressurization system, including a static valve, a compartment concentrically arranged around the static valve, a dynamic valve axially displaceable relative to the static valve, and a crankshaft connected to the dynamic valve, wherein gas from a ground gas well flows through the compartment, the dynamic valve, and the static valve to a gas outlet.

An air supply device comprises a pump and a flow path switching unit. The pump is configured to supply air. The flow path switching unit includes a pedestal part forming a flow path from the pump to at least one object, a rotating part rotatably provided with respect to the pedestal part to switch the flow path, and a sheet member disposed between the pedestal part and the rotating part. The sheet member has a first layer and a second layer that are stacked in a direction directing from the rotating part to the pedestal part. The first layer has a smaller elastic modulus than the second layer. The second layer has a smaller friction coefficient than the first layer.

A reciprocating motor and a reciprocating compressor having a reciprocating motor are provided. The reciprocating motor may include a stator having a magnet coil, provided with an air gap respectively formed at both sides in an axial direction by interposing the magnet coil therebetween; a mover inserted into the stator, reciprocating with respect to the stator as at least one magnet is arranged at any one of the air gaps formed at both sides and a non-magnet is arranged at the other one of the air gaps; and a magnetic resonance spring that resonates the mover with respect to the stator using a force for moving toward low magnetic resistance between the mover and the stator. The reciprocating motor and the reciprocating compressor having a reciprocating motor may be downsized and lightweight, and may obtain high efficiency.
