Abstract：
This report presents a review of progress on peristaltic micropumps since their emergence, which have been widely used in many research fields from biology to aeronautics. This paper summarizes different techniques that have been used to mimic this elegant physiological transport mechanism that is commonly found in nature. The analysis provides definitions of peristaltic micropumps and their different features, distinguishing them from other mechanical micropumps. Important parameters in peristalsis are presented, such as the operating frequency, stroke volume, and various actuation sequences, along with introducing design rules and analysis for optimizing actuation sequences. Actuation methods such as piezoelectric, motor, pneumatic, electrostatic, and thermal are discussed with their advantages and disadvantages for application in peristaltic micropumps. This review evaluates research efforts over the past 30 years with comparison of key features and outputs, and suggestions for future development. The analysis provides a starting point for researchers designing peristaltic micropumps for a broad range of applications.
摘要：
本报告介绍了蠕动微型泵自出现以来的进展，已广泛应用于从生物学到航空的许多研究领域。本文总结了用于模拟自然界中常见的这种优雅生理运输机制的不同技术。该分析提供了蠕动微型泵的定义及其不同特征，区别于其他机械微泵。给出了蠕动中的重要参数，例如工作频率，每搏输出量,和各种致动序列，同时引入设计规则和分析以优化致动序列。驱动方法，如压电，电机,气动,静电,讨论了它们在蠕动微型泵中的应用及其优缺点。这篇综述评估了过去30年的研究工作，并比较了关键特征和产出，并对今后的发展提出建议。该分析为研究人员设计用于广泛应用的蠕动微型泵提供了起点。
