Abstract
A piezoelectric pump includes a first faceplate, a second faceplate, a diaphragm, a first peripheral wall, and a second peripheral wall. The diaphragm includes a vibrating portion to which a piezoelectric device is attached, a frame portion, and a connecting portion. The connecting portion defines a third opening that allows a first pump chamber and a second pump chamber to communicate with each other. The first pump chamber is provided with an annular first valve surrounding a first opening at a distance from the first opening in plan view from a major surface of the first faceplate toward a major surface of the diaphragm.
